Chapter 106: Jumping off the Cliff!
"Big brother, you're more familiar with this area. Do you know of any place where we can shake off these black tigers?"
Zhu Shoucheng's face turned serious, and he put on a thoughtful expression, but his eyes flashed with a hint of joy. The three of them kept running, but instead of shaking off the black tiger group's pursuit, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Shangguan Yu also took out the rolled-up sleeve, opening it and carefully searching. At this point, they could only rely on some special terrain, wanting to escape the pursuit of the black tigers was clearly impossible with their current combat strength.
"I've got it, let's go this way. Ahead of us is a cliff and if we jump down, these tigers definitely won't follow us down. But I know that below the cliff is a very deep pool of water, so jumping down will absolutely be safe!" said Zhu Shoucheng after some thought.
Looking in the direction that Zhu Shoucheng pointed, Shangguan Yu compared it with the map. Indeed, there was a cliff ahead. However, on top of the cliff, there wasn't any indication that below it was a deep pool. Of course, the map couldn't be that detailed either.
Shangguan Yu looked at Zhu Shoucheng, although he had always felt that Zhu Shoucheng was not very reliable, but at this time he had no choice but to believe in Zhu Shoucheng. Moreover, even if Zhu Shoucheng had some special purpose, it would not be possible for him to joke with his own life.
Zhu Shoucheng rushed forward first, at the very front, Zhu Shoucheng's face had a hint of cold smile. However, those following behind him, such as Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou, naturally couldn't see this hint of cold smile.
The black tiger group behind was getting closer and closer to Shangguan Yu and the other two. These black tigers, led by Hei Xiao, not only didn't slow down but were constantly increasing their speed. Shangguan Yu looked at this scene, his eyebrows furrowed again. According to the current situation, they probably wouldn't even reach the cliff before being caught up by this group of black tigers.
"Qin Shou, no problem shooting arrows while running, right?" Seeing Qin Shou nodding, Shangguan Yu said again, "Alright, you shoot at those black tigers to distract them, I'll help you!"
Qin Shou nodded again, and even if Officer Yu hadn't said so, he was already prepared to do so. The precious bow appeared in Qin Shou's hands, and at this moment, Qin Shou naturally went all out. The extra-large arrow was placed on the precious bow by Qin Shou, and then he urged the yuanqi in his body to shoot towards the group of black tigers.
"Withdrawing the bow like a full moon, looking northwest, shooting at the heavenly wolf!"
That extra-large arrow flew towards the sky above where the black tiger group was. As for this scene, those black tigers naturally also saw it. Before that group of black tigers could figure out what was happening, a rain of arrows came down on their heads.
Small arrows fell from the sky, some of which were embedded in Hei Hu's body, some tore through his skin, and others simply fell to the ground. There were also some Yuan Qi arrows formed by Qin Shou's Yuan Qi, these arrows were less powerful, but they had the advantage of being numerous.
Qin Shou's move indeed achieved the purpose of hindering, and even some of the black tigers' bodies began to bleed. Of course, the power of this move was not very great, at most it would only make the black tigers bleed a little, as for wanting those black tigers to get injured, this move still didn't have that much power.
Shangguan Yu looked at this scene and gave Qin Shou a thumbs up. Seeing Shangguan Yu's action, Qin Shou smiled with satisfaction. After seeing the effect of this move, Qin Shou took out another extra-large arrow again.
A wave of arrow rain came down, but the black tiger group suffered a disaster. However, the first wave was unprepared, and the damage to the black tiger group in the second wave was smaller. But Qin Shou's purpose was achieved, he successfully slowed down the advance speed of the black tiger group.
Shangguan Yu nodded in satisfaction, and his fingers also moved quickly. Each finger became extremely agile, as if it had merged with a certain trajectory of the law. That's right, this was another technique learned from Zhuge Yuan.
"A minor trick of killing, sweeping across thousands of troops like a rolled-up mat!"
The endless heavenly energy surged into Shangguan Yu's palm, forming a whirlpool of heavenly energy there. Shangguan Yu continued to run forward, bringing the heavenly energy with him. Like a snowball rolling down a hill, the whirlpool grew larger and larger.
Shangguan Yu made a move, and the momentum of this move shocked Qin Shou and Zhu Shoucheng. However, the two only looked at him strangely, not understanding how he could have such martial skills. The main thing is that it didn't look like martial skills at all, but rather like a magician's magic. But that wasn't right either, magic relied on elemental power, and when casting spells, one still needed to recite incantations. Shangguan Yu seemed to have just moved his hand, and his mouth hadn't moved at all.
Shangguan Yu stretched out his two hands, pointing at the group of black tigers from a distance. A massive vortex, as if uncontrollable, was pushed towards the group of black tigers. Shangguan Yu panted heavily, with so much heavenly energy now, he couldn't control it at all.
That group of black tigers also encountered trouble, the earth-shaking impact of so many days made them stop instantly. Faced with this attack, these black tigers had to concentrate their minds to counterattack. If they continued as before, they would probably get hurt.
However, Shangguan Yu could only launch such an attack once in a short period of time, unlike Qin Shou, who could use that move sustainably. The group of black tigers all moved at once, and while one black tiger's strength may not be great, the strength of a group of black tigers was extremely powerful. Facing Shangguan Yu's attack, each of the black tigers used their own ultimate technique.
Hei Pi wanted to catch up with Shangguan Yu and the others as soon as possible, so they couldn't afford to waste any more time. Each of the black tigers used their own special technique, which would allow them to break through Shangguan Yu's move in the shortest amount of time. After breaking free from Shangguan Yu's Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Whirlpool, they instantly rushed over to where the group of black tigers was.
That group of black tigers also formed a whirlpool of heavenly energy, which collided with another large whirlpool. A wave of invisible fluctuations spread throughout the field. Dugu Yueling was alone after all, and the whirlpool of heavenly energy he released was instantly broken. The large whirlpool formed by the heavenly energy emitted by that group of black tigers rushed towards Dugu Yueling and his three companions.
Shangguan Yu and the three of them were blown away dozens of meters in an instant, Shangguan Yu got up. Feeling the pain spreading through his body, Shangguan Yu couldn't help but laugh. It was this brief delay that once again widened the distance between the Black Tiger Gang and the three of them.
Even if Hei Xiao was stupid, he knew he had been fooled. It seemed that Shangguan Yu's move was intentional, using the power they emitted to blast them away. Hei Hu let out a furious roar and led the pack of black tigers in another swift pursuit of Shangguan Yu and his two companions.
"Xiao Yu, this move was done beautifully. I used several extra-large arrows, but they can't compare to your casual strike." Qin Shou held the precious bow in his hand, but he didn't continue shooting arrows.
Shangguan Yu smiled and nodded, looking at the map. He found that they were not far from the cliff now. Turning back to look at the group of black tigers again, if they didn't think of a way, they would probably be caught up by those black tigers again.
"Don't worry, my two junior brothers. I have a little something here." Zhu Shoucheng took out a sword, its body shining with light. "This is a forbidden device, and this sword can only be used once. However, blocking these black tigers for a while should not be difficult."
Zhu Shoucheng's hands suddenly lit up, and he urged the yuanqi in his body to throw the sword towards the black tiger group. The sword grew longer in mid-air, transforming into a ten-meter-long giant sword. This giant sword flew towards the group of black tigers, as if it was going to slaughter them all.
However, seeing Zhu Shoucheng still fleeing for his life, Shangguan Yu knew that this giant sword might not be as powerful as he thought. Hei Xiao also stopped in his tracks when he saw the giant sword. The giant sword exploded about five meters away from the black tiger group. A flurry of small swords flew quickly towards the group of black tigers, with several swords lodged in the bodies of the leading black tigers. However, Hei Xiao was unharmed, as the black tigers had protected it in the middle during the critical moment.
"This is good, let's speed up a bit. I think we can make it to the cliff before this group of black tigers catches up with us." Zhu Shoucheng said.
Shangguan Yu clenched his fists, feeling sorry for himself that he didn't have the power to fight back and would be chased to death by a group of black tigers. Moreover, now they could only rely on jumping off the cliff to escape this disaster, which was really frustrating. However, it's useless to say anything now, first resolve this crisis, and then consider future matters.
Looking at those small swords that had all disappeared, Hei Xi let out a loud roar again. It said to the other black tigers that as long as they could catch up to those three people, those three would definitely be killed by them. After all, they were humans, and the demon tribe didn't have any objections to annihilating humans. Moreover, Hei Xi also mentioned its use of "Eye Technique - War Gaze" this time, which made it even more likely for that group of black tigers to listen to its words.
"We've arrived, you see, there's no road ahead!" Shangguan Yu pointed forward and said loudly.
Zhu Shoucheng and Qin Shou also took a look and were relieved. If they had been caught by that group of black tigers, the outcome would have been disastrous.
The black evil spirit also caught up at this time, and when it found that there was no road ahead, it let out a triumphant roar. The other black tigers saw the situation and also roared excitedly. In their eyes, the next three people were their food in the belly. Having stayed in the land of death for so long, they had never eaten humans before, and it is said that humans are extremely delicious.
But what happened next left Hei Jue stunned. It roared and charged towards the three of Shangguan Yu, thinking they would desperately resist for a while. Who knew that the three of Shangguan Yu actually jumped directly from the cliff without any hesitation.
