Chapter 31: Ambush
Out of the city, the group walked for half an hour and came to a dense deep forest.
The forest was full of large trees more than two feet high, with lush branches and leaves, blocking the cold moonlight, and from the outside it was pitch black inside. A winding trail spreads out of the forest.
This is exactly the Aoki forest mentioned in the letter.
Mo Juren summoned a few disciples to light torches and explore the way in front, while they followed behind.
After walking about a stick of incense, a wide area of artificial felling appeared in front of everyone, and a pillar was erected in the middle of the cleared place, which made Zhao Zheng unstable, Lin Xiaoyan, who was unstable, was tightly tied to the pillar, as if he was afraid that Zhao Zheng would suspect the authenticity of the hostage, and the person who tied Lin Xiaoyan placed four torches around her, illuminating every corner of her.
The lone pillar stood out in the light of the torches, making it seem that the surrounding area was pitch black, and ordinary people could not see anything. Zhao Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, the enemy didn't know enough about him, he didn't know that he had divine sense, and set such a trap for him to treat ordinary people.
Zhao Zheng's divine sense spread out, and he clearly perceived the surrounding area of more than 100 zhang. He clearly sensed the more than a hundred people with crossbows lurking in the trees around the clearing. Behind the big tree on the other side, there are also a group of martial arts masters lurking there.
Zhao Zheng performed a trick on himself, took the torch and left everyone and walked to the open space.
Lin Xiaoyan, who was tied to the pillar, saw him struggle violently, trying to tell him something. It's a pity that his hands and feet are firmly tied, and his mouth is stuffed with strips of cloth, so he can only make a faint whining sound.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I know there is an ambush, you just stay in peace, everything is with me. Zhao Zheng comforted softly.
Lin Xiaoyan quieted down, her eyes were so moving that there were tears in her eyes, and she seemed to have a lot of grievances to tell Zhao Zheng.
Zhao Zheng turned his head to look in the direction of the ambushed martial arts master,
"The people who dare to tie me up, how much courage I think they have, it turns out that they are all gutless rats, and I don't dare to show up when I come!"
"Zhao Zheng, you are dying, you dare to be hard-mouthed, the little ones will give me arrows!" There was a voice in the woods.
As the sound sounded, the sound of one hundred and ten bowstrings firing sounded at the same time, Zhao Zheng just wanted to dodge, but noticed that the target of the crossbow arrow was not himself, but a motionless live target tied to the pillar - Lin Xiaoyan.
"Damn it!" He hurriedly turned around and flashed in front of Lin Xiaoyan,
Mo Juren and other disciples of the Jiaohui who were waiting for support outside the field did not expect the situation to develop so quickly, and the enemy directly fired a salvo of ten thousand arrows when he said a word, and it was too late to support at this time, how could people catch up with the arrows? Besides, who would dare to rush in under the rain of arrows, wouldn't they be shot into a sieve in an instant?
Without waiting for everyone to react, the crossbow arrows had already flown in front of Zhao Zheng, and the timid disciples in the crowd had already closed their eyes, not wanting to see Zhao Zheng being pierced through his heart by ten thousand arrows.
"Brother Zhao!" Mo Juren only had time to shout. At this time, no matter how good the body is, it can't be used, because Zhao Zheng wants to protect Lin Xiaoyan, so he can only stand in front of her and help her block more than 100 sharp arrows. He asked himself that he would not be able to get out of this situation.
Just when everyone was immersed in the upcoming ending, Zhao Zheng suddenly moved, and the ruthless sword in his hand frantically swung into a field that could not be splashed by water, blocking many arrows, although his swordsmanship was excellent, but he was still shot in the legs by two stray arrows, and he endured the pain and pulled out the arrow.
This group of people had already prepared, and the arrows were quenched with the poison that sealed the throat with blood, and the blood brought out by the arrows pulled out by Zhao Zheng was black, and he relied on his mana to discharge the poison that invaded his body. He took out the Qingling and took it again, so as not to affect the play of his strength if the poison was not discharged.
The sound of bows and crossbows winding up was heard in the forest again, and Mo Juren reacted, and hurriedly asked his disciples to disperse to find and kill the crossbowmen around him. At this time, it was too late to kill the many crossbowmen who were ambushed, and he could only shout, "Brother Zhao, come back!" They're going to shoot again, you can't stop it! ”
Zhao Zheng ignored him, and turned around to cut the rope that bound Lin Xiaoyan. Lin Xiaoyan, who had been tied up for a long time, lost her restraints and sat on the ground. She pulled out the rags stuffed in her mouth as soon as possible, and shouted at Zhao Zheng: "You go quickly, leave me alone, I'm not worth it-" Before she finished speaking, her mouth was covered by Zhao Zheng's big hand. Zhao Zheng took out a talisman with golden lines in his other hand at some point, and quickly recited a spell in his mouth, as the rune lines were lit up, Zhao Zheng took it and slapped it on his body, and the talisman turned into a ball of golden light attached to the surface of his body.
This is exactly what Lin Shitong wanted to use when he fought against him, the entry talisman of the immortal cultivation realm - the Vajra Talisman.
The crossbow arrows shot from the shadows struck again at this time, Zhao Zheng didn't dodge for a while, and stood firmly in front of Lin Xiaoyan, only to see that the crossbow arrows shot at him again as if tickling, and the yellow light that touched his body bounced away one after another, without causing him any damage.
This wave of operations frightened the crossbowmen stupidly, and Mo Juren, who was observing the movement here, was also frightened by this shocking scene, and his eyes widened.
"This, this is still a human!" Someone in the ambush crossbowman sighed.
"Youkai!" Someone who sees something that breaks their perception has a nervous breakdown.
The people in the rivers and lakes who followed the onlookers were even more discussed.
"Brother, have you seen such strange things?"
"Where can I see it? Zeng Lao, you are well-informed, have you ever known the origin of this golden light? The man asked an old man beside him.
"I've only heard of similar things, I wonder if they're related......
"Old Zeng, don't sell it, tell us about it quickly! If you say something wrong, no one blames you. There was a young Jianghu guest on the side, who was a little anxious.
"This method is quite similar to the legendary immortal spell." An unassuming figure in the crowd speculated.
Zeng Lao looked at him in surprise, as if he was quite surprised.
"This young man is right, the method of casting the talisman seal to make himself invulnerable should be related to the cultivator."
"A cultivator? Could it be that Zhao Zheng is still an immortal?!! Someone in the crowd asked.
Without waiting for the old man to explain, the situation on the battlefield has changed, and everyone's eyes have been attracted to the past.
——————————————
Zhao Zheng picked up Lin Xiaoyan on his back, and in a few flashes he came to Mo Juren, put down Lin Xiaoyan and asked him to help take care of it, and his figure flashed, and he appeared at a crossbowman hiding in a tree in the woods, "Ah-" Before he could let out a miserable scream, the crossbowman lost his head, and the bloody scene was clearly seen by everyone under the golden light of Zhao Zheng's body.
Then everyone only saw a golden light flashing back and forth in the darkness, and every interval a crossbowman was harvested off the head of the neck, and when Zhao Zheng killed more than forty people, the remaining crossbowmen finally collapsed, and they all went down the trees to escape from this dangerous jungle.
Watching their companions hiding in the trees under the golden light die one by one, the ruthless rakshasas that flickered on the trees like ghosts added huge psychological pressure to them every time, even if they hid deeply, they couldn't escape Zhao Zheng's clutches, under this kind of pressure, it was impossible for anyone to persevere.
It's okay not to move, but when they moved, they were discovered by the elites of the Jiaojiao Society who were looking for them, and most of the crossbowmen were dealt with by the disciples of the Jiaojiao Society before they could escape far.
The group of martial arts masters who were ambushed on the other side of the square saw Zhao Zheng's appearance of a god descending from the earth at this time, and they also had the heart to flee, but they had just had this idea, and Zhao Zheng had already appeared in front of them.
