Chapter 65 - 65. Battle With Great General Di II

Third person POV

Hong er imposingly stood in front of the soldiers and in front of her was Di Yu that proudly looked at Hong er. Weisheng silently followed behind Hong er, he worriedly stared at Hong er. Hong er cupped her fist towards Di Yu and he cupped his fist back to her.

Di Yu: ' This kid is something else.'

Hong er: ' Great General Di, known for his great skill in controlling magic and a great fighter. It will be a fun battle.'

*flashback

Weisheng worriedly looked at Hong er, he grabbed Hong er's hand and pulled her to his embrace.

Weisheng: " Please come back unscathed."

Hong er: " Uhm, I will."

Weisheng: " Why do you have to personally fight him?"

Hong er: " Because I don't want to be a woman waiting for someone to protect me."

Weisheng: " But you will get hurt."

Hong er: " It is normal to get hurt in battle."

Weisheng: " Let me take your place."

Hong er: " No, I don't want that. I want to face Great General Di myself."

Weisheng: " But I can't bear to see you get hurt."

Hong er: " If Sheng ge helps me when I fight with Great General Di, I won't talk to you anymore."

Weisheng: " But-"

Hong er: " Sheng ge, do you trust me?"

Weisheng: " En."

Hong er: " Trust me, I can do this."

Weisheng: " En, I trust you."

*flashback end

Di Yu: " Are you Tingfeng's daughter?"

Hong er: " Yes, I am."

Di Yu: " Hhmm, you are different from him."

Hong er laughed out loud.

Hong er: " Ahahaha."

Di Yu: " What are you laughing at?"

Hong er: " No, people usually said that I'm very similar to father. it is new to hear that I'm different from him."

Di Yu: ' I take back my words, her and that stupid friend of mine's laugh are exactly the same.'

Di Yu: " Then I hope we have a fun fight."

Hong er: " Me too."

Di Yu put on his battle mask, his eyes never left Hong er's. A horn sounded out, the soldiers shouted and marched in full speed. They clashed but it was different from yesterday, Da Chu's soldiers spirit were at peak. Dong Fang's soldiers were caught off guard, they thought that it would be as easy as yesterday, they went all out in offense.

At the same time Di Yu and Hong er immediately disappeared from their horse, they appeared in the air. They swung their weapon in full strength and aura, the moment their weapon clashed, a strong gust of wind blown away the soldiers below. Underneath their mask, a wide smile appeared on their face.

Di Yu: ' This kid is strong!'

Hong er: ' As expected of father's friend!'

Di Yu had 3 element magics, gravitation, lightning, and earth. The sky above them started to darken, a grey cloud whirled above them, lightning started to crackle inside the whirlwind. The lightning started to acc.u.mulate to Di Yu's spear, every time his spear clashed, a lightning struck Hong er's sword.

As Hong er possessed almost every element, she used the lightning that Di Yu had gathered. She gathered the lightning into her sword and when the two weapon loaded with Qi ( Aura/ magic) clashed, caused a big explosion. The dark clouds immediately cleared up, the people below them retreated as they felt another explosion would happen.

Di Yu used his gravitation magic to slam Hong er flat to the ground, as Hong er was slammed to the ground, a huge hole appeared. He immediately used his earth magic to bury Hong er inside and pierced his spear to the ground, after 5 seconds there was no movement nor sound under the ground.

Weisheng's eyes widened but he continued to slash the enemy soldiers.

Weisheng: ' I have to trust Hong er!'

Di Yu scrunched his eyebrow, he suddenly summoned his Guan Dao and swung it to his side. A sword stroke his Guan Dao in a full force as he flew and was slammed to one of the mountain. Right after Di Yu was slammed to one of the mountain he swung his Guan Dao to his front as Hong er flew towards his direction and swung her sword to him. The trees were blown as the wind exploded from the impact of their weapons.

Hong er used both of her hands to push her sword towards Di Yu while Di Yu was holding his Guan Dao with both his hand to block Hong er's sword. They were staring at each other with respect.

Hong er: " Uncle Di, you are stronger than what the rumors said about you."

Di Yu: " Hahaha, you are more amazing than what Tingfeng said in the letter."

Hong er's smile got wider as she used gravitation magic to add more pressure on her sword. Di Yu used his gravitation to lessen the pressure as he used his earth magic to sneakily attack Hong er from behind. A huge sharp spear that made of soil pierced down to Hong er's back, but a gust of wind destroyed the spear.

The ground and wind around them start to clash with each other, the mountain was shaking as the fight between them became more and more tense. As the magic reached its peaks, a huge whirlwind enveloping the mountain, not long after, an enormous explosion blew everything away.

The whirlwind slowly dispersed and the tall mountain that proudly stood there was gone. As all of the soldiers had stopped fighting because they were too focused on Di Yu and Hong er's fight, suddenly a figure flew down from the sky and rolled across the battlefield. The soldiers immediately swept their eyes to look who was the fallen figure.

Hong er slowly stood up and got on her stance, a quarter of her mask cracked, revealing half of her face. Blood flew down from her cheek but what caught their attention was her smile. Even with her body covered with cuts and blood, she still maintained her smile. Di Yu landed across her, then the Dong Fang's soldiers was shocked to see their general's condition.

Half of his mask were sliced into halves, a long cut on his left cheek. His arms and legs were full of cut and blood. They never saw their general this battered before. All of them had the same thought when they saw their condition.

' Who will be the winner?'
