Chapter 1077 Catch him!
Seeing these people fall to the ground, the soldiers who had been surrounding Yuwen Ye and his men panicked. In particular, their warhorses, startled, neighed and whinnied anxiously, pacing back and forth in a chaotic mess.
Just as they were in a state of panic, Shen Tu Tai suddenly launched an attack.
He noticed that the people around him were tightly surrounding him, with the soldier closest to his right staring at his arm to prevent him from making a move. Taking advantage of the soldier's momentary lapse in concentration, Shen Tu Tai raised his long spear and thrust it in with a backhand. The soldier's chest was pierced through as easily as tofu. Before he could even react, he stared wide-eyed in disbelief, looking down at his pierced chest, then looking up at Shen Tu Tai.
Shen Tu Tai remained expressionless, and with a slight twitch of his arm, a blood-red flower bloomed on the man's chest with a "hiss," and he screamed and fell to the ground.
Upon hearing the screams, the people around finally came to their senses and were about to rush forward, but Shen Tu Tai did not give them a chance to react. He brandished his long spear and thrust left and right. In the chaos, all they could see was a flash of cold light in the blood, and people kept screaming and falling off their horses. In just a moment, several people had been stabbed off their horses by Shen Tu Tai.
Once the closest person was cleared away, he had no more obstacles and wielded his long spear with great force.
Instantly, the soldiers on the outer perimeter were swept away by Shen Tu Tai like reeds that had just been cleared by Shi Yutao's axe. He was in high spirits and stabbed down two soldiers who charged forward in succession. Blood sprayed everywhere and, when it fell, was illuminated by the rising sun, reflecting a strange and dazzling seven-colored light.
In that light, Shen Tu Tai raised his blood-red eyes and stared straight at Shi Yu Tao opposite him.
It was only at this moment that Shi Yutao suddenly felt a sharp pain.
It was from his hand, from the bandaged tiger's mouth, that the sharp pain snapped him back to reality. Only then did Shi Yutao realize that he had been in a daze—stunned by Shen Tu Tai's sudden outburst.
So this is the real Shen Tu Tai!
Yesterday at Hulao Pass, Shen Tu Tai, who easily neutralized Xue Lin's attacks by assisting him, was just playing around! Now, he is the real Shen Tu Tai on the battlefield, the fearsome god of war who shakes the world!
Shi Yutao gripped the battle axe tightly, instinctively wanting to resist, but the excruciating pain not only pierced his heart but also seemed to steal all his strength in that instant. He felt icy cold all over, as if all the blood in his body had frozen into ice, and he remained motionless, frozen in place, watching the cold light in Shen Tu Tai's hand dart back and forth like a venomous snake, knocking down his soldiers one by one.
Even now, Yuwen Ye behind him remains motionless.
After Shen Tu Tai cleared away the people around him, the soldiers who had been surrounding him immediately moved to protect him tightly. The cavalry that suddenly rushed out charged forward with lightning speed, and in just a moment they overwhelmed the soldiers who were already somewhat panicked and had not received timely command from Shi Yu Tao, and whose composure had been disrupted by Shen Tu Tai.
Soon, Shi Yutao's men retreated in defeat.
Yuwen Ye was immediately surrounded by his own men, each wielding a sword and exuding a murderous aura.
Only then did Shi Yutao finally regain his composure. Seeing Shen Tu Tai closing in and killing a soldier from behind with a single spear thrust, a surge of heat welled up within Shi Yutao's previously cold body. This burning rage instantly restored his senses. He roared and immediately spurred his horse forward, brandishing his battle axe to deflect Shen Tu Tai's spear, and stood in front of him.
The surrounding soldiers immediately shouted, "General!"
Upon seeing him, Shen Tu Tai did not immediately attack. Instead, he gripped his long spear in the back of his hand, coldly looking at the wound where the bandages were soaked with blood, and then asked, "Can you still fight?"
Shi Yutao gritted his teeth: "There is no reason why we cannot fight except to die."
Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Tai raised an eyebrow slightly, the fierceness that had been gathering between his brows fading somewhat, replaced by a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
At that moment, Yuwen Ye's voice came from behind: "But I don't intend to let you die."
Upon hearing his voice, Shi Yutao immediately looked up at him, only to see Yuwen Ye slowly approaching on horseback, the reins twitching. By this time, the sun had fully risen, illuminating the entire north bank and his cold, stern eyes—his scheme had clearly succeeded, and victory was now assured, yet Yuwen Ye showed no joy on his face. On the contrary, a deep gloom hung between his brows, as if some worry weighed heavily on his heart.
Shi Yutao said, "My life and death are not up to others to decide."
"..."
"Do you intend to arrest me?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye remained silent, while Shen Tu Tai seemed eager to try. His grip on the long spear was so tight that his knuckles cracked repeatedly, making the other man even more nervous.
He was like a tiger in a cage, just waiting for the gate to open so he could roar and pounce, tearing his prey to shreds.
However, as time passed, Yuwen Ye did not issue the order.
Shen Tu Tai was somewhat surprised. After waiting for a while, he still did not receive any signal from Yuwen Ye. He finally couldn't help but look back and saw an indescribable unease surging in Yuwen Ye's deep eyes. Why did he have this expression when they were clearly in control of the situation?
Shen Tu Tai said softly, "Your Highness?"
This soft exclamation seemed to awaken Yuwen Ye. He looked up at Shen Tu Tai, then at Shi Yutao and the people behind him, and suddenly said something inexplicable: "It seems you can't succeed before your sister."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yutao's face immediately darkened.
Yuwen Ye said calmly, "Grab him!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Tai replied in a deep voice, "Yes!" After saying that, he took the reins in one hand, brandished his long spear, and spurred his horse to charge towards Shi Yutao.
Realizing that the other party was coming to capture him, Shi Yutao's expression changed. He immediately shouted to the soldiers beside him, "Retreat quickly!" As he spoke, he hurriedly spurred his horse to retreat, but before the warhorse could turn around, he felt a gust of wind rushing to his face. Shen Tu Tai had already rushed in front of him, and the long spear in his hand was like a poisonous dragon, viciously pouncing towards Shi Yutao!
At that moment, Shi Yutao felt his heart sink.
Just then, a loud bugle call suddenly sounded behind him!
