Chapter 1480 - 1149: Bloody Road and Cold Gleam (Part 2)

Yu Wenye spurred his horse, confronting this blood rain.

In every previous charge, he was accustomed to leading the charge himself, but this time he didn’t go first. After all, he didn’t have any melee weapons in hand and could only let Shantong’er and Xue Lin clear the way for him. No matter how brave he was, he was not a reckless fool.

Just as Shantong’er had cleared a path ahead of him, when he was about to turn around and mount his horse, one of the severely injured, moaning soldiers behind him suddenly jumped up. Picking up a broken spear lying on the ground, he thrust it ferociously towards Shantong’er’s back!

Xue Lin widened his eyes suddenly: "Shantong’er, watch out!"

He shouted while trying to spur his horse forward. Meanwhile, hearing Xue Lin’s shout, Shantong’er instinctively turned around, only to see the soldier roar, with the spearhead already pressing against his back!

Yu Wenye hurriedly reached back to pull an arrow from the arrow tube, but it was too late!

At this critical moment, a rider suddenly charged from the side, knocking the soldier and his spear aside, pushing him four to five zhang away, and flying out of the crowd!

A mourning cry was heard as the man fell heavily to the ground and instantly died.

"Are you alright?"

Shantong’er was still a bit confused, shivering slightly before looking up, only to meet a pair of blood-soaked, fierce tiger eyes.

It was Shen Tu Tai!

He had just been ordered to lead those two hundred men into the fray to clear the path for the heavy cavalry behind them, and afterwards, he led his men to charge along with Yu Wenye and others. Yet they were soon scattered as they were outnumbered.

Unexpectedly, they met again here.

Seeing Shantong’er still bewildered, he didn’t say much and continued to spur his horse forward, bending down to reach out to him while galloping. Shantong’er finally regained his senses, quickly extended his arm, and was pulled onto his horse by Shen Tu Tai.

Shen Tu Tai forcefully slapped his back: "What are you doing? At a time like this, how can you dismount?"

"...Uh."

Shantong’er was still a bit shaken, nodding woodenly, a cold sweat breaking out on him making him shiver.

At the same time, Shen Tu Tai turned back to Xue Lin and said: "We’ll open the way for King Qin, left and right!"

Experienced in battles, upon seeing these three people’s situation, he immediately knew that Shantong’er must have brought the Divine Arm Bow for Yu Wenye. However, in such an army with tens of thousands, the bow was no longer useful. Someone had to clear the path for him, and just Shantong’er and Xue Lin were not enough, so he immediately proposed a plan. Both Xue Lin and Shantong’er nodded quickly, and Yu Wenye finally caught his breath from the recent danger.

He said: "Be careful!"

Shen Tu Tai gave a light whistle and spurred his horse forward, with Xue Lin hurriedly following. The two riders once again charged towards the military formation ahead, this time, Xue Lin quickly became familiar with the weight and usage of the Mo Blade, using the armor on his body as cover to specially cut down cavalry charging at them, while Shen Tu Tai led Shantong’er wielding a pair of hammers, causing the ground to thunder as they charged into the infantry formation, sweeping a large open area as if sweeping the floor.

However, these open areas were all stained with blood step by step.

Taking advantage of the trio’s bravery, Yu Wenye held the reins in one hand and the massive, heavy Divine Arm Bow in the other, constantly scouring the terrified, chaotic human heads as blood mist rose ahead.

Still, he couldn’t find Xiao Yuansui’s Central Army Tent.

Earlier, there were other Xuanjia Army soldiers behind him, but this time, all the soldiers had scattered and the only ones ahead were Shen Tu Tai, Shantong’er, and Xue Lin. If the Central Army Tent couldn’t be found again...

Amid his unease, a glint of cold light suddenly appeared in his scanning eyes!

Yu Wenye abruptly raised his head, simultaneously tilting his body slightly to the left—

This was his instinct; his body’s movement occurred simultaneously with the appearance of the cold light. The next moment, Shen Tu Tai’s alarmed shout reached his ears: "Your Highness, be careful!"

Just hearing a "whoosh," an arrow grazed his chest!

The iron armor on his chest sparked with a faint streak, followed by a swift breeze that sent his hair flying beside his cheeks. Yu Wenye hurriedly turned his head, but before his eyes could follow the direction from which the cold light came, two more cold lights were shooting towards him.

At this moment, Shen Tu Tai and Shantong’er shouted simultaneously.

"Your Highness!"

"Watch out!"

However, right after their shouts echoed, Xue Lin’s low exclamation sounded from the other side: "Ah—!"

Yu Wenye looked up, only to see Xue Lin spurring his horse rapidly forward, forcefully slashing with the Mo Blade, cutting an arrow soaring towards him in mid-air; but this move exposed his side where the armor didn’t cover, and another arrow flew over and lodged itself directly into his left flank!

"Ugh!"

Xue Lin felt a sharp pain and his eyes went black, letting out a muffled groan as his body leaned over the horse’s back.

"Watch out!"

Shen Tu Tai hurriedly spurred his horse to rush forward, but the next moment, another arrow flew over.

Shantong’er shouted "Seventh Brother" and simultaneously pulled his arm back forcefully, causing the arrow to whistle in front of his eyes.

It missed!

Xue Lin’s eyes were red, one hand gripping the blade to support himself while the other held the reins, barely keeping him from falling off his horse, then he clenched his teeth and let out an angry roar, finally managing to pull himself back onto the horse’s back.

But with this exertion, his flank wound tore open, and blood immediately gushed out!

For a moment, the air was taut as if drawn to the extreme limit of a bowstring.

Yu Wenye also held his breath.

In just a brief moment, several arrows flew over; though the angles varied and the force wasn’t strong, each shot was lethal, evidently fired by the same person.

And to be able to shoot so many arrows in such a short time...
