Chapter 24: Steadfast as a Mountain

steps or so, also followed up from the back after the cavalry began their charge.As Zhang Liyang himself said, he was not a military man and did not understand command, so all he could do was to follo...In the military, efficiency is paramount. Therefore, all techniques are streamlined, discarding any flashy moves. The focus is on being fast, ruthless, and accurate!

Although Zhang Liyang only spent a few short days studying with Xiao He Shan, the things he learned in those few days were incredibly profound for him, like painting on a blank canvas.

His moves were as swift as lightning, his strength as mighty as a collapsing mountain!

Every strike targets the opponent's vital points, each palm infused with the power of the Burning Gold Divine Ability. Each attack decides between life and death!

Under just a few shots, several pursuers across from Zhang Liyang fell.

Zhang Liyang's massacre did not deter the pursuing soldiers, but instead more people surrounded him, wanting to bring Zhang Liyang down from his horse.

Ma Zhan was unfamiliar with Zhang Liyang's natural fighting style, so Zhang Liyang was basically in a semi-floating state. Once he landed, he would use his warhorse as a fulcrum to rise into the air again.

When the other side had too many people, Zhang Liyang began to feel overwhelmed.

whoosh~

A blade of moonlight flashed through the air, its sharp edge aimed straight for Zhang Liyang's head.

Bang!~

With a palm strike, Zhang Liyang sent the pursuing soldiers flying. There was no time for him to dodge the blade of light that came next.

...But Li Yang remained calm and collected. He used the force of the previous palm strike to shift his body forward half a foot, allowing the cold light to graze his back.

"Still as a mountain!"

The moment the cold light fell, Zhang Liyang's heart roared, his muscles tensed instantly, and his whole body became as immovable as a towering mountain, enduring wind and sun.

grin

A cold light fell, and the clothes behind Zhang Liyang instantly shattered. The cold light directly slashed onto Zhang Liyang's back skin.

As the blade fell, a look of delight flashed across the wielder's face, quickly replaced by one of horror.

Because of the feedback from the blade, the wielder felt as if they were slashing against a piece of iron. It was merely breaking through the surface skin of a Yangli, and they couldn't cut any deeper!

The Yellow Emperor's minor supernatural powers, as still as a mountain!

Blocking the opponent's blade, Zhang Liyang's palm turned into a knife, swiftly slashing upwards. His palm, like a sharp blade, directly cut open the opponent's throat!

Hand technique, severing gold and jade with a palm strike!

This martial arts technique was rewarded alongside the Five Emperors Rotating Sutra from the beginning to Zhang Liyang.

Although Zhang Liyang has used this palm technique before, he rarely does so. It's not that the technique is weak, but that Zhang Liyang was previously unable to fully unleash its power.

Until Zhang Liyang cultivated to the Golden Emperor stage, this palm technique only revealed its power.

Just like the description of the skill, the palm is like a sharp blade, capable of cutting gold and jade!

On the battlefield, Zhang Liyang was a killing machine, rapidly reducing the number of pursuers. Like a snowball rolling downhill, his momentum grew until he and his fifteen cavalry companions crushed the remaining enemy forces.

Bang!

With a single palm strike, scalding blood gushed out of the mouth and nose, carrying an unbearable heat. The figure collapsed to the ground, curled up, ultimately lifeless. A faint aroma of barbecue lingered in the wind.

Seeing the last pursuer fall to his death, Zhang Liyang's cavalry behind him looked at the curled-up corpse and then back at Zhang Liyang standing at the front. In their hearts, they felt the same admiration as Xiao He Shan had before, "Such a powerful technique, such terrifying fire force!"

After calming the turmoil of qi and blood within him, Zhang Liyang pointed at the horses in front of him, "Take all these horses away!"

Yes, sir!

Competent people are respected wherever they go. Initially, these people only followed Zhang Liyang because he was the close attendant of Princess Huqing and had orders from Xiao Heshan. Now, they truly listen to Zhang Liyang's instructions.

Having quickly tidied up the battlefield, Zhang Liyang didn't dare to linger. He almost rode alone and galloped away to meet Mu Yinghua ahead.

The night wind howled, and the bodies lying on the ground quickly stiffened in the cold air.

After Zhang Liyang left for half an hour, several figures appeared on the battlefield again.

Under the moonlight, in the cold night, these figures were dressed thinly, and even two of them exposed their arms without a care, completely ignoring the temperature close to twenty degrees below zero.

Are they all dead

"There are no survivors." A few figures casually flipped through the corpses on the ground, and finally stopped in front of a huddled body. "It seems like there's a master guarding the other side!"

"Hmph, who cares what kind of expert they are, they'll all die when they meet us!"

A figure with bare arms sneered, seemingly eager to test the so-called master's skills. He couldn't help but clap his hands a few times.

Here goes!

Something terrifying happened. The moment our palms touched, a sound like metal clashing erupted!

"What should we do now Should we wait for their people to come"

"No, just wait for them to come. The good times will be over by then."

But we have no horses.

"With no warhorses to fear, we'll catch up to them and kill them all. You can have as many warhorses as you want."

Once the leaders had spoken, the others fell silent. With strides nearly a fathom wide, they moved as fast as horses, following the trail on the ground.

At this moment, Zhang Liyang was unaware that a group of terrifying experts were already tracking him.

After joining forces with Mu Yinghua, Zhang Liyang didn't really know which way to go.

If an ordinary person were to estimate, they would probably find a place to hide and wait until dawn before sending someone back to investigate. However, looking at the system where there was still no completed task, Zhang Liyang's tightly strung heart could never relax.

"Zhang Liyang, you are injured."

"Your Highness, it's just a minor wound, nothing to worry about."

Although Zhang Liyang explained it once, Mu Yinghua clearly wasn't going to listen and immediately wanted to bandage him up.

If they were somewhere private, Mu Yinghua might have bandaged Zhang Liyang's wounds. However, with so many people around now, it would be inappropriate for Mu Yinghua to do so.

Hurriedly, he stopped Mu Yinghua's actions. Zhang Liyang got a roll of white cloth from the cavalry beside him and wrapped it around his back.

This white strip is like a bandage, soaked in medicine for disinfection. It has the effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain.

Of course, such fine equipment was only possessed by a few select units throughout the entire Great Qin Dynasty.

"Your Highness, we can't stop now, we still need to run."

Seeing Zhang Liyang wrapped in bandages, Mu Yinghua's heart sank a little. Hearing Zhang Liyang's words at this moment, she suddenly raised her slightly dazed face, "Where do we run to Besides, didn't we already drive off the pursuers"

The system's task Zhang Liyang couldn't explain, so Zhang Liyang could only say other reasons, "Your Highness, this attack is the same as last time, their target is still Your Highness."

So Your Highness cannot stop, even if we eliminate the pursuing troops, there will inevitably be more coming after us.

"With our current strength, we can only keep running!" recapturing Feilong City, and her father's sudden letter asking her to return home, a sense of foreboding crept into Bai Fuhuan's heart."Huh Who is it!"Li Hua, who was examining his surroundings, sud...
