Ten thousand knights of Mountaineer Legion did not have a problem receiving all arrows from the Xiongnu soldiers . They stood firm on all four walls and repelled the men who were climbing ladders with ease .

  Lu Bu rode his horse toward a section which was attacked by a siege ladder . He cleaved the enemy vanguards and pushed back all Xiongnu men off the wall one by one . As soon as he reached the siege tower, he destroyed the wooden bridge, which latched on top of the wall .

  A siege ladder was disconnected .

  *BOOM*

  A bomb bag exploded at the side of the siege ladder, and the entire structure of the wheeled ladder crumbled to the ground along with a dozen soldiers on the top of it .

  *BANG*

  Sometimes, gunshot sound came from a thousand-man commander as they fired their shotgun at the enemies in close range .

  *WHOOSH*

  *WHOOSH*

  Mountaineer Legion had not forgotten the repeating crossbows . Out of 5,000 soldiers on each wall, three thousand of them fired their crossbows at Xiongnu men below the wall .

  For one hour, they outlasted the endless enemies in the middle of the night .

  But the event inside Li Feihong’s private world changed the flow of the battle in Henan . Zhang Liao’s soldiers suffered casualties from overwhelming enemies .

  "Retreat, Wenyuan . "

  Li Feihong muttered to himself, but Zhang Liao and the others inside his world could hear it .

  Lu Bu also heard his strategist’s voice . He turned around as he worried about Zhang Liao, "Something wrong?"

  "Yeah . Wenyuan is struggling . Fighting 50,000 Xiongnu in the open field is still too much for him . "

  "Send me inside . I’ll get them out . "

  "I only have one gate left today . If I use it, I will be able to open it again in the next two hours . Are you sure?"

  "Send me in there . "

  "Okay, boss . "

  Li Feihong opened a portal to his private world, which Lu Bu and his horse entered .

  Zhang Liao and his 9,000 knights exited the portal . Their breathing was rough and quick as they were exhausted from the fight with Hua Xiong’s platoons on the open field .

  "Well, that was close . "

  Zhang Liao laughed while he looked around . Seeing that Henan was under siege, his relief laughter turned into a sarcastic laughing .

  "Oh, great . Another battlefront . "

  "Can’t help it . They reacted before we can even box them in Luo Yang . These guys are too smart for barbarians . "

  Zhang Liao and his soldiers got down from their horses and joined the others on the top of the wall . With the addition of 9,000 reinforcement, the situation on the wall was under their control . ……

  As waves of Xiongnu clones climbed the ladders, another hour passed .

  It was 11 . 30 PM .

  Khan was getting impatient as times went on, but they did not see the progress on the top of the wall . None of the clones could even get a solid foothold or a space to break through the garrisoned defenders .

  "I have to do everything myself every time, Ain’t I?"

  Four spirits of Khan got out of his body and rushed toward the top of the wall . The glowing white ghosts flew to the defenders in an instant and caused a commotion .

  "G-Ghosts!"

  "Evil spirits!"

  The Mountaineer soldiers panicked as the ghosts were eye-catching as they glowed in the dark night . Furthermore, the night time gave them a sense of insecurity, and their logic did not work straight at the moment .

  By floating in the air alone, the garrison soldiers were distracted enough to lose focus on the battle in front of them . Khan’s spirit joined the battle on each wall, putting the pressure on the defending soldiers .

  They entered random bodies of the knights, which they exploded from the inside from the ethereal forces of the angelic spirits .

  Li Feihong and Zhang Liao also witnessed how these ghosts killed their men .

  ’Is that …… Fengxian!?’

  ’Fengxian’s spirits!?’

  They recognized the appearance of four spirits right away .

  \r \r \r

  Zhang Liao immediately texted into the clan chat .

  Zhang Liao: "Fengxian, are you there!?"

  Lu Bu: "Busy . Talk later . "

  Zhang Liao: "You’re still alive? Then what are these ghosts?"

  Li Feihong: "There are several ghosts looking like you . I thought you were dead . "

  Lu Bu: " . . . "

  Lu Bu ignored the chat as he was busy killing Xiongnu within Li Feihong’s dimension at this moment .

  Soon, Tong saw the messages and joined the conversation .

  Tong: "Be careful . Those ghosts are Xiongnu King’s spirits . "

  Tong: "Aside from anyone with wings, no one can harm those spirits . "

  Tong: "Feihong, have you awakened your wings yet?"

  Li Feihong: "What wing?"

  Li Feihong: "Ah, I forgot . No . "

  Tong: "Get the hell out of there . Abandon Henan or retreat back into your dimension . "

  Li Feihong: "Can’t do . I used up my quotas today . "

  Tong: "Then, buy yourself some times . Do you think you can last 30 minutes over there without getting yourself killed?"

  Zhang Liao: "If we don’t stand out, maybe ……"

  Li Feihong: "We’ll try . "

  Zhang Liao and Li Feihong closed their system menu . Without further ado, they bellowed at the same time .

  "All troops, gather at the city center . Avoid fighting with the ghosts!"

  All surviving knights on the wall were shocked . They slowly stepped backward as they withdrew in an orderly fashion . All of them walked down the stone stairs and got on their horses, galloping toward the city center .

  The four ghosts kept killing the knights as they were withdrawing from the wall . At the same time, Xiongnu soldiers got their foothold on the walls and pursued the retreating soldiers .

  *BANG*

  *BANG*

  *BANG*

  Li Feihong’s shotgun blasted several pursuers and successfully intimidated the attackers . However, his action caught the eyes of Khan .

  ’A general or a strategist?’

  Khan grinned and commanded all spirits to charge at Li Feihong .

  "Well, shit . "

  Subconsciously, Li Feihong displayed his killing intent, which locked on the four ghosts . His hands did not stop either as they pulled the trigger and fire more shotgun shells at the spirits out of desperation .

  The bullets did not harm the four glowing ghosts with Lu Bu’s appearance, but the killing intent aura of Li Feihong impressed Khan .

  ’Oh, ho! Who is this? Why does he have this kind of aura? Is he an elite that I overlooked in my previous life?’

  Khan changed his mind . At first, he planned to kill this scholarly looking man, but he wanted Li Feihong as his subordinate now .

  Using the mouth of his spirit, Khan persuaded Li Feihong while he activated one of his skill .

  [Eyes of Domination]

  "Join me!"

  Li Feihong could feel that something was invading his brain and was altering his memories . Fearing that he might be controlled by a mysterious force, he grinned and pointed the shotgun into his mouth . He aimed the shotgun upward to his brain and pulled the trigger .

  *BANG*

  He committed suicide!

  "WHAT!?"

  Khan could not believe his eyes that this young man chose to die without hesitation .

  "What a waste . He’s a good soldier . If he were with me, he would have grown into a great general . "

  Khan disregarded Li Feihong’s messy corpse and continued chasing after the retreating soldiers .

  A minute later, the messed head of Li Feihong self-regenerated as his [Self-Resurrection] activated upon death . All of his blood and pieces of his brain gathered and reverted back to himself a minute before he committed suicide .

  "Ow, it’s been a while, but it’s cold as usual . "

  As a former sinner in hell, dying was a daily occurrence to him . However, tasting it again in this life gave him a disturbing nostalgic feeling .

  To get out of the brainwashing skill, Li Feihong suicided without hesitation . Paying 2,500 lifespans to get away from the surprise slavery was worth it . ……

  [Self-Resurrection] Cannot be leveled up . -

  Resurrect yourself upon death .

  Skill Cost: 5,000 lifespan

  Skill Restriction: -

  Skill Cost doubles for each use . ……

  The skill cost for the activation was 2,500 before, but it increased to 5,000 now . Li Feihong had to be careful not to run out of lifespans during the times of emergency like this .

  ’I have a bit over 50,000 years . I should be fine for now, but I have to ask Tong to allocate them to me more . ’

  Thus, Li Feihong sneaked into the shadow and rejoined the retreating troops in the chaos . ……

  Midnight

  5,000 Soldiers of each wall and the 9,000-man reinforcement of Zhang Liao united at the city center, getting ready to escape from of the city using Li Feihong’s portal . During the 30 minutes commotion of the ghost attack, 4,000 soldiers fell from either the ghosts or the Xiongnu soldiers which left them with 25,000 able men .

  As Li Feihong looked at the time, the system clock on his menu showed that his skills had been reset .

  He immediately sent his voice to Lu Bu inside his dimension .

  "Sorry to interrupt you, Fengxian . I need you back at Henan County, or everyone over there will be slaughtered at this rate . "

  Lu Bu frowned and answered, "What is it now?"

  Li Feihong was afraid that Lu Bu had not read the chat log yet, so he reminded his boss, "Xiongnu King shows up, and he is helping the others attacking the county . ’He’s using the spirits to attack our soldiers, and I ’can’t stop him . "

  "Open the gate let me go out there . As for the defenders, withdraw back into this dimension . "

  Li Feihong opened the portal and guided everyone inside to escape . Meanwhile, Lu Bu, with his red horse, got out of the gate to protect them .

  The sudden appearance of the mystic portal and the red knight got Khan’s attention .

  "What is that? A reinforcement coming out of that thing?"

  Khan sensed a familiar aura coming out of the red knight on the red horse . Curious, he sent all of his spirits to attack Lu Bu .

  Lu Bu looked up and saw four ghosts in his appearance . He raised his eyebrows in bemusement .

  Two spirits of Lu Bu got out of his body . They took Lu Bu’s crescent halberds and attacked the oncoming ghosts .

  *WHOOSH*

  *WHOOSH*

  The swings of halberds missed!

  Khan pulled back his spirits in-time when he saw the two souls in front of Lu Bu .

  They had the same appearance as his spirits!

  Khan burst into laughter . His hands sweated, and his pupils expanded . Khan’s adrenaline pumped to his brain, and he could not control his excitement anymore .

  "AHAHAHAHAHA!! You finally appear!"

  Lu Bu could sense that the owner of these ghosts was looking down on him . As he had turned a page of his life, Lu Bu remained indifferent from the mocking of his enemy . As long as his comrades could get out of this mess, his mission would be successful .

  The absence of Lu Bu’s reaction irked Khan . Although Lu Bu was wearing a red knight helmet, Khan suddenly had the urge to punch his face to teach him a lesson .

  "Your attitude annoys me, my past . Let see how you fare in this world!"

  Lu Bu harrumphed and calmly controlled his spirits to exchange blows with four ghosts of Khan .

  Two of Khan’s souls stole a weapon from the corpses nearby and rushed at Lu Bu while the other two kept Lu Bu’s spirits occupied .

  "Your tactic reminds me of how much of a cheating bastard Tong was . Well, cheating is a skill, so that must be your skills . "

  Lu Bu took a deep breath . As he exhaled, he muttered .

  "Time Alter: Double Accel!"

  *WHOOSH*

  *WHOOSH*

  Two spirits of Lu Bu swung their halberds during the sudden speed boost .

  The weapons glowed in white light and cut a piece of flesh of the two spirits .

  Two wounds appeared on Khan’s real body!
