Although I made a mistake, don't you have any responsibility?

The Cloud Slaying Sword's white blade was covered in blazing crimson flames, shining brightly in the dark night.

The next second, the soaring crimson flames continuously retreated, withdrawing from the blade to the edge. Judging by its appearance alone, the light hadn't become brighter; instead, it seemed to have dimmed slightly.

But if one could sense the fluctuations in the air, they would realize that the Demonic Energy had transformed from its previous chaotic state into something incredibly condensed.

...This was never a dim departure, but rather the frantic ebb tide before a tsunami's arrival.

The Footwear Magic Tool tapped lightly several times, and Xu Fang approached from above.

A Centurion Terracotta Warrior spotted him. Its decaying, hollow eyes saw the sword in his hand, and it unhesitatingly turned its horse's head, thrusting its spear.

Earth and light-fire attributes, thrust and slash, bone horse and Footwear Magic Tool.

One clash.

In just one clash, Xu Fang brushed past the Centurion, and then... it was gone?

Xu Fang continued his attack forward, while the Centurion Terracotta Warrior turned its horse's head, issuing a charge command to the bone horse. The grand confrontation seemed to have ended pointlessly.

Hiss!

The bone horse raised its front hooves, about to look down from above as usual and crush the weak enemy into powder. But the next moment, its movement suddenly stopped.

Its eyes, burning with dim Ghost Fire, looked confused and instinctively turned to look behind it.

It saw half of its master.

Literally.

The Centurion Terracotta Warrior's mighty upper body lay on the ground, yet its lower body remained seated on the horse, like freshly slaughtered beef. The cow was dead, but its nerves were still active, clamping its abdomen to make forward motion.

The Centurion Terracotta Warrior on the ground straightened its arm, attempting to touch its lower body. But halfway through its reach, a dazzling light enveloped it.

Demonic Energy, Remnant Soul, all hollowed out.

Centurion, dead!

Xu Fang felt the brand-new Skill. Compared to his previous Skills with their myriad functions, this Solar Flame Light Slash was unexpectedly simple.

It only required a vessel. It could be a Demon Slaying Tool, an iron rod, or even a pebble found anywhere, like the iron skewer left from roasting meat.

One could then imbue the power of "Solar Flame" onto it. Vast energy condensed into extreme sharpness, breaking surfaces with lines, breaking surfaces with points.

If one had to describe it, it would be like Seven's Ice Axe, Jack's Bracelets, or Ace's Death Scythe?

A General-level Centurion Terracotta Warrior couldn't even withstand one strike.

The only drawback was that Solar Flame Light Slash, unlike other Skills, couldn't be seized or plundered. All its characteristics were focused on offense.

But that wasn't a problem either.

He could follow up with a Crimson Light Fire Array or Radiance·Purification!

After all, the legacy of a General was incredibly rich. Killing it and then collecting the final remaining value was a surefire profitable deal no matter how you looked at it...

Thinking this, Xu Fang couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, the black blood of exploited Demons and undead flowed through every vein in his body.

He set his sights on the second Centurion.

Slash!

Slurp!

Not only was his Demonic Energy not depleted, but it had become even more abundant.

As expected, compared to servants who couldn't even produce a fart, Generals were much more likable!

So cute!

"Hahaha, bring it on!"

Xu Fang laughed somewhat hysterically, his greatsword moving at an unbelievable speed. He embraced the third Centurion, man and warrior forever inseparable.

Clang!

His body suddenly flew into the air. A tremendous force struck him. The last Centurion, lacking honor, launched a sneak attack, attempting to pierce Xu Fang's heart with its spear from behind.

"That hurt..."

Xu Fang slowly stood up from the ground, touching his back. A piece of the Bright Silver Armor that had blocked the attack was shattered.

"Hey little guy, do you know how much this Armor Magic Tool costs?"

"I won't ask for too much. You'll pay with your body, that's only fair, right?"

"Be good, and it'll be over soon!"

...Although the main reason was my own overconfidence and recklessness, don't you bear any responsibility for the sneak attack?

Die!

One wave finished them.

Centurion Terracotta Warriors had a fairly high chance of dropping treasures. Four of them dropped one Spirit Essence. Unfortunately, he wasn't of the undead type and couldn't use it, so it could only be used as milk powder for Xingzi.

Within the stardust, the energy was so full it was about to overflow, stretching the light membrane binding it to its limit. The path to the Intermediate level was wide and broad.

Only then did Xu Fang clearly see the figure surrounded.

"Captain!"

He Ming's military uniform was completely tattered, caked with dirt and blood. The remaining Demonic Energy could no longer sustain the consumption of his Holy Shield, and his aura was as weak as an ordinary person's.

"Take me... back."

He Ming opened his mouth and squeezed out these words.

Xu Fang didn't hesitate. He immediately slung He Ming over his shoulder, abandoning the fight. He activated his Footwear Magic Tool and rushed towards the city wall at full speed.

But Murphy's Law tells you that what you want doesn't come when you want it, and what you don't want comes endlessly.

Along the way, an endless stream of Terracotta Army soldiers swarmed to block him. Xu Fang didn't want to get entangled with them. Although he was the type to grow stronger the more he fought, He Ming on his back was about to give out!

"Get lost!"

He quickly opened a path with Magic, and before the Terracotta Army soldiers on both sides could close in, Xu Fang accelerated and charged through.

What made his heart sink was that outside the encirclement, there were new encirclements, endless like a quagmire.

With Xu Fang's own strength, breaking through wouldn't be a problem. But breaking through before He Ming suffocated was unlikely.

He Ming's consciousness was already fading. Xu Fang decided to take a gamble.

"Fluorescence · Radiance · Blind!"

An Intermediate level three Radiance, wielded by Xu Fang, erupted like a dazzling sun, hurled forcefully into the sky, attracting the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The other Military Mages would definitely rush over with all their might if they saw this.

But this also put him in the crosshairs. Before that... Xu Fang looked at the even more numerous Terracotta Army soldiers and gripped his Cloud Slaying Sword.

He could only rely on himself!

Quantity is truth. Xu Fang deeply agreed.

He, who had effortlessly slain a General-level Captain just moments ago, found himself restricted when facing a vast ocean of Servant level Officer Figurines.

Solar Flame Light Slash couldn't be used. Killing Servant level units would result in more losses than gains. The depleted Demonic Energy could drag Xu Fang to his death. In less than half a minute, he would be overwhelmed and buried under a dozen layers.

High Temperature Core was a good idea; it was like an invincible golden body against Servant level units.

----But in that case, He Ming, who was lying on Xu Fang's back and would also be burned to charcoal, would likely have something to say.

As for other Skills, their damage range was insufficient. Often, the number killed was less than the number of reinforcements.

The encirclement grew smaller. Without the command of the General Figurines, the Terracotta Army soldiers became chaotic, no different from ordinary undead, crowding and pouncing.

"Fluorescence · Radiance · Shine!"

Xu Fang controlled his Star Seeds, sacrificing destructive power to expand the area of effect.

Under the light, most of the Terracotta Army soldiers only had their outer armor destroyed, but they still wielded their weapons and continued to attack.

Xu Fang took out the Bomb from his pocket and unhesitatingly poured a wisp of Demonic Energy into it, throwing it with great force.

BOOM!!!!!

The Bomb, re-optimized by the military blacksmiths, was indeed much stronger than Xu Fang's original version, and it even had a shockwave effect.

As the heavens and earth shook, the now brittle Terracotta Army soldiers were wiped out in waves.

"Slash!"

Xu Fang didn't stop for a moment, activating the Cloud Slaying Sword's inherent Skill.

He stomped his legs hard on the ground, and his newly repaired Copper Light Boots were completely ruined. Using this force, Xu Fang twisted and turned in a way that would make Newton cry.

The sword's light transformed into a halo, reaping the Terracotta Army soldiers chasing behind him.

The nearly closed encirclement was torn open by him.

Through the gaps in the Terracotta Army, Xu Fang saw streaks of shining Star Tracks, and magical fluctuations that were growing closer.

Reinforcements, finally here!
