"Such a young age, yet so sharp-tongued."
The fog grew denser, the voice epheral and uncertain, even its shadow turned eerie and unpredictable, manifesting in different directions.
"Hmph!"
Li Yan slowly drew out the Soul-breaking Blade and looked all around, mocking without manners, "Aged indeed, but all that remains is tough talk!"
Pfft!
Behind him, Sha Lifei couldn’t help but laugh, "Brother Yan, after all, he’s an elderly predecessor and moreover, he’s close to death. Be a bit more respectful in your words."
Both verbally mocked, yet their eyes were full of caution.
Li Yan activated his Divine Skills; taste and hearing beca chaotic, a plethora of flavors, a multitude of noises, impossible to discern the other’s whereabouts.
Sha Lifei had already aid his firearm, ready to fire at any mont.
However, despite having wonderful thods and firearms, it was futile if they couldn’t hit anyone.
Seeing the mbers of Captain Bureau growing restless behind him, Li Yan quickly ordered in a cold voice, "Nobody move, maintain formation, this is the Qin Dunjia Formation, straying ans death!"
Cheng Baihu was startled and commanded, "Hold!"
At his command, the Captain Bureau mbers swiftly ford a circle in three layers.
The outermost held shields and swords for defense, behind them, gunn raised their long guns, and the remaining experts cautiously held their blades, ready to provide support.
In an instant, the formation turned into a hedgehog.
Seeing this, Li Yan couldn’t help but internally praise.
These n were indeed the elite of the Captain Bureau, skilled not just in combat but primarily in their unshaken calm and trained discipline during battle.
Had they panicked and run scattered now, casualties would have been severe.
Noticing their composure, that voice in the woods seed a bit surprised, "Sowhat interesting, but you are bound to die today, why bother struggling."
During this talk, rustling sounds arose around, like a gentle rain, yet within the Yin Fog, a swarm of snakes attacked, dense and seemingly endless.
"Retreat!"
Lv San suddenly ford a hand seal and shouted loudly.
Hearing that, the swarm of snakes montarily grew restless.
Yet, amidst the fog, a lingering, sorrowful flute sound gathered the snakes again, and then that aged voice sneered, "Not bad, rare to see a junior proficient in the language of beasts and birds."
"Unfortunately, these little creatures were personally raised by , you can’t lead them away..."
"Fire!"
Before finishing, Cheng Baihu suddenly gave the command.
Bang, bang, bang!
The mbers of Captain Bureau imdiately opened fire, with gun smoke rising and fire blasts scattering in all directions.
Although Cheng Baihu was a common man, his response was flawless.
They were trapped in an array, their senses confused, but bullets do not discriminate, and even if they missed, they could interrupt the casting of spells and might even reveal the enemy’s position.
Indeed, that voice quickly vanished, and the swarm, losing control, also beca agitated and scattered.
Snakes are territorial creatures, and different kinds often prey on each other, such as several large Mountain Wind snakes, which opened their mouths wide and began devouring the nearby venomous ones.
But soon, that voice rang out again, "Earning this bounty is truly no easy feat, forcing to exert effort..."
The tone was full of cold anger, losing previous composure.
Swiftly, the mournful flute sound wafted through the thick fog, weeping and wailing, constantly changing positions. anwhile, the originally restless snakes all stopped, rearing up and slowly swaying as if dancing.
From these venomous snakes’ mouths, a faint poisonous fog also arose.
The situation was clear—they intended to kill with poison.
Seeing this, everyone’s heart chilled.
From the old man’s words, it was apparent that the enemy was a reclusive expert from a side door, having accepted a demon’s reward to ambush mainly for Li Yan.
He knew that Li Yan and the others had already arrived, even knowing among the group was Lv San proficient in the language of animals, thus attempting to lure them into a deadly trap using the venomous snakes.
Regrettably, Li Yan, hearing the deceptive words, saw through it.
Seeing the unveiled plan, the enemy directly set up a large array, confident enough to trap them here alone, no wonder daring to accept this job.
Seeing the spreading poison fog, Li Yan naturally wouldn’t just wait to die; he clutched the Divine Tiger Token at his waist, made a spell hand gesture, and chanted in a deep voice, "’Nuogao,’ opening the descendant of King Jia alone, Azure Dragons and direct stars..."
It was the long-unused "Mountain Climbing Skill."
In an instant, a fierce wind arose, scattering the approaching poison fog, but Li Yan still held the hand seal, the fierce wind continuing unabated.
This was a trick he had discovered early on, using the Mountain Climbing Skill to disperse the poison fog, though sowhat exhausting.
"Hmph!"
The old man in the fog coldly huffed, realizing that re words couldn’t disturb their composure; he no longer wasted his words, continuing to cast his spells.
This ti, green ghostly fires rose within the fog, drifting like lanterns, converging towards them.
Just then, Wang Daoxuan, who had been checking the Compass, suddenly spoke softly, "Wuw Position!"
Without hesitation, Sha Lifei adjusted his firearm.
Boom!
A loud noise, like thunder.
The power of the modern firearm needed no explanation; even the forest’s Yin Fog was pierced through, leaving clear trails, and bamboos along the path collapsed and broke.
"Ah—!"
A scream from the woods, and the ghostly fires instantly scattered.
"Excellent techniques!"
Nearby, Cheng Baihu couldn’t help but praise.
He had clearly seen that upon realizing they were the targets, Li Yan both mocked and deployed spells to attract the opponent’s attention.
Whether it was Sha Lifei, Lv San, or Wu Ba, they all protected Wang Daoxuan at the center, allowing him to concentrate on breaking the formation.
If they had opted for a direct confrontation, it certainly also had thods, but this way was undoubtedly the most appropriate, with no losses and minimal cost.
