On the watchtower above the city gate, Xie Li and his adviser were in awe!

At first, they thought this cavalry squad was acting recklessly and doubted their chances, but who could have imagined such a colossal surprise?

This cavalry squad of over a hundred people was unexpectedly all with cultivation, especially the young leader whose strength was undoubtedly the greatest. With a swing of his long spear, no one survives within three zhang. It could be said that this cavalry squad's surprise assault crushed through like breaking bamboo, with the young leader playing a decisive role.

"Truly a fierce general!" The adviser's eyes shone brightly as he suddenly clasped his hands in salute: "My lord, such a fierce general must not be lost. If we could recruit this cavalry squad, our odds against the Black Scarf would increase by twenty percent."

Xie Li nodded: "Indeed!" Even if the adviser hadn't mentioned it, seeing such a cavalry squad sparked his interest in talent.

The adviser continued: "I observe their intention, it seems they want to pierce through the Black Scarf Army formation, and their direction is precisely towards the city gate. My lord, we need to provide support!"

Xie Li immediately understood his plan and waved over a messenger: "My lord!"

"Order the guards at the city gate to open the gate when the opportunity arises to support the cavalry squad below!"

"Understood!"

Although opening the gate at this time would pose a significant risk, welcoming this cavalry squad in would be worth the cost. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Such a cavalry squad would definitely play a monumental role in the battle against the Black Scarf.

Moreover, their target seemed to be the city gate, likely aiming to rest after charging, but Xie Li worried that the squad might not have enough stamina to reach the gate.

However, he quickly realized his worry was unwarranted, as the hundred-plus cavalry squad showed no signs of slowing down. Occasionally, a horse would fall, but nearby comrades would swiftly assist, pulling them onto their horse's back.

After another half-cup of tea's time, the entire Black Scarf Army was almost pierced through, with the cavalry squad less than three hundred zhang from the city gate.

"They're coming!" Xie Li clenched his fists.

Creek… the heavy gate slowly opened, and inside, numerous guards swarmed out, engaging the Black Scarf ahead in a bloody fight, creating opportunities for the cavalry squad's charge.

Xie Li exhaled deeply, at this point, there shouldn't be any unexpected incidents, and the cavalry squad should safely enter the city. Yet at this moment, his eyes widened in extreme astonishment, as if witnessing an unbelievable scene.

The adviser beside him was similarly frozen: "What are they… doing?"

In their vision, the cavalry squad charging directly toward the city gate unexpectedly swerved a hundred zhang from the gate in an arc and continued the assault on the other side, crushing through as relentlessly as before!

Weren't they going to enter the city? Are they still attacking?

"Incomprehensible, incomprehensible!" The adviser's mindset exploded instantly, how could there be such reckless men in this world?

Though their ability to pierce through the Black Scarf formation was truly awe-inspiring, how could such an offensive sustain? Thousand Streams even opened the gate proactively to greet them, yet they didn't glance at it and turned away.

This turn of events left Thousand Streams' defense vulnerable, as instant crises emerged.

Originally, the Black Scarf couldn't capture the city and could only sacrifice lives to fill in, but with the gate open, nearby Black Scarf troops immediately gathered like cats sensing fish, converging towards this area. Suddenly, the pressure on the East City Gate was immense, and despite the guards' desperate resistance, they retreated gradually, seemingly about to be breached by the Black Scarf.

Xie Li was already unable to focus on the cavalry squad anymore, issuing orders as guards were urgently redirected to the city gate, filling the gap. If the gate wasn't closed, this area would perpetually remain a weak point in defense.

Amid his overwhelming stress, his peripheral vision suddenly glimpsed the cavalry squad charging back!

Still, they were unstoppable, sweeping through, with no Black Scarf able to withstand them, all falling dead on the spot.

The cavalry squad charged past, leaving the area around the city gate suddenly empty. The guards who originally faced enormous pressure stared dazedly at the numerous corpses strewn before them, momentarily bewildered.

The cavalry squad didn't charge too far, but after a bout of assault, they turned in a big arc and came back this way, once again eradicating the incoming Black Scarf.

"Such a remarkable force…" Xie Li's lips quivered. He realized he had underestimated this cavalry squad's capabilities. The hundred-plus individuals exerted an impact on the battlefield beyond his imagination. Their actions were undoubtedly alleviating the pressure on the city gate, allowing time to close it back up.

"Close the gate!" Xie Li shouted angrily.

With the cavalry squad's repeated charges, the East City Gate was finally closed again. Only by then did the cavalry squad leave this battlefield, as if with no worries, continuing their previous rhythm of heedless assault.

"Young friend, the banner over there indicates the Black Scarf leader's position. Kill him, and we can win this battle!" Xie Li hurriedly shouted down to Lu Ye.

Indeed, the cavalry squad had slain many Black Scarf troops and thoroughly disrupted their formation, but as long as the Black Scarf leader remained alive, the battle would not end. Conversely, if the Black Scarf leader were killed, their army would immediately become dispersed like sand, allowing Thousand Streams to even open the gates to engage the enemy and settle the battle.

Given the power the cavalry squad had demonstrated, Xie Li felt confident they could complete this beheading mission and promptly provided the direction.

Because he discovered that although this cavalry squad was unparalleled in bravery, they didn't seem to notice that obvious command flag at all.

However, to Xie Li's frustration, even after his reminder, the other party still had no intention of complying, continuing to charge towards the most densely populated area of the Black Scarf.

This young man... Is he blind?

But the next moment, Xie Li's expression turned to astonishment because from beneath that command flag, a tall figure suddenly rode out on horseback, closely followed by a group of soldiers.

Xie Li hurriedly shouted again, "Young friend, be careful, the Black Scarf leader is coming for you."

Apparently, the opposing side had recognized the destructive power of the cavalry squad led by Lu Ye and decided to personally intervene. The Black Scarf leader was out of options. Since this cavalry appeared, countless Black Scarf soldiers had fallen at their hands. Initially, he was shocked by the power this cavalry displayed. The reason he waited until now was that he felt the time was right. After such intense fighting, how much more power could this cavalry squad exert?

In order to take down this cavalry squad in one move, the Black Scarf leader not only personally intervened but also brought his own personal guard. This was the most elite part of the entire Black Scarf, exceeding the cavalry squad in numbers by more than three times.

On horseback, leading the charge, Lu Ye blinked. Of course, he heard Xie Li's shouting, feeling rather helpless...

He had his own plans and did not wish to engage with the Black Scarf leader too early. Based on his limited past experiences, if he dealt with the Black Scarf leader, this trial would basically be over.

But he didn't wish to kill the enemy, yet couldn't stop the enemy from seeking their own death!

He paid slight attention to the position of the Black Scarf leader, an easy observation because the flag-bearer was by his side; the location of the flag-bearer marked the leader's position.

For the next hour, Lu Ye continuously led the cavalry to evade the personal guard led by the Black Scarf leader. This made Xie Li rather speechless, but in the eyes of the Black Scarf leader, there was no doubt it seemed like the opponent was showing weakness. However, the opponent's speed was too fast, slipping away like a loach, making several attempts to catch him fruitless.

In frustration, he glanced at his own flag-bearer and ordered the command flag to be concealed.

With this move, Lu Ye no longer knew where the Black Scarf leader was, and could only constantly change the cavalry squad's direction.

After one more incense stick's time, a striking armored and well-disciplined troop suddenly appeared in front, led by one with a tempting "ten thousand" character above their head...

Lu Ye sighed, still unable to avoid it.

There was nothing to be done, as the Black Scarf leader intentionally hid and targeted this cavalry squad, so they were bound to meet sooner or later.

"Brat, let's see where you run this time!" The Black Scarf leader nearly ground his teeth to bits, his face filled with rage looking at Lu Ye, as if he wanted to skin him alive.

As he spoke, he personally confronted Lu Ye, wielding a massive three-hundred-pound saber with an irresistible force.

Behind him, numerous personal guards also advanced in unison.

Spirit force surged, and Lu Ye immediately discerned that this guy had cultivation at the Spirit Stream Level 1, worthy of being the Black Scarf leader, someone valued at ten thousand Asura Seals, indeed different from ordinary soldiers.

After such prolonged intense combat, Lu Ye's spirit force and physical strength were greatly depleted. Facing this Black Scarf leader alone might indeed be troublesome, but unfortunately for him, Lu Ye wasn't alone.

Almost at the moment when the Black Scarf leader's attack fell, Lu Ye urged his spirit force, and in an instant, the shadow of a large turtle flashed and vanished.

The Black Scarf leader was momentarily stunned, thinking he was seeing things...

However, the next instant, his face drastically changed because a long spear from the adversary was thrust straight towards him, carrying a power he couldn't possibly resist, and causing his saber to tremble as his midsection lay exposed!

The spear tip rapidly magnified in his vision!

My life is over!

The Black Scarf leader felt a chill over his entire body, unable to believe that after maintaining such high-intensity combat, the opponent could still unleash such a terrifying killing move!

Just as the Black Scarf leader thought he was doomed, Lu Ye slightly tilted his spear downwards, piercing his collarbone.

Then he lifted him up and fiercely flung him far away, "Scram!"

Blood spattered as the Black Scarf leader, face full of shock, flew out and heavily crashed to the ground.

On the city gate tower, Xie Li's delighted gaze turned to astonishment, his eye twitching, "What... is he doing?"

He clearly saw during that moment of clash, Lu Ye obviously had the chance to kill the Black Scarf leader, but for some reason, he spared his life!

What could this mean? Xie Li was baffled.
