Zhang Xingfeng's voice echoed through the Yellow Earth Mountain like a valley echoing incessantly. Upon hearing it, the Liao Kingdom army was startled and immediately stopped, raising their weapons in preparation for an attack!

But to their astonishment, there wasn't a single enemy around them!

"Ah!" A scream rang out, and almost all the soldiers looked ahead. One of their comrades had his head blown off. It was clear that the opponent had used a heavy weapon like a bronze hammer, but none of the 800,000 soldiers had figured out who had attacked him.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

One scream after another rang out. The Liao Kingdom soldiers kept looking around as their comrades died inexplicably. They never found a single enemy. As their comrades died one by one, the entire Liao Kingdom army fell into an eerie atmosphere.

"What's going on?" "Oh God, help me!"... The cries only heightened everyone's anxiety.

Many soldiers even shouted, "A ghost!"

Some of the soldiers who hadn't shouted opened their eyes wide and looked around, trying to figure out who was attacking them, but they couldn't see anything. Their fear grew even stronger!

In ancient times, when belief in ghosts and gods was prevalent, almost everyone believed in them. Could this scene be something a human could have orchestrated? The Liao Kingdom warriors, upon recalling how the 700,000- Yuan Mongolia army had been blasted away by lightning, immediately had an idea pop into their minds.

"Could it be that ghosts and gods are protecting the Ming Dynasty?!"

The moment this thought arose, the belief grew stronger. Yes, only if the gods protected the Ming Dynasty could there be lightning striking down the Yuan Mongolia soldiers, and only then could there be this unseen attack! In an instant, all the Liao Kingdom warriors began to feel fear, and their fear intensified. Could humans possibly fight against ghosts and gods?

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"...

The screams were incessant, and almost every Ming Dynasty soldier understood from the Liao Kingdom soldiers' reactions that these Liao Kingdom soldiers could not see them!

Tian Lang was a lucky Ming Dynasty soldier. He saw Liao Kingdom soldiers being killed one by one without reacting, and he saw himself in front of them without reacting either. He knew that these people could not see him.

"Hehe, if you can't see me, then don't blame me, hehe!" Tian Lang immediately ran to the side, spotted a Liao Kingdom officer, and slashed at the back of the Liao Kingdom officer's head!

Red and white flowers flew everywhere, and the surrounding Liao Kingdom immediately let out a terrified scream.

After succeeding, Tian Lang immediately fled, because he found that the Liao Kingdom seemed to be a bit hysterical. Whenever they saw someone around them being killed, they would kill wildly and hack and slash. Because of this, many of the proud Ming Dynasty soldiers were seriously injured. But even though they were seriously injured, these Ming Dynasty soldiers were still invisible!

Tian Lang was very clever; he always made sure to kill someone with his first move, and then he would leave, regardless of whether the other person was actually dead or not.

"Hehe, you can't see me, you can't see me!" Tian Lang shouted excitedly in his heart. He secretly ran to the side of an officer and suddenly plunged a knife into the officer's heart. He rolled away instantly. He was really quick to react. Just now, a soldier saw blood on his officer's chest and immediately stabbed forward.

"The moment you see blood on your comrades, start hacking away at the front! As long as you have the strength, hack away! Hack like crazy, keep hacking!" Yelü Hongjin's furious and manic voice suddenly rang out in the army.

Yelü Hongjin's face was very gloomy. The series of events just now had driven him almost crazy. How terrifying it was to encounter an invisible enemy! His general told him that a soldier had casually slashed at the air with his sword and found bloodstains on the blade, and had also heard a scream!

Yelü Hongjin then realized that these enemies were transparent, but could still be attacked! That's why he issued that order.

Tian Lang stood idly to the side, watching many Liao Kingdom soldiers wildly hacking at the air. They kept hacking away, and many Liao Kingdom soldiers' faces began to turn pale. It was clear that they could not hold on any longer, but these Liao Kingdom soldiers were afraid of being attacked, so they persisted.

Zhang Xingfeng watched as countless Liao Kingdom soldiers slashed wildly at thin air, while the Ming Dynasty soldiers watched on like spectators, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"You lot, it took me ninety percent of my power to make you all invisible, and I've only recovered half of it now. But the invisibility effect only lasts for two hours. Just you wait and see, and then you'll still be arrogant after your two hours are over!"

Zhang Xingfeng could clearly not stand it anymore. These Ming Dynasty soldiers had become as agile as monkeys, striking and fleeing at the same time, each one incredibly slippery. Meanwhile, the Liao Kingdom soldiers were pitifully exerting the last of their strength, hacking and slashing wildly. It seemed to be quite effective. After a short while, only a few dozen of his Liao Kingdom soldiers had died!

In just a short while, over two hundred thousand had died! The Liao Kingdom army lined up in rows of six or seven men, so long that even the four hundred thousand Ming Dynasty soldiers were scattered, each only needing to slash one at the outermost layer. One attack killed over ten thousand of the enemy. Later, the Liao Kingdom seemed to realize the disadvantage of being scattered and immediately began to regroup. This is the real reason why, after half an hour, the Ming Dynasty soldiers had only killed less than one hundred thousand.

Many Liao Kingdom soldiers had no strength left in their hands and could no longer hack away. Their comrades immediately stepped in front of them and hacked away again. In this way, all the Liao Kingdom soldiers helped each other. You hacked while I rested, and you rested while I hacked!

But everyone has their limits. After an hour, almost no soldier could still wield his sword. Yelü Hongjin watched all this in agony. He knew that if things continued like this, the remaining 500,000 soldiers would be finished!

"All soldiers, run east!" Yelü Hongjin roared, the signal already sent to the cities of the Liao Kingdom in the east.

Inside the city walls of the Liao Kingdom!

"General, it seems that Yelü Hongjin has sent a distress signal!" a man with a monkey-like head said to a burly middle-aged man. The monkey-headed man was clearly a strategist; his shifty eyes revealed that he had plenty of wicked ideas.

The burly middle-aged man said, "Let him ask for help, what does it have to do with us? He has an army of over a million and he's asking for help, we only have a few hundred thousand, what use is that? Besides, I don't seem to have seen any signal. Did you see it?" The burly middle-aged man's eyes flashed as he stared at the monkey-headed man.

Upon seeing the burly man's gaze, the monkey-headed man trembled and immediately said in a servile tone, "Yes, yes, there's no signal. We didn't see anything, we didn't see anything." He then gave the burly man a fawning look.

The burly man nodded in satisfaction. His eyes gleamed coldly as he looked westward towards the Yellow Earth Mountain.

Upon hearing the order, the Liao Kingdom soldiers ran eastward frantically. To their surprise, they found that their legs still had strength, and they ran even more joyfully.

The Ming Dynasty soldiers went berserk; this was outrageous!

"Kill!"

They slashed at the Liao Kingdom soldiers, who were already exhausted, like harvesting wheat, and their screams immediately grew louder, seemingly even louder than Zhang Xingfeng's scream at the beginning.

The Liao Kingdom soldiers were running faster and faster, completely overturning the common understanding: this was the speed that an ordinary soldier could achieve. If the 150,000 experts from Taihang Mountain —no, now there are 90,000—were here, they would definitely exclaim in amazement, "Ah, these soldiers have been practicing Internal Cultivation for several years, how come their speed is almost the same as ours!"

Perhaps it is the fear of death that makes them run so fast; perhaps death is also a kind of motivation!

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly spotted the luxurious carriage and his eyes lit up. "Ah, this must be the commander's carriage! It's even better than mine, huh!" A mocking look appeared on Zhang Xingfeng's face.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly a bright light shone towards the luxurious carriage. Jingwei, who was standing beside the carriage, immediately shouted, "Protect the commander!"

But it was too late. Before Jingwei's voice could be heard, the carriage had already exploded into pieces. Yelü Hongjin was controlling the battle from inside the carriage, jumped off the carriage in an instant with astonishing speed, but the fragments of the carriage struck him.

"Pfft!" Yelü Hongjin couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Yelü Hongjin was filled with fear. If the fragments of the blown-up carriage had such attack power, one could imagine how powerful the light must have been.

That bright light is Zhang Xingfeng's Purple Blade!

"Ah, that's the commander of the Liao Kingdom army! Kill him, and you'll get promoted and make a fortune!" With a roar that seemed to come from nowhere, Yelü Hongjin was horrified to find his soldiers being killed one by one in a bizarre manner, falling to the ground.

It was obvious that the slain warriors had formed trails of blood, and Yelü Hongjin was the end of those trails.

Suddenly Yelü Hongjin was stunned, because he saw countless Ming Dynasty warriors appear before them.

Zhang Xingfeng's ethereal voice came through. "Alright, stop playing around, the Liao Kingdom army can already see you!"

All the Ming Dynasty soldiers were stunned for a moment, but then muttered, "Hmm... it's too late to play anymore, hmm... hehe... anyway, these guys don't have the strength to lift their swords anymore, hahahaha..." The Ming Dynasty soldiers began to reap the lives of the Liao Kingdom soldiers who had no power to resist!

The Liao Kingdom warriors watched in terror as the endless Ming Dynasty warriors attacked. The blood-stained blades told them that these were the Liao Kingdom Ming Dynasty warriors who had suddenly appeared and killed their comrades.

But what could they do now? Their arms were completely powerless, and they could only run on their legs. They hoped that their compatriots behind them could hold off the Ming Army for a while so that they could run a little further.

Perhaps some people could escape, but Yelü Hongjin was definitely not one of them, because he was already the best stepping stone to promotion and wealth in the eyes of all Ming Army soldiers. Killing the commander of a million-strong army was such a great military achievement!

Yelü Hongjin was severely wounded, his internal True Qi completely depleted. Facing the countless Ming Dynasty soldiers around him, he was utterly powerless to resist, and could only mutter in anguish, "I, Yelü Hongjin, wield immense power, second only to the emperor in the Liao Kingdom, and am also an elder of the Yelü Aristocratic Clan... Heaven, why have you treated me like this!"

Seeing the fierce Ming Army soldiers charging towards him, Yelü Hongjin frantically raised his sword and attacked in all directions. But he no longer had the strength; by the time he realized it, he could only howl in anger and helplessness.

With a scream, countless blades instantly sliced him into pieces. Dozens of soldiers stared blankly at him, wondering who would claim the military merit!

But these warriors immediately resumed their pursuit of the fleeing Liao Kingdom soldiers.

The screams continued to echo... Blood continued to splatter...

After a long while, everything fell silent. The entire Yellow Earth Mountain had become a mountain of blood and flesh, the loess itself soaked in blood, turning a terrifying dark red! The entire Yellow Earth Mountain was silent, with only countless corpses remaining, while the Ming Army had already begun their victorious return to the city!

In the first battle, of the 800,000 Liao Kingdom army, less than 30,000 escaped, and 770,000 died! The Ming Dynasty army, on the other hand, lost less than 2,000 men, and that was when they faced the Vanguard Camp; otherwise, the death toll would probably have been less than 1,000.

At this moment, in the main hall of Tieyang City, Zhang Xingfeng sat in the main seat, looking down at the various generals below.

Everyone looked at Zhang Xingfeng with awe, simply because of this battle, this unprecedented battle. Because of this battle, Zhang Xingfeng would be forever recorded in history! He would become a legend!

When an army of 1.2 million attacked, Zhang Xingfeng led his men to fight back. Less than 30,000 of the Liao Kingdom army survived. What was even more astonishing was that the victorious Ming Army suffered fewer than 2,000 casualties!

Moreover, the 600,000- Ming Dynasty army did not even make a move!

This is a miracle! A miracle destined to be unparalleled in history!

Everyone stared at Zhang Xingfeng, too intimidated to even speak to such a powerful figure, unsure of what to say. In their eyes, this white-haired young man now seemed as unapproachable as a war god!

Killing over a million enemies while suffering fewer than two thousand casualties – is this something a human could accomplish? This is clearly an achievement only a war god could achieve!

"General, when are we going back?" Hong Zhu's face was still flushed, caused by the surprise and joy after learning of Zhang Xingfeng's great victory. However, he had been with Zhang Xingfeng some time and still dared to speak to him.

At this moment, the war miracle behind Zhang Xingfeng, which could only be looked up to, seemed like a halo, making Zhang Xingfeng feel like a god!

Zhang Xingfeng nodded and said, "Arrange for people to take the Yuzhou and Bingzhou Prefecture armies back as soon as possible! Tomorrow, General Hong Zhu and the other generals will also return to the capital. I believe the Emperor will reward you all handsomely!"

All the generals in the hall smiled. Indeed, this was a tremendous achievement; rewards were inevitable! But soon, the generals of Yuzhou and Bingzhou Prefecture blushed, for they hadn't killed a single enemy! Six hundred thousand troops had rushed over, only to return empty-handed, wasting countless provisions! And now they were to receive rewards!

Although they felt embarrassed, no one said they wouldn't go! At the same time, they began to look forward to what rewards the emperor would bestow upon them.

Everyone is already looking forward to tomorrow arriving soon.
