Chapter 302: Overcoming the Soul Saint and Arriving at Tiger Stone Pass
That was a red, red, red Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring...
Sun Yu not only broke through to Spirit Emperor within these three years, but he even used a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring as his sixth spirit ring?!
Looking at the Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring beneath Sun Yu's feet, everyone present, except for Xue Qinghe, showed expressions of horror.
That was a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring!!
Even though they were high-ranking members of the Imperial family, they had only heard of the most precious Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring on the entire continent; they had never had the chance to see one.
Yet now, they actually saw one on Sun Yu, who was merely a Spirit Emperor....
"Dong!!"
As the spirit ring appeared, Sun Yu, holding the Frost Flame Ruyi Staff with its barrel covered in blood-white patterns, heavily struck the staff on the ground!
Immediately, Sun Yu's killing intent became even more surging.
And with the sound, it directly weakened Spirit Saint Zhao Ming's aura by a few points.
At the same time, this sound also woke up Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing, who had almost been immersed in Sun Yu's killing intent....
"What? Spirit Saint Zhao Ming, do you still have a different opinion?! Do you perhaps want to fight a match to determine the victor?! Alright then, come, a life-and-death battle; whoever loses, dies....."
Sun Yu stared intently at Spirit Saint Zhao Ming with blood-red eyes.
He spoke in a casual tone, as if he didn't value his own life or the other party's life at all.
"No, no, I concede, I concede....."
At this moment, facing the immense pressure of Sun Yu's killing intent, coupled with the Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring beneath Sun Yu's feet, and Sun Yu's murderous aura, Spirit Saint Zhao Ming instantly softened and quickly begged for mercy.
As the saying goes, in a battle between two armies, losing momentum is equivalent to losing half the battle.
Although Zhao Ming was a Spirit Saint, he was already 30% inferior to Sun Yu in terms of aura alone.
Coupled with the terrifying blood-red halo of the Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring, it made Zhao Ming feel endless pressure and fear.
That's why he conceded so decisively.
Seeing that Spirit Saint Zhao Ming had already submitted to his might, Sun Yu immediately bowed and spoke to Emperor Xue Ye.
"Your Majesty, when your subject entered Slaughter City three years ago, I had already agreed with Marshal Ge Long to join the army. Now that the three-year period is up, your subject humbly requests Your Majesty to allow me to go to the front lines to kill the enemy and serve the country!"
"..."
As soon as Sun Yu said this, Xue Xing's face instantly turned incredibly dark.
Emperor Xue Ye's face was also extremely complex.
He wanted Sun Yu to go, but he also didn't want Sun Yu to go.
Sun Yu's talent was so strong, and he was so loyal and patriotic. If he were to die on the battlefield one day, then there would truly be nowhere for him to cry!
"Imperial Father, since Count Sun Yu has such sincerity, your son humbly requests Imperial Father to grant his wish!"
Xue Qinghe looked at Emperor Xue Ye's struggling face and spoke up to help Sun Yu.
Although Prince Xue Xing still wanted to speak up and stop him, seeing Zhao Ming's quail-like appearance, he immediately lost the courage to speak.
He could only stand in place, his mentality gradually exploding.
Finally, Emperor Xue Ye sighed and said, "Alright then, since Count Sun Yu has this intention, then I will go with the flow and agree. Sun Yu, heed my command!"
"Your humble subject is here!"
"I appoint you as Frost Flame General, leading three thousand personal guards. Three days from now, proceed to the front lines to support Marshal Ge Long's battle!"
"Your subject, heeds the command!"
"..."
"Holy moly, Old Sun, you're truly amazing! I heard you intimidated a Spirit Saint in the Imperial Palace in front of Emperor Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing. You're too awesome!"
Heaven Dou City, Moon Pavilion.
The former Royal Fight Team members had all gathered again because of Sun Yu's return from Slaughter City.
"That's nothing, but what truly shocked me was that Old Sun actually broke through to Spirit Emperor and even acquired a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring..... I really don't know how Old Sun managed to do it. He can have a Ten-thousand-year Soul Ring at six rings?!"
For a time, in response to the concern and curiosity of his former teammates, Sun Yu also smiled slightly and tried his best to answer their questions.
Soon, after three rounds of drinks and five courses of food, Sun Yu felt relieved upon learning that they had all been doing well during this period.
Sun Yu also learned that after absorbing the Immortal Herbs he gave them, their strength had significantly improved, and now, they were basically all Spirit Kings.
After parting ways with everyone, he was then led by Dugu Yan back to the Count's Manor that Xue Qinghe had specially established for Sun Yu within the Imperial City.
Within the Count's Manor, after Sun Yu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling spent two peaceful days together, he finally set off on a fast horse towards the border on the third day.
"No, why are you coming too? Aren't you going to continue protecting the Crown Prince?!"
After bidding farewell to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, Sun Yu looked at Ling Yan beside him and asked with a curious expression.
Logically speaking, shouldn't Ling Yan stay behind to protect the Crown Prince?
In response, Ling Yan pouted and said, "Hmph, Sun Yu, I am your captive. I couldn't go when you went to Slaughter City, but now that you're going to the border, I must follow, right? Otherwise, I might as well go back....."
Hearing this, Sun Yu also nodded.
Then, without much hesitation, he set off for the border with Ling Yan.
As for the personal guards, they were naturally Xue Qinghe's personal guards.
They were already assembled and ready in the vicinity of Fasinuo Province...
As soon as Sun Yu arrived, they would also set off immediately and officially rendezvous with Sun Yu before reaching the border.
Not long after, time flew by, and another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
As Sun Yu's position got closer and closer to the Heaven Dou Empire's border, the garrison stationed in Fasinuo Province also set off one after another, beginning to advance at full speed towards the Heaven Dou Empire's border.
"..."
"Marshal, we have been attacking Tiger Stone Pass for three days, and we still haven't been able to capture it. If we can't break through this pass, then the three cities we previously recaptured are very likely to be taken back by the Star Luo Empire again!"
Heaven Dou Empire border.
Inside Marshal Ge Long's tent.
A deputy general, who was in charge of commanding this attack on Tiger Stone Pass, spoke with a bitter expression.
Tiger Stone Pass was a pass used by the Star Luo Empire to defend against the Heaven Dou Empire.
This pass was situated on a cliff, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Furthermore, because the surroundings were all hard rocks, the only places where people could stand were on their city walls; there was no way for people to stand anywhere else.
Therefore, trying to use ladders to directly attack the city walls would be extremely difficult in practice.
Originally, a siege battle required ten times the number of enemy troops to have a chance of success.
However, due to the extremely dangerous terrain near Tiger Stone Pass, with hard rocks and cliffs all around, the number of people who could participate in the siege was limited by the steepness of the cliffs, making it impossible to fully expand the scope of the attack.
Therefore, trying to capture the city by overwhelming the enemy with normal numbers was quite difficult.
The steep cliffs and natural barriers undoubtedly increased the difficulty of the Royal Fight Team's siege by several levels.Loving Book So Far?Read 80+ Advanced Chapters at P@ Tre On
