Chapter 32
The night was still silent, and the cold in the mountains was still bitter. In the deep and silent mountain forest, more than two hundred slender figures were nervously carrying the vitality on their bodies to investigate.
They are the people of the Ancestral Spirit Palace, and they are here to arrest Li Jingxuan. Originally, they thought that this was a safe but cumbersome thing that could be successfully completed after all, but judging from the series of things that had happened the night before, this matter was not as easy as they thought.
They thought they were facing nothing more than a desperate lost dog, but the lives of more than thirty of their companions who were suddenly killed that night told them in crimson blood that this was not a game of grassland hunting, but a real fight.
After that night, Hart, who was in charge of the team, released a summons for help, Harrier, and narrowed the distance between the patrol teams, standardizing the contact information between the patrol teams, and further involved, trying to rely on the powerful perception of the three of them as disciples of the Qi Induction Realm to capture the inexplicable killer hidden in the darkness.
They had everything ready, just waiting for the sneak attacker to come to the door.
However, they didn't expect that the sneak attacker seemed to have gotten the message a long time ago, and he didn't show up for two days in a row.
"What's going on? is it a mole here, or is that guy gone?" Hartle pondered.
He used this to seek the opinions of his juniors, but unfortunately his own juniors were not talented military advisors with flexible minds, so they couldn't give him better advice at all.
In desperation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.
And so, two days passed.
Two days later, a squad from Lizhou joined Hartle.
At this time, there were more than 200 people used to patrol the mountain, which greatly alleviated Hartle's original problem of manpower shortage.
After the problem of labor shortage was alleviated, Hart and others were finally freed from the bitter state of staying up late to patrol the mountains. As at the beginning, he handed over all these things to the outer disciples who were one level lower than himself, and he organized these outer disciples into patrol groups in twos and threes, and formulated a set of mountain patrol rules for them according to the later norms such as distance and time.
Of course, with the fierce competition in the Ancestral Spirit Palace, no one wants to take anyone's urine. Naturally, all that Halt did was promulgated after he had completely subdued the inner disciples of the squad who had come to reinforce him by force.
The strong are respected, this is the iron rule of the Ancestral Spirit Palace.
Under Hart's strong order, the outer disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall once again began to patrol the mountain. More than 200 people scattered into the mountains and forests, pulling out a net that they only thought was dense enough.
Now they are praying that their net will catch the big fish they are looking for.
But is it possible?
In the place where the mountains and forests were a little sparse, the barren grass was swaying, and the two outer disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall who had walked here only felt that there was a burst of openness in front of them, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The dense and deep woods feel oppressive and mysterious. The environment where you can't see your fingers is full of mystery. Fearing the sudden appearance of the so-called Night Forest Killer, everyone had to be scared and tense when they patrolled the forest.
It was definitely not a good feeling of nervousness, but they were feeling a little tired after only half the night. At this time, an open place suddenly appeared in front of them, and it was no wonder that they unconsciously relaxed a little under their hearts.
"If there are often clearings like this on the patrol below, we can easily do it. An outer disciple said. His requirements are not high, but they seem to be difficult to achieve. Because in this dense mountain forest, it is rare to see such an open space as in front of you.
"Don't think about it, let's get through this night and wait until dawn to go back and rest!" the other disciple sighed and patted him lightly on the shoulder.
The two of them continued to walk forward, one after the other, but they walked very naturally.
Suddenly, a soft sound came into their ears, and the disciples behind them suddenly felt a chill in their chests. Then he lowered his head in severe pain, and was horrified to see a snow-white blade emerge from his chest. The blade was stained with blood, and the bright red and silver swords looked extremely dazzling in the light of the bright moonlight.
"You ......" The disciple wanted to speak in pain, but at the moment when he spit out a word, the blade that passed through his chest flipped up, and the vitality on the blade was all over the place, and the sharp vitality made the snow-white cold blade even sharper. With the flip of the blade, the disciple's heart was shattered, and the sharp pain swallowed back all the words he was about to utter.
"Boom......" The blade retracted, cutting his already broken atrium again, and he was spasmed by the severe pain, and he fell back by the force of the blade's retraction, and lay heavily on the ground. The sound of "pop" is neither light nor heavy.
"What's going on......" The voice was unusually harsh in the silent night, and the person in front of him quickly sensed that something was wrong, and he turned his head to see the figure that fell to the ground in the moonlight and the obvious red on the figure's chest.
"Enemy ......" The disciple who walked in front opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but he only shouted one word and did not follow.
Although he reacted quickly, it was the long sword in Li Jingxuan's hand that reacted faster than him. A silver sword light up, and immediately turned into a galaxy that shimmered with countless brilliant points of light, and the water of the galaxy poured out, as if it fell straight down from the nine heavens, and in an instant, the words that this disciple was about to utter and his figure were completely annihilated.
The shining galaxy rushed past where he stood, and the strong sword aura plowed a sword mark from the turf on the ground, and finally stopped a foot behind him.
The sword light dissipated, and his skinless body, which had been washed by the sword qi, fell heavily to the ground, and slid on the ground about three feet away from lifeless contact with the soft soil on the ground. At this moment, he had turned into a corpse, and the breath that was proof of life was no longer there. Scarlet blood oozed from his mangled corpse, which was as tattered as a rag doll, and in a moment it turned beneath him into a muddy patch.
"Huh......" Li Jingxuan let out a long sigh of relief after shaking the Qing Feng in his hand like a sword sheath on his back. Although he didn't do his best in that move, he also exerted at least eighty percent of his strength. After advanced qi elicitation, he found that he had become more comfortable with these tricks. Originally, some details that could not be turned can be tasted and adjusted at this time.
Take the trick "Star Waterfall Advent" just now, Li Jingxuan originally used a rigid state full of surging rivers, which could be released but could not be collected, but he didn't want to be so supple and tactful at this time, not only was the power three percent stronger than the full force before the breakthrough, but even the retraction and release of the move became much easier.
"This is the real galaxy sword power...... I was too strong. Li Jingxuan reflected. At this moment, he felt that he had made the sword too concerned about the lethality of the sword move, and forgot the true meaning of the sword technique itself. To put it simply, it is too rigid and full of craftsmanship.
"Well, that's something I have to pay attention to. If I have time in the future, I'd better calm down and re-understand the two sets of swordsmanship I have learned, and correct the mistakes. Li Jingxuan thought so.
He pondered for a while, shook his head slightly, but temporarily put aside these thoughts of what to do in the future, quickly lifted his breath and jumped into the air, and used his body to stay away from here.
Tonight's slaughter had begun, and he had already noticed that the arrangement of those people in the Ancestral Spirit Hall was different from the day before. After noticing that there were many more outer disciples patrolling the mountain than the last time, and listening to their complaints, he knew that he might have missed a good opportunity.
"It is said that cultivation does not know the years...... I thought this was only talking about retreat, but I didn't want this to happen to ordinary luck! Alas...... "The time now is three days after that day - Li Jingxuan thought that it only took him a few hours to practice the introduction of "Illusory Heaven Record", but he didn't want to actually come out and start it It has been a few days and nights, this is really, "He meows!"
The best opportunity was lost, and Li Jingxuan could only recreate the opportunity if he wanted to break through.
If he followed his original strategy, he would definitely have to kill more Ancestral Spirit Hall disciples tonight, but the fact that the enemy was patrolling so intensively at the moment made his killing less successful.
He watched for a long time, and finally found the group that he had just killed.
Although he quickly killed the other party, it had been almost an hour since he started looking for a target.
Maybe I'll have to think of something else. Li Jingxuan thought and slightly furrowed her brows. After pondering what he was trying to achieve and what he was doing right now, his eyes lit up. He felt that his behavior might be a little wrong: "My purpose is to disable the encirclement of the Ancestral Spirit Temple, not to try to kill them all. While taking out all of them is definitely a way to render them ineffective, it seems too difficult to achieve such an effect. Didn't they come and get me? I'd just show up in a direction they didn't expect. As long as they all go in that direction, then the direction in which I really want to break through will inevitably become less important. Give the dummy...... I'm going to have to use this strategy again. ”
Li Jingxuan thought so, and immediately adjusted the direction of his progress, but he spread out his body and went west. To the west was a corner of the Ancestral Spirit Palace's encirclement network, but he planned to appear there, so that the people of the Ancestral Spirit Hall would think that he was going to break through from that side.
"And in fact, it's just a façade. The place where I really want to break through is ...... To the east, that's the direction to the sea. From there, I have to travel to the Blue Underworld. Li Jingxuan muttered, and the vitality under his feet was lucky, but he ran faster.
Half an hour later, Li Jingxuan saw the group of people walking through the dense forest: two in front and one behind, in an inverted triangle queue. Unlike the pair of guys who seemed to be very cautious that Li Jingxuan killed in front of them, this group of people looked a little arrogant. They didn't seem to know anything about the horrors of the jungle, and they didn't know that there would be slaughterers against them in the jungle, so they were completely coping with the situation and going out on an outing.
"It was a delicious delivery to your door. Li Jingxuan nodded slightly, his eyes were slightly cold, but he locked the qi directly on their bodies.
At this moment, he was still above the treetops.
The next moment, he was already floating under the trunk of the tree under the gaze of the two of them. He appeared in front of the three of them openly, and handed them a beckon without saying a word.
For a moment, the brilliant starlight of the Galaxy Sword Technique lit up again in the dark forest. In the long river of silver swords, a few muffled snorts, and a miserable scream suddenly startled.
As this scream broke the silence of the dark night mountain forest, the disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall who were roaming in the north and south directions of this group of people were suddenly awakened. They quickly realized something, and a sharp whistle came out of their mouths, one by one, into the distance.
Then, like a relay, more whistles sounded.
At this moment, the disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall who were patrolling the mountain were like bees that smelled the fragrance, and they ran out of the west in a swarm. They began to take action, not only the outer disciples who were patrolling the mountains, but even Hart and the others who were hiding in the camp.
Listening to the whistle, Halt and their faces suddenly appeared with a smile of joy. And Hart himself was even more overjoyed and proud: "Sure enough, I found that guy! This time, we're going to have to take this guy down. ”
"Good!" the men around him nodded yes, and then jumped up and headed west.
They all thought that this time, they would definitely be able to take each other. But they didn't want to wait until they rushed to the ground by themselves, and what appeared in front of them were six or seven still warm corpses and an outer disciple who was only half breathing and hanging.
"What's going on, how many enemies are there?" asked Hart.
He asked, as he took out a pill of Restoration Pill from his storage pouch and gave it to the disciple, making him feel much better.
"Enemy ...... There is only one enemy. His strength is very strong, Tsing Yi is one-armed, but he is exactly what we are targeting. However, he was no longer in the Forging Body Realm, but in the Qi Drawing Realm. The disciple gasped and replied, "He killed Luo Ji and Jin Wu first, but was discovered by our senior brothers, and we pounced on him to besiege him, but as soon as he made a special move, all of our senior brothers fell here." Luckily, my heart is a little to the right a little different. The edge of his sword passed through the left edge of my heart. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be turned into a corpse on the spot. ”
"What? The Forest Slayer turned out to be Li Jingxuan? He had already broken through the Forging Realm...... It's strange that I didn't feel any change in the vitality of the neighborhood here. Hearing the disciple say this, Halt frowned slightly.
He thought it was a little weird. However, what exactly is the reason for this is not something that he continues to struggle with at the moment.
Now that the person who hunted him has been discovered, and the true identity of the hunter has been determined to be the same as his goal, there is only one question for Halt: "Tell me, where is he going?"
"West...... I watched him break through to the west...... Many of the brothers and sisters have already rushed over there. The disciple showed Halt the direction in which Li Jingxuan had left last.
"West, where would he go?" said Halt was more and more curious, "Hasn't he always gone southeast?"
Halt was puzzled, but now that this disciple was so sure that Li Jingxuan was running to the west, then he could only hold back the doubts in his heart and search for the west.
"Let's go!" said Hart, taking a few of his juniors and disciples with him, and flew to the west.
