Unfortunately, they were just a fraction of a second too late. One of the lead horses failed to halt its momentum in time and stepped directly onto the concealed, leaf-covered trap!
Snap!
The vicious, heavy steel mechanism instantly activated with a sickening crunch. The horse let out a loud, pained neigh as its foreleg was brutally caught in the sharp iron jaws. The second horse, horrified by the sudden violence and the thrashing of its partner, instantly panicked. It reared high onto its hind legs, whinnying frantically as it wildly struggled to break free from the wooden carriage harness!
Before the driver could lose control, Bai Xifeng's figure flashed forward like a beam of light without the slightest hesitation! With one swift, breathtaking movement, she drew her glowing sword and cleanly slashed through the heavy leather reins connecting the panicked horse to the carriage.
Slash!
