I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Zhang Yuan's stunning strike was so dazzling that it practically blinded the remaining barbarian experts.

The southern mountains of Thailand stretch for thousands of miles, with towering peaks, deep ravines, and numerous canyons. Coupled with the ferocious beasts and monsters that dwell in the mountains, they form a natural barrier that stretches across the north and south.

This completely blocked the northward migration route of the barbarian tribes from the wild and marshy southwestern lands.

These barbarians, who had traveled over mountains and valleys to harass Danyang City, were all strong.

They not only possess formidable strength, but are also adept at mountain warfare, and are known for their bravery and belligerence.

Even when facing a powerful enemy, we will never be afraid or back down!
However, Zhang Yuan only needed one strike to easily awaken the deepest fear in the hearts of these barbarian warriors.

It made them truly experience the fear of death.

More than a dozen heads flew high into the air and landed with a thud, while corpses with severed necks spurting blood slumped to the ground.

Under the cover of night, the scene appeared exceptionally tragic and terrifying!
Before the other barbarian warriors could recover from their shock and disbelief, Zhang Yuan launched another attack.

He suddenly lunged forward and swung his Taotie sword at a barbarian warrior.

This strike was simple and unadorned, without even producing a single inch of blade light.

But the speed was simply unbelievable!
The barbarian warrior only realized the danger the moment the blade was about to strike, and there was no time to dodge or parry.

puff!
As the blade slashed down, a mighty and valiant warrior was instantly split in two.

Zhang Yuan didn't stop, his figure flashing past like a ghost, his Xuanbing weapon sweeping out to the right.

"what!"

With a piercing scream, the two barbarian warriors were cut in two at the waist by a sudden burst of blade light.

The four pieces of his body fell to the ground with a thud.

One of them was incredibly resilient and hadn't died immediately, his screams of agony continuing.

However, Zhang Yuan did not show him any mercy and gave him a quick death. He changed direction again and darted to the left.

The sharp edge of the Taotie blade pierced the darkness once again!

In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty barbarian warriors perished under Zhang Yuan's blade.

The remaining barbarians, witnessing the tragic state of their companion, instantly lost all their fighting spirit. They let out a series of strange cries and fled into the depths of the dense forest.

They were very familiar with the terrain and environment of the mountains in southern Thailand, and it was entirely possible for them to escape under the cover of night.

But the problem is, how could Zhang Yuan possibly stand by and watch these murderers who killed the sentries escape right under his nose?

He moved like lightning, catching up with a barbarian who was desperately fleeing in just a few breaths.

This barbarian was quite strong. Sensing danger at the last second, he suddenly turned around and swung his curved blade at Zhang Yuan.

They intended to fight Zhang Yuan to the death!
Of course, the barbarian's only goal was to force Zhang Yuan to retreat, thus creating an opportunity for himself to escape.

Zhang Yuan completely ignored the opponent's counterattack. The slashing momentum of the Taotie Blade did not hesitate or stop for a moment, and it cleaved the opponent in two.

The barbarian warrior's final counterattack, however, was powerless before he even touched Zhang Yuan!
Having dealt with the enemy, Zhang Yuan turned his gaze to the depths of the dense forest.

An almost eerie crimson light flickered in his dark eyes.

The next moment, Zhang Yuan switched the Taotie knife in his hand into the Eagle-Shooting Bow.

A fine iron arrow was firmly nocked on the bowstring!
Whoosh!
The arrow pierced the dense forest in an instant, followed by a shrill scream from the depths.

Zhang Yuan switched perspectives again.

Above the night sky, the Crimson-Eyed Raven coldly looked down at the mountains and forests below, the light flashing in its eyes exactly the same as Zhang Yuan's!
In just a few breaths, Zhang Yuan disappeared into the dark forest with his eagle-shooting bow.

A moment later, screams came from somewhere else.

Then came the second, third, and fourth sounds... Although the distances and directions were different, they were all equally chilling.

Until it is completely quiet.

After a long while, Zhang Yuan's figure reappeared near the watchtower.

The bloodthirsty aura surrounding him almost solidified into a tangible form!

After glancing at the two corpses of the sentries on the ground, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath and then used his movement technique to rush towards Danyang City.

Before long, he returned to the garrison headquarters.

Inside the White Tiger Hall, Li Shiwen and Lü Xiong were still waiting.

Both of them looked solemn, but upon seeing Zhang Yuan return safely, their expressions immediately turned to relief and joy.

Li Shiwen couldn't help but ask, "Sir..."

Zhang Yuan waved his hand to interrupt the other party and said, "I have killed all the barbarians who came to cause trouble. Send someone to collect the bodies of the two fallen brothers, cremate them, and give them a proper burial. Don't forget to send their families compensation money."

"They...they were all killed?"

Li Shiwen opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a moment.

Since the internal strife broke out in Danyang City, which resulted in the serious injury of the former garrison commander Li Heng and heavy losses to the Dao Camp, the southwestern barbarians have swarmed around it like flies that smell blood, launching frequent raids.

Because the city was not at peace and the garrison was unable to fight, they could only consolidate their forces and defend the city.

This allowed the barbarian experts to run rampant for several days.

No one dared to act rashly; they were furious but helpless.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan had just arrived when he decisively launched a personal attack, wiping out all the barbarian experts who had come to attack.

Although Li Shiwen was of low strength, he knew that Zhang Yuan would never boast or lie about this matter.

Otherwise, how could they have the face and confidence to sit firmly in their position of leadership?
This fact is truly astonishing.

Li Shiwen knew very well how troublesome the barbarian warriors were; Zhang Yuan dealt with them as easily as slicing melons and chopping vegetables.

It's really incredible!

"I obey my orders!"

While Li Shiwen was still in a daze, Lü Xiong, who was standing to the side, was the first to bow and respond to the order.

"Go."

Zhang Yuan nodded, then said to Li Shiwen, who looked ashamed, "Li Sima, please tell me about the situation of the barbarians on the other side of the mountain."

Li Shiwen considered himself to be a man of great wisdom and profound knowledge, but his earlier lapse in composure made him feel ashamed. He quickly replied, "You flatter me, sir. I will certainly speak frankly and without reservation!"

The barbarian force that had been harassing Danyang City, or rather, threatening this strategic pass for decades, was called the Wutai tribe. They occupied a vast territory in the southwestern region of the Tainan Mountains and had a population of hundreds of thousands.

In terms of both territory size and population, the Wutai tribe can be considered a major force among the barbarians.

The Wutai tribe not only has many skilled warriors, but even its ordinary members are brave and warlike.

They viewed Danyang Daocheng as a thorn in their side.

Because the Wutai tribe considers the entire southern Thai mountain range to belong to them.

However, the only canyon passage was blocked by Danyang City, which naturally made them extremely unhappy.

Removing this "thorn in the side" has always been the wish of the Wutai tribe! (End of Chapter)
