Chapter 77 The Escapers
The explosion came very suddenly.
Guo Ming immediately looked forward and saw thick smoke rising from the road in the distance.
The horned beast also became agitated and restless because of the explosion.
"What's going on!" Guo Ming asked in a serious tone.
A soldier stumbled up to Guo Ming and said:
"Mr. Guo, there seems to be a trap on the road ahead. It will explode if our people get close."
Guo Ming frowned, and he flashed to the front of the army.
Sure enough, there were many potholes on the road not far ahead left by the explosion.
There were many bodies of soldiers lying on the ground.
The group of soldiers didn't dare to move forward.
"Send someone to clear out the traps here. I'll go after those people first!"
Guo Ming then circulated his internal energy to allow himself to fly in the air for a short period of time, and then he quickly rushed in the direction where Mo Yuandao and the others had left.
Of course he couldn't waste time here.
Those warriors must be dealt with, otherwise it will be very troublesome to find them one by one.
In the dense forest, Wang Hu was fleeing with a group of Xingfeng Sect warriors.
He had just seen a figure flying in the air through the sniper rifle scope.
That kind of speed is simply not something an innate warrior can achieve. He is most likely a master of the transformation realm!
Facing a strong man of this level, even if he had a sniper rifle, he would not have the slightest confidence to fight back.
The Grandmaster of the Transformation Realm has already merged his internal energy and body into one.
Both speed and strength are far beyond those of innate masters.
He also didn't think a sniper rifle could kill the other person.
"Elder, where are we going now?" asked a warrior from the Xingfeng Sect.
Wang Hu looked to the left and right of the road. One side led to Liuyang Town, and the other side was Xingfeng Gate.
"We can't bring the Ningguo army into the gate, let's go to Liuyang Town first!"
Wang Hu made a choice. If he led this powerful person in the state of transformation and the Ningguo army to the Xingfeng Gate, the Xingfeng Gate would be in trouble.
On the other side, Mo Yuandao was also fleeing with a group of warriors.
Mo Yuandao's face looked extremely ugly at this moment.
Because there were so many warriors around him, the powerful aura behind him had already locked onto them and was obviously coming towards them.
"Damn it!" Mo Yuandao cursed.
He knew that he had to leave these warriors behind, otherwise he would definitely die when the people behind him caught up with him!
Mo Yuandao immediately circulated the internal energy to increase his speed to the extreme, and then he left the team alone.
Seeing Mo Yuandao escaping alone, all the warriors in Liuyang Town changed their expressions.
They don't have Mo Yuandao's middle-stage innate cultivation, so it's impossible for them to catch up.
When the other warriors in the early stage of the innate realm saw Mo Yuandao running away, they also wanted to escape.
But at this time, a figure had already blocked their way, and that person was Guo Ming.
Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Guo Ming, the warriors in Liuyang Town all showed expressions of fear.
Guo Ming sneered:
"You are just a bunch of ants. It would be better for you to die sooner instead of wasting time!"
After saying this, he flashed and rushed into the crowd like a ghost.
Guo Ming's movements were as swift as the wind, and warriors below the innate level could only catch a glimpse of his afterimage.
Whenever his fists and feet, which were filled with the inner energy, came into contact with these warriors, there would be shrill screams.
The terrifying thing about the masters of the realm of transformation is that they have perfectly integrated their internal energy with their bodies. Every inch of their skin and every bone contains powerful strength.
Killing a warrior below the Xiantian level is no different from killing a chicken.
Guo Ming is a priest of the Ningguo royal family. He has been in the realm of transformation for ten years, so it is natural for him to kill these low-level warriors.
Ten minutes later, the ground was in a mess, with countless corpses lying in disorder.
Although some warriors had escaped, almost all of the innate warriors were killed by him.
Guo Ming grabbed a Xiantian warrior who was not yet dead and asked coldly:
"Tell me, what were those traps on the road before?".
Liuyang Town, the gates of Liuyang Town are closed at this moment.
The three major families have received the news that their ambush has failed. In the lobby of the Mo family, the head of the Wang family looked at Mo Chen and asked:
"Hasn't there been any news from the royal family yet?"
At this moment, the head of the Wang family was pacing back and forth in the lobby, full of anxiety.
Naturally, other people had no worries about evacuating Liuyang Town.
But if a big family like his leaves Liuyang Town, the loss will be too great, as their family’s businesses are basically all in Liuyang Town.
Mo Chen frowned and shook his head: "No."
"Then what should we do now?" asked the head of the Wang family anxiously.
Mo Chen said: "We can only guard on the city wall."
The head of the Wei family shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Defend? Our Liuyang Town is just a small town, and the city wall is only two meters high. How can we defend it!"
Liuyang Town has almost never experienced war.
In the past, other countries that invaded would never choose to enter through Liuyang Town.
Because there are mountains nearby, marching is extremely difficult.
But this time, Ningguo's 100,000-strong army chose to enter from their side, contrary to their usual practice. This had never happened before.
This also led to Liuyang Town's failure to make preparations in advance.
"If we don't defend it, will we give up? Can you and my people evacuate within one day?" Mo Chen asked back.
Just then, a warrior from the Mo family walked in from outside the lobby.
"Master, Elder Wang Hu of Xingfeng Sect has returned with his men."
Hearing this, Mo Chen immediately said, "Please ask Elder Wang Hu to come over!"
If the Xingfeng Sect takes action, perhaps Liuyang Town can really be defended as long as it can hold out until the Yue army arrives to provide support.
He had seen the hidden weapons used by the Xingfeng Sect warriors before.
Soon, Wang Hu walked into the lobby with several warriors from the Xingfeng Sect.
Mo Chen immediately went to meet him.
"Elder Wang Hu, what's the situation ahead?"
Mo Chen only received the news that the ambush failed and did not know the specific circumstances.
Wang Hu said in a deep voice:
"The Ningguo army seems to have known the location of our ambush long ago. The warriors ambushing on the east side of the road should have been gone."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
None of them expected the news to be leaked.
But how is this possible?
The only ones who knew the ambush route were them and the royal family.
They did not inform the other warriors in advance as they were afraid that the news would leak out.
At this time, the head of the Wang family questioned:
"Why didn't you go and rescue my people?"
At this moment, the faces of the heads of the Wang family and the Wei family were extremely ugly.
The warriors on the east are all from their family.
If it is true as Wang Hu said, then all the warriors in their family may have died.
Wang Hu glanced at the head of the Wang family coldly: "Why should I save someone from your family?"
Wang Hu would not give any good face to the head of the Wang family, no matter how powerful the other party was.
Although he is only in the early stage of innateness, he is enough to fight against the opponent with the sniper rifle in his hand.
"You!" The head of the Wang family didn't expect Liu Qian to be so disrespectful.
Mo Chen advised at this time:
"Okay, now is not the time to argue, let's discuss what to do now!"
Wang Hu said, "Master Mo, I am here to say goodbye this time."
Wang Hu returned to Liuyang Town just to avoid that powerful person in the state of transformation.
Hearing that Wang Hu was leaving, Mo Chen's face changed and he said:
"Elder Wang Hu, if you leave the Xingfeng Sect, how can we resist the Ningguo army!"
