Chapter 298 Attacks Again
After listening to Xuan Che's words, Yu Sheng couldn't help but think more, and he also had more speculations in his mind about the activities of the Chongsheng Hermitage in the border area.
But a sudden sound in the fog interrupted his thoughts.
"Plop", it sounds like the sound of feet stepping into puddles.
Yu Sheng immediately looked in the direction where the sound came from, but he only saw milky white mist slowly rising and falling not far away.
There was only dry ground all around, with no water at all, not to mention anyone walking on puddles in the fog.
However, the more this happened, the more vigilant Yu Sheng became.
Abnormal sounds appeared in the environment visible to the naked eye, which could only mean that something "unreasonable" was approaching.
"It's getting dark." Hu Li whispered beside him.
With the reminder from the fox girl, Yu Sheng immediately noticed the change in the sky.
When they went out, it was still daytime in the real world city, so this "city in the fog" that always "corresponded" to the real world city was also daytime. Despite the thick fog, the sky was still obviously bright, but at some point, the bright sky was rapidly becoming dim.
It was as if there were thick dark clouds covering the sky above the thick fog.
Yu Sheng frowned, and at this moment, he heard the strange sound again: click.
The sound of footsteps on the puddles appeared again, and this time it was closer! Almost at the same time as the footsteps appeared, he heard the second and third sounds!
Click, click, the footsteps suddenly became dense, coming from many different directions, some far and some near.
An inexplicable intuition emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Yu Sheng suddenly turned his head to look at the fog several meters away. Almost at the same time, another sound of footsteps came from that direction. This time, he finally saw some traces.
There were almost transparent splashes of water in the fog, as if creatures from another dimension were stepping on puddles that were invisible to the naked eye, and the splashes of water wet the fog of the current dimension.
Just when Yu Sheng saw the tiny trace, a faint sound of breaking air suddenly came, and something swooped over.
Yu Sheng only saw an almost transparent, slightly distorted shadow in the fog.
He hurriedly raised the stick in his hand, swung it forward horizontally, then dodged to the side, and based on the little afterimage he had just seen, he raised his leg and kicked towards the air!
The mace seemed to hit something. He saw bright sparks bursting out in the air and a huge recoil made his palm numb, but he also successfully blocked the enemy who was rushing towards him. The latter's body froze and he had no choice but to be kicked by Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng felt as if he had kicked a piece of metal.
The next second, he found that his judgment was correct - the attacker was broken into a certain "invisibility" state by his powerful blow, and a "knight" wrapped in heavy brass armor suddenly appeared in the air and flew out horizontally from mid-air. There was a loud bang when he landed, and the armor was directly shattered into loose armor parts all over the ground.
Yu Sheng was shocked when he saw this scene: "What the hell! What the hell?!"
What happened next was even more bizarre.
The broken brass armor was quiet for only a few seconds after it fell to the ground. Suddenly, a large amount of black and sticky, smelly substance reminiscent of swamp mud flowed out of it. Large clumps of "mud" squirmed violently like some kind of mollusk. After breaking away from the armor, it made a disgusting sound and quickly gathered together. It stood up shakily and turned into a hunched humanoid body. Then -
Then a huge fox-radish fireball (an extra-large ball of fox fire) whizzed over and burned the human-shaped mud into ashes.
"What the hell is this!" The little puppet on Yu Sheng's shoulder also screamed, "What disgusting stuff is flowing out of that shell!"
"How would I know what this is?" Yu Sheng said loudly, staring at the brass armor that seemed to have stopped moving and the pile of mud that had been burned to ashes, while constantly adjusting his posture to prepare for the next attack. "I should have brought Little Red Riding Hood with me earlier. She knows a lot!"
"She's in class at this hour—she's a senior in high school!"
Yu Sheng was about to say something when the sudden sound of murderous footsteps around him interrupted what he was about to say. Immediately afterwards, a series of sounds of breaking through the air tore through the surrounding fog.
It seemed that the death of the first attacker angered these "Brass Knights" invisible in the fog. They had been just adjusting the encirclement around them, but finally launched an intensive attack. Phantom splashes of water emerged from the fog, and nearly transparent figures swooped down from all directions!
Yu Sheng only had time to shout "be careful" before he had to swing the mace in his hand and concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of him.
The next moment, dense black threads like a net suddenly burst out from his side. Those threads silently shuttled through the fog, covering all directions where enemy breath or strange movements appeared.
The spreading spider webs swept the air indiscriminately. Even the enemies were invisible, but they were touched and entangled by the sweeping spider silk. With just one contact, Irene could at least cause them a few seconds of interference and delay. The disturbed "Brass Knights" were immediately blocked on their charge. Some stumbled and fell, while others froze in place. Along with these interferences, their concealment effect was instantly weakened, and translucent shadows like glass sculptures covered with water film appeared in the air one after another.
Yu Sheng did not miss this excellent opportunity. He swung his mace and smashed away an enemy who suddenly hesitated in front of him.
The heavy and solid brass armor disintegrated in the air, and the sticky black substance exploded and spread out like mud being squeezed out of a container.
Hu Li pounced fiercely at another armor that appeared in mid-air. She kicked it away first, then rushed forward, grabbed the arm of the armor and pulled it hard, then the helmet, the heavy breastplate, the legs... Almost instantly, she relied entirely on the brute force of a beast to tear the armor into pieces, and then the fox fire behind her burst and rose, and the blazing flames burned all the mud around her to ashes.
And suddenly a cold breath appeared on the battlefield, accompanied by a clear metallic sound.
Yu Sheng subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Xuan Che taking a step forward, and a sharp sword that was constantly emitting a light blue chill appeared in his hand at some point. The blade cut through the air, and even the thick fog around it instantly condensed, turning into countless fine ice crystals that fell to the ground.
Frost was everywhere, and the icy air spread throughout the fog with Xuan Che as the center.

Yu Sheng was immediately attracted by this scene, and subconsciously said in his heart - he is worthy of being a cultivator, look at the special effects!
Then he saw Xuan Che step forward, casually swung his hand, and the sharp sword emitting an icy aura flew away from his hand, but it did not fly towards the enemy, but floated behind him as if it had a spirit. Then he raised his hand and made a gesture, quickly drawing a few golden talismans in the air, and with his other hand he flipped in the air, and without knowing when, he grabbed a dozen pills of various kinds and threw them into his mouth one after another...
Yu Sheng: “……?”
The next moment, he saw various colors of light rising from Xuan Che's body. With each pill he took, the light around him seemed to become stronger. Then he quickly produced a piece of talisman paper from nowhere and casually threw it into the air. The talisman paper spontaneously ignited in the air and turned into streams of light that moved around his body. Before the talisman paper was burned out, he took out a handful of pills and threw them into his mouth as if they were free...
After several rounds of struggle in the blink of an eye, he finally stopped and stopped in front of a brass knight who was trapped in mid-air by spider silk. Then he lowered his waist slightly, raised his hand, took a deep breath, and threw a... simple straight punch.
Yu Sheng heard a very dull "puff" sound, which sounded like someone blowing away a handful of dust, followed by a strange and low humming sound.
The thick fog that lingered over the entire block dissipated in an instant. A breeze blew across his face, and the seven or eight bronze knights in front of Xuan Che, along with a building further away, were blown away.
Yu Sheng even suspected that the space in the distance was distorted because he saw vague and suspicious cracks emerging in the air.
But he had no time to marvel at the opponent's outrageous straight punch.
Because just as the surrounding fog dissipated and a large number of bronze knights appeared from the air due to the aftermath of the punch, he suddenly felt a breath - that was the small amount of blood he had separated before.
It was that "artificial saint"! This breath came at an astonishing speed, almost teleporting from a hiding place to the vicinity. Yu Sheng only had time to look up in the direction of the breath, and saw a dark shadow suddenly appear in the air more than ten meters away, and the familiar, tall and slender "steel" puppet jumped out directly from the shadow, as light as dancing, but as fast as lightning, and suddenly stabbed Xuan Che who had not had time to retract his fist.
In a flash, Xuan Che's figure flashed before those sharp and deadly blades approached his back, and then he turned into a flash of lightning and appeared more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye. Almost at the same time, several dazzling and scorching beams shot out from the side of Yu Sheng's face, fiercely sweeping towards the "artificial saint" who had suddenly attacked.
Irene (Pro version) had not made a move since just now, because she knew that although those bronze knights were strange, they were no match for Yu Sheng and Hu Li, not to mention that there was also Xuan Che who should be very capable at the scene. Yu Sheng said that the "artificial saint" might be lingering nearby. She was very clear that the energy in her body was limited, so she had been holding it in until now.
Faced with this sudden and unfamiliar attack, the artificial saint reacted extremely quickly - she instantly dodged to the side, bent her joints to the point of almost breaking, and actually managed to avoid most of the light beams.
But a beam of light still hit her side.
The foxfire could only leave a black mark when it hit it. The armored shell, which could withstand all kinds of small and medium caliber fire and was immune to most spells, was directly penetrated by this "Erin Ray".
