"Stop! Stop immediately!" shouted the assassin from Xuanhua Palace.
However, besides Lin Mo, who else could command Xu Chu?
In his moment of panic, Lin Mo actually shouted, "Stop!"
Clearly, Xu Chu couldn't possibly understand bird language.
He swung his double axes and chopped directly at Li Liang.
The assassin from Xuanhua Palace reacted quickly; she drew her short sword from her waist, raised it, and swiftly drew a flower of death.
The sword and axe clashed with a resounding clang that shook the very bones.
"This..." Xu Chu was shocked. "A seemingly weak woman, yet she possesses such strength. And such a quick reaction?"
Lin Mo was also shocked, because he saw that the female assassin had taken the axe blow head-on, yet her body remained completely still.
"My goodness!" Lin Mo thought to himself, "This woman is even stronger than Kago!"
"Hahaha, not bad! Girl, you've got some skills." Xu Chu shouted excitedly, then raised his double axes again and swung them at the female assassin.
"No..." Lin Mo wanted to shout for them to stop, but then he thought, if I don't kill such a fierce assassin now, what if they come to assassinate me tonight? Even ten lives wouldn't be enough!
Why not let Xu Chu...
So he deliberately pretended to be incoherent, "Um, what, no, this, what, ah!!!"
Li Liang was also shocked by Xu Chu's combat prowess; the assassins from Xuanhua Palace were actually being overwhelmed by him.
What terrifying strength must one possess to do that!
You should know that hiring this female assassin cost him half of the gold in his brother's vault!
The female assassin didn't say a word, but gripped her short sword and charged forward.
With a swing of his axe to the left and a swing to the right, Xu Chu unleashed a storm of attacks.
The female assassin fought back fiercely, managing to defend herself impenetrably. After deflecting a powerful slash that could have cleaved a man in two, she launched a swift counterattack.
The duel between the two top experts continued. Xu Chu cornered her, but she quickly escaped.
Xu Chu laughed wildly, the steel seemed to sing, "clang," sparks flew, "clang," the female assassin gradually began to pant, but he just couldn't hit her, as if she had an invincible shield and iron shirt, impervious to swords and spears.
"Excellent, excellent!" Xu Chu laughed again. "It's been a long time since I've felt this good!"
However, in that instant, the female assassin grumbled and rushed forward, her short sword flashing wildly, and the tide of battle turned in an instant.
Her blow grazed Xu Chu's forehead, and blood flowed into his right eye.
"Holy crap!" Lin Mo instantly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. "Xu Chu is no match for him?"
Xu Chu was also surprised.
Is it because I haven't practiced enough? Is it because my opponents are too weak? Or is it because I'm spending all my time practicing the "Dream Killing Technique" with my lord? That's why my skills have become rusty!
His eyelids grew heavy, his shoulders began to go numb, and each strike became heavier and heavier. Xu Chu knew he could no longer wield his axes as freely as before, and he could no longer raise them as high.
Is this woman that strong?
This realization sent a shiver down Lin Mo's spine.
But then, a turning point came.
Xu Chu seems to have some special skill; the injury on his forehead not only didn't affect him, but actually made him even more courageous in battle.
"Ah! Die!" Xu Chu roared, his eyes turning bloodshot.
Another axe blow came down, and the female assassin raised her sword to parry.
This time, the axe fell with such force that it knocked the female assassin's short sword away.
"Great opportunity!" Lin Mo shouted excitedly.
Slash it! Slash her to death!
Xu Chu's axe came down again, and the female assassin, seeing that the situation was not good, suddenly flipped over and jumped off the horse.
The axe fell heavily, cleaving the warhorse in two.
"Damn, what a pity!" Lin Mo was too lazy to pretend anymore. "My Fan Kuai, go after her and kill her!"
Everyone was astonished by these words.
The agreement was for negotiations, but both sides raised the white flag, and you ordered your men to kill people?
Li Liang also became anxious, "Lin Mo, you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'!" Lin Mo retorted, "So what if I'm so uncivilized? Ran Min, come with me and chop him down!"
If Li Liang knew how to say "damn it," he would definitely say "damn it" ten times right now.
"You traitor! My brother was right, you really are plotting a rebellion!"
"I'm against you, you traitor! This is called purging the court of corrupt officials!" Lin Mo shouted. "Prepare to die, you treacherous ministers!"
Upon seeing this, Li Liang's attendants rushed forward, "General Li, run! We'll cover your retreat!"
"None of them will escape!" Lin Mo roared.
However, this most capable general of the Great Xia Dynasty could run faster than a rabbit.
Before Lin Mo could even draw his sword, Li Liang had already galloped away on his horse.
"Run my ass, you bastard! I'm here to become sworn brothers with you!" In desperation, Lin Mo shouted out the line he used to fool Kago, "Oh no, take this sword!"
Lin Mo brandished his longsword and swiftly struck one of Li Liang's guards.
However, to his surprise, this sword strike seemed to be intentional on the part of his opponent.
The next second, the guard stretched out his hands and grabbed Lin Mo's sword with his own flesh and blood.
"You son of a bitch!" Lin Mo snapped, "Let go!"
The guard grinned maliciously, "Damn traitor, General Li will lead the Crimson Flame Army to tear you to pieces!"
Lin Mo was both angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
With gritted teeth and a stomp of his foot, he simply abandoned his longsword, declaring, "I'll bite you to death with my teeth today!"
Just as he was about to chase after Li Liang on horseback, the last guard stabbed Lin Mo's mount with his sword.
The warhorse, in pain, kicked wildly and, without warning, crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
