The famous general of the Sixth Layer Heaven, commander of the hundred thousand-strong allied forces of the Western Regions, Helian Jieshan’s head was severed, and Li Guanyi’s tightly wound nerves finally relaxed, followed immediately by an indescribable immense fatigue, like a tide catching Li Guanyi. The morale of the surrounding Western allied troops almost instantly collapsed, the Fierce Tiger Sky Shouting Halberd in Li Guanyi’s hand disappeared, he grasped a long spear, with a thrust, Helian Jieshan’s head was lifted and fell into his hand, the renowned general’s face still full of unwillingness, tiger eyes glaring angrily. Li Guanyi understood his discontent. If it weren’t for the internal chaos among these hundred thousand men, if it weren’t for Li Zhaowen’s assistance with the battle formation, if it weren’t for the Xuanjia Army, not for Qibi Li and Fan Qing, if not for Li Guanyi. Helian Jieshan would never have been slain among the great army. And having accomplished such a feat. Li Guanyi only felt thoroughly exhilarated, the ultimate of being a commander was just this. He flicked his wrist, tearing out a cold gleam, only to hear a crack, the central army’s large banner swayed and then fell crashing to the side, the generals retreated, all faces pallid, trembling with fear, not daring to advance, the spear in Li Guanyi’s hand held high. His body stained with blood, his brows commanding. Amidst the dead silence, he proclaimed loudly: "Helian Jieshan, has been slain by me!!!" Among the hundred thousand troops, beheading the enemy commander in chief, the already precarious morale of the Western allied forces collapsed like an avalanche, deserters appeared everywhere, chaos erupted in an instant, Li Guanyi exhaled a turbid breath, glanced at the war spear that had been fighting for so long and finally broken. Even as a mystical weapon, under the infusion of Grandmaster Level Inner Qi, continuously battling against power-enhanced mighty generals, it ultimately couldn’t withstand and broke. He held the broken spear as he would a long sword, casually picked up a long spear from the battlefield, carrying Helian Jieshan’s head, and charged outwards, the Western allied troops, seeing him as if seeing a Heavenly God, were all terrified. Though Li Guanyi was already in a nearly exhausted state, even the Immortal Body was somewhat debilitated. Unable to quickly regenerate temporarily, requiring the replenishment of Primordial Qi. Yet his war robe was stained with blood, his armor damaged, his brows lifted high, holding a spear and sword, he terrified the generals and colonels to rein in their horses and retreat, in the midst of ten thousand troops, none dared to confront his sharpness. Needless to say, the Qilin was still waiting in Li Guanyi’s arms, whoever dared approach would be met with a blast of Qilin Fire. Thousands of troops and horses avoiding one person, chanting Heavenly Might General! From afar watching Li Guanyi’s aura rise, Fan Qing’s tense spirit relaxed, seeing the enemy’s military formation open, he was deeply shaken, solemnly sighed, and said: "Lord, indeed it is the lord..." Qibi Li was the same, though he was also quite frightened, now coming to his senses, he only felt an indescribable boldness soaring up, the ten-thousand-strong army of Anxi City, all witnessing the unparalleled courage of their lord, Qibi Li only felt extremely satisfied. Xiahou Duan saw from afar the central army’s large banner swaying and breaking, then saw the chaos in the bordering army, although it was indeed too far to hear the commotion there, the great defeat of the Western allied forces was plainly visible. Xiahou Duan felt his hand holding the weapon trembling, overjoyed, saying: Among the hundred thousand, beheading the main general and commander! Indeed, a foe to ten thousand! Such a martial warrior, even though aging, his heart was still full of boiling blood, even though this great feat wasn’t achieved by himself, he felt a pure pride beyond measure, without any distinction of position, just feeling immensely satisfied. The generals in Xiyi City, all colonels, felt likewise, their blood boiling. Even the previous hostility towards Li Guanyi, dissatisfaction after killing Li Xuanye, was all discarded in an instant, the so-called warlords of chaotic times most aspire to this ultimate display of heroic courage. Duke Li praised with a smile, but there appeared a hint of apprehension and cautious vigilance in his eyes. Such, divine might... Looking around, the tens of thousands cheering, morale soaring to the utmost, Duke Li only felt a chilling sensation, Xiahou Duan noticed Duke Li’s change, tugged the reins, and said in a low voice: "Lord, he is our ally, why are you not quick?" Duke Li smiled wryly: "I previously wanted to conceal this person’s achievements." "Thus, with Your Majesty focusing on conquests in all directions, only knowing of our great victory, unaware of this so-called Tian Ge’er, unaware of the existence of this Central Plains traveling merchant, the matter of the Forty-Two Cities would be of no concern." "Raise high yet set down lightly, that is." "This is the maneuvering in officialdom." "But now, do you think it can still be concealed?" Xiahou Duan’s passionate exultation vanished, he remained silent for a long time, saying: "It cannot be stopped." Read complete version only at ɴovelfire.net Pausing, he continued seriously: "Nor should it be stopped." Duke Li said: "Indeed, a hundred thousand; if adding together both the enemy and our own, it would be enough to record as two hundred thousand in the annals of history, in a battle of such magnitude." "Yet such a person, single-handedly, challenged the prince royal of the enemy nation, slew the commander in chief of the hundred thousand before the great army, even the most taciturn historian would record this battle, this young man’s feat is enough to be entered onto the Divine General List." "Regardless of the reasons for this battle, regardless of the strategic comparisons between the enemy and ourselves, the outcome is already determined." "Famous throughout the world!" "Your Majesty has a broad vision and a heart that cherishes great talents of the world." "Such a martial talent who beheaded a commander in the midst of ten thousand, do you think Your Majesty will not inquire? With such a figure, who obtained the Forty-Two Cities, it is like a tiger returning to the deep mountains, a dragon going back to the sea, who can stop them?"
