Chapter 455 I am Slightly Greater than The Stars in The Sky (1/2)

He looked at his 'mother' with his soulful eyes. She seemed touched when she was met with Shen Lian's star-like gaze.

Shen Lian's gaze filtered into the depths of her bier like starlight. Perhaps it was due to their mother-and-son bond, there was no barrier between the both of them. There seemed to be something unexplainable within her conscious.

The light in Shen Lian's eyes dimmed, and there appeared to be a gentle stream flowing into her gaze.

The female soldiers were attacking from both sides. Han Ying drew out a narrow and thin sword. She pierced into a female soldier's throat at a skillful angle.

Unfortunately, her opponents were not merely a single female soldier, but a troop of well-trained female soldiers.

The female soldiers seemed to be under a spell and were fearless. They charged with their long swords.

Han Ying felt herself weakening. The hand she used to hold the sword was trembling slightly. As she charged at a female soldier, she missed her mark by an inch.

Another female soldier attacked from the side. As she brandished her sword, she was ready to shave off half of her opponent's brain. She drew back her sword and was trying to pierce with her backhand. That was when she saw something she could never forget.

The lady that had an average physical capability caught a sharp arrow aimed at her and made her way out of a torrent of flying arrows.

She traveled along a crooked track and aimed at the female soldier's wrist.

The female soldier's wrist turned and pierced her comrade with her long sword.

There was a strange scene on the battlefield. A weak young lady who was carrying her baby was killing her way through the battlefield with a sharp arrow. She moved along crooked tracks and used strange moves. What was shocking was how each and every move was calculated to bring down at least one or two female soldiers.

With the help of the young lady, Han Ying was not under as much pressure. She only had to deal with the remaining female soldiers who were not within the young lady's reach.

Intentional or not, the young lady shifted the battlefield towards the direction of the city gate. Due to the presence of their comrades, the archers on top of the gate did not rain arrows on them. A troop of female soldiers lined up and they were getting down from the wall.

They feared her as she had single-handedly killed over twenty female soldiers.

At last, the young lady held Han Ying's hand. There was a layer of green light shrouding her, and together, they walked through the city gate.

Before she managed to inquire further, the young lady collapsed on her. A young voice spoke, ”Hurry up and leave.”

Han Ying did not have time to make out the source of the voice. Along with the mother and son, she leaped into the Hucheng River. Only then did the rain of arrows came, but the trios were far down the Hucheng River by then.

The mother and son were dragged out onto the shore. Shen Lian's mother was exhausted and had no strength left.

Han Ying saw the Eldest Young Lady carrying Shen Lian, who was completely drenched. She thought about how the water did not wash him away earlier, but the young child probably did not survive.

The moment she opened up the carrier, the baby crawled up and sat nakedly at the side. He was drenched and his eyes were dull. He spoke, ”Thank you for the hard work.”

Han Ying was a dark warrior trained personally by the Master of the city and had strong heart and mind. Even then, she was shocked.

She spoke, ”Is that you who is speaking?”

Shen Lian wrinkled his tiny face and tried to smile as bright as possible. He looked adorable, and he replied, ”If it is not me, who else could it be?”
