Chapter 271 Escape
Chapter 271 Escape
"Qiang——!!!"
A collision sound was heard, and the Feijin Sword and the Bianguai collided again, sparks flying.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Shu looked at Manjusri Bodhisattva, with a playful smile on his face, and said softly:
"Are you ready? If you are, I will give you a ride."
His voice is distant and magnetic, yet it hides an edge that cannot be ignored and makes people shudder.
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva trembled slightly. He slowly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring directly into Luoshu's eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
In those eyes, he clearly caught a hint of cold murderous intent, like a cold winter wind, penetrating into the bone marrow.
At this moment, a chill surged in Manjusri Bodhisattva's heart. He had never expected that Luo Shu would have such a determined desire to kill him.
However, then, Manjusri Bodhisattva thought to himself, Luoshu even dared to kill Taiyi Zhenren, let alone me?
You must know that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School are also ranked differently in the eyes of Master Jade Purity Saint.
The serious ones include Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Taiyi Zhenren, etc.
Among the lightest ones, Huanglong Zhenren would definitely be ranked first, followed by himself, Samantabhadra, Cihang and so on.
Although the latter also has a certain status, it is still inferior to the former.
Judging from this, Luo Shu’s murderous intention towards him was not just talk.
He was clearly aware that Luo Shu's murderous intention towards him was not groundless, but a real and strong threat.
This made Manjusri Bodhisattva tremble in his heart.
Although he had just spoken sharply to Luo Shu, fearless of life and death, in fact, when his own life was in danger, he could hardly hide his inner fear and uneasiness.
"It seems that I have to find a chance to escape from here."
Manjusri Bodhisattva was secretly calculating in his heart, and a look of determination and helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He knew very well that the strength of the Luo Shu in front of him was unfathomable. If he continued to fight hard, he would probably die here.
As for helping Jiang Ziya attack Sishui Pass, he had long forgotten about it.
After all, when it comes to life and death, everything is just a passing cloud.
Seeing this, Luo Shu curled up a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which seemed to contain a bit of sarcasm and disdain.
"Have you thought it through? Didn't you just say that you wanted me to finish the battle quickly?"
"Why? Now that it's really a critical moment, you become hesitant and fussy?"
His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by Manjusri Bodhisattva, pricking his nerves like a needle.
Upon hearing this, Manjusri Bodhisattva's expression changed slightly, but he immediately regained his composure.
He knew very well that any emotional fluctuation at this moment could be a fatal weakness.
Therefore, he tried hard to control his emotions and not let them affect his judgment.
"Luo Shu, you don't need to say more. I will fight you till death."
Manjusri Bodhisattva responded in a deep voice, his voice revealing an unquestionable firmness.
After he finished speaking, Manjusri Bodhisattva took a deep breath, and a powerful spiritual power suddenly surged around his body, and he was ready to attack Luo Shu.
When Luo Shu saw this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect that he had underestimated Manjusri Bodhisattva.
I thought he was a sanctimonious person, but unexpectedly, he still had some backbone.
"Humph, what a fight to the death. I want to see what you are capable of."
Luo Shu snorted coldly, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Then, Luo Shu swung the flying golden sword in his hand. The golden sword energy on the tip of the sword moved like a dragon and snake, making sharp whistling sounds. It was obvious that he was ready to fight.
However, just as the two sides were on the verge of a shocking battle, an accident happened.
Suddenly, Manjusri Bodhisattva used the great magical powers "Five Elements Great Escape" and "Golden Light on the Ground" and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Luo Shu was shocked when he saw this. He never expected that Manjusri Bodhisattva would escape.
"What a great Manjusri Bodhisattva! I really overestimated you." Luo Shu said in his heart.
However, Luo Shu did not chase after him, but let Manjusri Bodhisattva escape.
The reason is very simple. He has already killed Samantabhadra. If he kills Manjusri Bodhisattva at this time, then Yuanshi Tianzun, with his protective character, will definitely kill him at all costs.
By then, the situation would be out of control. Therefore, Luo Shu no longer cared about Manjusri Bodhisattva's escape.
He flashed and instantly arrived at the foot of Sishui Pass.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong and the others were all surprised and happy. They all ran over quickly, surrounded Luo Shu, and started asking questions in a flurry.
"Master, did Manjusri Bodhisattva really escape?" Yuan Hong spoke first, his tone containing both doubt and a bit of disbelief.
After all, in Yuan Hong's mind, everyone in the Chan sect values their reputation, so why would they run away?
"Yes, Master, this person from the Chan Sect is really a coward!"
Mu Zha couldn't help but interrupt, with a hint of disdain and sarcasm in his tone.
"Uncle Master, you are so awesome. Even my nephew wants to change his sect." Yu Hua looked at Luo Shu and said with admiration in his eyes.
When Luo Shu heard what everyone said, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly:
"Let Wenshu escape, this matter is not important. For now, let King Wucheng confront the Zhou army."
Wucheng King Huang Feihu, with a solemn but somewhat relieved expression, bowed deeply, folded his hands in front of his chest, and made an extremely respectful salute. His voice was steady and full of gratitude:
"Master Imperial Master, Huang Feihu will always remember your kindness in helping me."
"If you hadn't come in time, Sishui Pass would have been in ruins, and the safety of the people in the city and the city of Dashang would have been in jeopardy."
Luo Shu smiled gently, with a warm light flashing in his eyes. He waved his hand gently, and his action revealed a sense of detachment and freedom:
"King Wucheng, you are too kind. I am also the Imperial Master of the Great Shang Dynasty. It is only natural for me to do my part for the Great Shang Dynasty."
"Go and deal with the urgent matters at hand. Don't let the war drag on and miss the opportunity to fight."
Upon hearing this, Huang Feihu bowed again, then took his personal guards to confront Ji Chang.
Yu Hua looked at Huang Feihu's receding back, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to face Luo Shu, his tone sincere and enthusiastic:
"Master, please rest in the city for a while. When King Wucheng comes back, we will treat you well."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu nodded and followed Yu Hua to Sishui Pass City.
……
At the same time, in the Zhou army camp.
Jiang Ziya stood on the chariot, looking deeply in the direction of Sishui Pass.
At this moment, there was not only shock in his eyes, but also some indescribable complex emotions surging.
"Brother...would he choose to escape?"
Jiang Ziya murmured to himself, his voice was soft but revealed deep disbelief.
He originally thought that even though Manjusri Heavenly Venerable might be slightly inferior to Luoshu in strength, he would definitely fight with dignity until the last moment.
However, the reality before him overturned his expectations.
"How should I report this matter to King Ji Chang?" Jiang Ziya pondered in his heart, frowning.
He knew very well that Manjusri's escape would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the morale of the entire Zhou army, and would likely cause the king to worry and be uneasy about the future of the war.
Just when Jiang Ziya was in a dilemma, Ji Chang's eyes, although old but still sharp, also captured the subtle changes on the battlefield.
He walked forward slowly, and although his eyes were not very clear, his innate kingly bearing and keen intuition made him realize that something was wrong instantly.
"Prime Minister, it seems that the war situation has changed?"
Ji Chang's voice was gentle and steady, yet it carried a majesty that could not be ignored.
