Chapter 380: Blackmail, you don’t want anything to happen to your family!

The soldiers around Gao Yao fell one after another, but no one was afraid. Instead, they fought to protect Gao Yao. The bodies around Gao Yao piled up like a hill in less than a quarter of an hour. Dozens of bodies fell at Gao Yao's feet. However, Gao Yao's movements began to slow down, and his strength became weaker and weaker. It was obvious that he was not strong enough.

As the last soldier fell, Gao Yao sat on the corpse, panting. The armor on his body had long been stained blood red. There were still countless Northern Army soldiers surrounding him, but few dared to attack him. Gao Yao was already panting, but his god-like figure had been deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.

At this moment, under the leadership of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, a large number of archers rushed in from all directions like a tide. They were agile and well-trained, and soon surrounded Gao Yao's position, forming an airtight encirclement.

Facing the approaching archers, Gao Yao remained calm, and even slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile. Although his final action was accurately predicted by the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan, Gao Yao was extremely unwilling, but even if time could go back and give him another chance, Gao Yao would still make the same choice without hesitation. Because for Gao Yao, the so-called obedience to history to become the well-known Zhao Gao had never appeared in his mind or plan. His ambition was far from that. He wanted to ascend to the supreme throne and become the emperor who ruled the world!

"Gao Yao, Gao Yao, you can't escape today. You will definitely die! Now that things have come to this, let me be honest with you."

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's voice rang out clearly in this tense atmosphere, with an unquestionable tone, "This space has now become a completely independent existence, starting with my arrival and ending with my actions, and it goes on and on, forming a complete cycle. To be honest, I still can't figure out how you got everything you have now. But your failure is foreseeable. I have experienced more than one reincarnation, so what I know is far beyond your imagination."

"History is always directional. In other words, don't you feel that there are always various obstacles in everything you do now?"

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan seemed to feel that he had already won the victory, and he didn't mind showing Gao Yao some of the things he knew. The reason behind this was not because of the law that villains die because of talking too much, but because the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan still wanted to know what kind of ability Gao Yao had hidden, and why Gao Yao had changed so much.

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did find a way to escape from this cycle of reincarnation, but even he was not sure if the success rate was 100%. The ability to extract the Heavenly Star was true, but once the energy of the Heavenly Star was completely extracted, whether it would have more impact on the world, he could not make any more predictions for the time being. In Gao Yao, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan saw the possibility that he did not belong to the Heavenly Star, so he naturally wanted to grasp this possibility.

Hearing the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan's words, Gao Yao was startled. He widened his eyes and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. Then, his eyes gradually brightened, as if he suddenly realized something important.

"It's no coincidence that you were able to take over the Southern Border and Zhentuo region so easily. I think in the long river of history, these places were destined to be conquered, so your actions were not greatly hindered. With your strength and means, it should be easy to take over Minzhong and Kuaiji, but why is the progress so slow?"

At this time, the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not waste too much time talking, but took over Gao Yao's words without hesitation and continued to explain in detail. According to the original plan, Gao Yao intended to quickly seize the two pieces of land in Kuaiji and Minzhong before the arrival of the imperial army.

At first, everything went very smoothly. They were unstoppable and encountered almost no strong resistance. However, as time went on, all kinds of unexpected situations came one after another. The pressure from various forces was like a surging tide, constantly attacking them, causing their offensive pace to gradually slow down. Although they tried their best and tried every way to break through the difficulties, they ultimately failed to achieve their set goals before the arrival of the imperial army.

The troops in Minzhong launched a fierce resistance, fighting desperately with the southern border troops. Not only that, but even the local people joined the resistance, forming a powerful civilian force. From the beginning of the resistance in Minzhong, the situation spread like ripples, and eventually affected the Chu army led by Xiang Yu.

Before this, although Gao Yao had noticed some abnormalities, he had not thought deeply about the ineffable influence behind these phenomena. The Southern Border Army has a unique advantage. They can advance quickly by water and drive straight into the enemy by land. The two cooperate well with each other. Moreover, whether in terms of weapons and equipment, the number of troops, or the elite level of soldiers, the Southern Border Army is in a position to absolutely crush its opponents.

Even with such a huge advantage, the Southern Border Army still failed to achieve the expected ideal results. Gao Yao thought it was Han Xin's problem before. After all, Han Xin had not participated in a formal battle, so he would inevitably encounter various obstacles during the actual march. Now, it seems that this mysterious influence is really not small at all.

"Look at your thoughtful look. I guess you have already understood the secret. Yes, just as you thought, in this particular time and space, when a person acts in line with the trend of historical development, God seems to favor and assist him; but if someone dares to go against the trajectory of history and go against the will of God, then he will inevitably encounter all kinds of unpredictable obstacles. This is the cruel and real situation!"

"Haha, if my guess is correct, the root cause of this series of events is probably that mysterious star. Is it manipulating all this in secret?"

At this time, Gao Yao, who had been silent for a while, directly mentioned the existence of Tianxing, which made the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan a little stunned for a moment. When he wanted to speak again, he was interrupted by Gao Yao.

"Everything started with the Tianxing and will end with the Tianxing. Since I already knew about the existence of the Tianxing, how could I sit back and do nothing and not send people to investigate it? None of the people who were sent to investigate the Tianxing returned safely. I think it must be the people you sent who have been guarding the Tianxing. Am I right?" At this moment, Gao Yao also stated the conclusion he had drawn from his investigation of the Tianxing.

Gao Yao already had the recipe for the elixir of life, and even though he himself did not intend to take the elixir for immortality, it did not mean that he would not try to obtain the Heavenly Star Powder. To this end, he had sent various personnel to the vicinity of Mount Li many times to explore, whether they were warriors with strong martial arts skills, strategists with extraordinary wisdom, or assassins who were good at stealth.

But what is puzzling is that no matter when, even when Qin Shihuang was in power or after his death, Gao Yao had sent out at least hundreds of people, but in the end, no one survived!

The only information these people could bring back was that there was a group of mysterious people lurking in the dark, closely guarding Tianxing and not allowing any outsiders to get close. This situation really made Gao Yao feel confused and uneasy.

When Gao Yao mentioned Tianxing, the sensitive expression that flashed across the face of the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was seen by Gao Yao, and he roughly understood the whole thing in his heart.

Gao Yao thought to himself, it seems that the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan is not without weakness, and this weakness is most likely Tianxing! Maybe Tianxing is inextricably linked to his special ability... Thinking of this, Gao Yao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Haha, not bad, Gao Yao, your intelligence is really beyond my expectation!" said the mysterious Yi Xiaochuan coldly, with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes, but soon returned to indifference, "But, these are no longer important. You should know clearly that you can't escape today no matter what."

Gao Yao took a deep breath and responded calmly: "Since we are going to die anyway, why bother talking too much? Don't try to threaten me, including everything I represent. You are not worthy of my trust, so there is no need to say more."

The mysterious Yi Xiaochuan sneered, "Hmph, let me tell you, even if you die, as long as your family doesn't come to provoke me, I will naturally not kill them all. After all, in my eyes, they may be very important to you, but they are meaningless to me. So, you'd better tell me the truth about what I want to know, so that maybe you can leave a way for your family to survive."

Mysterious Yi Xiaochuan was a little surprised. Gao Yao had even thought that he might use the other party's family to threaten him, and he directly said that he didn't believe it. This made mysterious Yi Xiaochuan lose patience. Although he really wanted to know the secret behind Gao Yao, from the current point of view, Gao Yao would definitely not tell the truth. In this case, mysterious Yi Xiaochuan did not plan to continue.
