Chapter 1259: Chapter 1245: Three-Person Squad
When it comes to quick ways to get leaves on the trees.
Apart from hunting others, being hunted oneself is also an excellent method.
When being hunted, the pursuer should also have a certain number of leaves on them. After all, to dare to hunt him, their strength must be greater than Fire Spear Guan Fei’s.
Otherwise.
Wouldn’t they just be here to serve themselves up?
Upon hearing Baiyu say this, Man Ling was almost scared to death, with some hesitation on her face she said, "Is this really the right way? Why don’t we fight strategically, battling and retreating while picking off the pursuers one by one?"
Given Man Ling’s personality.
She naturally wouldn’t want to fight head-on, and her strength wouldn’t allow it either. Up till now, she was still standing by Baiyu’s side without anyone fleeing at the first sign of danger, which slightly surprised Baiyu.
Based on this fellow’s cowardice and reluctance to die.
She should have taken the opportunity to slip away.
Unexpectedly, there was a side of loyalty.
"You’re right, we indeed need to lie low for now, otherwise you probably won’t make it through tonight.
So.
It’s better if you hide first.
Leave the rest to me. Even if I can’t handle it, at least it will be easier for one to escape under less pressure."
Baiyu said with a smile.
Man Ling hesitated for a moment, but after Baiyu urged her several times, she gritted her teeth and left.
If she stayed any longer.
She’d indeed be a hindrance.
"Here’s my contact method. If you need help or are in trouble, you can always blow this. I...I’ll come to rescue you."
Man Ling gritted her teeth as she pulled out a small conch from her bosom.
She clearly had made a significant decision.
Baiyu took the little conch from Man Ling’s hand and put it in his pocket, allowing him to leave at will.
Man Ling didn’t hesitate either.
Her figure quickly disappeared, not leaving any trace, clearly an expert at escaping.
Baiyu retracted his gaze.
After collecting seven leaves, he still had to head to the exit of this forest. Man Ling had previously mentioned the location of the exit. Now that Baiyu was being hunted, he had nothing else to do, so he simply headed toward the exit.
The environment inside the forest was much the same.
After about an hour of walking, Baiyu suddenly stopped in front of a swamp, furrowing his brows, scanning the surroundings with his gaze.
He walked forward without a sound.
Suddenly.
Just as he was about to step into the swamp, his pace paused, ahead a giant beast leaped out from within the swamp with its jaws wide open, almost swallowing Baiyu whole.
After the giant beast missed its bite.
A gunshot sound suddenly came from a nearby tree.
BANG!
The bullet shot out, slicing through the air, charging toward Baiyu’s head. Ordinary bullets posed no threat to Baiyu, but his spirituality warned him about this one.
Baiyu wanted to move at high speed to dodge the bullet’s attack.
But he found.
He now seemed bound by invisible chains, unable to escape the bullet’s lock. This should be the special ability of the shooter.
"Really troublesome."
Baiyu furrowed his brows, a layer of golden skin suddenly covered his body, akin to steel, displaying immense defensive capability.
CLANG!
The bullet hit squarely on his chest.
But it only made a shallow dent on Baiyu’s golden-transformed body, which was soon locked in place by powerful muscles, unable to penetrate further.
BANG.
The bullet casing bounced onto the ground.
He locked eyes on the figure on the tree trunk but before taking action, another figure leaped from the swamp behind.
"Friend, your opponent is me!"
The man bound with a scarf, wielding a long spear, thrust it toward Baiyu’s back with the momentum of a dragon and tiger’s roar.
Baiyu sidestepped swiftly.
He raised the Black Moon Blade in his hand, using the edge to deflect the spearhead, making a clanging sound.
Baiyu felt like being hit by a mud truck.
Typically speaking.
Spearmen aren’t very strong, spears favor agility.
But this person.
Possessed incredible strength.
Chances are, his speed might be even more terrifying.
As these thoughts flashed in his mind like lightning, Baiyu’s Moon Blade flickered, Blood Qi burst, swinging a slash behind him.
CRACK.
Precisely where the blade and spearhead collided.
"What keen perception, indeed capable of killing Fire Spear Guan Fei, your strength isn’t weak after all."
A trace of a smile appeared on the man’s face, he flicked the spear.
The spear shaft bent.
Using the recoil, he instantly bounced away.
He seized the opportunity to recover his strength and Blood Qi, pressing down the turbulent qi within his body.
But Baiyu received no chance to rest.
Because the sniper in hiding had aimed at him again, and this shot’s power far exceeded that of the probing attack from before.
Although only one person was visible.
Baiyu was actually battling a team, not like the ramshackle group formed by him and Man Ling, but a closely-knit, well-trained team.
One strong in frontal assault.
One lurking to snipe secretly.
Another person likely controlling the gigantic beast within the swamp, waiting for the opportunity for a deadly strike on Baiyu.
So in reality.
While Baiyu faced one person, the pressure he bore came from three.
Three Eclipse Moon Realms.
Closely coordinated, not easily dealt with.
Just then, a gunshot echoed in the dense forest again, the bullet pierced through countless trees, immediately reaching Baiyu’s back.
At this moment.
A dense black aura suddenly surged around Baiyu.
The darkness spread unceasingly, and the bullet penetrating it didn’t even cause a ripple.
For an instant.
The darkness surged like a tide, directly enveloping the armed man in front of Baiyu.
No matter how fast the opponent was.
He couldn’t escape the enveloping Black Moon Realm.
This was power at the level of rules, simply relying on speed couldn’t get one out.
This is why Baiyu didn’t fear group assaults, or being surrounded.
Black Moon Death Struggle.
It could provide him an opportunity to take them down one by one.
Within the Death Struggle Realm.
The spearman furrowed his brows, watching the man in the darkness ahead. The surrounding scenery hadn’t changed, but black gas continuously emanated from the ground, rising to the sky.
The whole space was utterly silent.
As if.
Cut off from the world.
The spearman took a deep breath, gripping the spear tightly in his hands, speaking in a low voice, "I am Zhang Chao of the Thousand Cranes Sect."
"You can call me Geman."
Baiyu flexed his arms, slowly lifting the Black Moon Blade, his gaze fixed firmly ahead: "You should be just one step away from reaching the Moon Devouring Realm."
The Eclipse Moon Realm has only two small realms.
Whether it’s the Waxing Crescent Moon, Waning Crescent Moon, or Flawless Moon, they all belong to the same level, just different focuses in cultivation.
However, the next stage after these three realms.
Is the Moon Devouring Tier.
The gap between the two stages is not a mere small increment.
