Chapter 149: Escape
Ryan rushed out of the city gate in the shortest amount of time, and then ran as fast as he could, toward a forest about two kilometers outside the city. He had more experience in escaping in the forest, and after breaking out of Pools City, it seemed that there was only one choice, because everywhere else, except for a wide official road, was a plain with a clear view, which was not conducive to escaping at all.
Seeing Ryan rush out, all the city guard soldiers and the swordsmen of Count Nock's family all wanted to chase Ryan, but everyone flocked to the city gate. This time, it blocked the city gate, and the speed was even slower, especially those swordsmen who were chasing behind and had superior strength, who were blocked by the city guards in front of them, and missed the best opportunity to pursue Ryan.
Under the aura of the swordsman leader, a sword blade more than two feet long shot towards Ryan, who was running fast. But the distance from Ryan was too far, and the blade of the sword fell to the ground with all its strength, but it didn't catch up with Ryan.
Ryan ran quickly, ran more than a hundred meters away and looked back, and saw that there were many pursuers behind, reaching dozens of people, but they were all far behind, and the closest one to Ryan was about thirty meters away.
Suddenly, Ryan's mood relaxed a little.
However, Ryan only relaxed for a moment, because he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, Ryan quickly looked back again, but almost lost his soul, only to see several horses rushing out from the distance of the city gate, riding several swordsman-like people, chasing in the direction of Ryan.
Ryan couldn't help but speed up again, so to speak, Ryan is desperate now. Because the horses run faster than Ryan, if Ryan is caught up and blocked by these horses, and then surrounded by a large group of pursuers behind, Ryan will be captured alive no matter how great his ability is.
Ryan's only way to escape now is to run into the woods as quickly as possible, so that there is a chance of survival.
After a few moments, the sound of horses' hooves behind him was getting closer, and Ryan's speed became a little slower. His stamina was too exerted, but he was still far from the woods, and he had only run a little more than half the distance. The only good place is the pursuers who are chasing with their feet behind, which are pulled away very far, almost more than a hundred meters.
"Don't run like this anymore, or you won't have the strength to fight when you catch up." Ryan thought to himself as he ran.
"What should I do?" For a moment, Ryan couldn't think of a good idea, "If only the other party didn't have a horse." ”
In the blink of an eye, the pursuers on the horse were about to catch up with Ryan's ass, and the swordsman leader who was running at the front wanted to unleash a sword blade from a distance of three or four meters.
The blade of the sword, more than a foot long, shot straight at Ryan's back.
Ryan heard the wind coming from behind him, and hurriedly increased the speed that had slowed down by a few points. In an instant, the blade grazed Ryan's heel and hit the ground behind him, striking a sword mark three or four inches deep. The stone stirred up by the blade bounced off Ryan's calf, causing Ryan to feel a dull pain.
At this critical moment, Ryan stopped, turned around, and faced the five swordsmen who were rushing straight at him on horseback.
This is the last thing Ryan wants to face, but at this moment he has to face it, or he will die even worse.
The swordsman leader at the front didn't expect Ryan to stop, so he couldn't stop his horse in time and still rushed straight towards Ryan.
Ryan hurriedly moved his steps to the left, and suddenly the horse rushed past Ryan's side.
The swordsman leader was caught off guard and did not swing his sword to attack Ryan, which gave Ryan a good opportunity to attack.
I saw Ryan swing his heavy sword, a flat slash, and slashed heavily on the hind leg of the horse that passed by, almost cutting off that leg alive.
"Hiss......" The wounded horse screamed and ran forward a few more steps, before the whole horse fell to the ground with the swordsman leader.
The leader of the swordsmen was in a hurry, and tried to jump out of the horse the moment he fell, but his feet were caught in the stirrups, and he couldn't break free for a while, and he was thrown to the ground with the horses.
After Ryan cut the first horse, the second horse came roaring in a blink of an eye, and this time Ryan didn't have time to cut the horse's leg, so he had to try his best to avoid the horse's collision.
When the third horse ran in front of Ryan, the swordsman had already reacted, and saw him raise his long sword alof, unleash a two-foot-long sword, and take advantage of the horse's momentum to slash at Ryan.
Ryan retreated to the side again, and at the same time raised his heavy sword diagonally to block the opponent's fierce sword, and then, at the moment when the two swords touched, Ryan tried his best to unload the opponent's long sword to the side, and then took advantage of the huge power of the opponent's sword to retreat to the side.
"Huh......" The third horse passed by, and the swordsman's slashing sword only caused Ryan a little numbness in the tiger's mouth.
The fourth horse was a little farther away from Ryan, galloping past a few meters away.
The swordsman on the last horse was the slowest chase, but he had plenty of time to prepare, and as soon as he saw Ryan stop, he pulled the reins to slow down the horse. Then he jumped off his horse in front of Ryan, raised a long sword that was more than two feet long, and ran straight towards Ryan.
This is a level 4 swordsman, and his strategy is correct, as long as he can entangle Ryan for ten breaths, the rest of the people can surround him, and then Ryan will just wait to be captured.
However, his wishful thinking could not wake up, and Ryan was already aware of the situation. So the moment Ryan saw the swordsman jumping down from the horse in the jogging and rushing over, he began to turn around and run, without giving the other party the slightest chance to intercept.
Ryan chose to run in a slightly more directional direction than he had run before, which could either bypass the horses that had already chased him, and also run in the direction of the woods, but only a little farther away.
When Ryan started to run, the empty horse that no one rode passed by Ryan after the swordsman jumped off, and Ryan had an idea, and hurriedly swung his heavy sword and stabbed the horse. In an instant, the heavy sword stabbed into the horse's side, but after an inch or two of flesh, Ryan immediately drew his sword and continued to run.
"Hiss......" There was a mournful roar, and the empty horse galloped wildly in pain, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Suddenly, Ryan ran desperately, and there were bursts of curses behind him.
Of the five horses in the pursuers, two could no longer pursue, and the swordsman on the horse could only hold back more anger and chase desperately behind Ryan. The remaining three horses that had overrun hurriedly adjusted the direction of the horses and continued to chase them.
The horses were quick and caught up with Ryan after he had run two hundred meters. The swordsman who ran on his legs was much slower, and the swordsman who jumped off the last horse was a little closer, only more than twenty meters away from Ryan, and the other swordsman leader who fell heavily to the ground was much farther away, he was a full sixty or seventy meters away.
This time, the three swordsmen on horseback were more experienced, and after catching up with Ryan, they dispersed, and the horses on both sides crossed Ryan and ran in front of Ryan, while the swordsman in the middle swung his long sword and used his horsepower to attack Ryan.
Ryan turned his head to pay attention to the situation of the pursuers behind him as he ran, and when he saw that the people were attacking again, he rolled to the side without hesitation, and rolled far away with the momentum, and suddenly avoided the impact of the other party, and the opponent's horse also rushed to the front of Ryan at once.
When Ryan got up from the ground and continued to run, his face immediately changed greatly, and at this time he didn't care about the skin injuries that rolled too hard and scratched his hands and feet, because the three swordsmen who chased in front stopped their horses more than ten meters in front, and jumped off their horses together at the same time, as if they wanted to form a character formation to intercept Ryan in front.
At this moment when there was an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, Ryan was ruthless, he adjusted his direction again, adjusted to a straight line distance from the woods, and rushed towards a swordsman on the side like crazy.
Ryan is going to fight hard, he has to use force to break the interception in front of him, and he can run into the woods as soon as possible.
Ryan rushed forward at a faster pace.
Suddenly, the swordsman seemed to shrink a little in the face of the menacing Ryan, and his feet took a step back in a defensive posture. At the same time, he raised the long sword in his hand, and a sword more than a foot long appeared on the sword.
When Ryan saw it, he immediately felt some comfort in his heart, this was a level 3 swordsman, not a level 5 and level 6 swordsman that Ryan was worried about.
The other two swordsmen who jumped off their horses also hurriedly ran over to intercept Ryan when they saw Ryan rushing towards the swordsman on the side. However, they had spread out a little bit to intercept Ryan before, so they were a little far away from this swordsman.
Ryan took advantage of the momentum, raised his heavy sword, and stabbed straight at the swordsman who was in his way. This move can be said to be Ryan's unprecedented ferocity, and the momentum of seeing death as if he were at home and moving forward with indomitable momentum suddenly made the swordsman who was blocking the way turn pale.
Ryan's bayonet is very difficult to stop, and when he encounters such a move in a fight, he usually dodges and then counterattacks. In a scene like this now, if the swordsman who blocks the road dodges, then Ryan may take advantage of the gap to cross over, break through the interception and escape again.
The swordsman who stood in the way seemed to be very timid, and as soon as he saw Ryan menacing, he immediately had the intention of dodging and getting out of the way. However, another swordsman who was running over to assist in intercepting him seemed to know his character, and he shouted, "Stop, don't hide." ”
Suddenly, the timid swordsman gritted his teeth and did not move, but his upper body turned to one side and blocked Ryan's sword body diagonally with his long sword, trying to block Ryan's heavy sword unloading.
However, he also underestimated Ryan too much. Indeed, Ryan's bayonet sword was blocked in the other direction by his longsword, but Ryan's body immediately rushed forward, and with the momentum, he flew up his right leg and kicked heavily in the chest of the swordsman who stood in the way.
The roadblock swordsman suddenly screamed, and his body involuntarily flew backwards.
There was no one standing in Ryan's way again, but Ryan's danger had just arrived. I saw the swordsman who came to assist from the side, unleashing a one-foot-long blade and shooting straight at Ryan's jumping body.
