The air around seemed half-condensed into a liquid state, heavy enough to make breathing difficult.

  On this nameless small mountain, whether it was Li Zhi or Xu Haifeng, they were all closing their eyes, motionless, and even their breathing had long since stopped.

  Their inner true energy was highly mobilized, their souls not stopping to ascend, just like two mountaineers, disregarding the dangers and climbing towards that highest point. The invisible air mass in Xu Haifeng's hand had long since escaped his grasp, slowly rising in the center of the two people, until it hung suspended at a single point, unable to move again.

  The free energy in the air is constantly being absorbed by this high-speed rotating air mass, just like a firework that has been ignited and is ready to explode at any time.

  But the two of them seemed to be unaware, Lich's hand was no longer knocking, but was casually placed on his side, he sat quietly, but the boundless and turbulent aura continued to emanate from his body in all directions, until it encountered a majestic and overbearing aura that was in no way inferior to his own.

  At the summit, where birds and beasts had long since disappeared, there was now an eerie stillness, with only two people urging each other on, their powerful will to fight already nearing its limits.

  The air mass in the sky suddenly stopped, it had absorbed too much energy and finally burst out thoroughly at that moment.

  "Bang..."

  As if out of a clear sky, a huge sound burst forth above the two people's heads, and a scorching hot air wave rushed towards them with incredible speed.

  Their shirts automatically floated up, dancing and flying in the air waves. The fine sand and gravel on the top of the mountain were rolled in, taking away all, those shallow-rooted weeds and seedlings were ruthlessly pulled away.

  It's just a matter of flying sand and walking stones. The power of nature is already beyond their imagination, and even with their current cultivation, they cannot take it lightly.

  Xu Haifeng's body first swayed slightly, each swing emitting a subtle force that lightly offset the impact of the air wave. However, in just an instant, his face changed involuntarily, and his body suddenly began to rotate in place, using all his Tai Chi skills to barely withstand the impact of the air wave.

  Lizai could no longer sit still, he had long stood up, his palms flying, and his majestic body was swaying unsteadily in the wild wind, but no matter how fierce the wind was, he seemed like a top that never fell.

  Like a summer whirlwind, it came quickly and left quickly. A moment later, when the air wave completely disappeared, the top of the mountain was already in disarray.

  The two of them almost simultaneously opened their eyes and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes at the same time.

  "The power of nature is infinite and boundless, indeed it's not something that ordinary people like us can wield." Lizi sighed.

  "Hah..." Xu Haifeng suddenly lifted his robe, pointing at Lizhi and smiling: "Brother Lizhi, it seems we've provoked the heavens and received some punishment, which is only to be expected."

  They inadvertently triggered the power of the wind in nature, which has already exceeded the range that humans can recognize. The enormous power derived from it made them shocked and amazed.

  With their master-level skills, they were still having an unusually hard time resisting, if it were Fang Lingchen and the others, they would probably have been blown down the mountain by this gust of air long ago. It was clear that their clothes were also damaged in many places, and wearing them on their bodies was quite comical.

  But in their hearts, it was an unparalleled sense of coolness. The way of martial arts had reached such a realm, already nearing the peak, and taking another step forward would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

  They are in high spirits and fight against the heavens; they talk and laugh with others, competing with them. They reflect on themselves and compete with their own selves. Only by doing so can they transcend limits and constantly break through.

  Today's encounter unexpectedly touched on a new ability, just like pushing open a window beside me, smelling the gentle and fresh air, making my body and mind feel refreshed.

  No matter who they were, they had no intention of killing, for with their wisdom and vision, they could naturally see that this was not the time for battle. Whether it was victory or defeat, this war could not be fought.

  Their encounter was just for a fight, even if it's just a verbal sparring match.

  "Brother Li Zhi, today's meeting has been very beneficial for me, it was truly worth the trip." Xǔ Hǎi Fēng said with a loud laugh.

  "Hah..." He let out a long sigh of relief, and Li Zhi smiled: "What an honor, to be able to live in the same era as Brother Xu. It's truly a great joy."

  "Is it a happy event?" Xu Haifeng raised his head and gazed at the sky, remaining silent for a long time.

  Li Zhi was moved at the same time, and he also sighed. After a moment, he asked: "Xu brother, how is Caesar?"

  "Don't worry, as long as they have the guts to come, I'll have the appetite to let them come and never return." Xǔ Hǎifēng said proudly.

  The two looked at each other again, with no hint of murderous intent in their eyes, only genuine sincerity and deep regret.

  Xu Haifeng suddenly stretched out his hand, tore off a piece of his own robe, and with a flick of his finger, this soft object that had condensed his profound skills was like a knife blade embedded in the sandstone between the two people.

  "Li Zhi, next time we meet, Xu will surely take your life."

  Xu Haifeng let out a loud shout, took one last deep look at him, turned around and leaped down the mountain, in an instant, he was gone without a trace.

  Lizhi raised the wine jug in his hand and took a big gulp, the spicy white wine poured into his abdomen through his throat, like a fierce fire. He sprinkled the wine from the jug towards the direction where Xu Haifeng had left.

  The two of them had no grudges or grievances between them, they were similar in temperament and cherished each other. In the Xiongnu imperial palace, they drank fine wine together, calling themselves close friends. In Wodragon City, they joined forces to defeat Ao Ben, entrusting their lives to each other.

  However, with the invasion of the Xiongnu, the capital fell, and the four words "national righteousness" were like a sharp and unmatched knife light, cutting off the bond called friendship between them.

  From then on, they turned friends into enemies and there was no room for maneuvering anymore.

  Xu Haifeng cut his robe and broke off relations, resolutely leaving. Li Zhi waved his wine and spilled it on the ground, bidding him farewell in this way.

  Today we part, next time we meet, it will be a battle of life and death.

  On the battlefield, the sound of killing shook the ears, Bao Quan Ying led 30,000 iron cavalry towards the red ocean, he carefully controlled the direction, due to the difference in numbers, he could not intercept head-on, but striking the middle of the current was just right.

  On the north side, the 50,000 Flying Horse Army has begun to move, they will pursue and attack relentlessly, striving for the greatest results.

  The reputation of the Red Ocean, accumulated over hundreds of years, is not to be underestimated. If they were to engage in a desperate battle, the elite Xiongnu troops would surely suffer heavy casualties, and neither Modu Chanyu nor Jiyu Yanzhi would want to see such an outcome. However, now that Fang Lianchen has abandoned his camp and fled, morale will inevitably plummet. Moreover, when people are fleeing for their lives, their resistance is at its weakest, making it the perfect opportunity for a full-force pursuit and slaughter.

  The Xiongnu had no shortage of famous generals, and this principle was naturally understood, so they would not let go of this opportunity.

  Tu Er Hong personally commanded the 50,000-strong army, and their speed was not fast. Although it is unknown why the troops of Kou Batian suddenly shrunk so much, this fact has been announced, and today the Xiongnu people cannot keep all the northern camps intact. So let Fang Lingchen escape, it's also a helpless thing.

  At this time, what they could do was to kill as many Han people as possible. Although they couldn't communicate face-to-face directly, Tuer Hong and Kuo Bao both chose this path without prior agreement.

  Tu Erhong was waiting, as long as most of the Red Ocean Army ran out of the camp, it was his moment to issue a pursuit order.

  In an instant, Fang Lingchen, while galloping, turned his horse's head, and the entire team's direction followed his action with a nearly ninety-degree sharp turn.

  All the cavalry turned in the direction of the great flag at the same time, and the action of the whole team was as smooth as a cloud flowing water, without any forced panic, as if it had been arranged long ago.

  Tu Erhong's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Not good, quickly... pass on the order to launch a counterattack."

  The army of 50,000 finally moved.

  Kou Bao Ying's face also changed, Fang Ling Chen's turn this time, whether it was the timing or the angle, was impeccable. What he will be facing will no longer be the waist of the red ocean, but a head-on collision with that majestic lion who shakes the heavens.

  At this moment, Bao Er had already made up his mind. He waved the horse knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me to kill..."

  With the Huns' horsemanship, they could have easily evaded the sharp blades at this time, but if they did so, they would be far away from the battlefield. If they waited for them to return again, they might only have the share of sweeping the battlefield.

  The Golden Wolf Army is the number one army in the world. The Xiongnu people are proud of this iron army, which has gone through countless battles and finally gained its current reputation. If he did that, he would never be able to hold his head up again in front of his colleagues. This is actually a multiple-choice question with no room for selection.

  At this point, he couldn't help but deeply regret that his sole pursuit of speed had led him to arrive three days early for this crucial battle. However, under his command, there were now only over 30,000 cavalrymen left; would the outcome be worth the cost?

  Two armies of unimpeachable reputation finally clashed together with a fierce impact, countless knights were knocked down by the powerful force. In front of such a large number of cavalry, once fallen off the horse, it meant the end of life, except for that humanoid dragon, no one could survive under the iron hooves of the galloping horses.

  "Red Ocean......" Fang Lingchen suddenly let out a loud roar, his voice echoing throughout the entire team.

  Tens of thousands of people shouted out in unison: "Red Ocean..."

  All the Han people seemed to suddenly become excited, they charged forward on horseback, and the blades in their hands fiercely hacked at the enemy. When their horses fell, they threw themselves up, when their weapons were broken, they used their fists, teeth, and everything that could harm their opponents to fight.

  Their hearts have only one thought: I am a soldier of the red ocean. Their hearts have only one idea, to die for a pawn.
