Xia Army soldiers used Cloud Ladders to scale the city walls, facing fierce resistance. Wang Yuan fought brutally, overpowering enemy officers. Below, a massive battering ram repeatedly struck the city gates, causing them to crumble. As despair set in among the defenders, they noticed key figures like Yang Zhun were absent.

The name of a person casts a shadow like a tree.

Since the Battle of Hongmen eight years ago in Great Xia, when Xia Hong defeated Yang Zhun and ascended to the throne as the strongest warrior of the Southern Slope, his reputation spread thoroughly across all towns in the Southern Slope.

In the past four years, Xia Hong had no public records of making a move, and even people of Great Xia barely understood his true strength, not to mention the people from other towns.

However, even so, Xia Hong’s prestige as the strongest in the Southern Slope remained unaffected. In fact, because he never made a move easily and never appeared publicly, it only intensified his mysterious nature, making people curious about his strength while deepening the fear of him from the northern towns.

As it turns out, the fears of the northern towns were not misplaced at all!

In last night’s battle in Baimu City, Xia Hong made his move again after four years. He first decapitated Army Chief Yang Jian with a thunderous force and then nearly killed Yang Zhun. If it hadn’t been for Town Chief Yang Fa and five other Xianyang Level warriors risking their lives to save him, Yang Zhun would likely not have escaped back to Town.

Although Yang Zhun eventually escaped back, Yang Fa and the five Xianyang Levels fell into the hands of Great Xia, and now their life or death is unknown.

Mo Haiwen broke through to the Xianyang Level nearly four years ago, and coincidentally, he was present at the Battle of Hongmen at that time, so his impression of Xia Hong was extraordinarily deep.

Therefore, when he looked up and saw Xia Hong holding a long saber in the sky, his pupils immediately revealed a touch of despair, and Yu Dongxin, who stood beside him, also paled instantly, not much better than him.

"Surrender! Yang Zhun and the Yang Family people didn’t come out, yet they let you die in vain here, why bother for him..."

"Shut up!"

Interrupted by a sharp voice, Xia Hong’s face slightly stiffened. He lowered his head and looked at Mo Haiwen below, his pupils flashing with a hint of murderous intent.

"I, having received the lord’s grace, could never betray the lord and turn to the enemy. Brothers, the time to repay the lord has come. Block the Xia Army, do not let them breach the gate..."

"Even if we die today, we must bite a piece off the Xia Army. The lord’s injuries will recover shortly. Brothers, charge with me..."

With two furious roars from Mo Haiwen and Yu Dongxin, all the bloodthirstiness of the Beishuo Garrison soldiers on top of the city wall was aroused.

"The lord’s grace is hard to repay even in death, what’s there to fear from the mere Xia Army?"

"Brothers, the city gate hasn’t been breached, we still have hope, block the Xia Army, charge..."

"The lord will recover soon, don’t be afraid, fight..."

"Our Beishuo has endured for over a hundred years, how can we be overthrown by Great Xia? Brothers, advance with me, the Xia Army on the walls is less than five hundred, with unity, we can surely drive them back, charge!"

.........

The eastern city wall of Beishuo City, though only fifteen meters wide, is long enough. Mo Haiwen and Yu Dongxin apparently had enough confidence in the city gates, so they stationed around five or six thousand people on the walls.

The thousands were not frightened by Xia Hong’s appearance, and instead, under the instigation of Mo Yu, abruptly erupted with fierce resolve, roaring as they charged towards the several hundred Xia Army soldiers on the eastern outer side.

With thousands of people, it was impossible for them all to swarm at once, but in the surge of emotions, the dark crowd almost instantly pushed the several hundred Xia Army soldiers into a corner, genuinely suppressing the Xia Army for a time.

"Fools!"

Seeing the actions of the Beishuo Garrison, Xia Hong’s temper slightly rose. Noticing that the Xia Army on the Cloud Ladder couldn’t ascend due to no room on the walls, he finally stopped holding back, drawing the Dragon Sparrow Saber from his waist, he suddenly descended from mid-air, directly landing at the position of Mo Haiwen and Yu Dongxin.

Buzz......

Before Xia Hong even landed on the wall, the surrounding temperature abruptly rose, resulting from the full exertion of skeleton energy causing an anomaly.

"Watch out!"

Seeing the blade descending overhead, Mo Haiwen had no intention of resisting and directly shouted to Yu Dongxin, then both retreated swiftly to either side.

Nonetheless, they were not only inferior in strength to Xia Hong but also slower in speed.

Clang......

The length of the Dragon Sparrow Saber was already exaggerated, and as Xia Hong body descended, holding the saber horizontally with his right hand, it was a sideways downward slash. The airflow was driven by the great force applied to the blade, condensing into a silver blade edge a hundred meters long, suddenly slashing down.

When the blade edge was about to strike Mo Yu, they realized they couldn’t evade it, so they both raised their weapons to block.

It’s a pity, whether it was weaponry or strength, they were far too inferior compared to Xia Hong.

Crack......

The weapons in their hands broke with a sound, and although they narrowly avoided the blade itself, they couldn’t dodge the massive blade edge.

Boom......

The blade edge spread from the center outwards, the two had no ability to retaliate and were directly blasted out dozens of meters, their armors breaking, knocking down at least dozens of garrison soldiers as they went left and right.

Not only knocked down, but the force of Xia Hong’s slash was so strong that the impact of the blade edge lifting them was terrifying, and in the front row on both the left and right sides, at least a dozen soldiers were turned to blood mist, dying on the spot.

Two Xianyang Levels were like this, let alone the soldiers lifted by the blade edge at the back.

Xia Hong’s blade edge was a hundred meters long, already surpassing the city wall, and the soldiers cleared out on both flanks of the blade edge numbered at least two or three hundred, while the subsequent spreading shock wave toppled hundreds more.

With that one slash, the city wall originally packed by the Beishuo Garrison suddenly had a dozen-meter-wide empty vacuum zone appear.
