Deep in the dense forest, towering trees rise from the ground, and their knotted branches are intertwined and intertwined to form an airtight dome, blocking out all the light from the sky and the earth.
Under the forest canopy, there is chaos of light and darkness, and the mottled light is squeezed out from the dense branches and leaves, making it so dim that one cannot tell whether it is sunlight or moonlight.
The moist smell of rotten leaves mixed with the greenness of vegetation and the smell of ferocious beasts flows slowly in the forest. Every wisp of wind passing through the branches and leaves will make a soft rustling sound, like countless peeping eyes lurking in the dark, carrying a heart-stopping danger.
After leaving the city, Lin Qing headed towards the deepest part of the dense forest.
Since breaking through to Third Tier, his endurance has been greatly improved. He walked through the rugged and complicated mountains and forests day and night, without resting for three whole days, and he did not feel even the slightest bit tired. Qi and Blood Realm was still flowing smoothly throughout his body, and the strong and long-lasting energy continued to flow out.
Yellow-Tier High Grade's body control makes his movements extremely sophisticated. Every time he lands, moves, or turns, he accurately grasps the terrain's momentum and uses his strength to move lightly and swiftly.
The complex and tangled branches, the slippery rotten leaves everywhere, and the criss-crossing rock ravines presented almost no obstacles to Lin Qing. And during these three days of running, the pursuers behind him were far away.
In three days, he had penetrated thousands of miles into the dense forest.
Enough.
Lin Qing suddenly stopped and stopped going any further. He decided to wait for them here.
Night falls quietly, and a bright moon hangs high in the sky. The bright moonlight penetrates the gaps between the branches and leaves, casting wisps of clear light, coating the dark forest with a cold silvery white.
From time to time, the roars of ferocious beasts can be heard in the distance. The sound is heard across tens of miles of mountains and forests, echoing in the valleys and forests. It is low and ferocious, making this dense forest desolate and terrifying.
At this moment, Lin Qing is standing on a branch, looking at the bright moon in the sky, improving the progress of <Lunar Visualization Art>.
The night is getting darker and the wind is slowing down.
After an unknown amount of time, a subtle stamping sound came from the ground, breaking the silence. The first batch of pursuers finally arrived.
Five figures broke through the dense bushes at the bottom, spread out in a fan-shaped formation, and slowly approached Lin Qing.
The man in the middle raised his eyes and looked up, staring at the young man standing calmly on the branch, with a sarcastic and proud sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Boy, run? Weren't you pretty good at running before?"
The man's voice was playful, echoing clearly in the silent forest, and he already regarded Lin Qing as his treasure.
Lin Qing lowered his head slightly and scanned the five people below with indifferent eyes. His eyes were calm and calm, and a calm voice came from his mouth:
"Can't you see that I'm waiting for you?"
As soon as these words came out, the five people under the tree were stunned, and then they burst into uncontrollable laughter.
"Hahaha! Wait for us? What a big tone!"
The leading man in black suppressed his smile, his eyes became even more contemptuous, and he sneered:
"Xie Chen, it seems that Hidden Dragon Ranking's false reputation has harmed you after all."
"Hidden Dragon Ranking Twenty-six, how could you be so conceited?"
He stood with his head held high, his aura rising slowly, and a sense of pride rising between his brows:
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Laozi was also a member of Hidden Dragon Ranking back then, and his ranking was higher than yours now."
The moment the words fell, the man in black was shocked!
Boom --
The majestic power of the Qi and Blood Realm suddenly erupted, and the majestic air wave swept all around with him as the center, shaking the surrounding low grass and trees, causing fallen leaves to fly in the forest, and the air current to surge violently.
Visible red Qi and Blood Realm steamed up, circling and surging around him. In an instant, a condensed, thick and stretching Blood-Qi River took shape!
The long river flows, red like flames, running endlessly, and Fourth-Tier Martial Artist's unique majestic pressure falls on this mountain forest.
At the same time, the other four surrounding warriors no longer held back. Qi and Blood Realm exploded all around them, and four powerful Blood Qi Wolf Smoke steamed up.
The first team to catch up was indeed not simple, one was Fourth Tier and four were Third Tier.
The majestic martial arts pressure was superimposed layer by layer, covering the entire giant tree. Under the night, the five people's eyes were sharp, murderous intent was revealed, and they locked on Lin Qing on the branch.
The leader Fourth Tier man had cold eyes and spoke in a deep voice with absolute confidence:
"Now, do you regret it?"
Faced with the pressure and murderous intent coming towards him, Lin Qing still stood firmly on the branch, his clothes and sleeves moved slightly, and his face remained calm from beginning to end.
He just looked at the aggressive five people below and asked softly:
"Have you brought any money?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
The pride and calmness on the face of the man in black froze for an instant, and his eyes were full of astonishment, which was immediately replaced by biting cold anger.
"Stubborn! Looking for death!"
A cold drink resounded in the forest!
"Do it!"
After the words fell, the four Third-Tier Martial Artist beside him burst out with energy at their feet, and their bodies rushed out!
Three of them slashed at the thick tree trunk with their knives. The sharp blades wrapped around Third Tier and Qi and Blood Realm, trying to force Lin Qing to the ground.
Another person jumped into the air, the sharp sword light reflected the bright moonlight, and was carried by the fierce wind, Lin Qing, which cut directly into the branches.
A Third Tier dared to charge Lin Qing head-on. From the moment he jumped up, the outcome was already doomed.
A flash of extremely fast knife light flashed from the branch.
Pfft --
Blood spurted out, and the ear-piercing sound of tearing flesh and bone suddenly exploded.
This Third-Tier Martial Artist didn't even have time to scream, before his body was cut neatly in half from head to waist with a knife!
Blood spattered everywhere, internal organs rolled down, and the two halves of the body fell heavily to the ground in the night wind, hitting the rotten leaves, completely lifeless.
In an instant, death!
At this time, the impact of the broken trunk was slowly felt. The thousand-year-old tree shook violently, its branches trembled endlessly, branches and leaves fell all over the sky, and the entire tree was already on the verge of toppling.
The strong wind was blowing under the trees, and there was a lot of murderous intent.
Lin Qing stood on the trembling branch, looking down at the three people below, and let out a cold snort.
Want to force me to the ground?
As you wish.
Then, he fell from the branch, his body carrying astonishing gravity and richness Qi and Blood Realm.
Bang!
A loud and dull sound shook the forest!
He accurately stepped on the head of a warrior with one foot!
That Third-Tier Martial Artist had no time to react, and his head was pressed into the chest cavity under this terrifying force!
Crack -- the sound of dense bone cracks sounded.
The hard skull and cervical vertebrae were all shattered, and the torso was instantly crushed and collapsed by the huge force. The whole person collapsed on the ground like mud.
In just two breaths of time, four Third-Tier Martial Artist rushed up and killed two of them!
The pupils of the remaining two warriors suddenly shrank, their faces were as pale as paper, and the blood in their bodies almost flowed backwards. The arrogance and confidence they had just now were completely crushed by fear!
The instinct of survival overwhelmed everything. The two of them had no intention of fighting anymore, turned around suddenly, and rushed desperately towards the Fourth Tier man behind them, hoping to get a glimmer of life under the protection of Fourth-Tier Martial Artist.
But in a martial arts fight, the most taboo thing is to expose your back to the enemy!
Facing an extremely powerful person who is far superior to yourself, running away in a panic and exposing your weaknesses is tantamount to seeking death!
The two turned their backs to Lin Qing, and while running away with all their strength, another icy sword light passed across the sky.
There was a flash of cold light and blood flew!
The third warrior's body suddenly stagnated, and then he was split open by a knife from his shoulder to his waist.
Warm blood spurted out, dyeing the layers of rotten leaves under his feet red. The body fell heavily to the ground, completely lifeless.
The last warrior, relying on the short-term obstruction of his companions, used all his strength and rushed to the side of the Fourth Tier leader in a state of embarrassment. His whole body was dripping with cold sweat, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and he was in shock.
From the instant death of the first warrior to three deaths and one escape, it only took a few breaths.
The originally calm and proud man Fourth Tier sensed something was wrong when his first subordinate fell, and his whole body Blood-Qi River galloped with all his strength, and his figure rushed towards the battlefield desperately to help.
But Lin Qing's knife is too fast!
It was so fast that he had no time to rescue, and it was so fast that it broke all his cognition and predictions!
When he rushed forward with all his strength, only one of the four elite Third-Tier Martial Artist under his command was left shivering and clinging to the side.
At this moment, the calmness, pride, and determination on the face of the man in black were gone.
Instead, there was disbelief on his face.
He stared intently at the young man standing quietly in front of him, his pupils trembling, his mind trembling, and the Blood-Qi River running around him began to become slightly disordered.
He asked himself that as Fourth-Tier Martial Artist, there was no way he could achieve such a clean and devastating killing!
The huge gap and extreme fear impacted his mind, causing him to completely lose his composure.
The man suddenly raised his head and laughed, his laughter hoarse and shrill, filled with endless absurdity and despair, echoing in the dark forest.
"Hahaha..."
"This is the fucking twenty-sixth place Hidden Dragon Ranking?!"
The sad laughter has not completely dissipated.
What responded to him was a bright sword light.
