The sky in the east was turning white, but the stars were still awake, so they could still see clearly.
In the cave covered by old vines, a brightly colored mosquito rested on the soft, snow-white face of a curled body. Her pretty face was full of deep fatigue. Although she was still gorgeous, it was difficult to hide her haggardness.
It had been four days and three nights since they escaped from Yongling. It was a huge test of physical strength and endurance.
Four hours ago, Tang Sanghua had defeated a wave of pursuers and found this cave. She had planned to rest for a while before leaving, but her body couldn't bear it and she fell into a deep sleep.
As soon as the mosquito popped out of the straw, Tang Sanghua was awakened. She quickly and accurately crushed it into meat paste, then casually wiped her hands on the rock wall.
She pitifully looked at the remains of the mosquito on the rock wall. "You are to me, just like I am to the pursuers. Maybe you are like me, with the ability to see through the sky and the earth, but trapped in a small body and unable to use it, so I easily crushed you. Fortunately, I am different from you. I will definitely escape from this damn place. I am the Queen of Bu Luo City. "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh —
At this moment, a shrill sound of breaking air came.
Tang Sanghua quickly sat up straight, her right hand swept through the void, and grabbed the silkworm halfway. The blade reflected a sharp light in her eyes, and then she turned, flattened the blade, and split an arrow in the middle.
Her body suddenly spun like the wind, stirring up a storm in the small cave. A large number of arrows almost brushed past her body. When she landed, her feet suddenly touched the ground, leaving a footprint as big as the mouth of a bowl, and her body shot out faster than the arrows.
The second wave of arrows followed.
Tang Sanghua quickly dodged in the air, using her eyesight to the extreme. She remembered most of the arrows' trajectories and turned behind an old tree. When the arrows stopped, she immediately rushed out. Her body movement was not particularly fast, but it seemed to be specially created for the terrain of the forest. She flashed strangely between the trees, and those with poor eyesight couldn't see where she was hiding.
Tang Sanghua didn't hide, but chose to attack.
After dazzling the shooter's eyes, she quietly climbed up a tree and stared at the shooter on another tree like a venomous snake hunting its prey.
"Where are you hiding?" someone asked.
"I didn't see it!"
"Search! The signal has already been sent out. Lord Lan will arrive in less than a quarter of an hour. As long as we can hold on for a quarter of an hour, promotion and riches won't be a dream! "
"Then you can dream in hell!"
The archer only felt a chill on his neck. He was terrified, and before he could even cry out in alarm, his throat had already been slit.
Tang Sanghua leapt backwards into a towering tree, leaving the rain of arrows behind him.
"Over there!"
The Judicial Department was indeed well-trained. With shrill roars, some supreme court officers charged towards that tree and locked onto Tang Sanghua from all directions regardless of the risk of being raided. Half of the archers dropped their bows and opened a black net, ready to capture Tang Sanghua at any time. The other half of the archers were ready to shoot mercilessly at the slightest movement of Tang Sanghua.
Rustle!
With the sound of rustling leaves, a black shadow rushed out from the tree.
"Do it!"
Over ten sabers quickly slashed at Tang Sanghua in a suicidal manner. As long as one of the sabers hit, it would be their victory.
However, that black shadow was just a pine cone.
Rustle!
With the sound of rustling leaves, a black shadow rushed out from the tree.
The supreme court officers were shocked, thinking that Tang Sanghua had used a bait. This time, it should be Tang Sanghua herself. With an angry roar, the black net firmly caught the black shadow.
"Squeak —"
It turned out to be a squirrel chasing after the pine cone, darting left and right in the net in a panic.
"Oh no!"
Finally, they realized that something was wrong. As expected, Tang Sanghua rushed out like a hungry wolf pouncing on a flock of sheep, causing a bloody storm among the supreme court officers who were holding sabers.
In a few blinks of an eye, the ten or so supreme court officers were all killed with their throats slit.
Bright red blood sprayed all over Tang Sanghua's body, except for her beautiful face, which was still clean.
"Outsider spies, die!"
The supreme court officers who had pounced on the net drew out their short sabers and rushed forward without any regard for their lives.
Most of these supreme court officers were high-level martial artists in the Jianghu. One or a few of them couldn't pose a threat to a cultivator of Tang Sanghua's level. However, if dozens of them attacked at the same time without any regard for their lives, it would be a little terrifying.
With Tang Sanghua's current strength, he still couldn't reach the state of "not even a leaf touching his body". After killing the seventeenth supreme court officer, his left arm was hit by an arrow, which directly pierced through the bones of his hand.
At the moment, there were only eleven shooters left standing. Although their faces were pale because of fear, none of them retreated.
"How did Li Yong train you? Each of you is like a sacrificial soldier, endlessly!"
Standing where he was, Tang Sanghua took two deep breaths. He lowered his body, spun and dashed forward, climbing up the nearest tree with movements that were more agile than the Spirit Monkey. With a swipe of the Silkworm Saber, the throat of the shooter on the tree was slit.
On the branch, his feet paused for a moment to catch his breath. Then, he leaped with all his strength, spinning like a shuttle in the air, blocking another wave of arrows. As he landed, he suddenly rushed to the shooter behind another tree. The Silkworm Saber completely pierced through his throat. Blood burst out from the back of his neck, forming a flower on the grass behind him.
At this moment, the first ray of light from the east shone on the flower. It was extremely enchanting.
"If you don't want to leave, then stay!" The murderous intent in Tang Sanghua's eyes was fierce. He turned around and knocked away an arrow. Then, his body shook and he rushed to the next shooter.
The shooter's hand was reaching for his quiver, but he touched nothing. He couldn't help but reveal a frightened expression.
"Oh, no more arrows. What a pity." Tang Sanghua smiled charmingly at him.
"Ah!" The shooter screamed in horror. Like a cornered dog jumping over a wall, he pulled out his short saber and rushed over.
However, just as Tang Sanhua relaxed, the archer suddenly let out a sinister laugh. His originally disorderly movement technique suddenly changed, becoming unbelievably fast. With one hand holding the dagger and the other on the hilt, he shot towards Tang Sanhua's chest like an arrow.
"So you're the leader of this Flag Battalion!"
Although Tang Sanghua was shocked, she didn't panic. At the critical moment, she stopped her momentum and twisted her body. But she didn't completely dodge. The short saber slashed through her left collarbone and down to her arm. At the same time, the Silkworm Saber cut through the shooter's throat like lightning.
The highest ranking official in the Judicial Department was the Commander. Below him were two Commander Tongzhi, each in charge of two Zhangqi. One Zhangqi was in charge of four Zhangqi, one Zhangqi was in charge of three Zhangqi, one Zhangqi was in charge of three Zhangqi, and one Zhangqi was in charge of five Ting Wei.
The Court Officer was the lowest rank in the Judicial Department, which was also the ninth rank. There were forty-five Court Officers in a Flag Battalion, which was the group Tang Sanghua encountered.
Each Flag Commander was a Level Four Martial Artist. Of course, they weren't strong enough to fight against a Level Two Martial Artist. But they left a wound on Tang Sanghua's body. This time, there were a total of eight Cang Qi hunting her down. If each of them left a wound on her body, even if she was made of iron, she would not be able to survive. What's more, there were two Zongqi, one Tongzhi, and the unknown Li Jiming.
Tang Sanghua forced herself to circulate her Qi. She left the remaining shooters and dashed into the dense forest, trying her best to shake off the pursuers.
An hour later, she stopped on a dry rock, panting. She observed her surroundings before sitting down. She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pulled out the arrow that had pierced through her arm. Bean-sized beads of sweat rolled down her pale face. Her bloodless lips trembled in pain.
She took out some medicine and poured it on the wound. Then, she tore off a piece of her sleeve and bound the wound.
She took a breath and pointed the bottle at the wound on her left collarbone. She gritted her teeth and applied the medicine. Fortunately, the wound wasn't deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly.
"Few people have lasted more than three days under the Judicial Department's pursuit."
Just as Tang Sanghua was about to continue her escape, an old man in a gray robe appeared in the pit under the rock. He stepped on the small gravel and walked over step by step. He looked up at Tang Sanghua. "You're already an outstanding criminal if you can survive four days. If you surrender now, you might be valued by the Commander and be taken in as a subordinate."
"Xu Muyun!" Tang Sanghua's eyes were cold, but her voice was sweet. "You're already a bag of old bones, and you're still running for thousands of miles. Don't you find it tiring? I'm worried about you. I'm worried about your old bones. You can't go back. "
This person was called Xu Muyun. He was good with the sword and was one of the two Commanders under Lan Yu. He was a second-grade martial artist.
Xu Muyun smiled. "This old man has lived to this age. It's enough for me." He slowly unsheathed his sword, and with a push of his feet, he landed on the rock wall. His feet seemed to have a suction force, and in just two blinks of an eye, he had rushed to the big rock where Tang Sanhua was.
Tang Sanghua didn't know that the pursuers were close at hand. She didn't want to fight. As soon as Xu Muyun jumped onto the rock, she used the force of the collision between him and the sky silkworm to jump back. She jumped off the big rock and went into the jungle.
But Xu Muyun's movement was faster. Almost at the moment she went into the jungle, he had already followed her. The primordial Qi on the sword seemed soft and powerless, but when it cut through the air, there was an illusion that it was broken.
Of course, this was really an illusion. It was just that the primordial Qi attached to the sword was too heavy, and the sword was as fast as lightning.
Tang Sanghua didn't know this person at all. She didn't know that his sword looked so heavy, and he could chase her like he was flying. She immediately suffered a big loss. With a muffled sound, she received a heavy chop on her back. Blood immediately gushed out. She staggered a few steps, couldn't stop her body, and hit a tree.
The violent shock caused the wound that had just been bandaged to split open again.
"Old Xu! If I don't kill you, my surname isn't Tang! " Tang Sanghua gritted her teeth, but there was already a lot of footsteps behind her. If she didn't leave now, it would be too late.
She shouted: "Eat one of my Butterfly Gu!" Saying so, she turned around and threw out an object. Without looking at the result, she immediately turned around and rushed into the forest.
Xu Muyun was shocked. He took a few steps back and used a tree to block the thing. But when the thing fell to the ground, he saw that it was just a candy.
