Chapter 331: Chase to kill in the wilds
Swish, swish, swish, whistling sounds resounded.
Ordinary soldiers had yet to react, but Extinction Taoist was already retreating quickly, pulling Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han behind.
Sad and shrill screams suddenly resounded throughout the night sky and rows after rows of soldiers fell.
There was one arrow that had shot straight towards Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han. Its power exhausted only after it pierced through the chest of three soldiers in succession, then it disappeared changing into red light specks.
The heart of Li Guang Han jumped crazily. He almost blacked out in this instant and cold sweats appeared on his forehead.
If it was not for Extinction Taoist pulling him away, or if those three bodyguards weren’t standing in front of him by coincidence, then now, the one rolling on the ground would be him!
“Withdraw, retreat to the main camp, quick!”
Extinction Taoist gave an order in a stern voice and then pulling Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han who was still in a daze, he turned away. He gave up meeting with the soldiers at the stone fortress of the peak, he turned around and fled down the hill.
With a hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, the fighting capability of Cloud Mist Sect had increased sharply, moreover, Ye Chuan was bringing up the rear in person. It was very likely that the stronghold at the peak will be destroyed tonight, so it was a bad idea to rush to that stronghold as they would be surrounded by Cloud Mist Sect with nowhere to go. Besides, there were countless vines in the front, they couldn’t rush forward even if they wanted.
The remaining soldiers also retreated hastily. When coming, they had an awesome bearing, now, in the blink of an eye, they threw away their helmet and chainmail in terror. Even Extinction Taoist was injured, who was the opponent now?
Compared to soldiers, Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was even more depressed as he gritted his teeth.
He had come out of camp after a long time, but he unexpectedly met Ye Chuan and his ambush. In the past, he would have definitely risked his life, but now, he only had thoughts to run for his life.
“Chase, don’t let anyone escape!”
Ye Chuan commanded coldly as he personally led everyone to chase. The guards of the fortress finally reacted. They dispatched a squad to reinforce, but this squad of 300 soldiers was drowned by the vines in an instant, as a result, the remaining soldiers became so scared that they were jumpy and they hastily closed the door and no longer daring to show themselves. As for the elite disciples of Cloud Mist Sect and yao beast legion, they chased after Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han and his group with all their strength.
At this moment, the dim light of night shrouded the earth and the cold wind was bone chilling.
On this dark towering mountain and precipitous ridge, both sides staged a fierce chase. Soldiers would fall to the ground time to time.
Perhaps, in order to desperately fight to protect Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han, or, perhaps, they perfectly knew that it was hard to avoid death, soldiers frequently stayed behind in batches trying to stop the pursuing troops behind. Unfortunately, regardless of ordinary soldiers or the experts of inner palace, under the bombardment of hundred Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, they were unable to resist, followed closely by a large number of Cloud Mist Sect’s disciples rushing forward and then yao beast legion, all of them changed into unrecognizable corpses. Slowly, the group of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han became fewer and fewer.
Someone urgently asked help from a nearby stronghold, but the nearest stronghold was at least 20 li away. When the reinforcement arrived, even their corpses might have already become ice-cold. Besides, unless the main force hurry over or some powerful experts rushed over, all others would only be courting death in vain by coming here. Under the bombardment of those terrifying Dragon Headed Flying Crossbows, many died!
In this chase, Ye Chuan had been chasing maintaining a fixed distance between him and Li Guang Han’s group, silently waiting for the final moment to arrive.
Tonight, encountering the group of Da Qin Crown Prince Li Guang Han was a chance, a very rare chance. The target of Ye Chuan was not only Li Guang Han, furthermore was also Extinction Taoist. Killing this evil Taoist was equivalent to chopping off the hands of Li Guang Han and disposing of half the fighting capability of Da Qin army. Then, from the next battle, they would have the initiative.
