Chapter 215: Multi-Directional Interception

"Supervisor, it's not me."

"The squad leader of the supervisory team immediately said, feeling wronged,"

"「Something major has happened in the manor; the Elder ordered you to immediately lead the team to intercept the Gu family's thieves! 」"

"Gu Family?"

"He Kecheng was taken aback; the Gu family has always been on good terms with the He family, hasn't it?"

"Why would the Elder suddenly want to capture the Gu family's people?"

"「The Elder never mentioned the specifics; he only said we must capture the Gu family's people, or else... 」"

"He Kecheng raised an eyebrow,"

"「Or else what? 」"

"The squad leader trembled as he spoke softly,"

"「Otherwise, your supervisor position will be over. 」"

"Smack!"

"As soon as he finished speaking, He Kecheng slapped him across the face."

"The squad leader was flung away by the slap and fell to the ground."

"A bloody five-fingerprint suddenly appeared on his face!"

"「You're the one who's finished! 」"

"The squad leader covered his face, feeling wronged."

"Those words were spoken by the Elder; I was merely relaying them!"

"Regarding the Elder's orders, He Kecheng dared not be the slightest bit negligent."

"He immediately summoned all members of the supervisory team at the mining base."

"He began setting up a blockade to intercept the Gu family's escape."

"Just this mining base's team alone trying to stop Gu Pan and the others is like a drop in the bucket."

"But the He family possesses over ten mining bases."

"Personnel from all the bases joined forces, not to capture the Gu family's people,"

"but merely to delay their escape speed, giving He Qingyun and others a chance to capture them!"

"He Qingyun had personally witnessed Di Ying single-handedly capturing seven elders in battle."

"He did not dare to pursue Di Ying alone, but instead joined forces with two other elders to hunt him down."

"Other members of the He family were also each pursuing their own targets."

"Some members of the Elite Escort Bureau were quickly captured by the He family."

"Likewise, some members of the Gu Family Chamber of Commerce were also captured."

"Even though they had fled in different directions."

"Despite being blocked ahead and pursued from behind, they still could not escape."

"Even Gu Lin and his companions were captured."

"Di Ying was the strongest, yet he did not travel with Gu Pan."

"His objective was the greatest, inevitably attracting the most attention."

"If Gu Pan were to travel with him, they might not only fail to escape but would also be more likely to fall into the He family's encirclement!"

"Just as Di Ying had anticipated."

"After sensing his aura, He Qingyun, together with two other elders, chased straight after him."

"Di Ying snorted coldly and burst forth at his utmost speed."

"After confirming he had put sufficient distance between himself and Gu Pan, he turned and slashed with a blade."

"Great Accomplishment Blade Intent, wrapped in surging blood energy, came down with a boom, transforming into a blade aura several zhang long."

"He Qingyun faced him as a formidable foe,"

"「Let's meet him together! 」"

"All three knew Di Ying's prowess and immediately joined forces, each employing their own methods."

"A tremendous surge of energy exploded, annihilating the blade Di Ying had slashed."

"But after the violent explosion, they saw Di Ying had already departed."

"「Damn, keep chasing! 」"

"The exasperated He Qingyun roared angrily,"

"「If I don't catch this guy today, I'll write my name backwards! 」"

"In another direction."

"Dai Jing led several escort guards in escorting the Gu family's youngsters to flee."

"Just then, the sudden sound of footsteps from the woods ahead made Dai Jing's heart skip."

"「Careful! 」"

"She shouted low, and the other escort guards immediately raised their shields in front of them."

"At the same time, a dense barrage of arrows rained down from the woods."

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"The arrows struck the shields, producing a harsh clashing of metal."

"This arrow rain seemed endless."

Between each wave of Arrow Rain there is only a fleeting gap, and then another wave follows.

No matter how sturdy their shields are, they will eventually break!

Moreover, the He Family members lurking in the dark have even prepared a Cart Crossbow!

Those crossbow bolts, accompanied by a piercing, wind-splitting sound, caused even Dai Jing's expression to shift slightly.

Boom!

The Cart Crossbow slammed heavily onto the heavy shield held by the dart escort.

That heavy impact split the dart escort's tiger's mouth, and the shield in his hand was nearly knocked loose and flew away.

"Hold on!"

Dai Jing raised her shield and rushed to the front.

One hand raised the shield to block most of the Arrow Rain, while she approached the archers hidden in the dark.

Boom!

After several volleys of the Cart Crossbow.

The shields in the hands of several dart escorts at the front shattered with a bang.

Afraid that after another one or two volleys, their shields will collapse!

By then, even if they bring out new shields, they won't last long.

No one carries two shields of the same grade on their person!

Low-grade shields are utterly useless against the Cart Crossbow!

"Everyone, hold on!"

Dai Jing's gaze hardened, she let out a low shout, and taking advantage of the pause in a wave of Cart Crossbow fire,

She directly threw down her shield and burst forth with astonishing speed.

Dai Jing swept toward the mountain forest like a gust of wind!

He Kecheng, who was directing the archers' shots from the dark, upon seeing this, let out a sinister chuckle,

"Just in time!"

He barked at the nearby supervision team,

"Keep shooting!"

While he himself, holding a black long blade, pushed off the tips of his feet and shot forth.

He exerted force with both arms, slashing out a ferocious black blade arc that swept toward Dai Jing's waist.

Dai Jing gave a cold laugh,

"Your blade intent is far too weak compared to Di Ying's."

She flourished her jade sword, drawing a sword flower.

A mighty sword shadow shot forth in an instant.

The sword blades seemed weak, but ten of them quickly shattered the blade arc that He Kecheng had slashed out.

Moreover, several sword qi slashed fiercely at He Kecheng.

He Kecheng's expression changed drastically; he hurriedly raised his blade to block.

Clang!

Amid the piercing clang of metal, He Kecheng was shaken back over ten meters by the sword qi, his arm going numb.

"Sword qi is usually known for its sharpness; how could your sword qi be this strong?"

Martial Practitioners who use different types of weapons have different inclinations.

Hammer-wielding Martial Practitioners are strong in strength.

Blade-wielding Martial Practitioners are relatively well-rounded, but carry heavy killing intent and are more aggressive in attack.

Sword-wielding Martial Practitioners are similarly balanced, but lean more toward sharpness and grace.

Although He Kecheng is not an elder of the He Family,

but as the steward of the spirit vein mining base, his strength has reached the Early Martial Ancestor stage.

Yet he is not a match for this unknown woman?

After repelling He Kecheng, Dai Jing did not pursue the advantage.

Instead, she directed sword qi at the other members of the He Family supervision team.

Under a barrage of fierce sword qi,

the members of the He Family supervision team immediately screamed in agony, blood flowing everywhere!

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight members of the He Family supervision team

He Kecheng's eyes nearly burst; these were all the direct-line disciples he had cultivated!

"You, deserve to die!"

He wildly swung his blade, fiercely slashing toward Dai Jing.

Dai Jing gave a light smile and went forward to meet him.

Upon slight contact, Dai Jing subdued He Kecheng.

Although most of the He Family supervision team were wounded by Dai Jing's sword qi,

but most of them did not completely lose their fighting ability.

They still posed a considerable threat to the dart team.

Taking advantage of subduing He Kecheng, Dai Jing swung her sword down toward the ground.

The kicked-up dust obscured the vision of the He Family supervision team.

Preventing them from aiming the crossbow bolts.

You all retreat first!

The He Family people will soon catch up.

The Escort Bureau people must leave here as soon as possible!
