There was a slight sound of cutting with a sharp blade.
Xiao Zhao glanced at his right front paw and saw that there was no blood on the sharp nails. He nodded with satisfaction, retracted his nails, and continued to move forward gracefully.
Behind him, an assassin lurked in the tree canopy, clutching his bleeding neck, and fell helplessly from the tree.
Until his death, he did not know who killed him.
puff!
There was a small bone from a willow leaf flying knife stuck in each of the two eye sockets. The sword pierced a section of tree trunk as thick as an arm. When the sword was pulled out, a stream of blood immediately spurted out from the sword hole in the tree body.
Glancing at the tree trunk, he saw that the "soul fire" inside the tree had been completely extinguished. Xiaogu just turned around, sheathed his sword, and walked towards the other side. After walking a few steps, he suddenly knelt down, raised his long sword upside down, and struck out with a sword.
Straight into the soil beneath your feet.
The blade of the sword reached the hilt.
When Xiao Gu drew his sword and stood up, blood gurgled out of the soil, soaking the soil covered with thick leaves.
The concealment skills of these two assassins are very powerful, and no aura leaks out. Even the fifth-level and accomplished warriors cannot detect their existence.
It's a pity that no matter how good they are at condensing their aura, and even using the tree body and earth to isolate body heat, their "soul fire" is as bright as a torch in the dark night in the perception of their small bones, and there is no way to hide it.
After killing the two assassins, Xiao Gu thought for a while, sent a message through the air, and informed Shen Lang of the news.
Shen Lang, who was walking leisurely in the dark forest with a package on his back and a knife in his hand, received Xiaogu's message from across the air and pondered in his heart:
"The art of hiding is so good, he couldn't be a ninja from the Izumo Kingdom, right? Well, I used Xiaoyu's water arrows to kill Ghost King Dong instantly. If his subordinates want to avenge him, they really have to come to me first.
"So, has Mrs. Zhao joined forces with Ghost Wang Dong's men? In this case, we have to be careful about that Li Ying... If he shows up, he must be the first to kill him!"
In the battle of King Shark's Castle, although Li Ying, the Ghost King's eastern military advisor, performed poorly, it was only because he chose the wrong spell and cast a group-shock spell that would be immune to Shen Lang, causing a chain reaction and losing the whole game.
But Shen Lang would not underestimate Li Ying because of this.
Because after he learned the spells on his own, he had only used the three ninth-level spells of Wind Shield, Pointing Arrow, and Soul-Destroying Curse. Killing seventh-level and sixth-level warriors was not to say effortless, but at least it was easy.
Li Ying is able to cast seventh-grade spells, and his spellcasting level is a little higher than Shen Lang. He has also absorbed the lessons learned from the last time, so this time he will definitely be more difficult to deal with than last time.
So when Shen Lang realized that Li Ying might also be involved in the siege, he immediately raised Li Ying's threat level to the highest level, preparing to kill this person with all his strength once discovered.
Just when he was thinking about which card to use to kill Li Ying, he suddenly paused slightly and stopped.
Just as he stopped, a corpse fell from the sky with a pop in front of him.
The corpse was wearing a tight-fitting night suit, a mask with only its eyes exposed, and carried an Izumo Kingdom standard short sword on its back. It also had hooks, metal cylinders and other small props in its waist.
It looks like he is another ninja from Izumo Country?
Shen Lang looked at the ninja's neck. The wound seemed to have been cut by a sharp blade and was bleeding continuously. He looked up again and saw Xiao Zhao sticking his head out from the leaves and meowing sweetly at him.
, then retracted his head and disappeared.
Shen Lang smiled and continued to move forward:
"You have made a mistake... the dark forest is my home field!"
…
"He finally used the sword. The three brothers of the He family and the two Izumo genin all died from sword wounds."
"What happened to these killers? One looked like his back of the head was smashed with a hammer, and two looked like their necks were wiped with a small blade. Judging from their postures when they died, they should be in a latent state and did not have time to make any move.
If you react in any way, you will be killed!"
"That kid's position is so strange... Judging from the few footprints, he is obviously moving forward, but why can he always intercept and kill the killers ambush in the trees on the side in time? His movement skills are too erratic!
"
"Don't forget, that kid is a master of stealth and a professional killer. Such weird and erratic movements are exactly in line with his characteristics as a 'master of stealth'. I'm afraid this dark forest is not his burial place, but his wanton
A hunting ground for slaughter.”
"A corpse was found again! This time it's the 'Five Tigers'!"
"How did you die?"
"The bosses of the five tigers who destroyed the family, the second and fifth died of sword wounds. Two of them were beheaded and one had his throat slit. They were all killed with one sword. The third and fourth were both wiped out by blades during the roundabout attack.
The wound was small but bruising, and the carotid artery was accurately severed, causing rapid blood loss and death. It was the same way as the two Izumo ninjas who had their necks wiped."
"The weapons of the five tiger bosses, the second child, and the fifth child were also broken. It was thought that they were cut off by the fourth-grade sword 'Xuan Bingjian' that the boy captured. The third and fourth children showed no signs of taking action, probably until they were wiped out.
It took my neck to react."
"More and more people are dying...and until now, he still shows no signs of exhaustion and fatigue, and his killings are still crisp, ruthless and precise. I suspect...he may have some kind of special physical talent, physical strength
Their energy is far beyond that of ordinary people, and they will not be exhausted easily.”
"That's right. It's not a pity to kill some cannon fodder, but if this continues, I'm afraid that not only will I not be able to force that kid to use his methods, but it will also exhaust his physical strength, energy, and trump cards. It will actually make him become more and more courageous in killing and build up an invincible momentum.
.We can’t let him go on a killing spree. This kid is growing very fast, and the more he kills, the stronger he gets. We must start immediately and surround him with all our strength. If we delay it any longer, this kid will probably become more and more difficult to deal with!"
"Based on his forward speed, he will pass through Chixia Valley in half an hour. Let the Great Eagle King inform everyone to meet at Chixia Valley and prepare to launch a siege! Before that, remove all ambushes and do not allow any
If someone attacks him again, give him some time to calm down and eliminate the momentum he has built up!"
…
Chixia Valley.
It is more than two hundred and twenty feet long, more than thirty feet at its widest point, and more than ten feet at its narrowest point.
Although it is a valley, the bottom of the valley has been renovated over the years and has become a wide and smooth road connecting the north and south, making it easy for horses and cars to pass.
But on both sides of the valley, there are steep mountains and ridges. The cliffs are sharp, the grass is deep, the forests are dense, thorns are thick, and poisonous insects are everywhere.
Even martial arts masters would find it difficult to cross the mountain in broad daylight, so they could only take the official road through this valley.
At this moment, Shen Lang arrived at the southern end of the valley under the sparse starlight.
Looking at the spacious entrance of the valley, Shen Lang stopped walking and did not rush into the valley entrance.
He touched his chin and muttered to himself:
"It has been almost an hour, and no one has come to attack me... None of the real masters have shown up. The killers must not be dead, so they are holding back their big move? If not unexpected, it is a real drama.
, it should be in this valley.
"Mrs. Zhao has joined forces with Ghost King Dong... The enemy has such an accurate grasp of my location. There is a pair of eyes in the sky that have been staring at me. Is it that big eagle? So the remnants of the South China Sea Sword Sect should also be taken into consideration.
.
"The Nanhai Sword Sect's True Qi Realm has all died, and two of the six fifth-grade elders have died, leaving four fifth-grade ones. Since the three parties have merged and the enemy has been lenient, I think the number of fifth-grade warriors has doubled.
Times, eight. Just eight fifth-grade ones...well, let’s not fight!”
Thinking of this, Shen Lang turned around and left.
If there were only four, or even five or six fifth-grade warriors, he could still give it a try:
Xiao Yu, Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Gu all have spells that can pose a fatal threat to fifth-level warriors, and Shen Lang also has Taoist skills and equipment that are enough to threaten fifth-level warriors.
With a suit of armor, it's probably not a big problem to kill five or six fifth-grade ones.
But eight fifth-grade soldiers, plus an unknown number of miscellaneous soldiers, as well as the conjurer Li Ying, were still on the battlefield prepared by the enemy...
Shen Lang thought it would be better to be more stable.
He hoped that the enemy would use the tactic of adding fuel to the fire and come to chase him in waves instead of swarming him with all his troops.
The method of fighting in the forest is quite good. They come up in twos and threes. They can kill comfortably and die happily. Both sides are satisfied, so why bother with such a big battle?
"There's more than one way to the capital. The worst I can do is find another way..."
Shen Lang thought to himself, opened his voice and sang:
"Across the world, he is full of daring and daring, shocking the dreams of the world! He is magnanimous and light, like a man's chest, with infinite power, so strong! Arrogant and arrogant, laughing at thousands of waves..."
In the midst of a song full of heroic spirit, with no preface and no follow-up words, Shen Lang strode forward, calmly, retracing his steps, and walked away.
"He's gone! He went back the way he came!"
"Damn it! Did he notice the ambush in the valley?"
"Damn it, this kid is too cautious! He is so timid, yet he has the nerve to sing something shamelessly, and he is so courageous in the world..."
"Stop talking nonsense, what should we do now? Continue to wait for him in the valley?"
"Well, it's almost midnight now. There's no moon tonight and it's too dark in the valley. Maybe he feels uneasy because of this and doesn't want to cross the Chixia Valley at night. When it gets light, he might..."
"No, since he has noticed something is wrong, I'm afraid he won't go to Chixia Valley again after dawn. If there is no reason, he will go another way."
"It takes more than a hundred miles to change the route..."
"For an expert, a detour of more than a hundred miles is nothing."
"Then what should we do? Continue to stare at him and set an ambush in front of him?"
"This kid is too cautious. Once he has doubts, he would rather take a detour overnight than take risks easily. Even if we rush in front of him again to set up an ambush, I'm afraid he won't run into the trap."
"you mean?"
"Everyone is dispatched to chase them one after another!"
"It should have been like this a long time ago! To deal with a junior whose martial arts is up to seventh level and Taoist skills are up to ninth level, so many of us are actually so cautiously ambush. If word spreads, it will make people laugh!"
"Don't be careless. This guy is rich in tricks, skilled in killing, and extremely dangerous. The many killers who died silently before are examples! He even has a record of killing fifth-grade Dacheng warriors head-on..."
"Shut up, my brother was just careless for a moment, and he succeeded in plotting against him. If we fight openly and honestly, that kid is no match for my brother!"
"Oh, but Ghost King Dong was indeed killed by him with a fish from the front. I was at the scene and saw it clearly..."
"You bitch, you dare to insult my brother's reputation? I will fight you to the death!"
"Okay, stop arguing! Miss Qianxue and Mr. Li Ying want to avenge their brother and lord, Mrs. Zhao wants to avenge your brother, and we want to avenge the young master, the elder, the master... Everyone
We all have a grudge against that Shen Lang, so why bother starting an internal fight? If we argue a few more words, Shen Lang will hide in the woods again!"
After a while of silence, everyone finally put aside their arguments and reached an agreement.
Later, the sound of horse hooves sounded in Chixia Valley.
Hundreds of riders surged out of the valley and chased Shen Lang in the direction he left.
Shen Lang was striding back along the official road when he suddenly heard the dull sound of hoofbeats coming from behind, as dense as a shower. Looking back, he saw a large group of riders approaching on horseback in a menacing manner under the starlight.
"I really caught up with you!"
Shen Lang's heart moved, and he sent a mental message that had been sneaking in the forest beside the road. Xiao Gu, Xiao Zhao, who had never appeared at the entrance of the valley, then turned around to face the enemy cavalry.
Holding a knife in both hands, his back straight, he stood proudly in the middle of the official road, expressionlessly looking at the hundreds of riders who were getting closer and closer. Looking at the posture, it seemed that they were going to fight one against a hundred, with one foot against a hundred riders.
However, when the front row of riders was only a hundred meters away from him, he suddenly, without saying a word, flew down the mountain like a tiger and flew into the woods beside the road.
Those swift and swift movements made the riders in the front row, who had drawn knives in their hands and were ready for battle, freeze for a while...
