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

"Thump, thump thump thump..."

The deafening war drums and roars swept in as the allied forces of barbarians and demons besieged the city.

Looking out, the enemy troops outside the city stretched as far as the eye could see.

Barbarians charged in formation, demons roared, and demonic energy mingled with the blood energy of the barbarians, blotting out the sky and creating a suffocating atmosphere that enveloped the entire city.

But what happened next froze everyone on the city wall, catching them completely off guard.

Before the barbarian army, a large number of bound civilians were being driven by barbarian soldiers wielding knives, staggering and surging towards the city wall.

The elderly, women, children, and other unarmed civilians were forcibly pushed to the front lines to serve as human shields in the siege.

"Let us go back."

"Save us!"

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

"..."

The cries were deafening, and the people struggled frantically, trying to break free from their restraints.

"Charge forward if you don't want to die."

"Anyone who dares to stop will be killed without mercy."

"Hurry up, all of you."

"..."

The barbarian soldiers behind them were inhuman, wielding their swords to kill civilians who refused to move forward.

Blood instantly stained the ground, forcing them to approach the city wall step by step.

On the city wall, Li Xuancang looked at the horrific scene before him and gripped his weapon tightly.

Some soldiers' hands trembled, their eyes filled with grief, indignation, and unbearable sorrow.

"What are you all standing there for? Get to work!"

"Fire arrows and kill them!"

"Don't let them get close, or we'll all die."

"..."

The barbarians and demons hid behind the people and quickly approached the city wall. The various forces on the city wall could no longer sit still and roared for orders to attack.

They didn't even care about the hundreds of thousands of civilians who had been there before, let alone these civilians who were used as human shields.

"We can't fire arrows! Our people are below."

"Those barbarian beasts, how could they resort to such a vicious scheme?"

"They are all our compatriots, we cannot intervene."

"..."

Some of the defenders couldn't bear to do it, but they were ultimately only a minority.

"Whoosh, whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Arrows rained down from the sky, and the people at the forefront fell one after another.

"puff!"

"what!"

"Well!"

"..."

The screams were incessant, a truly horrific scene.

The people were caught in a dilemma: to advance meant certain death, and not to advance also meant certain death; their fate was entirely out of their control.

"Charge them!"

With the help of the local people, the barbarians approached the city walls at a minimal cost.

Just as the defending army was thrown into disarray and their minds were in a daze due to the massacre of civilians, the powerful demons behind the lines suddenly launched an attack.

The demons were as agile as ghosts. With their limbs pushing off the ground, they leaped up the city wall in a few swift bounds, stepping over the corpses of the people and the edges of the city wall.

"The demon race has stormed the city!"

The piercing scream completely ignited the chaos.

The defending army was already demoralized due to the massacre of civilians. When the demon clan's powerful warriors suddenly broke through the city, chaos ensued. Their formation collapsed, and the soldiers panicked and fought each other.

"Stop them, drive them away."

"Don't let them climb the city walls."

"Kill them with me."

"..."

The defenders fought desperately, with no way to retreat.

"puff!"

"Bang!"

"boom!"

"..."

The demons brandished their sharp claws, wantonly slaughtering the guards. Blood splattered, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the city gate, the barbarian soldiers who followed behind set up ladders and frantically climbed up the city wall.

The monsters had thick hides and were difficult to harm with swords and blades. They were huge and incredibly strong, and quickly gained a foothold on the city wall. The barbarians behind them swiftly climbed the wall.

Li Xuancang's blood and qi erupted, and he roared fiercely as he picked up his spear.

"Hold the line and defend the city walls to the death."

He took the lead and charged towards the monsters climbing the city wall.

"puff!"

With a swing of his spear, he instantly killed several demonic beasts charging at the forefront.

Li Xuancang fought bravely against the enemy, leading his 500 elite troops to push back the barbarians and demons, aiming to drive them off the city walls.

In other areas, morale was low and fighting broke out on the city walls.

Shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and screams of agony mingled together as the great battle erupted.

The city wall was a living hell, with blood soaking every brick and flowing down the wall.

The monster's claws swept across, each swing sending up a spray of blood. The defending soldiers were powerless to resist, suffering heavy casualties and their formation crumbling.

Many people were so frightened that they abandoned their armor and turned to flee, and the defense line was on the verge of complete collapse.

"Stop right there! Anyone who dares to back down will be court-martialed."

The supervisory team ruthlessly killed some who tried to escape, barely managing to stabilize the collapsing situation.

Li Xuancang went on a killing spree, covered in blood, fighting to the death and refusing to retreat, and he and his soldiers held the northern city firmly.

"Awoo!"

A wolf howl rang out, and a wolf demon, over ten feet tall, with a wolf's head and a human body, jet-black fur, and sharp claws gleaming coldly, stormed up the city wall and pounced on Li Xuancang.

The wolf demon's pupils emitted a fierce crimson light, and its sharp claws, carrying a sharp demonic wind, struck directly at Li Xuancang's head.

Li Xuancang's senses were extraordinary. Sensing danger, his eyes turned cold, and he turned around and threw a punch.

The moment the fist made contact with the wolf demon's claws, a "crack" sounded, and the wolf demon's forelimb bones were broken, causing it to howl in pain.

"Awoo!"

The wolf demon winced in pain, and fear appeared in its scarlet pupils.

It wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

"puff!"

Li Xuancang thrust out his spear, piercing the wolf demon's head and flinging its corpse away.

"Kill him."

Barbarian cultivators and even more demonic beasts charged towards Li Xuancang, but Li Xuancang showed no weakness and took the initiative to attack with just his spear.

"puff!"

"what!"

"roar!"

"..."

After a fierce battle, Li Xuancang killed more than a dozen barbarian cultivators and five demonic beasts.

His armor was riddled with holes, and he was covered in blood, looking like a blood-soaked demon who had emerged from hell.

"So strong."

"Li Xuancang is even more powerful than rumored."

"As expected of the fierce man who killed Huyan Zhuo, he is truly terrifying."

"..."

The powerful figures of the human race couldn't help but be taken aback by Li Xuancang's rampage.

Zhou Xingzhan and the other Qi Refining Realm cultivators also turned their attention to Li Xuancang, whose strength made them feel a slight threat.

"Is he Li Xuancang, the one who killed Huyan Zhuo?"

Among the barbarian army, Wu Xiaotian and the others fixed their murderous gazes on Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang's performance was so outstanding that it was hard for him not to attract attention.

"That's right, he is Li Xuancang."

"Huyan Zhuo died at his hands, and his death was not unjust."

Only then did Wu Xiaotian understand why Huyan Zhuo had died at the hands of an unknown battalion commander. After witnessing Li Xuancang's astonishing strength, he realized that they had wronged Huyan Zhuo.

Li Xuancang was so powerful that Huyan Zhuo was no match for him.

"This child is a prodigy of the human race; we must not let him leave alive."

Wu Xiaotian and his men's killing intent surged, determined to make Li Xuancang die without a burial place.

"Let the army break through from the north gate and kill Li Xuancang."

As soon as Wu Xiaotian gave the order, the main force of the barbarian army swarmed towards the north city, intending to overwhelm the defending troops on the city walls.
