Chapter 120 Pursuit

There was a mysterious aura emanating from the other party, as if he had merged with the heaven and earth, which was chilling. Even the barbarian warriors who were originally near him were slowly moving away from him with a look of fear and fanaticism on their faces.

Gu Yunzhou took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner tension. He knew that now was not the time to panic. He had to calm down and find a way to deal with the crisis.

Master Jia said solemnly, "We've made such a big noise, the border patrol will be here soon. We have to hold them back now. Yun Zhou, you can act accordingly!"

He looked back, his expression growing heavier. However, at this moment, they had to stop, because just a few steps ahead of them was a turbulent river.

They did not flee without any clue, but deliberately avoided the route taken by the previous civilians, and had no choice but to choose another road.

"Roar!" A roar, not quite human, echoed from not far behind, followed by several shrill screams. Everyone's heart trembled. Undoubtedly, these were the sounds of the surviving barbarian warriors. It sounded like they had already been dispatched by the divinely descended barbarian leader.

"Isn't this Barbarian God a god worshipped by the barbarians? He doesn't seem to be that powerful either. The first ones to be dealt with are the barbarian warriors!"

Gu Yunzhou said sarcastically that it was ironic that the few surviving barbarian warriors were not killed by them, but died at the hands of the gods they believed in.

"They are an uncivilized and barbaric tribe. They will believe in whoever can provide them with strength. They don't have any ethics or morals. How noble can the gods they worship be!" Master Jia said disdainfully, and casually attached his literary energy to his feet, then called on Gu Yunzhou to cross the river quickly.

Gu Yunzhou followed suit and quickly extracted the literary energy evenly and attached it to the soles of his feet. It must be said that literary energy is really useful in this world. When his feet with literary energy attached stepped into the water, only a slight ripple was caused, and the person actually stayed steadily above the water.

"Hurry up! Those barbarian warriors won't be here for long. Let's cross the river as soon as possible!" Uncle Cai urged them anxiously. Without further delay, they all sped up, gliding across the water like swallows.

The feeling of walking on water was quite novel, but Gu Yunzhou had no time to fully appreciate it, as he knew time was running out and he had to race against time. The bloody aura rising from behind him gradually approached. It was the barbarian leader who had been reborn after the gods descended. He had already dealt with the barbarian warriors and was chasing after him.

"It came so quickly! It looks like this little barbarian leader has plenty of energy and blood. This divine descent can last for a while!"

The bloody aura rising into the sky was not only seen by Gu Yunzhou, but also noticed by Uncle Cai and the others. Their faces became increasingly heavy. They knew they would soon reach the border, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

"Speed ​​up..." Uncle Cai hadn't finished his words when a ripple suddenly appeared on the calm river surface. Then several black shadows jumped out from under the water. A few cold lights flashed, and several masked men in black rushed towards the crowd with sharp weapons in their hands.

One of the men in black rushed towards Uncle Cai at an extremely fast speed, his palm transformed into an eagle claw, and went straight for Uncle Cai's face. At the same time, Gu Yunzhou, Master Jia and others were also attacked in the same way. These men in black hiding underwater took advantage of their unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack at the same time.

Master Jia and his companions were indeed veterans who had been carrying out missions at the border for many years. Although the incident happened suddenly, they were still able to rely on their years of accumulated combat experience and keen reaction ability to narrowly avoid the first round of attacks from the men in black.

However, Gu Yunzhou, lacking combat experience, was caught off guard by the sudden attack. Although he reacted quickly, he was still hit by a man in black. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body flew backwards and then plunged into the water.

Gu Yunzhou felt a sharp pain throughout his body, as if struck by a heavy hammer. Then, his vision suddenly plunged into darkness. Then, the surging river water rushed frantically into his mouth and nose, causing his breathing to momentarily stagnate. However, he ignored the pain and quickly circulated his spiritual energy, wrapping his head tightly. Only then did he feel a slight relief.

But before he could fully survey his surroundings, the violent vibrations of water waves not far away immediately alerted him. He hurriedly channeled his spiritual energy, erecting a solid protective shield. At that moment, a series of uninterrupted, ferocious attacks followed.

A man in black, holding a sharp dagger and a cold, ruthless look, attacked Gu Yunzhou's vital points repeatedly. The pale cyan protective shield swayed incessantly in the water, and Gu Yunzhou's inner spiritual energy was rapidly depleting. If this continued, the situation would become dire. Passively enduring the opponent's attacks was definitely not in line with Gu Yunzhou's usual style.

"Plant more flowers in front of the court! Go!" Veins bulged on Gu Yunzhou's forehead, and beads of sweat streamed down his cheeks. His face was as pale as paper, but his eyes were remarkably determined. He gritted his teeth, struggling to control the spiritual energy within him, trying to multitask.

On the one hand, he tried his best to maintain the fragile protective shield and prevent it from dissipating; on the other hand, he concentrated his mind, summoned the peach blossoms that concealed deadly murderous intent, and controlled them like an arrow from a bow, rushing towards the man in black.

The man in black stood there, motionless, his eyes full of disdain and contempt. He seemed to take Gu Yunzhou's attack completely unnoticed, as if these peach blossoms were nothing more than a child's play.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. Then, he slowly extended a hand and waved it gently. With his movement, a powerful force gushed out from his hand, stirring the surrounding water and forming a surging wave. With the force of a tidal wave, this wave pushed the peach blossoms that were about to gather in another direction, pushing them away fiercely.

However, just as the smile on his face had not yet completely disappeared, the flower that was supposed to float downstream unexpectedly did not move away, but instead moved closer and closer to him.

"Interesting!" the man in black said in a hoarse voice, his voice blurry and distorted in the water. At the same time, a cruel smile appeared on his face, and with this smile, a swirling and gradually expanding vortex began to slowly approach Gu Yunzhou.
