Chapter 482 Bloodbath Against Asura
The muffled sound was like a thunderclap exploding in the sky and rolling to the ground, then creeping underground, shaking the ground.
Everyone instinctively held their breath.
Xue Xian, who was chasing after Yuwen Ye, had already made up his mind not to turn back until he was cleaved in two by his sword. However, he also sensed the danger approaching, a danger he had never experienced before, driven by a beastly instinct.
He subconsciously turned around and looked behind him over his shoulder.
In the center of the army formation torn apart by Shan Tong'er and Nie Chong, on the road bathed in the golden light of the setting sun, a tall, dark figure suddenly appeared and charged toward him!
That is—
Xue Xian's eyes widened suddenly. The dark shadow, stretched incredibly long by the setting sun, almost enveloped him the instant it appeared in his field of vision. The figure resembled a sharp knife, piercing only his eyes.
At this moment, Xue Xian truly felt as if he had been stabbed hard.
Because he clearly saw that at the end of the dark shadow was a tall figure riding a horse, rushing towards him like Mount Tai pressing down. This person held a long weapon, which he held upside down to the ground. The gleaming blade carved a deep and long groove as the horse galloped along.
Upon seeing the weapon, Xue Xian's breath caught in his throat, and even his hands, which were wielding the crescent blade, froze.
That was a long spear!
The tall figure wielding the long spear was like an arrow suddenly shot into the battlefield, rushing over with the force of thunder. The surrounding soldiers had not yet reacted and thought he was a fierce general who had suddenly appeared from the Fufeng army, so they immediately surrounded and attacked him!
Just as the soldiers in the front row rushed to the man's side and raised their swords, they saw the man on horseback wave his hand at them, and a cold light flashed before their eyes!
Before they could react, they felt a chill on their chest.
The next moment, the cold light vanished, and a burst of intense crimson appeared before their eyes. Upon closer inspection, they realized it was their own blood gushing from their chests, instantly staining everyone's vision red.
These people didn't even have time to scream before they all fell backward!
The soldiers behind them continued to charge forward, but suddenly the rank of men in front fell backward. Caught off guard, they stepped directly over them and felt the flesh and blood turn into a pulp under their feet. Although mountains of corpses and seas of blood are nothing on the battlefield, the fact that their brothers who had charged ahead of them had become mangled corpses under their feet in just an instant was terrifying. Their legs went weak and they staggered forward, but then they felt a flash of cold light pass by their eyes.
This time, screams erupted everywhere.
Accompanied by screams, the soldiers' inescapable cold glint swept across them. They watched as people around them fell one by one, and as streams of blood gushed into the air. In their panic, they too became part of that horrific scene.
That long spear had taken the lives of dozens of people in an instant. The blood covered the golden glow of the setting sun and dyed the torn path in the battlefield blood red!
The owner of the long spear moved freely, as if he were in an empty place!
Seeing this, Xue Xian's heart sank!
He was a famous general of the Daye Dynasty. He was able to dominate Longxi in such a short time and remain undefeated in a hundred battles because he had practiced martial arts since childhood and never slacked off, which is why he had such combat power. And those who practice martial arts also know that among all weapons, the long spear is the most difficult to master.
Throughout the entire Daye Dynasty, there was only one person who could wield a long spear with such unparalleled skill!
But how did he end up here?!
Xue Xian was momentarily flustered, and even the hands holding the crescent blade felt weak. The steed beneath him seemed to sense its master's palpitation and subconsciously slowed its pace.
Just as he was startled and flustered by the person who suddenly appeared behind him, he didn't notice that Yuwen Ye, whom he was chasing, had also slowed down his horse.
At that moment, an even more deafening roar came from behind them!
Upon closer inspection, they saw a massive army rushing in, followed by a general wielding a long spear who suddenly emerged from the dense forest outside Fufeng City. This was the very place where Xue Xian had planned to take advantage of the Fufeng soldiers and civilians fetching water to storm the city and hide with his troops. However, just a few days later, someone else had followed suit and hidden there, and none of them had noticed.
What terrified the Longxi soldiers even more was that these people were coming for them!
The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves instantly filled most of the sky, like a barrier that suddenly rose in the center of the battlefield, not only obscuring the blood-red sunset, but also completely shrouding the Longxi army's formation behind them!
Although this force was still smaller than Xue Xian's army of over 100,000, their sudden charge caught the enemy off guard. In particular, the soldiers in the Longxi army were unable to know what was happening ahead in time. Some had already charged forward, while others were still waiting for their commander to give orders, thus creating a gap in the ranks.
The group was immediately blocked in the center.
Moreover, as soon as this group of men charged out, Shan Tong'er, who was already locked in a fierce battle with Xue Xian's personal guards, was immediately overjoyed by Nie Chong and the others: "Seventh Brother!"
"Brother Shen!"
"Seventh Master!"
This shout immediately startled those who were still engaged in fierce fighting.
Seventh Master—
Brother Shen—
These titles, taken individually, might not seem remarkable, but when put together, they sent chills down the spines of everyone still clinging to life on the battlefield, causing them to take a step back.
Hearing the shouts of those people, this man went berserk even more, wielding his long spear with ferocious force. Wherever he passed, limbs were severed and broken. With screams and soaring blood, the blood poured down like a torrential rain, soaking him completely. His face, covered in a thick beard and resembling a tiger, was stained red with blood, adding to his ferocious aura and striking fear into the hearts of those around him!
He was none other than Shen Tu Tai, a valiant general in the army of the Daye Dynasty, known to all and virtually invincible in battle!
He actually showed up here!
Moreover, after slaughtering the soldiers who wanted to surround and kill him until the blood flowed like a river and no one dared to step forward to stop him, Shen Tu Tai suddenly spurred his horse, raised his long spear high, and charged directly at Xue Xian, who was chasing ahead!
Someone in the crowd realized what was happening and shouted, "General, be careful!"
But by then, it was too late.
As Xue Xian watched the tall, mighty, and fierce Shen Tu Tai charge toward him, an indescribable fear welled up in his heart. If it were any other time, even on another battlefield, he might have had the competitive spirit of a martial artist to fight Shen Tu Tai. But today, at this moment, it was different!
This battle is not only about whether he can advance eastward, but now it is also a life-or-death battle for the Longxi army he leads.
If he cannot win this battle, I'm afraid he will have a hard time returning safely to Longxi.
But now, at the most crucial moment of the battle, he thought that as long as he killed Yuwen Ye, he could achieve final victory. However, Shen Tu Tai suddenly appeared. Moreover, Yuwen Ye's personal guards cooperated well with him, clearing a path for him. Then, Shen Tu Tai led his troops out and disrupted the Longxi army's formation. Now, he is charging towards him again!
This could kill him!
Just thinking about it made Xue Xian's mind go into turmoil.
However, Xue Xian could not allow himself to be defeated so easily. He had worked so hard to get to where he was today, and just now, he had defeated Yuwen Ye and forced him to flee.
Even if Shen Tu Tai were to suddenly appear, as long as I seize this fleeting opportunity and kill Yuwen Ye—
Thinking of this, Xue Xian took a deep breath and was about to raise his crescent blade and charge forward. But just as he was about to turn his head, Shen Tu Tai behind him had already rushed to within a few feet of him. His huge body and the momentum of his charge stirred up a bloody wind and suddenly attacked Xue Xian's face.
Shen Tu Tai suddenly shouted: "Xue Xian!"
This sound was like a bolt from the blue, exploding right in front of you!
Xue Xian was about to turn around and take advantage of this moment to continue chasing Yuwen Ye, but when he heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat.
When the mind is in turmoil, the courage that determines a warrior's victory on the battlefield dissipates.
Just as Xue Xian was so stunned by the loud shout that he almost forgot to move, another deep, furious shout came from behind him—
"Xue Xian!"
"ah?!"
Xue Xian was startled again and turned around in a panic.
In that instant, a blinding white light flashed before his eyes, causing him to close them abruptly.
At the same time, a gust of wind swept past the back of his neck.
Two riders passed by him from the left and right sides at the same time, and two cold lights passed by his neck. Suddenly, a round thing flew up from the middle of the two cold lights, followed by a pillar of blood that shot into the sky. In an instant, most of the people on the battlefield saw this scene.
That's Xue Xian's head!
His body remained frozen on the horse's back until, after galloping a considerable distance, he finally swayed and collapsed.
Then, the enormous head fell down, rolling several feet on the ground, finally rolling to the front of the horse that was gradually stopping, its hooves pawing at the blood-stained mud. The one who reined in the horse was none other than Yuwen Ye, who had just fled in panic, seemingly defeated, but then suddenly turned his horse around and joined forces with Shen Tu Tai, who was charging up, to deliver the decisive blow!
At this moment, his cold and deep eyes lowered as he looked at the head at his feet.
Turning his head again, he looked at the man who had passed him, gripping a long spear tightly and covered in blood. At this moment, he looked like a fierce demon who had emerged from hell. His piercing tiger eyes were also staring at Xue Xian's head. After a moment, he looked up again and looked at Yuwen Ye.
At that moment, their breaths and heartbeats seemed to be in sync.
Yuwen Ye said, "You've finally arrived."
