For a moment, Ivan and his cavalry were all stunned by Bai Qi's imposing aura and stood rooted to the spot, not daring to step forward.

Their mounts, filled with fear, rolled their eyes and tugged at the reins, trying to get away from Bai Qi.

At this moment, Bai Qi glanced at everyone and said with disdain, "Useless!"

Ivan could not bear such mockery. He steeled his heart, raised his scimitar, and slashed down.

Faced with Ivan's attack, Bai Qi calmly flipped his wrist and slashed with his Heaven-Piercing Halberd to block it with a soft sound.

At the same time, he turned sideways and attacked Ivan from an extremely tricky angle.

The next instant, a whooshing sound came! The Heaven-Piercing Halberd seemed to transform into a phantom, its cold, silvery-white tip thrusting left and right, all aimed at the face or throat!

The dense, rain-like attacks startled Ivan, who hurriedly swung his scimitar to block them.

"Bang bang bang!" In just a short while, Bai Qi had already launched more than a dozen attacks.

"His moves are incredibly simple, just left and right thrusts! That's a really strange fighting style!" Ivan couldn't help but think. "But his speed is incredibly fast, and the speed of each thrust is increasing!"

Bai Qi was fast, and Ivan had to respond just as quickly, deflecting every sharp attack.

But this left Ivan struggling to cope.

In no time, Ivan's temples were covered in sweat, and he even had to use his mouth to catch his breath.

After exchanging a few blows, Ivan was already sweating profusely.

He knew that although the two sides seemed evenly matched, in this kind of battle, a slight mistake could result in being killed instantly.

Moreover, as time goes on, he is now increasingly unable to keep up with Bai Qi's offensive.

My own movements, my own breathing, even my own thoughts, are completely chaotic.

At the same time, there was another factor that made Ivan lose his will to fight.

Because besides the fact that the enemy in front of them is very strong, there are other factors as well.

In the blink of an eye, he could see that Qiu Zi's troops and the Abbasid army had been routed by Bai Qi.

The Arab army, known for its formidable military strength, was now being overwhelmed by the troops brought by Bai Qi.

Even as one of the top warriors in the Abbasid army, he was constantly suppressed by Bai Qi.

Ivan, who is only in his early twenties this year, is considered an outstanding new generation of military commander among the younger generation in the Arab world.

Previously, in the battle between Dos and Da Xia, Dos's hundreds of thousands of allied troops were completely annihilated by the Da Xia regent.

That battle made Lin Mo, the Regent of the Great Xia Dynasty, famous throughout the world.

At that moment, Ivan wondered, "Is Lin Mo's army really that strong? He probably succeeded through treacherous schemes!"

At the same time, the Dos people were brave but reckless, which is why they fell into Lin Mo's trap.

If I were to lead the current Abbasid army to deal with this, I would definitely be able to defeat Lin Mo of Great Xia.

But at this very moment, Ivan encountered Bai Qi, the Great Xia general who had fought at Tianyue Mountain. And now Ivan was quite certain that Bai Qi, and his troops, were ridiculously powerful!

Defeating the Great Xia army was simply...

Twenty days, a continuous attack for twenty days.

They couldn't even capture Xichuan City, which was defended by tens of thousands of people.

At this moment, Bai Qi's army had become so strong that he felt he had no hope of winning.

If it's Lin Mo's entire elite force, then let alone the Abbasid army.

Even if all the Qiuzi, the Northern Barbarians, and the Eastern Pango joined forces, they would still be no match for him!

Ivan gasped as blood gushed from his severed little and ring fingers.

In that moment of distraction, two of his fingers were severed by the sharp Heaven-Piercing Halberd.

The pain made him instinctively tug at the reins, pulling his warhorse back two steps to create distance between himself and the person in front of him.

"You're not bad, you have some skill!" Bai Qi said, pointing at Ivan.

Hearing this, Ivan felt a deep bitterness in his heart!

The pain in his hand made him pale, but he couldn't show it; he had to keep a calm expression!

"You're strong too!" Ivan gasped for breath, his bloodied hands still gripping the scimitar tightly.

Then, he fixed his gaze on Bai Qi and asked, "Tell me, has your master, the Regent of Great Xia, arrived with reinforcements?"

"My lord?" Bai Qi sneered, "Why would my lord need to come personally to deal with a rabble like you!"

"Let me tell you, in Shu, there is only me, Bai Qi! My lord is leading the main force, having just wiped out the Dongpan bastards. Now, he is marching north without stopping, determined to annihilate the Northern Barbarians!"

Upon hearing this, Ivan frowned.

"Faced with an encirclement of millions of troops from four directions, Lin Mo is so calm. I'm afraid Bai Qi has only sent one force to reinforce Shu." He thought to himself, "And have Dong Pan Ge and the Northern Yi really been wiped out by Lin Mo?"

Bai Qi didn't seem to be lying. Qiu Zi and the Abbasid army were being overwhelmed and were falling more and more.

It's only a matter of time before our side suffers a complete defeat.

Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. Perhaps my fate was sealed the moment I stepped onto the border of the Great Xia.

As the old saying goes, good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost.

Now, there is still a chance to survive, and that is to retreat before complete defeat!

Ivan's face grew even paler, a bitter smile creeping across his lips. The pain in his hands was still there, but he ignored it, asking his final question: "If my Arab army withdraws now, can you guarantee you won't pursue us?"

"Those who offend my Great Xia shall be killed without mercy!" Bai Qi raised the Heaven-Shattering Halberd and began preparing to launch the next offensive. This time, he was determined to finish off the person in front of him in one fell swoop.
