Chapter 233 - Bodhisattva Unbound
"Withdraw the troops?!" Even though Murong Buguan had mentally prepared himself, he couldn't help but change his expression upon hearing Xue Qiming's demand.
Before Murong could respond, Wangyue Pi, who was lying at Xue Qiming's feet, suddenly became agitated. He extended a struggling hand and mumbled indistinctly, "No! Don't!"
"Behave yourself!" Xue Qiming spat. Infuriated, he delivered another kick to Wangyue Pi's side, causing the general to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Wangyue Pi swallowed the rest of his words. It didn't look like he planned on speaking again.
Murong Buguan and the others were filled with anger witnessing their general's suffering up close. Fearing Xue Qiming's skill and Wangyue Pi's life, they could only glare at him from a distance.
"Alright, alright." Xue Qiming waved dismissively, frowning. "I'm running out of patience. Are you withdrawing or not? If not, your general's life is forfeit, think carefully."
Murong steeled himself and gritted his teeth to agree to the terms when a loud shout came from behind.
"We will not withdraw! We cannot retreat!"
Everyone turned to see a small figure stumbling out from the army formation. Who else could it be but Guarjia Aduo?
Seeing Guarjia Aduo running over while panting, Xue Qiming furrowed his brow even deeper. "And who the hell is this? Who let this runt slip out of their pants?"
It seemed Xue Qiming was truly out of patience. Seeing Guarjia Aduo nearing, he reached out and grabbed Wangyue Pi by the hair, lifting him up and clamping his left hand tightly around his throat.
