Beliggerently Fleeing As Time Runs Out

Chen Yu and I held our tones firmly, being able to throw then the moment a guard would try and block our path. We cannot have any hold ups, if even for a second. Any slowdown might have our fate sealed.

"Go through the woods, It will make you harder to find."

One of the sisters, Jin, rebuked me "I don't think that would stop dear Xhu from knowing exactly where we are. No matter where we are he will go the stortest path to find us. The only real way to hold him up is if he where to collide with a building. But he would easily sidestep that, so it would not be much of a strategy."

Instead the 3 sisters went down the path, only having a turn in between us and the exit. We were only one minute away from freedom.

2 Guards suddenly jumped in, but before they could react, stones were aleady in their faces, knocking one out and letting the other flinch, who got swiftly struck by a knee in the head by the sister who wasn't carrying us, Min. Afterward she high fived the both of us while still keeping up the pace.

As the booming sound got closer, we got to see the figure chasing us. Unsurprisingly, it was Fan Xhu dashing toward us with an infuriated expression.

Suddenly, with a stern look Jin said "If he were to catch up, you must keep running toward the exit, we will try our best to hold him up. Make sure to flee into well guarded area's, not even he would be able to cause a commotion at that point. Make sure to find someone who can contact your father."

Sometimes Jin can be a very mature person when she is not goofing around with her sisters. I prayed that we could all make it out together.

Though that didn't stop the situation getting scarier by the second. We were only 30 seconds away from the gate, but at this rate he might really catch up.

I would try to pick up something else to throw, but that would only inconvenience Yin, and would likely have no effect anyways.

The gate was already somewhat close in sight but there was trouble up ahead. Most of the remaining guards, around 12 at a glace were standing in combat mode in front of the gate. There was also no other way but to bust open the gate, as the walls are to reinforced to break through and too tall to jump over.

Just as we were about to arrive, Yin and Jin flung us off while shouting "RUN!" Fan Xhu was almost directly in our face. In a panic while I ran I picked up some sand and put it hastily in my pocket where the Bleeding Heart was. It would be the only unknown remaining weapon if the situation turned dire.

But we quickly realized, we were stuck. We cannot break through 12 guard on our own. And I really don't want to use the Bleeding Heart on them left Fan Xhu catches upand break our neck.

"M'lady, come,I have a way."

I ran after Chen Yu, who seemingly had another plan left. I almost wanted to breathe a sigh of relief but I already had severe problems catching my breath while running. After a bit I saw what Chen's idea was. There was a small hole in the wall where be might be able to crawl through.

Already we could hear a scream. One of the sisters was taken down this fast!?

Hurriedly we went there while more guards were chasing us. One guard was up ahead.

As we nearly arrived the guards were once again only a few meters away from us, and we heard 2 screams in quick succession with again that loud booming sound loudly ringing in our ears.

Desperately I threw some of the sand behind me, tripping up the guards and the one before me, who rubbed his eyes frantically.

Chen Yu threw me forward as I crept in the hole, as I went out I pulled her in with all my strength.

We were out. But we by no means were safe yet.

And even worse, A gash has appeared on Chen Yu's left leg.
