Peace Order

Chapter 1692: Chapter 53: Qilin Treads the Fire, Chen Shi Abandons the Capital

Chen Dingye’s white hair fluttered, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, this poisonous dragon coughed violently, blood at the corner of his mouth, yet he just laughed heartily:

"Hahaha, the army is still too few, Li Guanyi, with less than twenty thousand cavalry, you are still unable to kill me under the protection of the Great Chen Destiny."

"Yue Pengwu is strong, but he is still a thousand miles away. Although Great Chen is riddled with holes, it hasn’t completely collapsed yet."

"If there were two hundred thousand, wouldn’t that be enough?"

Li Guanyi stared at this Emperor Chen and said, "But to kill you, it’s enough."

Chen Dingye gazed at him, his white hair wild, laughing and saying, "Yes, but, Prince Qin, do you think I would fight you like this? Who in the world doesn’t know Prince Qin’s methods? How could I fight you head-on?"

Li Guanyi’s gaze was cold as he looked at him.

Just now, Chen Dingye took a hit from Li Guanyi at the cost of his own Qi Fortune breaking. In this opportunity, Chen Tianqi had already returned to the city. Chen Dingye looked at Li Guanyi, filled with regret, and said, "Originally, I wanted to share wine and reminisce with you, to buy time."

"But since Prince Qin is so impatient, then so be it."

"I offer you a choice."

"Of course, you can choose to continue to kill me, but, the opposite choice is..."

Before the words could fall, the Breaking Cloud Sky-shattering Bow had already resounded.

Chen Dingye had long since retreated and fallen backward behind the city wall, his arms spread wide, white hair waving, smiling and saying, "Your Great Chen capital that you see in your eyes."

"What?!"

Prince Qin held his weapon, and in the next moment, with a special sound accompanying, he was stunned, slightly raising his head, his dark eyes reflecting the entire Jiangzhou City, but in the next moment, fierce flames shot up to the sky.

Set it on fire, burn the city.

Burning his own capital.

The sound of Chen Dingye’s almost insane laughter exploded.

Li Guanyi’s eyes were about to burst; even though he had a blood feud with Chen Dingye that made him want to flay him alive, at this moment, he could not make a second choice, gathering his troops, the Dharma Form of the Ancient Red Dragon ascended and emerged, breaking into the city.

He grabbed the little cat on his shoulder, saying, "Qilin!!!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Fire Qilin turned into a stream of light, rushing to the sky.

The Fire Qilin, usually fond of eating good fruits, at this moment showed not the slightest hesitation, as the people were in panic, suddenly hearing a low growl, clearly the roar of a mighty beast, yet at this moment, it instantly calmed the people’s hearts.

The Fire Qilin rushed to the sky, displaying the auspicious characteristics of a Divine Beast—

The power of treading fire and controlling fire was exhibited.

Not all auspicious signs are of the Red Dragon, or rather, all auspicious signs differ from the Red Dragon, even the White Tiger possesses the versatility to master weapons, the Qilin Power being exhibited, in an instant, the entire city’s flames halted.

Immediately reversing heaven and earth, flying towards the Qilin in the air.

Millions of flame streams rose from the ground, flying into the sky, everyone in Jiangzhou City knew what this scene represented, knowing that their lives had just nearly been lost, they watched that Qilin tread fire, mouthing softly after a long while:

"Fire Qilin..."

"Is it Prince Qin?!!!"

"Prince Qin has come, Prince Qin!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The earlier fear, discovering the despair when the entire city seemed about to be ignited, and the appearance of the Qilin, suppressing the calamity, millions of flames like meteors from the earth soaring into the sky, all erupted in an instant.

The hearts of the city’s people, captured in a single moment.

Li Guanyi gasped for breath, tightly wound spirit, only just relaxed, yet Chen Dingye was nowhere to be seen, Chen Dingye pulling on his horse, the white-haired monarch watching this scene, watching that Qilin tread fire, his gaze cold and deep.

Chen Tianqi watched this scene, stared at Chen Dingye angrily:

"Burn the city and harm the people, and yet still delay for time, do you not know there is a Fire Qilin here?"

"Chen Dingye, do you mean to hand over the hearts of the people to that Prince Qin?"

Chen Dingye said, "No, I just find it exceedingly dull."

Chen Tianqi, caught off guard, "What?"

Chen Dingye said blandly, "We have already lost to Prince Qin, and Prince Qin himself is enough to unite people’s hearts, even if we use all means, defend the city and defeat the enemy, stir the people’s hearts, it’s of no use."

"Cannot win, yet still willing to gamble Jiangzhou City and at least tens of thousands of commoners injured or dead."

"Unable to win, and yet, at all costs, make the opponent lose, such is too disgraced, too ugly, ancestors."

Chen Tianqi looked at this monarch, with a sense of not knowing him.

Chen Dingye said blandly, "If I lose, then lose together, this is just the behavior of a street gambler."

"Not the grace of a monarch."

"Even as a ludicrous monarch as I, to use the capital’s people as a weapon to delay Prince Qin’s steps, it’s something I cannot do, the people of the city, indeed resent me, but at least at this moment, let me do something for them."

The white-haired monarch looked at this Jiangzhou City, eyes calm:

"Let me help them integrate more quickly with Prince Qin’s realm."

"Avoid weapons, avoid death and injury, let them be in peace."

"Is this not what it means to be a monarch?"

Chen Tianqi stayed silent for a long time, unable to agree, yet also unable to refute, just kept silent for a long time, not knowing what kind of means Tantai Xianming had in those years, to foster such a person into that kind of posture.

Just said, "And what about you..."

Chen Dingye said, "I said, I will continue to fight until the end."

"Great Chen, still has its gateway."

Chen Dingye led the remaining troops, abandoned Jiangzhou City, and rushed to the north.

There, was the last territory, and the last strong army and elite.

Zhenbei Pass.

And at the same time, the Prince Qin who extinguished the flames of the city.

Amidst the people’s cheers and welcome, entered the palace of Chen Country.
