Chapter Seventy-Four: The Coffin
Black Coffin Forest
After Wan Chaoyang left, Zhuang Zhiyu slowly walked over to the trees that the assassins had thrown down, and she looked at them carefully, and found that they were no different from ordinary trees.
But when she turned to the front, she was surprised to find that the trees were all hollow?
"The surface is intact, but the inside is hollow?"
Zhuang Sleeve Yuxiu frowned, and she slowly went to inspect several other trees that had fallen to the ground, and found that they were all hollow.
An ominous premonition came over her, and a sense of fear instantly flooded her brain.
Her eyes were red, her whole body seemed to have lost her strength, and she slumped to the ground.
She sat on the ground, looking at the hollow trees, shaking her head desperately, her lips trembling
"It can't be, it can't be like this."
She kept backing until her back was against a tree, and her body seemed to be electrocuted.
She looked back slowly, and saw that the branches of the tree were thick, and she looked down until she saw the roots covered with weeds, and she trembled and stretched out her hands to remove the weeds.
At this moment, the crazy thought that had just poured into her heart was about to be verified.
She plucked up her courage and continued to look down, only to see that the weeds were slowly peeling away, and a thin line of distinct lines was very real.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled
"The Black Coffin Forest... Black Coffin Forest..."
But she saw that at the root of the tree, as she expected, there was clearly an incision that had been cut off with a sharp blade, and then the severed body of the tree had been re-installed, so that there was this clearly visible cutting line.
She ran madly into the woods, lying under each tree like a madman, searching incessantly.
She ran for a whole hour, but she still didn't give up, even if her delicate face was already crying, even if the shoes on her feet had been worn out.
At last, she stood in the middle of the woods, looking around, a great and terrifying sense of depression surging over her, and she was so desperate that she slumped on the ground.
After a long time, she stood up again, she walked helplessly back to the stumps, looked at the stumps lying on the ground not far away, bit her lower lip unwillingly, and ran to the trees again.
She picked up a tree with all her might, and although the tree had been hollowed out, it still had some weight after all, and she could only drag the tree slowly and slowly.
After a moment's delay, she stopped and rested, and it took her two quarters of an hour to drag the tree between the stumps.
Then, she lowered the tree and ran between the stumps, carefully comparing the incisions of the stumps with the incisions of the tree.
Sure enough, she found a stump cut that seemed to fit the tree perfectly.
She ran back and lifted the tree, and she rested the bottom of the tree on the stump, and then ran to the other end, slowly erecting the tree.
She wasn't tall enough, so she could only lift the tree at an angle, but by the time she was halfway there, she could already see that the base of the tree fit very well with the stump, and she could already be sure that the tree had been cut down from here.
"Bang!"
She shook off the tree weakly and slammed it to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
She looked at the forest, and although she had found the answer under the trees, she still couldn't accept the reality when she confirmed it all.
She ran for an hour, only to find that every tree she saw had been cut down and reconnected.
She smiled miserably and muttered to herself
"Black Coffin Forest, Black Coffin Forest, I just want to ask why there is no coffin, it turns out that these hollow trees are coffins."
At this moment, she is not so much in the forest, but in the endless sea of coffins, no wonder there is always a constant wind in this forest.
With such cruel means, burying people in every tree, her eyes are coffins, behind her are coffins, left and right are also coffins, in the forest, the wind is strong, as if countless souls are moaning, screaming, shouting in Zhuang Zhiyu's ears!
Not long after, Wan Chaoyang was dressed in white and stained with blood, and fell in front of Zhuang Zhiyu.
"What's wrong with you?"
Wan Chaoyang looked at Zhuang Zhiyu in surprise and asked.
Zhuang Zhiyu raised his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Wan Chaoyang, he broke down and cried with a "wow" sound.
Wan Chaoyang was at a loss by this, he was just a young man who was ten years old, where had he seen this battle, and he didn't know what Zhuang Zhiyu had experienced just now, so he could only stand aside and watch her.
After a long time, Zhuang Sleeveyu's crying gradually stopped, she wiped her tears and said with a smile
"I'm much better."
Wan Chaoyang asked
"Something happened."
Zhuang Zhiyu told Wan Chaoyang about her speculation, and Wan Chaoyang's eyes suddenly became cold.
"Click!"
The long sword instantly cut off a tree not far away, only to see the tree fall in response, and the cold chill came through the bones, and the severed part of the tree actually revealed the white bones of the forest.
Wan Chaoyang's eyes burst out with a sharp fierce light, his face was gloomy, and Zhuang Zhiyu beside him asked again
"Brother Wan, you follow them, have you found those people's dens?"
Wan Chaoyang said coldly
"Found it, I'll slaughter them all!"
Then his words changed
"However, the man in black still hasn't been found."
Zhuang Zhiyu said
"That person has very high martial arts, I think he may be from the villa."
Wan Chaoyang nodded slightly and said
"In this way, you go back to the villa first, with the protection of the Chu family, I don't think the man in black will dare to blatantly do anything to you."
Zhuang Zhiyu said
"What about you, Brother Wan?"
Wan Chaoyang Road
"The man in black will definitely come, so I'll wait here for the rabbit."
Zhuang Zhiyu nodded
"Brother Wan, be careful."
Immediately, she ran out quickly.
At this time, Chu's Villa
Chu Yuchao was sitting in the courtyard, his face was calm, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him.
Butler Chu Ping walked behind him and bowed
"Miss Zhuang went to the Black Coffin Forest."
Chu Yuchao glanced at him
"What you asked you to investigate, how did you find out?"
Chu Ping slowly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Yuchao
"It's all here."
After Chu Yuchao read the letter, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure.
"You take someone to the Black Coffin Forest and drive that person away."
Chu Yuchao said lightly.
Chu Ping was hesitant
"Owner's ......"
Chu Yuchao suddenly whispered
"If you are told to go, I will go!"
Chu Ping shook his head, sighed, and withdrew from the courtyard.
Outside the courtyard, a man was waiting outside, it was when Chang An first arrived at the villa, the person who gave Chang An a palm, Chu Guanyu's cousin, Chu Xiangyue.
When Chu Ping walked out of the courtyard, Chu Xiangyue grabbed Chu Ping
"Butler, what does the owner say?"
Chu Ping sighed
"The owner of the village asked me to send someone to drive the people in the black coffin forest away."
Chu Xiangyue raised her eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but she recalled that it was outside the courtyard of the owner, so she had to say in a low voice
"They trespassed on the black coffin forest, shouldn't they be killed?"
Chu Ping patted Chu Xiangyue on the shoulder
"Second son, I know you have a grudge against the head of the Chang family, but now that the head of the Chang family has jumped off the cliff, why should you target his friends."
Chu Xiangyue said angrily
"He lost my sister, and I can't be angry with his friend?"
At this moment, there was another sound of footsteps behind him.
The two looked back, but it was Chu Yulou who came slowly.
"Three Owners"
"Third Uncle"
The two saluted Chu Yulou.
Chu Yulou's small shelf was very large, he glanced at the two of them, said a faint "um", and walked into the courtyard.
An hour later, the bright moon was in the sky, and the black coffin forest was quiet.
Wan Chaoyang was surrounded by a group of people wearing the clothes of the Chu Clan Villa in the forest.
Chu Ping walked out and looked at the blood-stained young man in white in front of him lightly.
"Wan Daxia is here, and the Chu family is far away, but the black coffin forest is under the jurisdiction of my Chu family, and I ask Wan Daxia to leave quickly."
Wan Chaoyang looked around and chuckled
"This world is so big, you can go to it, how can you go to the black coffin forest, but there are so many constraints."
Chu said in parallel
"Although Wan Daxia's martial arts are world-famous, he has to abide by the rules after all, if he doesn't follow the rules, what is the difference between him and the evil demons on the twelfth floor."
When Wan Chaoyang heard the twelfth floor, it was a nameless fire in his heart, and he sneered
"What if I don't go?"
Behind him, Chu Xiangyue said angrily
"Butler, talk nonsense with him, we will work together to kill this thief here!"
As he spoke, he stabbed at Na Wan Chaoyang with a sword, and Chu Ping behind him couldn't stop him, sighed, and said helplessly
"Cover the second son."
But seeing that around Wan Chaoyang, twenty-three masters at the Kuofu level looked solemn, and twenty-three long swords rang out, attacking Wan Chaoyang with Chu Xiangyue.
Chu Xiangyue sneered
"Wan Chaoyang, let you be a grandmaster-level master, today, let you see my Chu family's sword formation, twenty-four."
Wan Chaoyang looked intently, but saw twenty-four sword shadows coming towards him, he snorted coldly, and the wall of internal strength spread out outside his body.
Twenty-four swords stopped two feet outside of him, and then the swords flicked in his hand.
"Bell ......"
The sound of metal clashing was endless, and twenty-four long swords were picked apart by him one by one.
But seeing that the twenty-four people were not in a hurry, with the long sword in his hand doing a backflip in the air, the long sword once again stabbed the qi wall outside Wan Chaoyang's body.
Wan Chaoyang was sweating on his face, no matter how powerful he was, with only the internal strength of the grandmaster-level, he naturally couldn't block the impact of the twenty-four first-class masters in turn.
"Wow!"
In order to save internal force, he immediately withdrew the wall of internal strength, and then, on his toes, he touched the ground and stepped into the air.
Twenty-four long swords swooped into the air, but Chu Xiangyue sneered and showed no surprise.
But I saw that the twenty-four long swords suddenly scattered, and then they all raised them to the sky.
Wan Chaoyang, who was in the air, was shocked, but these twenty-four swords sealed all his possible whereabouts.
He kept rolling in the air, but he was always locked by the twenty-four long swords.
In desperation, he jumped onto a tree, and the next moment, twenty-four silver rays flashed, shooting towards Wan Chaoyang in the middle, and they directly threw out the sword in their hands.
Wan Chaoyang on the tree sneered, if this blow failed, the situation would be reversed, and he once again stretched out the wall of body protection qi and jumped onto another tree.
But those swords were supposed to be in the air, but the blades of the swords turned, as if they were pulled by something, turned around in the air, and shot towards Wan Chaoyang on the other side again.
Wan Chaoyang had just stood firm, but he was still pierced by the twenty-four long swords outside the qi wall, the twenty-four long swords had been castrated, and he was about to fall, but he was retracted by the twenty-four people, and those swords were falling, but they cut off the branches at Wan Chaoyang's feet.
Wan Chaoyang's complexion changed, and he had to jump high and fall to the ground.
He looked closely, but saw that the swords were tied with thin threads, and the other end was tied to his hand, so that it could be evoked, but it was like a finger and an arm like a legendary swordman.
Chu Xiangyue sneered.
"Don't think it's over, Formation!"
saw twenty-four people standing in one place, and then, twenty-four strange sword moves suddenly came.
Wan Chaoyang was shocked, although each of them made different moves, but the combination was like a whole set of swordsmanship, and each person made a move individually.
But seeing that the shadow of the sword continued to bloom around, in an instant, twenty-four long swords were thrown into the air, arranged vertically, and were arranged into an extremely long sword shape, Wan Chaoyang was surprised to see that under the twenty-four swords, there was a steady stream of true qi along the thin line to the sword body.
Then twenty-four people swung their long swords at the same time, and the sword-shaped sword array unexpectedly emitted a dazzling light.
"Wow!"
A terrifying sword light burst out from the sword-shaped sword array, and the terrifying sword light flashed with cold killing intent under the moonlight, crushing towards the rising sun.
Wan Chaoyang's face changed greatly, the sword was coming, he wanted to dodge, but found that the twenty-four long swords were in the air, and his retreat route had been sealed.
"Boom!"
The sword exploded in the place where Wan Chaoyang stood, the smoke and dust billowed out, and after a while, Wan Chaoyang's figure slowly appeared.
saw that he was in rags, there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and a terrifying sword mark on his chest was shocking.
He coughed heavily, but saw that Chu Xiangyue stabbed him with a sword again, wanting to behead him.
At the critical moment, Wan Chaoyang's eyes flashed with coldness, but he saw that his fingers moved slightly, and he easily caught Chu Xiangyue's sword.
"Smack!"
Chu Xiangyue's sword was unexpectedly broken.
Immediately, among the stunned people, he took the opportunity to perform light skills and quickly fled away.
Chu Xiangyue was about to chase, but was stopped by Chu Ping
"The owner said, just drive away, there is no need to kill everything."
Chu Xiangyue was unwilling, but he didn't dare to face the grandmaster-level master alone, so he had to leave in a huff.
But at this moment, a thin sword flashed with a dazzling light, and a black shadow rushed into them without everyone noticing, the sword body was stained with blood, and two people were cut throats in the blink of an eye.
"What people!"
Chu Ping was furious, and someone was actually behind the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finch, and came out to sneak attack when they were fighting with Wan Chaoyang when their internal strength was short!
But seeing that the black shadow was hit with a blow, it quickly disappeared into the darkness, and everyone was panicked and looked around.
In the black coffin forest, the wind is strong.
But there were three black iron flying knives riding the wind
"Boom!"
Three more fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, the master of the Chu family is nothing more than that."
But I heard a young child's voice echoing in the woods, and everyone tried to follow the sound, but found nothing.
Chu Ping's face was vigilant, and he shouted in a low voice
"The enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, retreat quickly!"
The remaining nineteen masters scattered one after another, scattering and retreating in different directions in the woods.
A moment later, a short black shadow slowly walked out of the forest, and there was still blood dripping from the thin sword in his hand, but he saw that his eyes were clear, and he looked coldly into the distance
"Chang An, this time you will die without a place to be buried"
