Zhong Pengfei and the other seven people have almost exhausted their mana. The elixirs used to restore their mana have been used up, and they will be unable to fly due to exhaustion in a short time.
"Hold on, they don't dare to chase Anping City!" Zhong Pengfei's mouth was bloody, but he still cheered everyone up.
"Elder, we're afraid we won't be able to fly to Anping City, so why not save some mana and fight with them!" Cheng Shijie gritted his teeth.
"No, that's just seeking death. In this way, I have the highest cultivation level. I will block it for a while, and you grit your teeth. After more than a thousand miles, we will reach the teleportation array of Tongzhou Trading Company!" Zhong Pengfei categorically rejected.
"No, we must live together and die together!" Gong Yuyan gritted her teeth.
"Yes, we must be together in life and death!" The other three said the same.
"Okay, let's go!" Zhong Pengfei had no choice but to lead a few people to rush with swords.
There was no elixir, so they had to hold two spiritual stones each and absorb the spiritual power with all their strength, but the effect was extremely poor.
After barely flying for several hundred miles, they could no longer fly and had to land on a small hill to recover.
Zhong Pengfei supported his body and set up a simple defensive formation.
"Kill!" In a short time, the pursuers arrived. More than twenty Tianyuan cultivators surrounded the hill and launched a fierce attack in the air.
Zhong Pengfei's formation skills were average, and the defensive formation could not stop these people's attack. It only lasted for more than ten breaths before it broke down, leaving seven people completely exposed to the attack.
The eyes of these black-clothed cultivators were full of teasing, and they moved tightly and loosely like a cat catching a mouse.
The seven people felt so aggrieved that they could only defend passively, enduring the blows from the air, and suffered more and more wounds on their bodies.
Fu Shuangbing was furious and swung his best magic weapon to attack a person in the air. However, the cultivator in the air was very flexible and dodged with a slight flicker of his sword light.
When the two soldiers in ambush launched a counterattack again, they were hit by a red light in the back and passed through the chest. Fu Shuangbing opened his mouth and spit out a blood arrow, and his body fell limply.
"Double soldiers!" Cheng Shijie dodged a ray of white light and jumped towards Fu Shuangbing, but was shot back by two arrows.
At the same time, two other people were also killed by random arrows. Only Zhong Pengfei, Cheng Shijie and his wife were left on the hill, as well as the seriously injured Fu Shuangbing and another Tianyuan cultivator.
"Hey, elder, it's better to surrender! Our adults have said that as long as you surrender and swear to join the Holy Empire, we will not only ensure your safety, but also provide a large amount of training materials to help you in your cultivation. To advance by leaps and bounds, how about it?" The leading man in black chuckled and began to persuade them to surrender.
"Bah! What kind of bullshit is the Holy Dynasty? They are just a bunch of black beasts. How can we, the dignified cultivators from Hezhou Continent, associate with the beasts!" Cheng Shijie angrily rebuked.
"Yes, we are born as Hezhou people and die as Hezhou ghosts. How can we associate with a group of black beasts!" Gong Yuyan also said angrily.
"Shijie, Yuyan, stand down!" Zhong Pengfei spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted the two of them back.
"Elder, you!" Cheng Shijie was stunned. What does Elder Zhong want to do? Do you want to surrender?
"My lord, do you mean what you say?" Zhong Pengfei's newborn arm was severely injured again. It was bleeding and he could no longer use force, but he still held his fist and saluted with difficulty.
"Elder, what do you mean?" Gong Yuyan scolded. She never expected that Elder Zhong, who had always been highly respected, would surrender to the enemy at a critical moment, which made her furious.
"Haha, elder, don't worry. As long as you surrender to the Holy Dynasty, I will definitely fulfill my promise and I will never break my promise!" The leader of the men in black laughed.
In his opinion, these people were at the end of their rope. Even the strongest warriors would become timid in the face of death.
"Zhong Pengfei, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. I guess I misjudged you!" Cheng Shijie's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at Zhong Pengfei and cursed angrily.
Zhong Pengfei looked at the couple with helplessness on his face and said: "We are in a desperate situation, and we have no choice but to surrender. Whether we are cultivators from Hezhou or people from the Holy Dynasty, our ultimate goal has not changed. Listen to me, Submit yourself to the Holy Dynasty!"
When Cheng Shijie heard this, he was furious, while Gong Yuyan's eyebrows stood up, and the two of them stared at Zhong Pengfei with cannibalistic eyes.
However, after a few breaths, they also lowered their heads.
"Hahahaha, okay, okay! If you do this so early, how can you suffer so much. But in order to show your loyalty, you still need to sign a blood contract. Come on, give the blood contract!" The leader ordered several men in black. The man landed on the hill and sent over the four jade slips of the blood contract.
The disappointment in Zhong Pengfei's eyes flashed away. He looked at each other and Cheng Shijie and his wife, then reached out and took the blood contract jade slip.
"What are you still hesitating about? Sign quickly!" Seeing that the four people did not hand over a trace of their souls immediately, the leader's face darkened and he shouted loudly.
"Sir, as a subordinate, you must personally preside over the signing of the blood contract!" Zhong Pengfei raised his head and looked at the leader.
The man's face was full of disdain. He didn't cast his sword light, but just laughed and said: "I am here to witness, sign it quickly!"
A fierce look flashed in Zhong Pengfei's eyes, and the magic power in his body began to swell. The same happened to Cheng Shijie, his wife and the Tianyuan cultivator.
"No, they're going to blow themselves up!" The man sensed something was wrong and hurriedly reminded several of his men on the hill.
However, at this moment, hundreds of black arrows roared in, shooting the seventeen or eight men in black in the air into a hornet's nest. Only the leader reacted faster and avoided the critical point, only being hit by two arrows. , fled in fear.
The four Zhong Pengfei who were about to self-destruct were shocked when they saw this. They stopped self-destruction and turned their heads to look over.
After the arrow feathers, dozens more white lights struck, killing the four men in black on the hill.
After a few breaths, hundreds of sword lights appeared in the sight of Zhong Pengfei and others.
"General Manager Shi!" Zhong Pengfei was overjoyed. He knew the leader, it was Shi Zhonghao, the General Manager of Foreign Affairs of Tongzhou Commercial Bank in Anping City.
Today, Shi Zhonghao has advanced to the fake elixir level, and Zhong Pengfei had discussed important matters with him when he was the foreign affairs elder of Ziyuan Sect.
"Elder Zhong, what happened to Tu Yancheng?" Shi Zhonghao asked anxiously.
"Alas, the whole city fell, and only a few of us escaped." Zhong Pengfei sighed.
"Tu Yan is also lost!" Shi Zhonghao and others looked ugly.
Anping City was breached, the teleportation array was completely destroyed, and they couldn't go anywhere. The only hope was to return to Tuyan for temporary shelter, and then find a way to escape to other places.
Now that they have even lost their place to stay, where else can they go?
"Manager Shi, could it be that Anping also..." Zhong Pengfei had a premonition of something and his expression changed.
Shi Zhonghao nodded bitterly.
