Chapter Eighty
Bai Yong's words made Shangguan Yuanbiao furious, and Shangguan Yuanwu was also enraged. The two brothers stopped being polite and both went on stage to fight Bai Yong together.
Dealing with one of the two brothers, Bai Yong was extremely struggling. Two against him alone, he had no power to fight back. In the blink of an eye, he was already in a precarious situation.
Gu Yue and Le Tian saw this and didn't dare continue watching from afar. The two of them each held their weapons and were about to go forward to provide support.
At this moment, Bai Yong made a false move on the battlefield and jumped out of the circle in disarray. He quickly ran back to his war horse, mounted it, turned around and ran away, shouting without looking back: "You two brothers are bullying the minority, what kind of good man is that? Today I will spare you two, we will fight again tomorrow!"
Shangguan brothers had a violent temper, and now that his anger had been provoked by him, he would not let him escape easily.
The two men ignored the other officers and soldiers, each replacing their guns, and rushed straight towards Bai Yong, shouting: "Bai Yong, if you have the guts, stand still and don't run!" "Where's your mighty spirit from just now? Stand still for me!"
Bai Yong didn't listen to the two brothers shouting what, raised his whip and urged the horse to run faster. Under his continuous whipping, the warhorse seemed to have been frightened too, turned around and ran into the woods on the side of the mountain road.
Shangguan brothers saw the situation and sneered in their hearts, thinking that Bai Yong was panicked and had chosen a path to his own death. The two of them were too familiar with the terrain here, and the forest where Bai Yong escaped was not small in size. Moreover, inside the forest, there were many grasses and vines, let alone war horses, even a tiger would be entangled at night.
At this time, Bai Yong was running in the front, and the Shangguan brothers were closely following behind. Gu Yue and Le Tian also urged their horses to catch up, and then there were the 500 soldiers they had brought with them. The two sides were mixed together, and the team stretched out for a long distance.
Soon, Bai Yong rode his horse into the forest.
As expected, the forest was full of grass vines, with long branches stretching out everywhere, left and right, like countless tripwires.
Bai Yong entered the forest and ran out of time, the war horse's four hooves were tightly entwined with vines, no matter how he whipped, he couldn't move forward one step.
The two brothers, Hou Shang and Shang Shu, couldn't help but burst out laughing at the sight, slowing down their pace. Hou Yuanbiao walked forward with a smirk on his face, saying: "Bai Yong, you're quite fast, why did you stop running?"
Bai Yong's face turned ugly, he quickly jumped off his horse, grasped the long knife with both hands, stared at the Shangguan brothers while slowly backing away with his feet, and said in a trembling voice: "You... you two don't bully people too much!"
"Hmph!" Looking at his weak and timid appearance, Upper Official Yuan Biao felt even more angry, snorting in laughter: "Originally my brother thought you were quite impressive, but now it seems you're nothing special after all!"
"You..." Bai Yong's face turned red with rage, his finger pointing at Shangguan Yuanbiao, unable to speak. The Shangguan brothers thought he would counterattack with resentment, but unexpectedly, Bai Yong turned around and ran towards the depths of the forest without any backbone, slashing at the grass and vines in front of him with his battle knife, his appearance truly like a stray dog.
"Mother's, look where you can still run!" Xiang Guan Yuan Biao took only two arrow-steps to catch up with Bai Yong's back, raised his long spear with one hand, aimed at Bai Yong's back, and viciously slammed it down.
His gun hadn't been spiritualized, but with his strength, he could really hit Bai Yong, and it was enough for the latter to bear.
Just as Bai was about to be caught with nowhere to hide and no way to escape, a sudden shrill whistling sound came from the air.
Shangguan Yuanbiao reacted extremely quickly, the thrown gun changed direction, and with a horizontal swipe, it struck the arrow that was flying in from the side at an angle.
"There are still enemies in the woods! Officer Yuan Piao was greatly shocked and instinctively looked towards the direction of the arrow shot, shouting "Who?"
No one answered. As he was looking around, he suddenly heard his elder brother Gao Yuanwu shouting behind him: "Yuan Biao, be careful behind you..."
Behind him? Shangguan Yuanbiao hadn't figured out what was happening, when he suddenly heard the sound of evil wind and weapons coming from behind. At this point, it was too late for him to turn around and block or dodge, and even his twin brother Shangguan Yuanwu standing behind him couldn't react in time to save him.
All he heard was a loud "crack" and then another, and suddenly his back felt like it had been rammed by a wild bull. His body involuntarily lunged forward.
Plop!
Shangguan Yuanbiao rushed forward more than four meters before landing, then rolled a few times before finally stopping. When he looked up at him again, his face was deathly pale with no blood color, his mouth open, and he spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
He struggled to get up from the ground, when suddenly his neck felt a chill, and a curved knife materialized in front of his throat. Upper Official Yuan Biao raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, standing beside him was a Spirit Warrior clad in black spirit armor, holding two spirit knives. This person was none other than Tang Yin.
The arrow that flew towards Shangguan Yuanbiao was shot by Tang Yin, his archery skills were not as accurate as Yue Tian's, but they were not weak either. The purpose of this arrow was not to injure Shangguan Yuanbiao, but to attract his attention. After shooting the arrow, he didn't delay for a moment, threw away his bow, drew out his twin knives, and in an instant, flashed behind Shangguan Yuanbiao's back with his dark shadow drifting technique. His twin knives struck out together, only using the back of the knife to strike Shangguan Yuanbiao's back, however, even so, the powerful force of the knife handles still caused internal injuries to Shangguan Yuanbiao.
Actually, Guan Yuanbiao's cultivation was not so bad, he just got too careless. During the pursuit of the enemy, his body did not cover the Ling armor, and he didn't know that there were still people in the forest who would use the rare and strange skill of Dark Shadow Drift. Plus, all his attention was drawn to the front, so he suffered a big loss.
Now he was shocked under Tang Yan's knife, and it was too late to regret.
"Yuan Biao!" Yuanguan Yuanwu saw his brother being beaten by the opponent, and in a fit of rage, he shouted loudly and charged at Tang Yin with his spear.
This time, before Tang Yin made a move, the originally fleeing Bai Yong somehow returned and blocked Shangguan Yuanwu with his horizontal knife, fighting him in one place.
At this time, Shangguan Yuanwu was almost frantic, and as soon as he came up, he used his full strength. The Lingkuihua and the Spirit of the Soldier's Spirit were completed simultaneously, and the spiritual pressure was automatically released. Every time he made a move, there was a subtle surge of spiritual energy emanating from him.
Bai Yong had only exchanged three rounds with him when he was already unable to withstand it and was forced to retreat repeatedly.
This is when Gu Yue and Le Tian, who had been chasing them, finally caught up and joined the battle.
Gu Yue drew his sword and fought side by side with Bai Yong, joining forces to battle Shangguan Yuanwu. Meanwhile, Le Tian jumped onto a tree fork, avoiding the cold arrows shot by Shangguan Yuanwu from the ground.
Even if it was a one-on-one fight between Guan Yu and the scattered soldiers, they still couldn't gain the upper hand. Especially Bai Liu and Gu Ye, who were constantly being beaten by him until they rolled and crawled on the ground, the situation was critical.
And as for Tang Yin, he subdued Shangguan Yuanbiao and immediately shouted: "Tie him up!"
As his voice fell, the rustling sound of footsteps came from the depths of the forest. Before long, Li Wei, Liu Zhongsheng, Chen Fang and Ai Jia emerged from the bushes, each holding iron chains as thick as a wrist. They approached Shangguan Yuanbiao without saying a word, binding him up tightly from head to toe, making him look like a rice dumpling.
The iron locks they used were specially made, exceptionally sturdy. Once bound by them, not to mention Yuanguan Yuanbiao, even a top-notch Lingwu master would be unable to escape.
Shangguan Yuanbiao is now a tiger fallen into Pingyang, he was pressed to the ground by the crowd, his eyes staring fiercely at Tang Yin beside him, roaring: "Tang Yin, what kind of thing are you? If you have the guts, let's fight openly and fairly with Laozi, sneaking up from behind doesn't count as a skill. With this kind of despicable behavior, you don't have the qualifications to be a county guard! You are a shameless and treacherous villain..."
Tang Yin didn't even look at him, merely raised his hand to touch the Ling Cui on his ear, then shook his head and said: "So noisy, make him shut up!"
"Yes!" Li Wei responded with a sound, and somehow pulled out a piece of tattered cloth from somewhere, casually bunched it up in his hand, and then stuffed it into Magistrate Yuan's mouth.
"Wooo... " Magistrate Yuan Bo had never been treated this way in his life, and he had never suffered such humiliation. His old face was flushed with anger, and coupled with the internal injury he had just sustained, he almost fainted.
Look at him being honest for once, Tang Yin only then thought of the "16K Web" on the battlefield where Wang Yuanwu walked away.
He took only two steps before his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared beside Shangguan Yuanwu, simultaneously sweeping both blades across the latter's waist.
At this time, Shangguan Yuanwu had become more cautious and felt a slight disturbance in the air beside him. Without looking, he stabbed his spear sideways.
Dong Dong!
The two blades and long spear clashed together, producing a string of sparks that shone exceptionally brightly in the dark forest.
Tang Yan's dual blades did not sweep across Wang Yuanwu, and the latter's long spear also failed to pierce him.
"Traitor, look out for the gun!"
Shangguan Yuanwu suddenly thrust at Tang Yin with his long spear, creating countless spear flowers that stabbed towards Tang Yin's entire body.
This is the Whirling Petals skill in Lingwu.
The attack range of the fluttering flowers was extremely wide, and since he and Tang Yin were too close together, using this skill was equivalent to instantly sealing off all of Tang Yin's escape routes.
The gap in their cultivation was not small, and Tang Yin's hard connection with this move was unaffordable. If it were someone else, there would only be room for closing one's eyes and waiting for death at this time, but Tang Yin had a lifesaving treasure.
Just as the flying flowers were about to pierce Tang Yin's body all over, his figure suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Shangguan Yuanwu was slightly stunned for a moment before immediately understanding that Tang Yin had just used the Dark System skill Shadow Drift again.
He almost didn't think about it and immediately withdrew his move, stabbing the gun tail towards his own back.
What a formidable Shangguan Yuanwu! Tang Yin indeed used Shadow Shift, and he did flash to the opponent's back, but Shangguan Yuanwu seemed to have grown eyes on the back of his head. As soon as Tang Yin appeared behind him, his spear also followed and stabbed over.
"Take the sword!"
Before Tang Yin could react, Bai Yong and Gu Yue's twin blades attacked Upper Official Yuanwu again. The latter had no choice but to withdraw his spear and barely parried the blades. Le Tian's spirit arrow flew towards him once more. With Tang Yin, this dark system's spiritual martial arts expert by his side, Upper Official Yuanwu dared not be careless and hastily bent down to dodge.
He barely dodged the spirit arrow, and Li Wei, Liu Zhongsheng, and Chen Fang joined forces to surround Tang Yuan, Bai Yong, Gu Yue, and Shangguan Yuanwu.
