Chapter 371: Until He Left a Breath
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Such humiliation left Yin Qing trembling with anger, and he glared at her fiercely. “You…”
“Hmm?” Gu Qingluan’s gaze turned icy, and she applied pressure with her foot.
Yin Qing’s threat got stuck in his throat.
After a long pause, he questioned with frustration, “You just swore not to participate in the battle between the two armies. Do you intend to break that oath?”
“I wouldn’t have remembered if you didn’t mention it.”
Gu Qingluan turned her head and spotted Feng Tianlan flying toward them. She beckoned with her finger. “Come and beat him up.”
Feng Tianlan had just defeated the Giant Emperor Lizard, and his white robe remained untarnished. If his face were any more handsome, he would have looked like a walking light source.
Of course, he had now attracted the attention of countless onlookers.
A seventh-grade saint beast, the Giant Emperor Lizard, had been beaten to death by him!
What a monstrous feat!
Feng Tianlan’s deep gaze first scanned Gu Qingluan from head to toe, then turned to focus on Yin Qing.
“How should i beat him?”
“Until he left a breath,” Gu Qingluan replied, her lips carrying a faint smile, but her words were chilling.
The Dingbei Army soldiers in the vicinity couldn’t help but shudder.
Yin Qing, a mix of shock and anger, sounded anxious, “You dare! Do you know who 1 am?”
Feng Tianlan calmly looked at him, then punched him in the face without any change in his expression.
“Alih!” Yin Qing let out a miserable scream, and a few of his teeth fell from his mouth.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that only a few teeth fell out.
Keep in mind that saints not only had profound arcane power but also tougher bodies than ordinary people.
To knock out a few teeth with a single punch required unimaginable force. Ordinary individuals couldn’t achieve such a feat.
“Demoness, release Saint Yin Qing!” Chen Chong shouted, holding a knife and pointing it at both of them.
Surrounded by Dingbei Army soldiers, no one dared to step forward.
Gu Qingluan and Feng Tianlan’s strength was far too formidable. They had even bloodily defeated a saint and a seventh-grade saint beast. Despite having plenty of soldiers, charging at them would only turn them into cannon fodder.
However, as soldiers, they couldn’t run away, especially Dingbei Army soldiers, who didn’t have the word “escape” in their lives.
When Gu Qingluan heard the voice, she looked up.
Chen Chong met her gaze and instinctively took a step back, unable to conceal his fear of her.
Having just scanned the surroundings with her divine sense and not seeing the man in white armor, Gu Qingluan raised the corner of her lips mockingly. “You’re a commander of the Dingbei Army, 1 presume?”
Chen Chong looked at her with murderous intent in his eyes. “That’s right! You killed Duke Dingbei, and we’re here to avenge him!”
“I’m quite curious, are you loyal to Duke Dingbei or to Chengyuan and Emperor Xuanzong? Did Duke Dingbei teach you to betray the country and oppose the court?”
Chen Chong immediately responded, “Nonsense! Our lord is loyal and devoted; he would never betray the country!”
“If you haven’t betrayed the country, then what are your actions now considered?”
“It’s because of you! You killed our lord! We’re here to demand justice from the Emperor!”
“Justice?” Gu Qingluan laughed. “Have you ever considered the Emperor’s authority? Without an imperial edict, military forces are not allowed to leave their stationed areas. Before Duke Dingbei died, you were already outside the Heavenly Capital City. Weren’t you preparing for rebellion?”
“Nonsense! We came to protect the Emperor! Our lord said that someone was planning a rebellion, so we rushed to support the Tianjing Capital.”
Gu Qingluan observed Chen Chong’s flushed and angry face, seemingly genuinely unaware of the situation. She raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Did Duke Dingbei say it like that to you?”
Chen Chong nodded.
Gu Qingluan smirked.
This was getting interesting.
She had initially thought that the Dingbei Army had been brainwashed by Duke Dingbei, treating him like a deity and disregarding the concept of the “nation”.
But it turned out that Duke Dingbei had deceived them from the beginning.
When she revealed the truth to Chen Chong, he didn’t believe her, thinking she was slandering Duke Dingbei.
Gu Qingluan remained composed and said, “If you don’t believe me, feel free to ask others.. Who did Duke Dingbei say was planning a rebellion?”
