Chapter 1200: Strange Breath
"Roar!"
Just when Huan Yin was about to shout, a thunderous roar that shook the earth appeared in the sky above the entire battlefield even faster than the roar Huan Yin had prepared.
This roar was so fierce that it seemed as if the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder exploded directly on the ground. As a result, everyone on the battlefield could not help but be shaken by this roar, and they turned their heads in shock to look at the place where the sound came from.
Huan Yin naturally stopped shouting, because even he could not help but be shocked by this roar. And more importantly, he actually felt that this roar was very familiar.
Soon, everyone's eyes fell on the place where the roar came from, including Huan Yin and the other four. And the place where everyone's eyes fell was the highest point of the mountain top, which was near the base camp of Ku!
Everyone saw the figure standing at the highest point of the mountain top. It was a skeleton wearing broken armor all over his body, and this skeleton had lost his right arm.
Obviously, the terrifying roar just now was made by the skeleton standing on the high ground. And at the moment when everyone saw the skeleton clearly, the ones who reacted the fastest were Huan Yin, Hu Zi and Jiang.
"Ku, how could he still be alive?" The three people exclaimed at the same time, because they clearly saw that the skeleton standing on the high ground was the Western Eight Heavens Marshal Ku, who they thought they had just killed!
"How did he get away? How did he suddenly appear there?" Hu Zi spoke again, and he seemed to feel that his eyes were blurry.
Not to mention Hu Zi, even Huan Yin and Jiang couldn't believe what they saw. Because they couldn't figure out how Ku got away in that situation. And they had been fighting for a long time, and they had already fought far away from Ku's camp. How could Ku suddenly appear there again?
"This is impossible!" Soon, Jiang spoke again, he felt that all this was too absurd.
However, when the three of them looked down at the deepest pit and saw the broken bone arm at the bottom of the pit, they were silent.
The three of them could recognize this arm as Ku's right arm. And this arm appeared here, just in time to perfectly match Ku who was missing an arm!
It seems that no matter whether Huan Yin and the other three are willing to accept it or not, Ku, the Western Eight Heavens Marshal, has too many tricks. In the previous situation, he actually had a backup plan and could sacrifice an arm to save his life.
After Huan Yin and the other three reacted, the many soldiers on the battlefield who had already seen Ku clearly in the high place also had different expressions, and many of them were talking about Ku.
Not long after, when Huan Yin and the other three were still a little depressed, a soldier not far away suddenly exclaimed: "He ran away!"
Huan Yin and the other three immediately looked over to Ku again, and saw that Ku had turned into a residual image, running towards the west of the city. When Ku turned his head and looked back, his eyes fell on Huanyin. From his eyes, Huanyin saw resentment.
"West, he ran to the west. What you guessed is probably correct. He is going to the large flat land west of the city!" Hu Zi looked at the direction where Ku left and was anxious.
Huanyin's prediction was naturally correct. Because through the information provided by Yingjue, Huanyin knew that due to the special terrain, the west of Shanfengtian and Shandingtian is also the east of the other six cities, and there is a very flat land in the middle left. This land is open and very suitable for reorganizing the army. Whoever can get there first can wait for the enemy to tire themselves out.
After Ku could no longer hold on in Shanfengtian and Shandingtian, he could only choose to give up the two cities. But the other six cities have now been sealed by the formations arranged by Defabolo and Yingjue, and Ku can't go there. In desperation, Ku's choice is either this large flat land or the vast Xumi Mountain east of the city.
Mount Xumi has a complex terrain. If you want to hide people, it is naturally much better than the plain. But once a weak brigade that has just suffered a setback enters Mount Xumi, it is impossible to regroup and will only be killed and annihilated faster by the pursuers.
Huan Yin expected that as a great marshal, Ku would not abandon the city and escape. Therefore, he must choose to regroup on the plain.
And the most critical thing is that Yingjue has already found out that Ku has buried a formation and a large number of equipment on this plain. Obviously, this is a secret camp of Ku, and it will naturally become his last choice!
Soon, after Ku, Huan Yin saw Ku's men and horses on all sides. After fighting out of the siege at all costs, they followed Ku to fly to the west. Among them are generals, generals, and soldiers.
These people seemed to have received some orders from Ku, so now they have no intention of fighting anymore, and just want to escape with Ku. However, it is not so easy for them to run away.
When Huan Yin's men saw their opponents trying to run, they would try their best to entangle them, or even take the opportunity to kill them. Therefore, even if the generals of the other side wanted to run, they would at least be skinned first.
Therefore, let alone the number of people killed by Ku's side is far less than before. And even those who are still alive now, few can fly and escape. Moreover, even those who fly are mostly injured.
Therefore, there were some remnants of the defeated army flying up, but some of them were killed and fell to the ground after flying up.
"My lord, Ku wants to run away. He wants to go to the great plain eight days away in the west to regroup." In the distance, a figure approached rapidly. It was Devapolo who came over.
Devapolo knew Ku, so he knew that the roar from Ku standing on the high ground before was to express his intention to let all the soldiers break out of the siege and follow him to escape first.
"My lord, Ku is now at the end of his strength, so why let him go? He is seriously injured. If we chase him together, we will definitely kill him on the spot. In this way, we can surround all the defeated soldiers of the enemy here, and great things can be accomplished!" Jiang bowed to Huan Yin and said.
How could Huan Yin not understand this truth? Not to mention Huan Yin, even the soldiers now understand that if the other party wants to run, it is better to intercept him. Otherwise, the soldiers would not try their best to intercept Ku's men who wanted to run.
However, just when Huan Yin was about to give the order to pursue, the ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. Then, the ground cracked, and cracks that made people's scalps numb appeared quickly.
Earthquake?
Huan Yin and his companions had already flown into the air. When they looked down again, they immediately saw that many of the cracks on the ground had opened up to a large size, enough for a person to fall into. In the cracks in the ground, the faint green light appeared from time to time, and it also exuded an extremely depressing atmosphere.
"What's going on?" Defapolo spoke almost subconsciously. He obviously didn't understand what the change below was.
"The breath below is extremely cold, but it is completely different from the yin of hell. This is not the yin of hell, and there is no such thing in heaven. What is this?" Huan Yin spoke, and when he spoke, he looked at Jiang. Because he knew that the breath below was treacherous, and Jiang, as the former wheel king, might be able to see some clues of this breath.
Jiang said: "It is indeed not the negative energy of hell. It seems to be... resentment? But this resentment is obviously different from the resentment of suffering in hell. I clearly feel a very obvious blessing in it, but how can there be such a strange breath in this world?"
"Why bother with so much, sir, let's just chase after Ku." Defapolo quickly bowed to Huanyin and spoke.
Huanyin felt that what Defapolo said was right, so after nodding, he was ready to lead everyone to move again. But at this moment, screams broke out from below at the same time. These screams were obviously all from the soldiers on the battlefield!
