Xu An led the black horse in a forest, carefully tracing the footprints ahead, and he and Chang even began to act at the same time.

It was almost winter, the whole forest was already bare, and even there were very few fallen leaves on the ground, it should be because some of the surrounding residents picked it up as firewood, Xu An could easily find the footprints of those people leaving.

Xu An is actually not good at tracking, and they can easily find these footprints only because they were deliberately left, trying to lure Xu An to take the bait.

Xu An is not very cautious, after a day and a night, his spiritual power has been fully recovered, and he can easily sense whether there are any enemies lurking around, as long as there is no existence above the psychic period, then those people have nothing to hide around Xu An.

And the strong people above the psychic period are not so easy to mobilize, even the strong people who can reach the psychic period in the entire Beichang Empire are very limited, Xu An knows about one hand can be counted, if these people act, then they will definitely leave evidence, so Xu An is not worried that there will be such a strong enemy.

Xu An took another step forward, and suddenly felt that something was not right, but he didn't have time to take that step, and a circle of rope instantly contracted and dragged Xu An forward, and at the same time, several feather arrows flew in front of him.

Xu An quickly pulled out the floating water dragon yuan and cut the rope, held the sword in his right hand, released the reins with his left hand, reached forward and grabbed the two feather arrows and threw them in front of him, and the density of the arrow rain was significantly weakened.

Xu An pulled the reins of the horse again, and walked forward step by step with the floating water dragon yuan in his right hand, although the arrow rain weakened, it still did not stop, and the feather arrows that terrified the cavalry on the battlefield were like children's toys in front of Xu An, a strong man in the late psychic stage.

Xu An can accurately capture the direction of those feather arrows, the wrist flew only to see the sword shadow in his hand, the sword shadow crossed the big tree next to him and left a shallow cut mark, crossed the fallen leaves floating in the air to divide it into two, and then divided into four, in a very short period of time, the complete fallen leaves did not know how many parts were divided, has completely become a pile of debris, occasionally blowing a cold wind, debris flying with the wind, flying feather arrows should break and land, very suitable for firewood, if there are residents passing by afterwards should be very happy.

The dark horse is a battle-hardened war horse, and he is not afraid at all when he sees this picture, and occasionally shakes his head as if he is disdainful of this level of attack, and lets Xu An lead him forward.

Xu An's speed was not fast, but the range of the bow and arrow was limited, and after a while, the feather arrows that came from behind him stopped, and several figures in front of him ran out from behind the tree, and they ran out not to fight Xu An at close range, but to run or run, to escape.

Xu An carefully looked at the few figures who escaped, and pulled out four relatively complete feather arrows from the big tree next to him, no more, no less, one for each person, Xu An nodded with a little satisfaction, inserted the floating water dragon yuan into the scabbard on the back of the black horse, and threw the feather arrows in his hand forward one by one.

The feather arrow was shot from the bow and arrow in the hands of those people, and then Xu An pulled it out of the tree and returned it to them, hitting it accurately, and there was only one person left who ran forward with his right chest in his hands.

Xu An rode on a black horse to catch up with the figure, dragged him to the back of the horse without stopping, and did not say anything.

Xu An didn't need to ask anything, he knew that those people were waiting for him in front, and they were just to be hostages, and you have this thing, and I have it, although it is not necessarily useful.

Xu An knew that these people were all dead soldiers, and not masking them was the best proof, either they would die or they would die. Generally speaking, the purpose of masking is not to leave evidence, but if one party has to die, there is no need to mask again.

It was easy to find a cave by following the footprints, and Xu An threw the man on horseback down.

"Jiang Li, I'm here to save you. Xu An shouted loudly into the cave.

After a while, the two pushed Ah Li out of the cave.

Ah Li has not changed from yesterday, his hands are tied behind his back, and his mouth is stuffed with a black cloth.

"Lay down your arms and surrender, or I'll kill her!" said one of them, pulling out a dagger and placing it across Ah Li's neck.

Xu An naturally could not surrender, although he did not have a sword in his hand.

In Xu An's opinion, this sentence is nonsense, he doesn't think that if he surrenders, they will let Ah Li go, even so, it is not Xu An's style to exchange a life for a life.

Xu An shook his head slightly, pulled out the floating water dragon abyss from the horse, pointed at the seriously injured man under his feet and said, "If you dare to move, I will kill him too!"

The two people behind Ah Li were stunned for a moment, and then repeated: "We didn't joke with you. ”

"I thought you were joking, if I lay down my arms and surrender, will you be able to let her go?" asked Xu An.

"That's nature. ”

"Good. Xu An threw the floating water dragon abyss on the ground, and then raised his hands and said.

The two of them were a little nervous when they saw this picture, although Xu An had already surrendered, they both knew what kind of cultivation this young man was, and it was a difficult question who would tie him up in the past.

"Come on, I'm surrendering. Xu An raised his hands and said.

The man with the dagger slowly walked in front of Xu An, brandishing the dagger and telling Xu An not to move.

Xu An was speechless, snatched the dagger and put the man to the ground.

"Don't move!" said the only one left behind Ah Li, who also drew a dagger and pointed at Ah Li.

"In the late stage of the knot, yes, no wonder Jiang Li is not an opponent. Xu An nodded and said.

"If you don't want her to die, give up resistance!"

"You and I have been cultivating hard for many years, do you think I will be threatened by this? In other words, what would you do if I threatened you with the lives of these two people underground to give up your resistance? You are different from the two of them, and you should not want to die. Xu An looked at the middle-aged man and said.

"I don't want to die, but it's not impossible to break the net if I'm forced to die!"

"Don't say this kind of thing, they shouldn't tell you who I am, I am the king of Hui'an of the Beichang Empire, don't worry about the net if you are against me, you will never die well." Xu An said.

It is not easy for a spirit master to cultivate, and he can already be called a strong person if he can reach the late stage of the spirit formation, and he is only one step away from being able to channel, and this achievement is enough to glorify the ancestors. The strong people who have reached this stage value not money, but life, which is more important to them than anything else.

The middle-aged man was able to participate in this matter because Lin Ying repeatedly assured him that there would never be any danger.

"You don't joke, let her go, I won't embarrass you, if something happens to her, your fate will be a hundred times worse than his. Xu An pointed to the man who was hit by the arrow in front of him and said.

"You let me go first, if I'm fine, I won't hurt her. The middle-aged man said.

Of course he wouldn't believe that he had done this kind of thing Xu An could still let himself go, so he proposed to let him go first, but Xu An wouldn't believe that he would let Ah Li go, the two of you don't believe me, I don't believe you, the situation is deadlocked, but you can't move your mouth, but you can't stop.

"Are you bargaining with this king?" Xu An said angrily as he picked up the floating water again.

"Get off!" said the middle-aged man who stabbed Ah Li in the right shoulder with a dagger.

After receiving this knife, Ah Li's right shoulder suddenly flowed with blood, and the blood slowly dripped down her arm to the ground, but her face did not show any expression, as if the knife was not pierced on her body.

Xu An frowned slightly, but he knew that he couldn't show weakness, and said with a smile: "You don't dare to kill her." ”

"Nothing is impossible, if I don't live she'll have to die!"

Xu An didn't speak again, looking at the person who was hit by the arrow, he grabbed the tail of the arrow with one hand and wanted to pull it out, followed by a cry of pain, but because of the existence of the arrow, Xu An did not pull out the arrow so easily.

Xu An scolded and stabbed the feather arrow into the man's body for a few more points, and finally pulled out the feather arrow from behind, and the man on the ground was already sweating profusely in pain.

Xu An looked at the blood-stained feather arrow in his hand, put it on the ground in front of the other person, and said, "You give this to Commander Lin." ”

The man hurriedly took the feather arrows in both hands and ran north.

"Look, I can let him go, you are a strong man in the late stage of the spirit formation, and it is far more important for me in Beichang than him, how can I not let you go?" Xu An said as he carefully wiped the blood stains on his hands on his clothes.

"Why don't you let me go?" the middle-aged man asked excitedly.

Xu An raised the wiped hand and looked at it to the sun, and found that the blood stains on his hand had been wiped clean, and then nodded with some satisfaction and said: "Because you are more afraid of death than him, it was him who came to kill me when I put down my weapon just now, not you." It's also because you're afraid of death, so you won't kill Jiang Li easily. ”

"You should know that I'm just here to save people, and there's no reason to kill you, but you should also know that if she dies, even Lin Ying and General Lin won't be able to save you. Xu An continued.

"I don't believe you. ”

"You should believe me, you and I both know that it is not easy for a country to produce a strong man in the late stage of the knot, I am the king of Hui'an of the Beichang Empire, for the sake of the country, I will not be able to kill you. The State of Chu and the State of Qi are about to fight, and if Lin Ying and General Lin want to protect you, even if you are the lord of the country, you must respect their opinions. ”

"I also ask you to believe me, I have no reason to kill her, as long as I can live, I will naturally let her go, if I die, it will be a big deal to die with her!" said the middle-aged man.

"You may have heard my name, I admit, you may be able to kill her, but you killed yourself before you had time to kill her in front of me, what would happen to you if she died?" Xu An asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man frowned, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble, he originally grabbed Ah Li with one hand, and held a knife across Ah Li's neck with the other hand, but now he had to change to holding a knife with both hands due to fear.

"Do you want to know why I didn't kill him just now, but brought him over and put him in front of you?" Xu An asked again, pointing to the man in front of him who was hit by the arrow.

The man still didn't reply, but the sweat on his forehead had come out a lot, it could be seen that he was very nervous now, he knew that if he killed the hostages, he would definitely not die well, and he also knew that he didn't have time to kill himself in front of Xu An, he just wanted to live now, so he was waiting, he was waiting for Lin Ying to send someone to save him.

"Close your eyes. Xu An said.

Ah Li knew that Xu An was saying this to herself, but she didn't listen to Xu An's words, but looked at Xu An with some disdain.

Xu An touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then walked in front of the person on the ground with the floating water dragon yuan, and stabbed it directly, the floating water dragon yuan easily cut through the skin, cut off the sternum, and stabbed into the flesh and blood, with a miserable scream, Xu An pulled out the floating water dragon yuan.

Xu An never looked at the man on the ground, he kept watching the middle-aged man's reaction, until he pulled out the sword and said, "This sword, grazing the liver, he can't die." ”

After speaking, there was no pause, and another sword stabbed downward.

Even Ah Li didn't expect Xu An to be so ruthless, but Xu An had no choice, he had to make that person afraid, otherwise maybe he would really fight to the death.

The middle-aged man didn't deliberately look at the bloody pictures that happened on the ground, not watching it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what's going on, he knows that Xu An is not lying, and he also knows that Xu An is scaring himself by doing these things, but he knows that Xu An can really do this kind of thing to himself, his current situation is even much more dangerous than the Ah Li he hijacked, but he is helpless, he can't let Ah Li go, because Lin Ying hasn't sent someone yet, even if he lets go of Ah Li, he doesn't think he can live: "Enough, I won't kill her." ”

Xu An nodded, he knew that there was no longer a threat to this situation, the middle-aged man was afraid of death, and he was even more afraid of dying well, so he raised his sword to kill the person in front of him and ended his pain in advance.

"I know what you're waiting for, it's okay, let's wait together, Lin Ying is the only son of General Lin, if he wants to save you, even I can't do it again, now Beichang is facing internal and external troubles, and he has to rely on the general to lead the troops to fight, kill you and offend Lin Ying and General Lin, what good do I have?" Xu An put away the floating water Longyuan and said bitterly.
