The wind was like a knife cutting into her face, and the gaze he cast at her carried both mockery of her current self-destructive predicament and a calm acceptance of her learning her lesson.
"It's alright, the formidable chasm isn't far ahead. With their horsemanship, the Ye Kingdom simply can't cross it!"
The natural barrier is a cliff several hundred meters ahead, with a distance of about ten meters between it and the opposite slope. When an ordinary horse arrives here, it will be intimidated by the danger of the sheer drop of a hundred meters down the deep ravine and be forced to stop.
However, the barbarians' horses were of extremely fine breed, and they were also skilled riders who often rode across dangerous terrain and ridges. So whenever the barbarians chased the fleeing enemy to this place, as long as they crossed the border, the border guards could only "sigh in despair" and were extremely frustrated.
The fear that had gripped him seemed to be suppressed by those words, and the barbarian leader roared at Yuwen Sheng, "Come on, keep chasing! Do you dare? Hahaha..."
"Walk!"
Without hesitation, the nomadic barbarians turned their horses around and galloped away at a speed many times greater than when they had been traveling. Zheng Quchi, riding on horseback, was not only suffering terribly, but she was practically cursing.
"rise!"
On a cliff several meters wide, these barbarians grabbed their horses, kicked off the ground, and both man and horse leaped into the air. It was a sight never before seen, leaving people dumbfounded.
Since the distance from the cliff to the other side varies, ranging from tens of meters to just over ten meters, they would naturally choose the shorter location to jump.
Therefore, they could not jump and land on the other side in unison. Since the barbarian leader's horse carried the weight of two people, its speed was naturally slower than the others, and it ended up lagging behind at the back of the cliff.
As they approached the cliff edge, Zheng Quchi felt extremely unwilling to be taken away by the barbarians.
“Sang, Xuan, Qing”.
Just as they were about to gallop past on horseback, Zheng Quchi heard Yuwen Sheng call her name in a deep voice. She saw him riding swiftly towards her, the horse almost flying alongside him. His long, enchanting eyes were fixed on her, as if they possessed a magic that made it impossible for her to look away.
"If you don't want to die, respond to me."
What does that mean? He... came to rescue her all by himself?
"quick!"
A sharp shout startled Zheng Quchi.
Her pale, dry lips pressed tightly together, and as if possessed, she pulled out a slingshot and fired a powerful shot into the eye of the horse in front of her.
With such a vulnerable part severely injured, the horse immediately neighed and cried out in pain, lost control of its four hooves, and twisted and swung its tail wildly.
