Lord Shenxiu

"Once the cannons fire, the traditional siege methods of Daqian Nine Provinces should all be declared obsolete."

Atop the city wall, as a cannon shot was about to strike, Mu Yuanliu sighed, lifting his sword and slashing down.

A white streak directly split the high-speed cannonball, causing it to explode midair.

This Sect Master of the Tianyuan Sect, a Martial Artist of the Vajra Unbreakable Realm, was evidently unharmed by the cannon.

"Defending is merely taking hits passively; those ragtag troops will probably collapse immediately after enduring several rounds of cannon fire..."

Hiding in his cloak, Jamie shook his head, "Mu, I suggest you directly order your Red Ear Army to attack. We will coordinate with you."

"Send the order down, prepare to advance!"

Mu Yuanliu took a deep breath and jumped off the city wall.

Before the allied forces of the Daxia Alliance had approached, three thousand Red Ear Elite Soldiers had already formed their ranks outside the city.

Furthermore, guarded by several Third and Fourth Grade Martial Artists, their formation remained undisturbed by the cannon fire.

Boom! Boom!

The war drums sounded, and the Red-Ear Soldiers roared, utilizing a Secret Technique, their ears turning red like iron-clad fortresses speeding towards the enemy ranks!

"Command, Black Tiger Army, move out!"

Shen Mo, now surrounded by a group of advisory staff, calmly gave the order, "This battle will be the moment for our Daxia Alliance's Black Tiger Army to become renowned worldwide!"

He knew too well that his support troops, although not disorganized, were at best well-trained, and would likely get slaughtered if the enemy reached them up close!

Tens of thousands of muskets firing was formidable, but the enemy had Third-grade Martial Artists.

Mere lead bullets could not breach their defenses, possibly even influenced directly by Martial Spirit.

In the Xuanming Sky, only an army of Martial Artists could contend against another army of Martial Artists!

"Hmph, while Mu Yuanliu's three thousand Red Ear soldiers are formidable, if we disregard the cost, our twenty-five thousand musketeers could also inflict heavy casualties—but why should both sides suffer?"

Shen Mo chuckled softly, watching as five thousand Black Tiger players clad in armor more robust and lighter than their adversaries stepped forward.

This was the masterpiece of metallurgical experts and engineers deployed by the Da Xia Empire, a victory of technology.

These Black Tiger Army players were all at least Seventh-grade Martial Artists!

Squad leaders were Sixth Grade, company commanders Fifth Grade, deputy generals Fourth Grade, and the commander, 'Jiang Tianjue', was even a Third-grade Martial Artist of the Vajra Unbreakable Realm!

Armed with refined weapons and fully equipped, fearless in death, and disciplined.

"This battle will see our Da Xia triumphant."

Jiang Tianjue laughed loudly and commanded, "Charge!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Five thousand Martial Artists of Seventh Grade and above bellowed loudly, clashing with the Red Ear Elite Soldiers.

Puff! Puff!

In an instant, flesh flew and blood splattered, a gruesome sight to behold.

Most of the casualties were Red Ear Elite Soldiers, grounded in Ninth Grade; even though they used Secret Techniques, they only matched the power of Eighth Grade.

While on the opposing side, even the lowest soldier was Seventh Grade!

"No!"

Tu Qianqiu, her hair disheveled and outward spirit transformed into a mountainous form, made the opposing troops momentarily flinch.

Then, she swept her sword, severing the waists of more than a dozen Black Tiger soldiers.

"Tu Qianqiu!"

"You've finally shown yourself!"

"Leave her to me! No one interfere!"

The internal testers grew excited, and in a flash, several figures rushed into the battlefield.

Simultaneously, around them, thunder and lightning, frost and dew, axes and hooks...various Martial Spirit phenomena appeared, evidently all Martial Artists of at least Fourth Grade or below!

"You..."

Tu Qianqiu's eyes widened in shock, recognizing these people as the familiar faces from her earlier massacre at the Newbie Valley, astounded: "You are all Fourth Grade now?"

"Ha ha, after all this time, Old Tu, you still are a Fourth-Grade Martial Artist, practically wasting your life like a dog."

'Fight till death if you don't die' yelled out loud, taking the lead to strike with a fist strike that smashed onto Tu Qianqiu's sword blade.

"Don't steal kills!"

"This is our common grudge!"

One by one Martial Arts experts and Sword Masters instantaneously entered the battlefield, leaving Tu Qianqiu utterly desperate, "Sect Master... your subordinate... goes first!"

"So... together?"

"Of course, together!"

Numerous beta-test players quickly reached an agreement, and the next instant.

Flying Sword Magic, Fist Strike Sword Qi... various Martial Arts and Dao Skills transformed into torrents, nearly drowning Tu Qianqiu.

The players who had been bullied by her, at least two hundred of them.

And these two hundred players, now at the very least each one was a Fifth Grade!

Even, there were several Third Graders leading the group.

Being struck by so many attacks, even Mu Yuanliu had only the path of death.

Boom!

From the sky, as if a blood rain had fallen, Tu Qianqiu exploded into pieces at the first moment, dying a tragic and unbearable death.

"Is this revenge? It feels somewhat hollow..."

Liu Fang wiped the blood from his face, passed through the defeated ranks of the Red-Ear Army, displayed Qinggong, and arrived above Cangyuan County City in a leap.

"Kill the enemy!"

Several Tianyuan Sect disciples roared as they charged over.

"Big Wood!"

Liu Fang grinned sinisterly, he was 'Fight till death if you don't die,' as bad-tempered as ever, "The way Tu Qianqiu slaughtered us back then, I will slaughter Tianyuan Sect in the same way... I will leave no one alive in Tianyuan Sect!"

While talking, Martial Arts phenomena appeared around him, showing he had reached the realm just below Fourth Grade.

Just flicking his fingers as a sword, a Sword Qi flew out, piercing through those disciples with a grade up to Sixth.

Players facing Martial Artists of the same grade mostly mean certain death, hence they especially enjoyed bullying the weak.

This kind of max-level account bullying a newbie area, is the type of battle players enjoy the most.

Liu Fang casually massacred this section of the city wall, and was just about to leave when he suddenly smiled, waved his hand, and struck with a palm.

Puff!

A wooden door shattered, revealing a trembling figure behind it.

"Eh? Is that you... Feiling?"

Liu Fang laughed out loud, shouting towards the battlefield, "Martial Artist Lin Fan, your woman is here! I'm off now, no need to thank me!"

His figure shifted, and he had already rushed into another section of the city wall.

Meanwhile, following Shen Mo's order, Jiang Tianjue had led the Black Tiger Army to the base of the city wall.

Those Seventh Grade Martial Artists didn't even need to break down the gates; they simply grabbed the wall, lightly borrowed strength, and climbed up, turning the battle atop the city into a river of blood.

Among them, a few who were clearly public test players had entirely lost their minds in the fight, seeing Feiling, a timid girl there, they roared and charged towards her.

"Master... your disciple will soon come down to join you."

Feiling was absolutely devoted to Tu Qianqiu, who had avenged her and taught her Martial Arts, like family.

Even when her lover Lin Fan 'defected,' she didn't leave the Tianyuan Sect, standing now against the Daxia Alliance.

But this girl's Martial Arts were truly weak, only at a Sixth Grade realm; after a few moves, her long sword was knocked away, leaving her to close her eyes and wait for death.

A player was about to step forward when he was suddenly sent flying.

Feiling opened her eyes to see a figure in green standing exceptionally on the city wall, her eyes involuntarily reddening.

"You are... the old player... 'Martial Artist' Lin Fan?"

Another Black Tiger Army public test player sneered, "Getting romantic with an NPC, sorry, a person from another world? What are you trying to do? Defect?"
