93: Chapter 0093 The Lady's Spirit

"Leng Bingyan?"

Mu Wanying saw that as soon as the black-clad swordswoman reached the top of the wall, she casually dispatched two Barbarian Army soldiers who were climbing up.

"Why did you come up? What about the Lady!?"

Mu Wanying knew that Leng Bingyan was highly skilled and fast, making her best suited for the thick of the fighting, but she was supposed to be protecting Xiao Qingxuan.

"Qingxuan sent me to help you!"

"But..."

"Stop talking nonsense! The city gate won't hold for long, and if this place falls, it will be disastrous!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanying instantly calmed down. Indeed, they absolutely could not let the Barbarian Army break through from the inside!

Even so, she still felt touched in her heart.

Xiao Qingxuan had sent her own personal bodyguard to her side; she truly considered her one of her own!

With Leng Bingyan's assistance, the pressure on the city wall was immediately alleviated significantly.

At this moment, many commoners in the city carried clay jars up to the city wall.

"Quick! Everyone, quickly pour this coal down!!"

Xiao Qingxuan, with disheveled hair and covered in coal dust, had suddenly come up to the city wall as well.

"Qingxuan! Why are you here!?"

Mu Wanying was shocked; it was too dangerous here!

"We don't have enough oil, but my husband brought back a lot of coal. Burning hot coal is very scalding, it should be effective!"

Xiao Qingxuan was not overly afraid of the tragic scene before her; she had already seen too much.

Under her direction, the commoners tossed the clay jars down toward the foot of the city gate!

The burning hot coal scattered among the Barbarian Army, scorching them!

The Barbarian Army soldiers let out screams of agony, and the force of their battering ram weakened rapidly.

"It worked! It's effective!!"

Xiao Qingxuan was overjoyed; her strategy had finally helped.

Mu Wanying was moved to tears and laughter, a trace of admiration rising in her heart.

She had originally thought that Xiao Qingxuan only became Lin Xiao's primary wife because she arrived first.

But as the days passed, she felt increasingly inferior to her.

A frail woman with no martial arts skills was able to bravely stand on the front lines during a siege involving tens of thousands of soldiers. What kind of spirit was this?

"Wanying, my husband must be on his way back. We must hold out against this strongest wave of attacks!!"

Xiao Qingxuan offered a word of encouragement, then hurried down to continue mobilizing the citizens to burn coal.

Mu Wanying wiped the blood from her face and gave a self-deprecating smile. As a proud daughter of the Mu Family, she was actually inferior to a frail woman; it was truly shameful!

A long time passed.

The city gate still had not been breached.

In the Barbarian Army camp.

Marshal Suhe's expression was gloomy; he felt things were not going well.

"General Tumen, why is the siege so slow?"

General Tumen reported: "Marshal, the enemy has poured a large amount of burning hot coal below the city gate. Many of our soldiers have been burned!"

"Coal?"

Marshal Suhe was stunned. There was such a tactic for defending a city!?

Where on earth did Lin Xiao learn his military strategy?

Moreover, it stood to reason that Lin Xiao was not in the city. Could it be that he had already planned everything out?

"Add more scaling ladders, attack from both sides, and stretch the battle line! Break through from the inside!!"

"Yes!"

General Tumen was just about to issue the orders when he suddenly saw large numbers of cavalry arriving from the east and west sides of Baishui!

"Marshal! The Zhenbei Army is attacking from both sides!!"

Marshal Suhe gritted his teeth in rage, letting out a roar like a tiger.

"Cavalry, charge! They have been fighting all night; they will definitely not be a match for our army!!"

General Tumen obeyed the order, commanding all the cavalry on the flanks to launch a charge against the Zhenbei Army!

And among all the Zhenbei Army, there was one unit charging at the very front!

A man, wearing no helmet or armor, was traveling completely light.

He held a jet-black straight blade with an archaic design, his eyes as sharp as a falcon's.

On the city wall, Mu Wanying recognized the man's back at a glance!

"My husband!!"

The woman wept with joy; her husband was safe and had brought reinforcements!!

In an instant, Mu Wanying felt strength return to her entire body!

"Soldiers!! Lin Xiao has returned with reinforcements! We are about to win! Hold on!!"

The defending soldiers were greatly encouraged, cheering loudly and fighting even more valiantly!

At the same time, the Northern Barbarian Army was thrown into chaos!

"It... it's the God of Slaughter, Lin Xiao!!"

A few Northern Barbarian soldiers who had seen Lin Xiao before recognized him!

Lin Xiao had left an indelible fear in their hearts!

The dark-faced General Tumen saw this and laughed wildly.

"The God of Slaughter!? I, this general, will come to meet you!!"

As the number one fierce general under Marshal Suhe, General Tumen had great confidence in his own strength.

Riding his warhorse, he brandished a long-handled war hammer and charged head-on toward Lin Xiao!

"General Tumen, 37 years old, Northern Barbarian Tiger Guard General, Aptitude: Earth Grade"

"Technique 1: Giant Bear Spirit Incantation (54 years of cultivation) A technique of the Northern Barbarian Shamanism; after mastering it, one possesses immense strength. Grade: Earth Grade"

"Technique 2: War Bear Spear Technique (49 years of cultivation) A spear technique of the War Bear Tribe; can use heavy long-handled weapons. Grade: mystic grade"

"Weapon: Black Bear Iron Hammer, a weapon bestowed upon the number one warrior of the War Bear Tribe through the generations, forged with meteor iron. Grade: mystic grade"

Lin Xiao took one look and knew this was no small fry, so he did not dare to be careless.

Seeing the clash was imminent, General Tumen used the reach advantage of his long-handled war hammer to smash it down!

Lin Xiao rolled off his horse to dodge.

General Tumen quickly swung the war hammer, smashing down from above again, not giving Lin Xiao any chance to catch his breath!

Lin Xiao dodged two strikes in a row and was forced to unleash the Dragon Soaring Steps.

After increasing his speed, Lin Xiao used the Dragon Soaring Steps to get close, moving into the blind spot of the horse's belly, and slashed at General Tumen's thigh!

But General Tumen, despite his hulking physique, was very agile and actually jumped straight up from the horse's back!?

He swung the hammer toward Lin Xiao's head from above!

Lin Xiao had the advantage in speed, dodged in advance, and unleashed a Flowing Fire Rush.

The blade energy struck General Tumen's chain mail from the side, knocking him off his horse!

Seeing this, General Tumen suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, his internal energy erupting, and the muscles in his body instantly bulged!

It was the ultimate technique of the "Giant Bear Spirit Incantation": Bear Spirit Possession!

General Tumen swung his war hammer even faster, dancing like a gale, sweeping wildly!

Lin Xiao was secretly alarmed. If this guy charged into an army of ten thousand, he would be a human harvester; anyone who ran into him would be smashed into pulp!!

He could certainly dodge continuously to exhaust his opponent and wait for an opportunity to counter-kill.

But the current battle situation was changing rapidly, and the Zhenbei Army was already very exhausted. They needed him, their commander, to carve out a bloody path!

"Damn it... if only I had an Heaven Grade technique!"

Lin Xiao had no way to take a shortcut, so he had to steel himself and fight!

He leaped into the air and slashed down with a Waterfall strike!

General Tumen swung his hammer, moving even faster, and struck Lin Xiao's waist first!

"Courting death!!"

General Tumen sneered; no one in the entire Northern Barbarian Army could take a hit from his hammer head-on!

But the next second, General Tumen could not laugh anymore!

After taking the hammer hit head-on, Lin Xiao's body was tilted, but he was actually uninjured!?

In order to win, Lin Xiao had spared nothing, activating True Man Mode just for him!

Following through with his descent, Lin Xiao used the Blood Demon Blade Flame to slice across General Tumen's throat!

"Kill +1, Internal Energy +1, Prestige +130"

As General Tumen died with his eyes wide open and his mountain-like body collapsed with a crash, the group of Northern Barbarian soldiers behind him were instantly dumbfounded!!

"General... General Tumen is dead! —"

No one knew who shouted first, but the Northern Barbarian Army all wore expressions of horror!
