After the heavy snow, it became even colder.

  The cold wind howled and the chill enveloped the city of Yanjiang, but in the hearts of Teng Qing Shan and Yan Mo Tian on the city wall, it was even colder.

  Teng Qing Shan's cold gaze pierced through the helmet and face mask, sweeping towards the Silver Python Army below. In a low tone, he said: "Yan Lao, according to our calculations, it would take about three hours for this intelligence to reach the sect from here, and another one or two hours for it to be relayed back to us. Which means... the army on Qing Hu Island should have already been marching for four or five hours!"

  Yan Motian solemnly said: "If Qinghu Island does not spare any effort to rush, it will be able to arrive at the foot of Yanjiang City today during the day!"

  Intelligence knows too little, can only infer the approximate time.

  Hong Qing Shan sneered, "The master of Qing Hu Island, 'Gu Yong', has actually led the army personally! Moreover, they attacked the Iron Clothes Sect first and then our Gui Yuan Sect. Now that all parties have gathered their troops and dispatched more people than when they attacked the Iron Clothes Sect, it seems they really look down on us Gui Yuan Sect!"

  "'Looking down' is not a good thing, Yuangu people would rather have Qinghu Island look down on themselves and send fewer troops."

  "As soon as 'Gu Yong' leads the army over, we can't escape even if we want to, it's time to retreat." Yan Mo Tian said in a low and helpless tone, "Originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to kill more people from Qinghu Island. However...Qing Shan you killed that Tie Wan Mao, our big army mobilization this time is also worth it."

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head and smiled: "Tie Wan Mao? Too arrogant, can only bully post-heaven experts."

  "Pang Tong leads." Teng Qing Shan shouted.

  The distant Pong-san immediately came walking this way.

  "Unwillingly, we have to leave." Teng Qing Shan sighed and immediately discussed the withdrawal with Pang Shan and Yan Mo Tian.

  ……

  Under the city of Yanjiang, the withered corpses were scattered all over the ground. Some Silver Python soldiers were collecting the remains of the deceased Law Enforcement Elder 'Tie Wanmao' under orders, while other gathered Silver Python soldiers were whispering among themselves, occasionally glancing up at the black figure in heavy armor holding a silver wheel gun on the city wall.

  "Elder, General!" Two Silver Python Army soldiers, one holding a bundle containing the remains of the corpse, and the other carrying a Wind Thunder Knife as well as inner armor and arm guards.

  "Let go." The middle-aged man in gray robes instructed indifferently.

  "Yes."

  The two Silver Viper soldiers put down their bundles, Wind and Thunder knives, and inner armor.

  "Hu Zhanglao!" The heavily armored man beside the middle-aged man in gray robes said in a low, angry voice, "Zhao Shizu and the others led the army to destroy the Iron Clothes Sect. Not one of the ten pre-heavenly strong men died, but on our side, we lost Tie Zhanglao under the city of Yanjiang! This great shame and humiliation, are we just going to swallow it?"

  A middle-aged man in a gray robe looked at him and said, "General Lan, what do you want to do? Call for battle before the formation? The other side doesn't even come out to fight, what can you do? Launch a strong attack?"

  "This is the first time in years that I, Qing Hu Island's first innate, have been killed before the battle! And it was a beheading! This is a great shame!" General Lan's eyes were wide with anger, "We launched a fierce attack all at once, I don't believe we can't take it down!"

  A middle-aged man in a gray robe flashed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, and said indifferently: "If we launch a strong attack, the city gate is heavily guarded, definitely heavily defended. We can't break through. And climbing over the city wall? The enemy has the advantage of the city wall. Although there are tens of thousands of Silver Dragon Army on this side of Qinghu Island, only a small part can rush up and fight if they climb up the city wall, and will only be slowly devoured by the Black Armor Army! Moreover, don't forget... the other side also has hidden dark weapon masters."

  "Master of hidden weapons?" General Lan was taken aback.

  Five hundred Golden Scales Guards, in an instant nearly one hundred and fifty people died. General Blue could clearly remember the scene of those Golden Scales Guards falling down.

  "Dying at the age of over a hundred is nothing." The middle-aged man in grey robes said indifferently, Tie Wanmao was already over a hundred years old but still only at the 'Pre-Heavenly Void Dan' realm. At this age, it's likely that he won't be able to reach the 'Pre-Heavenly Solid Dan' realm in this lifetime. Such a person is not particularly valued on Qinghu Island.

  Qinghu Island truly values Hu Changlao, Zhao Danchen and a few other pre-heavenly Golden Elixir figures!

  "The true strength of Teng Qing Shan is what matters!" The middle-aged man in gray robes looked down at the remnants on the ground.

  "Mount Teng Qing." The robust and majestic Blue General stared at the large hole in the center of the inner armor, unable to help but say, "A 17-year-old innate master! And that last shot... its power is truly formidable, even Iron Elder's corpse was instantly charred. A high-ranking Innate Void Dan expert, it's hard for anyone to resist. Looking at the entire Nine States continent, in a thousand years, Teng Qing Mountain is second only to the demonic monk of Mo Ni Temple."

  Old Hu looked up and gazed into the distance at the black armored figure standing on the city wall of Yanjiang City, like a ghost or a god.

  "No, he's even more terrifying than the demon monk!" Old Hu said in a low voice.

  "Huh?" General Lan exclaimed, "The demonic monk Xiang Fan Chen, over 600 years ago, was already at the Pre-Heavenly stage at just 16 years old."

  Old Hu gazed at the distant Teng Qing Mountain and said slowly, "The demonic monk was taught by the Mani Temple from a young age, cultivating one of the Four Great Divine Classics, the 'Golden Body Buddha'. On the other hand, Teng Qing Mountain grew up in the mountains, without a master, relying on himself. His gun technique is something I've never seen before, it must be his own creation! At the initial stage of Heaven's First, he can already kill Iron Old Man who has reached Heaven's First for decades... Just thinking about it, I'm afraid of what Teng Qing Mountain will become in the future!"

  General Lan was taken aback.

  "If we give the Guiyuan Sect a few more decades, I'm afraid that by then, even Qinghu Island will be hard to destroy the Guiyuan Sect." Old Man Hu said slowly, "Even if one Iron Elder dies, let Qinghu Island know that Teng Qingshan is a terrifying genius. This time, when destroying the Guiyuan Sect, no matter what, it's best to capture Teng Qingshan alive. If we can't catch him, then kill him!"

  General Lan nodded in agreement when he heard Old Man Hu say this.

  Comparable to the terrifying genius of 'Xiang Fan Chen', and still an enemy, if I don't kill him, I really won't be able to eat or sleep!

  What a pity...

  They didn't know that Teng Qing Shan was not a young genius with little experience, but in terms of pursuit, tracking, and escape, it could be said that there were only a few people on the entire continent who could rival him. With his previous life's assassination experience, combined with his control over his body at will.

  Who can kill him?

  ……

  Time flies, and the people of Qinghu Island are sitting at the foot of the city, resting while waiting for the arrival of the main force.

  "General! General!"

  A silver snake soldier rushed into the main tent immediately, General Lan and Old Master Hu were drinking tea and waiting quietly.

  "What's going on?" General Lan frowned and asked.

  "General!" The soldier exclaimed urgently, "The Black Armor Army of Yuan Zong has escaped from under the city wall."

  Hoo! Hoo!

  General Lan and Old Man Hu rushed out of the big tent in an instant, looking far away at the city wall of Yanjiang City. Indeed... At this moment, there were only a few hundred Black Armor Army soldiers on the city wall. These Black Armor Army soldiers were quickly escaping down from various passages. In just two breaths, these Black Armor Army soldiers disappeared from the city wall.

  "Golden Scales Guard!" Old Man Hu bellowed loudly.

  Wow!

  More than three hundred Golden Scales Guards rushed out quickly.

  "Follow me!" Old Hu led the charge, dashing towards the city wall with incredible speed. His figure fluttered like a swift arrow. Behind him, over 300 Golden Scale Guards also sprinted towards the city wall.

  "Bang!" "Bang!"...

  The gathering drumbeats echoed across the sky, and the 10,000 Silver Dragon Army quickly assembled together.

  ……

  Old Hu lightly jumped onto the city wall with a single step under his foot, but with Old Hu's six senses, he couldn't hear even a hint of breathing sound on top of the wall.

  "Have they all escaped?" Old Hu was shocked.

  Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

  Behind him, a Golden Scale Guard sprang onto the city wall like an agile leopard.

  "Follow me down." With a single order from Old Hu, they jumped directly from the city wall into the city, only to find... that there was not a single guard at the city gate. Instead, thick wooden beams were used to block the gate, and the heavy black metal door bolts locked the gate firmly in place.

  "Open the city gate." Old Hu shouted, but he himself looked far into the north.

  The shops on the street closed their doors one by one, and in the distance, there was a vague blackness, the dense sound of horseshoes caused vibrations on the ground, which Hu Changlao could still feel clearly.

  The Golden Scales quickly moved away the giant logs and pulled open the door bolts one by one, "Boom!" Along with the city gate opening with a loud bang.

  At that moment, a large number of Silver Dragon Army soldiers riding war horses quickly rushed into the city. A loud shout rose: "Charge! Kill one Black Armor Army soldier and be rewarded with 100 taels of white silver, kill one hundred-man commander and be rewarded with 1,000 taels of white silver..." The Silver Dragon Army soldiers yelled as they chased after them quickly.

  The other side is only concerned with escaping, and the pursuit will be very easy.

  ……

  The number of Black Armor Army was too large, even if they retreated in an orderly manner. However, the soldiers at the end of the army were only about two miles away from the Silver Python Army's pursuing soldiers. Moreover, because they were at the end, there were too many Black Armor Army soldiers, and each warhorse had a different maximum speed. The soldiers in front could run freely, but those behind couldn't keep up.

  "Haha...... brothers, kill."

  The silver python army soldiers yelled one by one, war horses galloping, making the entire Yanjiang City tremble.

  The distance is getting closer and closer!

  "Hurry up!" Teng Qing Shan roared, he and Yan Mo Tian were at the very back of the Black Armored Army. The Silver Winged Army was closing in.

  One li away, half a li away, eighty zhang, fifty zhang, thirty zhang...

  "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The arrows shot from behind, one by one, landed on the Black Armor soldiers at the back, only to hear the sound of "Clang" "Clang", occasionally one or two lucky arrows inserted into the gap of the war armor.

  Hoo! Hoo!

  Like a gust of wind, the Black Armor Army finally charged out of the north gate of Yanjiang City. At this moment, hundreds of Black Armor soldiers gathered at both ends of the north gate of Yanjiang City. Twenty Black Armor soldiers grabbed the reins, ten men holding one side... When all the Black Armor soldiers ran out, the Silver Python Army had just caught up!

  "Rise!" A loud shout.

  One by one, the tripwires were pulled out of the mud, about a foot or two off the ground. Each tripwire was spaced four zhang apart, with five sturdy tripwires in total. At the city gate, aside from the hundred soldiers holding the tripwires, the other Black Armor Army soldiers all held battle knives.

  "Rumble rumble~~~~"

  A string of war horses galloped down at high speed, and the ground shook as they fell to the ground. The Silver Python Army soldiers were also thrown out one by one. The speed of the war horses was not slower than some cars in front of Teng Qing Mountain in his previous life. Although the Silver Python Army soldiers were strong, they were also dizzy from the fall.

  Hoo! Hoo!

  The black-armored soldiers, who had been prepared for a long time, charged forward with their war knives in hand and immediately stabbed at the gaps under the opponent's face mask! Because people need to breathe and eyes need to see things, so there are gaps.

  A ruthless slash of the battle sword came down!

  Huff! Huff!

  Blood splattered everywhere.

  "Ah~~" A miserable cry echoed through the sky, and many Silver Python Army soldiers were killed before they even woke up from being thrown to the ground!

  "An ambush!!!" A shrill cry of alarm rose up.

  "Law law~~"

  The sound of horses neighing and angry roars continued, the city gate was completely chaotic, and the warriors who couldn't stop jumped off their horses. The entire city gate was instantly blocked by fallen warhorses, dead bodies of Silver Dragon Army soldiers, and tripwires.

  "Go!" shouted Teng Qing Shan.

  The Hei Jia Jun soldiers immediately mounted their horses one by one and quickly escaped, leaving behind a snowy field full of hoof prints.
