Vol 4 Chapter 15 (2/2)

As Li Dian stabbed at my chest, I turned and charged at Li Dian. In that instant, it felt like something tore my back but that did not stop my charge in the least.

Ya!!!!

“Ah… Ah!”

Perhaps she put all her strength into that stab or perhaps she was surprised by a sudden act from an amateur like me, Li Dian completely lost her balance from my body blow and landed on her back onto the ground.

“Ya!” I was about to swing my sword down but my arm stopped in mid-swing as the death throes I had been hearing up till now came back to me. This made me gave up my intent to kill, “Kuh…”

I swiftly stood up and used highly clumsy movement to mount the striped horse Li Dian was previously on and dug my heels in to make the horse gallop away.

I’d thought Li Dian would keep chasing after me but when I turned back to look, I saw that she stood motionlessly where she was as she looked at me but I could not see what expression she had on.

But never mind about that, what’s important is to find Yun Chang and Yi De… Eh?

I swung the horse’s reins fervently but the horse did not move as I commanded it to.

Eh?!!!

S-s-s-stop!

No, I have to get off. I need to find Yun Chang and Yi De…

But under these circ.u.mstances, I didn’t dare to throw myself off the horse and could only let it take me away. I swept my eyes across the battlefield but could not find either Yun Chang or Yi De.

What do I do now?!

It was now late at night and the heat from torches alit in every direction spread throughout my body.

But no one could tell me where to go, nor what to do.

Yun Chang POV

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

*Dun*! I stuck the Green Dragon Crescent Blade into the ground and used it to support my drained body.

I looked at the surroundings but it was alit with torches as always. I couldn’t find Yi De or Xuan De and it seemed like the few pockets of resistance had disappeared.

Aiya! I cried in my heart as I looked at the troops behind me who numbered less than a hundred.

If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have tried to fight the enemy on the highlands which had the geographical advantage.

I wiped the sweat ln my head and just then, the footsteps of 2 people approaching could be heard.

Again huh… Eh! I put strength into my grip and pulled out the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. I searched for the 2 figures with my hazy glance– It was Xu Huang and Xu Chu.

“Guan Yu has been waiting for you 2 for a while now.” I ruffled my messy hair and looked at the 2 of them who were also visibly tired.

This couldn’t be helped after all. They have tried to attack us from all directions 5 times now and I have exchanged almost 100 bouts with them. It wouldn’t be strange for them to be tired after all that.

Though it’s probably not my place to say that since this is probably…

“Lord Guan Yu, the 2 of us are here not to fight this time.” Xu Huang said with seriousness as she saluted me.

“Thank your lucky stars,” Xu Chu said with her sonorous voice, “Come down quickly, my lord wishes to see you! She has even allowed you to continue bearing arms!”

Un?

See me?
