In a battle of life and death, there were no rules to speak of.
Since Xia Pingan could only move with one hand, he would naturally inflict as much damage as he could.
Xia Pingan stabbed two fingers into the eye sockets of the Xiongnu cavalryman. The feeling was like stabbing two rotten apples in warm water. It was an indescribable feeling.
Xia Pingan viciously dug his fingers out, and the Xiongnu cavalryman's eyes exploded. One of his eyeballs was poked blind in his eye socket, while the other was dug out and hung from his eye socket like a jar of soy sauce.
"Ah …" Xia Pingan understood the Xiongnu cavalryman's miserable shriek. The Xiongnu cavalryman, who was about to grab his dagger, trembled and instinctively covered his ugly face with his hands as he screamed.
The hand gripping Xia Pingan's neck also loosened, and Xia Pingan's breathing returned to normal.
In the next second, Xia Pingan gritted his teeth and used his right hand to break the arrow in his body. Then, he used the broken arrow shaft to viciously stab the Xiongnu cavalryman's main artery.
Once … twice … thrice …
Xia Pingan stabbed the Xiongnu cavalryman's neck more than ten times until it was a bloody mess. After piercing the Xiongnu cavalryman's main artery, blood spurted out from his neck like a fountain.
Not far away, a Xiongnu cavalryman saw the situation and let out a strange cry. He drew his bow and shot an arrow at Xia Pingan.
Almost as soon as he heard the sound of the arrow piercing through the air, Xia Pingan pulled down the Xiongnu cavalryman with blood spurting out from his neck and used him as a shield.
"Pfff …" The arrow hit the Xiongnu meat shield.
In the next second, Xia Pingan swiftly pulled out a dagger from the waist of the Hun meat shield. He then pushed the Hun meat shield aside and rolled behind a pile of firewood by the side of the road. After dodging the Hun cavalry's arrows, Xia Pingan stood up from the ground.
Hearing the sound of hooves, the Xiongnu cavalryman was already charging towards Xia Pingan.
Fuck, Xia Pingan finally understood why the death rate of this Realm Bead was so high. Just now, if other people who had fused with the Realm Bead faced the same situation, many of them would have died.
Fortunately, even though his body was injured and his left hand was inconvenient, his body was still quite strong. He felt that his skin was thick and his flesh was thick, so he could endure being hit.
Behind the pile of firewood was an earthen wall. There was no way to retreat.
Xia Pingan's right hand tightly gripped the dagger as he listened to the rapidly approaching sound of horse hooves. At the same time, he silently counted in his heart …
Three … Two … One …
By the time he counted to one, the Xiongnu cavalryman's horse had already charged over from the side of the road, revealing half of its body. Xia Pingan didn't retreat. Instead, he advanced. He rolled on the ground and pounced towards the horse.
The Xiongnu cavalryman's bow was fully drawn. He looked over with a cold gaze as he leaned to the side, facing behind the pile of firewood.
The moment he saw Xia Pingan, the bowstring loosened. "Xiu … …" An arrow shot towards Xia Pingan.
That arrow almost brushed past Xia Pingan's ear and almost exploded Xia Pingan's head.
The Xiongnu cavalryman's arrow missed. Xia Pingan had already rolled under the horse's belly. Xia Pingan held the dagger in his right hand and suddenly jumped up. He stabbed the Xiongnu cavalryman's calf and fiercely slashed downwards …
The daggers used by the Xiongnu people were very sharp and could easily pierce through flesh.
Xia Pingan's stab left a huge wound two inches deep and half a foot long on the Xiongnu cavalryman's calf.
The Xiongnu cavalryman, who didn't have a stirrup and had been shooting arrows with both hands, groaned and fell from his horse. Without waiting for the Xiongnu cavalryman to react, Xia Pingan's second stab directly slashed the Xiongnu cavalryman's neck and sent him to the afterlife.
Xia Pingan's vision darkened and he felt a little dizzy from the continuous fierce fighting and the loss of blood. However, he didn't collapse. Seeing the Xiongnu dogs burning, killing, and looting the village, Xia Pingan gritted his teeth and put the dagger back into his waist. He used his left hand to grab the reins of the ownerless Xiongnu cavalryman's horse and rushed to the place where he had landed. He picked up the short spear on the ground and flipped onto the horse. His legs squeezed the horse's belly and the horse began to gallop, charging towards a nearby Xiongnu cavalryman without hesitation.
Xia Pingan used his right hand to wrap the reins around his left hand. His left hand barely held onto the reins as his legs squeezed the horse's belly tightly and his chest pressed tightly against the horse's back. He lowered his body and held his short spear in his right hand as he charged towards the Xiongnu cavalryman like a charging knight.
Not far away, the Xiongnu cavalryman had just walked out of a thatched cottage. He carried an unconscious woman on his back and held a bloody knife in his hand. He laughed sinisterly and threw the woman onto his horse. Then, he turned around and threw a torch onto the roof of the thatched cottage.
When the Xiongnu cavalryman got on his horse, he saw a horse charging towards him. There didn't seem to be anyone on the horse.
When the horse charged in the blink of an eye, the Xiongnu cavalryman finally saw Xia Pingan sprawled on the horse's back. The Xiongnu cavalryman was shocked and hurriedly took out his bow and shot an arrow at Xia Pingan.
Because Xia Pingan was sprawled on the horse's back, the arrow brushed past Xia Pingan's back and didn't hit its mark.
A vicious glint flashed across the Xiongnu cavalryman's eyes as he drew his bow again and shot a second arrow at Xia Pingan.
This time, the Xiongnu cavalryman didn't aim for Xia Pingan's upper body or vital points. Instead, he aimed for Xia Pingan's leg.
Xia Pingan's legs squeezed the horse's belly and couldn't avoid it.
"Pfft …" The arrow hit Xia Pingan's thigh and sank into his flesh.
Xia Pingan gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound. After these two arrows, the distance between the two sides had shortened considerably. The Xiongnu cavalryman quickly nocked an arrow and was about to shoot a third arrow at Xia Pingan.
This time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters.
The instant the Xiongnu cavalryman shot the third arrow, Xia Pingan used the short spear in his hand to viciously stab the horse's buttocks. The horse's buttocks bled, and the galloping horse was agitated. With a long neigh, it kicked off in all directions and moved as fast as lightning.
Because the Xiongnu cavalryman hadn't expected Xia Pingan's horse to suddenly accelerate, the Xiongnu cavalryman's third arrow hit the horse's neck.
The galloping horse charged forward several meters before suddenly falling to the ground. Xia Pingan had already let go of the reins in his hands. Borrowing the momentum of the horse's galloping momentum, he leapt off the horse's back like a ferocious tiger. His entire body, along with his short spear, fiercely crashed into the Xiongnu cavalryman.
"Crack …" The impact was so powerful that the bones in the Xiongnu cavalryman's chest cracked. The Xiongnu cavalryman spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse with Xia Pingan, landing heavily on the ground.
The Xiongnu cavalryman was below while Xia Pingan was above. Once again, he used the Xiongnu cavalryman's body as a meat cushion. Before the Xiongnu cavalryman could land on the ground, Xia Pingan's short spear had already pierced the Xiongnu cavalryman's lower abdomen.
The Xiongnu cavalryman fell to the ground and stopped breathing. Covered in blood, Xia Pingan's vision turned black again. He shakily stood up from the Xiongnu cavalryman's body.
In front of him, another Xiongnu cavalryman saw Xia Pingan. He held a short knife in his hand and urged his horse to charge at Xia Pingan. He raised his short knife and slashed at Xia Pingan's neck.
When the Xiongnu cavalryman was less than ten meters away, a smile appeared on Xia Pingan's bloodstained face. He threw the short spear in his right hand.
The short spear cut through the air and nailed the Xiongnu cavalryman in the chest with a thud. The Xiongnu cavalryman was nailed off his horse and fell to the ground.
This move seemed to have exhausted all the energy in Xia Pingan's body. He could no longer stand. His vision turned black and he felt dizzy. He swayed a few times and fell to the ground.
Two Xiongnu cavalrymen came out from behind the thatched hut and saw Xia Pingan on the ground. They also saw the corpses around Xia Pingan. Their expressions changed and they were about to charge over.
F * ck, I'm not going to die here, right? Xia Pingan cursed in his heart. At this moment, his entire body felt weak and his head turned black. He could no longer stand.
"Woo woo woo …" A horn suddenly sounded from the hills outside the village.
"Gate of Yan, the cavalrymen from Gate of Yan are here …" Those in the village who were still resisting shouted.
Hearing the horn, the two Xiongnu cavalrymen who wanted to charge over panicked. They looked at each other and turned their horses to flee.
The thunderous sound of hooves sounded outside the village.
Xia Pingan looked at the distant hill. A large flag with the word "Zhao" appeared on the hill. Behind the flag was a large group of cavalrymen.
Zhao? It was the Gate of Yan of the State of Zhao …
This was the last thought that flashed through Xia Pingan's mind. Then, his vision turned black and he fainted …
