"Fight!"

"Fight!" Fight! "Fight!" The soldiers shouted loudly. And then, Helian rode his horse and took the lead as the vanguard. It was time for Helian Lie to make his move.

"Let's fight. I'm afraid Victorious Return will return after today's battle!" The Violet Garden felt gratified as she looked at the fanatical expressions on the soldiers' faces. The battle had progressed to this stage, so they were more or less moved. This time, they were going to inflict a heavy injury to Murong Xiu.

"Zi Yuan, this time, you and Nangong Xiong are in the vanguard. We don't need to charge forward. We can kill a few more people. We must kill them to the point that their hearts are trembling!"

"Yes, General!"

"Yes, General!" At this moment, Zi Yuan and Nangong Xiong also cupped their hands and replied loudly.

"Alright, let me have a good fight with Murong Xiu this time."

At that moment, Murong Xiu had already dispatched his troops from the western military camp. He was preparing to head back immediately, but at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the ground.

"Crap, the enemy must be coming!" Seeing this, the Lifestyle General knew that he was probably going to meet his enemy.

"Soldiers, listen up! Retreat quickly! Do not keep fighting!" Murong Xiu also started to panic. It was as if the other side had planned this beforehand, and chose this time to deal the final blow. Thinking of this, Murong Xiu instantly understood.

Good, good, Helian, what a plan!" Mu Rong Xiu said with a green face, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. He was afraid that this was a foregone conclusion, but he had never imagined that Lan Cang would attack his doorstep at this very moment.

"Marshal, what should we do now? It would be hard to leave." Wang Meng walked up to Mu Rong Xiu's side and said in a worried voice.

"Ignore him. If we want to leave, they won't be able to stop us. Immediately retreat! " As Murong Xiu spoke, he took the lead and ran towards the back of the Sword Summit. That was the road to the west.

"Murong Xiu, you're leaving just like that?" Don't you want to leave anything behind? " At this moment, the Violet Garden had also rushed over. Murong Xiu was also looking at her as he coldly spoke.

"Hmph, if I want to leave, I don't think you would dare to stop me."

"That depends on your mood. Kill them all!" The Violet Garden gave a loud roar and charged out right after the word "kill" came out of her mouth.

"Hmph, you're courting death!" Murong Xiu hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, but no matter what he did, he wouldn't be killed so easily by the Violet Palace.

"General Nangong, I'll take care of Murong Xiu. You go kill every enemy general you see fit!"

"Ah, General Zi Yuan, this Murong Xiu cannot be underestimated." Nangong Xiong also said with a bit of worry.

"He's injured now, and his battle prowess is not what it used to be. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

"Okay. If you're not in time, let out a loud shout." When Nangong Xiong saw how determined Violet Garden was, he reminded her and rushed over.

"General Yuan Hao, go and help General Nangong. You don't need to go to General Zi Yuan's place. She can do it." Helian Lie said as he looked at the battle between Zi Yuan and Murong Xiu.

"Yes, General!" Yuan Hao replied and rushed over to Nangong Xiong's side.

In such a situation, they naturally fell to one side. At this moment, Zi Yuan and Murong Xiu were engaged in an intense battle, and it was just as Zi Yuan had said, Murong Xiu no longer had the combat strength from before. The longsword in his hand was also knocked back to the ground by Zi Yuan.

"Hmph. Zi Yuan, do you think you can kill me just like that?"

"I didn't want to kill you. I only wanted to collect some interest on you. You can't die now." Zi Yuan sneered.

"Oh? Do you want to keep me here? " Mu Rong Xiu was shocked. The Ziyuan's words revealed too much information that even Mu Rong Xiu found it difficult to understand them.

"I'll leave it for you to see how I'll deal with this world!" Zi Yuan's aura soared like a rainbow. Then, like a shooting star, he unexpectedly slashed his dagger towards Murong Xiu in an arc. Mu Rong Xiu also felt the power of Zi Yuan's attack. He didn't take it head on either and just dodged it. Yet, he was still hit by the attack and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Hmph, since when did you, Murong Xiu, become like this?" The Violet Garden couldn't help but mock him, but to Murong Xiu's ears, it was extremely ear-piercing.

"Zi Yuan, do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?" As soon as Murong Xiu finished speaking, he took out another cold sword from his chest and rushed towards the Violet Garden. Killing intent filled his attacks, and the Violet Garden also felt it. She didn't dare to charge straight over.

Bang! Bang! After the interaction between the two swords was resolved, they immediately dispersed. At this moment, Murong Xiu looked coldly at Zi Yuan.

"Let Helian come. At this moment, you are not my match!"

"What he said is correct. You should go and help General Nangong." A voice suddenly rang out from behind Zi Yuan. He didn't bother to pay any more attention to Murong Xiu and directly dashed towards the battle on Nangong Xiong's side.

"Mu Rong Xiu, how could the current you be my match?!" Helian said coldly as he looked at Murong Xiu.

"Helian, I don't want to say anything to you. Even if I, Murong Xiu, die in your hands today, you won't be able to survive!" Mu Rong Xiu looked coldly at Helian, his aura suddenly rising.

"Hmph. You can at most use that technique once. I only need to dodge it. You think that you can kill me with a hundred percent certainty?"

"Then why aren't you making your move!" Right now, it was already a foregone conclusion, so how could Helian possibly make a move against him? Therefore, Murong Xiu chose to leave the Violet Garden and face Helian. He clearly knew that if he fought Helian Lun, it would be even more difficult than facing the Purple Garden, but Murong Xiu was certain that Helian wouldn't dare to force him into a corner at this moment.

"You are correct. I do not dare to fight against you right now. You have already lost. The current you no longer has any challenges to me." Helian Lie stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Murong Xiu with a burning gaze. These words were like a slap to Murong Xiu's heart. Since when did Helian Lie dare to speak to him so confidently? As Murong Xiu thought of this, he felt a suffocating sensation on his chest, followed by a chill in his eyes.

"Hmph, Helian, you've won this battle. The world isn't yours. Don't be too proud yet. I'll definitely take it from you that it's mine, Murong Xiu!" Mu Rong Xiu looked at Helian Helian and said in a cold voice. Then, he looked deeply at Helian Lie and retreated without turning his head back. Helian Lie watched as Murong Xiu ran away. He had no choice but to let him go. It was just as Murong Xiu had said, he had already won the fight. There was no longer a need to fight to the bitter end.

"You let him go?" At this moment, Zi Yuan had also rushed over to say something. Before he could reply, he continued speaking.

"Don't you know how to collect interest?"

"Hehe, if it's you, you might be able to collect some interest. If it's me, I'm afraid you won't be able to see me anymore." With that, Helian Lie walked to the back. Zi Yuan looked deeply in the direction that Murong Xiu had escaped in and his eyes burned hotter and hotter. 'Sooner or later, I'll catch you with my own hands!'

The sun had already set in the west of the city. It was already sunset, and this sort of beauty was tinged with a hint of blood. Blue Sky sat on the back of his horse as he watched the blood-red sunset, and then he let out a long sigh.

"It's about time." Following that was another loud shout.

"Soldiers, obey orders!" "Give me …"

"Report!" There's news spreading out. " Just as Lan Cang was about to issue his decree, a scout suddenly came back and reported it.

"What news."

"Marshal, that Prime Minister Xi Li actually issued a written challenge!" The spy said in disbelief.

"Hmm? The written request for battle! " Lan Cang was also startled. He suspected that he had misheard.

As he thought of this, Lan Cang did not immediately attack. The soldiers and horses behind him all looked at each other in doubt. None of them understood what was going on. At this moment, Lan Cang also became vigilant. Since when did Zuo Qianshou have the guts to issue a written challenge to him?

"Marshal, how dare that Zuo Qian send out the challenge before us? Is there something wrong with it?" Li Zhen also said in disbelief after hearing this.

"Indeed, I also felt that there might be something behind it. However, Zuo Qing suddenly sent out a written challenge within the time limit that we gave him. Could it be that he's waiting for someone?" Lan Cang narrowed his eyes as he looked at the city. His thoughts were in a state of disarray.

"Marshal, are they waiting for Mu Rong Xiu to bring back his troops?" Li Zhen asked with a puzzled expression.

"No need. I'm afraid there's no use waiting for Murong Xiu to come here. They must have gone to call for reinforcements." Lan Cang knew that even if Murong Xiu had come, he would not have arrived so quickly at dawn tomorrow.

"Could it be the Southern Kingdom?" Li Zhen's eyes widened as he looked at Lan Cang and spoke.

"I won't. The Southern Kingdom doesn't dare to form a feud with the Northern Alliance. If the Southern Kingdom had dared to help Xi Li, then the Northern Alliance would have been wiped out a long time ago. I believe that it must have been done by Murong Xiu." Lan Cang was also somewhat bewildered as he spoke. As for this matter, it became increasingly strange.

"Then what should we do now?" At this moment, the army was already at the bottom of the city. If they were to leave just like this, they would feel some unwillingness in their hearts.

"They dared to issue a challenge to us. If they have the confidence, they should be attacking us now. However, why are they guarding this city? I do not understand." But even so, he only had thirty thousand soldiers and horses at the moment. No one knew how many soldiers and horses he had in the city of Xilai, or how many soldiers and horses he had risked to make up for the loss he had suffered. As for the situation in the Northern Yue State, he wasn't too sure.

"Wait a bit longer, wait until the sun has completely set. If they still haven't attacked, we will attack!" As Lan Cang spoke, he chose to wait for a little longer. Then, he thought of something and suddenly said.

"Send me a signal and tell them that I, Lan Cang, will be fighting them here at night. If they don't dare to come out and fight, then they'll just wait for death!"

"Yes, Marshal!" If he sent out this signal, then there would still be no movement inside, and the enemy would definitely be deceived. No matter how much the enemy blew up and swindled, in front of absolute strength, there was nothing to fear. In fact, Lan Cang had also suddenly thought of the empty city that Zi Yuan had planned that day, and looking at the city that seemed to be heavily guarded below, there might not be even a single empty shell inside.
