Watching Luo Yan being teleported away, Li Xuan found himself suppressing a headache.

The power of ’Tianji Dihe Yin-Yang Knife’ was indeed formidable, but too easy to counteract.

Luckily, he had a contingency plan in place. He had received a ’Canjiang’ seal from the Ministry of War and the Emperor, as well as Jingtai Emperor’s decree in the event of such a situation.

Li Xuan instantly drew out his ’Kaiyuan’ sword, gathering strength from tens of thousands of soldiers, along with the energy and intensity of more than twenty thousand people at Nankou Pass. He appeared like a shooting star, hurtling towards Zhang Guanlan.

At this moment, his ’Wuqu Pojun’ exuded countless bloody fiends. They gathered together like blood-red chains, winding around his right arm and ’Kaiyuan’ in his right hand, resembling a coiled dragon.

With this slash, Li Xuan leveraged his unbeatable belief and resilient will, escalating his Primordial Spirit’s ideas infinitely and controlling the force of ten thousand armies, to turn everything into nothingness!

However, next, he saw a black armored man standing in front of Zhang Guanlan. This man’s arm became a massive shield of flesh and bone, shielding Zhang Guanlan behind him.

"Bang!"

Li Xuan’s ’Kaiyuan Blade’ smashed the shield of the black-armored man. Its extraordinary sharpness even pierced through the armor of the black-armored man, causing a huge wound.

But to Li Xuan’s surprise, his ’Void Yi’ met a considerable obstruction.

Li Zhetian’s core Yi of the sword was ’nothingness’, where everything turned into nothing when hit by the sword edge.

However, Li Xuan sensed a similar power in the black-armored man’s Wu cultivator intent; both forces countering each other, exhausting each other. This caused the Yi of the sword that Li Xuan infused into the other’s body to be purged quickly.

The double swords of the black-armored man were already raining down on Li Xuan like a storm.

Although he couldn’t control the army’s momentum, he drew energy from the entire battlefield and recovered all his injuries in an instant. Even his black armor was as good as new.

The momentum of the black-armored man was like a beast, extraordinarily fierce and domineering. Those bloody eyes stared at Li Xuan, as if wanting to tear him apart and swallow him alive.

Li Xuan felt a little strange. He sensed that the Yi of the sword of this black-armored man was similar to his current Void Yi, and the intent rushing over seemed to contain an endless amount of hatred and spite.

Could it be?

A vague guess had formed in Li Xuan’s mind, but he still needed more evidence to confirm it.

At this time, there was no benefit in overthinking, so Li Xuan immediately eliminated all extraneous thoughts. He calmly responded. He turned the Void sword into his own ’ice-thunder blade’, and the ’Kaiyuan sword’ and ’Bixue Leique Sword’ in his hand slashed out more than seven hundred times in an instant, using speed against speed.

The four long swords from both sides burst out countless shadow blades in a small area. Sparks flew out sporadically, and the sharp and pure gazes of the swords stretched out thousands of feet. The dispelled Zhenyuan Gangqi from both sides was majestic and vast, and filled the canyon, devastating everything.

The Mongolian Iron Cavalry around them had no place to hide and could only retreat to a farther distance. Their arrows were shot towards Li Xuan, but most of them were torn apart by the qi of the two’s swords.

The remaining ones splattered sparks against Li Xuan’s body, making continuous ’tingling’ sounds.

At this time, even the Mongolian god archer from the Fourth Gate was helpless against him.

Their arrows could break through Li Xuan’s Golden Body, but the Golden Body was not just a defense, it also had recovery abilities. Even minor injuries could be healed quickly with just his breath. He didn’t even need to use the power of Lv Qiluo.

This allowed Li Xuan to completely ignore the threats around him and concentrate on fighting Li Zhetian.

Ashitiemuer at his side looked at it all and couldn’t help frowning: "Heavenly Master, you should have gotten rid of this guy first."

That Luo Yan, at most, belongs to the Fourth Gate, or the False Heavenly Position, even if he stays, he can’t shake the battlefield.

But this Li Xuan controlling the force of ten thousand armies has already reached the heavenly level, and his Martial Law is especially suitable for the battlefield, clearly making him much more troublesome than Luo Yan.

Especially the big battle between these two, which is hindering their siege.

The formation of his Iron Cavalry has been destroyed, not only unable to cover the city with arrow rain but also having to use the mountains on both sides of the canyon for travel.

—— Only in this way can they avoid being affected by the qi of the two heavenly positions.

Zhang Guanlan glanced at Ashitiemuer: "I wish I could, unfortunately, I don’t have a full prosperity void magical instrument."

Sending away Luo Yan and Li Xuan are two entirely different challenges.

Zhang Guanlan estimated that even a fully prosperous top-grade void magical instrument might not be able to achieve that.

At this moment, he was a little hesitant, but in the end, he took out fifteen stone arrow towers the size of a palm and threw them to a place eight miles in front of Nankou Pass.

These stone arrow towers were like those ’Giant Spirit Statues’, which increased in size due to the wind, and in an instant, grew to twenty feet tall, forming fifteen majestic arrow towers about a hundred feet wide each.

The key is that these stone arrow towers can withstand the qi of the swords of Li Xuan and Zhang Tianyuan.

Only that gate inside Nankou Pass, which had a range of 350 miles, couldn’t resist. The bombs they shot could pierce these vast arrow towers but could not blow them up.

The only real threat to them was Xue Yunrou on the opposite side. Her eyes were slightly cold, and then the ’Primordial Slay Demon Swords’ like a Jiao Dragon, slashed out from her back, sweeping the stone arrow platforms into dust in one sweep.

Surprise flashed in Zhang Guanlan’s eyes. He never anticipated that an opponent with heavenly level power achieved through external forces would still have the excess ability to wield the ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’ after suppressing the platform and controlling the statues.

The next moment, two streams of sword radiance, one red and the other radiant, streaked out from his sleeves, leaving two rainbow trails in the sky.

The quality of these trails was far inferior to that of the ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’. Yet, Zhang Guanlan’s superior swordsmanship and formidable Mana compensated for this deficiency. Once in the sky, the trails entangled and clashed with each other like four warring dragons.

Xue Yunrou’s ’Zhengyi Fumo Sword’, having demolished nine archer towers in succession, was then entangled by the two rainbow trails and was rendered powerless.

At this time, Zhang Guanlan’s face displayed some strain, "Prince, please send your men to the platform swiftly. Each of these six archer towers can accommodate 1,500 soldiers, which should be sufficient for you."

Ashitiemuer frowned slightly, and began to arrange for his elite archers to mount the towers.

The six towers could only accommodate 9,000 archers, a number somewhat less than ideal, but better than none.

Next, Ashitiemuer, with a shield in one hand and his sabre in the other, launched himself into the air.

Zhang Guanlan instinctively felt uneasy. He recalled what the cloaked figure in black had told him about a powerful Wu cultivator who could remain undetectable to everyone.

At this point, he had exhausted all his Mana and didn’t have any strength left. He needed someone to protect him.

However, before Zhang Guanlan could voice his concern, Ashitiemuer had already joined the intense battle engaged by Li Xuan and Zhang Tianyuan.

Although his cultivation achieved was on the False Heavenly level, he had managed to embody the force of 60,000 cavalry in one blow. The swift and sharp light from his sabre was as mighty as a surge of ten thousand armies. His round iron shield was sheer dominance, whether used for parrying or blocking, it scattered Li Xuan’s sabre light into disarray.

Teamed up with Zhang Tianyuan, even though their coordination was not seamless, they were able to corner Li Xuan in less than three breaths.

Zhang Guanlan closed his mouth. He recognized that Ashitiemuer’s morale had become unstable.

The siege was losing momentum. After losing the cover of arrows, tens of thousands of cavalry were unable to ascend the city walls. The Jin Army, hiding behind the parapet, continuously fired cannons and rifles, killing the courageous Mongolian Knights one by one.

The Prince of Vala could no longer bear this heavy loss, he was desperate for a swift resolution.

At this moment, Zhang Guanlan had a method to protect himself.

An expression of pain crossed his face, and then he swung his sleeves. As nine purple-gold paper figures slipped out, they instantly transformed into nine golden-armored guards, forming a formation of Nine Palaces, protecting him from all sides.

Li Xuan staggered back nearly twenty feet after being hit hard by the black-armored man’s long sabre smack in his chest.

His right chest bore a blade scar that almost pierced his heart.

The saber of the black-armored man seemed to consider the double-layer barrier of Li Xuan’s Tai Yan Divine Shield and Xuanwu Heart-protecting Mirror as ’void’, and directly made a saber wound on his chest.

"Are you Li Zhetian?"

Li Xuan was unable to control his astonishment. This Knife Demon who could dominate the world, was supposedly dead by his hand, and a part of his soul was also harvested by his ’Wuqu Pojun’.

Xue Yunrou, standing far away on the city wall, also heard this sentence. Her pupils dilated as she locked her gaze onto the black-armored man.

She had long been keeping an eye on this man.

She would never forget Li Zhetian’s ’Void Blade’!

There was a touch of confusion in the black-armored man’s eyes. He felt that this name was very familiar.

However, immediately afterward, the black-armored man dismissed this thought. His offensive became more fierce, and with his double sabres, he stirred up a storm of blades.

Li Xuan was almost submerged in the sabre light coming from the two men, and was forced to adopt a defensive stance, struggling to cope.

Even so, the two men kept slashing at him, leaving deep wounds on his body.

"Be careful," Lv Qiluo warned, appearing next to him, "You have less than two months to live. It takes at least four months to break through to the eighth house level. I can’t help you recover anymore."

Li Xuan could feel the power Lv Qiluo had channeled into his body was leaving, greatly slowing his wound healing.

However, there was no panic in his heart.

Seeing this, Lv Qiluo felt strange. "Are you planning to use the Wu’s soul of ’Wuqu’ and ’Pojun’? I recommend that you shouldn’t. You have only just subdued them. At this moment, your mind and cultivation have only reached the seventh house level. You’re not yet capable of controlling them. To use them rashly would leave a great risk."

In Lv Qiluo’s view, only Wuqu Pojun could help Li Xuan turn the tide at this point.

The Wu’s soul of ’Wuqu’ and ’Pojun’ was the greatest value of Wuqu Pojun.

The Wuyi of Lan Yu and Fu Youde, both approaching the God Realm, were far stronger than Li Zhetian. If Li Xuan tried to merge with their evil spirits at this time, he would once again risk facing backlashes.

The key was that this guy already exhausted all the heavenly level Zhenyuan in the ’Four Images Refining Primordial Furnace’. How could he still employ Wuqu Pojun?

Li Xuan just shook his head slightly, "It hasn’t come to this yet. Look at the back, the outcome of today’s battle has already been determined."

When Lv Qiluo looked back immediately, her consciousness locked onto Xuanchenzi and her gaze revealed a touch of surprise.
