Chapter 388 Your Martial Arts Was Taught by This King
Xiyan was dressed in silver armor, drawing a cold arc in the morning light, which was even more chilling than the waterfall in the mountains.
Xiao Nanyan's eyes darkened, but he did not draw his sword. He just moved sideways to avoid the sword.
The tip of the sword brushed past his black robe, and the air flow it created blew his long hair.
"Yanyan, in fact, I have already won this third round, but you still refuse to admit defeat? I taught you martial arts, do you really want to fight like a trapped beast?"
Xiyan didn't waste any words. Her sword moves were sharp and ruthless. Each sword strike went straight to the vital points. The sword wind was filled with murderous intent, and it scratched people's cheeks painfully.
Xiao Nanyue dodged left and right, spotted the flaw, and approached her. He stretched out his hand and accurately grasped her sword-holding wrist. With a little force, he took advantage of Xiyan's momentum to pull and twist the sword. The long sword with a cold glow instantly slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground with a clang.
Xiyan dropped her sword and without hesitation, she turned around and left. Her figure flashed as she ran wildly into the mountains.
Xiao Nanyan turned around and instructed Han Xiao:
"You must drive back the remaining Nanzhao soldiers, go down the mountain, and wait for me at the Tianqi Camp!"
Han Xiao looked at Xi Yan's receding figure and frowned slightly:
"Your Majesty, will Xiyan cheat?"
Xiao Nanyan's eyes were blazing, and he said in a deep voice:
"Even if it takes a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will bring her back!"
After saying that, he gathered his energy and exercised his skills, then leaped in the direction Xiyan had left, and his figure quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Xiao Nanyan chased into the forest, and Xiyan's figure appeared and disappeared in the morning mist.
After turning a corner, the trees in front of me were suddenly arranged in a strange octagonal shape, with roots twisted like snakes and a faint fishy smell floating between the trees.
Xiao Nanyue was familiar with formations and knew at a glance that this was the Five Poisons Maze Formation.
This formation uses snakeberry and green vine as the guide, and uses the morning mist to evaporate the poisonous gas. Anyone who enters the formation will be entangled in hallucinations and lose their way.
Xiyan was hiding behind a tree. When she saw Xiao Nanyue step into the formation, a murderous look flashed in her eyes.
She was familiar with the power of this formation and was sure that even if Xiao Nanyan could see through the formation, he would find it difficult to resist the illusion of the poisonous fog.
Xiao Nanyue stepped into the formation and soon sensed something was wrong. Poisonous fog penetrated his mouth and nose. The shadows of the trees swayed in front of him, as if countless figures were moving through the woods.
He bit his tongue hard, and the pain made him a little more awake. He suddenly remembered something, reached into his arms, and took out the plain brocade handkerchief that Xiyan had left in the Shuyu Palace.
He had been keeping the handkerchief hidden, but at this moment, he opened it and covered his eyes with it.
The touch of brocade against his face, with its familiar faint fragrance, instantly calmed his mood.
Then, he held his breath and concentrated, following the arrangement pattern of the Five Poison Formation in his memory, tapping the ground with his toes to determine the direction.
The soil and rocks under your feet support the operation of the mechanism, so there will be a very light muffled sound when you step on it.
One step, two steps...
Xiao Nanyue moved in the fog, taking every step precisely.
When he heard the familiar "empty sound" under his feet, he knew that he had found the center of the formation.
Then, he suddenly drew out the Jinghong Sword and threw it towards the tree shadow in front of him!
With a click, it seemed as if some invisible thread was cut.
In an instant, the poisonous fog receded, the phantoms in the forest shattered like bubbles, and the morning mist became clear again.
Xiao Nanyan sheathed his sword and smiled as he looked at Xi Yan who was hiding behind a big tree:
"Yanyan, does this mean I've won?"
After saying that, he slowly walked towards Xiyan.
Xiyan didn't expect that Xiao Nanyue had broken the formation. Her face froze and she subconsciously retreated into the forest behind her.
Xiao Nanyan had just taken two steps when his eyes suddenly swept to the treetops behind Xiyan:
Hanging from a thick vine was a dark green snake with markings like it was soaked in black blood. Its triangular head was raised, and its red tongue was moving rapidly in and out, drawing a dangerous arc in the morning light.
He instantly recognized that this was the "black-scaled viper" unique to the Nanzhao Mountains. It was extremely poisonous and if bitten, the poison would kill it in a moment!
"careful!"
Xiao Nanyue was horrified and it was too late to draw his sword again.
His body reacted faster than his brain. He pounced on Xiyan with lightning speed, hugged her, and used the momentum to roll to the side to avoid the snake's attack.
But what I never expected was that what looked like ordinary weeds behind the tree was actually a deep slope covered with loose soil.
The force of the two people's rolling brought loose soil, and their feet suddenly felt empty. Without even having time to scream, they fell straight down the deep slope.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and Xiao Nanyan held Xiyan tightly in his arms.
The feeling of weightlessness from falling only lasted for a moment, and Xiao Nanyue touched the green vines hanging from the cliff amid the whistling wind.
The vines were as thick as small arms, winding around and embedding into the cracks of the rocks.
Xiao Nanyan acted decisively, freeing one hand to tightly grasp one of the vines. His palm was rubbed painfully by the rough vine bark, but he used the force to suddenly stop his falling momentum.
"pay close attention!"
He growled softly, his other arm still tightly wrapped around Xiyan's waist, protecting her in his arms.
