But as thrilling as it was, was the head of my sect's mission about to fail?
Li Fan just stood there, staring dumbfounded at the chaotic scene unfolding before him.
The surrounding guards were all terrified by that strike, scattering like birds and beasts.
At that moment, a group of knights galloped out from the imperial city. Li Fan had no energy left to hide, so he just stood there watching them.
These men didn't look like the imperial guards, nor did they bear the appearance of having fought a night-long battle; instead, their armor was bright and shining, their helmets adorned with white plumes, mounted on tall, majestic steeds, carrying spears and bows, they looked absolutely heroic.
The leading knight glanced at the scene before him and then at Li Fan, who was standing in the middle of the street. He pointed his bow at Li Fan, and immediately one of the knights dismounted and brought a horse to Li Fan.
What's going on? Ride a horse? I don't know how!
