Chapter 68: Fighting Two Riders Alone!
Meng Wan hesitated, but knew that there was no time to waste and she could only follow Zhao An.
Perhaps it was because they dealt with elixirs and medicinal herbs all day long, but although the two women were not martial artists, they were not as delicate as ordinary women. Their physiques were definitely strong among ordinary people, and they could walk briskly through the forest.
Unfortunately, the Moon People reacted quickly, and once they realized they had been tricked, they immediately turned around and began their search.
hum!
Suddenly, an iron arrow shot from a distance, its immense kinetic energy piercing through a Moon Man on horseback.
That suit of armor couldn't save his life.
Before the nearby Lunarian warriors could react, several more iron arrows were fired.
Arrows were deadly, and in an instant, these men were shot to death.
On a mangrove tree a hundred meters away, Zhao An waited quietly, bow in hand.
Sure enough, not long after, several more Moon People arrived and circled the corpse.
They never imagined that besides the two girls who could release poison, there was another enemy hiding in this forest who could kill them.
The next moment, the deadly iron arrows flew again, and four or five more Moon Warriors died.
It must be said that a skilled archer would be in a mountainous forest with such complex terrain that it would be like playing on home ground, allowing them to maximize their skills.
Although Zhao An cannot be considered a sharpshooter, he is a heavy sniper.
One arrow pierced through armor and then through a person!
Although the Yue people's team was large, they spread out quite a bit in order to search the entire forest for Meng Wanyi and her companion.
"Four..." Zhao An muttered to himself.
He then absorbed the souls of four more Moon Warriors into his Soul Pool.
These Moon Clan soul slaves will be the consumables for him to cultivate Moon Clan techniques and increase his spiritual strength in the future.
Considering that there may not be opportunities to harvest Moon Clan soul slaves in the future, we should seize such harvesting opportunities as much as possible and kill as many as possible.
After shooting down several waves of Lunarian warriors with arrows, the enemy finally realized something was wrong and began to withdraw their forces, surrounding Zhao An's location.
The opposing force has approximately two hundred riders in total!
If this cavalry force were deployed on the battlefield, its numbers would naturally not be large.
But it's more than enough to hunt down two ordinary girls.
After Zhao An fired the last iron arrow from his quiver, he also noticed the approaching Moon People's army. He casually threw away his bow, jumped down from the tree, and disappeared into the bushes and grass in the blink of an eye.
With graceful movements, he moved with unwavering speed, leaving no trace of the grass or trees!
If that number of Lunarian warriors charged all at once on the plains, he might be caught in a fierce battle, or even be dragged to his death.
But he moved freely in the forest, unafraid of crowds.
A burly Moon Clan warrior, wielding a long spear and fully armored, scanned his surroundings with his exposed eyes.
However, it must be said that wearing this full suit of armor has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that the defense is greatly enhanced, but the whole body is covered by iron, and all senses are also blocked by this iron body.
These fully armored warriors are noticeably slower to detect the slightest movement around them.
The Moon Clan warrior stepped out of a large tree and stepped on a dark shadow, but he was completely unaware of it.
A blade emerged from behind the tree and silently pressed against his neck.
The sharp blade sliced through the grass with a single stroke, and the head, as big as a bucket, slid into the hay, while the headless corpse immediately knelt down.
"Extinguished?!" The Lunarian warrior not far away turned his head and, not seeing his companion, took two steps closer and kicked the rolling head.
Just as his eyes widened, a cold light flashed, and the blade pierced his mouth, instantly killing him once again.
Zhao An drew his sword, his figure disappearing once more into the vegetation, moving like a ghost through the encirclement of the Moon People, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, reaping lives.
This is also an advantage brought about by superior agility.
Catching him alone wouldn't be so easy.
It wasn't until a group of Moon Clan warriors died that the rest of them realized something was wrong.
A captain-level Lunarian, his eyes flashing blue light, suddenly roared.
This roar was like the roar of a dinosaur, and the sound waves echoed repeatedly in the mountains and forests.
The birds, beasts, snakes, insects, and rodents around were all frightened and fled far away.
Zhao An's head buzzed, and he froze for a moment.
The captain's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned his head to look in Zhao An's direction.
Without him saying anything more, the Moon Warriors, with their tacit understanding, rushed towards Zhao An's location immediately.
Zhao An remained calm despite his identity being exposed.
Let's just abandon assassination and go for a direct, brutal kill!
Holding a knife in each hand, he charged alone into the group of Lunarians.
At that moment, Death swung his scythe!
Wherever Zhao An went, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
He cast a weight spell on both of his knives, adding two hundred pounds to each of them!
An ordinary knife might not be able to withstand this extra weight, but both of his knives were fine knives given to him by noble families, and were of absolutely superior quality, so they would not break as a result.
Screams echoed through the forest, and in the blink of an eye, many more were killed or injured.
Until an axe warrior brought down his great axe.
The earth and the surrounding vegetation were instantly covered in frost, and even Zhao An's legs were not spared!
In the instant they were frozen, several Moon Clan leaders from the group rushed straight at Zhao An.
Zhao An lightly tapped the frozen areas on his legs with the back of his knife, breaking the ice and freeing him to move freely.
This bit of cold couldn't penetrate his indestructible body!
His attempt to restrict his mobility was futile.
It can only be said that the Lunarians' spells are not omnipotent.
Several hand axes came whistling through the air, but Zhao An dodged them all with agile movements.
One of the Moon People leaders, wielding a greatsword nearly waist-wide, swirled a whirlwind towards Zhao An.
The leader let out a strange cry and brought his greatsword down with a heavy slash, as if he intended to flatten Zhao An on the spot. The wind pressure on the sword was quite astonishing.
Seeing this, Zhao An was not intimidated at all and immediately raised his sword to fight back!
As their weapons clashed, both men were startled.
Zhao An applied a weight spell to his twin swords, and the Moon Lord leader in front of him did the same, applying the same spell to his swords.
The Moon Clan leader never imagined that the people of the Great Wu Dynasty would be able to master their Moon Clan's magic!
In terms of physical strength, he not only held his own but was actually forced to stagger and be pushed back.
Zhao An lunged forward, his twin blades thrusting out, ready to claim a life.
The Moon Clan leader slashed his greatsword across his palm, drawing out a large amount of blood.
His blood wasn't bright red, but rather had an eerie, deep blue sheen, covering the blade.
He then let out a low growl, swung his greatsword, and raised it high into the air.
The blue blood transformed into countless tiny ice needles, raining down on Zhao An.
Zhao An slightly turned his head to avoid his eyes, letting the icy needles pierce his entire body.
His tough, resilient skin and flesh once again proved effective; the ice needles, which would normally have riddled a person with holes, landed on him without causing any harm!
