Chapter 331 Lies and Jokes

But what was strange was that in the face of Wang Yao's remarks that could directly threaten the existence of Jixia Academy, the old man and the black and white chess players present remained silent.

What’s even more terrifying is that even the soldiers of Shu Kingdom fell silent!

The entire high ground was eerily quiet. Only Wang Yao, who was completely unaware, was left making angry condemnations.

"That's right, soldiers can't become heroes. Those who can become heroes have actually already been selected by Jixia Academy, that is, the so-called 22 descendants of the Alka family! All of this is just a lie of Jixia Academy, just to make you willingly step into this canyon battlefield! Do you know why? For energy crystals! A special energy extracted from the earth, and in the process, a large amount of life energy is needed as a driving force. These life energies are your lives! Letting you enter the canyon battlefield is just to take your life. There has never been any so-called glory. You have just been deceived!"

"Shut up now, you rude bastard!!"

Suddenly, a rough roar interrupted Wang Yao's angry accusation without warning.

But he was not from Jixia Academy, but a soldier!
Wang Yao was stunned.

He slowly turned his head, like an old man, and looked at the crowd with difficulty, where a strange old soldier was staring at him with hatred.

The old soldier roared at Wang Yao with a nearly broken voice, "You damned demon remnant, you are about to die, and you still dare to slander our great sage?! Do you know who this lord is? Would this lord lie to us? Stop slandering me!!"

The old soldier was extremely angry. He glared at Wang Yao as if Wang Yao and he had a blood feud!
Before Wang Yao could react, some soldiers began to agree.

"Yes, that's right! Don't be fooled by him. Demon kings are evil creatures. History books say that they are the best at bewitching people!"

"How could the glory and dreams of us soldiers be fake?!"

"That was all made up!"

“I almost got cheated!”

There was a lot of abuse, and at this moment, everyone was pointing fingers at him!!

Wang Yao was completely confused.

This reversal was really beyond his expectations. He would never have thought that the one who refuted him was not the Old Master, but the soldiers whose existence he had been trying so hard to maintain!

Why? Why? !

There is no doubt that Wang Yao did not know the veteran who took the lead in the attack, so it was difficult to imagine why the veteran behaved in this way.

Until.

When Wang Yao saw the countless pairs of eyes filled with fear and hostility behind the old soldier, he suddenly seemed to understand something.

Soldiers, are you afraid of "reality"?
I am afraid that the ideals I have persisted for so many years will be shattered, and that all the efforts I have made in my lifetime will eventually become a lie and a joke! Just like a person who is full of passion and ambition to fight for his ideals will hate those who pour cold water on him.
People always like to defend the things they are willing to hear and eager to see, and call them "correct" and "facts", so is that why the soldiers are unwilling to believe Wang Yao's words?
It's extremely ridiculous and ironic!
Under the impact of waves of dizziness, Wang Yao staggered back a few steps uncontrollably. He looked at the soldiers in disbelief.

Facts have proved that the truth that people insist on pursuing is often the cruelest, but Wang Yao never thought that the fearless soldiers would be so fragile in front of the cruel truth that they would choose to face reality by escaping!

Almost at the same time, when Wang Yao was in a trance due to the blow he suffered, a strong wind pressure suddenly hit him from behind!
"Give Senior Brother Xiang's fire back!"

Accompanied by a low and broken shout, Zhong Wuyan, who had been unable to bear it any longer, suddenly attacked. She swung the huge square hammer in her hand and smashed it hard at Wang Yao!

“?!!” At the critical moment, Wang Yao instinctively turned around and crossed his hands in front of him.

Bang! !

In the violent explosion of sparks, under the huge impact of the overwhelming force, Wang Yao flew backwards directly, and only stopped when he fell to the ground and drew a long ditch! For a moment, debris was flying!
This was the most serious physical and mental injury Wang Yao had ever suffered since coming to this world.

After the desperate battle with Cao Cao, Wang Yao was already covered in wounds, and his heroic form was broken by Old Master's punch, so in fact, he was able to withstand Zhong Wuyan's heavy hammer entirely by relying on his flesh and blood!

pop-

Wang Yao, whose body was already covered in blood, stretched out his hands tremblingly, trying to get up. However, as soon as he exerted force, when the air poured into his damaged lungs, his throat felt sweet and he couldn't help vomiting a large mouthful of blood!

He fell to his knees on the ground, even breathing was extremely painful!
Is that the end?

Wang Yao raised his head extremely weakly and looked up at the soldiers around him. They were all looking at him, but no one was willing to come up and help him.

There was a female magic soldier who seemed to be unable to bear to watch this. She wanted to come forward to help Wang Yao, but was stopped by her companions.

"Don't go there!"

"He is the offspring of the devil, an evil being. We don't know if he has really been fatally injured. He might take the opportunity to capture you and threaten us!"

"Isn't that too much? He even led us to defeat the Wu Kingdom before!"

"That's not credible either."

"After all, demons are evil beings that are not allowed to exist." Listening to the conversation between the soldiers, Wang Yao finally gave up and lowered his head.

"Hehe." He couldn't help but laughed miserably.

Even though he had faced countless powerful enemies and desperate situations, Wang Yao had never felt so powerless!

It was not until this moment that Wang Yao finally realized that he was wrong. No, he did not think that the path he chose was wrong, but he was wrong in overestimating the ideological development of the soldiers, and he was wrong in an outrageous way!
Lao Fuzi might be afraid that some heroes with a "rebellious spirit" would know the truth, but he is not afraid that the soldiers would know it!

The cultural heritage of a world that has existed for thousands of years is unimaginably deep-rooted.

How could the myth that "a soldier can become a hero" that has been passed down through generations and has continued to this day be dispelled by Wang Yao's words? Superstition and feudalism can last for five thousand years on Earth, let alone in this alien world where gods clearly exist? It's like the ancients believed in the "flat earth theory", and you, a 21st century youth who traveled through time, how can you convince the ancients that "the earth is round" when the technological conditions do not allow it?
It is not possible, or rather, it cannot be accomplished in a day or two.

For the soldiers, "entering the canyon battlefield to fight to become a hero" has long been a tradition in this world, and the soldiers also yearn to be heroes, to be second to none and above everyone else. For this desire, they are even willing to bet their lives!
Therefore, Xiaobing will not allow anyone to question this tradition of "being able to become a hero". If anyone questions it, he is considered to be someone who is against the secular world and tradition. Even if such a person is right, he will be hated and become the target of public criticism!
After all, human beings are such an ignorant and superficial species. So, is that why the old man said that the soldiers are not worth saving at all?
pat pat
There are footsteps approaching.

Wang Yao didn't even need to look up to know that it was Zhong Wuyan who came to claim his life. There was no doubt that in his current state, another blow from Zhong Wuyan would be enough to kill him!

Is he going to die here?
As he gradually lost consciousness, Wang Yao suddenly began to have three philosophical questions: the old man said so confidently that he was the son of Emperor Jun, so who was he? Why did he come to this world? What was the meaning of his existence?
He remembered the shock he felt when he first came to this strange world, the first time he saw the magnificence of the canyon, the feeling of his first murder, and the first time he met that pitiful girl.

Luna
"Woo!!"

Suddenly, Wang Yao began to exert force.

Although he knew that there was no escape, Wang Yao still gritted his teeth and began to work hard to climb out of this terrible heights.

He still doesn't want to die!

When the girl's sweet smile suddenly emerged in his mind, Wang Yao, who was originally dying, suddenly found strength from nowhere and slowly crawled out of the high ground on the ground.

Moving inch by inch, inch by inch.

A long and shocking trail of blood was left behind him, and there, Zhong Wuyan was like a poisonous snake, approaching him slowly step by step.

until—

Ka!

The combat boots with metal plates stomped hard on Wang Yao's back, like a sharp nail, fixing him in place.

With one foot on Wang Yao, Zhong Wuyan looked down at him from above with a look of cold disgust.

"Don't struggle. We won't let an outlier like you stay in this world. Even if you run to the ends of the earth, we will catch you, just like Brother Xiang Yu!"

With a voice devoid of emotion, Zhong Wuyan swung the huge hammer in her hand high up. In an instant, the heaven and earth shook, and air surged!

This powerful blow was enough to end Wang Yao’s dying health.

Wang Yao is about to die. After all, in this high ground that has been completely targeted, who can save him?
Countless soldiers stared with their eyes wide open, facing the bloody scene that was about to happen before their eyes, but they did nothing.

hiss!
Suddenly, a sudden change occurred!
Between the lightning and the flames, a strange black ghost fire started burning without any warning!

"??!!"

Everyone in Jixia Academy changed their expressions because of this sudden change.

With Wang Yao as the center, a black circular matrix with a four-pointed star drawn on it suddenly appeared! Endless blue light flickered in it, as bright as a leaking electrical box.

Then——

In the blink of an eye, a ghostly figure as fast as lightning broke through the air!

[Death is coming]!
Bang, hiss!!
Amid the subtle sound of flesh tearing, the defenseless Zhong Wuyan was unexpectedly "penetrated" by the ghost. In an instant, several scratches from sharp objects appeared on her black and white clothes.

"Huh?!!" Zhong Wuyan fell to her knees as if she had been hit hard. The huge square hammer in her hand fell to the ground. The weight of hundreds of kilograms directly cracked the stone slab on the ground.

Looking down, Zhong Wuyan was shocked to find that two knife scars deep enough to see the bone had appeared on her thighs!
"Who is it? How dare you stop Black and White from doing his job?!" She looked forward angrily.

In the mysterious black fog, a tall and cold man wearing a white high-necked gown appeared, as if he had walked out of an ink painting!

When Wang Yao saw the face of the person who came clearly, he lowered his head silently to hide the momentary warmth in his eyes.

It turns out that he is not reduced to fighting alone.
Sima Yi!
This comrade who had once shared life and death with him, that close friend with whom he had parted ways due to divergent beliefs, now resolutely stood in front of Wang Yao!
Behind the pitch-black and sharp sickle, beneath the long black hair, was revealed a pair of scarlet blood eyes full of hostility and determination!
"Anyone who dares to touch a hair on his head will have to step over Sima Yi's dead body first!"
