The rims of Ao Xie Yun's eyes turned red as he thought of this.
The people who had been protecting him had died one after another. Now, he was the only one left! He had thoroughly lost everything he could rely on!
His clan was too far away!
He was only one person at the moment. He was only Ao Xie Yun! He wasn't the Grand Duke of Ao Clan. He wasn't the number one expert of the younger generation! He wasn't that distinguished and elegant Grand Duke Xie either.
He was only a person who was being chased and fleeing! There were thousands of people behind him. Thousands of experts were chasing him and intercepting him. They wanted to kill him!
Ao Xie Yun had unearthed all his potential in this extremely bad situation!
Du Qing Yun had sacrificed himself heroically for fifteen days! Ao Xie Yun had wanted to cry countless times in these short fifteen days. But, he knew that he couldn't cry. The smell of his tears couldn't be concealed from Ou Du Xiao who was from the Poison Spirit Clan!
He could only abandon everything, including grief and anger, and escape with all his strength! He had to use all his wisdom to carve out his own path of survival.
These fifteen days had felt like fifteen years to him! In fact, it had felt even longer than fifteen years!
He had self-taught himself how to run with all his strength. He had also learned how to hide his body odor and sweat. He had also learned how to use a small blade of grass to cover his entire body. He had also learned how to use the special features of mountains and rivers. He had also learned how to use the refraction of sunlight to create the illusion of his own invisibility. So, he had escaped from the encirclement …
These were all things that he would never have dreamed of before.
He now knew that Ao Clan was the number one clan. But, it still couldn't scare people! Ao Clan was nothing special. And, he was nothing special either!
Ao Clan had been destroyed. And, it had also been reduced to rubble. So, he would've also become a stinky piece of land if he had died! He would've been no different from a beggar who had to kneel at the feet of others every day.
Everyone was equal in front of the urn! (This sentence had suddenly come to realization when he had written it here.)
Ao Xie Yun had been besieged and chased more than a hundred times in these fifteen days. He had thought that he would die dozens of times. But, he had managed to escape by the skin of his teeth every time.
He had finally felt a sense of 'safety' in the depths of his heart as he felt the warm and cool river water wrapping around his battered body. However, this sense of safety couldn't withstand a single blow!
At this moment, he finally had time to think about some things.
Ao Xie Yun recalled the deaths of Du Qing Yun and Qin Zhan in the end, and grief welled up in his heart. Du Qing Yun and Qin Zhan shouldn't have died so early. But they still chose to die. Why?
Du Qing Yun and Qin Zhan knew that they were going to die this time when the enemy was still pursuing them on a large scale.
Therefore, they wanted to promote Ao Xieyun's growth one last time before they died!
After all, the escape of three people was not as small a target as a single person.
Everything would be fine as long as Ao Xie Yun could escape!
However, with the two of them by his side, even if Ao Xieyun didn't want to rely on them at all, they were still an invisible form of support. He can't unleash his potential! That way, when the enemy really chased them to the end of the line, everything would be over.
Therefore, Du Qing Yun and Qin Zhan began to sharpen Ao Xie Yun through actual combat and autonomous escape. As long as Ao Xie Yun could comprehend it and grasp its true essence, his chances of escaping alone would be ten times greater than the three of them together!
Therefore, Du Qing Yun had chosen to die when there was no need to sacrifice himself!
[Only leave the Young Lord behind!]
[We're disloyal if we abandon you when there's hope!] [But, we're even more responsible if we abandon you to die when there's no hope!]
[We'll use our hot blood to burn your soul!] [We'll use our life and death to unleash your potential!]
These were words that the two old men hadn't said, and wouldn't have said. But, Ao Xie Yun had heard them from his own heart.
Tears silently slid down, and melted into the water. Ao Xie Yun dared to shed tears only on such a night and in such an environment.
Even shedding tears had become a luxury in this kind of escape!
The river water was gushing. Ao Xie Yun was trying his best to relax his body. He was trying his best to heal his injuries, and to recover every bit of his physical strength.
Suddenly, a sense of danger arose in his heart. Ao Xie Yun immediately held his breath, and his body silently slid down the river. His toes stiffened, and he seemed to have touched a big rock at the bottom of the river. Ao Xie Yun's heart skipped a beat, and he silently floated over. He stretched out his hand, and there was indeed a big rock in the water. Moreover, there was a small empty space below it. The river water had formed a whirlpool there, and it continued to flow downwards.
Ao Xieyun carefully controlled himself. He made full use of the impact of the water flow to squeeze his body under the big rock with great difficulty. He carefully extended his reed pipe out of the water … and stopped moving.
As the river water continued to flow downwards, he would reach the shallow water sooner or later. If he was discovered, he would die without a doubt. Moreover, the sun was about to rise. Once the day came, he would be a live target in the river water!
He had just hidden himself when suddenly, there were a few whooshing sounds, and a few people landed on the shore. Following that, the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind could be heard. There were at least a few dozen people here.
"Did you discover anything?" A low voice asked. This voice had passed through the water, and had reached Ao Xie Yun's ears. It sounded quite strange. But, Ao Xie Yun still recognized whose voice it was!
Black Devil!
It was the voice of the Young Black Devil!
"Sure enough, you are here!" Ao Xie Yun secretly clenched his teeth under the big rock. However, he didn't dare to move. In fact, he even controlled his heartbeat and pulse to slow down.
Now, these life and death enemies were right above his head. He would have no way out if he was discovered!
"I didn't discover anything," another person replied. His voice was full of suspicion. Ao Xie Yun could imagine this person's frowning and bewildered appearance even though they were separated by the river water.
Ou Du Xiao!
Ao Xie Yun's heart was spasming under the water. He roared!
This was his former friend and companion …
"Didn't you say that it was foolproof? How long has it been? "another voice snorted.
Meng Luo!
"This matter is indeed very strange! I used to sprinkle some 'Thousand Days Scars' on Ao Xie Yun's body every once in a while when we were together. It wasn't as exaggerated as' Thousand Days', but that smell wouldn't disappear for a year. And, that smell couldn't be smelled by other people … We used this smell to kill all of their people during this time. So, how did Ao Xie Yun suddenly lose this smell? "Ou Du Xiao suspiciously said.
Ao Xie Yun couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood underwater.
[Everything is because of me!]
[Ou Du Xiao has been preparing to deal with me since a long time ago. He has been scheming for a long time …]
[It's no wonder that he has always been able to coincidentally bump into me at any place.] [Then, we would do some things together … I had always thought that I was destined to meet him. Moreover, Ou Du Xiao had been very sincere at that time. He had always followed my lead. He had always been considerate of me.] [Therefore, I would always call him whenever something good happened. For example, that gambling on Mt. Dingjun …]
[I lost that gambling. But, I had done it out of kindness. So, there's no doubt about it!]
[Who would've thought that all of this would lead to a merciless pursuit?!] [And, all of these coincidences, and all of these accurate pursuits … the root of all of this lies in Ou Du Xiao's words — Sprinkle some Thousand Days Scars on my body every once in a while!]
[It's because of me!] [I've always harmed them!]
Ao Xie Yun's remorseful heart was bleeding whenever he thought about how the pursuers would quickly catch up with him every time he tried to escape. [Why didn't I think of this earlier?]
He then heard a voice from above, "You're worthy of being called the Poison Spirit. Ao Xie Yun is very lucky to have a friend like you in this generation! I presume that Brother Ou has also flattered Ao Xie Yun a lot, right? Haha, Ao Xie Yun has always been conceited about his wisdom and strategy. But, I didn't expect that Brother Ou would play with him in the palm of his hand for so many years. Brother Ou is indeed a genius. "
This voice was somewhat rampant. It was the voice of the Tu Clan's Young Clan Lord, Tu Qian Hao.
Ou Du Xiao's somewhat angry voice said, "Nonsense! Who wouldn't guard against each other at our level and status? Our entire clan might be destroyed if we make a careless move! Who would dare to act rashly? You only know that I secretly attacked Ao Xie Yun. Does Ao Xie Yun really regard me as a brother? "
He angrily said, "How many people would dare to show their backs to the other person even if we are standing together now? Tu Qian Hao, what do you mean by this? "
Tu Qian Hao snorted. He was about to speak when Meng Luo hurriedly interjected, "Brother Ou's actions are understandable. After all, everything is for the clan. Besides, it was Brother Ou's unintentional act back then that allowed us to hunt him down so smoothly this time. At the very least, you've made a great contribution. "
Tu Qian Hao didn't speak anymore.
Ao Xie Yun gently sighed at the bottom of the water. Then, he laughed at himself, [Ou Du Xiao, I don't regard you as a real brother. But, there was a time when I genuinely wanted to marry you …]
"But, Ao Xie Yun has disappeared now. Brother Ou understands this' Thousand Days Mark 'the best. So, you might as well speculate under what circumstances this' Thousand Days Mark 'will disappear?"
Ou Du Xiao said from above, "He would've had to stay in the water for at least a day in order to get rid of the smell of the 'Thousand Days Mark'! That's because this smell has penetrated deep into his skin. And, it has already fused with his own smell.
"There's another possibility. And, he would've stayed in the water, and let the clear water isolate the spread of the smell. Ao Xie Yun didn't have time to soak in the water for a day during our pursuit. According to the various traces, Ao Xie Yun should've fallen into the water after rolling down the hillside … There's a river here. And, Ao Xie Yun should've been in the river. That's why I've lost my senses! "
Ao Xie Yun's heart fiercely jumped underwater. His face turned deathly pale!
...
His lumbar spine felt uncomfortable and stiff after sitting for seven or eight hours. I'll go out and find a massage therapist. I only need thirty votes to reach the top. Brothers and sisters, please lend me a hand! Thank you!
