Chapter 410: Battle of the Two Emperors_2
Could it really be that he sympathizes with the soldiers and is willing to risk himself to reduce the sacrifices of soldiers and civilians from both countries?
If that's the case, why would he initiate the war himself?
What Emperor Wei truly thinks, perhaps only he knows, but undoubtedly, everyone who is in the know, as well as the nations, are all focused on the unprecedented battle that will take place three days later.
Daxia.
Yi State.
Yi State is a historically famous ancient battlefield. Back then, after the Xia Country's army annihilated the then Yi Country at Yi State, it officially embarked on the path to dominate the continent.
Today, the Wei Country's army has already approached Yi State.
The location where the two emperors will battle is set at Yi State, which is also the front of the two armies.
Whether it is a coincidence or not, this was where Xia Country began, and perhaps it will also become their end.
Daxia began here and will end here as well.
The expressions on the faces of the Daxia soldiers were extremely heavy.
The Left and Right Prime Ministers stood atop the city wall, facing the endless Wei Country's army in the distance.
The Left Prime Minister's face was solemn.
The Right Prime Minister's expression was calm.
11:00 a.m.
From within the Wei Country's army, a presence emanating stronger than the usual Semi-Saint surged to the sky. On the Yi State city wall, the Xia Emperor turned back to glance and said, "I go now."
"Farewell, Emperor!"
"Farewell, Emperor!"
The soldiers spoke heavily, fearing the Emperor would not return.
The Xia Emperor turned around, sensing the immensely powerful presence opposite him. A barely noticeable smile appeared on his lips as he transformed into a stream of light, vanishing from the city wall.
At the same time, a beam of light approached from the Wei Army's direction.
In the area between the Wei Army's camp and Yi State, which belongs neither to Wei Country nor Daxia, where the two were fighting, there would be no additional forces aiding them, only relying on their own strength.
Everyone could only see two streaks of yellow light colliding continuously in the clouds, separating, then colliding again. Even a Semi-Saint couldn't see the details of their engagement, only the two yellow streaks of light.
Yet visibly, one of the streaks of light was quickly dimming.
Above the Wei Country's camp, several figures hovered, their eyes unwaveringly focused ahead.
This was a battle of two Emperors, which they couldn't and didn't need to interfere with.
Originally, Xia Country's national power was much weaker than Dawei's, and having had so much territory plundered, the Xia Emperor's power was already the weakest among the emperors of the Five Great Dynasties, making it impossible to defeat the Emperor.
The light growing dimmer belonged to the Xia Emperor.
An elder with white hair smiled and said, "It's over."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow beam of light fell swiftly from high above, landing heavily on the ground.
Emperor Wei slowly descended, his complexion slightly pale, and his aura significantly weaker than before.
Although his strength was much greater than the Xia Emperor's, the opponent was still one of the emperors of the Five Great Dynasties, and defeating him was no easy task.
The Xia Emperor slowly rose, his youthful appearance now old once more, his imperial power completely exhausted.
Emperor Wei looked at him and said, "Indeed, it's the Lifespan Extension Pill; there really is no such thing as the Path of Immortality in this world..."
It was rumored that the Xia Emperor had been researching the Immortality Technique. Now it seemed that, like himself, it was only by slaughtering his kin that he gained a chance to extend his life span...
The Xia Emperor wiped the blood from his lips, his face suddenly showing a trace of a smile.
Emperor Wei's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Why are you smiling?"
The Xia Emperor's smile became even more radiant as he said, "Have you ever considered..."
Emperor Wei asked in a deep voice, "Considered what?"
The Xia Emperor raised his head and said, "After all these years, if I hadn't been researching the Immortality Technique, what have I been doing during my seclusion for so long?"
Clearly, the Xia Emperor in front of him was at his last gasp. One thought would be enough to take his life, but at this moment, a very ominous feeling arose in Emperor Wei's heart.
He no longer hesitated and made his move decisively.
With just a moment, he could twist the Xia Emperor's neck.
But as soon as his wrist extended, it was held by someone.
The Xia Emperor grasped Emperor Wei's wrist, and the aura within him, which had weakened to the extreme, started to rapidly recover.
This power did not belong to the Royal family but to------the Martial Path.
In just a few breaths, this power surged to the level of a Semi-Saint.
Emperor Wei's expression changed dramatically. If it had been during his peak or in Wei Country, even with only thirty percent of his power left, he wouldn't fear a Martial Path Half-Saint.
But at that moment, he was neither in peak form nor in Wei Country. At this close range, a Martial Path Half-Saint could directly threaten his life!
He never imagined that the Xia Country Emperor, apart from his royal cultivation, was also a Martial Path Half-Saint!
This was unprecedented, as members of royal families rarely possessed martial talent.
If he had known this earlier, he would never have agreed to duel with the Daxia Emperor!
But now, it was all too late.
An invisible sword appeared in the Xia Emperor's hand. He wielded it with a light swing, and a head rolled to the ground...
Looking at Emperor Wei's head and sensing the rapidly surging aura within himself, the Xia Emperor breathed deeply and said in a deep voice, "I waited for this moment for sixty years..."
...
"What!"
"This is impossible!"
"How could this be!"
"Emperor!"
From Wei Country's direction, several Semi-Saints turned pale, witnessing the Emperor being beheaded by the Xia Emperor. Apart from the shock, their hearts were gradually filled with terror.
The Emperor is dead...
