Chapter 555 - Interception
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The army marched on the plains like a long snake!
Wugusa was immersed in worry about the impending negotiation with Dark Razor Tribe. Just forty or so kilometers from this army, Yan Liqiang was speeding towards this Dark Wood Tribe army.
Yan Liqiang didn’t ride any horse; he was running in the grass. In the sky above Yan Liqiang, Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon was spinning around like a satellite pointing directions for Yan Liqiang allowing him to evade the scouts of the Dark Wood Tribe.
Just then, a squad of twenty or so scouts rode past 100 meters from Yan Liqiang. When they rode past, Yan Liqiang just laid in the tall grass and didn’t move. After they left, he rose up and charged forward.
Those scouts were defending against the army of Dark Razor Tribe. They would never expect that there would be a person to dare to look for trouble with their army alone.
From a birds-eye view, Yan Liqiang’s path was like a sharp arrow pointing straight towards the front of the Dark Wood tribe.
Yan Liqiang had a dark cloth covering his face at this moment. He held a hundred-picul Horned Python Bow. Carrying the bow on his back would make the bow higher than his head. Thus, he held the bow on his hands. The bow was wrapped in dark cloth. Even those who had seen him at the Heavenly Lake wouldn’t be able to recognize his hundred-picul bow.
Yan Liqiang’s figure was fast like an arrow and traversed the grass quickly. There were only the sounds of the wind passing by his ear as well as his clothes brushing past the grass.
Half an hour later, Yan Liqiang stopped at a small hill that was tens of meters above the ground.
There were wild lilies all over the hill, and the dense grass was waist height. Two hundred meters from the hill was a boundless lake. This lake was the biggest lake on the Gulang Plains, the White Grass Lake. The entire lake had an area of 3,000 square kilometers. The negotiations tomorrow were to be conducted on the other side of the lake.
After running for tens of kilometers, Yan Liqiang half knelt in the grass and slowly calmed down his breathing before taking out a black-runed arrow and waited patiently.
If he didn’t know about the negotiations, then it was fine. But since he did, how could Yan Liqiang allow both sides to continue the negotiations? The more chaotic the Shatu people were, the better it was for him…
“Chief, there’s a situation in the air…” The old priest of Dark Wood Tribe rode over to Wugusa and pointed at the sky.
“What’s the situation?” Wugusa raised his head and glanced at the sky. Their two eagles were still soaring in the air but seemed to have left the path that the army had set. They flew to the sides and didn’t dare to go ahead.
“There seems to be a ferocious bird in the air scaring off the eyes we put in the sky…” The old priest narrowed his eyes. He pointed at a region of the sky where the eyes couldn’t even see clearly, “There’s a Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon over there. The two eyes I placed there have been scared away…”
Wugusa looked up too at the direction the old priest pointed to. However, with his eyes, he pretty much couldn’t see anything at that distance, but he believed the old priest. This was because the two eyes in the sky were the old priest’s eyes. If he couldn’t see it, that meant that the two eyes in the sky couldn’t see it either. “Can the Dark Razor Tribe people tame Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon?”
The old priest hesitated before shaking his head, “They can’t. The Fiery-Eyed Golden Falcon is a rare beast. The priest of Dark Razor Tribe doesn’t have the power to be able to tame it. I’ve never heard of anyone who’s been able to tame it!”
“Since the Dark Razor Tribe can’t tame it, then what are we worried about!” Wugusa looked around. The scouts didn’t send back alarms so he waved his hand, “It’s alright, continue marching. We’ll see the White Grass Lake in a while…”
The Dark Wood Tribe soldiers continued marching forward.
Looking at the army that had come near a thousand meters of him, Yan Liqiang’s sharp eyes scanned across that army.
He hadn’t seen Wugusa, but Morbeto had seen Wugusa so it wasn’t very hard for Yan Liqiang to find Wugusa. Soon, Yan Liqiang’s eyes focused and locked onto Wugusa’s position in the squad.
Wugusa was on the rhinodrake steed chatting with a young person next to him.
Yan Liqiang took a deep breath and slowly drew his hundred-picul Horned Python Bow three quarters of the way.
With the power of the hundred-picul Horned Python Bow, three quarters was more than enough.
The dark runed arrow carried a sliver of cold ray and locked onto Wugusa.
There was no lightning or some shocking commotion. The light breath blew across the plains and the White Grass Lake emitted a harmonic light. There were a few happy bees buzzing on the wild lilies next to Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang let go of the bowstring and the black runed arrow instantly flew towards Wugusa silently like the smile of death…
“Tonight, we’ll set camp next to White Grass Lake and rest up…” Wugusa was speaking to Gedan and suddenly he felt uneasy. Before he could react…
Thud…! The Dark Wood Tribe Chief, Wugusa’s head suddenly exploded. The guards behind him that were in a straight line also fell from their horses.
Gedan didn’t even know what happened. That instant, he just felt a breath of wind blow past him and then Wugusa and a few guards next to him fell from their horses. The frightened rhinodrake steeds’ whimpers created chaos in the nearby vicinity.
The ground was covered in blood and Wugusa’s body only had half a bloody head. Even the gods couldn’t save him now.
“Assassin…” Gedan roared furiously. The entire army was startled into chaos…
“Over there…” Someone saw Yan Liqiang got up from a small hill and ran towards White Grass Lake.
Countless Dark Wood Tribe cavalry roared in fury as they charged over at Yan Liqiang with reddened eyes…
