Chapter 572: Chapter 572 Can you be more despicable? (2)_1

Just then, another densely packed volley of arrows fell among the crowd, causing screams of agony to arise from all around.

Bayal’s eyes nearly turned red as he saw his fallen soldiers, "Issue the command, immediately blow the horn for retreat."

The command was quickly relayed, and the disarrayed soldiers of the North Country retreated like a receding tide.

By now, Timur and his four companions had already fought their way to Chu Suifeng.

Lin Ziyin stood on the city wall, constantly monitoring Chu Suifeng’s actions. She also noticed the fearless Timur and his companions.

"Those four Tatars are quite formidable," Lin Ziyin commented.

"Don’t worry, the King of Ling is even more formidable," spoke Master Hui Zhen, showing outright support for Chu Suifeng.

"Timur, what should we do?" The companions heard the call for retreat, but having fought their way to Chu Suifeng with great difficulty, and almost achieving fame, they were hesitant to let go of the fruit so close within their grasp.

Timur too was wavering.

"Trying to leave?" Chu Suifeng spotted the four men not far off, his eyes gleaming with murderous intent and mocking contempt. "I won’t let you all return the way you came."

These words were no doubt a provocation to the four of them.

Timur was well aware of Chu Suifeng’s prowess, but considering his own reputation as the bravest warrior of North Country, it would be humiliating to return empty-handed and be ridiculed by Chu Suifeng. Not to mention the laughter of the North Country people, he himself couldn’t bear Chu Suifeng’s provocation.

"Those words should be mine instead." Realizing this, Timur no longer hesitated, lifting his sabre and charging forward without a second thought.

His companions, upon seeing this, didn’t even hesitate and promptly took up their weapons charging towards Chu Suifeng.

No matter how formidable Chu Suifeng is, surely he wouldn’t be able to fend off four of them, right?

They had beautiful dreams, but reality was not as pleasant. Chu Suifeng, as the King of the Northern Land, was present in the battlefield in person, leading the army himself so how could he not be accompanied by expert warriors to protect him?

Swiftly, Congyi, Conger, and Congsan countered the three Tatars. The remaining guards surrounded Chu Suifeng, diligently observing the battle and keeping anyone from approaching him too closely.

Chu Suifeng directly engaged Timur in battle.

Their combat was intense.

Timur, worthy of being the North Country’s top warrior, not only had brute strength but also ferocious courage, displaying an untamed, fearless spirit.

Initially, he was on par with the Northern War God.

Lin Ziyin on the city wall watched the small-scale combat situation. Her heart was filled with anxiety for Chu Suifeng. In truth, when one truly cares for someone, they definitely wouldn’t want that person to suffer the slightest injury.

Chu Suifeng wielded a sword whereas Timur used a sabre.

As the saying goes, a long weapon is intrinsically more threatening than a short one. In terms of weight, Chu Suifeng’s sword was much lighter than Timur’s sabre. So, right from the start, Timur had a significant advantage.

However, Timur had really underestimated Chu Suifeng.

Chu Suifeng, being addressed as the Northern War God, undoubtedly lived up to his name. Chu Suifeng quickly gained the upper hand over Timur.

Timur, who had rarely met an opponent in the North Country over the years, was furious when he was being suppressed by Chu Suifeng, wielded his sabre with even more strength.

Regardless of his efforts, he still couldn’t outmaneuver Chu Suifeng. Chu Suifeng was not one to be trifled with nor had the patience to prolong the duel. Soon, he found an opening, thrust his sword obliquely, resulting in a huge cut on Timur’s left arm. Blood gushed out, and the wound revealed turned flesh. The blood flowing along his arm quickly soaked the horse’s fur red.
