Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 69 Killing the Strong Enemy
This scene was exactly the same as Li Ao's pursuit of Yan Yun a few months ago, which made him fume, but this time he would not let Yan Yun escape under any circumstances. He was heartbroken and plunged into the ice cave.
"Master Li, no!"
In just two breaths, the three eunuchs also arrived at the cave at the stern of the ship, but they were not familiar with water and did not dare to follow in.
Then, they directed their false anger at the sergeants, especially the general who did not obey orders.
The three of them suddenly rose up and arrived on the deck. The first person took out a token and showed it to the general.
From Yan Yun's appearance in the water village to his throwing himself into the water and then to the three eunuchs boarding the ship, the whole process was actually completed in just a few conversations. The speed was so fast that all the sergeants were stunned.
They not only marveled at Taiping County's ability to catch Yuan Tai, but were also surprised by the stunts of the palace's close guards. They were indeed very impressive!
"It turns out that my father-in-law is really here. I'm sorry for the neglect." The general suddenly panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize.
One eunuch asked arrogantly: "Your name is Sun Ze, right?"
"Exactly."
"Arrest Yan Yun immediately!"
"Yan Yun?" The sailor named Sun Ze was startled. The Yan family has a high prestige in the military. The name Yan Yun is too familiar. If it is really Yan Yun from General Wuwei's mansion, then what will he do next?
Maybe it will be completely different.
The eunuch with a gentler temperament quickly interjected: "It's the policeman named Yuantai who pretended to be Yan Yun and sneaked into the royal city to plot evil!"
Only then did Sun Ze show a look of relief, bowed and said: "I obey!"
Then he faced a group of sergeants and issued an order: "Immediately release the boat and search the Su River to capture Yuantai. Remember not to go deep into the center of the river to avoid the impact of ice floes and the boat capsizing!"
"Got the order!"
A group of sergeants began to release small boats from the giant boats to the river. They divided into groups of twenty, held torches, and used their pennies to hit the ice and spread in all directions.
Suddenly, except for the center of the river, the river near Dayu was brightly lit.
Such a big change attracted the attention of the Qiang people on the other side of the Huangshui River. They thought that the Yu navy army was attacking the camp at night. The horns sounded, the war drums roared, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
However, no matter how hard the Dayu navy searched, it was actually of no use at all. The ice on the riverside reflected the light from the torches, making it look bright red, and they had no idea of the changes under the ice.
There was a "boom" sound.
A hole was punched in the ice beside the river.
When Dayu's navy noticed it on the boat and rushed over, there was no one there. They looked at the dark ice hole and looked at each other.
Under the ice is a strange world.
The light reflected by the torch, seen through the ice, is hazy and psychedelic, as if we are in two completely different planes.
Yan Yun did not rush into the middle of the river rashly. He broke through the ice, took a breath, and immediately entered the water again.
He saw through the light on the river that not far behind him, Li Ao was chasing after him with all his strength.
The two of them moved forward and backward, swimming through the ice like fish.
Yanyun's speed talisman has expired, and he only has one strength talisman with little mana left, which he needs to use on the blade.
He used the Netherworld Mist to help him swim, and whenever he couldn't hold his breath anymore, he would use a chain hammer to break through the ice to get some air.
Li Ao chased him from the water and fell right into Yan Yun's arms. In such a cold and biting environment, it is still unknown whether the power of the dead soul can be exerted.
In fact, Li Ao has indeed encountered great difficulties in his life. Not to mention the consumption of mana to resist the cold, the power of the ghost soul flag cannot be exerted. The ability of those dead souls to move underwater is too slow, and it is impossible to attack Yan Yun.
It caused pressure and could not even slightly hinder Yan Yun's cruising speed.
But Li Ao has always had his eyes set high above his head, so how could he be willing to show weakness in front of a mortal?
He was also worried that Yan Yun would use water to escape like last time, and it would be difficult to capture Yan Yun in the future, so he would not let up the speed of the pursuit at all!
His abilities are mainly focused on the Netherworld Soul Flag. Since the Soul Flag cannot exert its advantages, it can only consume mana.
Every time he took a breath, Li Ao had to use his magic power to break the ice to get some relief. He also used his magic power to keep out the cold. Unknowingly, his magic power was being consumed rapidly without even realizing it.
Yan Yun has outstanding martial arts and has practiced internal martial arts. Although he is at a disadvantage, he can still resist some cold intrusions by constantly using his internal martial arts.
To a certain extent, Li Ao's decision to go underwater was an underhanded move, using his own shortcomings to face Yan Yun's strengths.
Gradually, Li Ao is getting closer and closer to Yan Yun. He only needs to move forward one foot more to bind him with magic power.
At this time, Yan Yun suddenly shot an arrow behind him, followed by a second arrow, a third arrow...
The shooting speed of arrows under water is greatly slowed down, and the damage capacity is limited. Three arrows can be fired in succession, so Li Ao has to treat it carefully.
He immediately used his magic power to activate the air shield, completely blocking the danger at hand, and consumed another point of his magic power.
Li Ao didn't have to do this. He could break the ice and jump out of the water to eliminate the danger, but he really didn't want to lose Yan Yun's goal, even if it cost him mana.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Yan Yun is, he is still a mortal and cannot last long in such cold water. He will eventually capture him.
After such an entanglement of chasing and escaping for a while, both of their bodies became stiff to varying degrees, especially their hands and feet, which were cold and numb, and they lost much feeling.
The process of the two chasing and escaping underwater has now entered the stage of who can endure it better. Either Yan Yun will be captured, or Li Ao will have to give up.
Facing a critical moment of life and death, the potential unleashed by the survivors is extraordinary, and this is perfectly reflected in Yan Yun.
In comparison, Li Ao was fighting for face, his determination was weakened, and his tolerance was also weakened.
But Li Ao is a monk, and the distance between him and Yan Yun is still getting closer, breaking through one foot, and they are no longer six feet apart.
The balance was tilting towards Li Ao, so he tried harder, and when he was close to three feet, he could condense his magic power into a blade and hurt Yan Yun.
Yan Yun showed no signs of panic, he bent his bow and arrows, and shot three more arrows in succession.
In the same way, Li Ao turned his energy into a shield to block the incoming arrows.
At the moment when the two collided, they made different choices. Yan Yun took the opportunity to break through the ice, took a breath, and dived quickly. Li Ao, after a moment of delay, pursued forward again, and Yan Yun's
The distance was reduced to four feet.
At this time, Yan Yunxing showed a fierce look in his eyes, and the opportunity he had worked so hard to create was emerging.
What about monks?
As long as the time is right, it may not be impossible to kill him!
The experience Yan Yun gained on the Longtouguan battlefield was the intertwining of blood and fire, the many struggles to break out with his life hanging by a thread, and the perfect control of the right time, place and people. These were all things Li Ao had under the protection of his father Li Du.
Incomparable!
Yan Yun put his hand into the breastplate, quickly took out a talisman and put it in his mouth. When his teeth touched the tip of his tongue, the power talisman was activated immediately!
Hot blood surged from Yanyun's Dantian, passed through the heart, and spread to the head, hands and feet.
In an instant, Yan Yun's whole body was filled with warmth, and his numb limbs felt a real sense of touch, and the feeling of incomparable strength almost overflowed from his body and surged out!
He bent his bow again, nocked an arrow, and shot the two remaining arrows in his quiver one after another.
Because of the blessing of the power talisman, these two arrows are by no means comparable to the previous three arrows. In addition, the distance is so close, they can penetrate huge rocks and shoot through bison!
Li Ao still followed the gourd's example and used his air shield to resist, but when the two touched each other, he realized that he was wrong.
The air shield was like a piece of rag that was penetrated by an arrow!
After all, Li Ao is not an ordinary person. He dodged the first arrow, but there was no second arrow. He was hit by an arrow in the abdomen, and his blood drifted with the river!
Li Ao was in pain, holding his breath for too long, and was injured. He had to gather his magic power to break the ice, and at the same time, it turned into countless fog hands and gathered above the ice.
At this critical moment, Yan Yun summoned the chain hammer weapon, and with the help of the Netherworld Mist, like a bloodthirsty beast, it rushed out of the water with countless broken ice.
At this time, the human body that Li Ao gathered with his mist hands was not yet fully formed and was in an illusory state.
However, Yan Yun had already rushed in front of him, hammering the chain hammer with unparalleled force!
The hammer wind roared and the cold light flashed. Those fog hands had just condensed into a solid body. Li Ao didn't even have time to react. The big head and his body were smashed into flesh from top to bottom, and the ice layer was also hit.
He passed through it and fell into the Yellow River again.
The blur of flesh and blood spreads with the cold river water...
Li Ao never dreamed that he, a solid monk, would be killed by a mortal just because of a careless move, without even a body being preserved.
Above the ice, the searching teams had just found their target when Yan Yun had already jumped into the water. They didn't even know what had just happened.
Yan Yun used his mind power to drive the ghost soul flag in his left hand, and waved it at the rapidly spreading flesh and blood. A twisted and painful shadow of Li Ao's dead soul suddenly appeared from the flowing water. It was filled with unwillingness, anger and indignation.
The nameless horror was incorporated into the flag.
Floating in the water, two special items were sinking, one was a blood-colored ghost flag, and the other was a small package only the size of a fist.
Although Yan Yun didn't know what this small package was, since it was treasured by Li Ao, it was unusual to think about it, so he put it into the space of his soul flag.
He had lingering fears about the bloody soul flag being snatched away by Li Du, so he ignored the situation and used the soul flag in his hand to extradite the dead souls against the bloody soul flag.
More than two thousand souls of the dead flew into the forest like birds, and flew into Yan Yun's hand. The flag seemed to have human thoughts, flashing and flashing, emitting a dark and dull light, like cheering.
The bloody soul flag has lost all its brilliance, leaving only its body, giving the impression of a mummy.
Yan Yun was afraid of Li Du's tactics and did not take the flag as his own, allowing it to fall to the bottom of the river.
By this moment, his focus had turned to the three eunuchs.
But now is not the time. Those three people have palace tokens and can order a group of sergeants. If Yan Yun takes the lives of three eunuchs by force, innocent people may be killed or injured. This goes against Yan Chang's repeated instructions.
The admonition to be like a soldier is like a son.
He glanced at the flickering fire on the ice, like a ferocious beast, taking advantage of the water's force to move away.
