On the grassland, the wind swept away the clouds, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang were surrounded by the warriors of the grassland barbarians, and a fierce battle was imminent.

"Since you have set a trap, come on."

Fang Yue looked calm, and he did not panic because he was in trouble.

As a top master of the Wei Dynasty, he had long been accustomed to facing various challenges and dangers.

"Humph, you are still stubborn when you are about to die!"

The barbarian warrior snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "Go, catch them!"

Suddenly, the surrounding barbarian warriors swarmed up, with spears and scimitars flashing cold light, and went straight to Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

Fang Yue's figure was like the wind, and Zhu Linlang followed closely.

The two rushed left and right in the siege of the barbarian warriors, and shuttled through the enemy group like a dragon.

Fang Yue's long sword flew in his hand, and the sword light was like a stream of silk. Every time he swung the sword, several barbarian warriors fell.

On the grassland, shouts of killing shook the sky.

Fang Yue was like a sharp sword, cutting through the thorns in the siege of the barbarian warriors.

"There are indeed masters among the southerners. It is a happy thing to be able to fight with such masters and kill them!"

In the barbarian army, a burly figure stood out. He held a huge battle axe and was wearing iron armor, looking mighty and extraordinary.

This is a real barbarian master, born in the barbarian Golden Tribe, named Tuoba Jin. Unlike those barbarian temple warriors who were born through rituals, his cultivation is the result of hard training.

The barbarian master stared at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang with a cold look, and a cruel and ferocious smile appeared on his face.

"I have long wanted to learn the swordsmanship of you southerners. Today, let me see how strong you are!"

He strode into the battle circle, swung the battle axe, and a fierce momentum instantly burst out.

The air around him seemed to be cut by his battle axe, making a deafening explosion, and the blazing vitality wave directly turned into a eagle more than ten feet long.

The wind on the grassland stopped suddenly, as if it was shocked by the powerful vitality fluctuations.

The eagle was like a substance, with its wings spread, and its sharp eyes stared at Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang, as if ready to kill at any time.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

They knew that Tuoba Jin's strength was far beyond that of ordinary barbarian warriors, and this battle would be more difficult than any previous battle.

"Be careful." Fang Yue reminded in a low voice, and at the same time, he moved his body and rushed towards the vitality eagle.

The long sword was swung out, and a brilliant sword energy chopped the eagle's head.

However, the eagle seemed to have a spirit, and it turned its head slightly and cleverly avoided the sword.

At the same time, Tuoba Jin swung the giant axe and chopped at Fang Yue fiercely.

The axe shadow was like a mountain, with unrivaled power.

Fang Yue dodged the axe with a flash.

However, before he could counterattack, Tuoba Jin's second axe had already come.

At this moment, Fang Yue felt unprecedented pressure.

He knew that he could not be careless, otherwise he might die under the axe.

Seeing this, Zhu Linlang also retreated quickly without hesitation.

She was not good enough to join in this level of battle. If she joined rashly, she would only put herself in danger and might also interfere with Fang Yue.

She wisely chose to watch from the sidelines and look for opportunities to help.

Fang Yue faced Tuoba Jin's fierce attack alone. He was flexible and had exquisite swordsmanship. He could cleverly avoid Tuoba Jin's axe every time.

But Tuoba Jin's strength was extraordinary after all. Every time he attacked, he was so powerful that people dared not be careless.

The battle entered a white-hot stage. The figures of the two people danced in the air, and the sword energy and axe shadows intertwined, forming a thrilling picture.

The barbarian warriors around were stunned. They had never seen such a fierce battle.

"It seems that the third prince cannot resolve the battle for a while. You go and capture that woman."

The barbarian general who was watching the battle on the other side saw that Tuoba Jin could not attack for a long time, so he ordered several of his men.

Several barbarian warriors responded and rushed towards Zhu Linlang with spears in hand.

Zhu Linlang had been observing the battle situation vigilantly, and immediately turned and ran when she saw this.

She knew that her strength could not confront these barbarian warriors head-on, so she could only try to avoid them and look for opportunities to get closer to Fang Yue.

"Where are you running!"

A barbarian warrior shouted, and the spear stabbed at Zhu Linlang's back like lightning.

Zhu Linlang was flexible and rolled sideways to cleverly avoid the attack.

She took the opportunity to pick up a short knife from the ground and turned to face the pursuers.

Seeing this, several barbarian warriors attacked with spears.

Zhu Linlang dodged left and right, while waving the short knife to fight back.

Although she was not as strong as the other party, she was able to resist for a while with her flexible skills and keen insight.

However, in this situation, it was obvious that she could not resist for long.

"Who told you to attack without authorization!"

But at this moment, Tuoba Jin, who was fighting with Fang Yue, suddenly roared. This roar was like thunder, echoing on the grassland, shocking the barbarian warriors who rushed towards Zhu Linlang and stopped.

Tuoba Jin widened his eyes and looked at the barbarian warriors angrily, saying: "This is a duel between me and this southern master. Who told you to interfere?! Get out! No one can interfere before the winner is decided!"

Tuoba Jin's angry shout made all the barbarian warriors present silent, and the warriors who had rushed towards Zhu Linlang retreated hurriedly, not daring to make any more moves.

Tuoba Jin turned back, looked at Fang Yue, and said, "Let's continue. I hope what happened just now did not affect our battle."

Tuoba Jin shouted and swung his axe to fight.

The battle between the two entered a white-hot stage again, with sword lights and axe shadows intersecting in the air, and every collision made a deafening sound.

Zhu Linlang watched nervously on the side, and was sweating for Fang Yue in her heart.

Although she knew that Fang Yue was strong, Tuoba Jin's strength should not be underestimated.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Fang Yue and Tuoba Jin were sweating profusely, but their fighting spirit was still high.

Suddenly, Fang Yue flashed, and the whole person shot towards Tuoba Jin like an arrow from a string.

The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and stabbed Tuoba Jin at an incredible angle.

This sword was a long-prepared attack, containing all his cultivation and fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Tuoba Jin's eyes widened, and he felt the threat of this sword.

He gripped the battle axe tightly and rushed forward with an almost crazy force.

The axe light and the sword energy collided violently in the air, making a deafening roar.

At this moment, the two men launched their own tricks at the same time.

Fang Yue's long sword cut through the sky like a meteor, while Tuoba Jin's battle axe was as unstoppable as thunder.

The sword energy and the axe light met in the air, forming a dazzling light.

Then, a loud noise came, and the whole grassland seemed to be shaken.

When the light dissipated, Fang Yue and Tuoba Jin were both seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Their clothes were torn and their bodies were covered with scars.

It turned out that at that moment, the moves of the two collided and offset each other, but at the same time they also caused serious damage to each other.

Seeing this, Zhu Linlang hurried to Fang Yue's side, helped him up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Fang Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "I'm fine, just a little injured."

He looked at Tuoba Jin and found that he was also seriously injured. Although the two were opponents, at this moment, they felt a sense of mutual respect for each other.

Tuoba Jin struggled to stand up and clasped his fists to Fang Yue and said: "The southern master is indeed worthy of his reputation. After today's battle, I, Tuoba Jin, am convinced."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and capture and kill these two people!"

However, at the moment when Tuoba Jin turned and left, the barbarian general who was originally watching suddenly shouted, breaking the brief silence.

Thousands of barbarian warriors heard this and immediately raised their spears and rushed towards Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang.

Although they witnessed the fierce battle between Fang Yue and Tuoba Jin, they had to execute the military order.

Zhu Linlang looked at the approaching barbarian warriors nervously. Although she was good at fighting, she felt powerless under such a siege.

Although Fang Yue was injured, his eyes were still firm. He struggled to stand up and stood in front of Zhu Linlang.

"You go first, I'll cover you." Fang Yue whispered to Zhu Linlang.

Zhu Linlang knew that this was not the time to hesitate. She nodded and turned to run.

Seeing this, several barbarian warriors immediately divided their troops into two groups, one chasing Zhu Linlang and the other besieging Fang Yue.

Fang Yue waved his long sword and forced back several barbarian warriors, but his injuries were not light and his movements were not as flexible as before.

However, he was still fearless and stood up to protect Zhu Linlang.

Facing the barbarian warriors swarming over, Fang Yue fought hard and swung his sword to slash at the enemy in front.

His swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and every time he swung his sword, an enemy fell.

However, the enemies were so numerous that they seemed endless. They stepped on the bodies of their companions and continued to rush towards Fang Yue frantically.

"It should be about time now. We have to go."

Fang Yue estimated the time and Zhu Linlang should have escaped a distance.

Fang Yue dodged the attacks of several barbarian warriors and then beheaded an enemy with a swing of his sword.

He took the opportunity to turn around and ran in the opposite direction of Zhu Linlang.

"Chase! Don't let them run!" The barbarian general shouted loudly, commanding the warriors to chase.

However, Fang Yue's speed was extremely fast. With the help of the wind on the grassland, he rushed away like the wind.

Although the barbarian warriors tried their best to catch up, they could not get closer to Fang Yue.

Instead, they got farther and farther away and disappeared in a flash.

~~~~~

Three days later.

On the vast grassland, cattle and sheep were seen when the wind blew the grass low.

After three days of running around, Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang finally escaped the pursuit of the barbarians and came to a relatively safe place.

"It seems that we have gotten rid of them." Zhu Linlang looked into the distance and said with a sigh of relief.

Fang Yue nodded and said, "It is safe for the time being, but we can't let our guard down. The barbarian warriors are likely to continue to hunt us down."

The two found a hidden place to rest and simply treated their wounds.

Although Fang Yue's injuries were not light, he had gradually improved under his care.

"What should we do next?" Zhu Linlang asked.

"We need to find a safe place to recover and wait for an opportunity to return to Wei." Fang Yue said after thinking for a moment.

Zhu Linlang nodded in agreement.

She knew that in this case, impatience and blind action would only put them in more danger.

"But more importantly, find out how those prairie barbarians tracked us!"

Zhu Linlang's words made Fang Yue fall into deep thought. Indeed, they had been closely followed, and there must be a reason for this.

"You're right, we have to find out how they tracked us. Only in this way can we ensure that we won't be easily discovered the next time we move."

Fang Yue frowned and thought. He remembered that they had not left any obvious traces before, and they had always tried to avoid the main roads and chose paths that were difficult to follow.

Besides, there is hardly any human habitation within hundreds of miles of the vast grassland.

How did those prairie barbarians track them with no trace of the village or store?

Are those people unable to fly?

"Wait!" Fang Yue suddenly thought of something. He looked at Zhu Linlang, and then looked up into the sky.

At this time, there were no clouds in the sky, but Fang Yue saw a black spot.

"That's... an eagle?" Fang Yue stared at the black spots in the sky and said doubtfully.

Zhu Linlang also looked up and saw the eagle circling high in the sky, seemingly looking for something.

"Could it be..." Zhu Linlang suddenly thought of something and his face changed, "They used eagles to track us?"

Fang Yue nodded and said solemnly: "It's very possible. This kind of eagle has been trained and has excellent eyesight. It can see small movements on the ground from high altitudes. So, in fact, we have always been exposed to the eyes of the barbarians. Underneath.”

"Then what should we do now?" Zhu Linlang asked.

"First of all, we need to change our strategy." Fang Yue said after thinking for a moment,

"Before, we tried our best to avoid walking on the main roads and chose paths that were difficult to track, but now it seems that this approach has made us easier to be tracked. Because in this vast grassland, no matter where we go, we can't escape the path. The eyes of an eagle.”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Linlang looked at Fang Yue in confusion.

"Hide by day and come out at night!" Fang Yue said with firm eyes, "During the day we find a place to hide to avoid being discovered by the eagle. At night, we take action again and use the darkness to cover our whereabouts. In this way, we can avoid Drive that eagle's track."

When Zhu Linlang heard this, a glimmer of appreciation flashed in her eyes, and she said, "What a good idea! Moving at night can indeed avoid the sight of the eagle. Moreover, the grassland at night is also more conducive to us concealing our whereabouts."

After discussing it, the two decided to adopt this strategy.

They found a place to hide in dense grass and waited quietly for nightfall.

As night falls, there is silence on the grassland.

Fang Yue and Zhu Linlang took advantage of the cover of night to start their operation. (End of chapter)
