This tall old man was clearly a human; how could he know how to control fire like the Divine Clan? Could it be that Du Shi Qing's bodyguard's background is not simple?
Also … wasn't this journey a bit too peaceful?
While Chu Yang was thinking, the Calamity Sword in his dantian suddenly jumped. A sense of extreme danger rose from his heart; all the hairs on his body stood on end. His eyes turned cold, and he didn't even turn around to check. His body spun, rolled, and bounced up. He made a turn in the air, and immediately moved from the side of the fire to behind a tree. The movement of his body at this moment was almost unbelievable.
Immediately after, there was a sharp whistling sound. A large stone slab, several feet wide, fell from the sky. It smashed towards Du Shi Qing's position! His grasp of the position was extremely precise!
Du Shi Qing was within the stone's attack range. Right in the middle!
Old man Gao shouted angrily. His old body suddenly became as agile as a leopard. He leaped forward, but it was too late. At this moment, Chu Yang suddenly appeared next to the stone slab. A sword appeared out of nowhere in his hand and stabbed forward like a poisonous snake.
The tip of the sword pierced the edge of the stone slab like a poisonous dragon.
Dang!
This large stone slab was originally fiercely spinning as it smashed down, but when this sword appeared, it just happened to stab into the gap between the spinning, causing the speed of this large stone slab to slow down by a tiny bit.
It was like a huge mountain falling right onto the tip of a lever! The subtlety of this moment was indescribable.
Immediately after, the stone slab's counterforce exploded like thunder. Chu Yang, who was holding the sword, felt as if his chest was hit by the stone slab. He spat out a mouthful of blood and flipped back in the air.
But in the end, he managed to buy some time! Even if it was an insignificant amount of time, a normal person would not even be able to blink …
But with this slight delay, old man Gao's body was already in between the stone slab and the ground. He angrily shouted and punched the air. A white light flashed on his fist, and the several thousand jin stone slab was suddenly smashed into pieces like a rain of stones!
Du Shi Qing was safe and sound!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh …
Pitch-black arrows rained down from the top of the mountain, shrouding the area in all directions.
"Formation! Meet the enemy! " The leader of the knights shouted, and the eight of them rolled on the ground in an orderly manner. They nimbly moved to the side of their warhorses, and in the next moment, a round shield appeared in their hands. Although they dodged quickly, there was still a knight who was hit in the shoulder and calf at the same time. The iron arrow pierced through the air with pieces of flesh and blood.
Before he could finish his scream, three of his companions' shields had already covered his entire body. Thud, thud, thud. The iron arrows formed an iron curtain in an instant.
Puff puff … The sound of the arrows piercing the ground was like rain hitting a sandpit. The ground of several hundred feet had turned into a huge hedgehog!
Old man Gao screamed, and his body turned into a gray whirlwind. Twenty or thirty arrows were caught in his hand before they hit the ground. With a shake of his hand, they turned into dozens of black lightning bolts and were reflected back. He did not look at the result. Without stopping, he picked up Du Shi Qing. His body flashed like a gray fog, and he was already next to the carriage. In the next moment, Du Shi Qing was stuffed back into the carriage.
With a series of popping sounds, the incoming arrows suddenly changed direction and rained down on the carriage. The huge force shook the whole carriage, but not a single arrow could penetrate it!
This carriage was actually specially made!
In the darkness of the forest, there was the sound of arrows being deflected by the tall old man hitting a tree. There was also a short scream.
Old man Gao's body flashed in the next moment. His face was covered with a layer of green. His first reaction was not to kill the enemy, but to look at Chu Yang's direction. Only he knew how difficult Chu Yang's sword was!
If it was not for that sword, everything would have been unimaginable!
Whether it was the timing, the position, the control of the power, or the choice of direction to dodge, they were all extremely difficult to come by! That sword was simply a stroke of genius!
This young man was only a Martial Warrior. Even if he was a peak Martial Master, his sword would be useless against such a huge rock falling from the top of the mountain. However, Chu Yang was able to use that sword to block it!
Even though it was only a small gap, it was enough to buy some time!
After that sword strike, an ordinary green steel sword was not damaged at all. The price was only a mouthful of blood! This was simply unimaginable!
The opponent's choice of timing was also very strange. They were already in Iron Cloud Nation's territory. Nothing happened along the way, but they were ambushed here. Moreover, the opponent did not ambush them in the middle of the night, but at dusk!
Everything happened so suddenly that it felt as if a group of bandits had suddenly found a fat sheep and decided to make a last minute robbery. Even old man Gao, who had been in Jiang Hu for his entire life, was not prepared!
But Chu Yang was able to use that sword strike in such a hurry! It was a sword strike filled with a mystical aura! It was as if everything had been rehearsed thousands of times in advance!
Old man Gao knew that no one would rehearse like this. This was not a coincidence, and it was not premeditated!
When he looked at where Chu Yang was standing, he found that Chu Yang, who was originally rolling there, was nowhere to be seen!
The eight knights formed a shield formation and moved slowly. Gradually, they arrived near the carriage and protected the entire carriage.
Old man Gao wanted to chase after them, but after thinking about it, he did not move. He only ordered the carriage to slowly move away. The horses that pulled the carriage had already turned into two huge iron porcupines. Half of the horses of the eight riders were also shot dead.
Old man Gao's body swayed. Bang! Bang! Bang! One by one, the horse corpses were thrown into the air. In a very short time, the corpses of the horses were lined up in a row, blocking the view from the forest. Then he covered his chest with both hands and was on full alert. He looked around vigilantly and retreated step by step.
Their mission was only to protect Du Shi Qing, not to kill the enemy!
While he was doing this, the enemy did not react at all!
Up until now, the attacker did not even say a word! Except for the two screams at the beginning, everything was like a pantomime.
The rain of arrows stopped abruptly! Everything returned to silence, as if nothing had happened. From the extreme intensity to the extreme silence, there was no buffer at all.
As the rain of arrows disappeared, the boundless twilight reigned over the earth! The world was suddenly filled with an oppressive atmosphere that made it hard for people to breathe.
The enemy's attack was not limited to this. This was something that everyone was clear about!
But who was the enemy? Which side did they belong to? Was it Great Zhao? Iron Cloud? Or Limitless? Or … were there others? All of this was hidden in the fog.
But no matter which side it was, it must have been premeditated for a long time!
It was not until they retreated ten feet that there was a reaction from the forest. After a series of strange noises, a sharp sound pierced through the air. A black shadow shot out from the forest like an angry dragon. With an unstoppable momentum, it arrived in front of the carriage in the blink of an eye!
The void behind the black shadow was already trembling from this tyrannical power!
One arrow!
However, the body of the arrow was actually three feet long! As if it came from hell, it was full of the smell of death! Under the cover of night, it viciously shot towards the carriage!
