The rest of you, follow me—we’ll kill this traitor to the Mongols.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After barking orders to his deputy, Nie Huaishang led his several hundred personal guards galloping toward Temujin; where they passed, the enemy shattered like bamboo, none able to stand against them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin ordered his personal guards—the boy’s strength was unfathomable; letting him close in would be suicide. At this point, Temujin no longer cared if arrows struck his own men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, every Mongol was trained in mounted archery from childhood; Temujin’s personal guards were among the finest marksmen in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, hundreds of arrows rained down like a storm upon Nie Huaishang and his guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet facing this torrent of arrows, Nie Huaishang remained calm—this arrowstorm could not touch him. He murmured softly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heaven and earth, the primal essence; ten thousand qi, the root.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cultivate through ten thousand eons, prove my divine power.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Within the three realms, only the Dao is supreme.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My body radiates golden light, shielding me completely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he spoken than golden light blazed around Nie Huaishang; the hundreds of arrows rebounded harmlessly, all deflected by the radiance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin’s heart lurched in shock—he thought: “In my army, only the bravest warriors could withstand dozens of arrows. Even Borjigit, Hobil, and Muqali barely managed such a feat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But they would have been cut down by this arrowstorm. This boy feels no effect—he must be no weaker than the man who just hunted me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These two must be the ‘ten-thousand-man foes’ the Han people speak of.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t shoot the boy—aim for his horse. This golden light covers his body, but his mount won’t be protected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he retreated, Temujin shouted orders to his guards, who immediately drew bows and fired at Nie Huaishang’s horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang’s horse was instantly riddled with arrows. He could do nothing about Temujin’s tactic—his cultivation of the Golden Light Spell had only lasted a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Covering his entire body in golden light was already a feat; his horse was beyond his protection. Yet even with his horse dead, his speed remained unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leapt into the air, stepping on the shoulders of countless Mongol soldiers, advancing swiftly. As he leapt again, he hurled his spear with all his strength toward Temujin’s mount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin tumbled from his horse. By now, Temujin’s main army had been routed by Nie Huaishang’s several thousand cavalry; only a few hundred personal guards remained beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the cavalry close in from all sides, Temujin fell into despair—when suddenly, the grasslands behind him shook violently, and thunderous battle cries echoed across heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Khan, do not fear—Muqali comes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Borokhul is here—none shall harm the Khan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The riders were Muqali and Borokhul. Having seen no sign of Temujin for long, they suspected disaster. They borrowed five thousand cavalry from Wang Han and led fifteen thousand of Temujin’s own cavalry to come to his aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Muqali. Borokhul.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin cried out in joy. The two rushed forward, forming a defensive line around him and facing off against Nie Huaishang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang stared coldly at Temujin. This was a kill-plot that had failed—now, killing Temujin would be infinitely harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Guo Jing arrived at the front, dragging the unconscious Golden Wheel Dharma Master. The Dharma Master’s Dragon and Elephant Power had ultimately failed against Guo Jing’s Five Thunder Correct Method—he now hung between life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you insist on saving Temujin’s life, then give me your own.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing raised his blade to sever the Dharma Master’s head—when a sharp voice shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing looked up at Temujin, wondering what he would say. Temujin spoke politely:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Friend, we have never been enemies. This clash must be a misunderstanding. Spare the Master’s life. I will pretend today never happened. Let us turn weapons into jade and silk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Temujin hate Guo Jing and Nie Huaishang? Of course he did. They had driven him to the brink of death multiple times and slaughtered nearly twenty thousand of his troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had lost nearly all his resources. Guo Jing had slain his top generals: Borjigit, Hobil, and Subutai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Borjigit had been Temujin’s childhood friend—they had once reclaimed eight horses from bandits together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These three had been his right and left arms for years. Now they lay dead at Guo Jing’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, Temujin wanted to tear these men apart with five horses. But he could not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true warlord must endure what others cannot. These seven thousand cavalry were elite—not the rabble of Jamukha.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with these two ten-thousand-man foes present, he might not even defeat them. Even if he won, the cost would be catastrophic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d lose at least ten thousand cavalry. And what of his sworn enemy, the Tatar tribe? After this battle, would he still have strength left to avenge his father’s death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Temujin had to swallow his raging fury. He swore: one day, these men would pay in blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Temujin’s words, Nie Huaishang lazily waved his hand behind him. His cavalry understood at once. Soon, they brought forward six captives: Temujin’s fourth son, now unconscious from Guo Jing’s palm strike, and his generals Chiltemun and Jelme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the six men brought forth, Temujin gasped. His chest wound flared, and pain nearly sent him into unconsciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After enduring the agony, Temujin threatened: “Release them at once. If they suffer harm, I swear I will kill you both.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1004,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b61749f73233944b65689644bd6dbd069320f8a2b4701a5fad5fc64c7c45771b","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-61","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-59",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
