Chapter 1333: Reduced by even half

They were the only thirty thousand soldiers in Qingyuan city, the ones he had cultivated with all his heart and soul.

Although he had now become a general, his feelings for Qingyuan city had not been reduced by even half.

He had lived here for ten years and fought here countless times.

Outside Qingyuan city, the great army led by Gu Yi was moving forward slowly.

At this moment, the sound of hoofbeats came from the distance, followed by several cavalry units galloping over quickly.

Gu Yi knit his brows, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that those who came were not well-intentioned.

He was not worried; after all, his army was composed of elites.

As long as they did not encounter anyone too powerful, they would definitely be able to win.

It was just...

Who were they? Why would they suddenly attack them?

Could it be that their identities had been exposed?

That was impossible!

During this period, they had always acted according to the plan and had not exposed any identities.

They did not believe that the other side could find out their identities.

"Stop advancing!" Gu Yi said loudly.

He knew that now was not the time to be brave and fierce; he should calm down and find a way to solve the problem.

"Yes!" Gu Yi's personal guards stopped immediately.

Gu Yi rode his horse forward and looked at the enemy army ahead. Guan Ping led his army out of the city, preparing to meet Gu Yi in battle personally. He wore a silver battle robe, his posture was upright, and his face was solemn and resolute. He held a long spear that flickered with a cold light, and fresh blood still remained on the tip of the spear, highlighting his fearless combat experience.

Under his leadership, his army marched in neat and orderly rows. They were all clad in heavy armor, holding sharp blades, and their momentum was imposing. The sound of iron armor and combat boots colliding echoed outside Qingyuan city, as if foreshadowing the coming war.

Guan Ping's gaze was firm and sharp; he glanced at the soldiers beside him, his gaze revealing a firm determination. They were his brothers; they had guarded Qingyuan city together and witnessed countless victories and predicaments.

At this moment, they seemed to have merged into a whole, and everyone exuded an incomparably powerful will to fight.

As the sound of the horn rang out, Guan Ping commanded the army to move forward slowly. The soldiers' steps were firm, their expressions solemn, and every step seemed to be stepping on the enemy's heart. They had no fear, only a desire for victory and anger toward Gu Yi.

Guan Ping's gaze swept across the army, boosting the soldiers' morale. His voice resounded through the sky: "Brothers, today we will fight Gu Yi to the death! We are the guardians of Qingyuan city and the defenders of our home! We will never retreat!"

The soldiers responded loudly one after another: "Swear to defend Qingyuan city to the death and protect our home!"

Guan Ping took a deep breath, surging combat intent welling up in his heart. He gripped his long spear tightly, held his head high, and led the army to charge forward. Every step carried firmness and belief; their target was Gu Yi, and they were going to fight for the dignity and glory of Qingyuan city.

Their footsteps became firmer and firmer, the sound of war drums rumbled, and the whistling wind seemed to foreshadow the coming of a bloody battle. A fervent desire for battle burned in Guan Ping's eyes; he firmly believed that his army would definitely be able to defeat Gu Yi and defend the glory of Qingyuan city.

A confident smile curled at the corner of his mouth, as if he had already seen the scene of victory.

Guan Ping was not afraid; he was already prepared to meet the challenge, and he was going to personally defeat Gu Yi and protect the peace and dignity of his home.

"Gu Yi, I, Guan Ping, will definitely take you down today and defend the honor of Qingyuan city!"

Guan Ping roared, his eyes filled with confidence and combat intent. He believed that with his own strength, he would definitely be able to defeat Gu Yi.

"Guan Ping!" Gu Yi looked at Guan Ping in the distance, was silent for a moment, and finally called out.

His eyes were filled with mockery; he had not expected that Guan Ping would dare to appear before him personally.

"Gu Yi, have you ever heard of my name?" Guan Ping asked coldly.

"Who are you? Why would I know you?" Gu Yi said indifferently.

Gu Yi's tone was filled with contempt and disdain; he did not take it to heart at all. In his view, Guan Ping was nothing more than a dog, not worth his attention, and he had to be careful and cautious.

Cheers from the soldiers came from all around; they felt proud of Gu Yi.

They also knew that Gu Yi had done this to protect them, and they were filled with gratitude.

Listening to the cheers of the soldiers, the disdain on Gu Yi's face became even thicker; he stopped paying attention to Guan Ping and turned to continue walking forward.

"Gu Yi, you are truly arrogant! Have you ever heard of me, Guan Ping? Today I will let you understand what a strong person is!" Guan Ping roared.

Gu Yi did not respond to Guan Ping again, his footsteps remaining calm and unhurried.

Guan Ping was enraged by Gu Yi's attitude; his palm tightened abruptly, and ghastly white bones suddenly emerged from his long spear, a chilling aura permeating the air. His legs bent slightly, and his body shot toward Gu Yi like an arrow released from a bowstring. His movements were as fast as lightning, appearing before Gu Yi in an instant, the long spear in his hand thrusting fiercely toward him.

"Gu Yi, go to hell!"

The long spear tore through the battlefield in the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Gu Yi's pupils contracted; he saw Guan Ping's long spear, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his figure retreated rapidly by two steps.

The tip of the long spear grazed Gu Yi's clothes, tearing Gu Yi's armor, and bright red blood splattered, splashing onto Gu Yi's face.

"That was close!"

Gu Yi wiped the blood off his face; he had just dodged a fatal attack. He secretly cursed in his heart that Guan Ping's reaction was truly not bad; if he had been just a beat slower, he feared he would have been pierced through the chest by the long spear.

A cold, icy glint flowed in his gaze; he looked at Guan Ping opposite him and said coldly: "Guan Ping, you are truly courting death!"

"Courting death?" Guan Ping laughed loudly, "Today, you will definitely die!"

As he spoke, Guan Ping's figure had already appeared beside Gu Yi. He brandished the long spear and stabbed toward Gu Yi, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Gu Yi, I want you to pay with your life!" Guan Ping roared, the long spear turning into countless spear shadows, stabbing madly toward Gu Yi.

Guan Ping's spear technique was exquisite, and his movements were also very swift, every move filled with overbearing power, making it impossible to guard against. However, these attacks landed on Gu Yi as if they were hitting cotton, posing no threat at all.

Gu Yi's figure was as fast as lightning, leaving behind trails of afterimages in place as he dodged Guan Ping's attacks.

"Hmph, Gu Yi, use whatever means you have; I want to see if you can really withstand my, Guan Ping's, attacks!" A look of disdain appeared on Guan Ping's face.

A cold sneer appeared on Guan Ping's face, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes.

He felt that Gu Yi was unbearable to listen to, as he didn't even take out his weapon. ===== CHAPTER 1334 =====
