Chapter 330 - Angelic God and Rakshasa God

Chapter 330 - Angelic God and Rakshasa God

All of a sudden, the two people soaring up from the disorderly formation of the Spirit Empire weren’t humans. They were Gods. Covered entirely in the Angelic God Armament was the Angelic God Qian Ren Xue. Bibi Dong was hovering next to her in a dark purple armor. Also, Tang San could now see clearer that the commander of the Spirit Empire was the Spirit Empire’s Holy Maiden, Hu Lie Na.

Blue flowery light appeared quietly, swirling around Tang San. Blue halo flashed. The entire Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass had turned into a bright blue world, fiercely pushing away the dark purple and the gold-red colors in the sky. Tang San jumped up then appeared in mid-air.

How could it be? Tang San’s mind was blank. Everything had been in his control, but he had never thought this could happen.

It’s true that the force of one hundred thousand remaining armed soldiers of the Spirit Empire was insignificant. However, the Rakshasa God Bibi Dong and the Angelic God Qian Ren Xue here could subvert the whole formation of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Bibi Dong’s appearance had been changed dramatically. She used to be an exquisite lady with a noble posture. Even though they were enemies, Tang San had to admit that from her aura, she was the most aristocratic woman in this world. But at this moment, what she was exposing, was only the extremely sinister aura. It wasn’t exaggerating when describing her as having a “fiendish appearance”. Her pale purple face matched perfectly with her dark purple armor. Dark purple mist came out from everywhere on her armor, bringing out the extreme devilish aura. On her back, there were four long sickles, arranged in two lines.

Needless to say, the current Bibi Dong wasn’t the previous one. Her aura was full of ferocious features, but the surging power was absolutely a true god power. Tang San found out that it was her powers that had prevented his divine sense and covered both Qian Ren Xue’s and her aura.

Looking at Bibi Dong, Tang San lowered his voice, “You were back three days ago, right?”

Bibi Dong smiled coldly.

“Boy, you didn’t expect that, right? It’s not only you and her that could become gods. I’ve had the Rakshasa God’s powers. Your inheritance process is too simple compared to mine. To take the Rakshasa God’s inheritance, I have spent twenty years. You have never wondered why Qian Dao Liu, who had the highest power at the Spirit Hall, had never dared to touch me? It’s because he could feel the god’s aura on me. If I hadn’t been taking the inheritance that made my spirit power weaker, you would have had no chance to beat me. Did you forget that I also have the twin spirits? Now, I’ve completed the inheritance. At the beginning of the inheritance, I had had the powers of a peak Douluo and the twin spirits combined. What differences does it make if you could break through the legions of my spirit masters? I’m back now. Doulou Continent is my stage from now on.”

Tang San eyed Bibi Dong coldly.

“Well, speaking that way, aren’t you afraid that the wind could come into your stomach and make you sick?”

Bibi Dong laughed. Her laugh was sharp, echoing in people’s ears, giving them an irritating feeling. It also made Tang San’s Sea God Domain seething.

“Tang San, how can you still be arrogant at this time? Yeah, you’re strong. Even among the younger generations, I admit that you are absolutely brilliant. Even my daughter, who has the Angelic God powers, couldn’t be your match. But now, you are not facing only her. Even if we go one-on-one, you still can’t defeat me, let alone facing both Gods at the same time. What chance do you have now? Today is your death anniversary! You’re right. I was here three days ago. But I missed that great fight, letting you take the upper hand. I’ve been subtle for three days to cure Little Xue’s wounds.”

Tang San suddenly smiled, “Bibi Dong, is this your confidence? If you think that you can defeat me, why did you have to wait for three days? Seems your divine sense is not good enough.”

Qian Ren Xue had kept silent for the whole time, now she finally uttered with a cold voice, looking at Tang San.

“No need to babble. Bibi Dong, remember this, up to now, I haven’t admitted that I’m your daughter. Kill Tang San first, we should solve our matters later!”

Bibi Dong glared at Qian Ren Xue as her eyes had turned into an emerald color. Inside that emerald layer, her black pupils were eccentrically prominent. A giant dark purple sickle appeared in her hand. At the same time, Qian Ren Xue was holding her Angelic Sacred Sword. They then detached.

To Tang San, all had happened fast. When he hadn’t succeeded in chasing after Qian Ren Xue, he didn’t feel quite right, but he had no time to care that much. He had planted a seed of failure in Qian Ren Xue’s heart anyway. She would have no chance to threaten him. Moreover, she was not a match for him with her general strength.

Nonetheless, Bibi Dong’s appearance had destroyed everything. Being regretful now couldn’t do anything. Although he knew that, he couldn’t help but let a gleam of regret sparked in his eyes. Since he had defeated Bibi Dong, Tang San hadn’t given more concerns to her. Especially after Qian Ren Xue had become God, he had considered her his only opponent. Until when he had become the Sea God, he didn’t see Bibi Dong, the one who he could defeat even before he had become a God, as a deadly threat. He had underestimated his opponents. Both Bibi Dong and he had the twin spirits, and they had all reached the peak Douluo level ninety-nine. How could she not think about being God?

If that day, he had killed Qian Ren Xue then come back to rescue the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, he wouldn’t have been in this passive condition. If his opponent were only Bibi Dong, he could at least risk his life. No one knew the result. However, his enemies now were two Gods. One God versus two gods, this wasn’t as simple as one spirit master having to face other two spirit masters of the same level.

The corner of his mouth slightly rose, beaming a gleam of irony. Three days ago, when he had been facing Qian Ren Xue, he had been able to prevent her from dragging him to hell altogether. However, the wind had changed now. He was now the one who would recklessly risk his life with his opponents.

A deadly silence covered all of the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. The soldiers there didn’t feel much fear because Tang San in their hearts was an invincible figure. Quite the contrary, the supreme spirit masters all knew that the current situation was absolutely not fine. From the Angelic God’s energy from Qian Ren Xue, they could figure out that Bibi Dong was also a God now. It would be all right if Tang San had to face only Qian Ren Xue. But now there were two Qian Ren Xue, facing both of them, would he have a chance to win?

When worry had enveloped the whole Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass, the fight in the air had begun.

Tang San, who was going to do a one-on-two took action first.

Blue light suddenly ceased. Tang San’s body promptly plunged higher. Eight wings on his back opened at once, flapping with all their strength, making his body shooting up like a blue meteor. He was dashing toward Qian Ren Xue on the left. He had retrieved the Sea God Domain instantly, scaled it around his body. At that short blink of an eye, his body was covered entirely with the blue light; it was hard to see through.

Qian Ren Xue was startled. Even though she was with Bibi Dong now, facing Tang San, the oppressing feeling in her heart hadn’t ceased. Every time she fought with him, she had always fallen into a disadvantaged position. This routine set her mind and divine sense into restraint every time she faced Tang San. She could never understand why. Seeing Tang San was dashing towards her, the Angelic Sacred Sword in her hand was put in a vertical position. Blazing sunlight bloomed from her sword as her body had turned into a gold light sphere, ready to receive Tang San’s attack.

Tang San attacked Qian Ren Xue on purpose. He had fought with her several times, and it helped him understand her abilities. He could take the upper hand easier. Compared to attacking Bibi Dong, facing Qian Ren Xue was a more certain option. One on two. If he didn’t start it first to take the upper hand, this god battle would leave him with no chances to survive. Confronting the two gods, mother, and daughter, who were full of divine energy now, he didn’t feel confident at all.

Bibi Dong didn’t expect that Tang San would attack them right away. However, her countenance didn’t change, silently swung her sickle. An eccentric phenomenon happened. The purple light she had radiated gathered with her massive sickle, creating a tremendous purple sickle, which was more than one hundred meters long, slashing Tang San from his behind. Attack to defend, it’s the best option of “Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao” .

But Tang San had come in front of Qian Ren Xue before her slash could catch him. Seeing the familiar Solar Pure Flame, the divine light in his eyes burst out. However, when he was roughly thirty meters away from Qian Ren Xue, he was forced to stop violently. He had been using all his Sea God’s powers to storm over her; now he had to stop, it was like he had used his force to strike against himself. His complexion slightly changed. Apparently, he got hit. Nevertheless, his moves didn’t delay, flowing smoothly like a stream and finished his plan.

The Sea God Armament on his body blasted out loudly. Dazzling light immediately ceased. His body, the armor, and the Sea God Trident had fused, making a colossal Sea God Trident in just a blink of an eye. Blue light furiously burst out, timely received Bibi Dong’s attack.

Bibi Dong had never seen this strike of Tang San’s before. Qian Ren Xue was experienced, but she was focusing on defending. At this moment when Tang San had paused then changed his target, they didn’t have any time for other reflexes.

Three of them were God. It could use the image of the electric strike to describe their attack’s speed. In the battle between gods, sense was the most important feature. When their senses went wrong, they had to pay big.

The Sea God Trident had also turned into a pure gold color. The familiar gold light burst out, confronting the earth-splitting sickle. Right after that, the Golden Trident spun one round, luring the massive purple sickle and all of its attack power to leap to Qian Ren Xue. Qian Ren Xue was hovering around twenty meters away from Tang San; when the Trident swirled one round, the purple sickle had come to Qian Ren Xue.

BANG ——

Even Tang San had to be astounded seeing the result. Qian Ren Xue, who was covered in a thick red-gold sphere, got struck out of her protection by that giant purple sickle. She screeched in mid-air; apparently, she had gotten hurt.

Was Bibi Dong that strong? Even though he had used the Big Dipper to take advantage, Tang San had to acclaim silently. Qian Ren Xue’s reflexes weren’t that fast, and she was hesitating as he suddenly changed his attack’s direction disordering her rhythm, but still, she was a God. Bibi Dong’s strike could send her away, which meant it had carried out a massive amount of energy. Moreover, even though Tang San could use his powers to change the attack’s direction, he also felt an ice-cold divine sense darting towards him. He had to use a big amount of his divine sense to keep that devilish aura from getting into his body.

“Good. Cunning boy.”

The purple figure flashed. Bibi Dong rose her hand. Just with a simple move, the giant sickle had slid in front of Tang San, making a bizarre curve in front of the Golden Trident.

Gold halo flashed as a gold figure stepped out from the Golden Trident. It was Tang San. However, his Sea God Armament was now gold instead of the original blue color. The Golden Trident in his hand drew a massive circle in the air. A perfect disc appeared. The Unfixed Storm was facing Bibi Dong’s attack.

Clinking sounds and explosions echoed in the air. Tang San felt the Golden Trident in his hands was shaking; his speed was reduced. The purple sickle in Bibi Dong’s hand wasn’t much stronger than him. But the sinister aura hiding inside had taken a chance when the two divine weapons had impacted to penetrate his divine sense, irritating him. Obviously, the Sea God’s powers with the power of Light couldn’t hold the unique sinister aura of that Rakshasa God Bibi Dong. Qian Ren Xue understood this well. Several days ago, she couldn’t dissolve Rakshasa God’s ferocious aura with her pure, holy powers of the Angelic God, let alone Tang San, who had only a tiny bit of the Light power.

BANG—

Tang San and Bibi Dong quickly split in the air. A dark purple air current was tangling around Tang San’s body. At the same time, there was a blue energy vortex on Bibi Dong’s body. Their divine senses had intruded their opponent’s body at once. Apparently, no one could take the upper hand.

However, Tang San’s situation was worse. He had used the Big Dipper, taking external force to attack Qian Ren Xue as he could use that moment to balance himself and maintain his flying ability. After he had struck out the last strike of the Golden Thirteen Halberds, he had to face Bibi Dong’s attack immediately, of course, he had been well prepared. Lucky him, Tang San had used the true powers of the Sea God to maintain himself.

Only when he performed the Golden Thirteen Halberds, which made his Sea God Armament gold that was the time his Sea God’s powers and his divine sense had fused altogether. It was like when Qian Ren Xue had totally fused with her Solar Pure Flame. Thus, it could be seen how careful Tang San was when he had fought with Qian Ren Xue as he had always been prepared. However, the current situation didn’t give him time to prepare.

Tang San understood that now he couldn’t stop if he didn’t want to be smashed by this mother and daughter God duo.

Thus, when Tang San and Bibi Dong detached, his eight wings started to flutter. His body then swayed in the air, using the abundant energy from Bibi Dong’s attack to speed up and fly away.

At this moment, Qian Ren Xue had just stabilized herself; her face paled again as purple nimbus constantly flared on her exquisite Angelic God Armament. Bibi Dong had a deep-to-bone resentment toward Tang San. Moreover, her first attack had been accumulated carefully before striking out. Even Qian Ren Xue was a God, she couldn’t reduce its attack power much. Being hurt was unavoidable. Anyway, her Angelic Domain had a pure power of Light, which could strongly resist the sinister aura of the Rakshasa God. Even so, from her grimaced countenance, apparently, she had gotten hurt.

After three days, Qian Ren Xue’s Angelic God Armament had been recovered. However, at the fight that day, she had spent too much energy in an attempt to kill both Tang San and her, which had cost her vitality. It couldn’t be fully restored in just a short period. Moreover, Tang San suddenly changed his attack, using the Big Dipper surprisingly; this had left her with some minor damages.

Qian Ren Xue didn’t have time to adjust herself, that gold figure had plunged into her vision. Qian Ren Xue sighed inside. Tang San, do you really want to eradicate me? Gold light sparked in her eyes, under such circumstances, Qian Ren Xue made a decision that Tang San had never expected.

She bit her tongue, then spat blood on the Angelic Sacred Sword as her aura suddenly leaped. A loud explosion echoed. In this flash, the Angelic Armament on her body exploded, turning into a circle of flame in the air. She was using the massive Solar Pure Flame energy from the explosion of her Angelic Armament to form a colossal Angel shadow. The sudden tremendous energy that burst out all of a sudden had turned the whole space into darkness. This was the Solar Angel that she had used to risk her life with Tang San three days ago.

But there was something different. Qian Ren Xue now didn’t use the Solar Angel to attack Tang San directly. She was controlling the massive Solar Angel’s energy, condensing it in front of her, using that invincible Solar Pure Flame to block Tang San’s way.

When cornered, a dog could jump over the wall, let alone a God. Tang San wouldn’t absolutely have thought about this. Currently, that mother and daughter duo were now taking the upper hand, why did she have to waste her original god power to do so? She had been the weakest god in this battle, but now she was the strongest. The scorching heat of her energy that was releasing was formidable. It turned the whole place into the Solar Angel state. This was really a deadly threat.

If Qian Ren Xue were a little bit late, she could create that effect since Tang San would have time to react. However, when Qian Ren Xue released the Solar Angel, the distance between him and her was roughly twenty meters. It was different now. The energy of the Solar Angel was really intimidating. Qian Ren Xue had burst out her divine powers in just a flash, wholly focused on Tang San. She was using the Solar Angel to strike out her extreme divine sense. Red-gold aureole burst out furiously. Six wings of the giant Solar Angel retracted instantly.

This bursting was different from that of three days ago. Three days ago, Qian Ren Xue made this strike when she had been fighting for a while and draining her powers. Today, at the beginning of the fight, she had used the strongest attack. Thus, she could spare a small bit of power to control herself while hovering in the air now.

Seeing Qian Ren Xue’s reaction, Bibi Dong stammered in fear. But this was a good chance; she shouldn’t let it go. Blinding purple light burst out. Besides the massive sickle in her hands, the other eight sickles on her back suddenly flew up, merging into one massive Rakshasa Scythe, covered with floating demonic dark scripture. It flew out of her hand, dashing directly to slash Tang San from behind.

The life-threatening strike came after him from behind, also the intimidating pressure he was facing. These had all made him understand one thing: in god battles, it would be very hard to control the entire place. Since they had reached this level, many difficulties also arose from time to time. As he thought he had controlled the situation, Qian Ren Xue’s crazy attack had himself failed just in a blink of an eye. It also put him into the clamp. He was facing two Gods at the same time, even though they could just react instinctively, they could still cooperate well using their divine senses.

BANG—

It wasn’t only Qian Ren Xue who knew how to risk her life with the opponent. Facing the disadvantage setup, Tang San finally burst out.

The fading shadow of the Golden Trident was transforming in the air. Strike was performed after strike, smoothly and exquisitely. Just in a blink, he had created numerous spear shadows. The Golden Thirteen Halberds, thirteen strikes combined into one. The Sea God’s power around Tang San, with the sudden explosion of his ten god-ranked spirit rings, was erupting as a furious volcano.

Also in this fraction of time, the Solar Angel was strongly forced to stop roughly ten meters away from him. Even with the Solar Angel’s tremendous power, at the moment he had exploded his rings, the Solar Pure Flame couldn’t come any closer.

The icy-cold voice reverberated in the air, which was full of extreme mourning.

“Sea -God -Afterglow -“

Tang San’s body and his Sea God Armament, at this moment, had turned into an eccentric topaz color. A colossal gold light pillar erupted from his body, aiming for the Solar Angel in front of him.

Water and fire are nemeses. When the pure Sea God’s power and Qian Ren Xue’s Solar Angel impacted, a tremendous shock that nothing could compare appeared in the sky.

An enormous white halo was expanding rapidly from the core of the collision. The whole space within five hundred meters from there was covered with blinding white light. Although it happened in the air, the spirit masters whose levels were lower than Title Douluo all fell down, crouching on the ground, didn’t dare to move.

The Solar Angel had vanished, but one-third of the massive gold light pillar still remained. That strike had proved the difference between Qian Ren Xue and him. However, the Sea God Afterglow couldn’t hit Qian Ren Xue.

Just in a blink, when the two intimidating divine powers collided, the Rakshasa Scythe also reached Tang San. Facing it was Tang San’s eight wings. His eight wings retracted, attempting to clamp the Rakshasa Scythe. However, the Rakshasa Bibi Dong’s full force attack and her divine weapon weren’t something that was easy to defend.

When the shockwave expanded, Tang San’s eight wings were smashed. The extra force from the impact between Angelic God’s power and Sea God’s power, plus the Sea God’s Eight Wing couldn’t dissolve the Rakshasa’s attack completely. Anyway, Tang San’s attack power had poured all on Qian Ren Xue who was floating in front of him. What he could do was to try his best to sway half a meter aside to save his heart. The dark purple light had pierced into his back, getting through the armament to his chest. Tang San couldn’t balance himself anymore, leaning forwards. That made the Sea God Afterglow deviated. Just one-third of the full force hit Qian Ren Xue, blowing her left arm away. The remaining force pushed her backwards, spinning violently, then fell.

“Damn it!” Bibi Dong got indignant, roaring loudly. A dark purple silky thread ejected from her body, coiling around Qian Ren Xue, pulling her up. She was a demonic god, but now she was filled with fear. Qian Ren Xue was nearly savaged by Tang San’s Sea God Afterglow. No matter how thin the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Ren Xue was, they had a blood bond. Qian Ren Xue was her daughter.

When Bibi Dong pulled Qian Ren Xue to her side, the Angelic God had gone into a coma. However, Bibi Dong’s god power couldn’t heal her. She could only let her recover by herself.

A dark purple light sphere came out from Bibi Dong’s right hand, aiming for the Rakshasa Scythe piercing in Tang San’s body. It made a snatching gesture. At this moment, her resentment towards Tang San had peaked, as she had ordered the Rakshasa Scythe to explode, attempting to destroy the one who had almost killed her daughter.

Puff -

Both of Tang San’s hands grabbed the Rakshasa Scythe that had pierced through his chest. His divine sense and the remaining god power, at this moment, all accumulated on his hands, fiercely oppressed the demonic light, not to let it approach the Rakshasa Scythe.

Tang San felt a cold aura vaguely came out from his soul.

Needless to say, under such deadly circumstances, defeating Qian Ren Xue, depriving her fighting ability and almost killing her, those were all what he could do with his best. However, he was facing two Gods at the same time! Moreover, Bibi Dong was much stronger than Qian Ren Xue. Her full force bursting had him struggling.

Is this the time that my life comes to an end? The cold feeling was getting stronger as if it wanted to devour his soul.

Tang San held the Rakshasa Scythe tightly, gradually took it out from his chest. The sound of the Rakshasa Scythe rubbing on the Sea God Armament made people on both sides, who were watching the fight, shiver.

“Little San—“

Tang Hao’s anger had come to his heart. He furiously flew up from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. While he was plunging, the Clear Sky Hammer had been sent out, also performing the Great Sumeru Technique. Nine spirit rings exploded at the same time, pouring all power into his Clear Sky Hammer, aiming for Bibi Dong.

Grandmaster almost jumped up at the same time with Tang Hao; he screamed hoarsely. However, he didn’t have the ability to help Tang San. His hands clutched onto the wall until his fingers tip had been broken and bleeding.

BANG—

A massive figure soared up from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. It was a giant Bone Dragon. This was the ninth spirit ability of the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Ossifying Godly Dragon. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was standing on his back.

Seven-color light also projected from the Auspicious Hill Mountain Pass. Ning Feng Zhi’s boost was all placed on their bodies. They had only one purpose now, which was to take Tang San back from Bibi Dong’s hands.

Bibi Dong coldly snorted. Her right hand was still controlling the Rakshasa Scythe, while the dark purple threat had put Qian Ren Xue down to the ground, on Hu Lie Na’s embrace. Her left hand waved in the air, releasing a dark purple beam from underneath her, facing the full force strike of the Clear Sky Hammer’s Exploding Ring.

BANG—

Countless rays sparked in the air. Bibi Dong’s complexion slightly changed. She didn’t expect that Tang Hao’s attack could be that furious. With his full force attack, he was reaching the god-ranked level.

As she had countered Tang Hao’s attack, Bibi Dong’s divine sense, which was controlling Tang San, suddenly surged. Tang San took this chance to haul out the Rakshasa Scythe from his chest. A stream of gold blood scattered in the air.

“Hm.”

Bibi Dong harrumphed coldly. The Rakshasa Scythe in his hand suddenly blew up, turning into nine giant scythes and exploded in front of him. Both of his hands which were clutching onto the scythe were smashed. The Sea God Armament on his arms had also cracked into pieces, scattering everywhere. After he had launched the Sea God Afterglow, his spirit power was feeble, wasn’t enough to defend Bibi Dong’s attack. He groaned then fell down. Fortunately, he had used his divine sense to put the Sea God Trident horizontally in mid-air to reluctantly stop the nine scythes from chasing after him.

The giant sword slashed across the sky. Sword Douluo Chen Xin and his sword were fused into one body, plunging from the Ossifying Godly Dragon to Bibi Dong. At this moment, the eyes of this Sword Douluo were filled with the extreme determination of risking his life. Under such intensive circumstances, his strike had become the strongest strike he had ever made during his whole life.

The giant body of the Bone Douluo also hit Bibi Dong directly. The bones of his entire body were glowing with dazzling light.

At this moment, two elders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had put all their spirit powers, their vitality into this bursting strike. They understood that if Tang San died in Bibi Dong’s hands now, even if the Spirit Empire didn’t have any other supreme spirit masters, it would still be a disaster for the Heaven Dou Empire.

The sinister visage of Bibi Dong was full of disgust. Light flashed, and she had disappeared, leaving her nine demonic scythes right where she had just stood.

“Bibi Dong, you dare!”

Tang San roared in indignation. Divine light burst out from his eyes as he reluctantly balanced himself in the air. Facing Bibi Dong who had just appeared abruptly in front of him, he didn’t feel fear. In just a blink of an eye, an immense divine power erupted out from Tang San’s body. Two gold rays shot out from his eyes like electric lightning, directly hitting Bibi Dong.

A strange feeling arose in Bibi Dong’s heart. She understood that these two rays were the very last drops of Tang San’s divine energy. This was the strike that he had bet everything he had. However, no matter how much she was wiggling, she still couldn’t dodge them. It seemed that she was being restrained by the lights from his eyes. Her soul was as if it was screaming to get out of her body.

“Not good.”

Bibi Dong screamed. She had never thought that under this situation, Tang San could have gathered another strike at such tremendous power.

However, no matter what happened, Tang San couldn’t control the situation on the other side. Nine Rakshasa Scythes were facing the attacks from Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

They had collided almost at the same time. Numerous white bones scattered in the air. The Seven Kill Sword, his spirit, which had been with him for his whole life had broken. The two Tile Douluos, who had been famous on the Continent, had spent their last moment drastically in the air. This was the difference between humans and gods.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rong Rong, and Oscar finally got atop the wall. They were all pale. They had received the message late. When they came, they could only see the last impact between Bibi Dong and Tang San.

???: one of the stratagem in the Chinese’s Thirty-Six Stratagems- a series of stratagems used in politics, war, and civil interaction. The idea of “Besiege Wei to rescue Zhao” is to avoid a head-on battle with a strong enemy, and instead striking at his weakness elsewhere.
