My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

"Waaaaah..."

A loud bugle call sounded, and the barbarians launched a full-scale attack.

"kill!"

The barbarians, their eyes blazing with madness and utterly fearless, surged towards the human army like a tidal wave.

"roar!"

Hundreds of demonic beasts roared thunderously from within the barbarian army.

Some of the monsters were enormous, reaching four or five meters in height, and their appearance alone was enough to make one tremble with fear and unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Each of these demonic beasts possessed a cultivation level at least comparable to the Body Tempering Realm. The sight of hundreds of demonic beasts appearing together was awe-inspiring and chilling.

"The monsters are attacking! What should we do?"

"The monsters are ferocious; we can't possibly be their match."

"Ah, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"

"..."

Seeing the rapidly approaching monsters, the morale of the human race collapsed, and the conscripted soldiers were thrown into chaos and panic.

"Don't panic, stay calm."

"They're just a bunch of beasts, what's there to fear?"

"Hold on tight! Anyone who retreats without permission will be executed, and their entire family will be implicated."

"..."

The supervisory team acted swiftly, their long swords gleaming coldly as they shouted orders, calming the panicked crowd.

"roar!"

Amidst the panic, a magnificent tiger leaped up and charged into the defensive line.

It was more than three times the size of an ordinary tiger, exuding the terrifying aura of the king of beasts. With its blood-red maw wide open, a stench wafted out.

"No, don't come any closer!"

"Help me! Someone please help me!"

"I want to go home, I want to go home."

"..."

Facing the demonic tiger head-on, even some soldiers were terrified and completely collapsed.

"call out!"

Just as the morale of the human race was about to collapse, a beam of gunfire came hurtling from hundreds of meters away.

"puff!"

Many people were still unaware of what had happened when the demon tiger's head was pierced, blood splattered, and its massive body collapsed to the ground.

"roar!"

The demon tiger convulsed, let out a weak roar, and died moments later.

"It was Captain Zhou; he made the move."

First there was a deathly silence, then erupted into thunderous cheers.

Everyone looked in the direction of Zhou Xingzhan, who was still in the stance of drawing his spear, the tip of which was aimed directly at the demon tiger.

"How terrifying! Is this the power of the Qi Refining Realm?"

Li Xuancang was greatly impressed and deeply moved.

A single spear strike from four or five hundred meters away killed a demonic tiger that was at least at the Bone Forging Realm; such strength was truly terrifying.

If Zhou Xingzhan wanted to attack him, it would be no different than crushing an ant.

"My strength is still too weak, I can't afford to be complacent."

A deep sense of apprehension rose in Li Xuancang's eyes, and the slight smugness he felt after being promoted to squad leader vanished instantly.

Although he possesses some strength, he is no match for true powerhouses and needs to remain in hiding.

"kill!"

Zhou Xingzhan killed the demon tiger with a single move, which greatly boosted the morale of the human race. The morale of the army, which was on the verge of collapse, was stabilized, and they roared to fight against the barbarians.

"Charge in and take whatever you want."

"Kill them all, and everything humanity owns will be ours."

"Food and beauties await us; follow me and slaughter!"

"..."

Countless barbarian soldiers, carrying ladders and pushing battering rams, surged towards the pass like a tidal wave.

The cultivators at the Body Tempering Realm led the charge, while the demonic beasts roared and charged ahead, their sharp claws and fangs tearing apart everything in their path.

"Loose the arrows! Provide full-scale fire!"

The humans launched a counterattack, raining down arrows like a storm.

Logs and stones rained down from the city walls, crushing the barbarian's charging formation. Limbs and severed arms flew everywhere, and blood stained the earth red.

The defending general shouted a stern order, and a volley of arrows was fired. Each volley took the lives of many barbarians.

However, the number of barbarians was simply too great. When the front ranks fell, the rear ranks immediately took their place. Fearless of death, they charged all the way to the pass.

They began climbing the city walls, and the two sides engaged in close-quarters combat.

"Ding!"

"what!"

"Click!"

"..."

The clanging of blades against metal, the screams of soldiers, the roars of barbarians, and the howls of monsters engulfed Cangyun Ridge.

Smoke filled the air, blood stained the sky, and the pungent, overwhelming stench of blood permeated the atmosphere.

The defending troops held their ground, relying on the strategic location of the pass, and refused to yield an inch of the city wall, turning every inch of the city wall into a battlefield of blood and flesh.

However, the two sides were vastly outnumbered, and the barbarians were aided by demonic beasts in their attacks, causing the defenders to suffer increasing casualties.

The soldiers in the front ranks fell one after another, the defensive line was attacked time and time again, and was retaken time and time again with desperate efforts. The corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed like rivers, slowly flowing down the mountain road.

The pass where Li Xuancang was stationed was the main target of the barbarians' attack, and the pressure was immense.

The barbarian cultivators, leading their valiant barbarian soldiers, launched continuous attacks.

Hang in there, everyone.

"Block them, don't let them in."

"Hold on, everyone!"

"..."

Wang Xuanshan shouted at the top of his lungs, but the defense line was still teetering on the brink of collapse.

"kill!"

Li Xuancang single-handedly held off ten thousand men, protecting a ten-meter radius around him and preventing the barbarians from crossing the line.

He was covered in blood; more than twenty barbarians had died by his spear, their corpses littering the area around him.

"Who is this person? Such formidable fighting power."

"This child possesses immense strength; could he be born with superhuman strength?"

"This level of power surpasses that of most squad leaders?"

"..."

Li Xuancang's performance was so outstanding that it drew the attention of many.

They recognized Li Xuancang as a squad leader based on his attire, but Li Xuancang's strength was something many squad leaders were ashamed of.

"kill!"

Li Xuancang roared and charged out with his gun.

"puff!"

The spear, imbued with terrifying power, pierced the chest of a barbarian soldier.

With a backhand sweep, the gun barrel smashed down on two people, the movement swift, ruthless, and brutal.

He seemed unaware of fatigue, having killed dozens of people, yet he continued to fight bravely, showing no signs of exhaustion.

"Kill him!"

The barbarian cultivators, their eyes bloodshot, charged at him. One of them, a cultivator in the early stage of Body Tempering, swung his sword at him, but he dodged with incredible speed, and then pierced the other's throat with a spear.

"Well!"

The barbarian's throat was pierced, and blood flowed freely. He instinctively covered his throat with both hands, trying to stop the bleeding, but all his efforts were in vain.

"Die!"

Several barbarian warriors at the Body Tempering Realm attacked and besieged Li Xuancang.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang shuddered, unleashing his full power without reservation.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

After a fierce battle, he killed all four barbarians at the Body Tempering Realm with his spear.

Li Xuancang did not stop there. Like a blood-soaked war god, he charged back and forth through the chaotic army.

Wherever he went, barbarians fell to the ground. His soldiers were inspired by his fighting spirit and fought desperately to hold the line.
