On the opposite side, Feng Hou and Li Mu were fully armored, with a huge chariot behind them, a guide vehicle they had built over the past three days specifically to deal with the fog.

The two looked up at the majestic Yellow Emperor statue atop the mountain.

Feng Hou recalled how he had sharpened the carving knife stained with the blood of the descendants of Shennong into arrowheads yesterday, placed them in the quiver of the Heavenly Maiden Ba, and quietly passed this news to the ears of the "Western Goddess." He couldn't help but nod in approval.

He watched as His Majesty the Yellow Emperor rose from his throne, slowly stepped forward, raised the heavy hammer used for beating drums, and walked toward the war drum made of the hide of the Kui ox, striking it.

With a loud thud, all the troops silently moved to their positions and turned their gaze to the southeast.

He raised his spear.

Begin the charge.

Chapter 164 The Invincible Yellow Emperor Severed Chi You's Head

The war lasted for a whole day.

Chi You watched as his army surged into the mist like a tide and then disappeared. Immediately afterward, he himself rushed into the mist, only to see his soldiers fall one by one and the soldiers around him gradually dissipate.

The white mist, originally intended to confuse the enemy, ultimately became his grave.

"Big brother."

Chi You's brothers fell one after another; this was his last brother, named Mad Demon.

The madman was struck by three arrows, his armor was cleaved by swords, hammers, and axes, and the wheels of the chariot he was riding fell into the wilderness. All the guards on the chariot had also disappeared.

They are all dead.

Chi You's eyes dimmed. He knew their fate without Kuang Mo saying a word. In fact, he also knew Kuang Mo's fate.

He never liked driving chariots, but instead rode his dragon, which had the appearance of an iron-eating beast. However, at the height of the war, just as he was about to overtake the Yellow Emperor's vanguard, Li Mu, break through the Yellow Emperor's camp, and approach the Yellow Emperor.

The iron-eating beast ran away.

Also fleeing were the Wind God and the Rain Master, dragons who were loyal to the King of Bronze and Fire but had no loyalty to him whatsoever.

But he was still unwilling to give up. At that time, he was only one camp away from the Yellow Emperor. He could even clearly see the Yellow Emperor, who had left the throne and put on his armor, looking at him.

So at that time, he led eighty loyal brothers into battle.

This charge failed.

Their roars shook the earth and made the sky tremble, yet they could never truly get close to the Yellow Emperor.

Soon, the war shifted from his proactive offensive to his disastrous retreat.

As the Wind God and Rain Master departed, their troops dispersed in the white mist, while the Yellow Emperor's army was able to find their own banners using the "compass chariot."

As one side gains and the other loses, Chi You finally realizes that he, who has been victorious his whole life, may really be about to fail.

He looked at his brother, the Madman, and at the wounds covering his body, knowing that this last brother was about to leave him as well.

The Madman looked at his brother, who lay on his side on the chariot, and breathed a soft sigh of relief.

He is too tired.

"Brother, you should hurry up and leave! The Yellow Emperor's army is about to arrive."

Chi You opened his mouth, wanting to say that he could take him back, but he thought of his other seventy-nine brothers who had charged alongside him but ultimately died, and he couldn't open his mouth.

"A madman..."

Before he could speak, a whistling sound of arrows came from afar, flying along his conspicuous armor, carrying the mournful howl of a vengeful ghost, as if it were a lament.

The arrow missed Chi You, and it also missed the four new dragons called "Chi Mei Wang Liang" beside him. Instead, it struck the Mad Demon's heart.

He tried to stop him, but it was all in vain; the madman was ultimately too far away from him.

The madman lowered his head helplessly. This time, the blood in his body could no longer pull him back from death, and he could only close his eyes.

He watched his eldest brother roar as he walked over, a smile playing on his lips. He thought of his other brothers and their past struggles for survival in the swamps of the south.

The madman then used his last bit of strength, without looking at the person who killed him, to pull out the arrow from his heart, not wanting to die in such a wretched way.

Then he looked at Chi You, his lips moved slightly, but his voice could no longer be heard through his teeth. He closed his eyes, and the golden color in his pupils dimmed, just like his other brothers, as they walked towards death.

Chi You recognized the last words his brother wanted to say to him; they were short, only two words:

"Hurry up."

Chi You watched as his last brother closed his eyes, his gaze bloodshot. Following the trajectory of the incoming arrow, he wanted to hunt down the one who had killed his brother.

It was a tall man, even taller than the blood-soaked Chi You. He stood on a small hill, more than three or four hundred meters away from Chi You and the Mad Demon.

The giant pointed and gestured, taunting Chi You, and shouted:

"Chi You, you are now all alone, so surrender now!"

He was Li Mu, the vanguard general of the Yellow Emperor, who was the first to break through the camp of the Yan Emperor in the Battle of Banquan.

Now, he felt he could once again make a great contribution and capture Chiyou.

He certainly didn't think Chi You would surrender; he only said that to prevent Chi You from escaping.

As expected, Chi You did not leave. He stood quietly in place, wiping the long sword in his hand. The blood dripping from it soaked into the soil, staining the entire hillside red.

Chi You did not reply to Li Mu; the sorrow in his heart forced him to suppress his anger.

He looked at the last four people beside him, "demons and monsters," who were dragons who had defected to him a few days ago when Chi You still had a clear advantage in the Battle of Zhuolu.

The dragon race's innate bloodline makes them incredibly resilient, so much so that while Chi You's brothers could no longer withstand such intense warfare, these four dragons were still alive.

He looked at the four people, who were also covered in blood. Their once proud dragon bodies had been abandoned due to the excessive force of the blows.

Now, they have all transformed into human form, which is the most advantageous form on the battlefield.

“Chi, Mei, Wang, Liang,” Chi You recited their names one by one, his tone neither joyful nor sorrowful.

"The Mad Demon, the Wind God, and the Rain Master have all left. If nothing unexpected happens, Kuafu has also escaped. Otherwise, the Wind God and the Rain Master wouldn't have left in such a hurry."

Chi You raised his head, and the "Yinglong" that had been hovering in the sky had disappeared during today's decisive battle.

He immediately figured out where "Yinglong" had gone.

He went to find Kuafu.

Kuafu was the name of the king of bronze and fire in this era. He helped Chiyou forge weapons and armor, build cities, and conquer northward. Fengbo and Yushi were his subordinates, and the iron-eating beast was the mount he found for Chiyou.

Before this decisive battle, he had been meticulously planning for Chi You, so it was impossible for him to betray him.

However, by now, Chi You has realized that Kuafu, whom he once trusted, is now in dire straits. Otherwise, Feng Bo and Yu Shi would not have left in such a hurry, almost abandoning the army and fleeing alone.

He looked at the four people who were looking at each other, three men and one woman. Chi You guessed that they were also brothers and sisters. This reminded him of his eighty brothers and the journey they had accompanied him on. So he silently put down his long sword.

"They've left, aren't you leaving?"

Chi You looked at the four people and asked seriously. Although he knew in his heart that the escape of Feng Bo, Yu Shi, and Shi Tie Shou was due to them, Chi You, who had lost everything, did not want to show any sympathy.

He completely lost faith in these treacherous dragons.

At this moment, Chi, the eldest of the four siblings, watched as the surrounding people gradually gathered and surrounded them, but instead of launching an attack, he waited patiently.

He guessed what the soldiers were doing; they were waiting for His Majesty the Yellow Emperor.

Just as in the Battle of Banquan, Li Mu broke through the camp of Emperor Yan, but it was Emperor Huang who gained the credit for defeating Emperor Yan.

Chi You was a much stronger opponent than Yan Di, so much so that Huang Di could tolerate Yan Di's survival, but had to exterminate Chi You.

The Yellow Emperor's subordinates understood this principle as well. They tacitly surrounded Chi You, waiting for their leader to claim the greatest laurel in this war.

That is the crown of victory.

Chi looked at his three younger siblings. Mei shrank back timidly and hid behind him. She didn't even hold a weapon. She was terrified by the war and had been too well protected by her past. She hadn't even participated in the rebellion against the Black Emperor or the subsequent struggle for the throne, nor had she witnessed much of the cruelty of the Eastern Expedition.

In this war, Mei finally witnessed the cruelty of war, but she was unable to hold onto her sword and instead allowed her "Dragon Heart" to be destroyed.

The demons were equally exhausted; they leaned against each other, awaiting their death.

Chi wanted to give a bitter laugh, but when he saw his younger sister behind him, who was clutching his clothes and almost crying, he didn't show such a dejected expression.

He looked at Chi You with a solemn expression, "Your Highness Chi You, since I have chosen to be loyal to you, it is impossible for me to leave at this time."

Chi You smiled, and it was unclear whether he thought it was real or not, but Chi thought that smile was extremely ugly.

He was certainly not loyal to Chi You; it's just that he and his siblings were not of the same lineage as the King of Bronze and Fire, and they didn't call him when the Wind God, Rain Master, and Iron-Eating Beast fled.

Otherwise, upon seeing the rapidly deteriorating war situation, Chi would have already dragged his younger siblings away.

But he sighed...

All around, the Yellow Emperor's army had surrounded them. These mixed-bloods considered themselves "orthodox" and regarded the pure-blooded dragons as aliens. They had no respect for them and no intention of showing them any mercy.

It is simply the opposite of Tiangang.

But what could the demon do? It wasn't one of the four great monarchs, able to fly freely like that bright, silly dragon in the sky, to the point that even the Yellow Emperor's army tacitly accepted the existence of such an "outlier" in their formation.

He was just an ordinary dragon, a "citizen" who was content with a peaceful and happy life in ancient times, and had no value whatsoever compared to the four great monarchs.

Even in terms of bloodline alone, Chi You was superior to him and could easily kill him. How could he dare to openly run away in front of Chi You like the Rain Master and the Wind Master?

Escaping is also a skill; not everyone can learn to drift in a donkey cart through an area and search mountains and seas for three months.

Clearly, the Chi does not have this ability.

Just now, they were actually trapped. The Yellow Emperor's army had surrounded the area, but they refused to discuss surrendering.

Clearly, they did not want to leave any of their men alive.

The demon was at its wit's end.

Surely he couldn't just go and beg Her Highness, the Queen of the Earth and Mountains, to see if someone as noble as her would take him in!

The thought of this sent a chill down Chi’s spine.

This is terrifying. Legend has it that this prince regarded his dragons as mere weeds, sending them to certain death on the battlefield with a smile. Even in times of peace, this prince built a huge "dragon fighting arena" for his dragons to fight and punish each other.

She selected the warrior she considered the most valiant, and then...

They were thrown onto the battlefield.

The thought of His Highness's great achievements made even the usually cold-blooded Chi shudder and quickly dismiss the idea.

Just then, Chi felt a tug on the hem of his clothes behind him. Confused, he turned around and saw his sister's face, which was almost in tears, her voice trembling as she spoke. He felt pity and spoke gently:

"Mei, what's wrong?"
