The sudden movement of the steed disrupted Streak of Grey’s attack, causing his slash to miss the mark. Making use of this opening, Zhang Xuan’s left hand reached out and touched the saber from the side.

Weng!

The saber released a soft humming reverberation…

“You…” Streak of Grey widened his eyes incredulously as he swiftly realized what had just happened.

He had fought alongside the crescent saber for at least twenty years now, such that there was no weapon that felt right in his hand other than it anymore. But in the blink of an eye, his saber actually submitted to another man?

The breakup was so decisive that he actually felt cuckolded!

Furthermore, why would his steed suddenly leap up at that instant? It was almost as if it was trying to interfere with his movements!

Streak of Grey was a little spooked by all of the unexplainable happenings around him, but he knew better than to be distracted in the midst of a battle. Regardless of who the crescent saber had submitted to, everything should come to an end once he had dealt with the young man.

So, he tried to lift the crescent saber to cut down the young man before him, only to find that the crescent saber had become too heavy for him to lift anymore.

Shocked, he lowered his gaze, only to see the young man looking at him calmly.

You are holding onto my possession. Let go.”

Right after saying those words, the young man swung the sword in his left hand in a trajectory parallel to the crescent saber, aiming straight toward Streak of Grey’s wrist.

Streak of Grey immediately tried to move to dodge the attack, only to find that he was unable to move due to the weight of the crescent saber. Flustered, he was left with no choice but to release his grip.

The young man before him immediately made use of that opportunity to grab hold of the crescent saber before launching a follow-up slash with it.

Streak of Grey instinctively leaned backward to move out of range from the attack, only to have his steed take a step forward at that moment.

Streak of Grey.

This is too much! To think that I have doted on you for so many years!

Due to the steed’s forward movement, his evasion maneuver was rendered ineffective, resulting in his head being moved right in the trajectory path of the crescent saber.

In that instant, Streak of Grey realized that the young man had tamed his steed too through some sort of sorcery, and it was likely that he would be in greater danger if he were to remain on horseback. Thus, he quickly rolled to the side and tumbled down from the horse.

With this, Streak of Grey was able to dodge the crescent saber in the nick of time. While gasping heavily for air, he immediately pushed his hands against the ground to prop himself back to his feet. As long as he could regain his momentum, he was confident that he would be able to defeat the young man before him with his superior strength.

But just as he was in the midst of getting back to his feet, he suddenly felt a shadow falling down on his face, mercilessly pushing him back to the ground.

A horse hoof had been imprinted at the center of his face.

On a positive note, that solved one of the doubts in his mind. He was now certain that his steed had indeed betrayed him, just like the crescent saber.

You bastard! Slaughter them all!”

Streak of Grey was on the brink of losing his mind. He would have never dreamed that he would be defeated in such an unbelievable manner.

The young man was surely weaker than him, he had no doubt about that. However, by swiftly taming his crescent saber and his steed through some sort of miracle, the young man was actually managed to push him, a middle-tier God, to a corner. It was one thing if he was overpowered by an even more powerful opponent, but he couldn’t accept losing in such a ridiculous manner!

It was only after hearing Streak of Grey’s shout did the rest of the bandits return to their senses. Recalling the situation they were in, they struck the sides of their steeds, prompting them to charge toward Zhao Ya and the others

But as fate would have it, the story unfolded in a completely different direction than they had expected.

All of the horses which the young lady had touched previously turned toward one another and unhesitatingly raised their hooves to kick the riders down.

None of the bandits were prepared for such a situation, resulting in them being struck squarely in their core. They fell to the ground while spurting large mouthfuls of blood.
