Chapter 51: Distress

The wheels of the carriage rolled, and I didn't know how long the road was.

Passing through several villages, Changning and Lu Ming carefully explored, and did not find any traces of the netherworld, and occasionally saw houses that were no longer inhabited, but they looked like they had been abandoned for a short time. Mu Zhong explained that this is a common thing, these small settlements are formed by the water, the old and the weak, women and children are counted, and the size of a dozen people is usually considered large. If you are lucky, there will be no natural or man-made disasters, and if you can follow the traces of people's actions to find them, you can settle down. If you are unlucky enough to encounter some fierce beasts and bandits, you will either have to move again after a short time, or you will simply die quietly in the mountains, and no one will remember that they ever lived.

When Changning asked why these people would rather risk dying in the wilderness than go to the town to ask for a living, Mu Zhong just sighed and said, "They are all displaced people who have been affected by disasters, where to take them in." ”

When Changning asked what the disaster was, Mu Zhong was extremely difficult to say, and was repeatedly asked before he replied: "Immortals fight, mortals suffer......

After a few days, the more he moved forward, the colder the atmosphere around Changning became, and he didn't know if he had seen too many of these empty houses, or because he had gone too deep into the forest.

It was another day when the twilight was sinking and Changning felt something incongruous.

The voice of the deer behind him came: "You also feel it?"

"Hmm...... The twilight is too long, and the mountains and forests are too quiet. ”

A burst of fog rose, and the three of them gradually disappeared in the fog, and their chatting and laughter were abruptly cut off with the fading of their backs.

There was an eerie silence around them.

Changning's long sword stood horizontally in front of his chest, putting on a defensive posture.

Lu Ming took out the Zhiyou Pearl, this small stone was obscure at this time, quiet as an ordinary stone that could be seen everywhere on the side of the road.

"It's not the Netherworld, but the Sword Shrine Mountain is fierce, and he is brave enough. Lu Ming sighed, put away the Zhiyou Pearl, and then with a stroke of his hand, a small sword was suspended in front of him. This is the magic power of the sword after the four-step cultivation, within a hundred zhang of the body, the flying sword can be reached instantly, and as the cultivation rises again, this distance will increase.

Lu Ming's mind had sunk into the flying sword. Not long after she first entered the four steps, the sword was not yet proficient, and the body was the flaw of the moment, but there was Changning Protector, and the two complemented each other.

The fog remained silent. The other party was extremely patient, and made up his mind to slowly consume Changning and Lu Ming's Dao power and mind.

Changning was not afraid at all, he had the perfect calmness and patience that a hunter should have. The small sword in front of Lu Ming was up and down, the cold light was a little bit, and he couldn't bear to use the sword to kill the enemy.

The fog stirred up almost imperceptibly. However, this movement was enough to be sensed by Changning and Lu Ming.

A figure gradually floated out, staggering and approaching.

Changning frowned.

There was almost no reaction of Dao power on this figure, and his vitality was extremely weak, but he kept making the clicking sound of bone joints rubbing as he walked forward, and he obviously had a lot of strength.

Without waiting for Changning to think more, this figure suddenly rushed to the ground, smashing the ground in one step, and bombarded like a crossbow!

Changning took a few steps forward, his body was short, the sword was across his shoulder, and he twisted his body against the momentum of the opponent's forward rush, and the figure was cut in two sections by Changning's long sword with the power of his forward rush, slipped and fell to the ground, plowing out a not shallow trace.

Slowly retreating to the same place, Changning's brows furrowed slightly.

The confrontation just now seemed to be freehand, but in fact, when the sword peak slashed through the figure, the feeling like defeat made Changning almost unstable with his sword.

In an instant, Changning made a judgment, the physical body of the two-step upper realm or even the third-step lower realm had no moves, no Dao power, and purely relied on brute strength. For the two Changning who have not yet achieved great success, they are the most tricky enemies.

And it looks like it's just a discarded puppet.

As expected, there were more staggering figures in the thick fog.

Changning and Lu Ming's faces were solemn.

Quietly transporting so many puppets, and forcing all the way to a place so close to the Sword Shrine, although I don't know who the other party is, but it is obviously to target the disciples of the Sword Shrine, then today is a must-kill situation.

Without hesitation, Lu Ming shot a sword signal into the sky. At this time, it is not the time to be reckless at all, to be able to drive so many puppets and spread the fog that the other two people fall into without even realizing it, the other party is definitely not easy to match.

However, the sword signal only flew a short distance before it seemed to hit some kind of wall, shattered, and turned into a fine streamer that could not fall.

As if stimulated by this streamer, the figure in the dense fog paused for a moment, and then rushed towards Changning Luming and the two together!

The sound of the ground being trampled kept coming, although Xiu Wei was one step worse than Lu Ming, Chang Ning started the assault before Lu Ming, and with only a tap on the ground, he threw himself into the group of puppets!

Although these puppets are powerful and powerful, they are completely disorganized by overwhelming people, and Changning's long sword dances open, and the move takes advantage of the situation. The puppet was not so much killed, but rather rushed to the top of Changning's sword and died.

Changning has quite a rhyme between tossing and turning. This method of exchanging the minimum self-consumption for the maximum damage to the enemy is a sword technique called the Autumn Point Soldier that was born in the Sword Pavilion, and the prototype is a long soldier spectrum circulated among the mortal generals, which was improved by a general of the Xin clan who stepped into the path of cultivation, and became a killing method to deal with group attacks. It's just that this General Xin was already in the twilight of his life when he stepped into the path of cultivation, and he regretted his death after walking a short distance on the Dao Mountain, and the improvement of this method was not fully completed.

When the Sword Shrine collected the sword recipes of the world, a disciple brought it back because of the subtlety of the use of his own strength and skill in this method, and put it in the Sword Pavilion. When Changning was casually flipping through the Sword Pavilion, he happened to see this killing method, and felt the heroic spirit in it, and the iron-blooded meaning was mixed with a trace of imperceptible unwillingness, which made Changning very moved, so he studied it carefully for a long time. This is exactly what it is used for.

Changning was like a vanguard breaking into the enemy ranks. The body is like the wind, and he is alone in the army, walking through the gap between the enemy formations, and the sword light is like thunder. Every time the cold light flashes, a puppet will inevitably fall to the ground. For a while, even the killing speed of the Luming Imperial Sword was inferior to Changning's strangulation speed. It's just that the number of this puppet is too much, and it is besieging from all directions. After all, the Dao power of Changning and Lu Ming is limited, and the Dao power here is not as strong as the Dao power in the sword mound, although the killing efficiency is high at the moment, it cannot be long, and if it drags on, the Dao power of the two will be exhausted, and they will end up like being devoured by rats.
