Chapter 971: Chapter 974: Ahead Lies a Cliff
In the distance, Chu Yuxiao, clad in silver armor, squinted his eyes, watching the scattered dozen or so small black dots, raised his hand and ordered, "Split up, make sure to capture them all!"
"Yes!" The army neatly split apart, pursuing in different directions.
Su Yan rolled her eyes; she didn’t expect the dimwit Cang Mo to have a smart moment. By splitting up, not only did it confuse the opponent’s attention, but it also dispersed their forces, making it easier to resist.
If he had encountered just a few small soldiers, he might have taken them down in two or three moves.
She really hoped Chu Yuxiao would come, and more so that he could catch up with Cang Mo...
Cang Mo’s horse ran into the forest, successfully shaking off the army behind them, but he didn’t dare to be careless, maintaining his speed all along.
He didn’t know how long he had run before leaving the forest. In front were uneven hills and scattered shrubs.
Su Yan was being jolted on the horse, feeling dizzy and disoriented, just hoping he would stop.
Just as she closed her eyes, feeling muddled, the mount beneath her suddenly reared up high, letting out a loud, high-pitched neigh.
Su Yan was startled awake, opening her eyes to see a towering cliff. At that moment, she was so frightened that her mind went blank, and her heart trembled violently.
Luckily, Cang Mo pulled the reins in time to prevent both horse and people from falling off.
After taking two steps back, Su Yan immediately responded, angrily shouting, "What are you doing! Are you trying to die! Watch where you’re riding; if you want to die, go yourself. I won’t accompany you!"
"Shut up!" Cang Mo glared at her with an ugly expression. In fact, he was still shaken; although he had been running at full speed, his mind had wandered elsewhere.
So he hadn’t noticed the cliff ahead.
Damn it, how did they end up in a place like this? Cang Mo looked around and was about to find another direction when he heard the approaching sound of hooves.
His expression changed slightly; they were caught up with!
Su Yan was overjoyed; while Cang Mo was stunned, her wrist slipped out of his grip, and with her other elbow, she struck his chest, skillfully flipping off to the ground.
Not yet steadying herself, she ran forward without looking back. Suddenly, a sharp sound of something cutting through the air came from behind. Her heart tightened, and she quickly ducked; a gleaming sword fell straight in front of her, sticking into the ground.
She paused for a moment, and in that instant, Cang Mo had already closed in on her, his hand reaching out to choke her neck.
