Ro Lin appeared like a deity under the golden clouds, his Ki glowed around his body. He pulled out his glaive and headed straight for the hill.
SFX: NEIGH
He ascended the hill with his horse, Riqui, and with a sharp glaive, he appeared like a soul reaper in front of each of the Wei soldiers. In an instant, he moved his glaive around, giving a bloodbath for all the Wei soldiers around him. In a single swing, he slashed all of them.
More and more soldiers appeared before him, but he effortlessly slashed every one of them and headed for Si Yan, who resided at the top, resting peacefully in his tent.
"Si Yan!! I am coming for you!!" he shouted while climbing the hill.
His monstrous Ki made all the infantry fall to their knees. The enemy cavalry couldn't keep up with his speed.
No soldier could even touch him, before they even saw him, he disappeared from their sight.
Before they even desired to kill him, his ki destroyed their will.
Before they moved, they would be on their knees.
Like a monarch, he dominated the hill and continued his pursuit of Si Yan.
***********
Zenshi had divided his unit into 3 groups. The first group, along with the lieutenant, will stay there to stop any army that comes to hunt them. The second group will retreat for the day, back to Lingbi and report the situation to the state. The third group will be an intermediary who would stay between the retreating first and second groups to outsmart any generals who would assault them.
"Zenshi, is the situation that serious, that you can't plot anything?" the lieutenant asked Zenshi.
"There is no escape from Si Yan; he played dangerously, and now we are trapped"
Zenshi explained the situation to the lieutenant about how they were trapped in the forest, and their every move should be calculated.
"Without a doubt, Si Yan has sensed my ki", said Zenshi.
SFX: THUD
"Someone is coming!"
A member of the third group emerged from the bushes, in a rush to inform Zenshi of the unfortunate incident.
"Commander Zenshi! We are trapped! As I speak, the third group is being wiped out by the Wei army"
"As I thought, it's the Wei army..."
Zenshi's premonition was perfect; he had understood that he was playing with fire. A wildfire that is capable of destroying the whole forest.
"Some of the enemy soldiers are chasing the second group!" With a pale face, he informed Zenshi.
****************
The second unit traversed along the dry and dusty plains, away from the forest. They got a glimpse of enemy soldiers who were following them. Every second they were getting nearer, they couldn't increase their speed anymore.
"Bi! They are behind us!"
The navigator shouted, informing the leader and the rest of the group.
"Shut up and move!" another man ordered.
"Nong, do you believe in miracles?" the leader asked while riding the horse at his full strength.
"What the hell are you talking about, Bi!?"
SFX: SHRP!
An arrow hit Bi, destroying his armour, and it had already pierced into his flesh.
"Bi!!"
"I believe that the heavens will send someone!"
The enemies had almost caught up to them. The terror was evident in the faces of the horsemen. In that adversity, Bi laughed, and he continued to ride the horse with burning determination.
SFX: SHRIP!
Another came, destroying Bi's armour and piercing into his skin. Blood flew out through his armour, but still he rode fearlessly.
"Bi..."
Tears rolled down from Nong's eyes as he saw Bi's suffering. All the others had lost their will to ride till Lingbi. Everyone saw the face of death in their minds. Like a grim reaper's scythe, the enemy soldiers caught up to them.
But that moment....
Heaven's opened....
Far away in a horse appeared someone, due to the dust only a dark figure was only visible, and he said something....
"Hekireki..."
In an instant, he appeared behind the group and slashed the head of an enemy soldier.
"Who is that?" the surprised Nong asked everyone and looked back.
The person was wearing a strange black headband, the name slipped out of his mouth...
"Thousand Victories...?"
The dust cleared to reveal Wan Heian's face. He held Ao tight in his hands. His ever-glowing eyes stared right at the enemy's eyes.
"Shall we begin?" he asked the enemy soldiers.
****************
Slashing the heads of the enemies, and by painting his galive red. Ro Lin had already reached the top of the hill. On the way lie thousands of dead soldiers, blood pooling around them.
Before Si Yan's tent, Ro Ling stood like a venegful vagabond. His Ki terrorised all of the strategists inside the tent. Forcing them to move out of it.
Thus, he called out for his enemy...
"Come out, Si Yan!!!!"
In a moment, it felt as if a cyclone had enveloped the whole place. The surge of Ki from the tent made everyone fall to their knees. Si Yan's biceps bulged, and he swung the glaive with intent to slash at Si Yan's head, along with the tent.
Before he even executed his intention, a violent heliotrope thunderbolt slashed away his horse's head. Ro Lin plunged from his horse; behind him stood a figure. His Ki had shattered the ground on which he stood.
"Si Yan!!"
SFX: CLANG!
In an instant, both of them clashed their blades, with fire in their eyes. They withdrew their bodies and clashed again. Si Yan's violet eyes glowed like a demon; the strongest violet Ki enveloped his body, dominating the field and bending forces of nature.
Seeing that, a single thought crept inside Ro Lin's mind...
"That Ki...? He is a Zen user?"
"Since when?"
The demonic figure, who stood before him, spoke...
"I hope you have already figured it out, Ro Lin", said Si Yan.
Ro Ling's muscles bulged, and he mustered his monstrous strength. Like thunderstorms, he rushed to slash Si Yan's head.
Si Yan threw away his sword and lifted his hands before Ro Lin. Giving only one message.
Come at me with everything, I want eliminate you with my very own hands...
