After these masked men went up the mountain, they moved in four directions. After some pursuit and interception, they actually surrounded Lu Chen and others.
However, the number of these masked men was limited. They only strengthened the front blockade and the left and right sides. However, they were very weak against the pursuit from behind, so weak that there were only two of them.
However, it doesn't matter if there are only two people. They are the weakest of the Three Flowers. The three rays of light on their heads are even dimmer than Miao Shi's, and their strength is obviously not strong enough.
This group of masked men put the two weakest ones at the back, thinking that when Lu Chen was desperate, he would definitely choose to break out to the north gate for rescue, and then be forced to fight with their main force at the front.
But they never expected that Lu Chen would not follow the routine and actually go back to the original route to fight the two weakest people behind.
Because walking back was farther away from the north gate of Dan Palace, there were fewer opportunities for rescue, and there was no way to escape the situation of being surrounded and annihilated. They really didn't know why Lu Chen would do such a stupid thing?
In fact, they had a good understanding of Wan Yan and Miao Shi's combat prowess, but they didn't know Lu Chen's strength. Otherwise, they wouldn't have put the two weakest ones behind them to pursue them, but at least they would have sent one more powerful one to hold the line back.
It was such a mistake that gave Lu Chen an opportunity to attack the weak point, causing the overall plan of these masked men to fail.
Miao Shi rushed to the front and started fighting with a masked man. As soon as they fought, he overwhelmed the opponent and was obviously much stronger than the opponent.
Another masked man knew that Miao Shi was very powerful, but instead of helping his accomplices besiege Miao Shi, he directly aimed at Lu Chen. It was obvious that Lu Chen was his target.
As for Lu Chen's body having an extra ray of light, which already reached the realm of Erhua Taiyi Immortal King, that guy didn't care at all.
In that guy's perception, everyone below the Three Flowers Gathering is an ant, so naturally he won't take Lu Chen seriously.
"Lu Chen, the descendant of Kowloon, we have been waiting for you for so many days, and finally we are waiting for you. Today is the day you die!"
The masked man laughed wildly, and the vision suddenly opened. He was holding a spear and came straight at Lu Chen.
"You alone don't know whose death date it is?"
Lu Chen sneered, opened his fighting body fully, raised the magic sword, and used the 80th sword to kill the immortal, slashing down with the long sword.
The opponent is the lowest level Three Flowers Gathering, obviously weaker than Miao Shi. The eighty-fifth sword is enough to defeat him, and there is no need to sacrifice the eighty-first sword.
Sure enough, that slash of the sword directly destroyed the opponent's gun power, shattered the opponent's protective immortal essence, and deflected the opponent's gun head.
The remaining power of the blade was still strong, and it slashed along the gun shaft until it hit the opponent's arm and cut it into two pieces.
Although the Eightieth Immortal Sword is not the strongest sword, it can defeat Miao Shi who does not use weapons. The masked man is one level lower than Miao Shi, so naturally he cannot withstand this sword.
Unfortunately, half of the power of this knife was removed by the force of the gun. It did not have enough power to kill the masked man, and only cut off an arm.
But it was enough. The masked man lost an arm, his condition declined sharply, and his combat power also dropped significantly.
"How can a mere Erhua Taiyi Immortal King have such strong sword power? It's really abnormal."
The masked man was hit hard all of a sudden. Knowing that he was no match for Lu Chen, he hurriedly turned around and ran away.
But Lu Chen couldn't let him go. The Light Control Step had already been activated. He chased after him in the blink of an eye, locked the target and struck again.
Bang!
The blade was everywhere, the immortal body was shattered, and instantly turned into a shower of blood.
"No……"
A frightened Yuan Shen escaped from the broken flesh and blood. The moment he screamed in despair, he was blown away by a finger force, and his body and soul were destroyed on the spot.
When the masked man fighting Miao Shi saw this, he was immediately frightened and used all his strength to make a feint, hoping to take the opportunity to escape from the battlefield.
But Miao Shi's combat power was higher than his, and he withstood his feint, stepped forward to hold him back from the fight, and even killed him with a sword.
That sword hit the guy's chest, the wound was deep enough to see the bone, but it failed to explode.
When you reach the level of Three Flowers Gathering, your physical body is very strong. Unless your combat power is much higher, it is not easy to kill him in a fight at the same level.
Even if Miao Shi's strength is one level higher than the opponent, even if he keeps pressing the opponent, he will only injure the opponent, and it will be more difficult to kill him.
Without a super domineering combat skill like Immortal Killing, you cannot kill the opponent with one strike, and sooner or later the opponent will escape.
But Lu Chen turned around with the knife, and Miao Shi saw through the masked man's feint, and there was no chance to escape.
That masked man couldn't even defeat Miao Shi. Now he had Lu Chen's deadly blade. How could he possibly save his life?
Bang!
A flash of sword light flashed, and the last masked man was slashed to pieces with a sword. Even the soul that escaped was wiped out by Lu Chen with one finger.
Killing the two enemies chasing from behind was equivalent to tearing a gap in the enemy's encirclement.
"Deputy Sect Leader, there are no enemies behind us. Do we want to continue to break out from behind?"
Miao Shi asked.
"Go back and get further away from the north gate. Sooner or later the enemy will catch up and you won't be able to break through the encirclement."
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "What's more, Wan Yan and the others are still in the rear. We have to go back to meet them, or we have to return to the battlefield over there."
Without Wan Yanduanhou setting fire to buy him some time, he wouldn't have been able to kill the two enemies behind him.
Moreover, after observing the strength of these enemies, he had no intention of breaking through.
The strongest enemy at the head was just an upper-class Three Flowers Master, roughly at the level of Elder Qin. Wan Yan could restrain him, so there was nothing he wouldn't dare to fight.
"Returning to the battlefield ahead, there are more than ten enemies, and all of them are in the state of Three Flowers Gathering. I'm afraid we can't defeat them with just a few of us."
Miao Shi said worriedly.
"We have Wan Yan, Fei Long, and Wan'er. Our main and auxiliary forces are all here. What are we afraid of not being able to defeat?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "The most difficult one to beat is the leader. He has some helpers who are really difficult to deal with, but if we take him out alone, we can beat him out."
"Deputy Sect Master, do you have any plans?"
Miao Shi asked.
"There is a plan, but we need to take risks, otherwise we will not be able to reverse the unfavorable situation."
Lu Chen nodded, then looked at the rising flames in front of him, and said, "The sea of fire of Wanyan is very fierce. Sanhua Juding with a lower cultivation level would not dare to step into the sea of fire, otherwise they will be seriously burned and may even be killed."
Burn to death."
"There are only a few powerful enemies who dare to cross the sea of fire. The weaker ones can only stay on the side and wait for the sea of fire to extinguish, and these people are our targets."
Miao Shi was not usually very shrewd, but he was still very quick in reacting to the direction of the battle. He understood it as soon as Lu Chen pointed it out, "Let's go behind the enemy lines. With the deputy sect leader's combat power, those weak enemies will be doomed."
