Chapter 83

A wooden stake pierced through one end of the carriage and exited from the other, creating two holes as large as a tabletop.

Such a sudden and loud noise would have startled any ordinary horse, but the two dragon mules pulling the carriage were merely startled for a moment before becoming agitated and looking around.

"Sir!!" One of the White Wolf Riders, panic-stricken, shouted and charged towards the carriage, simultaneously giving the order, "Charge through!"

By this time, Bu Ye had already leaped back onto Hongyun and turned to run.

Nineteen White Wolf Riders spurred their dragon mules out of the official road and charged towards the small forest, instantly reaching their top speed and naturally forming a formation.

Even with only starlight, Awakened individuals with Heart Cloud Ten Stars or higher strength had a nighttime vision of at least ten to twenty meters. Thus, the nineteen White Wolf Riders charged into the small forest without reducing their speed, and some had already drawn their bows from their backs.

Hongyun's night vision was not much better than that of the dragon mules, and at this moment, it also did not dare to run at full speed, mostly following Bu Ye's commands.

"Whoosh!"

While they were running, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from behind them.

Bu Ye was startled, completely not expecting the White Wolf Riders to be able to shoot arrows in such a situation.

"Thud!!"

Bu Ye didn't have time to dodge, but the arrow also missed its target by a wide margin, lodging into a tree.

"Rumble..."

Hongyun let out a slightly agitated snort and slightly increased its speed. Bu Ye understood its meaning: it wanted to run at full speed.

However, it wasn't the right time yet.

He believed that the White Wolf Riders must have known who he was and why he had suddenly attacked. They wanted to catch him during the night and in the forest, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to shake them off.

About five minutes later, Bu Ye and Hongyun finally emerged from the other side of the small forest. The White Wolf Riders were still about thirty to forty meters behind them and were about to exit the forest.

Bu Ye gently pulled the reins, and Hongyun immediately changed direction, veering to the right.

Outside the forest was a plain, and Hongyun's speed was even faster. When the nineteen White Wolf Riders emerged from the forest, Hongyun was already ahead of the rightmost rider, while the leftmost riders were far behind.

Hongyun didn't stop, showing no signs of engaging the White Wolf Riders in a direct confrontation, and continued to charge to the right.

At this point, Bu Ye and Hongyun had already left the rightmost White Wolf Rider about ten meters behind.

"Whoosh!!"

A sharp whistle sounded, and an arrow flew towards them! At such a close distance, there was almost no way it could miss.

On the horse, Bu Ye had been looking back the whole time. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes and swiftly swung his right hand, slashing the Moonzi sword horizontally.

His Heart Cloud Blood Star and Third Constellation were always activated, so his speed was not a problem at this moment.

"Clang!!"

"Swish!"

Bu Ye used a trick; the sword was swung horizontally, making it easier to hit the arrow, and he deflected it mid-air.

"Whoosh!!"

"Whoosh!!"

"Whoosh!!!"

Two more White Wolf Riders behind them had also adjusted their angles, chasing and shooting arrows. They all had Heart Cloud Ten Stars or higher strength, and their bows were specially made, shooting at Bu Ye and Hongyun simultaneously, putting immense pressure on Bu Ye.

However, the four-foot-long Moonzi sword in Bu Ye's hand had a large defensive range, and even arrows aimed at Hongyun's legs could be blocked by him.

Bu Ye was fully focused, blocking several arrows in succession, and Hongyun and the White Wolf Riders widened the distance again.

"Go!"

At Bu Ye's command, Hongyun let out a joyful neigh and suddenly changed direction, accelerating!

Hongyun charged back into the forest!

Hongyun's speed was getting faster. About ten meters from the forest, its body slightly crouched, and then it leaped suddenly!

"Whoosh!"

Bu Ye had already lowered his body, trying to stay as close to the horse's back as possible, but the wind still roared in his ears, giving him a feeling of flying through the clouds.

"Swish!!"

The rustling of branches suddenly sounded, and at the same moment, Hongyun landed on the crown of a four-meter-tall tree at the edge of the forest, continuing to charge without stopping, even faster.

Four small clouds appeared under its hooves, moving with the wind, making it seem as if it were on a cloud.

Hongyun then continued to charge forward above the dark forest, sometimes leaping between trees, with a graceful posture...

This was no longer like fleeing for one's life but more like a natural dance performed by Hongyun under the dark night sky, unique to this planet.

At this moment, even Bu Ye was not the main character; all he could do was lower his body to reduce wind resistance and let Hongyun maximize its speed.

It took five minutes to come, but only one minute to return!

A minute later, Hongyun had already charged back to the other side of the small forest, where only one White Wolf Rider and the damaged carriage remained.

The White Wolf Rider was standing by the broken hole in the carriage, bent over, either talking to someone inside or helping to treat a wound. As the rustling of branches grew louder, he suddenly turned around and saw Hongyun and Bu Ye charging through the leaves.

Instantly, the White Wolf Rider's body lit up with twelve stars, and he drew his bow, aiming at Bu Ye.

At this moment, Bu Ye couldn't help but sigh inwardly, wondering if everyone here was an archer.

He frowned but gave no command to Hongyun, so after leaping from the tree, Hongyun continued to charge straight at the opponent.

Forty meters, thirty meters...

"Whoosh!!"

The White Wolf Rider finally released the arrow, the sound starting soft and then growing louder, reaching Bu Ye in the blink of an eye.

Bu Ye suddenly leaned forward, dodging the arrow.

Twenty meters, ten meters!

At this distance, both Bu Ye and the White Wolf Rider were in great danger, but neither changed their strategy!

"Whoosh!!!"

Bu Ye's eyes were already narrowed, and as soon as the whistle sounded, he raised his sword and slashed.

"Clang!!"

The arrow was deflected again!

At this moment, the White Wolf Rider had no time to shoot a third arrow, but Bu Ye, using Hongyun's momentum, was less than five meters from the White Wolf Rider and could decapitate him in less than half a second!

However, at this moment, the cancer cells in Bu Ye's body suddenly erupted, issuing a strong warning!

The danger did not come from the White Wolf Rider but from the carriage behind him!

Bu Ye suddenly squeezed Hongyun's sides and jerked the reins with his left hand.

In this process, it was clearly visible that a person inside the broken hole of the carriage suddenly sat up, holding a bow!

It didn't matter that there was a person, and it didn't matter that the person held a bow, but it was a big problem when that person was Wei Xing and the bow was his Wuling Shadow Bow!

As Wei Xing raised his bow, Hongyun finally leaped from the ground, flying towards the top of the carriage.

Wei Xing quickly turned his left hand upwards, and his right hand already had an arrow on the string. His Heart Cloud Twelve Stars were activated, and a faintly glowing energy surged from his abdomen to his right arm, aiming the arrow at the top of the carriage, and he drew the string!

Release the arrow!!!

The arrow from the Wuling Shadow Bow was specially made, and with the enhancement of the treasure bow and the abdominal cloud star power, this arrow could create an illusion of space collapsing when it first flew out!

At such a close distance, the unstoppable Shadow Arrow shot out with overwhelming momentum!

"Thud!"

A light sound, and the top of the carriage was shattered like dust, the Shadow Arrow continuing its flight without slowing down.

Such an arrow could pierce through not just one cloud horse and one person, but even two pairs stacked together!

However, at this moment, Hongyun and the cloud horse were not on the roof! At least not directly above it!

In fact, both Bu Ye and Hongyun knew something was wrong. The moment they saw Wei Xing, they acted as if they were in perfect sync, reacting in a way that completely surprised Wei Xing.

Bu Ye suddenly hugged the horse's neck, and his entire body exerted a powerful upward force, lifting himself up! This was a technique that was hard to describe but easy to understand, similar to how skateboarders can make their boards jump without applying force from the bottom.

Hongyun's body, which was charging upwards and forwards, suddenly paused in mid-air. At this moment, its front hooves had already touched the edge of the carriage roof. If it followed the inertia, it would have charged straight into the center of the roof, but because of Bu Ye's upward pull, its front hooves made contact with the roof earlier, and its momentum slowed slightly.

At this moment, it first demonstrated the cloud horse's superior agility!

Its two hind hooves, which were still in the air, lost almost all the cloud, while the cloud under its front hooves suddenly became denser. Despite the great inertia and weight, its front hooves were like nails, firmly planted in place without breaking the roof!

Bu Ye's inertia continued, and when Hongyun suddenly stopped, if he hadn't been tightly hugging the horse's neck, he would have been thrown off.

At the same time, Hongyun's front hooves were firmly planted, and its rear half naturally rotated to the left, pivoting on its front hooves, and in the blink of an eye, it was on top of the carriage, aligning with the direction of the carriage's movement.

The cloud under its front hooves became less dense, and half of it returned to its hind hooves. By this point, Hongyun had almost completed a sudden stop and turn, and because it was higher than the carriage, Wei Xing inside couldn't see them.

However, it hadn't completely eliminated the inertia, and its body still tilted slightly towards the center of the carriage, and Bu Ye naturally tilted with it.

At this moment, "Thud," a small hole appeared in the center of the carriage, and the wind blew Bu Ye's hair and even Hongyun's mane, and then it was gone...

Throughout the entire process, Bu Ye never saw the arrow.

It was simply too fast, faster than his eyes could catch!

Fortunately, although they were tilting towards the center of the carriage, they were still at least two feet away.

A close call!

In the next moment, without waiting for Bu Ye's command, Hongyun's four hooves exerted force, and it leaped off the roof, landing in front of the two dragon mules pulling the carriage with a "Clack."

Bu Ye leaned back, and with a reverse slash, he stabbed the head of one of the dragon mules that was trying to bite Hongyun.

"Crack!"

The front of the carriage suddenly exploded, and Wei Xing, with a violent force, smashed through the front wall, reappearing in Bu Ye's sight.

Wei Xing's action of drawing and aiming his bow was almost simultaneous with the flying debris, and in an instant, he aimed at Bu Ye again. Out of habit from years on the battlefield, he aimed at Bu Ye's back in just 0.1 seconds.

At this moment, he was less than ten meters from Bu Ye, and with his high position, the activation of his Heart Cloud Blood Star and abdominal cloud star power, killing Bu Ye was as easy as pie!

However, he didn't see that Bu Ye had already stabbed the dragon mule. In fact, this happened at the same time he broke through the carriage, and his vision was completely blocked.

Thus, at the moment he aimed at Bu Ye's back, the injured dragon mule suddenly struggled!

Wei Xing had practiced martial arts for decades, and his horse stance was extremely solid, but this sudden movement still slightly altered his center of gravity.

Release the string!

At that moment, even he couldn't react in time, and he released the bowstring.

The Shadow Arrow flew out again!

At this moment, the debris from the broken front wall of the carriage was still flying in the air. When the Shadow Arrow flew out, its high speed immediately stirred the air, and all the nearby debris, regardless of shape or size, was sucked towards the direction of the arrow.

The Shadow Arrow continued to fly, and after passing through the debris, the curtain of debris clearly tilted in the direction it flew.

Ahead, Bu Ye was highly focused, but at the moment Wei Xing aimed at him, he had a feeling of being visited by death again.

He couldn't dodge that arrow!

It was only when the dragon mule suddenly struggled that he saw an opportunity.

So when Wei Xing released the string, Bu Ye didn't even use his sword, as the angle made it difficult to slash. Instead, he suddenly turned to the right, sideways!

Wei Xing's fundamentals were too solid, and the Shadow Arrow only deviated slightly to the left, so Bu Ye had to dodge to the right.

And in the process of dodging, Bu Ye instinctively raised his left arm.

"Whoosh!!!"

A sharp whistle sounded, and then Bu Ye felt a cool sensation under his left armpit.

When he looked down at his left armpit on the horse, he was drenched in cold sweat. The fabric of his clothes was shredded like a butterfly.

However, regardless of what happened to Bu Ye, Hongyun never stopped, even when Wei Xing shot the arrow. It continued to charge at full speed!

By the time Wei Xing jumped off the carriage and drew his third arrow, Hongyun had already carried Bu Ye more than forty meters away.

The third arrow was released!

At this moment, the tension that had been building in Bu Ye for a long time could finally be released. Prepared, he saw the trajectory of the Shadow Arrow and slashed with his sword.

"Clang!!!"

The Shadow Arrow was deflected, and Bu Ye's right hand was numbed by the impact, but he was unharmed.

Then, the man and the horse continued their charge...

Far behind, Wei Xing let out a low growl, raised his Wuling Bow, and wrapped it around the neck of the injured dragon mule, then pulled it outward.

"Swish!!!"

The large horse head fell off, and blood spurted out!

But it wasn't Hongyun's blood, nor Bu Ye's. At this moment, they were already more than a hundred meters away.

...

Wei Xing had taken on this mission voluntarily, thinking that once Bu Ye appeared, capturing him would be a sure thing.

However, Bu Ye's long-range "javelin" disrupted his plan.

After that, as events unfolded, he kept thinking that Bu Ye would definitely return, and he just needed to adapt, whether it was close combat or a long-range kill.

In the end, as he waited, his vanity and pride gradually rose. Bu Ye had escaped from his arrow once, and he still wanted to kill him.

Then it became the current situation...

Wei Xing's strength was clearly much greater than Bu Ye's, but he let Bu Ye escape twice, and his frustration was evident.

But just half a day later, it wasn't just frustration; he was shocked!

Even, somewhat afraid.

Far away, after Bu Ye and Hongyun reached a safe distance, they finally relaxed. Bu Ye smiled, and Hongyun was proud, seeking praise from Bu Ye.

After resting for about ten minutes, Bu Ye's gaze became cold again. When Wei Xing was waiting for him, he had basically achieved his goal, and he, in fact, had also achieved his goal.

He knew that someone from Muyuan would come to Wenyu Town, but he didn't know who it would be.

Even if the person in the carriage was more powerful than Wei Xing, he had to confirm it.

So, at this moment, his goal was also achieved.

Bu Ye mounted Hongyun again, looked up at the night sky that was about to be drawn away, and charged out!

They charged through the forest about a mile from where Wei Xing and his men were, then continued for three to four miles, and then joined the official road.

Wei Xing had come from this direction, and now, Bu Ye and Hongyun were charging back.

Hongyun didn't run at its fastest speed, maintaining a certain speed without overexerting itself.

Twenty minutes later, the sky in the east gradually brightened.

Forty minutes later, the night had faded from the entire land, and mist covered everywhere.

Hongyun continued to charge down the official road, looking so light. Only by seeing Bu Ye's expression and eyes could one sense the intense killing intent.

This mismatched combination continued down the official road, through the mist and the cold, moving forward...

An hour and a half later, a large city appeared at the end of the official road, somewhat familiar.

People were already on the official road, and Hongyun didn't slow down, continuing to charge through, leaving the people behind, catching up with those further ahead, and then leaving them behind...

Everyone was startled. What were this man and horse in such a hurry for?

The city gate was getting closer, and the characters on the gate tower were becoming clearer: Muyuan!

This was the eastern gate of Muyuan. At this moment, there were about ten guards at the gate, maintaining order and checking suspicious people.

From a distance, someone had already noticed Bu Ye. A guard captain cursed and stood up from his chair: "Who the hell has such nerve!"

One hundred meters, seventy meters, fifty meters...

"Stop!" A guard shouted at Bu Ye, who was still charging towards the gate.

But Bu Ye didn't stop; he even made Hongyun speed up!

Thirty meters, ten meters...

"Stop!!"

"Bold!!"

"Set up the barriers! Quickly!"

All the guards rushed to block, and some had already drawn their weapons.

A crowd gathered, and whether inside or outside the city gate, all the people stopped, watching this astonishing scene.

Five meters!

Everyone
