Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 354 Dead end

When the man in black saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, without any hesitation or pause.

He suddenly turned around, tapped the ground with his feet, and rushed towards the lying Wu Ming like a ghost, while holding the spear high in his hand, obviously wanting to take this opportunity to get rid of Wu Ming completely in one fell swoop.

Although the situation was critical at the moment, Wu Ming had no intention of retreating.

Wu Ming gritted his teeth, mentally preparing to unleash his secret technique. Although using it would leave him weakened for a month, he couldn't afford to worry about that now that it was a matter of life and death.

However, just as Wu Ming was about to risk everything to unleash his secret technique, suddenly, a resounding voice came from the city wall: "Surround these men in black and don't let any of them go!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps coming from afar, and more than ten constables in official uniforms and holding swords, as well as the same number of Baifu guards, climbed onto the top of the city wall like divine soldiers descending from the sky.

They quickly dispersed in a well-trained manner, forming a circle and trapping the men in black in the middle.

At this moment, before he finished speaking, a figure rushed over like lightning and instantly blocked Wu Ming's way. This person was none other than the renowned head constable in the county government, whose power had reached the realm of exorcism!

Everyone looked closely and saw that the captain was a burly figure with a resolute face, emitting a powerful aura. At this moment, he held a long knife in his hand and glared at the man in black, his eyes filled with majesty and determination.

In a flash, the man in black stabbed out with his spear, aiming straight at Wu Ming's vitals. However, the captain remained calm, wielding his long sword and unexpectedly blocking the fierce blow. Then, the two of them clashed again, sparks flying, and for a moment, it was difficult to determine the winner.

Seeing this, Wu Ming, who had been preparing to unleash his secret skills, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With this powerful captain leading his men to support him, the crisis today would surely be resolved.

At the same time, a commotion was heard in the distance. It turned out that the distress signal Nangong Wending had sent out earlier had worked, and the Bai Mansion's priests had also rushed to the scene. Each of these priests possessed unique skills, and their strength should not be underestimated.

The leader of the men in black saw this and his expression changed slightly. He knew that his injuries had not yet healed and if he continued to fight, he would probably have difficulty escaping.

Moreover, he held a crucial treasure in his hand, which was crucial to his future advancement to the Out-of-Body Realm. If this battle resulted in the treasure being damaged or lost, it would be a loss that outweighed the gains.

Thinking of this, the leader of the men in black made a prompt decision and decided not to fight any further.

At this moment, the originally disadvantageous battle situation underwent a dramatic change due to the timely support of everyone.

The men in black gradually lost their previous advantage, and the situation on the battlefield began to develop in favor of the Baifu masters and the county constables. They worked in perfect harmony, their moves were fierce, and they suppressed the men in black step by step.

In a corner of the battlefield, Wu Ming sat quietly, swallowing a precious healing elixir before closing his eyes and silently practicing Qigong to heal his injuries. He knew he was in no shape to fight again and that he needed to recover quickly before rejoining the battle.

At the same time, the county constables were unable to personally go into battle and kill the enemy due to their low level of cultivation.

Most of them are only at the Body Refining Realm or the Visualization Realm. If they rashly participate in the fierce battle between the cultivators at the Object Exorcism Realm, not only will they fail to play an effective role, but they may also lose their lives in vain.

Therefore, these detectives wisely chose to set up a defense line around the battlefield.

They quickly drew their repeating crossbows from their waists, their movements skillful and in unison. This repeating crossbow was a fine weapon specially made by the imperial court, its power not to be underestimated.

More than a dozen crossbows were held firmly in the hands of the detectives, forming a tight blockade. Any black-clad man who attempted to break through this line of defense and escape the battlefield would face a fatal blow.

Even if a master with a high level of cultivation in the realm of driving objects is completely exposed to the firepower of so many crossbows, he will probably not escape death.

Therefore, although the battle situation became increasingly unfavorable for the men in black, they never dared to take the risk of breaking out and escaping.

In the end, the five men in black except the leader, even though they used all their skills and unleashed their secret techniques, still could not change their fate of defeat.

Time passed slowly, and the number of men in black continued to decrease. One after another, they fell in a pool of blood, their souls passing away, until finally, only the leader of the men in black was left, still struggling and resisting stubbornly.

Seeing himself the only one left on his side, the leader of the men in black couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation. He knew the situation was irreversible, but a strong sense of unwillingness prompted him to use his last trump card - his own secret technique.

In an instant, the power in his body surged like a volcano erupting, his momentum continued to rise, and he returned to the peak state of the realm of driving objects again!

However, the leader of the men in black chose not to continue fighting with the masters of the Bai Mansion. He turned around with a resolute look, ignoring the fierce attacks from the enemy, and in a flash, he flew out of the city like an arrow.

Because he knew very well that if he lost his men, he could recruit and train them again, but if he lost his life, then everything would be over and in vain.

He swayed and tried to withdraw. However, how could the Bai Mansion's servants let him go so easily? They rushed forward, trying to block his way.

The leader of the men in black snorted coldly, wielding his spear like the wind, forcing back several approaching priests. Then, seizing an opening, he leaped into the air, darting toward the outskirts of Changling County. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the night.

But at this moment, the group of county constables who had been on high alert saw this and without hesitation fired the crossbows in their hands.

For a moment, all that could be heard was the continuous sound of vibrating bowstrings. Countless sharp arrows rained down like a torrential downpour, whistling towards the speeding figure of the man in black.

These rains of arrows flashed with cold light and emitted a terrifying breath of death, as if they were going to destroy everything in front of them.

The man in black was obviously extremely sensitive to the sounds coming from behind him. He was certainly aware that the threat from behind was approaching step by step.

However, surprisingly, in the face of such danger, he not only did not slow down his pace, but instead accelerated his escape.
