The sounds of swords unsheathing rang. Huo Ma Er’s subordinates did not look like any regular army, but they displayed the essence of drill trainings. They urged their horses, spacing out between themselves, all of their expressions stern.

“Seize the hillside in front of us.”

Huo Ma Er took the lead going forward. In front of them was a hill with a gradual slope, with grass grown all over. The enemies movements were coming from the other side of the hillside. If the enemies held the high ground, then they would have lost the favorable advantage.

Huo Ma Er’s subordinates trusted her completely, hearing the order, all of them shot out like arrows, and rushed to the top of the hillside.

Tang Tian and gang looked at each other. Were they supposed to chase along with them?

For the past few days, they had travelled day and night, rushing forward at high speed. As long as martial artists did not care about the exhaustion of True Power, and used all their might to rush forward, their speed far exceeded carriages. The strong points of carriages were that they were durable and lasting, and could fly consecutively for months.

If the enemies lying in wait and ambush were so fast, which meant they had strong people under them, to Tang Tian and gang, it was bad news.

Tang Tian, Ling Xu and Crane immediately rushed up the hillside.

Going up the hillside, the view before them expanded out. They saw a group of roughly 100horsemen rushing towards them, with the distance between them less than 200 steps.

Looking at them, Tang Tian felt that those were not the enemies chasing after them, and the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.

“Kill!”

Huo Ma Er’s powerful shout sounded out.She was the one in the lead, like a blazing fireball, dauntlessly rushing towards the opposite calvary. The subordinates by her side all shouted out weird gibberish, and without hesitation, they all assaulted downwards.

“Such a fierce girl!” Ling Xu exclaimed.

Tang Tian and Crane had the same feeling. The enemies numbered five times more than hers, but they did not even frown and directly went to assault. That was too fearsome!

Huo Ma Er blazed up with a red light aura, enveloping the horse together with her. Her horse was obviously not a normal horse, its speed was as quick as lightning. Compared to Ling Xu’s Flamingo, it was not inferior in any aspect.

Huo Ma Er borrowed the force. Wielding a machete in her hands, a ray of hot red blade aura whistled right into the enemy.

Three enemies did not dodge in time, fresh blood spurting out, their wails screamed out as they dropped off their horses.

Both sides were fast. As Huo Ma Er released that blade, she rushed into the enemy. Her machete skills were weird but swift, releasing techniques upon techniques. With crescent blade auras releasing out into the sky, a person would inevitably drop with every blade.

“So strong!” Crane growled, “She should be at least as strong as people in the Heavens Road List reserve.”

“So powerful!” Tang Tian was surprised, it was his first time meeting a strong woman. “Her blade techniques are strong, and the release of her techniques are so fast, Little Xu Xu, are you faster or is she faster?”

Ling Xu snorted, “She is not worthy to be my opponent.”

That arrogant speech was something everyone expected out from Ling Xu.

Every sweep of Huo Ma Er boosted the morale of her subordinates, making them become more fearless. Seeing that the opponent’s formation was being pushed into confusion, Huo Ma Er thought that by adding more power, the opponent would be thoroughly defeated.

The enemy troops became very messy, and ownerless horses were rampant everywhere. The horses were expensive and valuable resources, so no one would rashly kill them.

Huo Ma Er noticed that the enemy troops had a strong statured man who used an extremely heavy mace. He had already injured three of her men. Killing intent rose in Huo Ma Er’s eyes. Urging her horse,leaning forward, the machete in her hand naturally hung down, like a willow leaf drifting in the wind, she ran with an unspeakable rhythm.

Her speed was extremely fast, like red-colored lightning. The moment she had rushed to the front of the big-statured man, the machete in her hand trembled. A cold blade aura aimed straight for the big-statured man’s face.

The mace instantly flew up and welcomed the blade aura, and the big statured man suddenly exposed a smile.

Huo Ma Er’s pupils constricted. Not good!

Chi!

A fine thorn sword had pierced into her horse’s belly without a sound, and the deadly sharp sword aura suddenly impaled the horse’s body. A short and small vague figure suddenly scuttled out from the big statured man horse’s stomach, and stuck into Huo Ma Er’s horse stomach instead.

Huo Ma Er did not make it in time to block. A thick thumb-sized blue sword aura pierced into her left shoulder, bringing forth fresh blood, but disappearing right after it pierced a hole.

The mace of the big statured man swept towards her.

Huo Ma Er only felt as if she had banged into a strong wall, groaned once and instantly flew out.

Even before she had the chance to land on the ground, a blue cold aura appeared in front of her eyes. It had the shape of some kind of monster, taking the chance to get closer to her.

She became like ice, as her blood almost froze.

She realized who this assassin was – Yan Jiu Zhi!

With Yan Jiu Zhi’s strength, she realized that she was going to be defeated, and despair crept into her eyes.

Suddenly, a dazzling sparkle that looked like fire arrows suddenly rushed into her vision. This wave of sparkles struck directly onto the blue sword aura and exploded out.

Huo Ma Er barely escaped from death, and in a panicked state, she subconsciously pulled back to keep a distance.

After retreating a few metres, she then saw clearly that Tang Tian was standing in front of her.

This fellow… can actually block Yan Jiu Zhi’s sword!

Tang Tian bellowed, “Hey, you can’t kill her, and I don’t wish to kill you. Get lost! I don’t want to make things difficult for you all.”
