Lin Feng had already prepared ropes deep in the valley, along with defensive shields.

But the Northern Barbarians arrived unexpectedly. Just as Lin Feng and the others had tied the ropes, Zheng Yan had already caught up with them.

In an instant, arrows, spears, and lances rained down, unleashing a brutal massacre on the hundred or so men under Lin Feng's command.

Lin Feng was undoubtedly their primary target.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Two arrows shot through the air at high speed. Lin Feng quickly raised his shield to block them, and heard two muffled thuds.

Although the shield firmly blocked the arrow, Lin Feng was slammed against the rock wall by the impact.

"Whoosh!"

Just as he deflected two arrows, another short spear came whistling through the air.

Lin Feng braced his feet against the rock wall and swung his body to narrowly avoid the attack.

"Clang!"

The short spear pierced straight into the rock face where Lin Feng had just been standing, sending stone chips flying.

Just as they narrowly escaped an attack, another volley of arrows came raining down.

Fortunately, the Northern Barbarian army pursued them in the mountains for several days, and their arrows were severely depleted.

If there were plenty of arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, even a god would be riddled with holes.

Perched atop the cliff, Feng Qing was frantic with worry upon seeing this scene. She immediately barked out the order: "Archers, prepare! Fire!"

The Qian army had only a few hundred archers to begin with.

However, the tips of their arrows were all wrapped with strips of cloth soaked in pine resin.

Once ignited by a torch, the arrows transform into blazing fire arrows.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Rockets rained down on the northern barbarian army, igniting the withered branches and leaves on the ground the moment they hit the ground.

Beneath the fallen leaves, a large amount of pine oil and resin had already been buried.

"call!"

Suddenly, raging flames rose up, and many northern barbarian soldiers had no time to dodge. They were engulfed by the flames and rolled on the ground, howling in agony.

"Don't panic!"

Zheng Yan's eyes were fixed on Lin Feng. He pointed at the figure on the cliff and roared, "Kill Lin Feng first! Take his dog's life!"

Before he finished speaking, Zheng Yan snatched the short spear from his personal guard and threw it at Lin Feng himself.

He possessed superhuman strength; once the short spear left his hand, it transformed into a deadly weapon, hurtling straight toward Lin Feng's face with a whistling gust of wind.

Lin Feng struggled to maintain his balance while desperately dodging the attacks from the short spears.

"Snap!"

With a sharp crack, the shield in his hand was struck by the short spear and cracked.

The remaining force caused Lin Feng's armor to rattle and clang.

The armor Lin Feng wore was a gift from Zhang Liao. Although it was old, it remained exceptionally sturdy due to proper maintenance.

However, the armor could protect him once, but it couldn't stop the repeated attacks.

Despite the fact that the cliff was only a little over 30 feet high, and despite Lu Zheng and the others pulling him up with all their might, Lin Feng still suffered several injuries.

He was hit in the shoulder by an arrow, and his thigh was grazed by the arrow.

The most dangerous thing was the short spear that Zheng Yan threw. If Lin Feng hadn't been incredibly strong and managed to block it, the spear would have pierced his neck.

Once Lin Feng had finally reached the top of the cliff, he roared at Zheng Yan below, "Zheng Yan! Tonight, this place will be your burial ground! You will surely die!"

"boom!"

A loud roar suddenly came from the entrance of the valley, as if a heavy object had fallen and blocked the exit.

Flames rose and thick smoke billowed around him.

Lin Feng and others looked down from the cliff.

At this moment, Zheng Yan realized that he had fallen into Lin Feng's trap!

Zheng Yan could no longer curse Lin Feng and hurriedly led his soldiers to flee.

However, the entrance to the valley had long been blocked by countless trees and rocks.

It also contained a large amount of flammable substances such as pine oil and resin.

Above the valley entrance, Li Ping'an was leading his men to throw torches and fire rockets down, turning the valley entrance into a "volcano".

Upon seeing this, the soldiers of the Northern Barbarians were completely panicked.

The valley space was not large to begin with, and the fire broke out at the entrance and inside the valley at the same time.

Lin Feng is going to burn them alive inside!

"General, what should we do?" Guard Captain Zheng Gang asked urgently, his face filled with despair.

"Charge!"

Zheng Yan's answer was resolute: "If we can't break through here, none of us will survive!"

"The centurion oversees the battle, the centurion leads the troops, charge!"

"If one team is wiped out, switch to another!"

At the critical moment of life and death, Zheng Yan's inherent ferocity and madness erupted completely, and he even ordered his soldiers to charge into the sea of ​​fire at the cost of their lives.

The officers were dumbfounded upon hearing this, but none of them dared to disobey.

The memory of Zheng Yan killing the falconer is still fresh in my mind; anyone who resists will surely die!

The Northern Barbarian army then launched a suicidal charge.

The soldiers had no choice but to use their shields and their own bodies to charge through the sea of ​​fire, desperately smashing through the burning wood and rocks.

Meanwhile, on the high cliffs on both sides, the Qian army, which was constantly arriving, continued to shoot arrows and throw stones.

The casualties of the Northern Barbarian army skyrocketed instantly, with countless people using their own bodies to forcibly "extinguish the sea of ​​fire".

One by one, the northern barbarian soldiers rushed into the sea of ​​fire and were burned alive in an instant.

A strange, nauseating smell of burnt meat lingered at the mouth of the valley.

Just when Zheng Yan was in despair, Yuan Ye, who had been left outside, arrived with his men in time.

He not only brought reinforcements, but also many thick, long logs.

The group used long logs to pry open the rubble and charred wood at the mouth of the valley, barely managing to create a path for Zheng Yan and the remaining soldiers to escape.

In this battle, more than 1,700 Northern Barbarian soldiers perished in the flames.

The remaining Northern Barbarian soldiers were all still in shock.

But this life-or-death struggle is far from over.

Enraged, Zheng Yan led his remaining troops in a final, desperate battle against Lin Feng's forces above the valley.

At this point, the two sides were evenly matched in strength, and the battle was extremely chaotic.

There was no strategy involved; it was purely a head-on confrontation.

At the beginning of the chaotic battle, both sides were able to maintain their positions.

But later on, it was completely broken up.

The soldiers of both armies were divided into countless small teams to fight each other, and the battle raged so fiercely that the sun and moon were obscured.

By late at night, Lin Feng and Zheng Yan, the two main generals, had long since disappeared into the chaos of battle, and no one knew their whereabouts...

Deep in Elephant Trunk Hill.

"Buzz!"

The Soul-Snatching Halberd swept out under the moonlight, drawing a cold, silver arc.

Lin Feng quickly took half a step back, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Bang!"

He steadied himself and kicked a fist-sized piece of gravel.

"Whoosh!"

The shards of stone shot through the air and struck Zheng Yan squarely in the chest.

The blow was powerful and heavy. Zheng Yan's face contorted slightly in pain, but he still refused to take a single step back.

In the blink of an eye, Zheng Yan made another move, thrusting the Soul-Snatching Halberd straight at Lin Feng's throat.

At the same time, he activated the Qi circulation technique, and his speed suddenly increased!

Zheng Yan's agility value was already 22, far exceeding Lin Feng's.

The last time they fought in Jiming City, he was provoked by Lin Feng and insisted on a head-on confrontation, ultimately being injured by Lin Feng's superhuman strength.

But this time, Zheng Yan learned his lesson.

After activating the martial art that boosted speed, the Soul-Snatching Halberd left a trail of afterimages and arrived in front of Lin Feng in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Lin Feng had no time to block, so he could only bend down to dodge and crouch down to gather strength.

Just as the Soul-Snatching Halberd grazed overhead, Lin Feng leaped forward, drew his long sword from his waist, and slashed fiercely at Zheng Yan's ribs.

"Swish... hiss!"

The long sword grazed past the armor, eventually tearing Zheng Yan's clothes and flesh at the edge of the armor, leaving a shallow bloodstain.

"A scalpel?!"

Zheng Yan saw the long sword clearly, and his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.

Lin Feng breathed slightly, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Zheng Yan, you have a good eye!"

"Your brother's knife is perfect for killing you!"

Zheng Yan licked his chapped lips, took out a pill from his pocket, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"My brother's knife is poisoned; it can drain a person's strength. You think you can use that poison against me? Dream on!"

"Phew~"

A fierce mountain wind whipped across Zheng Yan's face as he chewed on a pill, his eyes gleaming with malice: "Lin Feng, this general will capture you alive, slice off pieces of your flesh, and devour you whole!"

Lin Feng turned his head slightly, looking at the cliff a dozen steps away, and said coldly, "Fine, today we'll decide who lives and who dies! It's either you or me!"

Before he finished speaking, the two were locked in combat again!
