Chapter 57: The Hunters
The old man's strong spiritual power continued to pour into Su Hao's body
"Adjust your spiritual power by yourself and recover quickly. β
"Senior, ......... the hell you"
"Looks like you're struggling with this. β
"........." Su Hao didn't answer, but that look had already given the old man an answer.
"My name is Lei Nie. Originally, it was the leader of the Spirit Master Hunter Army. "To put it simply, this is a general who is responsible for training and directing operations, but it does not command the whole army.
"Lei Nie ......?" This name made Su Hao feel very familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"Hehe, thirty years ago, I defected from the hunting army with my son, so my name should be found in the 'black roster' of the hunting army. β
"Defection?"
"Grandpa is not a bad person!The worst thing is those 'bad spirit masters'!" Ji Yun accosted on the side.
But Su Hao was even more confused.
"These things are all in the past, if I want to make it clear to you, I'm afraid I will have to talk about it for half a month. Don't mention it. For now, let's first remind the Southern Martial Army that it is more important. A glimmer of light flashed in Lei Nie's eyes, which seemed to evoke his memories, but he still didn't say anything else.
"Senior, you see, we have never met, if you say that I have evil intentions, then you will not save me, but if you believe me, why do you keep hiding it? Although I am a junior, but the matter is serious, right and wrong, I think I will still divide it. Su Hao stared straight at Lei Nie.
"You're an afterlife... It's okay, these things, it's useless for me to bring them into the coffin. β
Lei Nie was silent again, and after a long time, he sighed: "Back then, we were the most elite branch of the hunting army. β
"We?"
"Yes, I also have teammates who belonged to the same branch at the time, in fact, to put it bluntly, we are the 'people with the most blood in our hands', and after decades of cleaning, our hands have been stained with the blood of many spirit masters. Lei Nie said calmly as if he was talking about what he had eaten yesterday.
"At that time, we were still in the prime of life, but we were not as active as when we were young men, and many times we sent our men on missions. I still remember it was a snowy day......"
Thirty years ago
The wind and snow continued to drill through the gaps in the armor, dusting off the snowflakes on the scabbard, and the young man walked towards the man in front of him. "Father, are we really going to carry it out? That's one of the great generals of the Southern Front! Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"There will be no misunderstanding, it has been determined, the target this time has indeed entered the demon path, learned the method of the spirit, has been confirmed many times, and has been used on the battlefield. β
"But he's used to kill spirits, isn't he? Why can't he do that?"
"Bastard, we are spirit masters, how can we learn this method of evil spirits?" The middle-aged man in front of him said with anger in his tone. Glaring at him.
"Lei Nie, we're leaving!" someone at the door urged.
"You must know that this time we are also a general in the face of good and bad, and its strength does not allow us to make any mistakes, and we will follow the plan for a while, and we can't make mistakes. β
Out of the door, there were already columns of soldiers in black armor in front of him, and there were soldiers constantly gathering, thousands of people, Lei Nie took his son, went to the left of the queue, in front of them was a high platform, on which there was a person, sitting on the high platform, a long knife leaning in his arms.
When the team gathered, the person sitting on the high platform raised his head and looked down, and said coldly: "Are you all here?"
"It's all there. In the center below, the leader responded.
"Okay, the target this time is at the general level, everyone should be careful to deal with the battle, before the operation begins, anyone's spiritual power will be suppressed to the minimum. You have to be quick. Leyou, Wen Guang, Lei Nie, the three of you are the most dangerous, you must be prepared. β
"My subordinates understand!"
"Let's go!"
The procession of thousands of people, in unison, marched quietly, the wind and snow were still howling, and the team advanced for several days until it came to a mountain road.
"This is it, let's get ready. β
The soldiers on all sides dispersed and soon entered the arranged positions.
And Lei Nie and the two people who also looked like commanders had already changed into the clothes of heralds at this time and walked towards a military camp in the mountain road. When they got closer, the three of them dismounted, and said to the guards at the door in a businesslike tone: "I have come here by the dean of the Spiritual Academy, and I would like to inform you." β
After a short time, a person walked out, high-spirited, and his eyebrows were extraordinary, and this person was the target they were looking for, the general of the southern line - Wang Fa.
"I don't know ......"
"General Wang Fa, we have come to convey the dean's message, this matter is very important, please leave the barracks with us, I am afraid that there is a wall nearby. β
"This ...... All right. β
The four of them quickly left the barracks and headed towards the place where they had been 'ambushed' before.
"I don't know what kind of oracle it is, and it must be so mysterious. β
"We have received news that there are rebels in the army, and we are afraid that it will be unfavorable to the general, and we will hand over the detailed information to you later. β
The more he walked, the more nervous he became, and Wang Fa had already sensed that something was wrong.
"It's pretty much the same here. Why go that far?"
"Well, it's okay here, General, and please take the order. After speaking, Lei Nie took out a scroll from his breastplate, which was the order of the Spiritual Academy.
"General, please look. Lei Nie opened the scroll little by little, and on both sides of him, Leyou and Wen Guang also silently put their hands on the scabbard.
When the scroll was stretched to the end, a bright dagger appeared, covered with inscriptions, and suddenly, the spiritual power in Lei Nie's hand surged! The spiritual power storm swept out, and it was an extremely refined spiritual power, constantly walking up and down Wang Fa's body.
"Damn, a little bit extra!" said that the blades of Le You and Wen Guang were almost up to Wang Fa's neck.
Who knew that Wang Fa suddenly had a black energy burst out all over his body, constantly attacking the three of them. The blade is flicked open. Wang Fa ninja pulled out the dagger in pain: "Why...... Why ......" Wang Fa looked at the dagger, a totem on this dagger he was very familiar with, it belonged to the dean......
"Sure enough, you have the power of the spirit, what else do you have to say? The energy is a taboo that our spirit master cannot touch, you deserve to die!"
"Hehehehe...... Is it because of this......" Wang Fa seemed to have a crazy look.
"What can you guys who are hiding in the spiritual courtyard know, how precious is the life of every soldier in our border army, and how can I protect them with spiritual power alone. β
"They are spirit masters, and it is a great honor to die on the battlefield!"
"And then? Sending us to death? Do you really think that our current territory is that we have the ability to resist the spirits......?
The soldiers who had been lying in ambush around him were already leaning in, and several arrows with chains pierced his hands and feet.
Wang Fa was struggling, and the hunters who rushed towards him fell one by one, he didn't bring his own spiritual martial arts, and even so, the hunting army still couldn't take advantage.
"Pull away! Don't fight him! See how long he can resist the spiritual power of the hospital chief!"
And just as Lei Nie said, the dean's spiritual power has begun to riot, and the spiritual power injected by the dagger before is now sweeping around like an army formed in Wang Fa's body.
"Come on, come and fight me!" Wang Fa's spiritual power flashed on the soles of his feet, and he wanted to rush over, but when he started, blood spurted out of his knees, and a spiritual power struck out of it, which was the spiritual power from the dean, which was extremely powerful.
"You ...... This bunch of cowards ...... I did something wrong, I was bent on the border, I only wanted the border to be stable, and I didn't think ......"
And the only thing that responded to him was the cold eyes of the hunters around him.
"Father...... We really ......"]
"Shut up!"
Lei Nie angrily scolded the voice coming from behind him, his eyes were staring at Wang Fa, at this time, his whole body was surging with vitality, and the spiritual power was uncontrollably leaking outward, there were already many wounds on his body surface, and the blood was constantly flowing, every time he moved, the spiritual power hit more than once, and even breathing would trigger the attack of spiritual power, and the energy also accelerated the riot of spiritual power in his body, constantly destroying, he was wailing, he was convulsing, and soon his eyes were destroyed by the spiritual power inside and out, and he couldn't see anything. But he was still struggling, crawling to Lei Nie's side, and said with all his strength: "Only... Only... I... I alone studied the method of power, and it has nothing to do with the officers and men in our army...... Please... Don't..."
A bloody wound struck out of his throat, and he collapsed to the ground completely. Only the hands were still raised, as if they were praying for something.
The body in front of him soon stopped moving, looking at the sacrificed hunters around him, as well as the corpse that raised his hands in a miserable manner, and glanced at the direction where Wang Fajun was, Lei Nie gave an order: "Clean up the battlefield and return to the camp!"
"What? But we don't have to deal with Wang Fa's army? Do you really believe that he is the only one who can use the power?" Wen Guang said in a deep voice.
"I'll explain it to the Grand Chancellor. It's all up to me. β
After that, Wang Fa's body was brought back to the headquarters of the hunting army, and when the 'Grand Commander' learned that Lei Nie had not eliminated the entire Wang Fa army according to the plan, his face was also very ugly.
"Do you know that if we let a spirit master who knows how to be in our ranks, it will not only be a shame for us, but more importantly, if there is a problem that affects the entire army, then we will not be embarrassed ourselves?"
"Great Commander, I think that if there is really any more, it will not be too late for us to make a move, there is no need to kill them all now, after all, the Nanfa army has great achievements, how can it be ...... like this"
"Ridiculous! How many of our troops are not very successful? Is that enough to be a reason? We are spirit masters! If you don't have the determination, then you don't have to stay in the hunts!"
"Commander, the people have brought it. While the two were talking, Leyou took a young man to the main hall, and the young man's eyebrows were also extraordinary, like Wang Fa.
"He's ......! Grand Commander, this doesn't matter to the child, we haven't received such an order, why do we do so desperately?" The young man's eyes were glazed, as if he had no soul left, and he stood quietly.
"This is the consequence of your failure to carry out the order, and now the Nanfa army has discovered that their general is missing, and the mess has to be handed over to the Spirit Courtyard to clean up. β
"Even so, this kid doesn't know anything, doesn't he?, and he doesn't study the power of play, why!" Lei Nie began to get angry, which was not his intention.
"What do you think we can do? If this child is kept, what will happen in the future, who knows?"
"Since that's the case......" Lei Nie dodged, and hit a palm with his right hand, Leyou also reacted, raised his hand to each other, and the two palms touched, and Lei Nie was pulled over by the child.
"Bold!" The figure in the center of the hall finally made a move, and the vast spiritual power instantly filled the space, and Lei Nie knew that something was wrong. Hurry back.
"What's so angry?"
Suddenly, a voice came from outside, and the Grand Commander quickly withdrew his spiritual power, got up and went to the door: "Dean!"
"Hehe, it's so lively. β
"We ......"
"I know. After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lei Nie.
"You're Lei Nie. β
"Meet the Dean. β
"I've heard about it, you seem to have your own ideas?"
"Yes, the last general thinks that although Wang Fa is indeed contaminated with martial arts, he really does not have any rebellious intentions, not to mention that his army is also one of the best on the southern front, and we ......"
"That's enough!" the dean suddenly became angry.
"Do you think we haven't thought about this? Do you know that we once paid too much price because some of the spirit masters were involved in the arts?
The dean was furious, as if he had touched his scales. And after that. Lei Nie was dismissed.
"After that, we lived a life of running around, my son met his daughter-in-law on the way to escape, and this is why Ji Yun was born, but ...... Except for our grandchildren, they still did not escape the hunting army after all. β
And these 'hunters' have become the 'bad spirit masters' that Ji Yun said.
Lei Nie has been speaking calmly. Ah Hao didn't say a word beside him, how could he not know the darkness of the hunting army, but when he was centered on the old man in front of him, Ah Hao had a strange feeling.
What did you do in the huntsman before, which ones were right and which were wrong?
And after saying so much, Ah Hao remembered the most important thing. "Senior Lei Nie, you said that we are going to remind the Southern Martial Army now? Why is this?"
"Alas...... Wang Guang, the general of the Southern Martial Army, was Wang Fa's child back then. After Wang Fa's incident passed, I sneaked back and saw Wang Guang being taken away by the dean himself, I thought that something bad would happen, but I didn't expect that the dean had trained him to become a spiritual master. β
"This ......... You mean the spirits are running for him?"
"It's hard to say, I just have some speculation of my own right now, but now that we've determined the appearance of the spirit, and there should be someone else behind that woman, we must act as soon as possible. As he spoke, the spiritual power had been taken back, Ah Hao looked at himself, the wound had healed, and the spiritual power had recovered a little.
Without saying anything all the way, the three of them set off straight towards the camp of the Southern Martial Army, Ji Yun was slow, so he had to ride the Sky Swallowing Tiger forward. I didn't see the whereabouts of the spirit along the road, which made people feel a strange feeling, all kinds of strange behaviors of the spirit, thinking of this, Ah Hao's head hurt.
γNanwu Army Campγ
As it got late, the atmosphere in the barracks became more and more tense.
In the general's tent, Wang Guang was adjusting his spiritual power.
"Strange...... Why are you always nervous? β
The cool breeze blew into the camp tent, and the lights swayed, just like Wang Guang's heart at this moment, swaying.
