Martial Boss Chapter 57

“Ah uh – ah uh – ah – ah -”

On the official road, a small grey donkey snorted and sang. On the donkey, a young man in white, dressed as a scholar, is resting his eyes.

As I look closer, the young scholar’s chest and belly exhale and inhale rhythmically, and although he is sitting on the walking donkey, he is as smooth as a mountain.

“Whew…”

The teenager exhaled a faint mist of qi that was in the air, condensing and not dissipating.

“Finally, the ninth level of Houtian.” Qing Yu said indifferently.

It had been more than two months since he had left Yang City. The curtain of that great curtain in Yangcheng had come down a month ago.

When Qing Yu left, Department Six had taken the City Lord’s Mansion and Song Ziqi along with Song Fu had escaped.

Two hundred thousand troops then marched into Yangcheng and began to fortify it. Three hundred years ago, Yangcheng was also a major border town. However, the defences had been abandoned for three hundred years and the city walls had fallen into disrepair. Since Song Ziqi had taken charge of the city lord’s residence, he had secretly destroyed some of the city’s defence equipment in stock.

Guarding Yang Cheng does not offer the advantages of a defender on the ground that a normal city attacker would have. Therefore, Ye Nan, the commander-in-chief of the 200,000-strong army, ordered the destruction of pa*sages and the change of terrain to turn a defensive battle of positions into something like a wild battle in the mountains and forests.

As mentioned before, hundreds of years ago, due to an unknown natural or man-made disaster, a large rift appeared in the Lian Broken Mountain Range, and Yang Cheng was built at which end of the rift in the direction of the Central Plains.

Ye Tiannan ordered the destruction of the pa*sage and used experts to collapse the surrounding mountain walls in front of Yang Cheng and build several artificial hills. If the Zhenshan army wanted to attack the city, they would have to charge through the hills and face the arrows of the defenders on the walls of Yang Cheng and the attack of the stone throwers.

Ye Tiannan had to make a huge sacrifice in giving this order. Although the imperial officials all knew that the loss of Qingzhou was inevitable, they still held out hope that if the Zhenshan army lost too much in the attack on Yangcheng, then the court might be able to take advantage of the situation and attack directly to retake Qingzhou again.

Ye Tiannan’s order would have saved Yangcheng from being lost, but it would have overstepped the bounds of his authority and lost all hope of a counter-attack on Qingzhou, and even if he had won the battle, he would not have received any credit and might have been blamed for it.

However, even with such preparations, Yangcheng was nearly lost.

Zhenshan Jun came out of seclusion ahead of schedule, having been in seclusion to break through to the God Realm. With Zhen Shanjun at the God Realm, and Xuan Guang, who was only a hair’s breadth away from the God Realm, Ye Tiannan and Lu Qifeng were completely overpowered.

Moreover, the Zhenshan Army had elite troops for surprise attacks. The black palace in the Shadow Market, the first and only time Qing Yu visited Yangcheng’s Shadow Market, was in front of this black palace, chatting with Xuan Guang. In this palace, a pa*sageway had long been dug through the Lianbian Mountain Range.

The elite troops of the Zhenshan army pa*sed through this pa*sage and attacked Yangcheng by surprise, echoing the external army both inside and outside. The withdrawal from Yangcheng beforehand was, I think, also a suspicious ploy by Zhenshanjun, so no wonder Xuan Guang had stayed away.

At the moment of crisis, the Sheriff God of Department Six arrived in time to defeat Zhenshanjun and save Yangcheng.

However, the loss of Qingzhou was a foregone conclusion, and Zhenshanjun, who had broken up the land and sealed the territory, called himself King Zhenshan and dominated the area.

Despite the fact that everyone knew that Zhen Shanjun had collusion with the Southern Border, the Southern Border did not make the slightest move in the battle of Yang Cheng. Zhen Shanjun was still ostensibly a member of the Central Plains, but he had turned against the Great Qian, and the Emperor of the Great Qian could not call upon the experts of the various schools of the Jianghu to besiege Zhen Shanjun in the name of great justice. After all, there was more than one imperial dynasty in this Central Plains land, and the Great Qian’s Great Ancestor, back then, had also rebelled against his family.

The latter was Qing Yu’s idea; the information given by Department Six would not have given information about such and dark history related information.

“Just by looking at the information given by Department Six, one can imagine how hot and exciting the battle was this month. It’s a pity that I escaped beforehand ——”

Although it was a pity, Qing Yu did not regret it, after all, there was only one life. It was certainly a pity that he could not watch, or even participate in this great battle, but if he lost his life to this great battle, that was not a pity that could be described.

“Ding, the host’s realm has been detected to have reached the ninth level of Houtian, the Guardian BOSS card is open.” The system’s prompt sounded.

The system unexpectedly had a new prompt.

Ever since leaving that so-called novice village map, the system had not spoken much, appearing to be very Buddhist. According to Qing Yu’s communication with the system, the current system, unless it encountered a very significant event, would not take the initiative to issue a quest. If Qing Yu wanted to obtain the system’s rewards, he could only do something big that fit the villain’s style, similar to constantly achieving some achievements.

According to Qing Yu’s understanding, it was to constantly get things done, giving villain points for small things and rewards such as lottery prizes or items for big things.

“System, what’s the deal with the Guardian BOSS?”

“When the host reaches the highest weight of the current Great Realm, the Guardian BOSS card will be opened. The Guardian BOSS is in the system’s character card library and is the strongest character in the host’s current realm. The host needs to defeat the Guardian BOSS in order to advance to the realm. If he/she cannot, the host is not strong enough, please continue to work hard, there is no limit to the number of times the Guardian BOSS character card can be challenged and it will not disappear after failure. Hint, if the host is unable to advance to the realm by defeating the Guardian BOSS, he or she will never be able to obtain a character card in the future.”

“It seems that this Guardian BOSS must be defeated.” Qing Yu said to himself.

Although the character card inheritance was difficult to obtain and the corresponding character had to be defeated to get it, the reward after defeating it was definitely worthy of your hard work. Other than that, the martial arts insights of the characters alone were something that Qing Yu absolutely could not part with. Without the selfless dedication of Wei Xiaobao and Yin Zhiping back then, Qing Yu would probably still be slaving away at the Taoist temple, looking at a character card that he couldn’t beat.

It could be said that the character cards were the core of the villain’s inheritance system.

“System, let me see who the Gatekeeper BOSS of the Houtian Realm is.” Gu Zhaoge ordered.

A card that glowed with a faint seven rainbow light appeared before Qing Yu’s eyes, unlike the humble bronze cards of ordinary Houtian Realm characters, the character card in front of him had a body like a crystal casting and glowed with a faint seven rainbow light.

Houtian Realm Gatekeeper BOSS Card

Name: Dongfang Bufu

Realm: Houtian peak

Item: None

Martial art: “Sunflower Canon

Comments: The sun rises in the east, only I am undefeated!

It’s not easy, a character card from the system finally has a positive rating. The reviews of the character cards I got before had an air of amus*ment about them, making it seem like the villain inheritance system didn’t treat villains well. Now it seems that it was not that the villains were not treated well, but that the characters drawn before were too low.

On the card, there is a fiery red sun behind Dongfang Bufei, who is dressed in red, her skin is like snow, her eyes are like a vast body of water, and when she looks at them, she has an elegant and arrogant temperament that makes people feel intimidated, ashamed of themselves and dare not blaspheme. But the coldness and arrogance of the eyes is quite seductive, and one cannot help but be haunted.

He is clearly in front of the rising sun, but he is even more dazzling and eye-catching than the rising sun behind him.

“System, is Dongfang Bufei a man or a woman?” Qing Yu asked.

With this look, I’m afraid it wasn’t Yu Ma’s version of Dongfang Bu Bufei.

“Male.”

“Oh.”

It suddenly felt tasteless.
