Yan Liqiang felt a burst of energy as soon as he got rid of that bear-like Shatu man. Without thinking, he lunged forward with his spear.
A sharp arrow flying toward him from the distance was instantly shattered in mid-air by his spear. The sharp arrowhead was reduced into pieces of metal and fell to the ground, while its fragile wooden shaft was crushed into powder and was carried away by the wind.
Yan Liqiang gazed into the distance. About two hundred meters away behind all the Shatu warriors, there was a man who appeared to be their leader. He wore a gorgeous armor set and wielded a Horned Python Bow. The man stared back at Yan Liqiang in shock, as though he couldn’t believe Yan Liqiang had just smashed the arrow with a spear. That certainly required deft skills.
From the contact alone, Yan Liqiang was able to determine that the man was wielding a five-picul Horned Python Bow and had attained the Third Heavenly Layer in his archery cultivation. He definitely possessed extraordinary strength. Even so, he was still a little too weak against the current Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang smiled coldly at the Shatu man from the top of the wall. The man’s expression instantly contorted before he pointed to Yan Liqiang and started yelling.
The Shatu man had about a hundred archers around him. As soon as they heard the man’s yell, all the archers took aim at Yan Liqiang standing on top of the Inner Pass’ wall and they attempted to rain arrows down in that direction.
Without waiting for the arrows to reach him, Yan Liqiang’s figure swooped down from the wall like a bird. He leaped off from the top of the wall and landed right in the middle of the Shatu warriors gathered near the Inner Pass’ entrance.
When he landed, Yan Liqiang’s foot touched down on a Shatu warrior’s head and crushed the man’s head into his chest cavity. Before the other Shatu warriors could even react, Yan Liqiang swung his steel spear in a circle, hitting all the Shatu men within a radius of three meters.
Yan Liqiang’s terrifying amount of strength was unleashed at this very moment. The fine steel spear in his hands became a blurry image. Blood-curdling screams rang out all around as the seven or eight Shatu warriors next to him were knocked away to the ground in all directions with the sound of crushed bones. The area around him was instantly cleared out.
‘Whoosh…!’ Another arrow came flying toward Yan Liqiang, but it was deflected by his steel spear. Without giving a chance for the Shatu archer to target him again, he charged toward the group of Shatu warriors at the rear all alone with his spear.
With only a light thrust of his steel spear, every Shatu warrior along the way was either clutching their throat or chest after being knocked out of the way. None of them stood a chance against him. With Yan Liqiang’s monstrous strength and powerful spear technique, the Shatu warriors who encountered him were either dead or sent flying by a single attack. Yan Liqiang was akin to a tiger charging into a flock of sheep. He made them wail miserably as he crushed them completely. In just the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang charged a hundred meters against two thousand Shatu men in the formation like a hot knife slicing through butter…
The Shatu soldiers were attacking the Great Moon Tribe, but Yan Liqiang was fighting against them solo.
His speed and strength had obviously alarmed the Shatu leader at the rear of the group. Seeing Yan Liqiang rushing toward him, he shouted at the men around him. The archers desperately fired arrows at Yan Liqiang without a care for anything else…
Yan Liqiang’s spear danced and formed an impenetrable shield in front of him, easily blocking a few dozen arrows. The arrows that dropped around Yan Liqiang knocked more than ten Shatu warriors down in the surroundings, drawing cries of agony.
Not waiting for another wave of arrows from the Shatu archers at the back, Yan Liqiang picked up a wooden spear dropped by a Shatu warrior from the ground with his foot. He grabbed the spear and hurled it at the Shatu leader…
His spear traveled more than a hundred meters through the air like a bolt of lightning. It impaled the Shatu leader’s chest just as he was shouting at his men to lift their bows. The impact sent him flying ten meters backward before he landed heavily on the ground.
The Shatu leader seemed to hold a special position among the Shatu warriors and was perhaps their commander. When he was impaled by the spear Yan Liqiang hurled at him, the archers and other Shatu warriors in the surroundings immediately fell into despair…
Yan Liqiang didn’t stop. Among the chaos, he zoomed through the entire Shatu formation and reached the archers at the rear of the group. Then he started to massacre them.
The Shatu archers were never good at close combat in the first place, let alone dealing with an opponent like Yan Liqiang. In just the blink of an eye, Yan Liqiang made them flee in all directions.
At this moment, the Great Moon Tribe warriors in the mountain village close to the Inner Pass were cheering loudly. This greatly boosted the morale of those who were defending at the top of the wall. Selena’s mother also finally arrived with a group of reinforcements.
One party’s leader and commander just got killed, while the other party’s reinforcements had just arrived. The tide of the battle had turned, disrupting the Shatu men’s rhythm in attacking. Some of them even started fleeing when they noticed that the situation was off…
The most worrisome thing on a battlefield like this was having someone take the initiative to flee during grim situations, as this would completely destroy the morale of the troop. Sure enough, when the other Shatu warriors started noticing some of their peers had fled, more and more of them followed suit.
Yan Liqiang, who was right at the end of the Shatu formation, blocked the Shatu men’s escape route and started harvesting their souls. His fine steel spear turned the three-meter radius area around him into an execution ground. Every Shatu warrior that got close to him was either sent flying or died an instant death from being impaled.
The dead bodies of Shatu warriors piled up on top of each other, forming a wall in front of Yan Liqiang. Even so, quite a few of them continued running past him on both sides too…
KILL…! KILL…! KILL…! KILL…! KILL…!
There was nothing but the word ‘kill’ in Yan Liqiang’s mind. He even lost count of how many Shatu men he had slaughtered. With the attack speed of his spear, at least two Shatu men were felled by his steel spear every second.
His fine steel spear finally snapped due to his brute force. Yan Liqiang dropped it and crushed two more Shatu warriors. He picked up the Horned Python Bow left behind by the Shatu leader and a few of the quivers off the ground. He shot out four arrows at once, every single one of them deadly…
After going through all the arrows, he tossed the Horned Python Bow away. Then he picked up two sabers which the Shatu people had dropped on the ground nearby and started slashing violently. Before he even realized it, no Shatu warriors were left standing before him. The Great Moon Tribe warriors came rushing out from the gates of the Inner Pass.
Looking at the warriors who rushed out of the Inner Pass with reddened eyes, Yan Liqiang wiped the fresh blood away from his face then yelled at them, “KILL THEM ALL…!” Having said that, he brandished the sabers in his hands and chased after a fleeing Shatu warrior. He struck out with his blade and sent his victim’s head flying.
Encountering an opponent like Yan Liqiang on the battlefield was simply a nightmare to those Shatu warriors. He wasn’t only faster, but he was also a lot more skilled and powerful than them. It was almost as though he had the stamina of a few T-Rexes within his body.
Without waiting for the fleeing Shatu warriors to run out of this valley, Yan Liqiang chased after them again from behind. The sabers in his hands cut through the fleeing group, leaving a trail of blood and corpses behind as he made it to the front…
When the blood-soaked Yan Liqiang caught up with those Shatu people who had terrified looks on their faces, he lifted his sabers high in the air and brought them down without any hesitation…
