Chapter 61: The Pursuit of the Dead (3)
Although more and more defenders came over, under Ling Xiao's way of opening the way, the group gradually approached the city gate.
With the help of the terrain behind him, Ling Xiao had one person and one sword, and he actually blocked all this group of defense troops.
Ling Xiao only relied on his powerful perception and moves beyond ordinary people's imagination to kill more than a dozen defenders in one go.
And this hand also greatly shocked everyone, and for a time it made those defenders dare not approach.
As a defense force, they are all well-trained soldiers, and they naturally have a lot of knowledge.
But they had never seen someone who could kill more than a dozen of their companions in one breath without relying on Xuan Qi.
Such strange scenes are far beyond their understanding.
In their opinion, how could someone not have Xuan Qi and single-handedly kill more than a dozen Silver Xuanwu Warriors in a row.
This is really incredible, is there any master in the vicinity who is secretly helping to possess him?
Naturally, there are no masters to help in the dark, and there are only Ling Xiao alone.
Although he can't use Xuan Qi, he only needs to be enough.
It was precisely because Ling Xiao's hand shook everyone that they didn't dare to approach for a short time, which also gave Ling Xiao a little respite.
After all, he had already suffered a lot of injuries in order to cover Zhao Wan'er and his party to escape from Zhao Mansion, although he didn't take these people in front of him in his eyes.
But if everyone rushes up regardless of their surnames, he will also be a little difficult to handle.
Zhao Wan'er has calmed down at the moment after her previous grief, I have to say that Zhao Wan'er is different from ordinary women, but in this crisis moment, she is becoming more and more calm.
If she were an ordinary woman, she would have been so frightened by the situation in front of her that she couldn't move.
Seeing the scene of Ling Xiao blocking all the defenders with one person and one sword, Zhao Wan'er's beautiful eyes also lit up with a touch of brilliance.
However, at the same time, she also quickly instructed Zhou Ziming to open the city gate behind her. At the same time, Zhao Wan'er is also always paying attention to Ling Xiao's situation and is ready to support at any time.
Although she only has eight stages of Xuanqi, if Xiao Ling is in danger, she will definitely do her best to save her.
This is not only that she was kind and didn't want others to die for her, but more importantly, Xiao Ling had saved her in danger three or four times before, how could she have watched Xiao Ling die.
When Zhou Ziming heard Zhao Wan'er's command, he hurriedly jumped off the back of the cloud-maned beast, ran quickly to the city gate, and slowly opened the tall city gate.
"No, they have to open the gates and run away, don't let them run. ”
The guards found out about Zhou Ziming's actions, and suddenly the crowd twitched, although they were a little shocked by Ling Xiao's methods, but the perennial training still made them rush towards Ling Xiao for the first time.
Ling Xiao naturally knew that this was a critical moment, and he must not let these people in front of him rush over.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao stood in front of him with the Shadow Dance Sword in his hand, took a strong breath, and immediately faced the group of defenders.
The sword was full of light, and in the blink of an eye, Ling Xiao was surrounded by several defense legions.
But Ling Xiao also relied on his powerful perception and exquisite sword moves to not let those defenders take a step closer.
Don't look at the large number of these defenders, but under the city gate, the space is small, and only four or five people can pass through at a time.
Ling Xiao took advantage of this terrain to constantly wander around a group of defense troops.
Relying on clever body skills, he constantly dodged the attacks of the defenders.
In the face of Ling Xiao, the group of defenders also became more and more frightened, they didn't expect this Ling Xiao to be so powerful, relying on only a sword to block them out, unable to get close for half a minute.
Soon, Zhou Ziming behind him had slowly lowered the city gate, and Ling Xiao only needed to hold on for a moment before he could escape safely.
But at this moment, Ling Xiao had to bear a lot of pressure, and the injuries in his body that were forcibly suppressed by him seemed to have uncontrollable signs, and he was forcibly suppressed by Ling Xiao again several times.
At the same time, three more defenders died at the hands of Ling Xiao.
Finally, when the heavy city gate fell to the ground, Zhou Ziming also hurriedly turned over and returned to the back of the cloud-maned beast, Zhao Wan'er kept watching the situation on both sides, and saw the city gate open at this moment, and then hurriedly shouted to Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling, the city gate has been opened, come back quickly." ”
When Ling Xiao heard this, he naturally didn't make any nostalgia, and as soon as his body moved, he was ready to get rid of those defenders.
But when he just wanted to retreat, his figure was stunned, and at this moment, the defenders behind him, who had been forced to retreat, rushed up again and entangled him.
"Damn, it's just a little bit!" Ling Xiao was secretly annoyed in his heart.
It turned out that at this moment, the injuries in his body that had been forcibly suppressed by him repeatedly finally erupted uncontrollably.
Because of Ling Xiao's several suppressions, the already chaotic body became even more messy, and the huge Xuan Qi was like a sharp blade, constantly slicing Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao, who was entangled again, although his body was extremely colic, his pride would never allow him to fall into the hands of these ants.
The tiger's eyes froze, and Ling Xiao's body exuded a domineering momentum.
The Shadow Dance Sword swept back, spilling a mist of blood from the sky.
A few screams sounded, Ling Xiao snorted coldly, then his footsteps were light, and then he quickly jumped behind Zhao Wan'er.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Wan'er had been preparing for a long time, and when she saw Xiao Ling getting out of danger, she immediately urged the cloud-maned beast under her feet to move.
The two cloud-maned beasts let out a long cry, and then turned into a breeze and ran out of the city.
And at this time, Qin Powu happened to catch up with a group of subordinates, and when he saw Zhao Wan'er and the others leaving, he was furious in his heart, and said urgently: "Give me chase, you must not let them go." ”
Outside the city, Zhao Wan'er controlled the cloud-maned horse while asking with concern: "Xiao Ling, how are you?"
Ling Xiao just endured the tumbling qi and blood in his body, and forced back those defenders with a sword, although it made them successfully escape from the sea city, but it also made him more injured.
Relaxed at this moment, the churning qi and blood in his body made the blood on Ling Xiao's face fade.
A burst of colic came, Ling Xiao couldn't help leaning on Zhao Wan'er, but his heart was extremely angry, as the young palace master of the Wuji Immortal Palace, a rare Tianxuan powerhouse of the younger generation in the mainland, how could he ever be so embarrassed.
Even if he encountered that group of black-clothed assassins last time, he was seriously injured, and he could still easily deal with it with just one hand and one sword.
Don't forget, the group of assassins were all Golden Xuanwu, and one of them was a Jade Xuanwu.
And just now, what he was facing was just a group of ordinary Silver Xuanwu.
"Xiao Ling! Xiao Ling!" Zhao Wan'er felt that Xiao Ling fell on top of her, she had never had such intimate contact with a different surname since she had grown so big.
But she didn't have any idea in her heart, because she knew that the reason why Xiao Ling leaned on her must be because of the previous reading power against the group of defense troops, which caused him to be injured.
Zhao Wan'er's anxious shout also shocked his spirit.
Then he felt several breaths behind him slowly approaching, and then reminded in a hoarse voice: "Someone is chasing after you." ”
After saying this, Ling Xiao could no longer control his injury, and instantly fell softly on Zhao Wan'er's body, losing consciousness.
Feeling the weight behind her, Zhao Wan'er called a few times anxiously, but she didn't get any echo back.
But after being reminded by Ling Xiao, Zhao Wan'er didn't dare to stop at all.
"Sister, Brother Xiao Ling seems to have fainted, will he be okay?" Zhao Xu, who was sitting in Zhao Wan'er's arms, said with some concern.
"Don't talk nonsense, your brother Xiao Ling is so powerful, how can there be anything. Zhao Wan'er stopped Zhao Xu's words, then suppressed the worry in her heart, and fled quickly with everyone.
Zhao Wan'er didn't notice that when she mentioned Xiao Ling, her tone seemed to be a little different.
Running all the way non-stop, Zhao Wan'er knew that Qin Powu was a person sent by the emperor, that is to say, it was the emperor of the Tianlong Empire who killed their Zhao family.
As a result, wherever they flee, they are highly likely to be discovered.
Therefore, the only option now is to escape from the jurisdiction of the Celestial Dragon Empire, which can be regarded as relatively safe.
After a day of running, the sky turned from bright to dark, with the strength of Zhao Wan'er and the others, they didn't know if those people behind them had been thrown away, so they didn't dare to be careless, they were afraid that if they slowed down a little, what was waiting for them would be endless pursuit.
At this time, Xiao Ling, who had been leaning on Zhao Wan'er's back and was motionless, suddenly let out a slight moan, and then opened her eyes.
The stinging pain all over his body almost made him faint again, barely propped himself up, and found that he was sitting behind Zhao Wan'er, and was about to ask, and Zhao Wan'er also found out the movement behind him for the first time, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Xiao Ling, are you awake?"
"It's okay, it's just that I've been injured a lot, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fight in a short time. Xiao Ling also received the information from Ling Xiao for the first time, and then said hoarsely.
"As long as you're okay, we're heading in the direction of the Lingyun Empire now, and we should be safe as long as we get there. Zhao Wan'er said quickly.
Xiao Ling naturally didn't have any opinion on this, so he didn't answer, but reminded him that the people behind him were not thrown away, but got closer and closer.
At first glance, Xiao Ling was also a little frightened, the strength of those people, Xiao Ling had already understood, now he couldn't use Xuan Qi, and because Ling Xiao had killed those Jin Xuanwu and fought against a group of defenders alone, his body was already overloaded.
Therefore, if those people really catch up, I am afraid that they will not be able to resist at all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling said quickly: "Miss, can you hurry up, I noticed that the group of people behind me was already approaching us." ”
When Zhao Wan'er heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked, and kept urging the cloud-maned beast under her feet to speed up, but the current speed was already the limit of the cloud-maned beast's speed, and it was useless to let Zhao Wan'er and Qing'er use any means.
