Long Qian Xing smiled faintly. "I don't have time to play with you today."
"You…"
Swish!
The horse charged faster. Wu San Sao, who had better reflex, swiftly moved to block the attack from Long Qian Xing.
Clang!
The two metals clashed against each other, producing crisp sound. Wu San Di was quick to react as he raised his blade and made a slashing movement towards Long Qian Xing.
But how could Long Qian Xing be attacked so easily.
Despite facing the two of them directly, Long Qian Xing easily evaded the attack through a tricky angle. He was smiling faintly and swiftly kicked his horse's back, prompting it to move forward.
"Watch out!"
Slash!
The swords in Long Qian Xing's hand moved swiftly, cutting through Wu San Di's body as it was made out of tofu. It easily cut through the supposedly thick armor.
Wu San Sao's eyes widened when he saw his brother cut into two. It was then he realized that Long Qian Xing was holding back. When this young commander was facing them yesterday… he was definitely holding back.
Wu San Di looked at his brother as blood spewed out of his mouth. "Run."
Without hesitation, Wu San Sao tilted his horse's position and he yelled, "Cover…."
There were none of his soldiers around him. They were all the soldiers of Long Qian Xing's. His soldiers were further away from him because those near him and his brothers were already killed. Realizing that point, Wu San Sao's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he kicked his horseback, urging it to move faster.
"Stop him!" The soldiers in front of him raised their weapon, attacking towards the horse.
Wu San Sao released his hand from the reign and stood up, running on top of his horse and jumped towards his group of soldiers while yelling, "Cover up!"
Swish! Jleb!
Before he could reach his men, an arrow pierced through his chest. Wu San Sao's eyes widened as his adjutant quickly caught him. "Master!"
"Return!" Wu San Sao gave the order with difficulties.
The adjutant nodded and the soldiers all rushed forward to give cover. Even though many of them died almost immediately when they reached Long Qian Xing's soldier, they still moved forward. They had to make sure that they bought enough time for their commander to return.
Long Qian Xing looked in Wu San Sao's direction as he swung his sword to cut Wu San Di's arm that was holding him. It seemed that at the very last moment, Wu San Di held his arm to make sure that he couldn't chase after his brother.
These two brothers had really good tandems with each other.
He looked at the soldiers who allowed Wu San Sao to leave. "When we return, you all have an additional week of training."
The soldiers were stunned when they heard what Long Qian Xing said. Because they had allowed Wu San Sao to leave, their training was increased by another week?
"If you can show to me that your result is good, I'll cancel this order."
With that sentence, the soldiers were energized once more.
At the back, Long Xu was looking at Long Qian Xing with a complicated expression. It seemed that Long Qian Xing was really good at using carrot and stick's approach. What he gave was clearly a punishment, but he allowed the soldiers to have hope to avoid it as long as they performed well.
How treacherous.
