Chapter 262: Surrounded before and after

Unlike Nanfeng Lonely Shadow and Guo Zidi who were blocking the formation, Yan Hong kept wandering among the men in black, his feet moved very quickly, almost did not stop anywhere, the long sword in his hand turned into a white shadow, and the seemingly inconspicuous left stab and right slash in the crowd, but every time he made a move, a skeleton and a man in black would fall to the ground.

Guo Zidi became more and more excited the more he fought, and he became more and more careless, probably under the influence of the lonely shadow of the south wind beside him, and his shots became much more ruthless.

Looking at the corpses of these skeletons and black-clothed men who fell to the ground, Sima Hongyan could tell at a glance whose hands each corpse was dead in.

Covered in blood, stumps and broken arms, he was killed by Guo Zidi's swift sword, and his martial arts path is more focused on battlefield fighting, without any tricks, just chopping and cutting like chopping vegetables, using the simplest moves to kill the enemy.

The body deformation must be the masterpiece of the South Wind Lonely Shadow, some of the corpses have no blood on their bodies but their chests are sunken, and their hearts are crushed by their twisted bodies at a glance. As long as there is blood on the corpse, there must be other fluids in the body, or some organs have been dragged out of the body. In addition, there is another situation, that is, the enemy did not die, and they did not die because of the mercy of Nanfeng Lone Shadow's men, but because he directly gouged out his eyes or dug out a hole in his stomach.

These who did not die also lost their combat effectiveness, and could only fall there and howl in pain, their cries were also a deterrent weapon for their companions, not to mention that there were more than a hundred besieging enemies, but most of them were frightened by the tragic situation of these people.

The most peaceful corpses that died were all Yan Hong's, he made a move like electricity, but he specialized in the death hole, basically the person who was recruited died instantly, I am afraid that he didn't even feel the pain and lay down.

These three people kill people in different ways, but the deterrent effect is the same. After the defeat of twenty or thirty people, the enemy, who had outnumbered several times, became afraid of battle, and not only did not dare to rush forward, but gradually began to retreat.

These black-clothed men with skull masks are really scary at first glance, but as soon as they really fight, they find that their martial arts are not high, although there are many people, but they can't even resist a move in front of the three people of Nanfeng Lonely Shadow, I'm afraid that no matter how many people go up, they will be sent to death in vain.

Especially now that these guys have a fear psychology again, and they have no combat effectiveness. The skull mask, which was originally quite scary, is now worn on a group of clowns who are eager to turn around and run away, but it looks a little ridiculous.

Relying on these ordinary guys can't stop Sima Hongyan's gang at all, and I think the leader of the other party can also see this. At this time, there was a sharp whistle in the bamboo forest, and the people in black turned their heads and ran away as if they were relieved, and they didn't dare to turn their heads back.

Nanfeng Lonely Shadow still put his hands behind his back and said to the people around him: "Everyone be careful! The next thing is the real enemy! ”

Sima Hongyan said: "We don't want to be here, no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't withstand the wheel war, we are now retreating to the outside of the bamboo forest, to find a favorable place to attack and defend." ”

The fire on the side was much smaller because there was no firewood for half a day, and the sky was already completely dark, and after a while, when the fire was extinguished, everyone would fall into darkness, and then the killers who were surging from all directions would be even more defenseless.

Nanfeng Lonely Shadow discerned the direction for a moment, and pointed in one direction: "Go this way!" When he led the way, Gu Junxi took out a few branches that were still burning from the fire that was about to be extinguished and distributed them to everyone.

Everyone walked very fast, after Gu Junxi broke off. Although the masked men in black were nowhere to be seen, everyone knew that they were following them closely. It seems that these people have already chosen this desolate place where there is no village and no store before they start, so that Sima Hongyan and these people have nowhere to hide.

While running, Sima Hongyan caught up with the lonely shadow of the south wind in front of him, and asked as he walked, "Who are these?" Look at that dress doesn't look like a chasing soldier of the Dongning Imperial Court? ”

Nanfeng Lone Shadow replied, "Have you ever heard of the 'Samsara Assassin'?" These people are. They are killers trained by the Dongning Imperial Court, and no one knows the identities of these people. It seems that some people don't want us to return to Yanling alive! ”

Sima Hongyan sneered and said, "It's expected! It's just that I didn't expect them to endure it for so long before they started. ”

Nanfeng Guying said: "Judging by the situation, they deliberately let us come here, so even if the matter is revealed, it will have nothing to do with the Dongning Imperial Court, and it can be said that it was done by the rogue." This kind of attempt to cover up is not unusual. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "But I think that although they have a lot of people, their martial arts are not strong, what is the use of raising such a group of people?" ”

Nanfeng Lone Shadow said: "These minions are just substitutes for the dead ghosts, just to test our reality and reality, and the ones who will come back after a while will be hard hands, but they are not so easy to deal with!" ”

As they walked, the two of them said that they had run out of the bamboo forest and came to a small road, surrounded by rocks and dirt slopes, and there was no place to hide.

Nanfeng Guying said to Sima Hongyan: "I think that even if we find a place where we can stay, we won't be able to fight with them for a long time, I mean it's better to go directly to Yanning Pass, and strive to drag it out for these two days, once they reach Yanning Pass, they won't dare to chase after them anymore." I just don't know if you girls can persevere? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Life and death are at stake, if you can't hold on, you have to persevere, I don't think anyone wants to leave the corpse in the wilderness outside the fortress!" ”

Seeing that Sima Hongyan was happy, Nanfeng Lone Shadow was arrogant, and he shouted at everyone: "Everyone! Rather than being entangled here, we might as well rush directly to Yanning Pass. It's just that there is no rest from the harassment of the chasing soldiers along the way, I hope you can support each other, and we can get through this hurdle together. ”

Everyone knew that danger was looming at them, and they could only wait for death to stay. Everyone agreed to Nanfeng Lone Shadow's approach.

Gu Junxi also suggested: "Otherwise, I will take the disciples of this sect to stay behind, and you will go first!" With our Xiao Ling Sword Sect's sword formation, it is estimated that it can block them for a few hours. ”

Without waiting for Nanfeng Lonely Shadow to speak, Sima Hongyan refused: "Absolutely not, what if you block it for a few hours?" You can only be eliminated faster when you are separated from everyone, and now is not the time to be a good man, you will be honest with everyone for me. Remember! Every step we take is one step closer to home, and together we have a chance to survive! ”

Seeing that Sima Hongyan didn't let himself take risks, Gu Junxi seemed quite moved, nodded and said nothing more and returned to the team.

Because the fishermen did not ride horses, they did not prepare horses when they went out of the city in disguise, only Sima Hongyan and the others drove a donkey cart. When she came out of the bamboo forest just now, Xiao Hongying was clever and untied the donkey from the car and let Shi Jinyan ride it, which also saved her from keeping up with the team because she had no martial arts.

The rest of the people took the lonely shadow of the south wind first, and rushed along the path towards Yanling. After Yan Hong, Guo Zidi and the others took turns to break off, they didn't know how long it would take for the group of men in black behind them to catch up, and now they can run as far as they can.

Along this path, everyone rushed all the way, and the path began to become wider, and the rocks and dirt slopes on both sides gradually decreased, and after a short walk, there was an open flat land.

Nanfeng Lone Shadow raised the corners of his eyebrows, and said to everyone: "The terrain has become open, everyone go quickly, if we are caught up by the enemy, it will be very unfavorable to us here." ”

As soon as Nanfeng Guying finished speaking, suddenly there was a loud drum sound, and countless flags and torches were suddenly erected behind the dirt slopes and rocks on both sides of the road, followed by the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps, and a team of people and horses rushed out from the left and right sides, rushed over and merged in one place, blocking the path that Sima Hongyan and others must pass.

Sima Hongyan took a few steps forward to look at the soldiers and horses, and saw that there were about 1,000 people on the opposite side, all of them were dressed in black armor and wrapped in blue scarves, which was obviously Dongning's regular vanguard army. Judging from the formation, the cavalry is on both sides, the infantry is in the middle, and the cold light is shining under the reflection of the fire behind the infantry.

In front of the military formation, there were a few horses standing first, and there were a few people sitting at once, and they could not see their faces clearly in the dark, and they could only vaguely see from the clothes of the other party's torches that the leaders were men and women.

There were chasing soldiers in the back, and there was an interception in front, and there were so many soldiers and horses, it was almost impossible for Sima Hongyan and the two dozen people to get out. Such an unfavorable situation made each of them feel a little nervous, and Sima Hongyan said even more hatefully: "Just for a few of us, they are really generous!" ”

At this time, the black-clothed man behind him also caught up, and when he saw Sima Hongyan and the others being trapped by the army and stopped, they also stood not far from Sima Hongyan and the others, looking at Sima Hongyan and the others gloomily.

Ban Lingruo looked at the man in black behind him, and said curiously: "This time it's not a skeleton face, it's a beast!" ”

Sima Hongyan looked back and found that it was indeed as Ban Lingruo said, all the masks on the heads of those black-clothed people had been changed to masks of various animals, tigers, lions, wolves, leopards, and everything, but the momentum of these people was not comparable to the skeletons of those rabble, although there were only more than a dozen people, but the gloomy standing in a row gave people a great sense of oppression.

In addition, Sima Hongyan also noticed that there seemed to be a few vague figures behind the dozen beast-faced black-clothed people, but they were too far away to see clearly.

The soldiers and horses in front do not attack, and the killers in the back do not attack. Sima Hongyan and the others were caught in the middle like this, but they didn't know the other party's intentions, and Sima Hongyan and the others didn't dare to act rashly, and the two sides and three people were in such a quiet stalemate.

Sima Hongyan was planning various ways to get out in his heart, but in this kind of wilderness, if he wanted to fight against thousands of troops, the disparity in strength was too great, and he couldn't think of any good ideas after thinking about it for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
