Vol 5 Chapter 20 (2/2)

I bent my knees and gathered strength as I leapt out and lunged for Yan Liang with my sword aimed at her through.

My sword was deflected with a clatter by the glaive and the force of the attack knocked me aside several paces.

Yan Liang, you’ve been had!

“Ha!!” Hong suddenly appeared behind Yan Liang and roared our with fury, making Yan Liang frantic as she hurriedly leapt from her horse and dodge Hong’s attack by a hair’s breadth. Hong’s broadsword landed on the horse’s back and reached its heart, killing it instantly.

*Sou*– Yan Liang who had now regained her balance slashed at Hong with her glaive who dodged just barely in time and retreated to where I was.

“Haa… Haa… Haa…” Only now did I dare to relax a little and calm my breathing.

“Haa… Big sis, looks like we finally got her off her horse.” Hong was clearly exhausted. Just forcing Yan Liang off her horse required 30 minutes of attacks from both I and Hong.

Yan Liang, you’re far more formidable than I thought you were. Be it martial prowess or bravery, you are definitely one of the strongest generals in the world.

Perhaps she is just talented, or perhaps she seeks vengeance. But no matter what, I have to admit that I and Hong are not a match for Yan Liang.

“Hmph! Looks like you both are nothing much after all. Since your Grand Marshal flag is here, then one of you both must be Cao Cao!” Yan Liang smiled darkly, and readied her stance to attack, “I can’t tell who is Cao Cao, so I’ll just have to take both your heads!”

“!” As she finished, she lunged right for me before I could even react.

Ah! No!

*Clatter*– *Ding*!

Kuh! My sword’s been knocked away!

I hurriedly jumped back as I was disarmed.

Ah!

But who knew that I would land with one foot in a pothole, “Ah…” The world seemed to slow as I lost balance and fell, and in my eyes was that glaive swinging down at me.

“Ha!! Eat this blade from me, Cao Cap!” All of a sudden, an enraged bellow came from my left and a longsword stabbed at Yan Liang who turned her blade to block it.

I looked and saw that it was Hong who saved me.

But…

Cao… Cao…

“Cao Cao?!” Yan Liang asked the question I wanted to ask and before I could react, Yan Liang’s attention was all focused on Hong.

No!

“Cao Cao! Die!!” Flames erupted in Yan Liang’s eyes as she slashed down at Hong, who was impersonating me.
