Chapter 9: The Lord of Heaven Intervention

　　Xiao Fan: (╯°Д°）╯︵ /(.□ . \)

　　A series of cracking sounds echoed as contorted figures and neighing warhorses plummeted violently from mid-air.

　　In an instant, dozens of Tibetan cavalrymen lost their lives, throwing the originally charging formation into disarray.

　　"Oh my god! What's happening?"

　　"The God! The God is angry! This city is truly blessed by the divine! We're done for! We're doomed!"

　　The Tibetan cavalrymen wailed, witnessing the grim scene on the ground, their morale shaken.

　　On the other side, Lu Yang, the valiant cavalry captain, and the villagers of Shule Town were instead filled with joy and high spirits.

　　"The Lord of Heaven has manifested! Thanks to the divine protection!" Yao Xi, a young girl in the small earthy town, prayed with inspiration in her heart.

　　Lu Yang raised his Tang sword and shouted, "The Lord of Heaven is assisting us! Kill! Wipe out these barbaric invaders!"

　　With only ten Tang Dynasty cavalrymen, they bravely charged towards the Tibetan military formation.

　　In an instant, the tide of battle turned, leaving Duoji confused and helpless. Shule Town was shielded by an unknown force, and behind him, a group of fearless soldiers from the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Army.

　　The instigator of all this was Xiao Fan outside the ecological box. He had no other choice; he simply wanted to protect these people. Taking the risk, he extended his hand into this unknown ecological box, sweeping through the Tibetan cavalry on the battlefield.

　　Unexpectedly, the effect was astonishing! Even Xiao Fan was taken aback!

　　Xiao Fan: (*｀へ´*)

　　Since that's the case, Xiao Fan decided to unleash another powerful move!

　　Facing the bewildered Tibetan cavalry tightly packed together, Xiao Fan fiercely slammed his palm down.

　　In Yao Xi's eyes (the only one who could witness it), this scene seemed like a deity descending. A colossal and mighty palm descended from the sky, ruthlessly smashing towards the Tibetan military formation.

　　Bang!

　　A thunderous roar shook the earth, causing the ground to tremble.

　　Countless Tibetan cavalrymen were instantly flattened into meat patties, their figures obliterated, and a large swath of red splattered in the air!

　　"Oh my god! Help! Help!"

　　"Kill! Kill them all!"

　　The wails of Tibetan cavalrymen mixed with the charging cries of the Tang Dynasty cavalry.

　　Xiao Fan raised his palm, and on it were patches of red, emitting the distinctive stench of blood.

　　All of this was human blood. Xiao Fan couldn't help but feel a bit shaken. With a casual movement of his hand, he had inadvertently killed countless people, living beings!

　　In the moment of Xiao Fan's hesitation, the Tibetan forces had a brief respite.

　　Duoji, the commander of the Tibetan cavalry, cursed inwardly: Lord of Heaven? What nonsense is this about the Lord of Heaven? These are all tricks of the Tang people. Why aren't they working now? It must be that their tricks are useless.

　　He couldn't accept such a failure. A thousand elite Tibetan cavalrymen couldn't conquer a small town like Shule! If he returned like this, the Second Prince of Tibet, Mou Di Ru Zan, would surely have him killed!

　　"Tibetan warriors! Don't be deceived by the cunning Tang people! These are all their tricks. Disperse and charge into Shule town!" Duoji lifted his curved blade and roared. This curved blade was bestowed upon him by Mou Di Ru Zan, bearing the symbol of the Tibetan Bon religion.

　　Indeed, despite heavy casualties, the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Army consisted of only ten men. Including the villagers of Shule town, they numbered no more than a hundred people, while the Tibetan cavalry still held an overwhelming advantage!

　　These Tibetan cavalrymen were the elites among the Tibetan army. Although they still harbored fear of the divine wrath, the instinct honed on the battlefield allowed them to quickly regain their morale. They followed Duoji's command, dispersed, and once again surged towards Shule town!

　　Xiao Fan: Σ(・□・;)

　　"These Tibetan people are simply insane!" Xiao Fan was startled. He hadn't expected that, even at this stage, the enemy remained so relentless!

　　Moreover, with Duoji's tactics, it was challenging for Xiao Fan to intervene. The Tibetan cavalry, originally gathered together, was now dispersed everywhere. It was like a giant using its palm to crush ants, and Xiao Fan had no idea where to start.

　　Duoji's tactics were highly effective. In a moment, Tibetan cavalry had already charged to the front of Shule town, rendering the town's mud walls virtually useless. The Tibetan cavalry leaped over them effortlessly.

　　Following this was a massacre. The villagers of Shule town, armed with farm tools, had no resistance whatsoever.

　　"Help!"

　　"Oh, Lord of Heaven! Save me!"

　　The cries of the villagers were filled with despair, their resistance insignificant against the Tibetan cavalry.

　　The curved blades of the Tibetan invaders swung, slashing across the neck of a Shule town male villager. A spray of red liquid followed.

　　That villager seemed to be called Li Shiwu, a name Xiao Fan had heard before, but at this moment, the person called Li Shiwu was already dead!

　　No!

　　But, This was war!

　　In war, it's a matter of life and death, with no room for mercy on the battlefield!

　　Invaders are invaders; they only seek to exterminate the people on that piece of land and occupy it!

　　One after another, Tibetan cavalry leaped over the city walls. Some entered through breaches in the walls, and one of them charged towards the young girl Yao Xi!

　　"Lord of Heaven..." Yao Xi clenched her fists, holding them in front of her chest. In that momentary gaze with Xiao Fan, there was a look of sorrow and desolation—a gaze that one displays when trampled and oppressed.

　　Xiao Fan: ◡ ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ

　　"Damn it! What the hell!" Xiao Fan was thoroughly enraged!

　　"Fxxk! Bullying should have limits! You guys are practically asking for death!" Xiao Fan cursed loudly!

　　The dispersal of the Tibetan cavalry did pose a significant challenge for Xiao Fan, but so what?

　　Bending down, Xiao Fan knelt in front of the ecological box, extending his hand. His middle finger suddenly bent, as if playing an invisible string, and then forcefully flicked towards the Tibetan cavalry charging at Yao Xi.

　　A crisp and clear sound echoed.

　　The Tibetan cavalry little figure was sent flying more than ten meters, crashing violently into the city wall. Accompanied by the strange sound of bones breaking, the unfortunate figure hadn't even had a chance to scream before his life was cut short.

　　If sweeping the enemy wasn't possible, then they would be dealt with one by one!

　　Yao Xi looked on in disbelief, raising her head towards the angry Lord of Heaven in the sky.

　　"Yao Xi, have everyone hide!" Xiao Fan said.

　　"Everyone! Quickly retreat to your houses! The Lord of Heaven is about to take action!" Yao Xi shouted.

　　"Lord of Heaven?! Alright! Everyone, quickly hide!" the villagers of Shule town exclaimed loudly.

　　Bang, bang, bang, bang!

　　Successive crisp sounds rang out as the Tibetan cavalrymen who had charged into Shule town died one by one. It was an invisible force, and those who survived were terrified to the core.

　　"There are ghosts! This is not tricks!"

　　"Let's run! They really have the protection of a Lord of Heaven!"

　　The Tibetan cavalrymen fled in panic towards the outskirts of the town.

　　On the battlefield outside Shule town, Xiao Fan scooped up sand and rocks from the ecological box with one hand. In the eyes of the Tibetan cavalry, a sand and rock curtain rose from the ground—a scene that resembled the power of ghosts and gods!

　　In the next moment, Xiao Fan flung the sand and rocks in his hand towards the dispersed Tibetan cavalry. Each stone was like a bullet, directly shooting down these invading figures.

　　Captain Lu Yang and the other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's Anxi Army, witnessing the wrath of the Lord of Heaven, were immensely inspired! They bravely fought the enemies!

　　In this battle, the Tibetans were already defeated!

　　"Don't panic! Don't panic! Follow my command! The warriors of the Tibetan Empire won't lose!" Duoji shouted loudly.

　　But all his efforts were in vain! The Tibetan cavalry was almost completely annihilated, and the few survivors were already terrified!

　　At this moment, Duoji felt an invisible pressure, as if a mountain was descending. He looked up at the sky, where there seemed to be nothing, but he could sense the powerful oppression, and the swirling yellow sand dispersed under that unnamed force!

　　Xiao Fan: (´･Д･)」

　　Xiao Fan had already locked onto the commander of the Tibetan cavalry. With one palm, he was prepared to crush him into pulp!

　　The giant palm descended!

　　In fear, Duoji wildly swung the curved blade, the crescent moon saber.

　　"Kill! Kill! Kill!" Duoji screamed madly.

　　Thrust!

　　The saber seemed to pierce something, and then a tremendous force flung Duoji into the air. However, the fall was not high, and he descended quickly.

　　Crashing heavily onto the ground, the once silver-white saber was now stained red!

　　Xiao Fan: w(ﾟДﾟ)w
