Volume 6 Heavenly Storm and Clouds_Chapter 213 Chasing the Wind and Shadows
Sima Xuan, who was leaning on the tree and was drowsy, always maintained his sobriety as a martial artist. For a warrior, rest is necessary, and constant vigilance is also necessary.
At night, the woods are quiet and scary, except for the nightlife-loving insects. Sun Erlei wrapped his clothes, and filled some dry branches into the fire in front of him, then raised his head and looked at Sima Xuan not far from the fire. At this moment, Sima Xuan had already fallen asleep with the crackling sound of firewood. Encountering the Black Dragon Nabo people during the day, for Sima Xuan, they are not very powerful characters, and it does not take much physical strength to solve them, but it comes from the intuition of the martial artist to tell him that tonight will not be a peaceful night, and he is willing to rest and recover his strength.
On moonless nights, I don't know how far time has slipped. Sun Erlei didn't know when he closed his eyes, the firewood in front of him had burned out, and the faint light of the fire seemed to indicate something. Finally, the last spark was gone, and the woods were completely covered in darkness.
The endless darkness soon swallowed up the still warm firewood, and after engulfing the fire, the darkness began to rage wildly towards the surrounding area, as if there was no longer an object to fear. Sun Erlei, who was closest to the firewood, was instantly overwhelmed by the darkness, and after engulfing Sun Erlei, the darkness swept away like an overwhelming sweep towards Sima Xuan.
However, just when the darkness was about to touch the corner of Sima Xuan's clothes, Sima Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes were shining even in the dark. Seeing that Sima Xuan opened his eyes, as if he was frightened, he quickly retreated backwards, retreating to a place far away from Sima Xuan, surging uneasily.
Sima Xuan slowly stood up from under the tree, his eyes unblinking at the darkness that was only a foot away from him, but he laughed softly: "Hehe...... Dare to ask who your Excellency is, why do you hide in the darkness and dare not show your true identity?"
The surging darkness heard Sima Xuan's words, and began to beat wildly, and then it quieted down, and began to retreat to both sides in a regular manner.
Seeing that the darkness began to recede, a smile appeared on the corner of Sima Xuan's mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: As expected, there is really an ambush in this wood, but I don't know how Sun Erlei is now, why can't he sense his existence? Sima Xuan thought so in his heart, and his eyes never left the darkness in front of him.
In a short time, the darkness receded completely, revealing the figure of a man who was also dressed in dark clothes, and he was deep in darkness, making it even more difficult to see his appearance when there was no light. Seeing this, Sima Xuan smiled and said, "Your Excellency is very tasteful, I don't know if you can come out and see it?"
What Sima Xuan said when he came out to see him meant to let that person out of the darkness, let him see his appearance, and know who was going to attack him.
However, it was a pity that the one who was in the dark didn't care about Sima Xuan at all, and replied in an extremely hoarse voice: "Dead people still talk so much nonsense!"
When Sima Xuan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and said with a secret smile: This guy is also direct, and he actually showed his intention so quickly. Thinking of this, Sima Xuan said with a smile: "I didn't expect Your Excellency to be so refreshing. It is true that the dead will save a lot of trouble, but it is difficult to say who will die and who will live!"
After that, Sima Xuan was also unceremonious, the real qi in his body swirled, converging on his right fist, and he performed a thunderous instantaneous footwork under his feet, and before the words he said reached the ears of the figure in the dark, the right fist mixed with Gangfeng had already blasted down towards the face of the figure.
The figure in the darkness let out a cold laugh: "Hehe......"
It vanished into thin air, and with him the darkness that swirled around his body. Sima Xuan was a little surprised when he saw the blow in the air, but a smile instantly appeared on his face, because he was able to clearly locate the position of the figure in the darkness through his perception. At this moment, the figure was on his right side, locking the position of the figure, and Sima Xuan swept with his fist. The windswept wind whirred, and Sima Xuan, who made this blow, clearly heard the sound of his punch. If it hits a figure in the dark, it can't make its brain burst, and I'm afraid it will pass out directly.
However, as in the previous attack, there was no sound but the wind, and the figure had disappeared once again. That is, in the blink of an eye, Sima Xuan once again sensed the position of the figure, this time the figure was on his left. However, Sima Xuan didn't attack again, he took a few steps back, and looked at the figure in the darkness with a serious expression.
After the two attacks just now, Sima Xuan discovered one thing, that is, the moment when the figure dodged his attack and disappeared, he couldn't perceive it, even if he could sense before and after the figure disappeared, but only the moment when the figure disappeared was what he really needed to perceive, and it was also the time period when his attack could be effective. If it was a period of time that he couldn't perceive, no matter how many times he attacked, the result would be that he would throw a fist at the air.
Seeing that Sima Xuan stopped attacking, the figure let out a hehehe laugh and said, "Hehe...... What's wrong? Why didn't you attack? The momentum just now was very good! It's a pity that it's a little bit worse...... Since you don't attack, then it's my turn!" As he spoke, the darkness around the figure surged again, and Sima Xuan's face showed a grim expression, he knew very well in his heart that he could sense that only when the figure was still and did not move, once the figure launched an attack, he was afraid that he would be powerless to fight back.
Just as Sima Xuan was thinking about countermeasures, the blank time period of perception appeared again. The woods are pitch black, and it is impossible to see objects clearly with the naked eye, not to mention a martial artist of Sima Xuan's realm, how can he rely on the naked eye to observe the opponent's movements when he fights!
The feeling of not being able to lock down your opponent's position is indescribable, it is a feeling of fear that comes from the bottom of your heart, not knowing what will happen in the next moment, and everything you have in the hands of your opponent.
The moment when the figure disappeared was actually very short, but it was an incomparably terrifying long time for Sima Xuan. Finally, the figure was once again exposed to Sima Xuan's perception range, and at the same time, he also felt a violent impact from his chest accompanied by a burning sensation.
The strong impact made Sima Xuan lose control of his body, and his clenched teeth could not stop the blood gushing up from his chest. The huge pain in his body made Sima Xuan instantly think of a way to attack the figure, he frantically urged the true qi in his body that was constantly surging by the attack of the figure, and suddenly raised his left hand to lock the arm of the figure in the darkness that smashed on his chest, and punched the figure several times in a row.
The figure in the darkness didn't expect Sima Xuan to react like this, and a trace of panic appeared on his face. However, the panic didn't last long, and the hoarse laughter of the figure once again came into Sima Xuan's ears, "Do you think you can hit me like this?"
