Chapter 159: Concern
Several people pounced on the sound, the two people holding sharp claws in front of them separated to form a flank protection, and the middle one flashed out and threw the pocket net in his hand. The net suddenly grew larger under the impetus of the gangqi, completely covering a huge area.
As soon as everyone saw their hands, they all stepped forward to check, but they saw that the net pocket was empty, not to mention that one person couldn't even see a mosquito.
Just when they were puzzled, there were two muffled snorts of "ahhhh
Xu Ning floated in the forest like a ghost, like a fish in water, and just now he quietly approached the man in black from behind. The two puffs of qi that shot out from the fingertips penetrated his throat from the back of his neck, and he dived into the darkness in an instant.
The eight people who usually cooperate with the tacit understanding fell three people in a row in a blink of an eye, and before they could see the opponent clearly, the other five people who were alive couldn't help but be a little flustered, and there was a trace of cowardice in their originally cold and ruthless eyes.
"This kid surnamed Xu is a human being and a ghost, coming and going without a trace, and taking people's heads on people's items is like probing for things." Someone said.
"If we can't take his life back, the king won't be able to spare us, don't be lucky, we must work together to fight to the death." The man in the lead said.
So the five of them were still close to each other, turning back and slowly searching, the front was replaced by two open roads with long swords, the one with a net bag stood in the middle and was ready to go, and the man in black with sharp claws became the queen of the palace. In this situation where the enemy is extremely passive, the five people still maintain the formation of ordinary training, and they are also quite calm and strong.
In fact, if they scatter and flee, they still have a chance to survive, or in relatively open terrain, it can also greatly increase the sniping and defense capabilities of the formation. But the five people must be trying to take Xu Ning's life, and the night is dark and dense here, and when they encounter a dangerous opponent like Xu Ning, they are now separated for fear of being sniped by each other, and it is obviously difficult to exert their power in a formation, after all, Xu Ning is in the dark and they are in the light, which is also extremely disadvantageous.
Xu Ning can find a big tree to hide in, and when the five people approached, the figure flickered and the person had already changed to another place, and the five people were tired of dealing with it for a long time, and suddenly felt that the ghosts in the entire dense forest were full of rumors.
When a figure swept between the two giant trees, the person with the net in his hand couldn't wait any longer, and the qi in his body burst out, and the net in his hand shrouded towards the black shadow. But where could I catch the figure that was as ephemeral as a ghost and as swift as a night owl, and this net bag made of strong material was once again in the air.
A black chain suddenly pierced directly from the tree on the other side, like a poisonous snake emerging from hell, screaming and tearing the flesh of a man in black with a long sword.
When the black-clothed men were in shock, Xu Ning flashed out from behind the tree, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
"You...... Are you a human or a ghost? One of the men in black pretended to be calm and asked in a trembling voice.
"Of course I'm human, otherwise I would have wrapped myself very tightly like Your Excellency, and I wouldn't dare to show my true face." Xu Ning stood with his hands in his hands and sneered at each other.
The four black-clothed men looked at each other, speechless for a moment, stunned.
Xu Ning asked calmly: "You are all from the Barbarian Palace, and you are not originally used to deal with people like me, presumably you were trained to go to the area of Dongzhou Zhongzhou to perform tasks, right?" ”
Several people stood up, and one of them replied: "I see that you are still young and careless, and this place is indeed not suitable for us to display our skills, and it is greatly discounted." ”
After he said this, he tore off the black cloth wrapped around his face again, revealing a pale face, and laughed miserably: "The eight of us are just used to this outfit, so it doesn't hurt to show you." ”
Xu Ning thought that this person must be the leader, and when he saw him speak happily, he also felt compassion, so he said lightly: "You have already lost half of it tonight, and I don't want to waste time to kill you, please take care of yourself." ”
When the four of them heard him say this, they were at a loss again, and when they came to their senses, Xu Ning had already walked dozens of meters away.
The black-clothed man who showed his true face paused, threw away the net in his hand, pulled out the long sword from his waist, and said coldly to the others: "If we can't take his head, what face will we have to return to the inner courtyard of the palace, it is better to die in battle!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the person had already pounced towards Xu Ning. The other three immediately followed.
Xu Ning heard the sound of the wind behind him, and said with a sigh: "I wanted to let you live, but you are stubborn, so don't blame me for being ruthless." ”
The others rushed forward a few steps, and then turned back, and a vertical jump was in the air, and with a loud cry from his mouth, the eighteen demon slaying locks roared out, and the broken gold and jade stabbed directly into the leader's chest.
The other three swarmed forward like mad beasts, offering their weapons against the smoky chains.
Although this group of black-clothed people are all killers in the realm of great generals, if they confront Xu Ning hard, it is tantamount to killing themselves by hitting a stone with an egg.
Before the blade touched the Demon Slayer Lock, it was blocked in front of a powerful wall of qi, and the weapons in their hands flew out one after another, and before the three of them could react, the Eighteen Demon Slayer Locks continuously remembered the sound of Jin Gelong's groan, and there was a faint sound of a powerful ghost crying out. Before the man in black could react, the black chains had already swept across his body, and before he could let out a wail, his flesh and bones were separated and scattered.
In the dense forest where it had just rained, the smell of blood was particularly strong, but it was calm again, and the smell would eventually be carried away by the breeze.
The night through the tall canopy of trees had covered the forest with a hazy veil, already foggy.
Xu Ning walked slowly in the forest, although it was already late at night, he didn't want to rush back, and suddenly remembered something. For example, his sister Xu Lan, I don't know if she is in Zhongzhou now, and whether she has found the murderer who killed her father? If it's really been found out, why should you keep it secret?
If it was true that his strength was too poor before, then now, Xu Lan should be able to tell him everything.
Thinking of this, I can't help but start to feel like an arrow.
Then he thought of Yan Bing, who had always been devoted to him, so Xu Ning's face began to smile again, it was the crying forest girl who had quietly stolen his heart.
Xu Ning didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered so many things tonight. The bloody battle just now had already been thrown out of the clouds by him, just because this kind of life of licking blood from the knife edge was commonplace for Xu Ning.
"If I leave the Gathering Spirit Peak and leave the Wild Land, what will Yan Bing do?" In the bottom of his heart, a voice came out inexplicably, gently touching the softest part of his heart.
Xu Ning was stunned, he stopped, sat down on the wet grass, and picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, it was so bitter.
"She hinted to me that she would not leave this place, and that the two of them would not stay together for a long time." Xu Ning suddenly remembered that when he and Yan Bing had just known each other, Yan Bing had said these words intentionally or unintentionally.
But Xu Ning knows best, Yan Bing's love for him is really to love him with all her life, to tolerate him, to comfort him, and even to go to the soup so that he is not afraid.
So he explained to himself: "Alas, what she said was only because the relationship between me and her at that time had not yet reached this point. ”
This is both an explanation and a comfort, Xu Ning has not seen Yan Bing for several days, and in the past few days, because of the blessing of misfortune, the emperor's astonishing formula has been raised to the realm of Mahayana, and he can't help but be crazy for a while and have no time to take care of other things. Now that he is in the quiet forest, Xu Ning will definitely think of Yan Bing again.
"I promised her that when my father got revenge, he would come back to accompany her for the rest of his life, and the sun rose and sunset and snuggled up to each other." Xu Ning stood up and continued on the way back.
It's just that this road still leads to Juling Peak, and maybe in the near future, he will go to Zhongzhou.
When Xu Ning was thinking about his lover, there was also a woman who was like a dream, constantly chanting his name.
This woman is the white sunken fish.
Two days ago, she and Long Tianmu Yu arrived at the Wild Ancient City, and the journey here was more than halfway there. Unfortunately, just when she was thinking like an arrow, Mu Yu fell ill.
Maybe it's because she can't adapt to the water and soil, or maybe it's because she eats some unfamiliar wild fruits along the way. Therefore, the three of them could only stay in the inn of the wild ancient city for a few more days, and wait for Mu Yu's condition to improve before setting off.
She woke up in the middle of the night, and it had rained heavily in the first half of the night, so she went to bed very early. Maybe it was because she had slept too much, or maybe it was because the moonlight that suddenly poured in in the middle of the night was too bright and woke her up.
Bai Shenyu was dressed in a light veil, leaning on the window alone, looking at the full moon in the night sky that was hurriedly walking between the clouds, and his heart was also anxious.
She sighed softly: "I could already see Brother Xu Ning, but good things always have to grind a lot." She also prayed that Mu Yu's condition would improve a lot tomorrow, and it was very likely that Mu Yu was sick by eating poisonous fruits by mistake, and with her cultivation, the poisonous miasma here could not be harmed.
The night is as cold as water, and the moonlight is equally cold.
The wind blew in through the window lattice, and she shivered.
She closed the window and walked barefoot across the cold floor, for a moment, she thought it was blood under her feet, but the blood was not so cold, it was clearly the rain that had come in when it had rained ahead.
When she sat back on the bed, she felt breathless and depressed. So she went back and opened the window, and sat down in the moonlight, her long hair falling like a waterfall.
There was a dead silence in the streets, this wild city could hold a million when it was at its most populous, and she had been here a few times before, where was it so bleak now. She thought to herself, it must have been the Wu family who had dispersed all the Gu people and driven them away, and yesterday she had already found out that Wu Tu, the son of the Wu family, had been sniped and killed.
So her mood was naturally more anxious, and she vaguely felt that Wutu's death must have something to do with Rashomon. If the Wu family had already taken action against Juling Peak in a hurry, Xu Ning and Chen Jin were afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it.
Fortunately, the long night passed quickly, after all, they were already very close to the Gathering Spirit Peak.
