Testing Each Other, the First Clash!

The cold winds of the north, carrying frost and snow, have swept across the Ten Thousand Li Great Wall, where snow has piled up to a thickness of more than three feet, forming a plain...

The chilling atmosphere, mingled with the cold wind, made it impossible for anyone to be careless!

The biting cold dimmed the sunlight, and the approaching dark clouds completely obscured the sky; it was cold and oppressive...

It keeps countless people on edge!

A sentry patrolling the city wall gazed at the desolate, empty mountains to the north. This scene moved the sentry...

I couldn't help but think of my wife. I wonder how they are doing now?

He came from an eighth-rank power, a local tyrant, and was considered an elite member of his clan...

He can be considered the pre-selected successor, with the potential to become a cultivator!

But within this Northern Frontier Great Wall, there are those like him...

Not too many, maybe 80,000 if not 100,000, just enough to serve as sentries patrolling the city gates, fighting on the front lines of the battlefield...

This also made him realize that the saying "there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding" might not be unfounded. Those who consider themselves geniuses...

In the face of truly overwhelming forces, we are nothing more than a speck of dust, more pathetic than ants!

Since that experience, he has calmed down and just wants to face life well and enjoy every day...

Enjoy the sunshine, the tranquility as it warms your skin...

The simple happiness felt when enjoying family time!

He looked up at the sky and muttered to himself:

"If I make it back alive this time, I'll never travel far again. I'll spend more time with my wife and children; that would make my life complete..."

"If only I could sit down and have a meal with my family right now..."

"I want to go home so badly..."

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the sound of flesh being pierced made the sentry pause in surprise...

He stared blankly at his chest, finally collapsing to his knees, his pupils dilating. He took one last look at the sky...

And so they were plunged into darkness forever!

"It seems there's no going back..."

When thought is completely severed, it also means complete death...

A humanoid Wolf Demon, standing over two zhang tall, tilted its head back and swallowed the sentry's corpse whole, its face revealing an undisguised satisfaction!

"Awooo!!!"

As the wolf's howl echoed into the deep mountains, countless roars of beasts responded in response, creating an avalanche-like scene from afar!

And the next moment-

A figure flashed past at lightning speed—it was that humanoid Wolf Demon...

Instantly, its head and body were separated, and its beast blood gushed out, staining the bluestone city bricks red and adding a sweet scent to the air...

"They've arrived as expected..."

"However, it seems to be just a feint; the main force is still behind..."

"A humanoid Wolf Demon?"

"It's somewhat like the Snow Wolf Half-Demon, the offspring of a human and a transformed Demon Beast, as described in the Book of Myriad Spirits..."

"However, this bloodline is already very thin. The Snow Wolf Demon Race declined ten thousand years ago and has not been able to produce a new Fifth-Tier Snow Wolf since..."

"The Frost Spirit Demon Race, are they planning to test the waters by taking down other Demon Race first?"

Qin Mingyuan flicked his blade, scattering the demon blood, a chilling glint in his eyes. Then, flames erupted, instantly engulfing a thousand miles in flames...

One after another, armies of ten thousand men each ascended the Great Wall, took up their positions, and countless archers drew their longbows, concentrating their True Essence on the arrowheads!

At the same time--

Well-equipped legions are ready to march across the Great Wall should the city walls be in danger of being breached...

Confront the crisis of the beast tide head-on and defeat it!

soon--

The earth began to tremble, and the accumulated snow was swept into the air by the rushing beasts. Even those atop the city walls could clearly feel the shaking...

At this moment, all the beasts have arrived!

Countless wild beasts attacked this place, and there were countless Wolf Demon, too many to count. Looking around, there were no fewer than hundreds of thousands, or even millions!

Before Qin Mingyuan could even react to the sweeping tide of beasts...

A group of thirty cultivators had already arrived at the first battlefield, their movements perfectly coordinated...

The leader among them was Wang Ben, one of the three generals of the Wang Clan!

After nodding to Qin Mingyuan, Wang Ben took the initiative to take control of the battle, displaying the demeanor of a great general!

"This beast tide poses little threat; only 100,000 armored soldiers are needed..."

That's enough!

Wang Ben's expression hardened, flames surged around him, and a massive flaming banner instantly materialized atop the Great Wall...

The warm air made all the soldiers feel comforted!

Suddenly--

The soldiers' fighting spirit surged, their blood boiled, as if they had inexhaustible energy, all within a few short seconds...

Wang Ben then rallied the troops and immediately gave the order:

"Archers fire three volleys in quick succession!"

"Arrows carrying explosive dust were then switched to fire arrows to attack the beast horde, followed by adjustments based on the situation..."

"The North Wind Army Seventh Army Group has dispatched 50,000 armored soldiers to fight outside the city walls, forming a ten-square formation to meet the enemy and defend the Great Wall!"

"Warrior lead the way, all soldiers cooperate, organized by Squad Leader, and fight in unison..."

One after another, military orders were issued.

Immediately, 50,000 troops poured out from the hidden gate of the Great Wall...

In a short while, the 50,000 men lined up in formation, eventually forming a ten-directional battle formation with 5,000 men as a whole!

Then the ten battle formations were arranged in a U-shape...

It's like a series of pockets, waiting for the demons to jump in. Once they fall into the pit, they will be instantly surrounded and killed by the soldiers!

At the same time, all the archers also fired their arrows upwards simultaneously...

now--

Arrows rained down, piercing the sea of beasts and causing countless deaths and injuries, but they only dulled the beast tide, rendering it insignificant!

But a powder bag was tied to the tail of the arrow; when the powder bag broke...

A cloud of gray powder immediately spread out, followed by a second and third round of arrows, each volley slowing down the beast tide's offensive.

Then--

When the beast horde was less than fifty paces from the city wall, the final volley of rockets burst forth. The instant the flames touched the gray dust...

A raging fire instantly spread along the powder!

Almost instantly, the fire spread for hundreds of meters, and tens of thousands of animals were engulfed in a sea of flames...

Some physically powerful Demon Beast, having barely managed to cross the fire...

They then discovered a large group of armored soldiers, still fully prepared, with the first rank of soldiers raising their tall, black square shields...

This allowed them to construct a steel barrier that stretched for miles!

The thousands of Snow Wolf Half-Demon who charged out alongside them were all engulfed in flames, burned beyond recognition, and ultimately met a tragic end under the might of the Qin Clan army...

As of now-

This aggressive invasion, under Wang Ben's arrangement, seemed like a minor skirmish!

They truly used an army of 100,000 to hold off Demon Race tide of hundreds of thousands, even millions, of demons, without a single one being injured...

They had already wiped out the Demon Race, along with at least fifty or sixty thousand beasts, of which tens of thousands were Demon Beast. It was quite a fierce battle...

Wang Ben was beaten so badly he was treated like a child playing house!
