"You!"
Not far away, the cavalrymen were cleaning up the battlefield. The Daoists were bandaging the injured cavalrymen. When they heard Zhang Ling's voice, they looked over and stared at the Daoist.
This young Daoist was an Earth Immortal, and had changed his body. He didn't seem to mind this at all. He glanced at them and laughed, "Pei Zi Yun and I really have a tacit understanding. Once I kill all of you, the Imperial Court's Dao Records Department will be greatly weakened. When that happens, there will be fewer restrictions placed on us.
"You're an Earth Immortal. Pei Zi Yun betrayed us? In exchange for a chance to kill Xie Cheng Dong? "Zhang Ling's heart was filled with fear.
"Strictly speaking, it's a tacit understanding!" The Earth Immortal laughed, "Alright, you can all die now."
The Earth Immortal stepped on the ground and in a flash, he was already upon them.
"Curse!"
"Weak!"
A large group of spells flew towards him. The Earth Immortal laughed coldly and did not bother to dodge. A circle of light appeared around him and the spells landed on him. "Pu pu!" The spell was deflected by the circle of light, but it was useless.
"How is this possible?" The Daoist retreated several steps, his face pale. At this point, the Earth Immortal pointed out with his finger and a crackling sound could be heard. Immediately, an electric arc shot out.
The electric arc seemed to have burnt the air. In a flash, the five or six Daoists froze in place.
The Earth Immortal took a step forward and arrived in front of the Daoists. He then pointed at the foreheads of the Daoists.
"Pu pu pu!" A hole appeared on the foreheads of the Daoists. Their brains and blood splattered all over the ground.
"Quicksand!" Zhang Ling shouted out as several rays of light shot down from the sky. The sand beneath the Earth Immortal's feet formed a depression. However, the Earth Immortal stood on the sand like a feather and did not sink.
"It's all a waste of effort!" The Earth Immortal smiled and wiped the splattered brains, "The Earth Immortal is the peak of Dao techniques. If you were an armored soldier, that would be fine. But your Dao techniques are not even worthy of my attention."
Zhang Ling's face fell as she clenched her fists tightly. She then turned around and shouted, "Quick, retreat. Pei Zi Yun is in cahoots with the bandits. He wants to kill us all."
"Run!"
Hearing these words, the Daoist official reacted. The cavalrymen were extremely tired, and the general shouted out, "Quick, quick, charge! Let's meet up with the Daoist official and kill our way out. These Daoists are rebelling."
The rider shouted as he leapt onto his horse. "Give us buffs, we'll charge and open up a path."
There were only fifty cavalrymen left, all of them bleeding and injured. At this moment, not only were the men tired, but the horses were also tired. However, at this moment, they couldn't relax. They immediately pounced forward.
Although there were only fifty of them, with a flash of Taoist techniques, all of the cavalrymen raised their spears and galloped towards the Earth Immortals with their iron hooves. They gradually accelerated and charged towards the Earth Immortals.
"Kill!" All of the cavalrymen shouted out as they sped up. When they were close enough, the leader of the cavalry raised his spear and thrust it forward, "Go to hell!"
"You think you can fight against me with just these few people?" After laughing, the Earth Immortal's face darkened. With a point of his finger, an electric arc accurately landed in the middle of the cavalry. Then, everyone saw a scene that they would never forget.
The horses in front tilted and broke their own legs. "Boom!" The cavalrymen in front fell to the ground, blocking the charge of the cavalrymen behind. Immediately, a chain reaction occurred.
"General!" The fallen cavalryman was stepped on by his own soldiers and his flesh exploded. The Earth Immortal rushed forward, pulled out a long spear and pointed.
The long spear was able to pierce through the gaps in the armor. "Pu pu pu" sounds were heard as the spear pierced through the back of the cavalryman's armor. Blood gushed out and the cavalryman was dead.
"Kill! Kill kill kill! " Seeing that more than ten cavalrymen had been killed, the remaining cavalrymen went crazy. Several long spears were aimed at the Earth Immortal with all their strength and insanity.
"Whoosh!" The long spear fell and the enemy disappeared. When they saw him again, he was already in the middle of the cavalrymen.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!" More than ten cavalrymen's blood splattered everywhere as they fell. In just one move, half of the fifty cavalrymen were dead.
The long spear was broken. The Earth Immortal shook off the blood on the spear and smiled. He then pulled out his sword.
"Retreat!" Finally, the remaining cavalrymen started to feel fear. It was only at this moment that the Daoist from Dark Altar Sect cast a spell. More than ten swordsmen rode on horses, wielding long swords as they charged forward.
"Kill, kill, kill!" Seeing this, the remaining lieutenant's eyes turned red. Gritting his teeth, he turned around and charged at the Earth Immortals, shouting, "Brothers, it's time for the final charge. Daoist officers, run and report this to the imperial court."
"Pu" The Earth Immortal pointed his finger and brushed past the officer, causing his head to explode. Blood splattered everywhere, mixing with his brain matter. However, the rest of the cavalrymen continued to charge forward without a care for their own safety.
Within a few breaths, the entire cavalrymen had fallen to the ground. Their armor and men were all in tatters. Not many of the corpses were whole. Blood flowed like a river, and the air was filled with the stench of blood.
From afar, Zhang Ling gripped the reins of her horse tightly as tears flowed down her cheeks. She led the two Daoist officials and ran away.
"True Sovereign, aren't we going to chase?"
"Isn't this better?" The Earth Immortal only took a few moments before wrinkles started to appear on his forehead. He then laughed, "Killing these Daoist officials was an agreement between me and Pei Zi Yun. However, I can't be the one to take the blame."
"After this battle, the imperial court's Dao Records Department has suffered a huge blow. Now that someone has escaped, I want to see how he reports back to the imperial court."
"At this point, Xie Cheng Dong and Pei Zi Yun will definitely be fighting to the death. I'm afraid both sides have already lost. I shall go and kill them. As for Pei Zi Yun and Free Cloud Sect, we shall let the imperial court handle them for us."
"If they manage to escape, we shall ask the imperial court to put in more effort."
"True Sovereign is wise and farsighted. Indeed, we can't compare to you." The Daoist smiled.
The Earth Immortal waved his hands, "That's enough. You guys hurry up and clean up the mess. I shall go and track them down."
As he spoke, he stood at his original position and closed his eyes. He then pointed to a direction, "They're there. I shall head there first. You guys follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Earth Immortal transformed into a gust of wind and chased after them.
The night sky was dark and gloomy. In the distance, they could see the silhouette of a mountain range. The ground was covered in dust, and the road was unclear. All they could see were two Daoists riding on horses, one in front of the other in pursuit. The one in front was Xie Cheng Dong, and the one behind him was Pei Zi Yun.
On both sides of the road were rice fields. Further away, they could see several villages. These villages had walls built around them, and had ditches. There were even people patrolling the area. Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, they started banging their gongs and shouting, "Guard against thieves, guard against thieves!"
Both of them didn't want to get any closer, and only urged their horses on. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun's horse was getting closer and closer, Xie Cheng Dong turned around and was about to cast his spell.
Pei Zi Yun pointed his finger, and a sandpit appeared where Xie Cheng Dong's horse had hooves. Xie Cheng Dong couldn't stop the horse in time, and the horse's hooves sank into the sand. A 'pa' sound was heard, and the horse's leg broke.
Xie Cheng Dong was shocked, but he didn't panic. He leaped off his horse and landed on the ground. His body swayed a little before he stabilized himself.
"Kill!" Pei Zi Yun chased after him, his face was cold. The horse had reached Xie Cheng Dong's side, and Pei Zi Yun slashed down with his sword. Although it was a simple move, it was ingenious to the extreme.
'I haven't seen this bastard for a few months, and it seems like his martial arts and Dao Arts have improved tremendously. This is unbelievable.' As the sword landed, Xie Cheng Dong's pupils dilated, as he broke out in a cold sweat. He rolled to the side, and saw that the ground was damp, with some mud stuck to it. He looked extremely pathetic.
Pei Zi Yun's sword had missed its target, and he didn't pull on the reins of his horse. Instead, he pressed down on the saddle and leaped off the horse, charging towards Xie Cheng Dong.
Xie Cheng Dong pulled out his sword, his eyes cold. He wasn't in a hurry to fight, but asked a question that he couldn't understand, "Pei Zi Yun, what did you do? Why did you make my sect turn around and deal with me? "
"Haha!" Pei Zi Yun laughed, "Xie Cheng Dong, I thought you would continue to run away. I didn't expect you to choose to fight me."
"Then go and die. When you die, you will know why. Because many of them will come down to accompany you. You won't be lonely."
As he spoke, his sword flashed and appeared right in front of Xie Cheng Dong. Xie Cheng Dong was prepared for this, and raised his sword to block the attack. Sparks flew everywhere.
As he blocked the attack, Pei Zi Yun pointed with his left hand, "Weaken!"
"Cancel!" Xie Cheng Dong's heart skipped a beat. To be able to cast spells while wielding a sword, and with such ease, Pei Zi Yun's Dao Arts had improved by leaps and bounds compared to a few months ago.
He hurriedly stretched out his hand, and a weak ray of light shot out, dispersing the spell in front of him. However, the next moment, the sword flashed brightly, and was about to reach him.
Xie Cheng Dong felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the sword's aura. He dodged it, and heard a "pu" sound. The corner of his robe was torn, and a drop of blood seeped out.
"How is this possible?" Xie Cheng Dong took a step back. Although it was only a hair's breadth, Pei Zi Yun had already overtaken him. Just as he was in shock, the rice on the ground suddenly twisted into a rope, and wrapped itself around Xie Cheng Dong's thigh.
"Release!" Xie Cheng Dong formed a hand seal, and a ray of light flashed beneath his feet.
"Pu!" He managed to dodge the Dao Arts, but the sword flashed towards him. The sound of the sword made his hair stand on end. Xie Cheng Dong did not hesitate any longer, and blocked the sword with his hand.
"Zheng zheng zheng …." A series of ear-piercing sounds could be heard. In that split second, life and death seemed to be hanging by a thread. The sword flashed, and miraculously pierced through the air. Xie Cheng Dong retreated a few steps, and his face was pale. The situation with Pei Zi Yun had far exceeded his expectations.
Pei Zi Yun's Dao Arts were profound, and his speed was extremely fast. Combined with his sword techniques, he managed to catch Xie Cheng Dong off guard. He could only defend himself, and could not attack.
Xie Cheng Dong had been injured in the battle with the Earth Immortal, and was forced to retreat.
"Si!" Pei Zi Yun's sword slashed across Xie Cheng Dong's face. Xie Cheng Dong dodged, and a red line appeared on his face. A lock of hair was sliced off. Xie Cheng Dong saw that Pei Zi Yun did not stop, and continued to advance towards him. A sense of fear welled up within him, and he could not help but take in a deep breath.
"Croak croak" Many frogs were croaking in the paddy fields. Xie Cheng Dong retreated backwards, and his legs loosened. The soil beneath him sank half a foot into the ground.
"Not good!" Xie Cheng Dong's face fell.
