Chapter 2247: An Lushan’s Soliloquy!

Wang Chong had made that attack?

He was that strong?

Had he been hiding it all this time?

An Lushan had an extremely ill foreboding.

And just a few moments later…

Crack!

A crisp crack came from his waist, and An Lushan looked down and instantly paled.

The black bone flute hanging from his belt had abruptly shattered into countless shards.

Genesis Supreme had granted him this black bone flute, and there was no reason for it to inexplicably explode, unless Genesis Supreme was…

An Lushan’s heart turned cold, like he had been dropped into an ice house.

He had never imagined that Wang Chong would be able to kill Genesis Supreme!

Run!

I have to get out of here!

An Lushan was like a frightened bird, and there was only one thought left in his mind.

He was truly afraid now.

Genesis Supreme’s death had made him feel unprecedented fear.

Bang!

An Lushan burned his Stellar Energy and fled northward as quickly as he could.

An Lushan had kept some power in reserve in case Genesis Supreme managed to kill Wang Chong, allowing him to go back and take back control over the situation, but now, even if he had to exhaust all his Stellar Energy, he did not dare to linger here.

An Lushan instinctively thought about one place.

Mount Yaluo!

The place of his birth, the source of his name.

Mount Yaluo was the mountain of the Turkic War God, and the meaning of his name was ‘Son of the War God’.

In the past, An Lushan would have scoffed at these words in disbelief, but the World Consciousness had appeared. He was the Child of the World, so why couldn’t he be the Son of the War God?

An Yaluoshan suddenly thought about his mother.

Before the war, he had secretly gone to see her, and she had passed down an oracle that said he would definitely succeed.

An Lushan had to find her and ask her why he had failed, whether there was some other interpretation of the oracle. Perhaps, just like some sovereigns in the history of the Central Plains, he needed to wait for his next chance, and it was only on this second try that he would succeed?

Besides that, An Lushan thought about the father he had yet to meet.

Genesis Supreme and his ilk had called themselves gods. They had lived for countless years and truly did possess divine abilities. Did that mean that the legendary Turkic War God had actually existed?

If he could find him, perhaps he really did have a chance at a resurgence.

This thought made An Lushan clench his teeth and run even faster.

As An Lushan was madly fleeing, a cold and callous voice came from far behind him. “An Lushan, do you really think you can escape?”

The madly fleeing An Lushan shivered and almost tripped over.

Wang Chong!

An Lushan’s panic reached its maximum!

How had he come so quickly?

Had he not been extremely careful while running, doing his utmost to minimize his energy signature? How had he been so quickly found?

The thick scent of death assailed him, and An Lushan’s eyes flew open in fear as he continued his mad flight to the north.

Wang Chong definitely hadn’t seen him!

He had to be pretending to try and flush him out.

Right, that had to be it!

He didn’t know that he was here!

This thought allowed An Lushan to muster his courage and continue his flight under the cover of the cold wave.

But An Lushan had only run a few thousand feet before he spotted an ice-covered hill ahead of him. Atop this mountain was a youthful figure that immediately made An Lushan stop breathing, his feet freezing as if he had been paralyzed.

Wang Chong!

Wang Chong had his hands behind his back and his side facing him. It was like he had been waiting for him for a long time.

An Lushan was shivering so badly that he almost collapsed to the ground.

“You’re finally here!”

Atop the hill, Wang Chong seemed to notice something and turned around, his emotionless eyes glaring at An Lushan with a loathing and hatred that could drown the heavens.

He had waited far too long for this moment.

From the moment he had been reborn, he had been waiting for this moment.

All he had done was so that he could stand in front of him like this.

“You still want to run?”

Wang Chong’s sharp eyes looked down at An Lushan as he spoke.

Now that he had comprehended the secrets of the Grotto Heaven realm, An Lushan could put aside any idea of trying to escape from him. Even if he ran to the ends of the earth, Wang Chong would still find him.

“Wang… Wang Chong!”

An Lushan’s legs trembled, and he felt like those sharp eyes pierced through him, penetrating all his organs.

Fear!

Terror!

And an intense desire to survive!

All sorts of emotions gathered in An Lushan’s mind. At that moment, he knew he could not escape.

At this moment, as he looked at that calm yet fierce youth, An Lushan realized that he was just as afraid of this man as he was during their first encounter in the capital.

From a certain perspective, he even surpassed Zhang Shougui, even though he had always believed that Zhang Shougui had been his greatest fear.

Silence!

Absolute silence!

On this vast plain of ice, the two of them stared at each other, even time seeming to have stopped.

This was a destined meeting!

The two of them simultaneously sensed that this might be their last meeting in their lives.

A fierce gale howled between them.

For a moment, the two of them just silently stared at each other.

Bang!

An Lushan suddenly got down on his knees, his face ashen and his body shaking.

“Your Highness, I was wrong. I have been totally defeated and can no longer threaten the Great Tang. Your Highness is magnanimous, so please spare my life!”

An Lushan, this man who had sought to be the master of the Central Plains, was kneeling before Wang Chong and pleading for his life!!

Not even Wang Chong had expected this development.

But a moment later, Wang Chong realized what was going on, and sneered.

“Was this how you deceived Zhang Shougui?”

Kneeling? Pleading for his life? Flattery? Adulation? Constant praise?

An Lushan had probably used this set of techniques on numerous people.

A man’s kneel was worth a thousand pieces of gold?

That might have been true for someone else, but for An Lushan, this was nothing out of the ordinary.

By trying to use this against him, An Lushan was just getting egg on his face!

An Lushan trembled, and his face turned even whiter. In a panic, he hastily said, “An Lushan means no such thing. You have already defeated my army, and Genesis Supreme died at your hands. I no longer have the ability to cause trouble. Moreover, after this battle, all the other countries should be surrendering to the Great Tang. No country in the world will be able to threaten the Great Tang now.

“I no longer have the resources to rebel, and you are the mighty King of Foreign Lands. Why not just let me live? I am willing to swear an oath on the World Consciousness that I will not take even half a step into the Central Plains from now on!”

Death followed him like a shadow, and An Lushan didn’t even want to think about trying an attack. If someone as strong as Genesis Supreme had been killed by Wang Chong, he wouldn’t even be able to last a few rounds.

Wang Chong said nothing, his harsh eyes penetrating into the depths of his soul.

As he looked down at the panicked An Lushan, Wang Chong coldly said, “Letting a tiger return to the mountains is certain to leave a problem for the future. Do you think I don’t understand this? With how you are now, it’s no wonder you were never able to get anywhere.”

This man had pushed the Central Plains and its millions of inhabitants into the abyss? Wang Chong suddenly felt rather disappointed.

“If you had decided to fight to the death with me instead of running, I would have had a somewhat higher opinion of you.”

His eyes were filled with derision that stabbed straight into An Lushan’s heart.

An Lushan finally understood that no matter how much he begged, Wang Chong would never let him go.

An Lushan’s heart erupted with anger, his fists clenching as his eyes filled with hatred.

“So it really is like this! But why don’t I feel the slightest bit surprised!?”

An Lushan had been kneeling on the ground and begging for his life, but now, he stood up and angrily smiled.

“The same eyes. You’re just like Zhang Shougui and all the other nobles of the Great Tang! Just because we were born as Hu, we were born low-class and meant to look up at your noses?”

An Lushan gnashed his teeth in madness, and Wang Chong instantly frowned.

“An Lushan, you harbored treasonous intentions and intended to rebel, killing countless people and even plotting to push the entire world into the flames of war. You brought all this on yourself and deserve ten thousand deaths. What does it matter if you are Hu or Han?” Wang Chong coldly said.

“Killing countless people?”

An Lushan angrily laughed, derision in his eyes. “Didn’t you force me to this? Did you think I was born this way, was born with a desire to destroy the Great Tang?

“Back in the Andong Protectorate, I was a great hero admired by all, and I once admired the style of the Great Tang and was filled with endless longing.

“They said that the Great Tang was a land of incredible treasure and prosperity. It was the center of the world, and whether one was Hu, Han, Khitan, Goguryeon… all of them could become subjects of the Great Tang and receive the same treatment!

“The Emperor of the Great Tang was the Heavenly Khagan! The greatest sovereign in the world!

“I saw resplendent satin from Sichuan, exquisite porcelain, flowing rolls of silk, studied the ‘Book of Changes’, the ‘Analects’, the ‘Book of History’, the ‘Guanzi’… I once believed that I had beheld heaven on earth and even swore an oath that I would become a Tang no matter what and protect this empire with my life!

“Because of this, I fought with countless people and was rejected and mocked by many other Hu. They said that the Hu belonged on the steppe, but I wanted to be a Tang.

“Though I was Hu, I loved the Great Tang more than any other Hu!

“But in the end, what did I get?!

“I was a beast! A Hu slave! I got beating after beating, as well as unprovoked assassination attempts, and you say that I brought this on myself and deserve ten thousand deaths!”

An Lushan’s eyes were red as he glared at Wang Chong and roared.

At this moment, he tore away the disguise that had concealed himself for so long, revealing his true self. All his anger, dissatisfaction, and those things he had buried deep within his heart and spoken to no one about all spilled out.
