Chapter 605: Escape
Ximen Hitomi even regretted a little, he shouldn't have fled into this ruined temple, just because the other party was too fast and his reaction was too sharp, and fighting in such a dark and complicated place would be more beneficial to this iron-masked giant.
With no other choice, he decided to counterattack!
Instead of struggling to support it like this, and finally being defeated and killed by the other party, it is better to make a desperate bet, even if you can't kill this iron-masked giant, at least you have to hurt the other party. Although Ximen Hitomi is not the kind of person who is ready to fight with others at any time, when it comes to life and death, his blood is no less than that of Li Hu, and he is not reluctant to give up this life!
He saw the direction and jumped behind the statue of the Bodhisattva in the temple, and the clay statue of the city god immediately broke from it, and the upper half fell to the ground and shattered. Although this kind of clay sculpture is huge, it seems to be nothing in front of the iron-masked giant, and it is broken into two with one punch, and the iron-masked giant is pressing towards the Ximen pupil!
Ximen Hitomi did not dodge, and went straight up, his right hand had already grabbed the giant man's wrist, and at the same time, with a turn of his left hand, three muskets had appeared in his hand! He did not use the musket before, because he had been tired of parrying and fleeing, and he had no chance to draw the gun, and with the agility of the iron-faced giant's reaction, if he had not fired closely, the musket would not have hit him at all.
Ximen Hitomi took advantage of the moment when the statue blocked the sight of the iron-masked giant and drew his gun, and he had already made up his mind to take a hard blow, and he would also shoot the opponent in the chest!
However, Ximen Hitomi still underestimated the reaction and agility of the iron-masked giant, the muzzle of the three-barreled musket was obviously against the giant man's chest, but the other party disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Ximen Hitomi only felt a pain in his back, and under an irresistible force, he involuntarily fell out, blood spurted out of his mouth, and the musket flew out of his hand!
The iron-masked giant man was facing Ximen Hitomi head-on, and was pointed at the chest with a musket, but suddenly flipped over his head, not only dodging the muzzle of the musket, but also hitting Ximen Hitomi's vest with a punch. The agility of the giant man's series of movements was unbelievably fast, all of which were completed in an instant before Ximen Hitomi had time to pull the trigger, and he even reached out in the air and grabbed the musket that Ximen Hitomi flew out of his hand!
Ximen Tong fell to the wall, his heart was shocked and angry, he saw the iron-masked giant man holding the musket in one hand, the barrel of the steel cast in the giant palm quickly bent and deformed, this most advanced three-barreled musket made in the Western country was immediately crumpled into a ball of scrap metal!
Losing the musket, Ximen Hitomi knew that even the opportunity to fight hard had been lost, and he only felt cold all over, like falling into an ice cellar, and a sense of despair arose!
The iron-masked giant casually threw away the shapeless musket and walked towards Ximen Hitomi, from the smooth mask, he couldn't see his expression at the moment, maybe he didn't have an expression at all.
When a beast that only knows how to kill, it will not have an expression.
At this time, I suddenly heard a "bang", and a big hole appeared in the temple wall. This earthen wall had previously been hit by a hole each by Ximen Hitomi and the Iron Mask Giant, and this hole was the third. With this blow, the entire temple wall was crumbling and almost toppling down, and a black ball was rolling in through the third hole.
This ball is more than half a person high, it is not small, the bones are rolling very fast, it does not look heavy, just because the light in the temple is dim, it is really impossible to see what it is made of, and the direction of the rolling, but it is between the iron-masked giant and Ximen Hitomi.
The iron-masked giant seemed stunned and stopped to avoid being hit by the ball. And at this moment, the spark in the sphere flashed, and suddenly, it burned on its own. At this time, the ball had rolled in front of the iron-masked giant, and he subconsciously slapped it out with one palm and hit the ball hard!
In fact, this round ball was just made of twigs and dead grass, and it was doused with tung oil and ignited into a big fireball, and at this time, it was hit by the fierce palm of the giant man, and it was immediately smashed apart, and the burning branches and blades of grass flew into the air, floating and flying!
Zuo Junhua and the others did not hold lantern torches, the few torches held by the previous "Iron Elephant Gang" had already been extinguished, only a faint light from the sky, this dilapidated temple was very dark, but the moment the ball burst was a firelight, illuminating the four corners brightly.
For masters like the Iron Mask Giant and Ximen Hitomi, they could see their surroundings clearly even in the dark night, but now the sudden light of the fire dazzled their eyes, and they lost Shili for a while. It is also natural for people to lose their sight for a short time due to sudden changes in ambient light.
At this moment, Ximen Hitomi only felt that his palm was being pulled, and a voice said in his ear: "Follow me!"
From the voice, it was clear that the person who came was Mo Yu. She must have seen the mark carved by Ximen Tong on the big locust tree, and followed the direction to find it, and had been hiding in the temple just now, and only showed up to save people at this juncture.
Mo Yuxian had already calculated the direction of escape, she pulled Ximen Hitomi and ran not too fast, just because to get out of this ruined temple, they had to pass by the side of the iron-masked giant, at this time the iron-masked giant man was conspicuous and could not be seen, but the hearing was still there, if the two of them rushed by, they would definitely make the sound of their clothes hanging in the wind, and as long as they made a little noise at such a close distance, they would be noticed by the other party.
Just as the two of them passed by the iron-masked giant man, the giant man suddenly waved his hands together, and a giant palm grabbed Ximen Tong's shoulder, and with a soft "snort", sharp nails cut through his clothes, leaving five blood marks on his right shoulder!
The iron-masked giant was still unable to see at this time, and this kind of attack was just his subconscious swing and grasp. Mo Yu's hand tightened, pulling the Ximen pupil and jumping out, and immediately fled from the gap in the back wall of the collapsed half of the Chenghuang Temple to the outside of the temple, and then jumped straight and swept in the direction of the private house on one side.
At this moment, I only heard the wind hunting behind me, and two figures chased after me, it was Zuo Junhua and Wu Kui!
The two of them did not make a move against Ximen Hitomi before, just because they knew the ability of the iron-masked giant and were sure that Ximen Hitomi would not be able to escape his hands, so they had been standing outside the City God Temple to fight. And when the big fireball exploded, Ximen Hitomi and the iron-masked man who were located near couldn't see for a while, but the two stood in the distance but were not affected, and they immediately knew that someone was helping Ximen Hitomi escape, and immediately chased after them.
It's just that they are a little far away, and the two vertical leaps swept into the broken temple, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Yu had already pulled Ximen Pupil through the hole in the wall behind the temple and escaped twenty zhang away.
Behind the temple is also a barren and grassy open space, and through the open space is the houses in the city. By the time the fleeing duo swept onto the roof of the house, Hitomi's shili had already recovered. Mo Yu let go of Ximen Hitomi's hand and said in a low voice: "Let's go east, be careful not to trample on the roof!"
At this moment, Huaiqing City has been controlled by the "Rich Alliance", and there must be many masters of the other party everywhere in the city. However, this place is not far from the city wall to the east, and it is of course the best choice to go east and escape from the city as soon as possible. But before that, you have to get rid of the pursuers behind you.
The three figures behind them were less than twenty feet away. Zuo Junhua and Wu Kui were originally chasing closer, and the iron-masked giant and other eyesight recovery parties jumped out of the temple, but his speed was the fastest, and he had caught up with Zuo Wu and the others in a few steps. Needless to say, the iron-masked giant, Zuo Junhua and Wu Kui's light skills are not under Ximen Tong and Mo Yu, and it is not easy to get rid of the three of them.
Running on the roof, because the roof tiles on both sides are sloping, it is most convenient to fall on the ridge in the middle of the roof, but Mo Yu told not to step on the ridge, although Ximen Hitomi did not know the reason, but also followed.
Ximen Tong and Mo Yu ran with all their might, and in an instant, they swept past several private houses, and suddenly there was a loud "boom" behind them. Ximen Tong looked back, but saw that something on the roof more than ten zhang away behind him exploded, white smoke billowing out, mixed with the sound of a dark weapon and Wu Kui's sharp voice of angry scolding, he instantly understood that Mo Yu must have set a trap on the roof of the roof earlier, and the three people who caught up stepped on it, and it immediately broke out.
I only heard Mo Yu say: "Those three people are all masters, this organ can't hurt them, at most they can only block a few breaths, let's run away!"
Although the time to count breaths is very short, for light skill masters such as Ximen Tong and Mo Yu, they can at least sweep away a hundred zhang away, and in such a dark night, in a city full of houses, it is enough to escape from a distance of 100 zhang!
But at this moment, Ximen suddenly felt dizzy in his head, his feet were weak, he stumbled, and he almost fell straight down from the roof. Mo Yu's eyes were quick, he grabbed him, and asked urgently, "What's wrong?"
Ximen Tong gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a big deal, it seems to have been poisoned a little." As he spoke, he took a pill from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth.
The iron-masked giant's nails are poisonous!
When escaping from the temple, Ximen Hitomi was scratched by him on the shoulder with a few blood marks, and it was only a few breaths from the injury to now, and the poison had spread through the blood, which paralyzed Ximen Hitomi's body, and his true qi was not continuous, of course, this poison was not a little poison.
The pill swallowed by Ximen Tong was the "poison pill" prepared by Hua Bushi, although it had no antidote effect, it could delay the onset of various poisons. He forced a breath of truth and said, "I don't care, let's go quickly!"
At the moment, the situation is critical, and there is nothing to do but flee for your life.
The two of them performed their own light feats, and after flying a hundred feet, they jumped off the roof and ran along the streets. If they have been running on the roof, Zuo Junhua and the other three can see it as long as they get out of the trap of white smoke, and although running on the ground is not as good as flying on the roof, it is easier to hide their figures, so that the pursuers behind them cannot see it, and there is no way to catch up.
