The crescent moon hangs high in the sky and the mountains and forests sound.
Tang Hu looked at the man in front of him and his hands began to tremble.
He has been working in Guiya Village for many years, and has done many things of burning, killing and looting, but he has never seen a guy who kills so neatly.
But the knife falls with the hand.
But in an instant.
The four companions had already made no sound.
From the beginning to the end, there was no change in the expression of the person in front of him.
He is neither morbidly excited about killing people, nor does he feel sick about it.
It was as if all this was just a trivial matter to him, like drinking water.
"It's your turn." The other party's voice sounded.
Tang Hu's brows were furrowed, and the palm of his hand holding the knife was covered with sweat.
But the man walked towards him step by step.
Every step he took made his heart tremble with fear.
He retreated subconsciously.
The man seemed to see through his fear, and the dim light in the slits of his eyes was even worse.
"You can't escape."
"Accepting your sins is, in a sense, a form of atonement."
The man's voice became hoarse and dull, like the whisper of a demon.
Tang Hu's pupils trembled, and the hand holding the knife seemed to relax a little.
"Who are you!?" he asked tremblingly.
"That's not important. What's important is who are you afraid of?" the man continued.
These words made Tang Hu's heart tremble.
A series of sad figures flashed in his mind.
The woman who was burned to death in the fire, the child whose head was cut off while crying, the man who was stabbed in the chest while cursing...
The souls who had died in his hands seemed to come to life at that moment. They stood behind the man, their faces covered with blood and tears, and they were roaring at him, roaring at him, and also toward him...
Claim your life!
His mind was in turmoil.
And at this moment, the man seemed to have noticed such a change. His figure suddenly sped up, and the broken sword in his hand went straight to Tang Hu's throat like a poisonous snake.
Tang Hu's heart trembled, and he raised the long knife in his hand.
Zheng!
There was a muffled sound and the swords met.
Tang Huchang responded in panic, but the man was obviously well prepared.
The moment the swords met, the sword in Tang Hu's hand trembled and he almost lost his hand. He also took a few steps back. The man took advantage of the situation and stepped forward, breaking the sword with his hand and attacking Tang Hu's throat.
At this moment, the old strength in Tang Hu's body was exhausted, and the new strength was not yet generated. He saw the broken sword coming, but he had no way to deal with it.
Almost subconsciously, he suddenly activated the spiritual power in his body.
The spiritual pressure of the Ling Mansion suddenly swept through the whole body.
The man's broken sword collided with spiritual power. He frowned and his body visibly trembled.
Tang Hu saw something strange in him and seemed to understand something. The panic in his eyes dissipated a lot at that time. He tightened his grip on the big knife in his hand and swung it away.
The man stepped back quickly with his toes on the ground. Even so, the clothes on his chest were still torn by the blade, leaving a bloody mark on his chest.
Seeing that the other party was injured by him, the panic in Tang Hu's eyes finally completely receded.
"You don't even have the cultivation of the Three Realms, but you dare to pretend to be a ghost in front of me! How courageous you are!" He gritted his teeth and looked at the other person, saying in a cold voice.
The man who retreated looked at the long and thin blood stains under his cut clothes.
He frowned and murmured to himself with some regret, "I'm still too impatient."
"If we had waited for a while before taking action, we wouldn't have had these troubles."
…
It is true that Chu Qingxiao has the Shura world close to him.
Once this method is opened, his perception of danger will become extremely sensitive, and he can predict the opponent's intentions from the changes in the opponent's energy.
This means that when the strength is about the same, the opponent is almost unable to hurt him.
but.
After all, he only has one level of cultivation.
Such a method would naturally have an absolute advantage over warriors of the same or second realm, but the leader of the Ghost Crow Village in front of him was a real third-level warrior.
Regardless of the difference between these three realms and the two realms and one realm, the gap between the two is vast.
Although there are differences in the cultivation methods of the second realm Tongmai and the first realm treasure bottle, in the final analysis they are both physical training.
After entering the third realm and cultivating the spiritual palace in the body, you can absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth and use it for your own use. When fighting, you can also use the spiritual power to cover the weapons. You can kill the enemy when you advance, and you can defend yourself when you retreat. Ordinary weapons can be like this.
Without the blessing of spiritual power, it is difficult to break through the defense created by the warriors of the Three Realms covering their entire body with spiritual power.
Naturally, it is impossible to hurt the other party.
Chu Qingxiao understood this truth. After the first fight, he realized that the opponent's cultivation level was above the three realms.
Therefore, seeing that the other person is timid, he deliberately uses words to provoke him, trying to take advantage of the other person's mental turmoil to kill him with one blow.
It's just that although this idea is good and it is indeed effective, it is a pity that he acted too hastily and allowed the other party to react, which led to the current situation.
"I didn't expect that a first-level warrior could be so courageous." At this time, Tang Hu looked Chu Qingxiao up and down and said this.
After the initial fear dissipated, he regained his composure and saw through Chu Qingxiao's true identity.
"Although you are brave, you have provoked people you shouldn't provoke." Tang Hu continued, clenching the knife in his hand, anger surging between his brows.
Almost being intimidated by a first-level warrior and even losing his life was enough to make Tang Hu angry.
He said with a ferocious smile, murderous intent surging around him, and he had obviously made plans to kill Chu Qingxiao in his heart.
He wanted this guy who had embarrassed him to pay a price worse than death.
Tang Hu's words also made Chu Qingxiao come back to his senses from his self-examination just now. He glanced at the furious guy in front of him with eyes spitting fire.
He couldn't help but sigh again and said: "Alas."
"I'm going to start to suffer from the 'old man' again..."
…
When I was in Wuling City.
For Chu Qingxiao and most of the people in Wuling City who surrendered to the army, the Yin Beast was the biggest problem they had to face on the battlefield.
The skin of this vicious creature is hard. Except for its weak points such as the eyes and mouth, it is almost difficult for ordinary people to hurt it without the blessing of spiritual power.
In order to deal with the Yin Beast, Song Guicheng thought of a way.
Form a group of four or five, and then let those with advanced sword and armor skills serve as substitutes for the Yin beasts and start practicing.
This kind of drill.
Its main purpose is to hope that everyone can rely on mutual restraint and cooperation to hold back the Yin Beast and consume their physical strength. After its strength is exhausted, they can then look for opportunities to attack its weaknesses and kill the Yin Beast.
And because most of the Xizhou Jianjia sparring partners are much older than Chu Qingxiao, Wang Che and others, the process is extremely long.
Therefore, he was jokingly called the "old man" by Chu Qingxiao and others.
This tactic requires several people to cooperate with each other at the beginning.
And with the awakening of Chu Qingxiao's Shura realm, he can often contain two or three Yin beasts in one stick of incense.
…
Chu Qingxiao, whose scheme was discovered, didn't panic too much. Instead, he didn't give Tang Hu a chance to finish his harsh words. He tapped his toes and actually chose to take the initiative.
Tang Hu obviously did not expect Chu Qingxiao to be so bold.
He was startled, but the next moment there was a fierce look on his brows.
He must let this self-righteous bastard know what regret is!
With this thought in mind, when Chu Qingxiao rushed towards him, he raised his long knife and faced him.
After knowing that the opponent's combat power was far inferior to the opponent's, Tang Hu's power and speed in swinging the sword were obviously much greater.
It's not that he intentionally hid his clumsiness before.
But there are some people in this world.
In the face of strong men, he was submissive and didn't even dare to speak a little louder.
But when facing a weak person, he can often strike hard and show his majesty.
Obviously, Tang Hu is such a guy.
Chu Qingxiao naturally felt this too.
He frowned slightly, not daring to be careless.
Although Shura Realm can indeed achieve the purpose of predicting the enemy's opportunity by sensing the opponent's energy.
But the higher the level of warriors, the more terrifying the speed and power of their moves. Sometimes, even if you have anticipated the opponent's intentions, the opponent's sword may have already struck you before you can react.
On your body.
Not to mention, what's more, you can hide your murderous intent and make the Shura world completely useless.
Of course, Tang Hu is obviously no longer among this level of masters, but with all his strength, his attack speed is still enough for Chu Qingxiao to deal with it carefully.
…
Chu Qingxiao moved his body to avoid the opponent's blade, but even so, the front of his clothes was cut open by the blade.
He was not surprised by this, and the broken sword in his hand swiped across Tang Hu's arm at this moment.
Tang Hu had expected it and was not panicked either. With the spiritual power running around his body, Chu Qingxiao's sword blade only cut open the clothes on his arms, but could not hurt his body.
Tang Hu was so proud that he naturally did not want to let Chu Qingxiao go. He turned the blade of his sword and turned it into a sweep, attacking Chu Qingxiao again.
But Chu Qingxiao was not greedy for merit. After one blow, he quickly retreated, allowing Tang Hu, who wanted to kill Chu Qingxiao under his horse, to jump into the air.
"Cowardly as a rat!" he cursed angrily.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qingxiao, who had retreated, came to kill him again.
Tang Hu, who was eager for this, hurriedly raised his sword and faced Chu Qingxiao, but Chu Qingxiao repeated his old trick again. His body was agile and he avoided the killing move, and the sword blade struck Tang Hu's back.
Tang Hu activated his spiritual power, but this time Chu Qingxiao just feinted. He raised the sword blade and stepped away again, without even touching Tang Hu's clothes.
The following collisions were all like this. Chu Qingxiao feinted every time, and Tang Hu continued to activate his spiritual defense, but he was deceived by Chu Qingxiao.
Tang Hu frowned and gradually realized something was wrong.
This guy wants to drain his spiritual power and then kill him!
With such thoughts, Tang Hu suddenly became wary.
Facing Chu Qingxiao, who was coming to kill him again, he trembled with his sword and swung it towards the opponent. After being dodged, Tang Hu became more alert when faced with Chu Qingxiao's sword blade coming at a tricky angle.
The two sides had fought several times, and he also felt that Chu Qingxiao's movements were strange. No matter how he changed his moves, Chu Qingxiao could avoid the blade before it landed on his body.
As a result, the nature of the battle between the two sides has changed.
He couldn't kill Chu Qingxiao in a short time, so he had to test his endurance to see whether his spiritual power would be exhausted first and Chu Qingxiao would kill him, or whether Chu Qingxiao's physical strength would be exhausted first and reveal his flaws.
As a third-level warrior, he had an absolute advantage in terms of physical strength. After several competitions, he could feel that Chu Qingxiao was already out of breath, and the only thing he needed to do was to reduce the consumption of spiritual power as much as possible.
Therefore, he decided to restrain his spiritual power at this time, betting that Chu Qingxiao would feint like before this time.
Can……
He obviously underestimated Chu Qingxiao. Chu Qingxiao's sword did not retract this time but instead pierced his back with great force.
The huge pain made Tang Hu turn pale. He quickly activated the spiritual power in his body and shook Chu Qingxiao's body away.
Looking at Chu Qingxiao retreating, he reached out and touched his back. Although he had activated his spiritual power, Chu Qingxiao still cut a large gash on his back, and his hands were stained with blood.
"Bastard!" He yelled angrily and slashed at Chu Qingxiao with his knife.
Chu Qingxiao still avoided the attack nimbly and attacked Tang Hu with his sword again.
With the lesson learned last time, Tang Hu no longer dared to take any chances and once again activated his spiritual power to protect his body. However, Chu Qingxiao seemed to have the ability to read minds. The moment his spiritual power was activated, Chu Qingxiao had already sheathed his sword and retreated.
.
…
The night wind changes from existence to non-existence.
The mountains and forests fell silent again.
The fighting on the mountain road has not stopped yet.
call!
call!
Tang Hu was breathing heavily. There were several more wounds on his body, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
But he didn't feel the slightest fear, instead a smile appeared on his lips.
Chu Qingxiao was also out of breath. Compared to Tang Hu, he looked even worse, his face was pale, his clothes had many rips, and he also had a few more wounds.
"The idea is very good, and the courage... is commendable."
"But at this level, how can you outsmart me?" Tang Hu said with a sneer. He held the knife and stood up straight, looking at Chu Qingxiao with eyes full of teasing.
Chu Qingxiao's offensive started to become less fierce about half a quarter of an hour ago, and his speed also dropped significantly. Most of the wounds on his body were added in half a quarter of time.
"My spiritual power has not yet been exhausted, but you are already at the end of your strength, and the outcome is already decided." Tang Hu said this, and he raised the knife in his hand.
He is very happy.
He has killed many people in his life, but most of them were ordinary people. Before their death, their eyes only looked filled with fear and despair.
But this guy in front of me is different.
He was very capable and smart, but he still couldn't change the outcome of being killed by him.
Such an opponent will die in his own hands.
The satisfaction it brought him was unprecedented.
"I will slit your throat, let the blood flow out of your neck drop by drop, and then cut off your hands and feet. You will watch yourself die breath by breath. I will make you regret what you did today.
Everything!" He said with a crazy look, his eyes were already red, and the anger of being teased by a first-level warrior for so long turned into twisted desires, and he vented them all.
But his vicious curse did not cause any abnormality in Chu Qingxiao in front of him.
Chu Qingxiao just looked at him with pity, like looking at a bobcat, staring at a mouse that was showing its teeth and claws but had already reached its end.
He just watched quietly.
Then.
He stretched out his hand, took out the red worm from his arms, and put it into his mouth.
