Meng Jun's fierce words provoked Ye Yang's furious anger. His handsome face was filled with rage as he suddenly raised his hand and drew the Azure Soul Sword from behind him, pointing the blade forward. He shouted, "All soldiers, heed my command! Fire your arrows and leave no Qin Soldier alive!"
Immediately, a group of Dragon Armored Warriors, who had long been prepared, raised their Longbows. In the next moment, the sound of arrows being released rang out, and a dense rain of arrows fell upon the water's surface. These arrows were infused with True Qi, making them far more lethal than those of ordinary soldiers.
"Puff puff puff..."
On the water's surface, a group of Qin Soldiers struggling to move while holding onto their warhorses suddenly found themselves in dire straits. Arrows struck them, causing sprays of blood to erupt. In an instant, hundreds of Qin Soldiers were killed, their blood staining the water red under the rising morning light, making it particularly striking.
...
Ye Yang was not a cruel-hearted person and had never intended to wipe out all these Iron Cavalry. However, Meng Jun's words had touched Ye Yang's sore spot. The one thing he could not let go of in this world was the Fire God Clan and his companions Zeng Xuan, Yun Xiaoxi, and Yan Yao. Now that Meng Jun threatened to massacre the Fire God Clan, it ignited Ye Yang's true fury, leading him to harbor murderous intent. This act was akin to Meng Jun seeking his own death. Yet, as a general of the Qin State and a descendant of General Meng Tian, he was unwilling to endure the humiliation of capture and sought only a quick death. Thus, Ye Yang issued the order for slaughter, which aligned with his own desires.
The Vermilion Bird Knights stood on wooden rafts attacking the distant Iron Cavalry with their bows and arrows. These Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry had struggled against the Flood for several hours and had finally managed to move over ten miles from the Gorge entrance to reach shallow waters. However, they did not expect to encounter Ye Yang's massacre. At this point, the exhausted Iron Cavalry could not even muster the strength to resist the Vermilion Bird Knights; they lacked even the energy to raise their arms against incoming arrows. Both man and horse had reached their physical limits.
"Clap clap clap..."
The bowstrings twanged again as another volley of arrows rained down into the river. The Iron Cavalry in the water were shot along with their horses. These weary Qin Soldiers did not even have the strength to scream; they merely groaned before sinking into the depths along with their mounts—a sight too tragic to behold.
Ye Yang turned away, unwilling to witness such a scene of slaughter. Wang Lie beside him furrowed his brow tightly, gripping the hilt of his sword as it trembled slightly.
...
At that moment, suddenly blue lights flickered in the air, followed by a massive blue net that abruptly unfolded, enveloping all the arrows!
"Clang clang clang..."
The iron tips of the arrows struck against the giant net but were broken by powerful energy. The Starlight Power howled and danced wildly; it was clear that the wielder of this giant net was a Starry Sky Level Expert.
"What is going on? Who are you?" Wang Lie suddenly raised his knife, his brows furrowing as he looked up into the sky, only to see a light blue figure descending from above, slowly landing on the surface of the water.
"Swish..."
A delicate jade foot stepped onto the water's surface, creating gentle ripples. This was a girl dressed in blue garments, her graceful figure partially concealed by the flowing fabric, exuding an ethereal beauty. In her hand, she held a gnarled wooden staff, and her lovely face gazed calmly at Ye Yang and the others.
"Who are you? Why did you save these ruthless Qin Army soldiers?" Zhao Yun raised his Dragon's Dagger, seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
The girl smiled lightly: "Azure Scale Mountain, Mingyue. I have been sent by my master to wander the world. Today, witnessing this massacre, I must intervene. Heaven has compassion for all living beings; all lives are equal. Since these Qin Army soldiers have already lost their ability to resist, why can’t you all show mercy?"
"Oh, so it's Miss Mingyue!"
Ye Yang, holding the Azure Soul Sword, stepped forward and smiled: "It has been a while since we last met after parting at Shadewall. I didn't expect to reunite here, but under such circumstances..."
Mingyue frowned slightly and said: "Ye Shao Xia, I once thought you were a person of chivalry and righteousness. However, I never expected you to be so cruel. These tens of thousands of Qin Army soldiers are living beings; how can you bear to slaughter them yourself?"
Ye Yang replied: "There is no choice. Each of these Qin Army soldiers is loyal to that tyrant Qin Ershi. If we do not kill them, these Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry will likely kill more innocent people."
Mingyue said: "They may kill; you can certainly stop them. However, you cannot justify slaughtering them based on what they might do."
Ye Yang responded: "This is a precautionary measure."
Mingyue's expression turned stern: "You are just making excuses!"
"Fine..."
Ye Yang's Azure Soul Sword suddenly surged with flames as he calmly said, "Mingyue, I respect you as the heir of Azure Scale Mountain and someone who cares for the Common People. Therefore, I do not wish to be your enemy. Leave now, and we can still be friends. However, if you insist on protecting these Executioners, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Mingyue held her staff, swirling with Azure Cyclones around her, a beautiful smile on her lips as she replied, "Is that so? Then let me experience the power of the legendary Heir of the Hidden Dragon Hall!"
Ye Yang was furious, pointing his Blade at her as he shouted, "Mingyue, why do you have to force me?"
Mingyue retorted with equal anger, "Ye Yang, I want to ask you the same thing. Why can't you put down the slaughter? Why must you use killing to save the world?"
"Then let me use this sword to prove my truth!"
Ye Yang was enraged, flames rapidly enveloping his armor. Golden Ancient Runes emerged as he entered the second stage of Fire God Transformation. The long sword roared as he unleashed the Purgatory Flame Blade, striking directly at Mingyue's shoulder. Clearly, Ye Yang did not intend to truly kill Mingyue; otherwise, he would have aimed for her head.
"Hmph!"
Mingyue snorted lightly, her pretty face filled with anger. She waved her staff, causing the water surface to tremble violently. An ice spike formed rapidly from the water ahead and quickly became an Ice Shield to block in front of her!
"Bang!"
The Azure Soul Sword was incredibly sharp and swiftly sliced through the Ice Shield. As Ice Shards flew in all directions, Mingyue swung her staff again, sending an Ice Flame Dragon toward Ye Yang. This attack combined both water and fire attributes. It was said that only disciples of Azure Scale Mountain could perfectly merge these two elemental powers to create entirely new spells and Martial Arts Manuals. Now it seemed that this was indeed true!
Ye Yang did not retreat at all and directly slashed the Purgatory Flame Blade toward the Ice Flame Dragon, instantly shattering it into countless fragments. The intense energy caused ripples to spread across the water surface.
...
"Clap clap clap..."
Ye Yang was knocked back repeatedly on the water's surface, appearing somewhat disheveled. He marveled inwardly at how Mingyue, who had seemingly never been seen before, possessed the strength of the Starry Sky Fourth Level. The heir of Azure Scale Mountain was indeed formidable. Moreover, Ye Yang's True Qi had not fully recovered after the continuous battles, putting him at a disadvantage in this all-out clash.
Mingyue's beautiful eyes were filled with determination as she stepped on the water waves and said lightly, "Ye Yang, whether you like it or not, I must save these Qin Soldiers. As the heir of Azure Scale Mountain, I cannot tolerate these lives disappearing before my eyes. I will rescue them!"
As she spoke, Mingyue suddenly exerted her strength, pushing off the water's surface with one foot, causing countless icy energies to spread around her. Miraculously, the icy energy leaped across the water's surface as if it had a spirit of its own. Each time it encountered a drowning Pre-Qin Iron Cavalry soldier, it blossomed into an ice-colored lotus, lifting them out of the water.
In an instant, the lake was filled with ice-colored lotuses. Mingyue's understanding of the ice element laws had reached such an exquisite level that it astonished Zhang Tianhe and Zhao Yun. They each lamented their inferiority; no wonder this young girl could repel Ye Yang with a single strike. Such strength was indeed remarkable.
...
Watching as each Qin Army soldier was rescued one by one only fueled Ye Yang's anger further. He raised his Azure Soul Sword and charged forward, transforming into a Flame Sword as he sprinted ahead!
"Bang!"
The Blade collided with Mingyue's Starlit Armor, instantly causing Ye Yang's blood to surge. However, Mingyue was not unscathed either; the Azure Soul Sword was incredibly sharp, and its blade had already pierced through the Starlit Armor, causing flames to scorch her and inflict some burning damage.
"That's too much..." Mingyue exclaimed in anger as she waved her staff, unleashing five consecutive ice spikes that shot toward Ye Yang's Starlit Armor.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ice Shards splattered everywhere as Ye Yang staggered back repeatedly, looking utterly disheveled. Blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth; in this clash, he still fell short compared to Mingyue.
With his legs giving way, Ye Yang knelt on a patch of ice-colored lotuses, blood flowing from his mouth and splattering onto the snow below, creating beautiful crimson flowers.
At that moment, a powerful aura suddenly surged, crashing violently against Mingyue's shield. Instantly, Mingyue glided far across the water's surface, the waves roiling as the formidable Starlight Power sliced through the air, unleashing a sword energy that struck towards Mingyue once more.
"Ugh..."
Mingyue let out a low groan, hurriedly waving her staff to reconstitute her shield. With a loud bang, the newly formed shield was shattered again; the opponent's refined True Qi was simply beyond her capacity to withstand.
"Who are you?"
Mingyue looked up and saw a beautiful girl hovering above the water, holding a long sword that shimmered with drifting snowflakes, her face filled with anger as she gazed at Mingyue.
"You... are Yun Xiaoxi?!" Mingyue recognized her.
"Indeed," Yun Xiaoxi nodded, her expression calm as she said lightly, "Is this strike with fifty percent True Qi of the Ice Crystal Technique powerful enough? The next strike will be with one hundred percent True Qi."
Mingyue raised an eyebrow, "Yun Xiaoxi, Serene Gate and Azure Scale Mountain have always kept to themselves. Why are you attacking me like this?"
Yun Xiaoxi pointed at Ye Yang and said, "If you want to harm this guy, I will never allow it! Leave now, and I can spare your life!"
Mingyue was furious, clenching her delicate fist. "Hmph! This guy intends to kill tens of thousands of lives; I will never allow that!"
