The originally bustling with noise and excite Wan City, due to its people and livestock left until none rehost do sun in the sky was like athe boundless, infinite prairie, illu Wan that it looked like a shi+ny white jade Inside Cheng Zhen’s house, the three fed their horses until they were full first, before leading the the large ah water for the horses as they were running for their lives However, the horses e quantities of darts and arrows they collected were already a heavy load
Were it not for their secret s, the three divine steed definitely would not be able to overrun Xieli’s Golden Wolf Arhan spoke with a bitter smile, “Some say that Xieli has more than ten thousand men, some others say thirty or forty thousand, yet soe army of a hundred thousand; each stateht to be one or two thousandput the barely re a hundred or so iron bullets entirely into his outer robe’s pocket He said, “Although what they saw ht uard unit, hence they estiht to be close to ten thousand men I don’t think Xieli would deploy that , “Ling Shao, don’t use the Five-Colored Stone as an iron bullet to attack Xieli’s Golden Wolf Ar responded in displeasure, “I already keep it in the inside pocket!”
Ba Fenghan said, “Those several Heshui troops that I asked, not one saw Xieli’s rassland tribes fleeing fro the way, destroying a lot of ca not a feo’s pair of eyes flaring greatly, he fiercely said, “Debt of blood must be paid in blood [idio to hi said, “Shaoshuai, do you think that kid Xiang Yushan would be by Xieli’s side, giving him advice? Only he would know this kind of trick to force us to stay and fight”
Kou Zhong sighed and said, “That possibility is quite high That Xiang kid is indeed a calan arose in the three men’s heart at the same time; they looked at the street Like a specter, Zhu Yuyan leaped down fro across the street into the middle of the street and came over to the three She ide hemp cloak, her face was covered in a layer of muslin cloth “You want to throay your lives?” she spoke indifferently
Ba Fenghan s away our lives, the people of Tong Wan will definitely die, or perhaps even if they live, it would not be better than death”
“Nonsense!” Zhu Yuyan coldly said, “You, Ba Fenghan, were not a blockhead like this before; you must be infected by these two foolish kids to do this kind of foolish things In the prairie, these matters happen every day since ancient times; since when does it beco his shoulders, Kou Zhong said, “Other things we need notbecause of us; we are duty bound”
“Does Zhu Zongzhu have any infor asked
Zhu Yuyan was silent for a moment before slowly said, “I have searched the area within a hundred li frohan spoke indifferently, “He was here last night, and wore us out that we did not have a good night sleep”
“What?” Zhu Yuyan blurted out
Even hidden behind two layers of blackout of her eyes
Kou Zhong explained briefly, and then added, “The reason Zhu Zongzhu did not sense his presence it just because the Relics is not on him at all”
Zhu Yuyan coldly said, “He will always have to take the Relics with hi to co to stubbornly insist on seeking a death path? In the prairie, Xieli has never hed and said, “If we are lucky and don’t die, ill definitely cooperate with Zongzhu to get rid of shi+ Zhixuan”
Laughing coldly, Zhu Yuyan said, “Do you knohere to findreplied, “To be quite honest, we also know the secret to sense the Relics; otherwise, ould not have pursued hi Wan”
Zhu Yuyan’s tender body slightly shook, she said, “That’s impossible Only demonic school people know this technique very well”
Kou Zhong laughed aloud and said, “The fact is like this; when did we ever tell lies? There is notthe saddle on the horseback, Ba Fenghan said, “You, Senior, better be a bit ive us, four people, the opportunity to join hands to deal with him”
Zhu Yuyan spoke softly, “Nujia precisely wish that he would be willing to coe feeling welled up in the three men’s heart at the sa this kind of intonation
Putting her fingers to her mouth, Zhu Yuyan produced a sharp whistle From far away came the sound of hoof beats; a steed, its entire body was snohite, appeared fro street, and quickly, as fast as the clouds, as swift as an arrow – galloped over
This top martial art of the de tenderly, she said, “Although you guys are fools, but you are genuinely good , she urged the horse to get out of the city, and rapidly disappeared in the distance
After the sound of hoof beats vanished, Kou Zhong said with a wry sh?”
Xu Ziling laughed calmly He replied, “I am afraid ill have to wait until after the fact to hed heartily as they got on their horses and galloped toward the south gate
On the northeastern horizon, the fire illuon spreading out with the wind, s trembled, their heart startled The three reined their horses and stopped north of the Helian Fort
Frowning, Kou Zhong said, “What’s going on there?”
Ba Fenghan said, “That is the forest at the west bank of Wuding River, a tributary of Heshui [the Black River] The wind brings the blaze toward the river and the opposite bank, cutting off the ay traffic Furthermore, itover froame that Xieli is accustomed to play It is both to lure the enemy and confuse the enemy, but also has substantive role”
“Will Xieli be there?” Xu Ziling asked
Shaking his head, Ba Fenghan replied, “Such a s fire to the forest, Xieli could randomly select a dozen of his men, and it can easily be done; there is no need for hi his crowd”
Pointing to the distance, Kou Zhong said, “That place also catches fire”
Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling focused their eyes to look toward the south, there was indeed a bit of red light at the end of the prairie, only it appeared pale under the brilliant han said, “There shouldn’t be any dense forest like the bank of Wuding River over there Let’s go over there to take a look Right now I really want to kill soh the night [orig with the moon draped over their shoulders and the stars worn over their bodies], rushi+ng over the great prairie, until the forest fire of the Wuding riverbank beca lines on their left rear Ahead, they could clearly see the raging fla in the air, covering the sky above, so that thesuddenly pulled the reins and shouted, “Enemy ahead!”
They saw fro at full speed
Xu Ziling’s left hand immediately went inside the pouch and held four iron bullets inside his fingers This kind of secret projectile skill, he had already -the-heart’s-desire level On top of that, with his hand i to and fro, so that others could not guard against it, could not evade frouished Sun Bohile his other hand went into the quiver by the saddle to fetch an arrow, ready to put the arrow on the bow But Ba Fenghan put up his hand to stop the and Xu Ziling ihttook this opportunity to put away his bow and hold back his arrow to express his good will When he looked at theover, he saw that none was not wounded and was bleeding; he knew that they had just gone through intense battle
The leader was tall, his shoulder broad and thick, on the side of his square-shaped face he grew a cun-long lonesome beard joined with each other His face was full of dust, blood and sweat Under his thick eyebroere slender and pretty eyes, which were not quite in contrast with his high cheekbones and sticking out nose The warrior outfit he as full of dried-out blood and grass and mud But his eyes were still so staunch and sober and cool-headed He looked to be around twenty-five, twenty-six years old, reminiscent of the protector Vajra warriors inside the teer body shook, he shouted in Tujue language, “Is it Huihe’s Yaoluo Tribe shi+jian Houjin’s son, Pusa [the Bodhisattva] whobefore him?”
