Ju Yi could only sigh in resignation. While his First Ascendants wielded knives and carried small round shields, they were, in essence, heavily armed crossbowmen, specialized in breaking formations and cutting down enemies with high-powered bolts.
Hua Xiong's Xiliang cavalry, despite their inferior equipment, were naturally elite troops. Just as the White Horse Cavalry were known for their extreme speed, the Xiliang cavalry were renowned for their formidable defense.

Before the blood-red shadow even reached Hua Xiong, he could already feel the immense pressure. The cloud energy, gathered through the formation and equal to the strength of his entire army, began to shatter at this moment. Some of the soldiers following him were even blown off their horses by the fierce storm.
"Trample the mountains and rivers!" Hua Xiong roared with wide eyes. The undefeated Xiliang cavalry couldn't allow their unbeaten streak to end here. As he gazed at the da...

Ju Yi glanced at the Xiliang cavalry retreating in the distance and signaled his troops to regroup and assist Yan Liang. Seizing the opportunity while those "sticky troublemakers" were leaving, Ju Yi quickly led his forces toward Yan Liang's location.
For infantry to completely annihilate cavalry, aside from an overwhelming difference in combat strength, it is crucial to restrict the cavalry's mobility. Even if the First Ascendants could confidently defeat three times their numbe...

"How could this happen!" Sun Yan tumbled off his horse, staring in disbelief at the scene before him. His force of 1,500 cavalry had fallen into chaos due to an unexpected disruption, their vanguard scattered, and they were now forced into a melee with the First Ascendant infantry.
"Spread out!" Li Hu shouted, but the immense momentum of the Xiliang cavalry made it impossible to rein in their horses within such a short distance of less than ten zhang. The troops behind had no tim...

"If these two engage in battle, one could see something."
The Moonlight Saint's eyes were indifferent, showing no concern for others, and he had not even glanced at them. However, he was deeply troubled by Li Hao's sword strike.
Had it not been for his master's comfort afterward, his Dao heart would have almost cracked.
Aside from these Holy Sons, many elders from major forces in the crowd had also come to watch.

"This is the territory of the Lion Mercenary Group," Huang Conghui said with a cold smile, dressed in the armor of the Lion Mercenary Group as he looked at Brother Hu and his men.
"Hahaha!" Brother Hu laughed loudly upon hearing Huang Conghui's words. "Do you think I don't recognize the Lion Mercenary Group? This area is under Lin Aotian's jurisdiction, isn't it? Where is he?" Brother Hu's eyes swept over Ren Xing and the others, his voice turning cold.

The Lion Mercenary Group had many warriors—far more than the few dozens that had just been killed.
"Besides, this was only one of their vice-captains. From what I know, they have three vice-captains in total," Ren Xing said calmly.
"Three!?" Huang Conghui was stunned and blurted out in shock.
"Of course, you wouldn't know. The Lion Mercenary Group has been expanding rapidly. They now have the support of the city lord of Qingcheng and the city lord of Tiancheng. It's...

The onlookers gasped in shock as they witnessed the scene.
“Let me show you what real martial techniques are!” Ren Xing snarled, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
With the Yao Zhan Sword in hand, he unleashed a flurry of attacks, slashing through the air wildly. Each strike summoned the terrifying [Dark Flame Soul Slash], and white flames surged from his sword, shooting straight toward Lin Aotian.
Although Lin Aotian was quick to react, the speed of the whi...

"But this mountain range is truly rich in resources," Ren Xing couldn't help but remark as he walked around.
Within the Tiangu Mountains, there were many untapped mineral veins, and the surrounding area was full of valuable herbs. These things were all wealth!

However, at that moment, a terrifying aura surged from the distan...

She was confident in her plainness.

The blonde woman lowered her head slightly, her face flushing pink—a gentle shyness, like a lotus in the breeze, too delicate to bear the cool air.
Qin Zi inhaled sharply.

It made his scalp tingle!

Moreover, it seemed he didn't even need to spend any money anymore.

Was this truly a battle between beings of the same realm?

Meanwhile, at the Jiang household.
Jiang's mother and elder brother were stunned when they saw a cluster of colorful light suddenly emerge from Jiang Youfu’s body, transforming into a glowing book.
After a long moment, Jiang's mother finally found her voice and stammered as she pointed to the book in Jiang Youfu's hand:
