Chapter 20: Siege
Just when Zhou Yi was about to talk about his countermeasures, an accident happened.
"Your Highness be careful!" the two royal worshippers suddenly reminded that they could no longer hide Zhao Mu's identity.
"Woo woo woo!" Dozens of feather arrows suddenly shot out from the side of the dense forest, and seven or eight people in the guards who were caught off guard were suddenly hit by arrows, and Zhou Yi and the others hurriedly turned over and went down to the other side of the horse to avoid the rain of arrows. The rest of the reacting guards, led by the two royal worshippers, brandished their long knives in their hands to split the arrows that were fired. Soon, seven or eight of the guards who had been hit by the arrows turned black, and they bled to the ground and died.
"Be careful, everyone, there is poison on the arrow!" one of the worshippers reminded him.
The ambushers seemed to see that the bow and arrow could no longer pose much of a threat, and with a whistle, a group of black-clad masked men rushed out of the dense forest, about a hundred people.
This group of black-clothed people quickly surrounded Zhou Yi and the others in the middle of the mountain road, and the three black-clothed people in the lead stared at Zhao Mu and the two Innate Realm masters.
The two royal worshippers stood in front of Zhao Mu, looking at the three black-clothed people in the lead with solemn expressions, they were congenital realm powerhouses, and things were tricky!
"Who are you, dare to be near the Imperial Army in broad daylight!" one of the enshriners shouted, while the remaining ten guards quickly surrounded Zhao Mu in the middle to protect him, as for Zhou Yi, he was pitifully abandoned by these guards and stood alone outside the circle of people.
The man in black didn't answer, and the man in black in the middle of the Innate Realm waved his hand and shouted, "All of them will be killed!"
Immediately, all the black-clothed assassins surrounded and killed, the two worshippers joined forces to entangle the three innate realm assassins, and the other guards also formed a military formation to resist the attacks of ordinary black-clothed assassins, most of these ordinary assassins were cultivated at the fifth or sixth level of the day after tomorrow, and there were even a few masters of the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, and the remaining Ouchi guards were all cultivated by the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow to open up the sea of qi, but the number was too small, and there was a way that was difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, and it was only enough to hold the formation.
Although I don't know where Zhou Yi came from, he is just a rookie who has no condensed skin in the third layer of the day after tomorrow, so only a man in black with the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow came to kill him.
Zhou Yi didn't care about the actions of those inner guards, after all, these black-clothed people were obviously coming towards Zhao Mu. He and Zhao Mu had just decided on an action plan yesterday, and they set off early this morning. The other party was able to dispatch three innate powerhouses and hundreds of acquired masters in one breath in a short period of time, which obviously showed that it was premeditated, so Zhao Mu's situation was indeed worrying.
Zhou Yi pulled out his battle knife, held the knife in one hand, and ran the Northern Spiritual Skill in the other, and pounced towards the black-clothed man who was killing oncoming. With a sonorous sound, the two knives intersected, and a few sparks were touched. The man in black was surprised that this little rookie could block his hands with one hand, and saw Zhou Yi quickly press his arm with his other hand, and then the internal force in his body quickly surged towards the opponent's palm.
The internal force of the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow is too weak, after all, most of the internal force is used to refine the body, and it is estimated that only after the seventh layer of the day after the day after opening up the dantian, there will be a large amount of internal qi in the body. Zhou Yi smacked his lips, feeling that his true qi was only growing little by little, and he missed the pleasure of growing his true qi by leaps and bounds when he absorbed the true qi of Huangfu Lesheng.
Soon there was not much internal force left in the black-clothed body, he looked at Zhou Yi in horror, the long knife in the latter's hand slashed lightly, he covered the knife on his throat, and wanted to make a sound but could only drink and pant and fell to the place, until he died, he didn't understand how Zhou Yi absorbed his internal force.
This is just a small episode on the battlefield, seeing that one of his own people was killed by that rookie, and two assassins from the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow came over to kill one left and one right. Zhou Yi does not dislike the pitiful internal force of the fifth layer of the day after tomorrow, and he can't even reach thousands of miles without accumulating steps.
He forced an assassin away with two knives, turned around and bullied in front of another assassin, grabbed the opponent's neck, and frantically activated the true qi of the Northern Darkness, and in an instant, the opponent's internal force was sucked away. With a creak and a slight crushing of his throat, the assassin fell to his death. Only then did the Assassin who had been forced out of the way attack again, his eyes showing a hint of surprise, but no fear.
Zhou Yi had a long knife in his right hand, and his left hand stretched out like lightning.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yi had already absorbed the internal strength of the four fifth-layer assassins and the two sixth-layer assassins, and he was finally able to feel that the true qi in the dantian had increased significantly, and it had finally attracted the attention of the black-clothed assassins.
A master of the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow suddenly slapped in front of Zhou Yi, wanting to use the majestic internal qi to shock the fly to death. However, Zhou Yi turned sideways like lightning to avoid the vital point, directly threw away the long knife, and put his palms together against the opponent's palm. The other assassins around saw the seventh-layer master attack, and they continued to kill in the direction of Zhao Mu.
The huge internal qi poured into Zhou Yi's body from the junction of the palms of the two people, constantly melting into the Northern Darkness True Qi, and constantly nourishing the Northern Darkness True Qi. A crazy absorption, a crazy urging, soon the black-clothed assassin's internal qi in the dantian qi sea was almost exhausted, and his face showed a frightened expression, but he didn't dare to speak in the internal qi competition, worried that once he let go of his breath, the internal qi would lose faster. At this time, he was no longer able to withdraw, the quality and quantity of internal qi between the two sides had been reversed, and now it was Zhou Yi who grabbed him and inhaled his internal qi wildly, and he was powerless to resist. What kind of kung fu is this, why is it so evil, your own internal force pouring into the other party's body is like a mud cow entering the sea and losing contact, and the other party is actually taking the initiative to absorb your own internal force in the back.
The internal qi of a seventh-layer master of the day after tomorrow poured in, and Zhou Yi's internal qi finally had a feeling of fullness, and it was not a waste of time at all, and suddenly the true qi began to surge towards the skin membrane, and the huge Northern Darkness True Qi drove the internal qi continuously sucked from the enemy's body, and began to refine the skin membrane.
Just when the assassin couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, Zhou Yi's skin membrane was also tempered.
At this time, he looked at it and no one would mistakenly think that he was a rookie with the three layers of the day after tomorrow, the pores on the skin film could already be controlled, and the four layers of the day after tomorrow that the skin film did not leak were easily passed. Coupled with the true qi surging in the sea of dantian qi, and the second vein of Ren Du that has been penetrated, he is already a master of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow.
Of course, the black-clothed assassins didn't know about this, they just felt that Zhou Yi had just completed a breakthrough. But in the blink of an eye, the seventh-layer master of the day after tomorrow was defeated, which made them dare not believe their eyes.
Zhou Yi picked up the long knife, and with a slash, it killed the black-clothed assassin.
Ouchi now only had six guards left, and under the attack of the black-clothed assassins who did not suffer casualties, four guards were dismembered by random knives, and the remaining humanoid shì was also in danger.
Zhou Yi hurriedly rushed towards Zhao Mu, and the black-clothed assassins along the way couldn't stop him from advancing in strength at all, one by one, without giving up absorbing their internal strength. Soon Zhou Yi came to Zhao Mu's side, leaving a corpse behind him. Three more Ouchi guards were killed, and just when everyone was desperate, they saw Zhou Yi killed, and there was no enemy under him, like a killing god.
Zhao Mu's spirit perked up, his eldest brother was really strong, not only full of wisdom, but also strong force, and he couldn't use common sense at all.
Zhou Yi threw out his long knife, stabbed an assassin to death, and slapped his palms at the only two remaining seventh-layer assassins, who also met with one palm each, ready to work together to kill this master who began to underestimate.
The remaining three Ouchi guards also committed suicide to the remaining seven or eight assassins, as long as the difference in numbers was not too large, their strength could still steadily crush these assassins of the fifth or sixth layer of the day after tomorrow.
At this time, Zhou Yi absorbed the internal force of dozens of people, although they were all small roles of five or six layers, and there was not much internal force, but it was also a huge amount when gathered. As soon as the two assassins fought him, they felt that the dantian qi sea in their bodies was like a burst of embankment, and the stored internal qi poured into the opponent's body, and then lost contact with him. They are powerless to stop the loss of internal qi, and they are unable to break free from their palms. Seeing that the internal qi that Dantian Qi had worked so hard to accumulate was exhausted after a while, a huge sense of weakness surged up in his body, and both of them were soft to the ground, and then he was slapped by Zhou Yi on the door of his head.
Zhao Mu saw that the two masters who were cultivating like the Ouchi guards were killed instantly, and he felt that he still underestimated Brother Zhou's strength, what a terrifying cultivation this should be!
"Brother Zhou, what realm are you in now?"
Zhou Yi wiped the blood on his hands on the corpse of the man in black, forcibly resisted the psychological discomfort after the wanton killing, and said: "Probably the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow!?
At this time, the remaining black-clothed assassins were also slaughtered by the guards, leaving only the powerhouses of the Innate Realm who did not distinguish the winner from the loser.
The battlefield of the strong in the congenital realm is also not optimistic, with two against three, everyone is in the early stage of the congenital realm, and it is really difficult for the two worshippers to resist. Soon, an Innate Realm assassin fought with the consequences of losing both sides and an enshriner, and both of them spurted out a mouthful of blood and flew out and fell to the ground. The remaining two Assassins intensified their assault on the remaining offerings.
The ordinary Assassins had all lost their lives, and if they couldn't do their best to get rid of the worshipper in front of them, then the assassination would have failed, and the consequences would not be something they could afford.
The remaining worshipper looked more and more wolfish, and seeing that he was about to lose, Zhou Yi quickly rushed over, and while an assassin and the enshrined were fighting, he blasted the Northern Darkness True Qi into the opponent's body.
The assassin spurted blood with a whoop and fell to the ground, causing him to suffer a heavy blow in an instant.
The royal worship also fell to the ground softly, unable to fight again, and the blow just now had already made him run out of oil, after all, he started with two against three, and later with one against two, and the consumption of true qi was too great.
The remaining assassin immediately rushed towards Zhao Mu, and with a snort, Zhou Yi stopped in front of him, turned around and said, "Hurry up!" Then he slapped a palm towards the assassin, and the day after tomorrow he blocked the innate, and he didn't know how long he could stop it, so he could only let Zhao Mu go first.
One of the guards hurriedly dragged Zhao Mu, ignoring Zhao Mu's hair and roar, and fled towards the way he came, while the other two guards picked him up and fell to the ground to worship and staggered to follow.
The assassin looked at everyone's actions with disdain, he was the only one left among the five Innate Realm powerhouses, and now he was the master here, so he didn't care about the actions of the guards. When he takes care of the self-defeating clown in front of him, he will naturally be able to kill everyone lightly.
