C13 Seventeen

At the same time, Mu Qianxue, who was mounted on the horse, lightly sighed and muttered to herself, "It's a pity that we couldn't take his life."

Although she was very light, she was still carried by the whistling wind into the ears of Dongfang Wenshui, who was on the same horse as her. "Wouldn't it be even better if he watched Xi Chu destroy your hand?"

Hearing his words, Mu Qianxue faintly smiled and didn't say anything else. Right now, the most important thing was to leave Ying Tian before the city gate closes!

Although she gave up on the thought of suicide, she had never intended to let Xiao Ruo Ao go. That whistle just now was indeed a message to seventeen, but the content of the message was not to retreat, but ? make a move!

Unfortunately, after the whistle, there was no explosion from the palace city. Presumably, the arrow was blocked before it hit the ground, causing Xiao Ruo Ao to be unable to ignite the fuse and escape death!

Perfidy? Heh, he, Xiao Ruo Ao, was not worthy of talking about the word "trust"!

This was a battle of time, to see whether Dongfang Shou would first rush out of the city, or if the Heavencraft Guard would first seal the city gates!

The horses that Dongfang Gu had brought this time were all excellent mounts. They moved like the wind and lightning when they ran at full speed; however, the shaking that followed made Mu Qianxue's already weak body unable to withstand it, as her entire body seemed like it was about to fall apart.

Dongfang Zhi had been keeping an eye on Mu Qianxue's situation the entire time. Seeing that her face was frighteningly green, he hurriedly slowed down and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine!" Mu Qianxue resisted the pain that was spreading throughout her limbs and urged, "There's not much time left. We have to hurry to the city gate before it's time to begin, otherwise, it'll be too late. Hurry!"

Since Xiao Ruo Ao didn't die, she would definitely send out all of the Heavenly Secrets Guard to capture the entire city. With just a stick of incense, she had calculated several times, and determined that she would be able to leave Ying Tian safely. Once it was later than that, she would be trapped in Ying Tian City with nowhere to escape!

Furthermore ? Even if they escaped, they would still be safe. As long as there were traces left behind, the people of the Heavenly Secrets would chase after them relentlessly. And she, on the other hand, no longer had the time to erase these traces.

Although Dongfang Zhi was worried about Mu Qianxue's health, he also understood that this matter was urgent. He could only grit his teeth and brandish his whip as he rushed towards the city gates at the fastest speed possible!

After running madly for a while, the city gate finally appeared in his sight. Dong Fang Shan was overjoyed. He said in a low voice, "Endure for a while longer, you're about to leave the city!"

At the same time, the sound of horse hooves came from behind them. It was the Heavenly Mystery Realm guard who had been chasing after them the entire way, and upon seeing that the city gate was about to be reached, the middle-aged man in the lead took out a command medallion and shouted loudly, "The Heavenly Mystery Realm guards listen to His Majesty's orders to capture the criminals, close it immediately ?"

"Whoosh!" Middle-aged man was alarmed as he heard sharp sounds coming from the back of his head. He turned to avoid the arrow. At the same time an arrow grazed his cheekbone and left a deep bloody wound on his face. It was dangerous.

The person who shot the arrow was none other than the 17 that had been lying in ambush at the top of Yongde Palace. He had actually escaped under the siege of the guards of Imperial guards and Heavenly Secrets, and had even quietly followed behind them on his horse.

The moment he made a move, his whereabouts were exposed. Three guards of the Heavenly Mystery Realm immediately separated and surrounded the seventeen. Yan Zhongshan did not care about the wound on his face and shouted again, "Close the city gates immediately! Don't let them get away! "

Upon hearing these words, the officials of the city gate hurriedly wanted to close the heavy city gate, but the heavy city gate was not closed just like that. Just as the gate was halfway closed, Dongfang Shan and the others had already rushed to the front, and seeing that there was no time to close the gate, the officials of the city gate hurriedly moved over to block the gate with their fences!

Dongfang Zhi's eyes turned cold. Not only did he not slow down, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed over with an even faster speed. He shouted, "Charge!"

After hearing his words, the other people urged their horses to gallop away, sending them flying against the fence. While the city guards were frightened out of their wits and scattered in all directions, Dongfang Shouyi had already rushed through the half-closed gate!

"Chase!" The middle-aged man shouted with a dark expression. Xiao Ruo Ao had already issued a death command. If they couldn't capture Mu Qianxue, they would have to raise their heads!

Before he even made it out of the city gate, the black horse suddenly stood up and fell forward as it let out a whining sound. The middle-aged man reacted very quickly, but just as he moved, he slapped the horse's back and jumped up.

All of this happened in a split-second. When everyone managed to react to it, Yan Zhongshan was already standing to the side. As for his horse, it was kneeling on the ground and there was an arrow sticking out from its right hind leg.

It wasn't just his horse that was hit by the arrow. The two riders fell to the ground at the same time. Those two weren't able to react in time and were brought to the ground by the horse.

He had the time to shoot three arrows consecutively and one of the arrows was even from an arrow. This archery skill was really amazing but it was not so good for a seventeen man. Under the setting sun, there was a bone deep wound on his chest.

Dongfang Yi turned his head back as he sped through the air, and what he saw was a brilliant and dazzling scene. A flash of grief appeared in his eyes, he knew very well that 17 years of life ? He might not be able to hold on any longer!

Dongfang Gu forced himself to retract his gaze and kept running forward. At this point, only by escaping from this place could he live up to the value of seventeen drops of blood!

Seventeen knew that his life was coming to an end. He did not run away but took out the last three arrows from the quiver behind him and nocked them on his longbow, aiming at Yan Chongshan and the others who had gotten back on their horses.

And at this time, everyone from the Heavencraft Guard finally knew that just now, 17 arrows hadn't shot 3 arrows in a row, but 3 arrows at the same time without missing a single one.

This time, the seventeen people were still aiming at the chasing horses. Shooting people first, capturing thieves first and capturing the king.

The people from the Heavencraft Guard also saw through his intentions, and the attacks from his hands intensified. He had already been careless just now. This time, no matter what, they couldn't make him shoot another three arrows.

Every time he dodged, blood would spray out from 17's body, causing his body to get colder and colder. The thing in front of him also started to appear as a shadow, but he kept forcing himself not to fall down, and both of his hands were tightly holding onto his bow as he stared at Yan Chongshan and the others who were running further and further away.

There was no time. If this continued, those people would be out of range. Thinking to this point, 17 suppressed the waves of dizziness and aimed the bows at Yan Chongshan and the others before mounting the horses.

At this moment, a sharp sword radiating cold light pierced towards his chest. A trace of ruthlessness flashed through his seventeen eyes. He did not dodge or evade, and was instead pierced by this arrow!

While he was still in a daze, seventeen had already flipped the longbow over and placed it on his shoulder. He then secretly bit the tip of his tongue, and after borrowing the pain to recover his clarity, the three arrows left the bowstring and went straight for Yan Zhongshan and the other two's mounts.
