The bandit soldiers suffered heavy losses under Li Huowang's attack. Peng Longteng could not allow him to wreak havoc unchecked, so she began to divide her troops. Half of the bandit soldiers continued to besiege Bai Lingmiao, while the other half began to counterattack under Peng Longteng's leadership.
"Huowang?" A hazy voice rang in Li Huowang's ears, which were ringing from pain that brought him to the brink of unconsciousness.
He shook his head, and the voice vanished.
Li Huowang looked up, and when he saw the cavalry charging toward him, he smiled. "I've read military treatises, too. I call this tactic the bitter flesh ruse."
When the mounted Peng Longteng reappeared before him, looking down from her high vantage point, Li Huowang shouted at her, "Come on! Let's go one-on-one!"
But what answered him was a Giant Halberd whistling through the air.
"Boy! Did you really think I couldn't handle you? It's just that the cost is too great, so I was reluctant to use this! Howl!"
