Free Web NovelAccompanied by the thunderous sound of war drums, the war-torn battlefield instantly fell into chaos.
On the battlefield, after hearing Dragon Tang's shouts, Shen Baiwei didn't think much and ran towards the city gate.
What is there to hesitate about?
In the God Kingdom Jade Gate a thousand years later, she had personally witnessed the slaughter caused by the revived Shaman King and knew how terrifying the Shaman King’s power was.
And now, what was about to appear was the Shaman King in his prime!
However, it was not easy to cross the battlefield and reach the city wall of Yumen Pass.
In front, driven by the fear and despair created by the out-of-control Lu Yibei, tribal warriors, who were rushing towards death in an attempt to find a glimmer of hope in it, were falling like straw blown by the wind under the Longxiang Army Armored Soldier’s attack, their numbers rapidly decreasing from over ten thousand to less than two thousand in less than an hour.
Below the city wall, as far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere, with hardly any place to step.
Below the city wall, two thousand people huddled together, treading over dismembered limbs and broken flesh, even engaging in close combat with their companions, stepping on living comrades who were still calling for help, all just to get a little closer to that slim chance of survival.
And as the war drums beat and the news of the Shaman King’s impending arrival spread, some of these two thousand people placed their hope of survival on the rear, beginning to turn back towards the battlefield.
Some wanted to go forward, some wanted to turn back, some were still afraid, and some were ready for a desperate struggle... Everyone gathered together, how chaotic it was!
On the outskirts of the battlefield, Shen Baiwei, carrying the unconscious Lu Yibei, drove the last large truck, speeding along like an enraged beast departing.
Actually, her driving skills were terrible; she could barely manage an ordinary car, but a heavy vehicle like a large truck left her somewhat helpless.
However...
In the current situation, driving skills no longer mattered.
“Damn it! Get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way!”
Shen Baiwei roared, stomped the accelerator to the floor, and charged into the chaotic crowd.
In her ears, the dull thuds of collisions, the piercing sounds of weapons scraping and breaking, and the horrifying screams rose and fell.
Before her eyes, glaring red blood, internal organs, and shredded flesh flew through the rolling thick smoke.
In the air, the choking smell of charring mixed with the nauseating stench of blood, surging.
The information and intense impact from her sight, hearing, and smell rushed into Shen Baiwei’s mind all at once, making her brain short-circuit as if, temporarily falling into a blank state.
It was as if she was like many people on the battlefield who, facing countless deaths, became numb, dazed, like walking corpses.
By the time she stood beside Dragon Tang, she couldn't even recall how she had crawled out after the big truck overturned in the crowd beneath the city wall, nor could she remember how she had carried the unconscious Lu Yibei through the vast crowds and climbed onto the city wall.
Only her moon-white robe, dyed dark red with blood, the bloody holes left by arrows on her shoulders, the gruesome, bone-deep wounds on her back, her hands trembling uncontrollably from the slaughter and intense Spiritual Energy consumption, and the fear and reverence in the dodging eyes of the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers... silently recounted her journey through the chaotic crowd and up the city wall.
Looking at Shen Baiwei, who was covered in blood, her expression dazed, yet still clutching Lu Yibei tightly, Dragon Tang frowned, patted her shoulder, and said, “Miss Shen, this is not a place to linger. Retreat with me?”
When Dragon Tang’s words rang in Shen Baiwei’s ears, startling her from her dazed state, her stomach immediately cramped, and she felt on the verge of vomiting.
It must be said that the horrors created by a war were even more shocking and nauseating than the “waste room” where Tethys Laboratory piled corpses.
Seeing this, Dragon Tang extended his hands towards the pale and dazed Shen Baiwei, “Little Shen, let me take her? You are now...”
“...” Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the urge to vomit, Shen Baiwei looked at Dragon Tang, shook her head, and hugged Lu Yibei in her arms even tighter.
“No need.”
Her appearance was like a child who didn't want their beloved doll to be taken away.
Dragon Tang looked at Shen Baiwei, then at Lu Yibei in her arms, sighed silently, turned around, and walked towards the arrow tower not far away, raising the military flag planted on the arrow tower, and shouted to the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers on the city wall, “Everyone listen to my command...”
“Archers and crossbowmen stay to provide support for our comrades outside the city; the rest of the soldiers will retreat with me to the North of the city!”
Military orders are absolute.
As Dragon Tang’s words fell, except for the remaining two hundred archers and the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers responsible for operating the Alchemy crossbows on the thirty-six arrow towers, everyone began to move, dragging their weary and wounded bodies to prepare for retreat.
Any reluctance was due to the cold corpses of their comrades beside them, which they had no time to take with them.
“Rumble—!”
As the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers on the city wall finished their preparations and began to withdraw from the wall, deafening hoofbeats came from the battlefield.
On the city wall, Shen Baiwei, who was walking side by side with Dragon Tang, stopped upon hearing the sound, turned to look outside the city, and saw over three hundred Long Xiang Army cavalry, like a line of dark tide, surging from the edge of her vision.

“Kill—!”
Shouts echoed. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
A dozen breaths later, the Long Xiang Army cavalry had already charged to the foot of the city wall.
In a flash, the surging “black tide” crashed fiercely upon the remaining soldiers beneath the city wall.
The clash of the two armies erupted in a tremendous roar, as if the earth itself trembled.
The nearly two thousand tribal warriors who had no time to escape instinctively raised their weapons to counterattack.
However, with just one contact, they realized something was wrong.
Their blades struck the cavalry's armor, making their hands numb, but only elicited a horse's neigh, failing to injure the Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers in the slightest.
These more than three hundred Long Xiang Army cavalry were all Psychic, and at this moment, with the authority of the flood dragon, they were elites capable of directly engaging the monsters under the Shaman King’s command. Naturally, these remaining soldiers were no match for them.
Before they could think further, they were already impaled by spears and tossed ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) into the air, then heavily slammed to the ground and trampled into a bloody pulp by the iron cavalry that followed closely behind.
Thus, under the cover of archers and crossbows, after two charges by the cavalry, back and forth.
None of the tribal warriors beneath the city wall survived...
After the charge, Dragon Xiang, holding a dripping spear, rode his horse to the front of the more than three hundred Long Xiang Army cavalry. He finally couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the city wall.
The moment his gaze turned, his eyes met Dragon Tang's on the city wall.
“Big Brother!”
A soft cry came, and Dragon Xiang’s heart trembled. He quickly withdrew his gaze and waved his hand, his back to Dragon Tang.

Why haven't you retreated yet? Are you ignoring my words?
However, being able to see that kid one last time isn't so bad!
Heh! I always taught people not to be weak in battle, not to be distracted by personal feelings, but I didn't expect that when it came to me, I would break the rules...
Dragon Xiang thought to himself mockingly, then coldly shouted, “Get lost! Who’s your big brother? Your big brother froze to death a few winters ago!”
Dragon Tang, “...”
————
The Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers on the city wall quickly all withdrew, including those archers who followed Dragon Tang in retreat, leaving only twenty or so injured veteran soldiers who replaced the younger armored soldiers operating the crossbows and remained on the city wall.
Dragon Tang had tried to persuade them, but it was useless.
As they put it, this war had taken their loved ones, their health, everything they had. Now, with a chance to personally put an end to this war, being told to retreat was worse than death.
As hundreds of monstrous “monsters” pursued, a dark cloud swiftly enveloped the battlefield, with countless lightning bolts emerging from within, and several winged monsters hidden in the clouds.
When the Shaman King, driving a chariot pulled by monstrous beasts, emerged from the throng of monsters and calmly gazed into the distance, a heart-pounding Spiritual Energy surged.
Like the sudden opening of the gates of hell, anger, despair, resentment... surged from behind that gate, transforming into an invisible torrent.
“Attack the city.”
He said it lightly.
At his command, hundreds of “monsters” charged into the formation.
On the other side.
Seeing this, Dragon Xiang gripped his spear and said, “Everyone, this is our last battle. Are you afraid?”
“No fear!”
“Very good!” Dragon Xiang nodded, gathered his Spiritual Energy, and roared with the loudest voice he had ever used, “Then, follow this King... to kill the enemy!”
As his voice fell, the spear in his hand pointed straight ahead, a fierce light surging from it, piercing the sky and rising, breaking through the dark clouds gathered in the sky, allowing a few faint yellow moonbeams to fall upon the earth.
“Yes!”
The three hundred plus Long Xiang Army cavalry shouted in unison, their high-pitched voices filled with soaring battle intent, seeming to pierce the clouds.
Causing the flying dust in mid-air to stir.
In that unified roar, Dragon Xiang leaped from his horse, landing among the throng of “monsters.” His spear swept horizontally, spewing fierce light, as if drawing a forbidden zone no mortal could tread, clearing a hundred-meter-diameter open space.
Immediately after, he tightened his grip on the spear, slowly raised his head, his gaze locked onto the ominous, burly figure, his eyes wide with fury.
“Do you... dare to fight me?!”
A long roar, like thunder, stirred gusts of wind, followed by terrifying Spiritual Energy surging. A massive, fish-like, dragon-like phantom rose from behind Dragon Xiang amidst deafening dragon roars, bringing forth clouds and rain, instantly shrouding the entire battlefield in a torrential downpour.
In the distance, the Shaman King on the battlefield sneered, “Hmph, you don’t know what’s good for you!”
As his voice fell, he slowly stepped down from his chariot and walked step by step towards Dragon Xiang. Wherever he passed, dark clouds surged in the sky like waves, and the rain pillars falling from the clouds instantly turned blood-red, filling the air with a suffocating, putrid stench.
He had long wanted to put Dragon Xiang to death.
This fellow was simply too much of an eyesore...
Ever since he gathered his army and began his eastward advance, he had been invincible, until he met Dragon Xiang, until he met Yumen Pass.
Having his army blocked outside Yumen Pass for nearly a year was, for him, the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced.
To wash away this humiliation, he had to completely crush Dragon Xiang and the entire Yumen Pass into dust!

Inside Yumen Pass.
Under Dragon Tang’s leadership, a group of Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers moved swiftly through the streets, approaching the North of the city.
A dragon roar came from the battlefield outside the city, and a huge flood dragon phantom soared into the sky. Everyone involuntarily stopped and turned to look back.
The sky outside the city was covered in dark clouds, and the surging figure of the flood dragon stirred up fierce winds, heavy rain, lightning, and thunder.
And within that gradually blood-colored, hazy mist and rain, darkness slowly emerged. The Shaman King's outline appeared from within, casting a chilling, terrifying gaze towards the menacing flood dragon, towards Dragon Xiang on the ground, and towards the entire Yumen Pass.
Despair, hatred, anger, surging killing intent...
All sorts of soul-shaking emotions solidified, turning into a viscous and dark torrent, surging forth.
Seeing this, Dragon Tang gritted his teeth and roared, “Don’t look, hurry up and retreat!”
After a roar, the young armored soldiers who had been lost in thought, staring at the sky, finally came to their senses, slowly turned back, and continued to move forward.
“Boom—!”
A heaven-shaking roar came, and everyone’s heart trembled, but no one looked back.
“Roar—!”
The mournful cry of the flood dragon echoed, and everyone's peripheral vision drifted towards Dragon Tang. Seeing him still standing on his horse, his gaze fixed forward with determination, he let out a low growl, “Don’t look back!” Everyone then followed him, gritting their teeth and continuing forward, until... Dragon Xiang’s wild laughter rang out.
“Hahaha! In this battle, this King has won!”
“To use this body to stop the war and extinguish the flames of battle, what harm is there in death!”
“Ten thousand deaths... what harm!”
“Death without life, what harm is there in ten thousand deaths—!”
The Longxiang Army Armored Soldiers outside the city shouted in unison.
Accompanying the shouts, the entire Yumen Pass vibrated violently.
Hong Bian, who had already integrated into the God Kingdom Jade Gate, activated the final killing move as agreed...
