Chapter 29: Siege Again

  Several swift arrows are flying towards us with a sharp whistling sound, as fast as shooting stars, and behind them is the shrill cry of Master Xuan Shui!

  What a willow-like movement, unexpectedly calm and composed, with one knife and one sword, left and right, he swiftly knocked down two swift arrows to the ground, and in an instant, a swallow-like figure flashed by, already disappearing into the grass.

  "Woof woof woof!"

  A pack of hunting dogs continued to bark incessantly, several men saw Liu Suoyun disappear into the vast wilderness and calmly shouted: "Catch up, everyone get ready with your killing moves, and shout for all our brothers to come over!"

  For Liu Suiyun, the greatest threat was not these pursuing soldiers of the Pang family, but Xuan Shuijun who had been following closely behind. He ran quickly, crossing over countless mountains and forests, with innumerable scenes flashing before Gu Yinghua's eyes.

  His footsteps startled many small animals in the mountains, and they scurried back to their nests. Not to mention the ear-piercing howl of Xuan Shuijun, which left a deep impression on everyone. Liu Suizhen furrowed his brow, just as Gu Yinghua told him some bad news: "Subordinate, I've just sensed a dangerous aura from those pursuers from the Pang family!"

  Danger? Although he didn't know what kind of experience Gu Yinghua had, but being able to casually impart the powerful technique "Wu Kong Ming Yin" to himself, Gu Yinghua's background was definitely not simple. Therefore, Liu Suoyun attached great importance to this news and soon thought of something: "Damn it, it must be the Xie Xian Arrow!"

  The Heaven-Destroying Arrow is of little use to high-ranking cultivators, but for low-ranking cultivators like Liu Suizhen and warriors, it's a powerful killing tool that can kill gods and Buddhas. Not just one Liu Suizhen, even ten of them would be killed by the Heaven-Destroying Arrow!

  Liu Suiyun had personally witnessed the power of the Exterminating Immortal Arrow, and knew that even in the most fortunate circumstances, if he were to take another hit from his own Exterminating Immortal Arrow, he would be severely injured, so his brow furrowed even tighter!

  Only by getting rid of Xuan Shui Jun first, otherwise being entangled by this demon snake that can spit both poison and fire would be a dead end. Liu Suoyun climbed up the mountain peak, looking back at Xuan Shui Jun with a glance.

  Xuan Shui's figure was half hidden by the grass and trees in the mountains, but even so, Liu Suizhen could still see a strange and extreme long snake coiled around his body, chasing after him at high speed, its speed even faster than his own.

  Even Liu Suizhen, who had been through a hundred battles, couldn't help but feel a hint of fear at this moment, and his footsteps became slightly disordered. Just then, Liu Suizhen had already carried Gu Yinghua to the top of the mountain, and Gu Yinghua reminded him: "Be careful, servant!"

  As soon as Yu Ruiyun reminded him, he immediately looked up and saw that the mountain waist on the opposite side had already transmitted a series of dog barks. Several of the Peng family's elite were drawing their bows and arrows at that time, and even a monk who saw Yu Ruiyun's figure had already pinched the talisman in his hand with two fingers.

  "Run!"

  Liu Suiyun is now unwilling to engage in a fierce battle with the Pang family and Tianyi gang's pursuit troops. He clearly knows that although these are the elites of the Pang family and Tianyi gang, even if he can eliminate an entire team of them, it will not improve his current situation at all. Therefore, he turned around and ran southward without hesitation.

  His forehead was about to sweat, knowing that behind him was a mysterious water master who he couldn't defeat even in his prime, not to mention the countless pursuers from the Pang family and the Tianyi gang, including possibly even Pang Tianshan, a foundation-building cultivator, and even this group of guards carrying the powerful Extinction Arrows, making this nearly the most dangerous battle of his life.

  "Hiss...hiss...hiss..."

  Xuan Shui's voice was getting closer and closer, Liu Suoyun had only walked more than a hundred steps south when he heard that in the southern sky, a black hawk appeared, circling around. As soon as it saw Liu Suoyun's figure, it flapped its wings and flew high. Liu Suoyun couldn't help but curse softly: "Pang dog is so fast!"

  Now even Gu Yinghua had to admire the efficiency of the Pang family and the Tianyi gang, she and Liu Suizhen shook off their pursuers and almost didn't stop to rest, not knowing how many dangers they had passed through. Although they climbed mountains and crossed rivers, they also fought with many monsters, but originally thought that they had long since shaken off the Pang family's pursuers, at least it would take a day for them to catch up.

  Who would have thought that in just a short while, the pursuing troops of the Pang family had already caught up!

  "Woof woof woof!"

  The hound's howl grew more urgent, and the figure of Xuanshui Jun became clearer in the distance. Liu Suizhen instinctively gripped the Tianlei Starfall Sword tightly, ready to fight at any moment - although he was still barely within a safe distance, his Dao techniques couldn't possibly be deployed that far away, but he had already prepared himself for a desperate battle with Xuanshui Jun.

  At this critical moment, Gu Yinghua leaned on Liu Suizhen's back. She rarely praised Liu Suizhen: "Don't get confused, you must remember that you are Liu Suizhen, the one who is first in infatuation, second in growing vegetables, third in Taoist magic, and fourth in martial arts, also my Gu Yinghua's most appreciated servant!"

  The word "下人" is not a derogatory term in Gu Yinghua's dictionary, but a most concerned noun. Now Gu Yinghua is whispering this sentence into Liu Suiyun's ear, the fragrance is messy, but it makes Liu Suiyun's spirit refreshed, and he becomes sharp all over.

  "That's right!" Liu Suoyun smiled and replied to Gu Yinghua: "Yes, why am I working so hard? What I'm best at is growing vegetables, not martial arts or Taoist magic!"

  His breathing had become somewhat disordered due to this period of rushing about, but now it became long and steady again. His eyes sparkled with the fire of wisdom as he considered the best plan.

  "Woof woof woof!"

  "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"

  "Chirp! Chirp! Chirp!"

  The pursuing soldiers were getting closer and closer, even the powerful Hou of the Pang family had become formidable with the few Xian-erasing arrows they carried. Moreover, according to Liu Suizhen's understanding of the Pang family, such a team would also be equipped with many spiritual medicines that increase their power, not to mention one or two extremely difficult-to-deal-with cultivators.

  Masters may have weak and vulnerable existences, but the masters configured in such a team should have astonishing power and speed even if they are not martial arts dual cultivators. They would be the most troublesome to deal with. The Pang family was once a prominent family that had produced a half-step Golden Dan master, so these masters naturally carry killing tools like talismans on their hands.

  As for that Xuan Shui Jun, it's even more troublesome. As Liu Su Yun himself said, even at the peak of his powers, a head-on confrontation may not necessarily be Xuan Shui Jun's match. Xuan Shui Jun can even hold out for several hundred rounds against a foundation-building cultivator like Pang Tian Shan.

  However, Liu Suizhen's mind became clearer and clearer in the face of such a crisis. He said to Gu Yinghua, "Thank you, Miss Gu! I will definitely take you out of here, I have never owed anyone anything!"

  Even in such a situation, he had no intention of abandoning Gu Yinghua. Although the Gu Yinghua on his back was already a burden, if it weren't for Gu Yinghua's sake, he would have long since shaken off Xuan Shuijun's pursuit. However, he had already sold his life to Gu Yinghua.

  "But still one thousand yuan per day, wages will not rise!"

  "Maybe by the time I get to Yuanzhou, I'll be yearning for the Great Tao!" Liu Suoyun responded with a sentence: "At that time, can you consider giving me a raise?"

  "We'll talk about it later!" Gu Yinghua replied casually to Liu Suizhen, and she was more and more appreciative of this "servant" Liu Suizhen: "Naturally, you will have endless benefits when the time comes, as long as you are on the right path!"

  As they spoke, Xuan Shui had already approached Liu Suiyun and Gu Yinghua, but Liu Suiyun calmly led Gu Yinghua into a grassy field. Xuan Shui had an astonishingly keen intuition and immediately gave chase.

  But soon, Xuan Shui Jun's speed slowed down, and Liu Su Yun and Gu Ying Hua had disappeared from his line of sight without a trace. Not only that, but the scent of Liu Su Yun and Gu Ying Hua had also faded significantly. It was known that he had an astonishingly keen sense of smell, and even the sound of footsteps and the rustling of grass had disappeared!

  What happened?

  Xuanshui's eyes were wide open, bigger than lanterns, and he chased after them with his body curled up. In the distance, there were only a few "wow wow" sounds, and a small eagle was circling in the air, but Xuanshui didn't know how many of these little things he could swallow at once, and he wasn't afraid at all.

  It was calculating in its heart how to take revenge on this hateful opponent after catching it, and just biting this despicable little man in half would not be enough to vent its anger. It felt that it should inject venom into the body of this old opponent and then slowly strangle him to death!

  Not bad, it's going to take a whole day and two nights to torture him, using countless tricks to kill him, and savoring the look of absolute despair on this old opponent's face. Just thinking about it, Xuan Shui Jun's snake body kept swaying back and forth, as if Liu Sui Yun was already his next meal. Its venomous fangs were even exposed in the air, ready to strike at any moment.

  Gu Yinghua watched as Xuan Shuijun's snake body drew closer and closer, the sound of "searching" growing clearer and clearer. Liu Suoyun remained still and silent, hiding in the grass, quietly waiting for Xuan Shuijun.

  Although she didn't know what would happen next, as long as she was leaning on Liu Suoyun's back, Gu Yinghua wouldn't feel anxious. She could even recall the experiences of the past few days under Xuan Shuijun's snake-like gaze, which was an experience she had never had in her life. Thinking about Liu Suoyun's words "For my beloved woman", she felt a little flustered - they only had a few days of fate together, how could he say such things?!

  But thinking carefully, how many men and women have such a fate, just when she was pondering, Liu Suiyun suddenly reminded her: "Cover your ears!"

  Gu Yinghua immediately covered her ears tightly according to Liu Suizhen's instructions, and Liu Suizhen had already jumped up, shouting a shocking eagle whistle: "Chirp chirp chirp!"
