"Sir, the Chen State's defeated troops have been discovered ahead. There are less than a hundred of them. Judging from their attire, they seem to be Chen State's Blood Owl Taoist soldiers!"

In the wilderness, a thin but tall, slightly hunched Jingguo Taoist soldier said to the armor-clad man in front of him with a very young face.

"Haha, okay, I, Zheng Hong, deserve this credit. I didn't expect that in this wilderness, I actually caught a prey of some weight. It is said that the Blood Owl Taoist soldier is known as the whetstone of our Jingguo Taoist army.

The number of people is already less than a hundred, and if we can meet him this time, then we will completely smash this useless whetstone!"

When the young man named Zheng Hong heard this, he immediately smiled and said.

Zheng Hong was quite pleasantly surprised at this moment. As a practitioner in the Jingguo Army, he had not joined the army for a long time, and his own strength was not high. He had just reached the realm of Heguang. Because of his strength, although he

He led some Taoist soldiers, but he was not the leader of the Taoist soldiers around him. When he defeated Feiyong before, he had no chance to perform. It was only after the city was defeated that he was assigned the task of chasing down the defeated troops.

Originally, chasing down Chen's defeated troops was not a particularly big achievement, unless he could catch or kill the Chen's cultivators who escaped, but Zheng Hong did not expect this, after all, he did not have the strength.

However, he did not expect that the target of his pursuit would be the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers of the Chen Kingdom. For such a Taoist soldier who was not very strong but was quite famous in the Jing Kingdom, Zheng Hong felt that it was completely delivered to him.

Naturally, it is impossible to let go of the credit.

Zheng Hong turned around and waved to a group of Taoist soldiers behind him who were also tall but slightly hunchbacked.

"The credit is waiting in front, everyone speed up and catch up with those Blood Owl Dao soldiers!"

Upon hearing his order, the slightly hunched Taoist soldiers behind him immediately sped up, and figures rushed forward one after another, tossing and turning in the very difficult wilderness, and could cover a distance of more than ten meters in one jump.

"The pursuers caught up so quickly!"

Xu Jin, who was continuing to escape with the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers, stood on a higher ground. He turned around and saw those figures moving quickly in the wilderness a few miles away. He immediately realized that the enemy had caught up.

.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Xu Jin's heart sank at this moment, knowing that he could no longer get rid of the people behind him, and they would soon be overtaken by the people behind them.

According to previous investigations, the Taoist soldiers from Jingguo in the rear were not only more numerous than them, but were also led by a practitioner. Without knowing the opponent's strength, Xu Jin really didn't have much confidence in his heart.

However, Xu Jin did not completely despair. After all, a practitioner who led Taoist soldiers to chase down their defeated troops should not be particularly strong, at least not as strong as the two strong men who fought above Feiyong City before.

degree.

And if the opponent's strength is not particularly strong, Xu Jin feels that his side may not be incapable of fighting. After all, in his hands, there are several artillery crossbows that he had put into storage bags from the top of the city. This is definitely

A big killer.

Thinking of this, Xu Jin immediately stopped and spoke quickly.

"Everyone, stop. The enemy has caught up. We can't outrun each other. Now prepare to meet the enemy. Wang An, you lead people to set up artillery and crossbows around. Follow my orders during the first attack. If the opponent becomes more difficult to deal with later,

, then just act according to circumstances!"

While talking, Xu Jin took out several crossbows and crossbow arrows from the storage bag and handed them to Wang An who was standing aside.

Xu Jin collected a total of four artillery crossbows, three of which were intact, and the mechanism at the bottom of one was damaged. When Xu Jin was on the top of the city, he wanted to use it as a longbow, but

However, they were suppressed by Jingguo's Taoist soldiers and had no chance to attack.

After handing over the three intact artillery crossbows to Wang An, Xu Jin himself took the one with the damaged bottom of the artillery crossbow, chose a suitable position in the surroundings, and stared closely at the approaching Jingguo Tao soldiers.

Now there were only a dozen Blood Owl Taoist soldiers with no injuries around Xu Jin. The other Blood Owl Taoist soldiers followed Wang An to control the cannons and crossbows.

Seeing that the chasing Jingguo Taoist soldiers were only about three miles away from him, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers around Xu Jin all drew their bows and set arrows.

Xu Jin raised a hand and blessed the dozen Taoist soldiers around him with the Overcoming Evil Technique. As the blood-colored light lit up and then quickly extinguished, the mana in Xu Jin's body circulated. He held a crossbow arrow in his right hand and pulled it away.

He picked up the bowstring of the crossbow in his hand.

The bow string in his hand was pulled open, and Xu Jin suddenly discovered that after the mechanism below was damaged, he tried his best, but could not pull the crossbow bow string to the extreme. After all, the crossbow's crossbow body was relatively long, and it was used as a longbow.

If used, the range that can be expanded will be larger.

Xu Jin couldn't care less about this at the moment. His eyes had already caught sight of the practitioner who was wearing armor and looked obviously different from the Taoist soldiers among the group of Taoist soldiers that Jingguo was chasing.

The crossbow arrow held in his right hand instantly emitted a red light, and Xu Jin let go of it without hesitation.

"Bang!"

The explosion of the bowstring sounded, and the crossbow arrow was shot from Xu Jin's hand, with a sound of breaking through the air, and quickly flew towards the Jingguo practitioner.

Seeing that Zheng Hong had caught up with the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers in front, he had already thought about how to easily eliminate the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers and make meritorious deeds, but a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, and then he saw

A bloody ray of light flew toward him like lightning.

"Crossbow!"

Although the crossbow arrows exuded a layer of blood-colored light, in just a moment, Zheng Hong recognized what was flying, and his expression suddenly changed.

Zheng Hong's body suddenly lit up with a milky white light, and he quickly dodged to one side. The moment he dodged, the crossbow arrow emitting red light had already landed at the location where he was standing just now.

"boom!"

There was a roar, and the place where Zheng Hong was standing was enveloped in flames. The two Jingguo Tao soldiers who were relatively close to him were affected by the power of the crossbow arrows, and their bodies were instantly thrown aside.

"It's so dangerous, these blood owl Taoist soldiers actually have cannons and crossbows in their hands!"

Zheng Hong dodged an attack very dangerously, and Zheng Hong was still a little frightened. The contempt he had for the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers just now no longer existed in his heart.

"It actually missed!"

Compared with Zheng Hong's lingering fear at this moment, Xu Jin was a little surprised at the opponent's quick reaction. Xu Jin originally wanted to shoot the arrow himself, which might not be able to solve the most troublesome enemy, but at least he could injure the opponent.

In this way, with the blood owl Taoist soldiers having artillery and crossbows in hand, there should be no problem in dealing with Jingguo Tao soldiers. Unfortunately, the result of his own arrow did not fulfill his wish.

Thoughts flashed through his mind instantly, but the movements of Xu Jin's hands did not slow down at all. Taking advantage of the distance between him and the enemy, Xu Jin did not hesitate to mount another crossbow arrow and quickly drew the bow string.

Xu Jin felt that the bowstring was not fully drawn for the arrow he just shot, so this time, Xu Jin raised one foot and pressed it against the crossbow. He leaned back slightly and fully drew the crossbow.

The arrow in his hand emitted red light again. The moment Xu Jin let go, the crossbow arrow flew out and the crossbow in his hand was also bounced aside.

The arrows from the crossbow flew again, this time faster than the arrow just now. Fortunately, Zheng Hong was prepared this time. The moment he saw the red light, his figure quickly appeared.

The surroundings moved, and as he moved, he actually left a string of afterimages behind him.

The crossbow arrow, which glowed red, penetrated an afterimage of Zheng Hong, and then hit a Taoist soldier of Jingguo, instantly smashing the opponent and the body of another Taoist soldier beside him.

At this moment, the distance between those Jingguo Taoist soldiers and Xu Jin was less than one mile. The two arrows Xu Jin had just shot in succession had already let him know that it was difficult for the crossbow to hit the Jingguo practitioner easily. Xu Jin now also

Don't expect to get rid of the other party first.

"First kill those Jingguo Tao soldiers and shoot arrows!"

Xu Jin shouted, issued orders to Wang An and others, and at the same time drew out the short knife from behind.

As he finished speaking, three explosions sounded from behind, and at the same time, the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers beside him also loosened the bowstring of the long bow in their hands.

The Jingguo Taoist soldiers who rushed over saw this scene and hurriedly ran away. At the same time, a layer of scales quickly appeared on the bodies of those Jingguo Taoist soldiers, trying to block the attack of the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers.

Following several roars, the bodies of several Jingguo Taoist soldiers who were hit by crossbow arrows were directly blown into pieces. The scales on their bodies failed to save their lives, but the arrows shot by the Blood Owl Taoist soldiers beside Xu Jin

The arrow was blocked to a certain extent by the scales on the bodies of those Jingguo Tao soldiers. The arrow was inserted into the opponent's body. Although it caused a certain amount of damage to the opponent, the opponent was still able to move.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jin pushed his feet hard and rushed directly towards the Taoist soldiers. The bloody light on the dagger in his hand lit up, and the distance between them shrank to a few meters in the blink of an eye.

The moment he approached a Jingguo Taoist soldier, the short knife in Xu Jin's hand struck directly at the opponent's head. The Jingguo Taoist soldier also raised a spear-like weapon in his hand and stabbed Xu Jing. Xu Jin's attack

, with no intention of avoiding it at all.

The opponent may have chosen to attack Xu Jin like this because he felt that Xu Jin's short sword could not cut through the scales on his body, and because his own strength and flexibility were not weak.

But what this Jingguo Taoist soldier didn't expect was that Xu Jin easily dodged his attack. The short knife in his hand was raised and raised, and he slashed at his body from the side.

It wasn't until the blood-red blade fell, and the sharp blade easily cut through the scales on his body, that the Jingguo Taoist soldier showed panic in his eyes, but by this time it was too late, his life had already been taken away by Xu Jin's blade
