That night, the moon was bright and there was not a single cloud in the vast night sky. It was unusually quiet all around and the only thing that could be heard was the faint sound of crickets chirping in the grass.
Just when Zhou Yi and Heshal were chatting in the tent and feeling a little relaxed, Zhou Yi, who was sitting on the ground with a smile on his face, suddenly stopped smiling. He then stood up and looked towards the northwest, where there was something that attracted his attention.
"Oh?!" Zhou Yi let out a surprised exclamation, and his face instantly became solemn.
"The situation is bad. We have been exposed and must leave as soon as possible!" Outside the tent, Zhebie had already rushed out and shouted loudly.
Zhou Yi frowned, then reached out and grabbed the Jade Water Sword. In just a short moment, Zhou Yi's figure had changed from extremely still to extremely active. With only his free right hand, he packed up all the necessary supplies in the blink of an eye.
After doing all this, Zhou Yi had no intention of stopping at all. He rushed out of the tent and commanded the entire escort team to set out on the journey again.
"Shoot!" A sudden shout came from a distance, and hundreds of rockets streaked across the dark night sky like meteors. With the help of the wind, they flew farther, and the flames became more crazy, shooting straight towards Xiningji.
In an instant, Xining Market had become a sea of fire. The wind was strong and the fire burned even more vigorously. If it were daytime, people in the market might have been able to take some precautions, but at night, most people were already asleep, and in their half-asleep state, it was difficult to do anything.
The fire was most intense in the warehouse where all kinds of sundries were piled up. The fire spread rapidly and flames were everywhere, immediately causing a scene of commotion. Countless people rushed over from all directions to put out the fire.
Thick smoke rose into the sky and was carried by the mountain wind to the tents that were not affected by the fire. The entire Xining Village was almost covered in thick smoke and ashes, and the vision was unclear.
Zhou Yi was the first to rush out of the tent to join everyone. Fortunately, Zhebie discovered the enemy earlier than Zhou Yi and had already called everyone. The escort team was back to normal after a period of confusion at the beginning.
Everyone lined up and sped towards the distant mountain road in the thick smoke and darkness.
"Who are these people?" Subuchi asked as he rode his horse at full speed.
"It seems like a military routine, fighting as a whole, and being good at using rockets. Moreover, they were able to find our Xiningji base so quickly?" Ren Ya was also quite puzzled. She turned her head to look at Bi Hongyao and said, "Is there another team like this in the Great Ming Sect?"
Bi Hongyao shook her head and said, "Probably not."
Zhou Yi suddenly said: "After listening to your analysis, Ren Ya, I suddenly have an idea. Do these people look like the Fiery Flag among the Five Elements Flags of the Ming Cult?"
"What?" Liu Yun was shocked and asked, "Are you saying that the Ming Church also wants our Saint's life?"
Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "It's just a guess, who knows?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew.
"The enemy is coming from the northwest! Everyone, intercept them quickly and don't let them leave!"
The voice in the distance was spoken very quickly, in less than a second, and more than seventy people who were searching all around immediately rushed towards the direction of the shout at the fastest speed.
Zhou Yi rode in the lead, and the entire escort team formed an arrow-shaped charge formation. At this moment, there were wolves in front and tigers behind. If they could not charge out in one breath, once the rear army surrounded them, Zhou Yi and others would be in big trouble.
However, it seems that the enemies responsible for encirclement and pursuit are by no means ordinary people. They have encountered similar situations more than once and have already prepared multiple sets of interception formations and techniques. Not to mention capturing the opponent, they are definitely capable of holding back most of the masters. Stop them!
"Tsk, what are you still standing there for!"
Seeing that in just a moment, Zhou Yi and others would escape from the encirclement, the highest-ranking leader among the enemies in the array finally roared in anger impatiently. From the sound of the voice, it seemed that the person who spoke was actually a young woman
"The enemy is extremely skilled in martial arts and is unstoppable," the woman shouted angrily, "Why don't you quickly set up a giant tree formation to stop them!"
"Yes, sir!"
After being reminded by the woman, the enemies who were originally frightened by the murderous aura of Zhou Yi and others finally woke up and immediately acted according to the woman's instructions!
The seventy-odd people in front of them all had their heads wrapped in green cloth, and they were seen running quickly, carrying a huge log in pairs of ten. Each log weighed more than a thousand pounds, and there were iron hooks on the logs, and each person held an iron hook, and their steps were very consistent.
Suddenly, there was a shout, and fifty huge trees were thrown out at the same time, and there was a continuous bang bang bang bang sound. The fifty huge trees were divided into twenty-five pairs and collided with each other. Each huge tree weighed more than a thousand pounds, and the momentum of the collision was really amazing.
The escort team that was charging ahead had to stop their horses and try to hold on, because no matter how high they jumped, how low they jumped, or how far they dodged, they were always hit by the huge trees. Wouldn't their flesh and blood bodies be instantly turned into pulp under the impact of so many huge trees
After one round of attack, the seventy-odd people waited for the huge tree to fall to the ground after hitting it, then rushed forward to grab the iron hook on the tree, turned around and ran out, more than ten feet away, waiting for the person who gave the order to throw the green flag again so that they could lift the huge tree and hit it for the second time.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi was anxious to get away, so he shouted, "Take care of yourselves, I'm going to capture the woman leading the group!" After that, Zhou Yi lightly tapped the stirrups with his toes, immediately flew up, and rushed towards the woman in front of him, waving the Green Water Sword.
"call!"
In an instant, there was a sound of breaking wind. Before Zhou Yi's feet landed on the ground, a giant iron rope as thick as a baby's arm had already rushed towards his chest like a spirit snake. Seeing its strong force, no one had any doubt that if this terrifying swing hit him, even a first-rate master would be killed by a headshot on the spot, with no hope of survival.
Zhou Yi snorted coldly, and his free left hand immediately turned into a Wudang soft palm and struck out into the air, immediately releasing an unparalleled force. The giant rope suddenly rolled back like the wind, and knocked the leading woman who was wielding the rope to the ground.
Zhou Yifei stepped forward, grabbed the woman's sleeve, and shouted loudly: "Stop it!"
"Daydreaming!"
Before Zhou Yi finished his words, he saw two flashes of sword light coming at him. Zhou Yi was horrified and took a series of steps, suddenly lowering his body and barely dodged the sword light.
After dodging this move, Zhou Yi held the woman who wielded the rope tightly in his arms and took a closer look at the man who wielded the sword.
The man was dressed in black, with high cheekbones and narrow eyes. What was even more terrifying was that he had a creepy sword scar across his cheek, making him look like a ferocious ancient beast, which made people shudder.
The man looked at Zhou Yi, his mouth corners suddenly raised, with a slightly playful smile, and said: "Yo Yo! It seems that I met an interesting person today, huh?" (To be continued)
