"Open the city, charge!"

A rumbling sound came from ahead as the wide, dam-like gate slowly opened.

The smell of dust rushed out, accompanied by a series of clanging sounds. The Mage corps, with their sharp killing intent, charged out like a giant sword.

Everyone's mission was simple: clear the stragglers.

Clean up the Terracotta Army, including the four centurions, so that He Ming, who was challenging the commander, would have no worries.

"Fluorescence·Radiance·Shine!"

Dazzling light, starting from Xu Fang, burned the front-row Terracotta Army like unrestrained wildfire.

"Cloud Slaying Sword!"

Xu Fang didn't stop moving, his large Demon Slaying Tool greatsword held horizontally in front of him. It didn't need any Demonic Energy. The Terracotta Army, scorched and brittle from the Bright Blazing Fire, shattered into residue the moment it touched the sword's edge.

"Holy shit, that's fierce!"

Old Man Qi stared dumbfounded at his temporary personal guard.

At first, he had been happily killing with his magic. But in just a few seconds, a large blank area had appeared before his eyes.

Where were the enemies?

Where had all his Terracotta Army gone?

Xu Fang was a very unqualified personal guard, completely lacking the awareness to protect his commander. He seemed to have gone mad and charged deeper, eventually getting "trapped" inside the encirclement.

"High Temperature Core!"

Charging up!

The temperature in the surrounding air was forcefully drawn out. Flames erupted around Xu Fang, and the closest Officer Figurine was instantly turned into mud.

"Clang!"

A Terracotta Army wearing armor, with pointed shoes and a circular hairstyle, broke through the ranks and thrust its spear at Xu Fang.

Xu Fang didn't dodge. The golden star and crimson Star Ring in his mind lit up simultaneously, and the Star Track flashed past.

"Crimson Fire Array!"

The spear pierced into the crimson-gold light and began to melt and crackle. This golden light, like a poisonous snake climbing a pole, spread to the body of the armored warrior figurine.

Boom!

The armored warrior figurine fell heavily to the ground. A yellowish spirit emerged and was greedily swallowed by a golden Star Seed.

"Servant level." Feeling the active Star Seed, Xu Fang estimated that one more would be enough to break through Intermediate level three.

More and more Terracotta Army noticed him and charged forward one after another.

Xu Fang stood firm, unfazed. These fearless Terracotta Army were like cans of fortifying milk powder in his eyes!

Meanwhile.

On the crowded battlefield, a circular empty space eerily appeared. The surroundings of the empty space bore clear signs of magical bombardment, with Mages and Terracotta Army clashing.

Two figures stood there: He Ming and the commander-level Terracotta Army.

The commander's joints were covered in thick dust, but its speed was astonishing. Amidst the falling dust, it moved like a sharp meat grinder, completely surrounding He Ming.

"Holy Shield·Protection!"

Just as the meat grinder was about to close, He Ming's low voice rang out.

Clang!

As if hitting metal, a piercing metallic sound rang out.

The semi-circular Holy Shield visibly flickered, its light no longer as bright as before. The commander acted as if it hadn't seen its attack thwarted and followed up with an even more powerful strike!

A flash of blue light flickered in He Ming's eyes. Before the Holy Shield shattered, he arranged his Wind Element Star Chart.

A ferocious tornado roared and swept across the battlefield. He Ming, hidden within the wind, squinted and stared intently at the commander's position.

If this was all the strength the great battle had to offer, then it wouldn't be enough to trouble human Mages so much...

"Boom~~Boom~~~~Boom~~~~~~~~~~~"

Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and thick metal chains erupted from the earth, writhing like dragons. Each collision produced a metallic clang.

The metal chains had no specific target, but their attack range was immense.

In an instant, He Ming was tightly bound by the chains, like a mummy.

Demonic Energy surged wildly on the metal chains, and clumps of earth condensed, attempting to bury He Ming alive in mid-air!

The other end of the metal chains also gradually emerged from the ground, held loosely in the commander's hand.

Whoosh!

A golden light flashed, and He Ming escaped the cage, his Demon Slaying Tool shattering into a sky full of light.

One person and one figurine, one high and one low, the clamor of the battlefield fell silent at this moment, like the oppressive calm before a storm.

The next second.

Attack!!!

"Fluorescence · Radiance · Purify!"

A terracotta warrior was completely drained, its essence turning into pure Demonic Energy that flowed into Xu Fang's stardust. The golden Star Seeds buzzed joyfully, emitting a more concentrated light than usual.

Intermediate level three, achieved!

"My little guys, your dad isn't one for bragging. I said I'd break through within three days, and I didn't even use one. Aren't you impressed?"

The Star Seeds tumbled happily.

"Let's keep working hard, my brothers, and strive to reach Intermediate level soon, okay?"

The Star Seeds tumbled so fast they left afterimages.

"Very good, very spirited!"

Xu Fang nodded in satisfaction. Ever since these Star Seeds entered Intermediate level two, they had been like hungry teenagers draining their old father, keeping him worried sick.

Finally, the harvest season had arrived.

Xu Fang glanced at the terracotta warriors advancing around him, feeling a bit eager to try out the power of his Intermediate level three combo skills on these lucky ones.

But after some thought, he abandoned the tempting idea.

The memory of using the Crimson Fire Light Array to eliminate the Giant-Eyed Stinky Rats last time, which directly consumed half his mana and nearly got him ambushed by a One-Eyed Demonic Wolf, was still vivid.

Having made up his mind, Xu Fang decided to head back and find a safe place to test his skills.

However, when he looked up, he was stunned to realize a fact.

"Holy crap... where is this?"

The terracotta warriors were an entire army of the Earth Element, unleashing their magic all at once. The distance had been stretched by tens, even hundreds of times.

Even the terrain had been forcibly altered. The ground that was flat and open during the day was now full of potholes.

There wasn't a single Mage around. Xu Fang first used a Fire Seed to eliminate an Officer Figurine blocking his path, then quickly ascended a small hill.

In the distance, he saw dark city walls.

"It's actually this far!"

Xu Fang estimated the distance, fearing it was more than five kilometers.

"Wait a minute, what's going on over there?"

Xu Fang's gaze was drawn to a particular spot.

Several Centurion Terracotta Warriors, riding tall skeletal horses and wielding five-meter-long spears, had surrounded a figure.

Turbulent air currents swirled around them, and the figure was protected by a Holy Shield. But with every attack from the Centurion Terracotta Warriors, the Holy Shield trembled. Xu Fang knew the person was about to collapse.

"The strength of a Centurion Terracotta Warrior is Minor General level."

"Let alone Minor General, even a Great General, I'm going to help out today!"

"You guys are the best guinea pigs for my new skill!"

"High Temperature Core!"

Charging up again, Xu Fang, having successfully broken through to Intermediate level three, seemed to have a funnel-shaped vortex appear around him as he charged, frantically drawing Demonic Energy from the air.

The lowest-level terracotta warriors couldn't even get close!

It wasn't because they were afraid; any creature attacked would feel fear, but the undead wouldn't.

They couldn't get close for only one reason: the terrifying temperature of the High Temperature Core could burn them to ashes before they could attack Xu Fang!

"Bright Silver Armor!"

"Cloud Slaying Sword!"

"Solar Flame----Light Slash!!!"
