Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 113 Clouds Covering the Moon

The bandits couldn't see anything in the dark, they heard Xu Mabang's cry in panic, and immediately gathered around him looking for the sound.

Xu Mabang, Wang Mazi, Yang Dan and Liu Huaying stood side by side, staring closely at the figures running towards them.

With their eyesight, they can barely distinguish the figure, but they can't see the facial features clearly.

"Stand still, what's your name?"

Xu Mabang raised the iron rod, pointed at a tall bandit and shouted.

"Sun Erlong." The bandit said hastily.

"Go to the back!" Xu Mabang said as he waved the iron rod.

The bandit named Sun Erlong heaved a sigh of relief, and just as he raised his leg to take two steps, he suddenly felt a severe pain in the back of his head, and then his body went limp, and he fell to the ground.

Behind him, another black shadow appeared.

Xu Mabang and the others were startled at first, then furious, and rushed towards the shadow together.

Zhao Lin snorted softly, swayed his shoulders, turned around with sliding steps, stopped in front of the two bandits, pierced the chest of one with the iron ruler, and then punched the other, making the other's face bloom.

The figure is erratic, chasing the wind like lightning, killing the bandits crying for their father and mother.

Xu Mabang and others chased after him fiercely, but they didn't even get a piece of clothes, so they yelled angrily, "The boy surnamed Zhao has the guts to fight with men in a dignified manner."

"Dignified? You... are also worthy!"

Every time Zhao Lin uttered a word, there was a bandit's scream. When he finished speaking the last word, he had already circled behind several people and continued to hunt and kill the living bandits.

Xu Mabang heard his subordinates fall to the ground one by one, and was extremely angry in his heart. He pulled out his waist knife and swung it towards the place where the sound came from, but he heard a scream of "ah", which was clearly the voice of his subordinates.

He finally understood that Zhao Lin was the one with the upper hand in the dark night.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed.

The dark cloud that blocked the moon passed by, and the moonlight reappeared, casting a clear glow.

The four were overjoyed, and hurriedly looked around, only to find that there were nearly twenty corpses lying on the ground in disorder, and there were still a dozen of his men left, forming several small circles back to back, and waving knives outwards indiscriminately.

Zhao Lin stood not far away and looked over coldly.

Xu Mabang looked up at the sky and saw another dark cloud drifting towards the moon, so he said decisively, "Go!"

Taking advantage of the moonlight, he led the people to escape to the old Yulin behind the hill.

Zhao Lin had already checked the surrounding terrain and guessed what they were thinking, so he was not in a hurry, and waited around looking for opportunities.

Whenever a bandit showed his flaws, he would strike suddenly.

He deliberately didn't kill the bandit all at once, but made the other party scream to create a tense atmosphere.

When the bandits heard the cry, they were all startled. Some even slipped and fell to the ground, adding another dead soul to Zhao Lin's hands.

After a cup of tea, the surviving bandits fled into the woods.

Xu Mabang and the others didn't dare to stop for a while, and quickly shuttled through the forest in the dark, turning a deaf ear to the screams coming from behind.

He has no time to care about the life and death of his subordinates at all now. What he worries about is not whether he can keep his subordinates, but his own life.

Wang Mazi, Liu Huaying and Yang Dan also had the same thoughts as him, silently following around.

After running for an unknown amount of time, the four of them ran to the edge of the woods.

"What kind of bird place is this?"

Wang Mazi glanced out of the forest, only to see the dim moonlight shining on a hillside he had never seen before.

They didn't run in a straight line on purpose just now, so as not to be blocked by Zhao Lin, and the forest couldn't tell the direction, and they didn't know where they ran.

Liu Huaying lay on the ground and listened for a while, but didn't hear any movement, then got up and said, "I've been here before, it's on the east side of Fuli Valley, and it's been less than two hours since I went back."

After hearing this, Yang Dan asked Xu Mabang, "Second Master, can we get out?"

Xu Mabang pondered for a while, and finally shook it slowly, "You also met just now, this kid is very evil, he can see at night, and it doesn't affect his actions at all."

"If he gets in the way, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap? Why don't we wait until dawn, and with our skills, we don't have to be afraid of him during the day!"

Wang Mazi was dubious and said, "Second brother, do you suspect that kid is waiting for us outside? Isn't that too evil?"

Xu Mabang spat, "Damn it, he can fly, isn't it evil?"

The faces of the three of them changed upon hearing this. When they were by the lake before, Zhao Lin flew over their heads and circled in the air. They all saw it with their own eyes.

It's unbelievable, but it happened.

Is this kid a human or a ghost?
"who!"

Xu Mabang suddenly raised the iron rod, pointed at a certain place in the forest and shouted loudly.

"Second Master's ears are real!"

Following the sound, Zhao Lin walked out from behind a big tree.

He just cleaned up the bandits along the way and followed the four of them from a distance.

The reason why he didn't rush to make a move was because he found that there were a lot of vegetation in the woods, and the echolocation was greatly disturbed.

In addition to the luxuriant elms in the old elm forest, there are many low shrubs and weeds half as tall as a man.

If only a small area is targeted, he can accurately outline the shape of an object.

However, the forest environment is complex, and bandits may ambush anywhere, so ultrasonic waves must be emitted in all directions without dead ends.

After the first ultrasound came back, he was able to determine that there was something there, but not a person or a tree.

Only after receiving the second ultrasonic wave, if the position of the object changes, can it be determined that the person is moving.

If the position remains the same, it could be a tree or a person standing still.

In this way, there will be a delay in judgment, which is far less clear and accurate than in an open area, which is not conducive to exerting one's own advantages.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Lin decided to wait for the four of them to leave the woods before doing anything.

But what he didn't expect was that Xu Mabang saw through his intention by mistake and planned to stay in the woods until dawn.

He can only change his strategy and approach the sneak attack.

After all, Xu Mabang was two levels higher in realm, and he was aware of Zhao Lin's actions, so he just showed up.

Zhao Lin's voice was calm and gentle, but to Wang Mazi and the others, it sounded like a thunderclap. Shocked, they moved closer to Xu Mabang.

Wang Mazi looked at a pitch-black forest, took a deep breath, and felt the hand holding the knife tremble slightly.

"Second brother, it seems that this kid killed us. Should we fight him here, or go out?"

Xu Mabang stared at Zhao Lin's direction, and a thought flashed in his mind.

Zhao Lin has been following them, but he is not in a hurry to make a move, which seems to indicate that the forest is not a suitable place for him to fight.

Why, isn't he able to see at night?

Not in the woods?
Although Xu Mabang couldn't figure out the reason, he knew a truth: You can't let your enemy get what you want!

Since Zhao Lin didn't choose to fight in the woods, he couldn't go out. The moonlight outside was dim, and maybe he would be blocked by dark clouds...

Thinking of this, Xu Mabang said in a deep voice: "Fight him right here! This fight is life and death, I don't believe it, the four of us can't take him down!"
