Chapter 164: Chapter 61: Human Effort Cannot Mend a Fallen Heaven; Gu Xi Dies and Han Collapses (Part 4)

At the mouth of the valley, Gu Xi had also set an ambush.

In such chaos, how could Dong Zhuo easily escape?

Screams of agony continuously echoed.

Gu Xi stood atop the valley, watching this scene, his expression particularly complex.

Perhaps because of the overwhelming excitement in his heart, his hand was faintly trembling.

"We’ve won..."

"Truly won..."

Winning this battle would shock the world.

By then, people from all over could be rallied, using power to suppress all directions, recovering military control to enact reforms.

The Great Han.... could rise again!

At this moment, Gu Xi’s eyes even reddened.

Gu Yi was also witnessing this scene, his heart equally excited.

Could it really be... success?

If Gu Xi truly annihilates all the rebels in this battle, it would be a fatal blow to all the aristocratic families, and might indeed revive the Great Han.

This is a monumental change.

The reforms Gu Xi intended to implement could entirely change the Han Dynasty to a new regime.

Looking at the cycle of a dynasty in history.

If truly successful, it might extend the life of the Han for two hundred more years!

Wouldn’t it change everything thereafter?

If successful, the legacy of the Gu Clan’s generations could firmly establish an eternal foundation, right?

Gu Yi’s heart was racing, unwilling to miss any detail.

Cries of wailing resounded to the heavens.

The rebels, as if mad, charged toward the valley’s mouth.

But the Han Army hidden on both sides would not give them the chance, as dense arrows fell like rain.

Dong Zhuo was a bit despaired.

Looking at Li Ru beside him, he said regretfully, "Wen You, regret not heeding your words!"

"Today... you and I shall die here."

Li Ru was also in utter despair at this moment.

Only now did he fully realize what kind of opponent Gu Xi was.

Why no clans dared to oppose him openly.

Only daring to entice him!

In such circumstances, not caring at all about the supply depot behind, to directly launch a counter-ambush.

What kind of courage is this?

He sighed deeply, looked at Dong Zhuo, and said, "Lord Ming, saying this is now useless."

"We must not give up, we must break through the valley!"

As he spoke, he immediately bellowed, leading people to charge the valley again.

But at this moment, a loud boom suddenly resounded.

——Boom!

The loud boom, like thunder, instantly drowned out all worldly noises.

In an instant, both Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were taken aback, then simultaneously looked up at the darkening sky.

Unbeknownst to them, the sky was already overcast, dark clouds pressing low.

Then, raindrops quietly began to fall.

Drip... drip... drip...

This sudden change stunned everyone.

Even Gu Xi was taken aback.

He first slowly reached out to wipe the rain off his face, seemingly in disbelief, then suddenly looked up at the sky.

His whole body suddenly staggered.

"Rain!"

"It’s raining??"

Excited shouts continually erupted from within the valley, even drowning out the screams.

Dong Zhuo and Li Ru also found it hard to believe.

But seeing the reality, smiles appeared on both their faces.

"Heaven hasn’t forsaken me, heaven hasn’t forsaken me!"

Dong Zhuo laughed heartily, the despair on his face instantly vanished.

"Lord Ming, with divine aid, doesn’t this mean the lord is favored by the heavens?" Li Ru said excitedly.

Then, he suddenly looked up directly at Gu Xi on the cliff, shouting, "Grand Tutor, it is heaven’s will, why continue the struggle?"

Gu Xi didn’t respond, just stared blankly at the sky.

Raindrops increased....

In just a brief moment, it turned into a torrential downpour.

"Grand Tutor!"

The central army commanders wanted to shield Gu Xi from the rain, but Gu Xi pushed them away, his abyss-like eyes staring straight into the heavens, as if trying to see through the vast sky.

Suddenly, a trickle of blood slowly seeped out from the corner of his mouth, the crimson blood appearing unusually stark against the rain.

This unexpected downpour seemed to extinguish the blazing fire in his heart.

The fire within the valley weakened under the relentless rain.

The cries of "Celestial God protects" pushed the rebel morale to its peak within the valley.

In contrast, the Han Army seemed somewhat demoralized at this moment.

Even if they still held the advantageous terrain.

But the morale was gone.

And most crucially, at this time, shouts of fighting also came from outside the valley.

——It was the army led by Dong Zhuo’s son-in-law, Niu Fu.

He came to rescue Dong Zhuo.

Sounds of fighting instantly erupted, the rebels launching another assault on the valley’s entrance.

Gu Xi simply gazed blankly at the sky, his expression growing increasingly grim.

His head full of white hair already soaked by rain.

Suddenly, his whole body hunched over a lot.

"Grand Tutor!"

The surrounding generals tightly watched Gu Xi, anxiously asking, "What should we do?"

"Immediately return to the capital with the army, do not hesitate."

Gu Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, not looking at the others, and directly said, "Protect His Majesty."

Hearing this, all the generals were shocked, looking at Gu Xi in disbelief.

"Grand Tutor, what about you?"

Blood continued to seep from the corners of Gu Xi’s mouth, his eyes growing dimmer.

In this moment, many memories flooded his mind. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

At this moment, countless past memories surged like a tide into his heart.

He recalled his ambitious youth, wholeheartedly wanting to assist the Emperor and revitalize the Han Dynasty;
