Chapter 824: Chapter 736: The National Master Tricked to Death by His Own Disciple_2

"Thank you!"

Princess Ata wasn’t pretentious. She had been protected since childhood, so there was nothing inappropriate about Dugu Xiao’s action in her view! 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The National Master moved as well, his robes fluttering, reaching out to take Li Yanyan’s hand. One hand grasped the silver threads, and where those silver threads passed, blood was bound to flow!

In an instant, the Nanjiang soldiers who lunged forward fell scattered across the ground.

Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiao were accustomed to cooperating; they protected Princess Ata in the middle, both fighting with fervor!

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and gradually they began to feel physically exhausted. The Nanjiang soldiers came forward in waves, and the few of them were drenched in blood, soaking their clothes.

Later on, their movements slowed significantly, and even Princess Ata became less attended to.

Fortunately, Princess Ata had witchcraft, occasionally releasing black mist to assist them, making it impossible for others to capture them for the time being!

"This won’t do. There are too many of them, and with this endless onslaught, our stamina can’t keep up. We’re bound to die from exhaustion sooner or later."

Dugu Xiao said.

Ji Youzhi was also somewhat panicked. The original plan was to fight while breaking through, but what he hadn’t expected was that these people were elite soldiers, far superior to regular soldiers!

"There’s no other way. We can only forcibly break through, fight individually, and whoever can escape does so!"

Dugu Xiao suggested this plan, inadvertently looking at the National Master. He could hover in the air, so breaking through wouldn’t be difficult, and taking one person shouldn’t be a problem. But he had Li Yanyan to bring along, so asking him to take Princess Ata might be challenging!"

The National Master sensed Dugu Xiao’s gaze, quickly analyzed the situation, and knew what he was thinking.

After a brief moment of pondering, he said, "I’ll clear a path for you, using all my strength to tear an opening through these Nanjiang soldiers. You must run down the mountain as fast as you can!"

The National Master unexpectedly said such words, and everyone couldn’t help but glance at him.

"As the National Master of Great Han, seeing you, the valuable generals and talents of Great Han, in peril without saving would be hard to explain to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Those words...

Dugu Xiao and Ji Youzhi, who had intended to express their gratitude, swallowed their words at once.

"Thank you, National Master."

The National Master pulled Li Yanyan behind him, protecting her, and then swiftly formed hand seals. A formidable surge of vital energy from heaven and earth rushed towards him. His right hand skillfully absorbed and utilized that spiritual Qi, then shouted, "Go!"

A powerful wind blew, causing the Nanjiang soldiers to stumble this way and that.

This was the moment. Dugu Xiao, Ji Youzhi, and Princess Ata repeatedly nodded to the National Master, expressing their gratitude, and then seized the opportunity to break through together.

The National Master barely managed a smile, striving to maintain his outward calm.

"Stop them! Hurry, chase them down! Don’t let a single one escape!"

Mo Changtao was terrified by the National Master’s move just now, so he dared not confront him directly. Thus, he quickly ordered others to pursue Ji Youzhi and the others.

In his view, Ji Youzhi and the others were the easiest targets with limited abilities, while the National Master was nearly at the Grandmaster level.

He dared not confront them directly!

"Master! You... how are you?"

After Mo Changtao ordered the pursuit of Ji Youzhi and the others, the National Master could no longer maintain his outward calm, letting out a heavy breath, and his body weakened, nearly fainting.

But in the aftermath of that fainting spell, he barely managed to hold himself together.

Li Yanyan noticed something was wrong with the National Master and hurriedly inquired.

However, it was precisely this inquiry that immediately plunged the National Master and herself into peril.

"Almost got fooled by you. You must have paid a heavy price for that move just now?

Trying to use their escape to draw our attention so you could escape on your own!

Didn’t expect Great Han’s National Master to have such cunning and tactics!"

Mo Changtao, upon hearing Li Yanyan’s inquiry, instantly reacted, waved his hand, and said, "Divide half the men to chase those who slipped through, and the rest attack me. The Grand General ordered that Great Han’s little Lucky Star must die. Kill the National Master and this child!"

As soon as Mo Changtao finished speaking, the soldiers beside him approached and whispered, "Sir, just now the one riding on the phoenix’s back was also Great Han’s Lucky Star. So how come there’s another Lucky Star here?"

"Doesn’t matter who the Lucky Star is! Today, if we encounter them, it’s just bad luck for them; kill them!"

Mo Changtao waved his hand, personally stepped forward, and drew the curved knife at his waist, fiercely striking towards the National Master.

The National Master now had exhausted his spiritual power. Initially, he calculated that once Ji Youzhi and the others escaped, these people wouldn’t let Princess Ata go but would fear his strength, so there wouldn’t be any danger on his side. As long as he still had the ability to carry Li Yanyan and hover in the air, there would be no problem.

But human calculations fall short of divine plans, and his silly disciple really messed things up at the critical moment!

Mo Changtao’s curved knife approached, and the National Master could only resist, throwing out silver threads along with a few yellow talismans, his last means of survival.

These yellow talismans only had a half-quarter-hour defensive effect. If during this time he couldn’t recover even a tiny bit of spiritual power, he and Li Yanyan would undoubtedly perish.

Worrying thoughts churning in the National Master’s mind, his hands’ silver threads wrapped around Mo Er’s curved knife, then fiercely pulled, directing the blade to the soldier beside him. Afterward, he no longer had any strength and fainted under the protection of the defensive talisman.

Seeing him faint, Mo Changtao was ecstatic, shouting loudly, "Brothers, Great Han’s National Master is finished, everyone charge!"
