Chapter 108 Immortal Treasure Fire
"Take Wang Zhi away. I'll lead this guy away!"

"Master Chen?!"

Zhao Kang and others looked at the white horse, all worried: "It's Tongmai!"

"Stop talking nonsense and do whatever the adults tell you to do!"

While the leader of the Wushen Church was chasing Bai Ma, Feng Yong led his troops to retreat quickly against Wang Zhi.

"Yes, that white horse is incredibly fast, we should be able to get rid of it."

Zhao Kang hurriedly followed.

……

"Little Lian Zang, you alone can stop my three thousand cavalrymen. I want to see how capable you are!"

Amugu instantly lost interest in the rest of the people and ordered his men to deal with them, while he went at full speed to hunt down the young general.

"This horse?"

He soon realized that the white horse under the other party's crotch was strange. Its speed and endurance far exceeded that of a normal warhorse. It was among the ranks of exotic beasts and was probably priceless: "It belongs to me!"

The distance between the two is growing.

Amugu snorted coldly and flew up, using his warhorse as a stepping stone, leaping more than ten feet away and into the dense forest.

Take a shortcut!
The white swan horse is quite large and cannot maintain such a speed in the mountains and forests.

But if he dismounted, even with the help of [Light as a Swallow], he would not be able to outrun Tongmai.

"Rust—"

There were quick footsteps coming from the hillside on the right.

The leader of the Witch God Church burst out at such a speed in a short period of time that he almost turned into an afterimage. Every time he blinked, he would close the distance between them. He would definitely catch up before entering the open area.

"Okay Chihiro, you go first."

Chen Sanshi simply jumped off the horse, used a tinder to light the torch carried by the horse, and then used it to ignite the rocket loaded with oilcloth. He continuously pulled the bowstring towards the afterimage, and the speed of pulling the bow was also as fast as thunder.

"Good archery skills!"

Amugu looked at the arrows that kept coming at him and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "You are a first-class genius in horse archery, but unfortunately, you are not from our grassland! Don't waste your energy, even a bow with a force of more than ten stones can't hurt me!"

He waved the vajra in his hand, easily deflecting the rain of arrows and pouncing in the air like a tiger.

"clang--"

The reed spear and the vajra collided with each other.

In an instant, Chen Sanshi felt an indescribable terrifying force coming from the tip of the spear, which was transmitted to his arms with a bang. The blood of dragon and elephant danced wildly in his body. He turned into a body of diamond from head to toe, and his arms holding the spear even made a metallic vibration sound.

Even so, he still felt a severe pain sweeping over him. The hardwood gun barrel swung back and forth like rubber, and he had to let go and let it fall.

"Death!"

Amugu came in front of him in a moment and stabbed his heart with the vajra.

"clang!"

There was another metallic sound, like the ringing of a bell.

Chen Sanshi held the Zhenyue Sword across his body and barely blocked the attack. He felt as if a mountain was crashing towards him. His body lost balance and flew backwards several feet before hitting a tree trunk heavily. His internal organs were hurt. He forced himself to steady his body and after landing, he inserted the Zhenyue Sword into the ground for support. His right hand was still holding the torch, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

This is the first time I’ve been injured since I started practicing martial arts.

It's not because he's weak.

But the opponent is for Tongmai!

Tongmai, Xuanxiang, and Wusheng.

In other words, the Wushen believer in front of him is only one major realm away from becoming a Martial Saint.

"Not bad, you survived my two attacks, that's impressive!"

Amugu spoke without giving the opponent any chance and once again burst out with astonishing speed and rushed forward.

"Shhhhh-"

Chen Sanshi stuck the torch upside down into the ground, changed the weapon in his hand to a bow and arrow again, lit the fire, drew the bow and released the arrow in one go.

Amugu caught a rocket, and an invisible terrible force emanated from his palm, which directly extinguished the flame and then crushed the iron cage and twisted it.

"call out--"

Another rocket came.

"You won't cry until you see the coffin?"

Amugu used the same trick again and caught the arrow effortlessly. He was planning to break it directly, but he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the rocket and it was a bit hot.

"Ok?"

"boom--"

A red flame burst out and instantly turned into a fire dragon several feet high. The leader of the Witch God Church didn't even have time to scream before he was swallowed by the red flame and turned into a pile of ashes.

Chen Sanshi let out a long sigh, then sat down on the ground and used breathing techniques to control the injuries in his body.

In the end, we had to resort to necessary measures.

He had already made all the necessary preparations.

Even if the arrows are useless.

The Zhenyue Sword had already been coated with lamp oil, and it only needed to be ignited to cut through everything.

But he was reluctant to do so and planned to use it for the last time.

The sword of the mortal world cannot withstand the fire of the immortal treasure either.

It would be a pity if such a good sword were burned.

As for exposure.

He had been keeping an eye on the rest of the Wushen followers and knew that they were not following him.

Even if you follow me.

There are not many people, only a dozen or so. After killing the Tongmai master, it will be just a matter of killing chickens and dogs.

They were lucky that they didn't come along.

"Open the meridians..."

Chen Sanshi saw that the man was able to use a unique force, which should be strength, and it could also be attached to the surface of the body or weapons.

"I don't know if it can be attached to arrows."

"Otherwise, the bow and arrow's lethality would not be enough for high-level warriors."

"It takes a lot of time to refine the internal organs."

He still likes the feeling of killing one arrow with one arrow.

"This is not the time to think about this."

Chen Sanshi casually ate some healing pills that he had prepared in advance, then stood up and scattered the ashes left by Amugu, making sure that no trace was left. Then he started a fire and ignited the nearby woods.

There was a furry feeling on my face.

When Chihiro saw that the battle was over, she automatically came back and rubbed against him, as if to express her concern.

"It's not a serious injury. It's okay. Let's go."

Chen Sanshi picked up the reed spear, jumped on his horse and rode away.

……

The next day, the main force.

"what?"

"Open the meridians?!"

Sun Buqi stared at Tang Ruoshan, who was like a dead pig, with his eyes wide open: "Where is Sanshi? You guys are leaving him alone to deal with Tongmai?!"

"He ordered us to rescue Wang Zhi, and he led the Wushen Cult's meridian master away alone..."

Zhao Kang and others also looked worried.

But obedience is the most important thing in the army.

Since they have decided to recognize Chen Sanshi as the commander, they must obey orders, whether they are told to die or to retreat.

"I gonna go see."

As Sun Buqi said this, he was about to pick up his gun and mount his horse.

"You can't do that, Master Sun!"

A group of people hurriedly pulled him back: "Master Chen's horse Bai Hu is extremely fast, and he might have already gotten rid of it. If you go over like this, you might become a burden."

Sun Buqi was hesitant.

"I'm fine!"

A familiar voice and a white horse appear.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"How is Wang Zhi?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Is he dead?"

"No."

Zhao Kang put his hand on his neck and said, "He's still breathing, but I don't think he'll live much longer." Chen Sanshi took out all the healing medicines on his body and gave them to the fat man's nephews and nephews to take care of.

As for whether he can hold on, it all depends on Wang Zhi's own luck.

Again.

There are always casualties on the battlefield.

"What a death!"

Sun Buqi cursed, but there was no excitement in his eyes.

His impression of this fat man remained in his childhood when he could just remember things. He often followed Tang Ruoshan around, and the other party did not mind his mischief. Sometimes, he would not even practice martial arts, but would take him to climb trees. The man named Tang could climb very high, and he would always scare him to the point of peeing his pants.

Until later, the third brother followed him and left and never came back...

Actually, my sister is right.

Sometimes we can't just blame Tang Ruoshan, he was also trying to save his father. If we have to blame someone, we should blame the emperor.

"Map!"

Chen Sanshi asked, "How are the pursuers doing?"

"Reply to your Excellency's words."

Zhao Kang replied: "The ambush in the canyon can delay for a while. The people in front are also speeding up. We will reach Hongze River in about two days. After crossing the river, we will reach Huanwen County.

"only……

“It’s too late.

"We are about to enter the plain area. The barbarian cavalry will catch up with us soon. There are more than 20,000 of them, and they will most likely bypass the mountains and appear directly at this location, which is in front of the people.

"They really don't intend to let any of them go."

"Twenty thousand..."

After all the losses along the way, the only available people in Chen Sanshi's hands, together with Wang Zhi's nephews and nephews, were only a thousand or so, and a considerable number of them were green hands.

"grown ups--"

When thinking about countermeasures.

Xu Wencai's voice was heard. He didn't know how to ride a horse, so he asked Zhu Tong to ride. He sat at the back, looking like he was about to be thrown out.

"grown ups!"

He showed an expression of ecstasy: "There's salvation, there's salvation!"

"What can be saved?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "Are there any reinforcements?"

"Fifty thousand troops!"

Xu Wencai stretched out his hand and slapped his hand: "At the front of the team, there are a large number of soldiers coming from Huanwen County. They are carrying the flag of Youzhou Guards and say they are here to rescue Yunzhou. They are asking the people about the specific situation in Yunzhou!"

The Youzhou garrison soldiers mentioned by Han Cheng, including the reserve generals, arrived ahead of schedule!

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

Chen Sanshi immediately rode forward.

Along the way.

All the tricks that could be used have long been used up.

Next, even if Han Xin or Zhuge Liang came, they would have to fight in close combat. There was absolutely no other way to delay time.

But if there really were 50,000 troops coming to support us.

There is a way out for everyone!

……

In the endless wasteland.

Thousands of people carried their luggage and walked forward, supporting each other.

"Da da da da da-"

Suddenly, the ground began to shake.

There was a cloud of smoke and dust rising ahead.

Soon after, dense masses of cavalry came into view.

The people were startled, thinking that the barbarians had caught up with them so quickly.

But he reacted quickly.

These are not the barbarian cavalry, but the cavalry of the Great Sheng Dynasty!
On the military flag flying high, there was clearly a huge word "盛" (Sheng), which means prosperity in the prosperous times.

The generals at the front are even more majestic, and each of them is a young talent!

"Shut up!"

After encountering the civilians, the army slowed down and sent out cavalry in small groups to approach the crowd.

"Master Jun!"

"..."

When the common people saw their savior, excitement was written all over their faces.

They took out the little dry food they had left and said, "Soldier, you have worked hard on the journey. Eat something and drink something!"

"There are sesame seeds in this cake. I have never eaten such a delicious cake in my life. You guys try it."

"..."

A 20-year-old, handsome, armored general sat on his horse. He looked down at the people in coarse linen clothes and said in an emotionless voice, "Where are you from?"

"In reply to the master, we were all led by Master Chen to escape from Poyang, Yunzhou!"

"Poyang? Where?"

"Anding Prefecture, it seems to be under the jurisdiction of Anding Prefecture!"

"County? I'm not asking about that. I'm asking about the specific situation in Yunzhou."

"What's the specific situation? What does the general mean?"

"You are talking about the war, right? We don't understand that either."

"I heard that there seem to be barbarians everywhere."

"There are people chasing us from behind!"

"But now that you are here, we are safe!"

"..."

Seeing that he could not get any information out of the young general, he gradually lost his patience and rode away on his horse to find someone else to ask.

"Wait, General, try this dried meat. It's left by the barbarians. It's delicious."

"Get out of the way." The young general seemed not to hear.

"You can take it with you and eat it on the road."

"roll!"

The young general frowned and used the long handle of the weapon in his hand to sweep the civilians to the ground.

"puff……"

The skinny man spit out blood on the spot.

"How do you hit someone?"

"You... why?"

"Are you guys the Barbarians in disguise?!"

"..."

The bald man was nearby, and he cursed from a distance: "Hey! You are so brave!"

"Snapped--"

"I'm going to beat you, a bunch of poor bastards!"

The young general raised his hand and whipped an old man to death on the spot. Then he mobilized his blood and energy and said in a loud voice:
"You bunch of unruly people, do you know that you are blocking the route of my army?

"Quickly get out of here!

"It's fine if you get trampled to death! But if you trip up a warhorse, can you afford the compensation?"

Dead silence.

Tens of thousands of people stopped in their tracks, and nearly 100,000 pairs of eyes looked at the general on horseback. The joy and excitement on their faces disappeared without a trace, and instead, they were replaced by the usual

Only at this moment did they remember.

They are the lowest class of untouchables.

The scene of harmony between the military and civilians will only appear when they are needed to risk their lives!
In this world, perhaps only the man named Chen would say to them: "Anyone who volunteers can follow the army, and we in the army will cover your rear!"

"General, please spare my life..."

At this moment, people recall the fear that has been ingrained in their bones for generations.

They dared not get any closer and scattered in all directions like frightened animals, leaving the flattest and easiest road open for the cavalry in front with the "Dasheng" flag to pass.
