Chapter 81 - Killing"Hiss!"
This was the second time Xiang Yun had sucked in a breath of cold air, fear filling his heart!
The strength of this person"s claws were extremely astonishing. If he really touched his neck, he would probably be able to cut off his neck in an instant.
After dodging such a terrifying attack, Xiang Yun rolled on the ground, trying to gain some distance from this person!
However, they had not expected that person"s body was like a ghost. He had actually rushed to Xiang Yun"s front in the blink of an eye and landed right in front of him with a claw covering him!
Xiang Yun felt something was wrong. Right now, his body was rolling on the ground and he could not use any strength. He could not use the Divine Transformation movement skill, so it was too late for him to dodge.
Xiang Yun did not dare to use his body to block this terrifying claw. In a moment of desperation, he grasped the sword hilt with one hand and the sheath with the other to block in front of him!
The sharp claw did indeed hit in an instant, heavily striking the sword"s body!
"Clang!"When the two clashed, it was actually like a heavy hammer striking a bell. Xiang Yun felt a tremendous force come from the body of the Wandering Dragon Sword.
Immediately after, his entire body uncontrollably rubbed against the ground, sliding backwards. Finally, with a "boom", he crashed into a willow tree as thick as an adult"s thigh!
Pain!
A sharp pain gushed out from his palms and his hands as well as his back!
However, the thing that was killing him was not the bone-piercing pain, but the black clothed man who looked like he was suffering from gangrene from the bones.
Just as Xiang Yun hit the trunk of the willow tree, before he could even moan, the black figure had already rushed in front of Xiang Yun!
The latter wore black clothing that covered her head and face, leaving only a pair of eyes that flickered with a cold light like a falcon staring at Xiang Yun.
"Die!"
The black-clothed man let out a low cry as he swiped his claw at Xiang Yun"s neck. Every move was fatal, not even giving the opponent the slightest time to breathe!
Faced with such a powerful claw from the man in black, Xiang Yunqiang summoned all of his cloud energy in a life and death situation. His body abruptly rolled to the side!
His feet gripped the hilt of the Wandering Dragon Sword and as he rolled, he pulled out the Wandering Dragon Sword with one hand and swung it towards the surging claw!
"Clang!"
The instant the Wandering Dragon Sword was unsheathed, a streak of silver-blue light flashed with the sound of dense electric currents!
Facing the sudden bright light, the man in black felt a sharp Qi rushing towards his claw.
The latter immediately dodged the sharp sword and slashed out at the willow tree with the sword edge of the Wandering Dragon Sword. It actually completely cut off the willow tree!
"Mmm, a second-grade cloud weapon!"
The black-robed figure let out a sharp cry of alarm! A pair of sinister eyes lit up with a fiery glow!Taking advantage of the black-clothed man"s dazed state, Xiang Yun finally flipped over, not giving him enough time to calm the disordered aura around his chest. Xiang Yun circulated his entire body"s cloud energy to the extreme.
His entire body was like a loach in the mud of a rice field, rushing out of the quagmire!
Xiang Yun charged towards the east side of the Willow River. The place was brightly lit and filled with human voices. As long as he rushed over there, this black-clothed man would definitely retreat!
However, Xiang Yun was fast, the black-clothed man was even faster. If Xiang Yun could be said to be a loach, then the black-clothed man was a pike!
Facing the strange figure of Xiang Yun, the latter suddenly kicked the remaining willow tree stump beside him!
"Bam!"The willow tree stump exploded with a bang as the latter used the recoil to leap several dozen feet into the air and rush in the direction Xiang Yun had escaped in!
A blur soared through the air, and in the next moment, the black-clothed man had already landed a few dozen feet away from Xiang Yun!
The moment he saw the black-clothed man descend, Xiang Yun knew in his heart that he was finished.This man in black must have already reached the Yellow Cloud Realm. Even with his strange movement technique, it was still useless in the face of such a huge difference in strength!
Xiang Yun suddenly stopped his charge forward, his gaze cold as he stared at the black-clothed man in front of him.This was the first time that he had looked at this person in such a complete manner. This person"s figure was average and even, making him look very ordinary. However, his pair of slender arms stood out prominently like two eagle claws.
At that moment, the man in black was looking at him with a playful expression. At the same time, his gaze was also on the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand. His expression was quite pa.s.sionate!
"Hehe, little brat, I heard that you can"t cultivate your Cloud Power. I didn"t think that your speed would be comparable to a Four Clouds martial artist, and your reaction speed is even faster. Could it be that you have a strong concealment technique?"The black clothed man let out an ear-piercing sound.
"Who are you and who sent you?" Xiang Yun"s expression was grave as he looked at the black-clothed man.
"Hehe, I"m sorry, I never answer a dead person"s question. You should go to the Underworld and ask the King of h.e.l.l about these questions.""You really dare to kill me!" Xiang Yun knew that something was wrong, so he pretended to be calm and shouted!
That man in black smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have been waiting for you for almost a month now. Today, I have finally met you. Today, not only do I want to kill you, but I also want to plunder all the good stuff from your body."
"And then you have to cut off your head to receive the reward, don"t you have any objections to that? "Don"t worry, I"ll kill you first before cutting your head off. That way, it won"t hurt anymore, haha!""You!"
Xiang Yun"s expression was unsightly to the extreme. He had never thought that he would run into this person the moment he escaped the surveillance of the person he was protecting! This motherf * cker"s luck is indeed extremely bad!Xiang Yun"s luck was indeed not good. This black clothed man had actually been hiding under the bridge of the Willow River almost every night for the past month, waiting for Xiang Yun to pa.s.s by in order to ambush and kill him.
However, Xiang Yun had not been to Yang Liuhe"s place for the past month. He had really been waiting for this opportunity. He had originally wanted to give up on this mission if he could not wait for Xiang Yun today.
However, what made the black-clothed man incomparably depressed was that Xiang Yun had actually not come by himself today.
He was followed by an enormous fat cow.The two walked side by side, the black clothed man"s position just right in front of Fatty Niu"s body, which was as fat as a water tank. Xiang Yun"s entire body was almost completely covered.
Although the latter carried a highly toxic hidden bamboo arrow weapon, it was unable to aim at Xiang Yun. Coupled with the fact that there were several guards with extraordinary cultivation behind the two of them, the black-clothed man could only give up his actions!The man in black knew that he wouldn"t have a chance tonight, so he turned around to swim out of the city along with the Willow River.
He did not expect that near the edge of the city wall, he would suddenly hear footsteps on the riverbank. When he raised his head to take a look, he was overjoyed.
Amused, the man in black did not forget his habit of a.s.sa.s.sins hiding in the shadows. He quietly lurked within the Willow River and used the river water to conceal his presence, sticking close to the riverbank and walking side by side with Xiang Yun!At the same time, the black-clothed man stealthily took out the bamboo arrow hidden in his sleeve and placed one end in his mouth, stealthily aiming the other end of the thin bamboo at Xiang Yun.
Just as the black-clothed man was about to aim at Xiang Yun"s throat and prepare to charge his strength!
Without any warning, Xiang Yun suddenly crouched down on the ground. The black-clothed man hurriedly suppressed the bamboo arrow. Before he could aim at Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun had actually used a rock to smash down towards him!
The black-clothed man had not expected Xiang Yun to behave like this at all. He also had not expected that the stone would actually hit the bamboo arrow in his mouth with such precision.If he hadn"t grabbed the bamboo arrow that almost went down his throat in time, he probably would have been poisoned to death and become the most unjustly accused killer in history.
Because of this, the black-clothed man could be said to hold resentment towards Xiang Yun.
Facing the sinister gaze of the black clothed man, Xiang Yun knew that he would most likely be killed this time. However, Xiang Yun was not a person to be easily abandoned. Even if the other party was much stronger than him, he would still go all out!
It was just like in his previous life when he was in an alley and faced off against the three impolite Han Yutong hoodlums. Even though he was holding onto a sharp weapon, he did not give up!
Immediately, the aura within Xiang Yun began to circulate as he stealthily channeled the Art of Creation. A refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, slowly eliminating the burning heat within him.At the same time, the cloud energy within his spirit root spread outwards, filling Xiang Yun"s limbs and bones and filling his entire body with energy!
"Oh, you actually want to resist?" The black-clothed man could clearly feel the change in Xiang Yun"s aura!
The only one who answered him was Xiang Yun. He raised the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hands, which was glowing with a blue and silver light!"Hmph, even ants want to live. Be a good boy and die!"
The black-clothed man let out a shrill cry. Like an eagle spreading its wings, he took a step forward as he flew over to the top of Xiang Yun"s head. His claws were like hooks as they viciously clawed at Xiang Yun"s head!
Seeing this, Xiang Yun did not dare hesitate. With sword in both hands, he slashed out to meet the claws of the man!
However, to Xiang Yun"s shock, the black-clothed person"s claws suddenly reversed in midair, turning into a claw as they clawed towards his chest with a speed so fast that it produced a sound of s.p.a.ce being torn apart!
Xiang Yun"s expression changed as he immediately reversed his longsword, using his sword"s tail to block the attack. However, he was sent flying a dozen steps back.
At the same time, a sharp pain erupted from his chest. Even though Xiang Yun had managed to defend against the claw"s frontal attack, his abdomen had still been pierced by the claw"s tip, leaving behind two b.l.o.o.d.y holes!
"Hmph, with this level of sword technique, you still dare to wear a Cloud Sword? It"s such a waste!"
The black-clothed man had clearly seen that Xiang Yun did not know any exquisite sword techniques. He could not help but sneer before dashing to Xiang Yun"s side once more!The next battle would be extremely difficult. Although Xiang Yun had the sharp advantage of using the Wandering Dragon Sword, even the black-clothed man did not dare to go head to head against the Wandering Dragon Sword.
However, Xiang Yun had not cultivated any sword arts, and his attack had only relied on reaction. His hacking and thrusting techniques were even more unorthodox.
He actually couldn"t use the power of the Wandering Dragon Sword at all. Instead, his hands and feet were tied, and he was forced to retreat continuously. There were a few places where he had been beaten up, and his robe was instantly soaked in blood!
Even so, Xiang Yun"s gaze grew colder and colder, his mind and body calming down. His thoughts became abnormally clear, as if he had become a completely different person in this moment of life and death!
"Hah!"Xiang Yun suddenly let out a loud shout as he slashed out with the Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand. The black clothed man laughed coldly as he dodged to the extreme.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiang Yun leapt high into the air from behind him, landing on one foot and turning around as fast as lightning, fleeing into the distance.
The black clothed man said coldly: "Do you still want to run? Do you think you can escape? Die! "
With the sharp word "die" coming out of his mouth, the black-clothed man"s claws suddenly slashed out from the void!
A tyrannical fluctuation of cloud energy instantly appeared in front of Xiang Yun. Immediately after, an invisible wave of energy slammed heavily into the Wandering Dragon Sword in front of Xiang Yun. It then brought along the Wandering Dragon Sword and struck Xiang Yun"s chest!
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out as Xiang Yun"s body flew backwards, falling onto the riverbank a few meters away. The Wandering Dragon Sword in his hand flew out as well.
Xiang Yun"s body only trembled a few times before it suddenly stiffened. He had stopped moving, as if he had already died!
Seeing this, the black-clothed man let out a cold laugh. His body moved like a ghost, taking the initiative to flash in front of Xiang Yun.
The latter pressed both of her fingers against Xiang Yun"s neck, still worried. Sensing that Xiang Yun"s aura had completely disappeared, her pulse did not even beat. It seemed that he had truly died!
"Heh heh, what a slippery little loach. Killing you took me quite a bit of effort. You forced me to release Yun Li!"
This black-clothed man had originally planned to use his martial arts to quickly kill Xiang Yun, but he had not expected the latter to be so tenacious, forcing him to release his own cloud energy!"It"s better to hurry up and take care of the good stuff on this kid"s body. Perhaps someone has already discovered the fluctuation of Yun Li"s energy."
The man in black mumbled to himself as his body flew towards the Wandering Dragon Sword that had fallen to the ground a short distance away!
