"Vanguard, attack!"

The vanguard, the first to climb the enemy wall in a siege and survive, is one of the four great military honors!

Under the rain of arrows, bodies fell one after another, blood flowed like a river. The Cyan Cloud Soldiers endured several rounds of arrows, gradually approaching the city wall. Suddenly, the gate of Changfeng City opened, and a team of elite Black Mountain cavalry charged out, slicing through the approaching Cyan Cloud Soldiers like sharp blades.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Both sides engaged in close combat, the sound of clashing weapons reverberated through the heavens and earth, weapons collided, flesh and blood flew.

"Hiss—"

Amidst the cracking of bones, the mournful cries of warhorses were heard. Cyan Cloud Soldiers wielding horse-cutting sabers formed a formation and broke the leg of a Black Mountain rebel cavalry’s horse, then several of them moved forward, hacking away, chopping the armored rebel leader to pieces.

"Splat!"

Yet in the next moment, before the small group of Cyan Cloud Soldiers could even celebrate, a tall centurion of the Black Mountain Rebel Army charged in, crashing two Cyan Cloud Soldiers into the air, their bones shattering.

The centurion swung his long saber, two more heads flew.

"Like a meat grinder, war... truly brutal!"

Su Mu’s blood, fueled by the battlefield, quickly cooled. Blessed with a photographic memory, he recognized many familiar faces amid the chaos.

There were people from the Qingyun City market, those from the taverns, blacksmiths from the shops on the Golden Iron Long Street, and folks from Yanque Street.

Watching the soldiers desperately fight, seeing them stab their blade weapons into the bodies of the rebel army one moment, only to be cut down by them the next, watching one after another fall, Su Mu couldn’t help but clench his fist slightly, and sighed silently in his heart.

Zhou Qing and Shangguan Ke, both from outside Qingyun’s Three Counties, now showed slightly pale faces.

Both hailed from great families in Canglan East County and Canglan North County, but had never witnessed such a large-scale battlefield massacre before. Yet soon they took deep breaths and returned to normal, their eyes gradually revealing a gleam of brilliance, their hearts giving birth to an urge to battle with the strong.

On a chariot inside the central military camp, Tao Xingzheng looked out over the chaotic slaughter, the battlefield awash with blood, an unprecedented excitement flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face, as if everything before him was an excellent play!

"Hmm? That head?"

At this moment, a Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Vice Commander of the Cyan Cloud Army, after leading an elite cavalry to slaughter dozens, approached the Changfeng City Wall, only then noticing a head hanging on the city wall.

"Kill, everyone follow up!"

The Vice Commander shouted angrily, slaying a charging rebel centurion with a single stroke, each swing of his long saber felling Black Mountain rebels, displaying extraordinary power.

But in the next breath.

A figure leapt down from the towering wall, descending from the sky, stamping down. The Cyan Cloud Vice Commander watched the figure approach, wanting to meet it, but his pupils shrank.

Along with that figure was an invisible, terrifying pressure, as if a mountain was crashing down on him, making it difficult even for him, a Seventh-Grade Muscle-Enhancing Martial Artist, to move a single finger.

"Boom!"

The figure was like a meteorite from the heavens, crashing down fiercely, not even giving time for a scream. The Cyan Cloud Vice Commander and this elite group of Cyan Cloud cavalry were instantly smashed to pieces, their bodies, bones, tendons, and even their warhorses exploded, flesh and blood flying.

The air blast sent soldiers within several meters on both sides flying, bones cracking, swept away like wheat in autumn. The shockwave spread, turning into a gale that swept across the battlefield, causing more soldiers to fall like harvested crops.

The ground trembled, fissures spread, dust rose into the sky.

"This Celestial King is here, if you wish to kill me, come forward to meet your death!"
