With the rise of my family, I can summon the Daoist Soldiers' Nest.

In fact, this top-notch martial artist shouldn't have been here at all.

It was only after hearing the detailed account from the fleeing second-rate martial artist that the members of the shamanic sect learned that Lin Ye was actually a young master whose lightness skill had reached the pinnacle.

In order to completely eliminate any future troubles and prevent Lin Ye from rising to prominence and causing harm, the Shamanic Church specially arranged for this powerful first-class martial artist to be stationed here. He not only had profound cultivation, but also had two Frost Wolf Guards with him.

This is not because shamanism values ​​other things and did not send out acquired martial artists.

In fact, the acquired martial artists of the Northern Xiongnu had fully engaged in the fierce battle. The continuous booming sounds coming from afar were the sounds caused by the clash of internal forces between the two sides' acquired experts.

At this moment, Lin Ye was completely unaware of this targeting, and all he could think about was how to break the deadlock.

While he could certainly shake off the three men with his lightness skill, once he left, the three men, no longer restrained, would have no more scruples and would be no match for the Lin family soldiers behind him.

However, at this critical moment, the Lin family army, which the Lin family had poured countless efforts into building, finally erupted and showed astonishing combat power.

As our high-level martial artists restrain the enemy's strongmen, the battleground is limited to a localized battlefield where the highest-ranking martial artists are no more than third-rate.

Led by those third-rate martial arts captains, the Lin family soldiers began to form ranks and launched a fierce counterattack.

Lin Hu and Tian Han, two third-rate martial artists, took the lead, each time leading their captains to charge into the enemy ranks and forcefully break through the Northern Xiongnu soldiers' formation.

The spearmen following behind took the opportunity to thrust their spears straight forward, while the swordsmen and shieldmen raised their shields like walls, steadily advancing forward.

Under this well-organized offensive, the Lin family army gradually stabilized its rout and organized an effective counterattack, forcefully blocking the surging offensive of the Northern Xiongnu army.

Immediately afterwards, the Lin family army pressed on with renewed vigor, and the ordinary soldiers gradually regained their footing, adapted to the bloody battlefield environment, and brought their well-honed military formations to their fullest potential.

They gathered in small groups to surround and kill the elite Northern Xiongnu soldiers who had stormed the city walls.

Although the Northern Xiongnu soldiers were quite capable in individual combat, they were ultimately limited by the width of the city walls, and only a few could manage to break through.

With the Lin family army's formation stabilized, these scattered enemy troops began to retreat steadily.

On the city wall, Northern Xiongnu soldiers were killed one after another. Some entire squads of Northern Xiongnu soldiers even let out desperate howls as their comrades roared and squeezed them from behind, and were eventually pushed and shoved off the towering city wall.

At the same time, the siege ladders erected beside the city wall were also cut down by third-rate warriors, and more soldiers worked together to push them down.

On the towering siege tower, several third-rate martial artists led a team to block the exit, preventing the Northern Xiongnu soldiers inside from setting foot on the city wall.

Deprived of supplies and surrounded and cut off, the Northern Xiongnu soldiers who managed to climb the city walls were gradually whittled down and eliminated until the last one was driven off the city wall.

Except for the three areas where Lin Ye and his group were still engaged in fierce fighting, the rest of the city wall miraculously returned to its original defensive posture.

Finally, several third-rate martial artists managed to break free from the entanglement and immediately joined Liu Yun and Lin Qiang in the encirclement and suppression of the Frost Wolf Guards.

At this moment, Liu Yun and Lin Qiang were already covered in frost, and even their cheeks were covered with a layer of white frost.

Both men suffered serious injuries; Liu Yun's chest and Lin Qiang's arm were pierced by the wolf guards' claws.

Fortunately, the cold air instantly sealed the wound, preventing the blood from flowing out, but it also froze the skin and flesh stiff.

In contrast, the two Frost Wolf Guards, though also wounded, mostly sustained only superficial injuries that did not affect their bones and muscles, and still maintained their ferocious appearance.

Fortunately, the timely arrival of these third-rate martial artists allowed Liu Yun and Lin Qiang, whose pressure had been greatly reduced, to catch their breath. They quickly circulated their internal energy to dispel the chill and dispel the frost around them.

The battle situation gradually moved towards a balance.

Seeing this, Liu Yun decisively abandoned the longsword and put on a thick-backed broadsword.

After all, when facing such tough and heavily armored Taoist soldiers with amazing defenses, a thin longsword is indeed unlikely to cause fatal wounds; only a heavy blade can break through the thick fur and muscle.

In just a short while, under the leadership of Lin Hu and Tian Han, the Lin family army unleashed astonishing combat power, and the situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, with the tide turning in an instant.

This change caused a sense of unease to arise in the heart of the top-tier martial artist who was locked in combat with Lin Ye for the first time.

Although each swing of his bone staff still brought a whistling wind, the stones that hit the city wall shattered and flew everywhere.

But Lin Ye had already begun to try to block his moves with his longsword. It was obvious that this first-class martial artist's internal energy was being rapidly depleted by the intense confrontation.

After all, the bone staff was heavy, and facing Lin Ye's tricky and swift longsword attacks, he had to frequently swing the weapon to block, and his internal energy consumption was far greater than that of ordinary weapons.

The two second-rate martial artists beside him were in an even more awkward position. Their movements were completely unable to keep up with Lin Ye's ghostly speed, making them almost a burden in the battle and unable to provide any substantial assistance.

Even more frustratingly, whenever they tried to leave and go to support the two Frost Wolf Guards who were locked in a fierce battle, Lin Ye's sword would always block their way immediately.

Given Lin Ye's unpredictable lightness skill, they dared not turn their backs to him, fearing that they would be killed by a sword if they turned around. Helpless, they could only be dragged into this area by Lin Ye.

At this point, the balance of power on the entire battlefield was gradually tilting in favor of the Lin family army.

Just as Liu Yun severed the arm of one of the Frost Wolf Guards with a single strike, rendering it incapable of fighting, the leading first-class shaman warrior finally realized that the situation was hopeless and dared not linger in battle.

He suddenly unleashed his inner strength, sweeping his bone staff to force Lin Ye back. Then, he sprang up and shot towards the edge of the city wall, intending to escape.

Seeing this, the two second-rate martial artists hurriedly followed behind, attempting to break through the encirclement.

This was the moment Lin Ye had been waiting for.

This time, he was besieged by the three of them and became trapped in a quagmire, which led to the collapse of the defense line. Countless Lin family soldiers died tragically under the swords of the Northern Xiongnu.

If Lin Hu and others hadn't stepped forward and led the Lin family army in an attack, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lin Ye had been holding back a lot of resentment, and now that he saw the three of them daring to turn their backs and run away, how could he let them go?

Lin Ye instantly channeled his inner energy into his legs, pushing his lightness skill to its limit. His movements were like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, and he traversed space in just a few leaps.

Appearing directly above the two people behind him, he flicked his longsword, and in an instant, countless sword shadows covered the two of them like a blanket.

Caught off guard, the two had no choice but to turn around hastily to block, but this turn and blockade fell right into Lin Ye's trap again, and they were dragged to the spot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Liu Yun, Lin Qiang and others had already swarmed over. Under the three's siege, the two second-rate martial artists were killed in a flurry of blows in no time.

At that very moment, on the battlefield below, the mournful bugle call of the Northern Xiongnu army sounded in retreat.

The Northern Xiongnu army, which had been fiercely attacking the city, began to withdraw from the battlefield rapidly, like the receding tide.
