Chapter 247 A Man Shouldn’t Be So Wishy-Washy (2)
“Is that so?” Meng Bai said coldly. “The winner hasn’t been decided yet. You’re talking too soon.”
“You’re a smart man. Stop struggling.”
The general said indifferently, “Otherwise, I don’t mind killing all of you.
“Leave the You Marquis, Zhou Shu, behind, and I can spare your lives.”
There was no emotion in the man’s hoarse voice, as if he were stating a fact.
As he spoke, his entire body was surrounded by a blood-red aura.
It was a materialized murderous aura.
“You can try,” Meng Bai said coldly, “Guards! Set up the rear. Fight!”
“Fight!” Chen Ji shouted and raised the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. The diplomatic mission’s guards quickly moved and formed a military formation. In the diplomatic mission, Shi Songtao and the other non-combatants also held weapons and stared at the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry with red eyes.
“Go!”
Zhou Shu was about to step forward when he suddenly heard Meng Bai’s voice.
Before he could finish speaking, Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang had already grabbed Zhou Shu’s hands and were about to take him away.
At the same time, Meng Bai had already charged at the general of the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry again.
He spread his arms like an eagle and crossed a hundred feet to appear directly in front of the general. His body exploded with light.
Boom!
The general raised his hand and blocked Meng Bai’s broken saber with his long saber. He took the opportunity to slash at Meng Bai’s chest.
Meng Bai lowered the hilt of his knife to block the attack.
At the same time, he kicked the general’s tiger demonic beast.
Boom!
Meng Bai retreated, and the general chased after him on his tiger.
At the same time, Chen Ji led the guards and fought the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry again.
The Great Xia diplomatic mission’s guards intentionally or unintentionally blocked the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry away from Zhou Shu.
The Great Xia diplomatic mission was using themselves to buy time for Zhou Shu to retreat!
“Let go!” Zhou Shu shouted without moving his feet.
“Zhou Shu! Now is not the time to be impulsive!” Yin Wuyou said anxiously. “The other party has two first-rank martial artists. The great general won’t be able to hold them back for long!
“As long as there’s life, there’s hope. Don’t let everyone’s sacrifices be meaningless!”
Yin Wuyou pulled Zhou Shu, wanting to retreat.
But however hard she pulled, Zhou Shu didn’t move an inch.
Lu Wenshuang was the same. She turned around and said, “As a man, don’t be wishy-washy! Staying here will only make them die faster to protect you!”
With Lu Wenshuang’s personality, saying so much was already an exception.
Zhou Shu suddenly smiled.
“You’re right.” Zhou Shu said. “Why am I being so wishy-washy?
“I am a reasonable person, but I don’t have to be reasonable when others are unreasonable.”
His arms shook.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang felt their palms go numb. Zhou Shu’s hands had already left their palms.
Before the two of them could react, Zhou Shu had already turned around and walked the toward battle between the Great Xia diplomatic mission and the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry.
“No!” Yin Wuyou exclaimed. She drew her sword and chased after him.
Lu Wenshuang frowned slightly as she looked at Zhou Shu’s back. A strange look suddenly flashed across her eyes.
It makes sense. How could a man who could use the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique be a coward?
His current appearance matches the temperament of the Astounding Heavenly Eighteen Swords Technique.
Swish!
Shi Songtao dodged desperately, but the wolf’s claws still left a few marks on his chest.
He was slightly out of breath, and there was fear in his eyes, but he didn’t take even half a step back.
He was not a combatant. Although his Martial Dao cultivation wasn’t weak, he didn’t have much combat experience.
This scene today should be the most tragic scene he had ever experienced in his life.
He was not a seasoned warrior, and he was also afraid.
The demonic beast was as tall as a human. It had sharp teeth and a foul stench when it opened its mouth. How could an ordinary person not be afraid?
But even though he was afraid, he didn’t escape. He insisted on fighting with his companions.
He couldn’t escape. If he did, what if the Great Xia diplomatic mission couldn’t stop them?
At this moment, although he was unwilling to admit it, he had to admit that if only one person in the Great Xia diplomatic mission could escape, this person should be Zhou Shu. He was more valuable to Great Xia.
Boom!
Shi Songtao knocked back a Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry soldier with a slash of his sword. The wound in his chest ruptured, and blood stained his clothes.
At this moment, another Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry soldier attacked from the side. The leopard cavalry was extremely fast, and his saber light was like lightning, blinding Shi Songtao.
The saber was aimed at Shi Songtao’s neck. Shi Songtao couldn’t dodge in time.
The next moment, his head would fly into the sky.
Suddenly, there was a dull thud.
The saber suddenly stopped in the air less than a foot away from Shi Songtao’s neck.
There was only a pause. Then Shi Songtao saw the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry who had ambushed him fly out with a whoosh.
Shi Songtao had good eyesight. He could see clearly that the chest of the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry had caved in. He was in the air, and blood was already pouring out of his seven orifices like running water.
He obviously wouldn’t have survived.
Awoo—
The roars of the demonic beasts entered Shi Songtao’s ears.
He came back to his senses and focused his gaze. He saw that the mount of the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry who had just ambushed him, a yellow leopard demonic beast, had its front leg grabbed, swung in a circle, and slammed on the ground.
There was a loud rumble. Shi Songtao felt his heart tremble. It felt painful just watching…
The leopard demonic beast shrieked. Blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, and two streams of bloody tears flowed down its eyes. Its breathing gradually slowed down, and it was soon unable to move.
“Mar-Marquis…” Shi Songtao stammered.
Who else could it be but Zhou Shu?
“Be careful, Old Shi. Don’t die!” Zhou Shu said without turning around.
He stepped forward and leaped to the front of the next Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry. With another punch, Zhou Shu smashed the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry into the ground. Just like that, with every step and every punch, a Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry was sent flying
With every punch, a Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry soldier would either die or be injured.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang, who were chasing after him, were dumbfounded.
They could also easily kill Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry.
But why did Zhou Shu’s method make their hearts race?
After they hesitated slightly, Zhou Shu was already dozens of feet away from them.
Further ahead was where Meng Bai and the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry general were fighting
A battle between first-rank martial artists was extremely grand. The Great Xia guards and the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry all tacitly distanced themselves from the battle zone.
But Zhou Shu was now heading there.
Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang were shocked and quickened their pace.
The two of them used the same sword technique. Sword light flashed as they killed Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry one after another. The pressure on the Great Xia diplomatic mission’s guards immediately decreased.
“Don’t be arrogant!” With a few shouts, a few Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry experts surrounded the two women, forcing them to slow down.
Yin Wuyou’s footsteps were blocked as she shouted anxiously, “Zhou Shu, no!”
Zhou Shu sent a Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry soldier flying with a punch. He turned around and glanced at Yin Wuyou. “Help the guards. I’ll help the great general.”
Before he could finish, Meng Bai flew backward and appeared in front of everyone. His right shoulder was a bloody mess.
The general of the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry rose into the air and pounced at Meng Bai at lightning speed.
The saber light and the tiger demonic beast’s claws intertwined, and they were about to kill Meng Bai.
Suddenly, a figure appeared between Meng Bai and the Tiger Leopard Wolf Cavalry in a blur.
A door-like sword slashed horizontally, blocking the tiger demonic beast’s sharp claws.
Clank!
The enormous tiger demonic beast was forced dozens of steps back.
And the figure who had suddenly appeared was straight-backed and unmoving.
“Today, I’ll be a man and fight to my heart’s content.”
His voice echoed in the sky above the battlefield as sword light tore through the sky and slashed at the enemy general.
