Chapter 72: The Grove

Swish!

A short sword flew through the air, and Xu Xiaoshou reached out to grab it.

The test was successful!

Even if it was someone else's spiritual sword, with his innate sword intent, he could already perform the "reverse sword style".

"In this case, it's easy..."

Without saying a word, Xu Xiaoshou chopped down with a palm, and the short sword in his hand was instantly broken in half.

The spiritual sword without the blessing of spiritual essence could not resist his "sharp light" at all.

He took away the other short sword and the head on the ground, thought about it, and walked out of the courtyard.

"If I were the one who ran away, what would I do?" Xu Xiaoshou thought from another perspective.

Run away!

Run away, get away, and never look back!

Ahem...

It's a bit taken for granted.

"If I were the one who ran away, and I had to look back, what would I do?" Xu Xiaoshou stroked his chin.

First, you should take a look from a distance and use the perception-type spiritual skills to check the situation. If it's not right, turn around and leave; if there is a chance, continue to go deeper and take every step carefully.

No matter how strong this guy's perception skills are, they are definitely not as good as mine. The result of the secret fight in the courtyard just now has been clear, so if he wants to wait...

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the open space in front of the courtyard. There was a winding path in front of him, and there was a small forest on both sides of the road.

The forest path was very long, and it was the only way to his own courtyard.

"Even if his perception range is larger, he has to go into this forest at least half the depth, and if he wants to ambush, this place must be the best choice!" Xu Xiaoshou was confident.

Clang!

The broken sword was hit on the ground.

If that guy detected this scene, he would definitely be panicked!

Xu Xiaoshou counted the number of spiritual pills in his ring. He won the championship last time and got a wave of rewards. There are still dozens of bottles left in it.

"Enough!" He walked towards the small forest.

If that guy doesn't look back tonight, it's fine. It's no big deal for me to get wet in the rain all night.

If he dares to look back...

Humph, then he never has to go back again!

"Hmm... not right!"

"What if, I think of what he thinks, and he also thinks that I think of what he thinks?"

Xu Xiaoshou was inexplicably horrified, thinking it was very likely!

He rushed back quickly, picked up the two broken swords on the ground, and then rushed to the grove.

Race against time!

...

Swish!

The sound of breaking wind screamed in the rain, and a red light shot out from the inner courtyard.

Feng Kong's face was full of uncontrollable anger and humiliation.

Xu Xiaoshou!

It was really Xu Xiaoshou!

If it weren't for Shao Yi's voice transmission before his death, he would still be waiting at the gate of the inner courtyard.

And just because of his hesitation and the waiting time, Shao Yi...

Was killed by that guy!

"He wouldn't have died..." Feng Kong's gums were bitten and bleeding, and the anger in his heart was uncontrollable.

Thinking of how Xu Xiaoshou frightened and humiliated him and the other two in the courtyard just now, his eyes were bloodshot.

A mere ninth realm actually scared me away in this way, and then killed Shao Yi, who was at the peak of Yuanting realm. What a shame!

"Pray that you can take the opportunity to escape..."

"But even so, you will live in the shadow of fear for the rest of your life!"

Feng Kong looked like a madman, his face was completely distorted, and he flew from the inner courtyard to the vicinity of Ehu Lake in a short time.

The dragonfly still touched the water, and there was no one beside it.

What a irony? !

Raindrops pattered on the lake, ripples spread out in circles, and the fat geese and fish were frightened away by the amazing killing intent and fled everywhere.

"Pop~"

Several lake bubbles burst, and Feng Kong crossed Ehu Lake and stood on the white jade railing.

"Calm down!" The rain woke him up, and he suppressed his anger behind his head.

Even if his teammates were killed because of his misjudgment, he would not really lose his mind.

Several years of experience as a professional killer made him develop a calm mind, and he stopped to think.

Xu Xiaoshou...

It's not his strength that's strong, but his thinking that's no less than his own.

The guessing in the courtyard just now has proved all this, but Feng Kong doesn't think so when he has to admit that he lost a level.

He was just shocked by the scene in his courtyard, and thus his mentality was taken advantage of.

At this time, jumping out of the game, as a chess player, Xu Xiaoshou's tricks are really nothing.

He has some cleverness, but without enough strength to match, he is still as small as an ant.

Even thinking so, Feng Kong still has to pay attention to this ant, "If I were Xu Xiaoshou, would I break this deadlock like this?"

Escape!

Escape, get away, and even leave the courtyard!

Feng Kong shook his head. This is impossible. If he escapes again, he can't escape from the Ling Palace. Even if he escapes from the Ling Palace, there will be more people who want his life.

That kid is very smart. He must know that he can escape for a while, but not for life.

"So... an ambush?"

Feng Kong was a little unsure. Could this guy have the strength to ambush?

But he thought of Shao Yi...

At the peak of Yuanting Realm, even if he was alone, he would be able to complete the task.

But he escaped...uh, not long after he left, Shao Yi was killed!

How did he die?

Feng Kong didn't believe it at all. Xu Xiaoshou, who was only at the ninth level, could kill Shao Yi, even though that guy had many innate level trump cards.

But at this moment, he had to believe it!

Without dwelling on the details, he reasoned, "If he has the power to kill me and has set an ambush, what will he do?"

The rainy night returned to silence.

As he pondered, his murderous intent had already subsided, and the fat geese on the lake began to quack again, and the lake water gurgled, as if there were fish spitting bubbles.

"If I were Xu Xiaoshou..." Feng Kong tilted his head and frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I would push what I push and think what I think!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"This guy is best at figuring out other people's ideas, just like in the courtyard, and he has seen through many of my schemes one after another."

"If he plans to ambush, he will definitely think about the problem from my perspective..."

Feng Kong nodded solemnly, feeling that he had grasped the direction.

"He doesn't know my strength, so everything can only be guessed, and he must not know that I have already known his identity!"

"So, if he guessed that I would turn around to kill him, he would not have thought that I would rush all the way, but would slowly move forward, constantly exploring, depending on the situation of the battle in the courtyard..."

"But Shao Yi is dead now. If he is smart, he will definitely not sit and wait for death in the courtyard!"

"And there is only one way to the courtyard, which is the forest path of Xu Chang..."

Feng Kong shuddered, "Small woods?"

Very likely!

If according to his previous thoughts, whether it is rushing all the way or step by step, as long as Xu Xiaoshou ambushed in front of the small woods in advance, he would definitely not think of it.

And the result...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder, it's too terrible!

Fortunately, all this has been seen through by himself, so there is nothing to worry about.

Hate flashed in Feng Kong's eyes. Originally, he just accepted the task of killing people, but now, he has to add one more...

Vent anger!

"A small forest, right..."

"Xu Xiaoshou, just wait there and die!"
