"Hmph! Murong Xiu, why are you blabbering so much? You're talking more than a woman!" Nangong Xiong couldn't stand Murong Xiu's nonsense. Looking at Murong Xiu, he felt that something wasn't quite right. Let's fight then, how could there be so much nonsense? Nangong Xiong became angry and swung his hammer at Murong Xiu's long sword, causing Murong Xiu's long sword to droop as if it couldn't take it any longer. Nangong Xiong was elated upon seeing this. As for Mu Rong Xiu, he suddenly lowered the sword in his hand and flexible sword pierced straight at Nangong Xiong from the lower half of his body.

"General Nangong, be careful!" The Violet Garden had also noticed the insidious nature of Mu Rong Xiu's attack. They purposefully made the enemy weak so that they could deal a fatal blow to Nangong Xiong.

Bang! Bang! Bang! After Nangong Xiong received Zi Yuan's reminder, he threw the hammer down. Murong Xiu could only withdraw his longsword and fight Nangong Xiong's hammer three times.

"Murong Xiu, are you so despicable?" Nangong Xiong also suddenly shouted out angrily and the anger in his heart instantly surged.

"Did your brain get burnt?" Do you want me to show you mercy on the battlefield? " Mu Rong Xiu was so angry by Nangong Xiong's words that he started to laugh and feel bored. Could this person be this funny since he was young?

"General Nangong, there is no way to continue to fight in this battle. Retreat!" After speaking, Zi Yuan shot out the concealed weapon in his hands. Murong Xiu also used his sword to protect his chest before taking a few steps back. At this moment, Zi Yuan and Nangong Xiong had also retreated. At this moment, even if Mu Rong Xiu wanted to give chase, he couldn't. He had already suffered heavy internal injuries from that strike of Zi Yuan's. Now, he was no longer able to continue chasing after her.

Helian Lie watched as the two of them retreated back and killing intent unconsciously surfaced in his eyes. At this moment, Murong Xiu was already injured. If he continued, he was afraid that he would be able to inflict serious damage on him. As he thought of this, Helian rode his horse and charged forward. As for Murong Xiu, he immediately retreated after Violet Garden and the others rushed out. He was already standing behind his own military camp. Helian Lie knew that Murong Xiu must have seen through his thoughts.

"Withdraw!" "Let's retreat today!" Mu Rong Xiu shouted. Wang Huai and his men were fighting evenly with the enemy general, so they didn't hesitate when they heard his words.

"Yuan Hao, I will definitely come tomorrow to take your head!" After Wang Huai finished speaking, he prepared to retreat.

"Humph? You want to leave? " At this moment, the battle on Murong Xiu's side was instantly pulled down while he couldn't let Wang Huai go. Wang Huai was a general; if he was allowed to leave just like that, would he still have the face to meet with the other generals?

"Yuan Hao, you and I are only fifty percent of the total number. Do you think that you can kill me?" After having battled with him for such a long time, Wang Huai had also discovered that his opponent's strength was on par with his own. Just as he was about to directly clash with his opponent and retreat, a whistling sound suddenly passed into his ears.

"Bam!" It was actually a concealed weapon.

"Hmph, who is it!?" "Who is it!?" Wang Huai was also startled by the sudden appearance of this hidden weapon. He immediately sensed something and turned around to strike out with his sword. He widened his eyes. At this moment, the blood-red dagger became even redder as it stabbed towards Wang Huai's chest.

"You, you …" He had climbed up from behind in order to return Wang Huai's spear. After experiencing several of Murong Xiu's retreat strategies, Zi Yuan knew that if Murong Xiu wanted to give the order, then the opposing general would definitely retreat. This was also the time when the enemy general had the lowest combat strength, so Wang Huai was one of the unlucky ones who had chosen to assassinate the enemy general!

"General Yuan Hao, retreat!" After Zi Yuan finished off Wang Huai, he saw Yuan Hao standing there in a daze. He immediately shouted and took the lead to retreat in the direction of his own camp.

Yuan Hao was also stunned for a moment when he saw how formidable Zi Yuan's methods were. Soon after, he heard a loud shout from Zi Yuan before he followed Zi Yuan out of the battlefield.

The shadow was hidden within a five meter radius from Helian Lie. When Zi Yuan came in, he immediately discovered the shadow, and the corner of his eyes twitched involuntarily. He also became vigilant in his heart; this person's concealing technique was actually so brilliant, and the shadow had clearly seen the look in Zi Yuan's eyes as well.

"Zi Yuan, have you gained anything from today's battle?" Helian smiled as he looked at Zi Yuan.

"You should want to say that you're regretting not being able to do it yourself, right?" Even the Violet Garden was able to see through He Lian's thoughts with a single sentence.

"Haha, those who know me can't be someone I love." Helian said with a laugh. It was true that he had wanted to chase after Murong Xiu when he was about to leave, but Murong Xiu had been prepared and hadn't caught up. This made Helian Tong feel a bit of regret.

"We underestimated Murong Xiu's fighting strength. I didn't think we would be underestimating him. It looks like we've been underestimating him this whole time." When Zi Yuan said this, he felt somewhat unresigned. Helian Lie naturally saw through the unhappiness in not being able to eliminate Murong Xiu in one fell swoop.

"Don't worry, Murong Xiu must have suffered internal injuries after being ambushed by you this time. However, if we take advantage of this victory to chase after him, our army will be one level stronger than Xunli. However, don't pursue our enemy! If Murong Xiu insists on fighting us, then even if we win, it will still be a miserable victory!" As Helian said this, the corners of his eyes twitched and his eyebrows knitted together.

In the end, even if they were able to win, it would be extremely tragic. Since Lan Cang had led a team to the Western City, it was clear that they still hadn't started moving as planned, and he was waiting for the other side to make a move, which would give Murong Xiu a heavy blow. With his current army, he couldn't fight against Murong Xiu's army.

"Zi Yuan understands this place. Now, we can only wait for General Lan Cang to arrive." Zi Yuan had clearly thought through all of this. His eyes were somewhat cold as he spoke. After which, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"Lan Cang should be launching an attack soon. It's already been three days since we left. I'm sure he'll arrive tomorrow. We'll have to fight Murong Xiu tomorrow and delay him for sure." Every time he said this, the Violet Garden's gaze turned completely cold. Every time he allowed Murong Xiu to leave in such a relaxed manner, it was a very infuriating thing in the eyes of the Violet Garden.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at everything in the tent. This place was meticulously arranged by him, and all of this was for the Violet Garden. At this moment, it was obvious that the Violet Garden was no longer by his side, and everything here seemed so ironic to Murong Xiu.

"Bang!" "Bam!" The continuous collisions caused Murong Xiu to be extremely angry. He said that all the items had been smashed into the ground. Then, he held onto a broken table with a ferocious expression as he gasped for breath and howled.

"Helian, Zi Yuan, you two bastards! One day, I, Murong Xiu, will destroy you two!" After Murong Xiu finished speaking, he waved his right hand and sent the table flying. When the soldiers outside heard their marshal's hysterical roars, they stood outside the tent, trembling with fear and trepidation.

"Men, summon the generals!" Mu Rong Xiu suddenly shouted. The people outside responded quickly and ran to the general's tent to pass on the message. After a while, Murong Xiu was able to calm himself down. He couldn't be a mournful person in front of the generals.

"Where's Wang Huai?" Murong Xiu's cold eyes swept over the crowd below him. When he saw that Wang Huai wasn't around, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"Reporting to Marshal, General Wang, General Wang …" The leader of the generals was hesitant to continue.

"Hmm? "Speak!" Mu Rong Xiu shouted.

"General Wang Huai was killed by the enemy's General Zi Yuan."

In the entire western military camp, Wang Huai was the only one with some ability. Now that Wang Huai was dead, it gave Murong Xiu a heavy blow in his heart. Then, Murong Xiu stopped walking and looked at the generals below him as he shouted out.

"Tomorrow, we must fight for victory and defeat. You must be tired of dragging this out. Tomorrow, we will have to duel with the other party to determine the victor!" Murong Xiu had a fierce expression on his face at the end. Every time, he would first issue an order to withdraw from the group, which made Murong Xiu feel extremely unhappy.

"Yes, tomorrow will definitely be a great victory!" When the generals heard Murong Xiu's words, they also shouted out loud.

"All of you, go down." Mu Rong Xiu waved his hand, his eyes filled with unspeakable exhaustion. After the generals left, Murong Xiu sat down on his commander's chair and muttered to himself.

"Am I that inferior to you in the battlefield?" "Why, why?" In terms of scheming and strategy, Murong Xiu firmly believed that he wouldn't lose to anyone. But now, when he was fighting on the battlefield, he had always lost to his opponent, not to the army of Yue, but to Zi Yuan. Every time, she would ruin his good fortune, and he had always been able to let her escape.

"Zi Yuan, if I can't get you tomorrow, you can go on the road with Helian." Mu Rong Xiu clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth as he spoke, as though he was enduring a great deal of pain.
