297: "Longevity of Heaven and Earth"

The Squad Leader charged forward, long spear in hand!

The whistling wind swept past his ears, as his warhorse charged with all its might!

If this strike connected, the Xiongnu Scout before him would surely die!

But facing the furious warhorse and the chilling spear, the Xiongnu Scout showed no reaction, still charging forward.

It wasn't until the long spear was about to pierce his body, at the very moment the Squad Leader thought the Xiongnu Scout was about to die, that the Xiongnu Scout suddenly moved!

The Xiongnu Scout twisted his body like a phantom, arching backward to narrowly dodge the spear tip, his back pressed against the warhorse as the long spear grazed past his eyes!

The Squad Leader was greatly astonished at this moment; as the saying goes, 'a long inch is a strong inch,' but length also sacrifices some flexibility. In that instant, the Squad Leader couldn't change the direction of his long spear and could only watch helplessly as the Xiongnu Scout dodged.

This wasn't all; more importantly, the Xiongnu Scout's scimitar in his left hand was silently attacking him!

In his haste, he gripped the spear with both hands and pressed the shaft down forcefully to block this phantom-like strike!

“Bang!”

He barely blocked this fatal blow, and just as a sense of surviving a catastrophe washed over him, a sharp pain shot through his back.

“It's over!” This was his last thought before he fell straight off his horse!

“Squad Leader!”

“Squad Leader!”

The White Horse Camp scouts behind him shouted, unable to believe what they were seeing!

The Squad Leader, who always led them in charges, had died just like that?

But now was not the time for sorrow, because the Xiongnu Scout had already brushed past the Squad Leader and reappeared before them, re-mounted on a warhorse!

“Avenge the Squad Leader!” everyone shouted in unison, charging forward with all their might!

The moment the two sides met, the Xiongnu Scout's scimitar slashed across the throat of a White Horse Camp scout, blood splattering onto the grass, while the White Horse Camp scout on his warhorse clutched his throat with eyes full of fear, ultimately falling off his horse!

“Little Seven!” someone cried out anxiously!

The Xiongnu Scout was expressionless, for at this moment, everyone had formed a circle around him, and long spears were attacking from all sides!

The charge of long spears during a warhorse's gallop was incredibly powerful; even if the Xiongnu Scout's swordsmanship was elusive, he found it difficult to resist.

Facing these continuous long spears, the Xiongnu Scout finally understood what it meant for two fists to be no match for four hands!

Seeing this, he could only flip over and press himself against the horse's belly. This way, being beneath the warhorse, he could perfectly avoid the impenetrable attacks from above the warhorse!

Just as everyone stared dumbfounded at this strange posture, Xia Tianyi, before his long spear had fully extended, adjusted its direction in time and thrust it directly at the warhorse's head!

The immense impact caused the long spear to snap with a crack!

And the warhorse crashed to the ground!

Everyone scattered to the sides in unspoken coordination, and Houzi couldn't help but laugh loudly, “Well done!”

On this plain, a Xiongnu Scout without a warhorse was merely a plaything for their cavalry to entertain themselves with!

Because few people could withstand the impact of a warhorse! If the person on the ground hesitated even slightly, countless warhorses would charge into him one after another, and at the moment he fell, his fate would be nothing but a puddle of mud!

This Xiongnu Scout, whose superb horsemanship and elusive swordsmanship had put them under immense pressure, had finally lost his threat!

“Where is he?”

Suddenly someone shouted. At this moment, the warhorse lay on its side on the ground, but the Xiongnu Scout, who should have been down, was nowhere to be seen!

Everyone's heart sank with a 'thump' at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads; he wasn't dead!

This one Xiongnu Scout had already killed seven of their brothers; his strength was definitely at the level of an Initial-stage Martial General, and they had thought they could finally relax. But now, with no sign of him alive or dead, a huge sense of crisis silently crept in, chilling them to the bone!

He truly was a lingering spirit!

Just as everyone was searching around, with a “swish,” a black shadow flashed by!

“There!” someone shouted, looking in the direction of that person’s gaze!

And Xia Tianyi was now sweating profusely, because that Xiongnu Scout was right behind him!

As he was searching just now, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash by, then he felt the warhorse tremble and lower a bit, and then he was tightly choked from behind. Immediately after, a cold, gleaming blade flashed before his eyes, and the target of that scimitar was his throat!

He subconsciously raised his long spear to desperately block!

The sharp blade of the scimitar was lodged on the long spear. He used all his strength, his arms trembling, but the scimitar still slowly approached him. A small cut had already appeared on his neck, and blood was flowing down.

He felt his breathing becoming increasingly difficult; the thick arm of the person behind him choked him tightly, making him about to lose his ability to move!

And the scimitar in that person's right hand would cut his throat the next moment; he seemed to see his end a moment later!

Can't wait any longer!

He thought so.

The Xiongnu Scout was also not feeling well at this moment. He had escaped the moment the warhorse fell to the ground. Although he wasn't crushed under the horse, he had also crashed hard into the ground, and that feeling was not pleasant either!

He was also using all his strength at this moment, choking the Qin Army scout in front of him with his left hand, and thrusting the knife towards his neck with his right hand. He knew that the Qin Army scout in front of him would soon die!

But if it weren't for his impaired strength, he could have finished off the man in front of him with one strike the moment he got on the horse!

But now that his strength was impaired, there was no room for recovery, so he didn't have too much hope for his success in escaping later.

“Ugh…”

The Xiongnu Scout suddenly froze, a chill suddenly came over him, and then he felt his strength slowly disappearing. The scimitar in his hand finally fell silently to the ground.

He looked down and saw blood slowly flowing from his stomach, and the long sword stuck in his stomach had emerged from the body of the man in front of him!

He looked at the man in front of him with disbelief in his eyes. He couldn't understand why the Qin Army scout would use such a life-for-life tactic!

And Xia Tianyi's face was also incredibly pale at this moment. He didn't know the condition of the Xiongnu Scout behind him; whether he was alive or dead, he wasn't sure. He only knew that if he didn't use this 'Heaven and Earth Together' move, he would die.

Then he had to take away this biggest threat before he died, otherwise many more of his brothers would die!

But as the deadly scimitar in front of him fell to the ground, and the arm tightly choking his neck loosened, it seemed to be a good sign.

He gasped for breath, then suddenly pulled out his qin sword. The pain, unlike anything he had ever experienced in his life, made his vision go black, almost causing him to faint.

He gritted his teeth, forced himself to stay conscious, then with difficulty twisted his body. Seeing the Xiongnu Scout's face equally pale as paper, he knew he had succeeded.

But he still gripped the qin sword with effort, preparing to stab the Xiongnu Scout fiercely.

If he didn't die before him, he wouldn't rest in peace even as a ghost!

“Don't kill me, I am…” the Xiongnu Scout said with difficulty. He knew that if he didn't speak now, he would never be able to.

“Puff!”

Xia Tianyi fiercely stabbed the qin sword into his body until he was completely dead!

“So you can be afraid too,” Xia Tianyi said faintly, looking at the Xiongnu Scout who had fallen to the ground.

The Xiongnu Scout, who had killed seven of his brothers without batting an eye, was actually afraid before he died.

He gave a self-deprecating laugh, then his vision went black and he also fell off his horse.

“Tianyi!”

“Tianyi!” everyone shouted. Houzi had already rushed towards him, finally reaching his side the moment he fell off his horse. He jumped off his warhorse, stumbled twice, then reached out and caught him, then, seeing his shocking wounds, he frantically searched for trauma medicine!

His hands trembled violently. The medicine he usually wouldn't spare even when he himself was injured, he now sprinkled onto Xia Tianyi's wounds as if it were worthless.

“Ugh…” The pain brought Xia Tianyi back to consciousness. Houzi, overjoyed, immediately hoisted him onto his back and galloped furiously towards the rear.

“Hold on! You must hold on!

That leading Xiongnu Soldiers is at least an Initial-stage Martial General, and a Mid-Level Military General is not impossible. Your military achievements this time are too great, it would be too much of a loss if you died!” Houzi rode like a madman, his mouth never stopping, afraid that he would fall asleep.

“Stay awake!” Houzi grew more anxious when he heard no reply.

“Ugh…”

“Yes, don't sleep! Absolutely don't sleep. This time the Squad Leader unfortunately died in battle. If you survive, you might very well become the Squad Leader!

Don't you want to be a general? If you close your eyes now, you'll have nothing!” Houzi dared not stop talking for a moment.

“You're still young. Becoming a Squad Leader is just the beginning. In the future, I'll be relying on you to look out for me!

You can't let anything happen to you!”
