Chapter Forty-Three: Dead Wood Meets Spring
In the gap in the darkness, a pair of eyes were unusually bright like crystal gems in the dark night, hidden behind the dense blades of grass, the delicate little face under the straw hat was slightly tense, he was very careful, and his breathing was minimized.
Fluttering ......
In the silent woods, there was a sudden sound, and the black-robed man of the Remnant Sword Sect below reacted very quickly, only to see him tiptoe, a prodigal son turned over, and the sword qi broke through the air and slashed out like a crescent moon, "snap ......", a flying bird and beast was broken by his sword and fell from mid-air.
"It turned out to be a partridge. ”
With a small grunt, Broken breathed a sigh of relief, and the dagger re-entered its scabbard.
"This ......"
At this time, Remnant Xu on the side, as if he had discovered something, whispered to him.
In a pile of grass, there was a black-clothed corpse, and next to the corpse there was a curved bow and an arrow box, Remnant Xu picked up the curved bow, touched it lightly on the corpse, and then examined his wounds, frowning slightly.
"What did you find?"
The black-robed middle-aged man came to Remnant Xu's side and asked in a low voice.
The stiff hooked nose twitched slightly, and Remnant Xu groaned, and said slowly: "Like the corpses found a few times before, the fatal wounds are all knife qi, and the difference in the time of death is about the same, about shortly after the appearance of the wolf king, in terms of the technique of the knife and the depth of the wound, it should be from the hand of one person." ”
"So, these Qingxuanmen archers, as well as the archer, were all killed by a swordsman?" The broken face changed slightly, obviously a little surprised.
"Hmm...... I guess you can't go wrong...... There was only one person who came, and he was the one who killed with a knife, and he was the one who secretly released cold arrows. Nodding, Remnant Xu said very firmly.
"This swordsman is not simple! he killed the archer, slaughtered all the archers, and killed two of us who were strong in the Imperial Qi realm, I was a little curious about which force he came from, among the top fifty forces in our Heavenly Horn, there are more than 20 people who use knives, and among them, there are more than 10 forces that specialize in swordsmen, could it be the Golden Sword Gate? Or is it the Qingshan Sect?"
"Whether it's from the Golden Dao Sect or the Qingshan Sect, or find it out earlier, the last page of Motu was snatched away by a group of forces a few days ago, and now there is another swordsman, I'm afraid that the news about the secret realm has leaked, and after tonight and tomorrow, I will discuss with the people of Qingxuanmen to leave with Motu, as for the adventurer, leave some people to continue the search, a yellow-haired boy can't turn up any waves." "Remnant Xu usually has a violent temperament, but at this time he is surprisingly rational.
"Okay! Deal with the swordsman first, hehe...... I haven't cut the bones of a knife man for half a year, and it's just that this time it's enjoyable, hmm...... It's a nostalgic taste. Broken licked her chapped lips and laughed wryly, the laughter of which was particularly eerie in the silence of the forest.
Crash......
In the woods, from time to time, there are branches swaying, the moon and stars are scarce, only two black shadows are seen like apes climbing rocks, moving back and forth on the tops of the trees sensitively, as if searching for something.
In the dark gap, the young man seemed to be integrated with everything around him, his breathing rate was rich in a certain rhythm, very slight and delicate like the breathing sound of crickets, under Chu Yang's gaze, above a tree in the distance, a black figure continued to move towards the place where he was hiding.
Remnant Xu and Remnant are determined to force Chu Yang out, the strategy of the two is very simple, to launch a carpet search in this forest, since they know that Chu Yang is hiding in this wood, they don't believe that they can't find him after slowly investigating, although this method seems clumsy, but it is extremely effective.
The delicate little face under the straw hat was slightly cold, and his nasal voice moved lightly, through the gaps revealed in the dense green leaves, Chu Yang clearly watched the black-robed middle-aged man approaching him step by step, the black-robed middle-aged man was very fast, but it was just a moment, that is, less than three trees away from Chu Yang.
Silent, Chu Yang did not use the bow and arrow behind him, and succeeded twice, as if he was a lot more cautious now, if he used extraordinary arrows, he did not have the ability of the archer to control the arrows with air, and the arrows that flew out could change the trajectory, and if an arrow was shot, he was afraid that the arrow would be discovered by the other party as soon as it went out, so that he could easily dodge it, if so, he not only wasted an extraordinary arrow for no reason, but would also expose his traces and turn the active into passive, this deal is obviously not cost-effective.
"Where did you hide, boy?"
The night was dim, and the broken eyes swept coldly, and the next moment he jumped towards the tree where Chu Yang was.
When the broken figure was about to land on the forked branches, suddenly behind a pile of verdant leaves, a cold light mixed with a terrible light, like a scimitar, slashed out with a "......snort", and the blade was bright, like a bright crescent moon.
"Cunning fellow, you're hiding here, hey...... I almost fell in love with your kid again. The black-robed man's face changed slightly, he felt the terrifying aura contained in the sword light, he didn't dare to be careless, and the mysterious qi in his body suddenly turned into a strong sword light and greeted him.
Rumble......
The sword and the sword were handed over together, and in an instant, the two air currents continued to contend, making a "squeaky ......" friction sound, Chu Yang's face was cold, and the Xuan Qi in the aperture of the weapon surged towards the scimitar in his hand, and the majestic Xuan Qi in his meridians continued to be injected into the scimitar, almost a moment of effort, and the Xuan Qi he injected into the scimitar not only returned from the scimitar to feed back into his body, but also the amount of Xuan Qi was much purer and larger than before.
"Is this a spirit soldier? the more you give it, the more it will give back to you, like a close companion, like your own child. Chu Yang felt the Xuan Qi fed back by the spirit soldiers, and frowned slightly, the spirit soldiers are like unconscious demon beasts, although they are unconscious, they can still absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the weapon patterns on the spirit soldiers are mysterious, and it is naturally not a problem to absorb the aura of heaven and earth.
With the spirit weapon in hand, Chu Yang at this moment is like having a strength blessing, and the strength of the whole person has been improved a lot, this is the beauty of the divine soldier, in the same realm, there are divine soldiers and the same cultivators who do not have divine weapons are facing each other, and those with divine weapons can have the upper hand.
"This is just the lowest level of spiritual soldiers, if it is a spirit soldier with four weapon patterns, eight weapon patterns, and ten weapon patterns, how powerful is it?" Chu Yang sighed lightly, and the next moment he threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind, at this time, he was obviously not thinking about these, but there was a strong enemy in front of him.
Airplanes......
With a soft tremble, the scimitar turned, and the next moment the scimitar turned into a series of dead wood, covering the sky and the sun, and the dead wood was incomparably thick like vines flourishing in the wilderness.
"What kind of knife is this?"
Broken and his face turned cold, and the next moment the Xuan Qi in his body turned rapidly, and the overflow of Xuan Qi was clearly visible above his head, and the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a trace of arc, and the next moment he roared, starting from under his feet, a surging force spread out.
Thundered......
Under that terrifying destructive power of Xuan Qi, the surrounding earth continued to crumble, and in an instant, dozens of nearby trees collapsed together, and the destructive power was quite terrifying.
"Dead, right?"
Broken's face moved slightly, he didn't spare the slightest hand, because the time was too tight now, and there was no time to waste on him, although he really wanted to try the delicacy of peeling and deboning for a knifeman, and he really wanted to listen to the natural sounds that came from pain, but he could tell the priority of the matter, and the ink about the secret realm was too important to be sloppy.
There was a panic around, like a ruin, collapsed trees, rising dust, everything seemed to be so decadent, the silent jungle, I don't know when even the sound of birds disappeared, this forest was quiet and terrible, coupled with the dark night, the whole forest seemed a little lifeless.
There is a theorem in everything, and the so-called yin and yang, light and dark, black and white are all opposites.
As the saying goes, if you are born to the extreme, you are dead, and if you die to the extreme, you are alive, and the dead wood is lifeless, so why can't you meet the spring? The dead wood knife technique, recorded in the Demon Sutra, "a flower, a grass, a mountain and a river, a knife, a sword, a dead wood!" "Flowers and grass, mountains and rivers all represent vigorous vitality, and the intention of the dead wood knife technique is so clearly pointed out in the Demon Sutra is in the spring, how can a young man who has always been wise not know? If he knows, where is the grass, the flower, the river, and the mountain? How will he show this spring?
"It's really dead, it's boring, and it's so high that I look up to him. “
Broken sneered, put away the short sword, and prepared to go to join Remnant Xu, but in the blink of an eye, he found that the surrounding area that had been turned into ruins under his vigorous blow, from the collapsed trees and the splashed dust, grew dense blades of grass and fragrant flowers, and the scene was extremely strange.
However, after a while, the originally lifeless surroundings were full of life, the grass was green, the flowers were fragrant, and the whole was a paradise, this strange scene made the black-robed middle-aged man vaguely have a bad premonition, and the heart in his body turned, and the short sword behind him started again.
Bang......
A fallen tree suddenly bounced up from the ground, and when he looked closely, he found that the thick tree was actually supported by thick dead trees, and under the fallen tree, the young man gently patted the dust off the straw hat, and slightly pressed the brim of the hat down a few points with his fingers.
