Chapter 1385 You Are Too Slow
If the fugitives have other options, they will not go to a dead end.
Weng Su also made up his mind. Anyway, he also brought a hook. At worst, he could just jump off the cliff to escape.
Falling into Xue Zongwu's hands would definitely mean death, but if he jumped off the cliff well, he might be able to save his life. In this way, isn't jumping off the cliff a good deal?
Their turn was beyond Xue Zongwu's expectation.
There seemed to be room for escape in other directions, so why did these two suddenly turn to the north?
Xue Zongwu couldn't help but curse.
He just passed down a few orders and arranged people in three directions. Especially his own people would rush from the west and south. If these two men in black went over, they would not be defeated and captured immediately, but at least they could slow down their speed. Once Xue Zongwu caught up with them, they would have no choice but to die.
Because there was no time to arrange, there was no one in the north of the farthest villa.
Did these two guys go to the north because they were desperate, or did they think it over carefully beforehand?
Xue Zongwu stood there and hesitated.
Xiaotao Villa was not small in size. His 170 elite soldiers were all in the south. He could join them as long as he went south, but the two men in black would escape. If he continued to chase the enemy to the north, he would be going against the main force, and he had less than ten people around him.
Chase or not?
The two men in front were already desperate, and he would not be able to solve his doubts if he didn't chase them.
But he remembered his impulse a few days ago.
Someone was secretly plotting against him, and there was a disaster coming.
His spiritual perception was rarely wrong, but there was also a problem, that is, he could not estimate the time.
Even if there was a disaster, when would it come?
He had been a powerful figure for more than ten years, and had countless elite soldiers under his command. He couldn't just shrink back because of a "feeling"?
Besides, even if a disaster was coming, it would not happen to the two men in black in front, right?
He knew very well that even without counting the power of his personal guards, these two people were not his opponents.
So many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xue Zongwu made a decision in just two breaths:
Chase, keep chasing!
He led seven or eight followers and the guards of the villa and turned to the north.
Xiaotao Villa is located on a small hill, so the higher the terrain is, the denser the forest is, and it is pitch black without even a light.
It rained again tonight, and it was pitch black everywhere. Whether it was the Weng brothers or Xue Zongwu looking up to the north, they felt that the dark hill was like a huge monster lying on the ground, and they rushed into the monster's open mouth.
The Weng brothers even climbed up the roof from the pillars to avoid being surrounded on the ground. Because of the high terrain and good scenery in the north of the villa, a viewing hall and several large and small viewing platforms and pavilions were built, often connected by corridors and bluestone roads.
The brothers occasionally looked back and saw that the torches at the foot of the mountain were almost connected, and they all gathered quickly to the north.
That was Xue Zongwu and the guards of Xiaotao Villa.
Weng Xing was surprised: "Fortunately we went north!"
Looking down from a high place, he saw that there were indeed pursuers in the east, west and south. It was indeed the wisest choice for them to escape to the north - at least for now.
If they went south, they would run into pursuers before they could even join the group of guests. At that time, they would be like fish caught in a net, and it would be futile to run left and right.
"Go quickly, don't look back." Weng Su's heartstrings were tense. The situation at the foot of the mountain was not good, and the escape routes on the other three sides were blocked. They could only escape from the north cliff.
And they had to escape as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when Xue Zongwu joined his army, the Weng brothers would have difficulty escaping.
"Pay attention to the sky."
"The sky?" Weng Xing looked up at the night sky after his brother reminded him.
The sky was pitch black, and he looked for a long time before he found a faint blue figure hovering in the air.
It was a bird.
"There is a spy named Xue in the sky, and it has been following us."
This made it even more difficult for the two to escape.
Originally, Xue Zongwu had the bonus of Yuanli, so he ran faster than them, and the distance between the two sides was getting shorter and shorter.
If this continued, Weng Su was worried that he would be caught up by the other party before he escaped to the cliff.
Xue Zongwu was very strong, and with the blessing of Yuanli, this fight was simply impossible to fight.
"Go!" In a blink of an eye, the Weng brothers jumped from the top of the pavilion to the roof of the viewing hall. Weng Xing raised his hand and shot an arrow, rushing towards the bird monster.
The blue bird was extremely agile and flapped its wings to avoid it.
Why did these two people climb higher and higher? Xue Zongwu frowned and told his men: "Prepare the crossbows and spears, they are going to jump off the cliff to escape!"
He reacted very quickly and guessed that the two guys might plan to jump off the cliff to get away, so they probably had escape tools.
Jumping off the cliff is a good idea. As long as the fugitives are not dead, the subsequent pursuit will be very difficult.
He turned around again and ordered the deputy general beside him: "Youlin, don't let them run away."
Those who can be kept by his side at all times are naturally experienced and loyal masters.
"Yes." Youlin whistled a sharp and short whistle, like the cry of some birds.
The blue bird demon that had been hovering above the Weng brothers heard the sound, retracted its wings, and dived towards them.
Those running on the ground are not as fast as those flying in the sky.
Seeing that the bird demon would land in front of the Weng brothers first, Youlin muttered something and shouted in a low voice: "Yi!"
A faint blue light appeared on him and the bird demon at the same time.
The next second, Youlin disappeared from the spot, replaced by a blue robin.
Thirty feet away, the Weng brothers were running wildly, but they saw a faint light flashing in front of them, and a living person suddenly appeared!
This is the demon beast talent shared by Youlin and the blue robin, "The Stars Move".
In simple terms, the two sides can exchange positions within a range of fifty feet.
For the human body, the innate magical power of this spirit pet consumes a lot of energy and can only be used once every fifteen or sixteen hours.
The robin was originally diving towards the roof. After Youlin took over, he accelerated his descent with his feet and hit the roof with a bang.
Fortunately, the wood of the building was strong and the structure was reasonable, so it did not collapse.
This magical power is called "Starfall".
The shock wave caused by the shock was pushed in all directions, especially in the direction facing the Weng brothers.
The two of them were the first to bear the brunt, and they couldn't dodge. They only felt a violent gale carrying a large number of tiles rushing towards them, pushing them back.
They were also going to be blown away, just like Weng Xing bombing others before.
Fortunately, these two people were particularly experienced in being bombed, and they suddenly sank into their dantian and fell forward.
The gale rushed over them, but didn't knock them away. However, the two of them still felt the power of the shock wave. It was as if they were hit hard in the chest and abdomen. The pain made them black before they could see and they were several beats behind to get up.
How could they afford such delay when escaping for their lives?
You Lin landed, raised his hand and threw two flying knives, and then he rushed forward.
He and Xue Zongwu walked towards each other, and Xue Zongwu rushed faster than him. The Weng brothers were about to be attacked from both sides.
You Lin's mission was just to hold the Weng brothers back.
Just hold them back.
At the critical moment, a long trumpet suddenly sounded from somewhere.
The sound was like the howling of hundreds of ghosts, full of sharp and sad panic, which made people feel numb.
The most terrifying thing was that it seemed to explode in the ears of everyone at the scene, shocking everyone.
Even Xue Zongwu couldn't help but pause when he heard it.
A huge rock suddenly flew out of the dark forest, whistling in the wind, and hit You Lin accurately.
This was the first time You Lin had seen such a big hidden weapon. But he reacted quickly, exerted force on his waist, and stopped his steps abruptly to avoid the surprise attack.
There are people in the forest!
Is it an accomplice of the two men in black?
Before he finished thinking about this, a black shadow suddenly appeared from behind the boulder and pounced on him like a ghost!
The distance was short, and the speed was incomparable.
This was unexpected. In Yu Lin's vision, there was only a hideous mask that was rapidly enlarged.
He wanted to swing the knife, but his wrist was grabbed by someone when the knife was only half raised.
The sudden appearance of the enemy was so powerful that Yu Lin felt like he was caught in a vice and couldn't move at all. Then his throat felt cold and painful, and he knew nothing.
The Weng brothers just turned around and saw a ball of blood bursting out of Yu Lin's throat, gorgeous and sad. The long knife pierced through his neck, and the blood-stained blade flashed with a ray of cold light.
So fast, so cruel, so neat!
The Xue family elites on the opposite side saw this scene, and their scalps were numb.
Damn it, if I were You Lin, I would not be able to escape either.
Xue Zongwu stopped:
The one who killed You Lin with one move was actually another masked man in black!
No, this man wore a dragon head mask, and his armor was very black, as if even the light was sucked in by it.
There was black smoke around him - looking closely, the black smoke was all wailing ghosts, with different facial makeup, but they were all imprisoned around him, unable to transcend.
This man leaned on a long sword with one hand, as if standing in a hall, looking down at all living beings.
Even Xue Zongwu's general spirit seemed to be surpassed by him.
Weng Xing was injured, and blood and sweat kept flowing into his eyes, causing unclear vision. He thought he was seeing things, but after rubbing his eyes twice, the black-armored man was still there, still looking so mighty. He also heard his brother mutter: "No way?!"
Could this be, could this be...
There would be no such coincidence in the world, right? Compared with the other party, the two of them looked like actors performing in a village opera.
But if that was the case, why would this person appear here?
The two of them had a tacit understanding and suddenly separated to go around the black-armored man on both sides. It was unclear whether this new person was a friend or foe, and they were actively running for their lives, so they had no time to test him.
It was the safest to flee separately.
As a result, the black-armored man did not move at all, allowing them to rush past him easily, as if this was really just a set of armor.
A voice sounded in their ears: "You are too slow."
The two brothers were startled and stopped and looked back.
It was him! The one who just sent a message to the brothers to go north should be this person. Weng Su smiled bitterly: "We have done it as soon as possible."
He and his brothers and Xue Zongwu were running and chasing, trying their best, but the man in front of them was at ease.
As soon as they left, Xue Zongwu arrived.
The black-armored man on the roof swung his sword, a drop of blood splashed in the air, and You Lin's body was thrown in front of Xue Zongwu, smashing several tiles with a bang.
