Xiao Xuance's gaze darkened, his voice filled with anger. Ma Shan! You are courting death!
Ma Shan showed no fear, pointing to the blade at his chest.
I risked life and limb for you, and what the hell do you do? Just to coax an enemy female general, you hand over a city to her with your own hands!
Do you not know that once the Great Zhou army enters the city, they will slaughter for three days straight? Have you forgotten the human tragedies in the neighboring cities?
Are you still a general of Great Qin or not?!
The tragedy of those scenes...
Even when Ma Shan slept, he would wake up in terror from the nightmares!
Three days of unsealed swords.
Burning, killing, looting, committing every evil imaginable!
Rivers of blood, corpses piled as high as mountains!
One vibrant life after another butchered by the Great Zhou army!
Women treated like dogs, abused at will.
Men turned into moving targets, shot down for the Great Zhou army's amusement!
Xiao Xuance was briefly stunned by Ma Shan's roaring. When he recovered, veins bulged on his forehead, and killing intent boiled in his eyes.
Ma Shan! You dare defy this general! Die!
Swish!
The longsword in his hand thrust fiercely toward Ma Shan, its blade flashing with a cold light.
Its speed reached the absolute limit, tearing through the air with an ear-piercing shriek.
Unable to dodge, Ma Shan could only watch helplessly as the sword aura struck toward him!
General Ma!
Suddenly, a lowly soldier shoved him out of the way.
Squelch!
The sharp longsword pierced right through the soldier's body.
Blood sprayed in all directions!
Ma Shan stood frozen in place, watching the soldier collapse. Gushing blood splattered all over his face.
Ge... General Ma... flee... Tell His Majesty that we border guards are loyal to Great Qin... loyal to His Majesty...
Large mouthfuls of blood welled up from the soldier's mouth. After uttering his final words, his head slumped to the side, and he breathed his last.
Ma Shan's body trembled violently. With bloodshot eyes full of murderous intent, he glared at Xiao Xuance.
You beast! You murder your own brothers-in-arms! A person like you is unworthy of being a general!
You will definitely pay the price for what you have done today!
With that said, he hesitated no longer, leaping onto his horse and galloping away.
Trying to run? A cold glint flashed in Xiao Xuance's eyes. He stomped his right foot fiercely on the ground and vaulted forward.
His figure shot out like an arrow leaving the bowstring, instantly giving chase.
A mere ant dares to threaten this general!
Dying for this general's love is your greatest honor!
Die!
Xiao Xuance slashed his sword downward, sending a crimson blade aura rushing toward Ma Shan.
Ma Shan was terrified!
Feeling the crisis of impending death, waves of powerlessness washed over him, and he involuntarily closed his eyes.
He wanted to notify His Majesty, but he could not even accomplish such a simple task.
If you want to hurt General Ma, you will have to step over our dead bodies!
At the critical moment, a group of soldiers stepped forward.
They used their own flesh and blood to block the sword aura.
The terrifying sword aura sliced through more than a dozen of them at the waist, sending flesh and blood flying.
Blood dyed the entire grassy field red.
General Ma, run! Hurry and notify His Majesty!
One of them roared with heart-wrenching desperation.
Seeing this, Ma Shan's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down his cheeks uncontrollably.
Not daring to pause, he could only ride his horse forward with all his might.
Damn it!
Xiao Xuance stared fixedly at Ma Shan's retreating back, his gaze incredibly gloomy.
He took a step forward, preparing to pursue.
But more and more soldiers blocked his path.
Their faces were fierce, and they looked at death as if returning home!
Interesting! Ridiculous! A bunch of ants trying to block my way!
Xiao Xuance's killing intent surged, and his aura skyrocketed. His longsword slashed through the void, sweeping up a sky full of dust and sand.
A terrifying pressure swept in from all directions, causing the group of soldiers to cough up blood, their faces turning deathly pale.
They were all ordinary soldiers, unable to even withstand Xiao Xuance's aura.
But even so, they still erupted with ultimate fury!
What is interesting about this?! What is ridiculous?! What exactly do you take the lives of our brothers-in-arms for?!
But the only response they received was Xiao Xuance's frenzied slaughter!
Since these people refused to submit, he would kill until they did!
Fifteen minutes later.
With a dark expression, Xiao Xuance sheathed his sword.
The ground was littered with corpses. Blood converged into streams, soaking the grass.
Their eyes were wide open, dying with lingering grievances.
Men! Hunt down Ma Shan for this general. I want to see him alive, or see his corpse if he is dead!
He feared Ma Shan meeting with Qin Xiao. If the two met and Qin Xiao learned of what happened, what if he did not come to Yumen Pass?
This was a golden opportunity, a chance to hold the emperor hostage to command the nobles. He could not easily let it go!
Wang Xuerou stepped forward.
Brother Xuance, let my people go.
She swept her gaze around, looking at the angry Great Qin soldiers, and chuckled softly.
Their eyes seem quite defiant. I am afraid they might let Ma Shan go.
Xiao Xuance pondered for a moment and nodded.
Then let your people go.
As soon as his words fell, Wang Xuerou seemed to have already been prepared.
A cavalry unit of over a thousand men quickly appeared from behind her, heading straight out in pursuit of Ma Shan.
Xiao Xuance pulled Wang Xuerou into his arms, his voice gentle.
Rou'er, I will compensate you. I give Qingshan City to you; you can do whatever you want with it.
With just a single sentence, he decided the life and death of a million people.
The two embraced, kissing each other fiercely.
This scene left the soldiers present looking at each other in dismay, their eyes filled with extreme anger.
.....
"Hyah! Hyah!!"
A thousand cavalrymen were in hot pursuit, charging through the woods and crossing the riverbanks, relentlessly driving Ma Shan into a corner!
"Damn it!"
Clutching his endlessly bleeding chest, Ma Shan was deathly pale, the severe pain forcing him to clench his jaw.
But he dared not relax for a single moment. He whipped his horse frantically, urging the beast beneath him to gallop forward as if his life depended on it.
Just as he was about to shake off the pursuers behind him...
He rounded a corner, only to find his path blocked by a rocky cliff and fallen trees snapped in half on the ground.
Ahead stood over a dozen black-armored soldiers, staring at Ma Shan with mocking expressions.
"Ma Shan, you have nowhere left to run!"
A cold voice rang out.
The bearded brute leading them sneered coldly.
The thousand cavalrymen had completely surrounded Ma Shan!
"It's over!"
Despair filled Ma Shan's heart. He looked around, only to see the Great Zhou army encircling him so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak through!
"My life ends here!"
He roared at the sky, his face full of bitter unwillingness.
His life had been bought with the blood and sacrifice of hundreds, even thousands, of his fellow soldiers.
If he died, who would inform His Majesty?
The bearded leader looked disdainful and waved his hand.
"The general has ordered: attack together and kill him!"
Following his words, the thousand Great Zhou soldiers swarmed forward.
"No!"
Ma Shan bellowed.
But he had nowhere to hide.
"Ah!!!"
His face twisted in a ferocious grimace, Ma Shan let out a furious roar and charged forward with his sword raised.
Even if he had to die, he would take these men down with him!
But right at that moment.
A figure soared into the sky and landed steadily on the massive boulder in front of the crowd.
Golden armor engraved with dragon motifs radiated a dazzling brilliance under the sunlight.
With a high nose bridge, chiseled features, and eyes as deep as dark pools, his entire being exuded an overwhelmingly powerful aura!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic.

Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
