Chapter Eighty-Seven We Fought Our Way Out!
"Everyone move aside quickly! Don't block the way, move aside quickly!"
Shangguan Yu rode on horseback, wielding the You Long spear and driving away the ordinary people blocking his path. He couldn't help but feel grateful that he had learned how to ride a horse at Tongling Academy, or else things would be terrible now. And as a martial artist who had already reached the realm of human perfection, riding a horse was even simpler.
"Who goes there? Dismount at once!" The soldier at the city gate also saw the three of Shangguan Yu and shouted loudly.
"The Emperor has given an order, it's a military emergency! Can't you let us through quickly?! If you delay the Emperor's affairs, can you bear the consequences?!" shouted Officer Yu.
As soon as the matter of the emperor was mentioned, the soldiers were at a loss. They were just small soldiers guarding the city, how dare they delay the emperor's affairs? Originally, Officer Wei might have been able to muddle through, but unfortunately not every soldier is an idiot.
"Don't believe them, look at the one in front, he's just a kid, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, how could he be an imperial envoy?" someone among the defending soldiers shouted.
As soon as the soldier shouted, the other soldiers also reacted. In an instant, those soldiers each held their weapons and blocked the entire city gate. And those who wanted to enter or leave the city naturally ran far away, no one wanting to cause trouble.
"Have you noticed? The person in front looks like the one wanted by the Town South King." someone said in the crowd.
"Yes, look at those two in the back, they also seem to be them! Right, aren't they just three people? They must be the three people that Town South King is wanted for!" someone else said.
Gradually, some people left. They remembered that the King of Town South had said that anyone who provided clues would receive 100 taels of silver. The remaining people were mostly sturdy men and even warriors, their purpose was self-evident. If they could catch the three Up Officials personally, they would have made a fortune.
Shangguan Yu stopped in front of the city-guarding soldiers and said loudly, "You'd better not block our way. My Dragon Slaying Spear doesn't have eyes. I'll give you three breaths' time. If you don't make way for us, we'll fight our way out!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, the King of Zhen Nan said that if they are caught, he will reward one million taels of silver and a title. One million taels of silver is enough for a lifetime, not to mention an additional title?" someone in the crowd incited.
Shangguan Yu coldly swept a glance at that person, "Hmph, are you really sure you want to intercept us? Money is indeed a good thing, but having money without being able to spend it is truly a tragedy!"
Shangguan Yu finished speaking and gave Qin Shou a glance. Qin Shou understood implicitly, he directly took out an arrow feather, aiming at the person who had just spoken to stir up trouble. Only by killing one person first can the warning be effective.
Bang
The person who was about to speak hadn't even reacted yet, and then fell to the ground. An arrow was inserted between his eyebrows, with the tail still slightly shaking. His face still had a hint of shock, who would have thought that Qin Shou directly shot him dead.
The people around him took a step back, looking at Qin Shou with fear. Qin Shou smiled at them, and they took another step back. To them, Qin Shou was the embodiment of a demon, one that could kill without batting an eye.
"You'd better think it over carefully, whether you want money or your life?" Qin Shou said coldly.
Some people, however, were sensible and walked away. They went to a distance and quietly watched the development of the situation. The remaining people, although afraid in their hearts, did not leave here. In their opinion, there were only three young men in front of them, how could they be the opponents of so many people?
"The three breaths of time have passed, since you're looking for death, don't blame us for not being polite!" Shangguan Yu's right hand squeezed the long gun, he was no longer prepared to wait. Since these people insisted on wealth, then they would have to pay the price for their choice.
Shangguan Yu launched a charge, time was pressing, he didn't have the luxury to waste it here. [Yezi] [Youyou] If they waited for Wang Zhennan to arrive, the three of them would definitely be dead without a place to bury their bodies.
"Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"
A black dragon suddenly rushed out, and Shangguan Yu looked at the soldiers in front of him without any fear. Shangguan Yu's spear pierced the first soldier who blocked his way, and with the impact of the horse, this spear directly penetrated the soldier's body.
Shangguan Yu picked up that soldier and then directly slammed him into the group of soldiers in front of him. Those soldiers all retreated backwards, and after that soldier fell to the ground, those soldiers surrounded him again.
"Cheers!"
Shangguan Yu let out a loud roar, and the black dragon pierced through the weapons of the soldiers. Shangguan Yu rode his horse, looking down at the soldiers with an air of superiority. He had switched from holding his spear with one hand to both hands, using powerful force to continuously attack the soldiers.
A soldier holding a knife, sneaked up behind Gao Yun and intended to cut off his horse's legs. However, Gao Yun saw the soldier but continued to charge forward. He believed that Qin Shou could help him resolve these dangers at the back.
The soldier had already caught up with Shangguan Yu, and his knife was close to the horse's leg. A triumphant smile appeared on his face. But suddenly he stopped moving, and he lowered his head in incredulity. An arrowhead appeared on his chest, and this arrow had been shot from behind him.
Qin Shou looked at Shangguan Yu and Zhu Shoucheng, as long as anyone had trouble, he could support them in the first place. However, seeing more and more people around, Qin Shou also frowned. The soldiers guarding the city were originally not many, but those who wanted money but not their lives were really too numerous.
"Withdrawing the bow like a full moon, looking northwest, shooting at the heavenly wolf!"
Qin Shou let out a light drink, and his surroundings seemed to be raining arrows. The miserable cries rose and fell, some people were hit by arrows on their shoulders, some were hit on their arms, and some were directly killed by arrows on their heads. As for these, Qin Shou only took a cold look, he didn't think there was anything worth sympathizing with about these people.
Shangguan Yu also killed his way out in a fiery rage. Originally, he didn't want to start killing, but these people just wouldn't recognize good intentions. He only wanted to force them back, but they actually blocked him stubbornly, did they really think he dared not kill?
"Ah!"
One black and one white dragon rushed out, ferociously charging towards the soldiers. Shangguan Yu swept his spear horizontally, the spearhead slicing through the bodies of several nearby soldiers. Blood splattered everywhere, the sharpness of the You Long Gun combined with Jin Yuan's strength made it impossible for them to avoid injury.
"The dragon is fighting in the field!"
The black dragon and the white dragon both disappeared, and a golden yellow dragon suddenly appeared. This dragon danced in the air, and whenever it passed by a soldier's side, it would inevitably attack that soldier. Limbs flew everywhere, blood splattered all over, and Upper Officer Yu's body was also covered in blood, but this blood belonged to others.
The battlefield is cruel, and Shangguan Yu naturally wouldn't have any sympathy. The sound of weapons clashing rose and fell, how could those ordinary iron-made weapons be compared to the Dragon Traveler Gun?
"Slaying life's minor art, slaying men and destroying enemies, shattering a thousand armies!"
Shangguan Yu once again held his gun with one hand, but his left hand moved rapidly. The surrounding heavenly energy fluctuated wildly, and those top-notch warriors felt something was amiss. They just didn't know that all of this had to do with Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu's five fingers on his left hand moved rapidly, as if following a certain trajectory. His left hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and the heavenly yuanqi seemed to have received some kind of command, bursting forth violently.
People within the range of the primordial aura suddenly felt a hint of danger. But before they could react, they were subjected to an inexplicable attack. All these people fell into a pool of blood, and upon seeing this scene, many people's faces turned pale.
Shangguan Yu's left hand grasped the gun handle, and he also felt a wave of weakness. This weakness did not come from above, but rather seemed to be a weakness of the soul. He shook his head, and the golden dragon rushed out again.
A person standing in front of Shangguan Yu was directly pierced by his dragon spear. Shangguan Yu didn't shake the person off, but instead continued to charge forward. With a sudden flick of his long spear, the yuanqi inside him burst out, and that person exploded with a loud bang.
Suddenly, the faces of many people around were splashed with blood. Some even touched their faces and found that it was not blood, but some shredded meat. The scene looked particularly terrifying, and some people retreated to the side.
Up to now, the three of them, including Shangguan Yu, have not suffered any damage and are still fighting unscathed. Shangguan Yu is getting more and more ferocious as he kills, his methods becoming increasingly ruthless; those who cross swords with him either die or suffer severe injuries.
Those people not only had to resist the attack of Shangguan Yu with all their might, but also had to guard against Qin Shou's unpredictable arrows. There were also some people who wanted to go and deal with Qin Shou, but unfortunately they didn't even have the ability to get close to him.
Zhu Shoucheng's side was even simpler, he held a straight knife with blades on both sides. This straight knife was very long, almost approaching the length of Shangguan Yu's Youlong spear.
Zhu Shoucheng urged the blade to slash horizontally and vertically, attacking those people who fell to the ground one after another. Some arms flew into the sky, some heads flew into the sky. And around Zhu Shoucheng's body, there seemed to be a layer of aura, fighting until now, his body didn't have a single thread of blood. Moreover, from Zhu Shoucheng's calm face, it can be seen that this battle did not put any pressure on him, he was still in control.
Shangguan Yu turned his head to look at Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng's situation, he subtly nodded. Looking again at the people in front of him, many were scared out of their wits, retreating one after another. Those standing in the front, holding weapons with trembling hands, knew that the timing was ripe. Having fought until now, they had not only exited the city gate but also already had a distance from the city gate.
"Brother Shi, Qin Shou, let's go!" shouted Shangguan Yu.
