Chapter 1311: Miserable Suffering
"Humph! You want to kill me at this level? Although you predicted my actions, but..." Lu Yun's speed suddenly increased: "But, I predicted your prediction!"
"There!"
From the corner of his eye, Lu Yun saw a figure in the darkness, running away at a very fast speed.
"You want to run away after I found you? Dream on!"
Hei Hu stopped playing the piano, took out his ghost-head knife and chased in the direction of Lu Yun. The two of them, one in front and one behind, quickly approached the enemy.
The figure was moving at an extremely fast speed, and even Lu Yun, who was in the middle stage of the Earth Spirit Realm, was unable to close the distance between the two of them.
Just when he was about to activate the imperial energy, he suddenly saw the man pause, and a familiar figure blocked his way.
"That is..." Lu Yun paused.
"It's Shunying!" Black Tiger surpassed Lu Yun in an instant.
Lu Yun remembered that the man was the only guard left.
This man was not tall and did not say a word along the way, but Lu Yun discovered that this boy was extraordinary. Whenever something happened, he always occupied the most advantageous position.
Whether attacking or fleeing, no one can replace him.
Now he helped him and Black Tiger to stop the sneak attack, which made Lu Yun very frightened.
In just a few jumps, he came behind the attacker, stopped him in an instant, and fought him on equal terms.
"Good job!"
Then he heard Hei Hu praise him and joined the battle with a ghost-head knife in hand.
Lu Yun simply stood aside and watched the fight without intervening.
The attacker held a strange bow in one hand. It was not big, only about an arm's length, but he could not see through its material.
The whole bow emits a faint blue light, and it is obvious that it is not an ordinary item.
Looking at the man who was attacking, he was tall and slender, wearing a grey tights, holding a short dagger in his other hand, and was fighting two enemies alone.
However, his situation was not good. Hei Hu's ghost-head knife was dancing vigorously, and bursts of knife light enveloped the man.
Unless someone comes to rescue him, he will be killed by the black tiger in no time.
The man had a stern expression, without any fear at all, and even stole a glance at Lu Yun standing beside him.
Lu Yun became alert instantly and looked around, but did not see anyone else.
The attacker made a feint towards Shunying and then kicked Heihu.
Hei Hu used the back of his knife to block his attack, but unexpectedly, the man used the force to escape.
There was no way Lu Yun would give him a chance. He had already figured out the man's intention and stopped him in two moves.
"Still want to leave? Okay, hand over your invitation!" Lu Yun said coldly.
The attacker looked at Lu Yun and did not answer. Instead, he took out a small ball and threw it directly to the ground.
"Oh!"
The ball exploded and a puff of smoke came out.
"Are you stupid, kid? This thing can summon teammates? Watch out for the knife!" Hei Hu raised his knife and chopped, but was stopped by Shunying.
"Your Excellency the Commander, you can't do that!"
"Why are you stopping me?" Hei Hu asked angrily.
"Look at him!" Shunying pointed at the person who attacked him.
Lu Yun saw that the attacker's body had melted into the thick smoke, while his figure gradually faded and finally disappeared, leaving only a pile of clothes.
"What kind of magic is this? It's so magical!" Black Tiger stepped forward to check it out.
He used a knife to lift up the man's clothes, and two invitations fell out.
One yellow and one red.
Hei Hu reached out to pick it up.
"Don't move!" Lu Yun grabbed his arm: "Be careful, there might be a scam!"
The black shadow took a step back and looked at Lu Yun in confusion.
Lu Yun picked up the two invitations and sniffed them.
"No poison? Weird!" Lu Yun said to himself, "Could it be that he just wanted to escape?"
When I opened the yellow invitation, I saw the words "Shenjian Valley" written on it.
Another red invitation card had "Hidden Mist Sect" written on it.
"Brother Lu, now all we need is an invitation to go directly to the Holy Mountain!" Hei Hu laughed excitedly.
Putting away the two invitations, Lu Yun looked around.
The surroundings were still silent, visibility was getting lower and lower, and in the distance, the roars of ferocious beasts could be heard faintly.
"We can't stay here for long, let's go!"
The three of them hurriedly ran into the depths of the dense forest.
Not long after they left, a figure reappeared here. Looking closely, it was the person who had just attacked.
He was naked, but his left hand was holding a blue bow and the other hand was tightly holding two invitations.
He glanced at the clothes on the ground and then snorted coldly.
The above instantly covered his body, and he turned and left.
……
Lu Yun and his two companions traveled at full speed. As they continued to go deeper into the dense forest, the sounds of shouting and killing from the surroundings gradually increased.
Hei Hu suggested that they follow the example of others and fight for the last invitation from other forces. However, after observing several waves of battles, he gave up the idea.
Anyone who can get here is very strong, but Lu Yun only has three people. Whether they rob or use wits, their chances of winning are slim.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Brother Lu, what do you think we can do? We don't have much distance left!" Heihu said anxiously.
Lu Yun was also anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't bet the four invitations and the lives of three people for the sake of an invitation.
"Commander, I have a suggestion. I wonder if..."
"Fuck away!"
Hei Hu said anxiously.
"How about we play the victim?" Shunying suggested.
"Playing the victim?" Hei Hu was startled. "How to play the victim? Look at my big and strong appearance. Do I look like someone who plays the victim?"
"This..." Shunying lowered his head in embarrassment.
It was Lu Yun who smiled.
And laughed very loudly.
"Hey! Brother Lu, what are you laughing at? Is it funny?" Hei Hu was puzzled and spread his hands.
"Hahahahaha!"
After he said this, Lu Yun laughed even louder.
Hei Hu looked helpless, not understanding what Lu Yun was laughing at.
After a while, Lu Yun stopped laughing.
"Brother Black Tiger, Shunying's plan is actually quite good." Lu Yun explained, "We can't defeat them with so many people, and we probably can't outsmart them with our wits. This trick of playing the victim is really feasible!"
"Is it okay? How's the difference between this and outsmarting others? In the end you still have to use a knife?" Hei Hu shook the ghost-head knife in his hand.
"You're right, but this is also going against the grain." Lu Yun pulled the two of them to his side and whispered to himself for a while.
"I dare not do this! Whoever wants to do it can do it!" Hei Hu walked to the side angrily and sat under a huge tree.
"Brother Black Tiger, Miss Sheng Xue has already entered the Holy Mountain. If we don't go, I'm afraid... it's not right, right?"
"That's natural."
"So, this hard job has to be done by Brother Black Tiger. I will ask Miss Sheng Xue to give you credit for it when the time comes! How do you think?"
Hei Hu thought for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Okay, but let's be frank. You can ask for credit, but you must not tell anyone about what happened today, otherwise I, Black Tiger, will be too ashamed to face anyone in the future!"
"A word is settled!"
