You beheaded my head, then I shall cut your hand!

Let's see whose blade is faster!

On the battlefield, the flames of war ignite, True Qi rampages across the wilderness, sand and stones fly, energy light pierces the sky!

Qin Tian faced the enemy's heavy onslaught, Zhao Lanjin led troops on the side to protect, blocking wave after wave of True Qi crossbow attacks and the siege of experts.

The guards behind Tie Bing were mostly Nascent Soul Stage powerhouses, but in front of Qin Tian, they were no match. Without the coordination with True Qi crossbows, these people would have long been slaughtered by Qin Tian!

However, when Duan Xiaodao accompanied the Qin Family army to charge from the side towards Tie Bing's camp, Tie Bing panicked.

Dozens of people, unleashing Small Immortal Realm True Qi, made the surrounding enemy troops falter before even engaging, weakening their morale by threefold!

Among the Qin Family army, one carried a battle flag embroidered with the word "Qin", under the protection of teammates, and charged like a dagger straight into the enemy's heart!

"Hmm, a small detachment dares to ambush me? Seeking death! Command the flanks to converge towards the center, stop them!"

Surprised for a moment, Tie Bing regained his composure and commanded calmly, "Only a few dozen, order them killed off completely, leave none alive!"

When finished, Tie Bing even smirked, "Hmph, just a dozen thinking of charging my Central Army camp? Dream on!"

But his smile lasted only a few minutes.

When Tie Bing lifted his eyes again towards the battlefield, where the Qin Family army fought, he was stunned!

The thousand soldiers encircling from his flanks couldn't quickly annihilate these hundred opponents!

Instead, at the frontline, they were continuously forced back, retreating step by step!

"How can these people's True Qi be so strong?"

Upon closer inspection, Tie Bing finally saw something—the light waves and Sword Qi constantly rising made his soldiers rebound from them!

The individual strength difference was too vast!

"Someone, what's the cultivation level of that group?" Tie Bing decided to investigate.

The frontline quickly reported, "Report to the General, they are of Small Immortal Realm cultivation!"

"Small Immortal Realm? How many of them are Small Immortal Realm experts?" Tie Bing's expression finally turned grave.

On the battlefield, Small Immortal Realm experts represented the power equivalent to a hundred ordinary soldiers!

"Report to the General, frontline General Li says all of them are Small Immortal Realm experts!"

"What!?"

Buzz!

Upon hearing the messenger's reply, Tie Bing's face changed dramatically, followed by a buzzing sound in his head, feeling his heart suddenly go cold!

"So many Small Immortal Realm experts? How did Qin Tian do this? Did he gather all the experts from West State's sects?"

Tie Bing simply couldn't figure out how Qin Tian assembled so many Small Immortal Realm experts, "But those in cultivation immortality are usually proud, how could they easily join an army, especially just for regular charge-and-battle units..."

Tie Bing was utterly lost in thought.

He turned back, gazing at the distant location of Qin Tian, shouting, "What is the outcome of the encirclement against Qin Tian?"

Soon, a messenger replied, "Report to the General, the ambush army sent out has evanesced, vanished without trace. Currently, the True Qi crossbow is still encircling Qin Tian, however, Zhao Lanjin's troops on his flanks are close to breaching our first line of defense!"

At this time, a leading officer hurriedly approached and said, "General Tie, I request True Qi crossbow support! Without True Qi crossbow, the frontline can't withstand Zhao Lanjin's assault troops!"

"Alas!"

Suffering consecutive defeats, Tie Bing sighed heavily, gritted teeth and said, "Pass my command, reassign True Qi crossbow usage to General Wang, prioritize overall strategy!"

Having no other option, after failing to swiftly decapitate Qin Tian, facing Zhao Lanjin forces' relentless advances, Tie Bing could only assign True Qi crossbow to the front lines to block Zhao Lanjin's army, temporarily giving up on Qin Tian.

"Haha, the guy over there has given up."

Seeing the True Qi arrow rain in the sky change direction, Qin Tian laughed heartily, "Execute decapitation action against me? Such a thin troop, way too confident!"

Zhao Lanjin remarked, "Boss, that man over there is called Tie Bing, a confidant of Yin Yue Demon Venerate, known for his arrogance and previous invincibility on the West State battlefield, this time, I reckon he's still living in his dream."

Qin Tian nodded, "Since he's still living in a dream, let's wake him up!"

As they spoke, Qin Tian already focused his eyes on the location of the Qin Family army, saying, "The Qin Family army is deeply surrounded, now that our side faces less pressure, let's go with a thousand men to reinforcement!"

Having said this, Zhao Lanjin summoned his former personal soldiers, under Qin Tian's leadership, rushing like a whirlwind directly towards the Qin Family army!

Moreover, Qin Tian instructed these thousand men to focus on the Qin Family's battle flag. Under the assault of Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin, they charged through obstacles showing signs of soon linking up with the Qin Family army!

In the Demon Clan's Central Army camp, seeing another team quickly reinforce the Qin Family army, Tie Bing paused, then seeing the "Qin" battle flag among them, he clenched in dread and panic!

"How... how is this possible, another team? A thousand Small Immortal Realm cultivation experts!?"

Tie Bing was awestruck, "Hiss... this... does Qin Tian perform magic? How did he conjure so many experts!"

This time, Tie Bing's plans were in chaos, sending people quickly to probe the frontline situation.

A commanding officer hurried off, and shortly, returned sweating profusely to report, "General, it's been clarified, that unit of 'Qin' battle flag soldiers is Qin Tian's ace troop, dubbed Qin Family army, supposedly composed entirely of Small Immortal Realm experts!"

Bang!

Tie Bing's head violently shook, nearly startled into a concussion.

A thousand-plus Small Immortal Realm experts on the battlefield?

He's battled for over twenty years yet never witnessed or heard such a thing!

"How...how are our army's casualties?" Tie Bing was now physically and mentally drained.

The officer replied, "The units opposing Zhao Lanjin are barely holding, main commanders survive, casualties unknown."

"But the units countering Qin Family army are struggling, the frontline thousand household generals already lost thirteen, Deputy Generals Cheng Kui and Ming Yu, have fallen!"

"Ah—" Tie Bing inhaled sharply, retreated two steps, "Finished, doomed... This Qin Family army, how did it emerge... So... so formidable!"
