Chapter 294: God’s First Drop Of Blood
He Junnian’s words were actually correct.
Speaking the Han language, wearing Hanfu, and following Han etiquette actually already makes one a Han person, and since ancient times, people have had a special explanation for their own people—China has the great etiquette, called Xia, and has the beauty of clothing and ornaments, called Hua.
In other words, as long as the barbarians meet the above conditions, they are actually already Han people.
Moreover, for many, many years, Gui Fang people have continuously intermarried with Han people, their appearances already have no difference from Han people, whether culture, etiquette, or various customs, all are no different from Han people. Therefore, He Junnian saying that Gui Fang people are Han people actually makes sense.
If such a group of people were placed in the history of the ancestral land, no matter how deep the hatred between them, over thousands of years, they would perhaps long ago have been integrated into the Han people group.
It’s just that Yun Ce is unwilling; he feels this planet is nice, with abundant products, not to mention that the Han people here are of the same ancestry and origin, it can be called the best second landing place for people from the ancestral land.
Resources this thing is actually just a pie; you cut one more piece, others get one less piece. As the representative from the ancestral land, he naturally does not allow the Han people group to accept outsiders again.
Even if accepting, it can only be people from the ancestral land.
After all, this place is so good; one mu of land can easily produce over ten thousand jin of grain, such a yield only appeared in that era when everyone was bragging. Now, there is a place that can perfectly realize the bragging they did back then; how can it be easily given to others?
Different interests, different positions; for people like He Junnian, they are naturally Yun Ce’s life-and-death archenemy!
1 So, Yun Ce raised the giant shield and charged at He Junnian once again; this time he really wanted He Junnian’s life.
1 He Junnian’s gleaming white like jade palm pressed on the giant shield again; this giant shield that Doggy specially cast with lead trembled once more from the immense force brought by He Junnian’s palm. The lead on the surface of the giant shield was stirred by the palm into layers of ripples; the stone slabs under Yun Ce’s feet shattered one after another, his feet pierced through the stone slabs and sank into the ground.
1 Huge force transmitted from the giant shield to his body, making his throat feel like it contained a red-hot saw blade, not only dry and itchy but also with surging blood qi throughout his body. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, forcibly steadying his posture, standing unmoving.
1 He Junnian made a “tsk tsk” sound, his palm appeared again; this time, it seemed like only a single press, yet the lead shield in Yun Ce’s hand issued three loud bangs in succession, and three clear palm prints appeared on the giant shield simultaneously.
1 The soft lead shield, under the clash of the two immense forces from Yun Ce and He Junnian, rolled forward; only halfway rolled, it shattered with a boom, countless lead blocks splashing to both sides.
1 Yun Ce could no longer hold on; his body flew backward like it had taken a heavy hammer blow. The blood in his body sprayed outward fiercely like it cost nothing, and at the same time, some things he had hidden in his bosom scattered out, littering the ground.
1 Fortunately, the open space beside the mountain road was large enough; after flying seven or eight zhang, Yun Ce landed on the ground. He Junnian did not chase over but turned back to look at the Divine Dragon Hall.
1 Liu Changsheng, clad in a black robe, walked out from the Dragon God Hall and came to the steps; he inserted both hands into his robe sleeves and said leisurely: “Using such a vicious hand against a junior, only you, He Junnian, could do it.”
1 He Junnian laughed: “Don’t think this junior of yours is young; his mind is very vicious. Although I don’t know why he used heavy lead plates to make the giant shield, I think there must be a reason; this old man has to guard against it.”
1 Liu Changsheng stretched his neck to look at He Junnian and said: “So, you’re saying you’re injured?”
2 He Junnian shook his head: “Currently no issues.”
2 “Since there’s nothing wrong, why use such a heavy hand?”
2 He Junnian’s face darkened: “A warning arose in my heart.”
2 Liu Changsheng said: “You should leave.”
2 He Junnian shook his head: “So many people wanted to kill me tonight; if I don’t settle it clearly, how will the world view this old man?”
2 Liu Changsheng sighed: “You have already spread Shehuo to Gui Fang, and you yourself receive worship at the Shehuo Festival. He Junnian, you are a grandmaster of a generation; with such deep killing intent, aren’t you afraid you won’t be able to take another step forward in this life?”
2 He Junnian sneered: “Only you, this millennium-old turtle, always think of appeasing matters. This old man was born in the wilderness, raised among wild beasts from childhood. Deer can only avoid falling into the mouth of doggy by constantly running; doggy can only scare away wild beasts stronger than them by gathering in groups.
2 The world is like this, and so are people; only by constantly tempering oneself and constantly growing stronger can one achieve one’s desired goals. You like being an old turtle, willing to accumulate your strength over long time; that’s your business. This old man is a fierce beast in this wilderness, needing to constantly kill to confirm his kingly status.”
2 Liu Changsheng looked at Yun Ce who was still spitting blood, raised his hand, and a thin fire chain flew out from the wide robe sleeve, heading straight for He Junnian’s chest.
2 He Junnian shouted angrily: “Liu Changsheng, just now in the Dragon God Hall, this old man considered your cultivation not easy and didn’t hold you accountable for borrowing the power of the ancestral fire, yet you really want to be enemies with this old man; then you cannot be spared.”
3 With that, he raised his hand and blocked that fire chain; the fire chain landed on his palm without damaging him in the slightest.
3 Liu Changsheng laughed: “Although Gui Fang also has Shehuo, the Shehuo is young with tender roots; if you abuse the power of Shehuo like this, it will likely bring disaster to your Gui Fang.”
3 He Junnian chuckled: “The young fire is newborn, yet innately possesses the power of nine dragons; even the ancestral fire cannot damage it in the slightest. What can you do to me?”
3 Liu Changsheng chuckled: “No wonder in the past century, the Great Han seems to have lost the protection of the Divine Dragon; turns out they all went to your side.”
3 He Junnian laughed loudly: “Sixty-three years ago was the last time the Divine Dragon showed grace to your Great Han, and yet your Great Han, for so many years, those in power have treated the common people as cattle and horses, slaughtering and killing them wantonly like cattle and horses, without any mercy. The rich and noble indulge in luxury and debauchery, exploit without restraint, have more than enough delicacies on jade plates themselves, yet unwilling to give half a mouthful to the hungry. The poor and lowly are full of selfish thoughts, and upon seeing others have excess, give rise to thoughts of theft and plunder. The weak do not pity the weak, only bully the even weaker.
3 The revered use power to plunder, the wise use wisdom to exploit, the warriors use strength to oppress; every class only strikes at the weaker ones, yet dares not swing a fist at the strong like Gui Fang.
3 In such a place without shame, without courage, without endurance, without virtue, how do you still dare to pray for the protection of the Divine Dragon?
3 Liu Changsheng, you treat the people of the world like this, and the people of the world will naturally treat you the same. Once my Gui Fang army completes the final purge, it will be the time of your Great Han’s extinction.”
3 Yun Ce was no longer spitting much blood and happened to hear He Junnian scolding Liu Changsheng like this; he felt He Junnian was quite right. From Yun Ce’s observations over these three years, He Junnian was not wrong; in the Great Han, he had indeed seen many revered, wise, and warriors whose behaviors were exactly as He Junnian described, no different.
3 In these three years, he had seen few good people, while bad people were endless in number.
4 If Yun Ce did not have his own position to uphold, if not for He Junnian treating human lives like weeds, following He Junnian might have a brighter future than following Liu Changsheng.
4 Yun Ce struggled to sit up; at this moment, his internal organs were all in pain. He Junnian’s last three palms had truly injured him; now, he only hoped that the radioactive source applied to the meteor hammer, horse spear, and giant shield could harm He Junnian.
4 If not, he planned to ignite the bombs he had long placed around He Junnian, then run away.
4 A javelin pierced the night sky, suddenly appearing above He Junnian’s head. He Junnian waved his robe sleeve, wrapped the javelin, and threw it back along the original path. With a puff, a large bird fell from mid-air, along with six warriors who fell simultaneously; while still in the air, they launched an attack on He Junnian, six kinds of weapons stabbing toward He Junnian from all directions.
4 “Hmph!”
4 He Junnian merely snorted coldly, making the group including Yun Ce’s hearts jump fiercely, causing the six who had just stabilized their bodies in mid-air to fall directly from the sky.
4 Fortunately, the weapons they threw still solidly landed on He Junnian’s body, but as soon as these weapons approached his body, they clanged and dropped to the ground.
4 It was Yun Ce’s first time seeing Wu Tong wield a knife; he also jumped down from mid-air, landed steadily on both feet, then turned into a blade ball, charging to kill He Junnian.
4 The fire chain in Liu Changsheng’s hand also grew thicker accordingly, with another new fire chain wrapping toward He Junnian’s wrist.
4 Just as He Junnian lifted his foot to stomp the ground, a black iron ball suddenly flew out from Wu Tong’s blade ball. The iron ball had just landed, and before He Junnian’s right foot could land on the ground, the iron ball boomed and exploded.
5 The explosion power of the iron ball was very great; it looked like the batch that Doggy personally made. It was given to Wu Tong back then hoping they could protect themselves; unexpectedly, Wu Tong used it at this time.
5 The intense explosion was right under He Junnian’s feet; the explosion shockwave spread in all directions. He Junnian covered his face with his robe sleeve; the intense explosion shockwave did not harm him at all. However, before the explosion shockwave ended, Wu Tong’s blade ball landed on He Junnian who stood majestically on the steps.
5 After a clanging sound, He Junnian’s clothes had been cut into beggar garb by Wu Tong’s knife. The twelve Panxing Tower assassins following closely behind Wu Tong also took the opportunity to advance.
5 Yun Ce slowly approached He Junnian; the current He Junnian looked disheveled, but up to now, this guy had not shed a drop of blood.
5 He wanted the first drop of blood from the god-like He Junnian to be caused by his own hand.
5 Since He Junnian could be made so disheveled by the bomb, there was no reason the more powerful new bomb made by Doggy would not injure He Junnian.
5 “Black ya!”
5 He Junnian, dragging two fire chains, wanted to retreat, but Liu Changsheng shouted loudly, forcibly holding He Junnian’s figure in place.
5 In that instant, the weapons of Wu Tong and the others all landed on He Junnian’s body; among them, a wolf-tooth club caused the deepest harm to He Junnian. He Junnian’s body staggered two steps from the blow; when he steadied himself again, a wisp of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
