Wu Gen and the remaining six people hurriedly ran across the dark plains, changing from the vanguard to the tail of the team. The death of two of his subordinates made Wu Gen realize that the strength of Lingyun's eight cavalry was still weak, and there was not much advantage when encountering such heavy cavalry.
After giving an order, Wu Gen asked Zhuo Ke to lead the team, while he retreated to the end of the team, going back and forth in a zigzag pattern, blocking the opponent's attack and personally covering his family's retreat.
The sky-shattering bow lit up, and every white arrow fell into the heavy cavalry, just like plowing the ground, and a row of heavy cavalry fell to the ground one after another. Wu Gen stared at the opponent's formation coldly, and specifically targeted the person who looked like the leader. This move was indeed effective, and soon the formation of the heavy cavalry became chaotic.
It's not that the opponent didn't fight back, but Wu Gen easily knocked away the arrows he fired.
Blood bloomed like flowers in the night, and the wails of the fallen horse and rider grew from near to far.
No matter how strong a person is, seeing his companions dying one after another but being completely unable to do anything to them will make anyone feel timid. Gradually, the running speed of the heavy riders invariably slowed down, and the distance between them and Wu Gen and others became wider and wider.
After climbing over a gentle slope, Wu Gen and others finally got rid of their opponents' pursuit. Wu Gen looked a little ugly as he drove his horse back to join the team. Shooting so many arrows was a bit difficult given his cultivation level.
Zhuo Ke and others came forward, and Wu Gen waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, hurry up. The opponent is good, and he will catch up in a short time. There is a mountain in front of him. Once he enters the mountain, the heavy cavalry will lose its advantage."
In less than half an hour, seven people arrived at the foot of the mountain. Looking behind him, he saw that the figure of the heavy rider had not appeared yet, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"Let's go into the mountain." As soon as Wu Gen finished speaking, a figure flew from a distance and punched Wu Gen hard.
In desperation, Wu Gen had no choice but to cross his arms to block the sudden blow.
The opponent's strength was so great that Wu Gen felt as if he was hit by a running giant elephant, rolling and falling into the distance like a leaf. The horse underneath him whined, fell to the ground with all four legs, and died on the spot.
Zhuo Ke and Ha Ying screamed and rushed towards Wu Gen. Two other companions drew their swords and faced the opponent, trying to block the opponent.
With two muffled bang bang sounds, the two of them turned into two masses of blood mist, and died on the spot without even using a single move.
As soon as Wu Gen's feet landed on the ground, he shot out electricity and blocked Zhuo Ke and others.
A burly bearded man appeared in front of him. He was as tall as two ordinary people. He had no armor on his body and only wore cloth. He looked down at the group of people with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, you can withstand one strike from me." The strong man said coldly, pointing at Wu Gen with a finger as thick as a carrot, "If you can withstand three strikes from me again, I will let your men go. .As for you, I will give you a good time so that you don’t have to go back to Gaoyuan City to suffer.”
When Wu Gen heard this, he immediately knew the identity of the other party. This person was from the Heita family, "What do you call me, Your Excellency?"
"Heita Songhan, you must be Wu Gen." The big man said proudly.
"Not bad." Wu Gen pulled out the broken sword. The person opposite him was definitely more than the fourth realm. He must have stepped into the threshold of the fifth realm, otherwise he would not be able to receive even a single blow.
"When my family received the news that you were going to Liangxi Village, they sent me and others to rush here quickly. Fortunately, we intercepted a few of you thieves. Not bad, you actually killed so many of my men, but that's not bad at all. Now that I've arrived, just accept your fate." Heita Songhan said proudly.
Wu Gen's heart moved slightly, but he heard a different flavor from the other party's words: "You mean that the Heita family received the news before we came."
"That's right, these losers from Liangxi Village didn't stop you. You deserve to be used as ingredients. Okay, we're all going to die anyway, let's do it." Heita Songhan became a little impatient.
"You hold the line, don't move rashly." Wu Gen turned around and ordered Zhuo Ke and others, casually tore off the half-broken sleeve, holding a knife in both hands, and pointed it at Heita Songhan.
"Cut." Wu Gen stepped on his feet and instead of hitting his opponent directly, he circled around him. At the same time, the broken knife kept slashing towards the ground, bringing up the billowing dust and wrapping Heita Songhan in it.
Heita Songhan waved his sleeves contemptuously, brushing away the dust floating in front of him. Suddenly, an arrow shining with white light passed through the smoke and hit his face.
Heitasong laughed coldly, it was just a small trick of carving insects, that's not what a sneak attack does. Grabbing the arrow, the long speeding arrow came to an abrupt halt. With a firm grip, the long arrow turned into specks of color and gradually disappeared into the air.
People in the Five Realms are extremely perceptive to the changes around their bodies. Not even a needle or a grain of rice can escape their perception.
When a martial artist enters the five realms, he can form a certain range of potential field around his body, but it is just larger or smaller due to different cultivation levels. Within this range, it is like your own little world, and even the smallest movements of your opponent cannot escape your perception.
Entering the potential field is equivalent to entering someone else's home court. You are going against the trend in every aspect, and your moves are restricted. If you are not careful, you may get angry on the spot. Therefore, there is a saying that the end of the world is just around the corner, so many people are unwilling to fight with warriors in close combat.
Heita Songhan stood still, he was waiting, because time was with him. When the heavy cavalry in the distance caught up, these people might not be able to escape even if they had no wings.
Another arrow came, but it hit his ribs. Heita Songhan kicked it away with disdain. The long arrow flew into the air, and exploded a few seconds later, as if a big firework had been set off in the sky.
The third branch, the fourth branch...
Heita Songhan gradually felt that something was wrong. Wu Gen's arrows always came from one direction, and that place was exactly where the wind was. Although he didn't know what the other party was up to, his many years of fighting career still made Heita Songhan aware of a hint of conspiracy.
With a twist of his feet, Heita Songhan was already in front of Wu Gen. But the opponent's body swayed, teleporting to the other side like a loach, and continued to shoot arrows at him.
Heita Songhan chased him several times, only to find that the speed of this person was not inferior to his own. Looking at the opponent's realm, it seems that it is the fourth realm, and he can actually escape from his pursuit many times.
Why do you say it looks like it? Heita Songhan found that this person's human world seemed to have been completed, blood and energy were constantly being produced, and even the injuries he had just suffered were getting better.
Normally speaking, the world of martial arts warriors in the fourth realm is just a newborn, just like the chaos when the heaven and earth were first formed. After it is conceived little by little and reaches the fifth realm, thunder and calamity are born, and only then can the turbidity be distinguished and the yin and yang be determined.
As a skilled player in the Black Tower family, I have just entered the fifth realm, experienced the first lightning disaster in my life, and opened up my own small world.
Unexpectedly, this guy who didn't seem to have a very high level of cultivation had already opened it up in advance. This is strange. For a moment, Heita Songhan became curious and kept chasing Wu Gen, just to see how far his opponent could last.
Wu Gen saw the other party's intention and knew that if he continued to delay, he would definitely lose. The teleportation just now looked powerful, but every time it consumed a huge amount of physical energy. Even if there are supplements from the human world, the consumption is far greater than the supplies.
He is only in the fourth realm. Even if he opens up the human world by chance, he is still weak after all. Compared to Heita Songhan, it was like the difference between the rich and the poor. Naturally, they couldn't compete with each other.
There was a golden light glowing on his body, Wu Gen was gathering his blood, and his momentum continued to rise. At the same time, Wu Gen noticed signs of movement of the force inscriptions in his body. This was because Zhuo Ke, Ha Ying and others saw that he was struggling to cope and took the initiative to give the essence to him.
Heita Songhan slowed down his movements, wanting to see what other methods his opponent had.
Unexpectedly, Wu Genqiang stopped the operation of the inscription on his own, which puzzled Zhuo Ke and others.
"Cut." Wu Gen's body appeared in the air, the broken knife was raised high, and he slashed at Heita Songhan who was looking up at Heita Songhan like an eagle striking with thunder.
Heita Songhan stood there without moving, with contempt on his face, waiting for the knife to come.
As soon as he entered the place ten feet in front of Songhan in the black tower, Wu Gen suddenly changed his color. The body felt like it was walking in mud, pressure came from all directions, as if it was carrying a mountain on its back, and the body suddenly slowed down.
He wanted to retreat backwards, but a greater resistance came, preventing him from escaping.
In desperation, Wu Gen gritted his teeth and had no choice but to mobilize all his blood and move forward. The knife stopped a foot in front of Heita Songhan, and the blade shook sharply. Wu Gen discovered that he could not point the knife at the opponent. What kind of method was this?
Heita Songhan stretched out two fingers of his left hand and clamped the tip of the broken knife. Looking at the surprised Wu Gen, he smiled slightly and said, "The sword is pretty good, but it's a pity that it's broken. The cultivation level is also okay, but it's a pity that the time is too short. I admit that if you grow up more, I won't be able to do it again." Control. But, there are so many what-ifs in the world."
Following his words, his right hand hit Wu Gen hard.
Wu Gen's back protruded sharply, and a clear fist mark could be seen. The bodies curled up like shrimps and flew high into the air.
With a clang, the broken knife fell to the ground. Wu Gen also fell heavily to the ground, his body bounced twice and died.
"Master of the village." Zhuo Ke and others were shocked. They shot arrows at Songhan in the black tower and ran towards Wu Gen.
Wu Gen lay quietly on the ground, eyes closed, blood pouring out from under his body, his chest was covered in flesh and blood, and even his ribs were exposed, which was shocking.
This punch almost interrupted Wu Gen's life. Only the occasional beating of the heart proves that the person is still alive.
Zhuo Ke picked up Wu Gen, tears streaming down his face, and hurriedly trying to cover his wounds. But the wound on his chest was too big to help, and blood continued to seep out from between his fingers.
"Zhuo Ke, you take the village leader away, I will stay behind and avenge us in the future." Ha Ying gritted his teeth, and he and the remaining two people drew their swords against Heita Songhan. Even though they were defeated, there was no such thing as the Eight Riders of Ling Yun who would not resist and wait for death.
Heita Songhan stepped in front of Wu Gen and exposed his back to Ha Ying and others. After being stunned for a moment, Ha Ying and the other three turned around and slashed at Heita Songhan, who had his back turned.
There were three muffled sounds of bang bang bang, and as soon as the knife was swung out, the three of them flew out one after another, suffering serious internal injuries.
"Death." Seeing that the other party refused to let go, Zhuo Ke put down Wu Gen and roared towards Heita Songhan, who was walking step by step.
Heita Songhan didn't even look at it. With a flick of his fingers, Zhuo Ke flew out and fell to the ground motionless.
Wu Gen's body floated up, and his neck fell into Heita Songhan's hands. Looking at Wu Gen, who was pale due to blood loss and with his head tilted to one side, Heita Songhan shook his head slightly.
Suddenly, his hand froze, his brows furrowed, and his face turned red and purple. As soon as his hand loosened, Wu Gen fell to the ground.
Heita Songhan covered his chest, and a chill spread through his body, seeming to condense his blood. No matter how the heart beats, the blood is still like the stream in early winter, gradually forming ice flowers and running unstoppably towards the direction of turning into solid ice.
Ahem, Heita Songhan really lived up to his name. He felt abnormally cold all over his body and his body gradually became stiff.
Suddenly, Wu Gen suddenly jumped up on the ground, and the force inscriptions in his body were running wildly, ruthlessly plundering the essence from Zhuo Ke and others to his own body.
Using his hand as a palm, he thrust straight into Heita Songhan's heart. Without a knife and a palm, at such a close distance, no matter how strong the potential field is, it will have no effect.
The palm pierced an inch of Heita Songhan's skin, but it was like touching a net made of countless iron chains, making him walk with difficulty. Even if it invades the opponent's potential field, the body of a fifth-level warrior is the best defense.
Heita Songhan's face turned ferocious, and he looked fiercely at Wu Gen, who was close at hand with murderous intent on his face.
Some people died, but not completely...
