"Find an opportunity to disable the Headless Knight's hands. Even if he can recover, if his weapon is taken, could he conjure a new one out of thin air?"
Riding horses was feasible in the forest, but the terrain was not suited for charging. The Headless Knight's horse was no ordinary steed, and Zheng Yichen, standing on higher ground, still couldn't intercept the Knight's charge.
The horse simply disregarded certain terrains as it charged up, its sword ablaze with a ghostly green fire, chopping at Zheng Yichen's neck. In life, the Knight had been a warrior with considerable sword skills, which he retained even after death.
Compared to Zheng Yichen, who only knew how to thrust with pole arms, the Knight's skills were far superior. Zheng Yichen's advantage was his weapon's reach.
He struck first before the Headless Knight could reach him. However, this time the Knight came prepared, leaning back during the charge to dodge the attack. Lacking a head, his evasion was even quicker.
