The First Sage of Military Strategists

Chapter 49 The Pursuit of the Yin-Yang Scholar
The latter died on the spot.

The domineering nature of Yin-Yang Force lies in this: Yin and Yang unite, and the force explodes the moment the fist enters the enemy's body, causing extremely terrible damage to the enemy.

At this moment, Han Qing glanced around and found that the surroundings were in complete chaos.

The sky was pitch black, and all around were shouts of battle, the clash of weapons, and cries of agony. Under such circumstances, unless one was born with extraordinary courage or had rich experience in battlefield combat, one would inevitably be terrified and flee in all directions.

That's the situation right now. Han Qing can see many people running away. Ma Er goes without saying. He didn't expect that Sun Xiao would also disappear without a trace in the first place.

I originally thought this man was strong and honest, but I didn't expect him to be a clever and shrewd person at heart.

Of course, there are also some who are fighting bravely, such as Li Tai.

"kill!"

A deafening roar came from the left, completely drawing Han Qing's attention. He glanced around and saw Li Tai cleaving a Yin-Yang Cult martial artist in two with a single strike, blood splattering everywhere, even staining Li Tai himself with blood.

Li Tai has completely gone mad, fighting recklessly without regard for his own life.

Mu Dachun also attracted attention, not because he harbored hatred, but because he was so tall, like a small giant. When he swung a thick jujube wood pillar, no one dared to approach him.

Just now, Han Qing witnessed a Yin Yang Sect martial artist being hit head-on by a jujube wood pillar, flying through the air and becoming a bloody mess.

"These two are really fierce." Han Qing thought to himself, then quickly bent down and searched the corpse at his feet. He didn't have time to examine anything he touched, and stuffed it all into his cloth bag.

Then he rolled over and got close to another corpse next to him. He vaguely remembered this person. It seemed that he was from the Chai Gang, just like Mu Dachun. He had been hit in the face with a hammer earlier, and now his entire face was caved in, and he died a miserable death.

Han Qing quickly searched the body again and stuffed the person's belongings into his own bag.

At this moment, he had two choices: either turn and run like Ma Er, which would be the safest option, or charge in like Li Tai, which might yield greater gains, or he might encounter Yin Yang Sect experts and engage in a fierce battle.

After a moment's thought, Han Qing made a decision immediately. He decided to take the risk and go forward. Apart from today, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity to make a fortune by looting corpses. Moreover, if he encountered a seriously injured Yin-Yang Dao master, that would be the best opportunity to pick up a bargain.

"As long as I don't encounter the Yin-Yang Scholar, no one else can threaten my life!" Han Qingxin said.

He was very confident in his strength. He had broken through the limits of the second realm, and with the Zhige Jing Lingmiao realm at its peak, plus many mastered martial arts, there might be many who could defeat him in Baiyun County, but no more than a handful could kill him.

So Han Qing drew his knife and moved forward, keeping close to the wall with his body tense. He also channeled his spiritual power into his ears and made his way against the chaotic crowd toward the Chen family's old house.

He walked along, touching the corpses as he went. However, there were many cunning people doing the same thing as him. As a result, after touching four or five corpses, he only found something on one of them.

However, Han Qing understood that to reap a great harvest, he had to go inside the house; the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

"Just wander around the outermost part of the house. If I don't find anything, I'll leave. One shouldn't be too timid or cowardly, but one also shouldn't be too greedy!" Han Qingxin thought to himself.

It's good to be cautious, but being overly cautious can lead to missed opportunities and resources. Finding the right balance is difficult.

There was no time to hesitate; he could only make a quick judgment based on his inner thoughts.

...

at this time.

In the center of the Chen family's old residence, in that abandoned courtyard, several corpses lay scattered on the ground.
There were also some severed limbs and broken arms.

The fighters exchanging blows in this small courtyard are the most powerful martial artists from both sides.

Therefore, the fighting was the most intense.

Many people possess the power to shatter stone tablets with their fists and feet; a single blow to a person would instantly shatter their body. "Just wait, I, the Yin-Yang Scholar, will return, and you will all die!"

A figure scaled the wall and landed, while arrogant shouts drifted from the other side.

Yang Wu and the others who remained in the courtyard all seemed to be drunk. Some stood still, swaying unsteadily, as if they couldn't stand up, while others fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and disoriented.

At that moment, Yang Wu was in the same situation. He reached out and held onto a wall next to him, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

"What a powerful illusion!"

In the chaotic battle just now, the government side had a clear advantage.

The Yin-Yang Scholar was also surrounded by several masters, and many of his trusted subordinates died one after another. Just when victory seemed imminent, he suddenly used an illusion technique, immersing everyone around him in it for an instant, making it difficult for them to extricate themselves.

The latter also took the opportunity to escape. At this moment, Yang Wu came to his senses and felt extremely regretful.

Within a few breaths, many people around him also came to their senses.

"Ugh!" A burly man with a rugged appearance approached and spat out a large puddle of acidic water on the ground. "Boss, what just happened? I saw a starry sky spinning overhead, but I couldn't hear or see anything. It made me feel nauseous."

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, everyone. The Yin-Yang Scholar has escaped, but he took a Hundred-Crack Blade blow to the chest from front to back. With such a severe injury, he can't run for long. Chase after him!"

“That’s right, the Yin-Yang Scholar’s ​​fighting strength is already less than one-tenth of what it used to be. This is a golden opportunity to kill him. If we let him go like this, it will be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, and there will be endless troubles in the future!” another person said.

"Magistrate Qi has decreed that whoever can kill the Yin-Yang Scholar will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, a suit of mithril armor, and a fine sword! Chase after him!" Yang Wu shouted, taking the lead in chasing after the Yin-Yang Scholar who had fled.

Many people around him, upon hearing Yang Wu's words, also revealed fierce glints in their eyes and followed him out.

At this moment, the Yin-Yang Scholar was taking advantage of the cover of night to move rapidly towards the outside of the Chen family's old residence.

"Cough cough! Yang Wu, one day I will tear you to pieces!"

The Yin-Yang Scholar was pale, one hand clutching his chest where a gruesome wound was gushing blood.

Yang Wu's knife was swift, accurate, and ruthless, aimed directly at his heart. Fortunately, he reacted quickly, slightly twisting his body to avoid the most critical vital point; otherwise, he would already be a corpse.

"Luckily, I know the Yin-Yang Dao Refining Divine Method." The Yin-Yang Scholar felt a wave of fear.

His eyes darted around as he considered his next move.

"We need to find the least dangerous direction and escape as quickly as possible!"

As the Yin-Yang Scholar spoke, he closed his eyes slightly and secretly activated the unique ability of a Yin-Yang Dao cultivator to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

Those at the Hundred Meridians Realm of the Yin-Yang School possess this ability. When their strength is weak, they can only vaguely perceive good or bad fortune, and sometimes the results are inaccurate. However, they can be used as a reference when they are completely unable to determine the next course of action.

He had heard that as one's cultivation level increased, this ability would become stronger and stronger, such as the Yin-Yang Dao Grand Master of Fate who had the unique ability to observe the stars and predict the general trend of the world.

In the blink of an eye, the Yin-Yang Scholar suddenly opened his eyes and made his decision.

"Although there are ominous signs from all directions, the due east direction seems to be the safest."

"No hesitation, let's go!"

The Yin-Yang Scholar was also quite skilled in light-footedness. He immediately took off, leaping over walls and scaling rooftops, speeding towards the outside of the Chen family's old residence.
