"Good!"
The barbarians on the earthen hill watched this saber strike from afar, filled with excitement.
Lu Yi's heart leaped into his throat.
Hu Yan Xiuluo's face wore a sinister grin.
He acknowledged the might of this Da Gan general, but compared to himself, he was still too green, destined to die on the battlefield, becoming a soul under his blade!
The expected cleaving in two did not occur. At the critical moment, he shifted his spearhead, parrying Hu Yan Xiuluo's saber with his own, then thrusting towards Hu Yan Xiuluo's thigh!
The sudden turn of events surprised Hu Yan Xiuluo greatly. He dodged hastily but was still pierced through his leg armor by Nan Jiyun, his thigh wounded!
With a pained cry, Hu Yan Xiuluo swept the parried saber across Nan Jiyun's face, but Nan Jiyun had already evaded it. As Hu Yan Xiuluo reached to grab the spear, Nan Jiyun pulled it back.
Taking advantage of Hu Yan Xiuluo's pain from the wound, Nan Jiyun attacked again.
Hu Yan Xiuluo then realized the terrifying speed of his opponent's spear. He had been holding back, and now his defenses were inadequate. He turned his horse and retreated, fighting as he fell back to his own lines.
Nan Jiyun pursued, but upon seeing enemy generals coming to his aid, he reined in his horse and shouted, "Next!"
The Da Gan army erupted in earth-shattering cheers, while the barbarians were shocked and dismayed!
A barbarian warrior who surpassed the Left Chieftain, defeated in less than fifty rounds?!
The Right Chieftain was enraged and shocked. "This is outrageous! While he hasn't recovered, kill him!"
The herald quickly relayed the order to the thirty-six generals. Hu Yan Xiuluo, who had returned to his camp, was filled with shame. The general who came to his aid pursued for ten paces and roared, "Nan Jiyun, dismount and die! Hu Yan Dingluo is here!!"
Another renowned general from the Hu Yan clan, famous from the Helan Mountain battle!
Nan Jiyun's heart tensed, and he dared not be careless, but he also did not wish to retreat to his own lines.
According to the rules, after defeating or killing an enemy general, one could continue to challenge their officers. Once back in camp, one could not fight again.
After a hasty bandaging of his wound, Hu Yan Xiuluo galloped back to the foot of the earthen hill and bowed his proud head to the Left and Right Chieftains. "This subordinate underestimated the enemy and suffered defeat. I am willing to accept death!"
Those watching the battle finally turned their gaze to Hu Yan Xiuluo, their faces filled with disappointment.
"Victory and defeat are hard to predict, and unexpected things happen. The Da Gan people are known for their cunning, so it's not your fault. Remember shame and strive for greater strength!" the Right Chieftain comforted.
The Left Chieftain also consoled him, "It's alright. Thirty-six men will fight until the last one falls. This child has been considerably worn down. Let your second brother, Hu Yan Dingluo, retrieve the honor..."
Just as Hu Yan Xiuluo was about to respond, cheers from the Da Gan soldiers suddenly rang out from afar. The barbarian army fell into silence.
The generals looked closely, their pupils contracting!
Hu Yan Dingluo's corpse was already being held high by Nan Jiyun!!
"How is this possible?!"
The Right Chieftain finally lost his composure.
In the span of a few words, a fierce general like Hu Yan Dingluo was suddenly dead?
Nan Jiyun merely tossed Hu Yan Dingluo's corpse onto the back of his warhorse, flicked his spear at its hindquarters, and the horse galloped towards Lu Changhe and his men.
Everyone burst into laughter and handed the horse and corpse to a rear herald, who was to take them back to camp.
For a time, the morale of the Da Gan soldiers soared, while the barbarians hung their heads in dejection.
If Hu Yan Xiuluo's defeat in fifty rounds could be attributed to underestimation,
then this Hu Yan Dingluo, also a highly skilled warrior and a first-class barbarian brave, was defeated and killed by a spear in less than thirty rounds, and his corpse was even taken by the opponent!
This was simply a profound humiliation!
Before the main army had even engaged, a major general had been lost. The Right Chieftain, furious, roared his command, "Kill this man for me! Reward of ten thousand taels of gold!"
Faced with the hefty reward, a third man had already flown from his camp, heading straight for Nan Jiyun.
Ten rounds later, the third general was also pierced through the throat by Nan Jiyun's spear, dying on the spot!
The barbarians had lost another general and a corpse!
"Besides the Heavenly General, does Da Gan possess such a fierce warrior??"
The barbarian soldiers at the forefront, who had the clearest view, began to panic.
The remaining thirty-three barbarian generals soon received the Right Chieftain's orders and bounty, their eyes red with urgency. The fourth man flew from his camp to pursue Nan Jiyun...
Thirteen rounds later, he too was knocked off his horse by Nan Jiyun's spear!
Liang Xiao watched, unable to resist applauding and praising, "Amazing!"
Lu Changhe and the others were overjoyed.
Alone, he defeated Hu Yan Xiuluo and killed three fierce generals, enough to make a name for himself!
"Nan Jiyun, dare you fight me!"
The barbarian generals continued to issue challenges one after another. Nan Jiyun did not retreat and engaged them all.
Another five were defeated and fled, and three were killed by Nan Jiyun's spear. None lasted more than twenty rounds!
In total, twelve barbarian generals had fought, six defeated and fled, and six dead, shocking the entire barbarian army!
By now, Nan Jiyun was sweating profusely, and even his horse, Kuang Sha, showed signs of fatigue.
Liang Xiao also noticed and called out, "Nie Yuan!"
This continuous high-intensity combat consumed a great deal of human and horse stamina, far more than a chaotic free-for-all in a large-scale battle.
Nie Yuan immediately leaped onto his horse, spear in hand, ready to fight. Then his expression changed. "You scoundrel! General Nan, leave them to me!"
It turned out two barbarian generals were pursuing Nan Jiyun together.
Nan Jiyun, aware of his extreme exhaustion, dared not be overconfident and passed by Nie Yuan, returning to his own lines.
Those two barbarian generals showed no intention of retreating and angrily shouted, "Have Nan Jiyun come out and die, or send two more to die!"
Yue Qingtian had already pursued, but he heard Nie Yuan roar, "You two treacherous villains, I, Nie Yuan, am enough to kill you both!"
As the words fell, Nie Yuan attacked the two, his spear shadows appearing and disappearing like dancing pear blossoms.
Yue Qingtian watched, not rushing, ready to provide backup at any moment.
The Left Chieftain looked at Nan Jiyun returning to his lines, filled with regret.
Losing six men and having six flee in defeat was enough to shake both armies!
At this moment, Lu Yi grinned so wide his face hurt. "Well done!"
If Nan Jiyun could achieve such a record, then Nie Yuan and Yue Qingtian, who were not inferior to him...
Just then, a chorus of jeers erupted from the Da Gan soldiers.
Lu Yi quickly turned his gaze to the battlefield.
It turned out Nie Yuan was fighting two enemies at once, successively killing both barbarian generals under their horses!
"Who the hell is this?!" the Right Chieftain finally exploded in fury.
Nan Jiyun alone was already difficult enough to deal with, and this man, fighting two at once, had annihilated them all!
"Send four at them, see if he dares to fight!"
The Left Chieftain no longer cared about appearances and immediately gave the order.
Four more barbarian generals advanced together, surrounding Nie Yuan.
Yue Qingtian roared, "Villains, you have no shame!"
Just as Yue Qingtian spurred his horse forward, saber raised, ready to provide support, Liang Xiao unexpectedly said, "Qingtian, not yet."
Yue Qingtian looked back at Liang Xiao, his face full of confusion. He saw Liang Xiao point towards the battlefield.
Yue Qingtian looked back at Nie Yuan and saw that Nie Yuan was fighting four opponents, circling the battlefield while fighting, moving with ease!
"Is this a god..."
The barbarian soldiers were stunned.
Nan Jiyun, who had defeated twelve fierce generals consecutively, and a Nie Yuan, whom they had never heard of.
The Right Chieftain, who was watching from the earthen hill, was also dumbfounded.
In less than fifteen minutes, with a roar, Nie Yuan finally pierced one man with his spear, and the remaining three were successively knocked off their horses.
The Da Gan soldiers were also dumbfounded.
