Gone With The Bustling World - Chapter 53
Translator: Antonia
Just as Bafang Army scored successive victories, the situation began to reverse.
After the shock, the kings of various nations gradually woke up to the realization: Fang Junqian and Xiao Qingyu’s troops fought terrifyingly as such. After they conquered the Xiongye’s court and captured the land, the next to suffer would be them!
Even the renowned invincible commander Tuoba Murong was defeated by them. Who then could stop their joint hands? If they weren’t stopped, there would be a horrible disaster!
Realizing this, an unprecedented slaughter alliance was formed.
The allies included Xiongye’s new king Murong Li, Tianbin’s powerful leader Huo Peixi, Wonu’s famous Hong Du, the south Liaomeng king Yi Feisha and numerous other small nations— Their enemy was the Peerless Duo who possessed an army of less than two million soldiers. They didn’t fear of Daqing, but these two youths who were only eighteen years old!
The slaughter allied forces swarmed up in all directions, from the southeast, the northwest, from off the coast, and from the inland, all heading onto the Sukesa Plain. The armies were endless to see, grain carriages and equipment enormous as mountains, the soldiers and horses in such a great number that they almost covered the sun in the sky.
Knowing the huge gap in strength, Fang Junqian wasn’t daunted at all but got more courageous. The battle of him playing a lone hand against the alliance of four nations should end in a draw. He even gained the upper hand. Within three months, he had fought against eighteen troops, among which eleven were crashed and seven withdrew. Bafang Army created a most honorable military achievement ever on the Sukesa Plain!
The Peerless Duo emanated the brightest light, which deterred anyone from approaching. But also because their penetrating light hurt the various kings’ eyes, they were more determined than before to eliminate the two youths.
They were afraid of the two and the fear compelled them to destroy them at all costs. On every day when the Peerless Duo was alive, the four kings found it hard to sleep or eat well!
Bafang Army galloped freely on the Sukesa Plain and defeated numerous allied troops. Yet, although batch after batch was devastated, there were countless new troops from the enemies.
The more ferocious the Peerless Duo was, the more tenacious and unified their enemies became to fight against them. The four kings decided to put aside their former feuds to former a bigger ‘slaughter alliance’— a desperate war of four nations against two people!
Bafang Army no longer fought for honor but for survival.
In the commander’s tent.
Xiao Qingyu was applying medicine for Duke Fang.
Fang Junqian was leaning on the couch, feeling the cold slender fingering running and brushing on his skin. His breath got a little faster.
The cold touch brought indescribable burning heat…
What a sweet torture! …
Spotting his look, Xiao Qingyu lowered his head and realized that his fingers were too icy, “Sorry, I should have warmed up my hands first.”
“Qingyu, why are your hands always so cold?”
Xiao Qingyu was calm and indifferent, “I’m sinful because I’ve killed too many lives.”
Killing too much damaged one’s own life.
Duke Fang’s heart ached!
He looked back at him: Even in the battlefield, Xiao Qingyu was still in white, spotlessly, the cinnabar between his brows enchantingly red yet freezing as a knife.
“That’s not true.” Fang Junqian bolted out, “Qingyu is a fairy from heaven. I’m the monster who has killed too much. I’ll go to hell after death…”
“Killing millions of people and making a river of blood. Is that what a fairy should do?” Xiao Qingyu sneered at himself, but his eyes were full of benevolence, “You and I have committed the sin of killing and are distained with blood…but recently I’ve been chanting Buddhist scriptures for you and Bafang soldiers. I hope this could reduce slightly our sin…”
Fang Junqian stared at him quietly, remembering the scene after the battle three days ago—
After the battle, the battlefield was piled up with corpses and blood. The smell of it was suffocating and made people throw up. The incomplete bodies and limbs piled up as a mountain, the layers forming a dark scarlet color beyond description. Next to the torches, the weapons losing their owners lied on the ground silently. Every inch of the land was covered with a mixture of brains, blood plasma and mud, splashing on minced debris of dead bodies.
Fang Junqian instantly fell on his knees at the sight of the scene.
Around his feet flew a stream of blood, next to which was a half head of a young soldier. He was so young that he looked so vibrant and was supposed to have a promising future.
Now he fell on the ground, lifeless, milky yellow brains overflowing onto the earth, eyes popping open, never closed.
Nausea. Suffocation. Despair. Sullenness. Coldness…
All kinds of negative feelings drove Fang Junqian to the edge of his nerves! He found his legs feeble and lacked the strength to stand up…
Then, he saw among the blood the pure white—so clean, dazzling and sheer.
Thence, the killing became bloodier, while the white purer.
He heard his hoarse voice saying to the only white, “Don’t come over.”
He didn’t want him to step into this land of slaughter for him. He didn’t want to see the pure white stained with filthy blood.
Just let he alone bear the ugliness and sin!! Just he alone!!
“Fang Junqian.” He heard faintly the cold clear voice.
Gazing at the expanding blood pool around Fang Junqian, Xiao Qingyu had a complicated feeling.
Suddenly, he switched on the wheelchair and forced into the pool. The white clean pants were instantly stained scarlet.
In the sea of blood and corpses, he sat in the wheelchair and came to him.
Then, nothing left in the world except his clear and calm voice—“Fang Junqian, get up.”
I’m right here.
I won’t go anywhere.
You’re not the only one in this hell. I’m here with you.
You have never let me down.
So! Fang Junqian, get up!
He watched the noble flawless man in white stepping into the sea of blood for him and said to himself, “Fang Junqian, get up.”
He no longer saw anything else in the world, but only his face…
Qingyu, besides you, who could walk on this road with.
