I really became a king.

Chapter 364 The Secret of the Ninety-Nine Adopted Sons

A colorful bridge spans the sky. It is very beautiful, but to Akagi and others, it is a nightmare.

Because on this bridge of the starry sky, with flags waving, an army of tens of thousands of people crossed over and blocked their way in an instant.

"This...what kind of magical power is this?"

Moro from the Xifan Dynasty stared at the Starry Sky Bridge in disbelief. This method has in a sense gone beyond the scope of martial arts and can only appear in ancient legends.

At this moment, he finally understood why the higher-ups were so wary of Prince Daliyi.

"Mao Wenhuan!"

Chixu gritted his teeth as he looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers blocking his way, especially the figure in front, his eyes were full of hatred and a hint of regret.

"I regret it. I should have killed you before and shouldn't have kept you alive until now!"

Facing Chixu's words, Mao Wenhuan sighed and said, "You regret it? I regret it even more. I shouldn't have given in to you from the beginning, which led to you becoming arrogant and independent."

"For many years, you and I have been as close as brothers, but from today on, our brotherhood is over and all ties are severed!" After saying this, he raised his knife and a strip of cloth fluttered in the wind.

Then he became murderous, his beard stood up, and he shouted: "In the name of Prince Fengyi, Chixu raised troops and established himself, surrendered to the enemy, and was charged with treason and executed immediately!"

After saying this, without any further ado, he led the charge towards Chixu, with dozens of other generals leading tens of thousands of troops following closely behind.

There was no intention to persuade the thousands of personal soldiers around Akasu to surrender, because these people were the opponent's trusted warriors and would never turn against them.

At the same time, a figure rode out from the army of tens of thousands and headed straight for the Western Demon Realm Pass.

"Red iron!"

Chi Xu looked at the figure and felt extremely uneasy, but facing the tens of thousands of soldiers charging at him, he had no way to escape. He could only lead his troops to kill them. Of course, before charging, he did not forget to promise the thousands of his own soldiers something like "a reward of ten thousand taels of gold, and a promotion of three levels."

However, Moro kept retreating at this moment until he completely withdrew from the battle circle.

I don’t know if he received any instructions, but Mao Wenhuan acted as if he didn’t see it and just threw it aside like an irrelevant passerby.

Looking at the more than 10,000 troops engaged in a brutal battle in an instant, and looking up at the figure rushing towards the Western Demon Realm Pass, Moro knew that his trip was a complete failure.

The Demon Realm Pass, the great pass that had stood before them since ancient times, once again became an insurmountable chasm. The strategic intention of the Xiban Dynasty and even the other three border dynasties to seek water from the Central Plains was once again aborted.

The moment the two armies came into contact, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and could be heard clearly even at the Western Demon Realm Pass ten miles away.

In fact, long before Chixu arrived, the Western Demon Realm Pass had received Chixu's carrier pigeon order, and the 100,000-strong army was ready to go and had left the barracks.

The leader was Chi Lie, the eldest of the ninety-nine adopted sons of Chi Xu. He looked elegant and was about thirty years old, but he exuded the bloodthirsty aura of a veteran of many battles.

After seeing Chitie and his horse, Chilie waved his hand and temporarily stopped the charge, allowing Chitie to come to the front of the army.

"Youngest, you shouldn't betray your adoptive father no matter what."

Looking at Chi Tie, the youngest of the ninety-nine brothers, Chi Lie sighed.

At this time, Chi Tie had already rode up on his horse, and there was only a few meters between the two of them.

Chi Tie did not speak immediately. Instead, he glanced forward silently. The 100,000-strong army on the opposite side was led by his elder brother Chi Lie. Behind him, dozens of young warriors lined up in a row. A rough count showed that there were as many as sixty or seventy people.

These young warriors, like him, were all one of the ninety-nine adopted sons of Akagi. However, they no longer had the brotherhood they once had and glared at him angrily.

However, sixty or seventy people standing in a row are truly heroic.

Once upon a time, he was also one of them, and was deeply proud of it. Because in the entire Demon Realm, everyone knew that Chixu's ninety-nine adopted sons were all good men who fought in the battlefields of foreign races, and they were proud to die on the battlefield.

Moreover, they did so indeed. They were the sharpest swords in the entire Western Xinjiang, and they would never retreat wherever the swords pointed, no matter how hard they tried!

But now it seems that all this is a joke. They are just pawns in Akashi's hands, and pawns that are destined not to live long.

These ninety-nine people were not the first adopted sons of Akashi. Long before them, thirty or forty people had died on the battlefield in the name of Akashi's adopted sons.

For every person who died in battle, Chixu would adopt a new son to make up the number of ninety-nine.

Chi Tie never thought much about this, and even considered it a pride to die on the battlefield.

But just a month ago, by chance, he discovered the cruel truth hidden in it.

These so-called adopted sons were merely tools for Chixu's martial arts practice. Including the thirty or forty people who "died on the battlefield" mentioned above, they did not really die at the hands of aliens, but died at the hands of Chixu.

They were killed by Chixu's evil techniques to refine their blood and essence. Even their backgrounds were not orphans as Chixu said, but they were plundered by Chixu after careful selection.

In order to prevent future troubles, all their blood relatives were killed, and their memories were wiped out by a special secret method.

"For the sake of our brotherhood, you should end your life, youngest brother."

Chi Lie glanced at the battlefield several miles away and knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise his adoptive father might really be in danger.

Chitie's face was full of bitterness, and at the same time revealed a trace of deep hatred. He suddenly let out a shrill laugh, and took out a thick booklet from his arms. Without saying anything, he threw it directly to Chilie.

Chi Lie took the booklet, frowned, and opened it directly.

He just flipped through a few pages quickly, closed it, and handed the booklet to the other brothers behind him, while he closed his eyes in pain.

The booklet was passed quickly among Akasu's adopted sons. Each of them opened it, glanced at it, and then passed it to another person. All those who had read it had an expression of disbelief and pain.

"Where did you get this booklet?"

After a long time, Chi Lie opened his eyes and asked a question. The other sixty or seventy disciples also looked at Chi Tie.

Chi Tie smiled sadly and said, "What's the point of asking this... You just need to confirm whether this is our foster father's handwriting."

Suddenly, everyone, including Chi Lie, fell silent.

"In fact, if you want to verify whether this is true, it's very simple. Just take a look and the truth will be revealed..." After Chitie finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the battlefield a few miles away, and slowly ran towards the battlefield.

Chi Lie nodded to the people behind him, then rode his horse and followed, along with thirty or forty other Chixu adopted sons. The 100,000-man army, under the command of more than twenty other Chixu adopted sons, waited quietly in place.

On the battlefield, only less than a thousand of Chixu's personal troops were left, and Chixu became completely ferocious.

In fact, as early as when he saw Chixu riding alone towards the Western Demon Realm Pass, he had felt something was wrong. After seeing the 100,000-strong Demon Realm Pass army stop in their tracks, he understood everything.

He simply stopped hiding it, and the combat power of dozens of skinny, masked soldiers around him suddenly soared, and their strength directly soared to the sixth level of martial arts, and some of them even reached the seventh level directly.

"Huh?! This is..." Chi Lie and others who had already reached the edge of the battlefield all changed their expressions after seeing the martial arts used by these dozens of people.

His face showed a look of pain, and at this moment, a rumbling sound of horse hooves came from the distance, and a black mass of cavalry came from the east.
