Chapter 225: Chapter 123: Kill for Me_1

Bai Jinzhi’s blood kept flowing down her large arm. Her entire arm was numb from pain; she had no feeling and kept trembling. Nonetheless, her hand still gripped the silver spear tightly just in case. After all, nothing was more important than protecting Bai Qingyun and leaving here alive.

“General!” An Elite Soldier from Huying Camp killed the last dead soldier guarding the small side door of the inn. He called out to Shen Liangyu and went ahead to scout the way.

“Turn!” Shen Liangyu suddenly took the lead, changing direction and retreating towards the side door of the inn. Amidst a flurry of arrows and lights glinting off blades, they fought while retreating.

The leader of Li Zhijie’s dead soldiers shouted, “Have the city guards stop them!”

The side door of the inn opened. Shen Liangyu covered the rear. As soon as Xiao Ruohai, Bai Jinzhi, and Shen Qingzhu exited the inn, they were immediately surrounded by Xiliang city guards holding torches high. The crossbowmen aimed their weapons at Shen Liangyu and Xiao Ruohai’s group.

Bai Jinzhi’s throat rolled as she instinctively placed one hand on Bai Qingyun’s back and tightly gripped the silver spear with the other hand. Her eyes hurt from the flickering firelight.

“Jin soldiers?!” The Xiliang city guard general on his high horse pointed his scimitar at Shen Liangyu, gritting his teeth as if harboring a deep blood feud with the Jin Army. “Are you Jin soldiers? The ones who killed tens of thousands of our Xiliang soldiers?!”

Bai Jinzhi gritted her teeth and glared at the Xiliang city guard general on horseback, ready to fight to the death.

Shen Liangyu spat out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva. He made a gesture with his hidden hand to protect Bai Qingyun. Determined to carve a bloody path for Bai Qingyun and Bai Jinzhi, he coldly declared, “I am Shen Liangyu of Huying Camp under the Bai family’s army!”

The valiant soldiers of Huying Camp fearlessly advanced with their swords raised.

The Dong family’s dead soldiers retreated to Bai Qingyun and Bai Jinzhi’s side. They used their bodies to shield them.

The Xiliang city guard general’s eyes were bloodshot. He roared with rage, “Kill these Jin dogs who dare to step on Xiliang’s soil! Avenge our Xiliang soldiers!”

“Kill!” Shen Liangyu commanded. The experienced Huying Camp warriors charged forward in unison as the Xiliang soldiers’ arrows flew at them. Their longswords glinted coldly as they leaped and cut the Xiliang archers’ throats, slicing into the enemy troops.

Shen Qingzhu and Bai Jinzhi stayed close beside Xiao Ruohai, gripping their weapons tightly.

The clash of the Dong family dead soldiers’ and Xiliang soldiers’ blades was intense. As long knives pierced flesh and blood splashed, Bai Jinzhi’s blood boiled, making her want to rush into the fierce battle and kill these Xiliang soldiers. But she had to protect the severely injured Bai Qingyun.

The Dong family dead soldiers and the Elite Soldiers of Huying Camp, led by Shen Liangyu, used their bodies to hold off the Xiliang soldiers. They bought time for Xiao Ruohai, Shen Qingzhu, and Bai Jinzhi to retreat with Bai Qingyun.

“When we get to the hillside, you protect Fourth Miss and Ninth Young Master and ride away quickly! Watch out for arrows! I’ll hold them off!” Shen Qingzhu said sternly, protecting Xiao Ruohai and Bai Jinzhi as they quickly retreated. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}

“Surround them! Don’t let any of them escape!” The Xiliang general on horseback shouted. His hawk-like gaze focused on the blood-soaked, unconscious Bai Qingyun on Xiao Ruohai’s back. He instantly understood these Bai family soldiers were risking their lives to save that person!

The Xiliang general pulled the reins, spurred his horse, and charged straight toward Xiao Ruohai and the others with his elite soldiers in tow, his raised scimitar emanating killing intent.
