Qi Tian climbed onto the boundary wall, once again standing at the highest point of the City Gate Tower, looking towards the distant camp of the Chi Di people. He had once infiltrated this large camp, so he knew where the stone-throwers were located. Even if he hadn’t been there, the stone-throwers were so massive that they were easy to spot.

Qi Tian clearly saw teams of Chi Di people busily working around the stone-throwers, and some had already started to operate them. On this side of the boundary wall, the soldiers defending Great Zhao watched the Chi Di people bustling about. Everyone was worried for in the previous days, the Chi Di had used these stone-throwers to hurl stones weighing thousands of pounds – an event still fresh in their memories – making them terrified.

Qi Tian noticed the unease of the frontier soldiers, but he did not personally console them. There were tens of thousands of frontier soldiers up and down the boundary wall, he alone could’t possibly comfort them all. Besides, this was a battlefield between two countries, death was just the norm. He could generally ensure that fewer people died on the side of Tongmen West Pass, but specifically, he really couldn’t promise too much. He could never become a meticulous caretaker, guaranteeing the safety of every frontier soldier.

Qi Tian gazed into the distance, watching the Chi Di people working silently. In his heart, he was counting quietly. He had already drained most of the Spirit Qi from the runes carved on the stone-throwers. If the Chi Di people wanted to use the stone-throwers for some ordinary operation, there wouldn’t be a problem. However, if they wanted to use the stone-throwers to hurl things, then that would be fun to watch.

Qi Tian could see that after the Chi Di people had adjusted the stone-throwers, they began to move things next to them. He could see that those things were not stones, but barrels filled with oil.

Qi Tian’s eyes narrowed slightly. The last time he sneaked into the Chi Di’s main camp, he carved runes on these barrels. He reckoned this was the right thing to do. He was excited to see what surprises these tampered barrels would bring.

At this moment, Qi Tian saw several stone-throwers being pulled down. The Chi Di people lifted the barrels, preparing to place them inside the thrower. Then he saw the stone-throwers start to shake. Immediately, some of them were directly crushed, some had their thrower detached from the machine, and some tipped over to one side.

All the stone-throwers couldn’t escape this misfortune. Those light caresses to the machines looked like collapsing small hills, pressing towards the surrounding Chi Di people.

The Chi Di camp was in chaos, with many people pressed under the stone-throwers. Even though these stone-throwers were made shoddily, they were still ten meters high. How many Chi Di people could withstand this?

Immediately, the Chi Di camp was in turmoil. Many of the outer Chi Di people rushed over, preparing to save people. At this moment, someone unintentionally knocked over a barrel filled with oil. The barrel rolled on the ground and hit another barrel.

Both barrels were unfortunate enough to have been messed with by Qi Tian. The two barrels collided, and the force of the collision activated the Spirit Qi in the runes. The runes immediately started to burn. At first, it was just a tiny, almost invisible flame, but within less than ten seconds, it began to explode. These were barrels full of oil, subjected to this kind of exploding fire. One can imagine, what the consequences would be?

“Not good, there’s a leak.” A Chi Di person noticed the exploding barrel and shouted in panic.

Before the words had fallen, the two exploding barrels made a loud bang, bursting open. The burning oil, the shattered barrels sprayed everywhere. They were like fuses, wherever they landed, they created a small fire field.

This was the Chi Di’s stone-thrower camp. Just now, a lot of oil barrels had been moved there, and the main material of the stone-throwers was flammable wood. In almost no time, this place had become a major fire field.

Many of the barrels were ignited and began to explode one after another. Immediately, the fire became more and more severe, completely out of control.

The soldiers of the Great Zhao frontier army on the boundary wall watched all this, first dumbfounded, but then started to cheer. They did not know why the Chi Di camp had become like this, but undoubtedly, they were all happy to see these scenes – the enemy’s disaster is their own celebration.

Even Qi Tian nodded in satisfaction. He had anticipated these results earlier, but the effect was surprisingly good, even better than he had imagined. If he could let the fire spread a bit more and explode more barrels, especially if it could set off the ones stored in the warehouses, then the Chi Di’s camp would be ruined.

However, before Qi Tian could even rejoice, two cultivators suddenly flew out from the middle of the Chi Di’s main camp. They were sword-flying into the sky above the raging fire. One of the Chi Di men threw out an umbrella that grew enormously against the wind, instantly as big as several tens of square meters. Snowflakes flew from beneath the umbrella, and fell into the fire. Wherever the snowflakes passed, the temperature dropped sharply, and even the unstoppable fire was significantly affected.

The other Chi Di man also wasn’t idle. He flung a gourd upwards with its mouth facing down. Streams of water flowed out of it, pouring onto the raging fire below. This water must not be ordinary water, it could actually extinguish the fire caused by oil.
