Fang Ziyu quickly retreated with Xu Aotian. The pursuers rushed into the valley in an instant, and their shouts were deafening.
Right at this moment, a large number of rocks suddenly fell from the sky. The pursuers cried for their parents and desperately tried to squeeze out. The valley was once again in chaos. For a moment, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and blood rain filled the sky. The scene was very tragic.
Du Yuan was greatly shocked. Only now did he remember that Li Feng and the others had yet to come out. In an instant, his face turned pale.
Fang Ziyu dragged Xu Aotian to the side of Li Feng and the others. Xu Aotian immediately meditated to recover his strength. Fang Ziyu turned around and spat out a mouthful of blood. Luckily, he was covered in blood, so no one would know if he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Li Feng walked to Fang Ziyu's side and looked at Xu Aotian, who was resting with his eyes closed, with a complicated expression. He said softly,"Brother Fang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you two brothers, we wouldn't know what to do.”
Fang Ziyu glanced at Li Feng and said indifferently,"If you want to thank someone, thank him." After saying that, he ignored Li Feng's reaction and sat down to regulate his true energy.
Although Fang Ziyu's cultivation was much higher than Xu Aotian's, he had not recovered from the injury he suffered when he fought with the old Taoist priest. Now, after a bloody battle, he had to bear most of the pressure for Xu Aotian. It could be said that Fang Ziyu was not much better than Xu Aotian at the moment. In fact, his internal injuries were even more serious than Xu Aotian's. However, he was stubborn and didn't want to tell Xu Aotian about this matter.
Li Feng sighed and returned to the shore. The battle was coming to an end. Most of the pursuers had escaped the valley, but there were still a small number of people in the valley.
Rocks were thrown down continuously. Finally, after the last pursuer in the valley was killed, everyone could not help but cheer loudly. Some villagers even hugged each other's heads and cried loudly to show the joy in their hearts after escaping to heaven.
Other than Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu who were meditating and not paying attention to anything else, Li Feng was the only one who didn't have a happy expression. On the contrary, Li Feng was frowning.
Li Feng lowered his head to look at the corner of his clothes that was fluttering in the wind, then turned around to look into the valley. "Take two people in and check if there's food and a way out."”
The soldier nodded and called for his two companions to go deeper into the valley. Li Feng stayed behind and called everyone to continue moving the stones. If they could move more stones at this time, they would have more capital to save their lives.
Du Yuan, who was outside the valley, was filled with anger and could not vent it. In this battle, the Sui army had sent 793 people, 368 of whom had died in battle and 227 of whom had been injured. Among them, more than 200 had lost their ability to fight. In other words, there were only about 200 people left in the Sui army who could still fight, and 100 of them were cavalrymen who had not yet joined the battle. And in this battle, the other party actually did not have a single casualty. If this kind of thing were to spread, where would Du Yuan put his face? Du Yuan gnashed his teeth in hatred, but he knew that he could not afford to suffer any more losses at this time. Otherwise, it was still uncertain who would be the one chasing after who.
Du Yuan immediately ordered all the cavalrymen to form a fan-shaped formation to surround the entrance of the valley. The rest of them set up camp to rest and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The sky was already slightly bright. At this time, the three soldiers who had gone to check the valley had already returned and were reporting the situation in the valley to Li Feng.
"Leader Li, there is a forest in the depths. We circled around the forest and realized that there was a cliff behind us. There was no way out.”
There was a small commotion among the villagers when they heard this. Li Feng shouted,"Don't quarrel!"
After the villagers calmed down, Li Feng asked again,""Is there food and water?"
The soldier nodded." Yes, there are many fruits and animals in the forest. We also found a mountain spring with plenty of water."”
Li Feng nodded, turned around and called out,"Does anyone know how to hunt?"”
More than ten villagers came out. One of them said,"We are hunters in the village."
Li Feng said with satisfaction," That's good. You guys go to the forest and hunt some prey to feed everyone." A few women went in to get some fruits and water. The rest of the people were divided into three groups and took turns to guard.”
Just like that, the two sides fell into a stalemate.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night. Xu Aotian finally woke up from his meditation. After taking a deep breath, he opened his eyes.
"Brother Xu, you're awake." Li Feng walked closer and handed Aotian Xu a roasted pheasant.
Xu Aotian took the roasted pheasant and smiled.”
Li Feng smiled and sat down beside Xu Aotian,"It will be even more tiring from now on."
"What happened?" Xu Aotian asked.”
Li Feng frowned and sighed,"There are pursuers in front, and there is no way out."”
"This is Death Valley?" Xu Aotian asked in shock.”
Li Feng nodded." There's a cliff behind us. Fortunately, there's a forest. There's enough food and water to last us for a while."”
Xu Aotian looked at the roasted pheasant in his hand and said,"A protracted war is not a solution."
Li Feng rested his head on his hand and leaned against the grass. He said,"I also know that if this continues, our morale will be greatly reduced, but we can't think of a way to repel the pursuers. If we don't beat them back, even if we break out of the encirclement, they will catch up to us sooner or later.”
After a moment of silence, Li Feng said,""Fortunately, the wind is blowing from the southeast. If it was from the northwest, we would be in trouble.”
"Are you saying that they will start a fire and smoke it out?" Xu Aotian asked in a deep voice.”
"If it's really a northwest wind, the possibility is extremely high." Du Yuan had suffered a great loss this time, and they would definitely not let this matter rest. Reinforcements would arrive at any time, and when that time came, there would be a bitter battle.”
Xu Aotian shook his head and said nothing.
At this moment, a villager on sentry duty ran up to the two of them and said,"Two warriors, there is a large group of people coming towards us.”
Li Feng and Xu Aotian looked at each other, then shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
Li Feng and Xu Aotian walked to the edge of the cliff and looked at the dust flying in the distance under the light of the setting sun.
"There might be more than 2,000 people," Li Feng said in a deep voice.”
Xu Aotian rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly,""Just for the sake of a few people like us, is there a need?”
"Du Yuan is a very scheming person. He will spare no effort to kill any talent that he can't use. The battle between the two of you in the valley yesterday has already made Du Yuan feel fear. That's why he sent such a large army to encircle and annihilate us.”
"How are we going to fight a few thousand people?" Xu Aotian asked gloomily.”
Li Feng shook his head and said nothing.
"Why didn't you ambush their commander?”
When Xu Aotian and Li Feng heard the voice, they realized that Fang Ziyu was already standing beside them. Li Feng couldn't help but think,"This kid's power seems to be even more profound than Xu Aotian's."
Xu Aotian did not have as many thoughts as Li Feng. He asked with concern,"Ziyu, are you alright?"
Fang Ziyu shook his head and said,"My power has recovered."”
Xu Aotian pointed below and smiled bitterly,"We might have another big battle in a while."”
"Why didn't you consider my suggestion?" Fang Ziyu frowned.”
"Assassinate their commander?" "It's easier said than done to kill a general among thousands of people." Xu Aotian shook his head.”
"We'll sneak in and assassinate them at night," Fang Ziyu said coldly.”
"No." Li Feng shook his head and said," This is too dangerous. If we get surrounded, we'll only die."”
Xu Aotian did not say anything. He lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying,"Ziyu is right. This is the only way for us to survive.”
"But…" Li Feng said anxiously.
"Brother Li, don't worry. Ziyu and I should be able to protect ourselves." Xu Aotian interrupted.”
Li Feng had already seen the abilities of Xu Aotian and Fang Ziyu. His eyes flickered when he heard this. After a long time, he sighed and said,"Alright, be careful. After the assassination is successful, I'll immediately bring people to help you.”
The three of them discussed the countermeasures for the assassination. In fact, only Li Feng and Xu Aotian were discussing. Fang Ziyu only listened to their argument. He looked coldly at the Sui Army below, and endless killing intent surged out of his eyes.
