Chapter 63: Escaping with one's life

"Sigh, originally I didn't hold much hope for you, but you were weak, and on top of that, you were stupid! 'Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun' is a dangerous business where you either succeed or become benevolent.

The group battle is gradually entering its most intense moment, yet you actually dared to be distracted and leave the team without authorization to 'go jungling'."

Xiao Yu only glanced at the severed foot and guessed what had happened.

In fact, she had a premonition long ago.

After all, now it is "Eight Immortals Shooting the Sun," and the "Sun" being shot is the "Lieyang" (Lord Lieyang) of Great Qin!

Since Zhou Lang, Wind Lady and the others could judge that Kong Zan had met with misfortune from the changes in the Flag Gate Escape formation, how could the Three Thousand Fire Crow Army formation, which was located at the core of the Flag Gate Escape formation and was the key target, not perceive it?

What kind of person is the Lieyang Marquis?

Not to mention his personal strength, he received high-level military education from the Great Qin upper state, entered the ranks at thirteen, and has been fighting for Great Qin for eight years; how could such an experienced "little old general" miss a great opportunity?

In fact, the Lieyang Marquis's reaction was slightly slower than Xiao Yu had expected.

Don't know if he was suspicious or had other plans.

"Amateur, too amateur. The Western Eight Immortals not only lost their own lives but also threw away the faces of our Western countries together. No wonder the upper state nobles look down on us and say we are barbarians."

Xiao Yu shook her head, muttering while using the Dragon Kiss sword to rummage through the nearby corpses.

She wasn't familiar with Wind Lady, but she had heard that Wind Lady had a signature magic treasure called the "Wind Bag," which could store various winds and also release them.

The fragments of the corpse happened to fall around her; it would be a pity to miss them.

"Lie~ Yang~ Marquis!"

Wind Lady was floating in mid-air and was used as a target by the Lieyang Marquis; not only did Zhou Lang see it, but the other Western Human Immortals who hadn't slacked off also saw it, their roars filled with gnashing hatred, and also a bit of confusion and absurdity.

Clearly the advantage was on their side, so how did two key Human Immortals suddenly die, and die so miserably and inexplicably?

"Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~ Hiss~~~"

Not far away, the Lieyang Marquis's military camp fired out bundles of flaming rockets again, like rocket launchers firing, tearing through the air, carrying sharp whistles, and densely shooting toward the north.

This time it wasn't just one rocket, but seventy or eighty, connecting into a piece of fire cloud.

"Boom boom boom!"

Even from far away, Xiao Yu could see the top of the northern hill almost being ignited, the sound of the flames bursting like continuous thunder.

"Miss Yu, what are you looking for? It seems someone else is walking over."

Duan Yuhan is truly brave.

Despite the successive changes and big scenes, he still wasn't scared away and followed behind Xiao Yu, helping to observe the situation around them.

"Duan Laoshu Duan, have you seen Wind Lady? What does her Wind Bag look like?"

Xiao Yu didn't ask who was walking over.

Now she had some understanding of the Flag Gate Escape formation and had re-stabilized her sense of direction and space, seeing further and more clearly than Duan Yuhan, who was observing with the "ghost Dao."

The one coming over was Wave Moon Scatterer Zhou Lang.

He seemed to be looking for the Wind Bag too, rummaging through the corpses of Wind Lady scattered everywhere.

"When I was still alive, I had heard of Wind Lady's great name; she was very famous in the Western countries, and countless princes and young masters admired her.

Twenty years ago, I was still a teenager, and she was already the number one beauty in our Western country!

But I had never seen her in person, nor did I know what a Wind Bag was.

"Number one beauty twenty years ago, not anymore?"

"Twenty years ago, she was the number one beauty in the *Jiang Hu*; once she became a Human Immortal, she naturally wouldn't be compared with mortal women, and everyone called her 'Wind Immortal'; once she married, she was called 'Wind Lady'... Hey, Miss Yu, he is coming over, be careful!"

Xiao Yu asked suspiciously, "Who is coming over, did you see clearly?"

"A bit far, can't see clearly... Miss Yu, wait a moment, I'll go closer and see."

"No need." Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped him and said, "Just let me shout at him."

"You know who he is?" Duan Yuhan asked strangely.

Xiao Yu cleared her throat and shouted toward Zhou Lang, who was ten or so *zhang* away, "Father, Father, is it you?"

Having been escaped by Xiao Yu several times, like being played with, and then Wind Lady dying, Zhou Lang was full of fire.

Hearing the call, he immediately responded unpleasantly, "Who else could it be but your father!"

Although it was blurry and he couldn't even see a human figure, he still stretched out his right hand and pointed in the direction of the voice, "Boom boom boom!"

It was the "Wave Moon Immeasurable Sword Qi" that suppressed the opponent with vast true essence.

Xiao Yu dodged in a panic, failing to dodge completely (on purpose), gritting her teeth and using her body as a sword, her sword bone filled with Tiger Soul divine intent, receiving a part of the "Wave Moon Sword Qi" head-on.

"Pah~~"

She blocked it, but her mouth was also fishy and sweet, spitting out a mouthful of blood-stained saliva.

"Miss Yu, why are you calling 'Father' again! That is an evildoer, you must dodge!"

Duan Yuhan called out anxiously, with a bit of anger.

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "Although I can't see clearly, I can guess that the person is eight-tenths likely an evildoer.

But eight-tenths possibility is not 100% absolute.

As the saying goes, don't fear ten thousand, just fear the one in ten thousand.

Now foster father is in trouble, and he even died nearby.

With foster father's love for me, if he heard the sound of fighting, how could he have no concern?

If he rushed over to find me, but I mistakenly thought he was an evildoer and used the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" that can harm ghosts and gods, committing an irreparable heaven-sized mistake, what should I do?

Shouting once might lead to recognizing the wrong person, but it will definitely not accidentally injure foster father."

Duan Yuhan believed it.

He had personally experienced the ferocity of "Tiger Soul Seven Kills"... In fact, before he personally experienced it, he had heard his son Guisheng describe the terror of Miss Yu's "fierce tiger form."

Even if Miss Yu wasn't targeting him, even if he was two or three *zhang* away, when Miss Yu turned into a great sword, the black-red evil aura surrounding the great sword still made his soul body sting and almost scatter and split.

"Sigh, only a person of extreme filial piety like Miss Yu can consider things so thoroughly; Duan was rude just now." Duan Yuhan bowed and saluted Xiao Yu.

"I am not an ungrateful person; I understand you meant well, Duan Laoshu Duan~~"

Xiao Yu dealt with Duan Yuhan, but her heart was half-joy and half-worry.

Joy that Zhou Lang finally took the bait.

Worry that the Purple Mansion's deduction was not going very smoothly.

Investing her insights into Zhou Lang's sword moves, sword intent, and sword qi into the Purple Mansion, the Purple Mansion immediately analyzed the flaws in Zhou Lang's sword moves, sword intent, and sword qi.

But to kill Zhou Lang, the Purple Mansion's deduction encountered a stutter.

"Zhou Lang must have powerful protective means; his immortal sword technique should be able to achieve both offense and defense!

The flaws found by the Purple Mansion now are only his offensive moves, not his protective arts; it's a bit troublesome..."

Xiao Yu was a bit worried, but not surprised.

Like Kong Zan, relying purely on strange arts to eat, without protective magic treasures and spells, like an ordinary person with superpowers, actually made her a bit surprised.

Uh, Xiao Yu misunderstood; Kong Zan was not an ordinary person with superpowers.

He also practiced breathing techniques, and the level of his internal qi cultivation method was very high, almost crossing the level of immortal martial arts, which could be considered an immortal cultivation method.

It's just that his breathing technique was mainly to manipulate heaven and earth energy, and strengthening the body was just an incidental effect; it wouldn't train the body into indestructible refined steel.

And Kong Zan was not without protective arts.

He had practiced a more awesome yin spirit, and the body was just a dharma body.

As long as the yin spirit is not extinguished, it doesn't matter if the dharma body suffers some fatal injuries.

It was only after Xiao Yu cut off his head that Kong Zan became truly angry; the dharma body was destroyed!

What's more unfortunate is that the "Tiger Soul Seven Kills" Xiao Yu practiced was originally an immortal martial skill for beheading ghosts and gods.

"Little bastard, don't hide anymore, roll out and die!"

Having escaped Xiao Yu easily again, Zhou Lang's mentality was a bit unbalanced, and he began to wantonly sprinkle true essence, stimulating large pieces of sharp sword qi in all directions.

"Wait for this fool to exhaust his energy, perhaps I can find an opportunity..."

Xiao Yu watched calmly from afar, occasionally deliberately stepping forward to receive a part of the sword qi head-on.

It was both to give Zhou Lang some positive feedback, letting him continue to waste energy, and to further study his immortal sword profound meaning.

"Miss Yu, let's go, the evildoer is too fierce."

Seeing Xiao Yu being hit by sword qi until the corners of her mouth overflowed with blood, Duan Yuhan, who didn't understand martial arts, was extremely worried.

"Sigh, the backyard is only so big, where can we go? The front is already a battlefield, can't go; there are ambushes on the hillside behind, don't dare to climb." Xiao Yu sighed.

While she and Zhou Lang were tearing at each other, the Three Thousand Fire Crow Formation in the front yard had been completely activated; even from far away, one could see a piece of red-hot fire sea, from which rockets flew out continuously, leaving thunderous firelight on the nearby hills.

Relatively speaking, there was only the anger and sword qi wantonly vented by Zhou Lang in the backyard, which instead seemed quieter and safer.

"Dou Yilin, why not launch now, when will you wait?!"

Suddenly, a roar came from the northwest.

—Another Human Immortal has found their way over; judging by the voice, it should be "Wind Immortal" Wind Lady.

Dou Yilin was silent for a moment, his voice shaking the wilderness, "Miao Monk, do it!"

"Alright!" Miao Monk's voice came from the east, on a hillside not far from Xiao Yu.

"Miao Monk, wait~"

Zhou Lang shouted anxiously, and no longer cared about Xiao Yu, hurriedly flying toward the hillside with his sword.

"Dog-fucking Western Eight Immortals, this is about to unleash a big move, and the range is huge, definitely affecting the backyard, otherwise Zhou Lang wouldn't be so panicked!"

Xiao Yu's heart was in chaos; she also wanted to run, but didn't know where to run.

"Stupid Western Eight Immortals, they don't even understand the principle of surrounding three and leaving one, stubbornly not giving people a way to live."

"Miss Yu, it's raining." Duan Yuhan said.

"Pitter-patter~~~"

It's not just raining; it's as if the Old Heaven is standing in the sky, pouring water onto the earth with a ladle.

"Damn it, they want to flood Feixian Ferry!"

Xiao Yu cursed, and while running forward, she shouted, "Duan Laoshu Duan, you hurry and find a place to hide; a big flood is coming immediately."

Duan Yuhan hesitated; although he is a ghost, he is not a water ghost, and he is a bit afraid of water.

Feixian Ferry is next to the Hualong River; if he is washed into the Hualong River by the big water, he won't be able to go back.

But the benefactor hasn't escaped danger yet, how can he leave alone?

Xiao Yu seemed to guess his thoughts and immediately said, "You don't need to worry about me; I have a way to save my life. It's just that my method is not suitable for you; I am going to the military camp, but the evil aura in the army will hurt you."

"Can they let you in?"

"Of course they can, because I have this!"

Xiao Yu picked up Kong Zan's head, which was dead with unclosed eyes, and laughed, "This is the brick to knock on the door."

"But the military camp is in the front yard, still can't hide." Duan Yuhan said.

"If the Lieyang Marquis can also be drowned by water, I can be considered to have died in my place, with no resentment."

Actually, she is not afraid of being drowned; simple big water absolutely cannot drown her.
