One minute … Two minutes … Ten minutes …
More and more blood flowed out of his body, but he still did not fall. His vision blurred by the blood, he stared at the west and walked forward step by step. Every time his consciousness started to blur, he would fiercely bite the tip of his tongue. He could die … but he could not let Ningxue be hurt.
Three spears flew towards his feet from three directions. He jumped up, swung his sword, and drew a bloody arc. While in the air, hundreds of arrows that were ready to be shot shot at him at the same time, like locusts passing by. Ye Wuchen used his sword qi to deflect all of them, and at the same time, he threw out two Sky Tremor Bombs, blowing up dozens of archers.
When he landed on the ground, his body staggered. When he steadied himself, he had already put away the Star Slashing Sword in his hand. Fire elements quickly gathered, and he threw out a fireball that was compressed to the extreme.
The small fireball caused a mid-range explosion, turning the area in front of him into a sea of fire. For a moment, the horses were in chaos, and the people were shocked. Shrill screams and screams overlapped, almost piercing through the night sky. Ye Wuchen used both hands to hold Ningxue tightly, and dragged his heavy body into the flames.
The thick flames covered Ye Wuchen's body, and also burned a large number of people to death. In the flames, three black balls flew together, flying towards the cavalry, bringing with them three large pieces of flesh and blood. Then, another three flew out, blowing up all the cavalry in the front, and finally … a total of ten Sky Tremor Bombs flew in front of him.
The cavalry, who had experienced the terrifying power of these firearms, fled in fear, wanting to hide, but what awaited them were still ten overlapping explosions. This explosion caused the earth to tremble, and ten evenly arranged flames became the last color in the lives of more than two hundred cavalry.
Finally, a gap appeared in the thick cavalry. Ye Wuchen quickly rushed out, kicking away a cavalry, and rode on the horse. He threw out a few flames to force back the cavalry around him and in front of him, breaking out of the encirclement, and galloped forward.
Pain, dizziness, weakness … he kept biting the tip of his tongue, trying to keep himself awake. The horse under him had become his last hope.
The pursuers behind him were like a surging tide, stretching as far as the eye could see. His right hand flung out another five Sky Tremor Bombs, blowing up the few waves of cavalry closest to him and temporarily increasing the distance between them.
"Fire!"
There was a loud shout behind him, followed by the sound of bows being drawn. Ye Wuchen used his trembling hands to hold the last three Sky Tremors, and when the first arrow was released, he threw them three times to the back.
With the first bomb, there was an explosion and dozens of screams. More than half of the archers closest to Ye Wuchen were blown up. Those at the back couldn't rein in their horses in time and were tripped over. Amidst the trampling, chaos ensued. The second bomb followed closely behind, blowing up the group that was lucky enough to survive. Once again, chaos ensued. The frightened horses became even more confused, and they began to gallop around without any sense of direction.
The third bomb flew far away at the sound of a sharp whistle. It shot towards the place where the cavalry troop was the most concentrated. It stirred up chaos again, and firmly delayed the entire troop's forward speed.
The three Sky Tremor Bombs almost exhausted all of Ye Wuchen's remaining strength. He swung his sword lightly and stabbed the horse's buttocks. The war horse under him felt pain, and in addition to the three explosions, it ran forward desperately. However, it was this gentle swing of the sword that made Ye Wuchen's entire body paralyzed on the horse. The Star Slashing Sword in his hand that had already extinguished its flames fell from his hand. Before it fell to the ground, it transformed into a streak of golden light and shot into the space between his brows.
Even though the cavalry was strong, and their charge on the battlefield could be described as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, but their weakness was equally obvious. If the war horses were all frightened, this cavalry troop would collapse without a fight. On the other hand, the Hua family's firearms, whether it was the Lei Zhenzi that exploded in a small area, or the Sky Tremor Bomb that exploded in a medium area, would have a few times more effective against the cavalry. Injuring the men was secondary, and scaring the horses was the priority. The reason why Ye Wuchen was able to break out of the encirclement earlier, other than the flames in a medium area, was mainly because he relied on the Sky Tremor Bombs to keep the cavalry busy.
At this moment, the three Sky Tremor Bombs caused more than a hundred casualties among the cavalry. However, the number of casualties caused by the trampling on each other far exceeded this number. When they finally adjusted, Ye Wuchen was already a hundred meters away.
In the Gale Imperial Palace, Feng Lie threw the binoculars onto the ground ferociously. The muscles on his face twitched continuously. The bloody massacre did not move him. He thought that he could immediately make Ye Wuchen, who was drowned by the crowd, die of exhaustion. However, he did not expect that in such a huge sea of people, Ye Wuchen could actually forcefully tear an opening and escape. A few firearms with astonishing power had even further increased the distance between them.
"This person … Is he still human … Why, wasn't he born in my Feng family …"
Feng Lie gritted his teeth ferociously. The shock in his heart was already indescribable. Killing the God of War, escaping the imperial palace, charging out of the army, and escaping again after being bathed in blood … In his arms, he was still carrying an unharmed young girl. How many more terrifying things were hidden in his body?
And beside him, Feng Ling had already left at some point. This was because the direction in which Ye Wuchen had escaped had determined his fate.
The blood mixed with the sweat that had already soaked his entire body flowed down in streams, dripping onto the horse's body and the ground. Ye Wuchen no longer had the strength to straighten his body and collapsed on the horse's back. Only the hand that was hugging Ningxue was still so strong and did not let go. It had been too long, and his left arm had already become stiff.
"Brother … Are you in pain …" Tears welled up in Ningxue's eyes. She, who normally did not even dare to step on an ant to death, did not feel a trace of fear in the bloody massacre and heart-wrenching screams. Because even if she really died, she would die together with her brother. What was there to be afraid of?
She only hated herself. She hated herself for not being able to do anything. If she could be half as powerful as Oculum, she would not be a burden to him like this.
After waiting for a long time, she did not receive an answer. Thus, she quietly moved closer to him, closed her eyes, and did not disturb him anymore.
Regardless of whether it was the cavalry in front of them or the city guards that filled the sky behind them, they did not give up on the chase. Like a huge wave, they used all their strength to chase away a small grain of sea sand. However, at this moment, not a single one of them felt relaxed. Instead, they felt a chill in their hearts … He was the person who defeated the God of War, and he was a true devil … Three thousand cavalry and twenty thousand city guards were actually unable to stop him. Instead, they suffered heavy casualties, and the ground was covered with blood and severed limbs.
However, even if he was a true god, a true devil still had his limits. Moreover … every single one of them knew that the path he had chosen was a path of true despair.
The sky grew darker and the thin moon in the sky became brighter and brighter. The eastern part of Tianfeng City was as quiet as before. Ye Shuiyao's body was curled up, and she quietly sat in the withered grass. She did not move at all. The longer she waited, the colder her body and heart became. Every second felt so long.
"Little Chen …" She silently called out and prayed in her heart. In her entire life, she had never been as worried and afraid as she was right now.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wuchen's blurry vision and consciousness became a little clearer. Behind him, there was still a huge army in hot pursuit. Although the distance between them had not shortened, they did not have the slightest intention of stopping. Arrows continuously flew towards him from behind. However, because they were too far away, they would fall before they could reach his back.
At this moment, as long as there was a decent expert in the army, they could easily catch up and kill Ye Wuchen.
"Xue 'er, are you alright?" He propped himself up with difficulty, and a weak voice came out of his mouth. His voice was so hoarse and weak that he could barely hear himself. Just now, Ning Xue's delicate body had been pressed under him.
"Yes … Big Brother."
"Ah!! Master! In front … Quick, look in front! Be careful!! "
Nan 'er suddenly let out a terrified scream, causing Ye Wuchen's heart to tremble violently. He concentrated and looked ahead … In front of him, there was a stretch of pitch-black darkness that stretched forward without an end in sight.
In an instant, a name that everyone in the Tianchen Continent knew appeared in Ye Wuchen's mind. The forbidden area of Gale Country, a frightening length, width, and depth — Soul Breaking Abyss!
It … was actually in the west of Tianfeng City!
The horse under him did not stop, and continued to madly gallop forward. Under Ye Wuchen's widened eyes, it galloped towards the pitch-black cliff in front of him … Finally, its front hooves missed, and it fell down …
Ye Wuchen fiercely gritted his teeth, and with a push of his feet, his body turned around, and he landed on the edge of the cliff with Ning Xue in his arms. The horse let out a long neigh and fell into the bottomless abyss, disappearing in the blink of an eye … In the long period of silence, there was no sound of falling.
That horse, was originally Ye Wuchen's last hope to escape, and this long Soul Breaking Abyss had completely cut off this last hope. For a moment, even the gentle wind and the gloomy moonlight were filled with despair and desolation.
Ye Wuchen trembled as he stood up. If he took one more step back, he would fall into the abyss, and there would be no way back. Looking at the army in front of him that was constantly approaching, he just stared blankly.
Oculum was still very far away from him, and his breath was equally weak. He had conquered Oculum with the power of his soul, and there had always been a soul connection and connection between them. Therefore, even though they were separated by a long distance, they could still sense each other's position and condition.
This time, he was facing true despair, and there was no room for turning back.
"Big Brother, are you cold?" Ning Xue used her hands to touch his cold face and chest, and asked worriedly.
One hundred meters … Fifty meters … Thirty meters …
The madly galloping cavalry troops were getting closer and closer, and their swords and spears reflected a cold light. The cavalry archers had also drawn their bows, but they did not shoot immediately. When he chose this direction, he had already determined this outcome. Behind the cavalry, the city guards did not relax at all, and followed closely behind …
"Cher … Do you want to see a meteor shower?" Ye Wuchen's eyes were unfocused, and he muttered as he looked ahead absentmindedly.
Ning Xue raised her head, and nodded lightly.
