The Next Of Phoenix
Chapter 78. You Can't Die!

TRANGS!

SPLASH!!

Xiao Jiwang continued to slash at the enemy. Now, they have been fighting for three whole days without sleep. This war is completely insane, there is absolutely no pause.

"Your Majesty, we have lost a quarter of the army. Is there really hope?!" chen Qi asked, the man looks quite messy. His sword and armor had been stained with a lot of bloodstains.

Gu Lingchi, that man has been knocked back. He was severely injured when he was about to protect Xiao Jiwang from the stabbing of the enemy's sword. As for his father, Gu Sinjie, the man was still nimble to move despite having aged.

Xiao Jiwang looked coldly at Chen Qi. "Whether or not there is hope, keep fighting for the Empire, Chen Qi."

THE TRACK!

Xiao Jiwang pierced the heart of his enemy that had been sprawled on the ground to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Toxic bomb! They're about to fire it back!!"

Xiao Jiwang turned his head towards the cannon that was preparing to launch the bomb back. His eyes looked very cold and sharp, fatigue instead of play looked real in his eyes. His condition was quite chaotic, just like Chen Qi. They could not relax for a second, as enemies kept popping up and trying to kill.

"Your majesty! How's it?!" Chen Qi looked panicked, her eyes looking at Xiao Jiwang.

Xiao Jiwang did not reply, he hurriedly walked towards Gu Sinjie.

"Master Gu."

Gu Sinjie turned his head, his eyes also exuding confusion that was reluctant to give up.

"Get an army for me" Xiao Jiwang said.

Gu Sinjie was stunned, then slowly his head shook. "No, your honor. You are the heir to the throne."

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly. "The duty of the heir to the throne was to be the protector for the entire Empire's landmass. So, don't stop me from carrying out my duties as heir to the throne, Mr. Gu."

Gu Sinjie shook his head again. "Princess Mingyui will-"

"The woman will be fine. Trust me, I have prepared a second plan if in the end I have to end up here," Xiao Jiwang said.

Gu Sinjie clenched both his hands, his eyes looking red, holding back tears from coming out. Gu Sinjie quickly bowed, leaving the entire army stunned and confused. But, when they looked towards the cannon that was preparing to fire the bomb, they immediately knew the answer.

Chen Qi cried, the man bowed to Xiao Jiwang.

Gu Sinjie stood up straight again, then patted Chen Qi on the shoulder and pulled him away from Xiao Jiwang. The entire army retreated, then they struck a sword right in front of them and kneeled towards Xiao Jiwang at the same time.

Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly, then turned around and turned his back to them. The whole army bowed in tears, again .. they would lose the leader of the army. If Xiao Jiwang were to die, the likely one who replaced the man would be Gu Sinjie.

Clontang!

Xiao Jiwang dropped his sword onto the ground, after which walked forward. His eyes stared intently at the cannon as he focused on gathering all of his inner strength into one.

BOOM UP!

AWYGGGG!!!!

The cannon started spewing out huge bombs, quickly Xiao Jiwang raised both his hands. A large orange shield appeared enveloping the entire area where the troops were located.

Xiao Jiwang blocked the bomb blow, his entire body again felt a burning sensation from within.

Cracks! Cracks!

Xiao Jiwang's shield began to crack, the man again and again fully defended his shield so that the explosive effects of the terrifying bomb and its poisonous smoke did not hit the troops.

"AGRAND ...!" Xiao Jiwang grimaced, the two corners of his brows fused tightly together.

"JWANG!!!"

Amidst his distress, he heard Xiao Mingyui's voice shouting out his name. Xiao Jiwang smiled faintly, will ...human who is about to die experience hallucinations?

However ....

A SPLASH!

BOOM UP!

A blue-colored light appeared, creating a new shield that enveloped Xiao Jiwang's orange shield.

Xiao Jiwang was stunned, his eyes watching Xiao Mingyui who was now standing right beside him.

Xiao Mingyui who noticed Xiao Jiwang's surprised gaze immediately glanced quickly and said, "Fuck, you must not die. You promised to marry me, Xiao Jiwang. I don't want to marry another man. If you die, it should be in my hands!"

"GU FUREN!!"

Xiao Mingyui called out for Baili Ruyi, making the entire unfinished army out of his shock at Xiao Mingyui's arrival, now they had to come back startled as Gu Furen suddenly called out. The woman appeared and ....

BOOM!!

The woman hit a poisonous bomb with her fists, she had worn a tight face mask until the smoke was not sucked.

Gu Sinjie gulped when he saw the action of his wife, he was a little surprised that his wife was not weakened at all despite being consumed by age. The man was more horrified when he realized that the pieces of the bomb his wife destroyed were finer than the pieces of the bomb he destroyed.

"Mr Chen! Bring the Crown Prince back to the military headquarters of the war! Treat the wound!" Xiao Mingyui exclaimed to rule Chen Qi.

Xiao Jiwang shook his head, not agreeing. "Can't, I got-"

"We still have the next fight, Your Majesty. Please, this time you should rest. When the Southeastern Huan army is successfully cleared, we still have to sneak inside their headquarters to search for Xiangqing," Xiao Mingyui said.

"That's it, your honor. Come on!" Chen Qi withdrew Xiao Jiwang's hand so that the man did not have a chance to refuse.

Not far from the position Xiao Mingyui stood in, from behind Rong Wangxia smiled on his horse staring at Xiao Mingyui. The figure of Xiao Mingyui truly reminded him of Huang Mingxiang.

Xiao Mingyui drew his sword out, his eyes staring ferociously at the enemy.

"The command of the army was taken over by me! Use formation 4! Surround from the south and north! The rest came with me, attacking from the front!" Xiao Mingyui exclaimed loudly, staring at the troops. His left hand raised showed a plaque in particular.

"Okay, your highness!!"

The spirit of the troops rose again, they stood up again after they finished kneeling.

"Aunt Yui is ready?" xiao Mingyui asked Baili Ruyi.

Baili Ruyi nodded. "It has. He's ready."

Xiao Mingyui nodded back as well in satisfaction, after which turned her head towards Rong Wangxia. "Mr Rong, do you really know how to stop that bomb?"

Rong Wangxia nodded steadily. "certain."

Xiao Mingyui smiled coldly, then nodded in understanding. The woman's gaze became much more serious, she looked straight ahead at the enemy.

"START! ATTACK THEM!!" Xiao Mingyui shouted out loudly, then dashed towards the enemy who also started approaching with his feet. That woman is crazy on the battlefield.

*fifteen minutes before Xiao Mingyui and the rest of the troops set off for the battlefield*

Xiao Mingyui and the others were in a sealed room. This room used to be Xiao Muqing's workplace when he was still an ordinary prince.

"According to the reports I have received on the picture of the conditions there, the enemy has two large cannons to fire poison bombs."

Xiao Mingyui nodded briefly when he heard Baili Ruyi's sentence, then quietly. The four of them were busy thinking about strategy. Xiao Mingyui, Baili Ruyi, Yui, and Rong Wangxia were at the same table.

Before long, Xiao Mingyui glanced at Yui and asked, "Aunt Yui, are your Qingpo abilities still very good?"

Yui nodded. "I am still capable."

Xiao Mingyui nodded in satisfaction, then said, "That's good. I have a plan. Aunt Yui, as our location gets closer to the battlefield, you must part with us. As much as possible, it slipped seamlessly into the military headquarters of the Southeast Huan war. Exploding a big dangerous bomb like a toxic bomb is not easy. They have to set the time or not the weapon will kill them as well. There was a pause of about seven to seven minutes for them to set up the cannon. Most likely, they used the cannons interchangeably, as the bombs could not be detonated simultaneously. The pressure of both of them was enormous, if simultaneously gliding at the same time, the cannon would explode. Therefore, use your Qingpo ability to possess one of the soldiers' bodies in charge of setting bombs and cannons. Then .. his cannon talent."

"Next, Gu Furen and I will lead the army. I will take care of the attacking troops from the front, while Gu Furen will lead the attacking forces from the south. Since there is still Master Gu there, we can later ask him to lead the troops from the north. And ...." Xiao Mingyui's eyes glanced at Rong Wangxia.

"Mr Rong, you're with me. When Gu Furen and Mr. Gu attacked, the bomb would of course be detonated. And at that point, you'll use any means you know to stop the bomb. You ready? I'll help-"

"No need, I can handle it myself, Your Majesty. As I try to block the bomb, please stay away. Because the effect is quite dangerous," Rong Wangxia cut off, his lips smiling.

Xiao Mingyui raised his left eyebrow at a glance, he had no idea that Rong Wangxia was an extremely powerful man, even capable of blocking a poisonous bomb?

Xiao Mingyui nodded briefly and looked back at Yui. "All right, I get it. Then, aunt Yui, after the bomb is launched, you can immediately burn the other cannon. Make sure no soldiers approach the cannon to put out the fire. When the cannon has been completely covered in fire, you can exit the body."

Yui nodded steadily with confidence. "Okay, your honor."
