"Everyone stop! Without my order, no one is allowed to make a move!" the old general commanded in a deep voice.
His authority was immense within the army, and once the order was given, all the City Guard soldiers, despite their dissatisfaction, obediently put away their weapons.
In the blink of an eye, Wu Ziyue's raging sword swung toward him, and the old general raised his sword to block.
With a "clang," the longswords met, and the old general was shocked back several steps, spewing a mouthful of blood.
Wu Ziyue was filled with hatred and was unwilling to let it go, immediately following with another sword attack.
The old general, along with his sword, was sent flying by a single slash, and while in mid-air, he vomited blood again.
"General!" Seeing the old general heavily fall to the ground, several City Guard officers hurriedly stepped forward, while the other soldiers once again gripped the hilts of their swords, glaring angrily at Wu Ziyue.
