Chapter 5: Hunting in the Jungle
Xuyang City is located in the north of the Nanling Mountains, on the bank of the Luan River.
It is located in the middle of nowhere, so there are not many business trips, and the city is not very prosperous; because it is far from the imperial city, the legal system is lax, but there are many gangs that have taken root here, and there is no shortage of murder and goods. In addition to the difficulty, it is difficult to manage, and the government simply turns a blind eye.
Five miles outside Xuyang City, there is a poplar forest. In September, the sky is high and cool, not hot and dry, and there are also leaves falling in the forest, which are full of color. When the wind blows, the leaves rustle, adding a bit of a sense of gloom and slaughter.
Suddenly, there was a rustling of leaves in the forest. This is a common thing, but if you look closely, you will find that the surrounding leaves are not shaking, and since there is no wind, where is the movement in the distance?
From afar, there was the sound of rapid breathing, and a man stepped on the grass, dressed in black, and hurried, looking behind from time to time, his eyes full of anxiety and panic. Although he performed light skills and his speed was not slow, his breath was disordered, and he only forced his breath, and he obviously suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Before he could go far, three more people came after him, all of whom were wearing blue suits, embroidered with gold trim on the cuffs of their shirts, and a mysterious symbol on their chests. All three of them wore strange masks, the one on the left wore a tiger head mask and carried a meteor hammer, the one on the right wore a deer-head mask and was slightly taller and a little thin, and the one in the center wore a wolf-head mask and carried a wooden sheath sword. The speed of the three of them was even faster than the speed of the man just now.
Seeing the figure in front of them, the three of them urged their internal forces again and accelerated again.
The man in black heard the movement behind him, and knew that he would be caught up immediately, so he immediately gritted his teeth and ran to the left. He had just caught a glimpse of a clearing on his left, which would be more advantageous to him in the event of a siege.
Seeing this, the wolf-headed masked man knew that he wanted to fight to the death, so he immediately sneered and took the lead in following. Then he gestured to the thin man on the right, the thin man understood, jumped a few steps onto a tree, and threw his left hand at the man in black, and suddenly the sound of breaking the air sounded, and several black lights flew out of his hands.
The man in black dodged, jumped into the clearing, turned around and stood still, and looked coldly at the three people who were chasing after him. Where he was standing just now, there were three flying knives stuck in the ground, the flying knives were as thin as cicada wings, and the whole body was glowing with cold light.
"Hmph, it's really a big battle! I didn't expect that Sanzhilou would also dispatch three blue-clothed envoys for me, a seriously injured person...... Geng, I'm really flattered......"
Almost as soon as these words were spoken, the three blue-clothed envoys arrived, stood facing the black-clothed man, and vaguely formed a circle. Hearing this, the wolf-faced man laughed, but his voice was a little grim: "The name of the broken knife is very loud...... Our three-fold building values Geng Daxia, so we and the other three of us asked Geng Daxia for advice, and by the way, I wanted to ask Geng Daxia about the whereabouts of something. ”
Geng Jian slowly pulled out a knife from his waist, saying that it was a knife, but it was less than half the length of a normal Pu knife, because it was only half, and the name of the broken knife came from this.
"Haha, if you want to get a message from me, you asked my knife first!"
The three blue-clothed envoys had solemn faces, and although the people on the other side were seriously injured, no one dared to underestimate them. A Ling Yuan Realm powerhouse would pay a heavy price if he was not careful. Immediately, the three of them no longer hesitated, looked at each other, and began to act.
The tiger-headed blue-clothed envoy stepped forward and shouted, and the meteor hammer in his hand smashed towards Geng Blade with the momentum of wind and thunder; the wolf-headed blue-clothed envoy leaned forward lightly, and the sword behind him was already in his hand at some point, the sword body was bent like a snake, and the tip of the sword kept trembling, emitting a rapid roar, pointing directly at Geng Blade's chest;
As soon as the three of them made a move, it was a thunderous method, and it was bound to end the battle in the shortest possible time.
The meteor hammer was sharply enlarged in Geng Blade's eyes, and the sound of breaking the air behind him also made his back cold, and the serpentine sword on his chest came one after another, almost dying.
It's too late, it's too soon. Geng Blade lifted his breath lightly, raised his hand to break the knife, and faced the meteor hammer, drawing a strange arc at the moment of contact. Geng Blade could feel the wave of qi driven by the meteor hammer make his eyes squint slightly, and the huge force that came into contact made his qi and blood surge. Geng Jian shouted, the surface of the broken knife bent, and then took it to his chest, like a huge wave, like splitting Mount Tai. Then on the side of the figure, the palm of his left hand was pushed back, and he shouted: "Stygian Wind Palm!"
The Meteor Hammer changed direction and landed in front of him, forcing the wolf-headed man's sword to stop, and the Wind Palm brought a wave of wind and blew away the eight throwing knives that struck Geng Blade's back from different angles.
The almost certain death situation was resolved by Geng Blade.
The wolf-headed man clenched the hand holding the sword, thinking that his face was not very good-looking, the key was Geng Blade's Dark Wind Palm Heavenly Secret Weapon, as long as he was vigilant, it would be difficult for the Deer-headed Blue Cloth Envoy's secret weapon to succeed. After all, the three of them had just entered Ling Yuan, and their combat experience was far inferior to that of the people in front of them.
"Sure enough, it is worthy of the name of the broken knife, it seems that we still underestimate you...... However, you'll be able to fend off this attack a few times. Don't panic, attack with all your might, he's already at the end of his crossbow!"
Geng Jian calmed down his internal force, and at the same time took the attack of the three blue-clothed envoys, even if he used the method of borrowing strength, it was still not easy. When he heard this, he learned that it was difficult to get away today, but instead he had a sense of pride, and he was besieged by three blue-clothed envoys, which was also a commendable thing. Besides, if you want to kill him, I'm afraid it's hard to do it without paying some price......
The four of them fought together again, and Geng Blade kept an eye on the deer-headed man's hidden weapon, which made him suffer some losses and some injuries when he was close to the wolf-headed. The three of them were more and more frightened the more they fought, they didn't expect Geng Jian to not only defend so tightly, but also wait for an opportunity to counterattack, and the joint offensive of the three was difficult to achieve for a while.
Gradually, the internal strength of the four of them was about to be exhausted, and Geng Blade's situation was obviously worse, he seemed to be a little weak, and there were holes in his defense. He was slapped in the chest by the tiger's head, and he ignored the hidden weapon behind him, and was stabbed by three flying knives.
Geng Blade's face was pale, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and his body retreated sharply. The deer head, who had been in the dark, was overjoyed when he saw this, took out a short sword from his arms, and quietly sneaked closer.
Geng Blade's eyes showed a look of absolute expression, and the knife in his hand was raised, as if he was about to slash at the wolf-headed man.
The wolf-headed man was busy defending in front of his sword, and in his opinion, after Geng Blade used this move, his internal strength would be exhausted, and he could only be captured at that time.
Suddenly, the wolf-headed man felt that something was wrong, and although Geng Blade slashed at him, he didn't feel much killing intent. But in this case, what else can Geng Blade do?
He caught a glimpse of the deer head sneaking in behind Geng Blade, and his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Be careful, ......" Before he finished speaking, he was shocked. Geng Blade's blade suddenly turned, his body turned, the sword light slashed half a circle, and the strong wind headed towards the deer-faced man.
The deer-faced man heard the wolf-faced man's reminder and was wondering what to be careful about, he was already very close to Geng Blade, and he would be able to sneak attack immediately, and he was a little excited and expectant.
felt that his eyes lit up, and the deer-faced man didn't have time to think, so he subconsciously closed his eyes.
The next moment, the knife wind cut the ground into a gap several zhang long, and slashed it into a big tree at the end of the gap, shaking the leaves one after another, and the tree body shook.
The deer-faced man collapsed to the ground, his face pale and unrecoiled, his left arm severed, but he was clearly not dead.
Geng Blade's figure retreated sharply, and there was a warning in his eyes.
There was a man in front of the deer-faced man, who was wearing a grimace mask and seemed to be smiling. The scar of the sword circled in front of him, forming an arc, and slashed towards the tree.
The man was dressed in purple, and it was obvious that his outfit was in the same place as the tiger, deer and wolf, and he had a higher status.
The knife in Geng Blade's hand trembled slightly, and he almost uttered six words word by word.
"Three-fold building - purple messenger!"
