Ye Yang murmured, "I thought I was unique..."
Yun Xiaoxi glanced at him and smiled lightly, "You're not the only one whose Bloodline has awakened. This Peng Yue should be even stronger, right? He is a Fire God Warrior from the Stellar Realm, much stronger than you..."
Ye Yang widened his eyes but said nothing further.
...
Zhang Tianhe showed unprecedented excitement at Peng Yue's arrival. As a descendant of Beast God Valley, Zhang Tianhe had an inherent combative spirit. Being good friends with Ye Yang, their usual competitions were just for fun, but now that a Fire God Warrior from the Stellar Realm had come, how could he not be thrilled?
After lunch, Ye Yang decisively returned to his residence, remaining silent all the way. Once back, he immediately summoned Wang Lie and dispatched over ten swift scouts to the north for reconnaissance. It was crucial to grasp Peng Yue's army's movements at the earliest opportunity; Liang City would never engage in a battle without certainty.
In the courtyard of the residence, four soldiers clad in black armor stood in a row. These were commanders promoted by Ye Yang after incorporating Liang City's garrison. Each of them possessed Earth Level Five strength and were considered elite among soldiers. They also held considerable prestige within the military and were relatively loyal to Ye Yang.
"My lord, according to reports, the Wei Army has around 5,500 troops and will arrive outside Liang City by tomorrow evening. What should we do?" one commander said solemnly.
Ye Yang took a deep breath, leaning against the table as he replied quietly, "Strengthen the city defenses. Increase patrols day and night without any slackening. Also, prepare meals early tomorrow noon; have those Firehead Army soldiers ready with enough beef. Everyone should bring a day's worth of rations and water bags to prepare for an ambush on the Wei Army outside the city."
"Huh?"
Another commander was taken aback and couldn't help but say, "My lord, Peng Yue leads an armored elite force; they are fierce warriors with numbers at least three times ours. If we rashly go out to meet them, we might all perish outside the city!"
Ye Yang smiled slightly, "That's right. The garrison of Liang City plus my subordinates totals less than 2,000 men, with many of them having uneven combat capabilities. If we hold out in Liang City, we might find ourselves with no place to bury our dead. We are facing an unavoidable battle now; prepare immediately!"
"Yes, my lord!"
The commanders hurriedly left, and Ye Yang pondered for a moment without saying anything further.
...
In the evening at Leaf Manor where Yun Xiaoxi resided.
Ye Yang gently knocked on the door: "Xiaoxi?"
"Yes, what is it?"
The voice of Yun Xiaoxi came from outside. Ye Yang turned around and saw the girl floating in the air, surrounded by Starlight Power. Her strong aura was concealed so perfectly that it was hard to believe she was now at Starry Sky Level Two, far stronger than someone just entering the starry sky. This was also why she could scare off Fire Plow and Murong Fei with just two strikes. Naturally, it was normal for Ye Yang not to sense Yun Xiaoxi's aura.
Stabbing the True Fire Sword into the ground beside him, Ye Yang sat down on the steps and said, "Peng Yue's target is actually just me. I killed Peng Feng and drove away his brother Peng Cheng, so the only key to resolving this standoff lies with me. I cannot let the people of Liang City suffer from war and displacement because of me!"
Yun Xiaoxi showed a hint of approval and asked with a smile, "So, what do you plan to do?"
Ye Yang suddenly stood up and said firmly, "You will come with me tonight to leave the city and confront Wei Army to take down Peng Yue!"
"Ah?"
Yun Xiaoxi was taken aback but quickly shook her head. "No way! My master only instructed me to protect you, not to help you kill anyone. Besides, Peng Yue is also a remarkable figure; I absolutely will not take action!"
Ye Yang nodded. "Then you should still follow me, in case I get killed by Peng Yue."
"Mm."
...
News had spread, and fear engulfed Liang City. Many wealthy merchants hurriedly transported their caravans out of the city, intending to escape this war-torn area.
Above the city, flags waved as soldiers acting as Crossbowmen stood ready for battle.
Ye Yang's expression was serious; he still wore his blue robe but had draped a red Cloak over his shoulders. This was a common cloak for Qin Army commanders, available in red and blue. As a defending general, Ye Yang naturally had the right to wear it. This simple cloak made Ye Yang's demeanor even more extraordinary, exuding heroism and a chilling killing intent.
Beside him, Yun Xiaoxi calmly held her Sharp Sword while Zhang Tianhe casually rested his Warhammer on his shoulder and laughed heartily, "Zi Yu, when are we setting off?"
Ye Yang closed his eyes and extended his senses. He could already feel a powerful flame aura from hundreds of miles away—it was indeed Peng Yue. Within the Fire God Clan, there were no other experts like him left; even Peng Yue'er was only at Earth Level Seven and being a woman meant her Fire God Power was considerably weaker.
Peng Yue did not conceal his aura, which indicated one thing: he did not fear Ye Yang at all and could be confident in his ability to kill him!
In contrast, Yun Xiaoxi and Zhang Tianhe deliberately concealed their starry sky auras; otherwise, experts within hundreds of miles of Liang City would surely sense them.
"Now is the time!"
Ye Yang's feet touched the ground as flames surged around him. He soared down from the city, his handsome figure shooting straight toward the distance like an arrow.
With a loud roar, Zhang Tianhe leaped into the air, while Yun Xiaoxi floated like an immortal, disappearing like lightning into the night sky. The three of them moved swiftly—two flying and one walking on the ground. Their speed was impressive, especially Ye Yang, whose Fire God Fragment True Qi circulated around his feet, allowing him to keep pace.
After running for nearly an hour, the powerful aura ahead grew closer. Ye Yang suddenly stopped, and in the air, Zhang Tianhe and Yun Xiaoxi had already landed gracefully, using the forest terrain to conceal their presence.
...
"Rustling..."
Stepping on dew-covered fallen leaves, Ye Yang led the way. His True Fire Sword Edge was restrained as it startled a small snake slithering among the dry branches. Pushing aside the dense foliage, he could clearly see a group of soldiers moving stealthily at night. Among them were nearly a thousand cavalry advancing slowly. The hooves of their warhorses were wrapped in thick cotton cloth to muffle any sound. Behind the cavalry was a vast number of infantry, their banners fluttering with a large character "Peng" embroidered on them.
Under the bright moonlight, the Peng Yue army's armor gleamed vividly, showcasing their formidable strength. This iron army was clearly far superior to the garrison of Liang City!
In the center of the army, a group of generals surrounded a single figure under a large banner. This person rode a striking red warhorse that was anything but ordinary; it had two sharp horns protruding from its head and flames flickered around its hooves. The warrior riding this horse wore dark black Ironclad armor and held a long sword, his piercing gaze scanning the surroundings.
...
Ye Yang halted as a fragrant scent wafted from behind him. Yun Xiaoxi had come very close and looked at Peng Yue's mount with astonishment: "Is that... is that the legendary Ninth-Grade Beast, Blazing Sky Warhorse?"
