In front, Luo Jin and the others were discussing countermeasures in low voices.
"Brother Zhao, the two of us will hold him back."
Zhao Yi nodded and had no objections.
The Ferocious Tiger Fist Dojo and the White Crane Fist Dojo had always suppressed the Iron Skin Dojo and Diamond Dojo.
"Brother Wang, Brother Tan, we will be counting on the two of you. You guys should act together. If there's a chance, deal with the others first before helping us."
"If things don't work out, take Junior Brother Zhou and leave first."
"Alright, we'll do as Brother Luo says." Wang Jinquan and Tan Hong had no objections.
Now they had come back to their senses.
If they were to face a martial artist at the Profound Purification Realm alone, the odds were against them.
However, if the two of them joined forces, they still had the confidence to protect themselves.
"The rest of you, just hang on a little while more. When Junior Brother Zhou is safe, retreat."
The others had no objections.
"Are you done with your discussion?"
The leader of the masked men let out a sinister laugh. His body moved, and in just a breath's time, he had crossed dozens of meters. The bloody smoke above his head turned into a giant python that wrapped around his arms. He opened his bloody mouth and swallowed Luo Jin.
"Brother Zhao, help me!"
Luo Jin's expression was solemn. He raised his fists and they instantly turned red as he charged forward.
At the side, Zhao Yi raised his arms like a crane spreading its wings and swept horizontally, bringing with it a wisp of blood light.
The two of them immediately used their blood-ignition techniques.
However, they were all very restrained. They were not as fearless as the other party.
Pah pah pah pah!
A series of continuous loud bangs sounded. Three figures moved quickly, their fists and palms intertwining so quickly that they turned into afterimages.
Wherever it passed, flowers, grass, and soil flew. Trees swayed and broke. Leaves rustled and fluttered in the sky, blocking the vision of others.
Wang Jinquan and Qin Hong took a few glances and confirmed that Luo Jin and Zhao Yi could still hold on for the time being. They looked at each other and joined forces to attack the masked man.
Both of them were invulnerable to swords and spears. Using their full power, they only attacked without defending. Immediately, the sound of bones breaking and miserable cries could be heard.
The masked man was beaten back repeatedly, and everyone's morale soared.
However, at this moment.
As Qin Hong's palm struck a masked man until he spat out blood, a sudden change occurred.
At some point, a masked man had reached his side and struck out with his palm.
Originally, Wang Jinquan was coordinating from the side, and his Bronze Armor Technique had already reached a small success. Qin Hong charged forward and did not care about the masked man's siege.
Even if the masked man's attacks landed on him occasionally, they did not hurt.
But this time, he had miscalculated.
When the masked man slapped him, Qin Hong's expression changed drastically. He immediately ignited his true blood without hesitation.
But it was too late.
PAH!
There was a dull thud.
Qin Hong was sent flying several meters away like a rubber ball. He crashed into a few trees before stopping.
With a thud, he fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned as pale as paper.
If not for his strong external martial arts, he would have died.
Wang Jinquan was shocked and took a few steps back. He looked at the masked man in front of him with a solemn expression.
The masked man sneered. "Big-eyed Bull, looks like I have to do it since you failed."
"Bullsh*t! Give me five more minutes and these two bastards will run as far as they can!"
A furious roar came from the distant forest.
Accompanied by a rumbling sound.
"Five minutes? I've already settled it!"
"Big-eyed cow, let's see who's faster!"
Yan Laoshan chuckled and charged at Wang Jinquan.
"Iron Skin!"
Wang Jinquan's expression changed. He took a deep breath and bent his legs like a tree taking root. He clenched his fists in front of his chest.
PAH!
With a loud bang, the force swept in all directions.
Wang Jinquan's face turned red as he stood rooted to the ground.
On the other hand, Yan Laoshan took a few steps back before he could dissipate the recoil.
Shaking his numb arm, Yan Laoshan muttered, "They're really hard, one harder than the other. These annoying barbarians!"
Under the sneak attack just now, he had sent the fatty flying with a palm. It was obvious that he was very resistant to beatings. He had thought that the remaining one would be easy to deal with.
Who knew that it would be so hard?
Yan Laoshan moved and was about to attack again.
A deep shout came from behind.
"Diamond Technique!"
Whoosh!
A strong wind blew over. Yan Laoshan felt a chill on his back and his scalp went numb. He hurriedly twisted his body and rushed to the side.
Crack!
There was a loud bang.
A tree as thick as a man's waist broke in the middle, and a shadow fell from above.
Yan Laoshan hurriedly retreated. His expression was no longer relaxed. He looked solemnly at the two figures, one fat and one thin, who was rapidly approaching not far away.
The fatty who had been ambushed by him previously actually acted as if nothing had happened!
Yan Laoshan did not dare to be careless. He fought Wang Jinquan and Qin Hong with all his might.
At this moment, an angry shout came from the distant forest.
"Yan Laoshan, how dare you say that you're faster than me? Who knew you'd f*ck up?"
Yan Laoshan had no time to care about him. He dragged Wang Jinquan and Qin Hong further and further away.
"Run!"
Seeing that the four leaders of the Plum Mountain Bandits had already disappeared from sight, a Bone Forging martial artist immediately shouted and rushed into the forest.
Two dojo masters on the other side had stalled the four leaders of the Plum Mountain Bandits and had the upper hand.
The remaining masked men were mostly Bone Forging martial artists or Body Forging martial artists who were proficient in joint attacks.
If they continued fighting, their side would definitely lose.
It was better to run first.
Where there's life, there's hope.
As if it was a signal, the disciples of the other four dojos also fled in all directions.
Fortunately, they did not forget about Zhou You and ran with him.
As for Yang Xiupei and the other ordinary people in the convoy, no one had time to take care of them.
Fortunately, the Plum Mountain Bandits were not vicious and everything could be redeemed with money.
After everyone ran into the forest, the masked men continued to chase after them.
Everyone kept separating, then separating again to close in on their targets.
During this period, the chase and counterattack continued. Both sides suffered casualties.
Unknowingly, there was no one else by Zhou You's side. He was the only one fleeing alone. He had already gone countless miles into the forest.
No paths could be found in the surrounding forest by now, and there were no traces of humans stepping on it. The forest was deep and dark.
There were faint roars of beasts. There were poisonous insects, rats, and ants everywhere. The air was filled with the smell of mold. When he took a sniff, he felt faint.
"I can't run anymore!"
Zhou You hurriedly took out an antidote pill and consumed it. He smeared a layer of odor-reducing powder on his body and looked around before quickly going down the mountain the way he came.
The depths of the mountain were filled with ferocious beasts. Even Bone Forging martial artists did not dare to rashly enter.
It was said that there would occasionally be extremely ferocious mutated beasts. Even a Visceral Tempering martial artist like Master Lu would find it difficult to escape unscathed.
After walking for a while, Zhou You suddenly stopped.
His line of sight extended forward, and the way he had come was clearly visible.
In an environment like the forest, it was easy to escape, but it also depended on the person.
He did not have any wilderness survival experience and did not know how to hide his tracks.
His tracks in the forest were like stars in the night sky, so obvious and dazzling.
As long as the Plum Mountain Bandits continued to chase after him, they would definitely be able to catch up to him!
