Peace Order-Chapter 1496 - 2: The Title of Divine General Will Ultimately Change
But see the evaluation below.
[In the battle of the Western Regions, appearing for the first time, confronting the Ying Country’s Grandmaster Jiang Su, leveraging ten times the troops, yet not immediately crushed; in the Jiangnan battle, also confronting Yuwen Lie, not falling behind]
[His body clad in armor, wearing a distinctive mask with changable marks, proficient in the battle halberd and archery, his speech flippant and wild, adept at provoking others’ emotions, tracing back three hundred years, no trace of this person]
[Affiliation - Heavenly Strategy Mansion]
[Strength Estimate - Nine Heavens]
[White Tiger Dharma Form, seemingly a member of the Xue Family]
Xue Tianxing was confounded: "Does the Young Master have such profound foundations? How could there be such a renowned general we’ve never heard of? The Xue Family’s lineage?"
"Not existent in the last three hundred years, three hundred years almost marks the limit of the Nine-layered Heaven Peak, surely not a monster from over three hundred years ago?"
"Tut tut tut, still alive? And so flippant, capable of provoking the mindset of war generals."
"Unbelievable!"
Yuan Shitong smacked his lips, jesting: "Is it the lady’s dowry?"
Yue Pengwu frowned, solemnly: "Young Master and Tower Master Xue."
"Not yet wedded, don’t speak with such words."
"Lest you appear disrespectful."
Yuan Shitong laughed: "After all, no one’s around."
Yue Pengwu seriously said: "Is brother perhaps someone who disguises his face? Polite in appearance, yet flippant and insulting behind the scenes?"
Yuan Shitong shifted his gaze aside, feeling somewhat losing face, but only smiled bitterly, knowing everything about Yue Pengwu, but sometimes he was too upright, and his comical confidant Han Zaizhong wasn’t here, leaving him helpless.
Yue Pengwu knew his own disposition too, so he said no more, only stating: "If possessing this Divine General, then, my return to the Heavenly Strategy Mansion will be promising!"
Yuan Shitong, Xue Tianxing were both delighted, laughing: "The Young Master must surely be in the top ten."
"Thus, among the top ten distinguished generals worldwide, my Heavenly Strategy Mansion claims three!"
"Marvelous!"
The group slowly unfurled the scroll, seeing the fifth position.
But the fifth position bore a name unfamiliar.
Chen Tianqi of Chen.
The three former Taiping Army generals exchanged glances, all puzzled, then Xue Tianxing recalled, astounded, saying: "Chen Tianqi, isn’t this the legendary first battle general of Great Chen from one hundred eighty years ago?!! He’s still alive?!"
Yuan Shitong said: "I’ve heard, this one holds profound martial prowess, only his lifespan is nearing its end."
"All long sheltered in the Scripture Collection Pavilion of Chen Country, seldom making a move, only when faced with the peril of national ruin he would emerge, yet manpower is finite, he isn’t the Martial Arts Legend, nor has he consumed the legendary Elixir of Immortality."
"Even if always nurturing himself, even with hidden spirit pills to sustain vitality, perhaps, it’s only for one or two bouts on the battlefield."
"Perhaps, one fierce battle, and he would fall dead upon the battlefield."
"It seems, this is Chen Country’s last shred of concealing silk, unable to wage wars, only able to step forward in Chen Country’s capital’s last stand, preserving dignity."
Xue Tianxing felt somewhat disheartened, once devoted to his fallen nation, though he felt this situation deserved, yet couldn’t help feeling pity, softly muttering:
"Chen Country even pulled down such an aging grandmaster with scant longevity and primordial qi from their Scripture Collection Pavilion, fearing to truly fall..."
Then forced himself to muster spirit, stating:
"However, the next should be the Lord."
The group conversed, the scroll unfurling, reaching the fourth position.
During banter, expecting to see Li Guanyi, they instead saw an unexpected name.
Divine General—Gao Xiang!
Xue Tianxing, Yuan Shitong, Yue Pengwu were momentarily frozen in time.
This hidden change caused their thoughts to pause.
A few breaths passed.
Xue Tianxing shot up, murmuring: "Gao Xiang, Gao Xiang fell to fourth, thus..."
He took a leap forward, unfurling the scroll, fully expanding the Divine General List, rolling in midair, like the convergence of all phenomena in this world, eyes focused on the topmost position, representing the undefeated peak Divine General.
Li Guanyi.
Entering court not cringing, praised not named, with sword ascending the hall, commanding the world’s army, Red Emperor Grand Marshal, Heavenly Strategy General, Southwest Road Commander, Master of the thirty-six khans of the Western Regions, Lord of Jiangnan, Heavenly Khan, Prince Qin.
Age — eighteen.
Divine General List ranking —
Third position!
