However, the road they came from behind was not their safe return, and in some sheltered valley in the rear, they had been temporarily camped with their horses.

Horse thieves and horse thieves, long journeys, the most dependent on horses, these horses that are inseparable from them on weekdays are their most loyal friends, even if they are in the invisible wind and snow, these horses that have been carefully selected and replaced can be led by some head horses, quickly and safely through many dangerous areas, and even can maintain a certain riding speed on snowy mountain roads.

Because they knew each other so well, the horses could even smell their masters, and could even hear their owners' eager desire to flee from their master's footsteps. However, as the horse thieves rushed down the hillside towards the valley, they sensed the mortal danger from the sudden neighing of the horses.

The cultivators of the Sword Pavilion in the rear didn't seem to be chasing after them, so the footsteps of these horse thieves who had fled here in a hurry slowed down with the transmission of this dangerous aura.

The horse thieves at the forefront could already see the traces of the horses beating restlessly, but none of the companions who remained in the camp appeared.

In front of those war horses, some objects that looked like snowdrifts rose silently, turning into half-crouching figures, and these figures became more and more in the eyes of the horse thieves, gradually covering the shadows of their war horses.

These horse thieves were not stupid, and when they saw such a picture, they had already understood that the army, which had obviously left the pass for a few days, had avoided their ears and eyes, sneaked back, and took advantage of most of them to set up an ambush at the mouth of the gorge, and directly attacked and cut off their back route.

"Without horses, we can't run far, it's too much to deceive people!

An angry roar rang out among the horse thieves.

This roar of agitation came from a horse thief leader, and all the horse thieves, although they were afraid in their hearts at this time, although they felt that the murder was more than lucky, they all felt that his words at this time were very reasonable. Because of the loss of their horses and their accompanying luggage, even if they were able to escape on their own feet tonight, would they still be able to call horse thieves? They would all be rats crossing the street in the sun, and anyone could bully them.

However, the roar of the leader of the horse thieves did not make the horse thieves move forward again, for in the next moment, his roar was drowned out by a terrible roar of arrows.

A dazzling circle of sparks lit up in the wind and snow.

The leader of the horse thieves was also a cultivator with good cultivation, and the moment the arrows struck, a flying sword had already flown up from his sleeve, and the sword light surrounded his body, quickly cutting into the falling arrows.

However, in only a fraction of a breath, the impact of the blade's cutting arrow clusters turned into countless violent metal sounds!

Puff puff puff.....

Countless balls of blood poured out of the horse thief leader's body at the same time, and his body suddenly became huge, because in just a few breaths, his entire body was already covered with arrows, turning into a huge hedgehog.

All the horse thieves looked at such a scene in the wind and snow in disbelief, they opened their mouths, but they were poured into their mouths by the oncoming wind, and they only felt that their bodies were extremely cold, but they couldn't make any sound at all.

Except for the dozens of arrows that were cut off or knocked away by the horse thief leader's flying sword at the beginning, all the arrows that flew from the night sky in an instant landed on the horse thief leader's body with great precision.

These horse thieves have also experienced battles with many elite border troops in the past many years, but even in the face of the most elite arrow armies of the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Wei Dynasty, they have never seen such a picture.

At this time, the night is like lead, the wind and snow are like anger, if there are several archers who can accurately lock the figure of this horse thief in the crowd, they will not be surprised at all, there are probably several archers in any army, but at this moment, I am afraid that there are dozens or even hundreds of such archers, how can this make them believe their eyes!

Since the Battle of Zhongli, the legend of Lin Yi and Sword Pavilion has also begun to circulate on the border here, but according to accurate information, Lin Yi's Tie Ce army is only a few thousand, and among the thousands of troops, there is such a terrifying proportion of archers?

"We've given you a chance. ”

At this moment, as the body of the leader of the horse thieves who had been shot into a hedgehog slammed to the ground, a voice full of banter came from the wind and snow ahead, "If you dare to do it, you will have to bear the price of doing wrong, what does this have to do with us deceiving people too much? ”

Listening to such a voice, all these horse thieves had bitterness in their mouths, but the vast majority of them felt in their hearts that what this person said was very reasonable, and they could not refute it at all.

The two people in the Sword Pavilion had already reminded them not to do anything before, but they felt that the other party's words and deeds were ridiculous.

As for now, most of the most powerful cultivators in their group have died, and I'm afraid that if they really want to fight each other, a few flying swords from the Sword Pavilion can easily kill most of them.

So I can only blame myself for my bad luck and I ran into such a river dragon.

All of these horse thieves bowed their heads in silence and fled in all directions through the wind and snow around them, even when they heard their companions stumbling down the slope of the steep slope and making a clear sound of fractures, they did not dare to look back.

Xiao Suxin looked at the figures of these horse thieves who fled in a hurry on the verge of life and death, and there was a faint unbearability in his eyes.

Qi Zhuji, who was beside her, closed her neckline, glanced at her, and said sarcastically: "This is already a good ending for them." ”

Xiao Suxin knew in her heart that his words were right, because she knew very well that in order to hide their whereabouts, these horse thieves would often kill all the plundering caravans, leaving no one alive, but this unbearable feeling in her heart was not something she could control.

"Anyone who becomes a horse thief is indeed unlucky. She whispered.

Qi Zhuji also felt that what she said was right, no one naturally likes to be a horse thief, if there is a choice, even if you are a horse thief, you must be a horse thief in that kind of warm and spring-like place, and you don't have to survive in this bitter cold place.

It's just that even so, he has no way to sympathize with these people in his heart, because he is willing to exist in such a group of horse thieves, and there is no difference between the so-called drunken dream and death.

"You can't go far. ”

He looked at the horse thieves who had almost disappeared from his sight, and encouraged Zhenyuan to say, "As long as you can provide military information that is useful to our Tiece army, or can provide military information to the Xiaba coalition army, no matter how big or small, useless or useless, I can return your horses to you." ”

In the wind and snow, many people's bodies came to a halt as if they had been frozen suddenly.

In this valley, all the soldiers of the Tiece Army had straightened up, silently waiting for the return of those people.

Many of them were facing a real battle for the first time, but even if they didn't even really strike tonight, they didn't kill a single enemy with their own hands, but they were infected by the aura of those in the army who had returned alive from Zhongli City, and none of them felt nervous or timid in the face of these horse thieves.
