On the night before the end of the Fang Market, Xu Chenglin and Zhou Tong were among the crowd and left Yuanhai City with the flow of people. Coincidentally, he is not the only one who is smart. There were also many monks who left that night. As a result, the market, which should have been overcrowded, gradually became depressed.

Late at night, the head of the Xu family sat in the lobby with a book in his hand. He watched with relish as he listened to the report of the first black-clad masked man.

"There are a total of thirty-eight monks who left Yuanhai City this night, of which nine should be above the fifth layer of the refining body, and the rest are all below the fifth layer. Everyone is under our watch, and if we do, no one will be able to escape. ”

The black-clothed masked man bowed his head and reported to the head of the Xu family, his words full of extraordinary confidence.

"Hmph! Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness. It's not that you're in a hurry to leave, I'll think you're in a big deal? I will send men with you, and I will be careful not to show your feet. ”

The head of the Xu family didn't look at the man in black, but simply ordered.

The man in black nodded, and leaned silently towards the door. As he passed through a shadow, his figure disappeared into the shadows.

The head of the Xu family narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the shadow. I saw the shadow fluctuate slightly, and a small faint shadow flew towards the outside of the house.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This Shadow Sect's method of concealment and concealment is truly wonderful. ”

Xu Chenglin and Zhou Tong went out of Yuanhai City all the way to the north, and there was another city in that direction—Wushuang City. If you rush between the two cities with all your might, you will be there in six days. According to Zhou Tong, as long as they spend three days safely, it means that they are safe when they reach the woods in front of them. Xu Chenglin didn't know why Zhou Tong was so confident, but he thought that Zhou Tong would not be untargeted. The two of them hurried in the starry night, and they were safe and sound along the way.

Two days later, the two of them were able to see the presence of the woods in the distance. Seeing that it was not far from the woods, Zhou Tong finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, do you wonder why I insist on going to that woods? ”

Zhou Tong lost his previous seriousness, and a smile appeared on his face.

Xu Chenglin nodded, he was indeed a little confused. Seeing that he was about to reach a safe place, Zhou Tong relaxed, so he explained the reasons one by one.

There is a vast forest between Wushuang City and Yuanhai City, and it is actually more like a sea of trees to say that it is a forest. In the sea of trees, there are many trees and roads, as if entering a labyrinth. If you don't walk in the sea of trees all year round, you will definitely get lost in it.

Of course, others will not enter this sea of trees, but Zhou Tong is different. In his early years, Zhou Tong had entered this sea of trees, lived in this sea of trees for a period of time, and was very familiar with the sea of trees. Entering the sea of trees cannot be said to be Zhou Tong's world, but Zhou Tong thinks that there are not many people who can catch up with him, which is the source of his self-confidence.

"I see!"

"Hahaha! The Xu family is the head snake of Yuanhai City, and I am the head snake in the sea of trees. ”

The two of them changed their words and hurried forward, their mood relaxed, and the speed of the rush slowed down unconsciously. It was supposed to be a few hours of travel, but the two walked for a long time. What the two of them didn't know was that not far from the two of them, a faint shadow followed them unhurriedly.

For no reason, Xu Chenglin began to become restless. Just two days ago, he didn't feel that way. But today, not far from the sea of trees, his heart suddenly became anxious for no reason. It's not just Xu Chenglin, but even Zhou Tong on the side is not very right. Compared with Xu Chenglin's reaction, fine sweat had already formed on Zhou Tong's forehead.

The two of them were unaware of each other's strange behaviors. It wasn't until Xu Chenglin inadvertently glanced at Zhou Tong that he realized that the situation was wrong. An inexplicable sense of crisis rose in Xu Chenglin's heart.

"Brother Zhou, I feel that something is wrong?"

Xu Chenglin grabbed Zhou Tong and looked at him with a solemn face. was pulled by Xu Chenglin, and Zhou Tong suddenly snorted. The spiritual power of his body was agitated, and Zhou Tonglingtai instantly cleared up a little.

"It's a whim!"

Hearing these words, a lot of content instantly appeared in Xu Chenglin's mind.

According to ancient legends, if you want to achieve a divine body, you must leave behind the three things of trouble, hatred, and lust forever, and make your heart like a rock and never waver. Once the heart is shaken, it means that something big is going to happen. The earliest records of whims come from legends, but in the spiritual world everyone believes in them. Whims can be said to be an instinct, a kind of self-protection of human beings in the face of unknown dangers.

"Be careful!"

Xu Chenglin, who was in reverie, was a little stunned, and before he understood why he was careful, he was pushed down by Zhou Tong.

Puff, puff, puff, and the sound of breaking the sky sounded from behind the two.

Chop chop, a flying needle as thin as a cow's hair shot at the big tree not far away.

The two of them fell to the ground, otherwise they would have to be shot as hedgehogs.

The two of them looked at the big tree with palpitations, only to see that there were many flying needles densely inserted on it. Seeing these flying needles, the two of them suddenly felt a chill in their hearts. Without hesitation, the two quickly turned over and looked behind them vigilantly. Not far behind the two, three black-clad men appeared in black scarves at some point.

"Sneak attack from behind, no guts scum!"

Zhou Tong opened his mouth to scold angrily, but the three people opposite were unmoved.

Xu Chenglin didn't say anything, but his eyes were already cold. Although the three people on the opposite side were unmoved, they looked at Xu Chenglin and the others as if they were looking at dead people. There is no doubt that these three people are the ones who killed people and grabbed treasures.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend anyone, and now that people have come to the door, Xu Chenglin has to take action even if he doesn't want to. This situation is not the time for him to back down, you need to know that at this time, either you die or I die.

The three black-clothed men were silent, and the black-clothed men in the middle, who seemed to be the leader, narrowed their eyes slightly, and quickly threw out two flying needles with both hands. The flying needle slashed through the air without causing any sound. When the two saw the flying needle coming, they hurriedly dodged separately.

It was this evasion that the two had been invisibly separated. The figure of the black-clothed man in the center did not move, and the black-clothed man on both sides flashed into the shadows, turning into two thin shadows and quickly approaching the two.

"Brother, earth-based spells may be used to break their concealment. Don't run into the sea of trees, it's not suitable for fighting, be careful!"

Zhou Tong didn't care about Xu Chenglin at this time, and ran into the open space while shouting loudly.

"Find death, quickly solve the two!"

A hoarse voice came from the mouth of the leader of the men in black, but his figure was chasing Zhou Tong.

Xu Chenglin didn't think much about this scene when he saw this, and dodged and picked up the light body technique and ran towards Zhou Tong. Why do you want to run in different directions, why do you want to run to an open place? At first, Xu Chenglin didn't think much about it, but when he saw the shadow that followed him closely, he had a realization in his heart. Although there is a shelter in the sea of trees, it is conducive to one's own battle. However, there are many shadows in the sea of trees, which is more conducive to the hiding of enemies. Under the balance of the two, it is more powerful to fight in the open and fight with yourself.

"There are three men in black, and if you want to fight quickly, the best way is for two people to kill the weaker self first. But those two chose to chase after the stronger Brother Zhou, it seems that they are either extremely confident in their own people, or they are a little careless about me. Whichever is possible, the farther you run, the better. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Chenglin simply used enough spiritual power to speed up his pace, and the shadow behind him was also carried farther and farther. Before the tea time, Xu Chenglin had already run out of the shadow for three or four miles. As for Zhou Tong and the two men in black, they had long since disappeared from their sight.

If Xu Chenglin has no power to fight back, it is impossible. Xu Chenglin used three of the most proficient spells, and they were also the three spells he had first come into contact with, the Earth Trapping Technique, the Gengjin Qi Technique, and the Flame Technique. If these three spells work together well, the power should not be underestimated. Through the previous chase, Xu Chenglin had already judged. The man in black who chased after him cultivated to the same level as himself at most. Fighting with him on his own is not without hope of victory.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Chenglin suddenly remembered the two conjectures just now.

"The Tempering Stage is only the foundation stage of cultivation, and it can't use powerful moves at all. Only one man in black dared to chase after him, and it seemed that they were mostly careless about themselves. Just give it a try. ”

While running, Xu Chenglin quietly took out the short sword. Silently use spiritual power to cast a spell on the short sword. Glancing back at the shadow that was still following, Xu Chenglin's speed suddenly became much faster.

Seeing that Xu Chenglin's speed had accelerated, the shadow behind him also subconsciously wanted to accelerate. It's just that before he had time to accelerate, he saw Xu Chenglin's feet with garlic falling to the ground. Under the strong forward momentum, Xu Chenglin's figure slipped far away.

"Hahahaha, boy, your time of death has come. ”

Seeing Xu Chenglin's antics, the shadow behind him let out a long laugh. The speed of movement also slowed down.

At the same time as the shadow slowed down, Xu Chenglin, who was gliding, turned over and threw out the golden short sword in his hand. The dagger with Gengjin Qi flew extremely fast, and the shadow was extremely difficult to dodge the attack. But this dodge made the shadow chase stop the action.

Seizing this opportunity, Xu Chenglin quickly pinched the trick. The trick of the Earth Trapping Technique is quickly completed in his hands. Xu Chenglin slapped his hands on the ground, only to see that with him as the center of the circle, the land within a radius of five zhang became soft and abnormal.

"Trapped!"

Xu Chenglin roared, and the surrounding land rippled like water, turning into a quagmire. The shadow sank into the mire, gradually revealing the figure of the man in black. Xu Chenglin didn't wait for the man in black to react, and the trick in his hand changed again.

"Burn!"

One hand turned into a sword finger, and the other pointed at the feet of the man in black, and a flame instantly rose from the feet of the man in black and ignited him.

"Ah......h

The man in black was covered in flames, screaming and rolling in the mire, trying to extinguish the flames on his body. Xu Chenglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his successive spells finally made a contribution. Before he could think about it any more, most of the flames on the rolling bodies of the men in black were extinguished, and at the same time, they were already out of the quagmire. Cheng Lin realized that it was not good, and just wanted to pinch the magic trick to perform the flame technique, but it was a little slow. A few cold lights hit him, interrupting his technique.

"Oh no, it's a flying needle!"

Without thinking about it, Xu Chenglin hurriedly rushed to the side to dodge.

Dodging the attack of the flying needle, Xu Chenglin saw that the man in black was not far from his short sword.

"You deserve to be unlucky!"

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Xu Chenglin lifted the golden qi to bless his hands. His hands, which shone with a golden glimmer, jerked back against the short sword not far away. There was a choking sword roar, and the short sword grazed the body of the man in black and flew back. The man in black screamed in response, and one of his arms fell to the ground.

Caught off guard, the man in black was hit hard. Xu Chenglin wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but saw that the man in black threw something out of pain. The object flew into the air, and exploded into a black mist with a thud, accompanied by countless flying needles shooting out of the black mist. Seeing such a dense flying needle, Xu Chenglin decisively gave up the idea of wielding a short sword to block the flying needle. Without hesitation, he leapt into the mire, dodging the attack with the help of the quagmire formed by the Trapping Technique. By the time Xu Chenglin dodged the attack, the man in black had already turned into a black shadow and fled into the distance. One hit is not far away, this is the style of a top killer. And this man in black has carried this style to the limit.

Xu Chenglin saw the man in black fleeing, but he did not relax his guard. It wasn't until about thirty breaths later that he relaxed slightly before sitting on the ground with his sword. Panting for breath and catching a glimpse of the broken arm of the man in black on the side, Xu Chenglin finally couldn't help but vomit heavily. This was the first time Cheng Lin had fought with the enemy, but it was not the first time he had seen such bloodshed. It's just the gore he created, and this is the first time he's done. The physical exertion and the relaxation after the mental tension made the feeling of discomfort all come up for a while.
