Chapter 94: The Unexpected (2)
During this battle, even the frivolous Su Shuai froze. He didn't know about others, but he seemed to have seen something he shouldn't have seen. Was it an illusion? This thought lingered in Su Shuai's mind for a long time.
However, on the city wall.
“…That’s amazing.”
The soldiers were still frightened after seeing Yang Shi chop off the local general's head so cleanly. The general beside him watched Yang Shi return to the city without saying a word.
Wu army camp.
"Master Su, I will fight on your behalf from now on, shall I?"
A cavalry soldier rode up slowly from the rear, dressed in black. He seemed slightly different from the other soldiers. The aura he exuded was completely out of tune with the people around him. Who was this person?
“…Go ahead.”
Faced with the black soldiers' request to fight, Commander Su hesitated a little, and from his expression it seemed that he was not willing?
"Then I will go. Marshal Su, please be prepared to attack at any time."
The black-clad soldier left a word and then slowly stepped forward, leaving no room for Su Shuai to object. From his attitude, it seemed that he didn't take Su Shuai seriously? His words immediately ignited a flame in Su Shuai's eyes.
When the black-clad soldiers slowly rode their horses to the middle distance, the city gate opened again and the soldiers representing the battle came out.
"Who are you?"
The soldier in black, holding a spear, spoke slowly, his attitude was extremely arrogant.
"I am a soldier from Liancheng, Lei Yan. May I ask you, Your Excellency?"
"Humph, a dying person doesn't need to know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-clad soldier rode his horse towards Lei Yan at an incredibly fast speed, and the spear in his hand stabbed straight at Lei Yan at lightning speed. Lei Yan immediately drew his sword to block the black-clad soldier's attack, and just as he blocked the black-clad soldier's attack, he changed the direction of his spear and attacked Lei Yan again. The speed was unimaginable, but Lei Yan still avoided it. Then there were more continuous straight stabs. From the speed and offensive, it was not difficult to see that the black-clad soldier was extraordinary, and Lei Yan was almost completely suppressed.
As soon as the round ended, the two men had already distanced themselves from each other.
"Oh? Not bad, you can actually dodge it."
The black-clad soldier looked at Lei Yan with a smile, his breathing was not disrupted at all after launching that attack; on the other hand, Lei Yan had a long bloodstain on his face, but he didn't say anything, and his breathing was also not disrupted.
"General, you are too kind. It was just a coincidence that I was able to dodge your attack."
Ignoring the wound on his face, Lei Yan returned politely.
"Coincidence? Humph, you are not Liancheng, nor a soldier of the Xu Kingdom, right?"
"General, you really like to joke. I am going to fight at a time like this. If I am not a soldier of the State of Xu, then what am I?"
Lei Yan's answer made the calmness on the black-clothed soldiers' faces turn into caution, and their arrogance just now was restrained. They stared at Lei Yan seriously, as if they were observing?
"Actually, I should be the one asking this question. I don't sense any trace of Wu Jun from the general."
The black-clothed soldier was slightly startled, and his entire aura changed completely. He looked like two completely different people. Lei Yan's words had let the black-clothed soldier know that his opponent was extraordinary and should not be underestimated!
"It seems that I really underestimated you. In this case, there is no need to hide. Show your full strength."
"I also think it should be so."
In an instant, both in Liancheng and the Wu army camp noticed the atmosphere around the two people between the two armies; then, the black-clothed soldiers threw down their spears and drew their swords, which attracted the attention of General Su.
The black-clad soldier and Lei Yan stared at each other, and then, in an instant, both of them stepped on their horses' backs at the same time, jumped up, and attacked each other. In a flash of lightning, it was dazzling. From the air to the ground, no one ignored the other. The two sides fought hard and were evenly matched...
Seeing the two fighting, Commander Su raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very surprised? The generals around him all expressed their admiration.
“That’s amazing.”
"Who is that person?"
"Isn't it? Both he and the other party's representative are really skilled."
"With such skills, he is just an ordinary soldier. Could it be that Liancheng has other more powerful generals?"
While listening to the discussions of his subordinates, General Su's eyes never left the two people fighting. He was very sure of the strength of the man representing Wu Jun, but what he didn't expect was the strength of his opponent. He simply couldn't believe it. It was impossible to let him go. The facts were in front of him. The two people in front of him were simply masters among masters. In terms of strength, how many people in his Wu army could stop them?
Like Commander Su, someone on the city wall also had the same opinion...
"General, this—?"
As an ordinary soldier, he stared at the two people fighting evenly under the city with his eyes wide open. Such a fierce battle was completely different from what he had seen before. It was simply a martial arts master! The general on the side could also see it, but his expression was stable, as if it was not surprising. It could even be said that he knew something. Whether it was for his own people or the enemy, he didn't know why he thought so, just intuitively!
"…Go get ready."
The general, who seemed to be high and mighty, suddenly spoke, but the people around him seemed to be completely attracted by the fight at hand and did not respond to his words.
"Can't you hear me?"
"Ah, w-what general?"
Helplessly, the general had to raise his voice to bring his subordinates back to their senses.
"I told you to get ready. The Wu army has already started preparing to attack the city."
"Huh?"
After hearing the general's words, the subordinates looked curiously towards the Wu army camp in front of the city wall , but they couldn't make out anything and were a little confused.
