Of the two thousand Xuanjia cavalry, one hundred were left behind to protect Liu Wei.

The remaining 1,900 riders swept in like a black dragon.

Two thousand Xiongnu guards, though quite elite, were simply not enough against the Xuanjia cavalry.

Ahhh!

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The lance pierced the leather armor.

A horizontal blade cleaves a curved blade in two.

The Xiongnu's guards were like tofu, easily routed by the Xuanjia cavalry.

Helian Bobo was horrified when he saw this.

He never imagined that the guards he had personally trained and was so proud of would be so easily defeated.

Soldiers fell one after another, blood gushing forth, a blood mist spreading everywhere.

In a single charge, half of the two thousand Xiongnu guards were wiped out.

Only about ten of the Xuanjia cavalrymen unfortunately fell.

It was because their spears were so deeply embedded in the bodies of the Xiongnu soldiers that they couldn't be pulled out immediately, which made them targets of the enemy's attack.

Keeping such mistakes within 1% is already an excellent performance.

Furthermore, the Xiongnu's weapons were completely ineffective against the heavily armored and masked Xuanjia cavalry, who were armed to the teeth.

As the two armies clashed, the Xiongnu's scimitars sparked as they slashed at the armor of the Xuanjia cavalry, and the blades chipped, but they could not penetrate even a fraction of the armor.

Now, Helian Bobo's guards will not only fail to avenge their defeat, but will also suffer total annihilation.

Now, he has no way out.

Another round of charges ensued, and of the thousand Xiongnu guards, only five hundred remained, all wounded and filled with fear.

Helian Bobo's eyes were bloodshot; he was unwilling to perish like this.

Suddenly, he looked behind him and saw a hundred or so knights surrounding a man not far away.

The man was wearing light armor and riding a black horse.

He appeared calm and composed, accompanied by four or five lightly armored knights, standing out from the heavily armored cavalry around him.

"Such heavily armored cavalry is a crucial asset in the army."

"This person is under their heavy protection, so he must be a very important person!"

Helian Bobo's heart pounded wildly. "If we can kill him, even if the entire army is wiped out, it will be worth it!"

So he immediately said to the two remaining centurions beside him, "This time, let's go all out to attack that person in the distance!"

"Kill him with all your might!"

"If we succeed, we will die without regret, and we can follow the King in death!"

The two centurions were covered in blood and riddled with wounds.

They knew they were doomed this time, and upon hearing Helian Bobo's words, they immediately revealed a ruthless expression.

The third round of attacks saw the venues switch.

Led by Helian Bobo, the five hundred Xiongnu cavalry suddenly turned their horses around and charged towards Liu Wei and his men who were not far away.

Shen Lian was greatly alarmed.

The strategist sent him here to protect Liu Wei.

Just when it seemed that the two thousand cavalrymen were about to be annihilated, they unexpectedly charged towards the Marquis.

Needless to say, they definitely want to harm the Marquis.

"Protect the Marquis!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

Several Imperial Guards shouted in unison.

One hundred Xuanjia cavalry also formed a defensive line, firmly guarding Liu Wei in the center.

Fool!

Liu Wei was so angry he almost vomited blood.

People might not know his identity, but now that he's shouted like that, they know!

Sure enough, Helian Bobo had previously seen Liu Wei from afar near Shanwu City while he was with Qiangqu, and had some impression of him.

Hearing these people call him "Lord," he immediately confirmed that this person was indeed Liu Wei, the Marquis of Yinshan.

It was him!

Helian Bobo's blood boiled instantly, and he became even more certain of his goal.

Before I die, I must kill this man to avenge the old Chanyu.

With a roar, Helian Bobo and his horse shot forward like arrows, getting closer and closer to Liu Wei and the others.

Upon seeing this, the Xuanjia cavalry over there also hurriedly surrounded the five hundred remaining Xiongnu soldiers.

Rumble!

One hundred Xuanjia cavalrymen formed an iron wall, blocking the raging tide of attacks from the cavalry behind Helian Bobo.

However, at the very moment the two armies clashed, Helian Bobo leaped high from his horse and pounced on Liu Wei.

"My lord, be careful!"

Shen Lian and the others quickly raised their swords and used their bodies to protect Liu Wei.

Helian Bobo crashed down from the sky like a giant bird.

ah!

Shen Lian was violently pushed aside, and the long sword in his hand also slipped from his grasp.

Just then, Helian Bobo's massive body was about to crash down on Liu Wei.

If that hits, you'll be half-dead even if you don't die.

In a flash, Liu Wei sensed the impending danger and, with lightning speed, grabbed the longsword that Chen Lian had dropped.

With the long sword in hand, Liu Wei felt a surge of primordial power rising from his dantian.

He instinctively swung his sword to the left at Helian Bobo's neck, then swung it to the right with all his might.

A flash of blood appeared, and the slash was as startling as a dragon in flight.

Helian Bobo was slashed hard, his direction changed, and he fell to the ground.

A huge gash ran from his face to his chest, from which blood gushed out continuously.

Blood spurted from the corner of Helian Bobo's mouth, his eyes filled with disbelief and resentment.

"This...this Marquis, how come he also has martial arts skills?"

"I will die... I will die with my eyes wide open!"

Before he could finish speaking, he died.

Despite coughing up blood, Shen Lian struggled to his feet. He and the other four Imperial Guards were stunned by Liu Wei's heroic act.

At this moment, Liu Wei never expected that his sudden outburst would actually kill Helian Bobo.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suppressed his wildly beating heart and casually tossed the knife aside.
