Chapter 811: Unspoken Understanding

Even at night, Happy’s keen eyes could still detect every slightest change within a hundred meters, let alone a group of Mongol cavalry charging forward with torches in hand.
Dressed like the cavalry they had encountered before, clad in lightweight metal scales with fierce expressions, their numbers were much larger—seemingly several patrol teams combined.
“Thirty-five riders! That’s equivalent to seven patrol teams…”
Faced with the menacing enemies charging from afar, Yu Yan finally showed signs of tension. She gripped her magic blade tightly, scanning the group for an opening. Clearly, she had no prior experience preparing for such a situation, but her equipment and weapons gave her some courage.
“Seven torches.”
At that moment, a calm voice reached her ears:
“350 points.”
Just as she showed surprise, Yu Yan sensed movement beside her and saw Chen Kai already rushing toward the Mongol cavalry like a wisp of black smoke.
In the poorly lit night on the grasslands, Chen Kai’s astonishing speed made him appear like a swift black ghost, moving without hesitation or delay.
Whoosh!!!
Almost simultaneously, the charging Mongol cavalry drew their bows, and arrows like black lightning shot toward Chen Kai, who had entered the range of the torchlight…
Danger!
Her eyelids twitched! Yu Yan intensely felt the speed of those arrows—far exceeding even the deadliest arrow skills of top martial artists.
Sure enough!
Chen Kai’s figure was instantly pierced, shattered by the barrage of arrows…
Huh? Shattered?!
Slightly stunned, Yu Yan quickly realized something was wrong.
The “shattered” Chen Kai was actually just a afterimage created by his extreme speed; dozens of arrows sank deep into the ground—vanishing completely!
At the same time, Chen Kai dashed forward, covering dozens of meters in an instant thanks to his fast horse and his own explosive speed, appearing right in front of the cavalry.
To dodge such arrows, Happy didn’t even need to use the Little Dragon Form—the Mongol cavalry drew their bows so quickly that by the time Happy noticed, they had already shot. A quick acceleration and movement was enough to easily avoid them.
So! Sometimes, being too fast isn’t a good thing…
Swish!
When he landed above the group of Mongol cavalry, his long sword, charged with energy, instantly emitted a sharp blade glow!
Wind Spirit Spin!

The Master-level “Flying Dragon Sword Technique,” combined with the Master-level “Wind Spirit Spin,” acted like a radiant halo that swept across the unprepared patrol cavalry. Most of the 35 riders were enveloped in the sword’s light… But among the 23 who were directly attacked, Kai Xin clearly felt that most of the external scales absorbed the damage, with only five people being instantly killed by slashes to the throat! “Ah!” “Ah!!” Amidst the screams, one after another Mongol cavalryman was knocked off their horse by the force of the sword’s light and fell to the ground. Yu Yan, who had landed dozens of meters away, stared in shock at what she saw, utterly stunned by Chen Kai’s performance. Although she had gradually noticed Chen Kai’s formidable strength during previous ambushes—his ability to kill Mongol cavalry with a single strike—and assumed he was stronger than her, the scene before her still left her in awe. From launching an attack, dodging the Mongol cavalry’s shots, to knocking down enemies, everything happened in one seamless flow, the difficulty of which was astonishing, so much so that she forgot to act until the fallen Mongol cavalrymen got up and drew their swords to attack Kai Xin… …Killing five people in one go and knocking down over a dozen was an impressive feat, but it also put Kai Xin in extreme danger. The moment he hit the ground, he found himself surrounded by the remaining 30 men. The 30 Mongol cavalrymen were seasoned warriors who had fought on the battlefield for years—quick-witted and agile. Those affected by the sword’s light, as long as they weren’t fatally injured, retained their mobility and quickly counterattacked and surrounded him. Clang! With a crisp sound, curved swords were drawn… A few others held torches in one hand and axes in the other, swinging them at lightning speed toward Kai Xin’s face, the flames flashing wildly, blinding the eyes. Clang! Clang! Even Kai Xin found it tough facing the siege of 30 opponents whose combat strength rivaled that of experts like Wu Wei. He kept dodging and blocking among the crowd while searching for an opportunity to break free. “I’ll help you!” Seeing Chen Kai’s predicament, Yu Yan didn’t stay idle. With a sharp cry, she rushed forward like the wind and instantly reached outside the battle circle… A few Mongol cavalrymen immediately shifted their attention. “Be careful! Make sure you don’t get surrounded by them!” While killing the remaining cavalrymen’s horses, Kai Xin shouted loudly, “Keep distracting them outside! Don’t let them surround you!”

After several rounds of attacks, although Happy wasn’t seriously hurt, the constant parrying still cost him dearly—the Mongol cavalry had formidable strength and coordinated well. Their relentless assaults would be tough even for top experts. If not for Happy wanting Yu Yan to become more familiar with the brutality and danger of battle sooner, he would have already used the “Heavenly Thunder Annihilation Technique” to clear the area…

“Great!”

Yu Yan had already seen Chen Kai’s strength, and now that Chen Kai spoke highly of it, she naturally understood. She halted her retreat and, as five Mongol cavalrymen surrounded her, she stepped forward, twisted, and flew backward to create distance, escaping their encirclement in time…

The Mongol cavalry naturally refused to give up and continued to pursue closely.

But just as Yu Yan turned to flee, a demonic blade suddenly pierced the forehead of one of the Mongol cavalrymen with a dazzling sword glow…

“What a brilliant move, ‘Rhinoceros Gazing at the Moon’!”

Praise came from the grasslands in a timely manner.

“Too kind,” Yu Yan replied, slightly proud but still vigilant.

Her admiration for Chen Kai’s strength grew even more—although he now had five fewer enemies, reducing some pressure, his ability to focus on both sides under the siege of five times as many enemies was certainly beyond what an ordinary expert could achieve.

With the first Mongol cavalryman dead, Yu Yan remained alert. While retreating to maintain distance, she struck repeatedly, swiftly killing two more before turning back.

Seeing this, Happy finally breathed a sigh of relief:

Although Yu Yan’s skills were clearly inferior to those of top experts like Silver Fox, she at least understood the weaknesses of the Mongol cavalry—they lacked protective measures and no awareness to counter sudden, deadly attacks.

Especially at night, near their camp, they were easier to deal with than the patrol cavalry encountered during the day. They wouldn’t flee. As long as one stayed calm, avoided being surrounded, used speed to maintain distance, and seized the opportunity to kill the enemy in one strike, the pace of earning points wasn’t slow at all.

However…

More horse hooves and torch lights appeared in all directions at night!
