The moment Chi Shou saw Zhang Yu, his heart was filled with anger and despair.
I've come all the way here, why won't you let me go?
Although the Army of God's barracks could be seen as long as he crossed the river, the only way to escape had been blocked. Surrounded by the vast plains, he had no way to escape.
He took a breath, opened his hands, and tried to show his sincerity. He said to the sky, "I admit defeat. You should know that I am no longer a Marquis of the Army of God. Now I am just a team leader. If you let me go, I am willing to pledge my allegiance to Xuanfu."
Zhang Yu looked at him quietly without any response, but the light on the Xia sword beside him was getting brighter and brighter.
He would not accept this person's surrender. It was not difficult to feel from the lake in his heart that this person was still holding on. This person was clearly forced to admit defeat due to the current situation. Presumably, if there was a chance, he would still try to escape.
Moreover, people's hearts could change. Even if this person sincerely surrendered now, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not be shaken in the future. He did not have the means to completely control other people's minds. Keeping him by his side was like raising a poisonous snake.
He would not make this mistake.
Chi Shou did not wait for Zhang Yu's answer. Instead, he saw the scene of the sword light flashing. He knew that the latter would not let him go. He cursed in his heart. With a tap of his foot, his figure suddenly turned into a shadow and floated away. However, he did not go in the direction of the Army of God's barracks, but in the direction of Auspicious Light City.
The Dan River was vast and the waves were turbulent. To go to the barracks, one had to pass through the bridge. However, there was no space to dodge on the bridge. Zhang Yu was still blocking the way. If he rushed there, he would be courting death.
However, Auspicious Light City was different. This place was closer to the Army of God's barracks. Moreover, there were more buildings in the city. If he was lucky enough to run there, he could use it to hide. Once he was in a crowded place, Zhang Yu would not be able to attack him unscrupulously.
Zhang Yu looked at the direction he was retreating in and knew what he was planning. With a thought, the flying sword turned into a beam of light and shot towards him.
Chi Jiao sensed the attack of the flying sword and immediately dodged. Although his movements were not slow, the sword light flashed faster. After a few breaths, a brilliance streaked across his shoulder. The spiritual light there immediately trembled, and a wound appeared on his shoulder.
He stretched out his hand and wiped it to stop the blood from flowing out. During this process, he did not slow down at all because of his strong desire to survive.
At this moment, a mound appeared in front of them.
He saw a few broken pillars and stone walls behind the mound, and a glimmer of hope emerged in his heart. He moved his feet, and dodged another sword light. Then, he tapped his toes, and leaped forward. Just as he was about to hit the thick stone wall, his figure disappeared, and his whole body passed through it like a thin mist.
The flying sword chased closely behind and immediately pierced through the stone wall, but it also slowed down slightly.
After Chi Jiao landed on the ground, he turned around and rushed toward another stone pillar. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into it again.
He originally hoped to use this stone pillar to delay the pursuit of the flying sword, but at this moment, the sword light suddenly sped up. Before he could completely come out of the stone pillar, the sword light pierced through it.
In the next moment, the stone pillar suddenly exploded, turning into fragments that filled the sky. Each fragment was abnormally uniform.
Chi Shou staggered out of the room. He was coughing up blood and his facial features were distorted. His body was flickering between light and darkness, as if he was in a state of intense transition between reality and illusion.
After the flying sword went far away, it turned around and flew back again.
This time, Chi Yao seemed to be seriously injured and couldn't dodge at all. The sword light directly pierced through his body, and he seemed to let out a miserable cry. However, his body seemed to be in another plane, and there was no sound. Only the spirit light on his body shook violently again.
At this time, he seemed to be unable to hold on. He leaned forward and fell to the ground, but a moment later, his body became virtual and sank into the ground.
When Zhang Yu saw this, he called back Xia Jian with his mind and reached out to hold it. Then, light flashed on his body and he slowly flew in a certain direction, looking down indifferently.
As early as in the previous battle, he had already seen that although Chi Jiao could shuttle back and forth between buildings without being blocked, in fact, he never turned into a virtual body for a long time. Instead, he changed back and forth between virtual and real.
This was undoubtedly to reduce the consumption of spiritual power.
Although he had sunk into the ground now, once his spiritual power was exhausted, he would still have to come out.
Of course, with this person's ability, even if he was buried alive underground for ten days to half a month, he would be fine. However, the problem was that he would be trapped in one place. Once he was found, he would undoubtedly be at the mercy of others.
More importantly, she hadn't been able to escape from his heart lake, so all he had to do was follow her.
After flying for about a few miles, he saw a flash of light somewhere on the plain. It was Chi Jiao who finally could not bear it and floated to the surface. Then, he staggered forward. It could be seen that the spiritual light on his body was very dim at this moment.
With a swoosh, a ray of light came from the distance, piercing through his back and then through his chest. His body trembled, but there were no injuries on his body. It was just that the layer of spiritual light became uncertain.
The sword light turned around again and slashed through his body again, causing this sign to be even more intense. After the sword light shuttled back and forth a few times, the light on his body became extremely unstable.
In the end, as his body flashed with an incomparably dazzling brilliance, with a boom, it was as if a dull thundercloud had exploded. His entire person disappeared without a trace, leaving behind countless specks of light that scattered in the surroundings like raindrops.
After these things reached the ground, the light faded, but they turned into small blood beads. After a while, they rolled as if they were alive, attracted each other, and gathered in one place. Finally, they turned into a slightly dark crystal blood stone.
Zhang Yu looked over, and the thing slowly floated up and landed in his hand. After taking a look, he also put it in his pocket.
Now that he thought about it, this was the second divine robe.
However, without Chi Jiao, this divine robe could only return to normal.
It was not that Chi Jiao did not have strength, and his position as a military marquis was promoted through real military contributions.
It was said that no matter what kind of spiritual creature was difficult to deal with, even EsGod, which the other military marquises found difficult to deal with, Chi Jiao would often be able to finish it off in one strike after finding the opportunity.
However, although this person's attacking methods were sharp, his shortcomings were also equally obvious. He did not have any way to counter Chi Jiao's flying techniques, and he did not even attack him once from the beginning to the end. The only time he was prepared to attack, Chi Jiao had already retreated.
In fact, even if he did it a few times, as long as this flaw was not fixed, the result of the battle would not change at all.
Zhang Yu secretly reminded himself that he could not make such a mistake. In his future cultivation, he had to do his best to smooth out all the flaws that could be seen.
However, he also knew that flaws would always exist, and this needed to be fixed in battle after battle.
Just like this battle. Even though Belatedly Imparting did not bring any danger to him, his sharp senses had left a deep impression on him. Because of this, he had corrected his Heart Ray. If he were to encounter a similar opponent in the future, he would not make the same mistake.
Moreover, through this battle, he also discovered that the flying sword wasn't flexible enough in its turns. If he were to face an opponent who was completely proficient in speed, he really wouldn't be able to do much to such a person if he were to purely rely on long-range attacks.
He pondered for a moment. It seemed that the next step would be to find a way to strengthen the communication between the person and the sword.
He glanced in the direction of the Army of God's camp, and was about to turn and leave, but at this time, he changed his mind and stopped.
Chi Jiao clearly knew that it was meaningless to travel underground, but he still wanted to stay underground for a while. Was it really just because he wanted to hold on for a while longer?
Thinking of this, he cast his gaze down, and after scanning the ground a few times, he finally stopped at a place. With a thought, the sword light followed and fell, creating a large hole with a bang. In the soil, there was a small book made of leather lying there.
He slowly descended, and after standing still, he reached out his hand and took it into his palm.
He opened the small book and flipped through it, and saw a series of missing words and symbols. They were not written with pen and ink, but were engraved with spiritual power.
This book could not be considered thick, but there was a lot of content. Some of it could be seen that it had been written long ago, and some of it was undoubtedly added just now.
He guessed that these missing words and symbols should be some kind of secret talisman mark in the Army of God, used to transmit some information. Perhaps only someone like Chi Jiao, who had been a military marquis, would know the true meaning behind it.
However, if there were no accidents, the things that had just been added should be clues that Chi Jiao had deliberately left for the Army of God.
He put away the small book, and scanned it again. After confirming that there was nothing left, he returned his sword to its scabbard. With his back to the vast An Mountain range, he walked with firm steps back in the direction of Auspicious Light City.
