Chapter 160 Yanmen Pass (I)
When the moon is in the sky, the sea of stars is bright, and the mountains and mountains with lush vegetation are covered with a veil of tranquility, which is particularly mysterious.
The night breeze swayed the branches, the shady green trees undulated, and the pine waves of the forest and sea had a bit of poetry.
Only occasionally from an unknown place, the sound of wild beasts howling proves that there are countless dangers hidden in the 100,000 mountains on this side.
When a majestic wolf king led the moon on the boulder on the top of the mountain, the quiet night was broken by the rapid sound of breaking the sky.
Figures appeared among the mountains, running and jumping quickly, and the sound of the wind brought up by their clothes was like a sharp arrow.
Their speed is so fast, the tiger cheetah is not enough to catch up with them, their body is so vigorous, over the mountains and mountains as if walking on the ground. All of this is enough to show that they are practitioners.
And all of them are the Imperial Qi Realm.
The direction they are facing is north.
Not far behind them, in the tunnel at the corner of the mountain road, a little fire suddenly rushed out, followed by the second and third points, and in the blink of an eye, a fiery snake rushed out.
The fire snake bit the dozen people in front of him.
However, looking at distance and speed, this intention is not easy to achieve.
The fire snake is naturally not a real fire snake, but a sharp man holding a torch. The clothes of these people were markedly different from those in front of them. They are all wearing armor, and they are also the standard chain mail of the garrison of Yanmen Pass in Daqi!
The leader was a young strong man, under the dim light of the torches, his resolute face was already drenched in sweat, but his eagle-like eyes kept staring at the pursuing target in front of him, and his expression became more and more anxious.
Seeing that the distance between the two sides was getting farther and farther away, the commander made Zhao Qiyang turn his heart sideways and shouted murderously:
"More than ten miles away is the Great Wall, here is not close to Yanmen Pass, there are no masters on the Great Wall there, only those soldiers in the beacon are impossible to stop them.
"We must not let them cross the Great Wall alive! Once they are allowed to enter the grassland and gallop on horseback, it will be difficult to chase! Those below the early stage of the Imperial Qi Realm will be left behind, waiting for follow-up support, and the rest will speed up with me!"
As soon as this order came out, more than 30 people behind him were staring at him.
Their team of men and horses is the garrison of Yanmen Pass, and they rarely go out of the camp on weekdays.
But now, the border has reached an extraordinary time. From time to time, there are practitioners from the north of the Saibei who go south from the grassland, climb over the Great Wall, cross the lofty mountains, and appear near Yanmen Pass and around Daizhou City, with unknown intentions.
Fortunately, the garrison of Yanmen Pass noticed it in time, and many men and horses were dispatched to patrol various places.
Zhao Qiyang led more than 500 people under his command, divided into several teams, and patrolled the area he was responsible for day and night.
Tonight was the first time they had discovered the Beihu cultivators, and the other party was still heading north from the direction of Daizhou City, so they immediately chased after them without hesitation, vowing to catch the other party and find out the purpose of their entry into the border land.
However, the other party was all Qi Realm cultivators, and Zhao Qiyang had to break away from the team and only pursue with the elite.
Along the way, he had already ordered the Body Forging Realm cultivator to stay, and the other party's speed was not so fast at that time. Unexpectedly, when approaching the Great Wall, the other party would be able to speed up again, and now he had to let the early stage of the Imperial Qi Realm stay.
Although he himself is in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, he is the only one in the team in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, and the sum of the middle stage of the Imperial Qi Realm is less than the number of pairs of hands.
There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and even if they catch up, they are not completely sure to kill them.
But after Zhao Qiyang's order was issued, no one objected. The cultivators in the early stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, no matter how unwilling they were, could only grit their teeth to stop their bodies, and the elites in the middle stage of the Imperial Qi Realm were not the slightest bit afraid.
The armor soldier who stood in place and the sharp soldier who accelerated out were instantly separated. The latter appears to be an arrow fired by the former.
After the speed was raised, the distance between the two sides gradually pulled in as the respective cultivators climbed over one obstacle after another, crossed one ravine after another, ran from the hillside to the top of the mountain, and flew over the valley.
The barren mountains were still quiet, only the sound of footsteps breaking through the air could be heard clearly, and Zhao Qiyang and the others even heard their heartbeats. Along the way, frightened birds and finches soared, and in the distance, wild beasts occasionally screamed twice.
Turning over a beam, because the position under his feet was relatively high, with the help of the hazy moonlight, relying on the cultivator's unusual eyesight, Zhao Ning suddenly saw the outline of the Great Wall on the mountain line at the end of his vision!
At most, there are four miles!
Time is running out for them.
Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly became sharp,
The cultivator at the back of the other party was no more than two hundred steps away from him.
He was sure that within two miles, he could catch up with the other party.
If you can entangle the opponent, even if you can't defeat it, you may wait for the help of the master.
In any case, you can't let the other party run!
Zhao Qi's hand had already pressed the handle of the knife.
The other party ran up a mountain bag.
But at this moment, he heard a murderous voice: "Kill!"
At the same time, the Beihu cultivators who had just arrived at the location of the mountain bag suddenly stopped their bodies and turned around suddenly!
In an instant, the scimitars in their hands let out a piercing hum, and in the shining rune array light, the dazzling sword light reflected their fierce faces.
The sword slashed through sharp arcs in the night sky, and with their tiger-like figures, they slashed down at them with an incomparably sharp attack!
Condescending, overwhelming.
Zhao Qiyang's heart jumped suddenly.
He didn't expect that the other party would suddenly kill a horse gun, and at this moment they were already in a disadvantageous situation!
But in the face of the crescent-shaped knives above his head, he did not hesitate at all, pulled out the long knife with a bang, and roared: "Fight!"
Zhao Qiyang's troops are all well-trained elites, although the current mutation is sudden and his side is also in a disadvantageous position, no one panicked, and they drew their swords to face the battle, in an orderly manner.
The two gangs of men and horses fought together, and the shiny long knives slashed together, and the bursting true qi mass spread, like a large firecracker exploding on the Shangyuan Festival. The originally silent wilderness suddenly took shape like a pot of boiling water.
Zhao Qiyang used his true qi to penetrate the long knife, and fought hard with the Beihu cultivator in front of him. The skills in the army are wide open, and the emphasis is on simplicity and effectiveness, and if you can take advantage of the momentum with one move, you will never use two knives around the bend.
He is the highest cultivation among this group of Yanmen soldiers, and he intends to rely on his own realm advantage to take the lead in defeating those who fight against him, open the gap in the opponent's formation, and win the fighter for his own side as soon as possible.
But when the two knives collided, he knew he was wrong.
Couldn't be more wrong.
Behind that Beihu cultivator, a huge eagle-like phantom suddenly rose up, with teeth and claws, majestic!
That's the power of the Genshin!
This turned out to be a master in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm!
Such a strong person, how can he also be a thousand-commander and a thousand-captain level figure in the Beihu Army, with a respected status, and now he has come to be a spy!
Zhao Qiyang was struck by lightning, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his body flew out violently, smashing heavily on the hillside, knocking several pieces of gravel away.
After a few more heel fights, he was embarrassed and half-squatted to stabilize his body.
Looking up again, seeing the Beihu cultivator who walked leisurely and calmly towards him, Zhao Qiyang's heart was cold.
He knew that he couldn't stop the other party.
Not only that, but his own team, the most elite part of the five hundred, will die here tonight!
Whether as a soldier of the border army or as a commander, Zhao Qiyang felt that he was derelict in his duties.
But since the other party is in the Yuan Shen Realm, why didn't he leave quickly at the beginning, and he had to hurry slowly, until he was caught up by them now?
Meng Tu, a cultivator of the Beihu Yuan Divine Realm, said lightly to Zhao Qiyang with the eyes of looking at ants: "You group of people are really stupid, I want you to catch up, and you are really trying to bite hard."
"I haven't found out what I want to know in Daizhou City, you are a cultivator in the late stage of the Imperial Qi Realm, how can you be a commander in the Yanmen Army, you should know a lot of things, why don't you tell me:
"Are your Yanmen troops rearming for war?"
Hearing these words, Zhao Qiyang's heart was shocked, and he was even more ashamed.
No wonder he was able to catch up with the other party, no wonder the other party fought back when he approached the Great Wall, it turns out that the truth is here.
Those who can catch up must cultivate well, and their status in the Yanmen army is not low, and they know a lot of things; when they get here, whether they answer questions or not, the other party can easily cross the Great Wall and leave.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qiyang just wanted to die headbutt.
"Today, in the hands of your group of beards, it's grandpa's carelessness, don't talk nonsense, if you have a kind of cut off grandpa's head, frowning and counting grandpa as losing!
Zhao Qiyang turned his head and spat on it, closed his eyes and waited for death.
Montu sneered and said contemptuously, "Want to die? Either you answer my question, or you just watch your men and be killed by me one by one!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand.
Zhao Qiyang let out a sigh in his heart.
His subordinates were now wounded and captured, and some were already dying, and now they were all brought up to him by the other party's people.
The strength of Mengtu's team is obviously not comparable to Zhao Qiyang and others. In the process of escaping, the other party deliberately hid the realm, and he didn't find out earlier.
Meng Tu put the knife on the neck of a Yanmen soldier covered in blood, looked at Zhao Qiyang and said coldly: "I ask a question, you answer, if the answer does not satisfy me, I will kill one of your subordinates."
"Say, is the Yanmen Army already preparing for war?"
The Yanmen army was powerless to struggle, but his eyes were like iron, without fear, blood was still gushing out of his mouth, but he suddenly showed an inexplicable smile: "Commander...... Don't embarrass the Yanmen Army, we'...... Be a comrade again in the next life......"
As soon as the words fell, he faced the scimitar in front of his throat and turned his neck sharply!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Qiyang's eyes were about to bulge.
The other party wants to commit suicide.
He couldn't do anything.
However, the long knife did not cut the throat.
Montu withdrew the long knife just in time.
He grabbed the young Yanmen soldier's neck, and his face was hideous: "You want to die so much? Okay, I'll fulfill you! But I'm going to chop off your hands and feet first, and then cut off your flesh with a knife, and eat it in front of you!"
As he spoke, the scimitar in his hand flashed, and he slashed at the left hand of the Yanmen Army armorer!
"Dog thief, stop!"
"Bastard!"
"Barbarian thief, grandpa won't let you go!"
"I ......"
Including Zhao Qiyang, all the soldiers of the Yanmen Army who were subdued all looked angry.
But there is nothing they can do.
At this moment, they can only watch their comrades being tortured.
Montu was pleased with the scene, and a cruel smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
His knife fell.
But it did not fall on the left hand of the Yanmen army.
It wasn't that he suddenly became merciful.
It was a point of light as blue as a ghostly fire, which came out of nowhere, and shot suddenly into Montu's throat with lightning speed!
Montu's pupils shrank suddenly.
His talisman knife returned to the defense in the lightning and blocked the throat!
The sound was extremely short and harsh.
The talisman knife in Mengtu's hand was actually broken into two in front of this little blue ghost fire!
Montu's expression changed dramatically.
At this moment, the second point of the blue ghost fire came in an instant.
This time Zhao Qiyang saw it clearly, it was not a little fire, but an arrow!
Montu saw it too.
Everyone present saw it.
I can't stop it when I see it.
The arrows came so fast!
At the last moment, Montu jerked his body around to avoid the choke point.
He can only do that.
The arrow hit him in the shoulder, like shooting through tofu, and it passed through with ease!
The wound caused by the arrow was the size of a cup!
The lethality of this arrow is terrifying!
A puddle of blood, carried out by an arrow from Montu's shoulder, looked enchanting in the moonlight.
His body was also stunned for a moment by the huge force of this arrow, and he almost didn't stand firm under his feet.
The stiffness of his body was only for a moment.
But it was at this moment that the third arrow came unexpectedly.
Poof!
The arrow pierced Montu's chest!
His body took a few steps back, and the flesh and blood flew from behind him, and then he froze completely.
His frightened eyes looked down, and there was a huge hole of blood!
At this moment, his facial features were twisted together because of fear, and he raised his hand tremblingly and laboriously, trying to touch and confirm the wound, but halfway through the movement, his body had fallen down.
These three arrows came so fast that even Montu couldn't dodge them, let alone the other Beihu cultivators. It wasn't until Montu fell that they looked in horror and in the direction where the arrows had come from.
Zhao Qiyang and other soldiers of the Yanmen Army who were almost alive also looked to the side with wide eyes.
They had never seen such a powerful talisman bow, and such exquisite archery skills were also rare.
Two hundred paces away, on a high peak, a slender man with a longbow in his hand, standing against the wind under the bright full moon, with his clothes fluttering and his long hair picturesque, overlooking them.
As they looked up, on either side of this person, cultivators jumped out from behind the mountain peaks, all of them moving swiftly and like geese, and swooped towards their location.
Others didn't know who the person with the bow on the peak was, but Zhao Qiyang, as a member of the Zhao clan, quickly recognized it, and immediately cried with joy.
They were saved.
Because, the person who holds the bow is the heir of the Zhao family, Gongzi Ning!
