Chapter 943: Chapter 688: He Came for You (Part 3)

Moreover, who knows if my arrow just struck Shali Khan?

Who dares to bet?

With this thought, more and more people uneasily halted.

However, there were still a few generals who were unconvinced. After all, they had been standing in the same position as Shali Khan from the beginning and did not follow the signal shot; moreover, Ashina Zhuxie’s action itself was patricidal and usurping. How could they let him succeed?

So, they called out to their soldiers, "Charge!"

Ashina Zhuxie shouted harshly, "Those who protect me today will be heroes of the Western Turks!"

Although these few short words, due to the chaos caused by the two signal shots just now, dragged most people into the turmoil, these people hesitated and did not charge towards Ashina Zhuxie. However, those few generals and their personal soldiers refused to give up, brandishing their swords and charging directly at Ashina Zhuxie!

In that moment, a cold light flashed in Ashina Zhuxie’s eyes.

He waved his hand vigorously—

"Go!"

In the next moment, a unit of the Heavy Cavalry surrounding him stepped forward, immediately riding to face the attackers.

To face the Heavy Cavalry with ordinary cavalry, the result is obvious.

Even though Shang Ruyi hadn’t seen the great battle that once occurred near Shouyang, nor the massacre-like crushing victory, she already knew that the cavalry Ashina Shalidu paid so much attention to must be exceptionally brave and skilled.

As expected, as the two groups clashed, a chilling wail simultaneously rose.

The soldiers rushing behind the generals were like they hit a solid wall, bouncing back outright, with some flying several feet away, and many more were knocked to the ground. Just as they were struggling to stand and fight back, heavy hooves had already crushed upon them.

Screams, accompanied by bright red blood, spattered out.

This tragic scene was even more shocking than Ashina Shali and Yiasu being pierced by ten thousand arrows moments ago. The soldiers, who had been hesitating whether to charge forward, paused once more.

But some were unwilling to give up and continued to fight back.

For a moment, the forces of the Western Turks were thrown into chaos. Shang Ruyi watched with eyes wide open as blood dyed the grassland red, a team of soldiers charged forward while another team fell, some scrambling away only to crash into her directly!

At that moment, several Heavy Cavalry suddenly rushed over from the side, guarding around her!

Shang Ruyi was startled and instinctively turned her head, only to see the not-so-distant Ashina Zhuxie watching his Heavy Cavalry under his command trampling the few remaining stubborn soldiers under hoof as if slicing melons and cutting vegetables. Yet he also rode forward on horseback.

Why is he—?

Just then, Shang Ruyi felt a chill down her spine. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

She suddenly realized that even though the scene was already a melee of flashing swords and flying flesh, or rather, chaos of war, the true challenge she faced wasn’t just this. They weren’t just faced with this.

In fact, it was—

At this thought, she abruptly turned her head back, only to see that across the Cangtou River, on the vast expanse of grassland, the once ink-blot-like advancing army seemed to notice the turmoil on this side and gradually stopped!

However, there was a single figure at the forefront, leading the charge, who had not stopped.

Yu Wenye was still advancing!

What is with him?

Even his troops behind him had stopped, quite obviously following his command to halt, yet why does he continue alone?

Shang Ruyi could hardly believe her eyes, thinking perhaps the rich scent of blood around was playing tricks on her senses. She forcibly closed her eyes, calming herself, and then opened them again—

Yes!

That figure, nimble as a dragon, was still on horseback, striding forward without pause, faster now than when marching, and accelerating.

In the blink of an eye, she could already discern his silhouette and even sense his sharp gaze!

As panic swelled in Shang Ruyi’s heart, Ashina Zhuxie drew near her side.

His fierce gaze seemed ablaze with a burning flame as he fixed steadily on the approaching figure ahead. Though there was only one person, facing the vast Turkic army and the rising bloodstain, amidst the deafening cries of battle, he was utterly fearless. He gravely said, "It appears he comes for you."

"..."

Shang Ruyi’s heart stirred.

Raising her head again, that familiar figure had arrived at the opposite bank of the Cangtou River.

Only him alone.
