"Brothers, charge with me..."

.........

The emotions of the twenty thousand Earth-digging Realm warriors had already reached a peak. Hearing the command of Yan Xin Chief, they immediately roared, drew their weapons, and slung their strong bows over their backs, charging wildly towards the east like a tidal wave.

This surge of emotion even infected over three hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors, causing most of them to blush with intensity. They drew their weapons and rushed across the snowy ground, heading straight toward Jinbi Village.

In the crowd, Xiang Liang and Bai Shanqiu also roared and moved forward, but their eyes were still clear. As they sprinted, they exchanged a glance, seeing a hint of fear and the desire to retreat in each other's eyes.

Dajue Temple has ways to uncover Earth-digging Realm spies, what about the Cold Resistance Level?

Who knows if the next major battle will start investigating the Cold Resistance Level warriors?

Continuing to hide here has become very dangerous!

But at this moment, the two had no time to think about these issues; they could only follow the army charging towards Jinbi Village.

Of course, they both slightly slowed their pace, falling behind the others.

......

"Everyone, draw your bows and prepare the Deceit-breaking Arrows. Don't panic; this must be some deceitful trick by Dajue Temple. With the Deceit-breaking Arrows, they can't break through!"

The military tent of Dajue Temple was just a kilometer away. How could Jinbi Village not notice the commotion there? At this moment, Xiahou Qin was already standing at the village entrance with over five hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors from Jiangxia Town, ready and waiting. As he watched the twenty thousand Earth-digging Realm warriors charging from the west, he told others not to panic, but his pupils already revealed a trace of fright.

The Earth-digging Realm warriors, they could expose themselves to the cold light without any external aid!

This was utterly against common sense; anyone who saw it would likely be terrified.

He clenched his fists tightly, looked back at the main building of Jinbi Village behind him, and his eyes were filled with not only fright but also profound regret.

By now, how could he not realize that Dajue Temple's night march was deliberate, a trick to lower his guard.

He had already sensed something was wrong, but he thought Dajue Temple's people wouldn't reach Jinbi Village until dawn. Surely they wouldn't attack in daylight, and their numbers were not many. Jinbi Village had over thirty thousand Earth-digging Realm warriors and more than five hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors. If the adversaries attacked rashly, perhaps...

Who would have thought Dajue Temple could expose the Earth-digging Realm to the cold light.

How can we fight like this?

Relying on just these five hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors around him, how could they withstand?

Clang......

At this moment, Xiahou Qin's mind was flooded with thoughts, but the army from Qinghepu didn't care, nor did the bhikkhus from Dajue Temple.

In a daze, a red Zen Stick flew directly at his face.

It was Yan Xin Chief from Dajue Temple, the fastest among them.

Xiahou Qin wasn't slow to respond; he drew the big saber from his waist and swiftly blocked.

"Above fifty bristles, this strong!"

At the moment of clash between the big saber and the Zen Stick, Xiahou Qin's expression suddenly changed, and his body leaped to the side. Suddenly realizing something, he gritted his teeth and drew a bunch of fine silver needles from behind him, shaking his wrist rapidly and shooting them at Yan Xin.

There were at least hundreds of those silver needles. Yan Xin Chief, with his Zen Stick, knocked down most of them, but still, more than a dozen pierced other parts of his body. However, with the strength of his skin membrane, these silver needles, at most, just pierced the surface, still far from penetrating through.

"No reaction, it's over!"

Xiahou Qin saw that the silver needles embedded in Yan Xin's body produced no reaction. His pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked up to see the arrow rain of the army from Qinghepu was already shooting towards the main building inside the village. A shadow of defeat flashed across his face.

"Retreat!"

At this moment, quite a few of the Cold Resistance Level warriors had already engaged with the bhikkhus from Dajue Temple. The reason Qinghepu's massive army's arrow rain was shooting towards the village's main building was because they were already entangled in battle here.

No one expected Xiahou Qin to order a retreat directly.

Yet, despite this, everyone quickly withdrew, following him towards the main building.

"The Deceit-breaking Arrows are useless; they are all real people, not deceitful monsters!"

"Lord Xiahou, it's useless. Jinbi Village can't be defended."

"We can't fight. With just our over five hundred people, we can't hold it."

..........

Many Cold Resistance Level warriors from Jiangxia Town had reacted by now. As they ran towards the main building, they continuously voiced their thoughts to Xiahou Qin, making their feelings clear.

Xiahou Qin looked at the few wooden houses near the main building and thought of the more than thirty thousand Earth-digging Realm warriors inside. His eyes were full of reluctance.

"We can't retreat; if we do, they'll all be doomed. Fight! Fight with Dajue Temple's people. We have more Cold Resistance Level warriors; maybe we can hold it. Let the brothers inside the buildings shoot arrows to support us. We must fight; don't retreat any further. Stand with me in front of the main building."

Xiahou Qin chose not to flee but shouted to all Cold Resistance Level warriors to hold in front of the main building.

Over five hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors looked back at the Dajue Temple bhikkhus rushing towards them, followed by the army from Qinghepu. Despite the fear in their eyes, they gritted their teeth and stood by Xiahou Qin.

"Stand with Lord Xiahou; all the Earth-digging Realm warriors from Jinbi Dragon River's two villages are here. If we retreat, they'll all be doomed."

"We are in Jiangxia at the North Bank of the Heng River; just these two villages, we can't retreat!"

"Can't retreat!"

"I'm from Jinbi Village, why retreat?"

"I'm from Dragon River; if Jinbi falls, our village is next. I won't retreat either!"

..........

With Xiahou Qin leading, the fighting spirit of these over five hundred Cold Resistance Level warriors from Jiangxia surged instantly.
