Chapter 20: The Lion's Fury
Qin Jian galloped quickly and sneaked back to the east of the town, and circled around the town in half a circle, coming to the direction of the southeast near the main road.
The sword alliance's rocket signal did not rise again, and Qin Jian felt a hint of joy in his heart, the pursuers of the sword alliance may have been scattered and tracked in the north.
Qin Jian was thinking about luck in his heart, but he was still galloping rapidly, and the slightest hint of joy in Qin Jian's heart had not completely retreated, he had begun to regret running on this road, and he also regretted his greed - the sky was bright, and the road was halfway or he could buy a horse for the road at a high price.
Qin Jian's body slowed down, and he could pass through some small forests composed of intricately grown trees and go straight to the official road after only a few hundred meters forward, but there was a person standing under a big tree outside the forest at this time, Qin Jian stopped more than twenty meters away, and when he looked at it by the moonlight, several more people appeared behind the mixed trees, and they had gathered together between the figures.
Qin Jian felt that Yan Xiaojun was not moving on his back, a wry smile appeared on his face, he himself knew that Yan Xiaojun would not wake up now, Qin Jian couldn't help but touch the knot that tied Yan Xiaojun and himself together, he couldn't let the knot loosen, this battle was inevitable.
The old man dressed in green silk, short lean, wearing a golden open shirt and a bronze buckle around his waist had slowly walked over, followed by a man in a blue and gray robe, the two of them walked steadily but lightly, and in a moment they were already standing six or seven meters away from Qin Jian.
Qin Jian looked at the former and the latter two, he had recognized one of them, the same name as ****, and also a brother of life and death, one of the two sword envoys of the Sword Alliance Branch, Lion and Jiang Kuo, and the other altar master who governed a region, Dou Tao, but Qin Jian didn't know him.
Qin Jian watched the two of them stand still, his eyes also glanced at more than twenty meters away, the four black-clothed men with swords had dispersed, and surrounded the soon-to-open battle group on three sides, and there were only five black-clothed people left who were still in place, they didn't surround them, they were lined up, they didn't need to surround them, the bows and arrows were much faster than the speed at which they rushed towards Qin Jian, Qin Jian was also standing too far away to see clearly, and the arrows on their bows turned out to be two combined.
Dou Tao sighed lightly and said: "The prodigal son, Qin Jian's name moves the rivers and lakes, how can he be with this thief, the Sword Alliance doesn't want to have a grudge with Qin Daxia, and I hope that Qin Daxia will put down the person on his back and leave quickly, the disciples of the Sword Alliance have never seen Qin Daxia." ”
Jiang Kuo just stood with a gloomy face, and Dou Tao was perhaps even more afraid that Jiang Kuo, who was already short-tempered and angry at this time, would give up the last chance to persuade Qin Jian first, so he overstepped his authority to say this.
Qin Jian smiled helplessly, and then said: "Letting go of him is also letting go of Qin Jian's name, although the name is very heavy, but all the way with him, the letter is even heavier, I can't leave him." ”
Dou Tao was about to say something, but the lion and Jiang Kuo let out a long-suppressed roar, and the person rose in the air, and the heavy Qimen blade, the Arc Moon Broadsword, had already smashed down with the flying figure.
Qin Jian staggered and shifted his body, Dou Tao had nothing to say, he was here to help Jiang Kuo, as soon as he turned to the center of the arena, he picked up the sword and came to seal Qin Jian's horizontal way.
Qin Jian has Yan Xiaojun on his back, he is now not only Qin Jian's weakness, but also makes Qin Jian's martial arts can only play three or four out of ten, Qin Jian has no intention of fighting and can only fly backwards.
Jiang Kuo smashed his sword into the air with a volley, a low roar, his footsteps circled, and the heavy sword swirled with his body, and a whirlwind slash that few people came to make was born.
Qin Jian's figure retreated again, and Jiang Kuo's footwork in the sword circle rotated faster and faster, and the strong wind brought by the arc moon heavy sword made Qin Jian, who was retreating two meters away, dance and fly, and it would be clear that Jiang Kuo's sword wind was strong, if he was slashed on his body, then Qin Jian and Yan Xiaojun would be stunned for a moment by someone else's sword and two sections.
Dou Tao's body was light, he rushed on the left side, and he grabbed the sword to seal Qin Jian's retreat, he wanted to rob Qin Jian, and cooperate with Jiang Kuo's whirlwind slash that was not afraid of dizziness and whirled angrily.
Qin Jian's regressed and his body stopped suddenly, he understood Dou Tao's meaning, his body just stopped, the force under his feet, his body moved out, Dou Tao's sword missed, his body flew upside down, and Jiang Kuo's whirlwind slash also swirled and slashed where he and Qin Jian had just stopped.
Dou Tao fell into shape, his toes flew towards Qin Jian again, Jiang Kuo's arc moon heavy sword smashed into the ground, and then instantly fixed the rotating figure, for a moment the qi and blood surged, his face was red, the green tendons on the back of his hand were exposed but did not turn around, the sword picked up the dirt in the muffled roar, jumped and rushed towards Qin Jian, before the person arrived, the undispersed soil had been sandwiched with a strong wind.
Qin Jian's wrong step had already flashed the long sword that Dou Tao had chopped off, and his figure flew up, and a piece of dirt connected to tough grass had already shot past the soles of his feet.
When Qin Jian's figure fell, Jiang Kuo's arc moon heavy sword had already been slashed, Qin Jian staggered his sleeves, and Jiang Kuo's arc moon heavy sword smashed into the air.
Dou Tao slashed the sword again, and the person retreated with the sword momentum to unload the force, but Qin Jian's body was as fast as a ghost in an instant, deceiving his body, Dou Tao knew that it was not good, the power of the long sword to be swung away was not gone, and he was not in a hurry to return the sword, but Qin Jian's figure was fast and dazzled him.
A muffled snort sounded! Dou Tao was punched hard by Qin Jian on the shoulder, and Dou Tao's body that smashed straight into the punch flew upside down, and the sound of bone crushing could be heard.
Jiang Kuo saw that Qin Jian had injured Dou Tao in an instant, and he didn't know whether he was angry or afraid, and in the roar, the arc moon heavy sword slashed with the howling wind again.
Qin Jian retreated, but not far away, he was already in this series of attacks with his back to the archers, if he retreated from the battle group, the archers behind him would never hesitate, so although his figure retreated, he was not two or three meters away from Jiang Kuo, which restrained the archers from daring to make a rash move.
Dou Tao's scream had become dull because of his clenched teeth, a black-clothed swordsman had helped Dou Tao to sit up, and the other three black-clothed swordsmen all rushed to the battle group, the altar master was seriously injured and could not fight anymore, they could only go up hard and help Jiang Kuo.
Jiang Kuo was furious at this time, but he didn't know Qin Jian's motives, and he picked up the arc moon heavy sword to move ruthlessly, and when the three black-clothed swordsmen surrounded him, Jiang Kuo had already cut out three swords, and Qin Jian had also retreated seven or eight meters, Jiang Kuo rushed forward, and the arc moon heavy sword slashed again, and the two black-clothed swordsmen who arrived first also blocked the way on both sides of Qin Jian at the same time.
Qin Jian couldn't dodge Yan Xiaojun in the slightest, only jumped out before the three swords were encircled, Jiang Kuo's sword was heavy, but he was never full, a sword fell into the air and the body walked with the sword, not leaving Qin Jian's three-meter radius to pick up the sword and slash can cover Qin Jian's body.
The two black-clothed swordsmen were also not slow, and one move was almost instantaneous to close the momentum, stabilize the sword, rush the body, and exert force, and the two long swords were covered by Qin Jian in two directions.
Qin Jian suddenly let out a low and muffled roar, his body turned around, and he ran towards the archers ten meters away like an arrow, Jiang Kuo only cared about chasing and killing Qin Jian, he only understood at this time that Qin Jian had been preparing for this last rush since he began to retreat until now Qin Jian had been preparing for this last rush, and that dull roar was obviously sent by gathering all his strength, Qin Jian wanted to break through this last barrier and escape away.
Although Jiang Kuo's figure couldn't catch up with Qin Jian, his shouting was extremely fast: "Release the arrow!"
Qin Jian's figure had already jumped up, and the black-clothed man on the opposite side had been waiting for him, Qin Jian rushed towards them as fast as lightning, which was beyond their expectations for a while, and the arrow full of power was almost instinctively launched.
The arrows flew away from under his feet with a sharp roar, Qin Jian's forward momentum only changed from sticking to the ground to volleying, and before the bow that the archer shot out of the front had time to retract, Qin Jian had already fallen in front of him, bending down to accumulate strength, and the archer who was not in a hurry to react rushed from the bottom to the top with a scream and flew upside down, Qin Jian's body had passed under him and shot away.
Jiang Kuo's heavy sword smashed and flew past the flying arrows that Qin Jian shot at him, and his body rushed to chase after him, far faster than the black-clothed swordsmen on both sides who had not encountered obstacles, and the archers in the air had fallen, blocking in front of Jiang Kuo, who was rushing forward, but Qin Jian was more than ten meters away, and the remaining archers hurriedly took arrows, drew their bows, and shot the last arrow at Qin Jian's back.
The archer who fell from Jiang Kuo's hand had been caught in his hand, and with a push, the archer's figure fell to the side, and the long scream was only the end at this time, and the blood in the mouth of the grass overflowed, and the whole body shrank into a ball, in order to relieve the pain of a broken sternum and a surge of blood.
Qin Jian's body rose and fell, and the flying arrows shot from behind had become the arrow markers for Qin Jian to guide the way in front, and they disappeared into the woods together, and Jiang Kuo behind him had already reached the edge of the forest and was thrown more than twenty meters away.
Qin Jian was carrying Yan Xiaojun, but his body was still as fast as a flying arrow, and at this time, Yan Xiaojun's body was no longer swinging, but following the forward momentum of Qin Jian, although it did not increase Qin Jian's speed, it did not hinder Qin Jian's body technique.
The neighing and howling of horses sounded before and after.
Jiang Kuo had already stopped, looking at the horses on the ground with their reins broken and rolling back and forth, and with a wild roar, he raised his head and spread through the forest.
The three swordsmen in black had already chased over, and the archers had also entered the forest one after another, Jiang Kuo looked at the direction where Qin Jian was running with a gloomy face, and said, "You go to track along the road, and pay attention to the signals sent by the brothers waiting in front." ”
The three black-clothed swordsmen and four archers left in response, Jiang Kuo looked at the horse on the ground that was screaming and trying to stand up, he knew in his heart that it was impossible for this horse to stand up within an hour or two, and Qin Jian's fist was a deep fist mark even if it hit the tree, not to mention that it was punched by Qin Jian, and the reins of the horse tied to the tree were cut off by its body flying out.
Jiang Kuo was silent for a while, and walked back with heavy steps, his horse had been ridden away by Qin Jian, Dou Tao's horse could no longer be ridden, and the other people's horses were still in the town, he could only accept the reality of Qin Jian's departure.
Jiang Kuo's steps were very slow, and his thoughts that had gone far away had not been completely withdrawn, when suddenly a miserable scream came, Jiang Kuo was suddenly startled, and his figure leaped to the edge of the forest, and another scream sounded! Jiang Kuo looked dozens of meters away, roared and shook the sky, the meridians on his forehead and temples were prominent, and his figure also rushed over.
The last black-clothed swordsman had fallen, and Dou Tao only opened his eyes to see the last glimpse of the moonlight, a yellow-clothed man with a masked face and cold eyes stood beside Dou Tao, the sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, and he was coldly looking at Jiang Kuo who was rushing towards him at this time.
