The night was like a huge curtain, covering everything under its shadow.

Gu Yang and Helian Feng led the team, like ghosts in the night, silently walking through the dense forest.

Their footsteps were brisk and firm, and every step was steady and powerful, as if even the ground was paving a way for them to escape.

Although Gu Yang's vision in front of him was shrouded in darkness, his perception was extremely sharp.

He could feel all the movements around him, even the slight friction of leaves in the distance.

He knew that they were now out of the enemy's sight, but this did not mean safety, and they could not relax their vigilance at any moment.

Just as the team was moving steadily forward, Gu Yang suddenly heard a faint sound in his ears, as if something was approaching rapidly in the dense forest.

His eyes condensed, and he immediately gave instructions: "Disperse, hide!"

The team members responded quickly, spread out, and hid in the surrounding trees and bushes.

Their movements were skillful and fast, and everyone found the best cover, almost instantly blending into the darkness.

Gu Yang and Helian Feng stood still, their eyes locked on the source of the sound like sharp arrows. As time went by, the sound got closer and closer, and finally, a group of figures appeared in their sight.

These figures were of different sizes, and their fur colors ranged from gray to dark black, but their common characteristics were the wild light flashing in their eyes and the body exuding a fierce aura.

Obviously, this was another group of beasts driven by the enemy.

Gu Yang frowned slightly, he knew that the appearance of these beasts was not accidental, and must have been released by the enemy to track them.

He gently pulled out his long knife and whispered to Helian Feng: "It seems that we have to deal with these uninvited guests quickly."

Helian Feng nodded, and the tip of his sword trembled slightly, as if he was eager for the upcoming battle. The two of them stood at the forefront and became a solid barrier for the team.

The beasts seemed to have sensed the danger ahead, they stopped, growled, and the light in their eyes became more fierce.

However, they did not attack immediately, but wandered in the dark, as if looking for the best breakthrough.

Gu Yang did not give them this opportunity. He moved his body and rushed towards the nearest beast like an arrow.

The long sword drew a bright arc in the air, going straight to the opponent's throat.

The beast reacted very quickly, and it dodged sideways, but Gu Yang's attack was obviously more than this. His body turned lightly in the air, and the long sword changed direction and swept out.

At the same time, Helian Feng was not willing to fall behind. His sword skills were as natural as flowing water. One sword after another, each sword stabbed the beast's vitals with great precision.

His sword light bloomed in the dark night, like a meteor across the sky.

Although the beasts were fierce, with the cooperation of Gu Yang and Helian Feng, their attacks were resolved one by one.

Several beasts fell in a pool of blood, and the rest were shocked and dared not act rashly.

Gu Yang looked around and confirmed that there were no other threats. He waved to the team members and signaled to continue moving forward.

The team gathered again and rushed away from Fengyun City at a faster speed.

They passed through dense forests one after another, crossed streams and rivers, and kept moving forward. The night gradually faded, and a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, indicating that dawn was coming.

Gu Yang knew that they still had a long way to go, but at least now, they had left the dangerous area of ​​Fengyun City.

But at this moment, another round of footsteps approached rapidly in the darkness.

Accompanied by the low and rhythmic breathing, Gu Yang's heart jumped suddenly, and he knew that this was not an ordinary enemy-the night walker was coming.

Gu Yang held the long knife tightly, his eyes like lightning, and swept through the eyes of everyone in the team. There was a firm light in their eyes, and no one was shaken by fear.

"Prepare for battle!" Gu Yang whispered, his voice was low, but firm and full of unquestionable power.

The team members responded immediately, and they quickly adjusted their positions to form a spacious semicircular formation, protecting Gu Yang and Helian Feng in the center.

The tip of Helian Feng's sword flashed coldly in the darkness, and his eyes were calm and sharp, like a night owl looking for prey.

Soon, a group of figures emerged from the darkness. They were agile, wearing uniform black cloaks, holding a short sword in each hand, and the sword was glowing with a faint blue light, which was a sign of being quenched with poison.

These assassins are the direct forces of the Night Walkers. They cooperate tacitly and kill decisively.

If they were pulled out individually, they might not be able to defeat the pursuers who besieged Gu Yang and others before, but after forming a team, their strength would be even stronger.

These assassins were not in a hurry to attack. They surrounded Gu Yang and others, just like cheetahs surrounding prey, looking for the best time to attack.

Gu Yang's eyes flashed with determination, and he knew he couldn't wait any longer. He shook his body and rushed to the nearest assassin first.

The long sword and the short sword intersected, sparks flew, and Gu Yang's power was amazing. Every confrontation made the opponent feel numb in his arm.

Helian Feng was not to be outdone. His swordsmanship was clean and sharp, and each sword made a sound of wind, accurately stabbing at the opponent's flaws.

The team members also started fighting, and they had a fierce confrontation with these assassins. The swords flashed, the knife shadows were heavy, and the sound of metal clashing and suppressed breathing echoed in the darkness.

The battle was extremely fierce. The assassins' attacks were fierce and cunning, but Gu Yang and his team's defense was tighter. Every attack was cleverly resolved or blocked.

At this moment, an assassin suddenly uttered a sharp whistle, and then heavy footsteps sounded in the darkness, and it seemed that more enemies were about to join the battlefield.

Gu Yang's heart sank. He knew that he couldn't drag it on any longer. He shouted loudly: "Break through!"

The team responded immediately. They formed an arrow-shaped formation, led by Gu Yang and Helian Feng, and rushed to the assassins' line.

Gu Yang and Helian Feng were like two sharp swords, cutting through the darkness and pointing directly at the enemy formation. Their offensive was like a storm, catching the assassins off guard.

For a moment, the sword shadows were like dragons, the knife lights were like the sea, and Gu Yang and his team's momentum was like a rainbow, tearing a gap in the dark night walkers.

The team took advantage of the situation to break out of the encirclement. They did not stop and continued to rush into the depths of the forest.

They knew that only by moving forward could they get rid of the pursuers and find a glimmer of hope.

But at this moment, the Night Walker suddenly appeared in front of the two again, blocking the team's way.

"You go first."

Gu Yang's eyes condensed, and he let the others in the team leave first, and took the initiative to block the Night Walker.

At the same time, Helian Feng also cooperated tacitly and swung out sword lights.

The figures of Gu Yang and Helian Feng drew sharp trajectories in the darkness, and their swords cooperated perfectly, as if the two had become one, fighting against the deadly offensive from the Night Walker together.

The Night Walker's attack was sharp and cunning, and his short sword flashed a cold blue light in the darkness. Every swing was accompanied by the whisper of the god of death, trying to harvest the lives of Gu Yang and Helian Feng.

However, Gu Yang's long sword was like a swimming dragon, agile and fierce, and every swing brought a bloody rain. His body movements were extremely agile, rushing left and right, making it difficult for the Night Walker to grasp his trajectory.

Helian Feng was like a god of war. His swordsmanship was open and closed, and each sword was as heavy as a thousand pounds. Even if the Dark Night Walker was extraordinary, it was difficult to resist his sword force like a raging wave.

The battle intensified. Gu Yang and Helian Feng stood back to back, forming an indestructible defense circle. Their eyes were firm, as if they had forgotten the fatigue and fear, and only the desire for victory remained.

The other people in the team did not really choose to leave first, but chose to take the initiative to meet the group of assassins behind them.

The surrounding team members also became more courageous under their leadership. Everyone seemed to be endowed with infinite power and fought a desperate battle with the assassins.

The collision of sword blades sent out dazzling sparks, and every collision seemed to draw a brilliant track in the night sky. The battlefield was full of tension and excitement, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and sweat.

Gu Yang's long knife suddenly passed across the chest of the Dark Night Walker, and the Dark Night Walker instantly turned into a ball of black mist and dispersed. Helian Feng's sword pierced the throat of another assassin who was chasing him, and blood gushed out.

Their fight aroused the morale of the team. Everyone seemed to be injected with new vitality. Their attacks became more fierce, as if they wanted to defeat all the enemies.

But obviously, the Night Walker and the assassins he brought were not easy to deal with. After losing a few people, they began to become more cunning. They no longer fought hard, but began to use darkness and environment to carry out guerrilla tactics.

Gu Yang and Helian Feng realized this. They knew that they could not let the battle drag on, otherwise the team would be in greater danger.

Gu Yang shouted loudly: "Concentrate firepower and break through the siege!"

His voice was as exciting as a war drum, inspiring the team members to concentrate their attention, and they began to attack the weakest side of the assassins.

Helian Feng's sword was like a sickle that harvested life, and every time it was swung, an enemy fell. Gu Yang's long knife was like the arm of the god of death, and every swing took away a living life.

Finally, under their leadership, the team pierced through the assassin's defense line like a sharp spear. Taking advantage of the chaos, they quickly broke out and rushed to the safe area deep in the forest.

Behind them, the angry roars of the night walkers and the footsteps of the pursuit gradually faded away, but Gu Yang and Helian Feng knew that this battle was only a temporary victory, and the real test was still waiting for them ahead.

Time passed, and a day passed in a flash.

Gu Yang and Helian Feng led the team through the deep forest, on the densely wooded forest trails. Their footsteps were swallowed by the thick fallen leaves, leaving only a string of footprints of varying depths.

Their figures moved quickly among the trees, like ghosts in the night, silently.

As the night deepened, the stars in the sky flickered with a faint light, as if guiding them.

Gu Yang's eyes were firm. He knew that every step was a race against time, and every moment of stopping could become an opportunity for the enemy to catch up with them.

Helian Feng was always alert to the movements around him. His sword tip occasionally passed through the air, dispelling one or two ferocious beasts that tried to approach.

His eyes were sharp, like a falcon, capturing any possible threats.

The other members of the team also looked extremely tired, but no one complained. They followed Gu Yang and Helian Feng's steps and insisted on moving forward.

They knew that only by following the two strong men could they have hope of survival.

The moon showed its face from behind the clouds, and the silvery moonlight sprinkled in the forest, illuminating the way forward for them.

Gu Yang looked up at the moon and secretly calculated the time in his heart. They must find a safe place to take shelter before dawn.

Just then, a low roar came from the front of the team, followed by the sound of branches shaking. Gu Yang immediately raised his hand to signal to stop, and his eyes instantly became alert.

Helian Feng also felt something was wrong. He held the hilt tightly, ready to attack at any time.

The other members of the team also quickly found shelter and hid, leaving only Gu Yang and Helian Feng standing there, ready to meet possible enemies.

However, what appeared in front of them was not an enemy, but a black bear more than ten meters tall. Its eyes flashed with fierce light, and it was obviously disturbed by them.

The black bear roared, looking extremely angry, and every step it took made the ground tremble.

"Human, this is my territory, you have crossed the line."

"Either return the same way or die!"

Gu Yang and Helian Feng looked at each other, they knew they couldn't waste time here. Gu Yang whispered to Helian Feng: "Distract its attention, we will go around. Don't kill it, leave it to intercept the pursuers behind!"

"Okay, I'll lead it away!"

Helian Feng nodded, he quickly moved to the left to attract the black bear's attention.

Gu Yang took the opportunity to lead the team to go around to the right quietly, they passed carefully, trying not to make any sound.

The black bear noticed Helian Feng's actions, it roared and pounced on him, but Helian Feng was agile and easily avoided the black bear's attack.

He wandered around the black bear, constantly changing positions, and firmly attracted its attention to himself.

Gu Yang led the team to successfully bypass the black bear, they quickened their pace and moved deeper into the forest.

Behind them, Helian Feng also seized the opportunity, quickly got rid of the black bear's pursuit, and joined the team.

"Roar——"

A fierce roar sounded behind them, and Gu Yang smiled at Helian Feng.

The team continued to move forward, and their pace became faster. They knew that every moment of delay could be fatal.

The night in the forest was full of unknowns and dangers, but Gu Yang and Helian Feng led the team and moved forward firmly. They would not give up any opportunity to get rid of the pursuers behind them. (End of this chapter)
