Chapter 17: Wounding the Xuanshi
The mercenaries who were originally eating barbecue and chatting heard Chen Ning's words, they all stood up, put down the food in their hands, and picked up their weapons, after these days of getting along, all the mercenaries knew that Chen Ning would never say this sentence for no reason, especially when hunting demon beasts in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, it was Chen Ning's mysterious detection ability that made everyone prepare first, or when there were many demon beasts, everyone avoided in time, which made everyone gain a lot.
"What's the matter, brother, did you find something?" Just when everyone looked around vigilantly, the black panther and Hu Wen came to Chen Ning's side and said, after getting along these days, the black panther naturally knew that Chen Ning seemed to have an ability to detect the surrounding environment, so he didn't question it at all, but directly asked Chen Ning if he had found something.
Chen Ning nodded, pointed to a bush not far away from the black panther, and said slowly, "Brother, there is movement inside, and I can sense that they are moving very frequently, could it be that someone is eyeing us?" After speaking, Chen Ning's face was a little solemn, because when the mercenaries were on alert, his divine sense could clearly sense that the foreign objects inside seemed to be more frequent.
Seeing Chen Ning's solemn expression, the black panther naturally didn't dare to take it lightly, and glanced at several mercenaries who were closer to the grass, motioning them to go over and take a look.
Just as several mercenaries were instructed by the panther to pick up the guy and prepare to go over, a loud laugh sounded in the grass; "Hahaha, since you have found out, then we will not hide, brothers." β
"Boom"
When Chen Ning and the others heard this voice, their faces changed drastically, the figures in the grass kept flickering, only to see a group of people suddenly appear in front of Chen Ning and others, under the light of the bonfire, Chen Ning and the others finally saw them clearly, the number was not as large as Chen Ning and his party, as long as there were about thirty people, Chen Ning and they are now more than forty people, but they are wearing armor one by one, with steel helmets on their heads, and many of them still have blood stains on their armor, obviously there was a battle not long ago.
Looking at these people who suddenly appeared in front of them, Chen Ning and the black panther's faces suddenly became solemn, these people looked at it that they were not good, and this was the Demon Beast Mountain Range, as long as they were not fools, they knew what they were going to do. And when everyone saw a medal on their chests, everyone's faces changed suddenly except for Chen Ning, and Hu Wen, who was standing beside Chen Ning, said in a lost voice, "Tianyong City Management Family Mercenary Team." There was a tremor in his tone.
Seeing that they were recognized, these people did not hide it, and a middle-aged man standing in front of them, who seemed to be the captain of this group of people, laughed and said, "Haha, even if you still have a little eyesight, those who know each other will leave the demon core and weapons, and I will spare your life." Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be. β
Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, a trace of anger flashed on everyone's faces, especially the black panther's eyes were even more angry, and the hands held on the spear were also tightened, when he was in Tianyun City, the black panther was angry with Guan Jie, it is absolutely impossible to ask everyone to hand over the demon core and weapons, these demon cores are all exchanged for how many brothers have been killed and injured by the entire mercenary team these days, as for the weapons, it is even more impossible, if the weapons in the Demon Beast Mountain Range are handed over, even if this group of people does not kill them, it will be difficult for them to get out of this Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Chen Ning didn't speak, but swept over the bodies of these people one by one using his divine sense, Chen Ning found that in these days of exploration, he found that divine consciousness can not only detect the surrounding environment, but also detect the strength of others, with the deep sense of Xuan Qi, he has almost figured out the strength of these people, two Xuan Shi, the others are the ninth or tenth order of the Xuan Master, and the Xuan Master is the middle-aged man who is the leader and the man standing behind him, the middle-aged man should be the third order of the Xuan Master, and the one behind is the second order of the Xuan Master.
After knowing the strength of the other party, Chen Ning felt more confident in his heart, although the overall strength of his side was not as good as theirs, but his side had an advantage in numbers.
"Brother, wait for you to find a chance to escape, the other party is very strong, wait for my brother to be afraid that he won't be able to take care of you." Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, the black panther whispered in Chen Ning's ear, not wanting to be heard by the other mercenaries.
In this regard, Chen Ning shook his head decisively at the black panther and said, "Don't talk about the old brother, let's kill it together, the two of them are Xuanshi, the others are Xuanshi, although we don't have Xuanshi here, but there are more people than them, and it is not without a chance of winning." β
"If you don't hand over the demon core, or you'll all die. Seeing that the crowd did not speak, the leader shouted impatiently.
As soon as the leading man's words fell, those armor-clad butler mercenaries showed their weapons one after another, and a murderous aura instantly pressed towards Chen Ning and them.
At the same time, the black panther and his mercenaries were not to be outdone, and they also showed their weapons, but their faces were unprecedentedly dignified, and they also knew in their hearts that handing over the demon core and weapons was certain death, although fighting was nine deaths, but since the left and right were dead, it was better to fight to the death, they were also begging for a life on the knife edge, so naturally they would not instigate them.
Seeing the reaction of Chen Ning and his party, although the leader on the opposite side was disdainful, he also had some scruples, they had just robbed a small team like the Black Panther, but the other party was also the same as the Black Panther, they would rather die than hand over the demon core, and the two sides fought a big battle, although they were all killed, but they were not unharmed, so he said that he would hand over the demon core and leave the weapon not to kill them, and not to force them into a corner.
"You, come here, give me the weapon, I can promise not to kill you. The middle-aged man thought for a while, as if he had thought of some scheme, tilted his head, pointed at Chen Ning and said, because he sensed that Chen Ning's breath was a little lower here, and he gave him a way to live, and he didn't run over, as long as one of them surrendered, the others would naturally fall in the wind, and their entire team would collapse in an instant.
Chen Ning was stunned when he saw the middle-aged man pointing at him, and he suddenly felt funny in his heart, and the black panther also looked at the middle-aged man as if he was a fool, and without waiting for Chen Ning to speak, the black panther sneered at the middle-aged man, "If you want to fight, don't play this old-fashioned discordant scheme, my black panther brother is not greedy for life and afraid of death." After speaking, not only Chen Ning couldn't help laughing, but even the other mercenaries burst into laughter, which relaxed the originally nervous mood a lot.
The laughter of the crowd clearly irritated the leader of the group, who immediately ordered in a rage, "Give them all to me, and destroy them." After speaking, a hammer appeared in the leading captain's hand, and with a burst of energy fluctuations, it smashed towards Chen Ning, obviously the leading captain was extremely annoyed by Chen Ning's ignorance, and vowed to kill him.
And the other master behind the leader also held a spear in his hand, and cooperated with the leader captain, brandishing the spear and rushing towards the panther and fighting together.
On the other side, the butler mercenaries also faced off with the two sides of the Black Panther team, a big battle broke out suddenly, the Black Panther team did not disperse because they were gathered in the bonfire, they all gathered into a cage, and the mercenaries each cooperated with the butler mercenary team to fight together, among which Zhou Qing, who was stronger in the Black Panther team, and several other members of the Xuanzhi tenth-order mercenaries of the housekeeper team fought fiercely, and the rest fought with the butler mercenaries with cooperation.
However, due to the disparity in strength, although the Black Panther team has an advantage in numbers, the butler mercenaries are at least under the strong strength of the 8th order of the Xuan, and soon the Black Panther team is at a disadvantage, and they begin to be completely pressed and beaten by the butler mercenary team, and even casualties begin to appear.
Chen Ning still had a sword in his hand at the beginning, although he looked a little coquettish in the eyes of everyone, but in the face of the hammer driven by the strength of the Xuanshi of the leading captain, Chen Ning kept dodging the sword skills in the Ziqing Sword Duel, and was almost hit by the iron hammer of the leading captain several times, and he looked embarrassed in just a few rounds, and the black panther and the other Xuanshi were also completely at a disadvantage, and the defense was difficult, not to mention the offense.
Although Chen Ning's strength of the sixth order of the advanced Xuan Shi can have a fighting power with the Xuan of the eighth and ninth orders of the Xuan Shi in the situation of casting the Ziqing Sword Duel, but in the face of the leading captain of the third order of the Xuan Master, it is a problem to even dodge and escape, if it is not for the wonderful body technique in the Ziqing Sword Duel and the attack of the leading captain of the Divine Sense Premonition, I am afraid that he would have been killed by the leading captain, and the Divine Sense premonition that the enemy's attack was discovered by Chen Ning when he was fighting with the demon beast, as long as he uses his divine sense to sense the other party, he will sense some details of the opponent's operation.
And the leading captain is also extremely annoyed, Chen Ning is not fighting with him at all, this kid is running away at all, although his speed is much faster than Chen Ning, he can catch up with him every time, but this kid's body is extremely weird, he seems to know where he will attack him, and he predicted that he avoided it in advance, and several times he could have killed him, but he was dodged by this prediction. couldn't help but pause, and scolded loudly, "You waste, you don't know that you can't escape, do you dare to compete with me." β
Chen Ning didn't care about the leading captain's agitation method, and asked him to collide with the leading captain It was the old birthday star who ate poison and looked for death, but when the leading captain's body was stunned, Chen Ning's originally jumping body immediately seized the opportunity, and the Xuan Qi in his body poured into the long sword in his hand, and at the same time used the sword technique in the purple and green sword duel, and the long sword turned into a silver-white light, shooting towards the neck of the leading man at a very fast speed.
Chen Ning knew that the only thing he could rely on was the sword skills in the Ziqing Sword Duel, Chen Ning had tested it when he was fighting with the demon beasts, even if the demon beasts with stronger strength than him could only vaguely catch the sword shadow when facing the Ziqing Sword Duel, it was difficult to resist without paying attention, plus the purple qi in his body was attached to the long sword, so that Chen Ning could often kill him by surprise when facing opponents who were several orders higher than him in the same realm.
Seeing that the long sword in Chen Ning's hand turned into a white light and stabbed towards his neck at an extremely fast speed, the leading man's originally disdainful face suddenly became extremely dignified, and in an instant, the vigorous Xuan Qi belonging to the Xuan Master in his body spread all over his body, and the iron hammer in his hand moved forward at an extremely fast speed.
"Ding!"
Chen Ning's long sword stabbed on the leading captain's hammer with a loud sound, although the hammer successfully resisted the long sword, but the fierce sword qi on the long sword still deeply shocked the leading captain, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "What a sharp sword qi, what kind of sword skill is this kid cultivating, but he is obviously in the realm of the Xuan Xuan to exert such a terrifying sword qi." At this moment, the leading captain's eyes when he looked at Chen Ning were no longer killing intent, but hot, and he was bound to capture this son alive and force him to say his sword skills, the price of a sword skill was more than before the demon core they had, and it was also the main sword skill, and the value was higher.
Just when the leading man looked at Chen Ning with burning eyes and was distracted, Chen Ning moved, seeing that he didn't succeed in one blow, and the long sword was also smashed to the ground by the leading captain, Chen Ning knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and his body flashed into the grass next to him with a few jumps.
"Han Sen, did you solve that kid, come over to help quickly kill this Xuanshi Dacheng, and they will fall apart. Another Xuanshi, who was fighting fiercely with the black panther, saw that he couldn't take the black panther in a short time, and shouted to the leading captain.
Hearing this, the leading captain stared, disappeared and jumped towards Chen Ning, and replied to the Xuan Master, "Xia Hu, that kid has sword skills, I'll catch him first." As soon as the words fell, he jumped into the grass where Chen Ning had just fled.
After Chen Ning escaped into the grass, he began to hide his body, hiding in the tall reeds, holding a sharp branch in his hand, running Xuan Qi into the branch and the like, no way, the long sword was shot down outside, Chen Ning really had no other weapons on his body, Chen Ning is now extremely envious of the monks in the Xuan Shi realm, because the Xuan Master can imprint his soul on the weapon, and he can control it according to his mind, but the Xuan Master can't do it.
Just when Chen Ning was hiding in the dark and preparing to sneak attack the leading captain, he saw that the leading captain also jumped into the grass, and a pair of eyes seemed to be able to sweep around as if he could see at night, and soon he seemed to be locked in the direction of Chen Ning, and quickly rushed towards the direction where Chen Ning was hiding, Chen Ning saw that the deep reeds and grass did not affect the leading man's vision, and he screamed in his heart, and said secretly; The branch covered with Xuan Qi in his hand shot at the rushing figure of the leading captain, and his body quickly flashed back, what Chen Ning didn't know was that cultivators who had reached the Xuan Master realm could have senses, and they could detect their own range of nearly a hundred meters, and with the improvement of the realm, the larger the detection range, which was very similar to Chen Ning's divine sense.
The leading captain's originally rushing figure saw the branch that shot towards him extremely fast, his face showed a trace of disdain, and the speed did not decrease in the slightest, because the direction of the branch to him was left, and he didn't even use a hammer, and his left hand full of Xuan Qi waved at the branch, wanting to slap the branch on the ground, but when the palm of the leading captain touched the branch full of Xuan Qi, something unbelievable happened to him, only to see that the sharp branch easily broke through the outer layer of his palm Xuan Qi protection, and directly stabbed his palm, but because the branch broke the shield of the palm of the leading man's hand, the momentum was not so fierce, and it only pierced into one-third of the palmγ
"Ahh
A cry of pain came from the leading man's mouth, although the palm of his hand was not completely pierced, only a third of it, but it was enough to make him feel a sharp pain, and the sharp pain made the leading man let out an angry cry, "When I catch you, I have to peel you and cramp." After speaking, he gritted his teeth and pulled the branch out of his palm, and then chased it in the direction where Chen Ning retreated.
"Roar!"
Just when the leading man was chasing Chen Ning, and the black panther team on the other side was being beaten by the butler mercenary team with heavy casualties and was about to be unable to support it, a huge tiger roar suddenly came not far away, this tiger roar was very loud, echoing in the dark demon beast forest, even if it was more than ten miles away, I am afraid that it could be heard clearly.
