Chapter 366 Breakout
The Night Walker had been lurking in the dark, his eyes as sharp as a cheetah, tightly locked on Gu Yang and Helian Feng. When the pursuers were fighting the two most fiercely, he finally found an opportunity.
Although Gu Yang and Helian Feng were brave, their attention was inevitably distracted in the face of a large number of pursuers.
At the moment when Gu Yang waved his knife to force back a pursuer, the Night Walker approached silently like a ghost, and his figure was almost difficult to catch in the night.
Suddenly, a fierce murderous aura attacked from behind Gu Yang. The figure of the Night Walker appeared instantly, and his dagger, with a breath of death, pierced Gu Yang's back.
"Be careful!" Helian Feng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. Almost at the same time as the Night Walker made a move, his sword light streaked across the sky like a meteor, slashing towards the attack trajectory of the Night Walker.
In the clanging sound, Helian Feng's sword light collided with the Night Walker's dagger, creating sparks. Gu Yang took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward to avoid the fatal blow.
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Dark Night Walker. He did not expect Helian Feng's reaction to be so quick. But he was not frustrated by this. Instead, he flashed and disappeared into the darkness again.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng knew that the difficulty of this battle was far beyond their expectations. They must find a solution as soon as possible.
Gu Yang quickly adjusted his posture and stood back to back with Helian Feng. The auras of the two merged again, forming a more solid defense circle.
"We can't be so passive anymore. We must find the Dark Night Walker and break his assassination!" Gu Yang whispered to Helian Feng.
Helian Feng nodded, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Then the two of them burst out with powerful momentum at the same time, forming a shock wave, temporarily forcing the surrounding pursuers to retreat.
In the brief confusion of the pursuers, Gu Yang and Helian Feng quickly separated, one to the left and the other to the right, trying to force the Dark Night Walker to show up by dividing their troops.
Seeing this, the Night Walker's eyes flashed with a gloom. He knew that Gu Yang and Helian Feng were trying to lure him out. But as a senior assassin, he had rich combat experience and would not be easily fooled.
However, Gu Yang and Helian Feng's strategy was not without effect. Their actions forced the Night Walker to reconsider his tactics, and this moment of hesitation gave Gu Yang and Helian Feng an opportunity.
Gu Yang suddenly stopped, his eyes locked on a hidden shadow. He could feel that there was a faint but extremely dangerous breath approaching quietly.
"Show up, Night Walker!" Gu Yang shouted loudly, and his long sword swung out, rushing straight to the shadow with a sound of breaking through the air.
At this moment, the Night Walker rushed out of the shadow like a ghost, and his dagger stabbed Gu Yang again. But this time, Gu Yang was ready.
Gu Yang's long sword and the Night Walker's dagger collided again, making a dull collision sound.
The power of the two men collided fiercely in the confrontation. Gu Yang, with his powerful strength and tenacious will, actually forced the Dark Night Walker back a few steps.
Seeing this, Helian Feng immediately joined the battle. His sword light was like the north wind in the cold winter, sweeping ruthlessly towards the Dark Night Walker.
Facing the joint efforts of the two masters, the Dark Night Walker finally felt the pressure. He knew that if he didn't retreat, today might be his doom.
In the repeated confrontations, the Dark Night Walker gradually exposed his flaws. Gu Yang and Helian Feng seized the opportunity and launched a fierce offensive together, and finally hit the Dark Night Walker's body in a precise joint attack.
The Dark Night Walker trembled, and a black gas burst out of his body, trying to resist the attacks of Gu Yang and Helian Feng. But this time, his dark breath seemed to be unable to completely resist the power of the two.
With a muffled groan, the figure of the Dark Night Walker was forced to retreat, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had lost the battle today.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng did not pursue, because the other pursuers had surrounded them again and blocked the way of the Night Walker.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng exchanged glances, and without words, they had reached a consensus. They knew that this was not the time to hesitate, and they had to break through the siege with a thunderous force.
Gu Yang's body sank suddenly, and the ground under his feet trembled slightly because of his strength. His long sword drew sharp arcs in the air, and every swing brought a gust of wind, breaking the pursuers' offensive one by one.
Helian Feng was like a nimble leopard, his swordsmanship was agile and accurate, and every sword stabbed at the pursuers' vital points, forcing them to be distracted to deal with it.
Just when the two were about to launch a general attack, Gu Yang suddenly shouted, and the voice contained a powerful force, which made the surrounding pursuers' eardrums hurt and their steps stagnated.
Helian Feng took the opportunity to thrust his sword straight, and a pursuer fell down in response. His movements were swift and precise. He dodged the attack of another pursuer with a flash, and at the same time, he struck another person with a backhanded sword.
Seeing this, Gu Yang was not to be outdone. His long sword was like a golden dragon, sweeping through the pursuers, and every swing brought blood and rain.
His body shuttled through the sword light like a ghost, making it impossible for the pursuers to catch his trajectory.
The two cooperated seamlessly and attacked fiercely, and the pursuers began to panic.
They thought that they could easily surround and kill Gu Yang and Helian Feng with their advantage in numbers, but they didn't expect that the two were so powerful that they caused such huge casualties in a short moment.
Under the crazy attacks of Gu Yang and Helian Feng, the formation of the pursuers began to become chaotic, and some even began to retreat and dared not move forward.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yang and Helian Feng were shocked. They knew this was the best time to break out.
The two men roared almost at the same time, waving their weapons, and rushed towards the weakest side of the pursuers like two wild beasts.
The pursuers retreated one after another under this fierce attack, and Gu Yang and Helian Feng finally tore a hole. They did not stop, and took advantage of this gap, like two lightnings, and were about to break out of the encirclement.
But at this moment, the dark figure appeared in front of them again.
The figure of the Night Walker was like a black lightning, and it was in front of Gu Yang and Helian Feng at the moment when they were about to break through the siege.
His face was covered with a cold mask, revealing only a pair of cold eyes, as if he could see through everything.
"Want to leave? Not so easy!" The voice of the Night Walker was low and full of murderous intent. His hands quickly formed seals, and a powerful dark energy gathered around him.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng felt a strong sense of oppression almost at the same time. They knew that the attack of the Night Walker this time was not ordinary.
A sharp light flashed in Helian Feng's eyes. He did not hesitate at all. The sword light in his hand poured down like a waterfall, trying to break the energy barrier of the Night Walker.
Gu Yang was not to be outdone. His long sword drew a series of bright lights in the air. Each of them contained the power to destroy everything. It intertwined with Helian Feng's sword light to form a series of dazzling light nets.
The two forces collided in the air, making a deafening roar. The dark energy of the Night Walker actually fluctuated at this moment, and cracks began to appear in his barrier.
"Impossible!" The Night Walker looked at his dark barrier in astonishment as it was shaken by the impact. He did not expect that Gu Yang and Helian Feng could still burst out such a terrifying power under such circumstances.
But he was a killer who never gave up easily. Seeing that the barrier was about to break, he gritted his teeth and jumped, his figure floating like a phantom, trying to find a ray of hope from the attacks of the two.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng were well prepared. Their attacks seemed to have eyes, always locking the figure of the Night Walker, not giving him any chance to breathe.
Finally, after a violent confrontation, the figure of the Night Walker stagnated, his barrier was completely broken, and his body was also severely injured at this moment.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of the Night Walker's mouth, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes, but he also knew that he was no longer able to fight today.
He took a step back, looked deeply at Gu Yang and Helian Feng, and then his figure shook, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared into the night.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng did not pursue, they knew that the most important thing now was to break through the siege and escape.
The two of them exerted their strength again, like two unbridled beasts, rushing towards the hole that had just been torn open.
Seeing the defeat of the Night Walker, the pursuers' morale dropped, and their offensive was no longer so fierce. Gu Yang and Helian Feng took the opportunity to rush through and finally broke out of the encirclement.
The night wind was cold, and the figures of Gu Yang and Helian Feng gradually moved away under the moonlight, and their backs seemed particularly firm.
Behind them, the dark breath left by the Night Walker was still lingering in the night sky, as if foreshadowing that there would be more storms waiting for them in the future.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng were like two arrows that broke through the air, passing through the night, and finally met up with the team members who had been waiting for a long time in a dense forest.
Their team members were wearing dark battle clothes, hiding in the shadows of the trees, and even their breathing was suppressed to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
"Elder Gu, Elder Helian, are you all right?" A burly team member stepped forward and looked at the two with concern.
Gu Yang waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, but the fatigue in his eyes could not be concealed. Helian Feng held the hilt tightly, his eyes still flashing with vigilance.
"We are fine, but the strength of the Night Walker is beyond our expectations. He will never give up after escaping this time. There will probably be trouble later."
Although Gu Yang's voice was low, it spread among the team members, and everyone's face showed a relieved expression.
"With Elder Gu and Elder Helian here, we believe that the group of enemies will not be able to make any waves." A thin team member replied, with a flash of admiration in his eyes.
"Now is not the time to celebrate. Although the Night Walker has temporarily retreated, he will not give up. We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to regroup."
Helian Feng's voice was calm and firm, and his eyes swept across the faces of each team member.
Upon hearing this, the team members immediately put away their relaxed mood and quickly got into the state one by one. They supported each other's slightly injured companions and quickly evacuated according to the predetermined route.
Gu Yang and Helian Feng walked at the front of the team, their eyes were firm and their steps were steady. Although they had experienced a thrilling battle, their will was not defeated, but became more determined.
As the team went deeper into the dense forest, the night became darker, but for these veteran warriors, the darkness was not enough to swallow their courage.
Gu Yang looked up at the starry sky and swore silently in his heart that no matter how many tricks the Night Walker had, he would protect his team members and bring them back safely.
Helian Feng held the hilt of the sword tightly, and the desire to fight in his heart burned again after a period of silence. He knew that this battle with the Night Walker was just the beginning.
Behind them, the sound of the team's march echoed in the dense forest, like a low nocturne, adding a bit of mystery and unyieldingness to the dark forest.
At this time, the team was shuttling through the dense forest under the cover of night. Everyone's footsteps were extremely light, trying to avoid making any noise.
The branches and leaves of the trees swayed in the breeze, seeming to guide them towards the depths away from Fengyun City.
Gu Yang was walking at the front, his eyes as sharp as a bird of prey, scanning the surrounding environment from time to time. He held a long knife in his hand, ready to deal with possible dangers.
Helian Feng followed closely behind, his sword already unsheathed, the cold light flashing in the night, warning the enemies lurking in the dark.
The night marching team seemed to blend into the darkness, their figures appearing and disappearing, and even their breathing was suppressed to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
The eyes of each team member reveal perseverance and vigilance. They know that although they have temporarily escaped the pursuit of the Night Walker, danger is still everywhere.
The moon shines through the treetops and casts light and shadow on the work, adding a bit of mystery and tranquility to this dense forest. However, for Gu Yang and He Lianfeng, this tranquility is just the calm before the storm, and they cannot relax their vigilance.
Just as the team was slowly moving forward, a low wolf howl suddenly sounded not far away, followed by a series of responses.
Gu Yang and He Lianfeng looked at each other, and both of them understood that this might be the enemy's method of using ferocious beasts to track them.
"Speed up and be careful of the ferocious beasts." Gu Yang whispered, leaning forward slightly and speeding up his pace.
The speed of the team increased accordingly, and they began to shuttle through the dense forest more quickly. Despite this, Gu Yang could still feel that something was following him secretly, and that feeling made his heart tighten.
Not long after, a huge black shadow suddenly jumped out of the trees and rushed towards the rear of the team. It was a huge black wolf, its eyes were like two burning coals, flashing dangerously in the night.
"Alert!" He Lianfeng shouted, and the light of his sword was like the north wind in the cold winter, facing the black wolf's offensive.
Black Wolf is extremely fast, but He Lianfeng's swordsmanship is even more powerful. With one strike of the sword, the black wolf's offensive was forced to interrupt. It let out a painful howl, broke into two sections, and fell into the darkness. (End of chapter)
