Chapter 72: Ye Luan Eighteen

Ye Luan 18 fought Shan Tao again

...

Yin Xin rushed into the forest, only to feel the heat behind him rush towards him, and he didn't need to look back, he also knew that it was Shan Tao who was chasing him. The two of them ran through the woods, one after the other, leaving behind a trail of flames.

Yin Xin was running while thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, my brain turned and I was ready to repeat my old tricks. Stepping over a bush, Yin Xin shook his hand and scattered a handful of seeds, which were scattered under the bushes, and there were bushes as cover in this position, which was not easy to be discovered by Shan Tao. Then he ran while keeping an eye on Shan Tao's situation.

Suddenly a burst of flames rushed in, and the bushes were instantly burned out by the fire, and the blades rushed out of the flames, opening a new path. Shan Tao followed, stepping over the burned bushes and stepping on the seeds that Yin Xin had sown.

He didn't seem to expect that Yin Xin still had a trap here, and he was not guarded at all. One foot stepped on it, and quickly a small branch wrapped his foot tightly, only to realize that it was not good, and the other foot that had already stepped quickly retreated.

Looking down, there were thin branches tightly wrapped around his chatter. It is precisely because of this that cutting with a knife or burning directly with fire may injure himself by mistake, so he can only raise his feet and struggle to get out of here.

Yin Xin, who was in front, saw that Shan Tao had stopped moving forward and understood that he had walked into his own trap. He immediately stopped, holding his sword in one hand and drawing a few runes in the void with the other, this move was the screen sword array created by the void when he fought with Fu Lan the day before. It's just that that day was empty, just to divert Fu Lan's attention, today's move is a real sword formation.

Quickly finished drawing these runes, injected spiritual power into them, and then stabbed his sword into the center of the formation again, and pushed forward with both hands at the same time, and the sword formation quickly rushed towards Shan Tao.

Shan Tao has almost broken free here, but there are still a few branches wrapped around him, and he still can't move. He couldn't care about Yin Xin's attack in front of him now, so he had to wave his hand and block the fierce blade in front of him, temporarily resisting Yin Xin's sword formation, while he continued to solve the restraints under his feet.

The sword array rushed to the front of the Fierce Blade, and countless wind blades turned out from it, rushing forward with the momentum of the wind, colliding with the Fierce Blade.

The wind blade failed to pass through the fierce blade and attack Shan Tao, but the wind did a big job. The wind howled, blowing towards the Burning Blade, and the wind fueled the fire, blowing the flames towards Shan Tao, who had just escaped the shackles of the plant behind the Fierce Blade.

Shan Tao happened to have just withdrawn his foot at this time, when suddenly the wind blew in front of him, with a raging fire, and he was about to pounce on himself. He hurriedly dodged to the side, this flash didn't matter, the fierce blade in the air lost most of its mana support, and was directly knocked away by several wind blades released by Yin Xin's sword array, falling into the forest in the distance, and immediately set fire to a piece of grass and trees there.

There was no protection in front of Shan Tao, so Yin Xin immediately controlled the sword formation to turn around and attacked Shan Tao again, who had dodged to the side.

Shan Tao's fierce blade was knocked away, but he reacted immediately, and before Yin Xin's sword array could rush closer, he took out his blue stick from his magic bag. Standing in front of him, the stick spun on its own when the wind blade struck in the sword array, forming a crystal blue protective wall, whether it was the wind blade or the gale, it was all blocked out.

Seeing this, Yin Xin looked around, and the surrounding grass and trees were almost burned by the fire just now, and there was no use at all. So he grabbed a handful of grass seeds and threw them under Shan Tao's stick.

Shan Tao saw that this was not good, this grass seed would soon become entangled in his stick. He ignored the fact and waved his hand at where his blade had fallen. The fierce blade that had just been knocked out seemed to hear the call and flew directly from the ground. Under Shan Tao's control, he bypassed Yin Xin's sword formation from the side and rushed directly towards Yin Xin himself.

Seeing that the Fierce Blade was approaching, Yin Xin didn't dare to fight with it, he withdrew the attack of the sword formation, and while retreating his body, he called the sword formation back to his side, preparing to resist the attack of the Fierce Blade. At the same time, the grass he had planted had grown, and it quickly wrapped around Shan Tao's blue stick, making it immobilized, but the attack of the sword formation had stopped, and there was no longer any threat to Shan Tao.

Yin Xin withdrew his sword array, and Shan Tao suddenly changed the direction of the fierce blade, coming towards him, whistling in front of him, and quickly burning the grass that was wrapped around his stick into ashes. Then, he summoned the fierce blade to his side, not daring to let it hold in front of him, in case Yin Xin attacked with the sword array again.

And he himself grabbed the blue stick in front of him with one hand, put it behind his back, and looked at Yin Xin not far away.

"Yin Xin, who are you? I heard that when you first entered Lu Shen, you were still a beginner who didn't know anything. How can you only make progress so fast in just these two months? After the competition of these tricks, Shan Tao roughly figured out Yin Xin's strength. He was surprised that he should be on par with his own skills.

"I'm just an ordinary person, but more attentive than everyone else. However, Senior Brother Shan's kung fu is really good, if I hadn't deliberately learned these plant-related spells beforehand, I would definitely have been defeated by Senior Brother today. Feeling that Shan Tao's attitude had changed a little, Yin Xin didn't want to waste so much time and energy to confront him anymore, so he tried to reconcile with him and strive to end this senseless fight.

"Where, I can feel that Senior Brother Yin hasn't used all his strength yet. However, I still have to marvel at the rapid progress of my junior brother, if it continues like this, it won't take much time, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent. Shan Tao smiled, and the hostility between him and Yin Xin disappeared in an instant.

"Senior brother said with a smile, I also want to thank my senior brother's men for their mercy. Yin Xin also smiled, "But the two of us are fighting here, no matter what the result is, it will not be beneficial to each of us, just a useless waste of time and physical strength." Why don't you stop there, it just so happens that Brother Yufeng and I have other things to do. I hope Senior Brother Shan can end today's competition regardless of his previous suspicions. ”

Shan Tao originally thought that Yin Xin, a novice, could have any ability, and he should be able to solve him easily, so he kept chasing after him. But at this time, after this battle, he no longer underestimated the kid in front of him.

Shan Tao is also a reasonable person, and if he continues to fight like this, no matter whether he wins or loses, he will consume a lot of physical strength, which is really a deal that cannot be compromised. There was already a intention to stop, but now Yin Xin took the lead in mentioning it and gave himself a step down, so of course he followed his words.

"What Senior Brother Yin said is very true, you and I can compete, just point to the end. If it continues, it will be a bit too much, and it will not benefit you or me. ”

Hearing Shan Tao say this, Yin Xin directly withdrew the sword array in front of him and put his sword back into the magic bag to show his sincerity. Shan Tao saw that Yin Xin was so active, and at one point, the flames on the blade were suddenly extinguished, and then he withdrew his stick and knife into the magic bag.

Thinking that Yu Feng and Bai Ya were still waiting for him in the village, Yin Xin stopped being verbose and said goodbye to Shan Tao directly. "Senior Brother Shan, Brother Yufeng is still waiting for me in the village, so I won't stay for a long time and return to the village. We'll see you later. As he spoke, he saluted Shan Tao respectfully, and then prepared to return to the village.

Shan Tao also returned the salute politely, "Okay, then don't leave it at that, if there is a chance in the future, you and I will have another discussion." Watching Yin Xin turn around and leave, Shan Tao sighed secretly, in addition to lamenting Yin Xin's rapid progress, he also deeply felt the lack of his ability.

After Yin Xin returned to the village, he searched the village and found no Yu Feng and Bai Ya. According to the personalities of the two of them, they will not leave him and leave first, could it be that there was an accident when he was fighting with Shan Tao just now?

Yin Xin walked out from the east entrance of the village and searched carefully, but still found nothing. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he immediately turned and ran towards the same path from which the three had come.

In the south-central part of Yeluan Island, on the side of a river, Du Yuesong and two of his men searched here. According to the location indicated by Chang To, the body of the person named Fuqing should be in the forest near here.

It didn't take long for them to find Fuqing's body in the forest. Du Yuesong's subordinates investigated the corpse, and he observed it around.

After a while, the subordinates brought the results of the investigation. The fatal wound on Fu Qing's body seems to have been deliberately damaged, I don't know what kind of sharp weapon it is, but it is definitely man-made, and there is no sign of an accident or a beast attack.

Du Yuesong nodded in response, and then he looked at the map of Yeluan Island. On the west side of the island, there is a deserted village. This is definitely the best place for the disciples to stay overnight, and there must be a lot of people gathered in the vicinity.

He thought for a while, and then said to the two of his subordinates: "You guys come out with one person, and send this Fuqing's corpse to Lu Shen." The rest of the contact will go to the two people on the southeast coast and ask them how the situation is on their side. By the way, tell them that after the investigation over there, they will gather at the abandoned village to the west. ”

The two were ordered to act separately and follow Du Yuesong's instructions. After everything was done, Du Yuesong took one of his remaining men and set out on the road again, rushing towards the village to the west.

I didn't go far before I heard the crisp sound of birdsong coming from the sky. Du Yuesong looked up, and a yellow short-tailed bird flew from a distance and landed directly on Du Yuesong's shoulder.

This is one of the most commonly used messenger birds in the spirit world, the spirit warbler. It is petite, light and agile, and can fly much faster than the Aquila. And it is also quite spiritual, able to read people's words, and can recognize people's appearance. Therefore, in addition to some high-level sound transmission techniques that consume a lot of mana that are used in emergency situations, domesticating this spirit warbler is the most suitable and easiest way to transmit information, and it is also the most widely used one of household names.

Du Yuesong took a small note from Lingying's body, on which was the result of the investigation of the other two people on the southeast coast. Above the seashore, no figures were found. It was only at the edge of the jungle that an empty magic bag was found. The bag is not damaged, it can still be used, and it does not look like someone accidentally dropped it.

This simple investigation result gave Du Yuesong some ideas in his mind, and he could already guess some things from it.

After thinking for a while, Du Yuesong took out a pen and paper, quickly put something down, put it on Lingying again, and released it again.

This letter was not addressed to the other two men, but to one of his apprentices, Yu Feng.
