Chapter 369 Golden Eagles and Fierce Tigers Appear Together, Capturing Shekui Khan Alive
"Khan!" Ashina Tongyahu galloped up to Shekui Khan, panting heavily, and shouted, "The livestock behind can't keep up!"
Shekui Khan gritted his teeth, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.
"Abandon the livestock!"
"What?" Ashina Tongyehu's eyes widened.
"I said abandon the livestock!" Shekui Khan practically roared. "Have the rest of the caravan drive all their livestock onto the road and block their path!"
"yes!"
Ashina Tongyehu turned his horse around and charged towards the rear of the column.
Soon, a commotion arose from the rear.
The livestock that were being driven along the road were pushed onto the road, crowding together and bleating loudly, completely blocking the road.
Having abandoned the livestock, the number of pursuers behind them decreased significantly, allowing Shekui Khan to finally catch his breath.
Now those small foreign countries will definitely be busy fighting over the livestock, and won't have time to chase him.
At the same time, guided by the golden eagle, Lü Xiao arrived directly in the northwest direction of the Western Turkic royal court.
Suddenly, a golden eagle cried out in the sky.
Lu Xiao raised his hand, signaling the team to stop.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Yuanqing stepped closer, gripping the silver hammer tightly in his hand.
Lu Xiao did not answer, but squinted and looked in the southeast direction.
"Let me hear it!"
Upon seeing this, Yuwen Chenglong immediately dismounted and lay down on the ground to listen.
dong dong dong...
The sound of horses' hooves rose from afar, growing louder and louder as it approached.
"A cavalry force has arrived."
Yuwen Chenglong stood up, a look of joy flashing across his face.
They specifically came all the way here to catch a big fish.
"Get ready."
Lu Xiao slowly drew his Wufang Tianji, the blade gleaming coldly in the morning light.
More than a hundred riders simultaneously drew their weapons.
There were no bugles, no war drums, only silence and murderous intent.
Shekui Khan ran all night.
Starting from the royal court, they headed west without stopping, their horses never dismounting.
His face was covered in dust, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were bloodshot; he looked ten years older.
But he didn't stop.
They didn't dare stop.
"Khan!" Ashina Tongyabhu caught up from behind, a hint of joy on his face. "The pursuers have been shaken off!"
Upon hearing this, the tense faces of the Western Turks finally relaxed slightly.
Shekui Khan was still afraid. What if Lü Xiao rode alone past the livestock and came straight for them?
He quickly gave the order: "Speed up! Once we cross that mountain ridge, we won't be far from the Land of Thousand Springs!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed a group of people on the ridge ahead.
This army was small in number, but the person in charge made his heart tremble!
The Red Hare neighed in the wind, and the two iconic pheasant feathers fluttered gently in the morning breeze.
Shekui Khan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned deathly pale in an instant.
Lü Xiao!
It's Lü Xiao!
Shouldn't he be chasing after him?
How did you end up in front?
"Khan..."
Ashina Tongyegu's voice trembled, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Lu Xiao rode his Red Hare horse at a leisurely pace down the mountain ridge.
More than a hundred riders followed behind him, their swords and spears gleaming, exuding a murderous aura. The two sides were only a few hundred paces apart.
Looking at that face, Shekui Khan felt a tightness in his throat, as if an invisible hand was gripping his neck.
This is the person.
This man, riding the Red Hare and wielding the halberd, single-handedly annihilated 100,000 of Loulan's elite troops on the ancient road.
Ballistae couldn't pierce him, chariots couldn't crush him, and rolling stones couldn't kill him.
Xue Rengao, Wang Buchao, and the Wolf Lord of Hami Kingdom—his most formidable generals—fell one by one under his halberd.
After returning to the royal court, he had nightmares for several nights in a row, all of which involved Lü Xiao chasing him.
Now, this person has actually appeared in front of me.
"Shekui Khan." Lü Xiao pulled on the reins, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching the ears of everyone present, "Where are you going?"
Just as he had expected, the Western Turks abandoned the royal court and fled.
Sure enough, they caught them every time.
Although Shekui Khan could not understand Lü Xiao's words, he could still discern some of their meaning; Lü Xiao was definitely mocking him.
"You don't understand, right? That's okay, I'll give you time to learn our language!"
As soon as Lü Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly pointed the halberd in his hand forward.
"kill!"
More than a hundred riders roared in unison, like a sharp dagger, piercing straight towards the Western Turkic army.
Although the Western Turks numbered in the tens of thousands, they had been fleeing for days, and their men and horses were exhausted, with morale at its lowest point.
Many people's legs went weak when they saw Lü Xiao.
The horrific scene on Langu Road was still vivid in their minds; the figure of that killing god was a nightmare they would never forget.
On Lü Xiao's side, although there were only a hundred or so men, each one was an elite among elites, with soaring morale and overwhelming killing intent.
Moreover, Lü Xiao himself was at the forefront.
The halberd swept out horizontally, its blade slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound.
The Western Turkic cavalrymen who were blocking the way didn't even have time to scream before they were cut in half at the waist, their blood gushing out.
Lü Xiao took the lead, like a god of war, charging left and right through the Western Turkic ranks.
Wherever the halberd blade passed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams of agony rose and fell.
Yuwen Chenglong followed closely behind, his silver spear flashing up and down, aiming specifically for vital points.
Pei Yuanqing, on the other hand, smashed each Western Turkic cavalryman with his hammer, breaking their bones and causing them to fall to the ground along with their horses.
With just over a hundred men, they fought with the ferocity of a thousand troops.
Shekui Khan watched this scene, a scene he had dreamt of repeatedly.
He just didn't expect his dream to come true so quickly.
Lu Xiao was even more valiant than in his dream, leading over a hundred men as they charged through tens of thousands of people as if they were nothing.
This is not a war, this is a massacre.
"Khan! Go quickly!" Ashina Tongyagu rushed to Shekui Khan's side and grabbed his reins. "I'll have my men hold them off, you go quickly!"
Shekui Khan then came to his senses, spurred his horse, turned it around, and charged diagonally into the distance.
run!
Must run!
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!
However, he hadn't run far when a sharp cry came from above.
He suddenly raised his head, his pupils contracting sharply.
A golden eagle is swooping down from the sky at an astonishing speed.
Before Shekui Khan could react, the golden eagle's sharp claws had already gripped his shoulder.
Sharp claws pierced through the leather armor and embedded themselves deeply in his flesh.
"what!"
Shekui Khan screamed as he was pulled off his horse and thrown heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Before he could even get up, a stench hit him.
A huge tiger suddenly appeared out of nowhere and bit his leg.
The tiger's teeth pierced through the flesh, and blood instantly soaked through the trouser leg.
Shekui Khan was trembling with pain, his face as pale as paper.
He raised his head, and a cold light descended, the incomparable Fangtian Halberd planted in front of him.
