Bangbangbang! Countless sabers, swords, and halberds came in from all sides, but they were either knocked away by the white layer of light over the Wushang Cavalry or dodged. Some of the Wushang Cavalry even reached out and pulled their opponents right off their horses.

In terms of skill on horseback, there was almost no one who could surpass the Wushang Cavalry.

Rumble!

There was an earthshaking boom as the orderly army that Gudu Li had gathered was broken through, not even lasting four seconds. Fumeng Lingcha had put these Qixi cavalry through the most rigorous training and tempered them in the flames of battle.

In the view of Gudu Li and the other Hu generals, these twenty thousand cavalry were the strongest steel wall of Qixi, more than enough to deal with Wang Chong.

But none of them had expected to see that rather than steel, this wall was apparently made of paper, instantly torn through by Wang Chong's five thousand men! Through absolute strength, Wang Chong had utterly crushed the thousands of Qixi cavalry.

Neigh!

All was in turmoil, with screams and neighs filling the air, the stark difference in strength causing all twenty thousand soldiers of the Qixi army to panic.

”Damn it!!”

”Get out of the way! Those Han bastards are charging over!”

”How could this be! Ah! It's too frightening! Get out of the way!”

The five thousand Wushang Cavalry were absolute victors, delivering a massive shock that bored into the souls of all the Qixi soldiers. For the first time, this Hu army that believed itself to be invincible in Qixi experienced an earthquake of a blow!

Their rout was as swift as a landslide!

With just a single charge, Wang Chong's men had punched through the center of Gudu Li's army, causing it to fall to pieces.

”Damndamndamn!”

Gudu Li's eyes had turned red at this sight.

”Don't be afraid! Kill them! Charge together, get up there, kill them all…”

Gudu Li shouted with all his might, his entire body in panic. In Qixi, the strongest people were the Hu soldiers. They had defeated the Tibetans and the Western Turks. These were true soldiers of steel, veterans of one hundred battles!

Gudu Li didn't believe that a mighty army like this could be so easily defeated.

He was still struggling at death's edge, still attempting to rally the army and use his advantage in numbers to crush Wang Chong and the Wushang Cavalry. But at this moment, amidst the din of battle, Gudu Li suddenly heard the galloping of a horse.

A powerful energy was surging toward him like a wave, sweeping through his army. With no warning whatsoever, he suddenly felt an intense danger.

His heart shivered, and he immediately pulled out his sword. But Gudu Li's reaction was still too slow. The moment he pulled out his sword, there was a cold flash of light, and a blood-red horse rose into the air, its giant of a rider slashing down with a sword larger than a man.

Even the sun in the sky seemed to dim as that massive sword exploded with a searing and dazzling light. With an unstoppable momentum that could shatter momentums, it crashed down upon Gudu Li.

Rumble!

There was a massive boom. Gudu Li only had enough time to gather all the Stellar Energy in his body into his sword and bring the sword up to block. And then, time seemed to stop and the sounds of battle seemed to fade away.

In this moment of stopped time, countless gazes gathered on Gudu Li, flabbergasted, confused, or incredulous.

In the center of the battlefield, the future Invincible Great General Li Siye sat upon his Ferghana steed, his expression cold and aloof, his massive Wootz Steel sword aimed downward. Kneeling beneath his sword was the leader of the Qixi rebels, Gudu Li. His hands were both raised, his sword held aloft, his entire body seemingly frozen in place.

Clang!

The first to shatter was that well-tempered sword in Gudu Li's hand, and then a line of blood began to travel down from his forehead, an invisible thread dividing his body into two. His eyes wide open in disbelief, Gudu Li fell apart, the halves of his body thudding to the left and the right.

Boom! Dust plumed into the air as a stream of Sword Qi shot out of the earth and into the sky, leaving behind a fissure six to seven zhang long behind Gudu Li's corpse.

The Sword Qi that Li Siye had sent into the earth had only just now exploded with its true strength.
