As they battled, the sky began to brighten.

The expeditionary army had Ren Xiaosu surrounded, and there were so many barbarians that when Ren Xiaosu looked around, he felt like he was being enveloped by a horde.

The barbarians' understanding of superhumans was that they would sometimes get exhausted too. If they could kill a powerful supernatural being like Ren Xiaosu by simply outnumbering him, the other main forces of the expeditionary army would face less resistance when they attacked the South in the future.

So even if they could not hurt Ren Xiaosu, they did not allow him to leave, nor did they make to retreat.

The barbarians had split up into two groups. One group circled Ren Xiaosu while the other circled Old Xu. In contrast, the battle at Old Xu's side was much more intense.

As Old Xu barged around, the barbarians who came into contact with the black saber would either lose an arm, a leg, or be left with huge wounds on their bodies.
