Chapter 55: The Bloody Debt (5)
Once Wang Man launched a ruthless attack, Jinyiwei immediately couldn't support it, there were only about thirty of them in total, but nearly twenty of them became ghosts under Wang Man's knife with a stick of incense, and the other five or six died under Xu Rui's dagger.
The remaining seven or eight people were already frightened, and when another brocade guard was cut off by Wang Man's head, the remaining few people finally collapsed and began to flee in all directions.
Han Baixing slashed a deserter with his backhand, but the others seemed to ignore it and ran towards the woods regardless of it.
Seeing that the breakthrough was in front of him, Wang Man sneered, shook a knife flower, took a step forward, and the whole person suddenly hit the ground and killed him, intending to kill this last trouble in one go.
Han Baixing hurriedly crossed the knife to block, only to hear the sound of "dang", and the snow-moon-like sword light cut off the waist knife without any suspense, and went straight to his heart.
In fact, Han Baixing's martial arts are not weak, but his luck is too bad, and when he faces a first-class master like a martial saint disciple, he seems to have no power to fight back, so he can only open his eyes and wait for death.
But just as Han Baixing was about to die, Wang Man suddenly frowned, and the moonlight-like blade made a big bend in midair, shattering a crossbow arrow that struck his lower back.
More than ten meters away, Xu Rui put away his crossbow and drilled into the woods again.
Han Baixing took advantage of this gap and hurriedly drilled under Wang Man's knife, and ran away.
Farther away on the trunk of the tree, Li Kuang saw all this in his eyes, and a look of contemplation appeared on his face.
"Huh?"
He suddenly noticed some movement under the tree, and when he looked down, he realized that it was a brocade guard who had escaped just now, running here, holding on to the trunk of the tree and panting.
The man was pale and trembling, evidently terrified.
Finally panting, he hurriedly flipped back, his body shook again, and was about to continue fleeing out of the woods, but at this moment, a sharp sword as thin as a cicada's wing suddenly flashed from between his neck.
His face froze, his head rolled down like ripe fruit, and the headless corpse spurted out a stream of bloody arrows and fell limply.
A beautiful, slender girl in black walked lightly past the corpse, and her figure quickly disappeared into the dead branches and grass.
Li Kuang, who was in the canopy, frowned, and said to himself: "What a clever assassin, it seems that the few brocade guards who just escaped will not survive......"
In the battle group, Xu Rui relied on the modified hand crossbow to constantly change his position and shoot at Wang Man, Han Baixing used the space that Xu Rui barely fought for him to escape all the way, and Wang Man pursued Han Baixing while guarding against Xu Rui's sneak attack.
The three of them seemed to be scurrying around like headless flies, but in fact, Xu Rui controlled the angle of Wang Man's flaws by constantly adjusting the shooting position, so as to achieve the purpose of mobilizing the relative position of the three people.
After several rounds of pursuit, Xu Rui unconsciously went around from the south to the north of the battle group, while Wang Man and Han Baixing went around from the north to the south of the war group, and the two sides just exchanged directions.
Xu Rui had been silently counting the numbers in his heart, and when he shot an arrow, and then quickly left the battlefield while winding it, the number in his heart just counted to a hundred.
"It's time, and the location is just right!"
Xu Rui muttered to himself, suddenly jumped backwards and threw himself on the ground.
Li Kuang in the canopy and Wang Man in pursuit both noticed his strange movements and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but a flame suddenly appeared under the old tree two feet away behind Wang Man.
The flames began as small as a fingernail, but in the blink of an eye, they grew to the height of a person, and thick black smoke burst out like bursting rice flowers.
"Boom !!"
A thunderous sound swept through the sky, the earth shook violently, the shock wave instantly hit the woods like waves, the birds and birds suddenly scattered in terror, Li Kuang was almost shaken off the tree, but fortunately he barely stabilized his body by holding on to the branch in time.
But even so, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock.
"How...... What's going on? ”
A puff of black smoke rose from the battle group, jumping flames everywhere, small trees were blown into several sections, a large pit appeared on the ground, mud blocks that were shaken to the sky fell like hailstones, and countless iron nails and bamboo pieces scattered flowers, shooting out in all directions, beating the surrounding old trees into thousands of holes.
"This ...... Could it be the legendary fairy thunder?! ”
Li Kuang had never seen such a terrifying picture, his lips trembled slightly, and it took a long time before he muttered to himself.
"Bah, Bah, Bah......"
Xu Rui got up from the ground, shook off the dust and snow on his body, spit out the sand in his mouth, and then fanned off the unpleasant smell of gunpowder, and then began to check the results of the battle.
In order to match the time of the grenade explosion to drive Wang Man and Han Baixing to the predetermined position, he not only calculated the possible direction of the two of them in advance, but also took into account the influence of the environment on the burning time of the residual incense.
Except for the explosion being a little farther away, to be honest, even he didn't expect it to work so perfectly.
However, his joy only stayed on his face for half a moment before it gradually froze.
Only three or four zhang away from the explosion crater, there was a boulder more than two zhang long and more than one zhang high, and before the smoke and dust had dissipated, Xu Rui saw Han Baixing crawl out from behind the boulder.
When the grenade exploded, he jumped behind the boulder in order to avoid Wang Man's pursuit, and although he was shocked by the shock wave of the explosion, there was no scar on his body.
It's just that Han Baixing, who has taken shit luck, has just climbed out, and a few zhang away, Wang Man actually walked out from behind a big tree that was blown up with great difficulty.
At this time, most of the blood blisters on his face were shattered, his handsome face was already unrecognizable, like a demon, the cotton clothes on his back were beaten into a sieve, and the red blood stained the clothes, and there was a terrifying wound the size of a fist under his left ribs, gurgling black blood, and the long knife in his hand was also broken into two, and the remaining half was hit by the fragments shot by the grenade.
The explosion was the closest to him, and the moment he saw the fire, Wang Man immediately noticed that something was wrong, and hid behind the old tree beside him, although he was a step late and was seriously injured, but he finally saved his life.
"This must be the most watery grenade I've ever seen!"
Seeing that the hard-working killing move failed to harvest a single life, Xu Rui suddenly jumped to his feet in anger.
Wang Man's face stiffened by the shock wave of the explosion, and his scarlet eyes were full of confusion, but when he looked up and suddenly saw Xu Rui who was gritting his teeth, his body immediately trembled, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then turned into a thick resentment.
He threw away the broken knife in his hand, covered the wound with one hand, and held the half of the old tree behind him with the other, and moved into the woods little by little, his palm should have lost sensation, and he didn't react when he pressed it on the old stump that was burning with fire.
Oh no, he's going to run!
As soon as he saw Wang Man drilling into the woods, Xu Rui immediately guessed his plan.
Wang Man was the main culprit in the murder of Yang Weiyuan, and if he could not be killed, then this revenge would be meaningless.
Xu Rui hurriedly took out his crossbow, but found that the bowstring of the crossbow had been broken into two, and he hated it in his heart, and threw the crossbow to the ground.
Don't let him run!
He gritted his teeth and threw out a small bell with a wave of his hand.
"Jingle Bell...... Jingle ......"
The crisp bell rang through the four fields, and Wang Man's eardrums had been shattered by the shock wave of the explosion, so naturally he couldn't hear the bell, let alone the sound of the pile of fallen leaves behind him suddenly scattering.
Among the fallen leaves and withered grass, a beautiful figure came out like a civet cat, and a long sword as thin as a cicada's wings in his hand pointed directly at the back of Wang Man's neck, like an entrenched poisonous snake suddenly opening its mouth to bite people, silently, as fast as lightning.
"It's done!"
Seeing that Wang Man did not dodge or dodge, Xu Rui's eyes overflowed with a touch of ecstasy.
However, just as the tip of the sword was about to reach, Wang Man, like a dying beast, suddenly smelled the danger, and his body reflexively tilted three inches to the left, and it was this short three inches that allowed him to dodge the fatal blow.
The long sword that should have severed the carotid artery stabbed in the shoulder, piercing the cotton coat, skin and muscles, and piercing under the collarbone without hurting the vital point.
Before the sword was fully completed, Ying Yu's face changed, and he immediately put away the sword, but the thin sword seemed to be firmly held by iron tongs, and he couldn't pull it out.
"Not good!"
Her pupils shrank, and she immediately let go of the hilt of her sword, and her body quickly flashed backwards.
But after all, he was still a step slower, and Wang Man, who only had half a life left, still had the strength to spare, he sneered, his scarlet eyes stared at Ying Yu coldly, and his right hand turned his palm into a knife without hesitation.
Shadow raised her eyebrows, and quickly crossed her hands and folded them in front of her chest, desperately resisting the palm knife.
The palms and arms struck, and suddenly there was a sound of bone cracking, and the shadow snorted, and his face turned pale instantly.
Her arms were folded at strange angles, and the arm bones of both forearms were completely broken.
"Shadow!"
Xu Rui exclaimed, anxious.
A hint of cruelty flashed across Wang Man's bloody face, and he withdrew his right hand, and at the same time his left hand clawed at Shadow Yu's throat, and if this claw was solid, it would immediately crush her neck bone.
Shadow Guy gritted his teeth, his left foot was on the ground a little, his body flew up like a light bird, and at the same time his right foot kicked Wang Man in the ribs, if Wang Man didn't stop to save him, he would be seriously injured by Shadow Guy's kick.
Wang Man snorted coldly, ignoring the kick, just grabbing her throat fiercely, and he had already made up his mind to kill Ying Yu.
Ying Yu felt a chill in her heart, and immediately understood that she was going to die, she was a dead soldier in the end, and in an instant, she had put life and death aside, and she was desperate to hit Wang Man again for the young master.
"Wang Man!"
At the critical moment, a loud roar rang out in the woods.
Wang Man subconsciously turned his head, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Xu Rui held a lit bamboo tube, staring at the round eyes and rushing towards him desperately, although he didn't know what the bamboo tube was, he immediately remembered the explosion just now, and his heart was horrified.
Desperate fighting, a slight difference can be divided between life and death, Wang was full of fear in his heart, and the speed of his hand slowed down a beat, and the shadow of his right leg came first, and he fell one step ahead of him.
With a muffled sound, Wang Man's left rib was broken, and his left paw sank downward, failing to catch Ying Yu's throat, but slapping her on the chest, and the two flew out upside down almost at the same time.
"Die!"
Xu Rui struggled to keep the last grenade still towards Wang Man, and then rushed quickly towards the shadow who fell to the ground, and pounced on her.
Ying Yu's arms were broken, and he was seriously injured by Wang Man's last palm, and now he was pressed by Xu Rui again, and suddenly snorted, his forehead was full of cold sweat.
"Young master, slave and maid are incompetent......"
"Shut up!"
Ying Yu was about to explain, but Xu Rui shouted angrily and suppressed her.
Wang Man crashed into the boulder where Han Baixing was hiding before and fell, and as soon as he stood up, he saw Xu Rui throwing the grenade over, his eyes were cold, his right hand turned into a knife, and he slashed at the grenade.
"Boom !!"
The moment the knife made contact with the grenade, the lead burned out, and a ball of fire rose with thick smoke, and the broken bamboo and iron nails instantly smashed the boulder into a hornet's nest.
The earth and snow that had been shaken up by the explosion fell like hail, Xu Rui's ears were buzzing, his whole body seemed to fall apart, the scorching shock wave scorched his hair, and his back was smashed by the falling rubble.
Fortunately, he lay down in time and did not get a few holes pierced by the fragments, which is already a blessing in misfortune.
"Are you alright?"
After the explosion, Xu Rui propped up his body and checked Ying Yu's injuries for the first time.
The dead were originally used to resist their lives, and no one would care about their life or death, and Shadow Yu didn't seem to expect that his master would care about him at this time, his cheeks flushed, and he shook his head.
Seeing that her life was not in danger for the time being, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief, stood up with the pain all over his body, and slowly walked to the center of the explosion.
Although only one of them was a native grenade, the power of the explosion was still terrifying, no matter how strong Wang Man's martial arts were, as long as he was not a real alloy armored warrior, it was impossible to resist it.
The smoke and dust gradually dispersed, and Wang Man lay quietly in a scattered flame, his right hand and legs were gone, his body was beaten by fragments and his flesh was blurred, and his mouth slowly spat blood foam, like a dying fish.
I don't know if it's providence, the dense fragments didn't hit the head directly, although he was already mortal, but he didn't lose his breath for the time being.
Xu Rui walked to his side, Wang Man's left eye turned into a bloody hole, and his bare right eyeball turned slightly, as if he was looking at Xu Rui.
Although he knew that it was impossible for him to hear any sound, Xu Rui still bent down, approached Wang Man and whispered: "When you were poisoned, you should have known that there would be today, and from that time on, I told myself that I would make all enemies regret being my enemy!" ”
With that, he pulled out his dagger, held down the relatively intact head, and cut it off his neck.
"Father-in-law, the child has avenged you!"
Xu Rui finally stopped suppressing his feelings, Xu cried loudly, he raised his head above his head, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed three times in the direction of Lingdong City.
At this moment, a footstep suddenly sounded behind him.
"Xu Zuoling, your filial piety touches the heavens and the earth, but after all, you are a person of dark chess, but I, Han Baixing, can't tolerate you!"
Just when Xu Rui thought that the revenge had been avenged, Han Baixing slowly walked out from behind the old tree a few zhang away, holding a waist knife in his hand, and said coldly.
Xu Rui's heart sank, and Wang Man was so excited that he forgot that there was a fish that had slipped through the net and was almost uninjured.
Now that Ying Yu is seriously injured, he has also exhausted his hole cards, and he has no power to fight back, he has no way to take Han Baixing, and the identities of the hunter and the prey are instantly exchanged.
