Pushing the Limits

The death of Xiao Mu!

The most terrified were his two deputies, Dong Wei and Yang Mingyi.

Fortunately, the Assassination's target was Xiao Mu; if it were them, they wouldn't have survived!

At that moment, a shadow of death loomed over their hearts.

"He must be a Grandmaster- level expert from the Great Li; otherwise, there's no way he could have infiltrated the military camp so silently!"

Dong Wei's tone was gloomy.

This Grandmaster- level expert must also be a Grandmaster of Assassination; otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have done it.

What should we do now?

Commander Lang gave us the task of capturing Chaowen City within half a month, but now our commanders are all dead.

And there's also a Grandmaster Assassination us!

Yang Mingyi's expression was equally unpleasant; neither of them were particularly skilled martial artists.

Being targeted by an Assassination Grandmaster means there is absolutely no chance of survival.

Even with bodyguards stationed around their sides day and night, they still don't feel safe.

"This is a good location."

Qin Yan found a location with a good view, about five miles away from the Taiping Army camp!

The Ink Sun Bow appeared in his hand.

"I haven't tried shooting an arrow with all my might yet, and today I'll use you as my starting point."

Qin Yan's Magnetic Field changed, and the iron arrow instantly struck the Taiping Army camp.

A loud roar was heard.

A pile of earth and rocks could be seen rising into the sky, mixed with many fragments of the Taiping Army.

The power of this attack was terrifying; the shockwave it created killed a large number of people.

Blood gushed from their mouths and noses; those nearby died instantly, while those further away lay on the ground groaning in agony.

That appearance sent chills down one's spine.

This terrifying explosion naturally attracted the attention of all the Taiping Army generals.

"What on earth happened?!"

Dong Wei and the others also made it over, but when they saw the deep pit in the camp, they couldn't help but gasp.

The scene before me was truly terrifying.

A deep pit, more than ten meters in length and over thirty meters in diameter, appeared before everyone's eyes.

"General, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky, killing many of our brothers."

Those who were still alive couldn't help but choke back tears.

What just happened was like divine punishment!

"Locked."

Qin Yan had already nocked another arrow, his mind locked onto Dong Wei!

A slight release from the fingertips!

While Dong Wei was still stunned by the sudden thunder, his body instantly turned into blood.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying explosion shot into the sky!

The resulting shockwave raged instantly, and the guards surrounding him were also killed by this terrifying force.

Pfft!

Yang Mingyi coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned bloodshot, and blood flowed from his ears and nose.

He was on his way here, about to greet Dong Wei, when he suddenly exploded.

Look at that pit, even more terrifying than before!

The fear of death gripped his heart!

"It must be Supreme Grandmaster, no... it should be a Daoist expert at the Spirit Travel Realm who has made a move!"

Yang Mingyi's heart was filled with fear, for he had witnessed the power of Supreme Grandmaster of the same realm.

These kinds of powerful individuals truly transcend ordinary people, reaching an unbelievable realm.

They can no longer be described as human.

This technique looks exactly like Thunder Method used by a cultivator in the Spirit Travel Realm!

Qin Yan, of course, couldn't hear Yang Mingyi's inner thoughts!

But this doesn't stop him from firing his faith shot now!

In such a large camp, random firing could kill a large number of people; the power of these arrows is in no way inferior to missiles from my previous life!

The camp was bombarded by a continuous barrage of lightning!

The entire Taiping Army was terrified; no one knew where the 'heavenly thunder' would strike next.

Yang Mingyi's face was deathly pale.

If it's Supreme Grandmaster, he can hold out for a while even if he uses human lives, but if it's a cultivator!

That terrifying magical attack could kill a whole group of people if it came down.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Yang Mingyi roared madly, "Attack Chaowen City? To hell with that!"

Saving your life is the most important thing right now.

The Taiping Army had long wanted to flee, and now, having received Yang Mingyi's orders, they were even less inclined to linger here for a moment.

Everyone rushed out of the camp in a panic!

"Yes, run!"

Qin Yan was very satisfied with the result and continued to fire arrows in rapid succession.

Begin driving them in the planned direction!

During this time, Qin Yan used his extraordinary senses to begin eliminating the highly skilled warriors within the Taiping Army!

These people are mostly mid- to high-ranking officers.

Without these people, the entire army was like a headless fly.

Only Yang Mingyi remained as the leader.

To prevent this guy from realizing what was happening, Qin Yan would occasionally control the arrows to land near him.

This guy was terrified.

This guy's completely terrified, can you believe it?

Several bolts of lightning struck him, nearly killing him.

Yang Mingyi didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky; all he knew was that a terrifyingly powerful expert at the Spirit Travel Realm was chasing them.

"Lord Chu, the enemy's commander has been shot dead by our general. All we need to do is send reinforcements!"

We are absolutely certain we can capture this Taiping Army.

Han Chen looked at the Prefect of Chaowen Prefecture and the Commandant with a gloomy expression!

"We only have about three thousand people now, most of whom are local militia temporarily recruited!"

Let us pursue the Taiping Army, which numbers over ten thousand.

Once the enemy realizes what's happening, our small force simply can't hold them off.

Now that the Taiping Army has been defeated, stability is the priority.

When the imperial army arrives, we will also have contributed to the defense of the city.

The Chu Prefect refused to send troops without hesitation, and barely managed to hold out.

Now, I don't seek merit, but only to avoid mistakes!

Stability is the top priority.

Upon hearing this, Han Chen's face turned extremely ugly. The Taiping Army had already collapsed and lost all its momentum.

Now they're not letting them fight, they're just chasing after them.

"Brother Han, General Qin's killing of the enemy's commander-in-chief is already a tremendous achievement."

Non-Self are unwilling, but there are over 100,000 people behind us, and the disaster that a wrong decision could cause is unimaginable.

Commandant shook his head and said!

Han Chen took a deep breath; he had already realized that these people dared not send troops.

All I want to do is defend the city!

Saying they're thinking of all the people in the city is just an excuse.

This also disappointed him.

The general had already forced the Taiping Army to retreat single-handedly.

This gives us an idea of the extent to which the Taiping Army's morale had collapsed.

Qin Yan, on the other end, also frowned slightly.

Why haven't the Chaowen Prefecture arrived yet?

Now all he can do is keep firing arrows around Yang Mingyi, constantly forcing the guy to run away!

"Since we can't wait for reinforcements, we can only do everything we can to lead them into the trap."

With this in mind, Qin Yan instantly increased the frequency of his archery!

The relentless attacks rained down on the Taiping Army at the rear, and terrifying explosions echoed in their ears.

It is attacking their psychological defenses.

Even with his most extreme maneuvers, he couldn't control over 10,000 people to move in one direction.

Despite taking many detours along the way, a small portion of the group still managed to escape.

"They're here!"

A thunderous sound could be heard coming from afar!

Zhang Xin and his men were instantly invigorated, and they continued to advance into the pine forest area alongside the Taiping Army.

"Ignition!"

As soon as the order was given, a raging fire broke out in the forest.

"It's terrible, General! There's a huge fire blocking our path!"

A soldier hurriedly reported.

"What?" Yang Mingyi was shocked. Looking at the firelight that had appeared around him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Retreat!"

"Oh no! A fire has broken out behind us too!"

Yang Mingyi's face turned pale instantly!

"It's over!"
