Chapter 87

From Duan Xiaolong's shout to Chen Yu blocking the deadly sword strike of the Ghost Shadow with the Green Scale Bracer, it was only a breath's time.

That sword strike suddenly appeared.

Duan Xiaolong's heart skipped a beat.

The Duan family was one of the few big families in Chu Country. They had some understanding of the various forces.

The "Snake and Ghost Shadow" was one of the top killers in Chu Country.

The "Snake and Ghost Shadow" was divided into two killers: Snake and Ghost Shadow.

The "Snake" was good at controlling snakes, and the "Snake" it controlled was a poisonous species that was good at hiding.

Those poisonous snakes were raised with poison from birth, and after several years or even more than ten years of training, they were hard to guard against.

Even with Chen Yu's senses, he didn't notice the snake's lurking until it bit him.

With the power of the "Bronze Statue Skill", Chen Yu blocked the "Snake"'s attack and killed a poisonous snake at the viscera refining stage.

This already surprised Duan Xiaolong.

Because the "Snake and Ghost Shadow" had more than a 45% chance of success with a poisonous snake. Even if one could avoid the snake's bite, the smell of the venom would make one dizzy, and ordinary people at the viscera refining stage would find it hard to resist.

However.

Chen Yu not only blocked the poisonous snake, but also blocked the more powerful "Ghost Shadow".

The Ghost Shadow had reached the late stage of the viscera refining stage. His attainments in Movement Techniques could be said to be unfathomable, which was why he was called Ghostly Shadow.

The Ghost Shadow's sword was a specially made poisonous sword, suitable for assassination.

When this sword was launched, it was almost silent. It contained a strong poison and had been tempered with the venom of the "Snake" for many years.

That sword would definitely seal the throat as soon as it saw blood!

However.

This sword did not break Chen Yu's defense, not even his skin.

Ding!

The poisonous sword drew a string of sparks on the "Green Scale Bracer", and the latter's scales suddenly dimmed.

The remaining power naturally could not break Chen Yu's "Bronze Statue Skill".

"How is this possible …"

The Ghost Shadow's haggard face showed a trace of horror. After so many years of assassination, it was the first time he encountered such a turtle shell.

Fiery Cloud Fist!

Chen Yu cried out in surprise. His heart skipped a beat as he gathered his strength and punched out.

He did not take out the Enigmatic Heavy Sword on his back. That would take time, and it was not suitable for close combat.

Whoosh!

As he swung his fist out, a fist shadow the size of a bucket condensed into the shape of a python. It let out a low roar that shook his vital energy, blood, and soul.

It was the Fist Energy Condensed Evil Qi!

Today. Chen Yu's Inner Breath Fist Technique was at a higher level. With a slight accumulation of strength in his heart, he would be able to condense his fist force.

At such a close distance, no matter how brilliant Ghostly Shadow's movement technique was, it was impossible for him to dodge.

Dream on!

He forced himself to circulate his Inner Breath, and a layer of faint black patterns appeared on his semi-precious armor, blocking the punch.

He thought: Chen Yu is only at the Illuminating Pulse stage, even if he is at the early stage of the Organs Refining stage, under the protection of the semi-precious leather armor, it is not enough to seriously injure him.

Boom!

The moment the fist landed and the killing aura exploded, Ghost Shadow realized that he was wrong.

A wave of domineering, gloomy, and cold killing intent surged into his body.

Crack!

The most terrifying thing was that the huge brute force broke several of his ribs through the semi-precious armor.

Wah!

Ghost Shadow spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body could not help but curl up, his face pale.

That blow just now seemed to come from a fierce beast king that was close to the Qi Transformation stage. If not for the semi-precious armor's protective layer, he was afraid that he would have been smashed by that punch.

One must know.

Chen Yu had already accumulated strength in his heart for that punch. The strength of the Copper Bones and the Cloud Killing Fist had invisibly increased by a few percent.

Bang!

Ghost Shadow was smashed to the bottom of the tree by the punch. He was already seriously injured, a few of his ribs were broken, and his internal organs were bleeding.

"Ghost Shadow …"

On the other side, Snake Tuo exclaimed.

The scene in front of him was beyond his expectations.

Before.

When the two learned that the target was only at the Illuminating Pulse stage, they were somewhat disdainful to make a move. The employer offered a very generous reward before they could accept it.

Heavy Sword Formation!

With a flash, Chen Yu's peak Cloud Steps was activated. He leaped to the bottom of the tree like a shadow, approached Ghost Shadow, and swung his heavy sword.

Whoosh!

The heavy sword dragged a half-moon shaped sword aura, accompanied by a heavy sword shadow and a gust of wind, covering the bottom of the ground.

"Not good —"

Ghost Shadow, who had not yet landed, his qi and blood were fluctuating, and his injuries had not stabilized.

He had miscalculated again. The opponent's movement technique was also so brilliant.

Chen Yu pressed down from above, with the advantage of the right time and place, and the range attack of the precious heavy sword, Ghost Shadow could not dodge at all.

Go!

Ghost Shadow was shocked and angry, and barely managed to block with the short sword in his hand.

Clang!

The terrifying heavy force of the Mysterious Heavy Sword directly smashed Ghost Shadow, along with the sword, and the precious poisonous sword also flew out of his hand.

The short sword and the heavy sword collided, and with the huge disparity in strength, it was naturally not a match.

Furthermore.

Chen Yu had just heavily injured Ghost Shadow with one punch, and the latter had not yet landed, and had not yet had time to catch his breath. Ghost Shadow hastily took the blow, and did not even have 15% of his peak power.

Puff!

Ghost Shadow's body trembled, and he spat out two mouthfuls of blood. A deep bloody wound appeared on his arm, and his entire left shoulder and arm had lost feeling.

In an instant, he was fatally injured, and his arm was almost crippled.

Swish!

Chen Yu's figure flashed, quickly approaching, and stepped on the precious poisonous sword that had fallen to the ground.

Thinking about it.

If he lost this sword, the opponent was like a poisonous snake that had lost its fangs.

"No — my sword!"

Ghost Shadow growled, his face full of shock and anger.

But facing the pressure of Chen Yu's heavy sword, the internal injury backfired, and he could not resist at all.

"Retreat, or we won't be able to leave."

On the other side, the grey-robed old man "Snake Tuo" whispered, his voice full of helplessness.

As a top killer, if one attack failed, he would retreat thousands of miles.

Moreover, the assassination of the two would alarm the experts of the Sect in the Northern Mountain Spirit Garden.

Swish swish!

Ghost Shadow in black, dragging several overlapping shadows where he was, avoided the pursuit of Chen Yu's heavy sword.

"Go!"

The two turned into ghostly shadows, flying toward the deep mountains near the Northern Mountain Spirit Garden.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this time, Duan Xiaolong and Chen Yu met up, and the two chased for dozens of feet, but were suddenly intercepted by a dozen poisonous snakes.

Puff puff puff!

The two attacked and killed more than a dozen poisonous snakes at the Soothing Pulse Stage.

But at this time. The figures of "Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow" had already blended into the night, blurring.

"Don't chase, look at the others."

Duan Xiaolong whispered.

Ordinary Viscera Refining Stage cultivators were lucky to survive the joint assassination of "Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow".

In recent years.

"Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow" almost never failed in the assassination. There were even a few peak Viscera Refining Stage cultivators who died in their hands.

The combination of these two people was once known to kill anyone under the Qi Transformation Stage.

"This sword, take it as my spiritual loss …"

With a smile on his face, Chen Yu held a dark gray short sword in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Duan Xiaolong looked at the sword with a bit of envy.

"This sword of Ghost Shadow is called" Dark Snake Sword ". It is made from the poisonous fangs of the Poisonous Snake King, combined with thousand-year iron wood and other precious materials. This sword is tempered with the venomous snake liquid of 'Snake Tuo' all year round. It can be said to be a highly poisonous sword. It is definitely a top low-grade treasure. "

So powerful?

Chen Yu was surprised and put away the Dark Snake Venomous Sword.

"Losing this sword is even more painful for Phantom Shadow than losing an arm."

Duan Xiaolong couldn't help but sigh.

The two of them investigated for a while.

In the end, they found that the other two patrol groups had been poisoned and were in a state of coma.

Duan Xiaolong immediately fed them antidote pills.

"They were poisoned with ordinary snake venom, not too deep. It seems that 'Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow' had some scruples and didn't want to offend the Sect too much. They only targeted you. "

Duan Xiaolong came to a conclusion.

"Targeted me?"

Chen Yu thought of the thrilling and terrifying assassination.

If it was an ordinary Viscera Refining Stage cultivator, they wouldn't have the strength to fight back and would be easily captured and killed.

"Did you offend anyone?"

Duan Xiaolong glanced at Chen Yu and paused. "I think the person who wanted to assassinate is in cahoots with members of the Sect, or even a member of the Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to be so familiar with the geographical environment of the Spirit Garden and easily attack the patrols and hidden sentries. "

Chen Yu nodded, feeling that it made sense.

There were many suspicious points.

The Northern Mountain Spirit Garden was one of the important places of the Yunyue Gate. Outsiders were not familiar with the internal geographical environment.

Moreover.

The person who could invite 'Snake Tuo' should be a big force, or at least not an ordinary person.

A small character like Wang Lingyun didn't have this power.

"Seventh Princes … or Kunling?"

These two names temporarily appeared in Chen Yu's mind.

The possibility of Kunling was smaller.

This person was a bit arrogant and didn't have much conflict with Chen Yu. He was just a little unhappy because Chen Yu didn't agree to trade "Tears of Ice Heart."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this time, some Yunyue Gate members rushed to the scene of the incident.

"What happened?"

A peak Viscera Refining Stage patrol captain asked.

When they learned that the Snake Tuo had attacked and failed to assassinate Chen Yu, these people were surprised.

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two figures, under the cover of the night, left the periphery of the Northern Mountain Spirit Garden.

One of the ghostly shadows said with cold resentment, "My 'Dark Snake Sword' … I must get it back."

After losing the poisonous sword, his strength was reduced by 85% to 95%.

At this time.

Whoosh ~

In the darkness ahead, a layer of faint black mist appeared, blending with the night, covering the rolling dust behind.

"Who is it!"

Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow heard a slight "Tap" sound.

Suddenly.

The faint black mist in front of them expanded, vaguely showing pairs of cold green eyes of jackals that were more than ten feet long.

The strange thing was.

These jackals were not only as strong as tigers and leopards, but also emitted wisps of black mist. The tyrannical and fierce aura on their bodies was different from that of ordinary fierce beasts.

"Demonized jackals!"

The Snake Tuo's face changed dramatically, and a chill of fear hit him.

The strength of these demonized jackals was close to the Viscera Refining Stage, which was not scary.

What was scary was the related rumors!

Tap tap! Tap tap!

In the faint black mist, on the back of each demonized jackal sat a cold and tall figure, holding weapons such as sabers, swords, sickles, and other weapons.

Roughly sensing, there were at least 75 figures in the mist.

"Run!"

Snake Tuo and Ghost Shadow felt their scalps go numb, and they flew in another direction.

But at an unknown time.

The area where the two were was shrouded in the faint black mist.

"Whoo!"

A frightening roar, like rolling thunder, swept over the two with invisible sound waves.

The owner of the voice was a tower-like black-skinned giant, sitting on a giant purple-black tiger, like a cold overlord.

Plop! Plop!

Just a low roar, the powerful pressure and sound waves shook the two to the ground, and they vomited blood on the spot.
