Faced with this abrupt head-on blow.

So Jiuqiu's face is still as calm as water.

The height difference between the two sides makes the normal attack of the Iron Eater Beast can only use both palms to slap from top to bottom, such an attack is extremely terrifying, but it is also easy to leave room for people to dodge, especially in front of a strong man like Ling Jiuqiu, such an attack will leave a big flaw for himself.

I saw that Ling Jiuqiu suddenly became short, almost staggering past the edge of the iron-eating beast's palm, and the long sword slashed through a graceful arc.

The distance between the two sides is too close.

Ling Jiuqiu's movements were too fast.

The second iron-eating beast didn't have time to dodge at all, so it was ordered to slash Jiuqiu at the meniscus of the knee with a sword, and made a small half circle along the knee position, until it was cut to the position behind the knee side.

Even if Jiuqiu didn't have time to perform any martial arts, just relying on his sixfold cultivation in the Spirit Sea Realm, superimposing the two heaven-level martial souls, and the True Martial Mixed Yuan Gong of the Fourfold Realm, his explosive power also reached the standard of the late stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Under this blow.

The iron-eating beast's skin and flesh were scratched out of a scar nearly ten centimeters deep.

However, under the high temperature of the flame attached to the sword, the wound showed no signs of bleeding at all, but curled up in an instant, and like a roasted meat, a faint white vapor rose with the sound of fat burning.

The enticing aroma spreads!

Such a wound could only be regarded as an ordinary minor injury for an iron-eating beast with rough skin and thick flesh, but because it was located at the knee, it still made the iron-eating beast's movements suddenly unbalanced, and it fell forward to the ground.

At this time, the third iron-eating beast was in the other direction, roughly parallel to the injured second iron-eating beast, but it was too late to carry out a relay attack on Ling Jiuqiu.

The first iron-eater was blocked by the second iron-eater, and it didn't have time to turn around.

Thereupon.

This wave of offensive was suspended.

The nerves that had been tense in Jiuqiu also quietly relaxed.

This wave of offensive and defensive transitions only happened in the blink of an eye, but for Ling Jiuqiu, the amount of effort was really not small.

Fortunately, he relied on his strong body to still cause a little insignificant result.

As long as you play steadily, the chances of winning this battle are still quite high.

made Jiuqiu's heart settle a little.

At this time, the three iron-eating beasts, as if they understood Ling Jiuqiu's difficulty because of the brief confrontation just now, took a step and gradually spread, deciding to re-implement the encirclement tactics.

In the battle instinct of demon beasts, this is the tactic that can best play the advantages of the group.

Seeing this, Ling Jiuqiu's feet moved, and he took the initiative to rush towards the third iron-eating beast on the far right, avoiding the situation of being surrounded.

One man, three beasts in a fierce battle!

Meanwhile.

The black-clothed man on the other side had already searched outside this bamboo forest according to the traces, only a few hundred meters away from their battlefield.

Due to the obstruction of the trees, the man in black did not find any trace of Ling Jiuqiu and the iron-eating beast.

But.

At one point, he suddenly heard a dull crash.

"Huh? There's movement! ”

The man in black paused, and without hesitation, he went into the bamboo forest, approaching in the direction where the voice came from.

Soon, he saw Ling Jiuqiu and the three iron-eating beasts in battle.

"Found it!"

The people in black were overjoyed.

Although he hadn't seen Ling Jiuqiu with his own eyes, he had seen Ling Jiuqiu's portrait before the mission began, and he had also learned some basic information about Ling Jiuqiu, so he could naturally recognize Ling Jiuqiu at a glance.

In the past nearly a day, he has explored many places, but he has not found any clues about Ling Jiuqiu before, and now that he finally saw Ling Jiuqiu himself, the task is equivalent to more than half of the completion, he is naturally overjoyed.

He quickly frowned, though.

With the strength of his innate realm, there was almost no possibility of failure to attack a weak person in the Spirit Sea Realm, but the environment at this time made him a little embarrassed.

The bamboo forest is sparse and the field of vision is wide, and it is difficult for him to approach the other party quietly.

If he approached rashly, he was likely to be discovered by Ling Jiuqiu, which would cause the other party to directly send a signal for help, attracting the attention of the academy tutors.

In that case, even if he caught Ling Jiuqiu, he might not be able to escape from this trial area smoothly.

And the other party is in a fierce battle, although his mind is so concentrated that he can't be vigilant against the outside world, and it seems that he is more likely to be attacked by sneak attacks.

But actually.

Between Ling Jiuqiu and the three iron-eating beasts, they were walking and fighting at high speed, and their bodies were erratic, sometimes left and sometimes right, and their directions were constantly changing.

It's almost impossible to sneak in.

"What the hell is to do?"

The man in black hid behind a small piece of jungle outside the bamboo forest, carefully observing the scene of the fierce battle, and kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

"It's almost impossible to approach quietly, unless you let your guard down after the battle of Jiuqiu is over, or leave this bamboo forest."

"However, if Ling Jiuqiu dies at the hands of the three iron-eating beasts, there will be no chance to capture him."

"And even if he hadn't died at the hands of the Iron Eater, the movement of the battle between them might have drawn others in, which would have been troublesome."

"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, you must fight quickly!"

The man in black had a decision in his heart.

Since you can't sneak closer, you can simply put aside your scruples and rush directly to the other party as fast as possible, and maybe knock Jiuqiu unconscious before he can react, so that the other party has no chance to send a signal for help.

Or perhaps, out of confidence in his own strength, Ling Jiuqiu would not necessarily ask for help in the first place when he didn't see his strength.

It was about a hundred meters away from the battlefield in the bamboo forest, and with his extreme speed, it only took about two seconds to cross it.

Regardless of whether Ling Jiuqiu found his traces or not, as long as he didn't choose to call for help in the first place, he was sure to capture the other party in an instant.

That's his chance.

The man in black prostrated himself and suddenly burst out of the jungle.

In order to avoid startling the snake, he didn't even activate the martial spirit, but just operated his body and turned into a black shadow and quickly swept through the bamboo forest.

His feet almost dissolved into a blur, and he moved again and again on the ground covered with yellow fallen leaves, making a dense but slight rustling sound.

Ling Jiuqiu and the three iron-eating beasts were in a fierce battle at this time, and they didn't notice the footsteps.

But out of the corner of Jiuqiu's eyes, he still caught a glimpse of the rapidly approaching black shadow, and he was suddenly shocked.

"Another monster is coming?"

He didn't have time to get a closer look at the dark shadow, he only had time to dodge the attack of an iron-eating beast in a hurry, and then kicked hard under his feet, and scurried off into the distance, trying to get out of the battle circle.

Faced with the mysterious black shadow whose strength is unknown and whose origin is unknown, even with Ling Jiuqiu's confidence, he did not dare to rush into battle, but decided to figure out the identity and strength of the black shadow first.
