Cunning General Si Ning
Chapter 254: Cut Down

Chapter 254: Cut Down

Climbing the Yin mountain had been so tiring that most of Si Ning’s men were tired so the bandits attacked them when they were at their worst performance and things doesn’t look good the way the collision was going. Si Ning thought it was an animal dwelling on the mountain, he never calculated that it could be a group of people from a clan because they were all huge and tall using that to overpower them and things were not looking good and if they continue fighting with the bandits that had large hands and could crush their windpipes by straggling them then they would soon be wiped out but due to them being skilled most was fighting back skillfully but they kept receiving wounds.

"Si Ning! Hide!" Song Feng yelled out as he found himself fighting with a much taller person than him, he kept running around dogging yet his vision kept trailing back to Si Ning as he tried to find his way back to protect him.

The robes bounding them together had long been cut off so the group of five were now scattered that Xiao Pei wasn’t at Si Ning’s side anymore

Si Ning heard what Song Feng said but it was the most unintelligent word he had ever heard, he wanted to yell that Song Feng should concentrate on staying alive and concentrate on the enemy in front of him but he quickly dogged a spear thrown at him from nowhere. Since the fight began, his hands were steady so he had no problem shooting the arrows.

"General we have to retreat!" Jiang ChenMu that found himself fighting close to Si Ning said, what he said was applicable only to them surrendering because there was nowhere to run. "We have to do something, give up and when they know who General is they will surely let us go if not the whole of Xiu will attack them." He stated the moment he was able to get rid of the man that was attacking him only for another one to replace him as he started attacking Jiang ChenMu.

"Si Ning!" Song Feng yelled. "You have to escape!"

To surrender wasn’t part of Si Ning’s dictionary at the moment, he couldn’t do that because Xiu was standing on a thin thread with Xilie and any of them might fall off so if it was Xiu then him being captured would have no meaning, he would be pushed around, perhaps made into a slave and never get his vengeance. If he doesn’t get rid of Ge Liang before he assembles the Ge family army then Xiu might have difficulties in winning.

"Ahhhhhh!" Si Ning yelled out in anger, his hand terribly shaking because the attack was starting to drive him crazy, he was breathing hard. "Separate! Cut all the ropes! Stay on the ground! make your feet firm! do not shake! Attack them by the neck, jump!" He yelled out because he couldn’t see any skin exposed for them to cut but the neck could still be penetrated and he even saw some in his group apply the tactics by jumping up and stabbing the enemies by the neck but the ropes tying them were dragging them down this time around because they had to jump in a coordinated manner.

The moment Si Ning told them to stand firm made Song Feng turn in his direction with an unbelievable look because this was suicidal, he turned to Xiao Pei hoping someone would stop Si Ning from the madness but all he could see was that every one of them were busy fighting.

"You!" An enemy yelled as he ran down the mountain to face Si Ning holding a knife and an axe.

"Separate!" Si Ning placed a hand on the hilt of his sword because an enemy much shorter and smaller than the rest of the bandits jumped in front of him and his arrows had finished so he couldn’t shoot him down so he quickly unsheathed his sword to meet their axe.

"Stupid Commander you will die!" The man said as he turned the axe and jumped back and kept swinging his axe but the moment Si Ning dodged he had to dodge the knife incoming next.

The enemy jumped up and even walked on the surface of the smooth rock and gave Si Ning two kicks on the chest. The kick almost sent Si Ning falling but he was able to plant his feet at the edge and pushed himself forward as he coughed but regained his balance to attack, just then he found himself facing a familiar face then he turned to meet the axe while he used his knee to kick off the informing knife and the knife flew but their faces got closer because Si Ning was pushing with his sword while the enemy was pushing with his axe.

"Shang Jin?" Si Ning called absentmindedly, his eyes widened because he was truly facing a person who had the face of his Highschool friend.

"What?"

"Are you Shang Jin?" Si Ning asked stupidly even though his enemy was overpowering him due to their difference in strength and he was struggling to push back, sweat tickling down his face as he breaths hard.

The man attacking him moved back as he stared at Si Ning, his axe still raised. Si Ning couldn’t believe he was looking at his high school best friend, he had the same face but was different because his high school best friend had short dark hair, the one facing him dark hair was trimmed short at one side leaving long hair in the middle which was packed into a ponytail, his friend had a gentle face but the one facing him face was fierce looking with eyes of a predator.

"Halt!" The man with his high school best friend face yelled out loudly and the fighting seized at once like the rest had been waiting for his order, then he pointed his axe at Si Ning. "You know me? How do you know my name?" He asked.

Si Ning raised his hand to indicate for his men to stop fighting also. "We used to be friends." He couldn’t tell him he used to be his high school friend in the modern day world. "Your father Shang Chi and your mother had the kindest eyes and she use to dance." He said slowly as his chest heaves the way he breaths.

All that Si Ning said was according to the modern day world, he knew Shang Jin’s father’s name by chance but he had no idea of his mother’s name but he remembered his mother used to dance and he hoped all that he said was also true in this life because this bloody fight might not end until they surrender which would make them lose a lot and Shang Jin’s men were much in number and Si Ning could see his men had already reduced and they couldn’t go on like that because they would be wiped out and he would be an incapable leader that lack leadership skills.

"You talk like you were close with me and my parent." The man said watching Si Ning suspiciously.

"Yes I was much closer than you think, your mother even regarded me as her son." Si Ning said as he lowered his sword.

Shang Jin stared at Si Ning for a while like he was trying to place his face. "I remember I do have a close friend when I was young and I think it is you." He smiled that his eyes even crinkled and anyone could tell it was a genuine smile. "We stop fighting because I and my supposed to be brothers are reunited today!" He yelled out loud.

Si Ning watched as Shang Jin’s men jubilates like they weren’t the ones doing their best to cut them down just a moment ago. Si Ning also smiled because he wasn’t about to tell Shang Jin that he was sure he wasn’t that friend Shang Jin thought he was but he could see that the gullible side of Shang Jin was still there but he smiled widely because he saw Shang Jin again after seven years.

Si Ning’s men were surprised because they never thought Si Ning would know someone that seemed to be the head of the Demons that attacked them so they watched as Shang Jin moved to hug Si Ning after dropping his axe, Xiao Pei was alert only to see it was a friendly hug and Shang Jin meant no harm.
