Chapter 235

He killed with ever-increasing fervor!

Almost every soldier who charged out was smashed to death by him!

By now, not a single soldier dared to stand before him!

All the Xiongnu soldiers, upon seeing him, could only turn and run wildly!

However, in the process of fleeing, some soldiers, in their panic and without choosing their path, stepped right into a swamp!

A swamp!

Such a place cares nothing for whether you are a master or an ordinary person!

Once stepped upon, the surface tension of the swamp is broken, generating a tremendous suction that pulls people inward!

And as the body sinks, panic sets in, causing constant thrashing in an attempt to climb back up!

But below is nothing but soft mud; there is not even a foothold beneath the feet, making it impossible to climb out!

Not only can one not climb out, but the violent thrashing only accelerates the rate of sinking!

Once fully submerged, it is a certain death with no chance of survival!

Fan Kuai watched helplessly as those Xiongnu soldiers struggled and wailed, a sight that chilled his very bones, making him walk ever more cautiously!

But... seeing Li Yuanba charging forward with increasing speed, he was left speechless!

Is Li Yuanba not afraid?

Is he not afraid of the swamp?

Look at the way he is running for his life!

It is as if he thinks the people ahead are running too slowly!

Catch up, and deliver a hammer blow!

Then, without losing speed, charge forward again!

He simply has no fear at all!

At this moment, he even began to suspect that Li Yuanba regretted leaving the Ten-Thousand-Mile Cloudy Horse with Han Xin!

If he had ridden the Ten-Thousand-Mile Cloudy Horse, wouldn't he have charged in long ago?

He thought this silently in his heart.

But Fan Zeng, standing at a high vantage point, was stunned!

"This... this Li Yuanba, he... he is not unafraid of the swamp!"

"He is using the Xiongnu soldiers ahead to clear the path for him!"

Fan Zeng said in shock.

Upon hearing this, Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was utterly dumbfounded!

"Using my Xiongnu soldiers to clear the path for him?"

Fan Zeng pointed toward the running soldiers in the distance and said:

"Look... no matter how wildly he runs, he always follows the direction in which the soldiers are running!"

"As soon as a soldier ahead sinks in, he immediately switches to chasing another!"

"This means there is always someone ahead of him clearing the path!"

"This... this..."

Fan Zeng was so shocked his scalp went numb!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu was equally stunned!

Originally, he thought Li Yuanba possessed only the brute courage of a commoner, but now it seemed this man was also remarkably clever!

Fan Zeng shook his head:

"We cannot let him continue like this! If he keeps going, sooner or later he will follow the soldiers' steps out of the swamp, and once he emerges, it will be all over!"

"With his combat power, we will all be wiped out!"

"Order all soldiers to stop retreating!"

"Order all masters from the Central Plains to move faster; they must set up the ambush as soon as possible!"

He shouted!

Chanyu Modu Chanyu Modu Chanyu listened to his words; although he understood this meant sacrificing this large group of soldiers to stop Li Yuanba's advance, thereby buying time for those Central Plains masters to reach their positions and set the ambush!

Yet, he did not hesitate for a moment, summoning a messenger to deliver his orders!

No retreat!

Anyone who retreats shall be executed without mercy!

The order was issued!

The messenger sprinted away!

In the blink of an eye, the order reached the Xiongnu soldiers ahead who were frantically retreating!

At that moment, they were all stunned!

"This... this means we are to die?"

They were terrified!

But at that moment, there was no hesitation; instead of running, they each turned and charged toward Li Yuanba to kill!

"This... this... good heavens, are these people not afraid of death?"

Fan Kuai was shocked; seizing the moment when Li Yuanba and the army ahead had all stopped, he finally caught up with Li Yuanba at once, and then, together with Li Yuanba, slaughtered all the Xiongnu soldiers!

But at the same time, Xiongnu soldiers were also loosing arrows, shooting to kill the two of them!

But how to put it?

It was useless!

Even though the grassland people's archery, horsemanship, and mounted shooting were all formidable!

But… in front of Li Yuanba, they were truly useless!

The Water-Blocking-Invincible technique activated, smashing every arrow in the rain of arrows to pieces — not a single crossbow bolt could wound Li Yuanba in the slightest!

Even Fan Kuai, who was following behind Li Yuanba, did not suffer a single injury!

"Ba-ge, fierce!"

Fan Kuai praised, then let out a great roar, directly chopping off a Hunnic man's head, and began laughing heartily:

"Hunnic grandsons, come to your Grandpa Fan Kuai!"

He shouted loudly, charging straight ahead of Li Yuanba.

However, the moment he passed Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba grabbed him by the collar and yanked him back, saying to him: "Up ahead is too dangerous!"

He shouted, hoisting his hammers, and charged forward to slaughter the enemy once more!

But doing so thoroughly infuriated Fan Kuai!

Damn it!

What does Ba-ge mean by this?

Does he think I'm a deadweight?

He was furious — after all, he was Fan Kuai!

In the army he was the second fiercest general, famed for his suicidal charges into the enemy lines!

Yet before Li Yuanba, he became a deadweight?

But… there was nothing to be said, after all, it was Li Yuanba!

The number one war god under the Emperor!

Fan Kuai obeyed no one but Li Yuanba!

At that moment, he could only charge along right behind Li Yuanba's butt!

On this side, they charged in a blazing fury!

But the two of them acting like this truly drove Han Xin and Wang Jian to the point of utter exasperation!

Pointing at Li Yuanba in the distance, they roared: "Li Yuanba is usually obedient enough, but at the critical moment, how can he be like this?"

"What does he want, charging in like that?"

"Does he want to take the Hulun Grasslands by himself?"

"What would Laozi want with the Hulun Grasslands?"

"Laozi wants Li Yuanba!"

"A hundred Hulun Grasslands aren't as important as a single Li Yuanba!"

"Destroying the Huns ten thousand times is still not worth a single Li Yuanba!"
