Bab 209: Beacon

Wuyi struggled after the impact – it felt much like slamming a spear into a castle, but he kept his seat. He did not expect to hurt the specter, who had mainly bones, with his spear, but the valor Qi did work and swept on, leaving his spear. The next two men in the wedge – Baijian and another warrior – each put their Qi infused spears into the thing after him, or so he had to hope, because he was riding past, and the rest of the bodyguards were on him. The Dushas were as tall as the specter, and one blow from one of their weapons would crush Wuyi's armor and kill him. But he rode as if inspired – he leaned, Haruki danced, and no blow fell fully on him.
