On the other side of the mountain, Hu Ge, the number one warrior under the command of the Left Wise King of the Western Hu, was completely stunned.
Their intelligence indicated that Li Chang'an's Black Armor Dragon Riders and Snow Dragon Riders were replenishing their armor and weaponry in Langya City.
Therefore, Li Chang'an only had five hundred Shadow Guards by his side.
The Qin family transferred more than a dozen siege crossbows from the Dingzhou border army, along with a thousand elite veterans to assassinate them.
The Western Hu Left Wise King tribe, which originally came to take advantage of the chaos, encountered Qin Yi, who had come to negotiate.
If the Xihu send their elite troops to assassinate Li Chang'an, they can be allowed to plunder Qingzhou for a month after the mission is accomplished.
There are many members of the Ye family in the Dingzhou border army, so it was already quite remarkable that Qin Yi was able to secretly mobilize a thousand elite troops.
The Xihu people, however, had no such concerns and immediately dispatched two thousand elite soldiers to ambush them at Hongshankou.
Seeing the commotion on the opposite mountain, how could Hu Ge not understand the situation?
"Retreat! Retreat now! The enemy has a Grandmaster!"
These Hu people were seeing the legendary Grandmaster for the first time.
Seeing the gushing blood mist rising from the opposite mountain, these barbarians only regretted not having ridden horses for the ambush.
More than two thousand people turned and ran!
"It's too late to run."
As they spoke, Li Chang'an had already arrived behind these Hu people.
Watching the Hu people fleeing in a frenzy, Li Chang'an slowly raised both hands.
A white mist shrouded one hand, icy cold, yet it was the Yangchun Baixue of the Tianshan Six Yang Palm!
His other hand was surrounded by a faint red light, and was as hot as a furnace. It was the Sunset Melting Gold of the Tianshan Six Yang Palm!
The Northern Dark Ice True Qi and the Northern Dark Pure Yang True Qi in his hands were gathering from his whole body into his palms!
"Boom! Boom!"
After two loud bangs, two enormous hands, one white and one red, landed on the ground!
Each palm covered an area of several dozen feet on the ground. The white-clad Hu people covered by the palms quickly froze and shattered, while the red-clad ones instantly turned into ashes!
Whether it's people, plants, trees, or rocks, everything turns to dust!
As Li Chang'an's mastery of the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) improved, his physical body became increasingly powerful.
Now, Li Chang'an's physical body can store true qi at 70% capacity.
The Northern Darkness True Qi is as vast as the sea; the greater the total amount of True Qi, the stronger its attack power!
The pure white snow of early spring and the molten gold of the setting sun crashed to the ground, stretching wildly across the earth!
Those fleeing barbarians were caught up by the raging fire and the black ice, and then turned to ashes!
"Devil!"
"He's not human!"
No! He is a god!
"If they are not gods, how could they possess such powerful supernatural abilities!"
They are right. Human grandmasters have reached the limit of transforming the primordial energy of heaven and earth.
The terrifying abilities they displayed were truly beyond human comprehension!
One by one, the Hu people gave up fleeing and devoutly worshipped Li Chang'an.
"Gods, spare my life!"
"We were wrong!"
"We should not blaspheme the gods..."
However, the merciless Xuanbing True Qi and Pure Yang True Qi relentlessly engulfed them.
In the blink of an eye, the land within a mile in front of them was barren, leaving only fine sand of unknown origin.
More than two thousand people vanished in an instant!
"Spare me! I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness!"
Hu Ge had already run away, but seeing that Li Chang'an wasn't chasing him, he immediately obediently returned.
He knew very well that Li Chang'an had given him a chance to come back.
Otherwise, a casual burst of true energy would have killed him.
"Speak, who instigated this?"
Smelling the pervasive stench of blood, Hu Ge said tremblingly, "Qin Yi, you are from the Qin family of Nanqing."
He honestly confessed to his deal with the Qin family, hoping only to survive.
This man was a close confidant of the Left Wise King and knew the location of the Western Hu royal court very well.
After the Ink-Armored Dragon Riders and the Great Snow Dragon Riders changed into their new outfits, they used Hu Ge as their guide and directly took down the Western Hu Royal Court.
This will save us from having to deal with these barbarian people again.
Li Chang'an returned to the group, and the Shadow Guards who had been cleaning up the battlefield also returned.
Since there's nothing to clean up, a Grandmaster's killings are truly thorough, leaving no trace.
Three days later, Li Chang'an arrived at Yangguan.
Seeing that none of the five hundred Shadow Guards had been lost, Qin Yi could hardly believe his eyes.
When Qin Yi saw the dozen or so siege crossbows that the Shadow Guards carried in, he felt a cold wind blow from his heels to the top of his head.
A thousand elite Dingzhou soldiers, plus two thousand brutal Xihu people, armed with powerful bows and crossbows, failed to harm a single hair on Li Chang'an's head.
This rising star of the second generation of the Qin family sensed that he was in danger.
Ye Zhong went north to Langya Town to defend the Western Qin State, and Gong Dian was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Dingzhou Army.
This former commander of the Imperial Guards originally came from the Dingzhou Army, and his prestige was enough to keep him in check.
Li Chang'an rode his horse into the city gate. On the city gate and on both sides of the road, soldiers shouted in unison.
"Welcome back in triumph, Grand Commander!"
Each shout was louder and more enthusiastic than the last!
For these soldiers, nothing is more exciting than expanding territory.
Li Chang'an stopped at the command platform in the center of the city, and the generals of Dingzhou came to pay their respects.
"Look at these siege crossbows, whose are they?"
Li Chang'an pointed at the siege crossbow and spoke to his generals in a chilling tone.
Several generals stepped forward to inspect the weapons and recognized them at a glance as the weapons of the Dingzhou army.
Li Chang'an then said, "I was ambushed at Hongshankou, and the enemy used this kind of siege crossbow."
Gentlemen, you had better confess yourselves to avoid implicating innocent people.
Not far from the siege crossbow, Hu Ge, trembling, was secretly glancing at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's face was deathly pale, and his palms were sweaty.
If Hu Ge is captured alive, the possibility of him implicating Hu Ge is extremely high!
At this moment, Wang Qinian stepped forward and said, "Hu Ge, who conspired with you to assassinate the Grand Commander?"
Hu Ge immediately said, "It's him, your General Qin Yi!"
All the generals and soldiers below the stage turned their attention to Qin Yi, the rising star general of the Qin family.
At this point, Qin Yi walked up to Li Chang'an and knelt down.
"It was because I resented the Grand Commander for not giving me an important position that I resorted to this desperate measure. I confess my guilt."
Li Chang'an then asked, "Who ordered you to do this?"
Qin Yi insisted, "This was all my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Whether you kill me or torture me is entirely up to the Grand Commander!"
Li Chang'an said coldly, "You've brought this upon yourself."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and pinched it in mid-air, instantly producing a thin slice of ice in his hand!
Before the generals could even see clearly, a thin shard of ice had already pierced Qin Yi's neck.
The true energy that was sealed by that thin layer of ice instantly began to surge wildly within Qin Yi's body!
The wondrous uses of the Northern Darkness True Qi: the Life and Death Talisman!
Qin Yi, a dignified eighth-rank peak martial artist, was itchy all over and rolled on the ground howling in pain.
His face and neck were covered in bloody scratches from his own claws!
There was nothing he could do about the Life and Death Talisman planted by a Grandmaster.
"Great Commander, spare my life!"
