The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 195: Pursuit (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote for the monthly ticket)
I don’t know how many monsters are watching me from all around.

As long as Wu Qiuyuan said a word, he didn't even need to identify Su Mu and others as the Taiping Captain. As long as he said he didn't know them, those monsters would probably rush over immediately.

Not to mention the Taiping Captain, even the Taiping Division Pacification Envoy or even the Commander-in-Chief would have to die here.

Su Mu, Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others were all worried.

Shi Ziran was already silently gathering his strength, preparing to break the rope.

Although he didn't know Wu Qiuyuan, he knew from the reactions of Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan that the person in front of him knew them!

pat!

Cold sweat dripped from Wu Qiuyuan's forehead.

Su Mu and others were afraid, and he was afraid too.

If the identities of Su Mu and others were exposed, Su Mu, Xu Chongyuan and others would definitely be dead, but he would not be able to survive either.

Why is he so unlucky?
I clearly did something wrong, but it was discovered by someone I knew.

If Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan were allowed to leave alive, wouldn't the fact that he, Wu Qiuyuan, appeared in the Demon Court be exposed?

He can't afford either consequence.

"If we are friends, why did you do that?"

The monster that led Wu Qiuyuan in looked at Su Mu and said in confusion.

“It’s our way of saying hello.”

Su Mu said expressionlessly.

"Brother Wu, don't you think so?"

"Why do not you speak?"

Seeing that Wu Qiuyuan didn't say anything, the monster asked in confusion.

"Yes—yes."

Wu Qiuyuan said subconsciously.

The monster that led him in smiled ugly when he heard that and waved his hand, "Go away, it's okay, they are friends. Humans have a really weird way of greeting each other. I almost thought he was going to kill him."

The monsters surrounding them also laughed.

"I find all those rules of human beings a headache, but I didn't expect that they even have so many ways to say hello."

The monsters complained one after another, "There's the fist-clasping salute, there's the bowing salute, there's the kneeling salute, and now there's the covering the mouth salute. This is damn hard to learn."

"What are you talking about? Did I say anything?"

A monster said.

It has no claws, only hooves, and its cultivation is not enough to transform it into a human hand. It cannot do things like bowing or covering its mouth.

The monsters complained and dispersed.

The monster that led Wu Qiuyuan in said to Wu Qiuyuan, "Since you two know each other, do you want to go see the general together?"

"Together, we must be together!"

Xu Chongyuan said without hesitation.

Although it is unclear why Wu Qiuyuan appeared here, they must not let Wu Qiuyuan out of their sight at the moment.

Otherwise, once Wu Qiuyuan explained their identities to the general of the Demon Court, they would have no time to escape back to Huju Pass.

Only by following Wu Qiuyuan closely and threatening him not to talk nonsense can we fight for a chance of survival.

At worst, he could always drag Wu Qiuyuan down with him.

"Let's go, together."

Su Mu put his hand on Wu Qiuyuan's shoulder and said lightly.

"It's not necessary."

There was a hint of pleading in Wu Qiuyuan's voice, "I can go see the general myself."

"How can that be possible?"

Xu Chongyuan took two steps forward, and he and Su Mu sandwiched him in the middle, one on each side. "Let's go, Brother Wu, go meet the general quickly, and let's go back to Huju Pass together."

"Are you done?"

The monster leading the way said impatiently, "If you want to chat, wait until we get back to your own territory. Now hurry up and follow me to see the general. The general is still waiting for your news.

Have you determined the time to open the city gates?"

Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Wu Qiuyuan is actually a traitor!
Is he a Pure Land Buddhist?

Or is it that the Wu family is colluding with the Pure Land Sect and the Demon Court?
This is definitely big news.

The Wu family is one of the largest families in the Daxuan Dynasty. They are different from the Wen family in Jiangzuo.

Although the Jiangzuo Wen family had prospered for several generations, they were, after all, a family of civil officials.

But the Wu family started out with martial arts, and there are countless strong people in the family. Many of the Wu family's disciples hold important positions. Even in those major sects, there are many Wu family disciples.

If the Wu family rebelled, the consequences would be countless times more serious than if the Wen family rebelled.

The Pure Land Sect is already enough of a headache, and now even the Wu family is involved.

If they really let open the gate of Huju Pass and attack from both inside and outside, Huju Pass would be in real danger.

Wu Qiuyuan secretly groaned in his heart. He looked to the left and then to the right.

These people really don't give him a chance to live!

Now Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan have heard the purpose of his visit. If he lets them go back alive, he will not survive.

He made up his mind and gritted his teeth.

Either way, it's death!
You forced me to do this!
"General, they are the Taiping Captains!"

Wu Qiuyuan suddenly lunged forward and yelled at the top of his lungs.

The moment he roared, Wu Qiuyuan's blood surged and he concentrated all his strength on his legs.

As long as he can hold on a little longer, the monster will kill Su Mu and Xu Chongyuan, and he will survive.

Just hold on!
Wu Qiuyuan rushed forward with all his might.

He just felt that he was as light as a swallow and his speed was much faster than usual.

Subconsciously turning his head, Wu Qiuyuan suddenly saw a pair of very familiar legs.

At this moment, a sharp pain surged into my heart.

When he looked down, Wu Qiuyuan discovered that his upper body and lower body had been separated.

boom!
Wu Qiuyuan's upper body fell heavily to the ground, a full ten feet away from his lower body.

After his body was cut off, his upper body was thrown far away, but his legs in the lower body still ran forward two steps before falling down.

The moment Wu Qiuyuan spoke, Su Mu knew that things were going to get bad.

Failure is a success!

Without any hesitation, he drew his sword and cut Wu Qiuyuan in half with one stroke.

After slashing with the sword, Su Mu didn't even look at the result, and his figure had already rushed out of the military camp.

"go!"

Boom!
Shi Ziran broke the rope on his body and ran forward closely following Su Mu.

Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others did not hesitate and ran forward desperately.

By the time the monster leading the way reacted, they had already run dozens of feet away.

"Captain of the Taiping? They are the Captains of the Taiping!"

The monster leading the way let out an angry roar.

The contact person sent by the Pure Land Sect was killed, which was his dereliction of duty.

"Get 'em!"

The monster shouted loudly after realizing it.

At this time, Su Mu had already rushed out of the military camp.

Those monsters hadn't reacted to what was happening yet and didn't try to stop them.

"Brother Erzhong——"

The captain of the demon soldiers who had been walking with them came over and saw their appearance. He was a little surprised and shouted, "What are you doing?"

"Go for a run and relax."

Xu Chongyuan said.

Puff! A long knife pierced into the belly of the demon soldier captain.

The captain of the demon soldiers was not on guard at all.

It widened its eyes and was about to exert force to knock Xu Chongyuan away, but a flash of a knife passed by and its head flew up.

"go!"

Su Mu threw Xu Chongyuan away.

"bow!"

he shouted.

Before entering the military camp of the Demon Court, in order to facilitate movement, he asked Zhong Guizheng to help him carry the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Guizheng took off the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow from his back while running and threw it towards Su Mu.

Su Mu leaped into the air, grabbed the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow in his hand, and shot an arrow with his backhand.

boom!
With a loud bang, a blood-red arrow exploded in the place where monsters gathered in the military camp, and a five-colored flame broke out, sweeping dozens of monsters in.

Su Mu kept moving and shot ten arrows in a row!
The entire military camp immediately fell into chaos.

Su Mu only felt his arms were sore.

But he couldn't care less about anything now. After shooting, he ran away.

Are you kidding? If you don’t run away, you will be caught up by the demon soldiers from the Demon Court and you will be dead.

In the demon court’s military camp, ten fires were burning everywhere, causing the demons to run around in panic.

But soon, a long roar was heard in the military camp.

The violent gust of wind instantly extinguished the five-colored flames.

A tall bull-headed monster appeared outside the tent, emitting a soaring aura.

Its eyes were filled with anger and a hint of shame.

It, the great general of the Demon Court, was actually deceived by a few weak humans.

It’s tolerable, it’s unbearable!

"Bring them back alive! I want to skin them alive piece by piece!"

The minotaur roared angrily.

The roar of the monster was heard, and the earth shook instantly.

Countless monsters chased after Su Mu and his companions.

The dust raised by the monster's running rose up like a long dragon.

"Oh my god, that's so scary."

Xu Chongyuan ran while cursing, wishing he had been born with two more legs.

They even used all their strength to suck milk.

Fortunately, Su Mu had just used the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow to start a fire, causing chaos in the Demon Court’s military camp.

Otherwise they would have been surrounded by now.

Even so, their situation is not optimistic.

Behind him, a long dragon of smoke and dust rose into the sky, and a powerful monster was already speeding up.

Except for the bull-headed monster that did not take action personally, the third-level monsters and even the fourth-level monsters have already started chasing.

They just seized the initiative. In terms of speed, many third-level monsters are faster than them, not to mention fourth-level monsters.

"Run towards Huju Pass. As long as you reach the city, you will be saved!"

Su Mu shouted.

Before he finished speaking, he could hear loud rumbling sounds coming from both sides.

Several people turned their heads and saw dust flying up, covering half the sky like a dark cloud.

For a moment, several people looked at each other in silence.

All that was heard was a rumbling sound like thunder, and countless monsters came from three directions.

Su Mu and his companions have seen many cases of slaying demons and eliminating evil.

But they had never heard of tens of thousands of monsters being driven forward.

This is many times more powerful than the level 5 monster tide that Wuling City encountered before.

When they faced the fifth-level monster tide, they still had the city walls to rely on, and they had many helpers around them.

Now there are only eight of them.

Even though they were all extremely courageous, facing such power that could change the color of heaven and earth, they were still terrified and broke out in cold sweats.

It happened so quickly that, except for the direction of Huju Pass, the demon soldiers of the Demon Court had completed the encirclement on the other three sides.

Dozens of powerful monsters rushed to the front, only twenty feet away from the few people.

One of the monsters even threw out the spear in his hand.

With a whistling sound, Zhong Guizheng turned around and slashed with his sword.

With a crisp sound, the long sword hit the tip of the spear, and a streak of sparks flew out.

The powerful force caused Zhong Guizheng's arm to swing away violently, and the long sword almost fell out of his hand.

But the spear continued to move forward and was about to pierce his body.

He was the least experienced and the weakest among all the Taiping captains. He was the last one to come in and ended up being the target of the monster's attack.

Zhong Guizheng sighed inwardly. He never expected that he was so weak that he couldn't even withstand the monster's attack.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a force surging from his collar, and then he began to rise into the sky.

While he was in the air, he saw Su Mu appear where he had just stood and chopped the tip of the spear with a knife.

With a hoarse and unpleasant friction sound, the spear finally deviated and flew high into the air.

But due to this delay, the monsters had already chased Su Mu to within ten feet.

Zheng!
Su Mu pulled the Five Fires Heaven-shaking Bow again and shot an arrow.

While the monster was blocked by the flames, he turned around and ran away without any intention of fighting.

Zhong Guizheng fell from the air and had already run from the end of the team to the front.

He gritted his teeth and ran forward, shouting, "Brother Su, don't worry about me, just go first!"

"Junior Brother Su, this place is still dozens of miles away from Huju Pass. It is impossible for all of us to escape. If we can, let's go. You don't have to worry about us."

Xu Chongyuan also spoke loudly.

The other Taiping captains also echoed loudly.

"I know what to do. Run, and no one is allowed to look back!"

Su Mu shouted in a deep voice and turned around to shoot another arrow.

The Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow, which had been invincible before, now seemed particularly weak.

The arrows it shot were completely unable to harm those fourth-level monsters and could only delay them for a few seconds at best.

However, using the Five Fires Shocking Sky Bow would greatly consume his physical strength.

Using the Five Fires Shocking Heaven Bow now is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

But if they don't use that, in a few moments at most, those fourth-order monsters will catch up with them.

It is hard to say whether he can escape by then. Xu Chongyuan, Zhong Guizheng and others will definitely have no chance of survival.

Not to mention the fourth-order monsters, even the third-order monsters are beyond their ability to handle.

The most correct way now is indeed as Zhong Guizheng and Xu Chongyuan said, ignore them, go first, and let them be caught up by the monster.

If they could delay for a while, they might have a chance to escape back to Huju Pass.

"If I did that, I would really be failing in my duties.

I'm not a hero, I just can't bear to give up the performance points I've earned."

Su Mu said to himself.

A look of pain flashed across his face.

Swish!
A jade disc was thrown out by Su Mu.

Then a command flag appeared in his hand and he threw it out, sinking straight into the ground.

boom!
A flame shot up into the sky, stopping the monster in its tracks.
