Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 129 The Three Kingdoms Era

The last glimmer of hope they had held onto crumbled at that moment.

Even Ying Zheng was slightly taken aback at this moment, reaching out to touch his neck, a look of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Soon, this moment of surprise was replaced by ecstasy.

Ying Zheng's eyes gleamed brightly, and he laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

"Hahaha----"

Laughter echoed in all directions, carrying boundless arrogance and exhilaration.

"The Mandate of Heaven rests with me, and with the power of the Divine Lord, what can you ants do to me?!"

After this incident, Zhang Liang and the others were terrified and went into hiding, trying to evade the Qin soldiers' search.

Just when they were in despair and thought there was no chance left, they met a young Western woman by chance.

This mysterious woman, whom we don't know, actually possesses the power of a curse seal.

Zhang Liang and his companions made a final, desperate gamble.

Soon, taking advantage of the opportunity they had been searching for, the mysterious Western woman cast a curse seal.

Under their shocked gazes, Ying Zheng was covered in mud and then turned into a terracotta figurine, clearly sealed by the curse!

Zhang Liang and the others were overjoyed.

Although we cannot kill this tyrant, as long as he is not around, the Qin Dynasty is not a threat!

Soon, with Ying Zheng being cursed and sealed away, the Qin Dynasty fell into chaos.

To Su Chen's astonishment, everything returned to normal.

Hu Hai, Zhao Gao, Li Si, and others seized power.

When Hu Hai ascended the throne as the Second Emperor of Qin, his first act was to use a forged imperial edict to order the deaths of Fusu, Meng Tian, ​​Meng Yi, and others.

After dealing with Fusu and others, Huhai did nothing but kill, killing all his brothers and sisters.

In 209 BC, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang launched an uprising, with the slogan "Are kings and nobles born with special privileges?" The former nobles of the six states responded one after another.

Xiang Yu raised an army, Liu Bang raised an army —

During this process, Zhao Gao, who wanted to control Qin Er Shi and seize power, found an opportunity to order the death of Li Si, who was blocking his way.

In 208 BC, Li Si was sentenced to five punishments and cut in half at the waist in Xianyang, and his entire clan was exterminated.

With Li Si dead, no one in the Qin Dynasty could restrain Zhao Gao, and the country descended into complete chaos.

In 207 BC, the Qin Dynasty fell.

In the Battle of Julu, Xiang Yu broke the cauldrons and sank the boats, leading the Chu army in a desperate battle, annihilating the main force of the Qin army, capturing Wang Li alive, and forcing Zhang Han to surrender. The last elite force of the Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

Su Chen witnessed Zhao Gao launching a coup, forcing Qin Er Shi (Hu Hai) to commit suicide. Zhao Gao wanted to establish himself as emperor, but the officials refused, so he had no choice but to install Ziying as emperor.

We also saw Liu Bang lead his army into Xianyang, and Ziying surrendered in a plain carriage with a white horse.

The Qin Dynasty officially collapsed, lasting only 14 years.

The struggle for supremacy between Chu and Han began in 206 BC.

Xiang Yu massacred 200,000 surrendered Qin soldiers, entered Xianyang, killed Ziying, and burned the Epang Palace, the fire raging for three months.

At the Feast at Hongmen, Liu Bang narrowly escaped death.

Afterwards, Xiang Yu declared himself the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, enfeoffed eighteen vassal kings, appointed Liu Bang as the King of Han, and drove him into Ba and Shu, thus officially starting the Chu-Han Contention.

The Chu-Han Contention ended in 202 BC.

Liu Bang, together with Han Xin, Peng Yue, and Ying Bu, besieged Xiang Yu at the Battle of Gaixia. Surrounded on all sides, Xiang Yu committed suicide at the Wujiang River.

Liu Bang declared himself emperor and prepared to establish the Han Dynasty.

Above the misty mountain.

Watching this scene unfold, Su Chen was speechless, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

In particular, the mysterious woman from the West who possessed the magic of curse sealing gave him a sense of familiarity.

"That guy Ying Zheng—"

"Was this a plot device that killed off the character?"

Otherwise, there's no way to explain how this woman who possesses curse magic came to be.

The other party appeared in accordance with destiny, just to deal with the unexpected factor of Ying Zheng.

Otherwise, with such a sparse spiritual energy here, how could anyone possess such a level of curse-sealing witchcraft?

Su Chen shook his head.

His gaze swept far into the distance, seemingly piercing through layers of mountains, cities, and the earth to see the place buried deep underground.

Deep underground, it was dark and silent.

There was no light, and there was no sound.

The Terracotta Army is arranged in a solemn and orderly manner, with chariots standing in rows.

On one of the carriages, a terracotta figurine was quietly placed.

The terracotta figures, with their frozen expressions and dignified faces, exude an imperial aura, clearly resembling the First Emperor Zhao Zheng and Ying Zheng.

Looking at the terracotta figurine and sensing the aura of destiny surrounding Ying Zheng, Su Chen sighed.

He could vaguely sense that the day the Terracotta Army was unearthed would be the day Ying Zheng broke free from his destiny, escaped the curse and seal, and awakened.

Watching the whole process unfold, he hesitated several times about whether or not to intervene.

If he were to make a move, that mysterious Western woman would be nothing; he could kill her with a single breath.

Alternatively, mobilizing the power of the Azure Dragon's seven constellations to empower Ying Zheng with the Mandate of Heaven could also counteract the Mandate of Heaven to some extent.

In the end, he still chose not to take action.

After a while.

Su Chen's gaze turned to Liu Bang, who was establishing the Han Dynasty, and his expression was somewhat strange.

The Qin Dynasty revered black, which corresponds to the element of water, and the First Emperor Ying Zheng could also be called the son of the White Emperor.

Liu Bang, that guy, claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor.

Liu Bang publicized an event: the story of the Red Emperor's son slaying the white snake.

Liu Bang was escorting convicts to Mount Li. Many of them escaped along the way, so Liu Bang simply released them all and fled into Mount Mangdang with a dozen or so people who were willing to follow him.

On the way, they encountered a large white snake blocking their path. Taking advantage of his drunkenness, Liu Bang cleaved the snake in two with a single sword stroke.

Someone came from behind and saw an old woman crying, saying, "My son is the son of the White Emperor. He transformed into a snake and blocked the way. Now he has been slain by the son of the Red Emperor."

After saying that, the old woman disappeared.

The White Emperor's son symbolizes Ying Zheng, and Qin belongs to the element of water, which is associated with the color black, thus also corresponding to the White Emperor.

The son of the Red Emperor symbolizes Liu Bang, and is associated with the element of fire and the color red.

Fire overcomes water.

This means that Liu Bang, being the son of the Red Emperor, was destined to destroy Qin and eliminate the son of the White Emperor.

Of course, none of that matters. What's outrageous is that they tried to ride on the coattails of fame and claim they were destined for greatness.

Liu Bang directly invoked the Five Elements theory.

The Azure Dragon of the East represents the Wood element.

Wood generates fire.

It can also be said that the fire element of the Red Emperor was born from the wood element of the Azure Dragon.

Liu Bang claimed to be the son of the Red Emperor, or the grandson of the Azure Dragon.

Good heavens, he suddenly has an extra grandson!

Watching Liu Bang, who was holding a grand sacrificial ceremony during the establishment of the Han Dynasty, with a proud and smug look on his face, Su Chen's lips twitched.

This guy really dares to take advantage of anything.

Shaking his head, Ying Zheng fell asleep amidst the terracotta warriors, too lazy to reveal anything further.

Su Chen closed his eyes and silently comprehended the Dao Fruits of Reincarnation, Past, Present, and Future, as well as absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.

Time passed slowly like this.

The Han Dynasty saw successive emperors rise and fall, continuing until the end of the Han Dynasty.

During this process, he saw the Mandate of Heaven transfer to a guy named Liu Xiu.

Because he was granted the mandate of heaven, Liu Xiu created a series of miracles, forcibly prolonging the life of the Han Dynasty.

However, no matter how long it continued, the Han Dynasty would eventually come to an end.

The Three Kingdoms period began.

Su Chen saw Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and others, and he also saw their discussions about him.
