Chapter 48 - 48 Kill
48 Kill
The moment the fog spread, the two bounty hunters covered their mouths and noses at the same time. They were worried that this fog was poisonous.
Until the fog completely spread did they realize that the effect of this fog was mainly to block their vision. Being in this fog and having one’s vision completely blocked was already a terrifying thing. Coupled with the fact that the ground was constantly softening and turning into a swamp.
This made the expressions of the two ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level bounty hunters change. They felt that the situation was not good.
If not for the fog, they would definitely choose to evacuate this area that was gradually turning into a swamp immediately. However, in this fog, they did not dare to act rashly. Because at this moment, they could not see the enemy at all and did not know the exact location of the enemy.
If they acted rashly at this moment, it was very likely that the enemy would have an opportunity. That way, the danger would be even greater. The best way was to stay where they were. It was to prevent all sneak attacks.
However, once they stayed in place and did not move, their bodies would continue to sink into the swamp.
This put the two bounty hunters in a dilemma. They felt that no matter what they did, the situation would be very disadvantageous. It was only for a short while but the swamp below had already drowned their ankles.
“This can’t go on!” Luo Fangyi realized that he could not stay in this swamp anymore. He had the thought of escaping this swamp first.
But when he was about to take action, there was a sound of air breaking. Swoosh! A dagger was suddenly thrown from behind him.
Luo Fangyi immediately turned around and punched, shattering the entire dagger. This was just an ordinary dagger. It was not a Martial Entry-Level weapon. It could not pose a threat to him. However, this caused Luo Fangyi to become vigilant. Just as he was about to take action, the other party immediately attacked.
This immediately made him not dare to move again. He was constantly paying attention to the surroundings and was extremely vigilant. It was the same for the other bounty hunter. They were worried that they would be attacked at any time. They did not dare to act rashly.
“As expected, the fog and the swamp formation will have a huge effect!”
At this moment, Xiao Shi was not far from the two bounty hunters. Although he could only see things within half a meter under the fog, he could clearly grasp their movements with the blood and qi mark he left on them .
This was also the main reason why he did not detonate the blood qi marks during his previous attack. And now, he did not need to be in a hurry to attack the two of them.
He was waiting.
He was waiting for their bodies to slowly sink.
As long as they sank to the point where they could not move and could not turn around, it would be the best time for him to attack.
Now, Xiao Shi only needed to pay attention to their every move.
Once they had the thought of escaping the swamp, he would use long-range attacks to threaten the two bounty hunters so that they would not dare to act rashly. They could only stay in place and defend passively.
The fog was not poisonous, and it did not have any lethality. However, it could turn people into frightened birds. They did not dare to act rashly in it.
This could form a perfect combination with the [Swamp Array].
Gradually, the two bounty hunters had already sunk to their calves. They began to feel anxious. Especially when they realized that this swamp was extremely sticky. They all had the thought of escaping this swamp even if they had to take the risk.
At first, they thought that the fog was the other party’s killing move and that the swamp under their feet was just a distraction.
They thought that this swamp would only make it a little difficult for them to move, while the fog was the biggest obstacle. However, as they continued to sink, they realized that it was difficult to pull out their feet even if they used all their strength. It was then that they realized that they made a mistake!
The fog was the interference!
The swamp under their feet was the greatest threat.
“Dammit! What kind of swamp is this!!”
Their expressions changed drastically at the same time. They tried their best to pull their feet out.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
After sinking to this extent, they could no longer easily pull their feet out. Furthermore, after Xiao Shi saw the two of them move, he immediately threw out a large number of weapons and launched a long-range attack.
As a result, they had no chance to pull out their feet that had fallen into the swamp. They could only sink deeper and deeper. And as they struggled, the speed at which they sank became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, it had already sunk to their thighs.
At this moment, although they could still turn around, their legs were completely fixed to the ground.
Just like Zhuo Fu back then.
But the difference was that Xiao Shi did not choose to attack at this moment. He continued to wait. He could attack when Zhuo Fu’s legs were fixed, but he had to wait a little longer to deal with these two bounty hunters.
The two of them sank to their chests and abdomens and could no longer turn around, they could only turn their heads.
Killing intent flashed in Xiao Shi’s eyes. “Do it!” His body moved. Stepping on the swamp under his feet, he arrived behind Luo Fangyi. He raised the long saber in his hand high.
The moment it slashed down, the two marks condensed on the saber erupted at the same time.
One of the marks was condensed from the [Black Ink Stone]. When he killed the first bounty hunter, Xiao Shi had used half of the [Black Ink Stone]. Now, the remaining half had condensed into the mark on the saber.
As for the other mark, it was formed from the Ling Jian Grass.
The eruption of two marks caused Xiao Shi’s slash to be shockingly heavy and terrifyingly sharp. It tore through the air.
It slashed down!
Luo Fangyi could clearly feel the threat coming from behind him. He raised his hands high and shielded his head. All the blood and qi surrounding his body condensed into one, forming the strongest block.
Swoosh!
The long saber slashed at the membrane formed by Luo Fangyi’s blood and qi. The astonishing weight and sharpness of the saber strike was something that even this thick and solid blood and qi membrane could not withstand.
In an instant, countless cracks spread from the membrane. Then, there was a bang. The qi and blood membrane was shattered by a single slash!
The entire saber did not slow down and continued to slash down.
Puff!
Not only did it cut off Luo Fangyi’s hands that were raised to block, it also cut off Luo Fangyi’s head. The blade directly entered his head and cut it in half.
Xiao Shi reached out and grabbed the item that fell out after Luo Fangyi died. He threw it into his storage bag and dragged his long saber as he quickly attacked another bounty hunter. It had been about two minutes since the beginning of the battle. Xiao Shi had to resolve it as soon as possible.
He had to leave early.
This was also the reason why he decisively used the [Black Ink Stone] and [Ling Jian Grass]. If it was just one slash at a time, it would take a lot of time to break through their blood and qi membrane.
After using the [Black Ink Stone] and [Ling Jian Grass], he only needed one slash to break through the blood and qi membrane.
Puff!
When the other bounty hunter was also killed by Xiao Shi, he picked up the items that the other party had dropped and pulled up the array flags on the ground. He turned around and left without hesitation.
...
“This time, I only used the Swamp Formation once and successfully killed two Martial Entry-Level Nines. I made a killing!” Xiao Shi was very excited. He was even looking forward to the items that the two of them dropped.
