Outside Luoran Pass.
Dark night fell and the bright moon hung high. On the road near the jungle, Yue Leiting and Shi Guanshan were galloping on their horses.
Only the two of them were left.
But the pursuers behind them are not very fast. As long as they climb over this hill, the guards ambushing on the opposite side will be able to come over to meet them. By then, they will be truly safe.
However, Yue Leiting turned around a mountain col.
He saw a familiar figure sitting on a horse, looking at him from a distance.
The man held a large bow in his hand, with arrows cocked on it.
Looking at Yue Leiting from a distance, he shot an arrow without hesitation.
Then, there were several more arrows in succession.
It can be seen that the man's archery skills are extremely good. With a few arrows, all Yue Leiting's retreat routes and evasive directions have been calculated in advance.
"Lao Wu, it's you!"
Yue Leiting's eyes were about to burst.
That familiar figure is the fifth among his eighteen adopted sons, named Yue Wu.
Yue Wu is the child of one of his brothers who had a life-long friendship.
Before the brother died in the battle, he entrusted the child to him.
Yue Leiting cultivated him as his own son. He was never short of resources and devoted a lot of love to him.
Who would have thought that Yue Wu would come to kill him personally.
This made him very confused.
"Commander, retreat quickly."
Shi Guanshan, who was next to him, threw away Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand, flew forward and pushed Yue Leiting away from the horse, and the two of them rolled off the horse together.
But such an unconventional move also allowed Yue Leiting to avoid the arrow net woven by long arrows in the distance.
"Commander, cheer up, this is not your fault." Shi Guanshan gasped and said quickly.
Fortunately, Yue Leiting was only in a daze for a moment, and he soon adjusted his mentality.
Since everything in front of you has become a fait accompli, the reason is no longer important.
What he has to do now is to escape first according to the established plan, then gather his troops and strike hard.
"Let's go!" Yue Leiting decided to avoid the edge for the time being.
They had already exhausted most of their strength by breaking out of the siege earlier.
Now, facing Yue Wu, who has natural divine power, he is no longer an opponent.
Then, all he could do was to sneak into the jungle and abandon his horse.
With obstacles in front and pursuers behind him, he had to find another way.
Yue Leiting and Shi Guanshan were seen rushing into the jungle.
Yue Wu, who was standing in the distance, waved his hand, and the direct followers following him rushed towards the direction where Yue Leiting and Shi Guanshan left.
After a while, the pursuers arrived.
There is no way, a man with two legs cannot outrun a horse with four legs.
Zhong Nanxing and others did not have war horses to ride on, so they could only rely on two legs to run. As a result, they ended up here last.
In the jungle, Yue Leiting and Shi Guanshan were running out of breath.
"No, Commander, this time, my subordinates are really going to die here." Shi Guanshan felt like he couldn't straighten his waist.
He was injured to begin with, and after a bloody battle, his physical strength was almost exhausted.
"Let's go out together, Lao Shi, and hold on for a while. After passing this jungle, reinforcements will come."
Yue Leiting took Shi Guanshan's arm and supported him away.
Along the way, they took off their heavy armor and threw away everything except the daggers and daggers, just to be able to go into battle lightly and facilitate their escape.
"Commander, if they are chasing me, my subordinates will break up in a while. Commander, please leave quickly." Shi Guanshan raised his head, his face was covered with sweat mixed with blood.
Under the bright moonlight, his face looked a little pale.
This is a symptom of excessive blood loss.
"We walk together, advance together and retreat together."
"Do you still remember that bloody battle at Qishanguan?"
"It was the two of us, fleeing in the woods. We didn't know there were reinforcements at that time."
"Didn't you insist on coming here?"
"What are you afraid of? Let's go together!"
Yue Leiting supported Shi Guanshan and encouraged him.
Shi Guanshan took a breath, but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"At that time, we were still young, Commander-in-Chief, but now my subordinates are old and their energy and physical strength cannot keep up."
"I will not give up, Commander. My subordinates will persist until the last moment."
Shi Guanshan is not a person who gives up in the face of adversity, but he is not a blindly confident person either.
If there really was no chance, he would have no choice but to try his best to block it for a while.
Keep these inner thoughts in your heart, there is no need to explain them clearly.
Yue Leiting's eyes were already slightly red.
Even if Shi Guanshan doesn't say anything, doesn't he understand?
Having been brothers for so many years, he knew what Shi Guanshan would do.
Now, he didn't think about anything, he just rushed on his way. As long as he could break out of the jungle, he would immediately send out a signal for the Guards to respond.
The distance is too far and the signal cannot be sent randomly.
Otherwise, if he sends out and the Guards fail to arrive, but reveal his specific location to the pursuers, then the gain outweighs the loss.
"Commander, they are catching up."
But often bad things follow.
When Shi Guanshan pointed to the rear, Yue Leiting also saw several figures running towards them from behind.
Yue Wu in the distance set up an arrow and fired five more arrows in rapid succession.
This is Yue Wu's ultimate archery skill, and it is displayed vividly at this moment.
Yue Leiting only had a short sword left in his hand.
But at this time, he still remained calm and calm, swung his dagger and knocked away the long arrow that was shot at him.
However, these few blocks had exhausted the last of his energy and concentration.
He leaned against a tree as thick as a person, with his back pressed against the trunk. The internal force in his body was running rapidly, trying to restore his physical strength as quickly as possible.
He glanced sideways at Shi Guanshan.
My heart sank.
Shi Guanshan's originally crooked body actually stood up straight.
This is not a good thing.
This is Shi Guanshan burning his body's potential!
"Commander, let your subordinates block the last wave for you." Shi Guanshan opened his mouth, looked back at Yue Leiting, then stamped his feet on the ground, turned around and rushed towards the oncoming Yue Wu and others.
Yue Leiting stretched out his fingers, wanting to grab Shi Guanshan, and wanted to shout to tell him to come back.
But at this time, his throat was choked, but he couldn't say a word, and his eyes were blurred by tears.
"A few thieves, let your Grandpa Shi send you back to the west, haha!"
Shi Guanshan took a dagger, flew forward, and cut off one of them's neck with one blow.
His eyes were bloodshot and looked blood red.
This is a secret technique that can burn all the potential in the body.
It is said that it is an incomplete version of the blood-killing technique taught in Persia.
Shi Guanshan obtained this secret skill in the past and practiced it secretly, but he never used it in the future.
Because he knew that once this secret technique was actually used, it might be the last moment of his life.
And now, the critical moment has been reached.
