Son of Light Sorties (Continued)

Therefore, the defenders of Qianjin City never intended to hit the target with the giant crossbows from the beginning. Instead, they wanted to use the shockwave and flying fragments generated by the explosion to cover and kill the target.

"Your greetings are so warm! I should reciprocate!"

Si Ming emerged unharmed from the dust, without a single wound, and continued charging forward along his predetermined path. This scene, witnessed by the soldiers behind him, immediately sparked cheers and greatly boosted their morale.

Si Ming's greatest strength was never speed, but defense. So it wasn't that he couldn't dodge, but that he never even thought about dodging. The shockwave from the explosion was like a wave crashing on the sea to him. The flying metal pieces hit him, making a clattering sound, but were all bounced off, not even a mosquito bite.

"Heavy Hammer Sparks!"

Without giving the enemy a chance to fire a second volley of crossbow bolts, Si Ming rushed to the city gate and smashed his hammer with all his might, instantly unleashing a deafening roar that echoed across the battlefield.

The city gate, made of cast steel and 15 centimeters thick, showed obvious signs of inward indentation after being hit by the hammer. At the same time, the shockwave spread out, killing the guards behind the gate, breaking all the tree stumps supporting the gate, and even cracking the city wall next to the gate, with sand and gravel falling down in a flurry.

Conversely, Si Ming was also thrown more than twenty meters away by the recoil, landing heavily on the ground with his buttocks. His internal Qi and Blood was churning, but he was not injured.

"Release the arrows!"

At a command, hundreds of guards on the city wall drew their bows and fired a volley of arrows at Si Ming —the distance was too close for ballistae to fire from, so they had to use bows and arrows.

But this kind of attack was like a tickle to Si Ming. The arrows hit his body but couldn't even pierce his skin. Even the True Qi arrows shot by experts were eventually shaken to pieces.

Si Ming got up from the ground, took a deep breath, and then launched a second sprint.

"Throw the oil tankers, set them on fire!"

The commander was clearly experienced in defending cities. Seeing that the arrow rain was ineffective, he ordered his men to throw oil canisters at the city gate, followed by a torch. In an instant, the city gate was transformed into a raging inferno.

"Haha, I was right after all."

With his hair protected by a heat-resistant adhesive that had been applied beforehand, preventing it from being burned by the fire, Si Ming felt he had no weaknesses left. He couldn't help but laugh out loud and fearlessly charged toward the city gate, swinging his sledgehammer once more!

Because the sprint distance was insufficient, the power of this blow was less than the previous one, but it further amplified the dent, causing the entire city gate to twist and crack, with gaps appearing in the city wall at the edges, making it appear to be on the verge of collapse.

"Boyan, only you can stop this boy now. If you don't act soon, this city gate will truly fall!"

A general with distinctly Huaxia features spoke anxiously to the Barbarian Hu general beside him.

This Barbarian Hu general was tall and strong, with a five-foot-long bow hanging on his shoulder. He had a purple face, a long beard, eyebrows that reached his temples, and eyes like two cold crescent moons. His gaze was awe-inspiring.

"It's a pity that there are such powerful and brave people among the Huaxia."

He took the longbow from his back, drew it, and stood still, letting the wind blow his clothes. His body remained as still as a deep pool and a mountain, and his powerful True Essence gathered at the tip of the arrow, forming a vortex of airflow. Behind him, the phantom of a black vulture appeared.

Just as the Barbarian Hu general was about to release his bowstring, an incomparably sharp spear intent locked onto him, as if a divine spear were pressed against his throat, ready to thrust forward and kill him the moment he released his arrow.

"This spear intent is from Mu Wu of Dragon City!"

Cold sweat beaded on Boyan's forehead. He knew that if he fired that arrow, the moment his momentum weakened, his opponent would unleash a powerful attack from afar.

He would be caught off guard and forced to respond hastily, suffering serious injury even if he didn't die.

Once he understood this, Boyan could no longer shoot the arrow in his hand, no matter what he did.

Only Spirit Transformation cultivator can threaten Spirit Transformation cultivator.

If it were just a matter of breaking through the city gates, Mu Wu, as Spirit Transformation cultivator, would be more efficient than Si Ming. However, he knew that there was also a Barbarian Hu Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Barbarian tribe in Qianjin City, namely the Vulture King Boyan, who had to be personally restrained by him. Therefore, he could only entrust the task of breaking through the city to someone else.

If Mu Wu were to break through the city, Boyan would inevitably seize the opportunity to counterattack, and he would fall into a disadvantageous position in the clash of energies; conversely, if Boyan were to stop Si Ming from breaking through the city, Mu Wu would also be able to exploit his weakness.

The two sides are locked in a tug-of-war, their energies locked; whoever strikes first will lose.

"Boyan, hurry! That man is charging again! If you don't shoot now, it will be too late!"

Those who are not Spirit Transformation cultivators Faming this kind of subtle confrontation. Even without meeting in person, they can clearly sense each other from four or five miles apart.

"Boyan, what's wrong? What happened? Why aren't you shooting arrows?"

Shut up! Say another word and I'll chop off your head!

Boyan shouted impatiently, silencing the Huaxia general.

As the two were talking, Si Ming raised his sledgehammer and launched his third charge. Someone on the city wall threw down explosives, but they had no effect on him. The power of ordinary gunpowder explosions was far less ferocious than the fist of Divine Rank Demon General.

"I am the son of the sun, and my power is immense!"

Ignoring the shockwave from the explosion, Si Ming continued singing and slammed his hammer down on the city gate again.

This time, the city gate could no longer hold out. Not only was a breach made, but it was also blasted away, detached from the city wall, and smashed into a bloody pulp the people who were crowded behind the wall.

"All troops, charge!"

The Mu Family Army, which had been poised for battle for a long time, had already begun to advance rapidly toward the city gate when Si Ming launched his charge. Now, seeing this scene, they immediately increased their speed to the maximum, rushing toward the open gate at a speed even faster than that of a galloping cavalryman. Their impatient momentum was like that of an old widower who had been widowed for ten years seeing a beautiful woman with her legs spread wide and naked, so excited that he was about to ejaculate.

"Damn it, everyone charge out! Forget about defending the city, engage them in open battle!"

The Barbarian Hu were known for their ferocity, and knowing they were not good at defending a city, they immediately gathered a thousand cavalrymen and charged toward the unobstructed city gate.

However, Si Ming had forcefully smashed through the gate with his superhuman strength, was still standing at the city gate. He grinned as he looked at the Barbarian Hu cavalry charging towards him, showing no intention of backing down.

"One man can hold the pass against ten thousand; I never thought I'd have the chance to put that saying into practice. Come on, face me head-on, don't stop!"

Si Ming laughed loudly, brandishing his city-breaking hammer, and unleashed a move called "Ground-Sweeping Wild Flowers." In an instant, the hammer's shadow surged like waves, its powerful force like a tidal wave.

The Barbarian Hu cavalry at the forefront, before even touching Si Ming, seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall, smashing into a bloody pulp. Their horses were also sent flying, crashing into the cavalry behind them, resulting in a chaotic scene of men and horses falling over.

The Barbarian Hu cavalry couldn't break through the city gates at all. No matter how many came, they were all smashed and killed. If they were hit hard, their corpses would explode in mid-air, and piles of blood and flesh stained the city gate, making it look like a ruptured hemorrhoid.

"We can't wait any longer!"
