Chapter 48: Who's the Hunter and Who's the Prey

Above the tower of Jizhen City, a man named Su Xiqing looked into the distance.

If it were an ordinary person, he might not be able to see anything, but Su Xiqing's eagle-like eyes could clearly see the little fire in the distance at this moment.

"Sure enough."

With a punch on the wall beside him, Su Xiqing turned his head to look at the grassland armor behind him.

"Pass the order, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order."

"This ......"

The steppe armor was a little hesitant, and for a while he didn't even know whether he should pass on this order or not.

After all, the order not to leave the city was obviously an act of cowardice in everyone's eyes.

As warriors tempered in the cold wind of Mobei, as proud eagles soaring in the sky, how can they be cowardly?

"It's an order! It's to keep you alive! ”

Kicking the grassland armor soldier with two feet, Su Xiqing directly drove the herald down the city.

But soon, the nine-foot-tall Murshu climbed the tower.

"Big brother, the brothers all have some opinions."

Approaching Su Xiqing's side, Mu Ershu lowered his voice.

"I said before that I wouldn't seal the knife for three days, but now it's just one day, and I let the brothers shrink into the city, isn't it a bit ......?"

The next words, Mu Ershu didn't say, but the expression on his face already said everything.

It's obviously a big victory, but suddenly a sentence is about to turn into a stick, what is this?

Could it be said that their entire front army was surrounded in the city by just one person?

"Or else? Let you go out and die? ”

Su Xiqing closed her eyes, but her brows were still furrowed.

When he saw that little bit of fire, he had already confirmed his previous suspicion, the monster that killed his own brother in the distance had indeed stepped into the level he was currently at - no, this could not even be called a monster anymore, just because he had clearly understood that the other party had not lost his mind because of the bloody aura.

Monsters that have lost their minds only know how to kill indiscriminately everything in front of them, and will only fight to the death, which is easier to deal with.

But the words of man......

People will avoid fighting, and they will run away.

That's where the most trouble comes in.

Although Nan Chen has an old saying that two tigers must be injured when they fight, in fact, on the grassland, when one fierce beast encounters another fierce beast, it will deliberately avoid it - just because even if the beasts know that they both have the ability to really kill each other, such a battle is meaningless, it is better not to fight.

And now, Su Xiqing is encountering this embarrassing situation.

The murderer who killed his brother had indeed stepped into his current level, and at the same time, he was obviously aware of the mortal enmity between each other - this can be seen from the fact that the other party rushed all the way from Yangjiabao to Jizhen, this was obviously aimed at him.

But this enemy, who has a life-and-death enmity with him, has no intention of fighting for his life at all.

The other party killed many armorers through a surprise attack, and it was visible to the naked eye that the enemy was preparing to kill more armorers.

If you are someone else, you may just feel that you are fighting and looking for an opportunity to fight with him.

But for Su Xiqing, who has already stepped into this level, this has another meaning.

"He's hunting, ready to get stronger by killing you."

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiqing clenched his fists.

It's like they did with the Jizhou Governor's Mansion.

At the cost of the lives of the residents of Jizhen, he condensed enough bloody qi for the soldiers and himself, and then broke through the city with a strong posture, and beheaded Liu Yanran, the commander of Jizhen Town...... Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, this is a well-timed attack, but only Su Xiqing himself knows that the core of this set of tactics lies in the bloody qi itself.

It's like rolling a snowball in the middle of the snow, the snowball will get bigger and bigger.

But now this set of tactics is now being used by others on him.

The murderer who killed his own brother is also getting stronger by killing the armor under his command. And unlike his original style of play, the other party is only alone - indeed, if he is alone, he can't kill many people at a time, but if the other party is determined to escape, these grassland armor soldiers can't catch up.

It's like a blood-sucking mosquito, and like a fly that can't be driven away.

But Su Xiqing was more inclined to see this enemy as a wolf in the wilderness.

The wolf is a very patient animal, and it will follow its prey all the way, even if it follows a few hills, until the prey loses its strength and is drained of the last drop of blood.

"That's why I've asked you all to come back to the city, because I'm the only one who can fight him right now."

Speaking of this, Su Xiqing opened his eyes.

"Under the cover of the city walls, he doesn't know where I am, so he hesitates, or, in the words of the southerners, he calls a rat trap...... He doesn't want to confront me head-on right now, so he won't take the initiative to attack the city, as long as there is the cover of the city walls, you are safe. ”

"Big brother, you ......"

The tower-like Mul technique was embarrassing for a while.

As a warrior, he never feared to fight, and Murshu wanted to kill the mortal enemy with his own hands - but he couldn't do it. You must know that even the omnipotent Su Xiqing values that monster so much at the moment, if he goes out, can he really beat it?

If you can't beat it, you will have to be killed, and it will make the blood power of that monster more and more vigorous. If he didn't fight, how could he, as a warrior, retreat?

Before ascending the tower, Murshu had a headache because of this.

But now, Su Xiqing gave him the third answer.

Su Xiqing chose to protect them, to protect them, the weaklings who couldn't fight the monster.

"Big brother, big brother, ......"

Murshu couldn't help but cry bitterly.

It was obviously from the love of this eldest brother, but for Mu Ershu at this moment, it was more sad for him than killing him.

After all, accepting protection means admitting that you are weak.

It is better to make a warrior admit his weakness than to cut him with a thousand knives!

"It's okay, it's normal."

Su Xiqing gently patted Mu Ershu's shoulder.

"When I was first driven out by the tribe, I wasn't weaker, but no one could protect me at that time, and I still had my younger brother with me, so I had to fight hard by myself...... Admitting one's weakness is sometimes not a bad thing, after all, knowing one's weakness is the only way to become truly strong. ”

"Yes, big brother."

Wiping away his tears, Murshu gritted his teeth.

Yes, just like the eldest brother said, although he understands now how weak he is in the face of a real strong.

But because of this, the desire to become stronger in his heart will be extremely strong at this moment.

You must become stronger, you must become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can you protect this big brother's side.

"It's okay, it's not a big deal."

Seeing that Muershu had regained his firmness, Su Xiqing also smiled.

"As long as you all stay in the city, that monster can't kill anyone, he won't have a chance to continue to grow stronger. When the time comes, I'll take the opportunity to kill that monster with one sword, and this matter will be over. ”

"Don't worry, big brother, we won't be out of ...... Wait a minute? ”

Muershu, who remembered something, was suddenly stunned.

"Big brother, do you still remember, when the Qingyang Ministry sent troops?"

"Qingyang said at the time that three days later, and now it has been a day...... Damn it! ”

Looking at the direction of the grassland in the distance, Su Xiqing's face was pale.

Indeed, if he led his armor soldiers to defend the city, the monster would throw a rat trap and dare not attack and kill.

But can't the soldiers of the Qingyang Department be killed?
