Chapter 36 - 26: If I Kill, I’m Responsible
Fourteen men closed in step by step from three directions.
The fierce horse neighed loudly, but under Chen Yi’s control, it lowered its head, charging forward without hesitation.
Like a formation-breaking assault, intimidating enough for anyone to dread. Even though the Brocade Guards possessed martial arts prowess, they were still flesh and blood. The guards blocking the way retreated to both sides and raised their blades to slash at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi tightened his grip on the blade, drawing an arc in mid-air. The throat of the guard nearest to his right was already marked by a thin line of blood.
Behind him, blades descended with the sound of rushing wind, slashing his back. His official robe split instantly, but his spine was like iron, leaving only a faint trail of blood.
Chen Yi spun abruptly, his left hand lunging outward, catching another guard off-guard. He forcefully gripped the guard’s head, pushed away, and followed through with a ferocious punch. The impact shattered the guard’s nose bridge, leaving his face drenched in blood.
"He’s on horseback—cut the horse’s legs!"
Wang Gu shouted.
A group of guards closed in, aiming their strikes at the horse’s legs. But Chen Yi slapped the horse with his blade, urging it forward. The guards’ attacks all missed.
A broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted guard immediately leaped onto his own horse, roaring as he charged at Chen Yi.
