Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Shadow of the Tree Mourns the Gale
Just as the cavalry on the right flank accelerated again, ready to rush out of the woods, a pale cyan figure flashed out of a branch somewhere and landed behind one of the cavalrymen.
The cavalryman felt someone behind him, and was about to turn around, when he saw a flash of gray light, and the light armor on his body was cut like a layer of paper, and then he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The corpse landed on the soft dirt of the ground with a slight thud, but was completely drowned out by the messy sound of horses' hooves.
The pale cyan figure disappeared for a moment, and when it reappeared, it was already behind another cavalryman. In this way, in a dozen breaths, there were already six or seven cavalrymen who died under him.
This figure is naturally Shi Zhiyi, after entering the dawn, the Shi family's ancestral body method Xingyue Yin can finally practice, and in the past few months, it has become more and more proficient.
Whether it is swordsmanship, swordsmanship, marksmanship or body technique, the cultivation of martial arts can be roughly divided into four realms: Xiaocheng, subtle, Tongming, and supreme.
In addition to the difference between the two in terms of strength, true yuan, and divine thoughts, what is more important is the understanding of the martial arts itself, that is, the difference in the realm of martial arts.
Whether it is Shi Zhiyi's body technique, fist technique or swordsmanship, the real cultivation has only just begun after he has advanced to the transcendental, and he can't even do it at present, and Fu Linyue's understanding of the eight styles is infinitely close to the supreme realm.
But thanks to Shi Zhiyi's own comprehension of the way of martial arts, as well as his unremitting practice in the past two months, his body technique Xingyue Yin has begun to touch the edge of Xiaocheng.
In addition, among the complete set of Xuangang treatises that he seized from Da Xi Mengze's hands, the most useful for him was naturally the Tayao Tai, which could temporarily improve his strength, but in addition, he had also consulted the sword technique Qingying Changtian and the body technique on the giant boat of the Forgotten Worry River.
It is said that this body method is cultivated to the extreme, and it can be transformed into nine doppelgangers, and the real body of the warrior can be converted at will between the phantom, but the last one who practiced to such a realm was 10,000 years ago.
Although Shi Zhiyi has not even cultivated a clone at present, this does not prevent him from borrowing some of the content in the glimpse of the floating light and integrating it into his own stars and moons, making his body more and more elusive.
When Shi Zhiyi killed the eighth cavalryman, he was finally discovered - a cavalryman inadvertently glanced at his side and rear, and happened to see the scene of his colleague falling off his horse, and he was originally in the middle of the team, but there was no one behind him!
"Enemy attack!"
In a panic, he shouted these two words of warning with all his strength, and then he felt a chill in his chest, and watched a dull gray tip of the sword burst out of his heart, and then planted his horse.
Hearing this warning, dozens of cavalrymen who were walking through the woods grabbed the reins one after another, and when they turned around, they found that in the woods they had just passed, there were nearly ten corpses of their companions lying horizontally! Everyone died in different ways, but the same thing was that they were all killed with one blow!
The shadows of the trees in the forest were not visible except for the mottled sun spots, and the attackers were completely nowhere to be seen.
Dozens of cavalrymen quickly gathered together to warn their comrades outside the forest, so as not to be killed by the attackers alone.
Because it was a lightly armed pursuit, the cavalry did not carry swords and bows and arrows, and the only weapon in their hands was a spear, although they could not use it in this dense forest, they still clenched the spears in their hands, vigilantly looking for traces of the enemy.
However, their approach was evidently somewhat futile, and the sound of falling to the ground was heard again, and another cavalryman was slit by a sword, and he was thrown off his horse, and none of these dozens of people saw how the enemy appeared and how he disappeared!
Shi Zhiyi, who entered the realm of dawn, with a peerless body and a sword in his hand, finally turned on his slaughter mode when facing this group of cavalry who were generally not in the realm of cleansing!
The cavalrymen could occasionally see a cyan figure passing by, but before they could shoot, the other party had already disappeared, and at the same time, the screams of their companions and the sound of falling to the ground kept coming to their ears!
Just when the cavalry was terrified and did not know when bad luck would befall them, the cavalry on the left and center also entered the woods after hearing the warning.
Looking at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, where would Beigong Zhao not know what was happening!
He drew his sword and shouted angrily, "Shi Zhiyi, you little rabbit, get out of here and die!"
No one spoke.
All he answered was the sound of another corpse slamming against the weeds and dirt.
Even Beigong Zhao in the late dawn did not see how that cavalryman was killed by Shi Zhiyi.
Looking around blankly, all that came into view was the big trees surrounded by one person, rustling under the breeze.
"Everyone, exit the woods! right away!" Beigong Zhao finally discovered the problem - this forest was the place for Shi Zhiyi's carefully selected decisive battle, which was suitable for his elusive body, but for this group of cavalrymen armed with spears, it was completely impossible to give full play to the numerical advantage and the impact of the cavalry.
After paying the price of three corpses again, the cavalry of Beigong Showa and his personal guard battalion completely withdrew from this forest, and at this time, the original team of two hundred people was left with less than one hundred and eighty people!
In the short period of half a pillar of incense just now, the number of cavalry who died in the hands of Shi Zhiyi reached twenty!
However, although they temporarily escaped from the shadow of death, they did not carry bows and arrows, but they were helpless against Shi Zhiyi, who was still hiding in the woods.
Before they set out, how could they have imagined that this young man, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, would not only dare to make a move in the face of their team of two hundred people, but also be able to kill a tenth of their companions, but they had not yet been discovered!
Originally, I thought that I and the others were two hundred wolves to catch a little sheep, which should have been a matter of catching them, but now I found out that the target was a fierce tiger, and in front of him, he and the others were a group of lambs to be slaughtered!
Do you have to go on like this until the fully equipped reinforcements arrive? Beigong Zhao naturally can't swallow this evil breath, and he can't afford to lose this face!
Moreover, most of the Fourth Army Corps, which is closest to here, is still at least half a day's way away, and when they arrive, I am afraid that Shi Zhiyi will have disappeared long ago!
But before he could come up with a foolproof solution, the accident happened again!
