Chapter 1408 Fear
Chapter 1408 Fear
"Hahaha, you're pretty good! Let's do it again!"
Lu Zhishen's laughter echoed throughout the battlefield. At this point, whether it was a night raid or not was no longer important.
Damn it!
Wanyan Yinshu felt his hands were numb; the immense force made his grip on the axe handle feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Actually, it was just bad luck on his part. If he had used a different weapon tonight, he wouldn't be in such a passive position. But who told him to come with an axe tonight? Lu Zhishen gets excited whenever he sees someone wielding a heavy weapon! He'll definitely go all out!
"Again! Again!"
Not satisfied, Lu Zhishen spurred his horse forward again, swinging his staff and creating a whooshing sound in the night!
"Clang!"
Wanyan Yinshu naturally wouldn't retreat. At this point, he had nowhere to retreat, so he could only swing his axe and charge forward!
"Not enough power!"
After a few moves, Lu Zhishen realized that the man in front of him was indeed skilled in martial arts, but lacked strength, and the weapon he was using did not seem to be his most proficient one.
"Damn it, damn it!"
While wielding his axe to try and block Lu Zhishen's demon-subduing staff, Wanyan Yinshuke retreated step by step. The difference in strength was too great, and Wanyan Yinshuke, being a wise man, decided to retreat.
As for Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yinshu said that he couldn't care less about his two nephews right now.
"Want to leave? If I let you go, how am I supposed to explain this to my brothers?"
Lu Zhishen sensed that Wanyan Yinshuke was planning to leave, but how could he let Wanyan Yinshuke leave? With a flick of his staff, he tightly bound Wanyan Yinshuke!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Wanyan Yinshu was getting more and more anxious. He tried his best to get out of Lu Zhishen's control, but all of this was in vain!
"Master! Are you leaving or not?"
Lu Zhishen was enjoying the fight immensely, having not felt this way in a long time, when suddenly a voice behind him told him to retreat.
"Retreating so soon? Fight a little longer!"
Lu Zhishen said he didn't want to retreat so quickly and wanted to fight a little longer!
"Alright, Master! Then I'll go with you!"
The one shouting from behind was naturally Wu Song. He could tell that Lu Zhishen was in a good mood, so he offered to join them. Firstly, he was considerate of Lu Zhishen's feelings, and secondly, he wanted to finish the battle quickly. After all, the main force was relatively close to the Jin army. If the Jin people were not so ethical and sent out tens of thousands of men, their small force would not be enough to fill their teeth.
"Hahaha, Erlang, let's go together! This guy's pretty good at fighting, we can keep him entertained for a while!"
"Get lost! Are you trying to humiliate me?"
Wanyan Yinshu felt that he had inexplicably become a plaything, which made him very angry!
How could I be merely a plaything? I am the second greatest general of the Jin Dynasty! What are these people trying to achieve by humiliating me like this?!
However, his actions were not so tough. After exchanging more than ten blows with Lu Zhishen, Wanyan Yinshu seized an opportunity, swung his axe forcefully, and parried Lu Zhishen's demon-subduing staff. Then he turned and ran away!
There was no other way but to run. The person who had called out to the monk earlier was already standing not far behind him. Judging from the person's clothes and aura, he was definitely no less imposing than the monk in front of him!
One senior monk was already troublesome enough; if another one came, I would definitely be done for tonight.
In this situation, only a fool wouldn't run!
"Master, aren't we going to pursue them?"
Seeing Wanyan Yinshu escape, Lu Zhishen did not pursue him. Instead, he chuckled and put away his demon-subduing staff. Wu Song came to his side and asked in surprise.
"Erlang, have you forgotten that there's someone else who came too?"
Lu Zhishen pointed in the direction Wanyan Yinshu could leave and said slowly.
"Military Advisor Li?"
Wu Song quickly realized, "Oh right, Assistant Li has arrived too."
"This man's martial arts skills are on par with ours, but if he were to face Military Advisor Li..."
Before Lu Zhishen could finish speaking, Wu Song understood:
"I see. Then we really don't need to continue. Master, let's clean up the battlefield."
"Okay, by the way, Erlang, did you run into anyone just now?"
"I've captured a man surnamed Wanyan; he seems to be quite an important figure. Master, do you recognize him?"
Wu Song signaled the soldiers to bring Wanyan Zonghan up. Well, he was still unconscious and looked quite pitiful.
"I don't recognize this person."
Lu Zhishen looked at him and indicated that he did not recognize the man.
"It's alright, take it back and show it to your brother. He should recognize it."
Wu Song said it was alright, his gaze lingered briefly in the direction of the Jin army camp, and then he continued to ask:
"Master, should we send reinforcements to Military Advisor Li's side? Or should we wait for him?"
"Let's wait and see, but I think with Li Junshi's abilities, he'll be fine."
……
"Faster, faster!"
Wanyan Yinshu was running very fast, afraid that the enemy behind him would catch up. Because he was running so fast, only a few personal guards could barely keep up with him.
But what he didn't realize was that the more he ran, the fewer guards he had around him, and many of them suddenly collapsed for no apparent reason!
A ghostly figure was leaping and moving constantly on the backs of the horses, closely following behind Wanyan Yinshuke!
"Zaku! Have those people caught up with us yet?!"
Wanyan Yinshu did not turn around, but instead asked his trusted confidant.
However, his trusted confidants, who usually responded to his calls, were nowhere to be found.
"Zaku! What are you doing! I'm asking you a question!"
Wanyan Yinshu didn't get a reply and was angry. He turned around to see what had happened.
When he turned around, he was dumbfounded. There were at least dozens of people who had retreated with him, but now there was no one behind him! Only a few ownerless warhorses were still barely keeping up with him!
His trusted confidant, Zagu, lay dozens of steps behind him, blood flowing steadily from his neck.
"What's going on?!"
A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to Wanyan Yinshuke's head. He had practiced martial arts all his life, and this was the first time he had ever felt such fear!
"who!"
Something seemed to be leaping back and forth on the stray warhorses at great speed, completely invisible in the darkness.
"Who's playing tricks on us!"
Wanyan Yinshu reined in his horse, gripped his large axe tightly with both hands, and drove the horse to circle back and forth repeatedly, as if only in this way could he feel safe.
"Playing tricks? You're not worthy of it."
A voice, clearly tinged with contempt and mockery, suddenly rang out from behind, sending chills down Wanyan Yinshu's spine! He dared not move an inch!
Clearly, someone had appeared behind him, standing on the rump of his warhorse!
But when did this person arrive? And who is this person? Wanyan Yinshu had absolutely no idea!
An indescribable fear overwhelmed Wanyan Yinshuke! His face was covered in cold beads of sweat!
"You, you, are you a human, or a ghost..."
