black coffin forest
After Wan Chaoyang left, Zhuang Xiuyu slowly walked to the trees dropped by the assassins. She observed the trees carefully and found that they were no different from ordinary trees.
But when she turned to the front, she was surprised to find that the trees were all hollow?
"The surface is intact, but the inside is hollow?"
Zhuang Xiuyu frowned, and she slowly looked at the other trees that had fallen to the ground, and found that they were all hollow.
An ominous premonition surged into her heart, and fear instantly filled her brain.
Her eyes were red, her whole body seemed to have lost strength, and she fell limply to the ground.
She sat on the ground, looking at the hollow trees, shaking her head desperately, her lips trembling
"No way, it can't be like this."
She kept backing up until her back rested against a tree, her body trembling as if she'd been electrocuted.
She slowly looked back and saw that the tree had dense branches. Her eyes moved down until she saw the roots covered by weeds. She stretched out her hands tremblingly to push away the weeds.
At this moment, the crazy idea that had just entered her mind was about to be verified.
She plucked up the courage and continued to look down, only to see the weeds being slowly peeled away, and a clear thin line could be seen very clearly.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled and murmured
"Black Coffin Forest...Black Coffin Forest..."
But she saw that at the root of the tree, as she expected, there was a clear cut that had been cut by someone with a sharp blade, and then someone reinstalled the severed tree body, creating this clearly visible severing line.
She ran wildly into the forest, lying under every tree like a madman, constantly searching.
She ran for a whole hour, but she still refused to give up, even though her delicate face was already crying, even though the shoes on her feet were worn out.
In the end, she stood in the forest, looking around. A huge and terrifying sense of depression kept rising in her heart. She was desperate, and she collapsed on the ground.
After a long time, she stood up again. She walked helplessly back to the tree stumps. Looking at the tree stumps lying on the ground not far away, she bit her lower lip unwillingly and ran to the trees again.
She picked up a tree with all her strength. Although the tree body had been hollowed out, it still had some weight. She could only drag the tree body slowly.
After dragging for a while, she stopped to rest for a while. It took her two quarters of an hour to drag the tree to the middle of the stump.
Then, she put down the tree body and ran between the tree stumps, carefully comparing the incisions of those tree stumps with the incisions of the tree body to see if there was any match.
Sure enough, she found a tree stump with an incision that looked very consistent with the tree body.
She ran back and lifted the tree body. She put the bottom of the tree body on the stump, then ran to the other end and slowly raised the tree body.
She was not tall enough, so she could only lift the tree body at a certain angle, but when she lifted it halfway, she could already see that the bottom of the tree body fit the stump very well. She was already convinced that the tree body came from here. beheaded.
"boom!"
She weakly shook off the tree and hit the ground hard, raising a cloud of dust.
She looked at the forest. Although she had found the answer under those trees, when she confirmed all this, she still could not accept the reality.
She ran for an hour, only to find that every tree she saw had been cut down and reattached.
She smiled miserably and said to herself sadly
"Black Coffin Forest, Black Coffin Forest, I just wanted to ask why there are no coffins. It turns out that these hollow trees are coffins."
At this moment, she is not so much in the forest as in the endless sea of coffins. No wonder there is always a cold wind in this forest.
Using such a cruel method, people were buried in every tree. There was a coffin in front of her, a coffin behind her, and coffins on her left and right. In the forest, there was a strong wind, as if countless innocent souls were moaning in Zhuang Xiuyu's ears, miserable. Shout, shout!
Not long after, Wan Chaoyang, dressed in white clothes stained with blood, landed in front of Zhuang Xiuyu.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Wan Chaoyang looked at Zhuang Xiuyu in surprise and asked.
Zhuang Xiuyu raised his head when he heard the sound, saw Wan Chaoyang, said "Wow", broke down and cried.
Wan Chaoyang was at a loss by this. He was only a young man in his twenties. He had never seen such a battle before, and he had no idea what Zhuang Xiuyu had just experienced. He could only stand aside and watch her.
After a long time, Zhuang Xiuyu's crying gradually stopped. She wiped her tears and said with a smile.
"I'm much better."
Wan Chaoyang asked
"What happened."
Zhuang Xiuyu told Wan Chaoyang her speculation, and Wan Chaoyang's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Click!"
The long sword instantly cut off a tree not far away. The tree fell down in response. A cold chill penetrated the bones. The severed part of the tree revealed white bones.
Wan Chaoyang's eyes burst out with a sharp and fierce light, his face was gloomy, and Zhuang Xiuyu beside him asked again
"Brother Wan, follow them and have you found the den of those people?"
Wan Chaoyang said coldly
"Found them, I'll kill them all!"
Then his conversation changed
"But the man in black still hasn't been found."
Zhuang Xiuyu said
"That man is very skilled in martial arts. I think he might be from the villa."
Wan Chaoyang nodded slightly and said
"In this case, you go back to the villa first, and you will be protected by the Chu family. I hope the man in black will not dare to attack you openly."
Zhuang Xiuyu said
"What about you, Brother Wan?"
Wan Chaoyang Road
"The man in black will definitely come again, I will just wait here."
Zhuang Xiuyu nodded and said
"Brother Nawan, be careful."
Then, she ran out quickly.
At this time, Chu's Villa
Chu Yuchao was sitting in the yard with a calm expression, and there were footsteps behind him.
Butler Chu Ping walked behind him and bowed.
"Miss Zhuang went to the Black Coffin Forest."
Chu Yuchao glanced at him
"How did the investigation go?"
Chu Ping slowly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chu Yuchao
"It's all here."
After Chu Yuchao read the letter, a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he regained his composure.
"Take someone to the Black Coffin Forest and drive that person away."
Chu Yuchao said lightly.
Chu Ping looked hesitant.
"The owner of the village..."
Chu Yuchao suddenly shouted in a low voice
"Go if I tell you to!"
Chu Ping shook his head, sighed, and exited the yard.
Outside the yard, a man was waiting outside. It was the man who slapped Chang An when he first arrived at the villa, Chu Guanyu's cousin, Chu Xiangyue.
When Chu Ping walked out of the yard, Chu Xiangyue grabbed Chu Ping.
"Butler, what did the owner say?"
Chu Ping sighed.
"The owner of the village asked me to send people to drive away the people in the black coffin forest."
Chu Xiangyue raised his eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but recalled that this was outside the village owner's courtyard, so he could only whisper:
"They trespassed into the Black Coffin Forest. Shouldn't they be killed?"
Chu Ping patted Chu Xiangyue on the shoulder.
"Second Young Master, I know you hold a grudge against the Chang Family Master, but now that the Chang Family Master has jumped off the cliff, why do you still target his friends?"
Chu Xiangyue said angrily
"He lost my sister, why can't I take it out on his friend?"
At this time, there were footsteps coming from behind again.
The two of them looked back and saw that it was Chu Yulou slowly approaching.
"Three Owners"
"Third Uncle"
The two of them saluted Chu Yulou.
Chu Yulou, who was small but had a big air, glanced at the two of them, said a faint "hmm", and walked into the courtyard.
An hour later, the bright moon was in the sky, and there was silence in the black coffin forest.
Wan Chaoyang was surrounded by a group of people wearing Chu's Villa clothes in the forest.
Chu Ping walked out and looked calmly at the young man in white clothes stained with blood.
"Master Wan is here, and the Chu family is a bit disappointed. However, the Black Coffin Forest is under the jurisdiction of my Chu family, so I ask Master Wan to leave as soon as possible."
Wan Chaoyang looked around and chuckled.
"This world is so big that anyone can go there, but there are so many restrictions in the Black Coffin Forest."
Chu Ping's etiquette
"Although Wan Daxia has unparalleled martial arts skills, he still has to abide by the rules. If he doesn't abide by the rules, what's the difference between him and the evil heretics on the twelfth floor?"
When Wan Chaoyang heard about the twelfth floor, he felt an unknown fire in his heart. He sneered.
"So what if I don't leave?"
Behind him, Chu Xiangyue said angrily
"Butler, why are you talking nonsense with him? Let's work together to kill this thief here!"
After saying that, he stabbed Nawan Chaoyang with his sword. Chu Ping behind him couldn't stop him. He sighed and said helplessly.
"Cover the second young master."
But around Wan Chaoyang, twenty-three masters of the Kuofu level looked solemn, and twenty-three long swords were clanging, and they followed Chu Xiangyue to attack Wan Chaoyang.
Chu Xiangyue continued to sneer
"Wan Chaoyang, you are a master-level expert. Today, I will let you see my Chu Family Sword Formation, twenty-four."
Wan Chaoyang looked intently and saw twenty-four sword shadows approaching him. He snorted coldly, and the wall of inner strength expanded outside his body.
Twenty-four long swords stopped two feet away from him, and then he moved the sword in his hand.
"Dangdang..."
The sound of metal colliding was endless, and twenty-four long swords were picked apart by him one by one.
However, they saw that the twenty-four people were unhurried. As the long sword in their hands did a backflip in the air, the long sword stabbed Wan Chaoyang's outer air wall again.
There was sweat on Wan Chaoyang's face. No matter how powerful he was, he could not withstand the attacks of twenty-four first-rate masters with only his master-level internal strength.
"Wow!"
In order to save his internal energy, he immediately retracted his internal energy wall, then, with his toes on the ground, he stepped into the air.
Twenty-four long swords were thrown into the air, but Chu Xiangyue had a sneer on her face, showing no signs of surprise.
But they saw the twenty-four long swords suddenly spread out, and then they were all raised toward the sky.
Wan Chaoyang, who was in the air, was shocked. These twenty-four swords sealed all possible locations of his whereabouts.
He kept rolling in the air, but was always locked by the twenty-four swords.
In desperation, he jumped onto a tree, and the next moment, twenty-four rays of silver light flashed towards Wan Chaoyang in the middle, and they actually threw out their swords.
Wan Chaoyang on the tree sneered. If this attack failed, the situation would be reversed. He once again opened the protective air wall and jumped to another tree.
But those swords were supposed to be thrown into the air, but the blades of the swords turned around, as if being caught by something, turned around in the air, and shot towards Wan Chaoyang on the other side again.
Wan Chaoyang had just stood firm, but he was still pierced through the wall of air by twenty-four long swords. The twenty-four long swords had exhausted their power and were about to fall, but were taken back by the twenty-four people. But as those swords fell, they cut off the branches at Wan Chaoyang's feet.
Wan Chaoyang's expression changed and he had no choice but to jump high and land on the ground.
He took a closer look and saw that those swords were tied with thin strings, and the other end was tied to his hand. When used, they were as easy to control as the legendary sword control skills.
Chu Xiangyue continued to sneer.
"Don't think that this is the end, form a formation!"
But they saw twenty-four people standing in one place, and then, twenty-four strange sword moves suddenly came.
Wan Chaoyang was horrified. Although each of them used different moves, the combination was like a whole set of swordsmanship, with each person using one move individually.
However, he saw sword shadows blooming all around. In an instant, twenty-four long swords were thrown into the air and arranged vertically into an extremely long sword shape. Wan Chaoyang was surprised to see that under the twenty-four swords , there is a steady stream of true energy transported to the sword body along the thin line.
Then twenty-four people swung their swords at the same time, and the sword-shaped sword array actually emitted a dazzling light.
"Wow!"
A terrifying sword light burst out from the sword-shaped sword array. Under the moonlight, the terrifying sword light flashed with cold murderous intent and crushed towards Wan Chaoyang.
Wan Chaoyang's complexion changed drastically, and the sword light came towards him. He wanted to avoid it, but found that the twenty-four long swords were flying across the sky, blocking his retreat route.
"boom!"
The sword light exploded where Wan Chaoyang was standing, and smoke billowed. After a while, Wan Chaoyang's figure slowly appeared.
But they saw that his clothes were ragged, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and a terrifying sword mark on his chest was shocking.
He coughed loudly, but saw Chu Xiangyue stabbing him with another sword, trying to kill him.
At the critical moment, a cold light flashed in Wan Chaoyang's eyes, but he saw that with a slight movement of his fingers, he easily clamped Chu Xiangyue's sword. He could not make an inch forward, so he activated his inner strength.
"Snapped!"
Chu Xiangyue's sword unexpectedly broke in response.
Immediately, while everyone was stunned, he took the opportunity to use Qinggong and fled away quickly.
Chu Xiangyue was about to chase, but was stopped by Chu Ping
"The village owner said, just drive them away, there is no need to kill them all."
Chu Xiangyue felt unwilling, but he did not dare to face the master-level master alone, so he had to leave in anger.
But at this moment, a thin sword flashed with dazzling light, and a black shadow unexpectedly ran into the middle of them without anyone noticing. The sword was stained with blood, and two people had their throats cut in the blink of an eye.
"who!"
Chu Ping was furious. There was actually a mantis stalking the cicada and an oriole behind, and they came out to sneak attack when they were exhausted from the battle with Wan Chaoyang!
But they saw that the black shadow hit the target and quickly disappeared into the darkness. Everyone was panicking and looking around.
In the black coffin forest, the wind is strong.
But three black iron flying knives came riding on the wind
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Three more people fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, the masters of the Chu family are nothing more than this."
But they heard a childish voice echoing in the woods. Everyone tried to follow the sound but found nothing.
Chu Ping looked wary and shouted:
"The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, retreat quickly!"
The remaining nineteen masters dispersed and retreated to different directions in the woods.
After a moment, a short black figure slowly walked out of the forest. The thin sword in his hand was still dripping with blood, but his eyes were clear and he was looking coldly into the distance.
"Chang An, I will definitely kill you without a burial place this time."
