The Daqin army unleashes a devastating combined strike using the Army Soul Battle Array, annihilating thousands of foreign tribes. Led by Meng Wu and Li Mu, the Qin cavalry charges with brutal efficiency, their heavy armor and superior martial prowess proving insurmountable. Meanwhile, the foreign tribe leaders, Tuoba Hu and Modu, remain confident in their overwhelming forces, eager for revenge against Zhao Feng. However, their confidence shatters as a scout reports the collapse of their army and the Qin's mastery of what they perceive as "Demon Art."

"Great King."

"The Qin Army general launched a sword attack hundreds of feet long, annihilating tens of thousands of our vanguard troops in an instant."

"Furthermore, the Qin Army's armor is peculiar; it's impervious to both blades and spears. No matter the assault from our soldiers, their battle armor remains unbroken."

"Every Qin soldier possesses extraordinary strength, far surpassing our own. They fight with lethal precision, each sword strike causing the demise of hundreds or even thousands within our ranks."

"Great King, the Qin Army is employing demonic techniques,"

stated the Donghu general, his voice quaking.

Had he not witnessed it firsthand,

he might never have believed such a report, even unto death.

"Utter foolishness."

"With such a formidable enemy before us, why engage in such nonsensical talk?"

"What 'demonic techniques' are you referring to?"

"You are severely damaging the morale of our army."

Hearing this, Modu immediately reprimanded him.

This rebuke altered the Donghu general's expression, and he hastily implored, "Great Kings, I urge you to proceed to the front lines and witness the situation for yourselves."

"The Qin Army is indeed utilizing demonic arts."

"Every Qin soldier appears possessed, exhibiting unnatural strength and the ability to strike from great distances. Our... our soldiers from both tribes are utterly outmatched by the Qin Army," the Donghu general confessed, fear evident in his tone.

Observing his distressed state,

Tuoba Hu and Modu's countenances also grew grave.

Stationed at the rear, with hundreds of thousands of troops advancing ahead, their distant vantage point prevented them from grasping the true conditions on the battlefield.

"Relay the royal decree."

"Royal Guard, advance."

"Maintain vigilance over the entire army; any who dare to retreat shall be executed."

"I shall personally observe the engagement." Tuoba Hu issued his command without delay.

He then rose from his royal seat and mounted his steed.

Modu followed suit, promptly mounting his horse as well: "Xiongnu Royal Guard, heed the command, supervise the battle, and execute any who attempt to retreat!"

At this juncture, the two tribes stood unified, confronting the formidable enemy, Qin, as one entity.

As the Chanyus of both tribes took action,

they proceeded to oversee the battle unfolding on the field.

However, upon witnessing the scene at the forefront, their expressions shifted dramatically.

The elite cavalry of their tribes had been fractured into more than a dozen separate units, relentlessly pursued by the black-armored Qin Army. Their tribes' offensive capabilities were completely shattered; the situation had dissolved into utter pandemonium.

"How can this be?"

"How can our soldiers be so defenseless?"

Tuoba Hu and Modu's faces became exceedingly grim.

While the former general's report had been met with disbelief, the sight of their finest troops in full retreat, being passively slaughtered, caused their nerves to strain and their hearts to churn with turmoil.

"Daqin Elite Soldiers."

"Commence the battle formation."

Amidst the disarray of the opposing army,

Li Mu terminated the lives of dozens of foreign tribesmen with a solitary strike.

As he bellowed aloud,

his voice resonated, reaching the ears of every Elite Soldier of the Northern Garrison through the Army Soul Battle Array.

"Battle formation, assemble."

All Elite Soldiers of the Northern Garrison charged forward, simultaneously activating the Battle Formation Heart Technique. The blood Qi of all the garrison's Elite Soldiers converged once more upon Li Mu.

As the blood Qi re-gathered,

its potency was even greater than during the initial convergence.

Clearly, due to the intensity of the fierce battle, the Qi and blood power of the Elite Soldiers had become even more agitated.

"Strike!"

Li Mu proclaimed with a forceful shout.

Gripping a Mo Knife with both hands, he unleashed a powerful slash towards the foreign tribesmen before him.

A blade light, crimson and nearly five hundred feet in length, instantly materialized, resembling a monumental blade stretching towards the heavens, descending from the firmament.

At that precise moment,

the very sky seemed to be painted with a bloody luminescence.

"Ah... ah..."

Countless shrieks echoed from within the ranks of the foreign tribes.

In a mere instant,

tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were annihilated, leaving absolutely no trace behind.

A formidable surge of power erupted, forging a vacuum zone hundreds of feet wide, a circle of absolute devastation.

"Demonic art… it truly is demonic art."

"How is this possible?"

Tuoba Hu and Modu stared at the spectacle unfolding before them in absolute dread.

Despite their considerable distance,

how could they possibly fail to perceive the colossal blade light being wielded?

In mere moments,

thousands of soldiers and their mounts were erased from existence, leaving no remnants.

Faced with such overwhelming devastation,

an untold number of foreign tribesmen succumbed to overwhelming fear and despair, accelerating their inevitable collapse.

Yet, the Daqin Elite Soldiers displayed no compassion, harboring no intention of showing leniency towards these foreign tribes.

Previously,

the tallying of battle achievements required manual verification after combat, a time-consuming process often involving the collection of severed ears.

But under the current circumstances, things had changed drastically.

Each Elite Soldier was now equipped with a Tianxuan Sub-Mirror.

Bolstered by the National Fortune of Qin, the Xuan Mirror has now ascended to the ranks of a half-step Innate Spiritual Treasure, unlocking a myriad of enhanced functionalities.

Among its newly acquired abilities is the capacity for the Tianxuan Mirror to meticulously record the number of adversaries each Elite Soldier vanquishes.

Every foe put to the sword is precisely tallied as military merit.

Should Qin successfully establish its dynasty, the Xuan Mirror is poised to seamlessly transition into a genuine Innate Spiritual Treasure, unleashing boundless and wondrous applications.

Indeed,

there is no longer any need for Qin's Elite Soldiers to fret over the accounting of their combat accolades. The Tianxuan Sub-Mirror will diligently keep this record, while the Military Judge's Xuan Mirror will compile the aggregate results, ensuring the accurate distribution of rewards.

One could confidently state,

the acquisition of the Tianxuan Mirror confers far greater advantages than if Zhao Feng had secured an Innate Treasure.

Furthermore,

having now been transmuted into a Qi Fortune Treasure, its potential for future development is virtually limitless.

"Slaughter them!"

"Annihilate these savage tribes!"

"The Crown Prince himself bears witness to our valor!"

"Annihilate these savage tribes!"

"These wretched foreign tribes presume to encroach upon the sacred territory of Qin once more? Send them to the abyss!"

"Leave not a single soul alive; exterminate them all..."

An uncountable host of Elite Soldiers bellowed with ferocity, their battle cries echoing with an overwhelming wave of murderous intent.

Under the onslaught of such potent power,

the invading army of the foreign tribes was subjected to a brutal and relentless massacre.

Tuoba Hu and Modu exchanged apprehensive glances, a discernible flicker of fear beginning to dawn in their eyes.

"We must withdraw,"

"A strategic retreat is imperative."

"The men of Qin are no mere mortals; they are veritable demons!"

"Truly, they are demons..."

Tuoba Hu's voice betrayed a slight, undeniable tremor.

The combined might of the Qin Army's Soul Battle Array and its formidable Martial Dao Power, when unleashed upon ordinary mortals, appeared as awe-inspiring and insurmountable as the divine might of Immortals and Gods.
