Surrounded by raging fire, Lu Yuan’s figure appeared within, seeming like a heavenly god descending to earth.
At this moment, this heavenly god had just decapitated another Sword God in everyone’s eyes.
The shock brought about by this incident instantly shattered the resistance of the surrounding Zhou people who were still holding on.
“The Grand General is dead!”
“The Grand General was burned to death by someone!”
“That’s not a human; that’s a Fire Demon!”
“Run!”
Almost in an instant, many Zhou soldiers who had witnessed with their own eyes how Lu Yuan burned Gui Lianyun to death turned pale with fright, their courage shattered.
They threw away their weapons, not daring to fight the Yue soldiers face to face, and turned to flee.
However, the plains were filled with enemy armies marching in formation, leaving no place to escape.
The only way left for these Zhou soldiers to escape was the narrow area near the city gate.
Hundreds and thousands of people rushed over in single file.
But the narrow place couldn’t accommodate so many people. To fight for the path of escape, some people even drew their swords and started hacking at each other right there.
Zhou soldiers who had already been frightened, dared not fight with the enemy face-to-face, but were swift and decisive in killing their own.
“None of you are allowed to leave, go back!”
“Kill the enemies! Kill them for me!”
“The Grand General has been kind to us, now that the bandit has killed him, we must take revenge for him!”
There were also a number of stubborn individuals who still wanted to resist.
Some Zhou generals, with their personal guards, tried to intercept and rally the fleeing soldiers, attempting to continue their resistance.
However, those who resisted soon became the primary targets of Lu Yuan.
Watching those who were still trying to organize the soldiers to fight back, Lu Yuan’s figure flickered, and in an instant, he reached their side. Several clusters of Red Sun fire flew out, and with a bang, more than ten nearby people were burned to ashes.
After doing this a few times and killing more than a hundred people, the last batch of Zhou people who tried to resist were eventually eliminated.
“The Fire Demon is coming! Run!”
Some people saw Lu Yuan chasing after them, and they couldn’t help but become even more terrified, desperately trying to escape into the city.
But there were also some who knew they couldn’t escape, or who were too scared to move. Upon seeing Lu Yuan chase after them, they threw their weapons down one by one, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed, begging for mercy.
“Spare me, please! I surrender!”
“Please don’t kill me, I surrender, I surrender!”
Watching the scene of Zhou soldiers’ complete loss of morale in the North City camp, Lu Yuan finally stopped his pursuit and held back from killing more.
He looked around at the frightened and restless Zhou soldiers, took a deep breath, and then, using his True Pneuma to amplify his voice, said: “Those who surrender will not be killed, those who dare to escape will die!”
His resounding voice instantly spread throughout the entire battlefield.
All the Zhou people who heard these words immediately dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, and pleaded for mercy.
“We are willing to surrender!”
“General, please spare our lives!”
“We are willing to surrender, willing to surrender!”
One by one, cries for mercy kept echoing from all directions.
Lu Yuan looked at the scene and a smile finally appeared on his face.
At this point, several of his disciples who had fought their way into the camp with him saw their Master and King force the surrender of so many Zhou soldiers and couldn’t help but gather around.
They looked at their Master with eyes full of awe.
The battle just now, for these disciples, was simply godlike and demonic.
And their own Master could kill another god-like being, making this achievement and prowess seem even more divine.
Facing the admiring gaze of his disciples, Lu Yuan’s expression remained calm, without much smugness.
After all, Gui Lianyun had been in two consecutive battles, and after using a secret technique, he was at the end of his tether when fighting against Lu Yuan.
His strength was no more than thirty percent.
And even with just that thirty percent of strength, the man made a misjudgment because of Lu Yuan’s actions, weakening his defenses and revealing a flaw.
Under these conditions, using his full martial arts prowess and consecutive sneak attacks with Thunder Method and Taiping Daoist Method, Lu Yuan dealt a fatal blow.
If Gui Lianyun hadn’t died from that, Lu Yuan would’ve lived in vain.
But today’s experiment confirmed my original conjecture. An ordinary Martial Arts Xiantian is at a significant disadvantage when facing someone like me who cultivates both Immortal and Martial arts.’
Moreover, the other party didn’t know about my Immortal Technique cultivation, and was completely unprepared for it.
Gui Lianyun died because of this.
If he had been cautious and aware of my Immortal Technique, it wouldn’t have been so easy to kill a Martial Arts Xiantian expert in such a casual manner.
This method of sneak attack is a good hidden card for a future trump card assassination. I should make good use of it in the future.’
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Yuan decided to further refine the integration of martial arts external body and Immortal Technique, making this hidden card assassination more mature.
However, perfecting this would have to wait until the future.
His priority now was to take down Gui Ningfu City before his eyes.
Having gone through the trouble of killing Gui Lianyun, this final prize of war must not slip away.
“Immediately send someone to inform Martial Proclamation Marquis, the Queen, and the Grand General that the bandit Gui Lianyun has been killed by me.
Order them to hasten their soldiers, defeat the enemies before them, and join me in attacking the city.”
Lu Yuan instructed his personal guard to go to the other three battlefields and report the news. Then he turned to the disciples beside him, “Leave five thousand people to gather these prisoners. The rest of the troops will follow me into the city to take over the defense.”
