After firing three arrows, Sheng Huai'an quickly moved to a new spot.

The Xiongnu Cavalry had set their sights on him, and as soon as he showed himself, hundreds of arrows rained down on him.

He hadn't yet cultivated to the realm of impenetrable skin and bone, so he couldn't be fearless against arrows.

After shooting all the arrows in his quiver, he hid, waiting for the Xiongnu enemy army to attack the city.

While bows and arrows were fast at killing enemies, the Xiongnu Cavalry were all focused on him now, leaving him little room to maneuver.

He had briefly killed about fifty Xiongnu Cavalry, drawing their fire and greatly reducing the pressure on the other soldiers.

Soon, the Xiongnu enemy army suffered considerable casualties and began climbing the city walls.

Once the Xiongnu soldiers started climbing the city walls, the Xiongnu Cavalry on the walls stopped shooting arrows at them.

Seeing the Xiongnu soldiers climb up, Sheng Huai'an broke into a happy smile.

The Xiongnu soldier climbing in front of him, seeing Sheng Huai'an's happy smile, was stunned for a moment.

Why did he feel like Sheng Huai'an was happy to see him?!

That smile was exactly like a brothel madam seeing a customer.

Sheng Huai'an drew his saber, stepped forward, and slashed.

The Xiongnu soldier reacted with lightning speed, drawing his saber to block.

"Clang!"

Cut in two, man and saber alike!

This Xiongnu soldier was cleaved in two, along with his saber, by Sheng Huai'an's strike.

With strength comparable to a Martial Master Mid Stage, Sheng Huai'an's single strike delivered a force of four to five thousand jin.

Seeing the endless stream of Xiongnu soldiers climbing the city walls, Sheng Huai'an felt genuinely happy.

It was time to hunt!

My saber has been thirsty for too long!

"Kill!!"

The city walls instantly erupted, the shouts of killing reaching the heavens.

Sheng Huai'an naturally joined the fray.

His perfected Blood Fiend Saber Technique acted like a death reaping machine, with Xiongnu soldiers constantly falling under his blade.

Among the Xiongnu army, few Martial Practitioners who encountered Sheng Huai'an could withstand two of his blows.

After two strikes, there was no survival!

He almost never needed a third strike.

He was like a bloody butcher, ceaselessly slaughtering the Xiongnu enemy army, with over a hundred enemies falling to his saber.

"Die!"

A sharp blade edge attacked.

Sheng Huai'an parried with his saber, blocking the peerlessly lethal strike.

Focusing his gaze, he saw a burly Xiongnu man filled with killing intent, his vital energy surging, clearly a Xiongnu Martial Master.

Seeing Sheng Huai'an's excessive slaughter, the Xiongnu powerhouses couldn't sit still. Bai Tu abandoned his fight with the high-level defenders and went after Sheng Huai'an.

"Martial Master!"

Sheng Huai'an felt no fear; instead, his blood boiled.

"Kill!!"

Sheng Huai'an swung his saber forward, initiating the attack, his saber glowing with red malevolent energy.

"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Rain Night Saber!"

"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Saber Strike Sparrow!"

"Blood Fiend Saber Technique, Night Battle Eight Directions!"

Blade shadows, as rapid as light and rain, continuously struck towards Bai Tu.

Bai Tu was at the Martial Master Late Stage, his vital energy surging, his combat power astonishing. He was a chiliarch within the Xiongnu army.

But now, facing Sheng Huai'an, he was incredibly shocked. This Wei youth, who looked no more than a Martial Practitioner Great Perfection, possessed strength no weaker than his own.

And this saber technique, so sharp and carrying such heavy killing intent, made him feel a sense of dread.

This young man of the era was beginning to make his mark!

"Kill!!"

Bai Tu exerted his strength, his vital energy surging, his entire being seemingly enveloped in a layer of red protective energy.

Sheng Huai'an immediately felt the opponent's strength increase significantly. The surging vital energy was scorching, making him feel a degree of pressure.

Sheng Huai'an also circulated his internal true essence to its limit, becoming like a bloodthirsty beast, fighting ferociously against Bai Tu.

"So strong!"

"Which camp's Centurion is he?"

"I don't know, he's not one of our Battalion Commanders."

"So young, and with the cultivation of a Martial Practitioner, he's fighting a late-stage Xiongnu Martial Master. Terrifying!"

The surrounding Anning Pass defenders were all shocked by Sheng Huai'an's ferocity.

"I know him! He's the one rumored to have led the charge, the first to raid the enemy camp, caused chaos within it, and then led his men to slaughter across the plains, bringing back over a thousand warhorses. It's Sheng Huai'an." A soldier recognized Sheng Huai'an.

"It's him?!"

"He's not from our camp, why is he up on the city wall fighting?"

"So young!"

"This kid is terrifying. If he doesn't die, he will surely make a name for himself across the land."

"Boom!!"

From the Xiongnu army, two figures flew through the air, their auras vast and oppressive, making hearts pound and breath catch.

"Yang Ye, come out and die!" one of the black-robed figures spoke, his voice like rolling thunder, echoing throughout Anning Pass.

Countless soldiers felt the terrifying pressure, both the Anning Pass defenders and the Xiongnu soldiers.

"How dare they! Who dares to call the General by name so brazenly?!" a resident within the city exclaimed.

"They must be Xiongnu powerhouses!"

"The Grandmasters are making their move!" The Xiongnu soldiers who had scaled the city wall revealed looks of joy.

"Presumptuous!"

General Who Breaks the Barbarians Sun Hao was furious. If his strength were sufficient, he would have personally struck down the two figures.

"Boom!"

A figure stepped out from the city tower into the sky, appearing in the air. Clad in red robes and golden armor, his entire body radiated golden light, majestic and imposing.

Grandmaster level experts could already fly.

"Spear!"

From the city tower, an Overlord Spear flew out, landing in the hands of the red-robed, golden-armored general.

"Come and fight!"

Yang Ye pointed his spear at the two Xiongnu Grandmaster powerhouses.

"Kill!"

The two Xiongnu Grandmasters, their bodies surging with black qi, one wielding a mace and the other a saber, charged towards Yang Ye.

"Boom!"

Yang Ye brandished the Overlord Spear, his spear strikes like dragons, powerful and fierce.

"Boom..."

The clash of weapons was like thunder, resounding through the heavens. Three terrifying surges of true qi spread like waves in the sky.

The immense pressure caused the soldiers below to tremble with fear.

Grandmaster experts, each strike containing terrifying power, made countless people tremble and feel apprehensive even from a distance.

Sheng Huai'an and Bai Tu stopped fighting, both watching the three figures enveloped in qi battling in the sky.

Yang Ye wielded the Overlord Spear with perfect mastery. Each strike possessed the power to split mountains and sever seas. He was single-handedly suppressing the two Xiongnu Grandmaster powerhouses.

The battle of Grandmasters was as awe-inspiring as celestial beings, exuding immense pressure.

If the three figures battling in the sky were not focused on each other, any casual palm strike would have been unstoppable for those on the ground.

Fierce qi churned like boiling water, overbearing martial qi oppressed heaven and earth, blood qi surged into the sky like smoke. Every movement held immense power; this was the might of a Martial Grandmaster.

"Grandmaster!"

"Is this a Grandmaster?" Sheng Huai'an murmured.

Such might was a hundred times greater than that of a Martial Practitioner.

This was the true martial artist, capable of immense power with every gesture, able to crush mountains with a fist, sever seas with a saber, their might as vast as the ocean.

At this moment, heaven and earth trembled. Countless people stared with wide mouths, mouths agape at the Grandmaster martial artists battling in the sky.

Sheng Huai'an quickly collected his thoughts and glanced at Bai Tu. The latter was still immersed in the grandeur of the Grandmaster powerhouses, his eyes filled with fear and longing.

Immediately, Sheng Huai'an plunged his saber into Bai Tu's left kidney.

"Chii!!"

Feeling the sharp pain, Bai Tu snapped back to reality, looking at the saber embedded in his left side, his face ashen.

"Holy crap!"

"Attacking from ambush..."

Sheng Huai'an didn't care. He drew his saber horizontally, put force into it, and cut Bai Tu in half at the waist.

Bai Tu's eyes widened, his expression filled with unwillingness as he died.

This way of dying was too stifling. As a dignified Martial Master expert, to be ambushed and killed like this, he still had a bright future, and a beautiful wife at home...

Everyone was watching the Grandmaster battle, and some rogue element broke the rules with an ambush.

After killing Bai Tu, Sheng Huai'an directly gained twenty Slaughter Value.

"Martial Master Late Stage, twenty Slaughter Value?!" Sheng Huai'an could feel that the stronger the enemy he killed, the more Slaughter Value he gained.

The Grandmaster battle in the sky at this moment caused the battlefield to fall into a standstill.

Everyone was watching the battle of Grandmaster level.

Sheng Huai'an looked at the stunned Xiongnu soldiers and the Anning Pass defenders.

He didn't understand. This was a battlefield, what did the Grandmaster battle have to do with them?

When a rule-breaking rogue element mixed into the crowd, the destructive power was immense.

Sheng Huai'an raised his saber and slashed at the Xiongnu soldiers who were watching the battle.

Soon, Xiongnu soldiers snapped back to reality. By the time they did, Sheng Huai'an had already killed over twenty Xiongnu soldiers.

"Damn it, kill, seize the city wall!" a strong Xiongnu soldier shouted.

The defenders also snapped back to reality.

"Kill!!"

On the city wall, the battle reignited, blood flying, limbs and arms severed, the scene as bloody as hell.
