Chapter 1823
Tu Xiong had mysteriously disappeared, and there was little hope of searching in the vast swamp. Lady Storm suggested to leave as soon as possible to prevent any more mishaps.
Master Peach Blossom and Gu Chen had no objections, so the three of them continued to move forward. This time, they were much closer to each other, and they were even more cautious.
However, this was not the end of it.
After the time it took for a joss stick to burn, Lady Storm disappeared!
Just a moment ago, she was still in front of everyone, but after passing through a dense forest with poor visibility, she disappeared into thin air!
The whole process took less than a thousandth of a second. It seemed like she did not even have the time to cry for help before she was abducted by an unknown existence!
After such a series of events, Master Peach Blossom's face turned ugly, and he mumbled, "How could this be? This should not have happened. "
"It's a curse. Seems like Yu Ying was right, there is a curse in this Ancient Desolate Swamp, "Gu Chen said. Hearing this, Wuji T-Rex's face turned weird.
"How could there be a curse? Someone must be playing tricks in the dark! "
Master Peach Blossom did not seem to consider the possibility of it being a curse. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, when you separated from us, where did you go?"
"Why do you ask?" Gu Chen's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"Nothing, there must be a reason for this. I want to understand the situation as much as possible," Master Peach Blossom said.
"Could it be that you think that when I moved alone, I offended someone I shouldn't have offended, and that someone is secretly taking revenge on me?" Gu Chen's face darkened.
"There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Ancient Desolate Swamp. You and I could have unintentionally caused trouble. It is not impossible. Fellow Daoist Chen, please think carefully." Master Peach Blossom's face was gloomy.
"I have always been very careful, there shouldn't be such a possibility. Fellow Daoist Chen, you worry too much," Gu Chen pretended to be unhappy and said coldly.
"It's good that there isn't. I was just asking casually, please don't take it to heart. Now that there are only the two of us left, we have to help each other in order to leave the swamp safely, "Master Peach Blossom said with a bitter smile.
"That should be the case." Gu Chen nodded.
The two of them didn't say anything else. The Peach Blossom Householder's speed suddenly increased. He planned to leave the Great Desolate Swamp as fast as he could.
As for the two missing people, he had no time to worry about them. Everything could wait until they reached the open ground.
"Did you see clearly what happened?"
Gu Chen followed behind Householder Peach Blossom steadily and asked Limitless Tyrannosaurus Rex through voice transmission.
"I still haven't found any traces of the other party. Master, are you the same?" Unbounded Tyrant Dragon asked.
"Even if a normal Hidden Dragon were to spy on me, I would be able to detect it. However, this fellow who attacked me came and went without a trace. He is not simple."
Gu Chen shook his head. He had thought that he had been careless when Tu Xiong had been kidnapped the first time. If he had observed carefully, he would have discovered something.
However, when Lady Storm disappeared, his attention had been focused on the surroundings, but he still did not discover when or how the other party made her move. It could be seen that the other party was really powerful.
This was a top-notch assassin, which piqued Gu Chen's interest.
"Master, you kidnapped the clansmen of the Hidden Dragon Clan. The other party should be coming for you. Right now, we can't even find him. If he suddenly assassinates you, it will be very dangerous. "Unbounded Tyrant Dragon grew fearful.
"Don't worry, he can't hurt me." Gu Chen added calmly. "I'm just afraid that he won't show himself. If that's the case, I'll be very disappointed."
Unbounded Tyrant Dragon was very helpless. This person always liked to put himself in dangerous situations. There were obviously better ways.
After a while.
Gu Chen landed on top of a tree as light as a feather. He looked at the empty space in front of him and smiled.
Master Peach Blossom had also disappeared.
The same method, came and went without a trace. In the blink of an eye, Master Peach Blossom had disappeared from the world.
Gu Chen stopped moving forward. Now that he was alone, there was no need for him to hide anymore.
"I know your identity. Your clansmen are in my hands. They have already confessed everything. So, don't hide anymore. Show yourself and have a good chat with me! "
Gu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. His voice reverberated in the wilderness.
It was quiet in the swamp. Seeing that no one responded, Gu Chen's smile became somewhat sinister. "If you don't want to show your face and continue playing hide and seek with me, then I'll kill those two Hidden Dragons first!"
The blatant threat and the unmistakable identity of the person hiding in the dark finally made him unable to hold back.
Clang!
A loud and clear sword chime suddenly rang in Gu Chen's ears. Just as he heard the sound, the sword was already at his neck!
The opponent was proficient in stealth. He had already approached Gu Chen and launched a sure-kill attack!
The sword was right in front of him, but Gu Chen did not panic. It was as if he had already expected it. He slightly tilted his head to the left.
It was just a slight dodge, and the sword missed by a hair's breadth. Gu Chen raised his right hand and casually waved his palm.
The sneak attacker's reaction was extremely fast. After the attack failed, he immediately retreated. Gu Chen did not hit his target. He only saw a shadow before he disappeared.
"Not bad. Your skills are indeed top-notch." Gu Chen praised.
"Hmph, don't be too proud. You were just lucky just now."
A voice finally responded from the void. It was a young and deep voice.
"Just luck? Are you sure? "Gu Chen's eyes had turned completely golden as he said calmly.
"You can't see me. Even if I come in front of you, you won't be able to sense me. Just based on this point, you are not my opponent. You were lucky to dodge the previous attack, but you won't be able to dodge the next one! "The person in the dark was extremely confident.
"Did you kill the three people from before? Or are you just going to kill me? "Gu Chen asked calmly.
"Hmph, you're about to die, and you still have the mood to care about others?" The person in the dark sneered.
"You're so murderous. Aren't you afraid that I'll really kill two of your clansmen?" Gu Chen asked again.
"They've been in your hands for so long. I'm afraid that they're already in danger. If they're not dead, killing you first is equivalent to saving them! "
"I see. The logic is simple and crude." Gu Chen looked like he agreed.
Clang!
He wanted to ask more questions, but the other party attacked again. This time, the person also came to his side and thrust a sword that was almost impossible to dodge at a very close distance!
However, Gu Chen's body suddenly fell into the forest and he had already dodged the sword before it reached him.
"You dodged it again?" The person in the dark said in surprise.
He clearly did not discover his position, but he could dodge his attack twice. Wasn't this fellow's reaction too fast?
Limitless Tyrannosaurus Dragon was relieved to see that Gu Chen had dodged its killer move twice in a row. It moved away from the battle between the two and murmured. "The foresight instinct is indeed not simple."
It knew very well that the Hidden Dragon Clan's invisibility talent was unparalleled in the world. The person who attacked was obviously an outstanding member of the Hidden Dragon Clan. His ability to kill stealthily was very impressive and rare in the entire Dao World.
