"Not good, run quickly!" At the city gate, many spectators, upon seeing such a formation, were also terrified, screaming and fleeing.

Even some of the City Guard Army were so scared that their legs went weak.

Each arrow came whistling in a deadly fashion. If one were hit by these arrows, death would be certain.

Shi Jian moved, as soon as he drew his sword, a sweeping Sword Qi was unleashed, forming a massive Sword Qi Formation that directly blocked those arrows. A clanging sound echoed as the three hundred sharp arrows were all blocked by Shi Jian.

This scene instantly widened many people's eyes in astonishment.

"Hmm? What a powerful sword, as expected of the Sword Monarch. To block the arrows of my three hundred Iron Cavalry with just a sword, truly impressive." The Wolf Fang commander's expression turned even more grim, staring intently at Shi Jian without ordering the three hundred Iron Cavalry to shoot again.

Shi Jian also looked at the Wolf Fang commander with cold and slightly provocative eyes.

The Wolf Fang commander, seething with anger, looked at Shi Jian: "Quite a bit of strength, I must see how strong you really are." With that, the Wolf Fang commander slapped his horse's back, leaping into the air and directly charging at Shi Jian. After all, the Wolf Fang commander was a Golden Core Realm Third Layer expert, and his attack was naturally formidable, his sword flashing with terrifying sharpness, aiming for Shi Jian's vital points, clearly intending to kill him with one blow.

The move right out of the gate was vicious.

Magnificent momentum surged from the sword's tip, rippling outward.

Shi Jian's sword moved again, the Rushing Thunder Sword launched with full power, as if the sword itself was a rushing thunder. Strikes of Sword Qi crashed toward the Wolf Fang commander like heavenly thunder. However, Shi Jian was at a disadvantage in realm. Though superior in Sword Dao compared to the Wolf Fang commander, he couldn't gain much advantage.

"Hmm? You can actually block my sword?" The Wolf Fang commander was somewhat surprised.

Shi Jian shook his head secretly: "The power of the Rushing Thunder Sword is still a bit weak, barely able to suppress the Wolf Fang commander, but achieving victory is a challenge. Seems like I must get serious now." Shi Jian didn't want to drag on the fight with Wolf Fang, so with a thought, his Sword Force moved, and he unleashed the first style of the Bright Moon Sword Art, the Mindful Style. One sword, focusing the mind, the world was focused. With one sword, there was only one sword in the world. With one sword, the world remained a single sword.

Crash—

"What's going on?" The Wolf Fang commander was suddenly stupefied, brandishing his sword in panic, but his Sword Force was immediately shattered by a terrifying beam, causing him to shudder and feel a lingering fear.

Immediately, he felt a chill on his neck. When he touched it with his hand, he felt a trace of blood, instantly breaking out in a cold sweat. He stared wide-eyed at Shi Jian, as if his throat was gripped by an invisible hand, unable to speak.

Shi Jian still looked at Wolf Fang indifferently: "If I hadn't held back just now, you'd be a dead man by now."

The Wolf Fang commander's face turned extremely ugly, but he couldn't refute because it was true. His heart was like a pot of complex emotions, feeling utterly uncomfortable. The three hundred Iron Cavalry also looked at the Wolf Fang commander in shock. Was their invincible commander nearly killed?

Wolf Fang commander realized he hit a hard spot today, so he gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Let's go!"

"Stop, did I say you could leave?" A light-hearted voice rang out, as Tangyu sneered and walked out, looking at the Wolf Fang commander.

The Wolf Fang commander looked coldly at Tangyu: "What? Do you really want to fight us? I have three hundred Iron Cavalry, if we fight, it will not be easy for you. I am a special envoy sent by Anyang County, to attack us is to oppose Anyang County, can you bear the consequences?"

Tangyu smacked his lips and smiled: "If we couldn't bear it, how could we be ransacking and laying siege? Since we dare to do this, we are already prepared for war with Anyang County. It's just a matter of time. Since war is inevitable, why be afraid? Your Wolf Fang Legion is here today; do you think I could let you go back? Destroying you would be wiping out a major force of Anyang County. It's a deal I'll gladly make."

The Wolf Fang commander looked at Tangyu in despair; compared to Shi Jian, he was weaker in strength, let alone this mysterious young man.

The three hundred Iron Cavalry also appeared desperate, feeling driven to the brink.

"Commander, let's fight them. At worst, we all die in battle. Killing us won't be so easy."

"Right, fight them, we're not famous for nothing."

Tangyu raised the corner of his mouth: "If you want to die, of course, that's no problem, I'll grant your wish." As he finished speaking, Tangyu casually waved his hand, and beams of light immediately emerged, forming a large cage that instantly enveloped the entire Wolf Fang Legion. These lights directly formed a formation. Trapped within the formation, the Wolf Fang Legion felt an immense danger looming, making them somewhat despairing.

"Such terrifying aura, such terrifying formation, a simple wave can deploy such a powerful formation, who is this person?" The Wolf Fang commander was also dumbfounded, how could this be?

"Could it be the rumored Immortal? Could it really be an Immortal descending?" the Wolf Fang commander couldn't help but think.

If it truly were an Immortal, then how could Anyang County contend with Liufeng City, would it not be seeking death? Reflecting on all this, Wolf Fang increasingly felt that the person before him was too profound and powerful, definitely someone not to be provoked. Provoking this person would be courting death.

At this realization, his spirit crumbled, his face full of despair.

Unwilling, he had endured countless hardships, and it took him so many years to climb to the position of Wolf Fang Legion Commander, but today, was he really going to die here?

Moreover, would he also have to let three hundred brothers die with him?

But, he had no strength to resist at all, it was a complete dead-end.

"Brothers, I've wronged you, implicated you. If I hadn't volunteered, the Commandery Princess might not have sent us here. But unexpectedly, there's no way back now. Brothers, we can only meet in the next life." said the Wolf Fang Legion Commander.

"Commander, it's not your fault, we are willing to die with you."

"Yes, in the next life, we'll be brothers again, we're not afraid of death."

"Come on then, we're not afraid."

The Wolf Fang Legion Commander's eyes turned slightly red: "Alright, good brothers, you are all truly honorable men, daring to spill blood and lose heads, you are worthy members of my Wolf Fang Legion. Since we are bound to die, then let's have one last battle."

"Battle!"

"Kill!!!"

Looking at the Wolf Fang Legion, Tangyu couldn't help but smile as well, this legion's demeanor was indeed commendable, this Wolf Fang was also a man of loyalty. Tangyu really liked people who valued loyalty.

"Why are you all so agitated, I never said I must kill you." Tangyu said.

Suddenly, the Wolf Fang Legion quieted down, each looking at Tangyu, the Wolf Fang Legion Commander frowned and said: "Not kill us? What do you mean by this, sir?"

Tangyu shook his head and said: "I only said I don't necessarily have to kill you, not that I definitely won't. Whether I kill you or not depends on you. If you insist on seeking death, I'll naturally fulfill your wish. If you are enlightened, I naturally won't kill you. That's how simple it is. Life or death actually—lies in your own hands."

Wolf Fang wasn't a fool, upon hearing this, naturally, he understood, his sword-like brows tightened: "So, sir's meaning is to have us surrender the city, pledge allegiance to your Liufeng City, and help your Liufeng City attack Anyang County?"

Tangyu smirked: "Smart people are indeed this way, understanding at a hint. Yes, that's the meaning."

"Hmph, that's absolutely impossible." Wolf Fang immediately refused.

"Yes, the thought of having us defect and become traitors is absolutely impossible, kill us, we'd rather die."

"Hmph, we'll never submit, our loyalty is only to the Commandery Princess of Anyang."

Tangyu wasn't in a hurry, instead, he said: "Don't agree too quickly, loyalty is good, but don't be blindly loyal. The Commandery Princess of Anyang isn't any good either, why should you be so devoted to him? Besides, the ruling of Anyang County is about to change hands, Liufeng City will soon attack. Wolf Fang Legion Commander, you should be very clear about the strength of Anyang County, don't you think my chances of attacking Anyang County are?"

The Wolf Fang Legion Commander looked at Tangyu, it took him quite a while before he said: "Sir, your strength is unfathomable, killing me is like crushing an ant. If you really act, the Anyang County government certainly can't withstand it."

"Since you understand this, then it's easy to say. Within half a month, Anyang County will surely change hands. If you choose to sacrifice heroically, dying alongside the Commandery Princess of Anyang, that's your choice. However, let me tell you, you only have one life, and only one chance to choose. Once you make a choice, there is no turning back. Choosing such a way to die, do you think it's heroic? Worthwhile? Very brave?" Tangyu said.

These words lingered in everyone's minds, plunging them into silence.

Do they want to die?

The answer is definitely no, no one wants to die.

How loyal are they to Anyang County? They aren't sure whether their loyalty is worth risking their lives for, especially for a falling Anyang County.

So, for the moment, everyone fell silent, contemplating the matter.

Tangyu continued: "Being loyal is good, but I think your true loyalty is to the Wolf Fang Legion, to your commander, not to the Commandery Princess of Anyang. Choosing to die today is actually meaningless and worthless. Your lives would be over, do you really think your life is worth it?"

"I think not, I think it's laughable. Your lives still have plenty of time, yet you choose to die? Isn't that a kind of cowardice, a joke?"

"You have the ability to continue fighting on the battlefield, to make your iron hooves march further, to make the name of your Wolf Fang Legion resonate more. Only in this way can you demonstrate your true value, make your life more meaningful."

"What we do, regardless of how you interpret it, is at least something meaningful. Whether it's life or death is entirely up to your own consideration."
