We agreed that I would be married off to a short-lived general, but why is my husband so powerful?

Upon hearing these words, Yue Lingyuan became completely dejected.

But he quickly remembered the cultivation techniques Wen Rushi had given him, and he perked up again. "Thank you for those techniques. Since Heaven made me dream of this change in advance, it shows that fate is not immutable."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and started eating heartily.

Seeing that he had figured it out himself, Wen Rushi left the tent.

At night, Wen Rushi intensified her cultivation.

After the last time the formation was broken, the gap in the barrier widened again, and the overflowing spiritual energy finally kept up with Wen Rushi's cultivation speed.

She quietly entered the Golden Core stage.

There was no tribulation by lightning.

Here, under Yue Lingyuan's decisive actions, morale was quickly stabilized.

The barbarians quickly regrouped their forces and attacked Longmen Pass.

In their view, General Yue's death in battle was an opportunity for them to launch an attack.

Yue Lingyuan led his generals and soldiers out of Longmen Pass to meet the barbarian troops.

This time, Wen Rushi did not stay behind, but instead rode alongside Yue Lingshan in a blue robe.

Yue Lingshan only learned that Wen Rushi was going to the battlefield with her when they set off.

I couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She immediately moved closer to Wen Rushi, "Sister-in-law, stay by my side for a while, I will protect you, you don't need to be afraid."

Yue Lingshan had long since shed her previous naivety. When she spoke with Wen Rushi, the coldness on her face lessened slightly, and she began to exude the air of a young lady from a general's mansion.

"It's alright, take care of yourself. My mission isn't to fight those people."

Wen Rushi saw that Yue Ling seemed to be in alright condition.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

General Yue's death in battle was too sudden. Wen Ru wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't stay by Yue Lingshan's side all the time. Only now did the two have time to say a few words.

However, in this situation, neither of them was in the mood to talk, and the two soon stopped talking.

The generals met thirty miles outside the pass.

Upon meeting them, a general who looked like a bear started yelling insults at them.

Our side, which was challenging us, was not to be outdone.

After a heated exchange of insults, the bear-like soldier on the other side couldn't hold back any longer and charged out on horseback, cursing all the while.

On the Jin side, no one dared to delay. A young general in red rode out on horseback, wielding a long spear.

Wen Rushi felt a gust of wind blow past her, and when she looked again, the person who rushed out was none other than Yue Lingshan!

As soon as Yue Lingshan, a woman, appeared on the scene, she drew laughter from the people opposite her.

"Hey Yue brat, now that old scoundrel Yue is dead, are you out of options? You've actually sent a woman to stand up for you? That's laughable!"

"General Ha, you're really lucky! If you don't bring that woman back for me to play with later, I'll look down on you!"

"The women of the Great Jin are too weak, but this female general is just my type!"

The barbarian soldiers laughed and joked, clearly not taking Yue Lingshan seriously.

Yue Lingshan had only been in the army for a short time, always following Xiang Ying, and was relatively unknown.

In a situation where the opposing soldiers are being challenged and their morale is being boosted, it's not her turn to step up.

But right now, all she can think about is revenge.

Hearing the bear across from her yelling and cursing, she impulsively rushed out.

The barbarian general named Hazhi leered at Yue Lingshan.

This was Yue Lingshan's first time fighting against the opposing soldiers, and she was somewhat outmatched by the bear-like man.

The two faced off, and the barbarian general was as big as three Yue Lingshans.

Wen Rushi was worried for Yue Lingshan.

The man saw Yue Lingshan rushing over and wanted to tease her, but Yue Lingshan didn't say a word and charged at him with her spear.

Ha sneered, spurred his horse to meet the attack, and raised a pair of iron hammers to meet the challenge.

Yue Lingshan was already filled with hatred, so she showed no mercy in her attack.

However, once they started fighting, she knew that she was no match for this barbarian with her strength alone, so she spurred her horse to create distance between them.

Yue Lingshan could tell from the first exchange that she was no match for the barbarian general.

The barbarian general could naturally sense it as well.

Seeing that Yue Lingshan was retreating because she couldn't beat him, he leered and spurred his horse to chase after her.

Yue Lingshan wasn't really going to run away.

As the two parted, she channeled her spiritual energy into her dantian and condensed a flame the size of a candle in her palm.

Just then, General Hazhi caught up with them. Without thinking, Yue Lingshan assumed an attacking stance and took the opportunity to throw the small ball of fire over.

Just as Hazhi, who was chasing after him on horseback, was about to receive the attack, he felt something being thrown at him.

Before he could even see what it was, he felt the noodles scald and his face burned.

His prized beard caught fire.

He immediately dropped the large iron hammer in his hand and slapped his face hard.

"Ah!! Fire! Ah!"

Unfortunately, the fire wouldn't go out; it burned his beard, then his hair, clothes, armor, and even his horse...

In the blink of an eye, the man and his horse became a fireball.

"Aaaaaah!!!" The screams echoed throughout the battlefield.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yue Lingshan's eyes!

He knocked the man off his horse with a single spear thrust.

The soldiers on the Jin side cheered.

Yue Lingshan waved to the Great Jin side, and finally a smile appeared on her face.

In the ranks, Xiang Ying watched as Yue Lingshan defeated the opposing soldiers with fire, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

I don't know when she will be able to use spiritual power to fight.

Yue Lingshan's first victory boosted morale, which had been somewhat low due to the passing of the Grand General.

One of them died, and soon another barbarian general came to challenge Yue Lingshan.

Having won once, Yue Lingshan had more confidence and momentum than the first time, and she charged forward immediately.

The soldiers on both sides fell silent.

Quietly watching the two fighting in the middle of the battlefield.

Yue Lingshan is self-aware.

Against these brute soldiers with strength as great as oxen, her advantage was not the martial arts skills she had practiced for more than ten years.

It is the spiritual energy within the dantian.

She figured out the most energy-efficient way to fight: using fire.

The fire, formed from condensed spiritual energy, cannot be easily extinguished.

If you throw it at someone, they'll be either dead or crippled.

Yue Lingshan used the same method again, and soon the person opposite her was engulfed in flames.

Previously, such tactics were not conspicuous on a chaotic battlefield.

In this one-on-one duel under the watchful eyes of everyone, anyone with eyes could see the methods by which Yue Lingshan won.

The barbarians on the other side were utterly shocked.

They couldn't understand where Yue Lingshan's anger came from.

However, judging from her two encounters, she wasn't actually that scary. Her methods mainly rely on surprise.

As long as you dodge in time, you won't get burned.

Yue Lingshan was already somewhat exhausted from using her spiritual power twice in a row. Just as she was about to turn back, someone rushed over from behind to challenge her.

Seeing that Yue Lingshan's face had turned pale, Wen Rushi immediately said to Yue Lingyuan, "General, quickly! Send someone to replace Lingshan!"

Yue Lingshan used her spiritual power twice in a row this time, and the fire she condensed was larger than before. With her cultivation level, she was afraid that the spiritual power in her dantian was almost empty.

There's another big battle coming up, so I can't afford to drain the spiritual energy from my dantian at this time.
