After Ye Jingyu noticed this, she was no longer in a hurry to leave. Instead she slowed down her speed to give Lan Ling plenty of time to shoot and kill.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Lan Ling’s arrows were like the summons of the god of death. Within several dozen metres they rarely missed and all struck the heads.
In just a few short minutes he shot thirty arrows in succession and killed thirty barbarians.
The demon star devoured the bloodline dragon power crazily and was almost excited to the point of trembling.
At this moment Lan Ling’s spiritual power had been completely exhausted. His head ached as if it would split open and he was barely supplementing his spiritual power with dragon power.
Gritting his teeth he fiercely shot out the final arrow.
Puff stab…
In an instant the barbarian thirty metres behind had his head directly pierced through and died on the spot.
He had killed thirty one barbarians!
But his arrows had been completely used up.
When Ye Jingyu saw this she immediately urged the warhorse and charged towards the direction of the Southern Yi border city.
…
Ye Jingyu’s horse was very fast. In just over an hour it had galloped dozens of li and reached a huge river gorge. There was a natural stone beam above it. Once they crossed this stone beam they would reach Wild Bull Valley and it would not be far from Falling Leaf Village.
However just as they charged onto the stone beam Ye Jingyu was horrified to discover that on the opposite side of the stone beam there were densely packed hundreds of barbarian riders. Every barbarian knight shot out greenish oily gazes.
Upon seeing Ye Jingyu and Lan Ling they immediately grinned ferociously and charged up.
The two of them felt shocked in their hearts. Who exactly was this barbarian army? Why did they come specifically to chase and kill Lan Ling?
But at this moment there was no time to think so much. They could only flee desperately towards the south. Behind them hundreds of barbarian riders chased madly.
Although Ye Jingyu was a high level warrior she could not reach the level of fighting a hundred alone.
The warhorse they shared had already galloped dozens of li so its speed gradually slowed down. The hundreds of barbarian riders behind them were fresh and waiting at leisure so their speed was extremely fast and the distance between them quickly grew smaller.
However these barbarian riders seemed to want to capture them alive so they never shot from a long distance. Otherwise under such dense arrows it would have been very difficult for Lan Ling and Ye Jingyu to escape.
The pursuers got closer and closer.
Lan Ling could even feel how beastly the gazes of these barbarians were when they looked at the curves of Ye Jingyu’s back and buttocks. If he fell into the barbarians’ hands it might still be alright but if a great beauty like Ye Jingyu fell into their hands she would probably be unable to live or die and would suffer the most terrible things in the world.
Jingyu, make arrows for me. Lan Ling said.
Ye Jingyu immediately drew her curved blade. While urging the horse to flee she chopped down tree branches.
She selected relatively straight branches and simply sharpened the front to make a point.
In a short while Ye Jingyu had whittled four or five crude arrows and handed them to Lan Ling.
In fact Ye Jingyu’s archery skill far surpassed Lan Ling’s at this time yet she still left the shooting to Lan Ling.
He bent the bow and nocked an arrow aiming at the closest pursuing barbarian rider and targeting his eye.
Although the movement on horseback was very violent once spiritually locked on there was no escape.
One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Lock completed.
Whoosh…
He shot out fiercely with one arrow.
Ah… With a miserable cry the barbarian rider at the very front fell straight off his horse and died.
Thirty two!
Next Lan Ling completely began to overdraw the demon star’s dragon power and shot at the barbarian riders behind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Thirty three, thirty four, thirty five, thirty six…
When he had killed the fiftieth one.
Lan Ling’s spiritual power finally collapsed completely. Even overdrawing dragon power was of no use anymore.
Boom… It felt as if something exploded fiercely inside his head and then he instantly lost consciousness.
Ye Jingyu held Lan Ling tightly so he would not fall off but the warhorse they shared was getting slower and slower. The barbarian riders behind were only twenty metres away from catching up.
At this very moment Ye Jingyu joyfully discovered that ahead there was a huge rhinoceros fleeing madly.
Drive! Ye Jingyu stabbed the horse’s rump stimulating the warhorse to use its last strength to gallop wildly.
When they were still a few metres away from that rhinoceros Ye Jingyu hugged Lan Ling and leaped up like lightning several metres high. She landed directly on the rhinoceros’s back then controlled this rhinoceros and fled madly.
…
He did not know how long he had slept. In his dreams the demon star released dragon power again and again crazily tempering the tendons, bones and muscles in Lan Ling’s arms.
A full ten plus hours later Lan Ling finally woke up.
Demon star, how much has my arm strength increased? Lan Ling asked.
Forty jin. The demon star said: Your arm strength is now two hundred and forty jin. There are still sixty jin left until the target.
Forty jin? Lan Ling immediately felt无比狂喜.
He had only devoured the bloodline dragon power from fifty barbarians yet his arm strength had increased by forty jin.
Now even if Lan Ling killed a hundred blood cloud leopards he could not increase once. However killing ten or so barbarians could allow one increase?
In this world the dragon bloodline of humans was actually so rich even if they were only barbarians.
Then when Lan Ling opened his eyes the first thing he saw was the haggard and pale Ye Jingyu.
You are awake? Ye Jingyu forced a smile. Her lips were colourless and her entire face had no blood at all.
This was the appearance of complete exhaustion where all the dragon power in her body had been used up.
Where is this? Lan Ling asked.
Deep inside the Ten Thousand Great Mountains at the entrance of a canyon. Ye Jingyu said.
Lan Ling looked and saw that they were indeed deep in the high mountains. All around were bare giant rocks.
At this time the two of them were at a narrow pass overlooking from above. It was easy to defend and hard to attack almost like one man guarding the pass against ten thousand.
Below on the steep mountain path there were densely packed barbarian corpses more than a hundred in total.
These were all killed by Ye Jingyu last night. Some were killed with the curved blade and some were smashed to death with stones.
However now Ye Jingyu had not only exhausted her dragon power and spiritual power but even the strength of her own body had been completely used up.
Suo Lun, we are going to die here. Ye Jingyu smiled towards Lan Ling and said: You have already woken up so I can no longer hold on. Remember if you cannot hold on later destroy my corpse.
After speaking Ye Jingyu directly closed her eyes and fainted. She had been holding on purely by a strand of willpower until now.
Lan Ling quickly picked her up and laid her flat on the ground.
Next Ye Jingyu would need at least one day to recover her dragon power while he had to hold on for that one day.
Soon there was movement below.
He looked up and saw that a hundred metres down the mountain path there were densely packed barbarian warriors. They were preparing for a new round of charge.
The clan leader’s order was very clear. They must capture the person in the portrait. They did not dare to disobey even if it cost one or two hundred lives.
Charge… With a hoarse roar.
More than ten barbarians holding simple shields charged up desperately.
Lan Ling turned and saw dozens of whittled wooden arrows lying neatly around.
Ye Jingyu’s archery was even higher than his yet she had chosen to kill with stones and left the arrows for Lan Ling. One must know that throwing a stone consumed more strength than shooting an arrow because when Ye Jingyu smashed out it was always with stones of several dozen jin or more.
Lan Ling took a deep breath bent his bow and nocked an arrow then locked on with spiritual power and aimed.
These barbarians had all their vital points blocked by shields with only their two legs exposed.
Lan Ling used spiritual power to lock onto the right foot of the first barbarian and shot fiercely.
Ah… With a miserable cry that barbarian was hit in the calf and fell straight down.
The mountain path here was extremely steep. With this fall he immediately rolled down and knocked all the dozen or so people behind him to the ground as well.
It was at this moment that these people all fell and lost the protection of their shields.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Lan Ling locked on quickly and shot arrows quickly.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight…
In just five minutes all thirteen barbarians were completely shot dead.
The demon star once again devoured the bloodline energy crazily.
Immediately afterwards the second wave of barbarians charged up carrying shields again.
Lan Ling used the same trick. He first shot the foot of the first person causing him to fall and roll down knocking the others down as well.
The barbarians who lost shield protection once again became souls under Lan Ling’s arrows.
Today Lan Ling had already shot and killed twenty five.
However his head began to ache fiercely again. His spiritual power was once again about to be completely exhausted.
At this moment a furious roar suddenly came from below.
Immediately afterwards a thin and small figure charged out fiercely.
This barbarian was pitch black like charcoal, only about two metres three in height yet as sturdy as a mountain with muscles like iron and blood red eyes.
He held a long saw blade in his hand and his body was covered in steel scales. Yes, the scales had been sewn alive into his body so it looked as if he had grown them.
He even had two sharp iron horns on his head. Of course they were not really grown but directly embedded into the flesh.
Lan Ling could not imagine how painful it was to plant steel scales all over the flesh or to embed iron horns into the skull. This barbarian was truly like a beast.
This person should be a barbarian leader. He stepped out from the crowd and began to loudly scold the other barbarians.
Many barbarians feared him like a tiger and kept retreating. One barbarian stumbled and fell to the ground.
The barbarian leader was furious. He stepped forward directly grabbed the man’s head twisted it off alive then chewed several mouthfuls of the flesh and blood before throwing the head down.
This group of barbarians really ate human flesh.
Next this barbarian leader raised the long saw blade and charged up fiercely.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Lan Ling locked onto the barbarian leader’s eyes and shot three arrows in succession.
Every arrow was aimed perfectly.
But the barbarian leader easily slashed with his blade and shattered all three incoming arrows.
Lan Ling’s arrows could not harm him at all.
His heart was startled. His gaze fell on a several hundred jin giant rock in front of him. He took a deep breath exploded with dragon power and pushed fiercely.
Rumble rumble…
Immediately this several hundred jin giant rock rolled down with astonishing momentum.
Those barbarians desperately dodged in all directions. Only the barbarian leader stood motionless in place with contemptuous eyes fixed on the rolling giant rock.
The opportunity must not be missed for it would not come again.
Lan Ling fiercely bent his bow and nocked an arrow locked onto his eyes and shot fiercely.
Boom…
That giant rock instantly rolled in front of the barbarian leader. He fiercely raised his giant blade and chopped down hard.
With a huge sound the giant rock was fiercely split open and instantly shattered into pieces.
At the same time Lan Ling’s arrow shot in front of him in the blink of an eye. His other hand moved like lightning and directly grabbed the incoming sharp arrow then pinched lightly.
The entire wooden arrow instantly shattered into pieces.
Too strong. This barbarian leader was really too strong. Fortunately he had not been there last night otherwise Lan Ling and Ye Jingyu would have lost their lives long ago.
Lan Ling immediately picked up Ye Jingyu and fled quickly into the canyon.
The barbarian leader was not in a hurry either. He grinned ferociously and led several hundred barbarians slowly chasing after them.
Come my prey, my darling! Inside the cave at the end of the canyon an incomparably charming and moving voice sounded faintly.
