It was night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a few sparse starlights managed to get out from the gaps in the dark clouds, becoming the only light in the sky.

The cool breeze at night caressed the hills and trees, making a low whirring sound, which was particularly clear in the quiet night.

With the caress of the breeze, the grass and trees in the mountains are swaying with some enjoyment. Next to Chenliu Mountain on the edge of Chen Country, on a big tree with leaves lifted by the breeze, through the dense canopy, a figure is vaguely revealed.

contour.

It was a man wearing leather armor and holding a long bow. The man could not be said to be very handsome. He could only be said to have good appearance, but his eyes were very bright, especially in this dark night.

The eyes looked particularly deep, but at this moment, what was revealed from these eyes was a very solemn emotion.

Hidden in the canopy of the big tree, Xu Jin stared straight ahead. In the direction he was looking at, there were only grass and trees swaying in the wind, and nothing else.

On the long bow he held in his hand, an arrow had already been strung. Although the bow string had not been drawn yet, he was ready to launch an attack at any time.

"coming!"

Suddenly, Xu Jin's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had discovered something. He slowly raised the long bow in his hand, and using his right hand holding the arrow, he pulled the long bow apart little by little.

After pulling the long bow to the limit, the magic power in Xu Jin's body circulated and was injected into the arrow in his hand.

"It's now!"

With a flash of light in his eyes, Xu Jin released his right hand holding the arrow. With the sound of the bow string, the arrow flew forward like an invisible lightning bolt under the cover of night.

However, in the direction where the arrow flew, there was still nothing there. If nothing unexpected happened, the final target of this arrow would only be the earth. But many times, things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

"Well!"

The next moment, a painful groan sounded in the quiet wilderness. Then, on the flight path of the arrow, a figure suddenly appeared. Driven by the power of the arrow, it fell directly backward.

fly.

Regardless of how far the figure could fly in the air, Xu Jin quickly jumped down from the big tree after shooting the arrow. After landing, the figure ran towards Chenliu Mountain behind him without stopping.

go.

In the blink of an eye, two half-moon-shaped lights suddenly lit up in the night sky, quickly flying towards the big tree where Xu Jin was hiding just now, directly cutting the big tree into three sections.

At the same time, arrows appeared in the air and flew out from all directions. The targets were all pointing in the direction Xu Jin had shot. These arrows seemed to be intertwined into a net, covering that area.

As the arrows fell, another scream rang out in the quiet night sky, and figures appeared out of thin air after being hit by the arrows.

Immediately afterwards, several more half-moon-shaped lights lit up and flew towards some places where arrows were shot. The people hiding there obviously reacted a beat slower than Xu Jin. As the half-moon-shaped lights flew past, they took

There were several painful wails.

Xu Jin quickly hid behind a big tree, and put another arrow on the long bow in his hand. He already felt that an enemy was following him, so he let go and shot the arrow without hesitation.

One arrow.

As the arrow flew out, another invisible figure was hit. Just like the person who was hit by the arrow in the first place, the opponent was knocked backwards for a distance by the powerful force carried by the arrow.

After shooting this arrow, Xu Jin moved his position again, but this time behind him, there were three half-moon-shaped lights flying over closely following his figure.

Xu Jin's quick reaction allowed him to dodge two attacks, but the third attack formed an angle with the previous two attacks, making it difficult for Xu Jin to dodge this attack.

Seeing that the half-moon-shaped light had reached behind Xu Jin and was about to cut his body in half, Xu Jin quickly pulled out the short knife from behind with his right hand. The magic power in his body circulated rapidly, and he waved his knife towards the half-moon.

The shape of light cut down.

I saw that the moment the dagger fell, the blade was actually covered with a layer of faint red light. The dagger with the red light drew a thin red line in the air. The moment the blade collided with the half-moon-shaped light, that

The half-moon-shaped light was actually directly chopped into pieces by this knife, turning into a point of light and dissipating invisible in the dark night.

After successfully getting rid of the crisis, Xu Jin put the dagger back into the scabbard on his back, and took out an arrow and put it on the bow string. The magic power in his body continued to operate, and the arrow that Xu Jin held was also covered.

It has a faint red light.

Following the direction of perception, Xu Jin narrowed his eyes slightly. Within a certain range of his sight, he could vaguely see several almost invisible figures.

The long bow in his hand was pressed down slightly, and then Xu Jin released the bowstring without hesitation and shot the third arrow at the beginning of the battle.

The arrow with red light left a red line in the night sky. An invisible enemy was hit instantly, and his body was directly penetrated by the arrow. After the arrow with red light penetrated a person's body, the speed

It hit the second target almost without weakening, still penetrated its body, and then sank into the trunk of a big tree.

One arrow penetrated the two targets. The expression on Xu Jin's face did not change at all, but he changed his position very calmly.

His calmness was undoubtedly correct. After Xu Jin left the place, dozens of half-moon-shaped lights immediately flew to the place where he was standing, covering the surrounding area.

Xu Jin's body was almost illuminated by a half-moon-shaped light, and he narrowly avoided the attack. However, just when Xu Jin had just avoided the attack and had not had time to draw the bow and nock the arrow again, the expression on Xu Jin's face suddenly changed.

A change.

Xu Jin, who was originally standing, quickly squatted down and used both legs at the same time to make a squatting forward movement. In the process, his right hand quickly pulled out the short knife from his back and the long bow in his left hand.

Just release it.

"Zheng!"

A sound of metal and iron was heard, and Xu Jin's body rolled forward, but he only completed half of the movement. His left hand suddenly pushed the ground, stabilizing the balance of his body. At the same time, he supported his left foot on the ground, and his right

He kicked his feet sharply behind him.

There was originally nothing behind Xu Jin, but as he kicked out, a figure appeared in an instant, and flew upside down, hitting a tree heavily. Xu Jin noticed that the figure

Even though he flew upside down and hit a tree, he still held a short knife tightly in his hand and was not willing to let go of his weapon at all.

After hitting the tree, the figure shook his head slightly, then reacted and struggled to stand up. Unfortunately, his reaction speed was not as fast as Xu Jin's.

After kicking the invisible opponent into the tree, Xu Jin quickly rolled to his feet, and then stepped forward. Before the opponent could recover, the short knife in his hand had already stabbed the opponent's neck.

While struggling, Xu Jin's dagger slashed across his throat, and then quickly retreated.

The struggling figure suddenly froze in action at this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, one hand covered his throat that was spurting blood, and the other hand waved the short knife with difficulty, seemingly still

Want to attack Xu Jin.

Unfortunately, after his throat was slit, the strength in his body seemed to be drained away with the flow of blood. Although he tried hard to attack with a knife, unfortunately he still couldn't hold the short knife tightly in his hand and waved his arms.

After a few times, it fell to his side weakly.

Seeing that the enemy whose throat he had cut was no longer struggling, Xu Jin felt a little more at ease, and then turned his attention to the battle elsewhere.

Because the attack of dozens of half-moon-shaped rays of light just now exposed some enemies' positions, this was the most intense moment of the battle between the two sides after the battle began.

Half-moon-shaped rays of light, and arrows covered with red light continued to fly in the dark night, with the sound of weapons clashing in the middle, and several miserable wails becoming embellishments.

However, all this lasted very briefly. When Xu Jin's attention just turned here, all the movement stopped quickly.

In this battle that took place in the night, there were no loud shouts of death, but only silent and fierce attacks from both sides. Every scream meant the death of a life.

"His, hiss, hiss!"

Three very low and strange sounds sounded a little suddenly, and the sounds sounded a little erratic, and I didn't know where they came from.

Hearing these three low and strange sounds, Xu Jin, who was originally prepared to continue fighting, immediately changed his mind and stood still where he was.

According to the intelligence they had, these three low and strange sounds were the signal for the nocturnal Taoist soldiers they faced tonight to retreat.

Holding the dagger in his hand tightly, Xu Jin stood quietly, looking around with vigilant eyes, guarding against dangerous approaches.

In this way, a quarter of an hour passed, and Xu Jin did not find any enemies approaching him within the scope of his vision and perception.

Another breeze blew, and the smell of blood was sent to the tip of Xu Jin's nose with the breeze. When he smelled this smell of blood, Xu Jin didn't feel any fluctuation in his heart, because he had long been used to it.

.

However, as the breeze blew, a figure jumped down from a tree. The other person looked around cautiously and walked around cautiously without being attacked in any way.

Immediately afterwards, people wearing leather armor and holding long bows came out from hidden corners around them. Seeing this scene, Xu Jin finally relaxed the vigilance in his eyes, and reached out to insert the short knife in his hand.

Returning to his back, he whispered in his heart.

"it's over!"
Chapter completed!
