Chapter 65: Taking the initiative, the first bloody blow.
The night seemed to press even lower.
There was almost no light in the forest.
Only the faint fire at the distant campsite resembled an eye that refused to go out.
⸻
Li Xuan walked at the front.
The steps were very light.
Walk close to the ground like a shadow.
⸻
Chen He, accompanied by three guards, stood two steps behind him.
It's not far.
But they just happen not to interfere with each other.
⸻
They didn't speak.
⸻
At times like these, speaking would be superfluous.
⸻
Li Xuan stopped.
Raise your hand.
⸻
The people behind them all stopped at the same time.
Not a sound was made.
⸻
He tilted his ear.
listen.
⸻
Deep in the woods, the three men remained in the same position.
⸻
but--
There was a bit more breath.
⸻
"Someone's here."
He made his judgment in his mind.
⸻
This is more troublesome than before.
⸻
If it drags on any longer...
There weren't three people.
⸻
It is a single layer.
⸻
He tilted his head slightly.
He spoke in a low voice:
"The three people in front."
"We just met up with one person."
⸻
Chen He frowned.
⸻
"Four."
⸻
Li Xuan nodded.
⸻
"If we delay any longer, the number will increase."
⸻
Chen He did not hesitate.
⸻
"How do we fight?"
⸻
Li Xuan's gaze fell ahead.
⸻
"Break one."
⸻
Chen He was taken aback.
⸻
"What do you mean?"
⸻
"Kill one first."
⸻
Li Xuan's voice was very low.
⸻
"The remaining three will cause chaos."
⸻
Chen He's breath hitched.
⸻
This is a gamble.
⸻
but--
It is the most direct way.
⸻
"I'll go first."
Li Xuan said.
⸻
Chen He nodded.
⸻
"I'll fix it."
⸻
The two exchanged a glance.
⸻
They didn't say anything more.
⸻
Li Xuan has already made his move.
⸻
He didn't charge straight ahead.
⸻
Instead, it goes around.
⸻
Cut from the side.
⸻
Like a snake.
⸻
Silently.
⸻
Deep in the woods.
⸻
The four people weren't standing too close together.
⸻
One is at the very front.
Two are in the middle.
There's another one a little further back.
⸻
The one after that.
The breath is a little weaker.
⸻
Li Xuan's goal—
it's him.
⸻
"Cut off the rear first."
⸻
A thought struck him.
⸻
He took a step.
⸻
The speed increased instantly!
⸻
The sound of the wind was suppressed to a minimum.
⸻
But that instantaneous change in airflow—
It still alerted the other party.
⸻
"Who?!"
⸻
The person behind suddenly turned around!
⸻
What I saw—
It was just a shadow!
⸻
Too close!
⸻
Aoki's finger!
⸻
call out!
⸻
The finger strikes straight at the side of the throat!
⸻
That person reacted extremely quickly!
Forced head tilt!
⸻
But it was still too slow!
⸻
puff!
⸻
Apply pressure with your fingers to the side of your shoulder!
⸻
Blood splattered instantly!
⸻
"Let's do it!"
⸻
The man roared!
⸻
The other three reacted instantly!
⸻
The two pounced on Li Xuan!
⸻
One person immediately retreated to create distance!
⸻
Chen He has already charged forward!
⸻
"block!"
⸻
A flash of light!
⸻
boom!
⸻
One person was forced to stop!
⸻
Another person presses down from the side!
⸻
Extremely fast!
⸻
Li Xuan did not retreat.
⸻
He took a step forward!
⸻
A backhand slap!
⸻
It struck the chest of the person who had just been injured!
⸻
boom!
⸻
That person was already out of balance!
⸻
That palm strike sent him flying!
⸻
It crashed heavily into a tree!
⸻
"puff!"
⸻
He spat out a mouthful of blood!
⸻
The person collapsed immediately!
⸻
The number one person—useless!
⸻
"kill!"
⸻
The remaining three people's eyes instantly turned red!
⸻
The rhythm has been disrupted!
⸻
They didn't expect—
The other party will take the initiative!
⸻
Even more unexpectedly—
One person was crippled right from the start!
⸻
Chen He has already held the line!
⸻
Knife against knife!
⸻
clang!
⸻
Sparks explode!
⸻
The opponent is clearly stronger!
⸻
Qi Refining Level 5!
⸻
Chen He's arm jerked!
⸻
He took half a step back!
⸻
"withstand!"
⸻
He whispered!
⸻
Another guard came to the rescue from the side!
⸻
The spear thrust out!
⸻
This forced the other party to be distracted!
⸻
Li Xuan has already turned around!
⸻
the goal--
The person who retreated!
⸻
That person is trying to create distance!
⸻
It's obvious that they want to—
drag!
⸻
"Trying to stall?"
⸻
Li Xuan's eyes turned cold!
⸻
He did not pursue it directly.
⸻
Instead, it's cut at an angle!
⸻
Block the opponent's retreat!
⸻
"You're blocking the way!"
⸻
The man was startled!
⸻
He stopped abruptly!
⸻
The knife has been drawn!
⸻
A straight chop!
⸻
Li Xuan will not retreat!
⸻
sideways!
⸻
Get closer!
⸻
One punch!
⸻
boom!
⸻
Hit the opponent's ribs!
⸻
The man let out a muffled groan!
⸻
His breathing became disordered!
⸻
But it didn't collapse!
⸻
A backhand slash!
⸻
Sweep!
⸻
Li Xuan leaned back!
⸻
The blade grazed the hem of her clothes!
⸻
He slipped!
⸻
In an instant, he took half a step back!
⸻
Go in again!
⸻
Aoki's finger!
⸻
call out!
⸻
This time—
Target the dantian directly!
⸻
The man's pupils contracted!
⸻
Forcibly twisting his body!
⸻
But we were still a step too slow!
⸻
puff!
⸻
Finger force penetrates the body!
⸻
The spiritual energy instantly became chaotic!
⸻
"what!"
⸻
He screamed in agony!
⸻
He knelt down completely!
⸻
The second person—useless!
⸻
the other side.
⸻
Chen He has already suppressed his opponent!
⸻
The two fought head-on!
⸻
The blade flashed repeatedly!
⸻
That person is clearly experienced!
⸻
No head-on confrontation!
⸻
Fight and retreat!
⸻
"withdraw!"
⸻
He growled!
⸻
The last person left immediately!
⸻
Without hesitation!
⸻
Retreat straight into the depths of the forest!
⸻
Chen He wants to pursue her!
⸻
But Li Xuan stopped him with a shout!
⸻
"Don't chase!"
⸻
Chen He abruptly stopped!
⸻
His breathing is heavy!
⸻
"Why don't you go after them!"
⸻
His voice was filled with suppressed anger!
⸻
Li Xuan looked in the direction where the person had disappeared.
⸻
"There are people behind us."
⸻
Chen He was taken aback.
⸻
A few breaths later.
⸻
far away.
It really started to move.
⸻
Stronger.
⸻
It's heavier.
⸻
"Walk."
⸻
Li Xuan did not hesitate.
⸻
Turn around!
⸻
"Back to camp!"
⸻
Chen He immediately understood!
⸻
"withdraw!"
⸻
The group quickly retreated!
⸻
No unnecessary delays!
⸻
The woods fell silent again.
⸻
But the air has changed.
⸻
It's heavier.
⸻
More pressure.
⸻
Camp.
⸻
Li Yuanshan was already standing at the front.
⸻
He gripped the knife tightly in his hand.
⸻
He stopped hiding behind.
⸻
He just stared straight ahead.
⸻
"They're here..."
⸻
When Li Xuan and the others rushed out of the woods.
⸻
He was completely stunned!
⸻
"I'm back!"
⸻
Chen He landed!
⸻
Turn around immediately!
⸻
"Cease fire!"
⸻
The guards quickly regrouped!
⸻
Form a defensive line!
⸻
Li Xuan stood at the very front.
⸻
His breathing remained steady.
⸻
But his eyes were even colder.
⸻
"Two were killed."
⸻
He said it casually.
⸻
Li Yuanshan was taken aback.
⸻
"two?!"
⸻
He instinctively looked behind him.
⸻
There was nothing there.
⸻
But he could imagine—
What just happened?
⸻
Chen He's breathing was still unsteady.
⸻
"One of them escaped."
⸻
Li Xuan nodded.
⸻
That's enough.
⸻
Chen He frowned.
⸻
"He will bring people with him."
⸻
Li Xuan looked into the darkness.
⸻
"Perfect."
⸻
The air became still.
⸻
Li Yuanshan's heart tightened.
⸻
"Perfect?"
⸻
He was a little taken aback.
⸻
Li Xuan said softly:
⸻
"We are no longer the prey."
⸻
These words were spoken.
⸻
Everyone in the camp.
There was a moment of silence.
⸻
Li Yuanshan stood there.
⸻
Suddenly I felt—
A little panic in my heart.
It gradually dispersed.
⸻
Instead of—
It's something unfamiliar.
⸻
"We...can fight too."
⸻
He said something in a low voice.
⸻
No one responded.
⸻
But no one refuted it.
⸻
far away.
Deep in the woods.
⸻
There is a gathering of energy.
⸻
That night.
It's not over yet.
⸻
But there is one thing—
Things have changed.
⸻
They are no longer just being watched.
⸻
But -
They began to be feared.
