Vol 4 Chapter 30 (2/2)

“My lord, be careful of stray arrows. Don’t advance too much.” I and Zi Long had charged into the enemy formation but Zi Long was standing in front of me to protect me.

Zi Long roared and swept out her silver spear, knocking aside several Cao troops that had charged at us like autumn leaves.

It was a simple movement but I could tell that there was much blood, sweat and tears that went into much practice for this move to be perfected.

I’m not sure if I’m used to scenes of slaughter but the fear and terror in my mind has been completely suppressed.

“Zi Long, where did you learn your martial arts?!”

“From my master,” Zi Long said as she swung out her silver spear in a single, slick movement, “My master is Tong Yuan, and is quite renowned for his mastery in martial arts.”

(TL: I don’t know much about Tong Yuan, but he was supposedly also master to Zhang Ren and Zhang Xiu.)

Tong Yuan… That name sounds familiar…

*Dong*!!!

Just as I was somewhat relaxed, a loud bang shook me to the bones.

What was that?

“Be careful, my lord. The one who made that sound cannot be someone ordinary.” Zi Long went on high alert and readied her stance.

*Neigh*~~~~~~~

“What!”

In the next instant, a loud cry from a horse tore through the noises and 50 paces away, a warrior appeared. Before we could catch a good glimpse of the warrior, the scent of danger was headed right for us.

*Dong*!!!

Another sound… Looks like it’s the sound of the warrior landing.

And immediately after that sound, many soldiers from in front were hurled up to the sky while even more retreated,

“Don’t retreat! Don’t turn back!” Zi Long yelled out but they wouldn’t listen, “Kuh, it’s difficult to give orders to troops that aren’t ours to begin with as expected!”

No, even if they were our own troops, I feel that it would be difficult to get them to obey orders when they are this affected by fear.

I myself was unable to do anything at this tumultuous scene before me. All I could do was watch as it unfolded before me. But for some reason, a familiar figure came to mind.

*Neigh*~~~~~

Another neigh…

“Be careful, my lord, that person is coming!” Just as Zi Long finished her words, it felt like the sky above me became dark in an instant. I raised my head to take a look and saw a large, chestnut-red horse cover the sun. In the blink of an eye, that person was now behind me.

“Ya!” Zi Long saw an opening and seized the chance to stab.

The stab was fast as lightning, but with the sound of a clear and crisp ring, it was blocked by that person, who gave a ‘hmph!’ before swatting away Zi Long’s silver spear, forcing Zi Long to step back.

At this moment, that person stood still. What filled my eyes was that person’s weapon which I could see clearly now– It was a double-sided halberd.

“Let me ask you,” Just then, that person began to speak, “Are you the commander for this…”

She stopped mid-sentence and I raised my head to look at the owner of the voice instinctively.

She was wearing a set of glorious coat armour, and had a stern look on her face. She had a domineering aura, but this did not detract her marvellous beauty in the least. Her deep eyes had a razor sharp glance as always, but it was at odds with the look of surprise she had on now.

“Xuan De!?”

“Feng Xian!!”

In the next instant, we both blurted each other’s names.
