The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 357: Three Battles, the Final Battle is Imminent

Time is like water, fleeting.

The development of the War of the Gods was just as Deng Youwen expected.

With the help of Taoism and Buddhism, within a year, most of the gods turned into food for Hao Shen and Snake Shen to become stronger.

A year later, Taoism and Buddhism began to fight.

There were three battles, each more intense than the last.

In the first battle, the Taoist sect sent out thirty disciples of Tiandeng level to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to attack.

Among these warriors, there are ten jade warriors driven by Hao Shen.
I thought I had victory, but unexpectedly the Buddhist sect sent out more people.

There were more than 100,000 slave soldiers alone.

With a huge numerical advantage, the Taoist sect showed signs of defeat after defeating an enemy force that was three times its size.

At the moment of life and death, disciples of Dousixianmen, led by Xiahou Wei and Yan Ben from Wuji Temple, stepped forward.

Before the battle was completely defeated, they fought their way out of it and allowed Duan Zhaozhou, a disciple of the Miaoyantang of Jiaosi who had lost an arm, to successfully bring out all the information.

As the price of the failure of this battle, no one from the Taoist sect survived except Duan Zhaozhou.

A month later, in the second battle, the Taoist sect still sent out the same number of people as last time.

The Buddhists still want to use their numerical advantage to gain victory.

This time, it was Buddhism's turn that was caught off guard.

While the two sides were fighting, Jiao Si and Yue Si's ten top-level disciples worked together to perform the magic [Hundred Rivers Converge into a River].

In an instant, the surging turbid river water rushed towards the Buddhist army like ferocious cavalry at lightning speed.

In this battle, Taoism won and Buddhism was defeated. Tens of thousands of people, including Buddhist disciples, were captured.

In the third battle, the number of people sent by Taoism and Buddhism was almost the same.

The two sides fought bloody battles for three days and three nights, neither side won nor lost, and only a hundred people survived on each side.

The bear clan’s territory, the Bear Hall.

The bear statue that used to look up and roar has disappeared, and in its place there is a big hole through which you can see the bright moon.

The moonlight shines through the big hole onto the stone platform used for sacrifice in the Bear Hall.

Next to the stone platform, Qin Zhiming turned around and looked at the bewildered Xiong Lie.

"you are not willing?"

"No, no, I just..." Xiong Lie spoke incoherently.

Since the last time they killed a wolf warrior together with Qin Zhiming, the two have not been alone together.

After several years, Xiong Lie has married and had children, and his status is constantly improving.

Among young people of the same age, his fame and power are second only to Qin Zhiming and that group of people who appear and disappear mysteriously all day long.

Today, Qin Zhiming suddenly called him here and asked him to be the patriarch as soon as they met.

Xiong Lie had never thought that such a situation would happen, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Xiong Lie scratched the back of his head:
"why me?"

He didn't think that his relationship with Qin Zhiming was good enough to make jokes with each other, and Qin Zhiming was not that kind of person.

Since he said this, it proves that he really wants me to be the patriarch.

"Why can't it be you?" Qin Zhiming said with a smile.

“Among the bear tribe, you have the best talent except for me, and most of the tribe members recognize you.

Why can't you be the chief?"

"how about you?"

"Me?" Qin Zhiming stopped looking at Xiong Lie and turned to look at Haoyue.

“The tribes affiliated with the Hao clan are all fighting bravely to kill the enemy.

Only we, the bear tribe, have always stayed in our territory.

We always have to pay a corresponding price for the benefits we get from the Hao Clan, and I and those people are the price."

Qin Zhiming said this and looked at Xiong Lie again.

“Soon, our clan will receive an order from the Hao clan, and I will leave here with that group of people.

I guess I won’t come back again after leaving this time.

Father and Uncle Hao are both strong, but their ideas are too old-fashioned.

The war of gods is over, and the bear tribe is about to face a new world.

For this reason, the bear tribe needs a wise leader." Xiong Lie opened his mouth, wanted to speak, and then closed it again.

Qin Zhiming saw what he was thinking and smiled slightly.

"Are you wondering why I didn't keep a child?"

Xiong Lie, whose thoughts were exposed, nodded awkwardly.

"My engagement with Xiong Jie was annulled because of her mother's incident.

However, the elders in the clan, including my father, could see that this was just an excuse.

The bottom line is, I don’t want to get married.

There is nothing wrong with getting married and having children, but what is wrong is the consequences of this.”

"What are the consequences?" Xiong Lie frowned.

"Happiness, happiness is a trap, it cannot last forever.

Those who fall into happiness are either driven by it or become its slaves.

Either end it or fear it from now on.

I'm not saying it's bad, it's good, but I just don't like it.

It will make me feel tied down and worried.

Those are the last things I need, or at least the last things we need.”

At this moment, Xiong Lie finally understood why none of the young men, led by Qin Zhiming, married and had children?
They have never thought of staying in the Bear Clan, which is why Xiong Hao and others no longer quarrel with them over the years.

No matter how much you say, it is useless to those who are destined to leave.

"I, I don't know if I can be a good patriarch?"

Qin Zhiming's smile gradually widened as he looked into Xiong Lie's eyes.

“You have a beautiful wife and strong children.

For their sake, you will definitely try your best to be a good clan leader."

Xiong Lie was stunned. It turned out that this was the reason why Qin Zhiming chose him.

"Slaves" driven by happiness will protect the place where happiness is at all costs.

After sending Xiong Lie away, Qin Zhiming used gestures to stop the two soldiers who wanted to close the door of the Bear Hall.

"Wait a little longer, there are people coming tonight."

After a while, Xiong Kui, carrying some wine, walked into the Bear Hall.

His eyes passed through the fire pit and fell on Qin Zhiming who was smiling behind him.

For some reason, Xiong Kui suddenly felt angry.

He pointed at Qin Zhiming who was sitting cross-legged and was about to curse.

What came out of his mouth was a long sigh. Xiong Kui sat down opposite Qin Zhiming across the fire pit.

Gumbling.

After taking three big gulps of wine, Xiong Kui stared at Qin Zhiming.

"when are we leaving?"

"Father, how did you know I was leaving?" Qin Zhiming smiled.

“Humph, during this period, that group of people began to teach the tribesmen knowledge that they did not teach before.

If you didn't want to leave, why did you order those people to do this?

Also, the soldiers in the barracks told me that you gave them the battle axe and heavy armor.

You said you wanted to modify the heavy armor to my size?"

Xiong Kui became angrier and angrier as he spoke, and he took three big gulps to suppress the anger that was welling up in his heart.

"Huang, why don't you want to stay in the tribe? Have I and the tribe treated you badly?"

Qin Zhiming was silent for a moment, then said:
“Okay, but this place is too small, so small that I can’t even move my fists or feet, so I have no choice but to leave.

Father, don't worry, the knowledge those people left behind is enough to keep the bear tribe alive forever."

Xiong Kui knew that what Qin Zhiming said was true. The bottle of wine in his hand alone was worth fighting for among all the tribes.

Not to mention, there is a series of astonishing knowledge that can increase the output of grain, minerals, medicinal materials, etc.

Even a father cannot stop a person with such lofty ambitions.

What's more, as a child, Qin Zhiming's achievements have already exceeded his expectations.

Xiong Kui finished his wine, said something, and turned away.

"Spend more time with your Emu these days."
