"Your Highness!" The soldiers on the city wall were all terrified.
Ling Lang was so anxious that he flew out of the city wall to try and save Xuan Yuanzhan.
Xuanyuan Zhan, however, showed no sign of panic. He poured all his inner strength into the Xuanwu Sword and slashed it down at Tuoba Xiong below.
With a loud "boom", a huge, luminous aura of internal energy surged rapidly toward the rain of arrows that were shooting toward them.
"Bang! Bang! Bang..." Countless arrows crashed into the inner force aura, and were all bounced back along the same path.
"Ah!" This was followed by a chorus of wails from the Northern Rong soldiers.
Many of the soldiers who had just fired arrows had their arrows deflected. Some of the more astute ones saw the arrows return the way they came and quickly blocked them with their shields, or simply turned aside to avoid being hit.
The enormous, luminous halo continued to expand rapidly, hurtling toward Tuoba Xiong.
All he could hear were the soldiers' cries of agony. When Tuoba Xiong saw the powerful aura of internal energy surging toward him, he didn't have time to think and instinctively jumped off his horse.
"Boom!" Another deafening explosion occurred, and the warhorse that Tuoba Xiong had abandoned was instantly blasted to pieces by the inner force aura.
Blood and flesh flew everywhere as the explosion ripped through the air, splattering blood all over the round-faced Tuoba Xiong's face. But he didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face. He just stared in horror at his warhorse, which had been blown to pieces.
sky!
What formidable internal energy!
Almost...
He was almost blown to pieces!
Luckily, he rolled away quickly!
Tuoba Xiong looked at Xuanyuan Zhan, who was still flying in mid-air, with a look of lingering fear.
This Holy King of Eastern Chu has amazing martial arts skills!
So many soldiers shot arrows at him, but not a single one hit him. His internal energy aura had backfired on the soldiers who were shooting arrows!
He had no idea that there was such a master hidden in Eastern Chu, and that he was even a prince of Eastern Chu!
Does the Second Prince know how powerful the Holy King's martial arts are?
If he had such powerful martial arts skills, he would seize the throne by force rather than let it fall into the hands of others!
The others around were also shocked by this sudden scene.
Eastern Chu soldier: Is this their prince? Is their prince really this powerful?
Your Highness, you looked like a god descending from heaven! Especially that counterattack just now, it was just too cool!
Northern Rong soldier: My God, this prince of Eastern Chu is too skilled in martial arts, how are we supposed to fight him?
They were full of confidence just moments ago, but after witnessing the fighting power of the Eastern Chu Holy King, they instantly realized that this battle would be difficult to win!
Xuanyuan Zhan looked at the warhorse that had been blown into pieces, and couldn't help but glance at the Xuanwu Sword in his hand.
This was the first time he had ever used the Xuanwu Sword, and he never expected it to be so powerful!
Or perhaps, he is a perfect match for this Xuanwu sword.
His Xuanmen internal energy is well-suited to be used with this Xuanwu sword, making it nearly twice as powerful as his previous swords.
This Xuanwu sword is really handy, it's just a pity that it couldn't kill Tuoba Xiong with a single strike.
But don't worry, the game has only just begun.
Xuanyuan Zhan gripped the Xuanwu Sword and charged directly towards Tuoba Xiong.
Tuoba Xiong was terrified when he saw Xuan Yuanzhan swooping down on him like an eagle catching its prey. He screamed in panic, "Mu Shan!"
Upon hearing Tuoba Xiong's shout, Mu Shan immediately grabbed his broadsword and leaped in front of Tuoba Xiong, blocking Xuan Yuanzhan's sword.
"Clang!" The sword and the blade clashed together, producing a sharp and piercing sound.
Mu Shan's hand holding the knife trembled slightly from the impact of the sword strike, and cold sweat poured from his forehead. He gripped the ground tightly with both feet, fighting against Xuan Yuanzhan with all his might.
But all of this seems to be in vain...
With a crisp "crack!", Mu Shan's fine iron broadsword shattered after a few seconds of confrontation with Xuan Yuanzhan's Xuanwu sword.
Just as Mu Shan stared in shock at his shattered broadsword, at a loss for what to do, Xuan Yuanzhan's Xuanwu sword swung down again.
It was too late for Mu Shan to dodge.
"Snap!" Mu Shan's head fell off with a sound.
Mu Shan was beheaded right in front of the two armies. Everyone was stunned. Even Tuoba Xiong was dumbfounded and couldn't believe that Mu Shan had been killed like that.
Their Sky Dome Tribe's most powerful warrior was killed by this Holy King of Eastern Chu!
The soldiers on the Eastern Chu side were also stunned, especially the Zhenbei Army, who, as the border guards stationed in the north, had been dealing with the Northern Rong tribes for quite some time.
General Mushan of the Sky Dome Tribe is undoubtedly the most powerful general among all the tribes of the Northern Rong. He once single-handedly slaughtered an entire elite cavalry force of a thousand men.
Such a powerful general was beheaded by their prince with a single stroke.
They even felt that the prince hadn't exerted much effort at all, and had so easily killed their Sky Dome tribe's most powerful general.
Now, the prince seems more like a god to them.
Even now, they are no longer afraid of the vast Northern Rong army below, because they feel that as long as the prince is there, or even just the prince alone, he can kill the entire Northern Rong army, and do so very easily.
Therefore, they were not afraid of these Northern Barbarians at all.
"Your Highness is mighty! Long live Your Highness!" The soldiers of Eastern Chu snapped out of their daze and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Your Highness is mighty! Long live Your Highness!" someone shouted, and the soldiers behind him all joined in the excited shouts.
Even Ling Lang stared intently at Xuan Yuanzhan, his burning eyes filled with admiration.
Their prince, how many more surprises do you have in store for them?
Xuanyuan Zhan stared intently at Tuoba Xiong, as if he hadn't caught the right prey and was still quite unsatisfied.
Tuoba Xiong, who had always been wary of Xuanyuan Zhan, also noticed Xuanyuan Zhan's gaze. He was so frightened that he scrambled to his feet and hid behind a shield, shouting, "Kill! Kill him for me! Whoever can take the head of the Holy King of Eastern Chu will be rewarded with 100,000 gold pieces!"
A generous reward will surely attract brave men!
At Tuoba Xiong's command, the Northern Rong soldiers, who had previously been retreating in fear, immediately charged towards Xuan Yuanzhan as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
However, these soldiers were no match for Xuanyuan Zhan. Even when surrounded by a group of Northern Rong soldiers, Xuanyuan Zhan handled the situation with ease.
The soldiers were all killed before they could even touch the hem of his clothes.
More and more Northern Rong soldiers surrounded him, while Tuoba Xiong's numbers increased and he moved further and further away.
Seeing that he couldn't kill Tuoba Xiong, Xuanyuan Zhan became too lazy to fight those Northern Rong soldiers anymore. With a light tap of his toes, he grabbed Ling Lang, who was being attacked by another group of Northern Rong soldiers, and flew back to the city tower.
