Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 90 A Gift for Meng Yi

Seeing so many corvées blocked at the pass, Sukotaku felt extremely remorseful. He was so careless that he let 30,000 cavalrymen be killed by a group of unarmed corvées. It was such a shame. Even if he broke out of the siege, how could he give an explanation to his people? He suddenly looked up to the sky and shouted, "I, Sukotaku, am ashamed of my people. I have no face to live in this world, and I deserve to die!" He pulled out the dagger from his waist and wanted to commit suicide.

At this time, several Xiongnu soldiers shouted: "General Hu, you must not do this. As long as you are alive, we can still make a comeback and foreign tribes will not dare to bully us easily. This is not your fault. You must let it go!"

Sukotaku held the dagger in his hand and hesitated for a long time. What his tribesmen said was right. If he was alive, with this knife, foreign tribes would be wary. Even though he had no cavalry, the Khan would still use him and follow him in battles. The status of his tribesmen could still be preserved. But if he died, then his tribesmen would never be able to raise their heads again.

Sukotaku stared at Jin Xingzi coldly and said fiercely: "I will kill you despicable corvées today!"

Jin Xingzi chuckled and said, "Even now, after such a terrible defeat, you still dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me. You are really thick-skinned!"

Suko Taku shouted, "Okay! I'll kill you first, show your weapon!"

Jin Xingzi said: "I don't need any weapons, let's see if you can kill me today!"

Sukotaku was furious. He rode on the Roaring Tiger, raised his Yan Chi long sword, and rushed towards Jin Xingzi. Jin Xingzi saw Sukotaku rushing towards him angrily, smiled, jumped onto the boulder, and said, "Let this tiger run away first, then I'll play with you!"

At this time, Xiao Tianhu carrying Xu Ketuo had jumped in front of Jin Xingzi. Xu Ketuo swung his long sword, drawing a black light, and slashed at Jin Xingzi with a whistling sound. Jin Xingzi laughed, turned his body, and easily dodged. He lightly tapped his toes and flew behind Xiao Tianhu's buttocks. He slapped the tiger's buttocks with one palm, "Who said you can't touch a tiger's buttocks!"

After being slapped by Jin Xingzi, the Roaring Sky Tiger became furious and turned its body suddenly, throwing Sukotaku out. Sukotaku propped himself up on the ground with his long sword, flew up and leaped steadily onto the boulder. At this time, the Roaring Sky Tiger roared, kicked its hind legs hard, and the whole tiger body flew up, opened its huge mouth and pounced on Jin Xingzi.

Jin Xingzi said, "How dare you, you evil beast!" He flew over three feet away and continued to curse, "You little brat, just farted and you scared me away. I just slapped my butt and you actually came to bite me..." At this time, Sukotaku's long sword drew a black light and slashed down with a thousand pounds of force. Jin Xingzi quickly stopped talking and flew away.

With a "bang", sparks flew and gravel flew everywhere. The huge rock that Jin Xingzi flew away was broken into pieces by Suko Taku's sword, which shows how powerful this sword is.

When the corvées saw that Xukotuo had such great strength, and was worthy of being a fierce general of the Huns, they couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Jin Xingzi.

As soon as Jin Xingzi landed on the ground, the Roaring Sky Tiger turned around and pounced on him. Jin Xingzi dodged while cursing, "If I don't teach you a lesson, you beast, do you think I'm easier to deal with than a little face?" He suddenly turned his body and went behind the Roaring Sky Tiger's butt. He grabbed the thick tiger's tail that flew by with both hands. With a burst of demonic power in his arms, he pulled the huge Roaring Sky Tiger up. The Roaring Sky Tiger's tail felt severe pain, and it opened its huge mouth and roared in pain. Its whole body was spinning. Jin Xingzi grabbed the tiger's tail and turned three circles. Seeing that Sukotaku was coming again, he threw the Roaring Sky Tiger away to avoid the thunderbolt.

The Roaring Sky Tiger was thrown several feet away, fell heavily to the ground, wailing, and rolled more than ten feet away. It was dizzy and unable to get up.

The corvées were stunned. They only knew that Jin Xingzi was agile, but they didn't expect that he, who was short in stature, had such supernatural powers. It really shows that one cannot judge a book by its cover. The corvées began to cheer.

Wuzhan had already led the corvées who were ambushed on the mountain down the hillside and joined forces with the corvées at the pass. They watched from afar the fight between Jin Xingzi and Sukotaku, which made Sukotaku angrier and angrier as the fight went on.

This landslide was naturally caused by a large amount of gunpowder that was buried in the cracks of the rocks at night and ignited and exploded. After Wuzhan saw Meng Tian passing by, he secretly arranged people to collect the materials for the gunpowder. Jinxingzi and Lingkongzi refined it according to the formula given by Wuzhan. The people arranged on the mountain were used to ignite the gunpowder together. In this way, once the Hun army entered the valley, they would have nowhere to escape.

When Xiao Tianhu suddenly stopped, he smelled the smell of gunpowder, but Xu Ketuo didn't care. In fact, even if he cared, it wouldn't make much difference, because they had no other way to go. It would just reduce the number of people who would be crushed to death, and the rest would be killed by Meng Yi who was chasing them. He chose to return from here, which was destined to be a road to death.

Wuzhan killed the most people this time, with more than 30,000 people dying under his formation. Although they were all Huns, they were actually the same and had the same blood. They were just divided for territory. As Senior Xingtian said, gods are also human beings, but they are more selfish and the division is more thorough.

The reason why I start to hate it is because I understand it. What I hate is something I must go through, and I must complete the road I hate.

Looking at Sukotaku who was almost angry and powerless and was being teased by Jin Xingzi, Wuzhan wanted to give this big gift to Meng Yi to save his brother's face, but this was not enough. If he wanted to enter the court, he needed to kill more people, achieve more achievements, and gain more trust.

The sound of hurried horse hooves gradually became clearer inside the pass. Countless cavalrymen were galloping towards them. The word "Meng" was written on the flags dancing in the dust. Leading them was a general wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, and a black cloak. He was not much older than Wuzhan, with a well-proportioned figure, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as sharp as a knife, and an extraordinary bearing. This man must be Meng Yi.

When the rumbling Qin army arrived at the mouth of the valley, they saw the valley full of rocks, corpses and blood. Everyone was shocked, "What happened here!" Meng Yi was also shocked. He couldn't guess how these Hun cavalry were killed. An hour ago, they were still a rampant cavalry of 30,000, but now, they were buried in the valley.

The news that the sacred tree had been conquered by the Huns and the corvée laborers had been massacred had already reached the court. Some people in the court accused Meng Tian of dereliction of duty, of holding on to his own troops, of defending Yanmen Pass and refusing to send out troops, which led to the rampant Huns. Some ministers weighed the pros and cons, analyzed the consequences of the fall of Yanmen Pass and defended Meng Tian. The First Emperor trusted Meng Tian and appointed Wang Ben and Meng Yi as generals, each with 20,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry, and rushed to Shangjun Pass to encircle and suppress the Huns.

When the Xiongnu cavalry learned that Qin had sent troops to block them, they did not engage them, but instead withdrew along their original routes. Wang Ben led his troops to pursue Huyan Lieri's Wolf Division, while Meng Yi pursued Xukotuo's Tiger Division. However, the Xiongnu were all cavalry, while the Qin army was mostly infantry, and their marching speeds were too different. Even if the Qin army tried their best to catch up, the distance between them was getting farther and farther.

Meng Yi thought he could not catch up and could only drive them away, but he did not expect that the Xiongnu cavalryman died mysteriously in the valley. Suddenly, a report came from the front, "The Xiongnu general Xu Ketuo was found in the valley, and he was besieged by tens of thousands of corvées!"

Meng Yi was startled and dismounted in a hurry. Holding his spear, he stepped on the fallen rocks and ran towards the valley at a brisk pace. Not long after, he turned the bend and found Xu Ketuo shouting and fighting with a short Taoist priest. Xiao Tianhu, who was not far away, was roaring but could not get up. There were tens of thousands of corvées at the pass. He thought, "Could these be the work of the corvées?"

When Jin Xingzi saw that Meng Yi had arrived with the Qin soldiers, his eyes turned and he shouted, "I can't beat you! I won't fight anymore! You are too strong and you are not tired after chopping for a long time. I admit defeat and I am leaving!" After saying that, he jumped up and jumped several feet away.

Sukotaku shouted, "Where are you running to!" and swung his sword at him again.

Jin Xingzi jumped high again and shouted, "The person who will kill you is behind you!" He jumped out several feet again.

Sukotaku was panting and sweating profusely. He looked back angrily and saw a young Qin army general rushing towards him. Judging from his appearance, it should be Meng Yi. He turned around, held his long sword across, and shouted, "Do you dare to duel with me!" He thought that he could not escape death today, and if he could kill Meng Yi, his life would not be in vain.

Meng Yi did not answer immediately, but stared at Wuzhe in front of the crowd and asked, "Did you lead the people to ambush the 30,000 Xiongnu cavalry?"

Wuzhan bowed and said, "It was the magic array I set up that caused the landslide!"

Meng Yi was in disbelief when he heard this, so he did not ask any more questions. He knew that Wuzhan must be a hermit, so he bowed and thanked him, saying, "I am Meng Yi. I would like to thank the righteous man on behalf of the Qin soldiers and the people. May I know your name?"

Wuzhan bowed and said, "I have long heard of your mighty power. I have no name, and my Taoist name has been Wuzhan since I was young!"

Sukotaku was sandwiched between two people. They ignored his existence, which was the greatest insult to him. He shouted, "You are going too far. I will kill you!" He waved his long sword and rushed towards Meng Yi.

It's not that Meng Yi didn't care about Xu Ketuo, but he wanted to know who did this, so he put him aside. Seeing the long sword coming, "Okay! I'll use your goose-wing sword today!" Knowing that Xu Ketuo was extremely strong, he couldn't take it head-on, so he quickly flew to dodge, "Bang!" The boulder was split in half, and sparks flew.

"He is very skilled in martial arts and we cannot defeat him. General, be careful!" This was the nonsense that Wuzhan asked Jin Xingzi to say.

When Xu Ketuo saw that Meng Yi avoided his long sword, he turned his body and swung the long sword in a full-moon shape, determined to kill Meng Yi.

Meng Yi said, "Thanks for the reminder!" He rolled over to avoid the long sword, kicked off, held the gun with both hands, and stabbed Sukotaku's heart with an incredibly fast speed. The residual force of the long sword had not yet dissipated, so Sukotaku could only dodge sideways.

After a few rounds, the two had fought for more than twenty rounds. If Jin Xingzi had not consumed a lot of Xukotaku's physical strength, Meng Yi would have found it difficult to withstand Xukotaku's attack. However, Meng Yi had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his skills were extraordinary and he was experienced, which put Xukotaku in danger.

The martial arts of both of them are first-rate in the world. Although there are some cultivators who are far superior to them, most of those cultivators are detached from the world, do not get involved in the secular world, meditate and gain enlightenment, seldom participate in wars, and often create injustices. For example, Jiang Yuan and others, if they were not seeking immortality, how could they submit to the court and work for it.

When Meng Yi saw Sukotaku's weakness, he swung his spear and a beam of white light pierced Sukotaku's heart. Sukotaku's whole body shook, and his sword fell to the ground. He stared with fierce eyes, lowered his head and looked at his heart, blood gushing out.

The Qin army shouted: "The general is mighty! The general is mighty!..." The sound shook the valley.
