Chapter 77 One-man ambush
Chapter 77 One Man Against All
Ta-ta-ta.
Finally, the sound of galloping hooves came from afar.
The sound of horses' hooves was somewhat chaotic.
"Line up!"
Xu Ning was the first to notice the commotion and immediately gave the order.
"The sound of horses' hooves is very loud, everyone be careful."
Xu Ning reminded everyone.
In an instant, everyone was ready for battle.
They immediately mounted their horses, gripped the reins, held their weapons, and stared intently into the distance.
Soon, a group of people appeared in the field of vision.
This group consisted of more than ten people, and the leader happened to be Tan Fengying from Tan Family Village, who was Xu Ning's former rival.
Behind Tan Fengying followed the black-armored guards and other bodyguards in different uniforms.
The guards were surrounded by black-armored guards, and on the guards' horses, there were several people dressed in silk and brocade riding alongside them.
At this moment, a group of people arrived, covered in dust and dirt.
However, there was no blood on their weapons or clothes, and no one was injured, so it is estimated that no battle took place.
As Tan Fengying sped along, she kept looking back, as if to make sure there were no pursuers behind her.
"Tan Fengying?"
Xu Ning was quite surprised to see that the leader was Tan Fengying.
But he didn't stop; he immediately spurred his horse forward to meet them.
"Xu Ning?"
Upon seeing Xu Ning coming to meet her, Tan Fengying instantly recognized him.
"We're safe now!"
The moment Tan Fengying saw Xu Ning, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he had lost to Xu Ning and fallen out of the top tier, Tan Fengying did not harbor much hatred towards Xu Ning. On the contrary, he acknowledged Xu Ning's strength from the bottom of his heart.
"Captain Xu!"
Tan Fengying reined in his horse and said anxiously, "We have pursuers behind us, numbering more than twenty. They delayed their pursuit earlier because they were searching for our abandoned carriage, but now they're probably catching up soon."
"Thank you for your hard work. You take your men back to the county town first, and we will follow behind the group to escort them."
Seeing this, Xu Ning didn't hesitate and spoke directly.
Upon hearing this, Tan Fengying nodded and said, "Thank you very much!"
Tan Fengying pulled on the reins and led the group forward.
The messengers from the Fengliu Lane garrison followed behind the escort team.
"Judging from this, they've really had a tough time."
Xu Ning observed that the people being escorted were all wearing long robes, which made it inconvenient for them to ride horses.
Clearly, they had come by carriage, but encountered enemies on the way. The carriage was too slow to escape, so they had to ride on the guards' horses and flee in panic.
"Having abandoned the carriage, I've probably lost a lot of the belongings I brought. If I don't have plenty of silver notes on me, even if I arrive safely in Kangyun County, I'll still be at the mercy of others..."
Xu Ning had basically anticipated the life of this wealthy businessman and his family after they arrived in Kangyun County.
"Um?"
Following closely behind the escort team, Xu Ning heard the sound of horses' hooves again from behind.
The pursuers are catching up.
"You've been chasing me for so long, why haven't you given up yet?"
Xu Ning immediately pulled on the reins and said to Tao Qingping, Song Weiyi, and the others, "You continue to follow the escort team. I'll cover the rear."
"grown ups!"
Song Weiyi immediately responded, "I'll go with you."
"Me too."
Tao Qingping quickly responded.
"You're just a burden to me."
Xu Ning didn't mince words either.
In fact, if there were only a few people who needed escorting, Xu Ning could manage on her own.
With his Qi-movement Realm strength, Xu Ning is virtually invincible unless he encounters a high-ranking rebel leader. Even if the opponent consists of more than twenty people, Xu Ning is not afraid at all.
"this……"
Tao Qingping and Song Weiyi exchanged a glance, and finally had no choice but to accept the order.
"careful."
Tao Qingping gave a few words of advice, and then he and Song Weiyi caught up with the group ahead.
Xu Ning, riding his warhorse, stood in the middle of the road, waiting for the pursuers to arrive.
Soon, another group of people appeared in Xu Ning's field of vision.
As Tan Fengying said, this group of people numbered more than twenty.
The rebel pursuers were also dressed in black armor, but they had three bloody gashes on their chests.
"Someone is blocking the way!"
The leader of the pursuers spotted Xu Ning.
"It's a captain from the Black Armor Guard!"
The leader of the pursuers was also a member of the Black Armor Guard, so he naturally recognized Xu Ning's attire.
"What should we do, boss? Should we continue the pursuit?"
A pursuer nearby also noticed the black-armored guards of captain rank blocking the way, and quickly asked what was going on.
The captain of the Black Armor Guard is at least a powerful expert at the fourth level of the Mortal Realm, the Qi Sensing Realm.
No one in their group could rival them.
After weighing the options, the leader of the pursuing troops finally made a decision: "Let's retreat!"
In fact, even the leader of the pursuers couldn't be sure whether Xu Ning, who was blocking their way, was a real captain or just someone wearing a captain's uniform to put on an act and scare people.
After all, Xu Ning looks far too young.
However, because the pursuit had lasted too long, they were also afraid that Kangyun County would send people to chase them back, and then they would really be in danger.
"withdraw!"
The leader of the pursuers shouted again.
He was still somewhat unwilling.
After all, it seems a bit too cautious to run away just because you saw one person.
"They escaped?"
Xu Ning was surprised to see that the other party would be so decisive.
But Xu Ning didn't decide to let them go.
Kangyun County is now in a state of war preparedness, and killing enemy rebels is considered a military achievement.
"drive!"
Xu Ning spurred his horse and gave chase.
"Boss, that captain is coming after us!"
At this moment, someone exclaimed in alarm.
This man, who dared to pursue more than twenty people single-handedly, must be a true captain.
"trouble!"
The leader of the pursuers was getting impatient. He glanced back at Xu Ning, gritted his teeth, and said, "Stop running, turn around and take him down!"
The leader of the pursuers' decision was not entirely reckless.
There were more than twenty of them, including three Inner Qi Realm warriors and the rest, most of whom were in the Bone and Tendon Realm, so their strength was not weak.
In a one-on-one situation, they would have no chance of winning, but right now, although they are weaker, they have the advantage in numbers.
Although there can be a huge difference in strength between mortal realm martial artists due to differences in level, no matter what, the mortal realm is still just the mortal realm. Even a mortal realm ninth level spiritual realm martial artist can only die on the spot when facing a powerful army.
Moreover, the pursuers' leader and his men had undergone specialized collective combat training. Once they formed a battle formation, they would certainly be able to kill a Qi Sensing Realm martial artist, even at the cost of casualties.
In the eyes of the pursuer leader, Xu Ning was so young that he must have only recently advanced to the Qi Sensing Realm.
"Get into formation! Prepare for battle!"
The leader of the pursuers shouted.
"A counterattack?"
Xu Ning saw that the other side had also turned around, ready to fight him to the bitter end.
Xu Ning remained calm, took the longbow from his back, pulled an arrow from his quiver, and nocked it.
He hadn't used his archery skills in a long time, but the current situation presented an opportunity for him to put them to good use.
Whoosh!
The light feather bow technique is used to shoot an arrow.
puff!
The lead pursuer was shot through the throat and fell off his horse.
Although Xu Ning's Light Feather Bow Technique is only at a minor level, he has now advanced to the Qi Movement Realm, greatly increasing his strength and accuracy. Moreover, after his Gale Blade Technique reached perfection, Xu Ning became extremely sensitive to airflow.
In Xu Ning's hands, even a minor mastery of the Light Feather Bow Technique can unleash tremendous destructive power.
puff!
puff!
In the blink of an eye, several more arrows flew out.
One by one, the pursuers fell off their horses.
The once complete charging formation was now riddled with holes from the sharp front.
"Boss, let's run! Let's split up and run!"
Finally, someone broke down.
If they gritted their teeth and went in, before they even made face-to-face contact, most of the people would be killed.
Then, if the formation falls into disarray, they will surely be slaughtered without exception by this young captain.
The pursuing leader, filled with hatred, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Split up and retreat!"
Upon receiving the order, the already disrupted formation immediately dispersed and fled.
Each person chose a different direction, and their movements were very skillful, clearly indicating that they had practiced splitting up to escape.
"Decisive enough!"
Upon seeing this, Xu Ning immediately gave chase.
The targets of the pursuit were clearly the leaders of the pursuing group.
Whoosh whoosh!
Even though he was on horseback, Xu Ning's arrows never missed, despite the jolting and bumping.
Finally, Xu Ning got close to the leader of the pursuers.
He drew the bowstring again.
Whoosh!
An arrow was shot.
