Chapter 277 Battle: Zhong Yue's Scheme

Chapter 177 Battle: Zhong Yue's Scheme

Upon hearing this voice, Zhong Yuemou's expression finally changed drastically.

Countless arrows from human warriors rained down upon the land.

All the arrows were on fire, and when they landed on the grass and trees, they immediately set the area ablaze, turning the originally frigid temperature of Wenggu into a scorching heat.

"kill!"

Countless people shouted and charged downwards with weapons in hand, instantly clashing with the demon soldiers, and the battle became chaotic.

This scene was unexpected by Zhong Yuemou, Yao Xun, and the others.

"Mr. Zhong, what do we do now? When did humans become so cunning?"

Yao Xun looked around, where countless drops of blood were splattering, making his face turn somewhat cold.

"Wenggu Pass is sealed off; this is practically a dead end. If we can wait for the Demon Lord to arrive, we might still have a chance, but..."

"Mr. Zhong, don't worry. I'm here, and Lord Chen is outside. Even if you have reinforcements, they will be blocked by Lord Chen. So, today, this is a doomed situation specially prepared for you."

At that moment, a silver light shot into the sky, followed by a young man dressed in black with wings spread on his back who emerged from the forest and finally hovered in the sky.

He crossed his arms, a hint of mockery on his face.

"I never expected to lose to a boy who is only twenty years old. I'm so angry."

Zhong Yuemou looked at Ye Ru, his face turning extremely gloomy, and said coldly.

“Even the wisest can make a mistake. Mr. Zhong is too kind. However, Wenggu is a good burial place. Why don’t you two rest here in peace?”

Ye Ru smiled slightly and said.

"How did you guess that I would come here today?"

Zhong Yuemou said coldly. He was also somewhat surprised that the young man in front of him was so intelligent and resourceful, setting up such an ingenious scheme, and even using the demon soldiers to convey this information to him.

"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Mr. Zhong is well-versed in military strategy, so he should know this."

Ye Rudao.

"What a terrifying young man! If you were here, perhaps my demon race would never have been able to conquer the Yanhuang Kingdom in this lifetime. But now that you have come out, I will eliminate you completely. General Yao Xun, this man is too terrifying, kill him!"

Zhong Yue pointed at Ye Ru and said coldly to Yao Xun.

"Alright! You brat, you've ruined my plans time and time again. Today I'll skin you alive and pull out your tendons!"

Yao Xun looked at Ye Ru, and finally stomped his foot on the ground. A huge demonic aura immediately spread outwards, and after killing several human warriors, it suddenly shot towards Ye Ru.

"Hmph, you scoundrel! Yesterday, the four of us let you escape, which made us feel ashamed of our inferiority. Today, you still want to run away?"

As soon as the chilling voice fell, four beams of light appeared in front of Ye Ru and then blasted heavily towards Yao Xun.

"Mr. Zhong, it's just the two of us here. Why don't you surrender to me and I'll spare your life?"

Seeing that Yao Xun was being stopped by Guan Mou and the others, Ye Ru flapped his wings and appeared in front of Zhong Yuemou, who was trying to escape.

"A mere student who has only completed the preliminary examinations? How dare you stop me?"

Zhong Yuemou said coldly.

"A mere student is sufficient, but once you enter the demonic path and become a ghost scholar of the demon race, how much will your talent surpass mine?"

Ye Ru's gaze turned slightly cold as the Three Perfections Writing Brush appeared in his hand, which he then aimed at Zhong Yuemou.

"The brush is fine, but I wonder which is better, it or my white feather fan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yuemou stomped his foot and blasted it towards Ye Ru. He infused his white feather fan with his talent, which instantly became incredibly hard, like a sharp blade, and shot straight at Ye Ru's neck.

As Ye Ru gazed at the ever-growing feather fan through his pupils, his brows furrowed, and he swung his Three Absolutes Literary Heart Brush horizontally across his body.

clang!

A crisp sound rang out, and Ye Ru staggered back dozens of steps.

With a stomp of his foot, Ye Ru's hand moved swiftly as he wrote:

"But with General Li Guang guarding Longcheng, the barbarian horses will not dare to cross the Yin Mountains!"

After the poem was completed, Li Guang appeared behind Ye Ru and shot an arrow.

The arrow, carrying immense power, hurtled towards Zhong Yuemou with incredible speed, causing the latter's expression to change.

"The flames of war rage like dragon waves, and the winds and rainstorms rage across the sky..."

After Zhong Yuemou finished writing his poem, the sky suddenly became extremely gloomy, and even the moon could not be seen. Then a tornado suddenly formed behind him, and then turned into a beam of light and shadow, which collided heavily with the arrow.

boom!

A powerful burst of talent erupted, transforming into a series of ripples that touched the demon soldiers and human warriors, causing them all to stagger.

"To be so strong with only the strength of a child... he is indeed a dangerous person."

After taking two steps back, a serious expression appeared on Zhong Yuemou's face.

"Mr. Zhong, this isn't over yet."

Ye Ru smiled slightly, and a beam of light shot out from between his eyebrows, eventually transforming into a huge cauldron.

"Golden inscription?"

Upon seeing this, Zhong Yuemou's face turned completely ugly, and then he said coldly:

"So there was something they relied on."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Yuemou waved his hand, and four large characters emerged from his sleeve, finally appearing in front of him:

"To punish the traitors and restore the dynasty."

"Suppress the traitors and restore the dynasty..."

Ye Ru frowned, pondering the origin of those four words, then his pupils contracted:

"No wonder you have such great talent and a white feather fan in your hand. It turns out you have received the inheritance of Zhuge Liang, the half-sage. This is the 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops'!"

This document is a memorial written by Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Han, to Liu Shan, the Later Ruler, before he decided to march north to attack Wei and seize Chang'an. Although it was written during the time of the great Confucian scholar, the power of the sacred doctrine within it is even stronger than that of ordinary Confucian scholar's writings.

"Hehe, I wonder what Zhuge Liang's reaction would be if he saw this scene."

Zhong Yuemou smiled slightly, pointed his finger at Ye Rusen, and shouted coldly, his voice echoing through the sky:

"go with!"

The four large characters transformed into four streams of light, which blasted towards Ye Ru. Ye Ru's gaze also turned cold, and the giant cauldron, carrying terrifying flames that seemed capable of burning the heavens and earth, collided with the cauldron.

The two forces of talent collided, and Ye Ru's face turned extremely pale.

He was originally just a student in the imperial examinations, and although he had the help of many people like Jin Wen, he was still far from being a Hanlin scholar.

"Si! Mu! Rong!"

Seemingly knowing that this one cauldron alone was not enough to defeat it, Ye Ru summoned the remaining three bronze characters and directly clashed with it.

The eight sacred powers collided with each other, causing the ground to crack open like a spider web, spreading outwards. Wherever they passed, the demon soldiers screamed in agony as they were completely incinerated into nothingness by the overflowing sacred power.

boom!

With a loud thud, all eight characters exploded, and the powerful energy of their talents transformed into tangible ripples, sending both of them flying backward before crashing heavily to the ground.
