A black shadow rushed up from the gray aura of death, revealing its true colors. Xiaoxiao suddenly screamed in horror. Tie Shi and the others' expressions also changed greatly, and they urged their mounts to turn around and flee for their lives crazily.

It turned out that there was a strange black bird pouncing out of the Qi of Death. Its head was covered in pale skeleton bones. On the back of the bird sat a man in black clothes and black trousers. His face was pale without the slightest bit of blood. His wooden eyes were as emotionless as the dead face, just like a zombie that had crawled out of a grave just now. The sudden appearance of such a monster in a place like the Dead Soul Ghost Forest made one's hair stand on end.

Tie Shi and the others hadn't escaped far when the Dead Soul Ghost Forest below jumped onto another strange bird and blocked the path of the four of them.

Qi Qin and Liu Liuqiang pulled out their swords and guarded the stone. Only then did they see clearly that the strange bird with the skull turned out to be a grey crane. The head of the grey crane was covered with a ferocious skeleton bone. It looked like it was growing on its neck. On the back of the bird sat a man in black with a dull expression.

"Big brother, he's wearing a human skin mask!" Liu Liu said loudly.

Tie Shi couldn't help but feel a little relieved. As long as the other party was a human, it would be better than a ghost.

"Fellow Daoist, why are you blocking our path?" Tie Shi shouted loudly.

At this moment, the black-clothed eccentric also surrounded Tie Shi and the others, forming a pincer attack.

Clang!

The two eccentric black-clothed men drew out a pitch-black short sword at the same time. The sword blade was glowing with a blue-purple light. It was obvious that it had been tempered with poison.

Tie Shi and the others couldn't help but change their expressions. They poisoned their swords. Only a few killer organizations would do it. If they were targeted by such organizations, unless you killed them all, as long as they could move, a life-threatening sword would forever hang on your head. These killers did not care about any reason, as long as they received a reward, they would kill. They were ruthless, killing people and raising their heads to leave.

Liu Liu's face was ashen as he tightly gripped the greatsword in his hand. Qi Qin's eyes were filled with despair. They knew that there was absolutely no possibility of suffering. Not only was the other party an immortal cultivator, he was also a cold-blooded assassin known for killing people like numbness.

"Big brother, bring Xiaoxiao and leave quickly. We'll defend against them for a while!" Liu Liu's lips buzzed as he said in a trembling voice.

Tie Shi tied Xiaoxiao to his chest with his belt. He pulled out the sword from his back with one hand and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, we have treated each other with all our heart for most of our lives. Even if we die, we will die together. Big Brother will not leave you to escape!"

The two black-clothed assassins were still staring at the three of them with blank eyes. They were not in a hurry to attack. These three physique cultivators were like ants in their eyes, and they could be crushed to death with just a move of their fingers.

"Big brother, don't be stupid. You still have Xiaoxiao to protect!" Qi Qin said in a deep voice.

Tie Shi clenched his teeth and looked down at Xiao Xiao. Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with fear, but she shook her head and said, "Daddy, Xiaoxiao, you are not afraid of death!"

Tie Shi's eyes immediately turned red and he suddenly roared, "Please, brothers!"

"Big brother, you will still be a brother in your next life!" The three of them clashed with each other's swords. Qi Qin and Liu Liu's eyes revealed determination. They exchanged a final glance and charged at the two black-clothed assassins.

Tie Shi knew that Qi Qin and Liu Liu would undoubtedly die. With tears in his eyes, he shouted angrily and drove the grey crane out from the side.

Dang dang pu pu!

Fresh blood splashed everywhere as they met. The ordinary swords in Qi Qin's and Liu Liu Liu's hands were cut off by each other, and their heads were splashed with boiling blood.

Tie Shi turned around and saw the headless corpses of Qi Qin and Liu Liu tumbling down from their mounts. His eyes couldn't help but tear open as he raised his head and let out a wild beast-like roar, "Brother, you guys go first. As long as Big Brother is still alive, I swear to avenge you!"

The grey crane beneath the seat was stabbed by Tie Shi's sword. Under the pain, it crazily flapped its wings. The two black-clothed assassins easily killed Qi Qin and Liu Liu. They bent over and leaned against the back of the mount. The well-trained mount immediately accelerated to chase after Tie Shi, and its speed was obviously much faster!

Tie Shi's mind was filled with the scene of two brothers throwing their heads away. His chest was filled with killing intent. His eyes were bloodshot. He turned around and saw two killers chasing after him. It was only a matter of time before he could catch up with him with that speed. He gritted his teeth and hugged Xiaoxiao with one hand. He apologetically said, "Xiaoxiao, daddy can't protect you anymore. I'm sorry!"

"Daddy, don't!" At this moment, the little fellow's face was already full of tears, and his small hand was tightly grabbing onto Tie Shi's clothes.

Tie Shi gritted his teeth and urged the grey crane to rush towards the Death Soul Ghost Lin below. He immediately rushed into the hazy death aura. When he saw the treetop, Tie Shi pulled the small belt and lifted Xiao Xiao away from his chest. Xiaoxiao seemed to know what Daddy was going to do, and she struggled and cried loudly, "Daddy, don't, don't leave Xiaoxiao!"

"Xiaoxiao, stay alive and find your brother Chu Jun !" As he said that, he let go of his grip and fell onto the dense branches below.

"Daddy!" The small voice continued to fade away.

Back then, he had picked her up outside the Dead Soul Ghost Forest, but now he had personally thrown her back here. Tie Shi knew that the hope that this poor little fellow could survive was extremely vague, but it was better than not having any hope. Tie Shi gritted his teeth and pulled the grisly crane up with his sword in one hand. At this time, he could already hear the flapping of the wings of the two killer mounts.

"Brother, big brother will avenge you!" Tie Shi shouted and the sword in his hand fiercely slashed towards an assassin who appeared in his line of sight.

The killer's wooden face quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, and a bluish blade flashed past.

Chi! Tie Shi felt his hand lighten. Only half of the greatsword was left in his hand. Immediately after, his arm cooled down. The remaining half of his left arm separated shoulder-to-shoulder. Before the mount could let out a miserable scream, half of his head was cut off. Tie Shi quickly fell downwards.

"Brother, big brother is here. Don't walk too fast!" Tie Shi only felt the sound of a whistle coming from his ears. Half of his body was numb. He knew that this was a poison invading his body.

… dividing line

Chu Jun held the Profound Iron Sword in his hand, releasing his divine sense to its limit. He circulated his earforce to listen to the movements in the surroundings, carefully advancing the search.

The Dead Soul Ghost Forest was filled with a deathly aura all year round. Even in broad daylight, the sun could not completely shine into the forest. Moreover, it was already dusk. The forest was pitch black, and the visibility was less than ten meters. The atmosphere was extremely gloomy and terrifying.

At this time, the special training Chu Jun had received in his previous life had worked. Although he was anxious, he was still able to maintain his clarity of mind. He bent down to conceal his body as much as possible and moved slowly and gently. He would skillfully bypass any place where he might be hiding his enemies and occupy an advantageous position.

Right at this moment, the sound of withered leaves being stepped on suddenly came from the front. Although it was very light, Chu Jun 's sensitive ears still heard it. He hurriedly bent down and stared at the place where the sound came from. He bent his waist and bowed his legs, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

At this moment, the rustling sound suddenly accelerated and ran towards Chu Jun . Chu Jun 's nerves couldn't help but tighten. Under the influence of the Qi, his legs suddenly jumped up and quickly pounced into the fog of death energy like lightning. The black iron flying sword in his hand swung down like a shocking rainbow.

"Ah!" A shocked exclamation rang out.

Chu Jun cried out in his heart. He hastily withdrew his sword power, but even so, he still collided with the person who came and both fell to the ground.

"Chu Jun, it's you!" Originally, Ning Yun was so scared that his face turned pale. He noticed that it was actually Chu Jun who was pressing down on him. He was immediately embarrassed and angry. He had already let this fellow press down three times, three times! ! !

Chu Jun quickly got up and took the opportunity to pull Ning Yun up. He frowned and said, "Why are you here? What about Senior Sister Zhao and the others?"

"We're separated … You bastard, it hurts!" Ning Yun rubbed his chest, which was hurt by Chu Jun 's collision, and scolded in a low voice.

Chu Jun couldn't help but sweat and said in a deep voice, "How did you get separated?"

Ning Yun said angrily, " Chu Jun , I feel so painful. Do you know? Just ask!"

Chu Jun couldn't help but have a black line all over his head. He pulled Ning Yun behind a rock and cursed softly, "Young miss, if you keep shouting, all sorts of ghosts will be called over by you!"

Ning Yun resentfully pulled back his hand and whispered, "What about you bumping into me? Forget about the last time you hit me … me!"

Chu Jun scanned his surroundings alertly and pricked up his ears to listen to the commotion around him. Just now, Ning Yun had shouted loudly. If there really were enemies, they would sneak over secretly.

Seeing that Chu Jun had turned a deaf ear to him, Ning Yun couldn't help but be enraged. He opened his mouth and shouted, "Chu …!" However, before he could shout out the first word, Chu Jun covered his mouth.

Ning Yun was shocked, desperately trying to break free, but he was instantly shocked silent by Chu Jun's sharp gaze as he stared in front of him. Chu Jun gave a warning look before slowly letting go of his hand. He lay on the stone and didn't know what he was listening to. Ning Yun hatefully glared at Chu Jun's arched butt. Suddenly, he wanted to slap down, but he didn't have the courage. He could only bite the air and hit a few times. He thought to himself, "Swollen your second face!"

Seeing Chu Jun lying motionless on the stone for a long time, Ning Yun couldn't help but curiously learn to put his ears close to the stone. However, he didn't hear anything, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

The two of them were so close to each other that Ning Yun could even feel Chu Jun 's breath spraying on his face. His face couldn't help but turn red and hurriedly turned around to spit two mouthfuls. Chu Jun 's sword-like eyebrows did not frown as he cursed softly, "Can you be a little quieter?"

Ning Yun stuck out his tongue embarrassedly and whispered into Chu Jun 's ear, "What did you hear?"

The warm aura sprayed into his ears, causing Chu Jun to feel itchy. He couldn't help but ask speechlessly, "Can you leave?"

Ning Yun couldn't help but be secretly annoyed as he sat to the side in a sullen manner.

"Aren't you with Little Treasure and Senior Sister Zhao ?" Chu Jun asked in a low voice.

Ning Yun glared at Chu Jun with his big eyes and whispered, "They were originally together, but they disappeared as they walked!"

Come on, Chu Jun knew that he didn't need to rely on this crazy big sister! However, even Ning Yun was fine, so Zhao Yu shouldn't be in danger!

At this moment, a low groan drifted over from afar. Ning Yun immediately jumped up like he was trampled on his tail. He leaned against Chu Jun and leaned down. He asked vigilantly, "Who is calling?"

At this moment, the faint groan sounded again, as if it was a woman's voice. Chu Jun bowed and stood up, instructing, "Stay here, I'll go take a look!"
