Chapter 261 She really couldn’t understand Xiao Yan!
The moon is as red as blood and the moonlight is icy cold.
Lin Kaiji stood among the corpses, his clothes already stained with blood, some of his own and some of others.
A bloody liquid kept flowing out from the wounds on his body. His black hair was disheveled and he looked in a miserable state.
Ye Qi had followed Lin Kaiji for many years, and had never seen him in such a miserable state. But today, he was the one who made him so miserable.
Ye Qi felt so indescribably proud and happy that he even forgot the fear he had just felt towards him.
He looked at Lin Kaiji and said proudly:
"Ye Yi, I didn't expect you to have this day! If you surrender now, I will let you die more easily, how about that?"
Ye Qi said this and burst into laughter.
Seeing this, the others also laughed out loud, and laughed especially loudly, as if they were deliberately hiding their guilt, inner condemnation and discomfort for Lin Kaiji's betrayal.
"You traitors!"
Ling Su chopped off a man's head and said angrily.
The word "traitor" made Ye Qi stop laughing, his face froze, and then he raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at Ye Yi, saying:
"Traitor? He is the traitor. You are the traitors. You have become Xiao's running dogs!"
"Ye Qi, you bastard! Do you really think that you can live in peace if you surrender to the prince? Who dares to raise or keep a dog that betrays its master? Just wait! You will only be slaughtered."
This was the first time Ling Su spoke so many words and the first time he got so angry.
He had worked with Ye Qi for many years, but he didn't expect that Ye Qi would betray him in the end.
A huge excitement hit Ye Qi's mind. Now he no longer cared whether it was a betrayal or not. He only knew that taking their heads would be a great achievement.
"Ha! Where are you not a dog? And even if you die, you will die before me! Today, I will step on your bodies and use your two heads to complete my great cause!"
As he spoke, Ye Qi waved his hand and shouted loudly without any hesitation:
"Kill him! If you follow me from now on, I will make sure you can have the best food and the best drinks!"
"kill!"
The passion of those people was also aroused, and all the guilt and uneasiness were thrown out of their minds at this moment. Those things were not as important as their future.
Everyone rushed towards them without any hesitation.
Lin Kaiji wiped the blood that dripped onto his lips with his hand and stared at Ye Qi behind the crowd. His deep facial features were illuminated by the moonlight.
Looking at the crowd rushing towards him like a tide, a sinister smile appeared on his face, like a murderous evil spirit.
Suddenly, he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, tapped the ground with his toes, leaped up, stepped on the heads of the soldiers and flew towards Ye Qi.
Seeing Lin Kaiji rushing towards him, Ye Qi suddenly became frightened and shouted loudly:
"Stop him, stop him quickly!"
The soldiers raised their weapons and stabbed upwards continuously, trying to knock Lin Kaiji down. At this moment, Lin Kaiji was as light as a swallow, and even if he stepped on the tip of the knife, the knife did not bend at all.
Seeing that they couldn't stop him, Ye Qi quickly shouted:
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Those people quickly dispersed to both sides, but it was too late. Lin Kaiji's feet landed on the ground and he jumped lightly and stepped on Ye Qi's horse's head.
He stood on the horse's head with one foot, his posture as straight as a pine tree, looking at Ye Qi as if he were looking at an ant:
"Anyone who betrays this king will pay the price. Your death is coming!"
As he spoke, he raised the sword in his hand.
A cold light flashed, and the breath of death came.
Just as Ye Qi was about to raise the sword in his hand to launch an attack, the horse was startled, raised its front hooves, shook its head and retreated. Ye Qi slipped, and before he could react, the long sword in Lin Kaiji's hand pierced his neck like lightning.
Blood gushed out, his head was separated from his body, and he didn't even have time to call out before he was completely dead.
"Sir, well done!"
When Lin Kaiji's people saw Lin Kaiji cut off the traitor Ye Qi's head, they felt very happy and shouted excitedly.
When those who betrayed Lin Kaiji saw this scene, their eyes were filled with horror. Fear enveloped the entire battlefield like a plague.
They retreated unconsciously, fearing that they would be the next to die.
Having lost their backbone, their hearts were scattered, and the swords in their hands became extremely heavy. At this moment, it was no longer a weapon to kill the enemy, but a death warrant, the price for betrayal.
Suddenly, a voice came over:
"I didn't expect that after so many years, your swordsmanship is still unparalleled."
As soon as the man finished speaking, another voice came over:
"It's a pity that we are outnumbered. Now the entire Dead City is full of our people. I'm afraid my lord will not be able to escape today."
Everyone turned around and saw that the people coming were Zhuang Mingxiu, the head of the second noble Zhuang family, and Zhao Zihe, the head of the seventh noble Zhao family.
They came on horseback, followed by a thousand shadow guards.
Seeing them, those people regained their lost backbone.
Witnessing with their own eyes how Lin Kaiji punished the betrayers, their fear turned into a determination to kill Lin Kaiji. Otherwise, they would become the next Ye Qi and would never have peace!
They clenched their weapons again, the fear in their eyes turned into flames of hatred, and they wished they could tear him to pieces with their eyes.
"Ye Qi is such a useless guy. He brought so many people here, but he still hasn't been able to deal with the problem. He was even killed by someone!"
"After all, he has been sitting firmly in the position of lord for so many years. If he has no ability at all, wouldn't it make us look useless?"
Zhao Zihe sneered and said:
"Why are you still wasting time talking to him? Kill him!"
"kill!"
Following the order from the two men, driven by hatred, those people launched a final charge, holding swords in their hands and rushing towards Lin Kaiji like mad beasts, regardless of everything.
"Son!"
The explosive power of the beast's final pounce was unimaginable. Coupled with the absolute crushing number of people, Lin Kaiji's men were counterattacked and retreated step by step.
Lin Kaiji was unwilling to fight and rode Ye Qi's horse out of the encirclement.
After this battle, more than 500 people died on the other side, while only about 20 of them died.
But now there are less than fifty of them left.
The opponent has the reinforcement of Shadow Guard, so the strength of the Second Duke and the Seventh Duke should not be underestimated.
If they confront each other head-on now, they will only end up dead.
Moreover, the young master has suffered a lot of injuries now. Even if they try their best to protect him, they will never be able to get out.
Ling Su subconsciously stood in front of Lin Kaiji and asked:
"Sir, what should we do now?"
As soon as Ling Su finished speaking, there was a loud bang and the sound of an explosion came from inside. Then a soldier hurried over and said:
"Sir, the lady said there is a way to escape from here."
When everyone heard the news, their eyes lit up.
Lin Kaiji had no doubt at all. Looking at the densely packed soldiers and shadow guards rushing towards them, he said decisively:
"withdraw!"
Looking at their hurriedly evacuating backs, Zhao Zihe's face was full of sarcasm:
"I've been a dog under his command for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen him so embarrassed! But this feeling is really great!"
Zhuang Mingxiu ignored him and just stared at Lin Kaiji's retreating back with a serious expression.
If he fought them head-on, he knew that Lin Kaiji and his men were desperate, but they retreated...
Could it be that there is some secret passage that they don’t know about?
He frowned and ordered:
"Everyone, catch up quickly!"
Seeing his heavy look, Zhao Zihe sighed and said:
"Behind them is the prince. There are more people there than here. If they retreat from there, they will die. You are making a fuss out of nothing!"
Zhuang Mingxiu looked at him with a confident look and said:
"Don't forget, he is not only Ye Yi, but also King Wenxuan!"
He is the smartest person of their generation!
The two words "wenxuan" can prove his talent.
If he had not been blind enough to fall in love with his enemy's daughter, how could he have been schemed against step by step by the prince and ended up in such a state?
It was he who founded the Shadow Moon Tower. In just a few years, he expanded the Shadow Moon Tower to various countries and developed it into the behemoth it is today. It only took him ten years.
This is something they cannot do even if you give them ten years.
If he had not refused to cooperate with Beijue two years ago, he would have been willing to serve him as his lord forever.
Hearing Zhuang Mingxiu's words, Zhao Zihe said indifferently:
"You! You are just too cautious!"
As they spoke, the two men rode forward.
"Why don't we make a bet and see who can get the master's head today?"
Zhuang Mingxiu glanced at him, said nothing, grabbed the reins, and ran over quickly.
He always had a bad feeling.
Seeing this, Zhao Zihe sighed and hurriedly followed...
……
Looking at the evil wind that was getting stronger and stronger, everyone's eyes were filled with awe and fear.
"This evil wind can eat people."
"Yes, if we run in, we will definitely die..."
After hearing Lin Zhaoyue tell them to escape with the help of the evil wind, everyone's reaction was resistance.
Lin Zhaoyue listened to the shouting and killing behind her and said:
"There is still a chance of survival if we go in, but if we just sit here and wait for death, we will only die!"
"There's no time to explain so much. Everyone, cover your mouth, nose, and face with clothes to protect yourself from the wind and sand. Go!"
As she said that, Lin Zhaoyue asked Xiao Ying to put her down. Just as she was about to take off her outer robe, Xiao Ying handed her his outer robe.
From beginning to end, no matter what she said, he never doubted it.
Lin Zhaoyue looked at the robe and said:
"You'll need it later."
Xiao Xin said to the wind:
"Go and take two pieces of clothing from those dead people."
Feng Xin deftly handed him the dead man's clothes.
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Zhaoyue with a stubborn look in his eyes.
She knew that if she didn't answer he would keep waiting until she answered.
At this time, Lin Zhaoyue didn't want to make trouble with him, so she took it and put it on her head.
"We only have this one chance. If it runs away, we won't have any chance anymore."
Lin Zhaoyue had just thrown a thunderbolt bead, and at this moment the wind had already begun to move.
For unknown things, someone needs to be the first to try.
Lin Zhaoyue was the first person to propose it and was willing to be the first to go in.
She had just taken a few steps when the huge strong wind blew her away, making her feel light and airy.
"master?"
Feng Xin was somewhat confused and uncertain.
"Just do it."
Xiao Yan said this and followed.
Lin Zhaoyue only felt her body lighten, and Xiao Yun had already picked her up.
"Take it."
He handed the clothes to Lin Zhaoyue, and then walked towards the vortex resolutely.
Lin Zhaoyue was in his arms, looking at him with mixed emotions.
She really couldn't understand Xiao Yan anymore.
