Qi Shang stared intently at the person in front of him, tightly binding his wound with his belt, before addressing the group who were locked in a fierce battle with Jiang Yimian: "Set up an array and strangle this person."
As soon as he finished speaking, those people moved instantly. Their seemingly chaotic actions quickly evaded Jiang Yimian's attacks, and in a few moves, they formed an encirclement around her again.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow as she watched the crowd's sudden change in position.
Having been here for so long, this is only the second time I've seen this group of people who cooperated and enhanced their combat power when I met them at the mine last time.
Lu Cijian dealt with those people last time, and she had always been curious about how they did it. She never expected to run into them again this time.
It looks like an upgraded version.
The formation of these people in front of her was strange and incomprehensible, yet it piqued her interest.
Qi Shang saw that there was no fear or panic on her face, but rather a calm expression. Apart from a hint of curiosity in her eyes, she showed no other emotions.
He chuckled, a hint of smugness on his face. "To be strangled by this formation, you died a worthy death."
Jiang Yimian glanced at him and laughed, "You're a bit too confident. It's not certain who will live or die!"
Qi Shang snorted coldly, "Then let me show you how you die."
Having said that, he raised the large knife in his hand and attacked Jiang Yimian.
As soon as they met, Jiang Yimian sensed something was wrong. The man's moves were unpredictable and almost completely different from before.
The others coordinated more closely, attacking her almost simultaneously, making up for everyone's weaknesses.
For a moment, she was caught off guard.
Barely dodging Qi Shang's attack, the tall man thrust at her chest again, with several flashes of silver light beside him, leaving her no way to avoid it.
The tall, burly man also revealed a hint of smugness on his face. He sneered, "Today, you will die here."
Seeing the cold light approaching, Jiang Yimian couldn't dodge in time and instantly flashed into the space.
The tall man was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at the person who had suddenly disappeared in front of him, and asked in disbelief, "Where did this person go?"
The others also looked horrified, looking around but not seeing Jiang Yimian, which made them feel a chill run down their spines.
In broad daylight, a living person vanished before their very eyes.
Qi Shang immediately shouted, "Be careful, that woman is using illusions."
After saying that, he carefully observed the surrounding movements, his expression more solemn than ever before.
When Zhao Cheng mentioned that someone could disappear into thin air, he didn't believe it, thinking it was just a hallucination. Now it seems that the person Zhao Cheng was talking about must be the person in front of him.
Although I don't know what kind of trick they used, it is indeed a bit tricky.
If someone as capable as him cannot be used by them, then he can only die.
Anyone who obstructs the King of Chu's plan must die.
Jiang Yimian, inside the space, also felt that the current situation was difficult to handle. She never expected that these people would be so powerful just by changing the formation, even surpassing Zhao Cheng.
If we can deal with these people here, it will be easier to deal with the King of Chu later.
But this formation seemed to have no flaws; everyone complemented each other, combining offense and defense, leaving her with no way to attack.
I thought about it for a long time, but I couldn't come up with a good solution.
She could no longer sit idly by and wait to die in that space.
If she hadn't shown up, these people might have gone straight down the mountain, and that would have been troublesome.
At the same time, Lu Cijian was carrying Wei Jinghai on his back and running rapidly down the mountain.
The woman gritted her teeth and followed him, clinging tightly to the man on her back, afraid of holding him back.
Because he was wary of the people behind him, Lu Cijian did not use his lightness skill, but only paid attention to the movements around him.
Just as the path down the mountain was within reach, a loud whistle sounded behind us.
The next second, the people who were searching all over the mountain rushed down the mountain.
Lu Cijian knew something was wrong and quickened his pace. However, the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer.
The woman was already losing her strength, and hearing the pursuit behind her, her legs went weak with fear.
I slipped and fell to the ground.
In an instant, a young man swung his knife and slashed at the person on the ground.
The woman screamed in fright and nearly fainted.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that the young man had fallen to the ground, with a sharp dagger stuck in his chest.
Lu Cijian bent down and pulled out the dagger. Instantly, blood gushed from the man's chest, slowly soaking the entire ground.
The woman was so frightened that she was trembling all over and felt like she had no strength left. If she hadn't already fallen to the ground, she probably would have been paralyzed by the scene before her.
Lu Cijian glanced at her and said only, "You go down the mountain first, and get your horse from behind a big willow tree. I'll take care of these people."
The woman was startled. She glanced at the people rushing over from not far away, and disregarded her fear. She responded, helped Liu the Madman up, and stumbled down the mountain.
Lu Cijian blocked the road, deliberately facing those people, so that everyone could see that the person he was carrying was Wei Jinghai. He didn't stop, but changed routes and ran down the mountain while throwing several hidden weapons at those behind him.
The leading man in blue swung his broadsword to deflect the hidden weapons, but was overjoyed to see the person on Lu Cijian's body and exclaimed, "It's Wei Jinghai! Chase after him!"
As soon as they finished speaking, everyone gave chase, and this time some even fired signal flares.
The signal flare, emitting blue smoke, exploded in the air, startling many birds into flight and attracting everyone's attention.
Hearing the signal flare explode behind her, the woman ran even faster, afraid of becoming a burden to the two men, and dragged Liu the Madman down the mountain in a scramble.
Lu Cijian used his lightness skill to disappear into the forest.
Fortunately, the forest was dense, and with his desperate escape, he managed to shake off the people behind him in a few quick movements and headed straight for the big willow tree at the foot of the mountain.
As soon as he approached, the woman trembled with fright. Only when she saw that it was him did she breathe a sigh of relief. "Sir, young master, is that young lady... alright?"
She had just seen it; those people were no good. Each of them held a large, gleaming knife, and some of their knives even had bloodstains on them, which was extremely terrifying.
These people can catch up with them in just a few jumps.
How could that girl possibly escape unscathed from such a formidable person?
Lu Cijian helped the person on his back onto the horse, and then helped Liu Fengzi onto the horse as well, before nimbly mounting his own horse and coldly saying, "Let's go into the city first."
There's no use saying anything now. Mianmian has attracted a lot of people for them. If they don't take this opportunity to enter the city, it will be difficult for them to escape.
Although the soldiers guarding the city gate were Zhou Shiwen's men, they shouldn't openly reveal their identities to kill them right now.
Entering the city is the only way to survive right now. As for what happens next, we can only deal with it as it comes.
The woman quickly responded, awkwardly climbed onto her horse, and followed the people in front toward Yuncheng Prefecture.
She was swaying precariously on the horse, but thankfully she could still ride it with difficulty, and it took her a while to regain her balance.
