Hou Mingxi simply offered a faint smile.
Haru stumbled backward, struck by the terrifying realization of what this man was capable of. Hou Mingxi had actually used an entire city as bait!

"After a whole night of burning, killing, and looting, your men must be exhausted, right?" Hou Mingxi asked.
He took a step forward as a swarm of soldiers surged into the courtyard from outside, swiftly slaughtering the remaining barbarian soldiers. The tables had truly turned!
