Chapter 466: His Legend
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The city gate behind the young man was dilapidated. The city had just experienced a tragic war, as many corpses were below the city wall.
The tens of thousands of soldiers before the youth thought they could quickly enter and occupy the city. However, the youth stood before the gate, exuding the aura of a one-man army that stopped them.
For some reason, the soldiers’ commander frowned when he saw the youth’s calm gaze. After all, the youth was not ordinary, and the enemy commander quickly realized that taking down Chu City would be tricky.
“I have tens of thousands of soldiers behind me, Young General Wei! Do you think you can stop us all by yourself?!” The commander shouted, “Do you think you can protect this city?!”
Wei Jin’an said coldly, “Won’t you only know the answer after you’ve tried it?”
His voice was frigid. Although it was not loud, it could make people shudder. The enemy commander knew how formidable the Wei family army was. He did not want to fight the young general, as the youth was legendary.
He knew Wei Jin’an had already made outstanding military achievements when he was only ten. Wei Jin’an’s reputation was terrifying.
However, according to the information the enemy commander had received, the Wei family army should not be at the city gate. Otherwise, he would not be the one sent to attack Chu City.
The enemy commander thundered, “If you know what’s good for you, you can leave this place and save your family’s life.
Wei Jin’an asked coldly, “It’s you who wants to save your own life, right?”
His words hit the nail on the head, causing the commander’s face to be pale and him unable to speak.
“If you know what’s good for you, you might save your and your army’s lives by leaving this place. Otherwise, you can die here if you insist on invading my great city’s territory.” Wei Jin’an’s words sounded extremely arrogant to the enemy.
The enemy commander was enraged, shouting, “Attack! Everyone, attack!” Then his tens of thousands of soldiers launched an attack on Wei Jin’an.
Meanwhile, the youth drew a line on the ground with a spear. The line signified that Wei Jin’an would defend it to his death, as he would not let the enemy cross it.
The scene instantly erupted into a battle. Countless people tried crossing the line Wei Jin’an had drawn, but they all died from his weapon. The youth held a spear in one of his hands and a sword in the other. He also had hidden weapons on him.
Wei Jin’an resembled the Grim Reaper, and no one could cross his drawn line.
The enemy troops charged in batches, and they lost their lives. Hundreds of people had died in a blink, as corpses littered the ground.
However, the youth’s armor was still clean. The blood on the ground was the enemies’, but their blood did not splash on his armor.
The enemy looked at him with fear and horror. They had only heard legends about the youth and knew he was formidable. Still, knowing was one thing, and seeing it was another.
Everyone was in shock and forgot how to react. Many felt fearful and no longer dared to approach Wei Jin’an.
“Charge!” The enemy commander shouted angrily. “That’s an order. Anyone who disobeys me will be beheaded.”
The commander thought it would be a great merit if he could kill the youth before him. It would also bring honor to his family. After all, the commander was one of the least valued disciples in his clan.
He had received news that Chu City would be easy to take down, so he got sent there to lead these troops to seize it. Moreover, he knew the city had just experienced a great battle, and only a few guards were around. That was why he wanted to kill the youth and occupy the city.
After threatening his own soldiers, they could only continue their attack, thinking of ways to kill Wei Jin’an.
It was a battle of attrition, and the commander smiled. He thought he could exhaust Wei Jin’an even if the soldiers failed to kill him. Then the commander could kill the youth and return home to claim all the credit.
More soldiers died as time passed, but the young man was still unyielding. Still, the commander would not suppress his pride in the slightest. It would not bend at all.
He looked at the corpses, and his face turned paler and paler. Then the commander decided to use a formation to attack the youth. “Form together!”
However, the youth still looked at the commander with his familiar cold gaze. Wei Jin’an’s gaze was horrifying, and it terrified the commander.
‘How can he still be so calm at this moment? For some reason, I feel like I’m looking at the Grim Reaper.’
Fear rose in the commander’s heart. However, after some thought, he remembered his strong martial arts skills. Moreover, the commander had two assassins protecting him.
The commander believed nothing would happen to him because his two assassins were martial arts masters.
His father was the one who had arranged for the assassins to protect him so that he could contribute to the family by conquering a city.
The two assassins had yet to move, and the commander believed they could kill the youth if they did. Even if the commander structured a formation, his soldiers were no match for Wei Jin’an.
The youth could also use any weapon with ease. Even an ordinary weapon could carry tremendous power in Wei Jin’an’s hand, and he could quickly brake the soldiers’ formation. Moreover, he had hidden weapons on him.
‘If I guessed correctly, his hidden weapon is powerful and seems to have come from the Gongsun family. The Gongsun family is helping the Weis.’
The commander saw no other way of defeating the youth. He became anxious since more and more of his people were dying. Although he cherished his life, he could not let too many of his men die.
Still, hundreds of his men had died, and even a round-robin battle could not do anything to the youth. The commander could only say to the two assassins beside him, “Kill him! Kill him now!”
However, one of the assassins said, “We’re responsible for protecting you.”
“Protecting me is pointless if you don’t kill that man,” the commander said anxiously, “I’ll only be fine if you kill him, so kill him now!”
Then one of them moved and jumped out to attack the youth at breakneck speed. The assassin’s figure resembled a ghost, and the soldiers could not see him.
The man was an assassin and was excellent at killing in one blow. However, Wei Jin’an neutralized the assassin’s killing move with ease. The assassin could not hurt him no matter what moves he used.
On the contrary, the youth’s strength was impeccable, using his spear to shake off the assassin.
Meanwhile, the other assassin stood before the commander, his eyes narrowing dangerously. “Interesting. He blocked my student’s killing move. That man has such power and self-defense abilities even at a young age. I simply must meet him.”
The master assassin made his move and began attacking Wei Jin’an with his student. The soldiers watched the two assassins tangle with the youth and began to swarm forward to join the onslaught.
At that moment, a black shadow appeared on the city wall behind Wei Jin’an and shot an arrow aimed directly at Wei Jin’an’s back. The arrow tore through the air and pierced straight at the youth..
