Chapter 6: Innate Expert

Pfft!

"Wah!"

Zhang He turned his head to look.

He saw that a Xiongnu soldier had appeared behind him at some point.

If not for the saber Chu Feng had just sent flying over.

Then he would have already become a soul lost under the enemy's blade.

"Zhang, stay alert while fighting!"

Chu Feng arrived at Zhang He's side and pulled the long saber out of his body.

"Tha... thanks, brother!"

Zhang He said with lingering fear.

Just a moment ago, he had thought Chu Feng was so blinded by bloodlust that he was preparing to finish him off as well.

It turned out the other had just been saving him.

"After the battle is over, I'll take you to Yuchun Pavilion to have some fun!"

"Fine, I'll order ten girls then and bleed you dry!"

"Pah, ordering ten? Can your scrawny frame even handle that!"

Zhang He laughed and scolded.

The two exchanged a bit of banter.

Soon, another group of Xiongnu soldiers came charging toward them.

"Let's slaughter these Xiongnu brats first, then we brothers will go drink and make merry!"

"No problem!"

Chu Feng took the lead.

He executed the Eighteen Wind-Chasing Sabers to their limit.

The speed was so fast and the strikes so ruthless that they rivaled the force of lightning.

"My god, is this kid a freak?"

Watching Chu Feng slaughtering in all directions, Xu Hu felt it was unbelievable.

This kid's saber technique was even more skilled than his own.

Those Xiongnu soldiers who rushed onto the city wall soon became souls lost under Chu Feng's blade.

Even so, countless Xiongnu soldiers continued to climb onto the wall.

Chu Feng turned no one away.

He killed one if one came, and a pair if two came.

"Who is that lad? To be so exceptionally valiant!"

A middle-aged man watched the changes on the city wall and spotted Chu Feng, who was killing enemies like cutting grass, at a glance.

"General, that person appears to be a soldier under Xu Hu."

"Oh? Is that so!"

Zhao Ping nodded to himself, "With such valor, this man can be appointed to the rank of Centurion!"

What Chu Feng did not know was that his performance had already been noticed by those above.

But for now, he only had eyes for the enemy.

The more enemies he killed, the stronger his strength would become.

Due to the heroic performance of the Great Wei soldiers, the offensive of the Xiongnu army was greatly contained.

Xiongnu camp.

"Great King, the Great Chanyu has sent word, ordering the Great King to take Dingning Pass as soon as possible!"

"Fine, I know!"

The Zuo Xian dismissed the messenger and smashed the wine cup in his hand directly onto the ground, "Damn it, a tiny Dingning Pass has actually held back my army of one hundred thousand for half a month!"

"Great King, the defender of Dingning Pass is Zhao Ping. This man is our Xiongnu's number one enemy. Wanting to take Dingning Pass in a short time is likely..."

"Hmph, no matter how capable Zhao Ping is, can he withstand the siege of my one hundred thousand troops?"

The Zuo Xian snorted coldly, "Order Bei Hu, Yan Duo, Chang Ming, Meng Di, and Cang Hui to lead five thousand troops to attack Dingning Pass. You must take Dingning Pass within three days!"

"Th... three days, Great King, isn't that a bit too rushed?"

"Rushed? The Right Wise King is currently leading two hundred thousand troops to attack the Great Wei's Yushan Fortress, and it is said he has already gained the upper hand; taking it is only a matter of time."

"If I really let him take Yushan Fortress, won't I be lower than that guy in the future?"

"Yes, this subordinate will go handle it immediately!"

The Zuo Xian and the Right Wise King had never seen eye to eye.

The two were in a hostile, competitive relationship.

Both wanted to get the upper hand over the other.

In order to take Dingning Pass as quickly as possible, the Zuo Xian went all out.

In an instant.

Five Innate Realm experts led five thousand elite soldiers and marched imposingly toward Dingning Pass.

At this moment, although the Great Wei soldiers had resisted the fierce offensive of the Xiongnu army, they had also suffered great losses themselves.

Yet despite this, the enemy continued to swarm up from below in an endless stream.

"Immediately send two more battalions of soldiers to support; you must hold the city wall!"

"Yes, General!"

After the order was issued.

Two battalions of soldiers marched onto the city wall in a mighty force.

One battalion consists of two thousand soldiers, so two battalions naturally meant four thousand soldiers.

Adding the more than one thousand soldiers remaining on the city wall, the number of defenders at Dingning Pass increased directly to nearly six thousand.

Puchi!

"Damn it, these dog bastards just keep coming no matter how many I kill!"

Chu Feng complained as he slashed and killed another Xiongnu soldier with his blade.

Although killing enemies could earn very generous rewards, the endless stream of attackers was truly becoming too much for him to handle.

Moreover, he had already discovered that the rhythm of the Xiongnu soldiers' attacks was significantly stronger than before.

It looked very much like they were posturing to swallow Dingning Pass in one bite.

"Everyone, pay close attention. Looking at this posture, the enemy has probably gone mad; it is very likely they will dispatch even more formidable experts to assist."

"Even more formidable experts?"

Chu Feng blinked his eyes, "How formidable?"

"The enemy is very likely to dispatch experts of the Innate Realm to join the battle!"

Zhang He, who understood the situation, responded.

At the mention of Innate experts, Zhang He's heart trembled violently.

He had seen with his own eyes just how terrifying experts of the Innate Realm were.

They were massive weapons of war on the battlefield, capable of easily slaughtering vast numbers of ordinary soldiers with a mere wave of their hands or feet.

"Experts of the Innate Realm!"

Chu Feng, who had just arrived, had not yet witnessed the terror of Innate Realm experts.

But from the fearful look in Zhang He's eyes, it was clear that experts of this realm were definitely extraordinary.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

In the midst of his surprise.

A series of screams suddenly struck, instantly pulling Chu Feng back to reality from his thoughts.

He saw that the section of the city wall that had just been filled with people had instantly turned into a vacuum zone.

"What!"

Witnessing such power, Chu Feng was instantly shocked.

Looking again, he saw a Xiongnu general wearing armor and a large earring hanging from his ear appear on his section of the city wall.

"Bei Hu!"

Xu Hu recognized the person at a glance.

This person was a capable general under the Zuo Xian, with cultivation at the Innate Initial Stage.

"Great Wei dog bastards, today I will let you taste the flavor of the long blade in my hands, Lord Bei!"

Swish!

With one swing of his blade, an incomparable and terrifying blade Qi instantly slaughtered dozens of Great Wei soldiers.

Countless Xiongnu soldiers also immediately took advantage of this gap to climb onto the city wall.

The battle situation suddenly became precarious.

"Bei Hu, stop being so presumptuous!"

As soon as the words fell.

A white-robed man holding a long spear also appeared here.

This person was named Xu Hong, a Deputy General under the Dingning Pass garrison commander Zhao Ping.

As soon as he appeared.

Xu Hong swung the long spear in his hand and instantly cleared away the wave of Xiongnu soldiers who had climbed onto the city wall.

"Xu Hong, today I must determine who is superior between us!"

"Come on!"

The two were old rivals, and as soon as they met, the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder.

In an instant, the two engaged in a fierce confrontation.

Because the two were extremely powerful.

The shockwaves of their battle could easily kill a Martial Artist.

Therefore, the area where the two were located had effectively become a land of death.

At the same time.

Xiongnu Innate Realm experts appeared in several other places simultaneously.

Other Innate Realm experts of Dingning Pass also joined the battle.

Soldier against soldier!

General against general!

Both sides used Dingning Pass as a gladiatorial arena, fighting an incredibly tragic meat-grinder battle.

The battle continued until evening before it ended.

The Dingning Pass garrison suffered over three thousand casualties.

The Xiongnu suffered even more, with the number of casualties reaching a terrifying ten thousand.

"Damn it, those bastards have finally retreated!"

Chu Feng leaned on his notched long saber and plopped down onto the ground.

The others were all the same.

Today's battle was the most difficult one they had ever fought in their lives.

They had almost thought they were going to lose their lives in there.

At the same time.

The new garrison troops had already climbed onto the city wall and completed the handover with Chu Feng's defensive unit.

They then went down to rest and reorganize.

General's Mansion.

"General, our army has suffered heavy casualties this time, and the available forces are down to only a little over ten thousand men."

Zhao Ping's expression turned terrifyingly grim upon hearing his subordinate's report.

With such massive losses, he feared Dingning Pass would be breached by the Xiongnu army before long.

"General, can the imperial court really not spare any manpower?"

"Heh, those fellows are currently busy fighting for power and profit; how could they care whether we live or die!"

Zhao Ping sneered.

He no longer held any hope for the imperial court.

"Then other places..."

"Yushan Fortress is currently under attack by the one-hundred-thousand-strong army of the Xiongnu Right Wise King; their situation is not optimistic either, so they certainly cannot spare any hands to support us!"

Zhao Ping said helplessly.

Given their current troop strength, they could hold out for at most three days.

Once three days passed, Dingning Pass would surely fall.

"General, what should we do then?"

"At this point, we can only use that move!"

"Oh? Does the General mean..."
