Faced with Niu Youdao's powerful Heaven Sword Talisman, the five old men constantly changed their formation and surrounded him. Hundreds of cultivators rushed over and joined the encirclement.
Niu Youdao, who did not hesitate to use his legs to escape, was waiting for this moment. Once all the cultivators in pursuit landed on the ground, he suddenly soared into the sky with a swoosh.
Once he soared into the sky, the seventh Heaven Sword Talisman was thrown out, bombarding the people below, suppressing them from chasing him. At the very least, he had to slow them down.
Faced with the twelve Heaven Sword Astral Shadows, the cultivators in pursuit quickly dodged.
With this move, all twelve Heaven Sword Astral Shadows were destroyed as if they were worthless. This method of using the Heaven Sword Talisman was a little too extravagant. Many people were shocked. How many Heaven Sword Talismans did Niu Youdao bring with him?
Earth and rocks shook violently, and smoke and dust rose into the air. A group of people rushed out and chased after him again.
From the lakeside in front, Niu Youdao stomped on the head of a soldier. He then flew up again and flew towards the jade-green rippling Corner Lake.
When he turned back, the group of people was in pursuit again. However, the short time difference was no longer enough to stop Niu Youdao from escaping into the lake.
Seeing that there was no problem in escaping into the lake, Niu Youdao heaved a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that the large group of people gathered by the lakeside would also no longer have any misgivings. They would shoot their arrows towards the surface of the lake without worrying about hurting their own people.
"Release the arrows!" A general ordered angrily.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh, the dense sound of the arrows caused the air to tremble.
Niu Youdao was shocked. Even his protective barrier could not withstand such a dense chain of attacks. Even water droplets could penetrate rocks, let alone this.
He originally thought that he could save one Heaven Sword Talisman, but it was obvious that he could not keep it. In a moment of desperation, he shook out his last Heaven Sword Talisman, and all twelve Heaven Sword Astral Shadows shot out at once.
Amidst the clanging sounds, the dense rain of arrows was sent flying in all directions.
Once the first wave of arrows was broken, the second wave immediately followed. This was the ferocity of a systematic attack by an army. Even if they had a large number of people, they could still work closely together and maintain a continuous and meticulous attack.
Niu Youdao, who no longer had the Heaven Sword Talisman in his hand, unsheathed the sword at his waist with a swoosh. His first move was the Taiyi Diffraction Swordplay. The shadow of the sword blossomed like a lotus flower in an instant. Clanging sounds of collision rang out and the arrows were sent flying in all directions.
However, the Taiyi Diffraction Sword Technique could not be flawless in the face of such a dense attack. When he gathered his supernatural power to burst forth with his killer move, he could not gather his supernatural power around his body to form Gang. He did not dare to stop his sword move. Otherwise, he would lose more than he could chew and be riddled with holes.
In a moment of desperation, he could only twist his body to avoid being hit in his vitals.
Puff! Puff! He could only watch as blood splattered from his body.
After being hit by three arrows in a row, he, who had fallen close to the surface of the water, smashed his palm against the surface of the water.
Boom! A wall of water exploded and disrupted the dense barrage of arrows. At the very least, it slowed down the momentum of a large number of arrows.
Seizing this opportunity, Niu Youdao flipped over and dived into the lake.
The concentrated sounds of arrows hitting the surface of the lake were like rain. The arrows that were accompanied by bubbles shot into the lake. After they lost their momentum, they floated up one after another due to the buoyancy of the wooden arrow shafts.
Like a fish, Niu Youdao hurriedly fled in the lake water, but there were still a few dozen arrows that hit his body. However, they had already lost their strength, and could only hit his body once, unable to break through his transcendence energy defense.
After escaping from danger in the water, Niu Youdao quickly turned his body. He looked at the sky above him and invoked his art. The three arrows that were stuck in his body shot out and left three trails of blood in the water. Niu Youdao was in so much pain that his expression was slightly distorted. He cursed silently. So many cultivators could not do anything to him, but he was tortured by a group of mortals. It was like ants trying to eat an elephant.
Without much time to think, he turned his body again and dived into the depths of the lake.
The deeper he went, the more he could restrain the attacks of the experts pursuing him and the more advantageous it would be for him.
The arrows on the shore were still flying into the water when an angry shout came from the sky, "Stop!"
The archers stopped shooting.
"He no longer has the Heaven Sword Talisman!" Someone shouted and made the judgment.
The situation was obvious. If he still had the Heaven Sword Talisman, Niu Youdao would definitely use it against the deadly arrows.
Five figures descended from the sky and dived into the water. The five Gui Yuan Sect Grand Elders had already entered the water.
The water splashed again, and hundreds of cultivators dived into the water one after another, launching a large-scale encirclement and pursuit underwater.
On the surface of the lake, there were dozens of people patrolling on the water to prevent Niu Youdao from escaping.
… …
The ground broke and Yun Ji, who was pulling Shang Shuqing along, realized that they had arrived at an underground space. There was the sound of flowing water.
A gentle light flashed as Yun Ji released the Moon Butterfly. The Moon Butterfly danced in the underground space.
With the help of the light from the Moon Butterfly, they realized that they had arrived at an underground river.
Yun Ji's head shook and turned into a ferocious snake head. She spat out a swaddle and handed it to Shang Shuqing.
Shang Shuqing immediately hugged the swaddle and saw that the little fellow, who was crying loudly just now, had fallen asleep. The cute look made Shang Shuqing smile through his tears.
Suddenly, he regained his senses and reacted. Shang Shuqing suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where is Daoye?"
Yun Ji's expression was solemn, "He wants to cover our retreat. Without his cover, we won't be able to escape successfully."
Shang Shuqing asked, "Should we wait here for Daoye to meet up?"
Yun Ji replied, "Meet up? He won't be able to find us this deep underground. Your Highness, why don't you understand? In order to save you and the Little Prince, and to cover our escape, Daoye is trapped alone! "
Shang Shuqing turned pale with fright, "Daoye is very meticulous. Didn't you make any other preparations? Didn't you bring any reinforcements?"
Yun Ji replied, "How can we be meticulous in this situation? If we bring more reinforcements, will the other party be at ease? Will he be able to get in contact with you and rescue you? The only way is to take a risk. This matter is very complicated and he has a lot of concerns. He can't explain it to you in a short time. "
Shang Shuqing immediately became anxious, "Then what should we do?"
She wasn't a fool. She could imagine how dangerous Niu Youdao's situation was. That was the gathering of the strongest forces in the entire Kingdom of Zhao and thousands of experts!
Yun Ji didn't continue to talk to her. She sniffed the air around her and turned back, saying, "There shouldn't be any dangerous beasts. This place should be safe. Niu Youdao's situation is too dangerous. I'm afraid it'll be too late if I wait until I send you back. I have to rush back to help him now. Your Highness, you and the Little Prince wait here. Don't run around, in case I can't find you when I come back. "
Shang Shuqing nodded repeatedly, "Okay, go quickly."
Yun Ji flicked her sleeves and three little snakes shot out and slithered on the ground.
Yun Ji hissed at the three snakes and turned back to Shang Shuqing, "Don't be afraid. As long as you don't encounter any big trouble, these three snakes can help you temporarily." She waved her hand to summon the Moon Butterfly and let it climb on the wall to illuminate Shang Shuqing.
Shang Shuqing's mind wasn't on this. He said anxiously, "Nothing must happen to Daoye. You must bring him back."
Yun Ji was silent. She really couldn't guarantee this. She was confident that she could escape on her own. Be it in terms of cultivation or strength, she dared to fight those old fellows. Escaping was her forte and she could protect herself. However, as for Niu Youdao, she didn't know how he was doing.
Without further delay, and not daring to delay any longer, he suddenly shook his head and twisted his body. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a huge snake with dark green scales. It was as thick as a water bucket, and his sudden appearance gave Shang Shuqing a fright.
Bang! All of a sudden, the great green snake slammed its head into the soil, creating a hole. With a whoosh, its body shot into the soil and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The tremor woke the child up. He cried loudly in this deep underground space. His cries echoed and it was a little scary.
Shang Shuqing quickly patted him to comfort him. His eyes were filled with anxiety.
…
Seeing the escaping figure in the water, the pursuers quickly chased after him. But as they chased, they realized something was wrong. They realized that Niu Youdao's escaping speed was not something they could compare to.
No wonder he didn't escape towards the Yan army. Instead, he tried his best to escape here. From the start, they felt that Niu Youdao's direction of escape was a little unreasonable.
The five old fellows immediately understood something. Niu Youdao didn't come here without any confidence.
Understanding this, the few of them felt some regret. If they had known this would happen, they would have tried their best to tie down Niu Youdao. If they allowed Niu Youdao to escape, they would have lost a lot of face.
Previously, they were somewhat worried about the Sky Sword Talismans in Niu Youdao's hands. They felt that Niu Youdao wouldn't be able to escape anyway. They wanted to exhaust Niu Youdao's Sky Sword Talismans so that they could take him down in one fell swoop. But if they knew this would happen, they would have spared no expense.
The group of people in the water gave chase at full speed.
Fortunately, they had the advantage in numbers. No matter how fast Niu Youdao ran, he wouldn't be able to escape from their encirclement from the start.
The terrain under the water was undulating. No matter how high or low it was, Niu Youdao kept close to the bottom of the lake and headed towards the deepest part of the lake.
Suddenly, a row of people surrounded him. Niu Youdao pushed his palm out along the ground and swept his palms in all directions. Wherever his transcendence energy went, the silt at the bottom of the lake was no longer peaceful. It surged and churned violently, turning the entire area into a turbid mess. Niu Youdao himself was hidden within the turbid mess. His sword was waiting in his hand, thirsting to kill.
One of the Grand Elders who arrived first smiled coldly. It was as if he was mocking Chu Li's petty tricks. He flipped his palm in front of his chest and pushed it out. His posture was charming and elegant.
The muddy water seemed to have met with some kind of suction force. It changed its direction and rushed towards the same direction.
The muddy water flowed towards his palm like a yellow dragon. It was as if the smoke from a chimney was being sucked back in.
Niu Youdao, who was quietly waiting for his guests in the muddy water, naturally noticed that something was wrong. However, he didn't notice that the water flow was affected. Very quickly, he appeared from the muddy water.
The moment he appeared, people from all directions immediately attacked him. Niu Youdao didn't dare to hesitate. He dashed towards the depths of the lake and was met with the combined attacks of a few people. Their swords flashed like phantoms drifting in the water.
When the swords came, he blocked them. When the fists and legs came, he broke through them. When the transcendence energy came, he broke through them.
After exchanging a few blows, the people from the Gui Yuan Sect realized that something was wrong. When their swords collided with Niu Youdao's sword, they felt that they couldn't withstand the force. It was the same when their fists and legs collided.
