After firing three arrows, Sheng Huai'an quickly changed positions.
The Xiongnu Cavalry had set their sights on him. The moment he showed himself, hundreds of arrows flew toward him.
He had yet to cultivate to the realm of copper skin and iron bones; he could not yet disregard arrows.
Once he had fired all the arrows in his hand, he hid and waited for the Xiongnu enemy army to assault the city.
Though shooting enemies with a bow was fast, the Xiongnu Cavalry were all watching him now, leaving him little room to act.
In that brief span, he shot down more than fifty Xiongnu Cavalrymen, drawing their fire and greatly easing the pressure on the other soldiers.
Before long, after suffering considerable casualties, the Xiongnu enemy army climbed onto the city wall.
Once the Xiongnu soldiers made it onto the wall, the Xiongnu Cavalry below stopped firing arrows at the wall.
Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers climbing up, Sheng Huai'an smiled happily.
The Xiongnu soldier climbing up before him froze when he saw Sheng Huai'an's delighted smile.
Why did he feel like Sheng Huai'an was happy to see him!?
That smile was exactly like the smile of a brothel madam upon seeing a customer.
Sheng Huai'an drew his saber, stepped forward, and slashed.
The Xiongnu soldier reacted swiftly, drawing his saber to block.
Clang!
One slash cleaved both man and blade in two!
That Xiongnu soldier was cut into two halves, man and saber alike, by Sheng Huai'an's strike.
With strength comparable to a Martial Master Mid Stage, Sheng Huai'an's sudden burst of force gave his slash the power of four or five thousand jin.
Watching the endless stream of Xiongnu soldiers climbing onto the wall, Sheng Huai'an felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
The hunt had begun!
My great saber had long been hungry beyond endurance!
Kill!!
In an instant, the city wall boiled over, cries of battle soaring into the heavens.
Sheng Huai'an naturally joined the ranks of battle as well.
The Blood Fiend Saber Technique at great mastery was like a reaper of death, and Xiongnu soldiers continuously fell beneath his blade.
Among the soldiers and martial practitioners of the Xiongnu army, few who encountered Sheng Huai'an could withstand even two of his strikes.
Under two strikes, there was death and no life!
Almost no one could make him use a third strike.
Like a butcher stained in blood, he slaughtered the Xiongnu enemy army without pause. More than a hundred enemy soldiers had already fallen beneath his blade.
Die!
A chilling blade swept toward him.
Sheng Huai'an raised his saber to block, stopping that peerlessly murderous strike.
Looking closely, he saw a burly Xiongnu man brimming with Killing Intent. His blood and qi roiled violently; he was clearly a Xiongnu Martial Master.
Seeing Sheng Huai'an slaughtering too freely, the Xiongnu expert could no longer sit still. Bai Tu abandoned his battle with an expert among the defenders and came for Sheng Huai'an.
"A Martial Master!"
Sheng Huai'an felt no fear. Instead, the blood in his veins began to boil.
Kill!!
Sheng Huai'an charged forward with saber in hand, launching the attack himself. Red Killing Intent shimmered along his blade.
"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Saber Through the Rainy Night!"
"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Saber Strike Sparrow!"
"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Night Battle in Eight Directions!"
Layers upon layers of saber shadows, swift as a rain of light, endlessly slashed toward Bai Tu.
Bai Tu was a late-stage Martial Master. His blood and qi surged like waves, and his battle prowess was astonishing. He was a commander of a thousand in the Xiongnu army.
Yet now, facing Sheng Huai'an, he was incomparably shocked. This Wei man, who looked to be no more than at Martial Practitioner Great Perfection, possessed strength no weaker than his own.
And this saber technique was sharp and laden with an immensely murderous aura. Even he felt his heart tremble when facing it.
This young man was beginning to reveal his edge!
Kill!!
Bai Tu exerted his strength. Blood and qi surged through his body, and he seemed shrouded in a layer of red true qi.
Sheng Huai'an immediately felt the other man's strength rise sharply. That surging blood and qi burned hot, making him feel a degree of pressure.
Sheng Huai'an also circulated the true essence within him to its limit. Like a ferocious beast of slaughter, he fought Bai Tu madly.
"So strong!"
"Which camp's commander of a thousand is this man?"
"I don't know. He isn't either of the Battalion Commanders from our camp."
"So young, yet with the cultivation of a Martial Practitioner, he is fighting a late-stage Xiongnu Martial Master. Terrifying indeed!"
The Anning Pass defenders nearby were all incomparably shocked at the sight of Sheng Huai'an's ferocity.
"I know him. He's Sheng Huai'an, the one rumored to have led the first raid into the enemy camp, turned their camp upside down, then led his men across the grasslands in slaughter and conquest before returning with over a thousand warhorses," a soldier said, recognizing Sheng Huai'an.
"It was him?!"
"He isn't from our camp. Why did he come up onto the wall to kill enemies too?"
"So young!"
"This youth is terrifying indeed. If he does not die, he will surely make his name known throughout the realm."
Boom!!
From within the Xiongnu army, two figures flew through the air. Their auras blanketed heaven and earth, pressing so hard that hearts seemed to stop beating and people could scarcely breathe.
"Yang Ye, come out and die!" one of the black-robed men shouted, his voice rolling like heavenly thunder across all of Anning Pass.
Countless soldiers felt a terrifying pressure, whether they were Anning Pass defenders or Xiongnu soldiers.
"Such audacity! Who dares call the general's name so directly?!" a resident within the city said.
"They must be Xiongnu experts!"
"The grandmasters have made their move!" The Xiongnu soldiers who had climbed onto the wall all revealed delighted expressions.
"Insolence!"
General Who Breaks the Barbarians Sun Hao was furious. If his strength had been sufficient, he would have taken action and cut the two men down.
Boom!
A figure rose into the air from the city tower and appeared in the sky. Clad in red robes and golden armor, he shone with golden light, majestic and domineering.
Grandmaster-level experts could already travel through the air.
"Bring me my spear!"
From atop the city tower, an Overlord Spear flew out and landed in the hands of the red-robed, gold-armored general.
"Come and fight!"
Yang Ye pointed his spear at the two Xiongnu Grandmaster experts.
Kill!
The two Xiongnu Grandmasters surged with black true qi. One wielded a wolf-tooth mace, the other a battle saber, and they charged at Yang Ye.
Boom!
Yang Ye swung the Overlord Spear. The spear shot forth like a dragon, tyrannical and fierce.
Boom...
The weapons collided like heavenly thunder, echoing across the sky. Three torrents of terrifying true qi spread through the heavens like tidal waves.
The overwhelmingly powerful pressure made the soldiers below tremble in fear.
Every strike from a Grandmaster contained incomparably terrifying power. Even from far away, it made countless people shudder and panic.
Sheng Huai'an and Bai Tu stopped fighting, both looking up at the three figures battling beneath shrouds of true qi in the sky.
Yang Ye wielded his Overlord Spear to perfection. Every strike carried the force to split mountains and sever seas, and alone, he suppressed the two Xiongnu Grandmasters.
As Grandmasters clashed, their might was like that of celestials, exuding an overpowering pressure.
Had the three figures fighting in the sky not all been focused on one another, a casual palm strike would have left no one on the ground able to withstand it.
Violent auras boiled like water. Tyrannical martial true qi oppressed heaven and earth, while blood and qi soared into the sky like waves of bloody smoke. Every gesture carried boundless might—such was the power of a martial Grandmaster.
"Grandmasters!"
"So this is a Grandmaster?" Sheng Huai'an murmured.
Such majesty surpassed that of martial practitioners by hundreds and thousands of times.
These were true martial powerhouses. Every gesture held boundless might; their fists could suppress mountains and rivers, their sabers could sever rivers and seas, and the strength within them was vast as an ocean.
At this moment, heaven and earth seemed to tremble. Countless people stood with their mouths agape, staring blankly at the Grandmasters battling in the sky.
Sheng Huai'an quickly gathered his thoughts and glanced at Bai Tu. The other man was still immersed in the grandeur of the Grandmasters, his eyes filled with fear and yearning.
At once, Sheng Huai'an drove his saber into Bai Tu's left kidney.
Pssh!!
Feeling the stabbing pain, Bai Tu came back to his senses. Seeing the saber lodged in his left waist, his face turned deathly pale.
"Damn your mother!"
"A sneak attack..."
Sheng Huai'an did not care. He turned the blade sideways and exerted force, cutting Bai Tu in two at the waist.
Bai Tu's eyes widened as he died with utter unwillingness written across his face.
This way of dying was far too stifling. A dignified Martial Master had been ambushed and killed so miserably. He still had a beautiful future ahead of him, and a lovely, delicate wife at home...
While everyone was watching the Grandmasters battle, an Old Six ignored the rules and launched a sneak attack.
After killing Bai Tu, Sheng Huai'an directly gained twenty points of Slaughter Value.
"A late-stage Martial Master, twenty points of Slaughter Value?!" Sheng Huai'an could feel that the stronger the enemies he killed, the more Slaughter Value he gained.
The Grandmaster battle in the sky had brought the entire battlefield to a standstill.
Everyone was watching the Grandmaster-level battle.
Sheng Huai'an looked at the Xiongnu soldiers and Anning Pass defenders standing there in a daze.
He did not understand. This was a battlefield—what did the Grandmasters' battle have to do with them?
When an Old Six who did not follow the rules slipped into a crowd, the destructive power was enormous.
Sheng Huai'an raised his saber and began hacking at the Xiongnu soldiers watching the battle.
Very soon, Xiongnu soldiers came back to their senses. By the time they did, Sheng Huai'an had already cut down more than twenty Xiongnu soldiers.
"Damn it, kill them! Take the city wall!" an expert among the Xiongnu soldiers shouted.
The defenders came back to their senses as well.
Kill!!
The battle on the city wall resumed. Blood flew everywhere, severed limbs and broken arms littered the ground, and the carnage was like hell.
