Slaying the General Before the City!

Just as Zhang Dalong spat blood and retreated, Ding Hao, with no time to spare, took his place and once again charged at Man Potian with his saber!

As the Primordial Barbarian Bloodline was unleashed, Man Potian's barbarian blood power continued to be offset by him, allowing Ding Hao to once again suppress Man Potian with overwhelming force, cutting him until he spat blood repeatedly!

"Damn it!"

"This must be because I was too unlucky the last two times, getting hit by Man Potian's accumulated power by sheer coincidence!"

Seeing Ding Hao suppress Man Potian before his eyes once again!

Zhang Dalong's eyes widened in disbelief. He could clearly feel Ding Hao's strength, which was definitely not greater than his own. If Ding Hao could suppress Man Potian so forcefully, then he, Zhang Dalong, absolutely could too!

He just needed to be careful of Man Potian's sudden burst of power!

"Scram!"

"This old barbarian's life must be mine, Zhang Dalong's!"

With that, Zhang Dalong, dragging his great saber, rushed towards Ding Hao again!

Ding Hao didn't argue and once again stepped aside, letting Zhang Dalong face Man Potian!

As a result, with a bang, Man Potian's barbarian blood power erupted again, once again sending Zhang Dalong flying, blood splattering everywhere!

"Damn it!"

Zhang Dalong cursed incessantly.

He didn't understand!

He really didn't understand!!

And not understanding, Zhang Dalong, enduring his injuries, rushed forward twice more.

Each time, however, he was heavily repelled by Man Potian, while Ding Hao could always steadily suppress Man Potian!

"Something's wrong!"

Finally, Zhang Dalong became vigilant.

His repeated failures made him fully realize that it wasn't that Man Potian's strength was weak, but that Ding Hao had a method to counter Man Potian.

He himself could not do this, which was why he was repelled by Man Potian time and time again!

"Damn it!"

At this moment, Man Potian on the opposite side clearly noticed this problem too!

A great sense of frustration arose within him. He could die on the battlefield, but he absolutely could not die so frustratingly at the hands of someone in the True Martial Third Layer.

Furthermore, looking around, the Northern Barbarian Army's formation had already collapsed completely, with no hope of resisting the Divine Phoenix Army anymore!

"Retreat!"

"Retreat back to the Royal Court!"

Thus, Man Potian seized the opportunity to grab a warhorse and fled!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Ding Hao let out a cold shout, also leaping onto an ownerless warhorse, kicking its belly hard, and quickly chasing after Man Potian!

Zhang Dalong, unwilling to give up, also mounted a warhorse and pursued closely.

Meanwhile, seeing their Army Lord fleeing on horseback, the Northern Barbarian army also began to rout, and the Divine Phoenix Army began to pursue and kill them all the way...

For a time, the initial encounter battle instantly evolved into a pursuit battle!

The defeated Northern Barbarian army, led by their commander Man Potian, fled ahead, while Ding Hao, Zhang Dalong, and other soldiers of the Divine Phoenix Army pursued from behind!

During the chase and flight, Northern Barbarian soldiers continuously dropped their bodies, and the road for hundreds of miles was almost paved with the corpses of barbarian soldiers!

Finally, after a long period of pursuit and evasion, a magnificent city appeared ahead.

This city was none other than the center of power for the Northern Barbarian tribes, Royal Court City, equivalent to the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

At this moment.

The Northern Barbarian army was reduced to a mere hundred cavalry led by Man Potian.

And with the whistling arrows, the hundred-plus cavalry continued to dwindle!

"Open the gate!"

"Quickly open the city gate!"

Still a thousand meters away, Man Potian and the others roared towards Royal Court City, their expressions filled with extreme urgency and terror!

And less than a hundred meters behind them, a troop of Great Zhou cavalry was in hot pursuit, with Ding Hao and Zhang Dalong at the very front!

As the horses of Man Potian and the others were hit by arrows to varying degrees, the distance between them and Ding Hao's group was rapidly closing!

At this speed, they would be able to intercept Man Potian and the others completely before they could escape into the Northern Barbarian Royal Court City!

"This can't go on like this!"

"If I, Zhang Dalong, can't have it, you, Ding Hao, won't get it either!"

Seeing this scene, a mischievous thought suddenly arose in Zhang Dalong's mind!

He no longer had any thought of killing Man Potian. He knew very clearly that he was no match for Man Potian at all!

But Ding Hao was different!

Once Man Potian was intercepted, he would definitely be able to kill Man Potian!

Thus.

Seeing that there were only a dozen meters left and he was about to catch up to Man Potian.

Hiss!

Zhang Dalong suddenly yanked the reins, violently ramming his warhorse towards Ding Hao's warhorse, and at the same time, feigning panic, he shouted, "Oh no, my horse is spooked!"

"Damn it!"

This sudden turn of events made Ding Hao's heart sink.

He understood that "horse spooked" was just an excuse. Zhang Dalong was determined not to let him get the final kill credit!

But—he was not going to let Zhang Dalong have his way today!

"Wind Treading Steps!"

"True Meaning of Wind!"

"Rise for me!!"

At the critical moment, Ding Hao decisively abandoned his horse, forcefully kicking off the horse's back. As the two warhorses collided and fell to the ground, he himself soared up like a hawk!

If it were an ordinary True Martial Realm cultivator, even if they leaped high, they would fall straight down after a few seconds.

But at this moment, Ding Hao, utilizing the perfected Wind Treading Steps and the True Meaning of Wind, had forcefully shattered this conventional understanding!

He seemed to be walking on the wind, taking more than ten steps in mid-air with his Mysterious Iron Saber.

Instantly crossing the final distance, he arrived above Man Potian.

"Ah!"

"What!"

"How is this possible!"

At this moment, whether it was Zhang Dalong and the other Divine Phoenix Army soldiers, or Man Potian and his men, their pupils contracted in shock, and their faces turned deathly pale!

Levitation!!

This was an ability that only Grandmaster Realm experts could display, yet Ding Hao, a True Martial Third Layer cultivator, had forcefully executed it!

It was simply defying the heavens!

"Ding Hao, a death row inmate from the Great Zhou Divine Phoenix Army's Death Row Camp!"

"Today, amidst the ten thousand troops—I will slay the general!!"

Ding Hao in the air let out a shout like divine thunder.

But faster than his shout was his descending body and the Mysterious Iron Saber, which he swung down fiercely with the Heaven Collapsing Style of the Three Talents Saber Technique!

From afar, a blindingly brilliant saber light cascaded!

Like Mount Tai pressing down, or an avalanche of ice and snow, the terrifying saber edge carried rapid, explosive wind sounds and world-collapsing power!

"Ah!"

Sensing this, Man Potian's pair of aged eyes widened, and an icy chill of death shot straight up from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head!

Although he relied on his Grandmaster Realm reaction speed to immediately raise his Black Gold Hammer to block and defend!

But unfortunately, his Primordial Barbarian Bloodline was suppressed, and the strength he could unleash at this moment was still very weak!

"No!"

Finally, accompanied by Man Potian's unwilling and grief-filled roar, Ding Hao's Mysterious Iron Saber cleaved down unimpeded!

From the Black Gold Hammer, to his skull, to his sturdy body, and even his warhorse, he was split in two by this single saber strike!

Blood splattered everywhere, shocking countless people to their core!!
