Xu Tong walked back about fifty meters with his waist bent. He was also covered with camouflage plants and trees, and there were not many camouflage items. This could ensure that he would not be caught by the vegetation when performing high-intensity exercises, and the camouflage items would not become
The burden of action. He first spread the dead branches on his left hand evenly on the road along the direction of travel, covered it with loose soil and fallen leaves, and then selected a hard soil ground beside the road. The vegetation was soft and green, and the dense grass in the backlight slowly
Slowly bend down. Moving in the hard grass and withered grass will make a swishing sound. The greener and tender grass will make a smaller sound when it is moved. Soft-soled shoes on wet hard mud will make almost no sound when stepped on.
Sound is essential for concealment.
Not long after he laid down, the pursuers arrived as promised. They walked very carefully and tried not to touch suspicious fallen leaves and pebbles. However, when they passed the dead branch area, a dead branch was "snapped".
Wei Mingchen didn't take it seriously. There were many dead branches accumulated over the years in the mountains and forests. Even hunters could not avoid stepping on dead branches and gravel and scare away their prey.
The footprints disappeared. Wei Mingchen crouched down and carefully searched for clues. The target moved very slowly. If the traces were eliminated, the time for them to be caught up would only be shorter. In this case, they must have some intention in doing so.
, maybe hiding or ambushing, he opened his mouth and said: "Search the area around here to see if there is..."
Just as he was talking, the other swordsmen passed by Wei Mingchen and continued to move forward. They inevitably stepped on a dead branch again. Wei Mingchen immediately noticed the abnormality. There was only one possibility for stepping on dead branches so frequently in a short period of time. Early warning, when
Just when he was about to remind him loudly, a scream of "Ah" came from behind him.
Xu Tong maintained an absolutely still posture. His eyes could barely see through the grass and the wild road ahead. The vision was not good and very blurry. He remained silent. When he heard the first sound of dead branches breaking, Xu Tong was sure.
When several shadows passed by him in the direction of the enemy's leader, he finally determined the number of pursuers. They were eight people, in groups of two, with a distance of about one and a half meters.
Xu Tong slightly arched his body, resting on his hands and feet, holding a short knife in his mouth, like a spring compressed to the limit to accumulate energy. His eyes were fixed on the blurry figures in the team. When the second sound of dead branches shattering
Ringing, he finally saw the last enemy.
The moment the last person turned his face to the other side, Xu Tong suddenly ejected without any hesitation. The opponent was unprepared. Xu Tong made two fierce stabs to the left ribs in succession and then immediately escaped with one blow. He rushed forward almost instantly.
After walking two or three meters, he did not look back, nor did he care about the life or death of the person being stabbed. He only knew that as long as he was stabbed, a threat would be eliminated. Several short arrows shot by hand crossbows flew past him, such a poor hand
The crossbow can only pose a threat to unarmored targets at close range, and it will be inaccurate if it is farther away, but the few meters that Xu Tong ran away gained this glimmer of hope.
Xu Tong crouched down, clutching the short spear made of tree trunks and running in the expected direction. There was a tree stump half a man tall with the last bamboo tube tied to it. The seal at the bottom of the bamboo tube had already been cut open, revealing a piece of thread.
When Xu Tong passed by, he yanked the rope with his left hand, and the bamboo tube spurted out a stream of white smoke. A red flare rose into the sky, and when it reached the highest point, it opened a small parachute.
Falling downwards, Xu Tong glanced at the signal flare behind him in his busy schedule. Since it was to lure the enemy, there was no need to continue hiding it, hoping that someone would see it.
After setting off the flare, Xu Tong changed direction and started running with all his strength. The non-stop fighting made him feel that his physical strength was seriously declining, which affected his speed. He constantly adjusted his breathing, inhaling through his nose and exhaling through his mouth.
, trying to stimulate his remaining potential and stabilize his emotions.
Noisy roars and exclamations sounded behind Xu Tong, but these people were obviously more ferocious than the Taoist gangsters. They were neither frightened by the sudden attack nor went to rescue their fallen companions, but were divided into three groups.
To intercept Xu Tong, the two duos looked for routes from both sides and forced Xu Tong to change his route. The trio behind them quickly approached in a straight line.
Under the pressure from both sides, Xu Tong had to frequently change the direction of his running, which caused his speed to continue to decrease. He kept breathing violently. The sounds behind him were getting closer and closer. He quickly glanced around and saw the other two groups.
Although their position and escape route were sealed, the topography of the jungle also limited their movement range, making the distance between them and themselves not shorter, but further away. Xu Tong took a deep breath, and he decided to give it a try.
He changed the direction of his running and suddenly turned around and rushed towards the trio chasing after him. The pursuers subconsciously believed that the fugitives within sight would give up resistance and be as vulnerable as a mouse when they were at an absolute disadvantage.
He kept running away from behind. The pursuers were surrounded, and Xu Tong showed an obvious decrease in physical strength. All this allowed the pursuers to establish a strong mentality of subconsciously relaxing their guard. They only needed to catch up and start from behind.
One knife will solve everything. Xu Tong wants to catch their psychological prediction, catch them by surprise, break their psychological advantage, and suppress them in terms of momentum.
The three chasing men did not expect that Xu Tong would have the courage to charge back. Xu Tong was shocked when he was suddenly hit head-on. The rapid running caused them not to form a horizontal line of three people in the same row, but to form a single line. Starting from the beginning
The knife hand held up the Qi family knife, slid forward with his right foot, followed with his left foot, twisted his hands inward, tightened his abdomen, raised his arms, and quickly stabbed Xu Tong's throat. Xu Tong quickly adjusted his posture, stepped forward with his left foot,
Holding the front end of the short spear with his left hand, he sent it forward with his right hand, stabbing the opponent's chest straight. The moment the knife and spear intersected, Xu Tong made a small deflection of the short spear to the left, deflected the direction of the Qi family knife, and seized the center line.
A spear pierced the swordsman's left chest. The flash cap on the boss inside the booby trap was fired under the pressure of the full thrust. This was equivalent to a close-range shot from a large-caliber rifle. The bamboo tube and the front end of the tree trunk exploded at the same time.
Countless fragments were sprayed in all directions. The 11mm lead bullet directly tore the chest of the swordsman, forming a cavity in the human body. The lead bullet rolled, deformed, and shattered in the human body, destroying the internal organs. The main body of the lead bullet was again
It broke out from behind, changed its trajectory, and flew past the second swordsman's cheek.
Gu Jie
The first swordsman was knocked down at the first glance. The two swordsmen behind him were startled by the explosion and ricochet, and they all took a step back. Xu Tong's face was scratched by flying bamboo fibers, but he was unconscious.
Putting aside the tree trunk with its front end blown off and still smoking white, he picked up the Qi family sword that the first swordsman had dropped, and strode forward, holding the sword in both hands, towards the second swordsman holding the Japanese sword.
Xu Tong and the second swordsman raised their swords above their heads with both hands almost at the same time, and each took a step forward with their right foot. With the same starting hand and the same sword posture, both of them used their hands to twist the blade inwards, and the blade drew a line above their heads.
Drawing an arc, he moved to the right side of his head, and used both hands to draw out the knife. Two sharp knife lights flashed past under the last ray of light in the dusk, and at the same time, they moved from right to left towards the left side of the enemy in a pattern.
Slash down at a forty-five degree angle.
The two steel knives clanged and clenched in the air, making a heart-wrenching "squeak" sound unique to metal friction. After a moment of stalemate, the heads of the two steel knives broke at the same time. Brutal chopping.
, the sword was drawn out neatly, and the light of the sword brought up a rain of blood all over the sky. The two people bathed in the red blood mist instantly passed each other. The rotating broken sword flew out in the opposite direction, and the tip of the sword snatched it.
One was nailed to the tree trunk next to it, and the other was nailed to the soil on the side.
The knife hand stood with its back facing Xu Tong, the hand holding the knife slowly lowered, and fell to his knees with a general sound. There was a sloping, deep incision on his body from the left side of the neck to the thoracic vertebrae, and the arteries and clavicle were all cut off with one knife.
Blood spurted out, he opened his mouth, spat out a mouthful of blood foam, and fell forward into the dust.
Xu Tong slowly retracted the knife rest, holding the bloody broken knife and looking coldly at the third swordsman. The swordsman was completely shocked by Xu Tong's two consecutive near-fatal instant kills. He stepped back step by step, as if looking at a
Devil, finally he couldn't bear the tremendous pressure and ran away.
Xu Tong breathed a sigh of relief. Only he knew that the series of fierce fights and escapes since noon had exhausted all his strength. His hands could not help but tremble slightly, and he could hardly hold the knife in his hand.
Run, run quickly, this short window of time will be offset by the overwhelming number of enemies at any time. It is difficult for a good man to defeat four people, let alone the seven or eight people he has to deal with!
Xu Tong dragged his exhausted body and ran hard in the direction he came from. He didn't know how long he had been running. He was too tired. His eyes were blurred by sweat. He just wanted to close his eyes and fall down, falling asleep.
But his will was still strong enough to keep his eyes open.
Finally, his body reached its limit, and it was difficult to support even with perseverance. He even felt that he was starting to lose his mind. Xu Tong gradually stopped and couldn't run anymore. I really couldn't run anymore. Is this all there? Xu Tong threw it away.
Broken Knife, leaned his back on a big tree, slid his back along the trunk a little bit, and sat on the root of the tree. He pulled out the dagger with his sore arms and held it tightly in his hand.
After a while, through his eyes blurred by sweat, he saw several figures. One of them grabbed the escaping swordsman and reprimanded him loudly. He seemed to be the leader. Then five vague figures each held a weapon and slowly moved toward him.
As he approached, Xu Tong grinned. These people were good. They were not intimidated by successive blows. It probably took a long time to build up such strong courage.
The enemy stopped less than ten meters away from him and seemed very alert. They took out their hand crossbows and fired several arrows at him. One arrow scratched Xu Tong's left shoulder, but he was unconscious.
