C156 (1/2)
Helian Manqiu had heard the sound of such a bowstring before. After the five hundred stone strong bow was fully drawn, she let go of the bowstring and let go of the bowstring, making a sound as if she was fighting for her soul.
With a wave of his hand, he sent arrows flying towards Fu Mengxiong's arrows in an attempt to save the soldier.
One of the high-ranking officers next to her grabbed the reins of her warhorse and continued to gallop forward without looking back.
”Stop, stop!”
Helian Manqiu screamed as the officer jumped onto her horse. His powerful arms tightly embraced Helian Manqiu's slender waist. Like an iron hoop, he held Helian Manqiu tightly in his bosom. He urged his horse to gallop at full speed, not wanting to stop for even a second.
Behind him, the generals and soldiers used their own bodies to protect Helian Manqiu. Even if Fu Mengxiong were to shoot another arrow, he would not be able to harm Helian Manqiu.
Seeing those people from the military state fearlessly using their majestic and valiant bodies to protect their young general, Fu Mengtian's golden eyes slightly fluctuated as they flickered with a light that was deep and unfathomable, like that of a wild beast, causing one's heart to palpitate.
That young general was indeed well-loved and respected by the generals of the military region.
The sharp arrow shot out with an ear-piercing sound. The saber in the soldier's hand immediately fell to the ground. His hands were numb and numb, without even the slightest sensation. Dark red blood kept gushing out of his palm.
He could only maintain the posture of covering his chest with his arms. He raised his head and used a haughty expression, looking at Fu Mengtian, the number one warrior of the low and fresh clan.
The sharp arrow had pierced through his arm and directly pierced his chest. Helian Manqiu's sleeve arrow had only slightly obstructed the speed and strength of the arrow, but it was not of much use.
It pierced through his chest easily like piercing through a layer of paper. The only thing he could do was to try his best to turn his body and use his bones to hold the arrow in place of his body. It would not penetrate his body and would not cause any damage to the young general.
His body fell heavily to the ground. Dark red blood gushed out from his lips and chest like a spring. He closed his eyes. The sharp arrow was still inside his body, not injuring the young general.
A comforting smile appeared on his face. ”Your father's death is worth it!”
It was his honor to die in the hands of the number one warrior of the low and fresh clan!
The fine horses of his comrades dodged his fall, and no one bent down to look at him. No one thought that he would survive the arrow of Fu Mengtian, as it whizzed past him like the wind.
Someone was holding his horse by the hand and galloping along. He heard the sound of their hooves gradually receding, and he saw darkness in front of him. It was so cold, and he was about to die.
Could he still feel the pain of being trampled to pieces by the poor men who would come after him, trampling his bones with their horses' hooves and turning him into mincemeat?
He really wanted to have the strength to lift up his blade and give himself a quick death. He didn't have to wait so bitterly and helplessly for the sound of the barbarian's iron hooves crushing his bones.
Laugh, laugh again, he wanted to laugh out loud, he wanted to say to Fu Mengxiong, look, you, the number one warrior of the Freshmen, shot an arrow with a five-hundred stone bow, and you only shot me, a soldier of the unknown military state, and you didn't even have the chance to kill me.
Fu Mengzhong, your archery skills aren't anything at all. I'm not dead yet!
He could not say a word. Blood kept gushing out of his mouth and wound. As the blood flowed out, he felt that it was getting colder and colder. Life was leaving his body and his consciousness was becoming a bit blurry.
”Tap, tap, tap …”
The rapid sound of the hooves approached him. He could hear the sound of the bones being crushed by the iron hooves of the war horses.
”Let's see if he's dead. He didn't try his best to save him.”
A powerful voice echoed in his ears like a large bell, but he couldn't say a single word as he fainted.
”Young General, when you are safe, I will let you receive your punishment.”
The high-ranking officer who was embracing Helian Manqiu whispered a few words behind her back. He firmly refused to let her go, leading her all the way. Helian Manqiu's eyes slightly moistened. Suddenly, she thought of Mo Bai.
The man who had loved her for so many years had once used his chest, which was not too majestic, to block the enemy's bullets for her. However, the soldiers of the military state and the ordinary soldiers were not her lovers.
Even though they knew they were going to die, they did not hesitate. They bravely charged forward just to protect her from getting hurt.
Helian Manqiu glanced back as her ruthless eyes stared at Fu Mengxiong who was running over from afar. She then looked at the soldier who was lying on the ground.
She did not even see the soldier's face clearly, nor did she know his name!
”Let me go. I can ride a horse myself.”
”Young General, before you are safe, this lowly general will not leave your back.”
Helian Manqiu was speechless. She knew that this high-ranking officer behind her could do as he said and would absolutely not leave her back. He wanted to use his thick back to block the attacks of the inferior people behind her.
The pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer. Helian Man's delicate eyebrows slightly raised. She coldly looked back at Fu Mengxiong's blurry face and gradually became clear.
”Men, stop fighting with me!”
A lowly general said, and the horse slowed down.
”Don't stop, this is an order. Are you going to go against this general's order?”
