As soon as he saw the burning arrows in the sky, Lin Xi no longer had any scruples and ran with all his strength in the wild forest at a speed faster than the horses under these Yunqin light cavalry.
The only mountains around the provincial capital had very complex terrain and could break the net. Lin Xi also knew that there were bound to be many strong men staying awake tonight, waiting for him to fall into the trap. However, the appearance of the dark priest and the man in the forest
The swordsman and the harpist have yet to catch up, and he who didn't have much confidence at first suddenly gained a little more confidence.
The light cavalry who had awakened the surrounding villages galloped to the front of the deserted forest, but were already far away from Lin Xi. They could not even hear the sound of Lin Xi walking through the forest.
However, when this group of cavalry dismounted in front of this desolate forest, they did not pursue them. Instead, they immediately dispersed in ten steps and stationed themselves calmly.
….
Lin Xi jumped over an artificially dug water diversion ditch and entered the forest at the foot of the mountain.
Suddenly, countless sounds he was most familiar with rang in his ears, including the slight buzzing of countless tightened bow strings as they came loose.
Lin Xi, whose breathing was already extremely hot, suddenly made a slight crackling sound in all the joints in his body. At the fastest speed, his whole body stuck behind a pine tree that was larger than his body.
In the mountain forest above, densely packed black arrows whizzed down, and countless branches and leaves were cut by sharp arrow tips, flying all over the forest.
“Duh!” “Duh!” “Duh!”….
There was a dull sound of countless arrows embedded in the wood.
Lin Xi tightened his body and leaned calmly behind the pine tree. The shrill wind and the soul-stirring sound of the arrows flying into the wood had no impact on him.
Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain on his back that made his scalp numb.
He took a deep breath, moved his body forward a foot away from the pine tree he was leaning against, and then slowly turned his head.
There was a shallow wound on his back, and the blood stained his back into blood spots the size of several copper coins.
There was an arrow tip with some cracked wood thorns sticking out, shining with a cold light.
Just when Lin Xi turned around to look, another arrow tip came out of it, as if the pine tree had turned into a thin door panel.
Among the many archers in the mountains and forests above, one is a practitioner...and his cultivation level is much higher than that of Lin Xi.
Lin Xi frowned, pulled out a small wooden thorn that had pierced the skin on her back, and still waited motionless.
The rain of arrows stopped for a moment, and the sound of swift footsteps sounded in the forest on his left. There were many dark shadows faintly shaking, and the unique light of metal shone.
He turned his head and looked at the forest on the right. The forest on the right was very quiet, and there was no movement.
Lin Xi suddenly moved. He put his feet on the ground, lowered his body, and rushed out like a cheetah. Instead of rushing to the forest on the right, he pounced on the left, and instantly jumped into the group of swaying animals.
in the dark shadow.
These black figures are all iron-blooded Yunqin soldiers wearing black armor and holding black swords or black spears!
These Yunqin soldiers had no idea who Lin Xi was. The order they received was to intercept the fugitive. From the strength and agility shown by Lin Xi leaping in the forest, they all knew that Lin Xi was a famous person.
Practitioners, however, these cold-as-iron soldiers stepped forward without hesitation.
In just one breath, there were two black long knives and three black spears, heading towards Lin Xi to kill and stab him.
Lin Xi swung the knife at an extremely fast speed.
His men rushed out from the two knives and three black spears without stopping. Behind him, blood flew up, knives and spears fell, and some people groaned and fell.
The official administration of Yun and Qin may not have made much progress in the past fifty years. After being destroyed by Tang Zang, Xunman, and Da Mang, the current national power may not be stronger than when it was at its peak twenty years ago. But in these fifty years,
Under the folk custom of taking pride in bravery, the soldiers of Yunqin and Qin who came through constant fighting and training became stronger and stronger, so strong that all the soldiers and practitioners of the enemy countries had no choice but to use the dangerous terrain on the border to contain them.
As the Yunqin soldiers moved forward, no regular army from the enemy country could truly enter the territory of the Yunqin Empire.
The Yunqin regular army is so powerful that they dare not start a large-scale duel in front of the open plains. The Yunqin soldiers have also been honed in the years of fighting on dangerous terrain, charging and fighting in rugged terrain, cooperating with strangulation and indifference.
The coldness and bravery of blood.
So no one retreated, only more black-armored soldiers rushed out from the forest and rushed toward Lin Xi, spreading like black tides in the forest.
There were some beads of sweat on Lin Xi's forehead, but he remained as calm as water, just running without stopping and drawing the knife quickly.
Although these iron-blooded Yunqin black-armored soldiers pouring out of the mountains and forests at this moment gave people a sense of endlessness, he knew very well that the Yunqin army that Donglin Province could mobilize was limited, and he wanted to open a gap so that he could not escape.
With a large net, the number of troops responsible for blocking this mountain forest is even more limited, and it is absolutely impossible to be infinite.
Moreover, this is a dense mountain forest, and the trees are his shields and can block the footsteps of these soldiers, so it is easier for him to deal with these swords and spears than to deal with "knives and spears" in the trial valley.
Everything outside his body was flashing with cold light, but not a single weapon could fall on him.
After taking less than fifty steps in a row, there were no iron-blooded Yunqin soldiers in front of him. All the Yunqin soldiers were left behind by him, and the black tide surging in the forest was cut into two by him.
Half.
…
On the top of a pine tree, an archer holding a red steel longbow that was almost as long as his body was silently looking at the forest below like a hawk.
The bow of the long bow in his hand is made of three different layers of steel sheets, with light green peacock feather-like runes on it.
The bowstring is black, like the deep night at this moment.
This practitioner, who was wearing tight-fitting dark green leather armor and a dark red scaly mask, was just summoned by the Ministry of Punishment. He did not know Lin Xi's identity as clearly as Gao Gongyue and others, and his eyesight could not be abnormal.
He was able to see Lin Xi's face clearly. In his eyes, Lin Xi was just a dark shadow in the forest, and his eyes were always locked on Lin Xi's dark shadow.
However, in the dozens of steps Lin Xi took to cut through the black water, he didn't find any opportunity to take action.
Because the black shadow in his eyes didn't even pause, and the black shadow didn't seem to kill anyone. The soldiers who fell injured or had their arms cut and lost their weapons struggled around him or subconsciously
When retreating, not only did it affect the interception and killing of others, but the even more chaotic scene made these soldiers his best shield.
So he could only watch helplessly as the black shadow escaped from his shooting range and fled out of his sight.
…
Lin Xi quickly climbed over a hill and heard the sound of water flowing in his ears.
He knew that the mountains and forests next to the stream would be denser and the terrain would generally be more complex.
So without any hesitation, he swept into a dense forest valley below.
After passing through a 60- to 70-foot downward slope, Lin Xi quickly saw a mountain stream several meters wide, winding down.
However, he jumped directly over the mountain stream and continued upward, moving quickly along the depths of the mountain.
Because he discovered that all the mountains growing on the opposite side of the mountain stream were tall deciduous trees, like chestnut trees, which were extremely dense, and the forest was also full of rugged rocks, making it easier to hide.
He ran for nearly two hundred meters without stopping and was already close to the mountainside of this small mountain. However, at this moment, Lin Xi's steps suddenly stopped.
In front of him, on a large rock in the forest, stood a man silently.
This big stone is as tall as a person and covered with moss. When he was at Qingluan College, Xu Shengmo liked to stand on the stone pretending to be cool and indifferent, waiting for his arrival.
At this moment, this person is a young man in his mid-twenties, wearing a dark red robe, with a short sword in a green shark skin sheath hanging on his waist. Naturally, it cannot be Xu Shengmo.
But this young man with a slightly round face had the same stern look on his face as Xu Shengmo. He looked at Lin Xi like a vulture, and Lin Xi was like his food, a dead body.
"This mountain top is under my control tonight, but I really didn't expect that with your strength, you could actually appear here and in front of me." Looking at Lin Xi who paused and tried to breathe evenly, this young man
He spoke out first and said coldly.
"Gao Gongyue also took action... Ye Wangqing also took action, and Gu Nan was also outside the house... How many powerful people came this night, and they actually made you come here, in front of me." This young man
, and let out another sigh of pleasure.
Lin Xi frowned slightly, looked at this stern young man, and asked aloud: "Who are you?"
"My name is Xue Wantao." The young man answered directly, "Inspector of the fifth rank of the Criminal Division."
"Goodbye."
Lin Xi uttered two words and flew directly into the dense forest on the left.
However, in just a few breaths, he suddenly felt a chill emanating from the skin on his back and along his entire spine. Without even looking back, he could clearly feel a sharp blade stabbing towards his body.
Lin Xi did not panic. She bowed her body and rolled forward. When she jumped up, she was already facing the sharp blade.
This sharp blade is an emerald green short sword, held in Xue Wantao's hand.
"There can be no goodbye."
In the midst of the sneer, Xue Wantao raised his body and raised his knees, and in an instant he was in front of Lin Xi. The five fingers of his left hand were grasped, grabbing Lin Xi's face. However, the dagger in his hand was pulled out from bottom to top, and cut towards Lin Xi's lower abdomen.
