Practicing from the Taoist

Chapter 49
"My lord, we have already found that group of Chen Guo's rout soldiers ahead. The number of them is less than a hundred. Judging by their appearance, they seem to be Chen Guo's bloody Taoist soldiers!"

In the wilderness, a thin, but tall, slightly hunchbacked Jing Guodao soldier said to a very young man in armor in front of him.

"Haha, okay, I, Zheng Hong, deserve the credit. I didn't expect to catch a decent prey in this wilderness. The blood owl Taoist soldier who is called the whetstone of our Jingguo Taoist soldiers. It is said that The number of people is less than a hundred, and if we can meet them this time, then this useless whetstone will be completely smashed!"

When the young man named Zheng Hong heard the words, he immediately said with a smile.

Zheng Hong was quite pleasantly surprised at the moment. As a practitioner in the Jingguo Army, he has not been in the army for a long time, and his own strength is not high. He has just reached the realm of Heguang. Because of his strength, although he He led some Taoist soldiers, but he was not the leader of the Taoist soldiers around him. When Feiyong was defeated before, he had no chance to play, but after the city was broken, he was assigned the task of chasing down the defeated soldiers.

Originally, chasing down Chen Guo's rout soldiers was not a particularly great contribution, unless he was able to capture or kill the escaped Chen Guo practitioners, but Zheng Hong didn't expect that, after all, he didn't have that strength.

However, he did not expect that the target of his pursuit would be Chen Guo's blood owl Taoist soldiers. For such a not strong but well-known Taoist soldier in Jingguo, Zheng Hong felt that he was completely sent to him. Naturally, it is impossible to let go of the credit.

Zheng Hong turned his head and waved to a group of Taoist soldiers who were also tall but slightly hunched behind him.

"The credit is waiting ahead, all speed up and catch up with those blood lord Taoist soldiers!"

Hearing his order, the slightly hunched Taoist soldiers behind him immediately speeded up, one after another figures rushed forward, tossing and turning in the very difficult wilderness, and they could cover a distance of more than ten meters in one jump.

"Those pursuers caught up so quickly!"

Xu Jin, who was continuing to escape with the blood owl Taoist soldiers, stood on a higher ground, turned around and saw those figures who were moving around in the wilderness several miles away, and immediately realized that the enemy had caught up up.

Although she had been mentally prepared, Xu Jin's heart sank at this moment, knowing that she could not get rid of the people behind her now, and they would be overtaken by them soon.

According to the previous investigations, Jingguo's Taoist soldiers in the rear not only outnumbered them, but were also led by a practitioner. Without knowing the opponent's strength, Xu Jin really didn't have much confidence in her heart.

However, Xu Jin was not completely desperate. After all, a cultivator who led Taoist soldiers to chase them down should not be particularly strong, at least not as strong as the strong men from the two countries who fought over Feiyong City. degree.

And if the strength of the opponent is not particularly strong, Xu Jin feels that his side may not be incapable of fighting. After all, in his hands, there are several cannonballs that were put into the storage bag from the top of the city before. A big killer.

Thinking of this, Xu Jin stopped immediately and spoke quickly.

"Stop, everyone, the enemy has already caught up, we can't run away from each other, now prepare to meet the enemy, Wang An, you lead people around to set up artillery and crossbows, and obey my orders when attacking for the first time, if the opponent is more difficult to deal with , then play by ear!"

While talking, Xu Jin took out several cannons and crossbow arrows from the storage bag, and handed them to Wang An.

Xu Jin received a total of four crossbows, three of which were intact, and one with a broken mechanism at the bottom. When Xu Jin was on the top of the city, she wanted to use it as a longbow in her hand. However, it was suppressed by Jing Guo's Dao soldiers at that time, and there was no chance of attacking at all.

After handing over the three intact crossbows to Wang An, Xu Jin herself took the crossbow that was damaged at the bottom, chose a suitable position around, and stared closely at the approaching Jingguo soldiers.

Now beside Xu Jin, there are only a dozen blood lord Taoists who are not injured, and the other blood lord Taoist soldiers followed Wang An to control the few cannonballs.

Seeing that the Jingguo Taoist soldiers who were chasing after him were only about three miles away from him, the blood owl Taoist soldiers around Xu Jin all drew their bows and arrows at this moment.

Xu Jin raised one hand, and blessed a dozen or so Taoist soldiers around her with the Overwhelming Evil Technique. After the bloody light lit up and quickly went out, the mana in Xu Jin's body circulated, holding a crossbow arrow in her right hand, and pulled it away. The bowstring of the cannonball in his hand.

The bowstring in her hand was pulled away. At this time, Xu Jin suddenly realized that after the mechanism below was damaged, she tried her best but failed to pull the bowstring of the cannon crossbow to the extreme. If you want to use it, the range that can be opened is larger.

Xu Jin didn't care about these things at the moment. His gaze had already seen the practitioner who was wearing armor and looked obviously different from those Taoist soldiers among the group of Taoist soldiers pursued by Jingguo.

The crossbow arrow pinched in the right hand instantly emitted a red light, and Xu Jin let go of it without hesitation.

"boom!"

The bowstring exploded, and the crossbow shot out from Xu Jin's hand, and with a sound of piercing through the air, it quickly flew towards the practitioner of Jingguo.

Seeing that Zheng Hong, who had already caught up with the blood owl Taoist soldiers in front of him, had already thought about how to easily deal with the blood owl Taoist soldiers and make meritorious service, but a sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart, and then he saw A bloody light flew towards him like lightning.

"Cannonball!"

Although there was a layer of blood-colored light on the crossbow, Zheng Hong recognized what was flying in just an instant, and his expression changed drastically.

A milky white light instantly lit up on Zheng Hong's body, and he quickly dodged to one side. The moment he dodged, the crossbow arrow emitting red light had already landed on the position where he was standing just now.

"boom!"

A roar sounded, and the position where Zheng Hong was standing just now was shrouded in flames. The two Jing Guo Dao soldiers who were relatively close to him were affected by the power of the crossbow arrows, and their bodies were instantly thrown aside.

"It's so dangerous, there are cannons and crossbows in the hands of this group of blood lord Taoists!"

Dodging an attack very dangerously, Zheng Hong still has some lingering fears in his heart. The contempt for the blood owl Taoist soldiers just now no longer exists in his heart at this time.

"It didn't hit the target!"

Compared with Zheng Hong's lingering fear at the moment, Xu Jin was a little surprised at the opponent's quick reaction at this time. Xu Jin originally thought that she might be able to solve the most troublesome enemy with one arrow, but at least he could injure the opponent. In this way, the blood lord's Taoist soldiers have cannons and crossbows in their hands, so they should have no problem dealing with Jing Guo's Taoist soldiers. Unfortunately, the result of my own arrow did not fulfill my wish.

Thoughts flashed through her mind, but Xu Jin's movements did not slow down at all. Taking advantage of the distance between him and the enemy, Xu Jin put another crossbow without hesitation, and quickly pulled the bowstring.

With the arrow shot just now, Xu Jin felt that the bowstring was not fully drawn, so this time, Xu Jin raised one foot and put it on the crossbow of the gun crossbow, leaning back slightly, and directly drew the bow string to the full.

The arrow in his hand glowed red again, and the moment Xu Jin let go, the arrow flew out, and the crossbow in his hand was also bounced aside.

The arrow of the cannonball flew again, this time faster than the arrow just now. Fortunately, Zheng Hong was prepared this time. The moment he saw the red light appear, his figure quickly appeared on the scene. The surroundings moved, and as he moved, there was actually a series of afterimages behind him.

The red crossbow arrow pierced through an afterimage of Zheng Hong, and then hit a Taoist soldier of Jingguo, instantly smashing the body of the opponent and another Taoist soldier beside him.

At this moment, the distance between those Jing Guo Dao soldiers and Xu Jin is less than one mile. The two arrows that Xu Jin shot in succession just now let him know that it is very difficult for the crossbow to hit that Jing Guo practitioner easily, and Xu Jin can't hit it easily now. Don't expect to get rid of the opponent first.

"First kill those Jing Guo Dao soldiers, and let the arrows go!"

Xu Jin yelled, gave orders to Wang An and the others, and at the same time drew out the dagger behind her back.

As his words fell, three explosions sounded from behind, and at the same time, the blood owl Taoist soldier beside him also let go of the bowstring in his hand.

Seeing this scene, the Jingguo Taoist soldiers rushing over rushed to dodge one after another. At the same time, a layer of scales quickly appeared on the bodies of those Jingguo Taoist soldiers, trying to block the attack of the blood owl Taoist soldiers.

Accompanied by several roaring sounds, the bodies of several Jingguo Taoist soldiers hit by crossbow arrows were directly blasted into pieces. The scales on their bodies failed to save their lives, but the arrows shot by the blood owl Taoist soldiers beside Xu Jin The arrows were blocked by the scales on the Jing Guo Taoist soldiers to a certain extent. The arrows pierced the opponent's body. Although they caused some damage to the opponent, the opponent was still able to move.

Seeing this situation, Xu Jin stepped hard at this time and rushed directly towards the Taoist soldiers. The bloody light on the short knife in his hand lit up, and the distance between them shrank to a few meters in the blink of an eye.

The moment Xu Jin approached a Taoist soldier of Jingguo, the short knife in Xu Jin's hand directly slashed at the opponent's head, and the Taoist soldier of Jingguo also raised his spear-like weapon and stabbed Xu Jing. , there is no meaning of evasion at all.

The other party may have chosen to attack Xu Jin because he felt that Xu Jin's short knife could not cut through the scales on his body, and his own strength and agility were not weak.

But what the Jingguo Taoist soldier didn't expect was that Xu Jin easily dodged his attack, retracted the short knife in his hand, and slashed at his body from the side.

It wasn't until the blood-red blade fell, and the sharp blade easily cut through the scales on his body, that Jingguo Daoist showed panic in his eyes, but it was too late, his life had already been harvested by Xu Jin's blade up.
