Felix Wu clasped his fists, “Generals, there’s no need for such formality. We are all soldiers of Great Wei, all allies. Protecting our homeland, defending our territory, and helping each other to kill the enemy is what we should do.”
“General, your righteousness is inspiring! We are enlightened!”
“By the way, where is His Majesty Shengwu King?”
A general from the General Who Guards the East’s army asked.
“Our general is leading the follow-up troops and is on his way. He will be here soon,” Sawyer Shangguan replied.
“Please handle these corpses. We will head east to help pursue the Da Li enemy.”
“Understood!”
The general from the General Who Guards the East’s army nodded.
Felix Wu and his men were all cavalry, fast and well-suited for pursuing the enemy.
After annihilating the Da Li enemies to the west of Tianmen Pass, Felix Wu and his men did not stop. They passed through the city of Tianmen Pass and headed east to chase the Da Li army.
The soldiers of the General Who Guards the East’s army in the city watched this terrifying cavalry force, thinking to themselves how fortunate it was that this was their own Great Wei army.
If this had been the enemy’s army, it would have been terrifying.
The iron-blooded cavalry, massive and imposing, fearless and awe-inspiring, deeply shocked the soldiers of the General Who Guards the East’s army.
Wen Renli, seeing his army being pursued, wanted to disengage from the battle and lead his troops in retreat.
“You scoundrel, you want to leave? Have you asked my axe?” Cheng Bufa swung his giant axe, slashing desperately at Wen Renli.
Gao Chongyuan also joined in, doing everything he could to block Wen Renli.
At this moment, the battlefield had reversed, and the scales of victory were tipping in their favor. Naturally, they wanted to hold back the Great Grandmaster experts of Da Li.
This would give their army the opportunity to pursue and kill the enemy.
“Shen Jianting, do you really want to fight to the death?” Zhang Jian roared in anger, a trace of fear rising in his heart.
Shen Jianting truly wanted to kill him; it wasn’t just talk.
“Kill!!”
Shen Jianting’s response was a punch.
A punch imbued with True Essence and blood energy, capable of shattering mountains and rivers, causing the air to explode.
“Boom!!”
Zhang Jian was sent flying by a punch, the gap between the two becoming more apparent as the battle dragged on.
Without Xu Rongchang’s assistance, Zhang Jian faced Shen Jianting alone and gradually began to lose.
“Shen Jianting, you forced me to do this.” Zhang Jian’s face turned vicious. His black iron armor was shattered, his battle robe in tatters, and his body covered in blood and scars.
Zhang Jian took out a red pill, a Blood Pill, which forcibly increased his blood energy and True Essence, enhancing his combat power.
Zhang Jian swallowed the Blood Pill in one gulp, his face contorted in pain as his blood energy and True Essence surged.
“Kill!!”
Zhang Jian swung his fist at Shen Jianting.
Shen Jianting’s expression remained cold, showing no fear despite Zhang Jian’s enhanced blood energy after taking the Blood Pill.
Boom!!
A punch was thrown, and the two fists collided, the terrifying force clashing like thunder.
The two fought fiercely, their fists and palms clashing, each trying desperately to kill the other.
The terrifying battle made many onlookers feel a sense of dread.
When Great Grandmasters at Great Perfection fought desperately, even a casual strike was incredibly terrifying.
The battle between the two gradually moved away from the skies above Tianmen Pass and into the depths of the mountains and forests.
From the distant mountains and forests beyond the pass, the sounds of earth-shaking clashes could be heard.
Outside Tianmen Pass, the sounds of battle cries still shook the heavens.
The Da Li army was retreating, while the General Who Guards the East’s army and the River West cavalry fiercely pursued, fighting to the death.
Everywhere, Innate experts and Grandmasters were engaged in fierce battles.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were chasing after Da Li’s army of over three hundred thousand.
Under the relentless charge of Felix Wu and his iron cavalry, Da Li soldiers fell into pools of blood one after another.
The ferocious cavalry, swift and unstoppable, cut down tens of thousands of Da Li soldiers in a single charge.
Oliver Sheng’s Kill Points were continuously increasing. He knew that Felix Wu was currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Da Li army.
Seeing his Kill Points increase by nearly two hundred thousand, Oliver felt that the resources spent on training the army were well worth it.
Sitting still, his Kill Points kept rising.
Unknowingly, his Kill Points had increased to over nine hundred thousand.
Oliver Sheng led the heavy cavalry, Harrison Zhou’s unit, and the Barbarian slave soldiers and auxiliary troops, continuing southward at a steady pace.
The battle at Tianmen Pass ended with the Da Li soldiers retreating to Shulie City.
Before attacking Tianmen Pass, Da Li had mobilized seven hundred thousand troops, but the result was a disastrous defeat. In the end, only one hundred fifty thousand remained.
The defeat was so devastating that countless Da Li soldiers fled back to Shulie City, their expressions filled with fear, completely losing their will to fight.
Zhang Jian ultimately survived Shen Jianting’s assault but lost an arm and a leg, his aura weak and his injuries severe.
Returning to Shulie City, Zhang Jian looked at the remaining troops, his heart bleeding.
It was over. His path, his future, all gone.
The severe injuries had shattered his hope of breaking through to Martial Saint. His Da Li General Who Guards the West’s army was now reduced to a ragtag remnant.
Out of seven hundred thousand troops, only one hundred fifty to sixty thousand remained, with over five hundred thousand dead. What a catastrophic defeat.
His position as Marquis was also at its end.
The best outcome would be to be confined to the Da Li imperial city until he died of old age.
“General!!”
“Marquis!!”
The surviving generals looked at Zhang Jian, their expressions filled with sorrow.
“Sigh!”
“Such is fate,” Zhang Jian sighed.
Who could have expected that the Shengwu King’s subordinates would arrive so quickly, bringing a sword talisman capable of killing a Great Grandmaster, instantly slaying Xu Rongchang and annihilating his three hundred thousand troops.
This led to the rapid collapse and disintegration of the battle.
“Send a message to the imperial court. Our army has suffered a great defeat. The Shengwu King of Great Wei has intervened in the war and may counterattack our dynasty. Let His Majesty quickly dispatch experts to support us,” Zhang Jian ordered.
Now severely injured, he no longer had the strength to fight.
Experts were urgently needed to stabilize the army and the situation.
“Yes, General!!”
Wen Renli looked at Zhang Jian’s condition and couldn’t help but frown.
“Marquis Zhang, your injuries!!”
Zhang Jian forced a bitter smile, “Who knew that madman Shen would really fight me to the death? But Shen Jianting is also seriously injured. As long as the Shengwu King of Great Wei hasn’t arrived, we are temporarily safe.”
With an arm severed and a leg crippled, after taking the Blood Pill, Zhang Jian’s hair had turned white.
His Martial Arts foundation had been completely destroyed by Shen Jianting.
……
Shen Jianting, dragging his heavily injured body, returned to Tianmen Pass.
Although not fatal, his injuries would take at least a few months to heal.
“Father, are you alright?” Shen Liang’s armor was also covered in knife marks and bloodstains.
Seeing his father covered in wounds, his eyes were filled with worry.
“Marquis!!”
“General!”
The generals of the General Who Guards the East’s army looked at Shen Jianting with concern.
Shen Jianting forced a smile and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry, just some minor injuries.”
He turned his gaze to Felix Wu and the others.
“Shen Jianting thanks the generals for your support. The General Who Guards the East’s army is deeply grateful,” Shen Jianting said solemnly, clasping his fists.
“Marquis Shen, you are too kind!” Felix Wu and the others quickly clasped their fists in return.
“If it weren’t for your timely arrival to reinforce the General Who Guards the East’s army, we might not have been able to hold Tianmen Pass today,” Shen Jianting said with a hint of lingering fear.
If Tianmen Pass had fallen, not only would they have lost the pass, but his General Who Guards the East’s army would have suffered heavy casualties.
Fortunately, Felix Wu and the others arrived in time, bringing the Shengwu King’s trump card, which instantly killed Xu Rongchang.
Otherwise, Shen Jianting dared not imagine the consequences.
He hadn’t expected Xu Rongchang to shamelessly and unscrupulously attack ordinary soldiers.
