"Ah!!!"

In terror, Xiao Shenghe let out a shrill scream.

This blade sliced across his face, cutting from his forehead past his nose to his chin, missing only a hair's breadth from cleaving his entire head in two.

But it was this sliver of a difference that saved Xiao Sheng's life.

Though the strength of his sword remained undimmed, its blade fell, and Xiao Sheng had no mounts left to fight from.

The war knife slashed into the war horse's head with a single blow. The war horse let out a scream, blood spurting from its wound, a burst of crimson light, before collapsing with a thud.

And Xiao Sheng, riding on horseback, also fell to the ground in agonizing pain.

Hobbling to his feet, Xiao Shenghe only saw a blinding red before him. It was blood that smeared across his vision, obscuring the world outside.

Even so, driven by an instinctive sense of danger, Xiao Sheng rolled frantically on the ground.

As expected, the war saber's chopping sounds seemed to follow him.

Xiao Sheng could feel the blade slicing through the frozen ground, ice shards flying up and stinging his skin.

Between life and death, there is great terror.

This was the first time Xiao Shenghe had been so close to death. Driven by his instinct for survival, he grabbed a weapon from the ground at random and swung it blindly.

Wow!

The clash of weapons against each other rang out with a fierce clang, sparks flying everywhere. Xiao Sheng only felt numbness in his tiger's mouth, his entire arm feeling as if it were about to be disabled.

At this point, Guzailo also dismounted her horse and with all her might, she swung her sword once more.

"Die!"

Xiao Sheng was astonished and instinctively raised the weapon in his hand to block.

Guzailo's blade struck Xiao Shenghe's with a resounding clang, shattering both swords simultaneously. Xiao Shenghe spat blood and rolled backwards, driven by the force of the impact.

Gzailyo gritted his silver teeth, his heart filled with anger.

She knew her own strength surpassed Xiao Shenghe's, but in this chaotic army, wanting to kill him in a short time was wishful thinking.

In just a few rounds, the surrounding Liao army had already surrounded them. Now it was still her people fighting desperately, but if they waited for the Liao army from inside to come out and form a large encirclement, let alone killing Xiao Sheng, even rescuing Zhao Tailai and Su Pingbei would be impossible, and she herself would have to pay the price here.

"Chief, it's time to leave!"

A subordinate hacked to death a Liao soldier before him, his blood-soaked face twisting towards Guzhayilo as he roared.

Guzailov glanced at Xiao Shenghe who was fleeing in panic, dropped the half-sword in his hand, and picked up a random sword from the ground. He roared, "Go!"

This conflict came quickly and left even faster.

The Qin army fought to escape, while the warriors of the Guza tribe sought to unleash a century's worth of pent-up resentment. Both sides battled with incredible ferocity, slaughtering thousands of Liao soldiers in a short period. This left the Liao army terrified. Taking advantage of their respite, the Qin army retreated rapidly.

Heavy snow swirled, and a portion of the Liao army gave chase, but to catch up was a fool's errand.

At this time, Xiao Sheng was already beginning to treat his wounds with the help of his subordinates.

Looking in the mirror, he saw the gash on his face, almost splitting it open, and blood trickling down. The piercing pain fueled a surge of hatred in Xiao Shenghe's heart.

"Guza Tribe, are Guzaiyo!"

Xiao Shenghe's mind was in turmoil.

The rebellion of the Guza tribe made him realize this was going to be a big problem.

His thoughts surging, he abruptly stood up and said, "Immediately dispatch someone to inform the Crown Prince, Guzailo has rebelled. Urge the Crown Prince to make a decision quickly!"an seemed to have expected Li Chen's summons long ago, so he remained calm and collected, with a plan in mind.Li Chen raised his eyes to look at Qian Shiyan and said softly, "You're welcome."When Qian...
