Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 79: Ten Days Later, the Gang Leader Will Be Executed
Sun Yanwan just gave it a try, but she didn't expect the effect to be so good!

The Blood Wolf Riders had no intention of looking back. Everyone galloped on their horses, wanting to leave others behind.

He bent the bow calmly, concentrated on putting arrows on it, and emptied two quivers. His riding and archery skills actually improved slightly. With two bags of forty feather arrows, he shot down seven Northern Yan horse bandits.

At this time, the five men had caught up with the last Blood Wolf Rider. Zhang Ji waved his spear and stabbed down three Blood Wolf Riders in succession.

Linghu Shao was an average rider and not very good at swordsmanship. He fought with a Blood Wolf Rider for a long time but was unable to kill him. It was Ding Fenshou who was standing by and stole a rope dart, which hit the Blood Wolf Rider in the neck and took his head.

Sun Yanwan still found archery interesting and didn't switch to a spear. Seeing Yu Jinting also wanting to take action, he was afraid that Yu Jinting might be in danger, so he called out, "Jinting, collect the slain Blood Wolf Rider's mount. I'll need it later."

He had some common sense about riding horses and knew that horses did not have that much endurance. If he wanted to chase the Blood Wolf Riders all the way, he would need a spare mount.

Yu Jinting agreed and went to collect the killed Blood Wolf Rider mounts, inevitably falling behind a little.

They chased them for another seven or eight miles. Sun Yanwan shot down two or three more people, and Zhang Ji also killed seven or eight people. Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu got nothing.

Sun Yanwan shouted, "Brother, let's go back!"

Zhang Ji had guessed what Junior Brother Sun was planning by this time, so he restrained his warhorse and gave up the pursuit. Seeing that the people from the Songyang Sect "kept their word", the Blood Wolf Riders couldn't help but slow down their horses, and they were all thankful that they had escaped death this time.

Seeing the Blood Wolf Cavalry slow down, Sun Yanwan deliberately shouted loudly, "Senior Brother Zhang, are our brothers from the Songyang Sect coming soon? If they run into these Northern Yan horse bandits, it would be a great achievement."

Upon hearing this, the Blood Wolf Riders no longer dared to be stingy with their horses and urged them on again, wanting only to escape from the Songyang Sect's pursuit as quickly as possible.

The Songyang Sect and others rested for a while, ate less, changed horses, and continued the pursuit.

Along the way, Sun Yanwan came up with many clever ideas, some of which worked, while some were not so effective. He tried them one by one and gained a lot of experience in the martial arts world.

The Blood Wolf Cavalry had suffered repeated setbacks. Even a regular army could no longer sustain a large force under such circumstances and would become a rout. What about horse bandits like the Blood Wolf Cavalry? Horse bandits kept scattering with a few companions.

Sun Yanwan and others chased for three days and witnessed the complete collapse of the Blood Wolf Riders. In the end, only twenty or thirty Blood Wolf Riders were left by the leaders. It was unclear whether they were particularly loyal or particularly stupid.

Sun Yanwan and his group were few in number, so they didn't care about the scattered Blood Wolf Riders and only chased after a few leaders.

There were seven leaders in the Blood Wolf Riders. The second leader was killed by Zhang Ji, and the sixth and seventh leaders also died under Zhang Ji's gun on the way to escape. The remaining four leaders were in constant fear. At this time, they regretted that they should not have provoked the Songyang Sect.

The Songyang Sect is one of the three great martial arts holy places in the world. They have also heard of its reputation in Beiyan, but they did not expect that the direct disciples of the Songyang Sect are so cunning. Not only did they see through the conspiracy one after another and kill three waves of assassins, they were also determined to destroy them.

There is no such vicious successor in the Longzang Temple of Northern Yan.

The most they eat is one person's spareribs.

The Blood Wolf Riders' leader, whose real name was long unknown, was simply known as Gemasa. In Northern Yan, he was known as the Wolf King. He suddenly reined in his horse and said viciously, "Now that things have come to this, I've decided to fight the Songyang Sect. I'll hold back the Taoist with the highest martial arts skills, and you go kill those little devils. As long as we kill one, we'll be safe."

The other three leaders had different thoughts, but no one objected and they all agreed.

Only twenty or thirty Blood Wolf Riders remained. They circled their steeds, shouted a few times, and unleashed their horses' strength, charging forward with a chuckle. Sun Yanwan hastily put down his bow and arrows, swapping for a spear. He was about to give Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu a few more words of advice. He had been heavily involved in this pursuit, having become the implicit leader of this small group. Although Zhang Ji was experienced in the martial arts world, he had little experience in this kind of pursuit, and he had stolen the limelight. Fortunately, Senior Brother Zhang Ji didn't take this trivial matter too seriously.

Before Sun Yanwan could say a few words, most of the Blood Wolf Riders who had rushed over had dispersed. The remaining dozen or so riders found that their companions were gone, and hurriedly rushed sideways. In the end, only three horse bandits rushed in front of Sun Yanwan and others, but none of them was a leader, they were all ordinary horse bandits.

Sun Yanwan was too lazy to take action and shouted, "Senior Brother Linghu, Fenxiu, Jinting, go up and kill the enemy."

Linghu Shao was so depressed along the way that he went crazy. It was supposed to be a trial for him and Ding Fenxiu, but he never expected that it was Sun Yanwan who was always in the limelight, catching assassins, coming up with strange plans, organizing pursuits... He was simply omnipotent.

He tightened the sword and shield in his hands. After all, he was a senior disciple of the Songyang School and had an extraordinary talent for martial arts. He had figured out how to use them in the past few days. He rushed forward, waving the sword and shield.

This time he did not fight with his opponent. He hit him several times with his shield, forcing him to lose his composure, and then beheaded him with a single blow.

After killing the enemy, he turned his horse to help Ding Fenxiu.

Although Ding Fenxiu's martial arts skills were better than those of the enemy horse bandits, the rope dart in his hand was not suitable for the battlefield. It was fine for sneak attacks, but it was completely useless in frontal combat. He could only draw out his dagger, but the dagger was not a suitable weapon on horseback. Instead, he was attacked by the horse bandits in front of him with their swords, making him look a little embarrassed.

Linghu Shao rushed over and used the same trick again, hitting the bandit twice with his shield. The bandit was distracted and unable to wield his knife, revealing a big flaw. Ding Fenxiu spotted it, took out a rope dart, and took the bandit's head with a flick of his hand.

Compared with Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu, Yu Jinting's fight was quite normal. He practiced the external martial arts passed down from his family, and he was in his twenties, at the right age. His physical strength and martial arts were not inferior to ordinary horse bandits. He brandished a long sword and fought hard with the horse bandits for more than ten rounds.

Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu killed the enemy, but the horse bandits who were fighting fiercely with Yu Jinting were already horrified. They were a little slow and were hit in the neck by the young leader of the Red Flower Gang, falling off their horses.

Sun Yanwan and Zhang Ji have been roaming nearby. There is no rush to hunt down the leader of the Blood Wolf Cavalry. Linghu Shao and Ding Fenxiu must not be in any danger. Yu Jinting has just become their apprentice, so Zhang Ji must also take care of him.

After all three had killed their opponents, Zhang Ji shouted, "Jin Ting, gather the horses and follow behind."

"Linghu Shao, Ding Fenxiu, continue the pursuit with us."

This senior brother now also knows that for long-distance raids, they must conserve horsepower and have spare horses so that they can closely follow the Blood Wolf Cavalry.

Sun Yanwan suddenly remembered something and asked, "Jinting, how many people are there in your Red Flower Gang?"

Yu Jinting was gathering horses and answered honestly, "About seven or eight hundred people."

Sun Yanwan asked again, "Are there any other gangs in this area?"

Yu Jinting replied, "There are also the Qingshan Gang, the Kuiyang Society, and six or seven other gangs, large and small."

Sun Yanwan said, "In the name of the Red Flower Gang, have these gangs immediately send people to encircle and suppress the Blood Wolf Riders. If anyone refuses to respond..."

"In ten days, the gang leader will be executed."
