Chapter 853: Bloodstained Peach Leaf Crossing (Medium)
The one who galloped to the peach leaf ferry was a soldier with dozens of armor and crossbows.
And the leader of the man, although only dressed in civilian clothes, gave people a feeling of sharper and more terrifying than those murderous cavalrymen, especially his narrow eyes under the long eyebrows, more like two long knives that can pierce people, so that people only have a slight contact with them, and then they will hang their eyes in fear.
This person is Huo Jun, who enjoys great fame in the rivers and lakes and is known as the Sword Sect of the World.
In fact, as a master-level sword master in today's rivers and lakes, Huo Jun has never been such a sharp character, in the past, no matter where he went, he was quite low-key, and when he didn't make a move, he would be ignored by everyone.
But this time, because of the anger in his heart, he didn't restrain his edge, just like a treasure knife that appeared directly from the sheath, suppressing everyone in front of him.
And his anger comes from his previous repeated setbacks.
Thinking about him Huo Jun, as the world's number one sword master, what kind of status and identity is that, that is, a civil force like the Zonghenghui, if you want to ask yourself to help, you have to pay a considerable price, and you are so angry that you ask for half a month, and this is still for the sake of your apprentice Liu Yanyang.
But the battle that he was determined to win made Huo Jun lose face, and even almost took his life.
The target of the chase that day was so strong that he could get out of his hands repeatedly, and in the end, he was in the river and lost both with him, which made Huo Jun, who didn't know how to water, suffer enough.
If he hadn't been rescued later and sent to Kaifeng for diagnosis and treatment, his reputation as the first generation of Huo Dao Sect would have been ruined.
It is precisely because of this life-saving grace that Huo Jun has been staying in Kaifeng, just to repay his kindness.
Then just a few days ago, when the opportunity came, someone assassinated Qin Yude, and the governor of the Pingtian Army also gave a death order, and he was determined to capture him alive, and he did not hesitate to use his strongest bargaining chip.
Huo Jun originally thought that this matter was naturally captured, an assassin was just a small night, could he escape from his palm?
But it turned out that he was wrong, and the other party was far more deceitful and shrewd than he imagined.
Not only did they hide under the blockade of the whole city, but they also escaped a few days later at night. And he actually got off under Huo Jun's nose.
Huo Jun thought that the other party was pretending to be a corpse and deceived himself, so he tried his best to catch up. As a result, after walking for a while, he suddenly woke up again, and the people and horses he brought out before did not follow.
When he hurried back again, he saw only the corpses in that place...... Obviously, he was once again calculated by the assassin and became an accomplice, and took him out of the well-fortified city of Kaifeng.
With this series of fooled results, how can Huo Jun not be angry?
In this way, he did not care about anything else, and only sent one person to report the news, and then took the remaining cavalry, and pursued all the way along the traces left by the other party.
Sun Ning is indeed extremely good, but there is one omission, that is, the six horses are bound to leave clearer traces on the road, and it is easy to be chased by others.
Of course, this is also related to Huo Jun's timely discovery of the problem and his quick catch-up. If they had been delayed for the night, and when other horses had passed by after dawn to cover up the traces, it would have been more difficult for them to follow the tracks of the horses' hooves.
As for today's daytime, when many traces were really destroyed, Sun Ning and the others fell three horses along the way, which became a guiding light.
As a result, Huo Jun was able to chase all the way with this trace - although they were only one person and one horse, they were able to change horses from the post stations under the rule of the Pingtian Army along the way with their personal orders, so they could also maintain full speed - and finally had a meal later than Sun Ning and the others, and went to Taoyedu.
If it had been a little more night, they would have had to pounce on the air. Because at that time, the ship was already offshore, and no matter how ruthless Huo Jun was, he could only choose to give up.
And now, they arrived in time, and with Sun Ning's turn of the year, they exchanged eyes with Huo Jun, and their identities naturally couldn't be hidden.
"It's you!" Huo Jun immediately let out a low groan, and the murderous intent in his eyes exploded.
Although this time, Sun Ning and him almost never met each other - even when he went out of the city, because he didn't expect this to happen, Huo Jun didn't identify this previous target opponent from the people who went out of the city with him.
It was only at this time that the two officially faced each other, and Huo Jun didn't even have to think about it, he had already expected that the assassin who caused a mess in Kaifeng was the opponent who almost died in his own hands and almost drowned himself in the river.
Although until now, he didn't know who this guy's surname was or who he was.
But this is no longer important, now there is only one thought left in Huo Jun's heart - kill him, at all costs!
"Shoot the arrows! Kill! ”
With Huo Jun's unhesitating order, those generals who were also full of murderous intent also quickly raised their bows and crossbows in their hands and struck out.
The whizzing arrows suddenly connected in a line and fell straight down on everyone in front of them.
They didn't know exactly what the target Huo Jun was referring to, anyway, if they killed everyone on the ferry, they would complete the task.
The sharp arrow fell into the crowd, causing an immediate burst of screaming and chaos.
Many people never imagined that they would come here to take a boat and be subjected to such merciless killing, and they fell instantly. The rest of them also cried and shouted, and even rolled and crawled to the ground and ran around to dodge.
However, this ferry is really not wide, and there are many people, so where can they dodge and dodge for a while. And the arrows never broke, and they came one after another, constantly hitting the human body, making more people scream and fall.
In the blink of an eye, seventy or eighty innocent people were shot and fell. The blood under them flowed down even more, falling into the water in front of them, staining the river in front of the peach leaf crossing red.
Only a very small number of people with excellent reactions and martial arts can protect themselves in this continuous chaotic arrow, which naturally includes Sun Ning and the others.
Both of them looked ugly, and their hearts were full of anger.
They were stunned that the pursuers had come so quickly, and they were even more angry at the indiscriminate killing of innocents by the other side.
Sun Ning's mind is turning fast, and in this current game, he will definitely not be able to avoid it, and he can only fight with it.
And relying only on the two of them, in the face of a master like Huo Jun, Guan Zhenduo is seriously injured and has not recovered, and he is bound to fall into a great disadvantage, so he must rely on the strength of everyone around him.
So after he helped the two people beside him block a few arrows with a knife, he shouted loudly: "If you want to live, you must join forces to kill the enemy." Do you have the courage to follow me? ”
"Why don't you dare?" A tall and thin man next to him shouted, waving a rod in his hand, and quickly knocked a few random arrows away.
"Then get on!" Sun Ning didn't wait for the others to make a sound, and he had already quickly counterattacked, killing the cavalry in front of him who had been arrayed and firing arrows!
Some people died, but not completely......
