But he also knew that at this mont, he had to force himself.
Thinking of this, Yu Wenye took a deep breath and shook the reins. The steed beneath him imdiately perked up, shaking its head vigorously, and strode out of the city gate with its head held high.
The Fufeng Soldiers followed the General out of the city, forming a neat formation, step by step moving forward.
Shortly after, they had already reached the front of the Longxi Army.
At this mont, Xue Xian shook the reins and his steed took two steps forward. His figure, as robust as a mountain, blocked most of the sunlight behind him, exuding an even stronger and indestructible aura.
He sneered, "Yu Wenye, you’ve finally reappeared."
Yu Wenye remained calm and simply said, "Oh, have you been wanting to see ?"
"Of course,"
Xue Xian said, raising his head to look behind him. Although they were far from the city wall and Xue Xian could hardly see the people on it, he clearly saw a slender figure standing on the city wall, dazzling under the golden light of the setting sun. Then he sneered again, saying, "I can’t just keep entangling with a woman."
"..."
"Fufeng can’t always rely on a woman to guard it."
Yu Wenye’s brow furrowed slightly.
And the squad of soldiers behind Xue Xian imdiately burst into laughter, saying, "We would never let won onto the battlefield."
"If won are fighting, what are n doing?"
"n, maybe they’ve gone soft..."
Seeing them becoming more and more arrogant, laughing boastfully one after another, Mu Xian, Cheng Qiao, and the others behind couldn’t help getting furious, gripping their swords tightly, eager to charge in imdiately.
At this mont, Yu Wenye also sneered.
He said, "Indeed."
"..."
"Fufeng can’t always let my wife defend it."
"..."
"Otherwise, if she sets a fire again, I’m afraid the Longxi Army will be burnt to ashes!"
Although his vitality hadn’t recovered, and his breath was sowhat unstable at this mont, his thick and steadfast voice was still as loud as ever, echoing far away.
Hearing these words, both Xue Xian and the soldiers behind him imdiately changed their expressions.
True, they intended to humiliate Yu Wenye and the Fufeng Soldiers behind him, mocking them for being useless as n, relying on a woman to guard the city, which was indeed a fact; but the other side of the fact was also—despite being a woman, she defeated them and annihilated more than a hundred thousand of their troops in one battle!
She not only defeated them but also avenged the previous massacre of eighty thousand Fufeng Soldiers by Xue Xian, with interest!
In the face of absolute strength and factual victories, all the clamor and ridicule seed insignificant!
Xue Xian was infuriated by this fact; once again, he raised his head, looking toward the distant city wall, that slender figure like a needle pricking his eyes. Xue Xian burst into fury, suddenly shouting angrily.
"Ah——"
Then, wielding his long blade, he spurred his horse into charge.
With his move, the squad of soldiers behind him imdiately followed suit, charging forward, raising a huge cloud of dust that blocked the slanted setting sun behind them.
Yu Wenye’s eyes sharpened, gripping his sword hilt: "Charge!"
As he finished speaking, he shot out like an arrow loosed from the string. His Mo Blade raised, reflecting a blinding golden light through the gaps in the dust, slashing across Xue Xian’s eyes.
Xue Xian narrowed his eyes, gritting his teeth as he charged.
In a flash, the two horsen had reached the sa spot, both heavy, sharp blade edges aiming at each other’s necks, rushing with the force of galloping horses, colliding as each man turned sideways.
With a resonant clang.
The hooves of the galloping steeds were invisibly reined in, their bodies slowing considerably, the two n brushing past each other.
Right after their clash, soldiers around them also started fighting fiercely. Shantong’er and Nie Chong fearlessly attacked into the Longxi Army’s formation, especially Shantong’er, his copper hamr swinging with fierce winds. Those Longxi Soldiers coming into contact imdiately suffered either broken arms or legs, and even the galloping war horses weren’t spared, shrieking miserably as they were overturned; while Nie Chong on the other side led his troops forward, alongside Shantong’er, blocking the enemy in front of their formation!
Yet none of this entered the sight of the two generals, engrossed in their intense duel.
After their blow, Yu Wenye and Xue Xian brushed past, imdiately turning their horses’ heads, both swinging backward with their blades. Sparks flew, both heavy long swords repelled forcefully, each man’s arm numbed briefly.
