Chapter 5 – Live Together Die Together

Letting out a long laughter, Li Yuanji said, “How did the Sudden Thrust [lit returning horse spear] style taste like?”

The spear swiftly swept across Kou Zhong

Thisalmost wanted to pull Li Yuanji into his eratitude and tears of love

It could be said that Li Yuanji’s divine-dragon-swings-its-tail Sudden Thrust battle tactic was the consu’s natural nemesis, because the spear technique that relied es between hit and run was very difficult for Kou Zhong penetrate, so that he was at his wits’ end The worst thing was that this kind of battle substantially consu offensive He had no choice but to continue pursuing and attacking After more than a dozen circles, he knew that he could not hold onhith counterattack It was just like a sweet nectar after a long drought, so how could he not feel like he e favor

Naturally he knew that Li Yuanji wanted to entangle hi over reinforceh ti and Tuli rose up The men on Li Yuanji’s side also drew near to the arena The situation immediately tensed up like a taut bow As soon as the two conal, it would become a free-for-all battle between the two sides

‘Dang!’

Kou Zhong and Li Yuanji brushed past each other in a stake-it-all move Sparks flew everywhere, the explosive sound shook the arena

Cloud of dust arose on the official road, nearly twenty riders were co the heart and the soul

Kou Zhong’s heroic laughter shook the heavens Li Nantian and the others were stupefied The saber light rose dramatically With a spin of his body, at the speed that was hard to believe, Kou Zhong’s saber hacked down on Li Yuanji, whose face revealed a shocked expression

Except for Xu Ziling, nobody around the arena had any clue on how the change happened; even Li Yuanji himself was unclear The mo’s originally a thousand-catty heavy saber force suddenly becath at all By the ti’s Moon in the Well already chopped down on his head, biting-cold saber qi assaulted his face

It was basically an impossibility, yet it had become an unshakeable fact before his very eyes

In this critical moment, Li Yuanji demonstrated his real skill With the spear technique that had undergone nu a thousand ha metal)], he simply raised the spear to ’s sure-kill saber strike

‘Boom!’

A deep sound like a ainst each other reverberated across the entire relay station Li Yuanji was jolted by the iround, but he continued rolling away It appeared to be an extremely cowardly act, but the fact was that it was the only way to neutralize Kou Zhong’s irresistible saber power

Kou Zhong cried ‘what a pity’ inwardly Such a deflecting-force, borrowing-energy technique still failed tohalf athis saber strike, Li Yuanji shouldn’t be able to show off and fight for several days, otherwise, it would be Kou Zhong’s turn to worry whether he would be able to break the siege and flee for his life

Li Nantian and the others immediately drew their weapons Half of them pounced on him, while the other half rushed toward Li Yuanji to protect hi would continue to kill hi was like an arrow at the end of its flight Laughing aloud, he rose up and fleard Xu Ziling and Tuli

This moment the riders had just entered the relay station While they had not fully understood the situation, Kou Zhong already ether they ran toward the forest behind the relay station and disappeared froht

The three stopped by a sle southwest of Hannan city; they sat down to rest, scooped the water and drank

They were still undecided whether they should enter the city or not Xu Ziling jumped down froht Shouldn’t we io up north to Luoyang?”

Kou Zhong, as having his face immersed in the stream, mumbled, “Khan is quite familiar with the hawks, it would be best for hiainst a tree trunk; he said, “If the hawk found us, our tracks would no longer be hidden; therefore, it is quite dangerous to go up north Only by going into a highly populated big city like Hannan e be able to easily throw off that eye in the sky”

Kou Zhong walked back to the other two and sat down He said dejectedly, “I’ve never expected that Li Yuanji would be that formidable; he nearly took my little life”

Astonished, Tuli asked, “Didn’t Shao Shuai beat hiround? Why did you say such thing?”

S replied, “Khan did not know it, but reat deal of luck After this, after Li Yuanji has tiain, I es like this time No wonder people say that Li Yuanji is the Li Clan’s number one martial art master He absolutely does not have undeserved reputation”

Muttering to hi said, “Khan is also an expert in using spear What do you think of Li Yuanji’s spear technique?”

Tuli stared blankly in deep thought for a , I have never thought someone could use a spear with divine skill like Li Yuanji Particularly the last Sudden Thrust style tactic; it gavedefense for offense”

Xu Ziling said, “The length of the spear itself has the ing the spear and turning around the battle could even display this advantage to extre Shao was not eager to kill him, he would not have fallen into that kind of no-roo revealed a look as if his being was deep in thought, and that he had deep understanding

Xu Ziling asked again, “Does Khan knoere those people who rushed over later?”

Tuli replied, “I do not dare to say for certain, but the leader rather looked like the young Paizhu of Nanhai Pai, the ‘Golden Spear’ Mei Xun Ha! All spear experts inside and outside Central Plains, north and south, suddenly co said, “Add Kang Qiaoli to that bunch, it could be said that our ene force with force, it will be a dead end for us; escaping, we are afraid of the hawk’s sharp eyes On top of that, there’s Yun Shuai and Zhu Can’s numerous troops We are currently surrounded by the eneo, we are subjected to the ene Yun Shuai’s falcon sees the men from Li Yuanji’s side, will it be able to report to its oing around to intercept us, or perhaps they appear near us, the falcon will only treat thesaid, “assu the men on Yun Shuai’s side do not know the existence of Li Yuanji’s troops, we still have a chance to exploit thereatly roused, they asked, “Hoill the plan be executed?”

Xu Ziling analyzed cal over froion has cities and towns that are neutral, and all of theive his Li Family a little bit of face Therefore, if we enter the city, we ht into the trap But as soon as we are within any area that set itself against the Li Fae without any scruple, presuht like he did today; even if he wanted to deal with things one by one, hethat I want to see thein the sky”

The twospoke heavily, “Are you suggesting that we go west to Zhu Can’s old lair, Guanjun City?”
