Chapter 923: Chasing and Killing

Because Zuo Feng was in the air at this time, and he had already entered the gliding state, it was almost impossible to react quickly.

The moment the fireball was launched, Zuo Feng already knew what it was. It was still difficult to find the target in a city of such a scale in the dark night. This kind of fireworks used for lighting was the most appropriate choice at the moment.

It was not used before, and I think the other party did not want to make too much noise. Maybe it was because the sky had changed and it would be completely bright in a while. At that time, people on the street would hide one after another, and the chaotic situation would be difficult to control, so these people chose to use lighting fireworks to help find people in a hurry.

The time was so coincidental that Zuo Feng had just left the city, and the fireworks just took off at this time. If Zuo Feng changed his posture in the air and stopped gliding, he would definitely fall quickly. He was not a real Qi Refining Stage expert, and this kind of gliding was already a tricky method.

Once he stopped gliding, Zuo Feng could only fall directly to the ground like an ordinary meat ball. There was no possibility of survival if he fell directly from this height.

So at that moment, Zuo Feng knew that he had no other choice but to let his figure be completely exposed to the eyes of the city guards. The only thing he could do was to keep speeding up and sliding forward.

As he slid forward at an increasing speed, countless torches lit up on the city wall behind him, and the sound of alarms spread throughout the entire Linshan County. Then there was the sound of bowstrings, and arrows flew from the city wall, whistling towards Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng, who was in the air, did not need to look back. Although such arrows came with great force, they had already reached half of their flight distance when they were behind him, and their power had been greatly weakened. In addition, the flight trajectory of the arrow was easier to capture. Zuo Feng could capture the trajectory of the arrow simply with his pair of smart ears.

His body swayed left and right in the air like a drunk, but he dodged the flying arrows at critical moments and did not let any arrows hit him.

However, Zuo Feng did not show any joy because of this. Instead, his expression became more serious when he looked to the right and back. Countless flames left the scope of Jiabao City and were coming towards him at a very fast speed. The other party must have a mount to travel, so they could reach such a speed.

Zuo Feng wanted to stop and explain, or let the other party see that he was not their target, but this idea was suppressed after just a little hesitation in his mind.

Zuo Feng was not a fool. He knew that this was just an impulse and it would be useless to explain to these people.

Seeing that they had come to deal with that team with such a big battle, they must not want anyone to escape. Even if they misunderstood that he was an insignificant person in the team, they would not let him go. Moreover, he could not really prove his identity. If he could prove himself, it was the small sign of the medicine boy who was selected for promotion.

If this identity was exposed, the trouble would probably be much greater than proving his identity and being hunted. Zuo Feng had no other choice but to bite the bullet and continue to escape, and the speed was adjusted to the fastest during the gliding.

However, with the experience of the last time, Zuo Feng did not dare to glide hard again. The result of the last fast gliding was that he fell rapidly. Although the speed was beyond his imagination, the damage caused to himself was also beyond his expectation.

And at that time, his life was almost out of his control. He could only leave it to fate. Zuo Feng didn't believe that he could be lucky enough to encounter a pool of water this time to let himself survive.

Carefully controlling the speed, Zuo Feng focused his attention on the front. He didn't dare to rush around here. This place should be very familiar to the people behind. What he can control now is the direction. Once he loses his way, it will be more disadvantageous to him.

Those flames rushed out of the city gate quickly, and it can be vaguely judged that there are about 20 people. The distance is too far to distinguish the cultivation of these people.

After these people rushed out of the city gate, they did not come in a straight line, but seemed to have made a big circle and approached from the side.

Zuo Feng didn't quite understand it at first, but after his eyes swept through the dark below, he immediately reacted. Originally, Zuo Feng planned to go forward, but now he slowly adjusted his direction and turned slightly to one side.

Originally, Zuo Feng did not notice that the place where he came out was surrounded by a large forest. Although the trees were not tall, they were extremely dense. It would be difficult to walk in such a forest, let alone a large group of people who wanted to ride through it on horseback.

Those who rushed out of the city gate took the mainland outside the city, intending to outflank from the front and bypass this large jungle. Zuo Feng saw the general scope of the jungle, so he also adjusted himself and did not give the other party any chance.

In fact, although Zuo Feng was depressed, he was not panicked at all. At least he still had the advantage now. His gliding speed in the air was much faster than the horses' foot strength, so he did not have to worry about being caught up for the time being.

The problem was how to maintain his advantage now and prevent the other party from catching up with him. The enemy seemed to have identified him. Not long after the lighting flames in the city disappeared, another flame bomb rose into the air from the group of horses and exploded on the side of Zuo Feng, and then everything around was lit up again.

Zuo Feng sighed inwardly, unbuttoned the outermost layer of clothes, and spread them out like two wings to both sides. Doing so would directly affect the speed of gliding, but he had to do so.

After all, the current situation was very bad, and he was completely exposed to the enemy. If they saw him gliding in the air, and later found out that his cultivation was only at the Tempering Stage, he would be in even greater trouble.

After all, it was a fact that a Qi Refining Stage warrior could fly in the air for a short period of time. This was a fact that everyone knew. He could fly in the air, and his cultivation was only at the Tempering Stage, so he could only use other methods.

When he spread his clothes like this, he looked like a big bird, and people would not know how he flew.

Moreover, Zuo Feng did not want the other party to associate flying in the air with the Swift Wind Liquid he had refined, so he glided forward in this way as a last resort.

The people and horses who were chasing him also noticed the strange way Zuo Feng flew, and more importantly, the direction Zuo Feng adjusted. Those people and horses seemed to have received some orders, and after slowly increasing their speed, they continued to rush forward from the side.

At this moment, the two sides were moving forward in parallel. Zuo Feng was always a little faster. If he continued like this, he could leave the people behind him behind. However, the distance he could glide after jumping off the city wall was still very limited. He could only fly more than ten miles with all his strength.

This was because the terrain outside the city was slowly going down. If there was a high slope outside the city, he would have landed long ago.

However, Zuo Feng was not worried about this situation, because most cities would be built in higher places, which would be more advantageous for the defenders. This Jiabao City was no exception. It was naturally built in the highest place within a dozen miles of this place.

At present, Zuo Feng no longer had the Swift Wind Liquid on him, and even if he had it, he would not dare to take it easily. Because he was gliding all the way down, the enemy could still accept it. If he took the Swift Wind Liquid and flew again, it would probably be equivalent to telling others that he had other means.

This kind of means is definitely not seen everywhere. Combined with what happened around, I believe that the news of refining the Swift Wind Liquid in Linshan County City has already spread to these places around. The possibility of exposing his identity was very high, so even if he had the Swift Wind Liquid, he didn't dare to use it now.

Helplessly falling downward, Zuo Feng still chose to land in a place with dense forests, so that even if the enemy wanted to chase him, they would never be able to take advantage of the horse.

Because the speed was not too fast this time, Zuo Feng easily dodged the trees in front and landed steadily on the ground. For him, this kind of flight would not consume too much energy, and Zuo Feng was still in excellent physical condition.

Looking ahead, Zuo Feng rushed forward without hesitation. Long before falling, he had already observed the surrounding environment. On the right was the avenue out of the city, and the enemy would come here by the power of the horse. He remembered that if he wanted to catch him, he had to dismount and rush here, and in front was a small mountain range, so he could compete with the people behind him.

On the right was the avenue where the enemy was chasing. If he deviated too much to the left, he would be farther and farther away from the imperial capital. In this case, Zuo Feng could only try his best to avoid the pursuit while heading north.

Fortunately, the environment in the forest is very suitable for him. Zuo Feng escaped all the way and easily shuttled through the dense forest. In this environment, he could easily relax himself as much as possible, just like returning to his home.

At this time, the sky finally turned from dark to bright, and the best time to escape was also quietly passing at this time. Because of what happened last night, it seemed that people in the city also went to the streets earlier. Some people wanted to see what happened. More people planned to leave here early. Everyone understood the truth that "you can't stay in a place of trouble for a long time."

In a large group of people rushing towards the city gate, some inconspicuous grandparents and grandchildren were also sandwiched in the crowded crowd. The old man looked a little sick, and the grandson looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He was unusually delicate, with a pair of watery eyes looking around vigilantly.

It can be seen that when they were inspected by the city guards, they seemed more nervous than others.
