"Oil... Liu Yan is ambushing me like he's preparing to defend the city." Wang Han looked at the crimson waterfalls of fire cascading down the cliff, the boulders burning into giant fireballs. His expression finally changed slightly. Although he could resurrect infinitely, being burned was still painful. More importantly, Wang Han still had some pride. There were hundreds of thousands of people here. If his clothes were burned off, Wang Han would really have no choice but to abandon his original plan and eliminate them first.
After careful consideration, for the sake of his image, Wang Han gritted his teeth, activated his power boost even more, and slammed the ground hard with the Golden Hammer of the Drum with one hand, while taking out a leather-stitched water bottle from his backpack with the other.
With a deafening roar, even the canyon trembled slightly. Where the golden hammer struck, the earth was lifted dozens of meters high. Even the boulders that had crashed down were pushed aside.
With a single blow from Wang Han's hammer, the earth was blasted into a crater twenty meters in diameter and six or seven meters deep, much like a battleship's cannon fire.
Hidden by the thick layer of mud, Wang Han uncorked the water bag and poured out the water.
"Double." Seeing the flowing water, Wang Han immediately activated the Doubling ability. (Water has mass, so it can be multiplied.) The next second, the flowing water surged, gushing out of the large crater Wang Han had created like a fountain. The falling oil was also blocked, only able to burn on the water's surface. As the water flowed, the burning boulders lost their power upon hitting the water, and the flames attached to them quickly extinguished, posing no threat.
"Liu Yan, what method will you use next? Don't disappoint me." Under the water, in the large pit, Wang Han increased the water flow while looking up at the cliff.

"This...it's impossible, how could a human do that..." On the cliff, Liu Yan and the others stared at the gushing water, hardly believing their eyes, much less their own judgment. Faced with a desperate situation, Marquis Dingshan had actually shattered the earth with a single blow, drawing out groundwater and averting the crisis. What immense power, what incredible luck! How could a human possibly do that?
The soldiers who witnessed this scene trembled with fear, their expressions and eyes filled with dread. They were afraid. Even Zhang Lu and the generals of the foreign tribes were frightened, and some even considered retreating.
"Don't be afraid of him, everyone. He's already trapped like a turtle in a jar." Liu Yan said quickly upon seeing this. "The Marquis of Dingshan is still a human being, and humans will die. If we can't kill him today, you all know the consequences. The Marquis of Dingshan will definitely not let us go, and your alien race may even be wiped out."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became more solemn than ever before. Liu Yan was right. This time, their elaborate trap to kill Marquis Dingshan had thoroughly offended him. If they didn't kill him while they still held the advantage, Marquis Dingshan would inevitably retaliate fiercely in the future. Not only would they all perish, but even those close to them would die. From the moment they ambushed Marquis Dingshan, there was no way out.
Everyone's gaze hardened.
Zhang Lu asked, "My lord, what should we do next? We have already poured out all the oil we prepared at the crossroads. We are out of oil now, and it will take some time for oil from other sections to arrive. Moreover, we cannot observe where Marquis Dingshan is hiding underwater. I'm afraid he may have escaped by diving underwater."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan ordered, "Send the war drums to signal the troops outside the canyon to immediately charge into the canyon. Make sure they block the exit at all costs and do not allow Marquis Dingshan to escape with the current."
"Keep the archers and musketeers ready at all times. Once they spot Marquis Dingshan, they must immediately open fire."
"Lord Liu Yan," a foreign general quickly said upon hearing this, "doing this will kill our soldiers as well."
“This is the best way,” Liu Yan said coldly. “Do you think those who directly block Marquis Dingshan can survive? This way, their deaths will be more meaningful. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”
"This..." Upon hearing this, the alien general fell silent, and everyone else fell silent as well, tacitly accepting the order. This was because Marquis Dingshan was too powerful, and that was the reality. Only by attacking their own people as well could they possibly kill Marquis Dingshan as quickly as possible.
"Boom boom boom boom boom..." The sound of war drums began to rise from the cliffs and echoed through the canyon.
"Giddy up, giddy up..."
At the three entrances outside the canyon, the cavalry and chariots, who were already prepared, took the lead and surged into the relatively narrow canyon like a flood, charging towards the three-way intersection. They immediately filled the canyon passage to the brim, and the infantry followed closely behind, swarming around the charging cavalry.
After everyone rushed into the canyon, at the entrance, soldiers on the cliff immediately pushed down huge boulders, blocking the canyon's exit completely, and prepared oil. Having killed Marquis Dingshan, they had plenty of time to slowly move the stones; if Marquis Dingshan reached this point, they would pour oil on him, determined not to let him leave.
……………………………………
Ten thousand horses galloped, a hundred thousand troops charged, and even the earth trembled slightly.
"What's going on?" Under the water, Wang Han, who was holding the golden hammer and sinking into the pit, felt the earth tremble slightly. He frowned, stopped the doubling down, and looked up at the cliff.
"Not on the cliff." Seeing no movement on the cliff, Wang Han used his legs to leap out of the pit. Once out of the water, his gaze fell upon the canyon passage.
