May I seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and live a long and prosperous life.

It has to be said that Chen Tianwang is also a complete sixth man.

Just in case, while most of his own Grandmasters and the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect set off to launch a surprise attack on the Chu army's camp, King Chen, along with the National Preceptor, the leader of the Blood Lotus Sect, several trusted generals, and several Grandmaster guards, retreated overnight to his main camp in Liangzhou.

He left behind a trusted general and handed over all command of Luoyan City to him.

If this raid succeeds and the Night Emperor is killed, then the general will follow the agreed plan and lead his army out of the city to annihilate 100,000 Chu soldiers in one fell swoop.

If the plan goes wrong and the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect fails to eliminate the Night Emperor and is instead besieged and killed, then the trusted general will immediately carry out another plan of King Chen: slaughter all the people in the city to feed the army, implement a scorched-earth policy, and retreat the army back to Liangzhou.

In any case, whether he succeeds or fails, it won't affect Chen Tianwang's life.

Chen Tianwang's motto in life is "better to die than to die." The leader of the Snow Mountain Sect is also a pawn in his game. It would be best if he could kill Ye Tianzi, but if not, he would decisively discard this pawn.

Moreover, it also contains another meaning: if you, a grandmaster, can't even kill Ye Tianzi, who is at the grandmaster level, then there's no use in coming back. You're definitely a useless grandmaster!

……

At 3:45 AM, ten grandmaster-level martial artists under Chen Tianwang's command, along with the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect, launched a joint attack on the core camp of the Chu army.

The leader of the Snow Mountain Sect concealed his aura and did not act with the ten martial artists. He acted alone, intending to observe the battle from the rear and wait for the ten grandmaster martial artists to lure out Night Emperor so that he could suddenly strike and kill Night Emperor with one blow.

It could be said that his ideas were sinister, but he was up against Li Heng, the sixth brother to the extreme.

After the ten grandmaster-level martial artists arrived at the core area, they each found a large camp and rushed in.

However, they discovered that these camps were completely empty.

"Damn it, we've fallen into a trap! There's no one in these camps!" A grandmaster shouted to his companions as he walked out of the camp.

Immediately afterwards, they heard a series of bugle calls.

All around, elite Chu soldiers, armed with spears and clad in heavy armor, surged out from all directions, surrounding the ten grandmasters.

Just as the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect was hesitating about whether to go in and help, a pleasant voice reached his ears.

"My friend, if you wish to visit our military camp, you are welcome to go in and take a look. Why resort to such sneaky tactics and invite ridicule?"

"Who is it?" The leader of the Snow Mountain Sect looked around, his heart filled with inexplicable horror.

Li Heng emerged from the darkness, dressed in black and masked, with his hands behind his back, slowly approaching the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect.

Previously, after Li Heng discovered that a Grandmaster martial artist was attacking, he also sensed an unusually pure internal force, which was definitely not something a Grandmaster martial artist could possess. So he carefully sensed the source of this internal force and, following the clues, discovered the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect.

Li Heng instantly understood that this person was probably Chen Tianwang's reliance and must be a powerful expert at the Grandmaster level.

Having understood the difference between the Grandmaster realm and the Master realm, Li Heng was no longer afraid of Grandmasters. Moreover, he felt that the purity and strength of the internal energy of ordinary Grandmasters were probably inferior to his.

Moreover, only Li Heng here can deal with a Grandmaster-level expert. Sending other Grandmaster-level martial artists, even if there are many of them, would be suicide. The difference between the two cannot be made up for by numbers.

After figuring it out, Li Heng took the initiative to show himself and lure his opponent into a fight.

On the spot, Li Heng did not respond to his question, but instead asked, "You have come here as a guest, shouldn't you first introduce yourself?"

When the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect saw Li Heng dressed in black and wearing a mask, he suddenly remembered that the Night Emperor's modus operandi was also to dress in black and wear a mask.

He blurted out instantly, "Black-clad and masked, could you be the Night Emperor? Hahaha, what a stroke of genius! I've searched high and low, and now you've come to me without any effort!"

Li Heng smiled, neither confirming nor denying, and said:

"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? It's just a name. You can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. In the end, you'll just become a handful of dust. A generation can change every twenty years. The new generation pushes the old one aside. Who will remember your name in the future?"

"Hmph, you seem quite open-minded, but unfortunately, you lack experience. Little do you know how many heroes in the martial world have fought and struggled for a title, leading to fathers killing sons, husbands and wives becoming enemies, brothers turning against each other, and friends becoming enemies! But why am I telling you all this? Did you kill three of my disciples? Qinghong, Feixing, and Zhuifeng!"

Li Heng's smile vanished, and he said sternly:

"So you're talking about the Three Musketeers of the Snow Mountain? I did kill them. They aided and abetted the wicked, serving the traitor Chen. Chen, driven by his own selfish desires, instigated war, causing tens of millions of people to be displaced and millions of civilians to die under his blade. Therefore, their deaths were not unjust!"

The leader of the Snow Mountain Sect shook his head and said calmly:

"I don't understand those national affairs or the people's livelihood. I only know that my true disciples died at your hands, and that's enough. Since you are the Night Emperor, it saves me the trouble of looking for you. Make your move, or you will not have a chance to do so. I will personally send you on your way."

Li Heng maintained his smile and said, "I've long wanted to spar with a Grandmaster, to see if you truly deserve the title or if it's just empty boasting."

The two sides immediately clashed.

Li Heng channeled his exceptionally powerful internal energy, unleashing a punch with immense force. His opponent neither dodged nor evaded, but instead met Li Heng's fist with a palm strike.

As their fists and palms clashed, a powerful, invisible wave instantly emanated from the two of them, spreading outwards like ripples and stirring up clouds of dust.

Neither of them retreated, and this attack seemed to be evenly matched.

In fact, the leader of the Snow Mountain Sect did move back slightly, but it was immediately stopped by force.

For the first time, he felt utterly incredulous at the sight of a martial artist at the Grandmaster level.

"Is this the true strength of the Night Emperor? A grandmaster-level martial artist can actually withstand a casual strike from me, a grandmaster, and it seems I'm even slightly at a disadvantage. The name Night Emperor is indeed well-deserved. No wonder he can kill a peak grandmaster-level martial artist in one move. This is too abnormal! It's understandable that Qinghong and the other two died at his hands." The Snow Mountain Sect Leader thought to himself.

"Hahaha, very good. For a martial artist at the Grandmaster level to have a freak like you, well, I'm about to get serious. It's best to nip a monster like you in the bud!"

After the Snow Mountain Sect leader finished speaking, he took the initiative to attack.

The refined internal energy, transformed after the transformation, surged forth instantly, flowing into his palm and then imprinting itself towards Li Heng's heart.

Li Heng did not take the initiative to attack; he simply met each situation with a counter-strategy.

At this moment, he was still strolling leisurely. In fact, Li Heng only used about 70% of his internal energy and did not use any of his life-saving secret techniques.

He blocked his opponent using only some standard moves.

After a brief fight, the two sides separated.

Li Heng shook his head and said:

"It seems your title of Grandmaster is a bit undeserved! You can't even defeat a Grandmaster-level martial artist like me. What trump cards do you have up your sleeve? Show them to us!"
