After a while, the city gate opened again, and Old Mu led a group of dozens of light cavalry out, heading straight for the battlefield.
Old Mu brought his men to the foot of the city wall, where they lined up in formation, ready to face the enemy. Although they were few in number, their momentum was not weak.
Upon seeing Old Mu, Guan Fei blinked and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Hmm? Is there something wrong? Has Qinghe City run out of people? They sent a nobody like you to face me."
Old Mu was not wearing general-level armor but rather ordinary soldier's armor, making him appear just like a regular soldier at first glance.
Old Mu's expression was calm, and his breathing steady. He did not directly respond to Guan Fei's words but simply raised his spear as a reply. His silence felt eerie to those watching.
"You people are too arrogant; you don't even regard me, Guan Fei. Since that's the case, I won't hold back. I will introduce myself." Guan Fei felt slighted and spoke with a hint of anger in his tone.
"Introduce yourself? What name?" Old Mu murmured to himself. He only remembered that he was called Old Mu; he had long forgotten his real name.
"Hmm? How infuriating! You won't even give your name? You really are overconfident!" Guan Fei's anger flared up; Old Mu's refusal to acknowledge him completely disregarded the rules of the battlefield, further fueling his feeling of being underestimated.
"Yellow-haired kid, watch my axe!" Guan Fei shouted as he squeezed his legs against his horse's belly and charged forward like a bolt of lightning.
Old Mu remained composed as he watched Guan Fei rush at him. Quick as lightning, he raised his spear to block when he saw the axe coming down.
Guan Fei swung the axe with intense fury, using all his strength—around four to five hundred pounds—and struck down hard enough to shatter Old Mu's spear.
Seeing this, Old Mu quickly dodged to the side on his horse, avoiding Guan Fei's axe. The horse he was riding got startled, rearing up on its front legs and snorting loudly.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was stunned. Lei Kai and others were shocked by Old Mu's quick reaction that allowed him to escape such a dangerous situation, while Lu Chen simply smiled without saying a word.
Yue Shaoting saw Old Mu's weapon get shattered and let out a light snort before removing his Moon King's Blade and throwing it down from the city wall.
"Look at the blade," Yue Shaoting said, and two slender Moon King's Blades fell straight down.
Old Mu's ears twitched as he caught Yue Shaoting's voice. In an instant, he moved with a strange serpentine step, winding his way forward and darting under the city wall to catch the Moon King's Blades. He then flashed back and resumed his position on horseback.
Guan Fei, who had just severed Old Mu's spear, was feeling quite pleased with himself. Now seeing Old Mu wielding two Dual Blades, he disdainfully blinked. If a spear was no match for him, how could two blades be any better? It was merely self-humiliation.
The two Great Axes in Guan Fei's hands were forged from fine iron; with a light chop, they could easily cleave through ordinary swords and knives, making them incredibly powerful.
The Loyalty Army behind Guan Fei, witnessing him break Old Mu's spear, felt their morale surge, and the sound of war drums immediately filled the air.
Luo Yi himself coldly smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting, showing his understanding of Guan Fei's strength. In battle, there was essentially no one who could rival Guan Fei because he was an experienced veteran; even if he couldn't win, he could easily retreat.
With weapons in hand again, Old Mu squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and returned to the fray. He exchanged a glance with Guan Fei before both sides charged at each other once more.
Guan Fei raised both Great Axes high and struck down simultaneously. He didn't need to hold the reins; the horse knew how to maneuver during combat. As long as Guan Fei kept his legs tightly clamped around the horse's belly, he wouldn't fall off and remained as steady as a mountain.
On Old Mu's side, however, he was at a disadvantage; he wasn't particularly skilled in mounted combat and lacked coordination with his horse.
Seeing Guan Fei swing his axe down, Old Mu also raised his Dual Blades high and met the attack head-on. The impact between the axe and the Dual Blades produced a dull thud that was quite jarring.
Instead of advancing, Old Mu retreated slightly while forcefully pressing up with his Dual Blades. The blades in his hands gleamed with a dark luster; not only did they not suffer any damage from the axe strike, but they also managed to create a crack in the axe itself.
These Dual Blades were personally worn by Yue Shaoting and were made from pure tungsten steel alloy, capable of cutting through iron like mud and severing hair with ease.
Moreover, despite Old Mu's slender frame, he was able to lift the Dual Blades and push back against Guan Fei, who wielded the heavy axe.
Suddenly, both of them withdrew their weapons and began a frenzied close combat. Old Mu's Dual Blades were wielded with incredible agility, resembling a courtesan in a brothel, skillfully maneuvering the red blades up and down with such speed that it was hard to see their trajectory.
On the other hand, Guan Fei's battle axe was extremely heavy, making it difficult for him to swing it more than a few times. After just two moves, he could only use the axe to block, falling into a passive state with no ability to counterattack.
Seeing this situation, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe that Old Mu, an unassuming person with no presence, possessed such formidable combat strength, resembling a high-level Qi Master.
Suddenly, Old Mu's two Dual Blades locked together at the handles, forming a long spear. He began using the Dual Blades as a spear, thrusting left and right with remarkable agility.
After just twenty or so moves, Guan Fei's speed began to slow down. Old Mu feigned an attack as if he were going to strike at Guan Fei's lower body. In response, Guan Fei quickly lowered his axe to protect himself.
Old Mu let out a cold snort. With a fierce bite of his Steel Tooth, he yanked back his Dual Blades. The long spear split apart into two blades again; with his left hand, he thrust forward sharply, piercing deep into Guan Fei's neck, blood spraying out.
Old Mu rode forward and made another slash with his right hand. With a slicing sound, he severed Guan Fei's head.
In the blink of an eye, the battle had changed. Guan Fei's headless corpse remained mounted on the horse, its legs tightly gripping the horse's belly.
However, his head had already fallen five steps away, eyes wide open in a pitiful gaze, unable to close even in death.
"Such an impressive general! Truly remarkable talents gather around Gate General; I am in awe. I, Lei Kai, am utterly impressed."
Lei Kai laughed heartily and spoke to Lu Chen beside him. After losing two matches in a row, they finally secured a victory.
The soldiers on the city wall were also very pleased; having won a match boosted their morale significantly as they cheered loudly.
Luo Yi suddenly sat up from his chair and looked at Guan Fei's slowly collapsing body on the ground. His heart bled; the general he had personally nurtured was gone, reduced to a headless corpse. He was instantly filled with immense anger.
"What? Who is that guy, Guan Fei? How dare he kill my beloved general?" Luo Yi was furious. The invincible Guan Fei had actually been killed in battle.
"Come here! Whoever can bring me the head of this man will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver. I will generously reward them," Guan Fei shouted loudly.
Old Mu had killed Guan Fei, and he was enraged. He immediately offered a reward of three hundred taels of silver for anyone who could slay Old Mu.
With a heavy reward, there would surely be brave men willing to fight. Soon, a strong man in his thirties wielding a Meteor Hammer shouted and charged into the fray, attacking Old Mu.
"Yu Fei! Yu Fei! Good! General Yu Fei is willing to fight and will take this man's head. Immediately, three hundred taels of silver will be awarded," Luo Yi and the other commanders shouted in unison.
Yu Fei swung his Meteor Hammer, fiercely spurring his horse forward, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the front lines.
"Yu Fei has come to test your skills," Yu Fei shouted, then hurled the Meteor Hammer from his hand. The chain writhed through the air like lightning, producing a sharp "ding ding ding" sound.
The Meteor Hammer traced an arc in the air and smashed down towards Old Mu.
Seeing the fierce attack coming, Old Mu did not take it head-on; he quickly spurred his horse to dodge aside effortlessly.
Just as Old Mu regained his footing, he heard a noise beside him. The Meteor Hammer was already flying horizontally towards him, making a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound in the air, its momentum quite intimidating.
Old Mu had no time to retreat; he raised his Dual Blades high to meet the attack. Suddenly, the long blades clashed with the Meteor Hammer, and he felt a jolt in his arms as if he had been struck. That blow carried at least two or three hundred pounds of force, and the Meteor Hammer was extremely difficult to control.
When the long blades collided with the Meteor Hammer, sparks erupted like fireworks on the mountainside.
Old Mu was knocked back two steps and nearly fell off his horse. Fortunately, his foundational skills were solid; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Old Mu took a deep breath, then merged his Dual Blades and swung them forcefully forward.
The long blades whirled through the air, initially not aimed at Yu Fei, but in the blink of an eye, they severed Yu Fei's head, blood gushing out in a spray.
After cutting off Yu Fei's head, the Dual Blades spun back to Old Mu's hands, completely unharmed.
Instantly, everyone gasped in shock. What kind of strange technique was this? Everyone was left in a state of astonishment.
Yu Fei, who seemed fierce while holding the Meteor Hammer, didn't even get a single move in before being slain by Old Mu's Dual Blades.
Only Lu Chen laughed heartily, his face filled with confidence; he knew very well how formidable Old Mu's strength was.
At this moment, Old Mu stood alone beneath the long spear, calm and composed. Despite his slender frame, his aura and two consecutive victories left the opposing Loyalty Army of tens of thousands feeling helpless.
"Capture this man and reward five hundred taels of silver," Luo Yi pointed at Old Mu, his face full of anger. Nothing was more frustrating than this situation.
Two consecutive defeats had severely impacted his army's morale, and the consequences were dire.
