Chapter 37: The Battle of the Dead

The sword light crisscrossed the forest, and the fire dragon flew in it. The three figures advanced in the chase one after the other, and from time to time one or two sounds of gold and iron intersoned.

Li Jingxuan's current situation is very bad, and the clothes on his body are already torn to the point that they are not much better than rags. Under the moonlight that occasionally slipped down from the forest, Hart and Ning Jue, who were chasing him behind, could clearly see the scars on his body and some traces of smoke and fire.

It's a result of their work, it's just that they're not very happy with it. After all, such a scar looked terrifying on Li Jingxuan's body, but it didn't really hurt him.

"It's a skin wound, it's a pity......" Hart sighed.

The giant sword in his hand stabbed forward, and the powerful vitality attached to it and then volatilized out, like a sharp arrow straight into Li Jingxuan's back.

Then, Li Jingxuan avoided it. It was as if he had a pair of eyes on his back, but his body was blurred for a while, and he let Halt stab his vitality. Powerful and fierce vitality passed through his cloud-like figure, cutting through the trees in front of him and plowing a not-so-wide corridor for several people.

Although he did not intend to do so, the end result was similar.

"What a damn thing...... How did he dodge my sword?" said Hart, frowning.

He was sure that Li Jingxuan didn't turn to look at him, and his qi also contracted, only surrounding him less than six feet around him, but......

"How could he dodge my attack in such a moment?" Halt was puzzled.

He was a little entangled in this question, and then turned his head to look at Ning Jue beside him. At this time, Ning Jue was running with him, he didn't launch a new attack, but just controlled a fire dragon to follow Li Jingxuan's side closely, attacking it from time to time.

Of course, such an attack did not work. Like Hart's attack, his attack was dodged by Li Jingxuan the moment before it was on the verge of Li Jingxuan's body.

Although Li Jingxuan's dodge was very thrilling, as long as there was a slight mistake, he would be doomed, but he did accurately grasp every dodge node, and successfully dodged the attack from the outside world, whether it was Hart or Ning Jue's.

"Damn...... This guy seems to be growing. Well, rapid growth...... Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of body style, he has grown very quickly. At Halt's side, Ning Jue whispered to him.

"That's true, is this guy borrowing us to cultivate his body?" Hearing Ning Jue say this, Halt was slightly stunned, and then became furious.

"No...... It doesn't seem to be like that, if it's just a practice of the body. With his personality, he would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation. That man, although it was only the first time I had fought him head-on, I knew his personality, and he was not a crazy person. So ......" Ning Jue said here, pausing slightly: "...... It was we who persecuted him that awakened his inner instinct. At this moment, he just wanted to break through. ”

"Breaking through ...... ...... so you have aggravated your body style?"

"Let him go for the time being, don't put too much pressure on him, hide in the shadows, and then give a surprise attack!" Ning Jue said in a low voice.

"No, it won't work...... Tonight, we killed Qiu Zijun and Bello, both of whom were disciples of Ashibo. If we kill Li Jingxuan right here, we can still hide everything and put the blame on him, but if we let him run away here, think about the consequences. Qiu Zijun said that he was killed by Li Jingxuan after all. But Bello, he died at the hands of Senior Brother Gu. We must kill Li Jingxuan tonight!" Halt roared in a low voice, "All for our safety!"

"Okay, it's all for our safety!" Hearing what Halt said, Ning Jue could only agree, and he asked Halt: "Then what should we do now?

"Follow him, follow him closely...... Don't let him rest, don't let him recover, wear off his energy little by little. He's just a novice who has just advanced to the Qi Drawing Realm, and we're two Qi Channeling Intermediate level veterans. Two to one, and a small step stronger than him...... I think we can kill it!" Halt conveyed his battle plan to Ning Jue.

"Can it only be like this?" Ning Jue was a little dissatisfied, his short and fat body with red hair and green robe swayed with a snort, and whispered about his unwillingness.

"Or else...... What can you do?" Hart's voice showed the helplessness in his heart: "We've done our best!"

Yes, I tried my best! At least, both Hart and Ning Jue used their strongest means against Li Jingxuan. None of them released water, but they couldn't take Li Jingxuan like this. They are also very helpless about this, but there is nothing they can do.

Don't say that they still have hole cards, but such hole cards are used to turn the tables when they are in a desperate situation, and they are the last and final means. They can't and can't use this kind of means to use this method against Li Jingxuan here. Chasing and killing Li Jingxuan is just a task for them, they can play their own calculations and try their best to kill him, but they will not expose their hole cards for Li Jingxuan. After all, they're not there yet.

Thus, the pursuit continued......

For Li Jingxuan, who was walking in front and being pursued by them, this was also the beginning of a suffering.

The footsteps of chasing kept sounding in the rear, and the attacks launched from time to time made Li Jingxuan have to concentrate on dodging. Because his speed can't completely shake them off, he ...... He had to endure their tracking, their sneak attack.

Running all the time, can't sleep, can't eat. Although the vitality in his body has not been exhausted under the operation of the Liuyun Body Method, and his own body has maintained considerable vitality under the nourishment of the vitality species, what about his spirit? Li Jingxuan, who has been full of calculations for three days and three nights from the beginning to now, is tired and tight at this time, and a strong sense of distress is entrenched in his heart, so that his head is still dizzy and groggy.

"Three days...... It was a horrible three days. Li Jingxuan thought with a headache. He was a little irritable, after all, unlike the people behind him, he didn't have the elixir in his pocket that could restore his spirit. So, from yesterday afternoon, when he was first tired, to now, he has obviously held on to a certain point.

If you go down again, Li Jingxuan didn't dare to guarantee when it would be, and she would run and run and fall asleep on the ground.

"It can't go on like this!" Li Jingxuan thought.

The battle between life and death has not been experienced for long, but the combination of some of the "wise sayings" he heard in his previous life and some things he has encountered in this life makes him almost understand what he should do now.

"Anyway...... These two bastards who have been pestering themselves must be dealt with. Li Jingxuan thought so, stopped at the moment, quickly turned around, and plunged into the dense forest branches on the upper right.

He didn't want to use the dense forest branches to get rid of the opponent, but to use the complex environment formed by the dense branches to fight the opponent.

Where the branches are intertwined, swords, greatswords, and staves are not suitable weapons for combat. They're all too slender, too huge.

This is the world of small blades, daggers, fists are the kings here......

However, whether it is Li Jingxuan, or Hart, or Ning Jue, none of them have such a blade in their hands.

Yes, it is not good to be stronger, but only worse.

Compared to Li Jingxuan's long sword, Hart's giant sword and Ning Jue's staff seemed to be more suitable for complex environments. This is where Li Jingxuan seeks to gain an advantage over them.

“...... Fighting in an environment that is not in your favor, it's nothing. As long as you can guarantee that the other person is less comfortable with such an environment than you are, it's fine. Li Jingxuan thought as he leaped among the treetops.

At this moment, he no longer paid attention to the question of direction, but just looked at where the trunk was thicker and more suitable for waiting for the battle to definitely break out, so he went over there.

Don't think about whether the other person will catch up or not. After all, the enemy has been chasing them for so long, and they want to take down their hearts, absolutely certain. They won't give up on themselves no matter what. So......

Li Jingxuan's head glanced back slightly. Sure enough, he saw the two men leaping into the treetops.

The chase unfolds in the treetops. This time, under Li Jingxuan's deliberate guidance, the three of them gradually rushed to the depths of the mountains and forests. Came to a place where the branches were intertwined.

Here, Halt and Ning Jue saw Li Jingxuan's gradual slowdown.

"Haha...... You finally don't have the strength!" Ning Jue laughed, stepped forward, and stretched out the staff in his hand, but it was a spell fire dragon that was reborn, and rushed towards Li Jingxuan again with a fierce momentum.

"Hmph......" It was not Li Jingxuan's counterattack that responded to him, but his cold snort and his figure leaping forward again.

Ning Jue could see that the other party still wanted to escape from his pursuit as much as possible.

But what's the use of that? You might as well stop obediently and let my dragon devour you, and suffer less sin!

Die early, overlive! What's so bad about that?

He felt that Li Jingxuan was purely blindly tossing, which not only consumed his own strength, but also affected himself.

"Forget it, I'm still a little bit of an adult, and I'll send you to death. Ning Jue thought. At that moment, he increased the output of spiritual power, making the fire dragon under his control a little stronger, and pounced on Li Jingxuan at a faster speed.

The fire dragon pounced forward, and Li Jingxuan leaned forward.

seemed to feel the threat to his life, and Li Jingxuan's speed of rushing forward was also very fast. He was about to rush out with an acceleration, and Ning Jue's control of the fire dragon was already in range.

"How can this work...... Ning Jue was in a hurry, and before he had time to say hello to Hart, he accelerated and chased after him. He was the first to shoot, and he didn't want to miss such a good opportunity to get a head.

Liuzhang ......

Wuzhang ......

......

Sanzhang ......

Ning Jue was also desperate, the faster he chased, and gradually caught up with Li Jingxuan's galloping figure.

At this moment, he didn't notice that he and Halt had separated about three feet. At this time, in his eyes, there was only Li Jingxuan who was desperately moving forward and the fire dragon that was controlled by himself and was about to collide with Li Jingxuan.

"Quick...... It's just a little bit there!" Seeing that the fire dragon was only less than three feet away from Li Jingxuan, Ning Jue's face showed a satisfied smile. At that moment, he once again increased the output of his spiritual power, trying to make his fire dragon a little faster, so that he could bite Li Jingxuan's body fiercely beyond the three-foot space.

Feeling the scorching heat coming from behind, Li Jingxuan suddenly became anxious.

He didn't want to be hit by a fire dragon and turn into a torch.

As he ran, he raised his eyes and caught sight of the erected trunk of a giant tree in front of him. Now he had an idea......

He shook his left shoulder vigorously, and the empty sleeve that had been pinned to his waist was thrown out like a whip. "Whew......" The tattered sleeve suddenly crossed the space and wrapped firmly around the main trunk of the giant tree.

At this moment, Li Jingxuan continued to move forward, and at the moment when the pulling force of his left sleeve came, his steps turned, and the whole person was like a flying catapult tied by a rope, and he turned around bit by bit with the main trunk as the center, but he turned back from the other direction, facing Ning Jue.

He kind of turned around now. However, his speed wasn't much slower by turning. It's even a little faster because of the centrifugal force.

At this time, he was facing Ning Jue, and when he saw the surprise on Ning Jue's face, he immediately smiled coldly, and the long sword in his hand turned to Ning Jue and handed out a move "The galaxy is surging".

The silver sword light lit up in the dim forest again, and countless sword qi surged in this sword momentum like a galaxy tilting.

It's nothing, it's a killer stunt, but it's also a powerful sword power that shouldn't be underestimated.

What's more, with the relative speed of Li Jingxuan and Ning Jue at this time, Ning Jue didn't have time to dodge this move at all.

"Damn it......" Facing the fierce sword light that rushed towards him, feeling the danger contained in it, Ning Jue suddenly became anxious.

At this moment, he did feel the fear of death coming.

What to do?

Ning Jue gritted his teeth, but for the sake of his own life, he had to activate the hole cards he used to save his life.

I saw that he took out an object from his arms and smashed it directly at Li Jingxuan, who was rushing with a sword, and at the same time quickly pulled back, regardless of the reversal of the vitality around his body caused by this, which directly triggered the power contained in that thing.

Suddenly, a huge fireball with a diameter of three feet exploded slightly over the trees in the forest, and the powerful power it contained turned into a violent wind and threw away the three people closest to it.

Li Jingxuan was thrown in an inexplicable direction, while Ning Jue fell miserably into Halt's arms.

The scorching breath passed through Halt's face, and the strong gale made Halt involuntarily close his eyes.

After a while, the fireball was annihilated. The originally dense and intertwined canopy of trees had been destroyed by the powerful force of the explosion. It suddenly became much more empty, and Hart and Ning Jue, who fell from the treetops, felt the comfort of this emptiness.

"You used your hole cards?" asked Halt as he let go of Ning Jue and healed him with one hand on his shoulder.

"Well, the sword he turned around with just now was too terrifying...... I'm just scared. So ......" Ning Jue said with some embarrassment, and then he felt sorry again: "I still feel a little bit of a loss by exchanging his life for a flame bead that can seriously injure a master of the Yuan Realm." ”

"Don't think about it so much...... After all, I couldn't save the sword just now. Halt shook his head slightly: "Let's go, go and see his corpse...... I don't think he would have survived in the face of such an explosion. ”

"Okay!" Ning Jue nodded yes.

He followed Hart forward, and soon saw a one-armed body shaped like charcoal dozens of feet away.

"Looks like he's really hanging!" Ning Jue sighed.

He didn't step forward to test the other party's breathing, but just stood in place and used the gas machine to test the other party, but found that the other party didn't react at all.

"Hmm...... It's okay to hang up. This matter has finally come to an end. Hart nodded slightly.

He stepped forward and took his saber from Li Jingxuan's charred hand, and then turned around. He's going back and doesn't want to stay here any longer.

"Wait...... Aren't you going to bring his body back?" Ning Jue asked.

"No, he's more or less a warrior. I don't want his body to be insulted. Let's go, as long as there is this sword as evidence, it will be enough. Hart said.

"Okay! It's going to rain anyway. Ning Jue nodded heavily.

At this moment, he looked up at the sky. At this time, the sky was already overcast.
