VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 34: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS RIDING AS 3 FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES (11)

Yun Chang POV

In a head on duel, a shorter weapon is usually at a disadvantage vs a longer weapon. The only way to match up to a longer weapon is weapon mastery and use the other side’s power advantage against them.

Or totally suppress the other side with short spear techniques.

“… Un! … Un!” Instead of yelling, Liao Hua would grunt with every attack.

I would dodge every attack only to be met with another immediately.

*Ding*! *Ding*!

I had no choice but to block her attacks but Liao Hua was always able to ready herself for the next attack with her lighter spear before me.

*Ding*! *Ding*!

I must say, this Liao Hua girl is a master of the short spear. Every move and technique doesn’t seem formulaic at all, yet every attack is aimed for a vital point. I can’t afford to underestimate her at all.

“Such martial prowess is wasted for a Yellow Turban commander!” I tried to bring across my respect in words between attacks in the hopes of turning her around.

“I’m not anyone important. Where ever I go, I’ll only just be an ordinary person. — Un!” She replied without halting her attacks.

“In troubled times, one can’t just claim to be an ordinary person and live on like that!”

“I’ll give you the words I live by, those who should live won’t die.”

(TL: It sounds just as stupid in Chinese, if that matters.)

*Ding*! *Ding*! *Ding*!

She frowned, perhaps because she felt that I had begun the conversation because I was underestimating her martial prowess, and began to use even smoother and faster attacks.

This really was problematic. I didn’t have the intention of underestimating her to begin with. Well then, time to end this.

*Ding*!

She attacked with her short spear again and I blocked it with the hilt of my blade. She then did what she had been doing before and tried to pull back and attack again, this was the chance that I had been waiting for–

“Ha!” I put all my strength behind an attack aimed at her short spear and pushed forward before she could withdraw.

“Wu!” She didn’t know how to react and could only tussle with me but she was clearly my inferior in terms of raw strength.

*Neigh*~~~ A shrill horse neigh pierced the air as Liao Hua and her horse fell to the ground from my forceful push.

“Uwaa! Kuh!” Liao Hua cried out when she landed on the ground and frantically tried to get up immediately but the horse had fallen onto her right leg so she was unable to get out.

Compared to her, I calmly swung my blade at the surrounding troops so they wouldn’t get involved and rode over to where Liao Hua was.

“…” When she saw that she had no way to get out, Liao Hua gave up and closed her eyes as she lay back.

“Why won’t you resist?”
