"However, this place is still quite a distance away from Hua Yang. Ordinary soldiers would not have been able to get there before Meng Ao arrived. Only the martial arts practitioners of Jianghu could catch up with this trip. I'm afraid that we would have to trouble Young Hero Jing and the other heroes of the Sword Alliance." No matter which of the six armies it was, they would be able to gain the upper hand and if they were to miss which road, it would likely cause a dispute. Therefore, the only way to avoid this dispute was to let Jing Ke lead the men of the Sword Alliance and take over the position.

But how could anyone guess what he was thinking? They assumed that what he said was true, and coupled with the fact that he had always been respectful towards Jing Ke, Sun Pa's arrangement was completely meaningless. He immediately looked at Jing Ke. Jing Ke then cupped his fists and said, "Jing Ke will definitely try his best to fulfill the request of Old Senior Sun, he won't disappoint the wishes of the generals."

Sun Pa nodded his head, casually picked up an arrow from the table, and said to Jing Ke: "Young Hero Jing should be careful on the way." After giving his instructions, he said, "Go." Then Jing Ke received the command arrow, and together with the heroes of the Assassin's Alliance, they departed for the night.

Although they were being chased by the alliance members of the Pill Sword Alliance led by Jing Ke, there were at least dense forests surrounding them. In addition, the Qin soldiers were originally very familiar with the area around the Qin Mountains, so they had to find their own paths and retreat, thus their losses were not too heavy. Only after gathering and dispersing for about six hours did they meet up at Shouyang Mountain.

Zhou Tianzi ordered for people to attack. Neither of them was willing to receive any food from the Zhou Dynasty, so they spent all day eating the grass on the mountain. In the end, they starved to death on this mountain. However, every time the two of them visited this place, the first rays of the morning sun would fall upon this place. The two of them sighed at the magnificence of this scene and named this place "Head Sun Mountain". Because the summit of Shouyang Mountain was wide and spacious, allowing the army to rest and repair themselves, Meng Ao had sent out a secret order early in the morning, ordering all the troops to meet at this mountain.

The night had arrived, but the wilderness was empty and clean. The sky was filled with tens of thousands of stars. Even though it was night time, the surrounding scenery was still clear. Meng Ao stood at the top of the mountain in an open area, looking at each other with the wind. Although he appeared to be in a sorry state after the fierce battle in the day, his messy hair fluttered in the wind, which made him look quite handsome. He looked at the colorful Five Flower Stone in the valley, and then saw the Green Stone Cliff suddenly standing tall and unyielding. He could not help but exclaim, "Such a magnificent scenery, no wonder Uncle Qi and Uncle Yi would rather die than let this week drop. General Pang, if I am to be defeated in battle, I might as well rely on this mountain for my rest. "

Upon hearing Meng Ao's words, Pang liang, who was standing at the side, said worriedly, "How can a great general still be so charming and jovial when he's in such a hurry to fight?"

"Hehehe, General Pang, you can be considered an experienced general. Don't you know that the ancient people are heartless? How many people were able to return safely from the ancient wars? It's time to plan for your own future affairs. " Meng Ao laughed out loud. His words didn't seem to care about the current predicament at all. It was just that this time, he knew that his formidable opponent was Sun Po. In this moment of unknown life and death, he couldn't help but have this kind of feeling.

"General, there is no need for you to say such dejected words. Although our Qin army has been defeated, we still have the main force. As long as we can safely return to Xianyang, we can definitely make a comeback in the future." Seeing Meng Ao's ambitious heart being thwarted, Pang shui comforted him from the side.

"I hope that, as General Pang said, we will be able to safely overcome this tribulation." If it was in the past, then this wild act would have naturally been filled with ambition, but this time, it was against Sun Pa. Naturally, he had no idea. Pang Liao had said that he had a chance to make a comeback, but Meng Ao knew very well that even if he returned to Qin, and he lost, the Duke of Qin would not let him off lightly.

Pang liang saw that Meng Ao still lacked confidence and could not help but ask doubtfully, "I wonder if the great general is going to enter the Qin Realm from Shouyang Mountain?"

Unexpectedly, Meng Ao shook his head and laughed: "Otherwise, I would have retreated to the Shouyang Mountain area in order to let the six armies mistakenly believe that I would return to Qin from Shouyang Mountain and the Four Seasons Tower, and then I would have Xing Yumiao head to the Dao of Huayin and enter the Qin Realm to return to Xianyang."

"Hua Yin Dao?" He did not dare to believe that he could actually hear these three words as he hurriedly asked, "Great General, do you know that this place is even more dangerous than Corridor Pass? If we don't hit the target of Sun Pa's ambush, then our entire army will be annihilated!"

Meng Ao grinned and said: "I know that the Hua Yin Dao is extremely dangerous, and there is no return. However, we don't have enough food and supplies, so we have to take this shortcut to get back to Xianyang for supplies. What's more, soldiers often said that they had to put their lives on the line to survive. Sun Pai knew that I was an old general who had led the army for many years, and would certainly not take the risk of doing so. Furthermore, I had purposely abandoned the Corridor Pass to bypass the Qinling Mountains in order to tell him that. Therefore, if Sun Pai sends someone to intercept him, he will definitely choose the Shouyang Mountain area. "

Pang shui seemed to feel that there was nothing wrong with his words. However, he was still a bit worried as he said: "Even so, we are just not afraid of ten thousand. We are just afraid that if there is a chance, General should split up and carry out the task appropriately."

When Meng Ao heard this, he somewhat unhappily said: "The soldiers of my Qin Nation followed me all the way from the outside. How could they just leave them behind? Even if they were to be interrupted, they will die together!"

His shout was heard clearly by the generals standing behind him. They shouted together, "We are willing to die with the general, even if we die with no regrets!" The generals cried out in unison, their voices overlapping each other. The Qin soldiers standing in groups heard their words and shouted together, "We shall live and die together, even if we die with no regrets!" The sounds of the crowd were like thunder, lingering endlessly. Upon hearing it, one's blood would boil endlessly.

Pang liang, seeing that the soldiers were of one mind, had no choice but to give up. He said somewhat helplessly, "That's fine, I hope Great General Sun can hide this strange move of yours from Sun Biao." Pang Liao's father, Pang Xiaozhu, had died at the hands of Sun Pai. Naturally, he knew how mysterious Sun Pai was. Although he admired Sun Pai's talent, he couldn't let go of his father's death. He had no choice but to take revenge and join Qin to control Sun Pai. However, at this moment, he felt as if he had become a bird whose life was in danger. He could fall into the abyss at any moment. When he thought about how his father had killed himself while drawing the sword under the locust tree in the Ma Ling Road, and how the miserable scene was about to happen again on him, he felt sad.

"Since the armies share the same sentiments as me, I will never be able to avenge them!" At this time, Meng Ao felt as if his blood was boiling. Even if he were to die instantly at the hands of Sun Pai, he had no regrets. Cultivation of the halberd, with son and hatred! "Let's go!"

Meng Ao knew that his army's speed was high, so he drew his sword and pointed it straight at the sky. With a loud shout, he mounted his horse and went straight to the Huayin Road. All the soldiers shouted together, "Zi Ri Wuyi, be with Zi Ri! "I will cultivate my halberd, and share my vengeance with my son!" These few lines of poem followed closely behind Meng Ao. Their steps were organized along with the other's, and the sound of stamping echoed throughout the valley like thunder.

Meng Ran used the Battle Song's words to lead the troops and boosted the morale of the Qin soldiers. Although they were hungry, under the boost of morale, they unexpectedly marched through the mountains as if they were flying on flat ground. In just one night, they reached the Hua Yin Road. Meng Ao raised his head and looked at the blood-red sky, then looked at the Hua Yin Road in front of him. He saw a rugged and narrow road that looked like a heavenly road that rose into the clouds, and at the two ends of this road were cliffs so high that one could not see the top. Meng Ao and his horse looked at each other. They only felt that this road that led to hell was like a terrifying and sinister demon barrier. If someone stopped them on this road, it would be difficult for them to survive even if they had three heads and six arms. As he thought of this, an indescribable fear appeared in his heart. Fortunately, when he looked at the surroundings of the cliff more carefully, it was as steep as a cliff and there was no place to land. Therefore, he determined that no one could climb up.

After a night of travel, the Qin soldiers were already exhausted. Furthermore, it was incredibly difficult for them to march on this steep and rugged road. Thus, the Qin troops slowed down and walked about half the distance that was required for two hours. Meng Ao looked back and saw a dense crowd of soldiers following closely behind like an unreachable snake that was lingering on the mountain. He once again raised his head and looked into the sky. He saw that at this moment, the first ray of the red sun had already scattered down from the other side of the Shouyang Mountain. In the blink of an eye, it had reached the Hua Yin Dao. Meng Ao chuckled and said to Pang shui, "General Pang, look at how beautiful the first rays of the setting sun are. No wonder Bo Yi and Shu Qi are unwilling to go down the mountain."

Pang Liangliang didn't have the heart to have fun with Meng Ao. He frowned as he urged, "General, let's hurry up. If Sun Pai's men catch up, we can see that we're going to die without a burial ground."

Meng Ran nodded and continued to lead the way. However, just as he took a few steps forward, he heard a rumbling sound above his head. Meng Ao and the other soldiers were shocked. They hurriedly looked up and saw a black mass of things pressing down like a dark cloud above them. However, before the black clouds arrived, the rustling dust that accompanied the rumbling had already scattered onto the bodies of the soldiers.

"It's Falling Stone!" Some of the soldiers shouted loudly, and everyone quickly reacted, frantically looking for a place to hide. However, the path of darkness was narrow, and it was a one-man walk, so where else could they hide? Everyone began to push and step on each other, immediately becoming a crowd of pressure. When the rock fell, it had already smashed Qin Jun's brain and bones into pieces.

In a split-second, miserable wails of pain engulfed the entire rugged road. The wails were transmitted out from the crevices of the cliff and were then returned to the nearby mountains, overlapping and reverberating nonstop. Meng Ao was suddenly stupefied by the tragic scene in front of him. He would never have imagined that there was indeed an ambush arranged by Sun Pai. However, the surrounding cliffs were more than a thousand feet high, and how did Sun Xun's men get up there? Was there really a heavenly army? How could he have known that the ambushing soldiers on the cliff were not ordinary soldiers, but many of the experts of the Sword Crafting Alliance. Among these people, most of them had the flying technique of light speed, such as Thief, Jing Ke, Tian Gan, Gao Jianli, and the others. Some of them didn't have much light speed, so after these people climbed up a rope, they would be able to climb up.

After the falling rocks fell down, more than half of Qin Bing was already dead. Among them, the number of those who dodged or took a step and died could be counted on one hand. While he was still in a daze, he suddenly heard an assistant general beside him shout, "Great General, be careful!" Following which, Meng Ao was sent flying to the ground, while he himself was sent flying by the flying rock. His internal organs were all smashed apart, and he died from spitting out blood.

Meng Ao sat up and looked at the mangled corpse. He was filled with grief as he thought to himself: If he didn't ruthlessly break Sun Bat, how could this deputy general die because of him? However, just as he was grieving, many ropes suddenly hung down from the sky, followed by a group of cloth-clothed soldiers descending from the sky like a wind. When they reached the bottom of the Hua Yin Road, they all roared, took out the weapons tied to their backs, and slashed at the Qin soldiers who were already in a mess.

Although there were only four or five hundred members in the alliance, they were all experts from a hundred different sects. How could Qin Bing be a match for these people? Moreover, how could they have expected the speed of the movement of the members of the 'Assassin Sword Alliance'? With a leap, their hands raised and blades fell, causing blood to fly in all directions. Broken limbs flew all over the sky as miserable screams intertwined with each other, causing people to feel a chill in their hearts when they heard it.

The tens of thousands of soldiers that Meng Ao sent back to the Central Plains were originally brothers that had been with Meng Ao for many years. However, in just a moment, tens of thousands of soldiers had been slaughtered by the alliance members of the Sword Alliance, leaving them in a mess. Meng Ao, with his position in the upper reaches of the Dao of Hua-Yang, watched as this group of soldiers, who were like brothers, took their lives. He felt as if his heart was filled with thousands of blades and swords were twisting in his chest as tears welled up in his eyes. After he had finished speaking, he suddenly threw his head back and laughed loudly, "Zi Ri Wu Yi is also in the same robe as your son! "I will cultivate my halberd, and share my vengeance with my son!"

At this moment, Jing Ke was also fighting in the middle of the crowd, when he suddenly heard Meng Ao laughing loudly in the distance, he immediately focused and saw that Meng Ao suddenly pulled out his long sword as he laughed loudly, and actually slashed towards his own neck! When Jing Ke saw this, he was already shocked, and immediately used his two feet to touch the bluestone on the cliff, flying forward to grab his sword, but who would have thought, even if he was even faster with his Eight Movement Techniques, in the face of this sudden turn of events, he was still a step too late. The blade's cold light flashed past his neck, and what was left of him was only a pillar of blood, and he quickly died. However, he killed himself with the help of a stone. Even though he was dead, he still killed himself with the help of the stone.
