Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 1220 New War

He pointed to the three marching routes marked with ink lines on the map, which were winding like poisonous snakes towards Qin Ming's camp!

"Eagle Sorrow Gorge! It's surrounded by cliffs on both sides! One man can hold the pass! Qin Ming only needs to send a team of archers to ambush there... The three thousand Tiele cavalry... will be sitting ducks!"

"Ghost Weeping Gorge! Miasma is everywhere! Poisonous insects are everywhere! The poisonous arrow shooters from Wusuli... I'm afraid they'll be fed to the poisonous insects before they even reach Qin Ming's camp!"

"Soul-Breaking Slope! The terrain is steep! The rocks are jagged! Even Helu's heavy armor... would have a hard time climbing it! Qin Ming only needs to roll logs and rocks... and he'll be trapped!"

Helian Tieshu's burly body trembled violently! Beads of cold sweat instantly dripped from his forehead! He looked up suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror: "Your Majesty! You...you knew this a long time ago?!"

"You know?" Hua Yunhong's mouth curved wider, like a venomous snake baring its fangs. "Not only do I know! I also specifically chose these three dead ends for them!"

His cold gaze swept across Helian Tieshu's horrified face: "What I want...is never their success!"

"What this king wants... is their death!"

"Use their blood! Use their corpses! Use their screams! Tell Qin Ming! Tell those jackals watching from behind! Shenmu... is not dead! This king... is still here!"

"We must force Qin Ming to divide his forces! Let him think that I am at the end of my rope! I can only drive these ants to their deaths! Let him let his guard down!"

Hua Yunhong's voice suddenly rose, filled with madness and hatred that could burn everything: "And my true killer move... lies in this 'Bi Phosphorus Attraction'!"

His withered finger suddenly pointed at the pile of green wolf smoke that had been prepared outside the tent and was emitting a strange phosphorescent light!

"As the smoke signals rise, a turquoise surges into the sky! The aura of the 'divine tree'...will surely trigger the forced balance of the plague and the power of the sacred tree within Liu Yueli's body! That 'container'...is like a lit powder keg! Abnormal changes are bound to occur! Chaos will surely break out in Qin Ming's camp!"

"When the time comes..." A poisonous flame as if it were tangible erupted from Hua Yunhong's narrow eyes. "This king... will personally lead Toruhan's last three hundred 'Corrupted Heart Willow Guards'! Carrying the mother seed of the 'Erosion Heart Willow Miasma'! From the secret passage of the Buried Bone Cliff... directly into Qin Ming's heart!"

"I will... dig out the heart of that 'vessel' with my own hands!

Take back the power of the sacred tree! And more importantly... take off Qin Ming's head! Offer it to the heroic spirit of the sacred tree!"

"boom--!!!"

Helian Tieshu felt as if struck by an invisible hammer! His massive frame lurched violently! His eyes were filled with extreme shock and... a hint of deep-seated fear! He understood! The three armies... were merely bait! Cannon fodder! Sacrifices to attract Qin Ming's attention! The true fatal blow... was the signal smoke! It was the aura of the "divine tree" that could trigger the transformation within Liu Yueli! It was the Corrupted Heart Willow Guards, led by Hua Yunhong himself and carrying the ultimate miasma!

"Your Majesty... is wise!" Helian Tieshu's voice was trembling with fanaticism as he kowtowed heavily!

Hua Yunhong slowly returned to his seat, his cold gaze directed toward the dark sky to the southeast outside the tent. His withered fingers tapped unconsciously on the cold armrest.

"The time... is almost here." He whispered to himself, his voice like a poisonous snake spitting its tongue in the darkness. "Light the fire!"

"Yes!" A fierce light flashed in Helian Tieshu's eyes! He suddenly stood up and strode out of the tent!

Not long!

Deep within the ruins of Bone Burial Cliff, an eerie, emerald green column of smoke, like a frozen will-o'-the-wisp, suddenly shot up into the sky. The smoke was thick and solid, its emerald green dazzling! Under the bleak moonlight, it resembled a ghostly claw reaching out from hell, piercing the sky. A faint, yet pungent, sulfurous, and sweetly decayed "divine tree" wavered silently as the smoke rose, instantly enveloping the entire Bone Burial Cliff.

Qin Ming's main camp. Inside the imperial tent.

The candlelight flickered. The dark golden vortex on Liu Yueli's chest slowly swirled, its light introverted and deep. Sun Miao's withered fingers twirled the golden needle, carefully maintaining a fragile balance. Outside the tent, the dark red flame barrier continued to burn, and gray-green poisonous smoke filled the air, isolating the camp from death. The soldiers leaned wearily on their shields, warily watching the pile of charred corpses outside the wall of fire.

In the dead silence, the only sound was the faint friction in Liu Yueli's throat, like the wheezing of an old bellows.

suddenly!

"Uh……"

A faint moan, like a broken gossamer thread, emanated from Liu Yueli's charred lips! Her body suddenly convulsed violently! The dark golden vortex on her chest suddenly dimmed, and then erupted into a blinding emerald green light!

The light was like a living thing! It instantly devoured the original dark gold! The entire vortex transformed into a wildly spinning ball of emerald green light, emitting a strong smell of sulfur and the sweet smell of corruption!

"puff--!"

Liu Yueli suddenly gushed out a mouthful of sticky, pitch-black blood with a pungent stench! Her body felt as if pierced by high-voltage electricity! She arched her body violently upward! An inhuman, soul-tearing howl erupted from her throat! From the edge of the charred branded wound behind her shoulder, a dark red gelatinous substance gushed out like a lit fuse! The dark gold ember deep in her spine was instantly devoured by the emerald green light! A cold, violent, destructive wave with a strong hallucinogenic and paralyzing aura erupted from her broken body like an erupting volcano!

"Your Majesty! Lord Liu... has mutated! The power of the sacred tree... has lost control and is backfiring!" Sun Miao's withered face instantly turned as pale as paper! His voice was filled with a desperate roar!

Almost at the same time!

“Report——!!!”

A scout rushed into the imperial tent, tumbling and crawling! His voice was filled with piercing fear:

"Your Majesty! Southeast! Bone Burial Cliff! Emerald green smoke rising into the sky! The smoke column... in the smoke column... there is... there is a strange aura! Lord Liu... Lord Liu..."

The scout's words stopped abruptly! He saw the terrifying sight of Liu Yueli in the tent, her body bent like a ghost, spitting black blood, and emitting a green light! He froze in place!

"Wolf smoke... emerald green..." Qin Ming's gaze suddenly froze beneath his veil! Deep within his deep eyes, the frozen pond stirred up a surging wave! He suddenly looked up! His gaze, piercing the curtains, locked onto the dark sky to the southeast!

A dense, blinding, will-o'-the-wisp-like column of emerald green smoke shot up from the direction of the Bone Burial Cliff! It soared straight into the sky! Even from a great distance, the sweet, sulfurous, and decaying scent of the "sacred tree" pierced his senses like an invisible venomous snake!

"Hua Yunhong..." Qin Ming's icy voice was like the clash of cold iron, and every word carried a murderous intent that froze the soul. "What a trick...kill with a borrowed knife! Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!"

His armored fingers suddenly pointed outside the tent!

"Shadow Seven!"

"Here!" Ying Qi appeared like a ghost!

"Send the message to Meng Zhi! Act according to the plan! Three groups of ants... not a single one will be left alive!" Qin Ming's voice was firm and resolute!

"Here!" Ying Qi's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace!
