He unleashed his ultimate move, the "Thirteen Forms of Wind Breaking." In an instant, the sword shadow transformed into a white arc of light, sweeping towards Cang Lei with overwhelming force.
Wherever the arc of light passed, dust was stirred up, forming a small sandstorm that looked both spectacular and dangerous under the sunlight.
Although Cang Lei had pushed his power and will to the limit, he still seemed so small and powerless in the face of General An Yuan's unparalleled and swift attack.
At that time, under a clear blue sky, the scorching sun mercilessly baked the land ravaged by war. The vast battlefield was desolate, with scorched earth everywhere.
The few remaining withered grasses trembled in the hot wind. As the dazzling arc of light flashed, he swung his meteor hammer with all his might, but could only barely block the surging onslaught.
In an instant, a deafening roar was heard, and the meteor hammer was sent flying by the overwhelming force, falling far into the dust.
The arc of light continued its relentless advance, like a scythe of death, mercilessly slicing through Cang Lei's body. Instantly, blood gushed out like a raging fountain.
In an instant, his once imposing armor was stained a dazzling crimson, and the hot blood gushed out, seeping into the parched earth and disappearing in an instant.
A flash of resentment and despair crossed Cang Lei's eyes like a shooting star. He struggled to open his lips, trying to say something.
But in the end, all that came out of his mouth was a mouthful of blood. His body began to shake violently, like a candle flickering in the wind.
After struggling for a while, it finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell helplessly off the horse's back like a giant tree that had been felled.
As he fell, a cloud of dust rose, which, under the sunlight, looked like a dream, yet also conveyed endless sorrow.
General An Yuan yanked the reins sharply, and his horse neighed loudly, its front hooves rising high and powerfully pawing the air, as if announcing the end of the battle to the world.
He lowered his head slightly, his cold gaze looking down at Cang Lei's lifeless corpse, his face showing little joy of victory.
Only the slight rise and fall of his chest and his somewhat rapid breathing testified to the harrowing nature of the fierce battle that had just taken place. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of weariness after a life-or-death struggle, as well as a solemn resignation to the passing of life.
On the city wall, Youming took in everything. His originally relaxed brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashed across his cold and stern face.
He had meticulously planned to use Cang Lei as a pawn to cleverly probe the enemy's fatal weaknesses, but he never expected that Cang Lei would be so easily defeated.
He was so easily killed by General An Yuan. On the other side of the battlefield, Qin Qianluo and Xuan Ling witnessed this tragic scene, and the tension in their hearts eased slightly.
However, they were well aware of Youming's cunning and treachery, and dared not slacken their vigilance in the slightest. They kept their eyes fixed on the city gate like hawks, always on guard against Youming launching a surprise attack.
At this moment, the vast battlefield was deathly silent, with only the gentle sound of the wind blowing quietly, as if it were uttering a low and mournful sob for the vibrant lives that had just passed away.
In the distance, the continuous mountain ranges stood silent under the scorching sun, as if witnessing the tragedy unfold.
A moment later, General An Yuan slowly turned his horse around, and the steed, with steady and slow steps, slowly returned to its own camp.
Behind him, only Cang Lei's gradually cooling corpse remained, bathed in the brilliant yet merciless sunlight, lonely and desolate.
Upon seeing this, the soldiers of Tianxuan cheered loudly. The enemy's commander-in-chief had been killed, and their General Anyuan had won a great victory, while the soldiers of Xuanyuan Kingdom hurriedly retreated back into the city.
General An Yuan won a brilliant victory in this battle. Seeing that You Ming still hadn't shown up, Qin Qianluo couldn't help but purse her lips, put the high-precision sniper rifle back into her space, and returned with Xuan Ling.
Hidden atop the city wall, Youming gazed at Cang Lei's corpse on the battlefield, somewhat dazed, but more so regretful for not finding any weakness in General An Yuan's defenses.
Seeing that General An Yuan had already returned, he ordered the soldiers around him to collect and bury Cang Lei's body, which could be considered as fulfilling the bond they had shared over the years.
General An Yuan returned to his tent, his contempt for Youming growing even stronger. How could he not see that Youming was sending someone else to fight in order to observe his weaknesses?
I don't know what his relationship with that person is like, but it probably isn't very good. If someone can take advantage of another without hesitation, how good could their relationship be?
Qin Qianluo and Xuanling returned to their tents, somewhat sighing. 001 had just told her that the person who would be fighting today was Cang Lei.
She never expected that it would be Cang Lei who came today. You Ming is really ruthless. She originally thought that the top ten experts of Xuanyuan Kingdom had a good relationship, but now it seems that this is not the case.
