Chapter 35 Calling the Wind and Rain
Chapter 35 Calling the Wind and Rain
What are immortals and gods?
Countless people have different ideas, but one thing is clear: those who can ride the clouds are immortals!
"They are immortals and gods!"
"There are gods among those moth thieves!"
"The Holy Venerable Huangtian!"
"..."
Shouts rose and fell from the city walls.
Everyone, including Liu Hong, guessed that the young man was definitely the legendary Zhonghuang Taiyi God who protected the moth thieves.
"...Riding the clouds and mist?"
Liu Hong's mind went blank for a moment, caught between anxiety about defending the city and an intense longing for immortal techniques.
His close advisors weren't much better off. Although they had already confirmed the existence of immortals from Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo, who had fled back to Luoyang, witnessing immortals performing magic with their own eyes was another matter entirely.
Especially the older ministers, Yang Ci, Zhang Wen, and Yuan Kui, all unconsciously became heavy-hearted in their breathing.
If there are immortals and immortal techniques, does that mean there is immortality?
"Brother, it seems we're facing a True Immortal?" Behind Liu Bei, the mighty and valiant Zhang Fei quietly tugged at Liu Bei's sleeve and whispered.
Guan Yu, standing to the side, also looked at Liu Bei. Although he believed that he was no match for a hundred or so men, he did not feel any different from an ordinary mortal when facing an immortal.
Liu Bei swallowed hard and replied in a low voice, "Death is inevitable since ancient times. To protect Your Majesty and repay the kindness shown to you, what does it matter if I die? No matter how powerful an immortal is, it's just a matter of giving him my head to kill!"
Liu Bei was promoted by Emperor Liu Hong, and his most trusted generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally also rose in rank, each receiving a military promotion. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Liu Hong was kind to them.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
In this era, people value loyalty and filial piety, and believe that kindness must be repaid and hatred must be avenged. The three of them must repay the emperor's kindness.
Liu Bei whispered, "That Yellow Heavenly God is incredibly powerful, and I am deeply uneasy. I fear that Luoyang, this fortified city, cannot hold out for long. We must keep a close eye on the situation. If Luoyang falls, immediately take His Majesty and flee towards Dongyang Gate, where there are far fewer enemy troops. Do you understand?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei replied, "Understood."
Liu Bei turned his head to look outside the city again. As his gaze wandered, he suddenly met Yuan Shao's eyes. Liu Bei was taken aback and nodded slightly. He knew Yuan Shao. He came from the Yuan family, which had produced four generations of high-ranking officials, and was a famous scholar in the capital. He had long wanted to befriend him.
However, Yuan Shao clearly had no intention of befriending him, especially under such special circumstances. Seeing Liu Bei nod in acknowledgment but not respond, he simply looked away expressionlessly, thinking to himself.
'Immortals truly exist in this world. Can Luoyang really be preserved? It seems I still have to go ahead with my plan and leave for another state…'
On the other side, the beautiful Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, inhaling the chilly wind of the overcast day, and shivered. 'Immortals! This world is truly absurd…'
Sun Jian, no longer displaying his usual invincible composure, instinctively gripped the ring-pommel sword at his waist. A sense of relief welled up within him. 'Thankfully, His Majesty didn't agree to my request to lead the army that day; otherwise, I might have been captured and killed by those bandits long ago if I had led the main force alone.'
Although he was reckless, he wasn't stupid. Faced with unpredictable immortals, he felt that playing it safe was acceptable...
On the city wall, the ministers and generals had different thoughts, and the atmosphere gradually became inexplicable.
Meanwhile, Huang Tian stood atop the high platform, gazing up at the sky. The sky was overcast, with wisps of dark clouds gathering, suggesting rain was imminent but hesitated to fall. 'After waiting for several days, the rainy day has finally arrived…'
A smile appeared on his lips, and he gently tapped his right index finger in mid-air. Brilliant golden light bloomed from his fingertip, and wisps of spiritual energy attracted all the moisture in the world.
This is... the Lesser Cloud Rain Technique!
Although the name contains the character "小" (xiao), if the performance is performed on a rainy day, then the character "小" can be completely removed.
"The wind is coming!"
The clear sound spread throughout the fields and rang in everyone's ears.
Hehe~
First came a bleak, cold wind, followed by a fierce gale that swept in from the depths of Mangshan Mountain, with the force to overturn everything, blowing sand and stones into the air, making tall trees sway and banners flutter!
Liu Hong and his ministers on the city wall were blown backward by the strong wind. Sand and dust got into their eyes, making it impossible for them to open them. Their faces were full of fear.
Liu Bei suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Liu Hong's arm, shouting loudly, his voice growing fainter in the wind, "Your Majesty, the false god is likely unleashing a powerful spell! We must retreat quickly, lest we be harmed by his demonic magic!!"
Liu Hong nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes! Go down quickly!"
He clutched his swaying crown and, looking panicked, ran towards the city gate under Liu Bei's protection. However, the soldiers on the city gate also wanted to leave, but there were too many of them, and they got stuck together, pushing and shoving each other, and for a moment no one could get down.
Seeing that there was no other way, some soldiers knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed to the heavens, or lay on the ground, hugging their heads and trembling.
"Don't block the way! Don't block the way! Let His Majesty go down first!"
Liu Bei shouted loudly, but no one paid any attention. He dared not rashly draw his sword to kill and clear a path. Under such circumstances, he did not know how those irrational soldiers would react. If they drew their swords to fight back, the safety of Liu Hong and his ministers would be in jeopardy.
Chaos reigned on the city walls.
Below the city, the wind howled as Huang Tian’s clothes fluttered in the wind, but he paid no heed. He shouted “Rain is coming!” again. At that moment, dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky, turning into a deep black ink. The clouds hung low and churned, as if brewing something terrifying.
Pata ~ Pata ~
Raindrops fell from the sky, landing softly on the small flags planted around the high platform. Then, the rain intensified, turning the world into a white curtain that obscured the view of countless people.
The wind howled and the rain poured down, as if the world had been turned upside down. Chaos broke out on the walls of Luoyang, with everyone scrambling for a way down the city walls and running like madmen.
Sun Jian was a bold man. If he couldn't deal with Huang Tianshen, he could surely handle a few soldiers. He immediately drew his sword and, with a ferocious expression, slashed at the neck of a disarmed young man. Splatter, hot blood gushed out, and the headless corpse fell heavily into the cold rain, splashing up glistening droplets.
"Get out of my way, all of you!!"
He roared and cleared a path with his sword, cutting down anyone who stood in his way. Although most of his personal guards were scattered by the crowd, a few still followed him closely. The guards also swung their swords wildly, and limbs flew everywhere on the horse path leading to the city gate, like a scene from hell.
Just then, someone shouted a curse in the pouring rain. Sun Jian vaguely recognized it as a curse directed at him. He glared at the source of the sound, and his pupils suddenly contracted as a crossbow bolt flashed with a cold light and pierced his left eye with a soft thud.
"Ouch, it hurts so much!!"
Clutching the crossbow bolt that pierced his left eye, blood gushing from between his fingers, Sun Jian let out a ghostly howl...
