724 Fleeing (2/2)

Chu Nanping looked down and said, ”… it looks like hair mixed with a bit of scalp.”

Tie Linglong trembled. She had killed people before, but she had never done anything so disgusting.

Shangguan Yun had followed her. But before he came over, his praise had rung out, ”Hall Leader Han is really invincible, easily killing two disciples of the Waning Moon Hall. Even your skills in peeling off scalps are first-class. I didn't even see clearly how… Ehh, why are you all stopping here?”

Chu Nanping raised his arm, trying to keep Han Wuxian's ”trophies” as far away from him as possible.

Han Wuxian grabbed Nie Zeng's belt, pulled him up, and patted him. ”You'll be fine, but why did you remove the chair from your back? Where will I sit later?”

Nie Zeng felt that this was the most humiliating moment of his life. Although the reversed circulation of his internal Qi had been greatly relieved, he could not move for the time being, and he did not want to speak either.

Everyone seemed to have chosen the same retreating route. Another group of people came running in. The one in the lead was Old Man Mu, holding a stiff person upright in his arms which made him look much taller.

The two of them were quarrelling as they moved.

”Put me down, you odious old man.” Tu Pianpian felt that this was the most humiliating moment of her life. Her acupoints had been struck and her legs were being held by the greatest enemy of her life, leaving her with no power to fight back.

”Haha,” Old Man Mu laughed hysterically. ”In your dream! I'll run all the way to the Kongtong Mountain and show your disciples this Old Man's new humanoid weapon.”

Behind him were Dog Butcher and several disciples of the Kongtong Sect. Dog Butcher wanted to save people, but dared not to get too close. ”Old Man Mu, please calm down, and please put down my Senior Sister.”

”Fight! Duel! Whoever wins will get the old woman… Ehh, why are you here, my lady?” The second half of Old Man Mu's words was for Han Wuxian.

Han Wuxian's smile suddenly disappeared. ”Your lady is in your arms.”

Old Man Mu immediately threw Tu Pianpian away. ”I wouldn't not take her as my lady even if I were blind. Who's that in your hand?”

A smile reappeared on Han Wuxian's face. She lifted Nie Zeng and glanced at him, saying, ”A handsome teenage killer.”

Dog Butcher rushed forward to catch his Senior Sister to save her some face. He was just about to unseal her acupoints when Tu Pianpian snapped, ”Well, you little dog. How dare you help your enemy to oppress me? You are betraying your own sect…”

Dog Butcher sighed and handed his Senior Sister who was still stiff to the disciples of the Kongtong Sect and said, ”Take good care of her.”

A swarm of soldiers rushed out of the camp. Shangguan Yun coughed and said, ”It will be too late if we don't run away now.”

Han Wuxian was just about to jump up when Tie Linglong anxiously checked her. ”This man knows where Han Xuan is.” She gestured at the fainted shaman on the ground.

Han Wuxian threw Nie Zeng away and grabbed the shaman, disappearing into the darkness in just a few jumps.

Chu Nanping was still holding onto the hair and was at a loss about what to do with it. Tie Linglong said in a low voice, ”Throw it away. Do you still want to do a deed of merit for her?”

Chu Nanping let go of the hair and then reached out to help Nie Zeng, but his hand was grabbed by Tie Linglong. The two then also quickly disappeared into the night.

Shangguan Fei would not fall behind in such matters as fleeing. He took a glance at the disciples of the Kongtong Sect and found that the one who had been hit by him was not dead. Relieved, he immediately ran towards the place where the horses were hidden.

One by one, they ran away. The disciples of the Kongtong Sect were not powerful enough in terms of internal energy, and could not unseal their Aunt Master's acupoints, so they could only run after Old Man Mu under her commands.

Dog Butcher looked at the empty wilderness and pointed to Nie Zeng who was lying on the ground, shouting, ”Hey, don't you want him?”

The pursuers behind got closer and closer, but Dog Butcher then picked Nie Zeng up and comforted him as he ran, saying, ”Don't be afraid. I'll protect you.”

Nie Zeng finally smoothed out his internal Qi and jumped to the ground, groping in the grass for his narrow saber while grunting, ”I don't need your protection.”

Dog Butcher glanced back at the teenager in surprise and then continued running away without stopping.

Nie Zeng finally found his saber, but the pursuers were almost in front of him now. Full of anger, he abandoned his killer's principles and decided to confront the group of horsemen.

He had to kill people to release all the anger pent up in his heart.

All of the cavalry in the camp seemed to have come out. Thousands of horses scrambled forward, causing a rumbling sound that shook the ground slightly.

But before Nie Zeng could get a firm foothold, he was drowned in the swarm of horses.

No one killed him. He was ignored as if he were a ghost by the living cavalry.

Nie Zeng twisted and turned to dodge the galloping horses. Then he suddenly came to understand that these horsemen were not chasing but fleeing, and they were more frightened than those who were ahead.

Someone was shouting something but Nie Zeng didn't understand. He slowly withdrew from the torrent of cavalry and looked out over the small battalion of the Court Attendants Army.

The raging flames almost lit up the sky. The last group of people ran out of the camp was a great crowd of servants. Without horses, they could only run in all directions on foot. Some of them came from the Central Plains, shouting while running.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Nie Zeng finally heard what they said, ”The Khan! Devil Bird! Please spare my life!”

The words 'The black horse will perish' written by Shangguan Fei were exceptionally effective but that was only part of the reason for the panic of the Court Attendants Army.

Nie Zeng looked up and finally saw the legendary Devil Bird: a huge shadow like the devil's cloak flew over the fugitives' head and then shot into the sky.
