Chapter 1444

"Pfft!"

Tuoba Lie suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and a gruesome scar appeared on his chest.

"Damn you!"

Tuoba Lie cursed angrily and thrust the spear in his hand deep into Xia Yu's body.

Unfortunately, it did not pierce very far.

"Huff~~"

Meanwhile, Xia Yu also swung the long blade in his hand down, and Tuoba Lie's head flew straight off.

"Whoosh!"

Blood splattered all over the ground, but that head flew straight toward Xia Yu.

"Boom~~"

A burst of violent energy exploded, instantly blowing the head into four pieces and five parts, turning it into a shower of fragments floating in the sky.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

Seeing this, Yuchi Gong shouted with great joy; the power Xia Yu had displayed was enough to put his mind at ease.

As long as Xia Yu was here, even against a thousand armies and ten thousand horses, he would not fear.

"Enough, continue the siege!"

"Yes!"

"Whoosh~~"

A sharp arrow cut through the sky, carrying terrifying power straight for Xia Yu's face.

"Buzz~~"

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand trembled slightly, as if sensing immense danger; it wanted to break free from Xia Yu and leave this place.

"Stay put!"

Xia Yu let out a low shout, pinned it down firmly, and then raised his head.

"Crack~ Crack~~"

On his arm, a layer of black scales suddenly emerged; Xia Yu's right arm became tough and sharp, comparable to a spiritual artifact, and this time, it did not disappear again.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal colliding rang out; a fine steel treasure bow appeared in Xia Yu's right hand, and clamped between his right fingers was that long arrow.

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~"

This long arrow was precisely the one that had just been shot at him.

Xia Yu gripped the bowstring with his left hand and pulled it hard; the bow instantly bent into an arc, and then he released the string.

"Whoosh~~"

A black arrow shot straight out, and at the same time, the spear in Tuoba Lie's hand thrust hard into Xia Yu's body.

Yet his eyes were filled with shock, because this made no sense at all; the opponent had clearly been hit by his killing move, so why was he still unharmed?

"Ding~ Ding~ Ding~"

The sound of three consecutive pearls rang endlessly; Xia Yu's figure flashed instantly, and those sharp arrows pierced through his afterimages, while Xia Yu's body remained completely unscathed.

However, this level could not harm Xia Yu; he pushed off with his toe and instantly closed in on Tuoba Lie.

"Bang~~"

His right fist smashed hard into Tuoba Lie's body, and immense power erupted.

"Ahhh~~"

A cry of agony rang out; Tuoba Lie's body flew backward, crashing heavily to the ground, with blood oozing from his mouth and nose, one arm dangling limply from his shoulder; clearly, that arm was broken.

"Tuoba King!"

At this moment, the Xiongnu man following behind him finally could not hold back and jumped out.

"Bold one, kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Xia Yu said sternly, and his words exploded like Lei Ting.

"Pfft~~"

This Xiongnu man felt as if something had slammed hard into his chest, then he spat out a mist of blood and fell straight down to the ground.

"Swish~~"

Behind Tuoba Lie, another Xiongnu warrior jumped out, but before he could even stand steady, Xia Yu's figure appeared before his eyes again.

"Smack~~"

His right hand reached out and slapped hard across the man's cheek, sending him flying straight away.

"Pfft~~"

This Xiongnu warrior spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.

"You!"

The remaining Xiongnu soldiers all looked at Xia Yu with indignation, but dared not advance.

"What do you mean 'you'? I am the current Grand Jin Tianche Prefecture Commander, Grand Jin General of the Cavalry Xia Yu! You Menzhe Gang of dog thieves, surrender your lives!"

Having spoken, Xia Yu flicked the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in his hand, and it directly severed the necks of this group of Xiongnu soldiers.

Blood sprayed out, and the soldiers under his command all fell.

With one slash, he annihilated a hundred and ten Xiongnu troops.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

At this moment, Yuchi Gong roared with excitement; their Northern Lions would finally achieve merit and establish their careers, and this glory belonged to the Great Han!

…………

"Hahaha~~"

Meanwhile, the distant Tuoba Lie burst into wild laughter.

He never dreamed that, just as the Xiongnu iron cavalry was trampling the lands of the Great Han, he would meet his end, his sword broken and buried in the sand, on this hard bone of the Great Xia.

Moreover, he died in humiliation, he died in cowardice!

He hated it!

Who was he? He was the Lord of the Xiongnu, the most formidable existence within the Great Xiongnu royal clan. Once upon a time, he was so spirited and high-spirited, leading the Xiongnu to campaign in the Southern Frontiers and the Western Regions, slaughtering every king of the Great Han states, seizing the Great Han Jiangshan, and forcing the Great Han people to live in a barbaric world with no escape.

As long as he wished, the world of the Great Han was within his grasp; yet he had not yet enjoyed that supreme throne, had not yet seen the beautiful scenery of the Great Han, how could he bear to die?

"Your Majesty!"

Tuoba Lie's guard commander stepped forward.

"Issue the order: the entire army retreats thirty li!"

Tuoba Lie gave the command in a gloomy tone; he was afraid, truly afraid, for he knew he was no match for that man.

"Yes!"

The guard commander turned and left, while Tuoba Lie sat down cross-legged to regulate his breath and heal his injuries.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, it is bad news! Xia Yu has already led the cavalry to pursue us!"

Tuoba Lie's guard hurriedly ran over to report, but his face was pale, his forehead covered in sweat; he was clearly terrified.

"Xia Yu! He is actually still alive!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, what shall we do?"

The ministers asked with faces full of worry.

"Hehe, what shall we do? Nothing! Since he wants to fight, then I will fight him!"

"No, Your Majesty, your body still needs rest. I will immediately gather all the troops to meet the enemy, guaranteeing that Xia Yu will come but never return!"

Tuoba Batian made the final decision; although Xia Yu was very powerful, Tuoba Batian believed that with his own troops, he could certainly hold him off.

"Hmph, these disorganized mobs, I think we shall leave them here! You all withdraw first!"

Having spoken, he closed his eyes and began to regulate his breath, for after this fierce battle, he bore heavy wounds.

And at this moment, Tuoba Lie was also waiting, waiting for reinforcements; his reinforcements were about to arrive, and Xia Yu must die here; this was his only chance to turn the tables, as long as he could survive this ordeal.

"Boom~ Boom~ Boom~"

Suddenly, the sound of war drums beating grew even more intense.

"Clatter~ Clatter~ Clatter~~"

Thousands of infantrymen, carrying scaling ladders, charged forward; each of them held long spears, shields, and crossbows, surging toward Xia Yu like a tide.

A cold smile appeared on the corner of Xia Yu's mouth; he had already grown impatient waiting.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
