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

While dealing with the enemy's fierce attacks, Li Xuancang also assessed the situation.

"I can't hold on any longer, should I leave?"

The human race suffered repeated defeats, and most of the city walls had already fallen, making the fall inevitable.

His mind raced, and he hesitated whether to leave the battlefield and flee Xuanyang City with his family.

Li Xuancang looked up at Zhou Xingzhan and the others who were fighting to the death, and had some guesses in his mind.

"Zhou Xingzhan and his men fought to the death, do they have a backup plan?"

Based on Li Xuancang's understanding of Zhou Xingzhan, this man was definitely not the kind of person who would sacrifice his life for the sake of the people.

The situation is now extremely precarious, yet Zhou Xingzhan is fighting to the death and refusing to retreat. Li Xuancang suspects that he still has a backup plan to turn the tide.

"If that's the case, I can't leave yet."

After making some guesses, Li Xuancang decided to wait and see for the time being.

If he escapes now, and Xuan Yang City holds out, he will be labeled a deserter, all his benefits will be revoked, and his whole family will be wanted and prosecuted.

The cost is too high; Li Xuancang needs to be cautious.

"The city walls cannot be defended; retreat back into the city."

After a day and a night of fighting, the city walls were completely breached, and the people had no choice but to retreat back into the city and defend it to the death.

"Bang!"

Li Xuancang knocked back a giant demon with a single punch and rushed down the city wall without looking back.

"Don't even think about leaving."

"Chase after him, don't let him get away."

"Kill them!"

"..."

Li Xuancang is a man that the barbarians and demons are determined to kill. They are relentlessly pursuing him and intend to kill him here.

The endless battles were taking a toll on Li Xuancang; had he not received a power boost, he would have been completely exhausted.

His body was covered with wounds of varying depths, dripping with blood, and he looked extremely gruesome.

"Run!"

Of the dozen or so humans who had reached the Blood Condensation Realm, only three remained. All the others had died in battle, and some had been devoured alive by powerful demons.

Li Xuancang was surrounded by the enemy not far after he escaped.

"Li Xuancang, you can't go anywhere."

The enemy launched another round of attacks. Li Xuancang felt excruciating pain in his tendons and bones, and each punch was difficult to throw.

"What exactly is Zhou Xingzhan's backup plan? I can't hold on much longer."

Li Xuancang was extremely anxious. If Zhou Xingzhan didn't use his backup plan soon, he would flee at all costs.

"Hahaha, he's exhausted, kill him."

The barbarians, seeing Li Xuancang's weakness, burst into laughter, their eyes flashing with ferocity. They all unleashed their full power and pounced on him, determined to kill him completely.

"Boom, rumble..."

At that moment, the earth trembled violently, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting apart.

The deafening sound of horses' hooves and war drums came from outside the city, and dust billowed up, obscuring half the sky.

A huge banner embroidered with "Anzhou Army" fluttered in the strong wind.

The reinforcements from Anju finally arrived.

The densely packed elite troops of Anzhou, like a black torrent, swept in from the wilderness outside the city.

The armor gleamed coldly, the aura of war soared to the heavens, and the blood and qi merged into one, their oppressive power sweeping across the entire battlefield.

"kill!"

At the command of the leading general, ten thousand arrows were unleashed, a rain of arrows that blotted out the sky, heading straight for the allied forces of the barbarian and demon races.

The barbarian and demon armies that had been attacking the city were instantly stunned by this overwhelming momentum, their offensive came to an abrupt halt, and they looked at the army rushing to their aid outside the city with fear on their faces.

The Anzhou army was an elite force on the border, with abundant troops and excellent equipment, far surpassing the remnants of the Xuanyang City army. At this moment, the arrival of these divine soldiers completely disrupted the allied forces' formation.

"This is bad! The main force of the Anzhou army has been mobilized. We're in danger!"

Wu Xiaotian's expression changed drastically. The Anzhou army that appeared numbered more than 30,000, almost all of them. This was not a simple reinforcement, but an attempt to wipe them out.

"Retreat! Retreat now!"

Wu Xiaotian immediately ordered a retreat, intending to leave the demon race to cover their retreat.

They were originally an allied force, fighting independently and distrusting each other. Now that human reinforcements have suddenly arrived, they will surely suffer heavy losses if the fighting continues.

In order to minimize their own losses, the demon race must withstand the wrath of the human race.

"The demon soldiers will cover the rear, while our barbarian army will retreat first."

After giving the order, Wu Xiaotian immediately commanded his troops to turn around and run away, completely disregarding the lives of the demon race.

"Why should we cover the rear? You barbarians should be the ones staying behind to hold the rear."

The great demon was furious and refused to agree. He immediately ordered his demon tribe to flee, running even faster than the barbarians.

The allied forces, which had been so arrogant just moments before, instantly descended into chaos and infighting, fleeing in all directions, completely losing their previous ferocity.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

The barbarian soldiers and demon warriors who had scaled the city walls were terrified and fled in panic, running away with the main force.

The defeat was irreversible.

"Hurry up and go."

Even with the advantage, and even if they could kill Li Xuancang in no time, the Barbarian Blood Condensation Realm cultivator had no choice but to give up and flee immediately.

"Huff, huff..."

Li Xuancang gasped for breath. If the barbarians and demons didn't retreat soon, he would really die here.

"Surround them, don't let a single one escape."

As the barbarian and demon armies fled in disarray and trampled each other, the tremors between heaven and earth intensified.

The main force of the Anzhou army mobilized all its elite troops, with iron cavalry arrayed in formation, infantry as numerous as mountains, swords and spears like a forest, and banners obscuring the sun, forming a net of tens of thousands of men.

The combined forces of barbarians and demons were trapped in the wilderness outside Xuanyang City.

The powerful sects, experts from the prefectures, and veteran cultivators all appeared in Anzhou Prefecture, their auras surging, and they joined forces to block the barbarians and demon clan experts.

The commander of the Anzhou army had an astonishing presence; his voice was like a booming bell, resounding throughout the entire battlefield.

"You barbarian brats, do you really think that our human race's abandonment of the border defenses and retreat to Xuan Yang City is a cowardly defeat? Today is your death day, kill them all!"

At his command, dozens of Qi Refining Realm experts behind him swarmed forward, surrounding and attacking Wu Xiaotian and his group.

From the very beginning, Xuan Yang County was a deadly trap set up for the barbarians and demons.

By deliberately feigning weakness and luring the enemy deep into their territory, they were drawn to commit their main forces away from the remote mountains and border strongholds.

Once they enter the encirclement, we will uproot them completely and eliminate any future threats to the border.

This plan was both audacious and brutal, and during this period, countless people in Xuanyang County were massacred.

However, the bigwigs who made the plan didn't care at all. In their eyes, human life was worthless, and no matter how many died, it was just an insignificant number.

"Damn it, we've been tricked."

Wu Xiaotian and the others turned ashen-faced, their eyes filled with disbelief and overwhelming regret, before they finally realized what had happened.

From the moment they breached the border defenses and launched a fierce attack on Xuanyang City, they had already fallen into the trap set by the Anzhou army.

The imperial court and the Anzhou army had long been aware of their ambitions, so they deliberately abandoned the outer defenses, reduced their forces, and held Xuanyang City to the death.

Let Xuanyang City serve as bait, hold back the main force of the allied forces, and wear down their morale.

All this was to wait for the main force of Anzhou and the strongmen of the prefecture to gather in order to complete this decisive battle of trapping the enemy like turtles in a jar and annihilating them all.

"Kill! Leave no one alive, annihilate the main force of the barbarian demon race."

Du Tianfeng led the charge and fought his way out, triggering a counterattack by the human race.

"Boom, rumble..."

The Anzhou cavalry charged into battle, their hooves crushing the enemy formation, their spears thrusting straight ahead, invincible in their path.

The powerful figures of Anzhou Prefecture unleashed their attacks, unleashing spells, sword energy, and saber energy... a torrent of attacks.

Inside Xuan Yang City, everyone was exhausted. Even though they knew this was a good opportunity to attack from both sides, they didn't have the strength to make a move.
