Chapter 44: The Shadow of Death

The body shrank in the jungle, and with the help of the terrain, Xuantian was just able to take in the forest col below into his field of vision.

His gaze vaguely swept across the quiet forest without the slightest noise, if it weren't for Hai Lao's reminder, I'm afraid that he would have followed Zhao Mo into the small forest, and he wouldn't have found those hidden ambushes.

To the east of this cluster of small forests, there is a cliff about dozens of zhang high, and if you sweep along the west, you can faintly see the vague outline of Wuyang City, from the topography, this small forest, it seems that it is still a necessary road to the west of Wuyang City, and it is no wonder that the people of the Zhao family chose to ambush here.

The body is like a corpse, lying quietly in the bushes, Xuantian's breathing is directly compressed from the normal state on weekdays to once a minute, after all, in the small forest below, there is a soul-shaping powerhouse, if it weren't for Hai Lao's secret help, Xuantian's strength alone would not be enough to hide under the other party's nose so safely.

After Zhao Mo and his party entered the small forest, this somewhat remote area fell into extreme silence, and even those flying birds trembled and shrank their bodies in the nest because they sensed the little killing intent spreading in the forest, not daring to make the slightest sound.

The eerie atmosphere of tranquility lingered in this area for a long time......

Xuantian squinted his eyes slightly, his whole body was almost lying on the ground, and at a certain moment, the fingers touching the ground suddenly trembled slightly, his eyes suddenly opened, and he raised his head and moved his gaze to the path leading to Wuyang City.

There, there were faintly several figures rushing towards them.

"Are you here...... muttered in a low voice, Xuantian's eyes gradually became much sharper, and on the road in the distance, five figures were speeding towards the other side of the path like chasing the stars and the moon.

"Crunch......" With the louder and louder fluttering sound, a slight bowstring pull suddenly sounded in the quiet little forest.

At the end of the line of sight, the rushing figure gradually emerged, and after seeing that the leader was a black-clothed and masked person, Xuantian, who was hidden in the jungle, couldn't help but jump in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "These people from the Zhao family really have the idea of fighting that martial art again...... However, aren't they afraid of the retaliation of the people of the Ancient City of Desire? since the latter has the strength to compete for such treasures, then the power of the Ancient City of Desire must not be weak, right?"

"Presumably, the aura of the Soul Shaping Realm in the forest below should be the head of the Zhao family, since even he has been dispatched, it is natural that he has no intention of letting these people leave, and as long as no one goes back alive, the people of the Ancient City of Desire can only be furious, after all, in this continent, this kind of half-way killing happens every day. ”

"None of them are left? Hearing this, Xuantian grinned, but he was not too surprised, this kind of thing, once the news is revealed, it will be a death battle between the two forces, and it also involves treasures comparable to earth-level martial arts, there must be no room for reconciliation.

After all, at such a sky-high cost, it is absolutely impossible for the people of the Ancient City of Desire to let it go down in vain.

Five figures crossed the path in an instant, and a moment later, the quiet little forest appeared in their field of vision.

The man in black who was the leader, in the midst of his body movements, his eyes under the hat scanned the surroundings solemnly, although his strength had reached the Soul Shaping Realm, he still had to be very cautious about this martial art.

His eyes swept around, and suddenly the eyes of the man in black slammed, and his swept body landed on a tree.

With his palms erected, the man gestured, and the four people behind him hurriedly stopped their bodies, staring at the woods in front of them with slight palpitations.

At this moment, the leading man in black, the palm of his hand condensed, and finally formed an egg-sized ball of light, which was immediately thrown towards the depths of the jungle, and the light group swept very fast, and in a blink of an eye, it went deep into the depths of the jungle, and then exploded violently, and at the same time, the light suddenly rose in the area where the light cluster exploded, illuminating a region.

At the moment when the light lit up, the black-clothed man's cheeks changed suddenly, and he shouted, "Be careful! There is an ambush inside!"

"Haha, it is worthy of being the 'Five Masters of the Soul Iron Gang' in the Ancient City of Desire, and it is really thoughtful. As soon as the shouts of the man in black fell, in the forest, a loud laugh like a night owl was also heard at the same time, and immediately, the majestic aura suddenly rose to the sky, and a blood-red shadow shot out from the forest, and finally landed steadily on the tip of a big tree, with slightly red eyes, with a cold and gloomy color that could not be concealed, swept towards the black-clothed people outside the forest.

"Zhao Tianyin?"

Seeing the tall man in a red robe like blood, the face of the man in black changed greatly, and he immediately shouted inwardly: "What do you mean by this? Do you want to declare war on my Soul Iron Gang?!"

"Haha, I don't want to declare war, but I'm interested in the martial arts in the hands of the five masters!" The red-robed man smiled, but in his smile, there was a touch of Sen Ran who couldn't hide it no matter what.

"Evacuate! Everyone evacuates, as long as one person escapes, report the matter to my eldest brother immediately!" Hearing the other party's mention of martial arts, the hearts of the black-clothed people suddenly sank, knowing that there was no room for discussion in this matter, even if he handed over the martial arts, then Zhao Tianyin in front would let him go?

So he didn't hesitate at the moment, he drank vigorously, and immediately stepped on the trunk of the tree with the soles of his feet, and his body took the lead in turning into a shadow, flashing towards the jungle on the side of the road.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

When the black-clothed people scattered and retreated, in the forest, suddenly there was a large sound of breaking wind, and countless arrows glowing with cold light, with fierce strength, shot out overwhelmingly, and under such an endless arrow momentum, the black-clothed man had to slow down, and his body flashed to avoid the arrows.

In the middle of the road, the five black-clothed people who had previously scattered in all directions were forced to shrink together again, and at this time, in the dark forests on both sides of the road, nearly thirty Zhao family warriors dressed in red robes and armed with bloody knives were pouring out.

These warriors' faces were indifferent, like puppets, but in their eyes, they were also full of gloomy and violent with Zhao Tianyin.

"Five masters, hand over your martial arts, and I will take your life! Otherwise, die!"

On the tip of the tree, the figure of the red-robed man flashed ghostly, and instantly appeared on the trunk of a tree in the encirclement, and the eerie cheers lingered over the road.

"Kill!"

For Zhao Tianyin's gloomy cheers, the five masters did not hesitate at all, their faces were gloomy, and the male Yuan Force surged out from his body, and the strong aura directly shook all the leaves and debris on the ground nearby. Looking at its momentum, I am afraid that its strength has reached the level of Xiaocheng in the Soul Shaping Realm.

And under this shout, the four black-clothed powerhouses beside him also choked, pulled out their weapons, and their yuan power surged, and Guan Qi's strength actually reached the realm of soul summoning, and two of them reached the peak level of the realm of soul summoning.

The Zhao family and the five masters came into contact with each other at the right time, and a big battle quickly began.

The soldiers of the Zhao family, between the fierce slashing knives, were full of bloody and bloody aura, and there was no sound, and several strong men in black also had gloomy faces, and the yuan force in their bodies was running to the extreme, and the weapons covered by the yuan force brought a hissing sound that pierced the air, and stabbed the Zhao family warriors all over the body with a tricky and vicious stab.

The strong men on both sides are not mediocre, not only strong, but also obviously well-trained, both sides rushed to kill, although there was no huge sound, but there was a hidden life and death struggle, from time to time there was a sharp weapon piercing into the flesh that the subtle muffled sound, and then blood spilled.

The fifth master's face was cold, holding a Fang Tian halberd, and with each swing, it would slip through the neck of a Zhao family warrior, and then bring up a blood mark and a thin spurt of blood, and his methods could not be violated.

On the avenue, there were more and more corpses, most of them were members of the Zhao family, and only one man in black died under the desperate struggle of the Zhao family's blood guards.

The eyes were extremely cold and killed a blood guard, and the eyes of the five masters swept around, and his heart sank slightly, because he found that Zhao Tianyin in the distance was holding his arms with a playful expression, staring at himself firmly, and that kind of gaze was like Mao looking at a mouse.

With his eyes rolling slightly, the five masters pulled out a halberd at the black-clothed man who pounced, and his body swept towards the rear with the help of the power of the shock.

"Bang!"

The majestic energy slammed in the rear, and the face of the five masters changed suddenly, and he saw an old man quickly swept out of the bushes, and slapped it fiercely at the five masters, and the faces of the five masters changed suddenly, and a palm was hurriedly slapped out, and the palms were in contact with each other, and the five masters made a muffled snort, and fell back with a pale face.

"Haha, the fifth master, the master said, today, no one wants to leave!" On the trunk of the tree, the red shadow flickered, and Zhao Tianyin's blood-red armor was extremely dazzling, and he could even faintly smell the smell of blood in the wind.

"Soul Shaping Realm Dacheng?" Looking at Zhao Tianyin's blood-colored armor, Xuantian, who was hiding in the distance, couldn't help frowning, after all, with such a person by Zhao Mo's side, then his hope of getting Gu Tu was very slim.

"Don't worry, I can feel two more teams coming here. At the same time as Xuantian frowned, Hai Lao's voice came from his mind.

"What? Two more teams of people?" Hearing this, Xuantian's face became even more solemn, because he vaguely guessed that these two teams of people might be the Wang family of Wuyang City, as well as the people of the Meng family, which had to make Xuantian depressed.

"Wait!" Hai Lao said to Xuantian again.

"Hmm!" Nodding heavily, Xuantian knew that it was the only way to do it now, and at the same time his eyes were firmly fixed on Zhao Mo, who was guarded by an old man in the distance, and his eyes suddenly appeared.

"Patriarch, let's make a quick decision, I feel that someone is rushing here again!" An old man with white beard and white hair stood next to Zhao Tianyin, glanced into the distance, and said solemnly to Zhao Tianyin.

"Hmm!" Nodding heavily, Zhao Tianyin's body moved, and he quickly swept towards the five masters.

"You?" Seeing Zhao Tianyin coming, the scarlet in the eyes of the five masters appeared, and the corner of his eyes suddenly saw Zhao Mo who was hiding on the side to watch the show, and then his eyes were fierce, and the person who was fighting against him threw a punch, and then he jumped at Zhao Mo.

"Hmph, you want to kidnap my son, dream!" Seeing the fifth master running towards Zhao Mo, Zhao Tianyin's rough face became even more hideous, and he saw that his body moved towards the former, and pounced fiercely.

In the middle of its sweeping, a stream of Yuan Force condensed on the palm of his hand, and when the Yuan Force condensed to the substance, Zhao Tianyin's palm suddenly clenched, and then smashed it at the five masters.

Feeling the strong wind behind him, the face under the hat of the five masters became frightened, the previous battle had already drained his physical strength, and at this time, the blow of the Soul Shaping Realm Dacheng, he couldn't dodge it if he wanted to.

Scarlet eyes looked at Zhao Mo in front of him, and a trace of determination appeared on the face of the five masters, and he immediately said fiercely: "Zhao Tianyin, you let me die, I will let your son bury me!"

The words fell, and the five masters pounced on Zhao Mo again.

At this time, the old man beside Zhao Mo saw the five masters rushing forward, he stepped forward to block in front of Zhao Mo, and then the handprint changed, and a sword soul appeared behind him, and then stabbed at the five masters who were rushing.

"Bang!" The two attacks instantly touched together, and a huge roar exploded in the silent night, and the old man who blocked the five masters spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body hit a big tree straight up, and he fainted in time.

At this time, due to the attack of the old man, the body of the five masters was stunned, and at this time, Zhao Tianyin's attack came, and the fierce bombardment hit the back of the five masters.

"Poof!" A mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs spurted out, and the corpse of the fifth master fell straight to Zhao Mo's side.

Zhao Mo hurriedly bent down and took down the ring of the five masters, his divine sense swept into the ring, and said with surprise on his face: "Father, the martial arts are here!"

"Okay, you go home with your martial arts, I feel that the two families are coming. Hearing that the martial arts were in the ring, Zhao Tianyin's face was pleasantly surprised, and he immediately said hurriedly to Zhao Mo.

"Hmm!" Zhao Mo nodded heavily, and then took a few people and sneaked away towards one place.

Now that the Wang family and the Meng family are about to arrive, if they know that they have snatched the martial arts, it will inevitably be a vicious battle, after all, a martial art comparable to the ground level has a crucial effect on any family.

Now Zhao Tianyin was thinking quickly about how to deal with it.

However, while he was thinking about it, he didn't realize that after Zhao Mo left, a figure like a god of death was quietly following behind Zhao Mo.

......
