Chapter 65: Battle for the Flag
Chapter 65: Battle for the Flag (Part )
Xiao Xia ran towards the top of the mountain. When he was still a mile away from the top, he suddenly stopped. He glanced behind him and saw a black shadow flashing hundreds of steps away. He was being stared at again.
Who could this be?
The three groups on the west route have been completely wiped out, leaving only Xiao Xia.
Could it be that Xiao Mannu was unwilling to give up and continued to hunt him down? No, his figure was not similar.
That must be a sniper. I wonder who the sniper on the west side is?
Xiao Xia calculated silently and couldn't help cursing in his heart. They had to stay in Zhongshan for a full five hours, but it wasn't even an hour yet. Why was he in such a hurry?
Seeing a big tree in front of him, he simply climbed up the tree, turned the tables, and made all those who wanted to plot against him fall into his trap.
The dark figure following Xiao Xia was none other than his enemy Yu Chuan.
After Xiao Xia was resurrected in the Yangtze River, the Yu brothers were terrified. At this time, participating in the competition was no longer important. Killing Xiao Xia to eliminate future troubles was their first priority.
They have been looking for Xiao Xia everywhere in the city these days. They are not familiar with Jiangning and have not been able to find her.
The Yu brothers only learned last night that Xiao Xia was going to participate in the flag-grabbing event. They immediately realized that the flag-grabbing battle was the best opportunity to kill Xiao Xia.
There was no problem with Yu Chuan being the team leader, and Yu Hai also wanted to temporarily change to a sniper in the flag-grabbing event, but was rejected by Xiao Gui without any hesitation.
Not long after the game started, Yu Chuan shook off his three subordinates in the middle and ran to the west. He was lucky and soon found Xiao Xia.
At this time, Xiao Xia climbed up a big tree, looking down from above, squinting at a big rock a hundred steps away. He knew very well that the dark shadow following him was hiding behind the rock.
This person is determined to hunt me down, so he might be either Chen Pan or Yu Chuan.
At this moment, Xiao Xia seemed to sense something and turned around. Sure enough, he found another black shadow dozens of steps above him, squatting in the grass like a wolf, with a long sword on his back and a short crossbow in his left hand. Who else could it be but Chen Pan?
Then the person below him must be Yu Chuan.
What a coincidence, two enemies who wanted to kill him showed up at the same time.
"Click!" With a light sound, Xiao Xia jumped down from the big tree. A short crossbow arrow was instantly inserted into the tree trunk where he was squatting just now. The arrow head flashed with green phosphorescence, and it was obviously poisoned.
Chen Pan failed in his attempt to assassinate Xiao Xia a few days ago. He learned his lesson and replaced the double-headed crossbow with a single crossbow. Although the single crossbow can only shoot one short crossbow arrow at a time, it is faster and has a longer range.
The moment Xiao Xia jumped down from the tree, Yu Chuan also jumped up and rushed towards Xiao Xia quickly. He ran fifty steps away and lay down behind a bush.
Xiao Xia also hid behind a big tree, and at this time he, Chen Pan and Yu Chuan formed a triangle.
A bold plan suddenly popped up in Xiao Xia's mind. This bold plan had to be implemented very precisely. The slightest mistake would result in failure, but if it succeeded, he would break the impasse.
Xiao Xia slowly extended his short sword, shook the sword slightly, and used it as a mirror. He saw from the sword that Chen Pan was aiming his crossbow at him, waiting for him to show up.
Chen Pan is of the fifth rank, and his barrier-breaking state can last for two hours every day. At this time, Xiao Xia and Chen Pan were both in the barrier-breaking state. Both of them could keenly detect the movements around them, and their eyesight and hearing were far superior to those of ordinary people. They both discovered Yu Chuan who was fifty steps away.
Of course Chen Pan knew Yu Chuan. The Yu brothers were guests of the Xiao family in Jiangdu. It was said that both of them were sixth-rank martial artists, but Chen Pan did not believe it. Yu Chuan's performance was so clumsy that he was not a sixth-rank master at all.
However, Chen Pan no longer cared about Yu Chuan. His entire attention was on Xiao Xia.
Only then did Yu Chuan discover that there was a sniper above him, but he didn't care about being eliminated. He was like a big snake, staring at Xiao Xia's back with a vicious look, and kept approaching Xiao Xia.
He was only a dozen steps away from Xiao Xia. Xiao Xia had her back to him, and seemed to still be paying attention to the sniper above. Yu Chuan gritted his teeth, leaped forward, and swung his sword at Xiao Xia from the side.
Xiao Xia sneered, and with a shake of his body, he dodged out of the tree. "Ka!" Chen Pan's short crossbow shot out at the same time.
The short crossbow arrow was as fast as lightning and shot towards Xiao Xia with incredible power.
Just when the crossbow arrow was about to hit Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia swung his short sword horizontally and swung it, as if he had split the sixtieth strand of the hemp rope, with his control of force and direction reaching the extreme precision.
"Dang!" With a light sound, the short crossbow arrow hit the sword and instantly changed direction, shooting towards Yu Chuan who was five steps away. Yu Chuan was only five steps away from Xiao Xia, and Xiao Xia still did not turn back. Yu Chuan was so excited that his mouth opened wide, and he changed from stabbing to chopping, wanting to cut off Xiao Xia's neck with a fierce sword.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and Yu Chuan could not dodge it. "Puff!" The poisoned crossbow arrow shot into Yu Chuan's mouth and went straight through the back of his head.
Yu Chuan let out a muffled cry, threw his head back suddenly, knelt down on his knees, and remained in this position motionless.
Xiao Xia didn't even look at him. The moment he pushed away the crossbow arrow, he shot out a flying knife.
Chen Pan never dreamed that his poison crossbow arrow would actually hit Yu Chuan. He widened his eyes in shock. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes. Chen Pan instinctively dodged. The flying knife came too fast. He only avoided the vital parts of his body. "Puff!" The flying knife hit his left shoulder socket.
The intense pain from the flying knife cutting through his flesh made Chen Pan scream. He threw away his crossbow, turned around, and stumbled toward the mountain.
Xiao Xia also jumped out and chased Chen Pan on the hillside.
Both of them were in the state of breaking obstacles, and their speed was very fast. They ran towards the top of the mountain one after the other, but the barrier breaking of the sixth level and the fifth level was completely different, and the power was at least twice as strong.
They had already run over the top of the mountain, and the two were getting closer and closer, until they were less than ten steps apart.
Just as he was about to catch up, an eighty-degree slope suddenly appeared in front of him. Chen Pan jumped in panic, but his foot missed the target and he lost control of his body. He rolled down the slope, leaving behind a long scream and rolling down the hundred-step-long slope.
Xiao Xia originally wanted to chase after him, but he suddenly stopped. Wang Shao, a sniper from the Jinling Xiao family, appeared at the bottom of the hill.
Xiao Xia turned around and ran to the east.
Wang Shao watched Xiao Xia go away, and helped Chen Pan up, "Brother Chen, are you okay?"
Chen Pan struggled to sit up, "I'm fine!"
His face, hands, and body were all scratched by thorns, but they were not serious. The real wound was the flying knife on his shoulder.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the flying knife off his shoulder. Blood immediately gushed out. He took off his clothes and quickly wrapped the wound with medicine.
"What happened?" Wang Shao looked at him.
Chen Pan gritted his teeth and said, "His name is Xiao Xia, a level 3 warrior from the Jiangdu Xiao family. I just blocked his shot but missed, and he actually dared to break the rules!"
Wang Shao said calmly: "Using a flying knife is not a foul, right?"
"I mean……"
Chen Pan originally wanted to say that Xiao Xia committed a foul when he assassinated the sniper, but suddenly he remembered that Yu Chuan was killed by his own poison arrow, so he couldn't create any more trouble at this time.
"It's okay, thank you for helping me, Brother Wang!"
"Do you want me to help you down the mountain and see a doctor?"
"Thank you, I'm fine!"
Chen Pan stretched his muscles a little and found nothing wrong, so he turned around and slowly walked up the hillside. He had to deal with Yu Chuan's body immediately.
If the Xiao family in Jiangdu knew that Yu Chuan was killed by them in violation of the rules, they would probably not let him go.
Wang Shao watched Chen Pan walk away and hesitated slightly. Although Chen Pan was very suspicious, he still quickened his pace and chased after Xiao Xia where he disappeared.
The head of the family asked him to pay attention to this young man named Xiao Xia. At this time, Wang Shao was full of curiosity about Xiao Xia. What ability did he have to make Chen Pan chase so miserably.
