RWNEFE -Chapter 129 One Against Two!

Since being injured, this was the first time Wei Dongzhu had held his long wooden spear again, rubbing it with careful reverence.

This was, aside from his brothers in the Wei Army, the only thing he had brought out from the Northwest!

He had thought he’d never again have the courage to charge into battle with it. Yet now, gripping it once more, all his previous fear had vanished without a trace.

“Master, let me handle him first!” Under the mask, Wei Dongzhu’s lips curved in a grin. It felt like returning to a battlefield long left behind.

Today, he would fight to his heart’s content—on horseback!

“Agreed!” Shen Lanxi shouted. Even though the two spears were practically touching, she remained unmoving, her face calm and unchanged.

Xiao Fang’s jaw dropped in surprise. He hadn’t expected this masked man to obey this pretty boy!

The moment the two clashed, Xiao Fang knew at once—the one wielding the wooden spear was no weak fighter!

“Everyone, hold back! Let me face him first!” Xiao Fang shouted to his men.

Wei Dongzhu raised his hand and struck like lightning, forcing Xiao Fang’s horse back two steps. Then both spurred their mounts forward twenty meters.

Clang… clang…

The clash of weapons rang out repeatedly. Their horses weaved past each other, and their spears collided with force. As the horses veered apart, they each executed a return-thrust maneuver.

The identical moves stunned both of them.

Immediately, they turned their horses and clashed again.

Everyone watched, eyes wide. Any onlooker could tell—they were evenly matched!

“You’re impressive!” Xiao Fang praised his opponent generously.

Wei Dongzhu hadn’t felt this exhilarated in a long time. Weapons stabbing, horses neighing, hooves tearing into the ground—the two warriors tested their strength. Whoever faltered or tried to stop would be trampled beneath their mounts. On a real battlefield, the fallen would only have one fate: death.

Wei Dongzhu laughed, “You’re not bad yourself!”

The horses screamed violently. The next second, they pulled apart, both retracting their spears.

The onlookers on Qing Song Mountain gawked. They knew the skill of their boss—someone who could take down an entire band alone.

But who was this yamen officer? He had been fighting their boss for so long and still hadn’t lost!

The exiled convoy was equally shocked. They already knew Wei Dongzhu was formidable, but they hadn’t expected him to be this skilled on horseback.

Everyone assumed the outcome of this duel would decide their fate. Each time Wei Dongzhu clashed with Xiao Fang, they held their breath, afraid that a blink might reveal Wei Dongzhu fallen from his mount!

They battled another seven or eight rounds, still without a decisive victor. The Wei Army soldiers were astonished.

On flat ground, their junior general might have lost—but on horseback, he was unmatched.

In mounted combat across the Northwest, their junior general had no equal!

“Friend, if we keep fighting, we might not see a winner until nightfall,” Wei Dongzhu said, having already proven his strength, unwilling to prolong the fight.

Xiao Fang said, “You’re strong. I respect true masters. But I also respect the Wei Army—they are brave, loyal, and defend the nation. I still cannot let the Shen family go!”

Even if he lost, it wasn’t an option.

Wei Dongzhu gripped his spear tighter, his voice cold, “So there’s no negotiation?”

Xiao Fang gritted his teeth, “None!”

Wei Dongzhu: “Then I apologize—but today, I will not let you take a single member of the Shen family!”

The two tangled again. Hooves thundered, the air crackled with tension—two valiant bodies, blood pumping, killing intent radiating!

After dozens of moves, the two were still evenly matched. Shen Lanxi reached out and took the long staff from Chunxue’s hands.

Chunxue had been entranced by the fight, gripping the staff tightly. Shen Lanxi’s sudden pull almost lifted her along!

Chunxue laughed awkwardly and let go.

Shen Lanxi walked toward Liu Laohu.

“Brother Liu, lend me a horse!”

Liu Laohu was equally mesmerized. Shen Lanxi waved the staff in front of his eyes a few times before he snapped out of it.

“Ah, you need something?”

Shen Lanxi took a deep breath: “A horse.”

Liu Laohu: Oh, a horse? You could have just said so—no need to wave the stick around to scare people.

Shen Lanxi stepped into the stirrups, mounted, and raised the staff—all in one smooth motion.

“Giddy-up…”

At her command, the horse charged straight toward the two men.

Wei Dongzhu and Xiao Fang sensed the danger at the same time, withdrawing their weapons.

“Cheating—two against one?”

Wei Dongzhu’s heart raced. A voice in his mind warned him—this was definitely not what it seemed.

The moment the staff struck, Wei Dongzhu reacted instantly.

He raised his spear to block and counter!

“Whoa…” Xiao Fang exclaimed in shock.

It was their own ally attacking their own ally!

The next second, his expression changed. The staff sliced through the air, with the force of mountains, smashing toward him!

Damn it—he couldn’t tell friend from foe!

Some pretty boy, acting tough—hope he doesn’t break his back.

Xiao Fang raised his spear to block. The next second, his expression turned pale.

The staff struck his spear like a massive hammer. If it weren’t for his startled horse bolting, half his shoulder would have shattered.

Such strength!

Wei Dongzhu’s eyes flickered. Without hesitation, he attacked Shen Lanxi!

“Their own ally—why attack their own ally?”

“This is madness!”

The bandits on Qing Song Mountain and the exiles panicked at the same time.

Shen Lanxi swung the staff, sending Wei Dongzhu flying, and then turned toward Xiao Fang!

“This… this is how the two-against-one works?!”

“Is she crazy?”

Watching, the spectators felt like they were losing their minds.

This one-against-two fight—so thrilling!

Every martial artist present trembled with excitement.

“How can someone so slight have such strength? Is it divine power?”

“Not only divine strength, but incredible martial skill too!”

Many people marveled.

Dust flew, hooves screamed, weapons clashed—relentless!

As time passed, Xiao Fang moved from shock to utter astonishment.

One against two, yet still so effortless—was she even human?

Shen Lanxi grew more courageous with each strike, pressing forward relentlessly.

Xiao Fang and Wei Dongzhu were gradually pushed back, now working as a team, dividing the attack—three strikes above, three strikes below.

Their strategy was sound—but Shen Lanxi was faster.

Her attacks were almost like a horizontal crushing force, overwhelming both of them and breaking their formation.

“We can’t match her strength!” Wei Dongzhu suddenly shouted.

Xiao Fang roared, “If we don’t use strength, what do we use? We’re not faster than her!”

Wei Dongzhu: “Retreat! Use ranged attacks!”

Xiao Fang: “Got it!”

Just as they were about to spur their horses away, he paused.

Why was he listening to this masked man? And why was he attacking their own men? His elbows were bending the wrong way!
