Chapter 103: Flanking Attack
On the battlefield, looking at the shadows behind Shangguan Xiu, as a cloud of black mist emerged, Xiao Jue's figure appeared out of thin air, he silently picked up the spirit knife in his hand, and slashed the back of Shangguan Xiu's head like lightning.
What he used was the shadow skill in the Shadow Martial Arts - Shadow Drift. The terrifying thing about Shadow Drift is that it allows the Dark Cultivator to teleporte within a certain range, and the deeper the Shadow Cultivator's cultivation, the wider the range of teleportation.
Shangguan Xiu saw that the other party's figure suddenly disappeared in the air, he already realized that it was not good, and when Xiao Jue appeared behind him, he leaned forward and quickly lowered his body.
Hearing a thud, the spirit knife swept above his head, Shangguan Xiu broke off and swept a shot back.
Whew, Shangguan Xiu's sweeping shot only hit a cloud of black mist, where is Xiao Jue's figure in the air?
Suddenly, he felt that the evil wind under the horse was not good, Shangguan Xiu didn't even think about it, and his body sitting on the horse flew out. The moment he moved away, he heard a snort, and a spirit knife from the bottom up cut the horse's belly, cutting the war horse into two pieces, and the sword light that appeared at first glance soared into the sky. In the blood mist sprayed by the war horse, a black shadow shot out. I saw that Xiao Jue had already covered his spirit armor, but his spirit armor was pure black, exuding a black luster.
Xiao Jue didn't expect that his inevitable knife could be dodged by Shangguan Xiu, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, his body flickered, and he chased after Shangguan Xiu with an arrow, the latter's figure had just landed, and his knife also stabbed straight over.
Shangguan Xiu laughed, shook the gun and stabbed outward, bounced the spirit knife that Xiao Jue stabbed away, and then, with the gun in both hands, he stabbed forward three times.
These three shots stabbed out, stabbing Xiao Jue again, and the tip of the spear only pierced a cloud of black mist. Xiao Jue cast a shadow drift, appeared in the shadows behind Shangguan Xiu, and stabbed the knife in his hand into the back of his heart.
I didn't see Shangguan Xiu stepping forward, he didn't even move when he stood on the ground with his feet, but the person moved forward more than a meter away, just letting Xiao Jue's knife go.
This time, the look of surprise in Xiao Jue's eyes was even heavier, and he couldn't help but gasp, how could Shangguan Xiu's body style be so weird?
Shangguan Xiu, who moved forward, stepped on the ground with one foot, his body was like a whirlwind, and his feet drew an arc-shaped scratch on the ground, flashing from Xiao Jue's front to his back, and the spirit spear in his hand smashed into the back of the opponent's head.
He's fast, and Xiao is never slow. Hearing a snap, Shangguan Xiu's spirit spear smashed on the ground, and then looked at Xiao Jue, and then flashed behind Shangguan Xiu, slashing three times in a row.
Shangguan Xiu stepped out of the instantaneous wind step, dodging the opponent's three knives, and at the same time, he stabbed back with a shot, and at the same time, he cast spiritual pressure.
Spiritual pressure is a powerful weapon to restrain the shadow drift of the dark spirit cultivator, if the cultivation of the two sides is similar, in the case of one side casting the spirit pressure, the shadow drift of the dark spirit cultivator will not be able to be cast.
Xiao Jue's cultivation is on par with Shangguan Xiu's, and after Shangguan Xiu casts the spiritual pressure, he can no longer use shadow drift to dodge Shangguan Xiu's killing moves. Xiao Jue lifted the spirit knife in his hand and forcibly received a shot from Shangguan Xiu.
When the tip of the spirit spear pierced the body of the spirit knife, a loud bang broke out, and then look at Xiao Jue, by the impact of a shot, the person rose into the air, in the air, Xiao Jue quickly put the knife into the sheath, took off a black spirit bow on his back, and with the other hand pulled out two tungsten gold arrows in the quiver on the back waist, twisted the bow and arrows, and shot at Shangguan Xiu.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue is not only good at using knives, but also archery. Shangguan Xiu was just stunned for a moment, and the two spirit arrows that flew down from mid-air had already approached him.
Shangguan Xiu used his strength to swing the spirit spear in his hand outward, hum, his shot was actually empty, and the two spirit arrows were about to be swept by the spirit spear at the moment when they were about to be swept by the spirit spear, and they both sank incredibly, flying forward against the ground, and shot Shangguan Xiu's legs instead.
This change made everyone present change their faces greatly, even Dai Yu's heart sank, every time he saw Xiao Jue's archery skills, he would shudder in his heart.
The archery skills of the Huayu faction have really reached the point of being superb, and they can be called unique in the world!
If you are someone else, I am afraid that you will not be able to dodge these two spirit arrows that change direction no matter what, but how can Shangguan Xiu be an ordinary person?
As a wind cultivator, his ability to control himself was too strong. He let out a loud shout, and his body moved out horizontally against the ground, and the two spirit arrows followed Shangguan Xiu's figure as if they had been given life with eyes.
Shangguan Xiu moved a few meters away, and then slammed the spirit spear in his hand to the ground, and heard a crisp click, and the two spirit arrows flying close to the ground were slammed to the ground by the spear. Shangguan Xiu didn't have time to catch his breath when he heard an exclamation from around him, and at the same time, he felt that the evil wind behind him was not good.
He bent down and exhaled, a cold light swept above his head, Xiao Jue took advantage of Shangguan Xiu's dodge of the spirit arrow and the gap of the spiritual pressure to suddenly decrease, and once again cast a shadow drift, flashed behind him, and attacked a killing move.
His style of play makes people have a sense of powerlessness, when fighting with him in close combat, he casts shadow drift, and his body seems to turn into an invisible cloud of black smoke, disappearing from time to time, erratic, it is difficult to hurt him, if he uses spiritual pressure to limit his shadow drift, he takes the opportunity to retreat away, casting spirit arrow attacks, when resisting spirit arrows, he will see the opportunity, and suddenly flash to the front with shadow drift, and suddenly hit the killer, in his style of play, even if it is a cultivator who cultivates above him, it is difficult for him to be his opponent.
It's just that this time Xiao Jue also met a nemesis, Shangguan Xiu, who is a wind system spirit cultivator, even if his body style is not as weird as the shadow drift, but it is not much different, several times Xiao Jue thought that he could slash Shangguan Xiu to death, but he dodged his own killing moves without danger.
After this series of battles, the two of them had some confidence in each other's strength, and the expressions on their faces began to become solemn.
At this moment, a horse rushed out of the Huya Pass City, and a wind soldier who rode a horse came to Luo Ren and the others, and whispered: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, there is a soldier under the banner of the Ba tribe in the west of the city, and the number is no less than two thousand!"
"Huh?" Hearing the news from the wind soldiers, the heads of Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, and Ding Leng all buzzed, the more than 2,000 rebels outside the east city have not been solved, and more than 2,000 soldiers have come outside the west city.
After only a short while, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of the four people. Luo Ren said to the wind soldier: "You go back first, tell Zhan Xiong, immediately send a thousand brothers to the west city, be sure to keep the west of the city without loss!"
"Yes, sir!" replied the wind-soldier, and hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran back into the city.
Watching the wind soldiers run back to the city, Luo Ren's brows furrowed, and when they turned their eyes to look at the battlefield, Shangguan Xiu and Xiao Jue had already fought together again. The battle between the two of them is actually more like a duel between the Instantaneous Wind Step and the Shadow Drift.
Shangguan Xiu seemed to turn into a whirlwind, running like a swimming dragon, it can be said that the dragon sees the head but does not see the end, and Xiao Jue is like a ghost, sometimes disappearing, sometimes flashing out, making it impossible to guess where he is at all.
Just when the two of them were inseparable, Luo Ren suddenly pulled his neck and shouted, "Brother Xiu! Brother Xiu! It's time for breakfast!"
The evenly matched battle required concentration, and Luo Ren pulled his neck and yelled, which also affected the two people in the battle.
Shangguan Xiu shook a shot, his body floated back, and he jumped out of the circle, he waved his hand to Xiao Jue on the opposite side, signaling him to wait first, and then, he turned his head and asked, "Ah Ren, what are you shouting?"
Luo Ren gritted his teeth and smiled, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Brother Xiu, it's not early, it's time for breakfast!"
Shangguan Xiu laughed when he heard this, and was about to speak, but his heart moved, he felt that something was wrong, Luo Ren was not an indiscriminate person, and he suddenly called himself to breakfast at this time, and he must have something important to say to himself.
He said to Xiao Jue opposite: "Brother Xiao, you rest here first, and I'll go back!"
Xiao Jue looked up and smiled, and said, "After only playing for a while, do you still need to rest?" said so, but only he knew that the underwear behind his back was almost soaked with sweat.
Shangguan Xiu didn't say anything more, poked the spirit spear in his hand to the ground hard, and then turned around and walked backwards. Leaving the weapon behind means that he is temporarily leaving the scene, not fleeing in a cowardice.
He walked back to Luo Ren and the others, took the scarf handed over by Ding Leng, and asked curiously while wiping the beads of sweat on his face, "What's the matter?"
Luo Ren turned over and dismounted, walked to Shangguan Xiu, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, there is a group of soldiers from outside Xicheng, under the banner of the Ba tribe, and the number is more than two thousand. ”
Shangguan Xiu was stunned.
Luo Ren hurriedly said: "Brother Xiu, now our situation is not good! There are enemy troops in front and behind, we are enemies on both sides, this time, I am afraid that it will be ......" He wanted to say that it was difficult to escape, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.
Shangguan Xiu blinked, and suddenly he looked up and laughed, he looked back at Xiao Jue, and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, I'll go back to the city for dinner first, and I'll go back when I go, stay here, and fight again later, Brother Xiao thinks it's good?"
In the battle with Shangguan Xiu, Xiao Jue did not have an advantage, and it is really unknown who will lose and who will win in the end! Xiao Jue nodded and replied loudly: "I'll wait for you here!"
"Haha-" Shangguan Xiu laughed again, arched his hand to Xiao Jue, and walked back to the city with Luo Ren and the others.
They passed through the city gate, and the wind army was about to close the city gate, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "No need!
Shangguan Xiu stopped the soldiers who were closing the city gate, turned his head and said to Luo Ren again: "Go find someone who can speak immediately!"
"Brother Xiu, I will!" Peng Fei shouted and walked down the city wall.
Shangguan Xiu nodded, beckoned to him and said, "Follow me to Xicheng!"
Luo Ren and the others looked at Shangguan Xiu, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and asked cautiously: "Brother Xiu thinks that he can repel the soldiers in the west of the city in just one meal?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "Two thousand soldiers, let alone a meal, even if it is a day, we may not be able to repel them!"
"That'...... Brother Xiu also ......"
Shangguan Xiu smiled meaningfully and said, "Since we can't retreat, let's welcome the soldiers into the city!"
"Huh?" Hearing his words, Luo Ren and the others' jaws almost dropped.
