  Although the escort soldiers managed to freeze Pang De’s troops, their bullets were not infinite . After a few seconds, they ran out of ammo .

  Because these soldiers only trained about shooting and reloading to save bullet cost, they lacked real combat experiences in a gunfight and a real battle . As a result, they panicked and forgot to reload their ammunition .

  Five hundreds of Pang De fell from the sudden gunfire, and five hundred men were critically injured . However, the other four thousand were still unharmed!

  Four thousand men charged at the panicking escorts, planning to end their lives and capture Hua Shi .

  "Reload your guns and get a hold of yourself!"

  Hua Shi bellowed and resummoned her spirits, using them to barrage magic arrows at the oncoming soldiers .

  Rain of light arrows dropped on the charging men, but they were not destructive enough to stop the wave of humans . After bracing three hundred bolts, the surviving soldiers reached Hua Shi and her escorts .

  "Tsk!"

  Hua Shi pulled out her pistol and fired at the nearest soldiers while her two souls drew their swords and protected Hua Shi’s real body .

  *BANG*

  *BANG*

  *BANG*

  The remaining escort soldiers managed to reload their guns and continued firing, but Pang De and ambushing soldiers had already reached them .

  *SWUA*

  Screams from Hua Shi’s escort troops mixed in with the contact sounds of iron .

  *SWUA*

  *SWUA*

  *BANG*

  Now, for every one bullet fired, two escorts were killed . The favor of the battle shifted toward Pang De’s side in an instant .

  "Don’t ever think that I can’t fight!"

  Hua Shi roared and her spirits became more violent . They stopped protecting her real body and charged at the enemies, trying to save as many escort soldiers as possible .

  Unfortunately, her attempt was fruitless . The battle lasted for less than ten minutes, and Hua Shi was surrounded by a thousand soldiers .

  Around her, corpses of Pang De’s men laid around as Hua Shi stood firm by herself . As for the rest of her escort soldiers, they did not make it .

  On the other hand, Pang De lost 2,000 soldiers while another 1,500 men were injured from the short fight .

  In Pang De’s mind, this was his significant loss, but he accomplished his task nonetheless .

  "Surrender, you are the only one left . "

  Hua Shi glared at Pang De with hatred . Because of her anger, her memory about Tong and Li Feihong’s words in the clan chat foiled her mood further .

  When someone had a negative thought, that person began to doubt everybody else . Hua Shi also suffered the same syndrome of self-hatred and blind anger .

  As she was about to bellow [Never], her steel ring on her left ring finger reflected the sunlight to her eyes .

  \r \r \r

  It was the engagement ring that Tong and the local blacksmith forged it for her during their free times . She remembered that Tong went to several blacksmiths to learn about tinkering and steel forgery himself . It took him two months to craft two rings for Friday and Hua Shi each .

  "Tong …… Min’er . "

  As Hua Shi thought of her daughter and her husband, she regained her conscience, logical thinking, and her sanity .

  Looking around, it appeared that her fate had already been sealed . Had Hua Shi fought with Pang De, she would not come out unharmed as she was not a melee-battle oriented reincarnator .

  Hua Shi was still a nurse with a bit of power to protect herself!

  "I’ll surrender, but none of you have the right to lay a hand on me . "

  Pang De snorted, "A woman has no right to deny men’s orders . Not only you will be our captive, but you will also pay for our dead soldiers with your body!"

  The face of Hua Shi twitched . It seemed that if she surrendered, she would be ravished by thousand of soldiers . As a result, Hua Shi changed her mind!

  "If you go too far, you’ll die . You’re just a rookie with a bit of power . You aren’t my match if we fight . "

  "Try it . I want to see how I die . "

  Hua Shi snickered . She may not excel in melee combat, but she had many trump cards, just like Tong .

  "I’ve warned you, but you didn’t listen . I tried to surrender, but you didn’t accept it . Blame yourself for overestimating your abilities . "

  Hua Shi activated her inventory, dropping barrels of crude oil . The two spirits rushed in and destroyed the barrel, flooding the black oil around herself .

  Because of the sudden move, Pang De and all soldiers could not withdraw on time . Their feet stood on the flooded ground of black liquid .

  Pang De knew about the property of this lamp oil . He stared at Hua Shi in shock .

  "You’re crazy! You’ll die, too!"

  "No, I’ll live, but you all will die! Now, I’ll ask you this . Will you surrender to me, or all of you will be burned to death . "

  "You wrench!"

  In desperation, Pang De attempted to rush Hua Shi, but he slipped and fell on the swamp of crude oil, face first .

  Hua Shi took off her oil-soaked sandals while her two spirits carried her up to the sky .

  The crowd of soldiers stared at Hua Shi in disbelief . As none of them had seen anyone flying, seeing Hua Shi and her spirits standing in mid-air shocked them .

  "A-A-A goddess!?"

  "T-That’s a real immortal!?"

  "That guy is flying!"

  None of them paid attention to the crude oil anymore .

  While she was at it, she scanned through her inventory to find something to ignite a fire . Unfortunately, she only had spare bullets and pistols from Tong .

  "Oh well . I doubt I can ignite a fire with this . "

  Hua Shi looked down and aimed her gun at an iron armor of a dead soldier .

  "Bye-Bye! Morons . "

  *BANG*

  The bullet hit the iron plate, creating sparks of flame . As the small particles of fire landed on the crude oil, a chain reaction occurred .

  *BOOM*

  The sea of fire exploded, cooking everyone below alive .

  Sounds of screams and burning flesh resonated throughout the field . On the other hand, Hua Shi’s souls carried Hua Shi’s body away from the fire in a hurry as her clothes also caught fire .

  Although Hua Shi also suffered burning injuries from the sudden flame explosion, she simply stripped off her burning clothes and commanded her spirits to take her away from this battlefield .

  As flew for only 20 meters, a fire arrow came from within the sea of flame .

  The arrow carried the aura force of a one-wing angel . It penetrated the undefended Hua Shi’s neck!

  *PU*

  Pang De, who was getting cooked alive, had fired his last arrow at Hua Shi .

  Seeing that his arrow hit the target, Pang De grinned .

  "I’ll see you in Hell, wrench!"

  That was the last word of this famous general who had squired against Guan Yu in history . He collapsed into the sea of flame as his body turned into a dark charcoaled body .

  Hua Shi’s body also lost strength as the arrow cut her spinal cord in her neck . Fortunately, her spirits carried her further away from the fire sea and placed her down on the clean grass area .

  Blood seeped out from the wound even though Hua Shi had not taken out the arrow . Hua Shi could not talk or move now, but her brain was still functioning .

  ’I’m glad I came here prepared . Thanks for thinking of me, Tong . Regen!’

  Her neck flowed in white light, and the arrow ejected from her neck . The wound closed as all of her burning injuries healed .

  This was Hua Shi’s preparation before the journey!

  During these peaceful years, Tong forced Hua Shi to copy his skills by using dual-cultivation . Since most of Tong system cheats were supporting type skills, Hua Shi did not miss copying the precious [Immortal Yang Vein] .

  Although she did not need those infinite yang seeds, having an instant self-healing ability was ensuring .

  As Hua Shi was exhausted from the battle, she lied on the grassland while she reported her battle result in the clan chat .

  Hua Shi: "I almost die, but I killed Pang De . "

  Hua Shi: "I’m tired, though . (T_T)"

  There were comments and praises from Tong and Li Feihong, but Hua Shi did not care at this point . She was glad that she survived a calamity by herself for once . It was an exhilarating and thrilling, just like how she survived a collapsed building and killed a psychopath in her previous life .

  When Hua Shi gathered a bit of her strength, she changed her clothes and returned to Wan City . As she was alone at the moment, it would be eye-catching if a young woman like her traveled to the north without guards or escorts .

  ’I’ll hire a thousand mercenaries this time . Wait, I have to adjust my look into a eunuch or a man . A lone girl in a party of wild mercenaries is like offering myself to be raped . ’

  Hua Shi mumbled as she blamed Tong for sending her here on an errand . .

  Before Hua Shi and Pang De battled inside Wan’s territory, Sun Jian’s spies had detected the movement of Xiongnu in Wan .

  Huang Gai, who had been tasked to monitored Wan City, sent his spy report in the clan chat .

  Huang Gai: "Xiongnu is crossing the mountain and bypassing Li County . The number is around 5,000 men . "

  Sun Jian: "I’ll send Fang over there . Keep protecting our flanks . "

  Huang Gai: "Understood! None of them will pass through here!" .

  Sun Fang, who also read the clan chat, sighed in boredom and regret . From the looks of it, he had to fly back to Wan and dropped a carpet bomb to help General Huang Gai .

  Sun Fang: "Father, I’ll be going . I’ll take Li Jing with me . "

  Sun Jian: "Good luck . When you’re done, stay with your uncle . "

  Sun Fang: "Okay . "

  Sun Fang gazed at Li Jing beside him .

  "Let’s go, wifey . "

  "Yeah, I want to chase that otherworlder too . "

  "I doubt we’ll run into her . "

  "Well, maybe we won’t . But at least, we can hope . "
