Chapter 1587: 765 New Legend (third update)

King Heifeng’s entire muscular structure tightened as he made a leap!

Almost at the same moment, the Black Demon Horse and the dead soldiers also arrived.

“The bridge is broken! The bridge is broken! Don’t go over!” the Han Family guards shouted loudly!

The dead soldiers abruptly reined in their horses, and together with the Black Demon Horse, they came to a screeching halt with a sharp turn at the edge of the cliff.

The reason they were able to stop was partly due to the dead soldiers’ intervention and partly due to the Black Demon Horse’s instinctive avoidance of danger.

The Black Demon Horse retreated a few steps.

This was a distance that even the Black Demon Horse could not leap across.

Nobody dared to look down anymore.

King Heifeng and that cavalry were about to fall off the cliff.

“Ah—” a guard screamed, “Look! It, it, it—”

It made the leap!

It surpassed its own instincts, overcame its fear of cliffs, and leaped across a distance that no warhorse had ever dared to challenge since ancient times!

It was the undisputed King of the Black Wind!

The guards on both sides of the bridge were collectively stunned, temporarily forgetting to react, allowing King Heifeng to carry Gu Jiao smoothly past several Han Family guards.

“Ah! They’ve escaped!” said a guard who was knocked aside, clutching his aching chest.

However, nobody made a move to pursue.

The young man’s unreserved trust, and King Heifeng’s resolute struggle, showed them the most precious thing on the battlefield.

They didn’t know what kind of spirit it was, only feeling their hearts drenched in warm blood.

They didn’t want to chase anymore.

At least, not at this moment.

…

Lord Han Five’s prediction was correct; the three moves Gu Jiao used to defeat him came at the expense of almost all her strength, a method of fighting she had never used before in any battle due to its exhaustiveness.

But even so, she was unable to kill Han Ci.

Han Ci was too strong.

Blood continually surged up her throat, spilling out from the corners of her mouth.

At first, she was able to swallow it down with effort, but later on, she didn’t even have the strength to suppress the sweetness in her throat, and the blood stained King Heifeng’s back.

She persisted out of sheer willpower.

King Heifeng’s situation wasn’t much better either. Normally, horses at full speed need to rest after twenty or thirty miles, and cavalry move at an urgent pace of only seventy or eighty miles a day.

If it’s a forced march, they can cover over a hundred miles, but even then, they would take breaks.

Only when running a horse to death would one continue without stopping for several hundred miles.

Two hundred miles.

Two hundred and fifty miles.

Two hundred and sixty miles.

…

King Heifeng repeatedly approached his limits, repeatedly on the verge of collapse, but each time he gritted his teeth and managed to keep going.

At daybreak, the heavy rain ceased.

The first rays of dawn penetrated the thin clouds, swept over the mountain peaks, and shone upon the quiet and desolate camp.

Every day, the military officers were awakened by the beating of war drums.

However, today they were roused by a series of urgent hoofbeats.

Thinking they were under attack, they rushed to the camp entrance, only to see a pitch-black warhorse and a blindfolded young man.

Man and horse arrived with the break of day, carrying the momentum of thousands of troops, making the whole landscape tremble!

Gu Jiao successfully handed the bamboo tube to the Deputy Left Commander of the guards.

The Deputy Left Commander, looking at the blindfolded young man, couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of him.

The young man did not react.

The Deputy Left Commander was astonished.

Had he been blind all along?

Then how did he manage to rush three hundred miles to get here?

Just as the Deputy Left Commander was about to ask Gu Jiao what was wrong with her eyes, he saw the pair collapse on the ground in exhaustion.

The Deputy Left Commander was greatly shocked: “Someone! Call for the Medical Officer—”
