Clouds of Doubt
However, this sword strike that had no power was easily deflected. After saying that, a bright blade light swept towards his throat.
I didn't expect that I, Long Hao, would die in the hands of these villains. In despair, Long Hao stared at the blade light that was flying in front of him.
But at this moment. A strange sound of air being torn suddenly sounded.
Then, Long Haozhi saw a strange black shadow appear out of thin air like lightning.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The dozen men who had rushed out didn't even have time to react before they were sent flying far away like rubber balls.
Then, it smashed heavily onto the ground.
"Ah!"
The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbstruck.
"Who is it?"
The group of black armored warriors who were originally murderous were also stunned by this situation.
Long Hao finally saw the black shadow that had suddenly appeared.
"It's you. Qingshan."
The savior who had suddenly appeared was Qingshan. This was really unexpected.
"Isn't it me?" Qingshan said.
The three leaders seemed to be shocked for a long time before they reacted."How is this possible? There's actually a fish that slipped through the net.”
"Your dirty tricks are not enough to charm us.”Qingshan said with disdain.
It was a very unexpected coincidence that Qingshan hadn't been bewitched.
After joining the army, all soldiers in the post-modern era had to undergo a lot of special training in addition to basic combat training.
This included drug resistance training. As well as the injection of all kinds of virus antibiotics. In a sense, Green Mountain was now immune to all poisons.
Ye Lai Xiang's drug was strong, but it was still far from the terrifying chemical weapons of the post-modern era.
Not to mention Ye Lai Xiang, even the XV neurotoxin and sarin gas couldn't harm Green Mountain.
There wasn't even any reaction from the drug.
This also made it so that Qingshan did not realize that he, Wu Shang, and the others had actually been plotted against by the police. If it was not for Long Hao blowing the alarm, Qingshan would not even know what had happened.
After a while of being busy, he was unable to wake Wu Shang and the others who were sleeping like dead pigs. Helpless, Qingshan rushed out of the tent and happened to catch up with Long Hao's dangerous situation.
"How dare you hurt my brother." Although the man was shocked, he was even more furious and resentful. His large bell-like eyes stared at Qingshan."I'll tear you apart."
"Shameless boasting." Qingshan still had the same disdainful look on his face."Seeing that you are tall and strong, I thought that you were someone important. I didn't expect that you would use such despicable methods to rob our small caravan.”
"You have a sharp tongue. Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish.”The iron tower-like burly man holding the Purgatory Battleaxe was flustered and exasperated. At this moment, he let out a strange cry and resumed his attack.
He spun his hands and swung the huge Purgatory Battleaxe down.
This guy had a strong body and great strength. In addition, the Purgatory was too large. The force of this strike was more than 1,000 jin, and it was not slow either. Even though Qingshan had extraordinary strength, the Xuanyuan Heavy Sword was not as heavy as the Purgatory Battle Axe. If he wanted to take it head-on, he would have to suffer a great loss in terms of weapons.
Qingshan could only dodge the axe.
Whoosh. Boom! Boom! The axe that missed smashed a large hole in the ground.
Flint flew everywhere with a shocking momentum.
Unfortunately, no matter how much strength he had, it was meaningless if he could not hit his opponent.
After dodging the attack, Qing Shan flicked his wrist with the Xuan Yuan Heavy Sword and swung it at the throat of the iron tower giant like a bolt of lightning.
Ah. What kind of sword was this? It was actually a black sword.
He was quite afraid of the ghost-like iron tower giant on Green Mountain, so he was secretly paying attention to it. However, Qing Shan's black heavy sword, which did not reflect light at all, made it impossible for anyone to catch it.
If it wasn't for the iron tower giant's skill in detecting the wind, it would have been impossible.
Seeing that the black sword of Green Mountain was about to pierce through,
The iron tower-like giant shrunk his neck and hid his head, dodging the swift sword of Qingshan in the split second. The Purgatory Battleaxe, which was astonishingly large, swept horizontally with a swoosh and attacked Qingshan's lower body.
Although this man was extremely strong, he was not clumsy at all. His reaction speed was extremely fast and agile.
This move could be said to be extremely exquisite in both defense and offense.
Qingshan leaped up, his black sword flashing like lightning.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! He also retaliated with a combination of offense and defense. While dodging the Purgatory Battle Axe that swept toward his lower body, he stabbed out three times. They stabbed at the chest, throat, and abdomen of the iron tower giant. Although the three swords were aimed at different directions, because of Qingshan's astonishing frequency and speed, it was as if three sharp swords were aimed at the opponent's three vital points at the same time, making it impossible for the opponent to guard against them.
In terms of strength, Green Mountain was obviously superior. Moreover, with the black sword's concealment, which did not reflect any light, it made his attacks seem even more strange and erratic, making it impossible to guard against.
However, the burly man with the iron tower was quite experienced in adapting to the situation. He was also very careful about the strange black sword of Qingshan. He bent his legs slightly and squatted down. He dodged the sword that was aimed at his throat.
As he squatted, his two legs formed a strange horse stance. The unusually large Purgatory Battleaxe quickly swept back to block, like a flexible shield.
In a split second, he not only blocked the two swords that were aimed at his lower abdomen and chest, but also shook the Xuanyuan Heavy Sword of Green Mountain so hard that it almost fell out of his hand.
Qingshan's expression changed slightly.
This guy's Strength and Degrees could almost be compared to the Mammoth Beastmen. It could be said that this guy was definitely the most powerful human that Green Mountain had ever seen.
However, Green Mountain was very experienced in dealing with this kind of opponent, and he could deal with it easily.
At the same time that the long sword was swung away, Qingshan suddenly withdrew his strength. His entire arm was like half of a willow branch that was not affected by any force at all, bending into a strange arc. Then, the big sword that had been swung away spun in a graceful arc like a meteor hammer pulled by an iron chain. In an instant, it turned into a heaven-raising sword from the bottom to the top.
The principle of this move was derived from the ancient Chinese martial arts, Tai Chi. It was extremely suitable for strength type opponents.
As expected, this strange change of move was beyond everyone's expectations. Who would have thought that the sword that was almost sent flying would unexpectedly sweep towards the vital part of his lower abdomen?
The iron-tower-like giant, who was used to his old moves, could not defend at all and could only retreat in a hurry.
Only then did he dodge the strange Heaven-Ripping Sword.
This series of offensive and defensive changes could be said to be as fast as lightning, and both sides had even more ingenious moves, making people dazzled and unable to breathe.
The sword-shield man and the two-spear man who were watching the battle from the side were shocked. They were well aware of how powerful their brother's axe technique was. Ordinary experts would not even be able to last three moves against him. It should be known that Third Brother was born with divine strength since he was young. In addition to his outstanding talent, he had also been taught by a famous teacher. Ever since the Hell Axe set was formed, few people had been able to match him. Even Berserkers above level-12 did not dare to fight him head-on.
However, he did not expect that he would not be able to gain the slightest advantage against this ordinary-looking young man.
He couldn't tell how strong his opponent was, but he was able to receive the third brother's attack without giving him a chance. Moreover, his expression was relaxed, as if he hadn't used his full strength.
After forcing the iron tower giant back with a single move, Qingshan's momentum increased dramatically. He pounced forward like a wild wind, his black longsword. Swoosh swoosh. Three more swords stabbed at the iron tower giant's vital points in an instant.
The iron tower giant, who was forced to retreat, seemed to be at a loss as he retreated again and again. He let out a series of strange cries. The Purgatory Battleaxe, which was shockingly large, was actually used as a shield by him, flying up and down in a tight dance.
Ding ding dang dang.
In a series of crisp and rapid metal clanging sounds, Qingshan's incomparably swift and quick attacks were all blocked by him.
However, the attacks of Green Mountain were like the waves of the Yangtze River, unending. The black sword shadows were like countless venomous snakes dancing in the wind, crazily coiling around the iron tower giant's vital parts. It made him exhausted and unable to guard against it. Finally, this series of fast attacks made the iron tower man lose his composure again. He retreated again and again, and the uneven ground under his feet almost made him fall to the ground.
How could Green Mountain miss such a rare opportunity? Almost at the same time, Qingshan's ghostly figure suddenly flashed and approached the iron tower-like giant.
Then, he changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding the sword with both hands. He slashed forward, and the black sword shadow was like a shocking dragon that slashed down wildly.
This sword strike had fully utilized the inertia impact force of the sprint, and the strength of the waist and hip of the body, which allowed Green Mountain to hold the sword with both hands. When the three were combined, the force was more than a thousand jin.
Even the iron tower giant's special tungsten armor would not be able to withstand the heavy strike.
Roar! The iron tower giant, who had nowhere to hide, suddenly roared, and the light on his body soared.
It was the ultimate skill of a Berserker, Berserk Combat Aura. The expressions of the sword-shield man and the two-spear man changed drastically. They didn't expect their opponent to be so powerful that Third Brother was forced to reveal his final trump card.
However, this way, Third Brother would definitely win.
One had to know that Third Brother's berserk warrior power was a top-notch cultivation technique known as the Purgatory Berserk Transformation. Once he used it, both his strength and strength would instantly increase by more than two times. It could be said that at that moment, he was comparable to a level-20 warrior.
"Go to hell." The moment Purgatory went berserk, the towering giant's Purgatory Battle Axe struck the longsword that Qingshan had slashed down like a bolt of lightning.
Peng. Rumble!
With a dull explosion, the shocking impact actually shook Qingshan so much that he couldn't help but shoot out like a missile.
What was even worse was that the direction he flew towards was exactly where the sword-shield man, the two-spear man, and the group of black-armored warriors were.
"Brat, go to hell." The sword-shield man and the two-spear man revealed cruel and savage smiles at the same time. These bandits who lived by plundering had no morals.
Once he saw an opportunity, he would never let go of his opponent.
At this moment, how could Qingshan miss this opportunity?
Two short spears and a large saber attacked the flying Qingshan almost at the same time.
"Ah!" Long Hao turned pale with fright and could not help but exclaim,""Qingshan, behind you!"
However, before anyone could see him, Qingshan, who had been sent flying, revealed a strange smile.
A black sword shadow suddenly exploded and appeared in front of him. It was as if a black demonic moon had appeared out of thin air under the hazy night sky.
It was the specialty of Green Mountain, the Moon Shadow Arc Slash of the Xuanyuan Seven Absolutes.
This move was a unique skill for instant kills.
The sword-shield man and the two-spear man did not even have the chance to react.
They felt a chill on their necks, and then they felt their bodies fly up involuntarily.
What was going on? The two of them could not understand at all. Then, they saw the figure on the ground that kept spinning and moving away, and the third brother's dumbfounded and incredulous gaze. Finally, they saw two headless bodies dancing in a strange posture on the spot, and then fell to the ground dejectedly.
"No, Big Brother, Second Brother." Then, they heard Third Brother's heart-wrenching scream. It was only at this moment that they finally understood that it was their heads that had flown up.
"How is that possible?"
"What a fast sword."
Then, a boundless sea and hazy book sword attacked. So this was the feeling of death.
Peng Peng.
There were two dull explosions. The two heads that flew into the sky finally fell to the ground.
This shocking change made everyone freeze on the spot. No one had thought that the change would come so suddenly.
From the very beginning, Green Mountain hadn't used his full strength in the duel with the tower-like man. This wasn't because Green Mountain had underestimated his opponent, but because of strategic considerations.
After figuring out the situation, Green Mountain formulated the only feasible strategy, which was to play the pig to catch the tiger and capture the leader first.
The purpose of showing weakness to the enemy was to kill the other two leaders by surprise. During the battle, Qingshan was deliberately sent flying towards the man with the sword and shield and the man with the short spear to lure them into attacking so that he could take the opportunity to kill them.
In fact, with the strength of Green Mountain, even if the three of them attacked together, they would not be able to do anything to Green Mountain. However, considering that the other party had a large number of people, and besides themselves, who still had the strength to fight, the others did not even have the ability to protect themselves. Once they were forced into a corner, they would have to be cautious, so the best way was to kill their leader as soon as possible.
This was the only way to break their fighting spirit.
Who would have thought that the Green Mountain Sect, which had been evenly matched with the Third Leader, could suddenly display a fighting strength that was far greater than theirs, killing the First Leader and Second Leader of the bandits in one fell swoop.
For now, Green Mountain's strategy was undoubtedly successful. Of course, the battle was not over yet.
"Bastard, return my brother's life." After the tragic death of his two brothers, the Third Leader, who had gone completely mad, rushed towards Green Mountain without caring about anything else.
Humph. Green Mountain no longer held back after achieving their goal.
The figure that was originally standing still shook strangely and disappeared. No one present could see it clearly. They could barely see a blurry afterimage that flashed like a rainbow.
It was the White Rainbow Piercing the Sun from the Xuanyuan Seven Absolutes.
Whoosh. Amidst the violent whistling sound, the black sword shadow even cut through the air.
Afterimages appeared.
Peng. Puchi.
Sword light flashed. The 3rd Head froze on the spot. It was only at this moment that everyone saw that the chest of the third head's tower-like body had already been pierced through by a huge hole the size of a person.
The Third Head lowered his head in a daze.
Then, he finally saw the hole in his chest.
It was as if a wall had been chiseled open by a craftsman. However, the strange thing was that there was not even a trace of blood on his chest.
Although the third head only felt a numbness and coldness in his chest, it was followed by a powerless suffocation and confusion.
However, those ferocious and vicious eyes stared straight ahead, unable to move an inch.
Among everyone present, only Long Hao could barely see what was going on.
However, in that instant, Qingshan had pierced through his body with his sword at an astonishing speed.
Even though he saw it with his own eyes, Long Hao still couldn't believe his eyes."What a terrifying sword technique. Who is he?”
The remaining eighty bandits were scared out of their wits by Qingshan's terrifying Killing technique. The three bosses were killed in the blink of an eye.
"D-devil. He's not human."
"Run!"
The bandits, who had long been scared out of their wits, no longer had the courage to continue fighting. One by one, they threw away their helmets and armor and fled in all directions.
Long Hao finally heaved a sigh of relief. He had long collapsed to the ground.
The medicinal properties of Ye Lai Xiang were extremely powerful.
The bewitched crowd didn't wake up until noon the next day.
When they were informed of the situation last night, their expressions changed drastically.
Long Shu and Thousand Rain's faces were especially ashen.
After a long while, Thousand Rain returned to her senses. He said gratefully,"It's all thanks to Young Master Qingshan this time. Otherwise, we would have died without a burial place."
The twelve Yan guards and the Long Family disciples all looked ashamed.
As guards, they actually knew nothing about what happened last night. This was even more embarrassing than giving them a few slaps.
"It's my duty." Qingshan said calmly.
"I didn't expect these thieves to think of such an incredible way to poison me.”"Looks like we were too careless." Long Shu said with lingering fear.”
"But Qingshan, why aren't you affected by the poison?”On the other hand, Long Pan, who was standing at the side, was sizing up Qingshan with some doubt.
After hearing Long Pan's question, everyone was amazed.
"To tell you the truth, I have received a certain degree of training in resisting drugs.”"Ordinary poisons and drugs are ineffective against me," Qingshan said.”
"The so-called drug resistance training is to strengthen one's resistance to toxic drugs through training.”Qingshan said.
"Young Master Qingshan is indeed extraordinary.”"I really don't know which expert could have produced such an outstanding disciple like you." Long Shu asked curiously.”
"I'm ashamed." Qing Shan was modest, but he didn't answer Long Shu's question.
It wasn't that Green Mountain was deliberately hiding this fact, but that his background was too unbelievable. Even if he tried to explain it, it might not be clear. Therefore, he simply pretended to be deaf and mute.
However, Long Shu and Thousand Rain didn't feel any dissatisfaction or doubt. Instead, they believed that Young Master Qing had an extraordinary background. Wanluo World was a vast place, and there were countless strange people and hermits. It was not strange for a young hero like Qingshan to pop up occasionally.
Of course, since Green Mountain didn't say anything, it wouldn't be good for Rain to ask. After all, everyone in the Ranger world had their own secrets.
On the other hand, Long Hao, who was standing at the side, looked at Green Mountain with an uncertain expression.
The reason why he was not knocked out on the spot yesterday was that he had been responsible for the defense of the realm since he set up camp. As he was far from the bonfire, he did not inhale too much evening primrose. In addition, his cultivation was not weak. It could be said that luck played a big part in this.
However, Qing Shan had completely relied on his body's peculiar constitution to escape this calamity.
He thought of the marvelous sword technique and the strange physique, and the incredible dragon-slaying mission that Green Mountain was going to carry out, which Wushuang, Wushang, and the others had mentioned in their conversation.
This made Long Hao extremely curious about the background of Green Mountain. This fellow was like half of a mystery that could never be seen through.
Good boy, one day I will dig out your secrets. At this moment, Long Hao made up his mind.
On the other hand, Wushuang and Wu Shang were obviously very interested in the so-called anti-drug training of Qingshan. Especially since Wu Shang had long regarded Qingshan as his master, he secretly planned to find an opportunity to let Qingshan give him an anti-drug training. In the future, he would be immune to all poisons.
"This escort mission is of great importance.”" Everyone, learn your lesson," Thousand Rain said sternly." Otherwise, we won't be able to survive even if we have a few lives."”
"Yes." All the guards said in unison.
Everyone dispersed. He was busy cooking so that he could pack up and prepare for his journey.
In the main tent.
Long Qi, Long Hao, Qian Yu, and Long Shu all wore solemn expressions. He frowned.
"The only worry now is that the news of our escort has been leaked.”Long Shu looked worried.
"From the tone of those people yesterday, they already know our identities.”"So we can be sure that they are coming for us," Long Hao said.”
Long Shu and Thousand Rain looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This mission is confidential, and not many people know about it. The other party knew that we would pass by here and set up such an ingenious trap. At this point, Thousand Rain's face turned ashen.""It seems that someone really leaked our information on purpose.”
"And what I find even stranger is…" " How did the other party grasp our route so accurately?" Long Hao asked with a solemn expression.”
"What do you mean?" Thousand Rain and Long Shu's expressions changed drastically.
"Could there really be a traitor?" A terrifying killing intent flashed in Thousand Rain's eyes.
"The people participating in this operation were all carefully selected from the inner court.”"There's no problem with loyalty," Long Shu said.”
"The twelve brothers of the Yan Clan are the Crown Prince's trusted aides, so it's even more impossible for them to betray us.”Thousand Rain said resolutely.
"The most suspicious ones are Qingshan and his gang.”"They joined halfway," Draconic Seven said hesitantly.”
"It can't be them." Long Hao said resolutely," It was purely a coincidence that we showed up in the restaurant. It was a coincidence that we invited them. Besides, if Green Mountain hadn't saved us last night, we would have been wiped out long ago. From this point of suspicion, we can completely rule out the possibility that they are spies.”
"Who else could it be if not them?" The four people in the tent were filled with thoughts.
"This time, besides His Majesty and the Long family.”Thousand Rain's expression instantly darkened.""Only King Qi knows. Could it be that he leaked the news?”
"Whether it's him or not, we'll know soon enough.”Long Shu said,"The Sage Selection is up ahead, and it's under King Qi's jurisdiction. If he's really the mastermind, he won't let this opportunity go."”
On the other side, Wu Shuang and the others had already surrounded Green Mountain and were chattering about what happened last night. One of them was so excited.
"It's a pity that I'm missing from such a big scene.”Wu Shang said somewhat regretfully.
"Exactly." Yun Xia was also somewhat unwilling,"This time, you're in the limelight again."”
"It's better not to be in the limelight." Qingshan said noncommittally.
"Just a few little thieves." Jiao Luo still had that arrogant tone,""This young lady has seen this kind of small scene many times, what's there to be surprised about.”
"Tsk, you can continue bragging." Wu Shang and Yun Xia retorted almost at the same time,""If it weren't for Green Mountain yesterday, I'd like to see how you would still be bragging like this.”
"What? I'm bragging." Jiao Luo almost jumped up." When I was 13, I was in college. I've seen all kinds of big scenes. I've seen a lot of these little thieves."”
The dangerous situation yesterday did not affect their mood.
However, Wu Shuang appeared somewhat gloomy. Seeing that Wu Shang and the Red Cloud Sect were still in the mood to play, she immediately put her face down: "Stop fooling around. Don't you think that we were lucky enough to escape this time? We won't be so lucky in the future.”
Only then did Wu Shang and Yun Xia stop playing, but they did not understand why Wu Shuang's expression was so ugly.
"Why don't you guys think about it?" Wu Shuang was quite troubled by everyone's unreasonable appearance."This matter is not simple." As she said this, Wu Shuang subconsciously looked at Qing Shan."What do you think about this?”
"Actually, I've been thinking about something since last night.”Qingshan said frankly,"It seems that this escort mission is not an ordinary one.”Qingshan said worriedly.
"We might be involved in a big trouble." Wu Shuang said with a solemn expression.”
"Big trouble." "We're not even afraid of the Explosive Bear Corps, so why should we be afraid of other big troubles?"”
"That's right." Jiao Luo and Wu Shang also had disapproving expressions.
"I've really lost to you guys." "Why don't you use your brains to think about it?" Wushuang said angrily.”"I can analyze a few pieces of information from yesterday's situation.
Number one. The items they were escorting this time were definitely extraordinary. This could be seen from the fact that even important officials like Thousand Rain and the Twelve Yan Brothers had to accompany them.
Second. The item they were escorting this time was most likely related to the imperial family. This was because the destination of the escort was Lanqi City. Moreover, based on Thousand Rain's tone, it was a direct order from the upper echelons of the empire. It could be seen that the other party's background was definitely not small since they dared to make this trip.
Third. The risk of this escort mission should not be small. It had only been the first day they had left Maple Leaf Town, and they had not even left Tassel City's defensive perimeter, yet they had already been targeted. It was obvious that the news of their escort had already been leaked.
Fourth. The trap set by the bandits yesterday was too ingenious, but I found it hard to imagine that a group of bandits could come up with such an ingenious scheme. From this, I concluded that this group of bandits should have been instructed by someone else, and this incense trap was clearly planned by the mastermind. From this, he concluded that yesterday was just the beginning. The journey from now on would be even more difficult and dangerous.
Fifth. That group of people was actually able to accurately grasp our location yesterday and even made preparations in advance. This timing was too coincidental. Without the cooperation of the mole, it would have been very difficult to do so.
Sixth. If the traitor really exists, then every step we take in the future will fall into the enemy's calculations. In terms of tactics, we will be in a passive and disadvantageous position. The enemy can deal with us at any time, and we will be at a loss.
Seventh. If there really is a traitor, but we can't find one in a short period of time, then it's very likely that the entire team will be anxious and suspicious of each other. This way, the enemy will have an opportunity to take advantage of us and defeat us one by one.
"Ah!" After listening to Wushuang's analysis, Jiao Luo Yunxia and Wu Shang widened their eyes in disbelief.
Qingshan was even more surprised. How did this little girl's brain grow? She could analyze so much information from yesterday's incident alone.
If this girl was in the post-modern army, she would definitely be a first-class tactical advisor.
"If that's the case, I might lose my life if I'm not careful."”
Yun Xia Jiao Luo and Wu Shang showed a rare worried expression.
"I'm sorry." "I didn't expect this mission to be so difficult and drag everyone down." Wushuang said apologetically.”
"What burden?" "Since it's an experiential learning, what's the point if there's no risk?"”
"That's right. I've been in the sixth year for three years.”"This is the first time I've encountered such a complicated and exciting thing.”
"If only we could catch that traitor.”Wu Shang said.
"This is probably very difficult." Qingshan said," It's better not to act rashly. You must know that this is a very critical moment. If we don't catch the traitor and attract others 'wild guesses, it will be bad."”
"Therefore, what we need to do now is to be vigilant and wait and see.”Wu Shuang looked at everyone with a stern expression."Do you understand now?"
