Born in the wrong era

After a while the fight ended with both the real body and the clone severely injured. The golden phoenix emissary wanted to end the fight but the clone was unwilling so it could only fight to the end. The both of them were now severely wounded as they were fighting a battle to the death and the emissary had to admit that his clone had grown far more powerful and it was now beyond its control. The last time he checked he was able to easily suppress the clone and even wipe out some of its consciousness yet now he surprisingly found that no matter what he did he could not suppress the clone and after it's breakthrough the clone's consciousness has now become stronger and even he became wary of it. At this moment the both of them were on their last legs. Tie Hongchen had no intention of interfering in their conflict. She just stood by the side watching and fanning the flames." Golden emissary, you can't even defeat your own clone yet you want to fight me. I'd I say that your state of mind is flawed would you now believe it?" Tie Hongchen asked." What did you do to it? Although it has broken through he shouldn't have been able to disobey me unless you had your hands in it," the golden phoenix emissary said. Tie Hongchen just smiled as he stared mockingly at the emissary." Just a trick my husband left behind. The problem with you is that you are too overconfident and thinks that everything is under your control yet you don't know that you are being played for a fool," Tie Hongchen said with a smile." Just like now you think that by buying time you can convince your clone to merge with you but..." Tie Hongchen paused as she shifted her gaze from the golden emissary. "Another emissary. Hmmph. We will continue with this discussion another time. See you," Tie Hongchen said as she captured both the golden emissary and his clone and successfully retreated not giving the emissary any chance to resist. A figure dressed in purple appeared a few breathes later after Tie Hongchen retreated. Meanwhile the battle on the other side was very tragic and many people were dying with the shadow guild losing many people. The army trained by Tai Jian could not be underestimated as the army was made up of elite soldiers that had made it through many life and death situations and had stepped in mountains of bones and crossed rivers of blood to make it to their current level so they could not be underestimated but the shadow guild could also not be underestimated. The fighters that the army had fought with were only the weaker soldiers sent as cannon fodder and the real elites had yet to appear. This was more like a test because if the army could not even defeat the cannon fodder then how could they fight the elites of the shadow guild. Di Yi was calmly watching the fight between the two sides. His face showed no change in expression as he stared at the fight between the two sides." Master,number 2 lost. He has been caught by that girl," the purple dressed emissary reported with a solemn expression. Di Yi just nodded when he heard this." Fall back," Di Yi said. The purple dressed emissary was disappointed at Di Yi's reaction but she showed no surprise as she had already expected this. Di Yi was cruel and they knew it. To Di Yi, there were only two types of people; the useful ones and the useless ones. If you were useful to him he would probably train you as a top fighter giving you a lot of resources to nurture you but of you were useless then no matter how close you are to him or how much you've sacrificed for him he will discard you any moment. This was the bitter truth but so what? Everyone was a pawn in the first place and this game of chess was one between the real master of the shadow guild and the youngest prince of Qin state." What? You think that I am unfair?" Di Yi asked the purple emissary." I dare not," the purple emissary hurriedly replied with her head hanged low. She did not dare to stare at Di Yi. To them Di Yi was a king and they were just pawns but only Di Yi understood that in this game he might be a king but to the person above he was just a chess piece that could be discarded. The person above did not even consider Di Yi an opponent much less Tai Jian. To him,if Tai Jian was born earlier he might have been a powerful opponent but unluckily Tai Jian was born later so he could never catch up to him. Di Yi had only seen that person twice but he had never seen his real face. He was always covered by an obscure magic that he could never see through but one thing that he was sure of is that he was very powerful as that person could injure him with just a flick of his finger." If you cannot even tolerate this then how do you expect to catch up with the others. "Third,you might be strong but you are still emotionally weak. If you cannot get rid of these emotions then I am afraid that you will never be able to make it very far. The world is cruel so you have to adapt to its cruelness or you won't know when or where you will lose your life. To me ,all of you are just pieces that I trained but you should know that you are all replaceable and I can train a new batch of emissaries if you are gone and that is because I am strong. In this world if you are strong then you can do anything and can even go on rampage and very few people will be able to stop you ," Di Yi said. The purple emissary did not dare to rebuke Di Yi rather she bit her lips. "You are dismissed. The sooner you learn your position and situation the better it will be for you," Di Yi said." Can I not fight her?" The purple emissary asked timidly." No. Let's see of she is cruel enough to fight her sister," Di Yi said. The purple emissary left feeling dejected. She knew that she could not avoid it. After she got out of the building her eyes shone with determination. Since she could not avoid it she could only go with the floe but she would definitely not fight her sister. If not for the fact that she could not kill herself then she might have killed herself to avoid fighting her. Even Tie Hongchen did not know that her sister was an emissary in the shadow guild. If she knew.....After a while Tie Hongchen ordered a retreat and the army successfully retreated in an orderly manner. The deputy commander was very capable and the coordination of the army had reached perfection so it could be hard to find such a strong army if it was another era but in this era it was no longer as before and many strong figures had been born. It could be said that these figures had been born in the wrong era.
