In a somewhat desolate mountain forest, although there was no snow, thousands of trees were withered.

Shang Li was walking in the mountains and forests, looking quietly ahead.

It was expected that Fang Bie was not in Yingtian Mansion. He went to Ying Tian Mansion first not to meet Fang Bie, but to confirm Shang Jiuge's comfort and condition first.

After confirming that Shang Jiuge was living well under his own will and had no plans to return to Huashan for the time being, Shang Li never thought of forcing Shang Jiuge to leave.

The encounter with Qin was unexpected, because if Qin had not come to see Shang Li, Shang Li would not have taken the initiative to see Qin. :(/

But Qin's appearance is equally beneficial and harmless.

He thought lightly in his mind that Qin was not as aggressive and arrogant as he had shown before. Of course, it had something to do with the fact that he was the one he was talking to. As for Qin's purpose, Shang Li neither fully believed nor disbelieved it, but he wanted to truly

To see a person clearly, you must not listen to what he says, but see what he does.

While Shang Li was thinking, a sharp arrow shot through the air towards Shang Li.

Shang Li's expression remained unchanged, he shook his hand and drew his sword, only to see a flash of cold light, and the arrow was cut in half in an instant.

But the sound of the arrow is just the prelude to all the attacks to come.

Then there were loud gunshots and more rapid gunfire, and several bullets were fired at Shang Li from different angles without any reason.

The gray robe was as swollen as a balloon and as hard as steel. Those projectiles hitting it were unable to penetrate.

"Who is here? If you want to take my life, why don't you come forward to meet me?" Shang Li's breath flowed through his dantian, and he spoke in a deep voice, which penetrated most of the forest.

But no one answered.

In fact, Shang Li encountered quite a few assassinations along the way, and most of them were at the hands of Luo Jiao. After all, Shang Li is the only leader of the martial arts community in the Central Plains who is still walking around, just like a child walking around in the busy city with a thousand pieces of gold.

middle.

Of course Shang Li was not a child without the ability to protect himself, but his identity and martial arts skills were worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Because the truth is so simple, Luo Jiao had suffered huge setbacks in the Middle-Earth before, so he naturally needed unscrupulous revenge to vent his anger.

At this time, when Shang Li went down the mountain, he undoubtedly became the target of public criticism.

But this is the first time an assassination with such intensity has occurred.

Because Shang Li's whereabouts were erratic and his pace was fast, Luo Jiao was unable to organize a strong enough assassination manpower.

But this time, there is something different.

In the past, Shang Li's whereabouts had always avoided big cities and towns, and he had always traveled on secluded roads. Although most people could guess that Shang Li was going down the mountain to attend an appointment with Fang Farewell, the current news about Fang Farewell was that he was in Jiangxi

It is near Bailu Academy, so most of the forces trying to stop Shang Li are deployed around Shanxi.

But they never expected that Shang Li would cross Shanxi regardless and attack Yingtian Mansion. This went beyond many people's expectations and also caused many people's plans to fail.

But it's different now. Shang Li has clearly appeared in Yingtian Mansion, and may go to Shanxi next. Once the route between two points and one line is determined, it will be much easier to set up traps.

Moreover, combined with Shang Li's habit of taking quiet roads, he could just wait and see.

Now, I really caught a big fish.

The only response to Shang Li was the next round of gunshots.

There is no precedent for using long-range firearms to assassinate a peerless master who is in the top ten of the world.

At least, there is no successful precedent.

But with the development of firearms, this efficient long-range weapon will definitely replace bows and arrows for this purpose, but unfortunately Shangli provided them with this opportunity.

Shang Li heard the sound of gunshots and could feel the projectiles flying towards him from all directions. He was surrounded and now he was like a prisoner trapped in a corner.

Having read this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.

"Why is this so?"

While saying this, he jumped up high at the moment before all the projectiles had arrived.

If you jump fast enough, you can dodge bullets.

As long as you jump fast enough and high enough.

Blind defense is just a passive attack, only active attack is the best defense.

Although the old man didn't know much about the firearms that attacked him, no matter how ignorant he was, he knew that the biggest disadvantage of such a precise pointing weapon was aiming.

Unless it forms a barrage to damage the enemy.

Shang Li instantly jumped onto the branches of the big tree above him. The opponent chose to ambush in the woods, of course because it could better conceal the trap and organize a more three-dimensional fire network.

But at the same time, if the first round of attacks does not work, in such a dense forest, any long-range weapon will eventually become a burden.

Only the sword in your hand is the most trustworthy.

As Shang Li jumped up to the treetops, the entire forest suddenly became a little quiet, even dead.

But then, a shrill cry came from the silent forest.

Shang Li chose to pierce the left lung of the first person he found with his sword.

The reason why the lungs are stabbed instead of the heart is because stabbing the lungs will not kill the person immediately. He can live for a long time, or at least be able to cry out alive.

But once the lung lobe is punctured, the alveoli will be filled with blood. As long as you continue to breathe, the blood will soon block your trachea, causing you to choke to death on your own blood.

Of course, you can also choose to hold your breath, so suffocating to death is also a good choice.

And the moment the sword edge pierced the lungs was cold, it was also very sour.

At this time, screams echoed throughout the woods, and then, new screams sounded from a new location.

Such a cry is the best weapon to shake the morale of the military, and it is also the best tool to awaken fear.

The roles between prey and hunter were instantly reversed, and the entire forest fell into panic.

Originally, even Shang Li, when everyone held their breath and hid, only relied on the initial bullets fired to determine the location of other people, and in the end he could only capture a few people.

But if you choose to catch but not kill your prey and let them scream before death, more people will choose to move and escape out of fear.

Just like when catching rabbits, after the net is opened, the next thing to do is to make those rabbits who were hiding quietly run.

Soon, the first man became unbearable in the fear of being hunted. He crept down the hidden tree and was about to escape into the distance. Shang Li had already appeared in front of him, and then

The sword was delivered with precision and pierced his lung.

"The third one." Shang Li's voice sounded coldly in the woods.

It's like the cold murmur of death before you die.

This man has never been afraid of killing people. You can't judge his fighting style and temperament based on his usual kindness.

The leader also realized that he was a sheep trying to hunt a lion. Nothing was wrong. The only thing he was wrong was that he picked the wrong opponent at the wrong time.

The original trap now turned into a self-closing snare. He closed his eyes in pain, then put two fingers into his mouth and blew. At that moment, the sharp whistle resounded throughout the forest, even covering it.

The screams of colleagues.

This was a signal for everyone to retreat after the plan failed.

After he blew the whistle, he immediately turned over and got off the tree without hesitation, and then a sharp sword energy came one after another, cutting off the middle of the big tree he was just living on.

Shang Li quietly landed in front of him who was trying to escape, and ignored the noisy sounds of escaping and evacuating around him.

"I don't know why my life is so valuable, but you all want to come and take it." Shang Li looked at the other party and said calmly. "Can you give me an answer?"

The other party kept silent, knowing that it was almost impossible to escape if Shang Li caught him, so he simply felt guilty, pulled out his dagger and rushed towards Shang Li.

Looking at the killer with cold light flashing in his hand, Shang Li shook his head, but he did not neglect his hand at all. The second sword light flashed by, and while the opponent turned over and jumped to avoid it, he still rushed towards Shang Li.

But in the next moment, there was a sword on his forehead.

While Shang Li forced the opponent to dodge, he pointed his sword at the opponent's forehead, directly ending all his actions.

Only then did Shang Li notice the movements of his hands.

His right hand still held the dagger tightly, but his left hand was buried in his arms.

Shang Li drew his sword, and the opponent fell on his back. He brought out a brown-gray oil paper bag with his left hand. He didn't know what was wrapped inside, and it looked bulging.

Shang Li's expression changed. He swept back three feet in an instant, and then drew out his sword. The sword energy cut open the brown-grey oil paper bag, and saw black particles like iron sand flowing out of it. Surprisingly, it was all filled with

gunpowder.

If Shang Li had been a little soft just now, just penetrating the lungs like he did with those dead soldiers before, then the other party could immediately detonate the explosives in his arms and die together with Shang Li.

Even if Shang Li was lucky enough to survive such a close-range explosion, he would definitely be seriously injured.

"The dead soldiers of the Luo Sect are really a bunch of lunatics. Even the bee hive rarely does this." At this moment, a cold young voice suddenly came from the treetop above.

After Shang Li was fighting, he looked up at the opponent and saw a young man in commoner clothes standing there, looking down at Shang Li with a vague smile.

"Farewell below, I've met Master Shang."

"What do you use to prove that you are Fang Bing?" Shang Li asked the other party.

Because the two people have never met each other.

"That's all." The young man said, jumped down condescendingly, and struck out with his sword towards Shang Li without hesitation.

The edge is like electricity and the sound is like thunder.
