Back then, General Invincible had led the Undying Army in an assault on the village—an ordeal sent by Heaven and Earth to stop Xuanhuang Village from ascending to town status. But that trial had taken place in Xuanhuang City, so how could he suddenly appear now, in the Golden Sand Desert? More bafflingly, he had slipped back into the ranks of the Undying Army. A bizarre character like General Invincible—there was no way there could be a second one.
"Very well, General Invincible. We didn't get a proper fight last time, but this time… I'll see what makes you so terrifying."A glint flashed in Yi Tianxing's eyes, and a faint excitement rose on his face.
No matter how he ended up here, one thing was clear—this time, the enmity from that battle for Xuanhuang Village could finally be settled.
Nearby, Feng Xianlin and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths. This skeletal general was a disgrace to the military, an insult to what it meant to be a general. He was an embarrassment—he should be nailed to the pillar of shame.
"How could there be such a freakish general? Absolutely disgraceful!"Yue Qiang's expression turned ugly.
"Not surprising. He's already dead—turned into an undead. At this point, no amount of weirdness is unexpected. But still, I really want to kill him." Xue Kunlun's voice was like ice.
The surrounding undead didn't react much to General Invincible's appearance. In fact, they kept their distance out of reverence—skeletons and mummies all retreated from around him, clearing a ten-zhang radius where no undead dared to stand.
That was a sign of pure intimidation.
🔥 [Undead Banner of Souls]
Behind General Undefeated flew massive battle banners, within which countless wailing souls could be seen, their roars merging into two loud cries: "INVINCIBLE!!" The banners were clearly enchanted—they absorbed souls and used them to cheer for him, amplifying his overwhelming aura.
All around, undead warriors turned their hollow gazes toward General Undefeated. In those empty sockets, reverence and admiration flickered.
"To be so shameless... that's true invincibility."
"Where did this guy come from? Never seen him before… but he's a role model for our kind."
Even within the Undying Army, some stronger undead couldn't help but comment spiritually.
🎵 "Being Invincible… is so, so lonely." sang a chorus from the banner on the left.
🎵 "Being Invincible… is so empty." echoed the right banner.
🎵 "Alone atop the peak, cold winds ceaselessly blow…" came the grand finale.
The song echoed across the desert, whipping up sandstorms, and fluttering the banners.
General Invincible lifted his skull and gazed at the sky. In the depths of his hollow sockets, the flame of his will burned deep—invincible, and eternally alone.
This scene made countless people's eyes twitch and their mouths cramp. Even just looking at the skeletal general made one feel like they'd just lost a bit of sanity. Truly a freak. A shameless freak.
"Lord, let me go kill that shameless General Invincible right now."Wushuang Ghost's face twitched violently. He couldn't stand it anymore—the sheer force of pretentiousness from the skeletal general was unbearable. It wounded him deeply.
And not just Wushuang Ghost—at this moment, everyone in General's Valley wanted to bash that skeleton to dust.
"When the battle begins, forget everything else—focus fire on that shameless general. He's a disgrace to the military."
"Yes! Others can live, but that filthy disgrace must die!"
"Ready the troops! We cannot let the Undying Army enter the oasis. General's Valley is ours to defend!"
A wave of righteous indignation swept through General's Valley.
"Form up! Prepare for battle!!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM!!
Explosions rang out as troops burst forth from the valley.
It was a cavalry force—a true cavalry charge.
They wore Sandstorm Armor, wielded long, wide Scorpion Sabers, and rode massive flaming warhorses—not ordinary steeds, but ones wreathed in crimson flame. Their manes danced like fire, and their tails—scorpion tails—lashed with deadly sting tips that gleamed with venomous light.
🔥 [ Blazing Scorpion Warhorse]
Native to the Golden Sand Desert, these horses are born of the bloodline of Blazing Horses and Desert Scorpions, possessing both fire affinity and toxic tail stingers. A single sting can incinerate flesh with fire venom.
🛡️ [Gale Cavalry Legion]
Personally founded by General Feng Xianlin, who tamed the Scorpion Warhorse King during the early chaos of the Cataclysm. From there, he built a full cavalry corps known for devastating charges and overwhelming firepower.
"The Gale Cavalry's making their move! General's Valley won't take this lying down. Undying Army or not, their power might be on par!"
The people, who were moments ago terrified of the Undying Army, now felt their morale lifted at the sight of ten thousand warhorses sweeping out like a flame storm.
"KILL! KILL! KILL!!"
There were ten thousand strong in the Gale Cavalry.Each rider carried both a war bow and a quiver of heavy arrows.
When they moved, it was like a storm had been unleashed.
BOOM!!
Suddenly, a giant warhorse burst from the gorge.
It was wreathed in intense flames, its scorpion tail swaying. A crimson royal sigil shimmered on its forehead. All nearby warhorses bowed their heads—it was the Scorpion Warhorse King.
Atop the beast sat Feng Xianlin.
He now wore azure battle armor, wielding a large green warbow, and at his side hung a massive war sword and rows of arrows.
🗡️ [Stormbreaker War Sword]
A two-meter-long greatsword with a one-meter hilt. Its blade radiated killing intent. Clearly, this was a sword that had tasted blood many times.
"Charge!! Blade Formation—forward!!"Feng Xianlin raised his hand and shouted.
He took the lead, unsheathing his massive sword.
Cavalry was terrifying not just due to individual power, but the impact of their charge. Riding warhorses, they became living battering rams. A good steed wasn't just transport—it was a combatant. On the battlefield, a powerful mount could save a life or take dozens.
A single cavalryman was no threat. But ten thousand in formation—that was a tidal wave of steel and fire, and even before they arrived, the pressure of their momentum could crush enemy morale.
Feng Xianlin understood this perfectly.
His Gale Cavalry had been forged through countless battles. They moved now like one giant blade—their Blade Formation slicing toward the Undying Army.
The earth thundered.
Sand flew.
Flaming scorpion horses galloped like living infernos, breathing fire, their manes blazing.
"How decisive! He's striking before the enemy can fully encircle them. He's testing their strength head-on. This isn't just bold—it's strategic brilliance."Yi Tianxing watched Feng Xianlin's preemptive strike and felt a new sense of respect.Without a doubt, Feng was a man of ruthless decisiveness.
"So fast… These scorpion horses could probably travel a thousand li in a day. Their charge is like wildfire."Even Wushuang Ghost was shocked by the sheer explosiveness of the Gale Cavalry.
The entire force moved like a single being—its aura overwhelming.
"Kill!!"
The Undying Army hadn't expected such boldness. Not a word of negotiation, no delay—they were hit with a full-force cavalry charge from the very start.
To them, these weren't riders—they were roaring waves of fire.
Within that fire lay the power of destruction.
But the undead felt no fear. Their aura remained cold and steady. Without hesitation, they began to strike back. After all, they were undead—they had long been stripped of mortal emotion.
BOOM!!
The Gale Cavalry's speed was so fast that even though the undead reacted quickly, they didn't have time to complete their formation. The cavalry smashed straight into them.
Feng Xianlin's sword erupted in blinding light. With one swing, he cleaved a mummy in half. The arc of his sword continued—slicing through several skeletons in a single motion.
CRACK!!
Behind him, other riders swung their sabers without mercy. The scorpion blades, infused with qi, gleamed with deadly sharpness. One by one, skulls flew. Mummies tumbled.
Some of the tougher corpses made metallic sounds as blades struck them—armor-hard bodies that didn't go down easily. But even they were knocked back by the massive momentum of the charge.
The cavalry's impact exploded into full force.
Undead shattered.
Formations broke.
Still, the undead knew no fear. They retaliated quickly.
One skeleton swung a bone blade toward a rider. The weapon gleamed with a dark, icy light, and its slash bristled with killing intent.
Even as the rider's steed barreled toward it, the undead warrior didn't flinch.
