Just when Sha Pojun was about to slay Xiao He, a sharp arrow pierced through the air.

Pew!

The sharp arrow accurately penetrate Sha Pojun's head. One shot and blood splattered.

"Uh!"

Sha Pojun stopped in his tracks, just as the spear was about to touch Xiao He, it dropped to the ground.

Dang, this sound signified the failure of Sha Pojun's mission.

In the last moments, Xiao He had escaped the depths of hell.

The one who saved him in the nick of time was Zhou Bo.

Amongst Liu Bang's generals, Zhou Bo was the most familiar with bows. Since he saw that it was too late to reach Xiao He, Zhou Bo decisively shot an arrow at Sha Pojun.

Sha Pojun transformed into a white light and disappeared. Along with him, Hua Xiong and his troops were all teleported out of the battle map.

Zhou Bo saving Xiao He also pushed Liu Bang's forces toward the end of their road. The moment Sha Pojun's forces disappeared, the remaining soldiers were not the opponents of the Shanhai Army and its allies.

In less than half an hour, the entire battlefield returned to normal.

The remaining soldiers either surrendered or were killed. Sha Pojun's two allies were similarly unable to escape their fates and were sent out of the battle map.

Although Sha Pojun had failed, he could not be called stupid in this case.

He was so close to succeeding.

At the last moment, if he killed Xiao He, he would have left Ouyang Shuo devastated. Similarly, Sha Pojun had gained something, Since his forces had killed Fan Kuai and Lu Wan, they had obtained two General Souls, which were similarly worth a lot.

After experiencing such a matter, Ouyang Shuo did not dare to be blindly confident.

He definitely could not underestimate anyone, especially people that were below him.

Seeing that things had ended like this, Cao Can, Zhou Bo, and Xia Houying could only surrender.

The only exception was Liu Bang.

The current Liu Bang had totally lost it and could not think straight. However, his current combat strength was terrifying, even Ouyang Shuo did not have the confidence of taking him down.

Luckily, Ouyang Shuo still had one killing move.

The killing aura on Liu Bang was like a real entity; the red dragon on his body became more and more evil.

There was no one within ten meters of him.

Ouyang Shuo held onto his Tianmo Spear and slowly entered the circle.

Outside of the encirclement of the army, a flash of anxiousness appeared on Feng Qiuhuang’s face.

The special poison in Ouyang Shuo's body was just temporarily suppressed, and it was not removed. Feng Qiuhuang was worried whether the current Ouyang Shuo could still fight.

Especially when facing such an opponent.

It had never crossed Ouyang Shuo's mind to go head-to-head against Liu Bang. He slowly walked toward Liu Bang, raising his head and staring at the red dragon.

The red dragon seemingly felt his gaze and turned to look at Ouyang Shuo.

Chi!

When it saw Ouyang Shuo, it grew even crazier.

Seeing the red dragon provoke him, Ouyang Shuo coldly smirked. He took out the Golden Qilin Seal. Instantly, a strong emperor aura charged toward the red dragon.

Aang!

When the red dragon saw the Golden Qilin Seal, a flash of fear appeared in its eyes.

The emperor aura was the weakness of all evil.

The specialty of the Golden Qilin Seal suppressed all evil.

Ward off Devils and Spirits: Incorruptible and wards off evil.

A golden light shot out from the seal and entered the red dragon.

Ao!

The red dragon could not even avoid the ray; it let out a painful cry.

The golden light exploded within the red dragon's body, and the evil power dissolved at a visible rate. The red color slowly disappeared, and the red dragon gradually regained normality.

It raised its head and looked at Liu Bang. It actually did not care and broke out of his body. It charged straight toward Ouyang Shuo.

It was as if the red dragon wanted to change its master.

It could feel the vast and overflowing emperor aura in Ouyang Shuo's body.

Luck and prosperity were normally used to nurture dragons.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he gave out a cold smile.

Ouyang Shuo did not want the red dragon.

Just as the red dragon was about to enter his body, Ouyang Shuo suddenly aimed the seal toward it. A huge suction force came out of the seal and sucked in the dragon spirit.

Ao!

The red dragon was stunned. The golden seal pulled the red dragon’s illusionary body part by part into itself. Then, the red dragon disappeared.

When the surrounding soldiers saw the situation, they were awed.

They had not expected Ouyang Shuo to suppress and tame such a special dragon spirit so easily. The more shocking part was that Ouyang Shuo was indifferent toward the true dragon possession that everyone wanted.

The palace guards had a face full of worship.

Ouyang Shuo did not bother about the uproar and looked at the golden seal, only to see a small red dragon swimming around inside.

Seeing that, Ouyang Shuo nodded his head in glee.

To unseal the Golden Qilin Seal, he needed the essence of a Qilin. Hence, the dragon spirit would only have minimal effects on the seal. Ouyang Shuo had other plans for this spirit. For now, he just temporarily stored it in the seal.

Ouyang Shuo raised his head and looked at Liu Bang.

The moment the red dragon left his body, Liu Bang instantly looked tens of years older. His energy dropped by a large grade.

Xiao He raised his head to take a look and found that Liu Bang’s face seemed more obscure.

Totally different from his previous appearance.

Seeing that, Xiao He let out a long sigh.

After the red dragon left his body, Liu Bang gradually regained his consciousness, and the blood red color in his eyes disappeared. Although his mind was still a little blurry, he knew what had happened around him.

After he regained his senses, he was even more stunned.

"Liu Bang!"

Liu Bang turned his head and looked at Ouyang Shuo.

"You lost!"

When Liu Bang heard that, he laughed, looking at his army that was taken down he said, “I've failed, deal with me as you wish."

The current Liu Bang still possessed his arrogance.

Ouyang Shuo nodded, as his eyes turned to look at the Chixiao Sword in Liu Bang’s hand. At this time, he really did not have the face to personally take the sword.

Luckily, Wang Feng was alert.

He walked up and retrieved the blade.

"You can leave!"

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and asked Liu Bang to leave.

"Hen!"

Liu Bang snatched a war horse. He did not even turn his head, as he left. As for Xiao He and the others, Liu Bang knew that there was nothing he could do.

Out of all his generals, Fan Kuai and Lu Wan were the most loyal to him. The others were basically friends with him because of the way he acted.

After such a fiasco, their thoughts had changed and wavered.

Was the current Liu Bang worth them following?

Probably!

However, Ouyang Shuo did not give them any time to think, as he wanted to recruit all four of them. He called Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang over.

"Out of the four, you can each choose one!"

Since the start, their two elite troops had contributed a lot. Without the thousand of them, it would be really risk to solely rely on the three thousand palace Guards.

Hence, Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang naturally had the rights to split the rewards.

"Anyone?"

"Anyone!"

Feng Qiuhuang teased, “Then I want Xiao He!"

"Er!" Ouyang Shuo's face froze.

"Ha, got you!"

Feng Qiuhuang shook her head in amusement. Bai Hua also rolled her eyes at Ouyang Shuo. The two of them were really smart. They knew that Ouyang Shuo came all the way because of Xiao He.

Naturally, they would not take it too far. They were already grateful that Ouyang Shuo brought them along, so they would not ask for too much.

Out of the four, Xiao He was obviously the top and worth ten of the others.

Apart from them, Cao Can and Zhou Bo were a little better than Xia Houying.

In the end, Bai Hua chose Cao Can and Feng Qiuhuang chose Zhou Bo.

Both of their strengths were comparable, and they were all rounded.

Comparatively, Cao Can was better as a civil servant, while Zhou Bo was better as a general.

Consonance City had Zhao Liao as its general, so they needed a good civil servant.

Consonance Studio used to run guilds, so they were lacking in terms of territory running skills. Cao Can was undoubtedly the most suitable for them.

Meanwhile, Fallen Phoenix City had Wang He. Although he was a great general, he lacked a little in quality. Hence, Zhou Bo was more suitable for Fallen Phoenix City.

In terms of running a territory, Feng Qiuhuang was better than Bai Hua.

Naturally, the remaining Xiao He and Xia Houying went to Ouyang Shuo.

As for what the four wanted?

They were all prisoners, so they did not have a say.

If they were not willing to work, they would still have to move over.

Once they returned to the main map, as long as they were not as stubborn as Jiangshang, it would be okay.

This was why Ouyang Shuo had allowed Liu Bang to leave.

He did not arrange for Wang Feng to kill Liu Bang to earn some additional battle points. With his current status, he should be more magnanimous when handling matters.

Looking back, killing King Zhou Wu during the Battle of Muye seemed a little petty.

If not, the matter with Jiangshang would not have ended in such a manner.

Packing up all the things, Ouyang Shuo ordered the troops to rush back to the Julu Battlefield. After leaving for so long, who knows how the battle had progressed.

With Xiang Yu's ability, he would not concede without a fight.

The current Julu was definitely in flames.

One to two million troops massacring one another. Solely thinking about it was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.

Comparatively, the battle outside of Su County was a small matter.

Thinking about that, Ouyang Shuo did not even think about walking into Su County. He just hurriedly left.

Hopefully, they would be able to make it back in time.

On the way back, Ouyang Shuo took a look at their stats.
