Chapter 215: Each One's Own Path (Part )

Wang Yao was stunned, like a forest of rocks on a hilltop, frozen in place. The unexpected background made him completely at a loss, not knowing how to respond, and he was left with only shock and disbelief.

Sima Zhongda? Sima Yi?!
Wang Yao knew that in ancient times, brothers were arranged in the order of "Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji", with Bo being the eldest and Zhong being the second. Wang Yao knew this little-known fact. But why? ! 2 Da was actually Sima Yi, who dominated the world in the late Three Kingdoms period? !

So, a month ago, Cao Cao secretly sneaked into Jingzhou and met the so-called "son of an old friend" who turned out to be 2 Da?! He went to report to Zhuge Liang that there was a spy from Wei in Jingzhou, but it turned out to be.
All the mysteries were finally solved.

And that's not the end.

"I came back to this rocky hill tonight to make a break with the past. I am leaving now."

Under Wang Yao's horrified gaze, 2 Da looked up at the bright moon and dark clouds in the starry sky, and said in a slightly sentimental voice: "I have decided that I will return to Wei to follow Cao Cao. Because I found that only that person can realize my ambitions, and he is the one who is most worthy of my following."

If 2da's previous words shocked Wang Yao, then 2da's current words directly made Wang Yao furious!

"What the hell are you talking about?! Did a donkey kick your fucking head?!"

Wang Yao was furious. He grabbed Erda by the collar and yelled, "How can you think like that! That guy kept provoking wars and killed countless of our comrades. Maomao and the others all died at his hands! And now you say you want to go back and follow that guy? Are you kidding me?!"

As a result, Wang Yao's angry condemnation attracted the incredulous gaze of Erda: "A Yao, your talent and understanding are almost all better than mine. But after so many life and death experiences, why haven't you woken up yet?"

Wang Yao was stunned.

Erda was so serious that it was even a little creepy. "In this world where the strong are respected, being born weak is a sin! As humble soldiers, the most important thing we should do is to climb up by any means necessary! Even if we have to sell our souls, we must gain that supreme power! Because only in this way can we be among the kings and then change and get rid of this powerless situation."

"I say, have you taken the wrong medicine?! Do you know how extreme your thoughts are now?! Don't forget that you are also a soldier. Anyone can look down on this profession, but you can't, because you not only insult the honor of all the soldiers, but also insult the Maomao who died in the battle!!" In the voice of shock and anger, Wang Yao suddenly realized that that night, 2da might have secretly run to the highlands of Wei State to find Cao Cao! Otherwise, how could his character suddenly change as if he was brainwashed? ! He even said such extreme remarks full of discrimination as "weakness is a kind of original sin"!

Just when Wang Yao hadn't reacted yet, 2da seemed to be touched. With red eyes, he grabbed Wang Yao's collar with his backhand, and like a wild beast, he roared hysterically with a ferocious face.

"Don't talk to me about glory! Ever since Maomao and the others died, I no longer believe in this bullshit! What do you know about you, a coward who only knows how to escape from reality?! As long as I have the power, I can change this miserable world! Change these thousands of unfair laws!
I want beautiful girls like Maomao to no longer have to die in wars, I want outstanding people like Captain Suan to have a stable family, I want brothers like Shi Liang and Xiao Ye to have a stable second half of their lives, and I want soldiers all over the continent to be free from the harm of wars and heroes! These are my lifelong wishes, and I will not hesitate to become a demon to achieve them! Because thousands of years later, history books will prove that my current decision is correct, do you understand! ! "

The night wind is cold and the moonlight is cold and silent.

Two people with different beliefs stared at each other like a thousand-year-old enemy.
"2Da, let's calm down." After a long time, Wang Yao's tone softened first, and he persuaded earnestly: "I admit that what you said makes sense, but many things are not as simple as you think. You still have a chance to turn back now, and you don't have to follow someone like Cao Cao who wants to change the world by force. On the contrary, as long as we work together, we can also change the world in a better way! Before that, we should be patient and have a comprehensive plan, otherwise one day, we will regret our recklessness! Just like what I did in the Wei Highlands six days ago."

"Haha, regret? Forbearance?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across 2da's face. "Like you? Watching Maomao and his men being slaughtered, you had equipment and weapons that could rival the heroes, but in the end you just cowered in the highlands like a stray dog?"

"You?!" Wang Yao's right eye suddenly shrank into a small dot. 2da's unexpected revelation made him at a loss for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"Do you think I don't know?" 2 Da let go of Wang Yao's collar and said coldly as he stepped back: "As early as half a year ago, when I first got your silver longbow, I noticed that your strange and rare equipment has very magical power bonuses. It is precisely because of these that you can repeatedly escape danger. Am I right? So, six days ago I went to the highlands to find you, hoping to use your power to avenge Maomao and others, but I didn't expect that the first person who jumped out to stop me would be you!"

Wang Yao gritted his teeth slightly: "But these, these all have reasons!"

"What other reasons could make you indifferent to the death of your companions?!" 2da glared at Wang Yao, then slowly regained his composure: "Enough, Ayao, I don't want to argue with you anymore. It's too late."

After a pause, 2Da faced Wang Yao and began to retreat, as if saying goodbye, and said softly: "To be honest, I don't hate you. In the final analysis, I can only blame myself for being too weak and unable to personally carry out my will. But don't forget that six days ago in the canyon, I didn't force you to go to the Wei Highlands with me, so in return, please don't try to stop me from leaving Shu today!"

After saying these words lightly, Erda looked at Wang Yao deeply, then slowly turned around and walked deeper into the darkness in the distance, step by step.

The world is dead silent, the rocks are silent
"Stop." A voice colder than the night suddenly sounded.

Under the invisible pressure, 2 Da instinctively stopped and looked back. Behind him, he saw Wang Yao with a red right eye, staring at him with terrifying momentum.

"I don't know what kind of power Cao Cao promised you, but believe me, heroes are not philanthropists. Cao Cao is probably just using you. If you still insist on not repenting, I will tie you back to Jingzhou today even if I have to use force!" Wang Yao's mind was already in chaos at this time, but he knew very well in his heart that he could not let Erda leave like this!

However, facing Wang Yao's threat and warning, Erda showed no sign of showing any reaction. He even drew out the sword from his waist with a clang.

"I know that I am no match for you now. That's the case." As he spoke, Erda threw the sword in his hand towards Wang Yao.

Click—the sharp sword rotated for a distance in the air and finally stuck upside down on the stone between the two soldiers.

Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, while Erda raised his lips slightly and said coldly: "The sword is here. If you want to stop me, you can kill me with one sword!"

"Do you think I don't dare?!" Wang Yao's expression froze, he stared at Erda, walked a few steps to the stone, and grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand.

"Haha, let's give it a try?" 2da said confidently, then he turned his back to Wang Yao without any defense and started to walk away step by step.

"Stop! Do you hear me? Don't force me to take action!" Wang Yao panicked. At this distance, he could kill Erda with just a flash!

"2da! This is the last time I'm warning you, stop!"

But
No matter how murderous his words were or how ferocious his face was, Wang Yao ultimately failed to put it into action.

His intention of pretending to threaten was actually seen through by Erda a long time ago.

The hilt of the sword in his hand seemed to weigh thousands of pounds, making it impossible for Wang Yao to pull it off the stone.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Erda, no, Sima Yi, who had become their enemy from then on, gradually walked away and finally disappeared into the thick darkness.
In the dark wilderness, Sima Yi walked alone in silence.

It is actually not an easy task to go from Shu to Wei, because all the forces and countries on the King's Continent are isolated by endless demons. It is impossible for a mere soldier to pass through the dangerous demon area.

However, this problem did not seem to be a concern for Sima Yi at all.

Just like that, he walked silently and courageously towards the border of Shu Kingdom. No one could guess his thoughts and plans.

Dark clouds slowly covered the night sky. With a loud bang, a huge lightning claw tore through the night sky, illuminating Sima Yi's indifferent face and revealing the whereabouts of three figures hidden in the darkness.

Sima Yi stopped and stared at the three men with a pair of calm eyes, as if he was not surprised at all. After a while, he said calmly: "Long time no see, generals of Wei."

In front of Sima Yi were none other than the three famous heroes of the Wei State: Zhen Ji, Xiahou Dun, and Dian Wei!
Their bodies were all more or less stained with the blood of the demons.

As the leader, Zhen Ji took the initiative to step forward, bowed slightly and said: "Master Sima, we are here on the orders of the King of Wei to welcome you back to the country."

Sima Yi nodded slightly: "You have waited for me for a whole day and night. Thank you for your hard work."

"Uh, how do you know we've been waiting here for a day?" Zhen Ji asked with some confusion.

"It will take about five days to break through the demon zone from Wei to Shu." As Sima Yi spoke lightly, he had already bypassed Zhen Ji and the other two and took the lead in going deeper into the demon zone.

Although Sima Yi did not directly respond to Cao Cao's invitation when he was on the Wei highlands six days ago, he was very sharp-minded and knew very well that Cao Cao must have determined that he would return to Wei and arranged for heroes to cross the demon land to pick him up in advance.

Cao Cao, this heroic figure, was generally very accurate in judging people and predicting things, and he was also very conceited.

Perhaps it is true as Wang Yao said, Cao Cao is just using him.

but
Amid the rumbling thunder and the shining lightning, Sima Yi's mouth corners rose silently, and from an angle where no one noticed, he chuckled wickedly.

Since ancient times, people have been too clever for their own good. Who is using whom? This is still unknown.
And behind.

Xiahou Dun suddenly raised his elbow and poked Dian Wei's arm: "Old Dian, this guy seems to be a bit arrogant. Do you think I should take this opportunity to give him a warning? And also test his strength?"

Dian Wei, holding a huge axe, stared at the back of the soldier walking in front with his bloodshot eyes under the golden mask, and shook his head slightly.

"It's better not to. I can feel that he is just an ordinary soldier now. If I accidentally hurt him, it will be difficult to explain to King Wei when I return. However, if you are interested, you can wait until he inherits the name of 'Heart of Nirvana' in the future, and then fight him a few times."
