Chapter 512: Chapter 282: The Reincarnated One from One Hundred Thousand Years Later

```

"Cough, such a strategy is simply inconceivable, a mere ten thousand Daoist Soldiers, yet they could possess the power to resist a hundred thousand," Jiang Lu coughed out blood, his complexion a bit pale.

He knew that Dalong was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, but he truly hadn’t anticipated the existence of such a domineering force.

That young warlord who controlled Si Li Yong’an and leveraged the Emperor to command the lords was indeed very powerful; he had only a hundred thousand Daoist Soldiers at his disposal. Even with that number, they were able to unleash a might no less terrifying than a million or even ten million Daoist Soldiers.

And it was precisely because of this that the entire Alliance at Taihe Pass was beaten like a dog by the enemy; they had no way to resist at all.

Now, of the hundred thousand Sun and Moon Daoist Soldiers he had commanded, less than a thousand remained. It seemed as if the enemy was personally leading troops to hunt him down, which filled him with doubts. He didn’t understand why he was being specifically targeted.

Logically, after the enemy had wiped out many of the illegitimate kings, they should have moved on to hunting down those warlords stronger than himself, but for some reason, they had chosen to focus on him.

"It seems I won’t be able to return this time, but with the teacher there, Liang State should be safe," Jiang Lu knew he truly was no match; his Sun and Moon Daoist Soldiers couldn’t compare to the enemy’s military might and strategy.

But he wasn’t afraid of death; his only regret was that he felt he had let Gu Shanhai down. After all, he had vowed to make something of himself, and now he was about to die without fulfilling that promise.

Furthermore, his progeny was still young, and he feared that he would again be burdening Gu Shanhai. Otherwise, with a young lord and strong servants, trouble was bound to ensue sooner or later. Compared to sworn brothers, he naturally trusted Gu Shanhai more.

"My lord, scouts report that the pursuers are gaining on us again," a Sun and Moon Daoist Soldier said with a weary expression.

"Let’s go, leave immediately," Jiang Lu once again mounted his horse and led his Daoist Soldiers in an escape. Riding, he could feel every jolt burning within him—an internal injury.

Of course, there had been a battle against the enemy previously, during which they had easily crushed him, as if the enemy was a much higher level of power, acting with ease.

"It’s too late, if you had been even two hours earlier, you might have been able to escape the encirclement," a clear voice sounded.

The leading youngster looked extraordinary, attired in luxurious robes, appearing not at all like a warlord adept at fighting but more like a scion of a noble family.

"It seems I’m truly not going to make it back this time," Jiang Lu said with a smile, looking at the surrounding Daoist Soldiers closing in. He was calm and didn’t show any signs of hysteria.

"Do you have any last words? In light of your past heroism, I will fulfill your request if it’s not too excessive," the young man asked with a tranquil expression, regarding Jiang Lu as already a dead man.

"Please send the bodies of me and my brothers-in-arms back to Liang State," Jiang Lu didn’t mince words. He knew the enemy had said they would fulfill his request if it wasn’t too excessive, so his requirement surely wasn’t too much to ask.

The young man nodded, "Alright, then please be on your way."

The end of a hero was at hand, and sending back the body was a small matter.

But his meaning was also very clear; to preserve everyone’s dignity, you should take your own life—everything else can be negotiated afterward.

"Wait, I have something to say," Gu Shanhai suddenly emerged from the side, and everyone was startled, completely unexpected for Gu Shanhai to appear.

"Teacher? How did you get here?" Jiang Lu’s eyes were wide with astonishment.

The young man looked at Gu Shanhai with a touch of confusion. He didn’t understand how this middle-aged man had managed to get past his encirclement, and he seemed not to recognize him.

"Oh, I divined a great omen of disaster for you, so I rushed over to save you. It was close; almost didn’t make it. It’s all because of those people, too slow," Gu Shanhai said with a hint of reproach.

"So, teacher, how many reinforcements did you bring?" Jiang Lu asked, somewhat excited.

"Reinforcements? I didn’t bring any, just came by myself," Gu Shanhai said after catching his breath.

Upon hearing this, the already silent atmosphere became somewhat frozen.

"Cough, young man, please give me some face, and let’s just leave it at that," Gu Shanhai turned and spoke to the young man.

"Sorry, sir, your ’face’ doesn’t work with me," replied the young man calmly, clearly unimpressed by Gu Shanhai.

"That’s really too bad, but I did bring a special product with me, I hope you’ll like it," Gu Shanhai said as he took out an 8-meter-long, 2.1-meter caliber object weighing about 27 tons.

"Let me introduce, Big Ivan—Five Elements Sect version 3.7, with a 50 million ton TNT equivalent, a tri-phase elastic quality hydrogen bomb, enhanced by a series of amplifications I’ve applied."

"You don’t have to give me face, but you may want to give this thing face," Gu Shanhai said.

The young man scoffed upon seeing this, "You think a metal lump is enough to threaten me?"

He didn’t sense any fluctuations from the Big Ivan; it seemed to be just an ordinary piece of metal.

"I mean, this thing is going to explode, and the explosion will be huge!" The device in Gu Shanhai’s hand wasn’t the original Big Ivan but his modified version, significantly more powerful than the original, and whether in terms of pollution or range, it was exceedingly formidable.

Even if Gu Shanhai used the Five Elements Great Escape to its extreme, he could only just barely escape the blast radius. With the enemy’s capacity, there was no chance of getting away.

"Teacher... are you sure this will work?" Jiang Lu had misunderstood Gu Shanhai, thinking it was a bluff.

But Gu Shanhai’s actual plan was to seize the moment when the enemy wasn’t paying attention, whisk Jiang Lu away, and then detonate the Big Ivan.
