In a somewhat bleak mountain forest, although there is no snow, it is also withered.

Shang Li walked in the mountains and forests, his eyes quietly looking ahead.

It was expected that Fang Bei was not in Ying Tianfu, and he didn't go to Ying Tianfu first to see Fang Bei, but to confirm Shang Jiuge's comfort and state first.

After making sure that Shang Jiu Ge was doing well under his own will and did not plan to return to Huashan for the time being, Shang Li did not think about forcibly leaving with Shang Jiu Ge.

The encounter with Qin was unexpected, because if Qin didn't come to see Shang Li, Shang Li wouldn't take the initiative to meet Qin.

But the appearance of Qin is also beneficial and harmless.

He thought lightly in his heart that Qin was not as aggressive and angry as he had shown before, of course, it had something to do with him, and for Qin's purpose, Shang Li neither believed it completely, nor did he believe it at all, but if you want to really see a person, you must not listen to what he says, but see what he does.

And when Shang Li was thinking, a sharp arrow broke through the air and attacked Shang Li.

Shang Li's face remained unchanged, he shook his hand and took out his sword, only to see a cold light flash, and the arrow was instantly cut in half by volley.

But the sound of the arrow was only a prelude to all attacks.

Then there was a loud gunfire and a more rapid gunshot, several projectiles from different angles towards Shang Li unreasonably shot, Shang Li's face remained unchanged, agitating the gray robe, under the infusion of true qi, the gray robe rose like a balloon, as hard as steel, those projectiles hit it, and it was impossible to enter.

"Who's coming? If you want to take your life, why don't you meet in person? Shang Li's breath penetrated the dantian, and he said in a deep voice, and his voice penetrated most of the mountains and forests.

But no one answered.

In fact, along the way, Shang Li has encountered many plots, and most of these are from the hands of Luo Jiao, after all, Shang Li is the only one in charge of the Central Plains martial arts who is still walking outside, just like a child holding a daughter in the middle of the city.

Of course, Shang Li is not a child who has no power to protect himself, but his identity and martial arts are precisely the weight of that daughter.

Because the truth is so simple, Luo Jiao has planted such big heels in Middle-earth one after another, so he naturally needs unscrupulous revenge to pour out his anger.

At this point in time, Shang Li went down the mountain, and there was no doubt that he became the target of public criticism.

But - this is the first time an assassination of this magnitude.

Because Shang Li's whereabouts were erratic and his feet were fast, Luo Jiao had no way to organize a strong enough assassin.

But this time, it's a little different.

Although most people can guess that Shang Li's descent from the mountain is to go to Fangbei's appointment, Fangbei's current news is near Jiangxi Bailu Academy, so most of the forces trying to intercept Shangli are also deployed around Shanxi.

It's just that he never expected that Shang Li would cross Shanxi regardless of it and go straight to Ying Tianfu, which surprised many people and made many people's plans fall through.

But now it's different, Shang Li clearly appeared in Yingtianfu, and he may go to Shanxi next, so once the route of the two points and one line is determined, it will be easier to set traps.

Moreover, combined with Shang Li's habit of liking to take a quiet road, he can just wait for the rabbit.

Now, I really caught a big fish.

The only thing that responded was the next round of gunfire.

There is no precedent for using a long-range firearm to assassinate a peerless master in the top ten of the Jianghu list.

At the very least, there is no precedent for success.

But with the development of firearms, this highly effective long-range weapon will definitely replace bows and arrows for this purpose, but unfortunately Shang Li provided them with this opportunity.

Shang Li heard the sound of gunshots, and he could also sense the projectiles flying towards him from all directions, he was already surrounded, and now he seemed to be a prisoner of a trapped beast.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"Why not."

As he said this, he jumped high at the moment when all the projectiles had not yet arrived.

If you jump fast enough, you'll be able to dodge bullets.

As long as you jump fast enough, it's also high enough.

Blind defense is only passively beaten, and only active offense is the best defense.

Although the old man did not know much about the firearms he attacked, even the ignorant knew that the greatest disadvantage of this kind of weapon with precision was aiming.

Unless a barrage is formed to hurt the enemy.

Shang Li had jumped on top of the branch of the big tree above his head in an instant, and the other party chose to ambush in the woods, of course, because it was better to conceal and set traps here, and at the same time, it could also organize a more three-dimensional firepower network.

But at the same time, if the first round of attacks doesn't work, any ranged weapon in such a dense forest will eventually become a liability.

Only the sword in the hand is the most trustworthy.

As Shang Li jumped onto the treetops, the entire forest instantly became a little silent, even dead.

But then, a terrible cry was heard from the silent forest.

Shang Li chose to use his sword to pierce the left lung of the first person he found.

The reason why it is a lung piercing instead of a heart piercing is because a lung-piercing will not kill a person instantly, and he can live for a long time, at least he can live to scream out.

But once the lobes of the lungs are pierced, the alveoli will be filled with blood, and as long as you continue to breathe, the blood will soon block your windpipe and choke you to death with your own blood.

Of course, you can also choose to hold your breath, so suffocating to death is also a good option.

and the coldness of the moment when the blade pierced the lungs, it was also very sour.

At this point, the screams echoed throughout the woods, and then, new screams rang out in the new location.

Such a cry is the best weapon to shake the morale of the army, and it is also the best tool to awaken fear.

Originally, the roles between the prey and the hunter were instantly reversed, and the entire forest was instantly plunged into panic.

Originally, even Shang Li, when everyone was holding his breath and hiding, he only judged the location of other people based on the bullets fired at the beginning, and finally caught a few people at most.

But if they choose not to kill their prey, and let them cry before they die, more people will choose to move and flee out of fear.

Just like when catching rabbits, when the net is opened, the next thing to do is to let the rabbits that were originally hiding quietly run.

Soon, the first man became unbearable in the fear of being hunted, and he crept down the hidden tree, and was about to flee into the distance when Shang Li appeared in front of him, and then handed out a precise sword, piercing his lung.

"The third one." Shang Li's voice sounded coldly in the woods.

It's like the cold whispers of death before you die.

This man has never been afraid to kill, and you can't judge his style and temperament when fighting by his usual amiability.

And the leader also realizes that he is a sheep trying to hunt a male lion, and there is nothing wrong with it, it is only that he has chosen the wrong opponent at the wrong time.

He closed his eyes in some pain, then shoved two fingers into his mouth and puffed them up, and in that moment a shrill whistle resounded throughout the forest, even drowning out the screams of his colleagues.

This is a signal of a planned failure and a general retreat.

As soon as he blew his whistle, he immediately turned over and descended from the tree without hesitation, and then a sharp sword aura followed, cutting off the big tree he had just been sheltering in.

Shang Li quietly landed in front of him who wanted to escape, and ignored the noisy sound of escape and evacuation around him.

"I don't know why my life is so valuable, you all want to take it." Shang Li looked at the other party and said lightly. "Can you give me an answer?"

The other party was silent, knowing that it was almost impossible to escape if he was caught by Shang Li, so he simply pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Shang Li.

Looking at the killer with the cold light flickering in his hand, Shang Li shook his head, but there was no slackness in his hand, the second sword flashed, and the other party turned over and leaped to dodge while still rushing towards Shang Li.

It was just that in the next moment, there was suddenly an extra sword on his forehead.

While Shang Li forced the other party to dodge again, a sword pointed at the opponent's eyebrows, directly ending all his movements.

At this time, Shang Li noticed the movement of his hand.

His right hand still held the dagger, but his left hand was buried in his arms.

Shang Li drew his sword, and the other party fell on his back, and brought out a brown-gray oil-paper bag in his left hand, which didn't know what was wrapped in it, and it looked bulging.

Shang Li's expression changed, and he swept back three zhang in an instant, and then a sword was slashed, and the sword qi cut through the brown-gray oil-paper bag, only to see that black particles like iron sand flowed out of it, and it was all gunpowder.

If Shang Li had a little softness, just like he had done with those dead soldiers before, he only penetrated through the lobes of his lungs, then the other party could immediately detonate the explosives in his arms and die with Shang Li.

With such a close-range explosion, even if Shang Li was lucky enough to survive, he would definitely be seriously injured.

"The dead soldiers of the Luo Sect are really a bunch of crazy people, and even the hives rarely do this." At this moment, a cold young man's voice suddenly came from the treetops above.

After Shang Li's battle, he looked up at the other party and saw a young man in a cloth shirt standing there, looking at Shang Li condescendingly, with a smile that seemed to be absent.

"Don't be down there, I've seen the head of the business."

"What do you have to prove that you are Fang Bei?" Shang Li asked the other party.

Because the two have never met.

"That's it." As the young man spoke, he jumped down condescendingly and slashed his sword at Shang Li.

The edge is like lightning, and the sound is like thunder.

Shang Li swung his sword to block, and was instantly slashed back five steps by the young man's sword.

Looking at Fang Bei, who landed on the ground and no longer attacked, Shang Li couldn't hide the shocked look between his eyebrows: "What kind of sword is this?" ”

For those who have never seen a sword, the first time they see this sword is without exception.

"A sword." Fang Bei simply introduced: "This is the sword that slashed Ning Huan to death. ”

Shang Li recalled the power and speed of Fang Cai's sword, and pondered for a moment, "Can you have another sword?" ”

Fang Bei had never seen such a strange request in his life, and he smiled: "Okay." ”

Saying this, the young man instantly bounced up from the spot and slashed out at Ning Huan not far away.

The young man's sword power is fierce, and when it is slashed out in that instant, even the momentum completely envelops you, it seems that if you choose to dodge this sword, then the other party can catch up with you and split you in half in an instant.

Even Shang Li, in the face of this sword, still had no choice but to block the second blow.

Even if it was said that he had already infused true qi to defend, but when this sword came down, Shang Li was still shocked back three steps.

Shang Li carefully tasted this sword: "Another sword." ”

Don't hesitate, it's the third sword to cut out.

Shang Li blocked, couldn't help but be a little out of breath, looking at Fang Bei, who was eager to cut out the fourth sword, he couldn't help but hurriedly waved his hand: "Enough, enough, don't want it." ”

"Now the boss believes that I am the farewell." Fang Bei looked at Shang Li and said lightly.

In this world, martial arts is always the best proof of identity.

The people in this world who can cut Shang Li into a little embarrassed may really only have this side in front of him.

He still looks so young.

"Believed, believed." Shang Li looked at the young man in front of him, he was dressed very plainly, he looked a little younger than he imagined, he was quite delicate, and there was no trace of scars on his face, compared to a young man who practiced martial arts freely, he looked more like a scholar.

"Why are you here?" Shang Li asked.

Of course, on the other hand, since Fang Bei was already waiting for the rabbit here, why would so many people come to ambush him?

Or is Fang Bei also one of these killers?

After all, Fang Bei was an assassin himself.

And is currently one of the best assassins in the world.

"Wait for the boss to come." Fang Bei said softly.

"This is the best place to ambush."

"Now that you know this is the best place to ambush, why not stop it in advance?" Shang Li couldn't help asking.

"If you stop it, then won't you have no credit at all?" Fang Bei smiled: "I believe in the strength of the leader, so I prefer to be an insurance person." ”

Shang Li was a little embarrassed by Fang Bei's reasoning, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll really die here?" As he spoke, Shang Li pointed to the bag of explosives in the arms of the man who had fallen to the ground.

"I almost died."

"That's what you mean." Fang Bei smiled, walked over and picked up the oiled paper bag that had been cut by Shang Li, and took out a fire fold from his arms and blew it on.

"What are you going to do?" Rao is Shang Li was also taken aback.

"Click on it." Saying this, Fang Bei approached the oil paper bag with the burning fire fold, and the beating flame touched the black particles, but it did not ignite as soon as he imagined, and burned quickly.

"This ......" Shang Li was momentarily confused by the second monk.

Since the fire can't be lit, is the killer here to be funny?

"I changed it." Fang Bei said in a true scripture.
