Reinforcements arrived for the Beishuo army, boosting their morale, but confusion arose when the allied troops under Gu Tianxiong unexpectedly advanced towards the city gate instead of engaging the enemy. Yang Jian realized with horror that these were not reinforcements, but rather Lu Yang and Gu Tianxiong himself, who had seemingly betrayed them. Xia Chuan then ordered his powerful Sword Puppet to attack Yang Jian.

"The entire army retreat, the entire army retreat..."

Clang!!!

Yang Jian raised his long spear high, blocking Sword Puppet’s arms, turning his head towards the battlefield and shouting loudly, his voice filled with panic and fear.

Not just him, Yang Jian and the other five Xianyang Level from Beishuo quickly followed behind, issuing orders and urging the Beishuo Soldiers on the battlefield to retreat into the city.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

"Wasn’t it you who took the initiative to attack? Now wanting to retreat, it’s too late!"

Xia Chuan’s cold laughter ended just as Lu Yang, who had already flown to the base of Baimu City gate, spoke up after him.

"Black Arrow, Qing Jiao, East Sun three armies, follow this general to kill the enemy, the remaining four thousand men hold the gate, no one is allowed in!"

The ten thousand troops led by Lu Yang had already pierced into the area beneath the city gate. With his command, sixty percent of the soldiers were immediately split off, turning towards the north, charging at the retreating Beishuo Soldiers.

"Charge..."

Lu Yang commanded, leading the charge himself, his longsword slashing out thousands of feather-like light, forcibly overturning dozens of retreating soldiers in the first wave, including a Xianyang Level warlord.

Gu Tianxiong and his two brothers followed closely behind, their blades whirling. With the four cooperating, hundreds of Beishuo Soldiers couldn’t advance an inch, relying only on sacrificing lives in vain.

Whoosh...

The Flag Commanders of Black Arrow, Qing Jiao, East Sun three armies followed behind him, planting three Command Flags directly within the depths of the Beishuo Army formation, with fifteen Flag Commanders plus Lu Yang’s four Xianyang Level nailed like wedges a hundred meters opposite the city gate.

The purpose of the Xia Army Command Flag is to guide the soldiers in charge direction. During large-scale battles, soldiers sometimes become so engrossed in killing that distinguishing friend from foe becomes difficult, let alone understanding the position; the visible Command Flag aptly fills this gap.

"Charge!"

"Attack!"

...

Six thousand elite soldiers, like three sharp swords, rushed north like a fierce tiger out of its cage, colliding head-on with Beishuo Soldiers trying to retreat south.

"It’s over, it’s over..."

Yang Jian was already a bit dazed, the overwhelming strength gap between Beishuo Army and Xia Army was too much for him to bear, and Gu Tianxiong and his brothers’ betrayal undoubtedly felt like another dagger stabbed into his heart.

He glanced around at the corpses of Beishuo Soldiers scattered everywhere, realizing it all stemmed from his decision to take the initiative attack, sending him spiraling into deep self-doubt, his expression even somewhat dazed.

"Third brother, don’t panic! Get people back into the city first, then talk. Lu Yang only has ten thousand, he can’t stop us!"

Second brother Yang Fa’s words snapped him back to reality.

He gritted his teeth, staring at Lu Yang, then quickly shifted his gaze to Gu Tianxiong and his brothers, murderous intent surged in his pupils.

"Traitors, traitors, you three traitors, go die..."

His anger couldn’t be suppressed anymore, ignoring Xia Chuan and the Red Silver Blade Puppet, he directly gripped his spear and charged towards the south gate.

The target was clearly the Gu Tianxiong brothers.

Traitors are always the most hateful, Yang Jian knew his decision to take the attack was a huge mistake, but this didn’t mean the backstabbing Gu Tianxiong brothers were blameless.

Describing Yang Jian’s current inner fury as burning with rage would be an understatement, he now only wished to crush their bones and scatter their ashes.

He ignored Lu Yang and surrounding Xia Army soldiers entirely, his body suddenly exploded in a burst of blood light and vanished instantly, appearing right in front of Gu Tianxiong the next moment.

Swoosh...

"Backstabbing traitor, die for me!"

The blood light and spear point united, piercing directly towards Gu Tianxiong’s face.

Yang Jian’s furious strike had unleashed his strongest power.

Clearly, in his mind, Gu Tianxiong had to be killed today!

Gu Tianxiong hadn’t expected Yang Jian would charge at him so recklessly, his fear of this Lord was evident, as soon as he saw the blood light, despair flooded his pupils, instinctively turning to Lu Yang for help.

Lu Yang certainly wouldn’t sit idly by and let him be killed, but the issue was, how could his speed compare to Yang Jian’s Blood Escape Technique?

He was already rushing over, but it was far too late, simply impossible to make it.

Gu Tianxiong’s eyes were filled with gloom, almost seeing his own death.

However, just at this critical moment.

A soldier clad in Iron Armor suddenly leaned close to his side.

The area around the city gate had long since become a battlefield, soldiers were perhaps the least noticeable presence at this moment, the soldier within the crowd was not special at all, except that he was very close to Gu Tianxiong.

Yang Jian, of course, wouldn’t dignify an ordinary soldier by noticing them, his spear point cutting through the air, madly lunging at Gu Tianxiong’s head.

Clang...

"Third brother, watch out!"

Yang Fa on the flank seemed to sense something, suddenly shouted a warning.

No one on the massive battlefield noticed that just as Yang Jian recklessly aimed to slay Gu Tianxiong, Xia Chuan who had been in the center of the battlefield all along was simultaneously targeted by a blood-red spear gleam.
