...What's going on? Luo Jiujiang suddenly became worried. Based on his experience on the way here, the closer he got to the edge of the stone tablet, the sparser the population became. As for the junction of the snow-capped peaks and the dense forest, there was absolutely no trace of human life at all, making the southern part where Feng Xue lived look like a place of exile.
Where did so many people come from suddenly moving under the snow?
Luo Jiujiang carefully circled around, trying to avoid the people under the snow. But he soon realized that his efforts were in vain. This kind of arrangement was spread all over the boundary between the dense forest and the snowy peaks, with one set up almost every ten feet or so, which was simply annoying.
Suddenly, a word popped into his mind - "encirclement and suppression"!
Such a large-scale mobilization was indeed a big undertaking. Luo Jiujiang's heart sank as he secretly thought, could this be the trouble Feng Xue had mentioned before?
Was it because the upper realm hadn't held a gathering for a long time, and these people were planning to fight to the death, taking Feng Xue, the girl from the upper realm, as a hostage? Luo Jiujiang pondered the whole thing, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to go back and report the news.
Feng Xue had shown him some kindness when they first met, and this time, she had given him a piece of information for free. Even though Luo Jiujiang found it difficult to protect himself in this world, he couldn't stand by and watch two girls fall into the hands of a group of hungry ghosts.
With his mind made up, Luo Jiujiang mentally outlined the ambush layout he had just observed. He was careful not to alert anyone along the way, but it seemed that the heavens were sincerely trying to play a trick on him.
I don’t know if it was looking for some fresh air or what, but a head suddenly popped out from under the snow not far away.
On the snow, anything not white appeared bare and unobstructed. Luo Jiujiang and the man met eyes, and a bad feeling struck him. He was about to explain that he was just passing by when he heard the man take a deep breath and shout, "Work is coming!"
Luo Jiujiang: “!!!”
In the blink of an eye, like pulling carrots out of mud, dozens of monks emerged from the snow. Suddenly, a sea of heads covered the snow. In a matter of seconds, these ambushed monks dug through the snow and climbed out.
"Plant a pig's brain, and it'll grow a bunch of sausages. What a bountiful harvest..." Luo Jiujiang muttered, and without a second thought, he broke into a run. The dozens of people instantly split into two teams, one chasing him relentlessly while the other attempted to get in front of him and outflank him.
Luo Jiujiang: “…”
He cursed in his heart - he was just thinking about the purpose of these people's encirclement and suppression of Feng Xue, but he didn't expect that they had no intention of making things difficult for Feng Xue. They were not a problem for Feng Xue at all. This group of people was his own problem!
"I should have turned and run when I realized there was an ambush!" Luo Jiujiang stamped his feet in anger, "I became a pig-brained person after I planted one. I'm so stupid!"
The cultivation levels of this group of cultivators were all around the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining. Although none of them could be described as fat, they were not pale and skinny either. It was obvious that they were not here to eat him - with Luo Jiujiang's physique, if he was chopped up and stewed in a pot, there would probably only be enough for each of them to drink a spoonful of broth.
But judging from the ruthlessness of these people's attacks, they really wanted Luo Jiujiang's life.
Before the dozen or so men chasing behind could catch up, the flanking squad ahead had already blocked Luo Jiujiang by five or six men. With no way forward, Luo Jiujiang leaned against a nearby tree, slashed three times, forcing the other men back half a step. Then, with a leap, he forged a gap in the wall of six men.
At the same time, he thrust his right shoulder, curled his left, and slid aside, his shoulder blade flat against the back of the man's knife, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow from behind. Simultaneously, he backhanded Ruye's blade, slashing with it like flowing water. As the two figures crossed, the man holding the twin daggers had already been decapitated!
After a successful strike, Luo Jiujiang's face showed no trace of complacency. He immediately rolled on the ground, dodging an Emei Water Spear that had been driven into the snow. He supported himself with one hand, stood up, and simultaneously parried the attacks of five people. As he brushed past a thin man, he snatched the thin man's only remaining Emei Spear and thrust it into his heart. Then he somersaulted back to the tree and used the trunk to support his back.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Luo Jiujiang asked sternly.
The remaining four men's expressions tensed, and they involuntarily took several steps back. They had obviously not expected that he could kill two of them in such an encirclement. The leader was the burly man whose sword strike had just missed. He gruffly shouted, "Why ask questions about a dead man? Kill him!"
Luo Jiujiang let out a long laugh, slapped the tree trunk with his left hand, and leaped up, hooking his right leg over the thick root. Gathering strength in his waist, he stretched himself like a bow, swinging his entire body in a wide circle like a whip. In the blink of an eye, he gripped the long sword tightly, loosened his ankle, and like an arrow, he flew straight at the man's heart!
His movements were so swift that his opponent couldn't even grunt. Blood splattered, and the knife-wielding man died silently. The remaining three were unable to react, and Luo Jiujiang ran into the formation and chopped one of them down on the spot. Then, Luo Jiujiang kicked the stray dagger from the ground and stabbed it into the back of the fleeing man's head. He then turned around and clamped his elbow, restraining the sole survivor.
"It's unfortunate for our family to have a monkey like me." Luo Jiujiang sighed, "Why did you want to kill me? Can you tell me now?"
The author has something to say: I was called out the day before yesterday when I was posting, and I forgot to mark it _(:3∠)_. I only realized this problem last night, and I am very sorry. I would like to add here that the phrase "The flowers in the forest have faded their spring red, too quickly..." is quoted from "Meeting Each Other" by Li Yu, the Later Emperor.
It's been a week since I took the second test, and I still haven't been able to heal the trauma caused by the scorching sun and ultraviolet rays. Every time I see my black arm, I really want to bleach myself in alcohol qaq
