The swamp of ecstasy.
The battle came faster than Lu Chengfeng had imagined. As the beasts moved in the woods, a fishy smell filled the air.
Roar!
A roar of beasts came from somewhere, and dozens of jungle scavenger wolves rushed out, roaring and rushing towards them from all directions.
"Kill!" Tan Xiong shouted loudly, and smashed out with the copper stick in his hand, smashing the brain of a wolf. Then he swept the stick, and seven or eight wolves were knocked flying, their skin torn and flesh exposed, whimpering and unable to get up.
Xu Changge and Duan Li at the back seemed to have experience in cooperation. One of them had a sword as powerful as water, and the other one was as aggressive as fire. With their cooperation, more than a dozen wolves lost their lives in the blink of an eye, and corpses and blood were scattered all over the ground.
Lu Chengfeng and Lu Lingxi did not delay either. They drew their swords with a clang. Both of them were good at swordsmanship, agile and swift. One on the left and one on the right, they swept out a flash of sword light, and the throats of all the wolves that pounced on them were accurately cut.
In just a few breaths, the dozens of wolves that had pounced on the scene were all killed, leaving only a mess on the ground.
"Let's go, someone will take care of these corpses." Tan Xiong called out and led everyone to continue forward. In the past, the sect did not care about the corpses of these wild beasts, but if a demon occurred, someone must be assigned to clean them up, otherwise they would become blood food for the demons, making them more ferocious and powerful.
Therefore, the sect would arrange for the General Affairs Hall to assign outer peak disciples to do these finishing touches, with the help of one or two experts and professional equipment. It is not very dangerous, but it is very busy.
Tan Xiong walked forward and said, "Junior Brother Lu's strength is beyond my expectations. The swordsmanship he just displayed is definitely not just the tenth level. He must have reached the eleventh level, right?"
"Senior brother has a keen eye, and he has indeed made some breakthroughs recently." Lu Chengfeng replied, with no intention of hiding anything. From now on, everyone will fight side by side, and he cannot hide his martial arts skills from others.
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining three people all showed surprise on their faces. Lu Chengfeng was only twenty years old at this time, but his martial arts skills had already reached such a high level. I'm afraid that in a few years, another hero will emerge in the sect.
The so-called Three Heroes and Seven Gallants are the geniuses among the true disciples of this generation in the sect. The Three Heroes are the leaders, and their martial arts skills are comparable to those of the elders at a young age, making them peerless geniuses.
The Seven Heroes are slightly inferior and have not yet crossed that crucial hurdle, but their martial arts skills surpass their peers and are second only to the elders of the sect.
With the talent and speed of improvement that Lu Chengfeng has shown, if nothing unexpected happens, he is definitely qualified to be among them. The only thing is whether he can cross the hurdle of the elders.
Lu Lingxi and Lu Chengfeng were the closest and had been paying close attention to his performance. They spoke up at this time, "I think Junior Brother Lu is not someone without fighting experience. His swordsmanship is exquisite and he is calm and composed."
"It's a pity that you have just entered the inner peak and I think you haven't started practicing the "Xuanhe Qianying Tongyou Sword Art" yet. Otherwise, the five of us would form a five-element sword formation and charge directly into the depths of the swamp."
Xu Changge smiled and said, "If Junior Brother Lu wasn't here, why would the sect let Senior Brother Tan join us? This is clearly a sign of comfort. After all, the sect also knows that we can't form a sword formation, so we naturally need an expert to support us."
Lu Chengfeng finally understood that the team assignment was not a random arrangement but involved many considerations.
As they talked, they moved faster and faster, and the grass and trees around them flashed by.
Lu Chengfeng also gradually felt that something was wrong. It didn't seem like Tan Xiong was moving forward casually. It seemed like he had found a target and was chasing it quickly.
puff!puff!puff!
As they moved forward, more and more ferocious beasts blocked the way, including jackals, tigers, leopards, and even black bears. These beasts, which should not have been here at all, pounced on them like crazy with red eyes.
For the first time, Lu Chengfeng witnessed how powerful Tan Xiong was. The copper stick in his hand was so powerful that any beast would die if it was touched by it, or break into pieces if it was hit by it. There was no match for him.
He and the other three only needed to pay attention to their surroundings and prevent the enemy from getting close to Tan Xiong's back. With Tan Xiong's invincible and invincible presence, the beasts blocking their way did not slow down their speed, but instead became faster and faster.
About half an hour later, Lu Chengfeng and his men killed at least hundreds of ferocious beasts and finally found their target. It was a two-headed snake, as thick as a bowl and three or four feet long. It was surrounded by black wind, and it was obvious at first glance that it was different from an ordinary wild beast.
This was also the first time that Lu Chengfeng saw a monster beast. Only then did he understand what a monster was. Monster means something different. Anything that is abnormal is a monster. So as long as he saw a monster beast, he could tell it was different at a glance.
"This thing has iron scales on its body, is invulnerable to swords and spears, and is immune to water and fire. It can also spit out poisonous mist from its mouth. I will take the lead in the attack later, and you will support me and kill it with sword energy. We must make a quick decision and never let it escape."
Tan Xiong gave an order, then suddenly took a step forward and soared into the sky. After a few flips, he roared and pounced down from the sky like thunder.
"Death to the evildoer!"
A faint yellow halo appeared on the copper stick, which looked somewhat like sword energy, but was different from it. When the stick was smashed down, it was like the collapse of a pillar in the sky.
Boom!
Accompanied by a thunderous collision sound, a stick hit the two-headed snake's body directly. The black scales actually emitted electric sparks. More than a dozen black scales were smashed to pieces, revealing a bloody hole.
The demon snake felt the pain and let out a piercing scream. Half of its body stood up from the ground, and its two heads roared towards the sky, spewing out black poisonous mist and rushing towards Tan Xiong.
"Let's go!" Xu Changge shouted at this time, and decisively joined forces with Duan Li to kill together. The sword energy burst out from the two long swords, which was two feet long and killed the demon snake from the tail.
"Junior Brother Chengfeng, let's cover Senior Brother Tan from his flank." Lu Lingxi said, then immediately drew his sword and rushed over. The cold light on the blade suddenly appeared, and it was three feet long.
Only then did Lu Chengfeng realize that among the people traveling with him, except for Tan Xiong, Lu Lingxi had the highest cultivation level, and his swordsmanship had reached above the sixteenth level.
"The true disciples of the sect are indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. These true disciples are so young, but their swordsmanship is so advanced. If it weren't for my gifted talent, I would be far inferior to them."
Lu Chengfeng exclaimed in admiration and drew his sword as well. The sword energy extended one foot out. He and Lu Lingxi stood on either side of Tan Xiong, neither getting close to him but attacking with their sword energy.
Tan Xiong did not dodge or evade the poisonous fog of the demon snake. Instead, he suddenly shouted, "Fight!"
An invisible sound wave spread out, causing the poisonous fog that had condensed into clouds to dissipate, leaving only wisps of willow-catkin-like smoke floating in the air.
Lu Chengfeng's pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that in the catkin-like smoke, there was actually a dense layer of poisonous insects, which were falling from the sky with a hissing sound.
"No wonder Senior Brother Tan's roar was able to disperse the poisonous fog. There are so many poisonous insects in it?"
He felt horrified just by seeing the dense corpses of poisonous insects on the ground. He simply used his sword skills to the extreme and killed them with sword energy.
But when the sword energy struck the black scales, it only produced a flash of sparks. The snake felt pain, but was not hurt at all.
Lu Chengfeng's face darkened slightly. Only then did he realize that the gap between himself and Tan Xiong was much greater than he had imagined.
