The remaining two hundred or so private soldiers were crammed together, like a pack of wolves driven to the edge of a cliff. Their breathing was rapid and heavy, most of their sabers were already nicked, and some were even trembling.

But in front of them stood Ji Ye.

He didn't speak, just silently tied two jars of Fierce Fire Oil to his waist with hemp rope, then picked up his eighty-pound iron spear.

"Afraid?"

Ji Ye suddenly spoke, his voice echoing in the deep gate passage.

No one answered. Only a few sounds of swallowing could be heard.

"Good, you should be."

Ji Ye turned around, facing the heavy, iron-bound wooden gate.

"There are thousands of people outside, with catapults and Sharpshooters. If we charge out, it's a 99.9% chance of death."

He paused, a sinister grin curling the corner of his lips.

"But if we stay here, we'll be smashed into meat paste by stones, or starve to death, and then, like that woman, turn into a puddle of rotten flesh."

"Since we're going to die either way, we might as well die with a bang."

"Mazhi, open the gate."

Mazhi trembled all over. Looking at Ji Ye's eyes, which were burning with a mad flame, he finally gritted his teeth and waved to the strong men beside him.

"Open the gate!!"

The heavy gate bolt was lifted, emitting a teeth-grinding scraping sound.

"Creeeak--"

The city gate, sealed for several days, slowly opened a crack.

Light from outside streamed in, carrying the cold wind and the roar of catapults.

The Barbarian vanguard was clearly taken by surprise that the defenders dared to open the gate. They hesitated for a moment, then erupted in excited roars.

"They're trying to escape!"

"Charge in! Take the women!!"

Hundreds of Barbarian soldiers waved their curved sabers and rushed forward like flies drawn to the smell of blood.

"Escape?"

Ji Ye looked at the ferocious faces outside the gate crack, took a deep breath, and channeled Triple Brute Force into his legs.

"I'm here to send you off!"

"Kill!!"

A thunderous roar.

The city gate opened wide.

Ji Ye led the charge, like a tiger released from its cage, leading over two hundred doomed soldiers, charging back out of the city gate!

"Boom!"

As soon as he was out of the city, Ji Ye hurled a jar of Fierce Fire Oil from his waist fiercely at the crowd ahead.

The oil jar shattered in mid-air, followed closely by a torch.

Flames soared into the sky.

The first dozen or so Barbarian soldiers at the front were instantly engulfed in a sea of fire. Screaming, they turned into human torches and fled in all directions, disrupting the formation of those behind them.

"Stay close to me! Don't stop!!"

Ji Ye ignored the enemies on either side, his iron spear transforming into a black whirlwind.

Sweep the Thousand Armies!

Empowered by Triple Brute Force, this iron spear was the most terrifying blunt weapon. Any Barbarian soldier struck by it, whether their leather armor or bones, was completely pulverized.

The two hundred-plus soldiers were like a sharp blade, piercing deeply into the Barbarian formation.

Their target was clear—those dozen or so roaring catapults.

"They're insane! These southerners are insane!"

The Barbarian Centurions shouted in terror. They had never seen an army from Da Liang like this—not forming ranks, not defending, just throwing their lives away.

"Stop them!"

Hulei stood on his war chariot, watching the group charging and weaving through the enemy ranks, his face terrifyingly grim.

Especially the young man leading them, drenched in blood, with oil jars on his waist, leaving a trail of fire wherever he went, like a walking powder keg.

Hulei raised his iron-bow again.

But this time, Ji Ye was prepared.

He charged into the most densely packed area of the enemy, even deliberately grabbing a Barbarian soldier's corpse to shield himself.

"Clang!"

The giant arrow pierced the corpse, grazed Ji Ye's shoulder, tearing away a piece of flesh, but it didn't stop his advance.

One hundred paces.

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe they just changed the name!

Fifty paces.

The catapult was right in front of him.

"Smash!!"

Ji Ye roared, unstrapped the last jar of Fierce Fire Oil from his waist, and with all his might, hurled it at the largest catapult.

"Bang!"

The oil jar shattered, black oil drenching the wooden frame.

Ji Ye fiercely flicked his iron spear, tossing a burning Barbarian soldier into the air, accurately throwing him onto the catapult.

"BOOM--!!"

The dry wood met the Fierce Fire Oil, instantly turning into a massive torch.

The fire spread rapidly, igniting several adjacent catapults.

The catapult position, which had been wreaking havoc moments before, was now a sea of flames.

"Ahhhhhh!!"

The Barbarian soldiers operating the catapults were engulfed by the fire, their screams echoing endlessly.

Mission Complete.

But the cost was heavy.

Of the more than two hundred brothers who had charged out with Ji Ye, fewer than fifty could still stand.

They were surrounded by thousands of Barbarian soldiers, like a lone boat in a vast ocean, liable to be submerged at any moment.

"Hahahahaha!"

Ji Ye leaned on his iron spear, standing before the sea of flames, looking at the dense enemy surrounding them, and suddenly burst into laughter.

His laughter was sharp, arrogant, and carried a chilling sense of exhilaration.

"Hulei!!"

Ji Ye raised his iron spear, pointing it across the flames and the wall of bodies, directly at the giant man on the war chariot.

"Your stones are gone!"

"Now, it's time for your head!"

On the war chariot.

Hulei slowly lowered his bow.

He looked at the youth, covered in blood and resembling a vengeful spirit, and the anger in his eyes subsided, replaced by recognition of a strong opponent, and... a purer killing intent.

"Good."

Hulei leaped from the war chariot.

The ground trembled slightly.

He casually drew a giant Horse-Chopping Saber from a nearby guard; it was a weapon tailor-made for him, weighing a hundred pounds, its spine as thick as a brick.

"All of you, stand down."

Hulei commanded coldly.

The surrounding Barbarian soldiers retreated like a tide, clearing a space.

This was not just due to his order, but because they knew that in the battle to come, mortals should not approach.

This was a duel between an Organ Tempering realm expert and a madman.

Hulei dragged the Horse-Chopping Saber, walking towards Ji Ye step by step. With each step, his aura grew stronger. The Blood Essence within him surged like a rushing river, even forming a faint, distorting heatwave around his body.

"To die by my hand."

Hulei stopped ten paces from Ji Ye, his voice like a thunderous bell.

"Is your honor."

Ji Ye wiped the blood and grime from his face, tightening his grip on the spear shaft wrapped with cloth.

His stamina was exhausted, he had over a dozen wounds, and his left arm could barely be lifted.

But the fire in his eyes burned ever brighter.

"Honor?"

Ji Ye grinned, revealing a mouth full of bloody white teeth.

"I'm here to eat meat."

"Whether I can chew through your bones, I'll only know after tasting."

Before the words even fell silent.

The two moved at the same time.

Like two meteors, amidst fire and corpses, they violently collided.

"BOOM!!"

This was a clash of pure strength, with no fancy moves.

The decisive battle had begun.
