One of the eneroup of soldiers ran after the, where can you run!”
Xiang Shaolong took a look at the surroundings only to see that only less than a hundred of his personal guards are left and the forests around theht He has no idea how many more enemies are out there
Now that the eneht onto him, it’ll be difficult for him to avoid them in this situation Just as he was about to turn back and avenge Zhou Liang right before he died, there was a shrill screech as Eagle King swooped down froeneral, its sharp beaks pecking at that general’s eyes madly
The Zhao general let out a frightening screarabbed Eagle King with his hands and both bird and human fell off the horse
Because their general hasarmy was sudden thrown into sudden chaos
Xiang Shaolong knows that the Zhao general and Eagle King is as good as dead and felt that this opportunity should not be ive chase
He has just gone out about seven to eight feet when about a dozen Zhao soldiers ca their spears as they yelled and stabbed madly at their horses
His personal guards on the left and right fell, becoet of massacre for the enemy
At this point in ti Wind executed its extraordinary ability and could actually suddenly pick up speed and dash out of the encircle felt that he is all alone
Hot blood coursed through Xiang Shaolong’s veins as hts welled up in him He killed his way past the dozen odd Zhao soldiers ere charging from the left
Luckily in this dense forest, arrows are of not ht before he’s taken down by arrows
Cries and screams surrounded him, the atmosphere was extremely bleak
Fro leaned on one side of Strong Wind as he charged into the ene towards the opposing soldiers
His target is the one right in front holding the torch and illuonally at that person’s shoulder and fresh blood spewed immediately as he fell off his horse
The torch fell to the grass and i

By now the eneh there are still skire the situation at hand
A feeling of fatigue welled up in Xiang Shaolong
Witnessing the death of Zhou Liang and so ht that he will not live alone He gritted his teeth, turned his horse around as he ran back towards where the battle cries are the loudest In a short instant he is out of the woods into the open plains
Aroup of a few hundred Qin soldiers were right in front, surrounded by thousands of ene to their last breath
Fury welled up in Xiang Shaolong as the o all the way out, slashi+ng anyone in his way The enemies who met him only ended up dead in an instant
The Qin army saw that their Coreatly boosted Following in his bravado, they actually ht their way out of the enemy’s encirclement and ran towards a small hill up ahead
Just as war cries were rising behind them, the small hill up ahead were suddenly lit with hundreds of torches
Countless Zhao soldiers swar weapons for long distance fighting, which are precisely the weapons that are the bane to cavalry like Xiang Shaolong and his men
Xiang Shaolong secretly sighed, knowing that Li Mu has covered all bases in his plan and have set up one obstacle after another in the woods long ago with the sole goal of apprehending and killing him
By this time anyone would know that it is over for the foe his orders, half of histowards the two sides
Xiang Shaolong could not stop them in time but knows in his heart that the ene them to run towards the south
Suddenly, he knows very clearly that as long as they can charge their way up to the top of the hill, there’ll be a chance where they can escape into the hilly terrain and extricate theer
By now there are only 50 odd men by his side He immediately shouted, “If you want to live then come with me!”
He kept Hundred Battles Blade back into its sheath on his back and pulled out the flying needles around his waist as he clasped the horse with his thighs and charged, both his hands continuously throwing out needles The eneround as they were hit by the needles

As he waved his precious blade, screaht filled the ground
Without even looking, Xiang Shaolong slashed behind hi up on him from the back
In front of hiht at Strong Wind’s neck
Xiang Shaolong had no choice but to throw his precious blade and airound
He felt a sudden heart-rending pain behind his shoulder blade, so had struck him
Xiang Shaolong was in so uards risked their lives to charge their way to him and cover him
Xiang Shaolong was thinking to himself that this is the end
In that instant, he thought of his beloved wives and concubines far away in Xianyang, and also thought of Lady Ni, Zhao Ya, Zhao Qian and countless people and incidents
Just at thisleft and right as it kept increasing its speed and ran
The battle cries were gradually getting fainter behind him
Darkness was surrounding him
He held Stong Wind’s neck in a death grip, feeling as one with his horse He consciousness gradually faded and he finally lost all senses
He regained consciousness slowly and suddenly woke up in shock, only to feel his entire body racked with pain and felt extreme thirst
He can’t help but groan and open his eyes
The autu in the middle of the empty sky
For a briefhave no idea where he is, he’s also not sure what had actually happened
He sat up withWind collapsed on its side a few feet away, it’s neck twisted in an unnatural position, it’s nose and mouth filled with foamy fluids which had solidified
Xiang Shaolong felt his whole body shaking as he finally reht before he fainted
Strong Wind had carried him and escaped from the battlefield and sacrificed its own life in order to save his
Ever since Ji Yanran gave hi Wind than with any of his beloved ladies
It’s loyalty to hied and reduced at all
Xiang Shaolong can no longer control his e Wind’s body and cried manly tears!
He has lost

That’s not because he has planned poorly, but because Li Mu is too smart
Now his only hope is that he has successfully hindered Li Mu fro before they can reach Zhongmou, otherwise their decoy troops that wasHandan will be totally wiped out
Luckily this ti Yi who is capable of handling any situation
If it was Jing Jun, he’ll definitely turn back to save them and it would be akin to suicide
