The shockwave was violent, and the mountain passageway was already filled with cries of agony. Many people had already been blasted into a bloody mess, and a large number of severed limbs flew everywhere. Most of them died on the spot.
The amount of explosives was not small. They were all prepared by Yuan Gang in response to Niu Youdao's request to create chaos in the Qi Capital. They were not put to use in the Qi Capital. This time, they were all used here in order to deal a fatal blow to the target.
The explosion was violent, and rocks, severed limbs, broken wood from carriages, and flesh fell to the ground.
"Ah!" Among the people who had fallen to the ground, someone hugged his missing, bloody leg and wailed.
Someone rolled on the ground in increasing pain, and pulled out the iron nails from his body.
Yuan Gang had added a large number of lethal metals to the explosives, iron nails, and the like, in order to increase the destructive power of the target in one blow.
Even Daoye had mentioned this dangerous person several times. Yuan Gang had the intention to kill him, and he was ruthless!
It was a surprise attack, one that caught everyone off guard and gave them no time to react. Most of the people were flipped upside down in the violent explosion.
In the expanding shockwave, not to mention those who were blasted to death on the spot, those who had been knocked to the ground in a daze had not even had the time to get up. No matter how injured they were, as long as they could still move, arrows were already shooting towards them.
Yuan Gang had gathered more than fifty Nine Repeating Crossbows from Green Mountain County for this operation. The penetrating power of these special crossbow bolts was far superior to that of ordinary arrows.
Someone's body trembled, and just as he was about to get up, he was nailed to the ground by several arrows.
Someone had just turned over when a needle-like iron nail pierced through his head, and he fell with his eyes wide open.
Two people shot up from the overturned warhorses, and from the explosive shockwave, the arrows were mainly aimed at these two people. The others had basically fallen in this round of surprise attacks.
The two people who had soared into the sky were also stunned by this unusual surprise attack. When they instantly reacted and soared into the sky, they had already quickly cast Protective Dharma Shields to resist the rain of arrows that were hurtling towards them.
The steel needles, which were as thick as chopsticks, were different from ordinary arrows. Their lethality and attack power were very strong within a short distance. However, they were forcefully trapped by the Protective Dharma Aura around their bodies, unable to penetrate or fall off.
Half of the cultivator's body was covered in blood. A stream of blood gushed out of his nostrils while he was still in the air. The powerful arrows that came from the crossbow broke through his protective shield. The sword in his hand slashed randomly, creating a series of metallic clangs and sparks. He managed to block the arrows in front of him, but he was unable to block the arrows behind him in time. He fell down like a sieve.
The other cultivator leapt into the air and leapt into the dense forest.
"Chase!" Yuan Feng shouted and led the twenty or so 'assassins' who had mud on their faces and straw on their bodies into the forest.
The group of people were like wild wolves, ignoring the terrain and thorns in the mountains. They were unwilling to waste any time and immediately rushed into the forest like wolves with crossbows.
The cultivator flew across the treetops, and the group of people on the ground chased after him while shooting. One group chased after him while the other quickly loaded arrows on the crossbows. They took turns and did not give the other party a chance to catch his breath.
The group of people chased after him, shooting and killing all the way. Their usual tough training in the forest was reflected in the quality they should have.
While Yuan Feng led the group of people in pursuit, Yuan Gang rushed out with his zhanmadao and rushed toward the cultivator who had fallen to the ground.
The cultivator's body was pierced by the arrows like a hedgehog. He vomited blood, but he still swung his sword and slashed at Yuan Gang angrily.
The sword qi was like an invisible air blade, whistling through the air.
Yuan Gang swung his saber horizontally, and with a loud bang, he used brute force to smash the sword qi.
Amidst the explosion of air waves, the grass and branches covering Yuan Gang's body were torn off. He landed on the ground, turned around, and swung his saber.
"Clang!" The cultivator raised his sword to block the attack. The sword in his hand was sent flying, and a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth and nose. He swayed the arrows stuck in his body and was forced to retreat.
Yuan Gang rushed out with both feet, holding the saber with both hands, and slashed horizontally, creating a rain of blood.
The cultivator was instantly cut in half at the waist and fell to the ground. Yuan Gang did not even look back. He rushed into the forest with his zhanmadao in hand, shuttling through the forest like a cheetah. He climbed the slope and leaped through the forest as if he was walking on flat ground. The branches that were slightly in his way were all cut away by his saber.
He was afraid that something would happen to Yuan Feng and the others, so he hurried over.
On the other side of the forest, more than twenty people had already rushed down the slope. A few of them immediately shot at the cultivator who had been cut in half, but whose upper body was still moving. With a few swishing sounds, the cultivator's head was nailed to the ground.
The rest of the people gestured to each other and quickly checked the scene. Almost all of them communicated with hand gestures, and very few spoke. If they found someone who could still move, they would immediately shoot an arrow at his head, showing no mercy.
After confirming that there were no survivors, they quickly cleaned up the battlefield and pulled out the arrows at the scene. They tried to take away as many arrows as possible, so as not to leave any special traces of their battle on the scene.
At the two entrances and exits of the mountain road, there were people standing guard, blocking passers-by who might appear.
Yuan Gang, who had rushed into the forest, quickly caught up with Yuan Feng and the others.
They had lost track of the enemy. The enemy was skimming over the treetops, and they were at a disadvantage in the forest, unable to catch up.
Yuan Gang rushed over. Both sides did not communicate verbally, but Yuan Feng gestured to the direction in which the enemy had fled.
With a swish, Yuan Gang rushed past them, as fast as the wind, and chased after the enemy.
Yuan Feng raised his hand, stopping the people who were chasing after him. He patted the crossbow in his hand, and pointed back the way he came. A group of people covered in grass, like savages, whose faces could not be seen clearly, immediately turned back to look for the arrows they had shot, and tried to clean up the traces they had left behind …
The cultivator who had rushed out of the forest landed on the grassland and looked back. Seeing that no one was chasing after him, he reckoned that the group of assassins running on the ground would not be able to catch up to him. He slowly leaned on his sword, panting heavily, and looked at his blood-covered body.
He was not injured during the chase, those arrows did not hurt him, but the sudden explosion without any warning had seriously injured him. At that time, it was too sudden, and he almost had no time to cast any spells to defend himself. He forcibly withstood that violent explosion with his flesh and blood, and he was already very lucky to be able to survive.
His ears were still ringing.
One of his eyes was blurred, and he could not see clearly. He reached out to touch that eye, and found that there was a foreign object in the eye socket. Enduring the pain, he pulled it out together with the eyeball in the eye socket. At a glance, he saw that it was a nail.
He could feel that the people who had ambushed him were not cultivators, and the sorrow in his heart was indescribable. He had actually fallen in the hands of a group of ordinary people.
Throwing the nail away, he touched the eyeball hanging outside the eye socket with his hand, and once again endured the sharp pain, he pulled out the already useless eyeball and threw it away.
Then, he puffed out his chest and cast spells. Blood spurted out of his body, and dozens of foreign objects that had shot into his body during the explosion were forcibly expelled by his spells, bouncing them onto the grass.
He had just cast spells to seal the wounds on his body when there seemed to be a strange sound behind him. He turned around to look, and saw a tall man with a face smeared with mud, holding a Zhanmadao in his hand, rushing out of the forest and rushing towards him with a saber in his hand.
He was shocked and angry. He was shocked that he was seriously injured, and angry that a mere ordinary person actually dared to chase after a cultivator like him alone.
He was not afraid of being alone, but he was afraid that the group of people using the special crossbows would chase after him again. His body was seriously injured, and he was afraid that some accident would happen. At once, he did not delay any longer, and without another word, he flashed and rushed into the depths of the grassland.
The person who came was none other than Yuan Gang. Seeing that the other party had run away, he immediately ran at full speed, and the grass on the ground parted with a swish, allowing him to rush through.
On this flat grassland, there were no obstacles, and his running speed became even wilder.
The cultivator in front flew up, landed on the ground, and flew away again, and Yuan Gang chased after him with a saber in hand.
That feeling was like a toad trying to eat swan meat, chasing after him relentlessly.
Or like a cheetah madly galloping on the grassland, chasing after a frightened bird.
The cultivator occasionally looked back, and the more he looked, the more panicked he became. He wanted to ask, was this guy human?
He had never seen anyone who could run so fast on two legs, and he did not know what bad luck he had today, to actually run into a situation where dozens of ordinary people dared to fight with cultivators, and they even took the initiative to attack, and now he was being chased by such a strange madman.
The crux of the problem was that not only was he seriously injured, but there were also so many wounds on his body that he needed to cast spells to suppress. It was impossible for him to seal too many acupoints, which would affect the casting of his transcendence energy. At the same time, he was dragging his seriously injured body to cast spells and fly, which consumed his transcendence energy quickly.
One ran, and the other chased, the distance between the people who were flying and escaping became shorter and shorter, but the speed of the one who was chasing after him did not slow down at all.
The cultivator who was hoping to get rid of him was really on tenterhooks, he had never seen such an ordinary person. Not only could he run so fast without reducing his speed, it seemed like he would never tire. Was this physical strength still human?
The two of them were in a deadlock for a while, and the cultivator's body could not take it anymore. Seeing that Yuan Gang was still chasing after him alone, and did not see anyone else coming from afar, he suddenly turned around the moment he landed, and pounced towards Yuan Gang in the opposite direction.
One pounced over, and the other dashed away, the two of them instantly collided head-on.
The cultivator swung his sword in the air, and a sharp Sword Qi slashed out.
Yuan Gang suddenly leaped up, his movements swift, and he leaped over the sharp Sword Qi. His jumping ability was astonishing, and with a single leap, he was already thirty feet high, holding his saber with both hands, he slashed towards the other.
Bang! The Sword Qi plowed a ditch on the ground, grass and mud flying everywhere.
The two of them instantly collided in the air.
The cultivator did not expect his opponent to be able to jump so high, and was shocked, he hurriedly swung his sword to block the saber that slashed towards him with a roar of breaking wind.
Bang! There was a loud sound.
A terrifying brute force came from the sword, and this strength was truly shocking. One must know that he was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and even though he was seriously injured, he was still scared out of his wits, and he did not know what kind of freak he had encountered. This was the first time he had seen such a fierce ordinary person, was he still an ordinary person?
The sword in his hand was sent flying, and his arm was numb from the impact. The wounds on his body could not be suppressed, and blood immediately gushed out, and he also fell to the ground from the impact.
