Chapter 494: Chapter 188: Barbarian Heavenly Capital, Langjuxu Mountain_2
The youth didn’t answer, he simply took his bow and arrows and disappeared into the light of the fire.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Arrows continually shot forth.
Each time accurately hitting the barbarian’s throat.
Before long, he had claimed over a dozen lives.
Su Can’s eyes were like an eagle’s, constantly drawing his bow and loosing arrows.
Soon enough, he drew the attention of the barbarians.
A barbarian of the Bone Forger Realm spurred his horse and headed straight for the youth to attack.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”
Su Can fired several arrows in succession.
However, they were all blocked by the round shield in the opponent’s hand.
As the barbarian drew near, he bent down to pick up a long knife and swung it.
In an instant,
The youth felt as if he had collided face-to-face with a mountain. His arm bones shattered inch by inch, the long knife was thrown from his grasp flying several meters away, and he himself was violently smashed against the wall. It felt as if all his internal organs were shattered, and mouthfuls of fresh blood surged up continuously, leaving him to fall to the ground, unable to move.
The glint of a blade shone before him.
Just at that moment,
A dragon’s roar echoed.
With a thunderous crash, it was as though a black dragon had stormed past, the barbarian leader’s head burst apart, with red and white matter raining down like a downpour, splattering all over Su Can’s body.
“Thud!”
Along with the muted sound, the black dragon landed beside him.
It was an arrow, glowing with a black sheen.
Looking in the direction from which the arrow had come, within the chaos of the fiery hell, he saw a robust figure slowly drawing his bow on top of a white horse, glancing at him with his peripheral vision before spurring the horse away. The long spear in his hand glittered with silver light, and wherever he passed, barbarians fell from their horses, until he completely disappeared into the darkness at the end.
“Beiliang Army!”
“The Beiliang Army has come!”
“It’s Chen Sansi from the Hongze Camp!”
“…”
The villagers, mired in the quagmire of panic, began to cry out as though grabbing onto a lifeline.
The Beiliang Army was like the scorching sun dispersing the clouds.
In less than a quarter of an hour,
The barbarians within Fengxi Village were wiped out.
“Sound the arrow signal!”
“Order the Central Army of the Great Wall to tighten the encirclement; don’t let a single one escape!”
“…”
“Giddyup!”
Chen Sansi increased his horse’s speed, his Big Bow humming as it reaped the lives of the barbarians. Carried away by the killing, he eventually grasped his long spear and plunged into the crowd. Wherever his eyes fell upon an enemy, he swept his long spear all around, his Gang Qi swirling like a tornado, unstoppable as if he were in uninhabited territory.
Several hundred barbarian cavalry were terrified out of their wits.
The last person in the Beiliang Army to inspire such terror was Ji!
Everyone said he was skilled in archery.
Yet, this spear technique was nothing short of terrifying!
Blood and blade-light filled the air.
Chen Sansi didn’t know how many he had killed. He simply kept thrusting his spear whenever he saw someone, until the armor and colors of those around him had completely changed. Only then did he pull on the reins to stop.
He looked back.
Corpses of robbers lay everywhere.
“Sir!”
Xia Cong reported, “The breach in the Great Wall has been sealed, and the barbarian cavalry who were fortunate enough to get through have also been wiped out. Shall we return to the city or…?”
“Stay at the Great Wall!”
Chen Sansi ordered.
The city was being handled by his senior brothers. The more pressing issue was the Great Wall.
“Yes!”
“…”
Soon,
Chen Sansi arrived at the northern gate tower of the town’s Great Wall.
He stood at the edge of the city wall and saw the vague figures of barbarian cavalry retreating miles away. It seemed they were not planning to continue the attack on the city, the previous offensive was likely just a probe.
Until dawn,
A few more Night Patrol Teams returned.
“Sir!”
“A new camp has been discovered by the barbarians near Huqiu Mountain!”
“There’s also one by the Agate River.”
“…”
“…”
After the information was consolidated,
It was basically determined that the barbarians were pressing across the entire Northern Territory border.
But the specific intelligence was not yet clear.
“Explore again and report back! Find out exactly how many troops are near Huqiu Mountain and who is in command.”
“Yes!”
“…”
Around midday,
News came from the city.
The turmoil triggered by the various Sects had mostly settled down.
Only Shao Yujing, Wen Zhi, and a number of High Realm Martial Artists from the Mysterious Phenomenon had disappeared without a trace, their whereabouts unknown. Everything happened so suddenly, that if it hadn’t been discovered in time that these people were controlled, it would have been unimaginable chaos if they had stayed behind during the war.
“…”
Chen Sansi recollected.
Last night, almost simultaneously with the detection of signs of trouble in the Sects, the enemy launched an attack outside the Great Wall.
It was almost certain.

There must have been a connection between the two events.
This Northern Expedition could no longer be delayed.
“Sir!”
“The Crown Prince has summoned the Main Generals of the Fourteen Camps to return to the city for a meeting.”
…
Thousands of miles away,
Heavenly Capital City.
Yuwen, Murong, Tuoba, and Duan Clan are known as the Great Desert’s four prominent leaders.
Though all part of the barbarian tribes, they had not been harmonious over the past thousand years.
Frequent conflicts and attempts to swallow each other were common, each desiring to dominate the others.
It wasn’t until the past hundred years, in response to resisting Dasheng and encroaching upon the more fertile lands of the Central Plains, that they slowly joined forces, forming the Grassland Alliance. Whenever there was a war against Dasheng, they would march and retreat together.
Even so, there was still distrust and scheming amongst themselves.
However, at this very moment,
Today,
All four Great Khan were gathered together for an unprecedented meeting.
Langjuxu Mountain!
The Great Desert grassland is divided between impoverished and prosperous territories.
The Yin Mountain Range is the boundary between the Northern Desert and Southern Desert.
South of the mountain range, the climate is relatively mild, suitable for herding cattle and sheep.
The reason the barbarians have steadily grown stronger is because of the rich resources of the Southern Desert.
Langjuxu Mountain, located within the Yin Mountain Range, is said to have been home to a gathering of myriad demons in Ancient Times until a Divine Wolf descended from the heavens and drove away the demons, allowing the Human Race to thrive in this land.
Therefore, this place is considered sacred by all four barbarian tribes.
