Chapter 269: Twelve Fierce Beasts
Sima Hongyan bypassed Gu Junxi and said: "If you want to go, you should also go to the west where Yanning Pass is located, the direction in which Lan Aoxin fled is the southeast, we can't panic just to avoid those reincarnation assassins, right?" Besides, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape their pursuit even if we want to. Come on! Since you can't hide, just face it directly! "With that, go the way you came.
Seeing that Sima Hongyan said lightly, with a look of indifference, Gu Junxi was slightly stunned. Nan Xunyan on the side had a smile on his face, and quickly followed behind Sima Hongyan, and the rest of the people followed without hesitation. Gu Junxi shook his head, followed behind, and muttered, "Where does this character look like a girl!" ”
Crossing the hillside, Sima Hongyan immediately stopped, and everyone also stopped one after another, looking at the bloodier scene not far in front of them in amazement. The beast-faced black-clothed men who were originally standing in the distance to monitor Sima Hongyan and the others were actually slaughtering the Dongning soldiers whose feet were cut off at this time.
Armed with scimitars, they slashed the throats of the soldiers one by one, without mercy. Sima Hongyan and the others and these soldiers were enemies and couldn't bear it, but these black-clothed men were obviously from Dongning with these soldiers, but they killed them one by one mercilessly.
There were also a few soldiers who had not been hacked to death who had completely forgotten the pain in their legs at this time, waved their hands again and again and begged for mercy, and some even knelt down in pain. But their bitter pleas were not exchanged for sympathy, only a cold stab in the throat.
When all the soldiers of less than 100 people were killed, the men in black checked back and forth, and added a few more stabs to those who thought they still had breath. After making sure that there was no one alive, they wiped the blood on the knife on the corpse, and then looked at Sima Hongyan coldly. Seeing that Sima Hongyan and these people didn't seem to have the intention of rushing over for a while, these dozen or so black-clothed people walked slowly and methodically to the road that Sima Hongyan and the others had to pass, and lined up and guarded there.
In this clearing, the corpses of hundreds of people are twisted and twisted, and the blood has stained the area red. In the dark night, in the silent wilderness, many people will never return to the place where they will never return, and even their corpses may be left here to rot in the wind and sun, and finally turn into a pile of bones.
Sima Hongyan didn't want his body to stay here, let alone his companions to stay here. She also looked at the men in black with cold eyes, thinking about something in her gaze.
Sima Hongyan, the black-clothed man opposite, counted them, and there were twelve in total. But her owl eyes could see five other people hidden in the darkness in the distance, and she couldn't see what their masks were, but the ghostly aura of dead people was daunting.
It seems that the ability of those five people is probably above these twelve beast-faced black-clothed men!
Sima Hongyan gently asked the lonely shadow of Nanfeng behind him, "Brother Nanfeng, with our combat strength, can we compete with them?" ”
At this time, Nanfeng Guying's face was extremely solemn, and he thought for a moment before saying, "Can't!" They are supposed to be the twelve fierce beasts of the Samsara Killer, and if it were one-on-one, I'm afraid only five of us would be able to compete with them. However, everyone has just gone through a vicious battle, and the physical and internal forces are very expensive, and we can only suffer losses in the head-on conflict. ”
Xiao Hongying hurriedly said on the side: "What do you mean?" We can't fight, we can't escape, can we only let others slaughter? Is there no other way? ”
Nanfeng Guying said: "I have a way, I and the Ninth Prince, Brother Guo, Jun Xi and Xiao Ling's disciples will form a sword formation, although I can't defeat the enemy, but I should be able to protect myself." Miss Sima, you have to take the others to Yanning Pass immediately for help, and let Yanling send troops to rescue, maybe there is still a chance to escape. ”
When Sima Hongyan heard this, he immediately refused: "This is impossible!" It will take nearly two days to get to Yanning Pass from here non-stop, and it will take two days to bring troops over, how can a few of you be able to hold on to these four days? You're kidding! ”
Nanfeng Guying said: "Then what's the point of us all staying here to fight a battle that we can't win?" There's at least some hope to go back and find reinforcements! Miss Sima, I know that you are righteous and angry, but there are so many people who don't know martial arts and some who are injured, and I am afraid that it will be useless to stay. ”
Sima Hongyan said: "That's good! In that case, then please take my sisters back to move the rescuers, and I will deal with these killers with you! ”
Without waiting for Nanfeng Guying to speak, Ban Lingruo was the first to object, she said: "Sister, I am better than your martial arts, I will stay to help the leader of the Nanfeng Alliance, and you go back to find reinforcements." ”
Xiao Hongying also said: "My martial arts are also better than Sister Hongyan, I can also stay, and I will also be the sword formation of our Xiao Ling Sword Sect, I can help!" ”
Sima Hongyan said anxiously: "What are you doing with it?" Everyone is here for me, how can I leave others and leave on my own? You all listen to me, hurry up to Yanning Pass, whether you can save us back depends on whether you are fast or not! ”
Ban Lingruo shook his head and said: "Listen to you for other things, not this time, if you don't leave, I will definitely not leave, this matter is not discussed!" ”
Xiao Hongying even joined in the fun and said: "You want to away just after the bow, but there is no door!" ”
Sima Hongyan said "hey", and the phoenix eyes glared, a little really angry.
Xiao Hongying said to Shi Jinyan: "Sister Shi, if you go back, we will stay to stop them, you are the daughter of Shangshu, and the city defenders will definitely listen to you!" ”
Shi Jinyan's face was cold and expressionless, and after listening to Xiao Hongying's words, she said lightly: "Why let me go if you don't leave?" ”
Nan Xunyan listened beside him, and felt that Sima Hongyan's sworn sisters were more individual than the other, no matter what others said, no one was willing to leave.
Not to mention Wu Zhao's people, their loyalty to Sima Hongyan would never let them abandon their young master and leave.
No one can convince anyone, and it becomes a stalemate for a while!
In the end, Sima Hongyan said helplessly: "Otherwise, let's do it!" The wounded go back, the others stay. Anyway, I can't fight with injuries, so it's better to go back and find helpers, so that no one will object, right? ”
When everyone heard this, this was an irrefutable solution.
When the Dongning soldiers withdrew, a few horses were pulled back by Wu Zhao's guards, and these horses saw that they had their own kind around and tamed a lot, and it was estimated that it was not a big problem to ride them to Yanning Pass.
Everyone checked each other, and there were three of Xiao Ling's disciples with colors on their bodies, one of them was more serious, and the bandaged wound was still oozing blood. Four of the Sima Mansion guards were injured, two of them were bruised, while the other two were not seriously injured but affected their movements.
Sima Hongyan did not distinguish between minor injuries and serious injuries, and asked that as long as they were injured, they would leave.
Then Sima Hongyan walked up to Shi Jinyan and said to her: "Jinyan, the person who goes back must have a person who speaks with weight, only you are the most suitable here, you can take them back to Yanning Pass!" ”
Shi Jinyan's face was even colder, and she was about to speak as soon as her thin eyebrows were raised. Sima Hongyan knew that she wanted to refuse, so she hurriedly stopped her before she could speak: "I know your intentions, but now is not the time for us to argue, you must listen to me this time, only when you go back can I believe that there will be rescuers to come, do you understand?" ”
Shi Jinyan's lips moved, she wanted to say something but didn't say anything, Sima Hongyan said again: "Shi Tingying and Wen Yao, you bring them back together, there are enough horses here, I hope you can go and come back quickly, my life can be entrusted to you!" ”
Shi Jinyan had a cold face and said in a low voice: "Do you know that you may not be able to wait for the rescuers, and you will all die here?" ”
How could Sima Hongyan not think of it, and she knew that she couldn't hide it from Shi Jinyan, but she smiled and said: "You are underestimating us too much, if everyone cooperates properly, it shouldn't be a big problem to use the terrain to drag on for a few days." ”
Shi Jinyan stared at Sima Hongyan's eyes, her eyes became more and more fierce, and her face sank as if she wanted to eat people. Sima Hongyan had never seen Shi Jinyan's appearance, and said with some shock: "Letting you go back to move the rescue soldiers is not for you to run away regardless of righteousness, there is a big difference between these two things, don't get me wrong!" ”
Sima Hongyan was about to say more, but suddenly saw a tear fall from Shi Jinyan's eyes, and fell to the ground with a "click" and shattered, and a shallow tear trail hung on her already slightly pale cheek.
What she wanted to say was choked back by this tear, Sima Hongyan looked at Shi Jinyan with a still indifferent face in shock, in her memory, this was the first time she had cried since she had known Shi Jinyan for so long.
Shi Jinyan is a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and many people will be deceived by her arrogant and indifferent appearance. She's beautiful, but she's not close! Almost no one knows what Shi Jinyan is thinking, no one knows what kind of person she is, and no one knows what she wants.
Except for Sima Hongyan!
When she didn't know Sima Hongyan, Shi Jinyan was like an isolated fairy, knowledgeable, otherworldly, and looked up to by others, as if she didn't eat the fireworks of the world at all.
It wasn't until she met Sima Hongyan one day that she began to fall into auspicious clouds, drifted into the world, and became a mortal with flesh and blood, affection and righteousness. Only by treating her sisters did she have emotions. I'm afraid I haven't felt this way with my family.
Seeing Shi Jinyan crying, Sima Hongyan suddenly had the urge to cry, she endured it, she didn't dare to let the tears flow out, and she couldn't even let the tears appear in her eyes.
She couldn't express the fear that she knew she might not be able to return to Yanling alive!
In fact, Sima Hongyan had already found a sense of helplessness in the eyes of Nanfeng Lonely Shadow, Sima Hongyan knew that Nanfeng Lonely Shadow had no choice, it seemed that these people couldn't deal with those twelve top killers at all, let alone four days, maybe they couldn't hold out even one day.
