Chapter 42 The Trial Begins(1/2)
Gu Qingyan waited in her place for a while but there was no sign of her. She planned to find someone by herself if no one came over in another quarter of an hour, but at this moment she vaguely saw a moth flying by.
Then a few more flew this way, here they come, Gu Qingyan thought to herself.
Not long after, I saw a secret guard passing by not far away, followed by two of Gu Qingyan's targets. The purpose of those people's trip was to replace her secret guards and enter the palace, so their goals were also very important.
obvious.
Gu Qingyan let go of the front guard and deliberately made a noise before the two people entered his territory. The two people heard the sound and looked around.
"Are you two looking for me?" Gu Qingyan was sitting on a branch with her back leaning against the trunk, squinting at the two people below.
At first, the two people only thought of her as a person in the trial. They looked at each other without saying anything and prepared for Gu Qingyan to come down and fight with them.
Gu Qingyan jumped down, intending to pull out the soft whip from her waist, but she saw the two people coming towards her quickly, and the moment they approached her, they quickly separated on her left and right sides, leaving her vulnerable to enemies on both sides. In this situation, Gu Qingyan
It was inconvenient for Yan to control the soft whip, so he simply retracted his hand on his waist and started fighting the two of them with bare hands.
The fists of these two people were extremely strong. Gu Qingyan blocked one punch but moved back two steps. Seeing that they could suppress Gu Qingyan in this way, the two men simply attacked with a series of punches. Gu Qingyan saw that something was not going well.
The two of them were still standing one on the left and the other on the right. Gu Qingyan jumped up and flew over the person, somersaulting and kicking her legs on the back of the person.
The two people didn't guard against this move. It took a few seconds to turn around and come back. However, Gu Qingyan didn't give it a few seconds. She looked at the person who had just been kicked and kicked him a few more times. The person received a burst of fierce kicks.
It was on the chest, blood oozed from the corners of the mouth, and he held his chest to slow down his breathing.
Gu Qingyan landed on the ground and faced the two people with her hands behind her back. Only then did they see clearly that the woman fighting in front of them was wearing a mask. She looked familiar. She thought to herself: Isn't this the four girls of Taohua Stream? It seems that they are really going to do something.
Passed.
The other person took advantage of this gap and headed towards Gu Qingyan again. Gu Qingyan naturally did not have the advantage in the comparison of strength, but she was not wearing arm guards for decoration. Seeing the man approaching, Gu Qingyan threw out the arm guards.
Peacock Feather, that person dodged past, Gu Qingyan was not in a hurry, he hit her with his bare hands and hit her with the right moves, and he watched another person attack from the corner of his eye.
Gu Qingyan stopped fussing and used her quick attacks to find the right position and timing to fire several peacock feathers. While the two were busy dodging, she got closer, hid the poisonous needles in her palms, and only slapped the two of them on their foreheads and hearts.
The movements of their hands gradually stopped, and they fell to the ground and kicked their legs twice. Blood came from their eyes and they were dead.
Gu Qingyan took two steps back and flicked her wrist. The weight was a little heavy and she felt a little sore for a moment. Then she looked at the two still warm corpses in front of her, standing there inexplicably in a daze.
There is a mental activity: How can this be done? There is no secret guard left to help her finish it off. Now Dongqing and the others are performing their respective duties. She doesn't want to be alone in the forest not long ago. She can't carry two corpses anymore.
Go find any ghost guard. But you can't just leave the two of them alone.
Looking at the tree where he was sitting just now, he immediately had an idea. He picked up a body and climbed up the tree, letting him lie on the trunk to avoid scaring others if he fell uncontrollably when it got cold.
After lying down on one of them to make sure it wouldn't fall off, he got off the tree and lifted the other one up. In the same position, he lay down on another branch.
After finishing cooking, she returned to the ground, stretched out, and prepared to find her next target. It was time for her to go to a place with people. After all, she had thought of these people's goals.
Silently shuttled through the mist forest. After a while in the morning, the fog in the forest gradually dispersed. The trial guards had to run through the entire forest to confirm the final exit and then return to the mist platform.
Along the way, we have to avoid various hidden weapons that have been set up long ago, and there are also artificial obstacles from time to time, so there are those who cooperate, and there are those who go it alone.
Not far ahead is a place densely covered with hidden weapons. There may be invisible threads strung under your feet. These secret guards are all trained at Shimen, and they are extremely careful every step they take in the misty forest.
, Eyes see in six directions, ears listen in all directions.
One person's eyesight was sharp, and he saw a leaf falling, but it was split into two parts near the ground. He quickly raised his hand to signal his companions behind him not to move forward rashly. The first person raised his feet to cross the silk thread, and the two or three people behind him also raised their feet.
Crossing the silk thread, but in the end someone did not step far enough and stepped on the second thread, and saw a short arrow flying very fast from the side. The person jumped away quickly, and his arm was also scratched, tearing his clothes.
Blood oozed from the arm, and there was a sharp pain. The person in front looked back and heard the man say: "Short arrows are poisonous!" He was about to break his arm, but the person in front didn't stop him. When he saw this
The situation was clear. If they did not make a decisive decision and lost an arm, they would die soon, and this person's trial would also be over. Therefore, they no longer waited for him and moved forward.
The man with the broken arm endured the pain, returned the same way, and found the designated spot in the forest. He fell down when he saw someone responding to him. When the secret guard saw this, he didn't make a fuss and ordered someone to carry him down for treatment.
Gu Qingyan also took a look at the trials when she was looking for people. Sometimes she also wondered whether these trials were extreme and cruel, but after watching the scenes, she still felt that only when people face extremes and life and death can they
Seeing the original nature, perhaps the trial is also a test of human nature.
As he was watching, Gu Qingyan felt someone approaching him from behind. Was he trying to sneak attack? He turned around and took out the soft whip from his waist. The person opposite was using a sword. Now it was a one-on-one scene. Finally, he used
No need to use bare hands anymore.
During this period of fighting with whips and swords, Gu Qingyan made a decision. One or two of these people must be left alive. She still had something to ask. In this case, she would not kill this person for the time being, and would only take the soft
Whip took control first, planning to seize the right opportunity to tie up the man, but he should have poison in his mouth, and he had to prevent him from biting the poison and committing suicide.
The two of them fought back and forth for seven or eight times. Gu Qingyan wrapped his soft whip around his sword and tightened it tightly. Seeing that he was about to fall into Gu Qingyan's hands, the man wanted to bite the poison, but was killed by Gu Qingyan.
A palm was placed on his chest, and blood suddenly welled up in his mouth, preventing him from biting the poison. Seeing this, Gu Qingyan waved his soft whip, making the man let go of his sword, and the sword was thrown out with the arc of the soft whip,
Gu Qingyan leaned forward and pinched the man's mandible: "It's not that easy to die."
After saying that, he slapped the man on the back of the neck with a "pop" sound, and a mouthful of blood and poison spurted out. Gu Qingyan was afraid that the blood would stain the mask, so she raised her hand to block it, and put it down. The mask was fine, but it fell on her sleeves and shoulders.
Blood stains, and then the man's hand quietly reached into his clothes and took out something. He was about to open it when Gu Qingyan saw it and snatched it away. He gave the man a heavy blow to the crotch with his foot. The man knelt down.
Gu Qingyan took advantage of the situation and slapped the person on the back of the neck, causing the person to faint.
Gu Qingyan picked up the soft whip and found a hidden place to tie up the man. She picked up the sword on the ground and looked at the signal flare in her hand: "Want to call someone? This is a good way."
After all, I was searching in circles, and I might not know when I would find it, but then I thought about it, I just dealt with two of them, lying on the tree, and now I tied up another one. Counting the four that I had dealt with before, this forest
There should be three more in there.
But she has been struggling for so long now, and she is still in the period of menstruation, and her body is already a little tired. If a signal is given and three comes, she doesn't know if she can get through it smoothly. She lowered her head and looked at her current body.
It turned out that the plain clothes had some blood marks on them.
After collecting the signal bomb, this person won't wake up for a while. It's not too late to deal with one of them alone and then send the signal again.
Now the trial has almost entered the second half. Two and a half pillars of incense have been burned in the Nether Mist Terrace. No one has left the Nether Mist Forest yet. In the past, people would be seen after burning an incense stick.
People will show up around the time when the incense sticks are around, and today is really unusual.
Xu Shaolin stared at the misty forest, wondering what kind of medicine Gu Qingyan was selling in the gourd. Zong Yue held his hands in his sleeves and kept turning his fingers. Baili Mo watched the fragrance go down little by little. It seemed that there was only fear in the forest.
It wasn't just a trial. Beiming was not at peace either. He left Gu Qingyan alone one-on-one and didn't know what the situation was like.
Finally, one person came out, and the Nanke duel was chosen first. With something to see outside, a few people shifted their focus a little bit. People came out one after another, and the challenge of Youwu Terrace officially began.
Inside, Gu Qingyan saw one of her targets fall under the sword of the secret trial guard in the dark. There happened to be a ghost guard nearby. Gu Qingyan gave instructions and returned to where she was binding the person. Now it was better, and only the remaining
It's time for the next two, don't waste time, let's come together. I took out the flare from my sleeve and fired it. Everyone in the mist forest saw it. When the ghost guard saw it, he thought that something had happened to Gu Qingyan.
, but remembering that Gu Qingyan had gotten up early and told them that they were not allowed to leave without permission until the trial was over, so they could only speed up their own checkpoint, hoping to find it as soon as possible.
The accomplices of those people saw this and thought they needed help somewhere, so they also headed in the direction of the signal flares, but only two people arrived. Gu Qingyan did not hide anywhere this time, but just stood there arrogantly, waiting for the end.
Two people came.
Finally, the two of them looked at Gu Qingyan's back, raised their swords and took a stance. Gu Qingyan turned around and looked at the two people coldly, with the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a bit of evil. The blood stains on his body dried and became darker, which was clearly visible.
The two people in front of me felt weird.
"The last two." Gu Qingyan said calmly.
The two people looked at each other, understanding what Gu Qingyan meant, and they entered the forest with so many people. They were all gone, and he was the only one left. A chill ran down their spines, thinking that the person in front of them was still a woman? But
They didn't even think about it, they should have a clear understanding of what kind of monster Gu Qingyan was on the day they planned Shimen.
The female devil who never talks nonsense when she kills and must see blood when she takes action. Just looking at the few people she has dealt with this morning, you can see that she is unambiguous when it comes to killing people. She wants you to die, how can she let you?
Committed suicide by taking poison.
Anyway, it was a life-and-death fight. He went forward with his weapon in hand. Gu Qingyan held the sword and turned the edge. In an instant, the sword flashed and the sword flashed. The three people were going back and forth, and no one was ambiguous. The two people thought that two against one would have the advantage, but they
Gu Qingyan's body was flexible and she attacked quickly, leaving no gaps for them.
The two of them couldn't work together or apart, so they thought of taking turns in a relay to consume Gu Qingyan's physical strength. Gu Qingyan wanted to fight quickly, but how could she allow them to come one after another and play tricks on her?
She didn't deserve it. Ignoring the person who was pressing her step by step, she used Qinggong to skip over this person. The sword point only picked out the person behind her, and she used 80% of her internal strength to penetrate with the sword, forcing the person to retreat continuously. She directly used the handle of the sword.
The man was nailed to the tree, unable to resist.
Pulling out the sword, the man slid to the ground. Gu Qingyan could not avoid the man from behind attacking her. She simply grabbed the slide and used it as a shield. She turned around and went behind the tree. She kept moving her hands and pinched the man's wrist.
Mouth, not giving him a chance to bite, he stretched out the silver needle from the ring on his finger, picked it up, and threw the poison out: "You are still young to play this kind of trick with me."
After saying that, Gu Qingyan came out of the tree again with her sword, just as the man was about to strike at her. Often at such times, people would reveal their weaknesses. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Gu Qingyan.
, leaned over and slid towards the man, raised his hand, and dropped the sword. He saw the man suddenly stood still, the weapon in his hand crashed to the ground, and he fell down holding his neck. Gu Qingyan threw the sword and looked at the splash on his clothes.
With blood on his face, he turned around to check on the person on the ground, and after confirming that he was dead, he punched a tree to calm down.
Not long after, everyone in the forest was dead and wounded, and those who needed to go out also went out. Quietness returned, with only the secret guards silently cleaning up the battlefield. Dongqing, Dongxin, Dongsheng and other ghost guards rushed over one after another.
"Master." Dongqing called Gu Qingyan. Seeing that Gu Qingyan's plain clothes were stained with blood, she thought that Gu Qingyan was injured.
Gu Qingyan said: "I'm fine. There are two corpses lying on the big tree over there. Get them down for him." Gu Qingyan pointed in the direction, and Dongsheng led someone over.
"There is one behind here who is still alive and tied with a rope, and there is another one who is tied up with my soft whip." These are two living people. Dong Xin led the people to tie up the two of them and handed back the soft whip.
Gu Qingyan picked up Gu Qingyan, who wrapped the soft whip back around his waist and lifted the man lying on the ground with his feet. Dong Xin knew how to take care of that man.
"The other one was killed by the secret guard who was tested."
"Already brought here."
"Where are the original four?"
"They're all at the exit." Dongqing replied.
