"Shen Yang?" Lin Muyu was shocked, "How can it be you?"
Shen Yang smiled, the image of a wolf appearing on his shoulder, "My martial soul is a wolf, so I can distinguish and track the scent of blood. I knew you were hiding underground."
"What do you want?" Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes, "Although I'm heavily injured, killing you is still a piece of cake!"
"I know."
Shen Yang sighed, "I know that in Commander Yu's eyes, I, Shen Yang, am a despicable person. I can betray my loyalty in order to live, but … not everyone can face death bravely. I, Shen Yang, don't want to die, so I can only choose to betray. Let's not talk so much. My carriage is not far away, and Commander Yu is hiding in the compartment. I'll think of a way to send you out of Sunset City. Once you're out of the city and over the steel walls, the Yihe Nation won't be able to do anything to you."
"Why should I trust you?" Lin Muyu raised her gaze and asked.
"Do you have any other choice?"
Shen Yang's eyes were like those of a hunting eagle, "It's not difficult for me to use your head to claim credit. I could have killed you just now. Commander Yu, please trust me. I really don't want to see the empire lose a talent like you."
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly, "Let's go. As you said, I have no other choice."
"Yes!"
… …
At dawn, the sky was about to brighten, but the whole of Sunset City was still in a state of chaos. The army barged into the homes of the commoners and searched without restraint. Countless Eagle Patrols screeched in the sky. In order to find Lin Muyu, the Marquis of the Sunset Marquis, Man Ning, had dug three feet into the ground and captured the Nine Heavens. Unfortunately, he did not do so.
A black carriage moved slowly on the main road, heading straight for the northern gate of Sunset City. However, the northern plaza was filled with the Yihe Nation's army, with at least a thousand of them guarding it.
"General Shen Yang, the city is under martial law!" the guard reported respectfully.
Shen Yang sat majestically on the carriage and said, "Shen Yang has received orders from the Marquis to lead three thousand warriors out of the city to kill Lin Muyu in the area between Sunset City and the steel walls. Here … this is the Marquis's personal edict and command arrow."
The general took a careful look with the light of the torch and nodded. "I understand. Men, open the gates!"
But right at this moment, another person appeared and said, "Wait! The Marquis said that no matter who it is, anyone who wants to leave the city needs to be interrogated. General Shen Yang, please forgive me for my disrespect. This Lin Muyu has committed a heinous crime. Not only did he kill Marshal Lv Zhao, he also killed many generals of Yihe Country. He deserves to die! "
"I know."
Shen Yang stood up and said, "Come, let's check!"
"Yes!"
The general walked forward, drew his sword, and searched Shen Yang's carriage. His cold gaze fell on the bottom of the carriage, and he raised his sword to stab it!
"Bang!"
Wood splinters flew everywhere. Shen Yang's heart trembled. "What are you doing? I'm giving you face by letting you search. Don't be so shameless. "
The guard pulled out his sword and examined it carefully. There were no bloodstains on the blade. He smiled and cupped his fists respectfully. "Please forgive me, General. I was just following orders. Alright, General, you may pass."
"Hmph!"
Under Shen Yang's command, the army slowly left the city.
…
"Commander Yu, are you alright?" Shen Yang asked worriedly after leaving the city.
In the mezzanine, Lin Muyu looked at the pierced wooden plank under her armpit and smiled weakly. "I'm fine. Even Lu Zhan didn't kill me. How could a mere guard have such a fate?"
Shen Yang heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's good. You scared me to death. Once we are out of the city, I will leave you in the wild forest. This is as far as Shen Yang can send you. "
"Yes, thank you, General!"
The carriage jolted all the way and only came to a stop after traveling for a long distance. Shen Yang opened the compartment and Lin Muyu jumped out. She looked around and saw Shen Yang's army on the other side of the forest.
"Let's go. Don't let them find us."
"Thank you." Lin Muyu cupped his fists. "I will always remember General Shen Yang's kindness."
Shen Yang's expression was solemn. "No, I am just a lowly traitor. I can only do this to make up for the guilt I have felt for the past three years. Commander Yu, let's go."
"We will meet again if fate wills it."
Lin Muyu disappeared into the forest.
…
In the late autumn, the forest north of the Sunset City was already barren. Lin Muyu's armor was in tatters. He walked through the forest with his sword in hand. The thorns in the forest tore at his armor. He was covered in blood and his stamina was almost depleted. He looked nothing like the handsome general of the Longdan Army Camp.
As he walked, the Spiritual Pulse Art suddenly vibrated. Someone was coming!
Whoosh!
From afar, he saw an arrow flying towards him. Instinctively, he swung his sword backhandedly and knocked the arrow away. In the distance, a group of Yihe cavalry had caught up. One of them shouted, "We've found Lin Muyu. Light up the smoke signal and inform the Marquis! The rest of you, follow me. Chase and cut off Lin Muyu's head. He will be made a marquis! "
"Yes!"
A group of Yihe Nation cavalry chased after him like crazy.
Lin Muyu did not have the strength to turn around and fight back. There were close to 500 Heavy Cavalry soldiers here, she could only kill 30 to 50 of them at most before she would be cut into pieces. Thus, she activated Falling Star Steps and dashed towards the direction of the steel wall like the wind.
On the road, thick smoke billowed. The sky was bright. Marquis Xiyang's bodyguards came out. Even Man Ning came out on a horse.
…
In the distance, the steel wall was getting closer. But more and more Yihe Nation soldiers were coming!
Clang!
Lin Muyu unsheathed the Dragon Spirit Sword and charged into the crowd. She swept past like a whirlwind, leaving dozens of corpses behind her as she headed straight for the steel wall. However, countless Yihe Nation soldiers appeared under the wall. Countless archers raised their longbows, and even the ballistae on the wall were calibrating. The steel arrows on the ballistae were as thick as an arm, and even a god might not be able to withstand the power of one arrow, let alone a mere Sanctuary-realm like her.
"Little dragon, can you use armor?" Lin Muyu asked while killing. He was really worried about Akatosaurus's condition. Otherwise, he would have used armor and flown away.
Akatosaurus's voice came from the soul contract. "Awooo …"
Although the voice was weak, it was a definite answer. He could fly for a short period of time!
"Okay, Fusion Armor!"
Lin Muyu suddenly punched. His spiritual sense penetrated the crack in space. Amidst Akatosaurus's dragon roar, a blood-red color lingered around Lin Muyu, adding layers of dragon scales to his body. At the same time, a large number of red crystal scales gathered on his back, forming a pair of huge dragon wings. Suddenly, the surrounding Yihe Nation soldiers looked as if they had seen a ghost. "God, what's going on?"
A few hundred meters away, Marquis Xiyang, Man Ning, shouted, "Kill him! Don't let Lin Muyu leave the steel wall!"
Instantly, the Yihe Nation soldiers under the wall shot thousands of arrows!
Clang, clang, clang …
Ordinary arrows couldn't hurt Lin Muyu at all. He flapped his wings. Although it was a little difficult, he still rose from the ground and went straight to the top of the wall!
Man Ning was furious. "A bunch of trash … Ding Xi, follow me to the wall!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
Although Man Ning was usually fat and looked like he could die at any time, he was extremely agile now. He reached the top of the steel wall in a few steps, just in time to see Lin Muyu jump over the wall and fly straight to the north, like a bird that had been released.
Ding Xi narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems … we can't catch him."
"Who said so?"
Man Ning gritted his teeth. "Marshal Ding Xi is a rare sharpshooter in South Ridge. He has extraordinary strength. Someone, bring me my Shoot the Sky Bow!"
"Yes, Marquis!"
A guard handed a giant bow to Ding Xi.
"Lin Muyu is a Sanctuary powerhouse. His Battle Armor … can't be pierced by arrows." Ding Xi sighed. "Marquis, please don't make things difficult for me. I … I really can't do it!"
"Don't worry."
Man Ning stretched out his hand and pulled out an arrow from the guard's quiver. The arrowhead of the arrow reflected a cold white light under the morning sun. He laughed: "The White Diamond Arrow can kill gods and demons, let alone a heavily injured Lin Muyu."
"This …" Ding Xi gritted his teeth. "Where did you get this White Diamond Arrow?"
"I pulled it out from the corpses of our volunteers." Man Ning's eyes were cold. "The Yihe Nation suffered a lot from this White Diamond Arrow. Today, I'll let Lin Muyu have a taste of it! Marshal Ding Xi has extraordinary strength and unparalleled archery. If this arrow doesn't hit, it can only mean that you've really committed treason. I'll hand you over to the military law office. "
Ding Xi felt a chill in his heart. He took the arrow, slowly drew the giant bow, and aimed in Lin Muyu's direction. Under the rising sun, Lin Muyu was like a bird trying to fly high.
"Whoosh!"
The arrow left the line. The next moment, in the distance, Lin Muyu's body trembled slightly and fell directly into the jungle.
Man Ning couldn't help but laugh. "Open the gate. The cavalry of Sunset City will attack. It's time to kill Lin Muyu!"
Ding Xi lowered the giant bow in his hand. He stood there in a daze.
…
"Bang!"
Lin Muyu's body fell heavily to the ground. She fell into a maple forest in severe pain. The sorrowful cry of Akatosaurus came from Yi Hai. This arrow had directly pierced through the scales and also through Lin Muyu's chest. Fortunately, it did not hit the heart. Looking at the protruding arrowhead on her chest armor, it was a White Diamond Arrow. At this time, it was stained with her own blood.
"Puff!"
Breaking the arrow, Lin Muyu forcibly pulled out the arrowhead and threw it aside. She gasped for breath and looked like she was about to collapse. She hurriedly took out a bottle of Gold Sore Medicine and applied it to stop the bleeding. She didn't have time to rest. Leaning on her longsword, she ran straight to the north. The north was the territory of the Empire and her hope of survival.
However, it was not easy to run hundreds of miles without a warhorse. Behind her came the sound of the cavalry of Yihe Kingdom. Without hesitation, Lin Muyu turned into the jungle. The efficiency of the cavalry's pursuit in the jungle would be greatly reduced. This was her only hope.
The Dragon Scale Armor on her body slowly dissipated, and Akatosaurus once again fell asleep.
Lin Muyu secretly sighed. This time, if not for Akatosaurus's help, she would not have had the chance to escape.
…
Stumbling through the jungle, the sky suddenly began to rain. Lin Muyu couldn't help but wail in her heart, Even God is not helping me?
