Chapter 33: In Pursuit
With the actions of the disciples of the Ancestral Spirit Hall brushing together, the corner of the originally silent forest suddenly became lively. A lot of people rushed to this place, and then they were overwhelmed here. Because, here they have lost Li Jingxuan's figure.
"What's going on?" said Halt and the other five in the noisy woods, shouting at these disciples who were like headless flies.
"Division...... Brother, we have lost his trace...... All we could see was his cyan shadow fluttering in front of us, and suddenly an acceleration plane sank into the darkness. As we continued to get here, we saw nothing. In the face of Hart's questioning, the low-level disciples pushed each other for a long time, hesitated for a long time, and finally a slightly more daring guy spoke out and told Hart about the situation in front of him.
"Lost?" said Hart, his brow furrowed, his face so gloomy that he almost dripped.
"Hmm!" the disciple panicked and nodded quickly, but he couldn't say anything more.
"Senior Brother Gu, it's up to you!" Seeing this, Halt groaned for two breaths, and immediately took a step back and handed over this matter to a more professional person to deal with.
"Okay!" The white-faced and white-robed guy who looked like a zombie nodded slightly, cut it short in response, and then floated in front of everyone like a ghost, and stood still with his hands down.
Then, without seeing what he was doing, he saw a bolt of energy slam out of front of him and into the ground, poking a deep hole in the mud and raising a streak of dirt.
Senior Brother Gu's hand was raised at this time. A white shadow swept through the darkness in everyone's eyes, and a deep, cold ghostly aura emerged from his side. When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but feel a little chill in their hearts, as if something unclean was shaking around them.
At this moment, everyone was in a little trance, and when they used their own mental methods to dispel this trance and settle their minds, they saw "Senior Brother Gu" stiffly raise his arm, put a touch of black in front of his 10,000-year-old zombie face and sniff it gently.
"Do you feel anything?" Halt asked after seeing him close his eyes and think for a moment, then opened them again, and there was no sign of speaking, and he was a little anxious in his heart.
"The taste of innate vitality, and the powerful breath of blood. However, although this blood breath is powerful, it seems to be a little missing, and it is not a complete person......" Senior Brother Gu pondered for a while again, and opened his mouth to say the answer he smelled: "That's right, what passed through here is our target, the guy known as Li Jingxuan, he has indeed broken through the realm of forging the body." ”
"So...... Did he disappear here?" Halt's eyes widened, and he looked fiercely at the outer disciple who had come to speak to him.
"I didn't ...... That's right......" the disciple replied weakly.
He insisted on his point of view, but Hart stared at the depths of the west for a moment, but finally shook his head unexpectedly: "Maybe we are all chasing the wrong direction." If his direction is really to the West, then what is his ultimate goal? Is it true that he will go to Tibet? No, this and Tibet are completely two directions, and if he will come here, it means that he wants to go to Tibet, which is completely a rumor. His destination could not have been there...... So where is his destination? It's not the West, it's ......."
"East, out to sea, Qingming!" Senior Brother Gu's zombie-like mouth squirmed slightly, and he said these three words dryly.
"Are you going to the Blue Continent? Why...... Isn't it complete?Baicaomen?" Senior Brother Tinggu said this, Halt was slightly stunned, and then his eyes lit up, he thought for a while, and quickly sorted out Li Jingxuan's purpose and the causes and consequences of his series of actions: "He wants to regenerate his broken arm? Well, it must be like this!"
"Then ......" Hart's eyes sharpened again, and he gave an order focused and decisively: "Senior Brother Ning, the east...... Falconry. Senior Brother Qiu, you follow the eagle's guidance to catch up with that guy for me, intercept him, and we'll be there later!"
"Understood!" Senior Brother Ning, that strange-looking guy with red hair and green robe put his index finger and thumb in his mouth and blew out a long whistle, and then commanded the harrier eagle resting somewhere to flutter its wings and fly to the night sky in the east to find Li Jingxuan's figure. As it flies, it emits a sharp eagle chirping.
"Okay!" and the senior brother Qiu in Halt's mouth took a deep look at Halt, and then he unfolded his ghostly body and galloped away in the direction of the eagle's song.
Don't wonder why, on such a night, the harrier eagle can still move, and can use its keen eyes to find targets in the dense forest.
You must know that it is not an ordinary harrier eagle, but a harrier eagle that has swallowed the pill and opened its wisdom and experienced the vitality combing vein. It is several times stronger than the ordinary harrier eagle, but it does not reach the level of the demon species, it is the battle eagle of the harrier eagle, the scout eagle.
The speed of the Harrier Eagle is very fast, three points faster than the average flying spirit device. In the sky above the edge of the Holy Path, where the forbidden spirit device exists, its speed can be described as unrivaled.
It galloped through the air like a black bolt of lightning, and soon found Li Jingxuan's cyan voice leaping forward on the treetops in the darkness.
"Chirp...... Chirp......" It chirped in a deep voice, showing its master the way.
The harrier eagle's chirping was very loud, although its body was easily obscured by the night sky, but its loud chirping quickly woke up Li Jingxuan in the treetops.
"Harrier Eagle, how can there be a Harrier Eagle so late?" Li Jingxuan was slightly startled, and then thought of something: "What a wicked animal, you still work so hard so late." Aren't you afraid of lack of oxygen when you fly so high?"
At this moment, he already understood that the guy in the sky was there to deal with him, it was providing others with their own goals, guiding them to find themselves.
"It's terrible......" Li Jingxuan calmly said the situation in front of him.
As the harrier chirped above his head, his location was undoubtedly revealed, and his purpose and the route he was going to take must have been calculated by others, and his desire to leave quietly had become a failure.
"It's all because of that guy in the sky!" Li Jingxuan was full of anger when he thought about it.
What to do?
He gently snapped a branch in front of him, scattered its leaves, and divided them into several sections about a palm's width and gently held it in his hand, raising his eyes to stare at the trajectory of the harrier eagle flying above.
Circle after circle, after finding that Li Hao did not move, the harrier eagle continued to hover above his head. It hovered and chirped. It seemed to be shouting, "Come on, come on!" that guy is down there, grab him. ”
"It's a dog-legged performance. Li Hao said lightly.
He clamped a stick made from a tree branch between the palms of his hand, pulled one out of it with his thumb and forefinger, and held it like a pinch. At the moment when he looked up at the harrier eagle again, he raised his hand slightly, and a piece of wooden stick suddenly flew straight into the sky like a sharp arrow, and stabbed fiercely at the guy who was hovering in the sky.
The "......" crisis suddenly came, and I thought it was an easy journey, but Harrier Eagle suddenly exploded. It's not good for the whole eagle. The sense of crisis in its heart and the whistling sound under its feet made it want to struggle to fly away, but the sticks from below were too fast. No sooner had it made a move than the stick plunged into its chrysanthemum like lightning.
At this moment, its head swelled, and the whole eagle did not know what it felt, and forgot to flap its wings, but it fell from the sky like a fallen stone, and smashed into a certain part of the woods, making a dying cry.
"I really want to go where I shouldn't, shouldn't I say 'the king's greeting?'" Li Jingxuan thought. Li Jingxuan vaguely saw what happened to the evil beast in the sky, and at that moment he also felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and he felt a little uneasy. However, the difference between friend and foe made him quickly sober up from this emotion. It doesn't matter anymore.
Li Jingxuan, who had finished the guy above his head, continued to breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn't know if the guy was dead or not, but he was sure that the guy wouldn't be trying to embarrass him for at least a long time. After all, a master of the qi induction period can be able to hurt people by picking flowers and flying leaves. Although he hadn't practiced any real secret weapon skills, he was confident in the power generated by his instilled vitality. He believed that under that level of shock, the little guy in the sky should have a good feeling.
So, he moved on.
This time he didn't leap over the treetops, but jumped down from the trees, trampling on the soft ground full of rotting leaves. He is the strength of the Qi Induction Period, and he is using the famous Flowing Cloud Body Method of the Immortal Sect, and his speed is naturally very fast. Although the road ahead was constantly blocked by trees, he needed to twist and turn, but the strong body control and abundant vitality did not make his figure much slower than on flat ground.
"Whirring", he galloped through the gaps in the trees, and brought a series of faint dissipating afterimages behind him.
If he could, Li Jingxuan actually hoped that he would run so fast until he ran to the beach, ran to the boat, ran to the place he thought was safe, there was no enemy, no fighting, everything was dull, and it would be good to be quiet, but his hope did not come true after all......
Because in front of him, he felt an aura full of malice.
"Is it the enemy?" said Li Jingxuan. Although he still had doubts when he spoke, he had already determined in his heart that it was indeed the enemy. After all, at this time, on this night, no master of the Qi Induction Realm would casually appear in front of him.
"The one who appears in front of him must be the guy from the Ancestral Spirit Palace...... Well, it's still a person from the Qi Induction Realm, and it seems that there is about to be a fierce battle. Li Jingxuan thought so.
That's almost certain, because the guy in front has sensed himself through the qi machine and locked onto himself. He told himself clearly: "This is not the way! If you want to pass, then let's fight." ”
"It's really troublesome......" Li Jingxuan muttered softly. He is actually a person who is very afraid of trouble, and he doesn't want to get involved in an inconsequential battle, but if a battle is unavoidable, then he will be equipped early and respond to the other party with the corresponding momentum.
"Three zhang ahead!" Li Jingxuan's qi emanated, and he felt the place where the malice came from.
The other party is not far from him, but because of the distance between the trees, he can't see each other.
At this moment, Li Jingxuan slowed down his galloping pace slightly, and he gently patted the spring on the scabbard of the Qingfeng Sword exposed behind his left shoulder, and took out the sharp sword in it. He held the sword in his hand, feeling the solid and cold feeling coming from his hand, and he smiled faintly.
Li Jingxuan stepped forward, knowing that he only needed to bypass the big tree in front of him to see the other party.
However, just as he was about to turn the edge of the tree, the vigilance in his heart was great, and a green cold light suddenly rose in the darkness, like a ghostly fire quickly flying in front of Li Jingxuan. The sound of "whistling" came, and Li Jingxuan suddenly felt the coldness from the tip of his nose.
The battle has begun.
At the previous moment, if it weren't for Li Jingxuan's quick reaction and his body instinctively leaning back, I was afraid that he would have become a corpse at this time.
"People are between Bi and Yu?" The green sword blade flashed away in front of Li Jingxuan's eyes, and then there was silence, Li Jingxuan made a corresponding judgment along the position where the opponent's sword blade converged away, and made corresponding countermeasures.
As he walked along, the sword in his hand stabbed forward, and the sword was full of strength, with a buzzing sound, poking at somewhere in the darkness.
"Choke ......" Li Jingxuan's stabbing sword undoubtedly found the right target, the person on the opposite side was still in that position and did not move, in the face of the long sword that was suddenly handed to his eyes, he did not dare to be careless, and immediately raised the blade in his hand, brought up a green light to block Li Jingxuan's attack, and swung his stabbing sword.
"Sure enough, it's there!" A sword was swung away, Li Jingxuan was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was happy to find the exact location of the enemy.
At that moment, he stepped forward, the long sword in his hand shook, and the swinging long sword swept an arc in the air and then "boom", and slashed towards the faintly visible figure in the darkness again.
In the sword light that suddenly flashed like a shock, Li Jingxuan could vaguely see that he on the other side was a hooded man with a thin body, a height of about six feet three, and a green short sword. Because he kept the hood firmly in his brain, Li Jingxuan couldn't see his face clearly. I only knew that his short sword vaguely exuded an inexplicable fragrance, and it seemed to be a very dangerous poisonous sword.
"What a dangerous enemy!" Li Jingxuan thought.
At this time, the other party's figure had begun to move, and the hooded man turned sideways violently, avoiding his counterattack in a thrilling way, and his figure did not retreat but took a step forward, but with a green sword light piercing Li Jingxuan's heart.
