"Quick, retreat!"
The entire valley was engulfed in flames, as the entire area was dyed red. The captain was shocked and immediately gave the order for the cavalry to turn around and run towards the entrance of the valley.
"What kind of fire is this? Why is it burning so fast? " Shen Zhen looked at the flames and his face fell. Although the leaves on the ground were at least half a foot thick, the cavalry was much faster. Unless the entire valley was engulfed in flames, they would not be able to catch up. However, as the flames continued to burn, they started to spread out. The speed of the flames was almost the same as the cavalry.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the rapidly burning fire, "Normal fires don't burn fast. This is the fire of Dao Arts, and can burn as fast as oil. Although it can only last for ten minutes, it's more than enough to deal with this situation."
He was secretly proud of himself. This was not a divine ability, but a technique that he had developed after reaching the level of a Dao Arts master. It could be called "Heavenly Fire Rain".
"Dao Arts and divine abilities are not something we martial artists can match up to!" Shen Zhen looked down and saw the flames spreading out rapidly, forming a sea of fire. The cavalry could still escape, but the soldiers were all wearing armor and could not escape in time. Some of them screamed in pain as they rolled around in the sea of fire. Some of them took off their armor and ran. Some of them had fire on them and were rolling around on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames. The smell of burnt human flesh permeated the air.
The fire grew stronger and stronger. In a blink of an eye, the entire place was engulfed in flames.
"Brother Pei, look, the enemy is escaping!" Shen Zhen pointed out. The captain felt that something was amiss and turned his horse around. He then led the two hundred cavalrymen to escape.
The cavalrymen were extremely fast. Even the sea of fire could not catch up to them. They were about to escape.
Pei Zi Yun laughed coldly and said, "I've been waiting for you."
He then turned to the rest of the martial artists and said, "Everyone, please help me. Yes, push this huge rock."
More than ten people pushed a huge rock off the cliff and exerted their strength. The rock only shook slightly. At this point, Pei Zi Yun's face turned red as he pointed at the bottom of the rock, "Quicksand!"
"Boom!" The huge rock loosened. Shen Zhen was overjoyed and shouted, "Push!"
More than ten people exerted their strength together, and the boulder began to move. It began to roll faster and faster. There were originally several riders who were about to rush out of the valley, and when they saw the boulder rolling down, they let out inhuman screams. However, the screams immediately stopped, and with a "hong" sound, there wasn't even any blood or flesh splattered as they were turned into meat patties.
The boulder smashed into the narrow entrance of the valley, blocking it. Behind it, the sea of fire grew larger and larger as it pounced forward.
"The huge rock is blocking the exit. The horses can't jump over. These people are going to be roasted." A martial artist laughed as he looked down. He looked relaxed. "Oh, the enemies are climbing the rock."
"Smash, smash them to death!"
One of the cavalrymen dismounted from his horse and pounced forward to climb up. Suddenly, a stone fell and smashed into the cavalryman's head. His head immediately splattered white and red.
The fire continued to burn, and all the horses were alarmed. The horse carrying the captain also jumped up in panic and turned to run.
"Stop!" The captain roared angrily, but his horse did not listen to him. One of the cavalrymen did not pull the reins tight and fell down.
"Ah!" The cavalryman screamed out in pain. Before he could stand up, a panicked horse trampled on him. The cavalryman screamed out in pain as blood spurted out of his mouth. More horses trampled on him, and in the blink of an eye, there was no more sound.
The captain looked at the sea of fire that was surging towards him. Within the sea of fire, the soldiers who were too slow to escape had all been annihilated. He then looked at the huge rock blocking the exit, and stared at Pei Zi Yun who was standing on top of the cliff. His face turned ashen. He never thought that he would be ambushed.
"Kill the horses. Walk and follow me up the cliff." The captain ordered as he stabbed his knife into the neck of the horse. The horse was still panicking, and as soon as the knife pierced through it, fresh blood splattered everywhere.
The surrounding cavalrymen were clear that in this situation, the horses were not their helpers. Instead, they were their enemies. They all pulled out their knives and started killing the horses they were riding on.
Not far away, some of the soldiers who were too slow to escape were caught up in the sea of fire. They were writhing in pain, their limbs flailing as they screamed in pain.
"Quick!" The cavalrymen did not need to be hurried as they climbed up the rock. Although the horses could not climb up the rock, the men could.
Actually, if they were not prepared, there were not many rocks that could be smashed onto the cliff. After a short while, there were no more rocks to use. Some of the soldiers had already climbed up the rock and jumped down.
Pei Zi Yun looked around, and saw the flames and the cavalrymen climbing up the cliff.
"Prepare the crossbows."
Pei Zi Yun then picked up a bow and aimed it at one of the cavalrymen.
Under the illumination of the fire, one of the cavalrymen could be seen with a face full of dirt and dirt. He had a fierce look on his face as he cursed. His body was extremely agile, and he looked as though he was about to flip over.
Pei Zi Yun then ordered, "Shoot!"
As he said this, he released the bowstring and shot an arrow. At the same time, the sound of a bowstring being released could be heard. Although there weren't many crossbows, when they were shot together, they formed a rain of arrows.
The cavalryman who was about to climb over was secretly celebrating. Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound could be heard as the arrow pierced through the air and pierced through his helmet. It pierced through his eyes and came out from the back of his head. Fresh blood and brain matter splattered all over the huge rock.
"Pu pu pu!" The archery skills of the martial artists were not bad. After twenty arrows, seven or eight of the cavalrymen were sent tumbling down the cliff. The cavalrymen below were shocked.
"Ah!" The entire valley was engulfed in flames. Those who were not killed by the arrows began to writhe in the flames, screaming in agony. It was not a sound that could be made by a human.
At this point, Pei Zi Yun's face turned pale. He placed his hands on the cliff as his chest heaved up and down. He was panting heavily.
"Retch!" Blood gushed up his throat and filled his mouth. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood back down. His chest felt stuffy.
"Shoot, do not stop. They are trapped in the valley, and are dead meat." Pei Zi Yun held onto his bow and leaned against the cliff. His face was pale as he gave the order.
At this point, he felt that his body was empty. He thought to himself, 'The Earth Immortal Fruit has its limits. No wonder it can't defy the heavens.'
'However, the pursuing cavalrymen are like turtles in a pond. I can kill them all.'
The martial artists had a fierce look on their faces as they pulled back their bows and fired continuously. From time to time, a cavalryman would cry out in pain and fall to the ground.
The cavalrymen who were charging forward were filled with fear and did not dare to move forward.
However, there was a rain of arrows in front of them, and the fire behind them was getting bigger and bigger. Thick smoke filled the air, and the cavalrymen could not see, and could not breathe. They could only scream and roll on the ground.
The captain shouted out in anger, "Charge forward! If you are shot dead, you can at least leave your corpse intact. Do you want to be burned to death?"
The fire was getting closer and closer. Smoke filled the air, and it was difficult to breathe. Following the captain's orders, the cavalrymen braced themselves and climbed up.
"Hu!" Several more arrows were fired, and the cavalrymen fell to the ground. One of the martial artists reached behind him, but found nothing. When he turned around, he realized that all the arrows in his quiver had been emptied.
He looked around and saw that everyone around him had emptied their arrows. Only Pei Zi Yun still had an arrow strapped to his back. He leaned against the cliff and closed his eyes, as if he was meditating.
When the rain of arrows stopped, Shen Zhen said, "Brother Pei, we've run out of arrows. What do we do now?"
Pei Zi Yun was meditating, and did not reply immediately. After some time, he opened his eyes. After a series of battles, his immortal energy had been completely depleted. The two shots he fired just now had caused him some injuries.
"Hu!" Pei Zi Yun heaved a sigh of relief and walked to the edge of the cliff. He looked down and saw that the captain had noticed that the rain of arrows had stopped. He then climbed over the huge rock and shouted out loudly. The scattered cavalrymen seemed to have regrouped and climbed over as well. In the blink of an eye, the captain had several bodyguards beside him.
Pei Zi Yun's face was gloomy as he asked, "Shen Zhen, are you willing to help me kill this man?"
When Shen Zhen heard this, he laughed, "Brother Pei, there were five hundred enemies. Now there are less than a hundred left. Let's do it."
The martial artists did not hesitate, "I'm willing to follow big brother and True Sovereign."
"Good, let's go down together. You guys hold them off for a while." Pei Zi Yun said as a cold smile appeared on his face, "I can kill this general."
On the huge rock, the captain led his men and climbed up. All of a sudden, someone shouted out, "Not good, someone is coming down from above."
When the captain heard this, he looked up and saw Pei Zi Yun leaping down. His toes touched the protruding rock as he slid down a few feet before landing on the next rock.
The martial artists did not have such skills, but with the support of the vines, they slid down as well. Their speed wasn't slow at all, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on the ground. When Pei Zi Yun was only thirty feet above the ground, he leaped down. While in midair, he drew his bow and shot a few arrows. "Pu pu pu" sounds could be heard as the bodyguards around the captain fell to the ground.
As for Shen Zhen, he missed by a hair's breadth as he landed on the rock. With a flash of his blade, two cavalrymen fell to the ground.
"Protect the captain." Several of the cavalrymen who had already climbed up shouted out as they charged forward. Pei Zi Yun did not care about them as he drew his bow and shot another arrow. Because the distance was too close, the arrow pierced through the heart of one of the bodyguards who had just charged forward. The force of the arrow did not diminish as it pierced through the chest of the bodyguard behind him. The bodyguard screamed out in pain as he fell to the ground.
After shooting the arrows, one of the bodyguards wielded a long blade and charged towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun tossed his bow aside and leaped into the air, landing a kick on the bodyguard's shoulder.
"Pa!" A crisp sound could be heard as Pei Zi Yun's shoulder was crushed. He then took a step forward and stepped on the head of another bodyguard. This person started bleeding from all his orifices as he fell to the ground.
"Die!" Pei Zi Yun landed on the ground and pulled out his sword. There were no more obstacles in front of him.
"How is this possible? Your demonic arts have obviously been used up. "The captain shouted out in anger. The demonic energy around him seemed to have been awakened by his fear and anger.
An illusory image of a bull appeared in the air and let out a 'moo'. The captain's eyes turned red as a wave of energy surged through his body. As he breathed, his nostrils flared up.
"Die!" The captain shouted out in anger as he slashed down with his blade. This slash was so sudden that it seemed as though the wind and thunder were about to explode. It was obvious that this was an attack that had never been seen before.
"Cloud Wind Form!" Pei Zi Yun's face turned pale as he transformed into a ray of light that flashed through the air.
"Ugh …." The captain screamed out as he charged forward, barely managing to stand. A wave of pain shot through his body as he stood rooted to the ground. He stretched out his hand and felt his chest split open. His internal organs and blood flowed out.
"I've lost." With this thought in mind, the captain fell to the ground as his pupils dilated. The illusory bull panicked and was about to escape when the Plum Blossom flashed and disappeared.
"Ugh." Pei Zi Yun clutched at his chest as blood flowed out from his torn clothes. "Cough cough!"
Pei Zi Yun's face was as white as a sheet of paper as blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. He sighed in his heart, 'I've overexerted myself.'
When he was at his peak, killing a lieutenant was a piece of cake. The first and second time, he killed the enemy as if he was an immortal, and there was almost no smoke or fire. However, after the repeated encirclement and slaughter, the situation became worse and worse. His immortal energy was almost completely exhausted, and today, he was finally injured.
"Let's go!" Shen Zhen saw this and turned around to help Pei Zi Yun up. They then sped off into the distance.
At this point, the fire had already reached the huge boulder. The raging flames had blocked the exit and destroyed all hope of escape. Only about ten riders managed to climb over the boulder and escape from death. They knelt on the ground.
