In the distance, behind Ling Jian and the rest, there were seven to eight people advancing in a fan-shaped formation. Although their speed was also very fast, compared to the astonishing speed of Ling Jian and the rest, these people could only be considered as tortoises crawling.
However, their work was even more important.
They were carefully searching for a path that could allow the army, horses, and resources to pass through together. On this mountain road, there were cliffs everywhere, and there was snow that was almost half a person's height. The sky was covered in snow, severely obstructing their line of sight and reducing their visibility. This job was undoubtedly very dangerous, and the responsibility was also abnormally heavy! Because, the slightest negligence could cause hundreds and thousands of people to fall into the abyss …
Each of them had a long rope in their hands, and from time to time, they would use the rope to reel in their comrades who had fallen into the wrong direction …
The leader of these seven to eight people was Ling Chi. He could be seen sighing from time to time, and occasionally raising his head to look at the direction where the faint sounds of killing could be heard, while lamenting his own bad luck. Actually, this was his misconception. It was really strange that he could hear from tens of li away! At such a distance, even if Ling Tian was here, he might not be able to hear it.
He completely relied on the feeling of his feet to explore the path ahead. Even someone as skilled as Ling Chi did not dare to be careless. After a few days of heavy snow, the entire forest and ravines had been flattened, and he could no longer see where the path was. If he was not careful, he would be smashed to pieces.
It was his duty, and he couldn't be like his brothers in front of him, directly executing his movement technique without leaving a single trace in the snow … Just as he was thinking about it, the ground beneath his feet suddenly became empty. Ling Chi cried out as he felt his body plummet downwards.
"Sou!" A long rope flew over and wrapped around Ling Chi's waist. Using the strength of the rope, Ling Chi was finally able to fly up. Looking at the place where he had fallen, he waved his sword, and the snow within a four to five zhang radius was suddenly cleared, revealing a deep crack. Even someone as calm as Ling Chi could not help but feel a sense of fear. Solemnly marking the path, the few of them began to move forward again.
A hundred zhang behind them, a large army was following the path they had opened, trudging through the snow with great difficulty, rushing to their rescue.
…
Battle cries shook the heavens as the Yu Family launched yet another attack, pouncing forward ferociously.
At this time, the sky was starting to brighten.
Ling Feng and Ling Yun stood on high ground, their bodies covered in blood. In front and behind them, there were more than ten Tamago experts dressed in ordinary soldier's clothes. They were crazily besieging the two of them!
In the past few days of attack and defense, the Yu Family had already found out that it was these two youths who would appear out of nowhere and kill countless Yu Family soldiers who would die in the hands of these two murderous stars! The cruelty and viciousness of these two youths made all the Tamago soldiers feel a chill in their hearts. The long and narrow swords in their hands were like the blades of the Grim Reaper. Every time they swung their swords, someone would fall!
If they did not deal with these two people first, they would probably cause a huge loss to Tamago's army! Therefore, the target of this attack was these two people! As for Tamago's experts, they had also mobilized twenty people. Twenty Xiantian experts, specifically to deal with these two youths!
Feng Mo roared, desperately gathering his men to charge towards Ling Feng and Ling Yun. He had already seen through the enemy's deployment. Even if he had to risk his own life, he would save Ling Feng and Ling Yun.
However, the densely packed enemy forces in front of him were even more desperate. They would rather give up on attacking the mountain pass in order to stop Feng Mo from saving Ling Feng and Ling Yun. Among these people, there were more than ten White Jade experts from Tamago. Both sides were fighting with their lives on the line. In an instant, the battle became even more intense and bloody than before!
Everything in front of Ling Feng gradually blurred. Ling Feng knew that this was because he had lost too much blood and his internal energy was severely depleted. Ling Yun, who was beside him, was also starting to falter. It seemed that he was not much stronger than himself. However, the two of them still had a calm expression on their faces. They resolutely stabbed out with their swords. For every piece of flesh and blood that flew from their bodies, an enemy's life would be sacrificed!
Far away on the mountain slope, a few people stared intently at the intense battle. Their expressions were constantly changing. Ling Feng and Ling Yun's tenacity and difficulty to deal with had indeed exceeded everyone's expectations. Based on their injuries, if it were an ordinary person, or even a White Jade expert from Tamago, they would have long fallen unconscious or even died long ago! However, these two youths were still as lively as ever, without the slightest hint of exhaustion!
If it were an ordinary expert in the martial arts world, in such a desperate situation, they would have long lost the courage to live. However, the expressions on these two youths' faces were still as aloof as ever, as if they were the true masters of life and death!
Of the twenty White Jade experts who had surrounded them, and they were led by a Golden Jade expert, more than half of them had already died! This was the result of the battle!
Yes, death!
There was only death, only death!
These two youths did not leave a single survivor! With a single strike, it was a sure-kill, a sure-kill!
But even so, there was a limit to human strength. At this point in the battle, there was no longer any way to reverse the situation. A ferocious tiger, even if it was the king of beasts, could still devour one or ten wolves when it was at its limit, but it would still find it difficult to fight against a hundred or a thousand wolves!
The battle on the mountain slope was getting more and more intense, and Ling Feng and Ling Yun's situation was even more precarious. Their lives were in danger at every turn. Feng Mo, who was blocked by the human wall on the other side, roared towards the sky. He was so angry that his eyes were about to bleed, but there was nothing he could do.
On Tamago's side, on the mountain slope far away, a middle-aged man with a square face had a cold look in his eyes. He ordered coldly, "The North Army's reserve force of thirty thousand people, attack! Full force! Break through the mountain pass in one fell swoop! Kill all the remaining soldiers here, don't take any prisoners, don't leave a single one alive, kill without mercy! " Behind him, a black flag suddenly fluttered in the air, waving a few times with a rustling sound.
In the military camp at the foot of the mountain, the dull sound of war drums shook the hearts of the people. Following a heaven-shaking shout, the crowd rushed up like a tide. Thousands of warhorses let loose their hooves at the same time, kicking up pieces of snow. Their momentum was like rolling thunder as they pressed forward.
Feng Mo's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets as he roared, "Brothers, let's go all out!"
"Let's go all out!" Amidst the angry roars, countless Divine Prefecture Empire soldiers rushed out from their bunkers. Most of them had wounds all over their bodies, some had their arms in a sling, some had their legs broken, and their bodies were covered in blood. Those who could still stand had raised their weapons, and they filled the mountain pass in a dense crowd.
This was the final moment! Facing an enemy that was several times stronger than him, since there was no hope of survival, he might as well fight to his heart's content. If he killed one, he would recover his losses, and if he killed more, he would gain interest!
"These two youths must be from the First Pavilion! They might even be important figures in the First Pavilion! " Among the Tamago soldiers, the square-faced middle-aged man who had given the order earlier sighed as he looked at the two fighting Ling Feng and Yun Yun. "In these few days, the number of our soldiers that have died under the hands of these two is close to 2,000! On average, each of them has killed 1,000 of our soldiers! And among these people, not a single one is injured, all of them are dead! Moreover, the wounds were either on the throat, chest, or other vital points. One strike to kill, one strike to kill. None of the victims had the time to even open their mouths and let out a groan! Apart from the First Pavilion, there is no such cold-blooded butcher in this world! "
"Even if they are from the First Pavilion, they are already dead for sure!" A skinny old man by the side glared fiercely at Ling Feng and Ling Yun. "Since they have chosen the path of killing, they must be prepared to be killed!"
"That's not what I meant!" The square-faced man was getting impatient as he furrowed his brows. "The reason why we are attacking this time is because they killed many of our Tamago's third generation disciples! But have you ever thought about how the First Pavilion would take revenge on us if we killed an important character of the First Pavilion? Especially that number one assassin in the world, what will he do? Don't forget, the First Pavilion Head is even more dangerous than the Martial Order Medallion owner, Justice! Although Justice is the number one assassin in the world, he won't make a move easily. As long as we don't anger him, he won't be able to do anything to us! But what about the First Pavilion Head? He is a pure killing god! If the First Pavilion wants to take revenge, the consequences will be extremely tragic! "
The faces of the few people on the hill stiffened when they heard this. They naturally knew how terrifying the First Pavilion was. In fact, they were even clearer about it. They naturally knew that the square-faced man's words were not baseless.
"Could it be that we are still going to let them off now?" A person by the side glared at Ling Feng and Ling Yun with hatred in his eyes. "So what if they are from the First Pavilion? So what if they want to take revenge? Just because they are from the First Pavilion, our grandchildren died for nothing?! " He laughed coldly and looked at the square-faced man with mockery. "Could it be that second brother is afraid of the First Pavilion's revenge? Don't forget that the First Pavilion has completely submitted to the Divine Prefecture Empire. Being merciful to the enemy is being cold-blooded and cruel to your own people! Only the few of us heard your words. If the Emperor heard it, second brother would be in trouble! "
"What nonsense are you spouting!" The square-faced man was furious. He felt helpless against the stupidity of the people in front of him. He scolded angrily, "Why don't you listen to me clearly! Do you think that I don't know that the First Pavilion and our Tamago Empire are irreconcilable? These two brats killed so many of our Tamago Empire's disciples. If we kill them just like that, wouldn't we be letting them off too easily? Since we have already confirmed that they are from the First Pavilion, why don't we make use of them? Since the First Pavilion will definitely take revenge, we have to plan how to deal with them first. If we can capture them alive, as long as we cripple their martial arts, can't we use them as a death trap? Even if we can't capture them alive, we can use their corpses to set up a trap to lure the enemy. You can't even think of these things. You only know how to kill for revenge. Do you think that everything will be over after you kill them? Don't you need to think of other things?! "
Everyone was speechless.
"Brilliant plan!" The shriveled old man's sunken eyes flashed as he raised his head and said, "This plan is truly ingenious! The First Pavilion belongs to the Ling Tian Empire, but they have been hiding very deeply for such a long time. We have never been able to find any traces of them, much less their headquarters! Although the First Pavilion's head is the number one assassin in the world, he is ruthless and merciless, and his martial arts are exceptional. However, there is one shortcoming. He loves his subordinates the most. If we can really capture these two and torture them to vent our anger, regardless of whether they are alive or dead, they will become our greatest killing weapon against the First Pavilion! "
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. They all felt that this plan was truly flawless. Not only could they vent the anger in their hearts, they could also use this opportunity to kill one of their enemies. It was truly a brilliant plan that could kill many birds with one stone!
Right at this time, a cold and sinister voice suddenly rang out. It was filled with endless ridicule, suppressed anger, and extremely sharp killing intent. "Brilliant plan? Is it really so brilliant? "
This voice had appeared so abruptly that even though everyone present was an expert, none of them had noticed when this person had arrived. They couldn't help but turn pale with fright as they all turned around to look.
About seventy to eighty feet behind them, in front of a shrub that was completely covered in snow, a black figure stood there with his back facing them. His black cloak fluttered in the wind, and in the midst of the heavy snow, he looked like a black ghost. Just by looking at him, one could feel a chill that seemed to come from the depths of hell rising from the bottom of their hearts!
Death, death, lifeless atmosphere, everything was filled with the intent of death!
At first glance, they could tell that this black robed man was thin and not very tall. But just by standing there, he seemed to be much taller than the people from Tamago. It was as though he was high above them, as though he could casually control the life and death of this group of people in front of him!
The man in black felt their gazes and slowly turned around. He took a few steps forward and scanned them with his cold eyes. He said indifferently and coldly, "Are there only a few of you?!"
"Leaving no traces behind!" The skinny old man exclaimed in shock. A rare look of caution appeared on his face as his entire body tensed up. When everyone heard his words, their bodies trembled as they looked at the black robed man's feet in disbelief. A pair of black shoes was clearly floating on the snow. Even the slightly yellowed upper of the shoes could be seen clearly!
This black robed man was over a hundred jin in weight, but he was standing on the soft snow without any signs of sinking! It was as though his body was lighter than a feather! Even if a feather were to land on the snow, there would still be some traces left behind!
The eyes of all the experts from Tamago shrunk!
The so-called 'leaving no traces behind' was only a name for movement techniques. Everyone present had only heard of it but had never seen it before! Even for those experts who claimed to be able to leave no traces behind, the most they could do was to make their bodies lighter and avoid sinking into the snow. But no matter what, they would still leave behind shallow footprints. This was just like 'a thousand miles in an instant' or 'shrinking a ruler into an inch'. They were all just names and did not really mean that one could travel a thousand miles in an instant …
But when the black robed man casually took a few steps forward, everyone could clearly see that there was not a single trace behind him! This was a true 'leaving no traces behind'!
Such a movement technique was akin to that of a ghost! Just what kind of inner qi did he have to be able to display such a godly movement technique? Such a movement technique, not to mention them, even the peerless Yu ManLou might not be able to do it!
