Xi Fenglie narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Sikong Jin who had already begun fighting ahead and was attempting to launch a surprise attack. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he quickly mounted his horse and followed after them.

Meanwhile, the two armies were locked in fierce combat. Amidst the flashing blades, figures fell like grass. The Heavenly Saint's vanguard was indeed no match for the fierce Eagle Division of the Western Wind.

When Xi Fenglie's iron cavalry charged straight toward the central army of the allied forces, the Tian Sheng soldiers who were at the forefront were almost completely unable to resist. Just hearing the thunderous sound of approaching hooves, they were so frightened that they retreated one after another, without having the courage to resist at all.

Tuoba Yu's expression was unusually grim. He had realized that Xi Fenglie intended to wipe out his central army directly, and looking at Sikong Jin's situation, it was probably not much better.

"Your Highness, what should I do?"

"Immediately issue the order for both flanks to converge on the central army. Anyone who dares to retreat will have their head taken by this prince!"

"Where are the guards?"

"Your Highness!"

"You immediately lead two squads of my elite cavalry to storm into the Liao army's left flank and support Lord Sikong!"

Tuoba Yu frowned as he gave the order.

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"Your Highness, the 50,000 troops under Lord Sikong's command have already thrown the Liao army into chaos, breaking through their left flank and attacking from the northeast. However, the Liao army's 200,000 iron cavalry are too fierce in their offensive, and we have no way to meet them head-on and form an encirclement with Lord Sikong's forces. What should we do?"

"Your Highness, the Liao army has breached the front lines. Please proceed to the capital!"

Before Tuoba Yu could give the order, the soldiers at the front had already reported back.

Tuoba Yu's expression was grim. He subconsciously looked up at the troops fighting fiercely to the east. Sikong Jin was riding eastward and fleeing, while Tuoba Yu's troops were chasing after him in a dark mass. The situation was not optimistic.

His gaze paused for a moment, then he suddenly mounted his horse...

'Whoosh!'

She was exhausted, both tired and thirsty!

The sweltering heat made the fighting so intense, and Sikong Jin was furious. Xifeng Lie was rapidly pursuing him, along with his guards.

The entire Jiangxi plain was filled with shouts of battle and chaos. When he saw Mei Ruhua and her group charging out from the northeast and rushing towards the Liao army behind them, Sikong Jin breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw the Tiansheng soldiers facing them head-on, his face darkened again.

In fact, from the beginning, she did not expect that their allied forces could defeat Xifenglie's fierce Eagle Division, but this was an inevitable battle, and she could only do her best to deliver a heavy blow to Xifenglie.

She knew very well that Tuoba Yu himself certainly didn't expect to win this battle, but seeing his calm demeanor, Sikong Jin knew that he must have a backup plan.

What was supposed to be a life-or-death battle has turned into a fight where everyone is harboring their own ulterior motives and fighting passively. It's no wonder they're losing!

Left with no other choice, she could only think of a way to satisfy both sides: to severely damage the West Wind Fierce Army while preserving her own strength. That was the key!

Once Xifenglie's left flank is breached and an attack is launched from the northeast, the Liao army of 100,000 non-Ying Division troops behind Xifenglie can be easily encircled. Although these are not the main force of Xifenglie's army, they are important military forces of the Liao army on the border of Tiansheng and Dayong. Eliminating some of them will also reduce the pressure on the main army pressing on Hangu Pass later.

She had already informed Vice General Mei and the others that if they encountered Xi Fenglie's Eagle Division and the situation looked bad, they should immediately retreat. Anyway, that was Jiangxi, and she had already secretly arranged boats to cross the river there. The Liao soldiers were not good at swimming and would destroy the bridge. Let's see how they cross the river and how they pursue them!

Seeing the current situation, which is pretty much what she expected, and with Xi Fenglie relentlessly pursuing her, when else would she run?

She's fast, and Xifenglie's speed is no slower than hers!

A gust of cold wind swept past, and a dark figure darted forward like lightning from behind, kicking Ta Feng beneath Sikong Jin. Ta Feng cried out in pain and instinctively leaped up, forcing Sikong Jin to dismount. She quickly jumped back several steps before barely managing to regain her footing.

At that moment, Xi Fenglie landed gracefully less than five zhang away from her, a cold smile playing on his handsome face. "Sikong Jin, why are you in such a hurry? Shouldn't we have a good chat and settle our old scores? I know you're quite skilled. Last time at the Wind and Rain Pavilion, I was caught off guard and was at your mercy. I've been wanting to have another good match with you ever since. What, aren't you always so arrogant and unruly? Now you don't dare to accept the challenge?"

Xi Fenglie looked at the somewhat disheveled Sikong Jin with amusement and sneered, "If you can defeat me, I will let you go today. Otherwise, you can leave your life here. You are too dangerous. Since you cannot be used by me, I will have no choice but to eliminate you at all costs!"

"Prince Xifeng, our score should be settled. I am honored by your high regard, and since you are so determined, it would be my fault if I did not accept the challenge!"

"Show me your weapons, Sikong Jin!"

Xi Fenglie laughed arrogantly, a sharp glint flashing in his hawk-like eyes. He leaped up, drew his sword, and thrust it out with a fierce and dangerous strike. Sikong Jin suddenly smiled, her delicate face filled with a sharp killing intent. She abruptly drew the Moon Soul sword from her sleeve. "Crown Prince Xi Feng, I also want to see whether your moves are more powerful or my swift sword is more difficult to deal with. I know Your Highness has good fighting spirit, and today I will accept Your Highness's challenge!"

"Hmph, come on!"

'Ding! '

As the crimson sword light flashed out like lightning, the sword energy reverberated, and the two sword shadows clashed, bursting forth with a dazzling light and shadow.

Xi Fenglie rose with the wind, his tall figure swiftly sweeping across the sky. The light in his deep eagle eyes was terrifyingly sharp. The long sword in his hand suddenly pierced through like a rapid aurora. The move was fierce and terrifying, with extremely strong attack power. His powerful true energy stirred the surrounding airflow. After a faint explosion, the sword light suddenly cut through the swirling and twisting airflow, and the tip of the sword was aimed straight at Sikong Jin's throat.

However, the Moon Soul in Sikong Jin's hand was so leisurely, calm and elegant. A scarlet light flashed by, like a ribbon fluttering in the cool breeze, shimmering with an eerie light under the pale sunlight.

She lightly touched the ground with her toes, her lithe body gracefully rising into the air, swiftly drifting backward. With a languid gesture, she swiftly intercepted the fierce, icy sword thrusting towards her from the west wind—

'Ding! '
