Chapter 12: Capture the Flag (Part II)

The strong man gritted his teeth and shouted, swinging his knife and slashing at Lu Zhan's waist.

Lu Zhan sucked his abdomen and shrank back, and his entire chest and abdomen showed a strange arc, narrowly dodging the tip of the knife, and then his body was close to the strong man, and his left hand hooked the right wrist of the strong man holding the knife like lightning - this is the word "hook".

Seeing that his wrist was hooked by his opponent, the strong man hurriedly bent his left arm and struck Lu Zhan's ribs with his elbow, but he didn't know that the opponent's body shook and went around behind him strangely.

Then the strong man felt a sharp pain in the wrist joint of his right hand that was hooked, and he could no longer hold the steel knife, he screamed, and as soon as his hand was released, the steel knife fell to the ground.

Lu Zhan let go of the strong man's wrist, took two steps back, and after a few moves, he estimated that this strong man was only at the realm of the early stage of body refining, and it was completely incomparable to the peak of his body refining, and the difference in strength was too big.

Lu Zhan didn't want to hurt people casually, so he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them all.

The strong man looked at the steel knife on the ground with a red face, knowing that it would be self-defeating to continue to do it, so he quickly took out the apricot yellow flag from his arms and threw it at Lu Zhan, and said to him: "The skills are not as good as others, I admit defeat." ”

After speaking, the strong man picked up the steel knife on the ground, turned around and fled decisively, it can be said that he is really a person who "escaped decisively".

Lu Zhan put away the first apricot yellow flag he snatched, he looked around, and didn't notice that there were other people around.

He thought that since the end of this assessment was the Seven Treasure Pagoda on the top of the mountain, everyone would definitely gather in the direction of the top of the mountain, and the higher they went, the higher the chance of encountering the opponent.

So he set out on the winding mountain road and went up.

On the way, he successively met three wounded martial artists who went down the mountain, and the apricot yellow flags on their bodies had been taken away, among which there was an eyeless mid-stage martial artist who bullied him for his young age and wanted to take away his apricot yellow flag, but he didn't expect to be knocked down the mountain by his punch.

Halfway up the mountain, he suddenly slowed down.

In front of it is a large stone forest area lined with strange rocks, where the bare rocks are peaks, the boulders are craggy, and the terrain is very treacherous, which is obviously a good place for ambushes and sneak attacks, plotting and killing.

Lu Zhan condensed his mind, circulated his qi, and used the senses of his ears, nose, eyes, and even his skin, sensing every movement in the stone forest.

Soon, through the huge qi in his body, he really sensed a very weak breath, and from that long breath, it could be judged that the ambusher's martial arts attainments were still relatively high, and it seemed that he would usher in a tough battle in this stone forest.

Lu Zhan would never choose to take a detour to avoid this battle!

For him, the stronger the opponent, the more wealth and treasures he will gain after gaining combat experience or defeating his opponent, which is exactly what he wants.

After all, Lu Zhan came from a humble background, and he couldn't compare with those children of the Lu family's relatives in terms of various resources. If he wants to be able to quickly improve his strength to take revenge, Liu Dagu, who has at least reached the late stage of the bone forging realm, must try his best to collect cultivation resources.

He resolutely walked into the stone forest.

The path in the stone forest winds and turns, the strange rocks on both sides of the road, and the mountain wind shuttles between the rocks, making a tooth-aching whistling sound.

Lu Zhan's nerves couldn't help but collapse very tightly, and he raised his eyes to look around. He couldn't even think about it, his right leg flicked, and his body jumped forward more than a foot away, and three short-tailed crossbow arrows flew against his back on a rock, stirring up a few sparks.

Before he could catch his breath, a ghostly figure flashed from behind the strange stone beside him, only to see a snowy knife flash, and a steel knife slashed at his thigh.

But—

The sharp blade did not slash through flesh and bone as expected, and not even a trace of blood appeared, as if the steel knife had been slashed into a thick piece of cowhide leather armor. The sneak attacker looked at his blade in amazement, wondering if something was wrong with the expensive Hundred Tempered Steel Knife.

Lu Zhan turned his head to look and saw that this sneak attacker was the middle-aged man who once wanted to partner with him.

"Is it you?" Lu Zhan sneered: "It seems that you have found a partner, but it is just right that you join forces to send me two flags at once." ”

As he spoke, he punched out and threw it straight into the chest of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man had seen the scene of Lu Zhan's punch cracking the stone lock, and knew what it meant once this fist was touched, and in his eagerness, he held the two ends of the steel knife with both hands and crossed his chest, only to hear a crisp sound of "ping-pong", and the steel long knife was broken violently!

Lu Zhan failed to punch a punch, and the second punch followed and struck out, blasting straight at the chin of the middle-aged man who was already stunned.

But just then, a strange wind swept up behind him, and a sharp horse slid down and stabbed him in the back shoulder.

Lu Zhan could hear the wind behind him, and the qi in his body had a premonition of danger, so he didn't dare to hold it up, he sank his shoulders sideways, and dodged in the oblique stab, neatly avoiding the sneak attack of the sword.

Only a strong fragrant wind blew, and a mediocre-looking young woman fell in front of the middle-aged man, she held a long sword in her hand, and a pair of mouse eyes looked at Lu Zhan's thigh that had been cut by the middle-aged man's knife, and asked in horror: "Your skin and flesh can't be cut by a knife, could it be that you have reached the realm of forging bones?"

Lu Zhan sneered and said nothing, but saw that there were several apricot yellow flags behind her waist, and it seemed that this group of people had already eliminated several references.

"Don't you say, okay, just leave the apricot yellow flag. "The young woman is clearly the leader of the group. Seeing that Lu Zhan was silent, she knew that most masters of this level didn't like nonsense, so she stopped being verbose, pointed at her sword, and stabbed straight at Lu Zhan's waist and abdomen.

Lu Zhan turned sideways, still casting the "buckle" trick in the Black Tiger style, turning his hand and clasping the opponent's blade.

Unexpectedly, the young woman's wrist shook, and the sword blade made a "buzzing" sound, Lu Zhan felt that his fingers were numb, as if he had been electrocuted, and quickly let go of his fingers.

This woman is actually a kendo master! She is not on the same level as the middle-aged man at all, and it seems that the reason why she partnered with the middle-aged man was actually just using the middle-aged man as bait for her.

The young woman swung her round long sword, her body flipped up like a spinning top, and the sword light formed a dazzling circle of light around her, forcing straight towards Lu Zhan.

Although Lu Zhan was physically strong, he didn't dare to underestimate the power of this move, so he had to flick his legs hard, taking advantage of the jump height, and his body leaped up to a big rock next to the mountain road.

But before he could stand on his feet, he heard a "ding" sound, and three short crossbow arrows flew out of the back of a boulder like lightning and shot straight at his chest. In his eagerness, Lu Zhan couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his arm and swing it violently, using his meat arm as a blade to block the three flying crossbow arrows.

In such a short delay, the young woman had already flown up, and the long sword circled a piece of snow light, cutting straight at Lu Zhan's calf.

Although Lu Zhan's body had actually been trained to the realm of forging bones with tight skin and flesh and difficult to penetrate, it was for ordinary martial artists after all.

Like a young woman, a kendo master who was almost in the late stage of the body refining realm and had cultivated high-level exercises, this kind of sword momentum that struck out like a thunderbolt with all his might, after all, the power was extraordinary, and he didn't dare to try it lightly.

So he bounced up again, and with his astonishing bouncing power, he flew towards the boulder from which the crossbow arrow had been fired.

When he flew in front of the boulder, his right arm was full of divine power, and he directly hit the boulder with a heavy fist, and there was a loud bang, only to see a burst of smoke and dust, and the boulder was shocked and flew straight backwards, mixed with a human scream.

The boulder flew two feet away, crashed into a boulder and fell to the ground, and between the cracks of the boulder was a small man dressed in black with a crossbow arrow in his hand.

The young woman missed a move, flew up and chased after her, and the sword in the air swirled, circled a [***] light wheel, and went straight to Lu Zhan as a hood.

I saw Lu Zhan squatting down and grabbing a one-foot-square stone, using his arm strength, spinning, throwing his arm, and making a move-

The stone rotated at high speed, turning into a piece of residual light, shooting directly at the light wheel coming from the volley, only to hear a cracking sound of "ping", and the stone was twisted into powder by the sword light. And the dazzling circle of sword wheels also disappeared suddenly, dimming the light.

Lu Zhan broke the opponent's sword momentum with one move, not allowing the other party to take a breather, and jumped up again, punching the black tiger and smashing the woman's abdomen.

At this time, the woman's offensive was blocked several times, and her momentum gradually declined, and seeing that the opponent's punch that could open the mountain and crack the rocks came violently, she couldn't dodge it, so she had to grit her teeth, turn her wrist and raise her palms to meet Lu Zhan's fist.

There was a muffled "pop".

The young woman took a few steps back, a mouthful of blood spurting out of her throat.

Lu Zhan put away his fists, walked steadily in front of her, and looked at her with his palms spread.

The young woman spat out the blood foam in her mouth, then grabbed the apricot yellow flags that were inserted behind her waist and threw them into Lu Zhan's palm, staring at Lu Zhan with her eyes firmly and said: "Little brother, your martial arts cultivation is far superior to ours, and the banners belong to you, please raise your noble hand and let me go." ”

Lu Zhan glanced at the apricot yellow flags he got, there were as many as five, it seemed that the three-person grass platform team they had temporarily built had gained a lot of money, except for the young woman's own side, they actually grabbed four apricot yellow flags.

Lu Zhan ignored the woman who had already begged for mercy, but walked directly to the small man who was still embedded in the stone crack, only to see a faint moan coming out of his mouth, and multiple fractures on his body.

Lu Zhan didn't bother to care about him, so he took out an apricot yellow flag from his arms and put it away. At this time, he suddenly remembered that there was another middle-aged man, who had not been seen since he had just started fighting.

Lu Zhan jumped onto a tall stone peak and looked around to find the figure of the big man. I saw a figure stumbling in the depths of the stone forest, and then jumped behind a few stone peaks and disappeared.

Lu Zhan smiled coldly and chased in the direction where the figure disappeared.

Lu Zhan leaped and chased in front of a huge stone peak, only to see that there was a very narrow gap behind the stone peak, allowing only one person to pass through.

After several fights, the young man had accumulated a little combat experience, and his heart was more confident, and he did not hesitate to break through the cracks in the stones.
