Chapter 325: Chased down (2/2)

“Separate!”

Everyone dispersed at this moment.

They all started to escape on their own.Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu were together since two people could ride on a single griffin.Meng Qingwu’s cultivation base was not high and Chu Tian had overdrawn his power, so they had to take care of each other.In the end, they did not escape far.

“Ji, ji!”

The little fox restlessly called out.It wanted to warn Chu Tian that the first tracking team had currently locked onto the two of them.

Meng Qingwu found a black spot in the sky which was the impressive vulture mount of the War Hounds Tribe.There were not many of them, only being around twenty of them. They were all War Hounds elites with an average cultivation of the Illustrious Soul Realm.

They were the first team of trackers the Fang King sent out.They had found Chu Tian even faster than Malim, so they met them before him.Meng Qingwu’s heart sunk as she saw that the War Hounds had caught up!

The War Hounds’ leader loudly shouted, “Kill!”

“Just a few small fishes, the young miss should not be worried!”Chu Tian resisted the pain he felt and took out a Source Energy Submachine Gun from his gourd.He installed a normal energy magazine and took out the Netherworld Sword from his back, “Stand behind me.There will be jolts later on, but you need to hold on tight.”

Meng Qingwu’s heart suddenly felt bitter.

This fellow had clearly used all his strength, but he still wanted to protect her.When Meng Qingwu was faced with this critical moment, she could not be of any help at all.Her heart was filled with worry and guilt.

“Young miss, we’re a grasshopper on the end of the rope at this moment, so don’t think too much about it.Our tribulations will be faced together, so no one should think about who should leave first. But speaking of this, I do feel very honoured.”

Meng Qingwu did not know whether to laugh or cry, “At this time, what are you feeling honoured about?”

“Because although I wasn’t born on the same year, month, and day as the young miss, I can die on the same year, month, and day.Look at how our destinies are linked with each other, we really are a heaven destined pair!”

“Pei!Who wants to die with you!”

Really, Chu Tian, he was still in a mood to crack jokes.However, being teased by Chu Tian like this, the fear in Meng Qingwu’s heart was reduced by quite a bit.

“They’re coming!”

The airborne War Hounds soldiers quickly dived down and they began to shoot arrows at them.A dense rain of arrows fell down and there really were too many of them. It wasn’t hard for Chu Tian to protect himself and he could even protect the young miss, but the problem was that most of the arrows shot by the War Hounds soldiers were aimed at the griffin.

This griffin was so big, how could he protect every part of it?

Chu Tian locked onto the arrows with his Divine Sense and used the Netherworld Sword to send out sword qi to cut down the arrows, protecting the griffin with perfect accuracy.Once this griffin was killed, the two of them would not have a transport vehicle and how could they return to Imperial City?

Chu Tian did not have much spirit energy and now needed to protect this mount from all these War Hounds experts, clearly tackling too many problems at once.The War Hounds captain noticed this flaw and while Chu Tian was protecting the griffin, he suddenly shot an incomparably strong arrow at Chu Tian’s stomach.

“This is bad!”

Chu Tian’s Divine Sense could catch this attack, but this person was an archery expert.If Chu Tian were to evade this arrow, it would fly past him and hit the griffin. If he did not avoid this arrow, this arrow would be dangerous to him.

It was at this critical moment.

Meng Qingwu suddenly jumped out and used her body to block this arrow for Chu Tian.That arrow containing spirit energy hit Meng Qingwu’s right leg with a wild strength that pierce through the Starlight Immortal Body and deeply embedding itself into Meng Qingwu’s thigh.Meng Qingwu felt everything turn black in front of her and almost fell off the back of the griffin.

“Young miss!”Chu Tian tightly hugged Meng Qingwu.

Meng Qingwu shouted, “Be careful!”

The War Hounds expert seized this chance to charge forward with a long spear.That spear glow condensed a large amount of spirit energy, meaning that this person was an expert in at least the peak 6th Awakened Soul Layer.If it was a fair fight, Chu Tian would not even put him in his eyes, but it was currently beyond his grasp.

But that did not mean that Chu Tian was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!

Chu Tian’s left hand suddenly raised the submachine gun and he pulled the trigger, sending large amounts of light bullets into the sky.The War Hounds had clearly never seen Source Energy Weapons before and the several dozen light bullets all hit their mark. A few hit the vulture and a few hit the War Hounds expert.This high temperature was enough to even melt iron, so the vulture was instantly fatally wounded and the War Hounds captain fell from the back of his mount.

Chu Tian was trying to approach the other War Hounds pursuers and shoot from close range.

With a few pitiful cries, another two vultures fell from several hundred meters up in the sky.

The War Hounds warriors had all put down their bows, drawing out their weapons as they approached with no fear.Chu Tian’s Source Energy Submachine Gun’s energy had been exhausted and he did not have time to replace the magazine, so he could only send out a streak of sword qi to force back two of them.Another War Hound already reached the griffin and ruthlessly pierced his spear into the griffin’s abdomen, opening a terrifying wound.

“Ao!”

The griffin cried out as it lost balance, almost throwing Chu Tian and Meng Qingwu off.

“Damn!”

Meng Qingwu took the submachine gun from Chu Tian and installed a new magazine inside.Those energy balls with terrifying strength could easily break through armour, instantly leaving several melted holes on the bodies of the War Hounds experts.

“Young miss, good move!”

There were still several of the War Hounds airborne soldiers, there really were too many of them.They had come to an tacit agreement to attack from afar. Not to mention Chu Tian’s drained power, even in a normal circumstance, this kind of airborne battle was already hard enough to deal with.

Sou!

A blade quickly entered into the griffin’s neck and this injured griffin could not hold on any longer.Its body suddenly turned over and it fell from the high altitudes.

“This is bad!”

The two of them were thrown into the air and they lost their center of gravity, while also beginning to crash down.When they lost their mount, the two of them no longer had a way of moving through the air. The airborne War Hounds soldiers surrounded them and tried to tear them to pieces.
