Chapter 573 (1/2)
Slaughter (3)
No one knew about this, not even Li Yue noticed. Although she was suspicious, she felt like Ye Lang might not care that much. If he did, why would he only save her when she was one step away from death?
Li Yue felt like if she were someone else, for example Zhen Xiaoyan, Ye Lang would not even let Xiaoyan get a scratch and treat her like how he treated himself.
“I know, I don’t need you to remind me!” she said coldly, then suddenly disappeared. The next second, she was already among the ranks of the battalion, unleashing her wrath once again.
The way her sword reflected light, coupled with her movements, looked like shooting stars. This wasn’t just one meteor, it was a meteor shower!
Every time there was a flash, someone would collapse in a pool of blood. Most would never get back up forever but some lived if they were lucky.
“!!”
The general did not expect Li Yue to attack first, or rush directly into their ranks and start her slaughter. However, he could understand her decision because she had the advantage of a surprise attack. If she did not do this, she would be at a disadvantage.
With Li Yue’s infiltration, the army started to sink into chaos. When they saw their men collapse one by one, and they realised they could not even see their enemy clearly, they started to grow increasingly nervous.
“Ahh…”
“Ahh…”
Cries of agony echoed one by one, sometimes from two spots far form each other. This made them even more confused. Where was she?!
It was too difficult to find her amongst five thousand people, plus this lady kept moving like a shadow. It was impossible!
Li Yue was not concerned at all. She was working alone so she did not care who was in front of her-- all she had to do was kill. The scales were tipped in an odd direction.
The ratio was five thousand to one, and yet the ‘one’ was killing them off like flies! They had no defences at all!
If this continued, they would be in deep trouble. They had to think of a way to turn the tables, they couldn’t let her kill their brothers like that.
“Array formation! Disperse!” roared the general. They were already prepared for something like this. Although this weakened their offensive abilities, it functioned to catch an enemy within their ranks.
With the shout, five thousand people dispersed in a very short time. Every person was at least five feet away from the other. And just like that, Li Yue was unable to hide in the crowd.
They could see her now!
“First row, spear attack! Last row, forward! …”
The general yelled orders one by one. The Grey Wolf battalion was an elite team, their responses were impeccable so this was very dangerous for Li Yue.
They were quick too!
“Hmmph!”
Li Yue huffed coldly, dodging the long spears gracefully. There were spears thrust at her from all directions, as dense as rain.
