The sudden attack threw the Liao army into utter disarray.

Flames, fueled by tung oil, raged wildly within the dark and cramped canyon. People and horses alike were caught in the chaotic pandemonium, unable to escape. All living beings fled, but driven by their primal instinct for survival, they scrambled and panicked, only to increase their casualties rather than find safety.

It was a crush of people, pushing and shoving, with frantic horses thrashing and trampling. In this chaos, almost no one could escape unharmed.

Once you fall, no one will bother to come and save you. All that awaits you is the trampling of countless boots and hooves until you are reduced to a bloody pulp.

And tung oil played the biggest role at this time.

Whether human or beast, once touched by tung oil, a single spark of fire would ignite it instantly. It would burn like an ember clinging to the bone, impossible to extinguish. The intense pain and burning sensation drove both people and horses into a frenzy, struggling and running in terror. Then flames would catch onto others, spreading rapidly, engulfing the entire valley in an instant.

In the narrow gorge, screams echoed like mournful howls. Beneath a raging inferno, the aroma of roasting flesh filled the air.

The crimson flames illuminated the entire canyon as if it were daytime. On the precipice, Su Pingbei and the others were so excited their faces flushed red.

But by now, both Liao armies that had already crossed the strait and those that had yet to cross had reacted.

A hail of arrows rapidly covered the counterattack, inflicting considerable casualties on the Qin army in a short period of time.

Su Pingbei, seeing the situation, knew they could not stay long. He immediately ordered a retreat.

However, just as Su Pingbei was about to run over, outside the canyon, a sharp shriek accompanied by a figure shot over.

Only to see the figure in the darkness, like a black lightning bolt, after only two leaps on the cliff, rushed up. The person was extremely purposeful, rushing straight towards Su Pingbei.

The opponent's speed was extremely fast, Su Pingbei's heart jumped wildly, and he subconsciously flew back.

Su Pingbei, although he had some martial arts skills, was clearly no match for the other party.

Just a few steps back, and the opponent was already right in front of him.

By the firelight, Su Pingbei saw that it was a middle-aged man with an elegant appearance like a scholar.

"Come at me!"

The other party let out a low growl and raised their hand to grab at Su Pingbei's head.

In that instant, Su Pingbei felt the air around him seemed to freeze. He wanted to escape, but he felt as if he were trapped in an invisible cage, unable to break free.

"General, be careful!!!"

At the most critical moment, a loud roar came from beside Su Pingbei. Immediately after, Su Pingbei's vision blurred, and he saw his adjutant standing in front of him.

Before Su Pingbei could react, the adjutant's head exploded like a watermelon smashed on the ground.

One hand pierced through the adjutant's head, still dripping with warm brain matter and bone fragments.

In the meantime, Su Pingbei had been dragged back by several personal soldiers, while more soldiers rushed forward to face the middle-aged man.

"What the hell!!!"

Su Pingbei almost roared himself hoarse. He watched helplessly as his adjutant died, and one after another soldiers who rushed up to stop the enemy were killed by the middle-aged man, like stepping on tofu. Su Pingbei was like a madman possessed.

"General, run away quickly!"

Several bodyguards clutched Su Pingbei tightly and dragged him backward.

"If you don't run now, it will be too late!"Chapter 746: Life-Saving Talisman
