Yu Huo, Pursuit

"Kill."

Seeing the white-robed man in the courtyard, Elder Yu's eyes flashed coldly. With a command, everyone rushed towards the man.

The man in white sighed softly, expressing his regret.

"Alas, if you all had listened to me, I would not have intended to intervene."

The man casually flicked the wooden throwing knife in his left hand, and it moved like lightning through the courtyard, silent and unnoticed, with no one seeing its trajectory.

As the man stood up, more than a dozen figures in the courtyard fell to the ground simultaneously. A flying knife wound pierced through their foreheads, leaving only blood and brain matter slowly flowing out.

The expressions of the dead men still held the same murderous intent and fierce look they had when they rushed forward. Only the knife wound between their eyebrows proved everything; perhaps none of them had seen the wooden throwing knife.

No, someone saw the throwing knife. Elder Yu standing on the wall in the courtyard, a bloodstained wooden throwing knife pressed against his forehead.

Elder Yu stood on the wall, his body trembling slightly, his face filled with disbelief and a hint of fear in his eyes. He swallowed hard, pressed the throwing knife against his brow, and a trail of blood ran down his forehead, while fresh blood dripped from the tip of his nose.

He remained motionless, too afraid to move. He could sense the terror of the throwing knife; if he dared to move, he feared he would truly remain motionless forever.

As Ascension Realm elder of the Blood Lotus Sect, in this evil cult that everyone wants to kill, he had always been cautious and prudent in his actions to have survived to the Ascension Realm. The moment he saw the man in white, he knew that he Ascension Realm, and he couldn't fight him, so he had to leave.

So he shouted for everyone to help, turned around and rushed up the courtyard wall in one step—no, he rushed over the courtyard wall in one step, but the flying knife was pressed against his brow, and an irresistible force forced him back onto the courtyard wall.

The moment the throwing knife touched his brow, he knew he had guessed wrong.

At that moment, his soul seemed to be frozen. He was going to die. This wasn't the power of the Ascension Realm. He was also at the Ascension Realm, and even if it were the Peak Ascension Realm, he was confident he could withstand two moves. But this blade, killing him should also count as one move.

Aren't you coming down?

Hearing the leisurely voices behind him, Elder Yu stood on the wall, glanced longingly at the outside world, and then turned back into the courtyard.

He knew this wasn't telling him to jump out, and even if he did jump, he wouldn't be able to escape.

Turning around and seeing the corpses scattered in the courtyard, Elder Yu was not surprised at all. "It's your good fortune and an absolute honor to have made a move against this person. Even he didn't have the guts."

Looking at the man in white, Elder Yu knelt down on both knees and performed a grand salute, saying...

"This humble one, Yu Huo, pays his respects to the senior."

Yu Huo was very pragmatic and didn't care about other people's opinions. Yu Huo more than a hundred years of wandering and fighting, and countless times escaping death, he knew very well that this way he could survive, and at least increase his chances of survival by 10%.

Furthermore, the fact that this senior didn't kill him directly proves that he still had a chance.

Only by living can one have the right to consider other things.

At least this way, the chances of survival are higher than if someone said, "I am an elder of the Blood Lotus Sect, a disciple of a certain Holy Envoy."

As the white-robed man channeled his true energy into Yu Huo's body, Yu Huo could no longer sense his own true energy, but he Yu Huo a sigh of relief.

That's good! It proves that at least he's still alive for now.

Let's go!

Seeing that the person in front of him was pragmatic, Li Xunhuan turned and left. His Your Highness had said to come and see what these guys were doing. With this leader, they could go back and interrogate him, and then they would know what was going on.

With him here, this guy won't die, and he can't escape.

Yu Huo quickly stood up and followed Li Xunhuan outside. As for the group of dead people behind him, they were all dead, so there was no need to linger. Yu Huo didn't care.

On the Xuanshan Plain, Lu Bu led his army across, and the enemy defenses that tried to block their way were all swept through by the Wolf Cavalry, and the defenses were torn to shreds.

Lu Bu didn't care about the scattered soldiers; he could deal with them later. There was no need for a few stragglers. The most urgent task was dealing with the tens of thousands of troops far ahead.

Looking at the Feng army in the distance, Lu Bu's eyes were somewhat gloomy. Half of them had been lost, and the troops had been divided. The small groups of troops that were setting up defenses and blocking the way were only a few thousand men each, adding up to a maximum of ten thousand men.

The army numbered over 60,000, and even after deducting those, it still numbered over 50,000. However, the army in front numbered over 30,000, so he only led over 6,000 cavalry to advance ahead and entangle the Fengtian army. The cavalry reinforcements from behind had not yet arrived, so he could not spare any manpower.

Meanwhile, in the Great Feng ahead of Lu Bu, Qin Xiaosheng, Dong Zhenlin, and several others were leading their troops towards the Land of Cangshui when a messenger on horseback quickly approached from behind.

"Reporting to the Marshal and the Marquis, the cavalry force behind us has caught up again."

Dong Zhenlin said with a solemn expression.

"They can't escape. Even if we set up obstacles along the way, they won't get away. We must send troops to deal with that group, otherwise, if they get entangled and we wait for Dagan to arrive, we'll be in big trouble."

Qin Xiaosheng said in a deep voice.

"We can't stop. That cavalry force is no ordinary unit; they are absolutely elite. Once the main force turns back, their small force won't charge into the enemy lines. They're just trying to hold us back. Their leader is still at the Peak Ascension Realm; we can't defeat them. They're not easy to deal with."

"Back when the rear army was in turmoil, I had already sent word to Cangguan Pass that the army Cangguan Pass would also provide support. What we need to do now is to meet up with the Cangguan Pass garrison and the 20,000 troops that General Cao has dispatched at the designated location."

"Send out ten thousand troops to block them. Once they get close, divide the forces again. Slowly spread out the formation in the rear, leaving all the remaining tripwires for them. Even if that Peak Ascension Realm is strong, he can hold them off for a while."

"As long as our main force can return and the three armies reunite, the Cangshui will be safe. But if we stay here, what will happen to the Cangshui? Order the rear guard to prepare."

At this point, Qin Xiaosheng felt a pang of heartache. Apart from the 10,000 troops that had blocked their way, if another 10,000 troops were to be separated, only 40,000 troops would remain.

Dong Zhenlin interjected.

"Let Dong Yun lead the troops to stop them! He has always commanded heavy armor in the Dongyue Army and has experience dealing with cavalry."

"You Marquis of Dongyue."

Qin Xiaosheng was a little stunned. If he went to intercept and hold off Gan Army now, and Gan Army's other reinforcements arrived, then they would definitely be finished.

"Marquis of Beimu, there's no need for further words."

Seeing Dong Zhenlin's attitude, Qin Xiaosheng no longer hesitated and said, "Do as you please!"

Anyway, you have many sons, more than thirty, so one less won't make a difference.

The white-robed elder standing beside Qin Xiaosheng also spoke up.

"I'll stay too!"

Qin Xiaosheng turned to look at the old man and said.

"Second Elder, what's wrong with you too?"

The Second Elder of the Imperial Clan shook his head.

"Besides myself and Shui Ninghua, who else here can stop that guy? Don't worry! I'll be fine. After stalling him for time, I'll leave when the opportunity arises."

After speaking, the old man tossed a token to Qin Xiaosheng and instantly disappeared, leaving only a whispered message in Qin Xiaosheng's ear.

"Qin Xiaosheng, I don't care about these schemes. I will lead the army to stop them. Don't forget your promise: Cangshui cannot be lost."

Qin Xiaosheng turned to look at the Second Elder of the Imperial Clan, who was gradually disappearing into the distance. He clenched the token tightly in his hand; he had indeed used this Second Elder.

A strong person must stay behind to stop that guy, otherwise they won't be able to escape. There are only two people here who can stop Gan Army, who is at the Peak Ascension Realm, but Shui Ninghua cannot stay behind.

So that was all he could say, leaving the Second Elder, whose eyes were only on the Great Feng, to speak up and stay.
