There are too many female protagonists with deceased husbands in the Qin Dynasty's Past Books.

Even with Bai Yifei's strength, he still suffered a lot during his expedition to Baiyue, and he dared not be careless in the face of the young man known as the "Nine Nether Demon".

God knows what tricks they're up to.

"I thought General Bai would be happy to see me, after all, for the past three months, your men have been relentlessly pursuing me and have cornered me here."

Compared to Bai Yifei's cautiousness, Jiang Mo's expression was quite relaxed.

He glanced at Bai Yifei, who looked almost exactly like the anime character in his memory, his gaze lingering briefly on the two longswords beside Bai Yifei—one icy silver and the other blood red—before looking over Bai Yifei's shoulder and gazing into the distance.

Once you pass the army stationed at Xueyi Fort, you've completely left Baiyue.

There lies a wider, more prosperous world.

Unfortunately, he probably won't have the chance to see it in this instance.

Jiang Mo and Yan Lingji lingered here for nearly half a month, constantly searching for a breakthrough from various directions, but all their attempts ended in failure.

Because Bai Yifei himself was personally overseeing the situation here.

They were even willing to delay the war against the Baiyue in order to intercept the three of them.

"If Your Excellency were willing to obediently hand over the treasures of Fire Rain Manor, I, Bai, would be quite pleased."

With an absolute advantage in manpower, Bai Yifei was not worried at all about the other side stalling for time.

The longer the delay, the more troops he can mobilize, and the easier it will be to find the enemy's accomplices, whose whereabouts are unknown.

This time, we absolutely must keep all three of them here!

One could sense a hint of frustration in Bai Yifei's inner resolve. At first, he had thought that taking down the three of them would be a piece of cake.

More than a hundred days have passed, but he still hasn't gotten what he wanted.

Whether it was encirclement and interception, or ambushes and deception, Bai Yifei truly used all sorts of methods, but the other side always managed to come up with a countermeasure.

If I hadn't personally come to the border to oversee things, they probably would have escaped into South Korea.

Then it won't be so easy to act recklessly.

Originally, Bai Yifei had already located the enemy's position and was preparing to deploy troops today to surround them from all directions and launch a final all-out attack.

Unexpectedly, before the encirclement could be completed, the other side showed up on its own initiative.

Could it be that you've noticed something?

"So this is what we're looking for! It's the treasure of Fire Rain Manor. General, don't worry, I'll deliver it to you right away."

Jiang Mo smiled and strode toward Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei's blood-red eyes narrowed, and he instinctively sensed something was wrong. Before he could give an order, he raised his hand, releasing a chilling aura around him. Amidst the frost, he grabbed the spears from the soldiers beside him, transforming them into ice spears that shot through the air.

Click~

Facing the sharp ice spears hurtling towards him, Jiang Mo neither dodged nor evaded, but instead quickened his pace. Just as the ice spears were about to strike his body, a black light flashed past him, followed by the sound of ice shattering and falling.

"The general doesn't look happy at all."

In an instant, jet-black wings unfurled on Jiang Mo's back, their metallic sheen shattering the incoming ice spear with a flap of their wings.

With another strike, Jiang Mo was swept up in the lightning speed and brought before Bai Yifei.

Amidst the crisp metallic clang, two sword blades, one icy silver and the other blood red, intertwined in front of them, blocking the sharp claws slashing down from above.

"Nine Nether Demons, truly live up to their name."

With a cold gaze fixed on Jiang Mo's contorted body, Bai Yifei did not show the same horrified expression as his subordinates, but he couldn't help but utter words of considerable apprehension.

"General Bai, you flatter me. This is just the beginning!"

Feeling the unprecedented power roaring within his body, feeling the unbridled excitement emanating from the newly emerged feathered gu, Jiang Mo, like a wild beast preparing to hunt, revealed a wild and mad look in his dark eyes.

Dark flames began to emerge from its body.

Propelling Jiang Mo's aura to continuously rise, he easily broke through to the Innate Realm and showed no sign of stopping, continuing towards the higher realm that Tianze could only dream of.

In an instant, the black flames surged to the heavens!

It seemed to want to devour everything, including light.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the border, Wushuang Gui was trying to lower his body and hide his overly burly figure.

On his shoulder rested the heavy Xuan Yin coffin.

Yan Lingji was currently asleep inside, while Wushuang Gui was instructed by Jiang Mo to lead the enemy to break through the defenses and head towards the interior of South Korea.

Run as far as possible.

As for Jiang Mo, he said he would go find him later.

Wushuang Gui had no doubt about this.

Now that the opportunity has arrived, the once heavily guarded Snowcloth Fortress troops have begun to riot, with many men nervously riding their horses in one direction.

Carefully holding the Xuan Yin Coffin in front of him, Wushuang Gui charged out fiercely.

boom!

Amidst the deafening roar of the violent collision, Bai Yifei was forced to stagger backward, only managing to regain his footing by using the frost that had formed between his feet and the ground.

Jiang Mo was also sent flying backwards.

Originally, he could have used his wings to stabilize his body, but now his black wings were already tattered from countless crossbow bolts, and frost marks covered them, constantly corroding Jiang Mo's body with cold air.

These are injuries inflicted by numerous soldiers of Snowcloth Fortress.

South Korea has the smallest land area among the seven countries, but it also has its unique advantages, one of which is its strong crossbows and armor.

It's unrealistic to think you can fly away just because you can grow wings.

In mid-air, they would most likely be used as live targets and riddled with bullets.

Jiang Mo has personally verified this point.

However, even though the Snow Robe Fort's army was mainly there to support Bai Yifei and create a home-field advantage with the Frost Qi, many of them were still easily killed by Jiang Mo, leaving behind corpses everywhere.

As for the horse that Bai Yifei had been riding, it had long since been torn to pieces.

"It's almost time."

Jiang Mo, who was once again fiercely repelled by Bai Yifei, did not immediately rush forward as before. Instead, he suddenly let out a sigh of regret.

A bad feeling began to fester in my heart.

Bai Yifei, panting heavily, gripped his two swords tightly, fully on guard.

The tangible, frosty energy surged around him, causing the originally scorching summer air to condense into ever-spreading streaks of ice crystals and frost.

Pfft~

The sound of claws tearing flesh rang out, but the expected attack did not come. Bai Yifei stared in astonishment at Jiang Mo, who had slashed open his chest, and was completely unable to react to what had happened.

Could it be that the other party has truly gone completely insane?

Ignoring the stunned soldiers of Snowcloth Fortress and disregarding Bai Yifei, who posed a threat to him, Jiang Mo's gaze fell on the still-beating heart in his palm.

Thump~ Thump~

The heartbeat of another person can still be faintly felt, carrying a warmth that makes one unwilling to let go.

But Jiang Mo still raised his hand and lifted it high:

"Go, Wedding Dress Gu!"

As he murmured softly, his blood-soaked heart suddenly transformed into countless butterflies that fluttered away. Twisted black silk threads burst out of Jiang Mo's body uncontrollably, wildly dancing and twisting in an attempt to intercept the fluttering butterflies.

Seemingly aware of its impending doom, the Gu that broke free from its cocoon and transformed into feathers went completely insane and out of control.

There was also crystal-clear frost constantly condensing from the air, spreading with the cold air, trying to turn into glaciers and completely seal off this space.

Naturally, Bai Yifei, seeing that things were not going well, stepped in to intercept.

"Hey everyone, do you think I'm dead? The real show's just beginning!"

Jiang Mo chuckled softly, the light of the living gradually fading in his deep eyes.

But then, cold, black flames rose up, burning everything indiscriminately and devouring everything around them.

This includes Jiang Mo himself, who was the one who performed the spell.

Bai Yifei was slightly taken aback, staring blankly into the other person's dark and deep eyes, as if she saw a similar figure.

He stood protectively in front of everyone, sacrificing himself without hesitation...

Unreasonable!

asshole! !

The pitch-black flames raged for three days and three nights until the barefoot red-clad girl stepped into the area, at which point the sea of ​​fire that seemed intent on devouring everything in the world finally subsided.

All that remained was a thick layer of ashes.

The girl, her face devoid of its former brightness, wandered through this sea of ​​ashes, her expression one of bewilderment, as if she were lost in a dream.

Her bright, light blue eyes had also become incredibly dark.

The clumsy, big man followed behind her, looking quite helpless and completely clueless about what mistake he had made.

"Liar, you big liar..."

"Why, why do you never ask my opinion at times like this..."

After wandering around for an unknown amount of time, Yan Lingji's legs gave way, and she collapsed weakly to the ground. She slapped away Wushuang Gui's hand that tried to help her up, and all that came out of her mouth was a murmur of utter despair.

She reached out and scooped up the ashes at her feet, as if trying to hold up her entire world.

No matter how gently Yan Lingji moved, the fine ashes still drifted uncontrollably through her fingers.

Once again, the whole world turned gray and dark.

puff~

puff~

In the deathly silence, the sound of her heartbeat was incredibly clear, but she could no longer hear the ever-present accompaniment.

Within a single heart reside two Gu worms, one mother and one child.

The unprecedented crowds could not fill the emptiness.
