Chapter 329 Supporting Troops

Who is the strongest in the world? Among the billions of living beings, is there really such a thing as the unrivaled one?
Anyway, Wang Yao didn’t believe it before.

No matter how high the defense is, it can't reach the sky; no matter how thick the health is, it can't reach the ground. Even heroes have a limit to their strength. The strongest is only level 15 and full proficiency, right? How can there be a peerless one who is above the crowd?

Just like the competitive game King of Glory, even if the national server is the strongest with excellent skills, it would not dare to say that it is the best in the world and no one can surpass it, right? The waves behind push the waves ahead, there are always latecomers who surpass the old ones, and there are always even better ones who block the way in front.

This is the common sense law of everything, isn't it?
However, it turned out that Wang Yao was wrong.

In this world, there really is an ultimate peak, a strongest that cannot be surpassed.

For example, the leader of the three giants of Jixia Academy - Wan Gu Chang Ming.

Just as shown in the background information, his strength is like a frozen snow mountain, like the Tower of Babel that reaches into the clouds, and like the Ninth Heaven with no peak in sight!
In front of him, no matter how much equipment you have, it will be of no avail, because the gap is too huge. This gap cannot be made up by external equipment or talent alone. It is so big that it transcends the shackles of the laws of all things and is so strong that it makes people feel despair and suffocation!
"cough!!"

Amidst a cough that sounded like choking on water, a large mouthful of thick blood sprayed onto the ground, shocking the sight.

Debris rolled down, and Wang Yao, with blood all over his face, supported himself with two trembling arms. He used the last bit of his strength and stood up staggeringly.

His eyes were filled with bright red bloodshot due to congestion, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably due to the massive loss of vitality. Even his vision was a little blurry due to the severe impact on his brain.

Lao Fuzi's punch not only broke Wang Yao's heroic form, but also completely destroyed his entire combat capability from the root!
But even so, Wang Yao still stood up stubbornly. Although he felt as if his whole body was cut into pieces just because of this action, he still gritted his teeth and stood in front of Wan Gu Chang Ming again.

Although his eyes have faded, the determination has not disappeared!
"Why? There is no way you can be my opponent. Why do you still want to stand up? What are you insisting on?" The old man asked coldly. He knew that Wang Yao was just holding on by willpower at this time, because he knew that this "oddity" in front of him actually had most of the bones in his body broken.

Wang Yao’s life is indeed hanging by a thread.

He was in great pain, his consciousness was blurred, seven or eight ribs on both sides of his chest were broken, and his heart felt like it was about to burst. With every breath he felt waves of excruciating pain!
But he still insisted: "Because I firmly believe that the path I insist on is correct!"

Intermittent words, accompanied by a lot of blood foam, came out firmly from Wang Yao's mouth.

The old man was silent.

Such a stubborn and strong appearance, how similar is it to Xiang Yu, the disciple he once had high hopes for?
Staring at the bloody Wang Yao, a strange warmth gradually emerged in the old man's eyes that were devoid of any emotion.

He naturally knew what path Wang Yao was referring to. It was kindness, unyieldingness, and justice! But...
What's the point? Wouldn't it be easier to just accept my fate? Why should I bear these meaningless responsibilities? What does the so-called noble sentiment count for when it comes to the survival of the world and mankind?
The old man raised his head, looking towards the gloomy western sky intentionally or unintentionally.

The time is almost up.

Then——

"Unfortunately."

The eyes of the eternal and bright eyes turned into incomparable indifference again: "Right or wrong, it has never been the standard for us heroes to act."

After saying that, he reached behind his back and took off the bright weapon on his back.
However, almost at the same time.

Click, click, click, click—

The uniform sound of iron boots tapping the ground suddenly and without warning rang out from deep within the high ground.

The azure blue tide slowly appeared from far to near; the military line was refreshed!

Perhaps the news of the victory over Wei was delayed, and the rear areas did not know that the fighting at the front had stopped, and were still sending troops to prepare for support.

Wang Yao was slightly stunned by this. He didn't expect that the troops would enter the canyon at this time, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope also appeared in his eyes. Perhaps, this will be a turning point? Even if Wan Gu Chang Ming is so arbitrary, he should still be concerned about the pressure of public opinion, right?

The six black and white chess players present all frowned slightly at this moment. After all, they did not want too many people to know about this "execution". In fact, even Liu Bei, the lord of Shu, was unaware of this matter.

Of course, the most surprised people present were the soldiers who saw this scene as soon as they entered the canyon battlefield.

"Eh? What is the Overseer doing here?"

"What's going on? Who are those guys in black and white?"

"Hey, our commander seems to be injured!"

"Is he injured? Was he beaten by those guys?!"

"Damn it, you even dare to bully our warlord?!"

"Shit! Guys, help!"

Seeing Wang Yao trapped in his own high ground with blood all over his body, the Shu soldiers were stunned. Then, they shouted in indignation, drew their swords angrily, and formed an iron barrel formation to slowly surround him.

The situation is about to break out!
Three lines of troops, three armies, and three thousand people's gazes were immediately directed towards the people of Jixia Academy with murderous intent, as if they were ready to beat them up if they disagreed with them!
After all, Wang Yao has taken over the post of commander-in-chief for nearly a year. At a young age, he has made many outstanding achievements and has led three lines of troops to achieve brilliant results of various sizes. Therefore, his prestige and popularity in the Shu army have always been very high. Not only that, to this day, Wang Yao's legendary resume has long been spread throughout Jingzhou, and people talk about it with relish after dinner. The older generation of soldiers in the legion admire him very much, and the young soldiers have always regarded him as an idol and benchmark.

Now that the idol has been made so miserable by a group of guys of unknown origin, how can the soldiers bear it?

result--

Faced with the indignant Shu army, the people of the Jixia Academy remained indifferent after a brief silence.

Killing people is a common thing for the black and white chess that specializes in hunting heroes. How difficult is it to kill three thousand soldiers? Especially when the old man saw the light in Wang Yao's eyes, he shook his head silently.

"There must be something hateful about pitiful people. I said before that these soldiers are not worth saving. Now let me tell you one of the reasons."

The old man leaned close to Wang Yao's ear and whispered in the coldest tone in the world: "Because they are fickle, ignorant, and stupid!"

Wang Yao's brows were deeply furrowed.

Then the old master turned around and faced the soldiers, and said in a very loud voice: "Soldiers of Shu, you have worked hard to defend this piece of land. I am the eternal light of Jixia Academy."

Because of what the old man said, the crowd that was excited a second ago suddenly quieted down, and then three seconds later, they were in an uproar again!

"Tiantian!! Forever bright?!"

"Wait, he... he... no, this old man, is he one of the three sages of the legendary Jixia Academy, the Eternal Ming?!"

"The great sage who leads the heroes of the entire continent?!"

"So, are the other six also from Jixia Academy?!"

Along with the fanatical exclamations, the hostility disappeared all at once.
