Chapter 68 Chasing
The leader of the imperial guards was suddenly beheaded, and the weak army formation left at the end of the street was also instantly destroyed.

Before the soldiers holding bows and crossbows had time to change their weapons, a loud shout was heard throughout the neighborhood.

"The Imperial City has been breached, why don't you surrender?"

Xiao Yan held the reins with one hand, sat on the horse, and the horse's front hooves flew up, suddenly making a violent neigh, and then rushed forward, carrying him all the way to Anxi Gate.

Behind him, dozens of bad guys were fighting ten to one. Every time they swung their swords, a torch would fall to the ground.

On the long street, the ball of fire was shattered by a collision, and the scattered torches fell on the snow, illuminating the dead bodies and blood on the ground.

On the tower, Ji Ruxue tilted her head and looked, her beautiful eyes dazed. But at this moment, in front of her, behind the shields, long spears were like a forest, stabbing straight at her.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air.

Xiao Yan's figure flew into the air from the horse's back, the lance in his hand shook, and then he kicked it out.

"Puff puff……"

After raising the shields, the infantrymen lined up in a row were instantly pierced accurately by the horse lances. The lance poles, which were more than ten feet long, connected all the bodies in a string and slammed into the stone wall of the city tower.

Then, the figure in the air fell heavily on the top of the city wall, and a sound of broken stones cracking suddenly occurred.

Xiao Yan's eyes were blazing with a dazzling indigo light, his strong aura was raging around him, and his stern face looked extremely terrifying at this moment.

Nearly a hundred infantrymen standing in formation with shields retreated in panic, and the entire formation became somewhat disorganized.

Behind him, the girl's whole body tensed up instantly.

At this moment, she was not aware of anything else, but the hand holding the sword subconsciously wanted to hold it in front of her heart because her heart was beating so fast.

But her hand still held the sword, but her fingers were clenched a little tighter.

Just like the moment of life and death just now, she remained calm as usual.

At this time, the two sisters Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian had already called out in surprise.

"Xiao Lang!?"

"I'm late."

Without even turning his head, Xiao Yan threw a token in front of the imperial army's gun formation and said in a cold voice: "Inspector Li Gong has taken control of the imperial city. If you still value your lives, you can still survive by giving up your weapons now."

No one dared to pick up the token. An inexplicable atmosphere of fear permeated among all the imperial guards. Although they did not abandon their weapons as ordered, they no longer had the unstoppable momentum they had just now.

The sound of torches crackling could be heard all around, but no one spoke.

Xiao Yan stepped on the corpse of a foot soldier and wanted to pull out the lance, but he saw that it was covered in blood. So he turned around and walked to Ji Ruxue. Under the gaze of the girl, he reached out and took the long sword from her hand.

He placed the tip of his sword against the ground at his feet, supported the hilt with both hands, and stood alone in front of the army formation where spears were still like a forest.

Ji Ruxue's sword seemed a little slender, but when he was holding it, it gave people the illusion that it was a heavy sword.

"Open the city gate."

Xiao Yan turned his back to Ji Ruxue and the others and said, "You can go now."

Miao Chengtian was stunned for a moment, but then he stopped being pretentious.

"Sisters, let's go!"

Xuan Jingtian held the longbow vigilantly and pulled Ji Ruxue.

The latter hesitated and whispered: "Remember to return the sword to me."

"Don't worry, you can't throw it away."

Below the gate tower, Sanqianyuan and Duan Chengtian had led all the bad guys into the gate, and then opened the gate of Anximen.

Outside the city, there was endless snow.

On the city wall, the imperial guards saw the ladies from Huanyinfang leaving quickly and finally became a little impatient.

But Xiao Yan did not move at all and still stood in the same place.

He was clearly just one man with one sword, but he exuded a strong murderous intent that frightened everyone and made them afraid to move forward. After a long time, but it seemed like only a moment, Xiao Yan picked up the long sword that was against the ground, turned around and jumped off the tower.

All the imperial guards looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of them lay on the battlements of the city wall and looked down. They saw a man riding a mount and leading a horse under the city wall.

At this time, Xiao Yan landed steadily, then pulled the reins and rode out of the city.

Everyone started to make noise, but no one dared to chase after him. However, at this moment, they suddenly heard the rumbling of horse hooves, and then they all looked back and saw a series of torches rushing towards them from the far end of the long street.

Zhu Hanbin was running in the front, squinting his eyes at the dead bodies all over the ground, knowing that he had delayed long enough.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded from the cavalry behind him.

He looked back with a frown, and saw that a cavalryman of the imperial guards who was riding on horseback was suddenly enveloped by a ghostly aura and turned into ashes in an instant.

A dark purple dwarf figure emerged from the ghostly aura, looking quite ferocious.

Zhu Hanbin's scalp tingled, and he felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously said in fear, "Emperor of the Underworld!?"

Zhu Yougui didn't even look at him. His short body was leaning on the horse's back. The horse he was sitting on seemed to be suddenly stimulated by something and started to gallop rapidly.

He rode his horse, leaving a trail of dust in the air, and rushed out of Anxi Gate.

Zhu Hanbin was terrified, knowing that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask his men to stop him. Instead, he said, "Chase after them! We must catch the thieves!"

------

Xiao Yan and Sanqianyuan, one on the left and one on the right, left the official road and kept speeding in the wilderness.

The latter asked: "Why don't you go after the people from Huanyinfang?"

"The delay is too short. They must not have gone too far. We can confuse the pursuers."

Sanqianyuan frowned and said, "I should have known that I would not have let you know that I was in Luoyang. This matter tonight is really troublesome."

"It can be seen that the helmsman was really persuaded by me that night."

The two men rode their horses, and the strong wind kept hitting their faces. Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "The helmsman seems to be a mysterious dragon with no end in sight, and seems to be in a leisurely mood and not caring about affairs, but in fact he also wants to revive the Bad People, right?"

Sanqianyuan was silent for a moment, and did not answer this question. He just asked: "I understand that you want to put the blame on Jin State, but why do you want me to pretend to be the identity of Tongwenguan Baer?"

"I just think this person is destined to be with the helmsman."

Sanqianyuan's eyes twitched, and he looked at Xiao Yan: "You want to..."

But before he finished his words, Xiao Yan's expression suddenly changed.

"'Sword Intent' reminds the host that a threat is approaching, the threat value is 80%..."

The next moment, Sanqianyuan also sensed a murderous aura chasing after him from behind.

Without further ado, the two men abandoned their horses and jumped out, rolling in the snow.

Suddenly, a wave of yin energy swept over, and the two mounts first neighed loudly, then their four legs trembled, and their bodies shrank down. At the same time, not far behind them, a horse that had been exhausted instantly turned into a mummy and fell down with a loud bang.

A shrill laugh was heard, and a figure suddenly appeared behind Xiao Yan.

"I want to see where you can escape to!"

A dark purple hand filled with ghostly energy slapped towards Xiao Yan, who was alarmed. However, before he could take the hand, Sanqianyuan appeared and met it with a palm.

The two palms clashed together, Sanqianyuan groaned, and took a few steps back.

Although Zhu Yougui's body was intact, he jumped backwards with some caution.

"Great Heavenly Position?"

He stood at a distance with some doubt, his eyes rolling around as if he wanted to see through Sanqianyuan.

After a while, he stood proudly with his hands behind his back.

"A mere early stage Great Heaven Realm person is qualified to stop me?"
