en replaced by disbelief.And onlookers all came over too.At first, they came with the intention of watching Li Chen make a fool of himself, but as Li Chen wrote, each stroke was imbued with spirit, po...Chapter 1449: Not Even the Heavenly King Can Control This

Ye Wang and Li Chen were no more than a zhang apart.

And Wu Ban Shan, in order to protect Li Chen from accidents, though behind him, was also close within half a zhang of Li Chen.

At such close proximity, and having taken advantage of his opponent's carelessness, Wu Ban Shan's arrow shot out with a sonic boom.

With a muffled thud, in the blink of an eye, the jet-black iron arrow had pierced deep into Ye Wang's mount's forehead.

Even the most magnificent warhorse is still just a mortal animal. That Xuan iron arrow was two feet and nine inches long, which in modern units would be close to a meter.

But under Wuban Shan's divine power, this nearly one-meter long Xuan iron arrow, driven into the forehead of the warhorse, only left a cluster of arrowtail trembling outside.

Such a blow would kill not only a horse, but even a real elephant on the spot.

The warhorse let out a mournful cry, and with a dull thud collapsed to the ground.

Amidst the billowing smoke, Ye Wang was both shocked and enraged. His horse reared up, throwing him from its back. He leaped to safety, taking two staggering steps backward before managing to disperse the force of the impact.

When he had straightened his helmet and saw the gruesome sight of his warhorse lying dead, Ye Wang, overcome with shock and rage, let out a roar like that of a wild bear.

Clang!

Ye Wang drew his war knife from his waist, his whole body like a furious bear, his anger boiling over.

"General Ye, do not!"

Li Songru only had time to say that much before Ye Wang, his head filled with rage, rushed at him.

Seeing the surrounding cavalry eager to help Ye Wang, Li Songru only felt a numb scalp. He shouted sharply: "Without General Wuben's order, those who act on their own will be punished by military law and will surely be beheaded! Who dares to move!"

Although Li Songru couldn't control Ye Wang, his prestige within the Yan Yun Sixteen Cavalry army was still unshakeable. Those cavalrymen indeed held back their restlessness and no one dared to act rashly.

Before Li Songru could finish his sentence, Ye Wang had already dashed to Li Chen's side.

The saber slashed wildly, drawing arcs around Ye Wang, creating a few flourishes that were not ostentatious but whose blade glinted with cold lethality, each movement infused with deadly intent.

Even though Ye Wang was enraged, he wasn't bold enough to point a blade at Li Chen. So all his deadly moves were aimed at Wu Ban Shan, the one who started this mess.

Only Li Chen and Wu Ban Shan were close enough that there was no guarantee of avoiding collateral damage.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

Xu Wei and Wu Ban Shan shouted in unison, the two dividing their duties clearly. Xu Wei guarded Li Chen fiercely, while Wu Ban Shan, using his bow as a substitute for a sword, blocked Ye Wang's saber.

Ye Wang and Wu Ban Shan didn't exchange a single unnecessary word, they immediately jumped into battle.

Li Chen stood his ground, refusing to retreat. He stared intently at the battle between Wu Ban Shan and Ye Wang.

These two men were both veterans of the military, their martial arts skills were extremely formidable. The biggest difference between them and other martial artists was that their techniques were designed for killing, not for display or self-defense. Every move they made was aimed at a vital point, attacking the opponent's weak points with powerful, open strikes.

Two burly men trembled together, their fists and feet moving in a flurry of blows. The air whistled with the sound of each strike, kicking up sand that formed a pale yellow haze. For a moment, Ye Wang and Wu Ban Shan fought to a standstill.

"Wu Ban Shan's fist slammed out, but was blocked by Ye Wang's crossed arms. The two took two steps back, relying on each other's force. Wu Ban Shan roared, "Ye Wang! Do you know what you are doing You are dragging yourself and the entire Yan Yun Sixteen Riders into the abyss!"

Ye Wang laughed wildly, his voice like thunder: "You killed my warhorse, I'll take your head! Even the Heavenly King can't stop me!"uation, but now the name Zhou Changshou has become King Ning's sore spot, naturally no one dares to touch it."You all leave now."Ning Wang cast his gaze over the crowd, finally lingering on Li Songru...
