My Antique Mirror Is A Portal To Another World

Scolded by the other soldier, the first soldier quickly covered his mouth and looked around. Seeing no one, he let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest.

"Huff… Luckily, no one is here."

Just as his words fell, Fan Wanming stepped out of hiding and ordered, "Arrest them all!"

The Yuezhi Tribe soldiers froze in shock at the sudden appearance of Fan Wanming and the Feng Army's elite soldiers.

A second later, one of them came back to his senses and shouted, "Run!"

Besieged by the elite soldiers, the Yuezhi Tribe soldiers had no choice but to rush into the secret passage.

Seeing this, Fan Wanming raised his hand, and the elite soldiers stopped their pursuit.

To convince the enemy they were being chased, Fan Wanming stood outside the secret passage and shouted into the dark tunnel, "Chase them! Don't let them escape!"

His voice echoed through the tunnel, nearly scaring the Yuezhi Tribe soldiers out of their wits. Afraid to be caught by Fan Wanming and his men, they sped up in panic.

Fan Wanming waited outside until they were far enough away before calmly ordering, "Seal the entrance."

Following his command, the elite soldiers pushed the huge stone boulder they had prepared in advance.

As they worked, Xue Ruhong arrived. Seeing them sealing the secret passage, he asked, "General Fan, have the enemy soldiers entered?"

Fan Wanming nodded. "Thanks to General Xue's efforts, all of them are inside now."

At that moment, an elite soldier lit a torch and looked at Fan Wanming. "General Fan, we are ready."

Taking the torch from him, Fan Wanming ordered, "Leave this area."

The moment his words fell, the elite soldiers retreated to a safe distance, leaving only Xue Ruhong behind.

Looking at him, Fan Wanming said, "General Xue, let's begin."

Xue Ruhong nodded, then walked to the huge stone boulder. Placing his palms against it, he circulated his internal energy and said, "General Fan, I'm ready."

Hearing this, Fan Wanming gathered his internal energy, activated his lightness skill, and a moment later threw the torch into the secret passage.

The instant he did, Xue Ruhong pushed the huge stone boulder forward, completely sealing the entrance.

As soon as the entrance was sealed, both generals withdrew and rushed away at top speed.

Inside the secret passage, the torch clattered to the ground. The instant the flames touched the kerosene and oil smeared along the walls and ground, fire erupted fiercely.

Whoosh~!

As the temperature rose, the fire spread rapidly and soon ignited the fuses of the mud tubes hidden by Tan Pengtai's team.

A few seconds later, the mud tubes exploded.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fire surged stronger, and more mud tubes went off, shaking the ground violently.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the middle section of the secret passage, Kai Mu and his men were thrown into panic as the ground beneath them shook.

Steadying himself against the wall, Kai Mu shouted in shock, "What's happening?!"

The captain behind him shook his head anxiously. "Supreme General, could it be the earth dragon turning?"

Hearing this, Kai Mu's face paled. "Not good! Leave this place immediately!"

The instant he spoke, the soldiers turned and rushed toward the exit.

However, the fire spread with terrifying speed, and the mud tubes continued exploding one after another in their direction.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Running for their lives, the Yuezhi Tribe soldiers who were coming from the city looked back in horror at the roaring fire chasing them. Before they could react, the mud tubes hidden nearby detonated, blasting them to pieces.

Boom! Boom!

Within seconds, the fire reached the middle section of the passage.

Feeling the scorching heat behind him, Kai Mu turned and was horrified to see the raging fire. Snapping back to his senses, he roared, "Run!"

But just as the words left his mouth, the wall cracked, and in the next instant, the stone shattered under the extreme heat.

Crack! Boom!

Instantly, countless sharp fragments exploded in all directions.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Ugh!"

Struck in the stomach by sharp stone debris, Kai Mu staggered. Leaning on the hot wall, he gritted his teeth and tried to run. But before he could take a step, the mud tubes around him exploded.

Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued, and the secret passage collapsed.

Crash!

Looking up, the remaining Yuezhi Tribe soldiers screamed in horror.

"Ah!"

"No!!"

Outside the secret passage, Zhan Qi and the others felt the ground trembling beneath their feet.

Looking toward the secret passage, Zhan Qi saw dust clouds in the distance. After a while, the tremors subsided.

Turning to his men, Zhan Qi ordered, "Let's go."

Following him, Mo Yuan and the others returned to the outer entrance of the secret passage.

Arriving there, they saw the huge stone boulder shattered into pieces.

Dismounting his horse, Zhan Qi approached the entrance. Seeing the cracked ground and the collapsed secret passage, he said, "Brothers, let's return to the barracks."

"Yes, General Zhan."

While Zhan Qi, Mo Yuan, and the soldiers returned to Xiqiang City, Fan Wanming and Xue Ruhong had also come back to inspect the secret passage.

Looking at the ruins, Xue Ruhong said, "They should be dead by now."

Fan Wanming stepped forward and touched the debris. Feeling the heat still radiating from within, he said, "There is still residual heat inside."

Then he turned to Xue Ruhong and added, "General Xue, I will station a few soldiers here in case the fire spreads from the secret passage. If it does, we could respond immediately to contain it."

Agreeing with him, Xue Ruhong nodded. "Then I will return and report to the Great General."

"Alright."

With their tasks divided, Fan Wanming went to summon soldiers while Xue Ruhong returned to the Feng Army barracks.

When Xue Ruhong arrived at the barracks, he met Zhan Qi and the others at the main entrance.

Unmounting his war horse, Zhan Qi walked up to Xue Ruhong while asking, "General Xue, how is the situation at the other end of the secret passage?"
