Kill!
A million troops clashed, stirring up a sky of killing intent, wisps of fresh blood permeating the air!
Roar!
The thick, fishy smell attracted the demonic beasts in the bodies! A quarter of an hour later, a ground littered with corpses, shattered weapons, and scattered sparks!
"Report, General, our army suffered two thousand casualties, and annihilated the ten thousand strong Heavenly Fire army!"
Hearing the cleared battle results, Liao Hua wiped the blood from his three-pointed blade: "Transport the brothers' remains back to Shu Commandery and give them a grand burial!"
The army departed, leaving only fierce beasts all over the mountains and plains to clean up the corpses of the Heavenly Fire army!
Ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops, annihilated!

Liangzhou Prefecture Governor's Yamen.
"Sect Master, all disciples in the north have arrived, and thirty thousand troops are ready to march!" The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire's voice boomed like thunder, full of surging momentum!
"Good, the Second Elder and the Protector Elders have almost taken Longxi and Beidi!"
Tian Yunhuo's face bloomed with a smile. Two armies had split and moved out, tightly encircling Tianshui in the center. The day of unifying Xiliang was not far off!
"What is the news from the scouts sent to Tianshui?" Tian Yunhuo asked. The Tianshui army had arrived at the city walls for some time, but they had not launched an attack, instead building a crescent-shaped fortification outside the city.
"Sect Master, according to the information probed by my disciple, the thousands of soldiers guarding Tianshui are all ants at the sixth level of Bone Forging."
"To ensure the authenticity and reliability of the information, the night before last, I infiltrated the enemy territory and found that the enemy's strength was exactly as my disciple had probed!"
As the Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire spoke, he took out a letter from his embrace and handed it to Tian Yunhuo.
"Hahaha, heaven helps me! You dare to send troops to attack us with such strength? Great Elder, I'll trouble you tonight to lead ten thousand troops and destroy the enemy's defenses!" Tian Yunhuo said dismissively.

Midnight, Tianshui Great Camp.
"General Gao, have all three thousand Bone Forging realm soldiers withdrawn? Tonight, you will lead the Vanguard to defend the crescent-shaped fortifications!" Lu Kang said, hands behind his back, his eyes scanning the map.
"It's time. Last night, a peak ninth-level Innate expert from the Heavenly Fire Sect was observing our army's movements a few miles away. I presume they will launch their attack in the next few days!" Gao Shun said with a smile.
This was a smokescreen that he and Lu Kang had devised while building the crescent-shaped fortifications, using soldiers of lower strength to confuse and paralyze the enemy.
When the enemy lets down their guard and launches a rash attack, the gates of Liangzhou Prefecture will be wide open, and the Heavenly Fire Sect will be annihilated!
"Hurry up and act. Once the news of the complete annihilation of the Heavenly Fire army in Longxi and Beidi arrives, it will come at a great price to take the prefecture!" Lu Kang turned around, his eyes looking at Gao Shun meaningfully.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Gao Shun boomed his assent!

The dark night was pitch black, and ten thousand troops were advancing towards the crescent-shaped fortifications of Tianshui.
Gao Shun stood at the front, searching for traces on the distant plains. Suddenly, a soldier from the Vanguard ran over.
"Reporting to the General, ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops have been spotted ahead, and the leader is the peak ninth-level Innate expert who was observing our army's movements last night!"
Upon hearing the soldier's report, a smile crept onto Gao Shun's lips. Annihilating the Heavenly Fire army and sweeping across Xiliang would happen tonight!
"Inform the brothers of the Vanguard to prepare for battle!" Gao Shun said with a serious expression. The rash action of the ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops had fallen into the death trap meticulously laid by him and Lu Kang.
Eight hundred Vanguard soldiers lined up behind the crescent-shaped fortifications, all with their bows drawn and arrows nocked. Each crossbow was fitted with four sharp arrows, silently awaiting the start of the battle.
On the plain outside the prefecture city, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire, a peak ninth-level Innate expert, was leading ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops to charge towards the crescent-shaped fortifications.
The ten thousand troops were lightly equipped, with the lowest cultivation being ninth-level Bone Forging and the highest being fifth-level Nascent Yuan disciples of the Heavenly Fire.
The ten thousand troops moved like thunder. In their eyes, facing thousands of ants at the sixth level of Bone Forging was a simple matter. In the eyes of the Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire, the crescent-shaped fortifications before them were a tomb dug by the Tianshui army itself.
The ten thousand troops advanced rapidly, and in a moment, the army pressed up against the crescent-shaped fortifications, victory within reach.
"Release arrows, shoot!"
The ten thousand troops were all within arrow range. Gao Shun gave the order, and over three thousand arrows broke through the air, uniformly transforming into streaks of light that illuminated the vast plain.
Swish!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!~~
A volley of arrows, carrying the full force of the eighth-level Nascent Yuan Vanguard soldiers, blasted towards the ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops.
The terrifying rain of arrows pierced the sky, and the ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops trembled!
"Not good! The intelligence is wrong, quick! Quick, defend! Quick! Ah~~!" A fifth-level Nascent Yuan disciple of the Heavenly Fire shouted in terror, directing the army to defend.
Clang~~ A streak of light streaked across and pierced his skull. He let out a scream and his body collapsed, trampled by the panicked army!
"Shoot!"
Gao Shun continued to command. Round after round of arrows were fired, and the ten thousand Heavenly Fire troops were instantly decimated, with countless arrows turning the Heavenly Fire army into a sieve.
"Defend!" The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire quickly stabilized the panicked situation, and a wall of fire erupted, blocking the incoming arrows.
The army stabilized and then charged towards the crescent-shaped fortifications again!
Seeing this, Gao Shun smiled, swung his Golden Soul Spear, shaking the void, and attacked with a torrent of fierce light.
The spear's shadow swept across, spraying blood. Hundreds of Heavenly Fire heads flew into the sky, and hundreds of bloody fountains instantly erupted!
"Hmph!" The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire's eyes were filled with ferocity. Even a fool could see that this was a trap, a cage woven for him!
"Hmph, a remote and desolate place, yet you dare to provoke the might of my Heavenly Fire Sect, with its profound history and deep roots! What if our strengths were equal!"
"Village bumpkin, die for me!" The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire, knowing he had walked into a trap, showed no fear. With a roar, he stirred up layers of fire clouds and attacked Gao Shun.
The steaming flames swept across the battlefield, blood sizzled and steamed, and the earth cracked and dried.
Gao Shun thrust out his spear, like a celestial dragon emerging from the sea, churning through the scorching flames!
"Annihilate!" "Die for me!"
On the battlefield, Gao Shun's spear strike shook the void, blood mist churned, and in an instant, it was like an Asura descending, piercing the heavens. Su Dan Novel Network.
Sorrowful, silent.
Clang!
A chilling aura swept across the sky and slowly landed in the surging sea of fire. The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire's pupils contracted sharply. The powerful aura pressed down on him, making him feel fear.
Hiss!
A simple and desolate spear light instantly pierced through layers of heat waves and plunged into the Great Elder's chest! The Great Elder of the Heavenly Fire, a peak ninth-level Innate expert, had no power to resist and was directly blood-spattered in the midst of the army, his blood dyeing the sky!
