Lu Pinghai had just arrived at the barracks with the army in the afternoon. He wanted to make a move at the crucial moment, but he didn't expect the barracks to be destroyed on the first night. This made him feel rather unlucky.
He came out of his tent and looked at the chaotic barracks. He was still pondering whether he should head out of Tiesuo Pass or return to Great Xia. He preferred the latter option, but he didn't fulfill his promise to the emperor of Great Xia and felt a little embarrassed.
Although the keepsake used by the other party was a joke when he was young, he didn't expect that someone would know its use and find him after so many years. However, since the keepsake was in the other party's hands, he would help him do three things if the other party could afford it.
At the thought of this, Lu Pinghai reminisced about the past. Old people were always like this. At that time, he had just entered the martial arts world. He stayed in a very strange inn and was hired to help people kill.
He remembered that the first person who hired him paid a basket of eggs and a pair of shoes.
At that time, he didn't even have shoes.
His attacks were fast and ruthless enough, so it didn't take long for him to earn the nickname of Quick Sword.
Later, he left the inn because of a sentence from a very good-looking man.
After so many years, he had forgotten the man's appearance. He only remembered his eyes, which were as clear as a child's.
And that man's name, Ye Qiu.
Later, he made a name for himself and met that man again. He gave him a puppet that he carved. It was that man. He said that as long as the other party could afford it, he would help him do three things.
Unfortunately, that man didn't look for him. Then, he heard that he was dead.
He avenged him, but only lost a finger. From then on, he could no longer use a sword, and Quick Sword Lu Qi disappeared.
Instead, he was replaced by Lu Qi with Nine Fingers.
Later, no one called him Nine Fingers or Lu Qi anymore.
Everyone only knew him as the eighth most powerful expert in the world, Lu Pinghai.
Just as he was reminiscing about the journey to the west, the surrounding Great Xia soldiers all ran away and were replaced by a group of tall and burly winged cavalry warriors. Their arms were big enough to run a horse and their fists were big enough to stand on.
Then, there was no then.
Lu Pinghai discovered the empress when she appeared in the sky. If he couldn't discover her at such a close distance, then he would be one of the top ten experts in the world.
He merely glanced at the empress in the air before using his sleeves to form a long rod and striking the chests of the two winged cavalry warriors. The two winged cavalry warriors immediately flew backward and spat out blood.
A moment ago, this pair of sleeves had transformed into a saber, a spear, a sword, and a staff …
His divine weapon was precisely this pair of sleeves, and it was known as the Thousand Silk Sleeves. It could change into tens of thousands of different forms, and it could be used as he wished.
After sending the two winged cavalry warriors flying, Lu Pinghai flew backward.
"Lu Qi, I was worried that I couldn't find you. Today, I shall send you to heaven!" The empress nocked an arrow and shot.
As soon as he left, a hole of unknown depth appeared on the ground. Only then did the surrounding people feel the wind brought by the bone arrows blowing on their faces, and a series of explosion-like sounds.
The arrow was faster than sound.
"Qi …" Lu Pinghai only managed to utter a single word before his silhouette flickered. Several bone arrows left a row of holes in the ground behind him.
"Zi …" Lu Pinghai squeezed out a word from between his teeth before continuing to flee. Several more holes appeared on the ground behind him.
"Xiao …" Lu Pinghai dragged his voice as he fled.
The quiver in the empress's hands was half empty. Her speed was almost the same as Ren Baqian's machine gun.
"Crazy woman!" Before Lu Pinghai could finish his sentence, he was showered with arrows. He cursed in his heart and broke into a run.
The empress landed on the ground first. When a few winged cavalry warriors saw her, they immediately cupped their hands and greeted, "Your Majesty!"
Following which, the empress disappeared like the wind, along with the quiver of five or six winged cavalry warriors.
Lu Pinghai stayed close to the ground, and his speed was so fast that the surrounding people couldn't see him clearly. On the other hand, every time the empress leaped into the air and shot half of the quiver, she would jump up again after landing. She was like a goshawk hunting for a wild rabbit, and her eyes were glued to Lu Pinghai's back.
The sound of arrows exploding in the air traveled from the center of the barracks to the north.
After the empress shot the arrows, she hung the bow on her back. Her whole body began to turn red, and streaks of purple tattoo-like lines appeared on her face. Her speed immediately increased by several notches.
"Qi Zixiao! Hong Wu isn't dead yet. How much hatred do you have? " Lu Pinghai felt that something was amiss. He turned around and saw the lines on the empress's face from afar. She was chasing after him at a speed that was 30% faster than his.
Although he didn't know the specific martial arts of Qi Zixiao, he had heard of this situation. This was clearly a secret technique used by aboriginals to burn their blood essence when they were fighting for their lives!
That day, Hong Wu used this technique. If he didn't drag it out until Hong Wu was exhausted, he was afraid that his injuries would have been more serious than Hong Wu's.
Qi Zixiao burned her blood essence the moment she saw him. How much hatred did she have?
Furthermore, this kind of secret technique was also divided into different grades. The higher the grade, the longer the duration, and the lesser the repercussions. He didn't think that the empress's martial arts would be inferior to Hong Wu's, so his heart suddenly trembled.
The empress's face was ice-cold. Without saying a word, she stomped hard on the ground. A rock the size of a fork-horned cow was first covered with cracks, and then with a loud bang, it shattered into pieces.
If I say I'm going to kill you, then I'm definitely going to kill you!
The two of them chased and fled, getting further and further away from Liao City. The distance between the empress and Lu Pinghai was less than 20 meters. Lu Pinghai had no choice but to turn around and exchange a punch with the empress. After that, he flew backward and borrowed the force of the collision to increase the distance between them.
However, every collision made him feel as if he was swung by a giant hammer.
Now, he knew why Hua Sanliu died in the hands of Qi Zixiao. Not only was she extremely strong, but she was also extremely fast. It was extremely difficult to escape.
Now, it depended on how long Qi Zixiao's secret technique could last.
Previously, Hong Wu lasted for an hour. He didn't know how long Qi Zixiao could last.
If Qi Zixiao didn't know when to stop, when the time came, Ren Baqian would capture her and send her to the emperor of Great Xia.
After another two hours, Lu Pinghai had already vomited three mouthfuls of blood. However, Qi Zixiao still didn't have the slightest intention of giving up the chase.
At this time, the sky had already started to brighten.
In front of the two of them was a continuous stretch of barracks.
If one were to look from the sky, they would be able to see that this huge barracks surrounded a city.
In two hours, the two of them ran from Liao City to Tiesuo Pass.
Looking at the barracks in the distance, Lu Pinghai's mind was racing. If they saw his situation, he would really lose face.
However, with Qi Zixiao's current situation, he didn't know how long she could continue the chase, but he was almost at his limit.
Running from Liao City to Tiesuo Pass in two hours!
It was a full 400 kilometers.
At this time, the speed of the two of them was less than 30% of their initial speed. However, under such circumstances, they still ran more than 400 kilometers in two hours. Furthermore, they had to cross over mountains and ridges. Even a Spirit Wheel expert couldn't afford such exhaustion.
"Qi Zixiao is here! Help her quickly! " Lu Pinghai seized the opportunity to shout. However, this breath of air caused him to slow down. He turned around and used his sleeves to block six consecutive punches from the empress. While vomiting blood in the air, he fell toward the barracks in front of him.
Lu Pinghai's shout alarmed countless people in the Great Xia barracks. Immediately, there was a commotion, and dozens of figures immediately jumped out of the barracks.
"It's Lu Pinghai and Qi Zixiao!" the people who jumped out of the barracks exclaimed upon seeing the two of them.
"She's exhausted from running from Liao City to here in two hours. Quickly attack," Lu Pinghai shouted while vomiting blood. He felt extremely bitter. This Qi Zixiao was actually so powerful!
As soon as he said this, those figures immediately became restless.
Furthermore, two more figures landed outside the barracks. When the others saw them, they felt confident. Although they weren't the top ten experts, they were still Spirit Wheel experts.
Normally, they wouldn't be able to defeat Qi Zixiao. However, after running from Liao City to here in two hours, Qi Zixiao was probably at the end of her rope.
"Attack!" someone shouted, and dozens of figures rushed toward the two of them.
The empress didn't care and stared at Lu Pinghai. The purple veins on her face became denser and darker. Drops of blood seeped out from the surface of her skin.
When Lu Pinghai saw her like this, he really wanted to curse in his heart. Was there a need to be so desperate? What kind of hatred and resentment did she have? Wasn't it enough to chase him for two hours? Now that she was at the end of her rope, she even burned her blood essence?
At this point, the empress didn't care about anyone else. After catching up with Lu Pinghai, she sent him flying with a series of punches. Then, she leaped into the air and stepped on Lu Pinghai's body as he flew backward. With a loud bang, she landed in the Great Xia barracks.
Lu Pinghai smashed a hole in the ground. Blood spurted out from his mouth and nose, but he was still able to turn over and jump out. Then, he broke into a run.
He could tell that Qi Zixiao wasn't just risking her life. She was simply exchanging her life!
The empress caught up with Lu Pinghai again, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and kept rushing forward.
Tents, fences, turrets, and everything else were like paper. Under the impact of the empress's charge, they were all smashed into pieces.
Lu Pinghai was vomiting blood while making intimate contact with all kinds of things.
Looking from the sky, the empress looked like a yellow dragon behind her.
The empress and Lu Pinghai were the heads of the dragon.
Beside the yellow dragon, there were dozens of people chasing after it. Two of the Spirit Wheel experts used weapons. One of them used a sword while the other raised his hand. A one-meter long wooden pillar appeared in the air and crashed into the empress's back.
The empress didn't seem to care at all. After being hit three times in a row, her speed increased with each hit. However, on the third hit, she also vomited blood.
At this point in time, the empress looked extremely horrifying. Her exposed skin was almost covered with purple veins. Tiny beads of blood seeped out of her skin and dyed her white inner clothes red.
However, she held onto Lu Pinghai tightly and didn't let him move an inch. She carried him as she charged forward, creating a straight line in the Great Xia barracks. Human bodies, fences, city gates, houses, and courtyard walls … Just like a bulldozer, everything in front of her was destroyed.
Just like that, she crashed into Tiesuo Pass …
Hong Wu felt that the aura outside was somewhat familiar. Just as he came out of the residence, he saw a red figure carrying a person as it charged in front of him. The figure knocked him to the ground, passed through the residence, and headed from the south to the north gate.
Hong Wu was almost scared to death. He hurriedly chased after the empress and shouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
However, the empress couldn't hear him at this point. Her eyes had turned completely black, and not a trace of light could be seen.
