Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179: Chapter 178: The Killings Shook the Heavens_1

Bai Qingyan rode on a fast horse, galloping forward. Her sharp eyes focused on the high sky above the canyon where a hawk was circling. She drew an arrow, nocked it, and aimed at the hawk.

The fierce general of Xiliang’s ambush troops pressed himself against the cliff, hiding below. His sharp and sinister eyes swept over, precisely capturing the valiant figure of Bai Qingyan on horseback, drawing her bow.

Seeing Bai Qingyan aiming at Yun Poxing’s hawk, he was shocked. That hawk was the symbol of Yun Poxing. Over the years, any army that saw this hawk, except for the Bai family army of Jin Kingdom, would scatter in fear and throw away their armor. This hawk was the morale of Xiliang’s army and must not be shot down! He immediately nocked an arrow.

Sweat already formed at Bai Qingyan’s temples. She steadied her mind, gritting her teeth.

Unexpectedly, before Bai Qingyan could release the arrow, she heard the rapid whistling sound of an arrow. Her warhorse let out a mournful neigh and, along with the unprepared Bai Qingyan, was thrown to the ground.

“Eldest Young Lady!”

“My lady!” Xiao Ruohai leaped off his horse, rushing to Bai Qingyan. “My lady, catch the spear!”

Xiao Ruohai threw Bai Qingyan’s silver spear to her. Bai Qingyan caught the spear, turned instinctively, and with all her might, thrust it into one of the Xiliang soldiers, who died instantly.

Xiao Ruohai drew his longsword, guarding Bai Qingyan, while Bai Jinzhi also dismounted and rushed to Bai Qingyan’s side to protect her.

“Xiao Ruohai, raise the battle flag!” Bai Qingyan roared. _{ƒгeewebnovёl.com}

“Yes!” Xiao Ruohai obeyed the order.

The fierce general of Xiliang drew his bow again, aiming at Bai Qingyan. Bai Qingyan’s natural battlefield instincts warned her of the rapidly approaching danger. She thrust the silver spear into a crack in the ground, pressed Bai Jinzhi’s head down protectively, and dodged, shielding her sister. The arrow brushed past Bai Qingyan’s cheek, instantly drawing blood. Yet this allowed Bai Qingyan to spot the Xiliang general who had shot at her.

Following Bai Qingyan’s gaze, Bai Jinzhi saw the Xiliang general aiming at Bai Qingyan again. She immediately picked up the She Ri Bow and threw it to Bai Qingyan. “Eldest Young Lady, catch the bow!”

Bai Qingyan caught the bow with one hand, drew an arrow with the other, pivoted to avoid the incoming arrow, and seamlessly nocked the arrow, drawing the bowstring taut.

This arrow was faster and more explosive than the Xiliang general’s, hitting his throat squarely, killing him instantly with one arrow through the throat!

“General!” The Xiliang soldiers were shocked.

The main general of Xiliang, famed for his archery on horseback, was killed by a single arrow. The morale of the Xiliang troops still fighting on Wengshan’s eastern side began to falter.

Xiao Ruohai, leading the flag-bearing soldiers, was about to reach the edge of the canyon cliff.

A riderless warhorse galloped wildly towards her. She quickly slung the She Ri Bow over her shoulder, drew her silver spear, and leaped onto the horse, shouting to Bai Jinzhi, “Jinzhi!”

Bai Jinzhi grabbed the red tassel silver spear handed to her by Bai Qingyan, used it to mount the horse as it charged forward. Sitting behind Bai Qingyan, Bai Jinzhi thrust the spear into a Xiliang soldier’s heart and lungs before pulling it out and killing another with a reverse thrust.

“Take this!” Bai Qingyan handed the red tassel silver spear to Bai Jinzhi, gripped the horse’s belly with her legs, nocked another arrow, and aimed at the hawk circling high above the canyon.

The swift horse took a leaping jump, soaring over the battling soldiers below and charging upwards.

Accuracy had never been an issue for her. Her only concern was whether her strength, even after intensive training, was sufficient.

She drew the She Ri Bow, the wood creaking, pulling the bowstring with all her might, her body tense, sweat pouring down her temples.
