The group of Noble Family Guards standing watch before the city gate stared in utter horror.

They watched as Han Yuan, suspended in midair, unleashed a long streak of light from his saber, severing Li Guang’s head and sending it flying.

Blood mixed with the heavy rain, spattering across the faces of the crowd.

Bai Chengdun, however, tried to seize the opportunity. He charged forward recklessly, wildly swinging his great hammer.

Han Yuan, just then landing from the air, could only raise his Iron Mountain Saber to block.

CLANG~~

The sound was like the booming toll of a great temple bell.

The hammer blow sent Han Yuan staggering back several meters. When he finally stopped, his feet had gouged a large crater in the ground.

Seeing this, Bai Chengdun grew even more excited, and the great hammer in his hands struck out again like a meteor.

"Come on!"

Han Yuan roared, his Iron Mountain Saber kicking up a massive wave of air as he slashed forward.

This time, with his feet planted firmly on the ground, his brute strength erupted without restraint!

His peerless Qi Power surged through the Iron Mountain Saber as he brought it down, smashing violently against the great hammer!

CLANG!

Bai Chengdun felt a violent tremor run up his arms. His eyes went bloodshot as he was forced back several steps.

"How can this be!"

’I never expected Han Yuan’s Qi Power to be this terrifying!’ he thought, horrified.

Han Yuan’s expression was like ice as he continued his assault, swinging the Iron Mountain Saber at Bai Chengdun.

Eight Extremes·Water-Splitting Slash!

Bai Chengdun endured the searing pain of his muscles and bones tearing in his arms and swung his great hammer to meet the attack.

CLANG CLANG CLANG~~~~

The two exchanged more than a dozen blows in rapid succession.

The Iron Mountain Saber, wreathed in a cold mist, battered Bai Chengdun like a surging wave.

More and more of the misty rain was drawn in and gathered by the Iron Mountain Saber.

Once it reached some kind of limit, Han Yuan unleashed a slash.

A horrifying scene unfolded.

An illusory torrent of water seemed to materialize in midair, crashing violently toward Bai Chengdun.

After weathering more than ten strikes, Bai Chengdun finally could not hold on any longer.

PSHHHT~~~

An excruciating pain erupted from his chest.

The Iron Mountain Saber had viciously pierced through his torso.

"The... the Patriarch... will kill you for this."

Bai Chengdun sank weakly to his knees, his eyes filled with venom as he glared at Han Yuan.

"Bai Muxin?"

"He’s the next one I’ll cut down!"

Han Yuan said coolly.

SHLICK!

With a single motion, like an executioner beheading a criminal, he brought his saber down and lopped off Bai Chengdun’s head.

An enraged roar echoed from the distance!

"HAN YUAN!!! YOU DESERVE TO DIE!!!"

「Not far away.」

Bai Muxin was rapidly falling back with three True Qi masters.

No one had ever imagined that Han Yuan would disguise himself as a County Soldier and hide among the main troops.

Moreover, his strength had reached such a terrifying level. Even if there was an element of surprise, the fact that he had killed four True Qi masters was undeniable.

As Bai Muxin was retreating, he had even witnessed Han Yuan beheading Bai Chengdun with his own eyes.

This, naturally, sent him into a towering rage, a firestorm of fury surging in his chest!

"Bai Muxin!"

"Tonight, I’ll cut you down, you old beast!"

Han Yuan raised his Iron Mountain Saber and charged toward Bai Muxin like a shooting star!

"KILL!!!"

"KILL!!!"

At that moment, the County Soldiers also began to clash with the Noble Family Guards defending the gate!

The skills of the Noble Family Guards were naturally a cut above those of ordinary County Soldiers.

But when it came to organized battle, the County Soldiers’ coordination was clearly superior. They advanced and retreated in an orderly fashion and didn’t fall into disarray over a few casualties.

The Noble Family Guards, on the other hand, began to fight for themselves the moment casualties appeared, and their formation quickly fell apart.

「Meanwhile.」

"You old beast!"

"Die!"

Han Yuan roared as his Qi Power erupted. His figure flashed forward, unleashing a terrifying streak of saber light.

BOOM!

The friction between the blade and the air actually produced a sound like rolling thunder.

Eight Extremes·Thunderstorm Slash!

This strike was too fast, too explosive!

Even Bai Muxin hadn’t anticipated Han Yuan’s explosive power to be so astonishing.

His face twisted into a snarl as he swung his Golden Melon Great Hammer, bringing it crashing down with the force of a heavy gale.

CLANG~~~~

Bai Muxin was driven back five or six steps by Han Yuan’s strike!

But the old beast just roared, "Kill him!"

In an instant, the three True Qi masters all swung their various weapons, rushing to kill Han Yuan.

Han Yuan’s expression was savage, his black hair whipping wildly. Facing the combined assault of three True Qi masters, he showed no signs of retreat, swinging his Iron Mountain Saber to meet them in a deadly dance!

CLANG CLANG CLANG~~~

He fought one against three, yet his momentum only grew stronger. Like a harbinger of death, he unleashed one vicious slash after another, actually managing to suppress the three True Qi masters.

Bai Muxin watched, his heart pounding with fear.

He never thought Han Yuan’s strength would be this terrifying.

’This man absolutely cannot be left alive!’

He immediately swung his great hammer and joined the fray, aiming a crushing blow right at Han Yuan’s head.

After forcing back the Cui Family elder with a slash, Han Yuan saw the great hammer descending upon him. He grinned and thrust out with his left hand—the Giant Spirit Monument-Opening Hand!

BANG!

Bai Muxin’s arms trembled violently, but he managed to withstand the brute force, not retreating a single step.

"The old beast has some strength after all!"

Han Yuan said with a grin.

"Little beast, let’s see how long you can keep smiling!"

Bai Muxin’s face was contorted with rage. He channeled the qi and blood in his body and swung his hammer once more.

The other three True Qi Martial Artists coordinated with Bai Muxin, attacking with the intent to kill Han Yuan.

This time, facing four True Qi masters, including a True Qi Perfection expert like Bai Muxin, Han Yuan finally felt the pressure.

No matter how immense his Qi Power was, he couldn’t fend off a four-on-one assault.

If it weren’t for his Copper Skin and Iron Bones, which negated much of the damage, he would have likely been gravely injured by now.

Meanwhile, Li Jin was locked in a fierce struggle with Cui Jiushan.

The two were evenly matched, so it was difficult to determine a quick victor.

However, when Li Jin saw that Han Yuan was losing ground under the assault of four True Qi masters, he wanted to break away from Cui Jiushan to support Han Yuan and relieve some of the pressure on him.

But Cui Jiushan seemed to sense Li Jin’s intentions and relentlessly thrust out with his Vajra Finger.

SWISH SWISH SWISH~~

The air filled with a dense shower of razor-sharp golden light.

The pressure on Li Jin increased dramatically, and he could only swing his twin spears to continuously parry the attacks.

"General Li, as long as I’m here, you’re not going anywhere,"

Cui Jiushan sneered.

"Cui Jiushan... so what if you can keep me occupied?"

"It seems you’ve forgotten about someone else,"

Li Jin said suddenly.

"Who else?"

Cui Jiushan was taken aback.

"Lord Han, I’m here to help you!"

Just then, a great shout came from the top of the city wall.

A middle-aged man with a hawk nose, dressed in a dark black uniform, appeared on the battlements.

It was none other than the Chief Constable of the Government Office, Zhao Junshan!

He leaped from the city wall, soaring down to support Han Yuan.

His appearance had clearly shattered Cui Jiushan and Bai Muxin’s careful calculations.

"Zhao Junshan, stay out of this tonight! If you do, I’ll pretend none of this ever happened!"

Bai Muxin yelled.

He hadn’t expected Zhao Junshan, who had been holed up in the Government Office recently, to get involved.

"Bai Muxin, surrender without a fight, and I can guarantee you’ll live."

Zhao Junshan was already upon them as he responded, drawing the long saber from his waist.

SWISH~!

The light from his slash was exceptionally vicious and chilling, cutting directly toward two of the True Qi Martial Artists.

The two True Qi Martial Artists were terrified. Not daring to be careless, they could only move to counter his attack.

In an instant, only Bai Muxin and the Cui Family elder were left to face Han Yuan.
