056 Fighting the Jackal Again
The passage in the stone forest is enough for horses to pass, but it is winding and full of obstacles, making it impossible to run fast. Large groups of troops cannot enter side by side. The horses in front and behind are congested, so the speed is very slow.
So under the command of the second leader, White Wolf Xifeng, the team with only about fifty riders was divided into two groups again. One group, with about twenty people, rode fast horses around the back of the stone forest to prevent the Han people from escaping.
Others dismounted and went on foot, holding torches and searching along the way into the stone forest, which was not very wide.
They thought that the other party had only a dozen herdsmen left, and as long as they were discovered by their side, they would be captured immediately, but they did not expect that this would be the beginning of their nightmare.
In the dark shadow, a horse thief was cursing secretly, one foot taller and one foot shorter stepping on the dark stone forest.
There were many large and small stones on the ground, and the soles of the animal skin boots were not hard enough and were very harsh on the feet. Although I had a torch in my hand, the strange wind in the stone forest caused the fire to sway wildly, and the lighting effect was not that good.
.
"Ouch! Damn those bastards like Hijikata, they still come to torment me when they are about to die!"
He stepped on a sharp stone and screamed and cursed in pain. The nearest companion, who was only a few meters away from him, burst out laughing: "Akuo'er, weren't you showing off your new leather boots yesterday? What, new ones?"
It doesn’t work either?”
Many people around laughed and joked, but then they heard him groan.
"Akuo'er?" A companion took a few steps closer to him and tried to call him, but he couldn't hear the answer at all and only saw the torch falling to the ground.
The companion suddenly became alert, drew his saber, and when he cautiously walked over there, he called his name again.
But he saw a pair of eyes staring at him in the shadow of the dark stone pillar on the left, less than half a meter away from him.
The swaying firelight did not reveal his figure at all. The horse thief was startled and just about to slash with his sword, but the other party had already drawn his sword.
I saw a flash of cold light, and the horse thief's pupils quickly contracted.
"ah!"
A scream broke the tranquility of the stone forest.
"Over there!" There were at least a dozen horse thieves nearby who immediately gathered in this direction, but before they could get closer, a few feather arrows shot out. With the light of the torch, they accurately passed through the holes of several horse thieves.
neck.
Screams immediately sounded from that location one after another.
"There's an ambush!"
"There aren't many people! Behind the rock on the east side!"
"Torches! Put out the torches! Damn it, we can't see them, they can see us!"
There were shouts one after another, accompanied by the sound of throwing torches, and the face of White Wolf Xifeng changed accordingly. Who would have thought that a group of herdsmen who had been chased by them like lost dogs would actually dare to set up an ambush here to fight back against them?
White Wolf Xifeng looked with eagle eyes. He could vaguely see a figure moving behind the stone pillar in the distance. Although there were not many, a series of arrows had been shot from some more hidden places, killing seven people in an instant.
Eight people.
The torch was originally used for lighting, but in this situation, it has become a target and a target.
call out!
An arrow was shot at him, but he reached out with his ape-like arms and caught it with his bare hands.
He was not afraid of the arrows of these herdsmen, but the horse thieves under his command were not that capable. In just a blink of an eye, two more people were hit by arrows and fell down. If this continued, the dozens of people who came in would probably die.
"Get out! Get out!"
White Wolf Xifeng roared angrily, but in the next second, his hair suddenly stood on end, and a blade of light came from behind the stone pillar on the left, quietly wiping his neck.
After all, he was the second master, and his instincts, honed through years of fighting, allowed him to react when the sword light just flashed.
His body suddenly sank, and the sword light almost brushed against his scalp. White Wolf Xifeng stretched out his hand to grab it. He wore a pair of iron gloves on his hands. The fingertips were sharpened, and his movements were even faster.
Like the wind.
Got it!
White Wolf Xifeng's eyes flashed, but he didn't expect that the opponent's movement was not slower than his attack, and the iron claw he grabbed out only caught an afterimage.
Immediately afterwards, the saber that was hollowed out was changed into a sword.
White Wolf West Wind only had time to tilt his head.
Huh~
The ponytail tied behind his head was cut off, causing him to break into a cold sweat. Immediately afterwards, he saw the empty saber twisting in the air, and the magical movement force forced the saber back.
cut!
boom!
A powerful and heavy knife hit his iron glove. The huge force knocked the white wolf Xifeng, who was already out of balance, directly to the ground. However, the saber also broke, and half of the blade flew away.
' with a sound it penetrated into the stone wall behind, almost half of it was submerged.
The opponent is so strong.
Lin Shuhang's eyes were as bright as lightning. Not to mention capturing the thief first, killing the horse thief would probably lead to the collapse of the horse thief. Even if he only looked at the reward for killing the enemy, with the skill of the second master in dealing with his sneak attack just now, it would only be enough to kill him.
It's worth killing ten horse thieves!
The opponent is very powerful. If it weren't for a sneak attack, it would be difficult to find a chance to kill him alone.
Lin Shuhang stepped forward, and while throwing the knife, he had already pulled out another saber from his waist, aimed at the neck of the white wolf Xifeng on the ground, and chopped it off.
Before White Wolf Xifeng could stand up, his pupils tightened. He never expected that there was such a master among the herdsmen.
Boo hoo hoo hoo~~
The horse thieves around him had already reacted at this time. Those who were further away shot arrows, while those who were closer drew their swords to save him.
But even this couldn't save him.
Flowers grew at the feet of the black shadow, and in that instant, four or five afterimages appeared. Regardless of the light of the sword or the shadow of the arrow, they all disappeared in an instant, as if they had passed through a transparent body.
Then a pair of cold eyes shot out.
It's the Han!
White Wolf Xifeng saw the other party's appearance in horror, but in the next moment, his sword was as sharp as the frost reflecting the moon.
Whoosh!
Heads flew up.
The horse thieves around were all stunned.
Although the second master's strength was far inferior to that of the Jackal Boss, it was just like playing to beat them ten or eight, and he was killed in such an instant, plus the figure of the man just now looked like a ghost when dodging the swords and arrows.
"Two, the second leader is dead!"
With a scream, the horse thieves only stayed for a few seconds, and then they were so frightened that they cried for their fathers and mothers, and ran away shouting like crazy.
Lin Shuhang would not let go of this opportunity to beat up the drowned dog and chased after him.
The horse thief, who had lost his fighting spirit, had no chance of defeating the cold arrows and Lin Shuhang's knife behind him, and in the blink of an eye, he dropped more than a dozen corpses.
Lin Shuhang was secretly happy, but then he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
Da da da da~
The fast horse was galloping, there should only be one riding it, but it was walking directly through the stone forest, and the sound was very close at hand.
Jackal?
Lin Shuhang stopped chasing and subconsciously disappeared into the shadows on the left.
When I looked over, I saw Jackal's tall Dawan horse flying past where the horse thieves fled, but...
There is no one on the horse!
Lin Shuhang was startled and felt alert, but the next second...
call out!
A sharp arrow flew down from diagonally above. Without any warning, it pierced Lin Shuhang's right chest and nailed him to the stone pillar behind him.
Immediately, a figure descended from the sky from the top of the stone pillar above.
Look at that burly figure and wolf-headed hat, it’s a jackal!
Lin Shuhang had already stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow stuck in his chest, but the arrow was so long and thick that at least half a foot was inserted into the stone pillar, but it was not pulled out.
Without hesitation, he cut off the arrow tail with a single stroke of his sword. He jerked forward, and a blood hole suddenly appeared in his chest. He staggered forward two steps, but was able to escape the control of the arrow.
boom!
The next second, the place where he was standing was directly destroyed by terrible brute force, and large pieces of rubble were scattered.
The arrow wound on his chest was extraordinary. It was an arrow with a bleeding slot, and it was even quenched with poison. Lin Shuhang could immediately feel that his strength and spiritual energy were rapidly weakening with the flow of blood.
At this point, there is no point in escaping. The only option is to die of blood and poison, which is not as good as a last-ditch effort.
Lin Shuhang's eyes were horrified, and he actually dug his finger into the bloody hole of the wound and tore it violently.
More blood spurted out, and the injuries were added to it. Even with the talent of the ruthless emperor covering him, he still felt extremely painful.
However, the passive ability of the Ruthless Emperor's talent was triggered, and the previously consumed spiritual energy and physical strength returned to their peak in this instant.
Without any hesitation, Lin Shuhang gathered all his strength and spirit energy on the saber in his hand. He stepped on the magic step, turning into four or five afterimages. In an instant, the sword glowed like snow, and he slashed towards the black shadow that fell to the ground with all his strength.
The black figure seemed slightly surprised, but his movements were not slow at all. He turned around almost at the same time, and a cold light flashed in his hands.
Swish! Swish!
