Blood Moon Hunters - Chapter 286

“Since that is the case, let me do some calculations,” said Yu Wude, supporting his jaw with his hand. Then he started to set the arrays for his calculation. He wasn’t sure if he could succeed because Zhuge Liang was much more powerful than him when it came to arrays.

Even the location of Zhuge Liang’s tomb remained a mystery to the world. Maybe Yu Wude and other people had found the right tomb today, but the body might not be in there.

Because Zhuge Liang already knew before he died that many people would come to dig up his grave, given how many opponents he had. That was why he tried to make his burial place so mysterious.

“Stability, Energy, Universe, Recovery, Sensibility, Telepathy, Chronoinesis, Five Elements, and Light!”

Yu Wude chanted the nine-word spell and poured his spiritual strength into the array to turn it on.

“Buzz!”

Moments later, a dazzling blue light covered an area of 10 miles, searching for Zhuge Liang’s aura.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, “There it is! Seven feet underground! I found a tablet in there with some residue of Zhuge Liang’s aura!”

He immediately cast a spell and separated the ground under his feet. Then he took out the tablet. It looked ancient, but its smooth surface could even reflect light.

He brushed away the dirt and saw some ancient and complicated Chinese characters.

“Ugh!!”

Yu Wude threw the tablet on the ground as soon as he saw it. He was so afraid that he couldn’t help backing away from it.

“What happened?”

Feng Tianming and others immediately gathered around him. Yu Wude was quivering and could barely speak. He swallowed saliva and pointed at the tablet with his fingers trembling.

Shangguan Yiyi lifted her arms and brought the tablet closer to everyone.

“Gosh!”

All of these people screamed when they read those characters on the tablet.

Clearly written on it was: “Wude, my friend. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, but this is not a good time for us to meet. You should go to Juyongguan right now, or something horrible will happen!”

“No… that’s impossible! Is that really Wude’s name on it?” Feng Tianming asked. His eyes opened so widely that his eyeballs nearly popped out.

“Zhuge Liang is surely deserving of his reputation. Before he died, he predicted that Wude would come to visit him 2,000 years later!” exclaimed Shangguan Yiyi while covering her mouth with her hands.

“Impressive!” Misawa Chihiro was too shocked to close her mouth.

Yu Wude had recovered from his fear, but his voice was still trembling as he said, “How on earth did he know I would be here? Why is he asking me to go to Juyongguan?”

“Whoosh!”

A few powerful waves of auras passed over their heads. These people looked up into the sky out of curiosity.

“They are heading to Juyongguan!” Feng Tianming said.

“That’s right!” Shangguan Yiyi answered through gritted teeth.

Yu Wude touched his jaw, frowned, and said, “If my guess is right, that aura was the Dragon Qi, according to the books of the famous ancient Taoist, our ancestor, Gui Guzi.

“I think it’s highly possible that it came from Qin Shihuang, the greatest emperor of all time!”

“What?!”

Feng Tianming and Shangguan Yiyi couldn’t believe what they just heard. Dragon Qi was rarely seen these days, let alone the Dragon Qi from the Qin dynasty.

“Bugui and the others were checking out the great wall. I think we should meet them right now in Juyongguan. We have to do what Zhuge Liang said!”

Yu Wude sounded very serious. Other people nodded to him in agreement. They had seen how Zhuge Liang foretold like a prophet, and now they couldn’t respect him more.

Since Zhuge Liang could foretell what was going to happen now from a thousand years ago, he must be right about what was happening in Juyongguan. Yu Wude and the others decided to go there as soon as possible, lest something bad should happen.

They cast spells and flew to Juyongguan.

In front of Juyongguan, which was one of the most important passes of Hua Xia, Wang Bugui was resisting a mysterious power. He knew everything would end up in vain if he let the power sneak back into the earth.

“Why is there such a great disparity in strength between a man and an emperor?”

Wang Bugui clenched his teeth and fought against the power with his life. So far, thousands of strands of Dragon Qi had arrived. Wang Bugui knew that the rest of them were drawing near as well.

“Bugui!”

Chu He was the first one that had arrived, but the overwhelming Dragon Qi here was too powerful and dangerous for him to get any closer. He could barely breathe.

“Bugui, what’s going on?”

Soon, Leng Yueyan and Ning Zhe also arrived. They were more powerful than Chu He, but they couldn’t find a way to approach Wang Bugui either.

“Whiz!”

“Shoosh!”

Later on, Zhao Changge, Zhao Yun, Lyu Bu, Diao Chan, and Lyu Hao also arrived.

“You’re known for being brave and smart, do you have any clue what’s happening here?” Lyu Bu asked Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun shook his head and said, “I am indeed brave and smart, but I have no idea what this is. I don’t know many people who studied Dragon Qi.

“Zhuge Liang, Feng Chu, and Guo Jia might be the only three people I knew who might know about this. In fact, Zhuge Liang might be the only one who knew what exactly was going on here, because nobody knew as much about the Eight Diagrams as he did.”

Lyu Bu smiled and disagreed. “You idolize him, don’t you? You praise him so often that I seldom hear you speak of other friends of yours.”

“We all have things that we’re better at than anyone else. I respect him for being an extraordinary strategist and Taoist. I thought you could understand that,” Zhao Yun explained.

“Of course I understand! Those who learned Taoist magic and Eight Diagrams are the toughest opponents!” Lyu Bu sighed.

Zhao Yun stopped talking and tried to focus on what was going on, while Zhao Changge and Lyu Hao were quite anxious at this moment. They were floating around in the sky, feeling worried about Wang Bugui.

“Clang!”

The sound of a sword arose as Feng Tianming approached. Yu Wude and Shangguan Yiyi were following behind him.

“What’s going on?” Feng Tianming couldn’t wait to ask.

“That is…”

Feng Tianming saw Yu Wude looking directly at some place ahead. He craned over and saw Wang Bugui resisting those Dragon Qi strands in the middle of Juyongguan.

There were faint Dragon Qi waves gathering from all directions and converging near Juyongguan.

“We’re close to the end! Just some more Dragon Qi from Shanhaiguan, Yumenguan, and Jiayuguan!” Wang Bugui said through gritted teeth.

He increased his power and applied it to all the threads of Dragon Qi, so that he could prevent it from escaping.

“Whiz, whiz, whiz!”

Three golden rays from three different directions came together. They looked much more dazzling and powerful than the others.

They flew straight into the sky above the converging Dragon Qi and circled in the air with the five strongest Qi streams. Then they dived into the Dragon Qi and merged themselves in it.

“Buzz!”

The golden light suddenly went out of control. People were almost blinded by it. They felt a formidable power approaching.

The formidable power was desperately overwhelming. Those people’s hair stood on end and they raised their hands to protect their head out of instinct.

“That’s the Imperatorial Power! Do whatever you can to resist it! Or you’ll be crushed!”

Wang Bugui, who had been silent, suddenly yelled out. Other people immediately used all their energy to protect themselves from the Imperatorial Power.

“Hee!”

Zhao Yun and Lyu Bu summoned their weapons to protect the piece of land around Jiayuguan. If the Imperatorial Power was entirely released, there was a high risk that the whole capital city would be destroyed.

“Ugh!!”

The Imperatorial Power of Emperor Qin Shihuang was too powerful for the two to resist, because they were no more than the residue of the souls of Zhao Yun and Lyu Bu. Their bodies started to crack as soon as they felt the power.

“Honey!”

Diao Chan couldn’t help screaming and crying. She tried to squeeze herself out of the crowd because she wanted to be with her husband, even if that meant they would die together.

“Stay away! Honey! Qin Shihuang is powerful, but I can resist him!” Lyu Bu yelled to Diao Chan. He didn’t even have the time to look back at her.

“Let me give you a hand!”

A proud voice sounded in the sky. Blood Demon King teleported out of Wang Bugui’s pendant and turned into a Blood Machete blocking in front of Lyu Bu, then he transferred his spiritual strength into the earth.

“Who’s that?” Lyu Bu asked in astonishment.

“His clothes… I guess he is another Greater Power coming from the remote ancient.” Zhao Yun was as astonished as Lyu Bu.

The remote ancient! The first era after the Foreworld was over. God only knows how old this man was!

“I’m just the residue of someone’s soul, too. You should stop talking and pay more attention to the resistance! I’ve seen the power of the imperatorial bigshots before. Even a real Greater Power from the remote ancient would be able to deal with it easily!”

Blood Demon King warned the two of them. Then he increased the spiritual strength he transferred. Zhao Yun and Lyu Bu were trying their best to help him prevent the Imperatorial Power from spreading, so that the adjacent area of the great wall wouldn’t be destroyed.

Leng Yueyan and other people were making a joint effort to create an illusion, lest the ordinary people see this horrifying scene.

“Growl!”

As a deafening roar came out, the Dragon Qi transformed into eight dragons, and then they soared into the sky.

“Boom!”

Their spiritual strength shook heaven and earth. People raised their hands to protect themselves, but all of them were knocked back hundreds of meters, except for Blood Demon King, Zhao Yun, and Lyu Bu.

The three people standing in the front had been injured as well. The cracks on their bodies were extending. Lucky for them, the dragons were circling around and stopped giving out pressure in the high heaven. Those people then calmed down a bit and flew back to the center.

“What just happened?” asked Zhao Changge.

“Where’s Bugui?” asked Chu He, checking around and looking for Wang Bugui.

“Cough! I’m fine…!”

Wang Bugui climbed up from the ground. He was covered in blood but his face looked just fine. All these people looked up into the sky and saw the eight dragons circling above. They looked so resplendent.

“How dare you enter my realm and disturb my life! Now offer me your apology! On your knees!”

The dignified voice echoed in the sky above Juyongguan. Even the clouds were shattered and dispelled.
