At the same time, the poisonous poison spider, which sensed the touch of the spider webs around it, also turned its attention to the familiar prey in front of it. Its huge body stood upright again with the support of its hind legs, and made a threatening attack towards the direction where Tianjihong was stationed, as if it was about to attack the latter. However, when it realized that Tianjihong was only ten feet away from the space barrier behind him, the Demonic Poison Spider still did not fall for the trap easily and chased after him. His actions seemed to be hesitant, and he still lingered in place.
Seeing that this method still didn't work, Tianjihong had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to move forward, moving further away from the barrier behind him. He took no time to continue waving the sharp blade at the poisonous poison spider in a provocative manner, and even The two hidden weapons in the driver's hands continued to launch harassment-like attacks in the direction of the opponent in the distance, trying to continue to provoke the opponent to pursue him in his direction.
It's just that the more urgent Tian Jihong appears, the more alert the opponent in front of him becomes. At this time, the Demonic Poison Spider not only did not chase its opponent in a hurry, but instead calmly fixed its body firmly on the original spider web, and at the same time used the silk threads scattered in all directions to deal with the constant rotation around it. The two hidden weapons tied the latter to the tree branches on both sides. Then it continued to accumulate spiritual power from its abdomen, and tentatively released strings of sticky spider silk into the space barrier to sense the internal situation.
This seemingly stalemate situation is actually very unfavorable for Tianjihong and his wife. At this time, Tianjihong, who was injured, did not dare to approach his opponent easily to launch an attack after his opponent had already laid a dragnet around him. He could only continue to wander around the periphery looking for possible opportunities.
Inside the trap, Wang Qing couldn't move at all. His attempts to continue to strengthen the magic circle to maintain it for a longer time did work, but the biggest problem was that the target poisonous poison spider was not fooled at all, and it kept spraying. Sooner or later, the spider silk spewed out will trigger the space node used as a bait in the barrier. If it triggers the trap in advance but does not fall into the trap, the two of them will really have lost all their efforts.
Just when Tianjihong was extremely anxious and unable to do anything, a vague voice came out of thin air beside him: "Don't panic, you quickly retreat from the barrier; I will force this beast into it later, you Be prepared with Wang Qing to act according to your original plan!"
This sound that came out of thin air almost made the nervous Tian Jihong jump up in fright. You must know that although he dare not say how strong he is, under the training of his father day after day when he was a child, he has been able to control the whole body. The perception of danger is also beyond ordinary people. Not to mention people with the same cultivation level as him, even monks whose strength is one or two realms higher than his own, it is basically impossible to lurk in his ears without him noticing the slightest breath or movement.
Tian Jihong couldn't help but feel chills standing up at the sight of someone appearing behind him unnoticed. Although he had heard that the familiar voice was probably well-intentioned, he still thought that one day such an enemy would quietly appear. Without being noticed behind him, the other party may want to take his life as easily as eating and drinking, and he will have no room for resistance even until his death.
Turning around and looking behind him at the source of the sound, Tianjihong finally saw the figure that had been hiding among the grass for an unknown amount of time. The emerald green cloak he wears is obviously a good treasure, and his appearance can completely blend into the surrounding environment without being noticed. The face exposed under the cloak also made Tianjihong startled - he saw the pale face, but still bright eyes, staring directly at his face.
Seeing Rokakuye under this makeup, a long-buried memory suddenly flashed through Tianjihong's mind. It seemed that he had heard his father mention the origin of the monks in such attire, but when the memory was fleeting, he couldn't. I can't remember clearly. So Tianjihong couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart after all, and subconsciously asked Rokkaeno: "You...how can you lurk so close to me without being noticed? Why can't I feel your breath at all?" "
"Now is not the time to dwell on this. I can only say that I have completely suppressed the fluctuations of spiritual power with my own soul consciousness. Moreover, I have been crouching here for a while to recover. I just saw the encounter between the two of you after they arrived. The poisonous spider, and conspired to set up a trap here, so he didn't show up in a hurry. It wasn't until I saw that you two seemed to be in a deadlock that I had no choice but to help." Rokkakino's tone was as calm and deep as ever, except that The haggard face can still be seen at a glance from the huge consumption when activating the Noble Phantasm to fight against Qianying Ghost. It is obvious that his condition is not very good.
"Use soul consciousness to suppress spiritual power fluctuations?! Wait..." Tianjihong's eyes suddenly lit up. Through Liujiaoye's words, he finally found his father's original teachings from the depths of his memory, "You shouldn't be a [soul hunter] [laughter] right?"
"Oh? You, a young monk who has just started practicing, actually knows about Soul Hunters? Haven't you asked for advice yet?" A look of surprise finally flashed across Rokkakino's simple and calm face. Although he had roughly witnessed the fight between Tianji Hong and the Demonic Poison Spider before, and felt the excellence of this young man whose cultivation level was similar to his own, it was only now that he heard such words that Rokkaeno really began to pay attention to the comparison in front of him. He is still a few years younger.
"That's it! No wonder you can sense the enemy's aura before me, and even before the two girls from the Qingluo Sect... It's no wonder Wang Qing said that you are the leader of the Liujia Clan, but your cultivation is... You only stayed in the Kaiyuan Realm because you joined the Soul Hunters!" Tianjihong suddenly realized at this moment, he finally knew why the six-cornered field in front of him could compete with the ghost Qianying for so long with the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm. .
In his memory, his father once emphatically mentioned the existence of soul hunters in the continent, and his frightened appearance still lingers in Tian Jihong's mind. According to his father, he had seen the power of soul hunters when he was living in the mainland when he was young. Although he did not tell Tianjihong the whole process of that experience because he did not want to expose his true strength, Tianjihong was already able to It can be deduced that most of the soul hunters who can make such a deep impression on Dad have had a head-on confrontation with Dad, and from the solemn look on Dad's face, he must have gone through a hard battle at that time before he was lucky enough to obtain it. won.
Dad had emphatically educated himself on the origins of the Soul Hunters. Soul hunters, like the magicians mentioned by Oni Qianying, are not a specific profession in themselves, but the identity of this group of specific monks has been widely spread by monks across the continent. Later, over time, they were accepted by each other and became For the unified title of one's own profession.
Soul hunters are different from traditional monks in the mainland. One of the most typical ways of distinguishing them is that the monks who are qualified to join the ranks of soul hunters are all people who have extremely high attainments in the practice of soul consciousness. As mentioned before, ordinary monks often have spiritual power cultivation and soul power improvement that complement each other. Only a very small number of people can use special means to forcefully practice soul power while suppressing spiritual power cultivation. The hunter mentioned here The Soul Man is one of these people.
For example, a soul hunter like Rokkaye whose spiritual power does not reach the level of Kaiyuan Realm is likely to have soul power that far exceeds that of an ordinary monk at the Bone Forging Realm or even a higher level. Based on this, another thing that makes soul hunters different from ordinary people is that their sensitivity to soul power is much higher than that of fellow monks.
Regarding this point, the monks who are soul hunters all remain silent, so the secrets have to be repeatedly guessed by other monks across the continent; the most common and convincing conclusion is that soul hunters have no control over soul power. Extraordinary perception is closely related to the method of cultivating soul power. Its assembly skills and the fighting soul condensed by oneself have the effect of improving the detection of soul consciousness.
Tianjihong also understood that as a member of the Soul Hunters, the Liujiao Ye in front of him had a perception ability that surpassed that of a bone-forging monk. He must have condensed a powerful fighting spirit in his body early. Qianying's qualifications to fight. But what he didn't know was that the Rokkaku clan was the inheritance of a family of bows and arrows, and its members had close ties with the soul hunter clan.
Although the Soul Hunters organization was not created by the Rokkaku clan, what is clear in the martial arts world is that the ancestor of the founder of the Rokkaku clan hundreds of years ago was a member of the Soul Hunters; After achieving the supreme status in the martial arts world, he also brought the reputation of the soul hunters to a new level. Moreover, as the previous leader of the Rokkaku clan, Rokkaku Xin was rumored in the martial arts world to have secretly joined the ranks of soul hunters when he was young. According to Wang Qing, Rokkakino, who holds the Huang Jade Order, is the leader of the Rokkaku Xin clan. As a successor, it is not surprising that he also joins them.
The Soul Hunters are a mysterious team on the continent, and their main mission is to perform spying and assassination. The Soul Hunter organization does not take orders from any force, nor is it loyal to any sect. Its composition is somewhat similar to that of a labor union. Apart from organizing unified actions in rare cases, most of its members travel across the continent individually. However, once their identity as a soul hunter is exposed, they often become guests of other forces. In addition, you can also get employment priority in commissions such as spying or assassination.
This is also the reason why the Rokkaku clan has such a close relationship with the Soul Hunter clan. The training techniques passed down by its founders originally focused on fixed-point sniping and assassination archery. In a fair fight, the Rokkaku clan's archery skills may not be able to exert their full power, but once their whereabouts are pinpointed in advance and they can secretly seize the lead and launch a sneak attack, the opponent will often be killed instantly without even having time to react. This coincides with the ideals that soul hunters believe in. Therefore, from generation to generation, many outstanding people in the Rokkaku clan will be favored by the soul hunters and join them.
