Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 44 My Great Yue Chapter is Here

"Kneel down and you'll be spared death; surrender and you'll be spared!"

Roars echoed across the heavens and the earth, filling the battlefield.

The Great Yue Tiger Warriors were as fierce as wolves and tigers, always vying for the lead. Anyone who saw them would praise them as a mighty and battle-hardened elite force.

No one wants to fight when things are going badly, but when things are going well, everyone is unstoppable and can take on a hundred opponents.

One weapon after another was thrown to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, many people had knelt down, with few able to stand.

When the Da Yue Tiger Army arrived at the battlefield, they had already subdued the enemy without a fight and began cleaning up the battlefield.

Their morale was high, and they were arrogant, as if they had personally won the battle.

Constable Wang, County Magistrate Lin, Uncle Dou, the head of the Wang family, Manager Sun, and others surrounded Dou Changsheng in the center, and the group marched in a grand procession to Xiang Jielong's front.

Xiang Jielong knelt on one knee, holding the twelve-foot-long fire-tipped spear in both hands, signifying his submission.

Dou Changsheng strode over, grabbed Xiang Jielong's arm, and personally helped him up. Dou Jiushu, standing to the side, looked tense, with a three-foot-long sword already drawn and hovering in mid-air.

If Xiang Jielong does anything wrong, Uncle Dou will definitely come to his aid immediately.

At this moment, Uncle Dou cursed Dou Changsheng in his heart. He did such a risky thing without informing him. If Xiang Jielong had bad intentions, Uncle Dou knew that even if he kept a close eye on him at all times, he might not be able to save Dou Changsheng 100%.

The gap between a sixth-rank martial artist and a ninth-rank martial artist was too great, and given their close proximity, Xiang Jielong had far too many means to kill Dou Changsheng.

While cursing under his breath, Uncle Dou Jiu also felt a sense of admiration. Didn't Dou Changsheng know the danger?

They must have known, but to show their sincerity and how much they valued it, they still did it. Such magnanimity is truly admirable.

At this moment, the scene was silent.

The gazes were different now; Dou Changsheng was truly captivating at this moment.

Dou Changsheng remained calm, but his heart was pounding. He was willing to take this risk because he knew that every step he took from here on out would be a gamble with his life.

Just as he had predicted, Xiang Ji charged into the enemy lines alone and routed them.

But winning is easy; the most important thing is to win over the enemy forces. This is why Dou Changsheng chose not to hide Xiang Ji's face.

Dou Changsheng needed the influence of the Xiang family. Just as Dou Changsheng had predicted, the enemy army collapsed at the first contact. Xiang Jielong had no will to fight to the death and surrendered without any resistance.

However, Xiang Ji cannot last forever and will disappear after this battle. Therefore, it is crucial to gain Xiang Jielong's favor and support. As long as Xiang Jielong is secure, Sun Duxiu and Xiong Fangchu will also be secure.

With the support of these three sixth-rank martial artists, the soldiers in Lin County are now secure. By gathering them together, we can advance towards Lin County. Once we take Lin County and block Fenglai Pass, we can integrate the two counties.

Although compared to the Great Chu, it was still like an egg hitting a rock, it was enough to stir up a storm and gain the support of the Qin state. Even if he died, he could still be remembered in history.

Every step he took was like walking on thin ice, so if Xiang Jielong were to suddenly attack and kill him, Dou Changsheng would accept it.

The two looked at each other without uttering a word; it was a silent confrontation.

Whoever speaks first loses, but as the victor, Xiang Jielong has already shown magnanimity, and is in a disadvantaged position from the start.

Xiang Jielong's face tightened, and the veins on his arms bulged like a python. Dou Changsheng's risky display of magnanimity further intensified the pressure. Xiang Jielong knew the other party's purpose: to subdue him.

Such a simplistic tactic was not something Xiang Jielong, with his pride and arrogance, would naturally yield to. He had no choice but to surrender because Jiuxiao Leiting was serious and had originally planned to have a proper talk with Xiang Ji after everything was over before returning to the Xiang family in Xiaxiang.

Thunder from the heavens is serious.

We can't let important family matters be ruined.

The bulging veins finally disappeared, and Xiang Jielong gave up struggling. He spoke with difficulty, "I am grateful to Lord Dou for not abandoning me. I am willing to follow you to the death, through fire and water, and never abandon you."

it is good.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

This is Xiang Ji's greatest destructive power.

The strength of a seventh-rank official is considerable, but it is far less significant than the significance represented by the Xiang family, whose Nine Heavens Thunder, when properly unleashed, is unparalleled in power.

Constable Wang was somewhat capable, and County Lieutenant Lin was also skilled in battle; both were rare talents. However, compared to Xiang Jielong, they were worlds apart.

In terms of family background, ability, knowledge, etc., they are inferior to each other in every aspect.

Young masters from powerful families like Xiang Jielong are naturally proud and arrogant. Dou Changsheng could never subdue them through normal means, so he could only resort to this evil cultivation method.

But once Xiang Jielong publicly declared his submission, the other party would never betray him again; reputation was more important than life.

However, the methods of evil cultivators are ultimately opportunistic. If they learn the truth in the future, they will likely face another calamity. But choosing the lesser of two evils, Dou Changsheng can no longer worry about all of this.

Dou Changsheng grasped Xiang Jielong's hand tightly and said happily, "With the general here, our great cause can be accomplished."

Sun Duxiu, carrying a long sword, looked displeased and glared at Xiang Jielong with hostility. The Xiang family was truly good at acting. There were many people who shared Sun Duxiu's thoughts. The old patriarch of the Zhang family in Lin County had cursed Xiang Jielong countless times in his heart.

If it weren't for the Xiang family's acting skills, why would they have bothered to go out of the city for a decisive battle? As long as they activated the great formation, those few crooks and scoundrels from Lang County would have had no chance of breaking through the city. Now look what happened, they wiped out the Lin County army in one battle, and everyone became a prisoner.

They couldn't even run away, because that Xiong Fangchu was as fierce as a wolf and tiger, but he wasn't proactive in fighting the enemy; he was like he was on drugs.

Elder Zhang glanced at County Lieutenant Li, then at Master Zhao.

These two, like him, were both sixth-rank martial artists who had condensed their intent. They thought they were getting a bargain, but they didn't expect to fall into a trap. Now they have become brothers in misfortune.

After exchanging pleasantries with Xiang Jielong, Dou Changsheng immediately went to County Lieutenant Li, who was much more influential than County Lieutenant Lin. Lieutenant Li was a sixth-rank martial artist who directly tried to persuade Dou Changsheng to surrender, saying, "Lin County is also an ancient Yue region, and we are all Yue people."

"I want to restore Dai Viet. Would you be willing to lend me a hand?"

Without any hesitation, County Magistrate Li knelt down and said, "The people of Chu are cruel and oppress us Yue people. Today, Lord Dou is willing to raise an army to restore his country, and I am willing to follow him."

"We are willing to surrender!"

"Me too!"

The same goes for Elder Zhang and Master Zhao. They didn't fight to the death because they were inclined to surrender, since they both had families and weren't alone.

General Xiang, such a loyal minister, even left himself a way out; why should they bother to hold on?

Seeing this, Dou Changsheng drew his longsword with great enthusiasm and pointed it at Lin County, saying, "Gentlemen..."

"It's time to let the world know that Dai Viet has returned!"
