Chapter 157: Caught in Siege
At the same time, the sound of dead branches breaking sounded, and an eerie blue light flashed!
Qi Lang was shocked, and the hairs on his body stood up. He has always been full of spirit, maintaining a high level of vigilance against the surrounding environment, even if there is a hint of wind and grass, he can detect it at the first time and respond in advance. At the same time, Iglu must also be on the lookout for enemies in the shadows, and with the snow wolf's keen perception, any surprise attack is impossible.
But now, this insidious enemy has reached a range of three or five meters, and Iglu will actually miss such a powerful enemy, which shows that he is very likely to have unimaginable camouflage ability, and at the same time, he can control the spiritual power in his body without the slightest leakage, and do not give an opponent like Qi Lang any chance to predict in advance.
What a terrible adversary this is?!
In the time that Qi Lang only thought in a flash, that blue light was already approaching!
It was a sword, very fierce, extremely fast, and incredibly powerful!
Call!
The branches of kapok in the air had already been cut off one by one by the outward sword qi, like straw sticks, and they had never shown a single bit of hardness.
Thanks to Qi Lang's several adventures, his ability to adapt at critical moments is far better than that of ordinary soldiers, and thanks to Igru's warning sound half a second earlier, he has bought him precious time to fight back!
Boom!
The moon cicada is out of the sheath!
The sword light is dazzling, and it pierces back between the trunks of trees like a spirit snake!
Qi Lang did not choose to block this blow, but boldly adopted the strategy of ending up together. This sword stabbed decisively and quickly, and what was even more surprising was that at the tip of the sword, a faint silver light was actually inspired.
It was a sword qi forced out by Qi Lang with all his might!
Although Qi Lang was still a high-level warrior, and in all the previous battles, the legendary sword qi had never been successfully released, but this sword not only transmitted the spiritual power in his body to his arm, but also at the same time in the way of a cultivator, he urged the true qi in his body to run in an instant, causing the power gathered in the dantian in his lower abdomen to quickly ascend along the invisible channel, merging with the spiritual power, and through the wave of his arm, it was suddenly transmitted to the silver shining sword body.
As Jira had previously judged, Qi Lang had developed more smoothly in the path of cultivators, and had probably reached the level of a beginner-level swordsman. It may be that the training at an early age laid a good foundation for him, or it may be that the cultivator's abilities are easier to improve in the early stages. But no matter what, at the moment of life and death, Qi Lang's powerful sword has been successfully stabbed, and if the enemy who sneaks up on it abandons it, the two of them will be severely injured at the same time.
Qi Lang's blow was obviously unexpected by the opponent, he sighed unexpectedly, and the sword momentum in his hand paused at the same time, as if he was hesitating to accept the result of losing both - of course it was a result that he would not be willing to accept, after all, he had completely taken the lead, seeing that this sword was about to be effective, but the opponent injured himself with an equally strong sword, which he couldn't accept.
On the other hand, he should have judged that Qi Lang's strength was between a high-level warrior and a beginner-level martial artist, even if Qi Lang dodged this sword, he was completely confident that he would capture this opponent within a few moves. And just a hundred meters away, seven other companions were waiting there, and they would soon notice the anomaly, and in no moment, they would surround them and chop up the dead and alive tracker into meat sauce.
He decisively withdrew his sword to block Qi Lang's strange blow, and the two swords intersected, making a crisp sound: Dang!
Qi Lang felt a pain in his palms, and immediately realized that his opponent was far superior to him in terms of strength and spiritual power level. In addition, as he had judged the Moon Cicada Sword at the beginning, the design of the hilt was really unreasonable, and those raised claws must have scraped the palm of the hand into bloody holes.
However, after narrowly escaping with this sword, Qi Lang had no chance to think about it again, because the opponent's attacks had already followed, and in addition, the seven mysterious people in the forest also started to act at the same moment, drawing their weapons one after another, scattering in all directions, and quickly rushing towards where they were.
"Retreat to the west!" Iglu reminded Qi Lang's mind, he was obviously very annoyed by the dereliction of duty just now, if it weren't for the fact that the current forest was not enough for him to perform, I am afraid that he would have already appeared on his own initiative and viciously pounced on the vicious villain who was hurting people with hidden arrows.
Igru's reminder was undoubtedly extremely accurate, and Qi Lang had already judged the direction of the evacuation as he worked hard with the mysterious master in front of him. The west side is still a relatively empty space, because the seven opponents have not yet had time to weave a large net, especially the corner of the west side is densely wooded and more difficult to move. Compared with ordinary Caucasian soldiers, Qi Lang's figure is still quite thin, which is a great advantage in that kind of narrow terrain.
Having made up his mind, Qi Lang rolled violently on the ground, dodging the mysterious master's three consecutive sword slashes, and at the same time, returning the sword to its sheath, he turned to pull the Holy Blood Bow, and before he could pull his legs and gallop in the intended direction, the ghostly rocket had already shot out!
Whoosh! Whoosh......
In the blink of an eye, Qi Lang had already shot ten arrows!
Catalyzed by the pigeon's blood, the clusters of those arrows were already in flames, three of which turned in a large arc among the trees like flying snakes, while the other seven arrows flew towards the master like seven straight lightning bolts.
Under the flickering firelight, Qi Lang finally found a chance to look at his opponent.
He was of average caucasia, but his appearance was unrecognizable, as a black cloth was covering his face, and even his hair was wrapped, but his tall nose and pale blue eyes were enough to tell him who he was.
They are definitely not the cultivators of the East, and their identity is most likely ...... Credon!
Before leaving, Ou Wu mentioned the inexplicable power of evil, and although Qi Lang pretended not to care at the time, he had actually firmly remembered that name. At this moment, when Qi Lang was so close to these opponents, he really realized how correct Ouwu's account was. As Ou Wu described, they are symbols of evil, believers in the devil, because their eyes are full of evil energy, and the aura they exude also has an inexplicable evil intent that makes people tremble!
One by one, the rockets missed.
The fierce attack had almost no effect, and the opponent easily knocked them to the ground one by one.
However, the fire had already burned, probably due to the high temperature under the Nalong Lake, and the general lack of moisture in the dead branches of the kapok tree, so it was swept away by the fire and already burned.
With a crackling sound, the opponent stood still, watching Qi Lang retreat towards the empty space to the west, and did not attack further. Qi Lang even felt as if he was hesitating, because if he decisively unleashed a few more swords, he would most likely be entangled by him until the entire encirclement was completely formed.
Just when Qi Lang was puzzled by this, he suddenly whistled, and he jumped forward and retreated in the opposite direction of Qi Lang. As if they had heard the order, the other seven people also stopped, each chose their own direction, and withdrew from the nearest forest.
They retreated, one by one disappearing without a trace, but the shrill whistles rang out one after another, even from the direction of the tent.
"Oh no!" Qi Lang suddenly came to his senses - they have internal responses, they are likely to have completed their mission and are passing on a message to the traitors in the escort team, does that mean that Marcus's safety has been threatened?!
Qi Lang remembered his duty, if Marcus was hurt in any way, the whole team of guards would not be able to escape the involvement, and perhaps King Henry, in his rage, would hang everyone to death.
Qi Lang hurriedly withdrew from the forest and ran as hard as he could in the direction of the camp. But within a few steps, a group of ironclad warriors had already greeted them with torches. At the head of the pack was Felix, the new captain of the guard, who was neatly dressed and seemed to be on alert all the time, and had really lived up to the prince's trust in him.
Qi Lang was a little relieved - since the guards didn't sleep lazy, it meant that the prince was still safe for the time being.
"Felix, I've found the infiltrators!" Qi Lang shouted, "It's in that wood, and I fought with them......"
Felix didn't show any panicked expression, but greeted him with a gloomy face, and asked Qi Lang, "Why did you leave your post without permission?!"
Felix's voice was unusually hoarse, as if his throat was not healed......
Wait! Why is this sound so familiar?
Cold sweat suddenly drilled out of Qi Lang's back - his voice was almost exactly the same as those Credon!
"His Royal Highness the Prince has disappeared, it's entirely your responsibility, you despicable spy!" Felix's eyes had already flashed a terrifying light, and his voice had once again confirmed Qi Lang's thoughts!
He's Credon, Felix, and that's the mole!
However, Qi Lang had no chance to explain, those soldiers had already raised their swords angrily and surrounded Qi Lang with great momentum, and Felix also drew his third-level holy light sword at this moment.
Qi Lang felt his aura, he was not a mid-level warrior, but the person who appeared in the Snow Wolf Canyon, that martial arts level master. It turns out that he has sold his soul to the devil, and because of this, he has made a breakthrough in combat effectiveness!
The real crisis has arrived!
