When the woman saw Zhang Yu walk out, she wanted to attack immediately, but when she saw the layer of light rising from his body, she could not help but hesitate for a moment.
But at this moment, her eyes suddenly blurred, and then she found a bright sword light that seemed to leap from the void, piercing in front of her.
She was originally hiding in the fog, and did not expect that she had been exposed, so she hurriedly dodged to the side, but the sword light seemed to be attracted, turning slightly in midair, and suddenly slashing down diagonally. This attack was even more unexpected, so she dodged to the side again, just outside the range of the sword light.
When Zhang Yu threw out the Summer Sword, he had already caught up. At this moment, he reached out, grabbed the sword hilt, and then swept the sword horizontally!
This time, the woman could no longer retreat, and half of her waist was cut open by the sword light in a half arc.
Zhang Yu noticed that the place where the sword blade passed, it did not seem to have cut into flesh, but seemed to have cut into a layer of thin fog. Although the opponent had a wound, there was no blood coming out.
The woman retreated a few steps, and with a swipe of her hand, the wound immediately disappeared.
Zhang Yu saw this scene, and was not surprised. From just now, he found that the woman's breath was particularly chaotic, and could not be treated as a human.
Moreover, he found that this sword did not cause any damage, but when she recovered, her breath dropped slightly, which showed that her body's origin energy had been consumed.
In fact, he thought that since the opponent was no longer a pure human, as long as it did not affect her movements, this kind of action was really superfluous in a battle. It should be said that this woman's human side was subconsciously protecting herself.
At this time, he had already entered the white fog, and could clearly see that there were countless insects surrounding and gnawing at him. If not for the protection of the layer of light, his body might have been devoured in a short while.
He could also feel that the light was gradually being consumed under the siege of these insects, so this battle had to end as soon as possible.
The woman was obviously not good at close combat, and as she recovered from her wound, she retreated quickly, trying to pull away from Zhang Yu, but since he had found his opponent, how could he let her go so easily? He suddenly took a breath and suddenly let out a loud shout!
Boom!
A thunderous sound burst out from the ruins!
The woman was caught off guard, and her footsteps were in a mess. At the same time, the countless insects were also in a mess.
At this moment, Zhang Yu rushed forward. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. His movements were smooth and carried a sense of rhythm and beauty. With a twist of his wrist, the longsword swung naturally and slashed forward. Although the killing intent was biting cold, the brilliance of the sword was dazzling and eye-catching.
Facing the sword light to kill again, the woman hurriedly retreated, but it was too late. The brilliance flashed, and a sword mark from between her eyebrows, extending all the way to her collarbone, and almost half of her head, but even so, it did not have any excessive effect on her movements.
After these two sword strikes, Zhang Yu could already determine that this woman's aura was so chaotic and her body did not seem to have a normal physiological structure. However, she was still able to maintain her body and even her mind. There must be something that was supporting or maintaining all of this.
Although the aura was like a messy ball of thread, in fact, there must be a "knot", and if he could cut this knot, then he could definitely destroy the foundation that she relied on to maintain herself.
Among the six seals, there were many that could strengthen his senses, but these were all based on his body, and could be said to be purely the side of things.
Relying on external observation, it was impossible to see the real "crux" of the woman's problem.
But, he still had the Xia Sword!
He immediately abandoned his external senses, and with the advantage of the Xia Sword, he searched for the answer from the lake in his heart.
In a trance, he seemed to see a clumped insect, but he did not think too much, and let his consciousness drive him to slash at it!
A mournful scream burst out in front of him, and it did not sound like a woman's scream, but more like dozens of people screaming at the same time. Then, a pale white light blossomed. However, it came and went quickly, disappearing in a flash.
When Zhang Yu opened his eyes, there was only a wisp of white smoke left where the woman had been standing. Below it was a small pile of ashes of something unknown. There were also some scattered sparks flickering in the ashes.
After looking for a while, he sheathed his sword.
Only three or four breaths had passed since the two had started fighting.
He believed that this woman still had many moves that she had not used, but until she was killed, she had not had a chance to use them. She had been completely restrained by him, and then he had quickly found a flaw and dealt a fatal blow.
Tao Dingfu had said before that when fighting with an enemy, one did not need to know how strong the enemy was, only how weak the enemy was. This was the principle.
It was about time to leave this place.
But …
He raised his head to look at the majestic and lonely peak of the goddess to the southeast. These ruins were already extremely close to this peak, and he could now clearly see the steep mountain and the pure white snow.
The legendary Tianxia Beacon Tower should be on the summit.
But there was no place for people to climb, and there were no signs of man-made excavation. This was probably done intentionally by the Protectorate. It seemed that going up would not be an easy matter.
He thought for a moment, and decided to leave it for the next time he came.
But it seemed a pity to leave just like this. So he stepped out, and based on his memory, found a high point. He took out a small book and a brush from his pocket, and began to sketch the scenery in front of him.
He was very engrossed in his drawing, as if he wanted to capture the grandeur and greatness in front of him under his brush.
At some point, the little leopard cat had arrived nearby. It was squatting there, staring at him without blinking, its raised tail slightly wagging.
After a long time, he put away the book.
At this time, he seemed to sense something. He turned his head and saw the little leopard cat. He thought for a moment, then poured out half of the remaining secret pills on a handkerchief, folded it, and placed it on the stone steps to the side. Then, holding the Xia Sword, he walked out.
The little leopard cat jumped down from the high place, looked at the handkerchief, lay down and wagged its tail. It then stood up and watched him leave. Then, it picked up the handkerchief in its mouth and disappeared.
Zhang Yu walked out of the ruins, took out a whistle, and blew it. After a while, the black horse galloped over. He took out a handful of secret horse feed from the bag and fed it. After the horse finished eating, he flipped onto the saddle and went back the way he came.
This time, because he did not have to search slowly, the journey was faster. In less than half a day, he arrived at the hillside where he had stopped before. But at this time, the horse's footsteps suddenly slowed.
He looked forward.
He saw a small figure squatting there. It was the little leopard cat. It was still holding the handkerchief he had left behind in its mouth. When it saw him arrive, it put it down. Then, the pair of lively and bright eyes kept looking at him.
Zhang Yu could feel from the lake in his heart that the little leopard cat had a feeling of closeness to him. It undoubtedly wanted to follow him.
He thought for a moment. Keeping a leopard cat was not a big deal. After all, it was a spiritual creature. It had potential. Even if it was not useful, he could just treat it as a pet.
He nodded at the little thing and said, "Come here."
The little leopard cat could not understand human language, but it could understand his meaning and emotions. It meowed, jumped a few times, and directly got on the horse's back.
The black horse kicked the ground uneasily. Zhang Yu patted its neck to comfort it. He also rubbed the little leopard cat's head. This little thing's fur was unusually soft and had a slight spiritual golden light. There was no dust or impurities on it.
He pulled the reins and urged the horse to continue on its journey. It was only a day later that they successfully left the mountains.
But just as he was about to go into the wilderness, the little leopard cat suddenly propped up its upper body and looked at the piles of rocks in front of it vigilantly. Then, it turned back and meowed at him twice.
Zhang Yu felt its nervous and alert emotions. He immediately knew that there was a problem in front of him. He thought for a moment and did not rush to avoid it. Instead, he reined in the horse and slowly retreated.
As if they had sensed that they had been exposed, a dozen or so people leaped out from the boulders. Judging from their appearances, all of them appeared to be natives, but their bodies were abnormally tall and burly, in stark contrast to the short and lean bodies of the average native, and the weapons they were equipped with were also completely different.
After these people came out, a few people in the front jumped out and ran towards him. Many people behind them pulled their bows and shot at him. It seemed that they were not trying to hurt him, but to prevent him from leaving.
The barbarian at the front was clad in leather armor and held two flying axes in his hands. He seemed to be the strongest of the group. Moreover, his exposed skin turned red as he ran. It seemed as if steam was coming out of his body. His muscles also seemed to have swelled up a little.
At this moment, Zhang Yu's heart lake reflected an unusually scorching and powerful aura. He pulled out his sword with a clang and urged his horse forward. The horse was extremely fast, and as it galloped, the incoming swords all fell behind him.
The barbarian saw that he was rushing towards him. However, he didn't stop. Instead, he quickened his pace. Just as the two sides were about to come into contact, the barbarian roared and threw out the two axes. Then, he pulled out a long hammer from his back and continued to rush forward.
Zhang Yu raised his sword and lightly blocked the two flying axes, sending them flying away.
The barbarian's eyes revealed a trace of craftiness. He didn't rush forward directly. Instead, he turned his body slightly and swung his hammer towards the horse's head.
After Zhang Yu pulled out his sword, he kept the Xia Sword behind him. At this time, he borrowed the horse's speed and swung it upwards. Originally, the length of the sword was not enough to reach the barbarian. However, at this time, the tip of the sword suddenly emitted a sword light that was about a foot long. Suddenly, the long hammer was cut in half. At the same time, when the barbarian's horse passed by, he swung his arm and swung the sword backwards. With a 'chi' sound, the barbarian's head and half of his shoulder flew into the air.
