Accidentally Summoning the God of Death (2)

That kind of pompous arrogance made Fu Yun Ting can’t help but tug the corner of his mouth. Fortunately, in the end, he restrained himself. However, he roughly understood what kind of image Jin Qinwang was planning on putting forward. Regardless of whether it was the Xiongnu army, or the unaware soldiers of one’s own side, this appearance indeed had its benefits. With this kind of completely ‘braindead’ appearance, many things won’t be thought onto him. And on their own side, because only a few people knew, even if there were spies, they won’t be able to obtain any useful information, because from the start, this direction was wrong.

“Replying to wangye, this humble general doesn’t know.” Fu Yun Ting appeared sufficiently deferential, but not the least bit inferior. The bearing that a main commander should have, he can be said to not lack in the slightest.

“Aren’t you Qi Yuan’s main commander, yet you don’t know?” Li Hong Yuan was ‘very displeased’ with his attitude.

“Wangye, Xiongnu’s troops, too numerous to count. The ones that have fought with this humble general are only a few.” Fu Yun Ting truly very ‘bluntly’ pointed out Li Hong Yuan’s ‘ignorance’.

Li Hong Yuan’s gaze towards Fu Yun Ting was a bit sinister.

Fu Yun Ting lowered his eyes, but his expression was calm, letting people clearly know that his deference towards him was just because of his status, having nothing to do with anything else.

“Since that’s the case, you can get lost.” Afterwards, the long spear in hand directly pointed towards West Xiongnu’s Daxian Wang, “If you’re the strongest in Xiongnu, then stay, if not, get lost, and have the strongest called out for this prince.”

Daxian Wang also didn’t get angry, even smiling very warmly. However, on the inside, he was most likely evaluating Li Hong Yuan. “Don’t know which wangye of Qi Yuan this is?”

In reality, he roughly had an understanding inside already. After all, during Qi Yuan Emperor’s birthday celebration last year, among the people sent to Qi Yuan’s capital, this Daxian Wang had also arranged his own people, so towards this good-looking and highly favored by the emperor, yet bad tempered Jin Qinwang, he can be considered to have paid very close attention to.

“Enough of the useless talk, this is the battlefield, not a place for you all to have a friendly chat. Or could it be that the battlefield in reality is precisely this kind of place? Even if this prince has never seen before, this prince isn’t that easy to deceive either. Bring out your real abilities, else……” The bottom of Li Hong Yuan’s eyes were full of dark currents, “Leave behind your head for this prince.”

———Qi Yuan’s Jin Qinwang was arrogant and condescending, having no power in hand, yet no one dared to offend. Daxian Wang recalled the people that returned from the capital. This was their evaluation of this wangye. And now, seeing in person, he had even more thoughts inside.

“Since that’s the case, why don’t wangye wait a moment.” Regardless of whether it was because of his position or something else, Daxian Wang all won’t rashly act on his own.

Daxian Wang turned around and said a few xiongnu words. Shortly after, a husky fellow rode over on horseback.

Speaking of which, it really was as the saying goes, ‘some enemies just destined to meet’.

Under the Xiongnu King, there was the Right and Left Xian Wang (sage king), Right and Left Guli Wang, Right and Left General, Right and Left Duwei (military rank), Right and Left Danghu (Xiongnu court official), Right and Left Gudu Marquis and so on noble titles, establishing forty-eight Wanqi^[1] banners. Of course, while the titles were resounding, the spots under the banners may not necessarily be full, just like the ‘paper officials^[2]‘ in Qi Yuan. And this person that came out was the Right General, Daxian Wang’s iron supporter. In Li Hong Yuan’s past life, he’d fought with him before. Li Hong Yuan’s martial arts in the past life certainly can’t compare with now. During that battle in the past, he’d nearly suffered a great loss. In this lifetime, since they’ve met early, then it’s just sending the person to the yellow springs in advance.

Li Hong Yuan’s eyes flashed with a murderous glint, not bothering with the rules of the battlefield and whatnot. In any case, right now, he ‘didn’t know the rules’ either. Lifting the long spear, he urged the horse to charge forward, the force colliding in the most direct way. Li Hong Yuan could still immediately sense his own strength being slightly weaker. This also couldn’t be helped. He didn’t possess the natural born advantage that the other party had, just like with He Shi Hai.

However, even so, it didn’t mean that Li Hong Yuan will just lose. No one would foolishly use what one was weak at to attack what another excelled in. On the contrary, after the first strike, it was just letting the opponent’s strength towards oneself limitlessly expand.

TN: All

The clanging of the blades crossing, sparks flying in all directions, appearing as if evenly matched, but only the ones watching nearby, Daxian Wang and Fu Yun Ting, were the most clear, that West Xiongnu Right General that was getting increasingly excited already unknowingly sunk into the passive. Daxian Wang had a bad premonition inside. He naturally didn’t want to just lose the number one valiant general under him here like this. No longer waiting, he charged the horse forward to assist. Fu Yun Ting was just about to block him, when Li Hong Yuan suddenly changed his method, swinging the spear. Afterwards, the cold blade of the spear directly just removed that Right General’s head, fresh blood flying everywhere, directly splattering on Daxian Wang’s face………….

Everything else aside, in that moment, Daxian Wang was dumbstruck. However, a silver glint suddenly appeared, making him hastily pull the reins to turn around, hurriedly withdrawing.

Li Hong Yuan didn’t chase after either, just blankly watching Daxian Wang flee. Afterwards, thrusting the long spear, he lifted up that head that was already dirty yet the eyes were glaring wide like copper bells. The human head hung from the spear, but Li Hong Yuan very much disdained, “The strongest in the Xiongnu army? Heh, nothing much.”

Once Daxian Wang escaped the danger zone and turned around, he just saw Li Hong Yuan, as well as that human head, his eyes splitting in anger.

Afterwards, the horns signaling the start of the battle on the two sides sounded at the same time, the battle cries filling the air.

Because of Li Hong Yuan’s action, Qi Yuan’s morale can be said to have instantly skyrocketed.

Fu Yun Ting also never thought that in the end, it would be this kind of outcome. However, at this time, his head was very clear, “Many thanks to wangye for today. Just, the blades of the battlefield have no eyes, so asking wangye to please withdraw from the battlefield.”

Li Hong Yuan lightly glanced at him. He indeed didn’t plan on staying on the battlefield. Swinging his hand, that human head just that perfectly landed in Fu Yun Ting’s arms.

If this head belonged to their own people, then Fu Yun Ting won’t disdain, probably even sinking into endless sorrow, but the problem was that it belonged to the enemy, so no matter how one looked at it, it was all very unpleasant. However, this head can weaken the enemy troops and enhance one’s own morale, so can’t just toss. Just, the people of Xiongnu had short hair, and this one was further shaved bald in the middle, so it really wasn’t easy to hold. Fu Yun Ting casually tossed it out, waving the long spear in hand, the blade horizontally stabbing into the head.

Fu Yun Ting followed Li Hong Yuan back on horseback, the two sides’ army closing in more and more.

Because Xiongnu had just lost a general, they were raging with fury, and Fu Yun Ting and Li Hong Yuan both weren’t wearing armor. Daxian Wang made a signal with his hand, and a Xiongnu soldier brought out a strong bow, pulling the string and mounting the arrow, two arrows, the sharp arrow penetrating through the air…………

“General, wangye, be careful——–”

Li Hong Yuan suddenly abandoned the horse and turned around, lifting the long spear. The two arrows got cut off one after another, changing directions.

Li Hong Yuan leaned forward, the long spear pointing to the sky. Exerting strength under his feet, he charged forward like a cheetah.

It was obvious, Jin Qinwang, who was originally uninterested in the following battle, because of this arrow, got thoroughly angered, deciding to let the long spear in hand continue drinking blood.

Facing off with the ordinary Xiongnu soldiers, that was just like a wolf entering a flock of sheep. Wherever the long spear landed, it just drew out countless fresh blood. Xiongnu soldiers successively fell to the ground one after another. No need to check, there was definitely none left a live.

Because of the fresh blood, and also because of this kind of atmosphere, it once again aroused the dark blood-thirst deep in Li Hong Yuan’s bones. However, right now, he was very clearheaded, and can be said to be becoming increasingly clearheaded the more he killed, able to very clearly distinguish between their own and the enemy, to the extent that in his surrounding, within a large area, were all Xiongnu soldier corpses. And wherever his long spear pointed, the usually dauntless Xiongnu soldiers all ran away as if frightened, simply not daring to contend against him.

[1] Wanqi – Lit. ‘Ten thousand riders’; it’s the name for the Xiongnu cavalry. The positions listed above are all positions that have their own banner and under each banner is their own cavalry squad.

[2] 吃空饷 – The original phrase actually translates to ‘eating empty pay’. It means to embezzle money by adding to the payroll people that only exist on paper.
