Chapter 308 A Small Gourd as a Gift

Faced with the tense situation of external threats, Yun Muhan decided to adopt an unconventional strategy. He found an ancient gourd in the ring, a gourd said to possess mysterious power, capable of holding anything.

Yun Muhan began displaying the gourd throughout the city, claiming that it could absorb the enemy's power and render them powerless.

His behavior appeared to be drunken antics, but in reality, he was using it to conceal his true intentions. His acting was so convincing that it was difficult to distinguish between reality and fiction.

He shouted loudly in the street, waving his gourd and claiming, "Watch closely, this gourd can suck away all your strength, leaving you as helpless as babies!" His exaggerated movements and expressive face made people laugh.

Yun Muhan's actions quickly attracted the attention of the enemy, who began to mock him, thinking he was nothing more than a madman.

The enemy's laughter echoed throughout Youguang City. They scoffed at Yun Muhan's gourd, considering it nothing more than an absurd trick.

However, Yun Muhan paid no heed to the enemy's mockery. He continued his performance, even loudly proclaiming at the city gate, "You foreign enemies, come at me! My gourd will show you what true power is!"

His voice was loud and confident, which made some citizens begin to doubt whether he really possessed some kind of mysterious power.

In the eyes of the enemy, Yun Muhan was nothing more than a drunken madman, and they didn't care about his gourd. This was exactly the effect Yun Muhan wanted.

His true intention was to lower the enemy's guard in this way, while buying himself and the guards of Ghostlight City time to prepare for battle.

The enemy general's arrogance, boasting that he could deal with someone like Yun Muhan in just two strikes, played right into Yun Muhan's hands. Yun Muhan decided to seize this opportunity to teach the enemy a profound lesson.

Amidst the jeers of the enemy generals, Yun Muhan feigned drunkenness and staggered to the front of the battlefield, the gourd in his hand gleaming faintly in the sunlight.

He shouted, "Come on, let me see how skilled you are with these two swords!" His voice carried a hint of provocation, but more so, it reflected his anticipation for the upcoming battle.

The enemy general sneered, brandishing his broadsword as he charged toward Yun Muhan, confident that he could easily defeat this seemingly drunken opponent.

His movements were swift and powerful, each strike accompanied by a whistling sound, demonstrating his strength and combat experience.

However, just as the blade was about to touch Yun Muhan, he suddenly vanished from his spot, and the enemy general's attack struck only air. This scene shocked everyone, and the enemy soldiers who had been mocking Yun Muhan were suddenly speechless.

Yun Muhan appeared behind the enemy general. Suddenly, the gourd in his hand emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful suction force gushed out from the gourd's mouth, absorbing all of the enemy general's attack power.

This gourd is not just a simple magical artifact; the power it contains far exceeds the enemy general's imagination.

"What...what kind of sorcery is this?" the enemy general cried out in horror, his voice filled with disbelief and fear.

Yun Muhan sneered and replied, "This is not sorcery, but the price of your ignorance." His voice revealed a hint of contempt, as well as a hint of warning.

The gourd in his hand utilizes the mystical power of the gourd in culture, transforming it into a powerful weapon in actual combat, rendering the enemy general's attack ineffective.

Yun Muhan's words echoed across the battlefield, and his figure stood out among the enemy troops.

The enemy general's face showed unprecedented fear; he realized he had underestimated his seemingly drunken opponent. Yun Muhan's strength and wisdom made him a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.

The enemy general's confidence was instantly shattered, and his fear began to spread throughout the army.

"You think this is the end?" the enemy general roared, trying to regroup his troops and launch a more intense attack.

His face was filled with resentment and anger; he couldn't accept that he had suffered a setback against an opponent who appeared to be a drunkard.

However, Yun Muhan did not give him that chance.

He raised the gourd high, chanting incantations, and suddenly a powerful beam of light shot out from it, soaring into the sky. This beam formed a huge halo in the sky, completely enveloping the enemy army.

This halo was created by Yun Muhan using the mysterious power of the gourd. It is not only a powerful defensive measure, but also a strategy for controlling the battlefield situation.

Within the aura, the enemy soldiers' movements became sluggish, and their weapons seemed incredibly heavy, rendering them ineffective. The aura emanating from Yun Muhan's gourd seemed to disrupt the enemy's battle rhythm, causing their offensive to crumble instantly.

Meanwhile, Yun Muhan and the guards of Youguang City, protected by the aura, moved freely and seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Led by Yun Muhan, the guards were greatly encouraged, and their courage and strength were fully displayed at this moment.

Princess Qiluo also joined the battle, wielding a longsword with heroic grace, fighting alongside Yun Muhan. Her figure darted across the battlefield, each swing of her sword accurately striking the enemy's vitals.

She was not only the jewel of Gloomlight City, but also a Valkyrie on the battlefield; her presence greatly boosted the morale of the Gloomlight City guards.

The combined efforts of Yun Muhan and Princess Qiluo completely thwarted the enemy general's plan. They demonstrated not only their individual strength but also the power of teamwork.

With the aura amplified, the guards of Ghostlight City surged forward like an unstoppable torrent, repelling the enemy's offensive one by one.

In this battle, Yun Muhan not only protected Youguang City with his wisdom and strength, but also won the enemy's respect with his courage and determination.

"Mr. Xingxie, where did you get this gourd?" Princess Qiluo asked during a break in the battle, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Yun Muhan smiled slightly and replied, "An ancient secret."

After the battle lasted for some time, the enemy finally could not hold out and began to collapse.

Yun Muhan and the guards of Youguang City pressed their advantage, driving the enemy army completely out of Youguang City's territory. Their bravery and tenacity shattered the enemy's morale, and the enemy soldiers scattered and fled, abandoning their weapons and equipment in an attempt to escape the battlefield.

After the battle, Yun Muhan put away the gourd, his figure appearing exceptionally tall in the afterglow of the setting sun.

His face showed a hint of fatigue, but even more so, the joy and satisfaction of victory. This victory was not only due to his strength, but also to the unity and courage of the people of Ghostlight City.

The city's residents cheered and swelled with joy, surrounding Yun Muhan to celebrate this hard-won victory.

The children laughed and jumped, while the adults hugged each other, thanking Yun Muhan and the guards for everything they had done for their city.

The elderly people had tears in their eyes. They were proud of the victory and also proud of Yun Muhan's wisdom and courage.

Princess Qiluo joined the celebrating crowd, her eyes filled with respect and gratitude. She walked up to Yun Muhan and bowed deeply: "Mr. Xingxie, your wisdom and courage saved us all. Youguang City will forever remember your contribution."

Yun Muhan smiled and replied, "Your Highness, this is what I should do. Protecting Youguang City and its people is my inescapable responsibility."

As the sun set, the walls of Ghostlight City were bathed in gold, and the city lights gradually came on as the celebrations continued into the night.
