The raging fire in Guyuan City continued to spread toward the North.
The nighttime wind carried the scent of burning throughout the city, filling the streets with thick smoke, pungent and acrid.
On Kule Street, more than ten Heavenly Strategy Army Iron Cavalry wielding long spears surrounded Li Xuan and six civilians.
Li Xuan could only wield a sword with his right hand, holding a little girl under his left arm, constantly shifting his stance to shield the civilians behind him.
One Iron Cavalry raised a spear to attack the old man behind Li Xuan. With sharp reflexes, Li Xuan tapped the tip of the spear with his sword, emitting a sharp clang of metal.
The spear trembled under the impact, numbing the Iron Cavalry's hand. He immediately withdrew the weapon and warned with a solemn tone, "Careful, he's quite tricky."
