Chapter 51: Capture the Leader First

The first enemy that came into view was a person completely wrapped in leaves, with only two eyes exposed. These eyes were cold and calm, showing no emotion.

Just by looking at these eyes, one could tell that this person was surely a seasoned warrior who had survived countless battles! Such a person had only one creed in life: kill the enemy and complete the mission!

On the ground in front of him, a large crossbow was already set up. Ten black, shiny arrows were already installed, ready to be fired at any moment!

Chu Yang carefully held his breath and slowly advanced. Now, his body was already among the treetops, like a silent ghost, moving eerily under the dense foliage.

From a high vantage point, he surveyed the surroundings. Nearby, there were countless gleaming arrow tips, with at least fifty to sixty people hidden around!

This was clearly a premeditated ambush! How did the enemies know that this group would rest here? And how did they manage to set up the crossbows in advance?

Looking at the positions of the enemies, Chu Yang's brows furrowed. Their positions were too precise!

Each enemy's hiding spot was within the line of sight of at least three others. This way, they could support each other, ensuring no failure. If discovered, they could provide maximum support!

This was the formation that only the most elite soldiers in the army could achieve! If one wanted to attack any of them, they would inevitably be discovered by at least one of the other three!

Because, although their hiding spots were absolutely secret, there were no blind spots for their own people! To silently eliminate such a team, there was no other way except through a traitor!

In the center, behind a small bush, a vague figure lay motionless. It looked no different from the others, but Chu Yang immediately recognized that this person was the most important figure.

Because his position allowed at least ten of his companions to see him simultaneously! Others could be seen by at most five people. Moreover, his position was central, placing him under the cross-protection of his own people!

Next to him, hidden by the branches, was a massive bed crossbow! A siege crossbow.

At this moment, the voices of Old Gao and the eight people outside the dense forest were clearly heard. "Now, take Du Shiqing back, and we won't pursue you." This sentence made Chu Yang's heart stir, and he had a rough idea of where these people came from.

These people had siege crossbows and strict discipline, indicating a military background!

Chu Yang's body moved like a ghost, silently approaching this person. Suddenly, he kicked off with both feet, leaping from the treetop like a lightning bolt, like an eagle swooping down, his fingers like hooks, fiercely grabbing out!

Just as he was less than ten feet away from this person, suddenly, an arrow shot towards Chu Yang. With this arrow, it seemed to be a signal, and at least thirty to forty arrows flew from all directions, whistling through the air.

But apart from the first arrow, which was threatening, the other arrows were clearly a step too late.

Chu Yang leaned back, the arrow tip grazing his nose, and his hands remained in the same position, grabbing down.

Just by looking at the enemy's position, Chu Yang immediately changed his mind and took the initiative to attack. As long as this team discovered him, he could use his speed to disrupt their rhythm and break their precise coordination!

What he was doing now was not to kill the enemy, but to first disrupt their deployment!

Moreover, this person had the highest probability of being important. If he could capture him, it might dismantle this ambush!

To capture this person, he only had one chance to strike!

This person immediately noticed him, his eyes flashing, though surprised but not panicked. He roared and nimbly jumped up. Before he was fully up, the crossbow in his hand had already changed direction, and ten arrows shot out in unison towards Chu Yang. Then, a blade of light flashed, fiercely slashing towards Chu Yang's neck.

Chu Yang's body swayed, dodging the arrows; his extended right hand flicked, passing through the blade of light, and without changing the form, transformed into a palm, striking the back of the man's head. The movement was incredibly fast.

The man's eyes were wide with intense disbelief as he fell like a wooden stake.

Although this man's reaction was quick, Chu Yang was in a high position, directly falling vertically from the sky. He was originally lying down, and suddenly changing his posture to face the enemy, he was caught off guard. Moreover, Chu Yang's attack was like a sudden thunderbolt, so sudden that he had no time to resist!

Without waiting for him to fully fall, Chu Yang's right hand hooked, already grabbing his collar, lifting him up. Then, his feet, which had just landed, stomped hard, springing up. Dozens of crossbow arrows nailed the spot where his body had just landed!

As Chu Yang's body leaped up, his feet kicked hard against the tree, making a "pu" sound. The tree shook violently, and leaves rained down. Chu Yang's body shot out like an arrow.

The man's body, weighing nearly two hundred pounds, felt as light as a feather in his hands, not affecting his swift movements at all.

Arrows rained down from all directions, but Chu Yang didn't look at their trajectories, only swaying his body to dodge. The black clothes on his chest and back were shredded by the arrows, but his skin remained unscathed.

Clearly, an arrow seemed to have pierced through his body, but in the next moment, the arrow had already flown through his clothes, and Chu Yang's momentum did not slow down, but rather increased!

These people were clearly wary of the person Chu Yang was carrying. Every arrow they shot tried to avoid him. This无形中 gave Chu Yang a great advantage and made him even more determined!

This person's identity was definitely not simple!

Chu Yang's feet continuously kicked against the trees, his body darting through the dense forest, moving as fast as lightning. The arrows mostly nailed into the trees, making "whoosh" sounds.

In just a few breaths, the afterimages left behind by Chu Yang's movements were still faintly visible, but he was already about to break out of the dense forest!

A loud roar came from ahead, and three or four people leaped out, swinging their knives fiercely to block Chu Yang's path.

Chu Yang's eyes flashed, and suddenly, he kicked off with both feet, changing his straight path to a vertical ascent, leaping three zhang high, already above these people. His feet stomped hard on the tree trunk behind him, making the tree shake violently. Chu Yang, carrying the man, flew out like a meteor!

Exiting the dense forest, he entered the open field.

The people lying in ambush around could no longer hold back, revealing themselves and chasing from all directions. Behind the black masks, everyone's eyes had lost their calm and were filled with anxiety.

They had originally planned to wait for the eight experts to rush out, drawing the majority of the enemy's forces, and then immediately surge out, taking advantage of the chaos to kill Du Shiqing, and then scatter.

Unexpectedly, a reckless young man suddenly rushed in, and with his first move, he went straight for the vital point, capturing the commander. This completely disrupted their plan!

Everyone was furious, but also extremely puzzled: with so many people here, how could this young man be so accurate? How did he manage to capture the most important person with his first move? Could he predict the future?

What the hell is going on?
