The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 128 Approaching
With Huyan Moluo dead, the Yue Family Army soldiers, who had been struggling to hold on despite their numerous injuries, could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Wu Chengyu threw the one-legged bronze spear in his hand to the ground and turned to look at them.

"You all, find a place to hide and bandage your wounds. I'll take care of the rest of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Chengyu dared not delay and ran away as fast as he could.

Brother Lin and the others exchanged glances. Before they could say anything, Wu Chengyu had disappeared. They knew that their current situation would only cause trouble for others, but the way they looked at Wu Chengyu was completely different from before.

Wu Chengyu continued forward, his anxiety growing with each step. After running only half a mile, he encountered numerous more corpses along the roadside. Most of them appeared to be members of Yue Fei's army, but a few scattered corpses were clearly those of the people who had been chasing them.

These people died in extremely gruesome ways. Next to the body of each expert sent by the imperial court, there were at least five or six members of Yue Fei's army, clearly indicating that they had fought desperately to take each other down with them before they died.

Wu Chengyu saw several familiar faces, including those he had eaten meat with at the Mountain God Temple years ago, and those who had surrounded the Black Wind Duo on Little Spirit Mountain.

One of the men, riddled with seven or eight bloody holes, his eyes wide with rage, died embracing the assassin before both of them were pierced through by several spears.

A rough calculation shows that no fewer than fifty members of Yue Family Army had died in front of Wu Chengyu along the way.

The number of assassins who died, including Huyan Moluo, was only seven.

They were no longer heading towards Tiger Hill, and Brother Lu and the others began to flee for their lives.

But the imperial court had prepared for a long time and finally managed to gather them together, so how could they possibly let them escape?

Just then, Wu Chengyu suddenly heard the pluck of a bowstring and the sound of arrows piercing the air. Three sharp arrows shot towards Wu Chengyu in quick succession.

Wu Chengyu twisted his body and changed position. The middle arrow of the three arrows did not change direction, while the other two changed direction in an arc in the air, obviously taking into account the direction Wu Chengyu was trying to dodge.

But Wu Chengyu suddenly accelerated, and three or four of him appeared in a straight line at the same time, and the speed was getting faster and faster, and the arrows were thrown behind him.

The archer, who had been hiding in the dense forest a few dozen paces away from Wu Chengyu, was astonished to see Wu Chengyu's amazing lightness skill. He dared not delay and immediately unleashed a rapid-fire attack, drawing five arrows at a time and shooting them out in quick succession. His technique was extremely fast, and he shot out more than a dozen arrows in just a few seconds.

Wu Chengyu was getting closer and closer to him. Just as the arrow was about to hit him, Wu Chengyu, who was running in a straight line, disappeared again. Instead, he appeared in the air, touched the arrow in mid-air with his toes, and used the momentum to step on the dozen or so arrows, instantly arriving next to the archer.

Without further ado, Wu Chengyu directly grabbed the archer's throat with his claw. In a panic, the archer dropped his bow and grabbed Chengyu's arm with both hands, but it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and he couldn't stop him in the slightest.

With a snap, Wu Chengyu broke the archer's neck on the spot. Without even glancing at him, Wu Chengyu turned and left without hesitation.

Many of the Yue Family Army brothers who died in the past were killed by assassins, so how could Wu Chengyu not be on guard?

Then there were about twenty archers like them, some ambushing alone, some in groups of several, and some even engaging in crossfire.

These people may not have enough lightness skills to keep up with the main force, so they could only leave ambushes along the way to prevent reinforcements from Yue Family Army. But for these people, Wu Chengyu was their natural enemy. They could not avoid his perception when they lay ambushes, and they could not keep up with his speed when shooting arrows. Once they got close, they were powerless to fight back.

So many lives were taken one by one, but it did nothing to slow Wu Chengyu down; they were all just passing by and snapped their necks.

By this time, Wu Chengyu was not far from Brother Lu and the others. The aroma of Thirteen Spices was still very strong amidst the overwhelming smell of blood.

Because he had already seen Yu Xiaowu. At this moment, Yu Xiaowu was fighting with someone. Among the Yue Family Army, he was the only one who used hidden weapons, making him more suitable for fighting against martial arts practitioners. His opponent was also a hidden weapon user, and the two had been entangled for who knows how long.

There were seven or eight corpses of Yue Family Army brothers around Yu Xiaowu. He himself had more than a dozen bloody holes in his body. Although none of them hit vital organs, half of his body was already stained red with blood. Now Yu Xiaowu was pale and swaying, and he was only able to hold on by his will.

The person opposite him was in much better condition, with only three or four wounds from Yu Xiaowu's hidden weapons, and still had some strength left.

However, if Wu Chengyu still fails to arrive in time, Yu Xiaowu will inevitably perish.

At this moment, Yu Xiaowu barely managed to throw a flying knife with a flick of his right hand, and tried to follow up with his left hand, only to find that he had already used up all the flying knives in his hand.

His throwing knives had lost their power and accuracy, and were easily dodged by his opponent.

"First, there was that strange military formation, with its tight defenses. It made me waste a lot of my hidden weapons, and I even got hit a few times by accident. It's amazing that I was injured by a piece of trash like you."

If it weren't for this military formation, you would have all been wiped out by us from the very beginning.

You stayed behind with a few of them to cover the retreat, but unfortunately even I couldn't stop them. Judging by the time, the remaining few should have already been caught up.

Even if you risk your life, you'll still die in the end. So why bother?

Yu Xiaowu was too weak to speak at this point. He just stared at the other person fiercely, determined to remember the enemy's face even in death.

The opponent took out three needle-shaped hidden weapons, each three inches long and nearly one centimeter thick, with sharp points and a cold, gleaming light.

"Since we both use hidden weapons, I have three silver needles here. Two will gouge out your eyes, and one will pierce your throat. You might die a painful death."

The silver needle in his hand transformed into three cold stars and shot out instantly, but unexpectedly, he heard a voice in his ear.

"The villain dies from talking too much."

The man was instantly stunned. He turned his head to look, but saw no one. He immediately turned his head back and saw someone pass by him, chasing after the three silver needles. Just as the silver needles were about to hit the Yue Family Army soldier, someone reached out and took the three silver needles from the air.

Immediately afterward, the figure turned back, its speed even faster than the silver needle. He was only surprised and had no time to react. He had never imagined that someone in the world could outrun his hidden weapon.

But he had no time. Two silver needles were inserted into his eyes, and one silver needle pierced his throat. His words came true immediately. He felt a sharp pain in his eyes and his vision went black. Then, a foreign object was inserted into his throat, and he could no longer breathe. Finally, he could only slowly fall to the ground, feeling his life force leaving his body little by little.

He's right, the process of dying is indeed somewhat painful.

Wu Chengyu flashed to Yu Xiaowu's side and helped him up. Yu Xiaowu's eyes were closed and his lips moved, but he could not ask any questions.

"Brother Xiao Wu, I am Cheng Yu."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaowu perked up, barely managing to open his eyes. Looking into Wu Chengyu's eyes, he smiled slightly and pointed in a direction.
