Chapter 20 The Hunt Begins!

Luo Xiu hid his body completely in a thorn bush. After a while, he heard footsteps coming from far away.

Not far from where Luo Xiu was hiding, the body of the black-armored wolf lay in a pool of blood, and an iron-tailed tiger demon that smelled the blood was biting the flesh.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in Luo Xiu's sight, "Is it him?"

The person Luo Xiu saw was wearing white light armor and carrying an iron spear. He was the person he saw outside the stronghold before, and this person smiled at him at that time.

"Roar!"

The iron-tailed tiger demon that was devouring the black-armored wolf also heard the footsteps. When Chen Hu appeared, he flew over with his claws and teeth ferocious.

"Looking for death!"

Chen Hu snorted coldly, and the iron spear behind him fell into his hand. A ray of light lit up, and the long spear broke through the air. With a puff, he directly pierced the head of the iron-tailed tiger demon.

He was a Qi Hai Realm warrior who could fight against a Level 2 monster, so it was easy for him to deal with a Level 1 monster.

In his sight, Chen Hu also saw the body of the black-armored wolf. He walked over, checked it, frowned, and looked around.

"To be able to kill the black-armored wolf alone, it seems that the boy is quite powerful." With Chen Hu's experience, he instantly determined that the black-armored wolf was killed by someone, not the iron-tailed tiger monster.

There were footsteps again, and five people walked out of the nearby woods one after another.

"Brother!"

"Brother Hu!..."

When these five people saw Chen Hu, from the name, Luo Xiu, who was hiding in the bushes nearby, determined that these people were a group, and that Chen Hu was their leader.

Including Chen Hu, there were a total of six people, and Yuan Dashan, the only person Luo Xiu knew, was among them.

"Could it be that he wants to kill me?" Luo Xiu frowned and pondered. After all, Wang Yun and Zhang Hun, whom he killed, were originally Yuan Dashan's men. Perhaps they recognized him when they were at the stronghold.

"Brother, where is that kid?"

"We have been tracking him all the way here. He should be nearby. Why is there no sign of him?"

"We just killed a black-armored wolf. He must not have gone far!"

These people talked to each other. Under Chen Hu's order, Yuan Dashan went to harvest tiger skins and iron tails.

"Brothers, we take money from people and give them relief. Since we have taken the money, that kid must die. Let's go and look for him separately now. Once we find his whereabouts, kill him if you can. If you can't kill him, send a signal and other people nearby will rush over." Chen Hu said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Everyone responded.

"Yuan Dashan, after you harvest the tiger skin and iron tail, go find them immediately, did you hear me?"

"Yes, Brother Tiger!"

From the conversation between these people, Luo Xiu could probably be sure that the person who wanted to kill him was definitely not Yuan Dashan, but the leader Chen Hu.

"From what he said, it seems that someone hired them to kill me..." Luo Xiu narrowed his eyes. If he was talking about someone who had a grudge against him and wanted to put him to death, the most suspicious person should be Zhang Hai.

Zhang Hai was beaten into a cripple by him, so he is the most likely person.

"I am a student of the Martial Hall and protected by the Martial Hall. These guys actually dared to take on the task of killing me. It can be seen that they are all desperate people who value money over life."

Luo Xiu spread his perception and found that those people, including Chen Hu, had dispersed and searched the area from different directions.

Only Yuan Dashan, who was closest to him, was carefully harvesting tiger skins. The more complete the tiger skins were, the more valuable they were.

Soon, Luo Xiu had an idea in his mind. He rushed out of the bushes at the fastest speed and headed straight for Yuan Dashan who was next to the corpse of the iron-tailed tiger demon.

"Who is it?"

Yuan Dashan heard the noise and reacted instantly. He quickly picked up the double axes beside him.

"It turned out to be you!" Yuan Dashan's pupils shrank. The other person was wearing black clothes and a bamboo hat. He was the person Chen Hu wanted to kill.

And this person seemed to have been hiding nearby just now!

"Buzz!"

The light of internal energy lit up on Luo Xiu's body. This was a symbol that would only appear when the martial artist above the sixth level of body training circulated the internal energy to the extreme.

He knew very well that he had to take down Yuan Dashan in the shortest time, otherwise once Yuan Dashan sent out a signal, Chen Hu and his men would rush over.

"Swish!"

The Qingfeng sword was unsheathed and chopped directly at Yuan Dashan.

Yuan Dashan also immediately raised his double axes to block. With a clang, sparks flew everywhere. Yuan Dashan retreated three steps and his tiger's mouth was numb.

"What a strong force!" Yuan Dashan exclaimed in his heart. He was at the eighth level of physical training, and he could defeat him in one encounter. He must be at least a ninth level expert.

"It's a tricky idea. I'm going to send a signal to Chen Hu and the others to come over." Yuan Dashan threw away an axe, reached into his arms, and took out a small red bamboo tube.

But at this moment, his action came to an abrupt halt, because a sword was already across his neck.

"If you dare to send a signal, I will cut off your head." Luo Xiu said indifferently. He knew that the small red bamboo tube was similar to fireworks. As long as the mechanism was pulled, it could send a signal light bomb into the sky.

The cold light of the sword blade was like a thorn in his throat. Yuan Dashan felt a sharp pain in his neck and his skin had been cut.

At this moment, he felt the coldness penetrate his bones. The opponent was too fast and he didn't even have the chance to send a signal.

Yuan Dashan nodded quickly and threw away the signal transmitter in his hand. He knew very well that his life was completely in the hands of the opponent.

"I ask you, who asked you to kill me?" Luo Xiu asked in a deep voice.

"Swoosh!"

A cold light flew over, and before Yuan Dashan could speak, a silver-white arrow pierced his heart directly from behind.

Luo Xiu's face changed. He had just focused on Yuan Dashan, so he didn't notice that someone appeared nearby in advance.

Yuan Dashan's eyes were wide open, and he looked down at the arrow that pierced his body, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

He felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred. Before he fell into the darkness of death, Chen Hu's voice suddenly came into his ears.

"Boy, I knew you were hiding nearby!"

"Bang!" Yuan Dashan's body fell in a pool of blood.

Suddenly, Luo Xiu didn't need to spread his life perception to see a series of figures coming out of the bushes.

The leader was Chen Hu, and there were three people beside him, and an archer was hiding not far away.

Luo Xiu understood in an instant that Chen Hu asked Yuan Dashan to harvest tiger skins and iron tails, which was purely a bait.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiu turned around and fled without saying a word.

"Swoosh!"

The silver arrow flew over, like a silver streak, at an extremely fast speed.

While running and leaping, Luo Xiu moved his feet sideways, and his speed was basically not affected much, so he avoided the attack of the arrow.

"Chase!" Chen Hu gave an order, and his men immediately dispersed and chased Luo Xiu in a siege.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!..."

Shutting through the jungle quickly, Luo Xiu's speed was like a leopard, and his movements were as sharp as a monkey. With his great skills, even Chen Hu, who was in the Qi Hai realm, could not catch up with his speed.

Only the arrows shot by the archer made Luo Xiu cautious, because the archer's strength was much stronger than that of Zhang Hun.

"Damn, running so fast?"

Chen Hu's face was ashen. In his sight, Luo Xiu's figure was getting farther and farther away and more and more blurred.

It was true that he was a warrior in the Qi Hai realm, but he was not good at speed.

However, he was not worried that his people would be in trouble after Luo Xiu escaped, because the other party had no evidence, and it would not be a big deal even if he went to the martial arts hall to report it.

In a hidden weed, Luo Xiu stopped. In his perception, Chen Hu and his people could not catch up in a short time.

"Who wants to kill me? How did Chen Hu know that I was hiding nearby?" Luo Xiu's heart was full of doubts.

Regarding the first question, Luo Xiu felt that the Zhang family was the most suspicious. As for the second question, Luo Xiu felt that he should have left some traces. With Chen Hu's rich experience in the jungle, he determined that he was hiding nearby. As for where he was hiding, he could not confirm it, so he asked Yuan Dashan to be the bait.

In the sensing range, the life breath of human warriors was unusually eye-catching. The five people on the other side scattered to search this area. They were not far from each other. Once a situation occurred, they could rescue each other.

"Among these five people, only Chen Hu is in the Qi Hai realm, and the others are all in the ninth level of body refining. Maybe I can defeat them one by one!" Luo Xiu's eyes flashed fiercely.

Since the other party came to kill him, he would naturally not be polite. For example, he killed Wang Yun and Zhang Hun in Shuiwu Mountain!

The special ability of life perception allows Luo Xiu to avoid those monsters lurking in the mountains and forests even if he shuttles quickly in the jungle, but Chen Hu and others, even with rich experience, cannot completely avoid them.

According to the strength of the life breath, Luo Xiu first locked onto one, then hid his body and approached carefully.

"Damn it, a kid with the seventh level of body refinement is so difficult to deal with."

A thin man with a scar on his face was walking in the forest, holding a knife in his hand and cursing.

"Hiss!..."

Suddenly, the scarred man stopped abruptly, his eyes locked on the trunk of a big tree in front of him, where a python as thick as a bowl was swallowing its core and staring at him.

With a cold snort from the corner of his mouth, the scarred man rushed over quickly, the knife flashed, the python's head flew up, rolled down in the distance, and the snake's body fell from the tree.

This python was just an ordinary first-level monster, and with his strength of the ninth level of body refinement, it was easy to kill it.

The scarred man picked up a snake gall with the tip of the knife.

At this moment, he felt a strong breath of danger, and the hairs on his back stood up. He instinctively swung his knife and chopped behind him.

"Clang!"

The sound of iron and stone hitting each other echoed in the forest. The scarred man felt numb in his palm and took two steps back involuntarily.

But then, a sword light pierced through his body. Before he died, the scarred man's eyes were full of fear. He couldn't imagine why a kid who had practiced the seventh level of body training could be so fast.

"The only martial arts in the world that can't be broken is speed. This sentence is really true."

Luo Xiu pulled the sword out of the opponent's body, blood dripped along the blood groove of the sword blade, and his eyes were full of coldness.

In just over three months, things happened to him one after another. Not only his body, but also his mind was undergoing a certain transformation.

Without staying at all, Luo Xiu quickly left here. With his inch-by-inch body skills at the great perfection level and his ability to perceive life, he had the absolute initiative in this hunt!

Unknowingly, before it was late at night, the sky darkened, and then a thunder streaked across the sky, and heavy rain poured down.

Dark clouds rolled, and the jungle was covered by darkness.

"Puff!"

The Qingfeng Sword cut the throat of a ninth-level martial artist again. Luo Xiu had a blank expression on his face. "The hunt has just begun!"
