Only Ren Dongliu could confront him head-on.

But after their twentieth encounter, Ren Dongliu’s mouth and nose also began to bleed.

At this moment, atop the gigantic Iron Lizard, Sikong Chan and his wife Han Yuyan’s expressions were extremely solemn, and Songfeng Sword Lin Shi felt a chill all over his body.

The next moment, Iron Madman’s grand sword aura swept across, its sweeping sword movement directly cutting off the lizard’s left leg, causing it to rise on its back and let out a huge scream.

Its body twisted, nearly mad with fury.

Songfeng Sword Lin Shi instinctively fled backwards, having been chased by Tie Xiaosheng for more than seven hundred yards, with severe injuries all over his body, he could not withstand a sword from Iron Madman at this time.

Sikong Chan and Han Yuyan both took to the skies to avoid the crazed lizard.

Then, they transformed into two streaks of light, one green and one white, and bombarded Iron Madman.

The couple realized that if they couldn’t join forces to stop Iron Madman today, the 17,000-strong Inner Mansion Army might very well be defeated by this one man, slaughtered to near extinction.

Sikong Chan, as he neared Iron Madman, drew a white, rainbow-like long sword from its sheath.

His sword movement resembled a Great Sun Golden Crow charging down from the scorching Great Sun.

Clank!

Clank!

Sikong Chan’s figure was blasted away like a meteor.

Yet, his eyes revealed a touch of coldness.

Indeed, as he had expected, Iron Madman was capturing Qi-Blood to sustain the power of ‘Iron Futing’.

The Qi-Blood of ordinary soldiers could not maintain the full combat strength of ‘Iron Futing’.

Only the blood of true masters, their refined Qi-Blood, could help Iron Madman wield this powerful war armor.

So as long as they blocked this man for a moment, this Madman who had rampaged across East State for five or six years would inevitably perish here!

But at this instance, Sikong Chan’s pupils suddenly contracted with rage.

“Iron Madman—you dare!”

What shocked and enraged Sikong Chan was the fate of the governor’s wife, Han Yuyan!

After a fierce exchange with Iron Madman, she was not blasted away.

Han Yuyan’s entire body trembled violently, her bones seemed to have been shattered, leaving her utterly drained of strength.

Her hair bun came undone and spread over her shoulders.

Right then, Iron Madman’s heavy sword was chopping down toward the top of her head.

“You shall not!”

Ren Dongliu flew into action, his great spear surging with countless thunders as he aimed at Iron Madman’s back: “Die!”

Iron Madman sneered coldly, neither dodging nor evading, letting the iron spear pierce through his back.

His heavy sword, however, came crashing down, cleaving Han Yuyan into two halves.

The blood from Han Yuyan’s body was instantly absorbed by Iron Futing, causing the Blood Flames burning outside the armor to grow even more fierce.

At this time, Iron Madman also raised his crimson eyes to look at Governor Sikong Chan.

His will and Qi-Blood could still hold on for a while.

This meant that the battle between them had only just begun.

※※※※

“—In this battle, the Flag Leader killed more than 3,700 soldiers of the Inner Mansion Army, 1,400 salt soldiers, slaughtered the governor’s wife Han Yuyan, the governor’s close attendant Han Long, Deputy Commander of the Inner Mansion Army Liao Gong, Vice Commander of the Inner Mansion Army Ruo Tiandu, Wang Yufei the Salt Inspection Commissioner of Wanglai, and Nanwu Salt Inspection Commissioner Lai Tiande.

He slew six people of Fifth Grade, and in total, seventeen Martial Cultivators of Sixth Grade, and seventy-four of Seventh Rank.

Moreover, Commander of the Imperial Army Ren Dongliu was severely injured, reportedly unable to rise after the great battle, he was carried back on a stretcher.

Governor Sikong Chan was gravely injured, during the battle his right arm and leg were both severed by the Flag Leader, although his limbs were reattached after the battle, he was invaded with Sword Intent and unable to move, avoiding public appearances.”

This was in the evening, within a temporary army tent located thirty-four miles north of Xiushui County.

As Lu Pingyuan’s voice fell, the atmosphere within the tent froze like ice, pin-drop silence ensued.

All the sub-temple masters and leaders of Hunter Village present at the meeting were looking grim.

Most had not had much contact with Iron Madman and couldn’t speak of sorrow, yet they couldn’t help admiring him.

Beyond admiration, everyone was concerned about the future of the Iron Banner Gang and West Mountain Hall.

The expressions on the faces of the leaders of Hunter Village were especially ugly.

They were mostly frowning, their eyes filled with bitterness.

Everyone had considered the consequences of the Flag Leader’s failure to advance.

Yet, with the Iron Banner Gang’s large business and ability to mobilize tens of thousands, the Deputy Flag Master Tie Xiaosheng having reached Fifth Grade.

They had never imagined Governor Sikong Chan would personally step in and strike a heavy blow to the Iron Banner Gang.

—Although, up to now, aside from the death of the Flag Leader and the Ancient Market Hall Master, the Iron Banner Gang had not suffered much.

On the contrary, Governor Sikong Chan lost his wife, and the Inner Mansion Army suffered heavy casualties.

However, everyone realized how dire the situation was for the Iron Banner Gang.

Ji Qianqian and Lu Luanti both looked at the highest seat with a touch of sympathy.

Chu Xisheng was sitting there, his complexion pale as paper, his eyes slightly red.

One hand was tightly pressed on the hilt of his blade, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

“Where’s the Flag Leader?

What has become of him?”

In fact, two hours earlier, Chu Xisheng had already received a message from Tie Xiaosheng, informing him of Iron Madman’s failure to advance.

On the city gate tower of Xiushui County, a banner was hung, proclaiming Iron Madman’s demise.

Yet Chu Xisheng could not believe it, and Tie Xiaosheng’s letter did not mention the outcome of Iron Madman.

Chu Xisheng still clung to the last sliver of hope, hoping Iron Madman could break free from the encirclement of the great army.
