Chapter 462 Duel, Planting Trees
Chapter 462 Duel, Planting Trees
noon.
Ruined temple.
The inky clouds cast dark shadows on the earth.
The wind is cold and the grass is like hills.
A swordsman stood with a sword on his back, his eyes as bright as stars under his bamboo hat, staring into the distance.
Before the man moves, the sword's intent has already reached the sky.
On the dark horizon in the distance, a vague shadow gradually emerged and slowly approached.
The man was covered in a black robe. He had no legs under the robe. Instead, he was floating in the air like a ghost.
He had a white mask on his face, with grim features painted on it.
The man in black robe came from afar and arrived in front of the gate of the ruined temple, confronting the green-robed swordsman in the air.
"You're here." The green-clothed swordsman said coldly.
"I'm here." said the strange man in black robe sinisterly.
"You shouldn't have come."
"Oh, why."
"You come, only to die."
"Hehehe, no one will die today, because I will make you my puppet and serve me for life."
"I fell for your evil magic last time, but this time, it won't be so easy."
"Haha! Using magic against you is just to reduce trouble. Do you think I can't do anything to you without using magic?"
"Stop talking nonsense and let's do it!"
In an instant, the sword light was like a rainbow, and the cold light illuminated the surrounding area. The green-clothed swordsman used his ultimate move, and the sword energy was sharp, instantly dealing a wave of damage.
There was a hint of surprise in the puppeteer's eyes, but then he waved his hand and several paper figures floated to the ground. Their limbs twitched and their bodies swelled as if they were inflated. In the blink of an eye, they turned into lifelike paper figures, both men and women, all dressed as warriors, each holding a sword and a weapon, and besieged them.
Paper Puppet·Brave Warrior (Puppet Master’s Servant): Level 33.
Paper Puppet: Red Heroine (Puppet Master’s Servant): Level 34.
Paper Puppet·General Fierce (Puppet Master’s Servant): Level 35.
Paper Puppet·Jiang Ke (Puppeteer’s Servant): Level 34.
These paper figures are obviously the victims of the puppeteer's past murders, but now they have become the puppeteer's subordinates.
The four summoned creatures were all over level 30 in strength and were skilled in martial arts. When they launched their killing moves from all sides, they were no different from living people.
The green-clothed swordsman was not afraid at all. His body was as fast as the wind. He dodged the attacks while slashing at the puppeteer with his sword as fast as the wind.
At the same time, not far away, there were a group of players hiding.
"Brother Feng, are we sure we're not going to go? There are so many of us, we can just kill him in one go."
"That's right. There's no need to talk about the code of conduct with this kind of scum. We can just fight shoulder to shoulder."
Xiao Jie was also somewhat helpless, "Of course I know, but who told Brother Xia to play a one-on-one duel?"
This chivalrous and unparalleled man is also a strange person. He insisted on completing this duel mission alone, saying that only by completing it alone can he get full reputation. He had repeatedly reminded him before that he should never take action unless it is absolutely necessary.
There is no other way, so I can only respect my teammates' choice.
Fortunately, Xia Yi Wushuang's strength has greatly increased since he unlocked the Demon-Slaying Sword, and he is still able to hold his own against five people at this moment.
However, we are outnumbered and outnumbered. If we keep wasting time like this, it won’t be good. I’m afraid my internal energy will run out soon.
Dangdang Dangdang!
The sound of weapons clashing rang out continuously. Xia Yi Wushuang forced back the enemy with a group attack. Four paper puppets surrounded Xia Yi Wushuang, but the puppeteer stood outside the circle with a smug look on his face.
"You see, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't escape from my palm. Just let me make you a puppet and stay with me forever, without suffering from life and death and illness. Isn't that good?"
Xia Yi Wushuang snorted coldly, "A dead man has so many words. I will kill you within three moves."
The puppeteer did not get angry when he heard this, but laughed instead, "Hahahaha, you are so heroic, you deserve to be my slave—kill!"
At the puppeteer's command, the four paper puppets took up their stances at the same time and launched their swift and killing moves with all their might.
The blade cuts the face, the spear pierces the body, the sword pierces the heart, and the axe splits the chest, each move is fatal.
The chivalrous Wushuang held the sword in front of his face, making an incomprehensible gesture.
The secret—the infinite universe!
Brush brush brush brush!
These four killing moves all missed. The chivalrous figure was like a slide, or like the bullet time in The Matrix. Every time he slashed with the sword, he would instantly change into another posture. He easily avoided the attacks of the four paper puppets and instantly returned to his original posture.
Then he moved suddenly.
A sword pointed directly at the puppeteer.
The Demon-Slaying Mental Method - The sword appears without a shadow to suppress evil!
The puppeteer was suddenly shocked, and for an instant he seemed to be enveloped by a mighty force. His mind was shaken so much that his body could not move.
The chivalrous and unhurried two-handed giant sword, and a huge sword shadow, gradually gathered and took shape above the puppeteer's head.
Secret Technique——Aotian Nine-Layer Divine Sword!
boom!
When the smoke cleared, the puppeteer had already surrendered.
Everyone rushed out from their hiding places.
At this moment, the four paper puppets collapsed to the ground like deflated balls.
Xiao Jie was amazed for a moment when he looked at the puppeteer's corpse - Oh my god, he actually succeeded in soloing it!
It seems that my teammates are also growing.
You know, this puppeteer is a level 48 elite monster. Although he is not a BOSS, his level and health are not low. With four bodyguards, he is probably more difficult to fight than an ordinary BOSS of level or so.
It seems that this unparalleled chivalrous hero has really taken off since he unlocked the Demon-Slaying Sword.
"Haha, Brother Xia is awesome." I exclaimed in amazement.
"It's just so-so." Xia Yi Wushuang said modestly, but he couldn't hide the arrogance in his voice.
The Drunken Swordsman could not help but ask, "What skill was that move you used just now? I have never seen it before. Is it the weapon special effect of the Demon Slayer Sword?"
"That's right." Xia Yi Wushuang said, but did not reveal the specific effects of the weapon's special effects.
However, it can freeze a level 48 elite monster in place and make it unable to move, which clearly shows that it is worthy of being a sword left by an immortal.
Xiao Jie judged that the judgment level of this weapon's special effect would probably not be worse than his Yin-Yang Soul-Calming Mirror. Xia Yi Wushuang touched the puppeteer's body at this time.
Xia Yi Wushuang was not secretive and directly posted the dropped items to the team channel.
Because it was just an elite monster, it only dropped three items.
The first one is a mannequin made of paper. It looks lifelike, but it is actually the image of a swordsman.
Paper Puppet: Jianghu Guest (Special Spell/Epic)
Use: Summons a puppet named Jianghu Ke to fight for you (number of uses: 3/3).
Item Description: A special paper figure created by a puppet master using the human soul and the art of spirit painting. It can summon a puppet of the sealed person to fight for it. Each time the paper puppet goes into battle, it will consume soul power, and eventually its soul will scatter and turn into an ordinary paper figure. 】
The second item is a white mask.
【Iron Silver Pen (Judge's Pen/Excellent)
Attack power: 27 stabs.
Equipment Effect 1: Writing Like a God. Your painting, calligraphy, and talisman making levels +1.
Equipment Effect 2: Silver Needle Acupuncture. Fire the silver needle hidden in the Judge's Pen at the enemy, causing 1 point of damage and paralyzing it for 1 second (cooling time 30 seconds).
Item Description: A rare and strange weapon in the martial arts world. It is said that there is an unknown hidden sect in the world that uses pens as weapons and can turn painted objects into reality. It has unpredictable powers. However, most of the legends in the martial arts world are weird and bizarre, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. 】
The third item was a strange thing. It seemed to be a corner of an ancient painting, and one could vaguely see some ink lines depicting mountains and rivers.
【Fragments of Mountain and Sea Painting (garbage)
Item Description: A fragment of an ancient painting, seemingly nothing special. 】
A painting of mountains and seas?
When seeing this thing, Xiao Jie immediately thought of the strange world in the painting that Gu Feiyu entered yesterday. Could this mountain and sea painting world be a similar world?
"Fuck, what kind of crap is this?"
Xia Yi Wushuang was speechless when he saw the things that fell. Apart from the paper puppet which was still somewhat useful, the other two items were of no use.
No one uses unpopular weapons like the Judge's Pen, and it's impossible to sell it even if you want to.
The fragment of the mountain and sea painting world was even more speechless. The attribute of the item was actually [garbage]. If it was a quest item, it would be of some use.
Seeing Xia Yi Wushuang's reaction, Xiao Jie was moved.
"Brother Xia, how about selling me this fragment of the Mountain and Sea Painting Realm?"
"Why, do you know what this thing is used for?"
"I have some guesses, but whether I can figure it out depends on luck."
"It doesn't matter whether it's for sale or not. I'll just give it to you. But if it's really useful, just tell me what it is."
Xia Yi Wushuang didn't waste any time and directly traded it to Xiao Jie.
Xiao Jie didn't refuse either, he was not sure whether he could figure this thing out.
Now that the matter here is settled, Xiao Jie plans to continue with his own work.
"By the way, is there anyone else who needs help with the mission?"
However, no one spoke. It seemed that apart from Haomie's dragon slayer career mission and Anran's monster advancement, there was nothing else that needed help.
"In that case, then everyone go back and continue to prepare, and upgrade your levels and equipment as much as possible. The final battle will probably begin in a few days, and we will need to rely on you then."
"Don't worry, Brother Feng. With our lineup, no BOSS can defeat us."
"That's right, by then the boss's head will be easily captured."
Seeing everyone's high morale, Xiao Jie still reminded them, "Don't be careless. There are always stronger players among the strong. There are still many masters in this game. It will always be helpful to become stronger."
When Xiao Jie said this, he glanced at Ye Luo and Wo Yuchengxian. Both of them had reached level 34. It seemed that they had gained a lot of experience from the three battles yesterday.
Although no one followed him to challenge the world boss yesterday, it was obvious that we achieved considerable results.
"By the way, Chengxian, this is for you." Xiao Jie traded the Dragon Bone Hammer, Star Crusher.
"Oh my god, Brother Feng, this, this, this..." I was shocked when I saw the weapon appearing in the trading column. This is a legendary weapon.
Even the president of a big guild might not be able to lift this thing.
Just give it to yourself like this?
Xiao Jie said calmly, "If I tell you to take it, then take it. We will need your help when the time comes. Among all of us, only you can use this thing. Who else can I give it to?"
Just like swords can be used interchangeably, heavy weapons such as hammers and axes can also be used interchangeably.
"Why are you so excited about becoming an immortal? What good things did Brother Feng give you?" Drunken Swordsman couldn't help but ask.
When I wanted to become an immortal and equip people with weapons, everyone was stunned.
He even gave away orange weapons. This was really amazing, Brother Feng. Everyone was shocked and full of envy.
The Drunken Swordsman even shouted, "Brother Feng is awesome, this is an orange weapon, is there a share for us?"
Xiao Jie said angrily: "Damn, do you think orange weapons are cheap? I don't even have a way to use them. This thing was given to me by a man who was good at using virtue, and I can't use it, so I can only give it to Chengxian.
However, there are no orange weapons, but there are other good things. By the way, who among you knows the master-level planting technique?"
"I will." Bai Ze said immediately.
When Bai Ze was building up his reputation in Xuanxu Palace, he did a lot of work growing spiritual herbs, so his planting skills successfully reached the master level.
"Okay, follow me later, I'll get something good for everyone."
Xiao Jie planned to plant the primitive seed today.
As for where to go, he already has a destination, which is Xuanming Mountain in Canglin Prefecture.
Xuanming Mountain, like Konglao Mountain, is also a place of practice for ancient Qigong practitioners and usually has a thin residual spiritual energy.
In fact, Konglao Mountain is relatively more suitable, but unfortunately, there is a Red Dust Immortal in that mountain, and he cannot be allowed to see anything happening with this tree.
Everyone was looking forward to the good things that Xiao Jie mentioned.
However, Xiao Jie was not sure what he could grow, so he did not say too much.
It just so happened that An Ran was going to Canglin Province to find monsters to help her evolve, so the three of them set off together.
Two of the three people turned into flying birds, and one flew on a sword, flying all the way towards Canglin Prefecture.
