When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

Chapter 325: Coercion from God

Huang Shigong miscalculated in the end. Having lived for more than 300 years, he thought he could calculate everything in the world. He could even predict that after the Qin State unified the world, there would inevitably be a period of time when the dragon would regret its actions and the moon would be full and then wane. The time when the Qin State was at its strongest was also its weakest. At that time, his plan would be truly realized, something that had not been accomplished for thousands of years.

However, the appearance of Yang Chong brought the biggest change to Huang Shigong's plan. The resurgence of Qi made Huang Shigong realize that the situation in the world was developing in the same direction as before. In the past, Qin and Qi coexisted, and the world once presented the trend of two emperors in the east and the west. Later, Qi's hegemony collapsed and never recovered. However, the appearance of Yang Chong broke this situation.

Qi State rose again and was even able to compete with Qin State. Huang Shigong was no longer sure what the world would be like in the future, but he knew that the direction of the world would definitely not be as he had planned. The compatibility between Qin and Chu that he pursued would only become a joke.

That's why he appeared here and took the initiative to lure Yang Chong out.

During Huang Shigong's investigation of Yang Chong, he found that Yang Chong was a very casual person. From this point of view, Yang Chong was by no means a qualified king. At least compared with Qin Shihuang's diligence, Yang Chong's various behaviors seemed to be completely unprofessional. Look, at this time, Yang Chong was not in the Qi Palace in Linzi, but in the dilapidated temple in Jucheng.

Can a proper king do such a thing? Huang Shigong doesn't think so.

That's why Huang Shigong wanted to use immortality as bait to lure Yang Chong out of the chess game of the world and take another path.

Unfortunately, no matter how old Huang Shigong lives, he will never understand the king's thoughts. For some people, the passage of time can only increase their experience, but it is hard to say whether experience can be transformed into another higher level of wisdom.

Although Huang Shi Gong lived a long life, he had never been a king. How could he know the king's thoughts?

At this time, he appeared in front of Yang Chong and threw out the temptation of immortality. This was because Yang Chong did not have too much obsession with immortality and had his own plans. If Yang Chong was replaced by Qin Wang Zheng, it would be hard to say. Given Qin Wang Zheng's fear of death, once he knew that someone controlled the secret of immortality, he would directly dispatch an army of 100,000 to capture the person of immortality.

As for negotiating terms? Qin Wang Zheng would not negotiate terms with anyone. He would only arrest the person and torture him severely before asking for the secret of immortality.

"This old man is a little surprising, but more disappointing." In Huang Shi Gong's disappointment, Yang Chong left directly. He just wanted to know the whereabouts of Han Xin. As for Huang Shi Gong, he had lived for so many years that he had an illusion that he was very powerful. He thought he was beyond this world, but in fact he was just an old man who deceived himself.

"Is there really someone in the world who can live for more than three hundred years?" the Snow Girl asked in shock.

Just now, Huang Shigong blocked Han Xin from the Grandmaster realm, but Xue Nu was not blocked by Yang Chong.

Xue Nu, who was shocked by the conversation between Yang Chong and Huang Shi Gong just now, still found it difficult to calm down. Although she had a cold and indifferent personality, how could she remain calm when faced with something that was beyond her understanding? How could there be such outrageous things in this world?

After leaving the ruined temple, Xue Nu could no longer restrain her curiosity and asked Yang Chong this question.

“Although it is incredible, in the eyes of ordinary people, the master’s various magical powers are no different from those of gods. If people do not believe in gods, how could there be so many legends about gods?” Yang Chong said. At this moment, his mood was not as calm as he looked. After all, it was about lifespan. It would be such an interesting thing if a person could live for hundreds of years.

Especially now that Yang Chong already has so many things. It can be said that Yang Chong has everything that every man pursues. However, a man like him will inevitably be dissatisfied when he dreams at midnight. The thousands of miles of territory of Qi State will eventually be a thing of the past once the life span comes to an end. King Chong of Qi and King Zheng of Qin actually have the same troubles.

However, Yang Chong found it difficult to accept the conditions proposed by Huang Shigong. Moreover, he was now in his prime and the threat to his lifespan was still far away. Naturally, he did not need to agree to Huang Shigong's conditions so eagerly.

Moreover, Yang Chong also believed that as long as there was a way in this world to prolong a person's life, he would be able to obtain it in the next few decades. There was no reason why Huang Shigong could do it but he, Yang Chong, could not.

"So what Senior Huang Shigong said is true?" Even though Yang Chong's answer was affirmative, Xue Nu still felt unbelievable.

There are so many myths and legends, but who has ever seen the real myths and legends?
Even though people in Qi often see various fairy mountains and fairy palaces above the sea, no one has ever climbed the so-called fairy mountains and fairy palaces. The reason why myths are called myths is because of their illusory nature. Are myths that can be touched still myths?
"Immortality is impossible. Everything in the world has a lifespan. Even the ocean will reach the end of its life and turn into mulberry fields, let alone humans. Immortality is nothing but an illusion. However, human lifespan is only a few decades. If there is a person who can live for hundreds of years, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years, in the eyes of the world, that is actually no different from immortality." Yang Chong said.

"The young year doesn't know the big year, and the mayfly doesn't know the spring and autumn?" The Snow Girl said to herself. Along the way, Yang Chong's world has been opened to her, but in this process, not only did the Snow Girl fail to understand Yang Chong better, but as her understanding of Yang Chong deepened, she felt more and more that she could not understand Yang Chong's world.

"That's about what it means. It doesn't look like it will be very quiet tonight." Yang Chong suddenly looked up at the sky. The starry sky had disappeared at some point, and was replaced by rolling dark clouds.

"Not quiet? Is it going to rain? It seems like a heavy rain." The Snow Girl followed Yang Chong's gaze and saw lightning appearing among the dark clouds. Such rain must be a heavy rain.

"But it's not that simple. Let's leave here quickly." Yang Chong concentrated. He had already smelled a strong malice. It was the malice of this world directed at him. Since the fall of the Yan State, Yang Chong had felt that his fortune had changed. The sudden rain and the restless thunder made Yang Chong feel uneasy. He had not had a similar feeling for a long time.

Yang Chong had a premonition that this sudden rain was definitely not a coincidence, but was aimed at him.

Before the Snow Girl could react, Yang Chong had already dragged her out of the city.

Yang Chong was extremely fast, but the speed of the thunder in the sky was even faster. In a gust of lightning, the Snow Girl saw the flashing thunder in the dark clouds in the sky chasing her and Yang Chong in the direction they left, as if it could fall at any time. In a trance, the Snow Girl felt that she must have understood something. The thunder in the sky was targeting them, or more accurately, Yang Chong.

But how could such a thing happen? If what I saw was true, wouldn't it be a thunderbolt?
Although it is said that only extremely treacherous and evil people will be struck by lightning, Xue Nu has never seen an evil person being struck by lightning. Could it be that those evil people are not evil enough, and only people like Yang Chong can be called extremely treacherous and evil?

But, what kind of evil deeds did Yang Chong do that were intolerable to heaven and earth to deserve such treatment?

You have to know that Bai Qi of the Qin State fought all his life, and no less than one million soldiers and civilians of the six states died at his hands, but there was no sign that Bai Qi was struck by lightning?
Faced with the unknown, Xue Nu rarely showed a look of fear. It was because of herself, but she was more worried about Yang Chong.

At the moment when Yang Chong and the Snow Girl rushed out of Jucheng, a bolt of lightning tore through the darkness and struck straight towards Yang Chong. At the critical moment, Yang Chong let go of the Snow Girl and directly faced the thunder falling from the sky.

The power at the peak of the Grandmaster's rank is already the limit of power that a person can possess in this world. When Yang Chong unreservedly used the Shui Han Sword, the cold air spread, directly turning the area of ​​dozens of feet in radius into a world of ice, freezing all the rain falling from the sky.

The ice, which is harder than iron, can only block the thunder for a moment. When the first thunder fell, countless thunders followed, destroying the ice world condensed by Yang Chong and turning it into countless ice chips that melted under the thunder.

"Could it be that this thing wants to kill me?" Yang Chong cut off a bolt of lightning with a sword and felt his palm go numb. The electric current spread through his body, paralyzing him for a moment. However, there were countless bolts of lightning like this.

Even someone as powerful as Yang Chong was at a loss under the might of heaven. After all, human power cannot defeat nature.

So the Snow Girl who was thrown away by Yang Chong saw a scene that horrified her. Was this a punishment from heaven?
How could such a thing happen? Snow Girl looked at the scene in front of her in horror. Although she wanted to do something for Yang Chong, she was powerless. She didn't even dare to step forward and could only stay away from him because any one of those thunderbolts was enough to take her life.

Under the thunder, Yang Chong used all his methods, from the sword techniques of various schools of thought, to the power-absorbing technique, to the Zhouyou Liuxu Gong, Fuxi Shentian Xiang, and even the sword techniques of the Twenty-Three and Twenty-Seven Limits of Sword. As long as Yang Chong knew it, he would use it all at this time, just to make himself hold on longer, hoping that something biographical would happen.

However, as Yang Chong struggled to hold on, the storm not only showed no signs of abating, but seemed to have become even more violent because of Yang Chong's resistance.

In the face of divine might, even a strong man like Yang Chong had to defend himself, but if he defended for too long, he would not be able to lose. When Yang Chong was caught off guard, a bolt of lightning pierced his chest directly. Without even a drop of blood, the pierced area was already charred black.

This attack directly paused Yang Chong's defense, but the thunder in the sky would not give Yang Chong a chance. During the brief paralysis that Yang Chong experienced, the thunder in the sky seemed to have found an outlet and rushed towards Yang Chong densely.

But at this extremely critical moment, changes occurred in Yang Chong's body. The dragon of vitality that he had refined seemed to be activated, and it automatically protected its master, emitting pure vitality, instantly repairing the wounds on Yang Chong's body, and then infusing the vast vitality into Yang Chong's body.

What shocked Yang Chong even more was that as he absorbed the Yuan Qi of the Yuan Qi Dragon, his strength seemed to change. When he once again used the Heaven-Swallowing Sword Qi to meet the thunder that was striking down on him, he used the same trick to block the thunder's attack. This was not because Yang Chong's attack had become stronger, but because the thunder had lost some hostility in the confrontation with the Heaven-Swallowing Sword Qi, and thus lost some power.

What is this? Seeing this, Yang Chong couldn't help but think of a possibility. The attribute of the Yuan Qi Dragon is thunder. Could it be that because it has the same source as the thunder that keeps striking from the sky, it can make the thunder from the sky less aggressive?
Realizing this, Yang Chong began to practice the energy-absorbing technique, frantically devouring the vitality of the Yuan Qi Dragon, just to survive the current crisis.

As the Yuan Qi Dragon's Yuan Qi was continuously absorbed by Yang Chong, Yang Chong's true Qi also changed, and the aura on his body was constantly changing. Yang Chong's changes seemed to make the thunder in the sky find a familiar feeling, so that it no longer regarded Yang Chong as a mortal enemy as it did at the beginning.

If everything continues like this, Yang Chong will eventually be able to escape the current disaster.

But everything was not that simple. As more and more energy of the Yuan Qi Dragon was absorbed by Yang Chong, Yang Chong found that his body had changed. Two bulges appeared on his forehead, as if something was about to break out.

He could even feel his spine stretching and his bones changing. His originally smooth skin was actually beginning to develop mysterious textures, becoming tougher. A mysterious force was constantly gathering in it, as if it was about to transform into another form.

Yang Chong's clothes, which originally fit him well, were slowly torn apart.

When Yang Chong saw that his hands had turned into a pair of indescribable beast claws, he suddenly looked up at the sky. A few raindrops fell in front of his eyes. In the flashing lightning, Yang Chong discovered that his appearance had changed. His pupils had become double pupils without him knowing when, and there were two horns in his hair.

Are you trying to force me to transform into a dragon? From his own transformation, Yang Chong suddenly realized a reality.

Yang Chong realized that the situation he was facing now was probably not a dead end, but rather that the will of heaven was forcing him to merge with the dragon of vitality and complete the transformation into a dragon.

Once he turned into a dragon, would he still be a human? Yang Chong was not sure.
