I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

As the soldier plunged into the sea of ​​fire, the fire suddenly grew stronger again and began to burn wildly.

Human oil is the best fuel...

Ning Fei stared blankly at his surroundings. One figure after another was running madly towards the sea of ​​fire. At the moment when they were engulfed by the sea of ​​fire, Ning Fei could clearly see a feeling of relief on these people's faces.

Hundreds of people rushed towards the sea of ​​fire every moment, and on the wall of Taiping County, all the soldiers had to do was to throw down the hellfire that had been prepared long ago to prevent the fire from being extinguished by these people.

After a long silence, Ning Fei exploded.

"Come back! Come back! Come back!"

Ning Fei grabbed a soldier frantically and looked at him ferociously: "Don't go over there! Do you hear me? Don't go over there, or I will slap you to death!"

"General, shoot, shoot me to death!" The soldier's eyes were bloodshot and his whole body was twitching.

At this moment, Ning Fei loosened his hands powerlessly. Could he really kill the soldiers under his command?

At this moment, a pair of hands, which were eaten by man-eating worms and only bones were left, grabbed Ning Fei's trouser legs, and a face, which was eaten by man-eating worms and only half of the face was left, stared at Ning Fei.

"Kill me! General, kill me!"

Ning Fei raised his hands, but finally put them down weakly. He gritted his teeth and gently held the hands that were grabbing his trouser legs.

"Hold on, there will be a way, there will be!"

The soldier stretched out his hands weakly, and then used his hands, whose bones were already exposed, to crawl step by step towards the sea of ​​fire under the Taiping County wall.

On top of the city wall, Jiang Yuan retreated gently, his face showing a heavy yet relaxed expression.

A fire that killed so many people will make Jiang Yuan's notoriety known throughout the whole of Daduan.

However, if these people under the city wall died, the soldiers of Taiping County would not have to die anymore.

After all, this is a battlefield where there is no room for mercy. It is a battlefield where you die or I die.

If possible, Jiang Yuan would be happy to set up a banquet at the city gate, and everyone could negotiate peacefully. Ning Fei's army would retreat, and he would ensure that Taiping County would not interfere in Daduan's affairs.

It would be nice if it ended in peace.

However, Ning Fei was determined to fight to the death.

It’s not that Ning Fei is wrong and Jiang Yuan is right. There is no right or wrong in this world. There are only different interests, different positions, different thoughts, and different efforts.

Just as Jiang Yuan was thinking about this, an old voice sounded.

"Boy, I feel the power of a peerless master."

Jiang Yuan suddenly turned his head, and Jiang Pingyang, carrying a long sword on his back, appeared beside him.

"Senior, don't you want to..."

"Ahem! Yes, it feels like the sixth realm. Is Ning Fei here?"

A heavy voice accompanied by a cough sounded, and Mo Wentian staggered towards the city wall step by step.

"Two seniors, there is no need. Even if Ning Fei doesn't die today, he will definitely die in the future. There is no need for you two seniors to take action." Jiang Yuan stood up quickly.

These two old fellows are at the peak of the fifth realm, but they can't break into the sixth realm no matter what. They have no hope in this life, especially Mo Wentian, who has already said that he must fight with Ning Fei before he dies.

But isn't this bullshit?

If Mo Wentian was in good health, like Jiang Pingyang, he would go. If he couldn't win, he could just ask Li Canglan to help.

But given Mo Wentian's current condition, if he really were to confront Ning Fei, it would be tantamount to committing suicide.

Mo Wentian looked at Ning Fei below: "This should be Ning Fei, the sixth realm, it really is the new generation replacing the old one."

"Senior, do you want to go down and fight?" Jiang Pingyang suddenly became interested. He certainly couldn't defeat Ning Fei alone, but if Mo Wentian was added, even if the two of them couldn't win, they would at least be able to escape unscathed, right?

Mo Wentian smiled and shook his head: "Look at Ning Fei now, he is completely lost and dispirited. I am afraid that he can hardly display 80% of his true strength. If I go down to challenge him now, wouldn't I be taking advantage of his misfortune?"

"That makes sense, but if he were in his prime, senior would probably find it difficult to defeat him, right?" Jiang Pingyang asked in a low voice.

After the last encounter with Mo Wentian, Jiang Pingyang naturally found Mo Wentian and praised him highly.

This is quite normal. Jiang Pingyang is not young, but Mo Wentian is already very old.

When Mo Wentian was out in the martial arts world, Jiang Pingyang was still peeing and playing in the mud. After entering the martial arts world, he grew up listening to the stories of this legendary senior. How could he not admire him?

Mo Wentian waved his hand disapprovingly: "What's the harm in death? What I want to learn is the strength of the Sixth Realm, not Ning Fei."

After saying that, Mo Wentian turned around and slowly walked away along the city wall.

Seeing that all the seniors in his mind had left, Jiang Pingyang sighed. After all, he was not sure if he could challenge Ning Fei alone, so he turned and left.

After a full hour, the entire battlefield was silent.

Within a few miles outside the Taiping County wall, there was no living person except Ning Fei.

At this moment, this martial arts genius who was hailed as the pinnacle of Daduan martial arts knelt on the ground with a dazed look on his face.

In front of him was a sea of ​​fire that was still burning, and around him were countless white bones that had been eaten up.

Fifty thousand soldiers were killed in one hour, leaving only him.

Ning Fei had never experienced such a crushing defeat. For the first time, he realized what it meant to fail, what it meant to be manipulated by others...

At this time, Ning Fei was several miles behind him.

Qingzhu, holding the feather fan, had not fanned it for a long time. It was only at this moment that he woke up from his meditation.

"Zhang Shun, Ding Ziyan, go and bring General Ning back."

"it is good."

Zhang Shun and the other man did not hesitate and walked straight towards Ning Fei without any soldiers.

On horseback, Qingzhu looked up at Jiang Yuan on the city wall, but because he was not familiar with martial arts, he could not see any expression on Jiang Yuan's face with the eyes of an ordinary person.

In a trance, Qingzhu's memory went back to ten years ago, when Jiang Yuan and another person were brought to him.

At that time, Jiang Yuan interpreted the words "cowardly" to the extreme, but now, the other party was standing on the towering city wall, watching their life and death with cold eyes.

"The old is replaced by the new..." Qingzhu muttered to himself.

A master's strength can be seen from one move. After several confrontations with Jiang Yuan, Qingzhu finally realized the gap between himself and Jiang Yuan.

If what he did had already crossed the moral bottom line, then Jiang Yuan had no moral bottom line at all.

At this point, all 50,000 troops had been lost, and Qingzhu couldn't even figure out when the other party had made their move. This made Qingzhu feel confused.

Could it be that I am old?

On the wall of Taiping County, Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Fei, who was still kneeling on the ground in a daze. He clenched his hands several times, but finally let go.

If Ning Fei was really as distraught as he appeared, then this would be a perfect opportunity to kill him.

After all, even Mo Wentian said that in Ning Fei's current state, he can't even exert 80% of his own strength. Doesn't that mean that Ning Fei is probably only equivalent to a fifth-level master now?

If this is the case, then only a thousand cavalrymen would be needed to kill Ning Fei directly.

Of course, the premise is that his guess is correct, Ning Fei fights to the death, and the other party does not come to support him.

But Jiang Yuan still couldn't give the order. The reason was simple. Ning Fei lowered his head and his expression could not be seen at all. Jiang Yuan couldn't tell whether this guy was pretending or not.

"Sir, let's do it. This opportunity is rare and will never come back again!" Li Hu said with his fists clenched.

If they were to surround and kill a sixth-level expert, anyone who could participate would be remembered by the entire Daduan.

"That's right, sir. I think this is the best opportunity!" Zhao Kai and others also spoke up.

"If we attack together and send out another 30,000 cavalry, we will definitely be able to kill Ning Fei!"

The moment these people spoke, Jiang Yuan suddenly woke up: "No! No! You absolutely cannot go down!"

"Why?" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise. Beneath the city wall, Ning Fei was clearly in a state of despair. Wouldn't he take the opportunity to beat the downtrodden dog? This wasn't Jiang Yuan's style.

Jiang Yuan stared at Ning Fei with his eyes fixed: "This is a scam!"

"Ning Fei is clearly using himself as bait to lure us in. I can guarantee that Ning Fei can now unleash a power far beyond his current strength!"

Zhao Kai opened his mouth for a long moment before he said, "Sir, how did you know that?"

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "What a simple question! Think about it carefully. How long has Ning Fei been the commander-in-chief of the three armies?"

"If a battle fails, as a commander, instead of showing any signs of depression, you should show an unyielding and confident attitude to inspire your soldiers."

"Only in this way can the morale of this unit be maintained and large-scale desertions be avoided."

"Ning Fei has been fighting for over ten years, how could he not have thought of this!"

"And he's acting like this specifically for us to see. He wants us to surround and kill him, and then he'll unleash his might and slaughter us all by himself. This will establish his belief in his invincibility and rekindle the morale that's just dissipated!"

After Jiang Yuan's analysis, Kong Xuan immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Do you understand?" Zhao Kai asked.

Kong Xuan shook his head seriously: "Absolutely not!"

"Then nod a few times!" Zhao Kai said speechlessly.

Kong Xuan stretched out a finger and wiggled it a few times: "Although I didn't understand, I understand one thing. From now on, I will never do anything that the adults don't allow me to do!"

At this time, the city wall was lowered, and Zhao Shun and Ding Ziyan had come to Ning Fei. The moment the two men stretched out their hands, Ning Fei stood up like lightning, and in the blink of an eye he had run hundreds of meters forward.

When he was less than a hundred meters away from the Taiping County city wall, Ning Fei suddenly threw the spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was pointing at Jiang Yuan's heart!

"Die to me!"

"Lord be careful!"

Countless screams rang out, and in Jiang Yuan's eyes, the entire scene seemed to have been frozen. Only the spear remained, rapidly flying towards him...
