Chapter 86 Pursuers

These words immediately turned the previously cheerful atmosphere into a somber one.

Zhou Meng was considered a senior member of the Li family's entourage, and the surrounding Li family members all knew him. Upon hearing Zhou Meng's words, they instinctively became wary.

Immediately, everyone's gaze fell on Li Qian. Although he did not speak, the look in his eyes spoke volumes.

Young master, isn't Xu Guang going a bit too far?

Does he consider the people of our Li family as his subordinates?

Li Qian, enduring the gazes of these people, silently looked at Xu Guang.

Xu Guang happened to be looking at him as well.

Their eyes met, and he took a deep breath.

"Uncle Zhou, what's in your bag?"

Zhou Meng grew increasingly agitated, "Young Master!!"

"He clearly had ill intentions; my bag contained all my savings from all these years."

The voice was full of emotion, conveying grievance, anger, frustration, and sadness.

Xu Guang scoffed.

The next moment, his figure swayed and he disappeared on the horse's back.

When they reappeared, they were already on Zhou Meng's horse.

Zhou Meng sensed something amiss behind him, his expression changed drastically, and he twisted his body, delivering a vicious elbow strike to his own back.

boom!

Zhou Meng's screams rang out.

His arm was gripped by Xu Guang, and an unparalleled, terrifying force traveled from the point of contact between them to Zhou Meng's entire body.

"Can you tell me what this is?"

Xu Guang reached into the bag at Zhou Meng's waist and pulled out a yellow granule the size of a peanut, which looked like a small pebble, or something else entirely.

Ignoring the pain, Zhou Meng's expression changed drastically. "Young Master Xu, I can give you my property if you want it, just please spare my life." Then his gaze swept quickly over Li Qian. "From now on, I will follow your lead."

This glance caused a slight change in the expression of the Li family's retainers around them.

Xu Guang admired it in his heart.

This world really does turn everyone into an actor; Zhou Meng has quite a few hidden thoughts this week.

His words contained a sense of weakness, frustration, and resignation. His glance was even more subtle; it swept over the silent Li Qian without making a request, but it conveyed a lot of meaning: the Li family was unreliable, so he wanted to follow Xu Guang.

Firstly, it was to sow discord between the Li family and the worshippers, and secondly, it was to imply that the Li family had lost power.

Xu Guang remained expressionless. "Young Master Li, you can deal with this man yourself. But as an ally, I must remind you that we need to leave as soon as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, the pursuers will be here very soon."

Li Qian immediately understood why Xu Guang was targeting Zhou Meng. Although he didn't know why Xu Guang made such a judgment based solely on that small yellow pebble, he also knew that time was of the essence.

"it is good."

"Are there really pursuers?"

Du Changwei couldn't help but ask.

Xu Guang nodded and personally rode his horse to inform the yamen troops to speed up their advance.

However, he did not look well. Given the current state of the government troops, it would be difficult for him to ask the pursuers for help.

Their speed—is too slow.

Sure enough, they passed through a forest.

A sharp, low sound kept coming from both sides, as if a large number of strange apes were constantly emitting sharp cries.

The oxcarts and horses in the caravan were all halted and uneasy by the noise.

"Who's there!?"

It was the voice of Li's great-uncle.

Zhou Meng wasn't exactly a tough guy; he gave in within fifteen minutes.

"Kill only Xu Guang and the Li family; the rest will kneel and be spared!"

In an instant, amidst a burst of sharp laughter, a large number of dark soldiers surged out from the forests on both sides. These soldiers were not of uniformity.

At the front were soldiers in black armor riding huge black boars and wielding serrated broadswords, followed by soldiers wearing ill-fitting armor.

Du Zhong's eyes were solemn as he spoke in a low voice.

"Sun Ganxuan is indeed a man of deep cunning."

"They are the legendary Sawtooth Army."

Du Zhong held a high position in the military. He had heard people say that Sun Ganxuan had created an elite force called the Sawtooth Army, but it was difficult to tell if it was true or not.

After all, the human and financial resources required to build an elite force should not be underestimated.

The more detailed and convincing the rumor, the more likely it is to be false in their eyes. Over the years, they have heard countless stories of their opponents building invincible elite forces during wars.

But what was truly unexpected was that the story of Sun Ganxuan secretly forming an elite force was actually true.

Fortunately, although the Sawtooth Army is elite, it is not an easy task for them to launch a large-scale attack in a short period of time.

The actual number of soldiers belonging to the Sawtooth Army was only about a hundred; the rest were private soldiers trained by companies like Wangjiawubao.

But no one felt any relief.

These serrated soldiers were no ordinary men. Each soldier, riding on a black boar, was like a small giant, wielding a serrated broadsword over three meters long, easily sweeping down trees as thick as bowls, and laughing wildly as they came.

"Charge! Charge!! Archers, flank them, don't fight head-on! Spearmen, form ranks, hold the line!"

Du Zhong, with his rich experience in command, quickly made arrangements.

These serrated soldiers are clearly characterized by their skill in charging.

The most crucial thing is to withstand the first wave of attack.

Xu Guang ignored the ordinary soldiers. He clearly felt two extremely terrifying auras locked onto him.

From afar, he saw the source of the two auras.

One of them was a member of the Sawtooth Army, with an extremely terrifying physique, standing at a height of 2.5 meters, and wielding a terrifying spiked club.

The other one is—a demon!

A snake demon.

"die!"

The serrated army commander looked at Xu Guang and grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

He immediately urged the black boar on his horse and charged rapidly down the mountain toward Xu Guang's location.

Vast and boundless, like a mountain collapsing, it churned up black mist.

Xu Guang's expression changed slightly. This man's charging momentum was completely beyond what the spear formation of the imperial guards could withstand.

Only—

Draw them away.

He rushed out of the ranks and swung his black sword at the enemy.

"interesting!"

The commander of the Sawtooth Army grinned maliciously and quickly responded to Xu Guang's provocation.

As the black pigs charged, trees tumbled and dirt flew everywhere.

Xu Guang's figure flashed swiftly through the forest, like a floating duckweed, with nowhere to land, yet landing everywhere.

The sneer on the face of the sawtooth army commander became more and more obvious. When he was about a hundred meters away from Xu Guang, he suddenly roared.

In an instant.

It was as if an earth dragon had turned over and a tiger had roared across the mountains.

The entire forest seemed to tremble, the terrifying sound waves carrying a captivating power.

Xu Guang's expression changed drastically.

He had cultivated to the point of divine attainment, and his spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary people. He could clearly feel that the other party's roar was constantly impacting his spiritual world.

He even felt the real dragon he had visualized being constantly shaken.

Where did Sun Ganxuan get so many experts from?!

As the dragon's roar resounded, Xu Guang tried his best to suppress the impact of the roar on his mental world, while simultaneously mobilizing his blood and qi and activating the Jade Tower Force to suppress its effects on his physical body.

But at that moment, the snake demon that had been standing on the giant tree, as if watching a show, made a move.

Its body slithered down the giant tree like a snake.

A beam of light suddenly shot out from his pale green eyes.

The impact of the giant's roar increased by 50% out of nowhere!

In Xu Guang's spiritual world, the visualized dragon trembled even more violently!
