As the muffled sound of energy clashing came, Zhou Lang's body-protecting Qi instantly collapsed under Chu Tianshu's sword.
Zhou Lang staggered back and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
Chu Tianshu chased after him like a gangrene, and put a long knife on Zhou Lang's neck.
He pressed hard with his hands, and Zhou Lang knelt on the ground with a "pop".
Zhou Lang suddenly became stiff all over.
After living for so many years, this was the first time he felt that he was so close to death.
He knew that as long as Chu Tianshu was willing, he could kill him with just a little force on his hands.
At this time, Zhou Lang's men had just rushed to the entrance of the courtyard.
Chu Tianshu shouted: "If you don't want him to die, please step aside."
Zhou Lang's men all stopped and looked towards Chu Tianshu.
Chu Tianshu stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Lang on the face: "Why don't you let your people retreat?
Don’t you really want to live?”
Zhou Lang's eyes seemed to burst out with fire, but there was nothing he could do.
He gritted his teeth and shouted reluctantly: "Everyone, stand down."
The soldiers of the city lord's palace retreated like a tide.
Chu Tianshu patted Zhou Lang's face again: "That's right. As a human being, you have to be aware of current affairs."
Zhou Lang stared at Chu Tianshu with sinister eyes and said in a deep voice: "You can't escape. The four city gates are already heavily guarded. It's hard for you to fly."
Chu Tianshu said angrily: "I don't have much ability, but I worry a lot. You should think about yourself first."
He grabbed Zhou Lang's collar and lifted Zhou Lang up from the ground.
Zhou Lang's face was full of defiance, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If looks could kill, Chu Tianshu would have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts by now.
Chu Tianshu grabbed Zhou Lang's collar with one hand, put a knife on Zhou Lang's neck with the other hand, and said in a deep voice: "Get your people out of here."
Zhou Lang said coldly: "Don't push yourself too far."
Chu Tianshu patted Zhou Lang's face with the blade of his knife: "I just said you knew the current affairs, are you now proud?
Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Zhou Lang said in a deep voice: "If you wanted to kill me, you would have killed me a long time ago. Now you are basically delaying time and setting fire to the yard. You want others to escape in the chaos, right?"
Chu Tianshu laughed: "You're not stupid, no wonder you became a confidant of the City Lord's Mansion."
He pressed down the long black knife in his hand and said coldly: "Since you have guessed my intention, why don't you just follow it quickly?
Do you think, if my plan fails, will I kill you first to vent my anger?"
The fire is getting stronger and stronger, and it has begun to spread to the side, with the tendency of connecting into a large area.
Moreover, the sudden strong wind increased the speed at which the fire and flames spread to the surrounding areas.
Although Zhou Lang was anxious, but the situation was stronger than others, he still had to do what Chu Tianshu said.
"Everyone, get out of here."
Following Zhou Lang's order, the men he brought with him mounted their horses one after another, turned their horses' heads and prepared to leave.
At this time, someone walked forward and started rushing into the yard.
These people all came here for the huge bounty after recognizing Chu Tianshu.
They don't care about Zhou Lang's life or death.
Chu Tianshu held Zhou Lang hostage and sneered repeatedly: "Let your people drive all those people away. If anyone enters the yard, I will kill you."
Zhou Lang shouted angrily: "Come here, drive away all these bad guys. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed!"
The men brought by Zhou Lang rushed towards those who were about to enter the courtyard.
Although they are the personal soldiers of the city lord's palace, killing people's wealth is like killing their parents. How can those who are still waiting for a huge bounty be willing to do so? They instantly got into a fight with Zhou Lang's men.
Seeing that the situation in front of him was getting more and more chaotic, Chu Tianshu was secretly happy.
After estimating the time, he felt that Murong Di and others should have left the courtyard, so Chu Tianshu took Zhou Lang hostage and walked towards Zhou Lang's war horse not far away.
Zhou Lang asked coldly: "What do you want to do?"
Chu Tianshu said expressionlessly: "Do you think you have the qualifications to ask questions?"
Arriving next to the war horse, Chu Tianshu directly jumped onto the horse, then lifted Zhou Lang and placed Zhou Lang sideways on the horse's back.
Chu Tianshu put his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse rushed out neighing.
Seeing this, the people from the City Lord's Mansion also turned their horses and chased Chu Tianshu.
A master of the second rank of Blue Flame, he was actually placed on a horse in this posture.
Zhou Lang was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Chu Tianshu did not go directly to where the secret passage was, but left in the opposite direction first.
Zhou Lang shouted loudly: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Although Zhou Lang's horse was very good, it was still carrying two people, so its speed was greatly reduced. Zhou Lang's men quickly caught up with him.
