The eldest son is fierce

General Mountain.

On the south side of General Mountain, Prince Yan, Xiao Di, along with generals such as Li Huaifang, were hiding in a mountain hollow, observing Xiao Yundao and Tokugawa Ikaru's group through binoculars.

"They're here, they're here! Damn, it's Mikami Tokugawa and Xiao Yundao, two Grandmasters!"

"Haha, from today onwards, I also have the record of killing a Grandmaster."

Xiao Di's face flushed with excitement. He awakened the Gu worm and said, "Liu Wenyan, calm down, please calm down. Wait for my order before firing. Tokugawa Ikazuki and Xiao Yundao are using their lightness skills to penetrate deeper. Once they reach the top of General Mountain, that will be their crematorium."

On the opposite slope, Liu Wenyan was directing the artillerymen to set up their guns. Hearing this, he said speechlessly, "I'm fine here. You should worry about yourself first!"

"Stop your damn nonsense. Grandmasters have very strong perception. If Tokugawa Ikazuki and Xiao Yundao escape, you can go see the commander with your head on your hands!"

——Shh!

Xiao Di immediately put a finger to his lips, signaling everyone to be quiet.

The group of generals were speechless. It was clearly only you who kept nagging!

Li Huaifang was also given a telescope, through which she could clearly see Xiao Yundao, Tokugawa Ikaru, and others rapidly passing over the treetops of General Mountain and heading straight for the summit.

Seeing this scene, Li Huaifang felt a chill run down her spine, and her hair stood on end.

Damn it, Xiao Di's mission for him was to kill a Grandmaster, and damn it, two Grandmasters at that!

With his ten thousand men, he wouldn't be able to easily defeat the two grandmasters, but then he thought, what if he succeeded?

If it succeeds, helping Prince Yan, Xiao Di, kill two grandmaster-level experts would be an immense achievement! Returning to the center of power would be no problem then.

At this moment, Xiao Yundao and Tokugawa Ikaru's group finally reached the top of the mountain.

Xiao Yundao stopped at the edge of the cliff, looking at the cavalry rolling towards him on the mountain road, and turned to Tokugawa Ikaru, asking, "General Tokugawa, what are your plans?"

Tokugawa Ikaru sheathed his sword, his eyes blazing with murderous intent: "Kill Tang Yi, he must die."

Tang Yi has already become a force to be reckoned with. If he were to issue an order, it would reach the eastern border of the Great Yan. The army in the eastern border, fearing Tang Yi, would certainly fight to the death.

How many rounds of attrition can the 100,000 troops she brought to destroy the Great Yan withstand?

Xiao Yundao's hands, which were behind his back, clenched into fists unconsciously. He was the Grand Preceptor of Dongyu. Tang Yi was not dead, but he returned to Dongyu in disgrace. If word got out, his lifelong reputation would be ruined!

"Just to my liking."

Xiao Yundao said softly, "Tang Yi has won a great victory now, so he will definitely be less vigilant. Let's rest for now and return to the city after dark!"

"From this moment on, I will show Tang Yi how terrifying it is to be targeted by a Grandmaster-level expert. I will make him unable to eat, sleep, or sit still..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it a strong, foul odor.

Xiao Yundao was slightly taken aback and asked, "What is this smell?"

Tokugawa Ikaru raised her hand and grabbed a leaf swaying in the wind. She held it to her nose, smelled it, and her expression suddenly changed drastically: "Oh no, it's tung oil!"

"Tung oil? How could there be tung oil here?!"

Xiao Yundao was astonished and looked down the mountain. He saw that the cavalrymen who had chased him down the mountain and were supposed to search for him had all turned their horses around and fled.

When they first chased after them, they weren't going very fast, but now they've turned around and are running like crazy, as if a ghost is chasing them.

Upon seeing this, Tokugawa Ikazuki and Xiao Yundao's pupils shrank drastically. They had been tricked! This was the real battlefield where Tang Yi killed the Grandmaster.

The moment this thought crossed their minds, Tokugawa Ikazuki and Xiao Yundao instantly activated their protective qi and shouted at the same time, "Retreat! Leave General Mountain!"

"Leave? Too late! Haha..."

The sound of wild laughter echoed throughout the valley.

Prince Xiao Di of Yan jumped out holding the detonator, slammed his hand on it, and shouted, "Fire! Get them!"

Boom!

With a thunderous explosion, the entire General Mountain was instantly engulfed in flames. Since General Mountain had already been doused with potent tung oil, the fire spread rapidly in all directions.

Xiao Yundao and Tokugawa Ikazuki had protective qi, but they were still blown away by the explosion. Kojima Ayaka was even blown away on the spot and coughed up blood. As for the dozen or so ninjas following behind her, they had already turned into fire people.

"Damn it! Damn it! You little thief Tang Yi, I will never forgive you! I will kill you, no matter where you are!"

Xiao Yundao was furious, and his mentality completely collapsed. When Ye Jin was blown away and couldn't tell what was going on, he and Tokugawa Iori were glad they ran away quickly.

Now, Tang Yi has made them experience the same kind of suffering that Ye Jin endured when he was bombed.

Even if they are grandmasters with protective qi, they cannot withstand this overwhelming explosion. In particular, the shockwave generated by the explosion can not break through their protective qi, but it can penetrate it!

Damn it, they were like balls in the explosion, being blown around by the blasts. You can't imagine how painful that must have been.

Moreover, they would be burned and engulfed in thick smoke. All they could see were flames and thick smoke. After being bombed, they couldn't even tell which way was which.

"Miss Tokugawa, this approach won't work. We need to pinpoint the enemy's location before we can launch a counterattack..."

Xiao Yundao forced himself to calm down, looked at Tokugawa Ikaru not far away, and said, "Join forces to counterattack. You split the flames, and I will kill."

It's a bit of an exaggeration for a Grandmaster to split General Mountain in two with a single strike, but extinguishing the flames on half a mountain with one strike is not a big deal.

As long as Tokugawa Ikazuki makes a move, he can find an opportunity to break out and return directly to Dongyu. Does it matter if he loses face? No, his life is the most important thing.

It's impossible for Tang Yi to join forces with Tokugawa Iori to defeat the enemy. Since Tang Yi chose to make his move here, he must have a backup plan.

The explosion was only one factor; there were likely more ambushes nearby, and thousands of cavalrymen behind them...

"Hehe, Grand Preceptor Xiao, I'll have to trouble you to draw some fire."

They're all old foxes, who doesn't know what's going on in someone else's heart? Tokugawa Ika grabbed Kojima Ayaka's hand and took out two round white beads, throwing them to the ground.

boom!

The bead exploded the moment it hit the ground, and the flash made Xiao Yundao instinctively raise his hand to shield his eyes. When he looked again, Tokugawa Ika and Kojima Ayaka were no longer there.

Only two wisps of white smoke were dissipating in the fire.

"Ninjutsu, earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of ninjutsu)?!"

Xiao Yundao was stunned for a moment, then immediately cursed, "Damn it, why didn't you use the stealth ability to take me with you! Is there any problem with a Grandmaster carrying two others and stealthily traveling several miles? There's absolutely no problem!"

"If that doesn't work, sneak out and wipe out the commander outside!"

There was no movement on the ground, clearly indicating that Tokugawa Ikaru had chosen to abandon him.

Boom boom!

Explosions erupted again around them, and Xiao Yundao was completely enraged after several more explosions.

Thick smoke billowed, and the crackling sounds of explosions and flames filled the air, so much so that he couldn't pinpoint where the bombs were coming from until they landed right next to him.

If they keep being bombed like this, they might really die here.

"Xiao Yundao, you've been to Little Tokugawa three times. Will you surrender or not?"

At this moment, a defiant shout came from the opposite side of the mountain: "Surrender and you may live, but you will surely die if you do not surrender. I am Xiao Di, the Prince of Yan of the Great Yan Dynasty. If you are willing to surrender, then let's talk."

"Don't worry, I'm easy to talk to!"

When Xiao Yundao heard that the person opposite him was Prince Yan, Xiao Di, his eyes lit up immediately. Wasn't this his chance?

As long as we capture Prince Yan, Xiao Di, even Tang Yi will have to kneel before him and call him "Father, I was wrong!"
