Chapter 860 Rebel Commander Guo Yu Takes the Opportunity to Intimidate the Surname
At that critical moment, the entire world seemed to freeze, and time itself seemed to stand still. Suddenly, a dark figure emerged slowly from the darkness like a ghost. Everyone looked on in astonishment, only to see a figure standing there silently, like a statue, exuding an indescribable aura of majesty and menace.
This figure was none other than Guo Yu, the mysterious manipulator who had been operating from behind the scenes! He was like a cheetah that had been lying in wait, patiently awaiting the perfect moment to strike. Now, he finally revealed his true colors to the world.
Surprisingly, despite the close proximity, people still couldn't see his true face. It was as if an invisible force enveloped him, immersing him in a deep, dark abyss. The dense, heavy shadow was like an impenetrable barrier, protecting him tightly, like wearing a suit of jet-black armor, flawless and unassailable.
Only those eyes, like two cold, piercing stars, emitted a chilling and merciless light. They pierced through the thick fog, sweeping directly towards the crowd with a terrifying pressure. Everyone who met those eyes would involuntarily shiver, a nameless fear and awe welling up within them.
He stared blankly at the brutal battle unfolding before him, a cold, cruel smile playing on his lips. Without hesitation, he waved his command flag, issuing a death order to the horde of ferocious rebel soldiers behind him: "Charge! Kill them all!" This roar ignited a frenzy among the already crazed rebels, who charged at the six women like swarms of wolves, brandishing their various weapons… These heartless, wicked bastards showed no mercy to the six women lying in pools of blood, their lives hanging by a thread. Instead, they intensified their cruelty, treating them with even greater brutality! Like a pack of hungry wolves, they dragged the women from the center of the stage, then mercilessly trampled and ravaged them.
At this moment, though these women still clung to life, they were utterly powerless against the relentless, brutal, and inhuman torture inflicted upon them by these demonic soldiers. And so, in the abyss of boundless despair and excruciating pain, these six resilient women slowly breathed their last—a breath of foul, murky air; until their eyes were wide open, fixed on the sky above, they departed this world filled with resentment, refusing to close their eyes even in death…
Bowstrings were taut, and arrows rained down on Lin Xiaowan and her companions like locusts. In an instant, countless arrows wove together a deadly net, densely enveloping them. Although these women possessed extraordinary skills, they were no match for such a dense, rain-like attack. A series of screams rang out as they fell to the ground, struck by arrows, their blood staining the earth beneath their feet.
However, this was only the beginning of the nightmare. The rebel soldiers pounced on them without mercy, subjecting the already severely wounded Lin Xiaowan and the others to inhumane torture. They used all sorts of cruel methods to torment these poor women, indulging their lustful desires. By this time, Lin Xiaowan and the others were powerless to resist and could only silently endure it all.
Finally, after a long and agonizing ordeal, Lin Xiaowan and the other five died one after another. They had finally regained their lives and returned to their previous level, but this sudden turn of events cost them their precious lives once again. Even more tragically, they not only died on the spot, but also suffered humiliation and trampling from the rebel soldiers who were weak in martial arts and shallow in cultivation.
Lin Xiaowan, Lin Xiaohong, Lin Xuan, Lin Xiaoyan, Bai Jie, and Bai Mei were once again riddled with arrows by the rebel army's crossbows, and finally died after being repeatedly humiliated by the soldiers. Their newly resurrected cultivation levels were not yet stable, and they were killed again on the stage. In the end, they were repeatedly humiliated by soldiers whose martial arts and cultivation levels were far inferior to theirs. It was a gruesome sight. Under these circumstances, the six Lin women were once again plotted against and killed by the rebel army's commander-in-chief, Guo Yu. They breathed their last breath and died miserably on the stage, their bodies covered with bruises from humiliation. They lay naked and dead in the center of the stage.
Seeing the tragic scene before him, the rebel commander Guo Yu revealed a sinister smile... Although he had lost his two deputy generals, Zhao Hu and Qian Bin, he still felt a great sense of accomplishment in killing the six women of the Lin family who were at the Earth Realm again. After all, the six women's realm was similar to, or even a step above, that of a commander of ten thousand men. Using the standard giant winch crossbow carts of the Sixteen Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty that he had obtained from the aristocratic families, he easily killed the six women of the Lin family who had just been resurrected!
The setting sun, like blood, illuminated the massive stage that had been erected. The air was thick with the stench of blood, gunpowder, and a nauseating, burnt smell. It was a brutal siege battle; the victors were his rebel archers and crossbowmen, his heavy infantry, and his elite warriors.
Guo Yu, the rebel commander, stood below the stage, his dark armor splattered with crimson blood. His gaze swept over the infernal scene before him, thick with the stench of blood and poison. Lin Xiaowan, Lin Xuan, Lin Xiaohong, Lin Xiaoyan, Bai Jie, and Bai Mei—six female experts from the Great Zhou Realm who had infiltrated to work as dancers and geishas—were now riddled with arrows by his thousands of archers and repeatedly humiliated by his more than ten thousand soldiers. They lay naked and motionless on the stage, their bruises and wounded bodies whimpering in the cold wind.
However, looking at the tragic scene before him, Guo Yu's weathered and fierce face showed no pity. Instead, a ferocious and satisfied smile slowly crept onto his face.
"Hehe...hehehehe..." A low laugh squeezed out of his throat, carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement and twisted pleasure.
He recalled the fierce battle not long ago, in which his two most valiant lieutenants, Zhao Hu and Qian Bin, were killed by the six women who had just been resurrected during the siege of the Lin family. They were his trusted confidants, capable of leading independently. Such a heavy loss would have been heartbreaking for any general, and could even have affected the morale of the army.
But Guo Yu is different.
His gaze passed over the corpses of Zhao Hu and Qian Bin, finally settling on the stage, on the six delicate bodies that had just lost their breath.
Lin Xiaowan, Lin Xuan, Lin Xiaohong, Lin Xiaoyan, Bai Jie, and Bai Mei—they were all experts in the Earth Realm, but sadly, they are now all cold, naked corpses.
Even though their clothes were stained with blood, their hair disheveled, and the black blood spilling from their mouths marred their beauty, Guo Yu could still recognize them. These Earth Realm experts, with their ghostly movements and ruthless attacks, had caused his rebel army considerable suffering. What frustrated him even more was that these six Lin girls were "immortal"! Just moments before, after being killed by Zhao Hu and Qian Bin's stage traps and archers, they had resurrected. If Guo Yu hadn't taken advantage of their inability to consolidate their cultivation levels, and if the poison on the stage hadn't still suppressed their cultivation, he wouldn't have been able to use the giant winch crossbow cart—special equipment of the Sixteen Guards of Great Zhou, which he had traded from powerful families—to deal with Earth Realm experts. He simply couldn't have killed these six Great Zhou female spies, all of whom possessed Earth Realm strength, again!
"Earth Realm... Heh, so what if you're in the Earth Realm?" Guo Yu licked his slightly chapped lips, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Even if you've undergone a phoenix rebirth, I, Guo Yu, can still make you die again!"
His gaze shifted to the hundreds of massive, complex war machines not far behind him—the standard-issue giant winch crossbow carts of the Sixteen Guards of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Their dark metallic sheen gleamed with a chilling killing intent in the setting sun. The enormous crossbow bolts were as thick as an adult's arm, their arrowheads flashing a cold, eerie blue light, clearly coated with potent poison or imbued with armor-piercing runes.
This was not equipment that ordinary rebels could possess. To obtain it, Guo Yu had nearly emptied his pockets from previous raids and made dirty deals with several powerful families secretly coveting the Great Zhou dynasty, paying an unimaginable price. Those powerful families needed chaos, needed someone to draw the court's attention, while Guo Yu needed power strong enough to overturn everything.
As it turned out, the deal was worthwhile.
Just now, the six women of the Lin family, like six streaks of azure lightning, revived with the speed of Earth Realm experts. It was Guo Yu who, without hesitation, ordered the long-prepared winches to fire simultaneously!
That was a force far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people to withstand. The enormous crossbow bolt, whistling through the air, moved with incredible speed, ignoring the exquisite movements and protective inner energy of the six Lin women. A piercing scream rang out (or perhaps not, as the speed was so great that the sound was torn apart), and the six agile figures plummeted to the ground like kites with broken strings, their lives extinguished. This time, it was truly over. The domineering crossbow bolt not only pierced their bodies, but the armor-piercing and tearing effects it carried were enough to destroy the very source of their life force.
"Zhao Hu, Qian Bin..." Guo Yu murmured the names of the two lieutenants, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a greater sense of accomplishment. "Your deaths were worth it!"
He lost two key generals, a heavy price to pay. But he succeeded; he once again, and "easily," killed these six girls from the Earth Realm! These six, who had repeatedly gathered intelligence on them, had dealt a heavy blow to his army. These women, possessing Earth Realm strength, posed a far greater threat than even the imperial court and his own commanders of ten thousand! Commanders of ten thousand might command more troops, but in terms of individual destructive power and combat strength, these six women of the Lin family were undoubtedly superior.
The sheer thrill of personally annihilating six such formidable opponents, the overwhelming sense of control and crushing of foes, sent shivers down Guo Yu's spine. This was not merely a victory in battle, but a testament to his strength and resolve, a record of his loyalty to those powerful clans, and the strongest declaration of his rebel army's might to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Pass on my orders!" Guo Yu turned around abruptly, his ferocious smile widening, his voice booming across the battlefield, "Clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and hang these six naked corpses high on the city wall so that the people can witness the tragic end of the female experts from the Great Zhou Realm!"
His voice was filled with unquestionable authority and ambition. The corpses and blood beneath his feet seemed to be the steps leading to the pinnacle of power. The deaths of the six Lin women were like a shot in the arm, injected into the heart of Guo Yu and his rebel army.
As the sun sank completely below the horizon, night began to fall, enveloping the blood-soaked battlefield. Guo Yu's figure appeared exceptionally lonely under the waning moon, yet possessed a chilling madness. He knew the road ahead remained fraught with danger, but at this moment, a raging fire burned within him, a desire to conquer all. The massive crossbows, which had distinguished themselves in battle, stood silently in the night, like predatory beasts, heralding the arrival of a turbulent era.
