Chapter 214 - Desolate Liangzhou (Part Fourteen)
The battlefield was shrouded in an stifling silence. Other than the relentless rain, no other sounds could be heard.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the blademaster with a bamboo hat. They watched as he calmly pulled his blade from Lin Zhongbao's skull, wiped the blood from its edge without a trace of emotion, and then turned to survey his surroundings as if what he had done was a trivial matter.
"Is the general is dead?" a cautious voice asked from the circle of stupefied soldiers. That question was like a stone tossed into a still pond, stirring waves of shock.
The silence shattered. The news spread like a wildfire.
"The general was assassinated!"
"How is that possible?!"
"Quick, report to Commander Bear!"
"Avenge the general!"
"Kill him!"
"He has an accomplice!"
Xue Qiming had been wary of the surrounding soldiers all along. Initially, these men had been too intimidated by Ye Beizhi to act, but now, after realizing what had happened, they raised their weapons against Xue Qiming once more.
