Prologue: The Ominous Blade

Next Chapter

A certain world, a certain era.

In the long wind, a gray falcon streaked across the snow-capped Ulan Snow Mountain, its high-pitched chirping, its sharp eyes searching the back of the ridge like a giant dragon.

The falcon saw a small team of horses, and the Ulan and southerners led the short, sturdy steppe horses on the snowy mountain cliffs with difficulty.

They were wrapped in thick robes, with cold scimitars attached to the side of their thighs, and a handsome young man in a luxurious robe who walked in the front looked up from time to time at the strange green clouds surrounded by a mountain peak in the distance.

"It's almost there, guys. The young man pointed to the green clouds and said, "The legendary dragon cloud soars into the sky. ”

The clouds took on the shape of a dragon, and on the top of the snow-capped mountains, it seemed to open its teeth and claws, staring at the vast earth.

"Lord Wang, do you really believe in the legend of the Jade Dragon Golden Sword?" a deep voice came from behind the young man, "I thought that you southerners only believed in their own heavens. ”

"Yes, but I'm an exception. The boy said, "Whoever gets the golden sword wins the world, this is not only your legend, but also ours." ”

He looked at the person behind him who was talking, and his face showed an extreme confidence, as if there was a light in his eyes.

"General Hülegü, I believe in it. If I get the golden sword, I will be able to return to the imperial land, and I will definitely kill that traitor, take back the throne that belongs to me, and avenge my father's hatred!"

The Ulan general named Hülegü smiled lightly, but the young prince didn't notice it because of the wind.

Hülegü led the horse to the prince's side, and said hoarsely: "Yes, the jade dragon will definitely determine the true dragon." ”

In the darkness, the dragon clouds that surrounded the mountain seemed to move, leaping and leaping, and the wind swept across Hülegü's face, carrying ice ballast and falling on his beard.

"Indeed, I am a true dragon. The prince said.

They finally reached the top of the snow, and in front of everyone, Long Yun seemed to open a huge mouth that could swallow the entire mountain top, and rushed towards everyone.

Its fangs were like icicles, and its dragon's whiskers were like long snakes, and although everyone knew that it was just an ethereal cloud, the green clouds in the shape of a jade dragon were still as terrifying as a living thing.

"It has been more than thousands of years now, and the jade dragon should descend into the world again!" the prince opened his arms to meet Long Yun, and the wind and snow filled his robe in an instant, and he shouted loudly, "Please give me the golden sword of the Eastern Emperor Yin, help me defeat the traitor, and reign over the world!"

The dragon cloud at the top of the mountain moved again, its claws pointing at a boulder as black as iron. Donghuang Yin was overjoyed, and despite the deep snow under his feet, he walked quickly towards the boulder.

As long as you get the golden sword, you will rule the world.

As long as you get the golden sword, you will be a real dragon in the world.

The more Donghuang Yin thought about it, the more excited he became, and he saw that the boulder was slowly becoming clearer, and the smooth stone surface was carved with the patterns left by the ancestors.

Galloping war horses, wild wolves that bite the living, octopuses emerging from the bottom of the sea, and dragons as big as magic mountains...... It's like an ancient prophecy that unfolds to people.

- After that, the lives were devastated.

"Ancient gods...... Will...... Wake up. A hoarse voice came through the air.

A golden scimitar with a shining light is embedded in the stone upside down, not stained with a little snow, and the blade is bare.

Hülegü opened his half-squinted eyes slightly, and quietly walked behind the prince, several Ulan herdsmen looked at each other, still standing in place, their fingers unconsciously holding the short knife on their waists.

"Great, is this the legendary golden knife made of the claws of the jade dragon?" The prince stepped on the stone, which was simply the heavens to make him the Son of Heaven, and he felt that all the good luck had come too suddenly.

More than 20 years ago, his imperial uncle Donghuang Yue plotted to poison his father, and took the crown prince as regent on the grounds that he was young, and finally took his place and sent him to the barren land of Wulan County to become the king of the beggar county.

It was also thanks to God's eyes that he found this legendary treasure......

Donghuang Yin stretched out his hand to the golden knife in front of him, but he didn't know why, when he was about to touch the hilt, a strange peeping sensation suddenly directed his whole body like an electric shock!

It was as if hundreds of reptilian eyes were opening in the dark. Beasts and human figures on stones, on the ground, on frescoes, and even in the air......

Eyes were staring at him everywhere, and the stares seemed to pierce everything about him. Donghuang Yin gasped, and his fingers couldn't help but retract.

"Wait, lord. He heard Hülegü's voice, and the strong sense of peeping suddenly disappeared again, "Do you really think you're a real dragon?"

Donghuang Yin's body tensed for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

"The Jade Dragon is the ancestor of our Ulan people, not your Eastern Emperor's. Hülegü sneered, and the dragon cloud in the sky seemed to move slightly, "Your dragons are insects and sheep, and our dragons are wolves and tigers." ”

Donghuang Yin's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but just as he turned around, his abdomen suddenly cooled, and Xu Legu stabbed into the prince's abdomen fiercely, and the blood instantly stained the frost and snow, and the severe pain followed!

"You...... Damn it...... Hu Ren ......"

With a sinister smile, Hülegu pulled out his knife and tore open a piece of flesh, "I guided you here just to let you witness the appearance of the true dragon. Stupid little prince, it's not so easy to be fooled by someone else. ”

Donghuang Yin only felt that his entire abdomen was being bitten by a poisonous snake, and he staggered and couldn't stand firm, and blood rushed out of his body.

He hated such mockery more than betrayal.

It seemed that a voice in the darkness was also sneering viciously.

- The True Emperor...... True God...... to wake up......

Donghuang Yin cried out heartbreakingly: "Don't come here, you filthy traitor, you damned traitor......!"

"Lord Wang!"

Several Donghuang guards were taken aback and hurriedly drew their swords, but in the next moment, the Ulan people who had been prepared for a long time unsheathed their swords one after another, cutting the throats of the guards with lightning speed.

"The Ulans are reversed, the Ulans are reversed!"

The horse on horseback shouted to break away from the group, but before he could escape far, the archer, who was hiding behind the rock, suddenly let go of his bowstring, and the bow chased after him like a panther!

Blood splattered in an instant. The sound of gongs, trumpets, and shouts resounded through the valley.

The entire army of the Eastern Empire began to fall into extreme chaos!

Donghuang Yin looked at all this with remorse, he shouldn't have believed this Ulan man, in fact, he was too careless, and he endured it for more than ten years, and his credit was ruined.

"Hülegü...... What do you want?"

"I'm not good, I'm just taking back what belongs to us, as for you," Hülegü dipped his fingertip in the blood on the blade, "it depends on what my subordinates think." ”

He squinted at the two scale-clad Iron Float soldiers behind him, their eyes revealing a fierce murderous aura.

"I tell you not to come! Otherwise, cough cough, or the court, the court will ......"

When he said this, Donghuang Yin stopped. A person who has been betrayed by the court and now betrayed the court, who will come to save him?

It's really sad, Donghuang Yin was completely desperate, and his voice gradually disappeared into the wind.

Two of the Iron Floaters' icy hand armor grabbed him by the shoulders and pushed him to the edge of the cliff.

The cold wind in the sky made him shiver, and the desolate snow fell one by one.

Donghuang Yin closed his eyes and wept, it turned out that there was really no one behind him.

"I am the emperor......" his voice choked and became indistinct, "I am ...... What a dragon!"

"Then go down and be your emperor. Hülegü glanced at him contemptuously and made a "kill" gesture, "Farewell, little emperor." ”

After speaking, Tiefutu let go of his hand, and Donghuang Yin looked at the dim sky, obviously Longyun was close at hand, but now it was getting farther and farther away, smaller and smaller.

Hopes are dashed.

He plunged into a cliff of ice, and below it was eternal darkness.

"Does anyone still want to be on the side of the dead prince?"

Hülegu's sharp gaze swept over the remaining Eastern Emperor guards, and the bows and arrows and scimitars in the hands of the Ulan people were already aimed at their bodies, "We, the Ulan people, are now just following the will of the Immortal Heaven and establishing our own kingdom, anyone who disobeys the will of Heaven will die!"

The moment Hülegü's gaze made contact with the guards, one by one they dropped their weapons.

No one resisted.

"Golden Knife Khan!Golden Knife Khan!" The Ulans began to echo, striking their shields or the ground with their scimitars, "Down with the southerners, long live the Ulan Khanate!"

Hulegu stretched out his hand to the golden knife in the stone with a louder shout, "Immortal God bless my Ulan Khanate, I will set foot on the Eastern Emperor and the four major counties, sweep through the desert of the Western Regions, and let the Ulan people make the world tremble!"

With both hands, he pulled out the golden knife out of the boulder, and the ten thousand golden lights that burst out of liberation were dazzling.

There seemed to be a vicious whisper full of resentment from the golden knife: "Wake up...... Wake up ......"

Thunder erupted from the dragon clouds, and the sound of a tiger roaring and a dragon's groan resounded through the sky, as if it were roaring, and finally the clouds dissolved.

"Golden Knife Khan! Golden Knife Khan!"

Hülegü raised his sword and pointed it straight at the cold sky, his face full of joy that only a king deserves.

Some of the Eastern Emperor's guards who surrendered had even followed suit and chanted "Long live the Khan", and only one of the good-looking people did not say a word, and looked at Hülegü through gritted teeth.

"Stop. There was a sudden silence all around, and Hülegü walked over to the silent guard, all eyes following his steps, "Why don't you make a sound?" he asked.

The guard raised his head, looked at Hülegü standing in front of him, and said loudly, "Because you killed my master!"

"Oh. Hülegü lightly put the golden knife on the man's chin, and the chill rushed along the blade of the knife into his limbs for a moment, "What's your name?"

"The Great Eastern Emperor is scattered on the border of the country, riding Zuo Qingyun!" the guard told him righteously.

"It's just a soldier. Hülegü unexpectedly lowered his sword, "But I appreciate your courage, so I'll leave you to go back and tell your emperor that you are ready to be a prisoner." ”

Zuo Qingyun clenched his fists when he heard this, glaring angrily, and the others pointed their weapons at his various vital points when they saw this.

"Let him go. Hülegü smiled and waved his hand to order, "Give him another good horse, let him leave Ulan safely, and then live to witness how the Ulan Jade Dragon devoured the rotten Eastern Emperor Panlong." ”
