My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield Novel - Chapter 219
Chapter 219: Drawing A Clear Line Between Physical Love
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the crowd, Su Wen continued to kill.
The victim’s blood and Qi was also continuously absorbed by Die Yi.
Su Wen could feel the joy emanating from Die Yi.
Meanwhile, the blood and Qi absorbed by the butterfly robe was actually helping Su Wen recover his stamina.
Although it could not help Su Wen recover his True Qi, the large amount of Blood Qi entering his body made Su Wen feel that his physical stamina was extremely sufficient!
If this continued, he could fight for as long as he wanted.
This was something that he did not discover during his battle with the Third Prince’s goons.
There were fewer people killed that time, so it was not obvious.
But this time, too many people died.
The soldiers continued to charge forward and die to his hands.
No one knew when Su Wen would suddenly lose strength and fall, thus they could only listen to orders and continue charging.
The soldiers only had the option of being killed by their superiors or by Su Wen.
They were caught between a rock and a hard place, tragic and helpless!
Bang!
Su Wen punched another person in the chest.
The final despair in that person’s eyes was still there even as he fell.
Su Wen could already sense that the experts were afraid!
They had started to scheme against themselves, hoping that it would be someone that would go and face off against Su Wen instead.
As for the soldiers, they could only charge forward with despair in their hearts.
They had no choice.
If they did not charge, they would still die!
However, this despair could provide Su Wen with a large amount of Emotional Value.
More and more corpses appeared in front of the palace hall
Yet, no one could take a step forward.
Seeing that there were still many people in front of him, a sharp glint flashed across Su Wen’s eyes!
As if sensing Su Wen’s thoughts, a pair of huge wings of fire suddenly unfurled behind the butterfly armor.
The wings flapped and brought Su Wen up high.
Su Wen stretched out his right hand in the air.
A large amount of fire elemental energy began to flow based on his will.
Nine Glorious Raging Flames Fist — Concentrating Flame, Forming Sun!
In the sky, the flames in Su Wen’s hands became more and more condensed, emitting an extremely bright light.
The temperature also increased. Even the people on the ground could clearly feel the scorching heat above them.
Everyone was sweating! It was too hot. It was clearly night, and Su Wen was furthermore far away.
Countless holy flames surged into the palm of his hand, making him look as though he was holding onto a miniature sun!
“Beat him up!”
A shout could be heard.
Countless attacks flew towards Su Wen!
But it was useless.
Under the protection of Die Yi, Su Wen was completely unharmed. Furthermore, many of his attacks were directly incinerated by the scorching sun in Su Wen’s hand.
From afar, the air around Su Wen was distorted by the high temperature.
However, he was not affected at all.
In the hall, Xiang Ding looked at Su Wen in the sky and muttered to himself, “This guy… is too terrifying. He’s not even at the Heaven Rank, yet he can unleash such power…”
Su Wen’s True Qi continued to flow into his palm as if he had an unlimited amount of it.
In reality, this was a Heaven Rank martial technique. Thus, generally speaking, only those at the Heaven Rank could unleash its full power.
However, Su Wen relied on his Vermilion Bird bloodline and the extremely powerful True Qi in his body to unleash a portion of its terrifying might.
A head-sized sun made purely out of holy flames spun rapidly under Su Wen’s palm.
He continuously absorbed the fire elemental energy between heaven and earth.
The entire palace, wherever it could be illuminated, was as bright as day!
On the highest roof of the palace…
The few of them looked at Su Wen from afar.
One of them said, “This brat is too terrifying. I really want to kill him!”
“That’s right… I’ve never seen anyone unleash such a powerful attack at the Earth Rank.”
“Hehe, Xiang Ding won’t let you do it.”
“A pity…”
These bunch were all Heaven Rank experts from the Great Chu Palace.
Even they could not help but sigh at how terrifying Su Wen was.
In the sky, Su Wen panted heavily as he grinned.
“Great Solar Celestial Sun Divide!”
That’s right, gathering flames to form the sun was only the first half of this move!
Finally, it was to strike down and use the sun to divide the world!
He raised the bright sun in his hands up high.
Looking at the dense crowd below…
He slashed down with all his might!
Whoosh!
The sun seemed to have disappeared in an instant.
The world suddenly fell into darkness.
The moment the blinding light disappeared, the people could not see anything clearly.
However!
The next second… kaboom!
A flaming purgatory! A world of destruction appeared!
Over 10,000 people below were immediately engulfed by the flames.
Many people were unable to even scream before being burned to death.
This time, there was no fragrance of meat, no charcoal, nothing.
The temperature of the flames had reached an extremity!
Not to mention corpses, even their bones were completely incinerated by the flames.
Just as Su Wen flew up to gather his Qi, Xiang Chun was pulled back by the 9th Grade Earth Rank expert beside him.
When this attack was sent out…
Xiang Chun was dumbfounded.
He was afraid!
He was truly afraid this time.
Su Wen, who was flying in the air, was like a god that controlled everything.
He gazed down coldly at the world!
“A Heaven Rank expert, a Heaven Rank expert! Father, are you crazy? You even let a Heaven Rank expert participate in the competition?” Xiang Chun muttered.
The flames slowly dissipated.
The army had been routed!
With a single strike, ten thousand people were exterminated!
No one dared to charge anymore.
“Run!”
“F*ck you! I don’t want to fight anymore!”
“Get lost! Why are you running so slowly! Are you waiting for death!”
No one dared to stay.
“Stop right there! Who dares to run, I’ll kill them!” Su Wen shouted.
Everyone stopped.
Su Wen’s might was akin to that of a devil right now.
Even if this attack had almost exhausted all of his True Qi…
No one dared to disobey him!
Fear. Everyone present only felt fear.
Even those 9th Grade Earth Rank experts had lost all their courage.
If one were to say that they were still thinking of relying on their companions to go first, then now, they had completely lost their will to fight.
In the hall, Xiang Sheng’s jaw dropped.
The scene in front of him had turned into a vast plain. Under Su Wen’s strike, the various walls of the palace had been disintegrated, and with the impact caused by the corresponding Qi force, it was as though this place was a prairie!
After Su Wen shouted, the entire area turned silent. Many people didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
Su Wen descended from the sky and walked forward slowly, step by step.
Everyone was like terracotta soldiers, remaining rooted to their original positions.
In that area, only Su Wen’s footsteps coldly echoed in the ears of everybody present.
His Emotional Value rose crazily.
No one knew what Su Wen wanted to do…
However, everyone’s fear for Su Wen had already reached an extremely high level.
Including Xiang Chun, he said to the 9th Grade Earth Rank expert beside him in a deep voice, “Take me and escape!”
That person said with a bitter expression, “Your Highness, that won’t do. That fellow said that whoever runs will be killed! Look, no one else has run. Wouldn’t I be courting death if I bring you along?”
“F*ck…”
Xiang Chun was at a loss for words.
Su Wen did not seem to be fast, but every step he took was extremely far. In reality, his speed was not slow at all.
In a few moment, he had already arrived in front of Xiang Chun.
“Kid, what did you say just now? You guys will drown me with your spit?”
Su Wen smiled. “I’m standing right in front of you. Come, spit one out for me to see…”
Xiang Chun squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
“Brother-in-law! It’s a misunderstanding! A pure misunderstanding! I was blinded by greed just now. I swear to you, I definitely have no objections to Big Sister inheriting the throne.”
“You really have no objections?”
“I really didn’t! Brother-in-law, believe me.” Xiang Chun swore.
This fellow kept calling him brother-in-law, and he sounded more intimate than anyone else right now.
He smiled apologetically and said, “Brother-in-law, we’re family. In the end, whoever becomes the emperor doesn’t matter. Even if Brother-in-law wants to become the emperor, I’ll support you!”
“But I know that my Brother-in-law is good to my sister, so I definitely won’t compete with her. How about this, Brother-in-law? I’ve got two foreign dancers there. They have fair skin, golden hair, and blue eyes, and they’re extremely beautiful. I’ll send them up to your residence when I return later. When Sister goes to court, you can still have some fun too.”
Su Wen’s face was full of smiles as he patted his shoulder. “Not bad, little brother. You really know how to do things.”
Seeing that Su Wen seemed to be moved by his words, the Fourth Prince finally sighed in relief.
“Take your men and stand by the side!”
“Yes!”
Xiang Chun roared, “The rebel army has been wiped out just now. My brother-in-law said that all of you are to wait at the side and protect the new emperor. I will spare your lives!”
After saying that, he looked at Su Wen and smiled flatteringly. “Brother-in-law, how was it?”
“Great!”
Su Wen turned around and sat back in front of the hall.
At the side, the remaining tens of thousands of people stood together. No one dared to say a word.
On the other side, the Third Prince had already noticed the commotion in the palace.
He was a little slower in gathering people compared to the Fourth Prince, as during this time, many of the ministers had started to discuss his new appearance behind his back.
The Third Prince’s change had become the laughing stock of many.
Many people were now unwilling to work for him.
However, he still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Back then, he had done a good job of winning over the hearts of others, and had personally persuaded many people.
He dragged his former subordinates to the palace forcefully.
He screamed, “Did you see that? The battle in the palace is extremely intense. We can just go over and reap the benefits. I will ascend to the throne, and all of you will be the main contributors. After tonight, I will confer the title of Marquis to the person who makes the most contributions. Kill!”
Although he was very far away, Su Wen’s moves were too obvious in the dark.
At this moment, the night had fallen silent. In the Third Prince’s opinion, the victor had already been decided.
In his estimation, even if Su Wen was very strong, extremely valiant…
Against an army of tens of thousands, he would not have a chance to win!
“Fourth Brother! I didn’t expect that it would still be us brothers competing in the end!”
The Third Prince’s eyes flashed sharply as he led a large group of people into the palace.
He headed straight for the Bright Harmony Hall.
At this moment, Su Wen was sitting at the entrance of the Hall. Old Four was squatting by the side, and the two of them were chatting.
“Brother-in-law, you don’t know? This Great Chu Harmonious Red House is quite famous. There are quite a few top courtesans residing within, and their looks can even compare to my sister…”
Pa!
Xiang Feiyan appeared behind him and slapped him.
“What are you mumbling about?” She frowned and widened her eyes.
At first, she was still listening to Xiang Chun and Su Wen bragging, but the more she listened, the more she could not bear to listen.
Su Wen’s expression turned stiff. “What are you doing? Little brother is introducing me to the culture of the capital. Why are you doing this?”
“Hmph!” Xiang Feiyan rolled her eyes. “But he can’t compare me to those women…”
Su Wen turned to look at Xiang Chun and reprimanded him, “You brat, let me tell you, the next time you talk about beauties, why do you have to compare them? Is it interesting? With your sister’s status as Great Empress Chu, is there anyone else in the world who can compare to her?”
Xiang Feiyan was overjoyed when she heard this. She squatted down and whispered into Su Wen’s ear, “Don’t worry, even with my status, you will be the only one in the future…”
The mouthful of dog food being fed to him made Xiang Chun feel disgusted.
‘Hehe…’
Su Wen listened but only smiled in response… You can’t believe everything a woman says.
Just like how Su Wen was also bluffing Xiang Feiyan just now.
At this moment, a large group of people appeared once more, led by the Third Prince.
He led his men to rush over.
However, when he saw the three of them behaving like this, he was stunned.
What was going on?
I’m here to pick up the scraps, but the three of you are holding hands with each other?
Upon seeing the Third Prince, Xiang Chun was the first to stand up.
“Third Sister, why are you here? Royal Father has issued a decree that only the princes and the Eldest Princess can come!” The Fourth Prince scolded sternly.
Obviously, this fellow had already removed the Third Prince from the list.
The Third Prince was furious. “Xiang Chun, if you dare call me Third Sister again, I’ll f*cking kill you!”
How could Xiang Chun be afraid of him at this moment? He retorted, “Hehe, look at you. If you’re not the Third Sister, then what are you? If you have the guts, take off your top and be naked!”
The Third Prince stiffened at his words.
Ever since the two lumps of flesh on his chest became larger, he really did not have the courage to be naked in front of others!
However, the Third Prince was a smart person. One look at Xiang Chun’s boot-licking expression and he knew that this fellow had definitely been beaten into submission.
Looking around, he saw that there were traces of fire everywhere. The area was charred pitch black.
The corpses had already been burnt to ashes, making the area look clean in contrast.
What should he do? How should he change his plans?
Attack?
The Third Prince hesitated.
At this moment, he noticed Xiang Chun’s remaining troops.
Looking around, the remaining people were not much fewer than his own!
As his thoughts raced, the Third Prince screamed, “I heard that Big Sister is here. I was afraid that someone would have evil intentions, so I came to protect her!”
The people behind the Third Prince were dumbfounded.
That was not what he said outside…
However, no one dared to refute.
Xiang Feiyan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
If the Third Prince did not make a move, it was a surefire thing for her to succeed!
Su Wen smiled. The competition for the throne was finally over!
He did not kill the Third and Fourth Prince in the end.
From his point of view, the methods and schemes of these two could be said to be not bad. If they entered the royal court, it would be easier to cause chaos from within.
In the end, Su Wen was not a person from Chu.
Furthermore, once Xiang Feiyan ascended the throne, it meant that Su Wen’s control over her might decrease. If the situation in the royal court was too stable, it was not something Su Wen wanted to see.
Chaos… only then would Su Wen have the chance to display his abilities, allowing Xiang Feiyan to rely on him.
At the same time, he could encourage Xiang Feiyan to send troops to attack the Yan Country.
Only then would the pressure on Great Zhou truly be reduced.
As for the Chu Country, Su Wen had never treated it as his own country.
In the end, he was here to be a spy.
Just because there was no conflict of interest between the two countries did not mean that it would remain the same in the future.
If there really came a day when the Zhou and Chu Empires fought…
Which side was Su Wen on?
Hence, from the beginning to the end, Su Wen did not invest any feelings even in Xiang Feiyan.
He couldn’t possibly put this woman before all the women in his own house after sleeping with Xiang Feiyan for a few nights, right?
It was impossible for him to place her in front of his parents and friends as well.
Su Wen was someone who drew the boundary between physical love very clearly.
Hence, Su Wen wanted to see the chaos in the royal court of Chu.
The sky gradually brightened.
The Third Prince came and sat beside Su Wen.
He pleaded, “Mister Su, look, now that Eldest Sister is about to ascend the throne, and I’m also convinced, can’t you help me return to normal?”
Xiang Chun smiled in response. “Third Sister, I think you’re really pretty now!”
“Scram!” The Third Prince glared at Xiang Chun.
He wished he could pull out his saber and kill this bastard.
The two of them had been fighting for many years. Seeing the Third Prince like this, Xiang Chun couldn’t help but gloat.
Unfortunately, Su Wen shook his head. “No, I really can’t do it…”
This was not a lie.
Seeing that there was no chance for them to seize the throne, Xiang Chun and the Third Prince also gave the order for the troops to return to their original positions.
Xiang Feiyan also took the opportunity to call Su Wen in.
He asked in a low voice, “Daqiang, do you think we should kill these two people? They’re the ones who fought with me for the throne!”
Su Wen smiled. “Why should we kill them? Although they have conflicts with us, once you ascend to the throne, all of the Great Chu Heaven Rank experts will be under your control. Even if these two have extraordinary abilities, can they defy the heavens? Won’t they still have to listen to your orders obediently?”
Seeing that Xiang Feiyan was a little hesitant, Su Wen continued to fool her. “Think about it, how many people in the royal court support you? The matter between you and me has spread throughout the capital. So many people know about it, and you also know the nature of those scholars. They are all very pretentious. You are a woman, and you are somewhat involved with me… am I right? Can they feel comfortable?”
“When you go to the royal court, everyone will be sarcastic to you. You can’t kill them all, right?”
“In this court, we have to have some people on our side!”
“These two people originally have some power in the royal court, and they’re also descendants of the royal family. Doesn’t that mean they have their own people that we can leech on?”
Xiang Feiyan pouted and said, “But I want you to be the prime minister. Won’t you have your own people then?”
“Hehe!” Su Wen laughed coldly to himself.
Do you really think I’m a free labor force? Not only do I have to work at night, but I also have to work during the day?
Ever since he was young, he had seen his father handling government affairs like a corporate slave in a multi national corporation. Su Wen did not have any thoughts about this position.
Su Wen laughed loudly. “Haha! I don’t want to be the prime minister. Just give me a title of Prince or King and I’ll wander around the capital. Isn’t that great? I’ll leave the government affairs to you.”
Xiang Feiyan was a little disappointed. “Then won’t you suffer a loss then?”
Su Wen said with a smile, “Furthermore, isn’t that Zhang Yong doing quite well now? Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you’ve become the emperor? If you replace me, the officials below will only comply with you while secretly opposing you.
I’ll still have to think of a way to deal with them one by one. Furthermore, I’m someone who can only come up with ideas. If I really have to handle government affairs, that would be a mess. Don’t tell me you think I know everything?”
Su Wen suddenly put on a wretched smile on his face. “If you really feel bad about this, then give me the title of General and transfer me to a company with thousands of beautiful female soldiers.”
“Screw you! Aren’t you afraid of dying from exhaustion?” Xiang Feiyan would definitely not agree to this condition.
Another day passed and night arrived…
It was finally time.
Xiang Ding said loudly, “The Great Chu Emperor, Xiang Feiyan, has succeeded the throne. May my Great Chu prosper for eternity! May it exist forever in the world!”
A loud shout resounded through the capital.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone, including the officials, had seen that the fighting within the palace was so intense that no one dared to enter.
Now that they heard that Xiang Feiyan had succeeded the throne, all of them were shocked.
This was the first female emperor of Great Chu!
Furthermore, compared to the Crown Prince, the Third Prince, and the others, Xiang Feiyan was nothing special.
Now, she had actually defied the heavens and ascended to the throne, becoming the first female emperor of the country!
