Chapter 44: Kenshin Breaks Through the Mist

"What should we do now?" Wu Neng's voice was already trembling, "If there is really a Grandmaster attacking, in this fog, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it at all." ”

Shi Cheng didn't say anything, he stretched out a finger in front of his mouth to signal Wu Neng to silence, and then carefully picked up a few stones from the ground. After picking up the stones, Shi Cheng clasped one of them with his left hand, and then popped it out and hit the road not far away.

Several arrows struck through the air, and in the blink of an eye, they filled the pavement of that place. Although Wu Neng's perception ability was not as strong as Shi Cheng's, the sound of the arrow was still heard by him, and he couldn't help but take a breath in his heart.

Just when Wu Neng was panicking in his heart, Shi Cheng beside him had already made a move.

Shi Cheng had already judged the direction of those archers from the path of those arrows, and his right hand was like a repeating crossbow, and in an instant, he shot the remaining stones in those directions. The situation was critical at the moment, and Shi Cheng did his best every time he shot out of the stone, but the fog limited his five senses, and only a faint roar was heard in the distance, so Shi Cheng didn't know for a while how much effect this round of rapid shooting had brought.

Soon, silence returned to the fog, but Shi Cheng did not dare to be careless. He gently patted Wu Neng's shoulder, and at Shi Cheng's signal, the two of them poked their heads out from behind the rock back to back, and then stood up lightly.

"By the way, Shi Cheng, how did they see our position clearly in such a big fog?" Wu Neng asked Shi Cheng while carefully and vigilantly staring at the movements around him.

"This is very simple," Shi Cheng replied, "since they have set up an ambush here, they must have come prepared, so those archers must have some magic weapon on them that can improve the five senses in this enchantment, and I am puzzled by another thing." ”

"What is it?"

"Have you ever wondered why they would go to such great lengths to ambush such an inconspicuous caravan?"

Wu Neng quickly reacted, he patted his head and said, "Yes, unless there is something in this caravan that interests them extremely much." ”

Shi Cheng was silent for a moment before he spoke: "One possibility is that the goods transported by this caravan are very interesting to them, but if this is all there is, they can hire a team of killers to ambush us in the wilderness, and there are no masters in the guards of this caravan, so there is no need for them to set up a special barrier." ”

"The other possibility is ......," Shi Cheng paused for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "They set up an ambush here to kill a target in the caravan that they find difficult to settle with ordinary means. ”

Wu Neng heard the meaning of Shi Cheng's words and exclaimed, "You mean, these killers are specifically targeting the two of us?!" ”

"It's not impossible, we made such a big move in Redwood City, and we also pulled out the three important wedges they nailed there, and the tree is very windy." Speaking of this, Shi Cheng suddenly remembered what the other party had said when he fought with Mu Tian in the dungeon.

"Darkness is a paradise for us people. Every night from now on, you must be very vigilant against places where there is no light, until you die......"

"A bunch of rats who can't see the light," Shi Cheng sneered in his heart, "Darkness is your paradise, and I am your hell!" ”

Wu Neng didn't know what Shi Cheng was thinking at this time, he asked in a low voice with some anxiety: "Shall we find a way to rush out first, if we stick here, this formation may be able to trap us to death." ”

"Don't worry," Shi Cheng thought for a moment and said to Wu Neng: "Sacrifice your agency people to protect us in all directions." Follow me slowly, I'm going to find a way to break the formation. ”

"Breaking the formation? If there is a grandmaster here, aren't we going to fall into the net? ”

Shi Cheng didn't care, and said, "If you really want to, it's the same to run or break the formation." But now it seems that there are probably no grandmasters here. I just made a tentative move, if there was a grandmaster here, he would have launched a large array to surround us, but the other side is much quieter than before. It seems that the wave of counterattacks I just made them break a lot. ”

Wu Neng also had a lot of confidence in his heart, nodded, and immediately summoned four people from the Hidden Heaven Box, each guarding one side.

Shi Cheng pulled out the branch from his waist and said to Wu Neng lightly: "Wu Neng, don't you believe that I am Shi Zhantian's apprentice, today I will use the unique skill passed down to me by my master to break the formation with one blade!" ”

"You, you're going to be a blade of glory?!" Wu Neng was so shocked that he could hardly believe his ears.

Shi Cheng didn't answer, he stared at the branch in his hand, and now only this magic power that the master passed on to him could help him break through the danger in front of him.

The essence of the formation is to connect all things in heaven and earth to form a formation, so if you want to break the formation, there are only two ways. One is to use brute force to resist and break the formation with force. However, at the moment, he and Wu Neng have been trapped in the formation, and the mist array here is extremely weird, even if the two of them exhaust their true strength, they may not be able to successfully break through the big array here. Therefore, the best way now is to break the formation with the Dao, and use your own Dao heart to have a face-to-face confrontation with the Dao contained in the formation, so as to find out the defects in the formation in one go and break through the big formation.

Shi Cheng knew very well that the most suitable Tao for himself was hidden in the Withered Glory Heart Blade, which was also mentioned in the master's note to himself, only the hidden Dao in the Withered Glory Heart Blade was the most suitable for those who cultivated the Withered Glory Heart Blade. Although he has already cultivated this supernatural power, he has always been separated from the Dao meaning implied in this supernatural power, so that Shi Cheng has still not been able to fully realize the Tao and advance to the grandmaster.

But although he failed to realize the Dao, the Dao meaning implied in this miraculous skill was enough for Shi Cheng to break through the formation here.

Shi Cheng closed his eyes, at this time he seemed to be tightly surrounded by the whole heaven and earth, and the whole body seemed to be a fierce bow that began to wind, which was the proof that Shi Cheng had begun to gather momentum. At this time, in Shi Cheng's heart, the whole world had begun to change greatly.

However, before Shi Cheng could make a move, a sword light suddenly rushed into the mist, like thunder splitting the darkness in the dark night, cutting through the layers of white mist.

Wu Neng looked at the sword light that looked like lightning and like a meteor, and muttered to himself, "Is this the Dry Rong Heart Blade?" It's really broken! ”

Shi Cheng opened his eyes, his face was full of surprise, and said, "I haven't made a move yet, there are other masters here." The sword intent is so strong, although the Dao intent is not perfect, but the Dao heart is extremely strong, this person has not entered the grandmaster, but he has broken the way in the formation with one sword, it is true. ”

Wu Neng and Shi Cheng have not been together for a long time, but he knows very well that with Shi Cheng's character, it is extremely rare for him to give such an evaluation sincerely, and he is becoming more and more curious about the swordsman who wields the sword.

The fog completely dissipated, and Wu Neng and Shi Cheng looked around, their hearts tightened. The staggered carriages near the two of them were piled with corpses that had become black and festering, and the entire caravan was no longer alive. The clearing in the distance was full of traces as if it had been bombarded by a cannon, and it was the place where it was hit by the stone that Shi Cheng had just fired, and next to one "crater" after another were torn corpses. The corpses were all hideous or unrecognizable, with broken longbows in their hands, the same group of archers who had just ambushed the caravan in the fog!

The scattered archers in the distance were no longer afraid, and what really made the two of them crinch was the eight giant apes that had surrounded them less than thirty paces away at this time. The height of these eight giant apes was twice as tall as ordinary people, and their bodies seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black qi. The bloody eyes glowed red, full of murderous aura.

Outside the encirclement, fifty paces away from the great apes, stood a man with a token in hand. If Zhang San, the chauffeur of the caravan, was still alive at this time, he must be no stranger to this person, he was Xu Fu, who had been driving with him in the past few days!

At this time, Xu Fu's face was not only hideous, but also a thick horror, the black gas shrouded in his body was gradually dissipating, and the whole person's mutated body was gradually recovering with the dissipation of black gas, and the token in his hand was cut into two pieces. On a small sand dune directly opposite the headless corpse, a figure with a long sword in his hand stood.
