"Enemy attack!" The two of them had amazing hearing. They quickly turned around, their expressions changing in shock.
A hundred meters behind them, a red-robed youth had mysteriously appeared.
He had a jade crown and black hair, as handsome as a fairy. He stood proudly on an ancient tree, looking down at the two of them.
His eyes were as deep as the starry sky, filled with a cold killing intent.
He held a fiery red bow in his hand.
Clang —
At the critical moment, the hunter on the left took out his embroidered knife and used it to block the arrow.
"It's Su Yu!" The two of them were shocked, looking at each other as they flanked Su Yu from both sides.
"Be careful, it is said that he has comprehended the Holy Decree. Let's split up and attack, don't give him a chance to attack!"
Su Yu's cold eyes were filled with killing intent. His red robe and black hair danced in the wind. With a light tap of his feet, he floated to the ground like a feather.
The two hunters attacked from the left and right, their murderous intents cold.
Su Yu stood still, motionless. He did not try to escape.
Only when the two hunters were within a hundred feet of him did Su Yu slowly raise his dark eyes.
"Diabolic Sword!" A black light flashed. An invisible sword crossed the void and slashed into the head of the hunter on the left.
Ah —
A shrill scream reverberated through the forest. The hunter hugged his head and screamed in pain.
Whoosh —
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Yu took large strides, his figure as fast as a torrent, leaving behind a series of afterimages as he chased after the hunter.
"Heavenly Finger!" Su Yu raised his finger high, his body blending with nature as he slashed down.
Creak —
The hunter on the left lost his will to defend himself as he was in intense pain from his soul. A bloody groove was cut open on his chest!
Ah —
With a pathetic groan, the hunter's chest burst open and he died!
The pupils of the remaining hunter on the right shrank, his heart thumping wildly!
Clenching his teeth, he turned around and fled!
He alone could not kill the other party, and there was a possibility that he would be killed.
"Hmph!" Su Yu did not chase. Cloud Shadow was a low level technique. Even though he had cultivated it to the top class, it could only increase his speed to Level Four Peak. He could not catch up to the hunter.
Most importantly, there were other people in the forest. He had to retreat quickly to avoid being surrounded by strong fighters.
He turned around and searched the hunter's body, taking away the silver, dry food, and the animal skin coat he was wearing.
Su Yu and Senior Qin had escaped in a hurry and were penniless when the duke's manor was in danger.
After leaving the place, Su Yu roughly ascertained the direction of the imperial capital. He then passed through the dense forest and traveled quickly.
Entering the empire's capital and participating in the Holy Meet was his only chance for revenge!
Half a day later, Guard Chen and the lucky hunter returned. Behind them was a masked young man.
His face could not be seen clearly, but his figure was that of the Level Six Peak Ranker, Bai Qixiong!
"Senior, his silver, rations, and clothes have all been taken away. Once he enters the city and disguises himself, it will be very difficult to catch him." Bodyguard Chen's expression was grave. Assassinating a Holy Seal bearer was a heinous crime. As long as Su Yu was not dead, he would not be able to rest easy.
"You think you're so smart!" Bai Qixiong sneered. How could he not be prepared when he was tracking the enemy in the forest?
He led a hunting dog over and ordered it to sniff the corpse a few times to familiarize itself with the smell of the corpse's owner.
Su Yu taking away the other party's clothes was seeking his own death!
The hound circled the area and immediately confirmed Su Yu's direction. It was the direction of the imperial capital!
"Chase! He cannot have gotten far! "With the speed of a Level Five Peak Ranker, Su Yu would not be able to escape death!
With the help of the hound, they chased after Su Yu.
One day later, the two of them had already traveled dozens of miles in the forest!
Once Bai Qixiong caught up to Su Yu, with Bai Qixiong's frightening abilities, Su Yu would not be able to resist and would be killed on the spot!
Two days later, the two of them were still in pursuit.
The barking of the hound became more and more obvious, indicating that the distance between them was getting closer.
"Senior, this lad's escape route is complicated. He changed directions a few times along the way. It seems that he has changed directions from the direction of the imperial capital to the depths of the Twilight Mountains. His escape route is completely random." After chasing for two and a half days, Bodyguard Chen voiced his doubts.
Bai Qixiong was also a little confused.
Su Yu knew that he was being chased and should have gone to a place with many people. With so many people around, Bai Qixiong would not dare to act rashly.
At the moment, Su Yu was escaping to a desolate forest, a place with few people. It seemed like he was seeking his own death.
"Could it be that he wants to hide in the deep forest?" Bai Qixiong was secretly suspicious.
Finally, half a day later!
The hound stopped and charged into a huge cave, barking crazily!
Bai Qixiong and Bodyguard Chen were elated. After two and a half days of pursuit, they had finally caught up to him!
Roar —
A low roar came from the cave!
Roar —
A tall black shadow fiercely charged out of the cave, pouncing toward the group.
Looking at it, it was a giant black bear, as tall as a human!
"Hmph! You are asking for death! "Bodyguard Chen swung the long knife at his waist, slicing off the black bear's head!
Thump —
The black bear's body fell to the ground!
Bai Qixiong stared at the belly of the black bear, his eyes cold. "Cunning lad!"
Bodyguard Chen's pupils dilated, his heart sinking. "No wonder! He is cunning! "
The black bear's belly was tied with an animal skin coat.
It was from the dead assassin's body!
They all thought that Su Yu had taken the clothes after taking the silver and rations to change into a bright red robe. This would make it easier for him to hide in the forest or disguise himself.
But who could have expected this lad to be so cunning!
He had purposely taken the animal skin coat and tied it under the belly of the black bear, guessing that they would use the scent of the hound to track him.
The black bear had been provoked and escaped into the depths of the mountain range. As expected, he had led them in the opposite direction!
It could be said that from the very beginning, this child had planned out a plan and was prepared for it.
"We were tricked by a lad!" Bai Qixiong was furious, turning around to leave.
Bodyguard Chen followed closely behind, anxious and fearful. "Elder, what should we do? We have already lost track of him. "
Where could they find him in the vast forest?
Bai Qixiong's gaze was cold, looking around. Finally, he looked in the direction of the imperial capital!
"Since he led us into the depths of the mountain range, we can chase in the opposite direction!"
In the opposite direction, it was the imperial capital!
Bodyguard Chen agreed with him.
Seven days later, the two of them stopped at a beach with a stream.
A cold bonfire that had been extinguished for a long time lay quietly beside the stream. Numerous fish bones were scattered around.
"The bonfire was extinguished a day ago. This place is deserted and hunters would not come here. The possibility of Su Yu being the culprit is high." Bodyguard Chen pinched a piece of wood with his finger, sniffing it with the tip of his nose.
Bai Qixiong's gaze was cold. "Alright! With our speed, we can catch up in half a day! "
Bodyguard Chen hesitated. "Elder, if I remember correctly, we will reach the imperial capital after climbing over the mountain in front of us. If we cannot stop him, it will be difficult for us to strike again."
There were many people in the imperial capital. Even if they were to strike in the dead of night, there was a high chance that they would be exposed.
"Chase!" Feeling that time was tight, Bai Qixiong creased his brows and chased after Su Yu.
…
Su Yu was exhausted. He had been on the run for ten consecutive days. Apart from eating and drinking, he had been on the run the rest of the time.
He only replenished his energy when he ate. Now, he was physically weak and exhausted.
But thinking about the assassin chasing after him, Su Yu did not dare relax.
He climbed to the peak of a mountain with much difficulty. Looking up, he saw dense forests and vast plains. It was like a painting.
Rivers flowed across the land, lush greenery, and a cool breeze blew past.
In the distant horizon, a majestic city was vaguely visible in the mist like a giant monster that could prop up the heavens!
"The imperial capital!" Su Yu was pleasantly surprised. He had been walking in the direction of the imperial capital. After ten days, he had finally arrived!
He had to thank the fact that the Xianyu prefecture was adjacent to the imperial capital.
Otherwise, with the vastness of the Xianyu prefecture, which was the size of the entire China continent, Su Yu would have needed a few months to traverse the entire Xianyu prefecture.
His destination was in front. Su Yu relaxed. A wave of drowsiness swept over him.
He was too tired, so tired that he could fall asleep at any moment.
He pinched his thigh. The pain caused Su Yu to wake up a little.
Before descending the mountain, Su Yu hid out of habit and looked back to observe the situation of his pursuers.
He was just casually looking around, but when he turned his eyes, he saw his heart beating wildly!
Bodyguard Chen and a masked youth were hurriedly chasing after him!
Even though they were two miles away, to Su Yu's eyes, it was as if they were right in front of him.
Even though Bai Qixiong was masked, Su Yu could still recognize him even if he turned to dust.
Not good!
Two miles was not far, but it was not close either. They would catch up in a few minutes!
Without any hesitation, Su Yu rushed down the mountain and headed toward the plains.
On the way down, he used his eyes to scan the plains to see if there were any places to hide.
Suddenly, he noticed a group of people setting up camp by the riverside. There were dozens of them, divided into seven or eight tents.
Su Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly ran down the mountain.
Two minutes later, Su Yu looked back and saw Bai Qixiong and Bodyguard Chen climbing up the mountain!
He could not wait any longer!
Before he was discovered, Su Yu chose the tent closest to the riverside and snuck into the tent.
At that moment, Bai Qixiong and Bodyguard Chen climbed up the mountain.
Their eyesight was not as good as Su Yu's, and they did not notice the person they were looking for hiding in the tent.
Su Yu looked through the gap in the tent and observed the expressions of the two people two miles away. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no abnormalities.
Exhausted, Su Yu sat on the ground and started to observe the tent carefully.
Even though the tent was set up temporarily and was crude, the bedsheets were either pink or red. A faint fragrance surrounded the tent. It was like a lady's bedroom.
"I will disturb you for a while. I will leave once Bai Qixiong and his people are far away." There were many people here, and Su Yu believed that Bai Qixiong would not dare to do anything rash. If news were to leak out, no one in the world could save him.
After fleeing for so many days, he could finally take a breather. He could no longer suppress his exhaustion.
In a daze, Su Yu climbed onto the embroidered bed and burrowed into the bedding.
His head was heavy, and he felt drowsy.
Outside the tent, there was a graceful, elegant, and refined woman. She was untainted by even a speck of dust.
Her eyes were clear like water, and she was elegant and refined. She did not look like a beauty from the mortal world, but like a fairy from a painting.
Her snow-white face was tranquil, but her clear eyes were filled with worry.
"Yu-er, are you still worried about Qin Xianer and Su Yu?" Xia Linxuan sighed. He could not bear to see his daughter languish.
Within ten days, news of what had happened in the Xianyu prefecture had spread throughout the thirteen prefectures of the empire.
The Duke of Xianyu had been captured, and his daughter and son-in-law had escaped.
Su Yu was a Holy Seal bearer, and the empire did not dare to pursue him. However, Qin Xianer was wanted by the empire, and her fate was unknown.
Xia Jingyu and Qin Xianer had been best friends since they were young, and they were as close as sisters.
Now, Xia Jingyu had lost both her best friend and her best friend. How could she not be worried?
Xia Jingyu looked back and forced a smile.
"The Duke of Xianyu had a premonition, and had arranged for an expert to bring them away. They should be fine. Yu-er, do not worry." Xia Linxuan comforted her, "No news is the best news. Maybe they have already left the Fenglin Empire, far away from home!"
Far away from home?
Xia Jingyu was both relieved and sad. Her heart was empty, and her eyes were misty.
In this lifetime, she might not be able to see Xianer and Su Yu again. Were they safe and sound now that they were wandering in a foreign land?
Xia Jingyu hid the tears in her eyes, "Father, I will go back to my room to rest."
Xia Linxuan tenderly said, "Yes, it is late. Rest well, and you can enter the imperial capital tomorrow."
"Yes." Xia Jingyu lowered her head and entered the room, feeling depressed. She walked to the side of the bed, and from the corner of her eye, she noticed that there was something wrong with the bed.
