What now? These NPCs' horses were fast as lightning!
"Maple Leaf Colt, put some effort into it!"
The Maple Leaf Colt snorted.
But this brought things back around to "stats."
The panel said its full-speed running stat was 120.
That meant the Maple Leaf Colt could only run that fast! In truth, the four horses behind them were not much better than the Maple Leaf Colt. They were all first-tier elite mounts.
But the key was that among the four assassins pursuing them on horseback, one happened to have the Wind Attribute! That Wind Attribute assassin's control over Dou Qi was clearly extremely refined. He used a small amount of Dou Qi to create wind, generating thrust to accelerate his mount.
Naturally, the distance between them kept shrinking.
Yang Shan felt like his head was about to split in two!
Ever since the server opened, Yang One-Blade had always remained far ahead in his development.
Who would have thought he would get carried away this time and nearly capsize his own boat!
But a Battle Through the Heavens veteran with three years of gaming experience would never give up over such a minor obstacle! The enemy was powerful, but there was always a way.
After all, when Yang Shan played games in his previous life, he had not clawed his way into the first rank through brute force alone!
Yang Shan was never careless. Before making his escape, he had already fired a signal flare.
The Cloud Frost Branch should have received the news by now.
But dispatching manpower would take some time.
What Yang Shan needed to do was avoid going off course and make sure he kept fleeing toward Cloud Frost City.
That way, he could join up with the Cloud Frost Branch's people as quickly as possible.
