Chapter 432 - 429: Retreat Fast_1
She resolutely charged into the sea of fire with Shen Qingzhu, seeking death with all her heart, yet she did not cry!
But when she saw her eldest sister, for some reason, she felt fragile and vulnerable.
The silver-armored woman on the swift horse, her armor gleaming coldly, nocked an arrow and drew her bow, her face calm as she aimed at Zhao Sheng...
In that brief moment when their eyes met, Zhao Sheng’s eyes widened with shock. Within a split second, his body instinctively reacted by retreating rapidly, rolling to the side. Still, the arrow pierced his collarbone straight through, lodging in the thick armor. The force of it made his head buzz. Had he been a second slower, the arrow would have gone through his throat.
The Bai family guards following closely behind Bai Qingyan raced forward to rescue.
Though she did not kill Zhao Sheng, she forced him to retreat. Bai Qingyan pulled the reins tight, her horse reared, and she leaned down to grab Bai Jinzhi’s outstretched arm, hauling her onto the horse.
Bai Jinzhi lay prone across the horse’s back, turning her head to look at Bai Qingyan and choked out, "Eldest Young Lady!" before she could no longer hold on, her vision darkened, and she passed out.
Lu Ping dismounted, intending to help the heavily bleeding Shen Qingzhu onto his horse, when he saw a Liang soldier raising a knife towards him.
Bai Qingyan drew an arrow from her quiver in a flash, her movements seamless as she nocked, drew, and released it. The arrow swiftly shot through the Liang soldier’s throat. She shouted sternly, "Retreat!"
The sudden appearance of the Bai family guards on horseback caught the Liang Army by surprise. They looked on in shock as the well-trained Bai family guards swiftly pulled the Jin Army soldiers onto their horses and galloped away.
