Encirclement and Kill in the Wilderness

The woods are so quiet.

As the art of war says, "Do not pursue a desperate enemy, and do not enter a forest." But they had no choice but to go into this forest.

The two exchanged a glance, dismounted together, and Uncle Fu led Xu Yunxin toward the dense forest.

The two fine horses were quite intelligent; they did not leave their owners' side and followed behind them, lagging behind by several dozen steps.

As soon as he entered the dense forest, Xu Yunxin felt a great sense of comfort.

This feeling is like being in a cage for a long time and suddenly breathing in a breath of pure air containing the scent of earth and grass. It's like being in a natural oxygen bar, doing nothing but relaxing and resting.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees around him, as if they wanted to tell him something, and the nearby flowers and plants swayed gently, as if welcoming his arrival.

Xu Yunxin felt as if he had come home. A refreshing and warm atmosphere entered his body with his breath, easily washing away all the fatigue he had accumulated along the way, making him feel refreshed.

He gently touched the tree beside him with his fingers, sensing in his heart the [World Tree Species, Golden Buddha Tree (White)], and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

His perspective suddenly widened as a gentle breeze caressed the branches and leaves, causing the leaves to touch and rub against each other. Fine dust particles floated with the branches and leaves, passing over the leaves before falling to the ground.

Every rustling sound within a ten-foot radius around him flooded his mind, yet he felt no burden whatsoever.

These feelings were both clear and rough. They were clear because they truly perceived a lot of things, but the information they conveyed was extensive, like a child with low intelligence trying to share everything he perceived selflessly with Xu Yunxin.

Although the information conveyed is vague, it is sufficient to reflect the unusual and strange things.

Xu Yunxin can pick out anomalies from this extensive information.

He followed closely behind Uncle Fu forward, and the two continued walking deeper into the area for half an hour. Xu Yunxin had already sensed that above the tree beside them, there was an incongruous energy emanating a chilling aura.

Judging from the sounds carried by the wind, there were also unusual noises to the left, right, and in front.

Xu Yunxin gently tugged at Uncle Fu's sleeve, causing Uncle Fu to slow his pace slightly. In that instant, a sneer came from above their heads.

He spotted the enemy, and the enemy was also observing them!

"Let's do it!"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

The order had barely been given when several arrows gleaming coldly shot down from the left and right sides!

"Phew~"

As if performing a magic trick, Uncle Fu produced a long banner, and with a gentle wave, a fierce wind suddenly swirled around the two of them, attempting to sweep away the incoming arrows.

As Uncle Fu made his move, Xu Yunxin also raised his hand and activated the golden talisman hidden in his palm, a layer of light protecting him.

In the blink of an eye, a fierce wind howled around him, and the eight arrows that shot towards him suddenly shone with a layer of silver light. The wooden arrow shafts turned as if they were pure silver, but their speed was three times faster, and they also created a sharp whistling sound!

With this silver light surrounding them, the fierce wind only managed to sweep away six of the arrows, while the remaining two arrows pierced through the wind barrier and still shot towards the two men!

The arrow struck in an instant, its sharp, cold light almost grazing Uncle Fu's skin!

Despite the danger, Uncle Fu remained calm and swiftly flipped the long banner in his hand, tapping it twice with incredible speed.

With two crisp "crack" sounds, the two arrows broke in the middle, the silver light on the arrows disappeared, and they fell to the ground like rotten wood.

"Hey, you've got some skill, using Silver Light Arrows to deal with an old man like me!"

Uncle Fu ignored the direction from which the arrows came, instead staring intently upwards, and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Xu Yunxin also looked up and immediately spotted the figure hiding among the branches.

"Huh? You can see me?"

The figure in the branches, realizing its tracks had been discovered, stopped hiding and took two steps forward, stepping on the thorny branches, looking down at Xu Yunxin with great interest.

The person was positioned perfectly, blocking the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the branches and leaves overhead, making him appear like a dark cloud that obscured the sky.

"What a show-off."

This person is still standing on tree branches and cannot ride the wind, so he is still in the Qi Refining stage.

Xu Yunxin raised an eyebrow, waved his hand lightly over his nose, and grinned at the enemy standing above him, saying, "You smell so bad, it's really pungent. Is it inconvenient to climb the tree, so you just relieved yourself up there?"

Xu Yunxin deliberately used hurtful words to test his resilience.

"Hmph! You sharp-tongued brat, I'll see if your mouth is still so tough later!"

As they spoke, figures appeared all around, and many more people carrying bows and arrows and long knives, dressed in tattered clothes, surrounded them.

Without any orders from above, eight more "silver arrows" came whistling in.

Eight arrows followed by eight more; these "silver arrows" seemed to be raining down on the two of them as if they were free.

Under the enemy's barrage of arrows, the fierce wind around the two had long been dispersed. Uncle Fu was sweating, and his movements in manipulating the long banner gradually slowed down, almost allowing a "silver arrow" to slip through and hit Xu Yunxin.

Seeing that Uncle Fu was showing signs of weakness, the person above him gave another order: "Surround him, chop up the old one, and cripple the young one."

Upon hearing the order, the people surrounding him rushed forward without a word, like machines receiving instructions, raising their various weapons and hacking at Uncle Fu with all their might!

"Hey!"

As the swords and axes were about to strike, Uncle Fu roared, and the earth-colored banner in his hand shone brightly. The light condensed into an earth-yellow moon around him, which then swirled around him and slashed out!

"Pfft, ding, ding, dong."

The earth-colored moon wheel that Fu Bo unleashed with his long banner was incredibly fast and incomparably sharp. It swept across the area almost instantly, cutting dozens of people who rushed up in half on the spot!

After delivering that blow, Uncle Fu's face was ashen, his head and face were covered in sweat, and his hand holding the long banner trembled slightly, indicating that he was nearing exhaustion.

"Clap! Clap clap! Truly, excellent technique! My subordinates were all in the late stage of Body Establishment, strong and tough, yet you killed them all in one move. Amazing!"

The man in the tree seemed completely unconcerned about the lives of his men, and instead began commenting on Uncle Fu's methods.

Just as Uncle Fu was about to speak to delay, the person in the tree suddenly sprang up, drew a gleaming long knife with a "whoosh," and slashed it down at Uncle Fu's head with the force of splitting Mount Hua.

"clang!"

"boom!"

Uncle Fu used the long banner in his hand to parry the long knife that the man was about to slash down.

The long banner and the long sword clashed, producing a resounding clang of metal!

The man's spiritual energy was at its peak, and his long sword shimmered with spiritual light. Using the momentum of his fall, he pressed down on Uncle Fu with this one strike, causing his feet to sink deeply into the mud!

"Bang!"

As the long sword cleaved the long banner, the man flipped over and kicked Xu Yunxin, who was behind Uncle Fu, hard.

This kick was powerful and heavy. Although it did not shatter the golden talisman on Xu Yunxin's body, it did kick him away from Uncle Fu!

Xu Yunxin stumbled and fell onto a large tree behind him.

"boom!"

As the man kicked Xu Yunxin away, the long banner in Uncle Fu's hand erupted again, growing and swirling rapidly. The man had no time to dodge and was wrapped up by the banner!

"Danger!"

Seeing that Uncle Fu had subdued the enemy, alarm bells suddenly went off in Xu Yunxin's mind!
