Chapter 565: Strike Fear

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The long-haired rhinos were very fast. Even on the thick snow, their speed was no lower than rhinodrake steeds.

The long-haired rhinos were a bit shorter than rhinodrake steeds, but they were more robust. Their stamina was far weaker than rhinodrake steeds, but in terms of short bursts, they were far stronger than rhinodrake steeds. When the five long-haired rhinos charged at Yan Liqiang, they came over like five bulldozers.

Their noses spewed out hot air and their hair flowed in the wind. Snow scattered off their hooves and those soldiers with their bloodied helms roared as they charged over at Yan Liqiang. These soldiers who just slaughtered didn’t consider Yan Liqiang a threat. To them, Yan Liqiang was like prey waiting to be hacked. Even if Yan Liqiang ran, he wouldn’t be faster than their rides.

Of course, Yan Liqiang wasn’t going to run. He just narrowed his eyes and studied that cavalry as he rated their battle power.

Their equipment was rather simplistic. Even on such a cold day, they only wore a few half-old hide armor. Their arms and legs were exposed. Only one of them had a foxtail around his neck. Two of them held curved swords, and two of them held a wooden pole spear. One of them held a bow and arrow. It seemed that legends of the Black Ram people being extremely poor was true.

When this cavalry charged at him, the cavalry at the tents roared in excitement as though cheering on a good show. Some of them went into the tents and searched, not caring about the results. When a few of them came out, their bodies were full of things. Two Dark Ram soldiers dragged a tied-up Shatu woman to their head. The head touched the woman’s face and said something to the soldiers next to him. Then he began laughing in a lecherous manner...

Whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, those five soldiers were within a hundred-meter range of Yan Liqiang. The archer drew his bow and shot an arrow at him.

Yan Liqiang smiled and reached out his hand and caught the arrow.

The archer was no good at shooting. Especially since he was shaking on the rhino, there was no accuracy at all. When he shot this arrow, he didn’t expect it would get Yan Liqiang at all. The purpose of this arrow was to scare Yan Liqiang into running and they would chase up from behind and easily kill him.

Seeing Yan Liqiang catch his arrow, the archer almost thought he was seeing illusions. He shot again and that arrow was again caught easily by Yan Liqiang.

He shot again when he was within 50 meters of Yan Liqiang, and he still caught the arrow easily. This time, the archer’s face finally changed. He had never seen someone who could catch his arrows with bare hands at this range. When the other four kept charging at Yan Liqiang, the archer stopped the rhino, wanting to run instead.

But at this time, how could Yan Liqiang let him get away? The closest rhino was within twenty meters.

Seeing the three arrows in his hands, Yan Liqiang shook his head. The arrowheads his manufacturing bureau made were all one tael and four maces heavy. All the arrowheads of the Great Han Empire were about this weight. Meanwhile, the arrowheads of the Black Ram people were only about one tael and one mace heavy. It was 20% lighter than his. The arrowhead wasn’t smooth at all; there were quite some ditches. Clearly, the material of the arrowhead wasn’t good!

Yan Liqiang then casually flung his arm and the three arrows flew out. The arrows were more powerful than any arrow shot by powerful bows. The instant he raised his hands, the archer and two swordsmen’s chests were pierced by the arrows. They fell off their rhinos without even making a sound.

The two carrying spears didn’t see the three behind them falling. They had charged up to Yan Liqiang now and roared, aiming their spears at Yan Liqiang from the two sides.

Yan Liqiang reached out with his hands and grabbed the spears. Then he pulled and the two soldiers felt their hands burn as they fell off their rhinos. Their hands were bloody and they almost lost a layer of skin. Their spears were in Yan Liqiang’s hands. Then Yan Liqiang shoved and the two spears penetrated their chests, leaving bloody holes.

It had only been about a second from Yan Liqiang killing three with the arrows and the last remaining two.

Those Black Ram people in the distance were still boisterous. Most people were busy searching and robbing the tents and didn’t notice what happened. Only those watching the situation froze in place.

Yan Liqiang looked over and just when the leader’s face changed and wanted to say something, Yan Liqiang threw the two spears in that direction.

The spears traversed the wind and snow. They passed three hundred meters in a flash.

One spear penetrated the leader and nailed him into the ground while the other spear pierced four soldiers who stood in a line.

Within two seconds, ten Black Ram soldiers died including the leader.

All the Black Ram soldiers yelled and got on their rhinos. Just when Yan Liqiang thought they would charge at him using their numbers, the quickest to get to his rhino just ran off without even daring to look back. The rest of them did the same and fled everywhere while perched low on their long-haired rhinos!

“Haha, these Black Ram people are quite smart!” Yan Liqiang laughed and shook his head as he looked at the bloodied ground covered in corpses. When the winds blew again, he had disappeared from his spot.
