Chapter 44: Swamp

After the collision.

The two figures retreated at the same time.

Zhuo Fu retreated five steps in a row, leaving a deep footprint on the ground with each step.

Xiao Shi retreated seven steps in a row.

“Sure enough, with my current blood and qi strength, I will be at a disadvantage in a head-on fight with this ninth-level martial arts realm.”

Xiao Shi was not surprised by this.

The reason why he did not choose to sneak attack this time, but to fight head-on, was to verify his current strength.

From the current fight, he was slightly at a disadvantage.

But the gap was not very big.

“Come again.”

He moved.

He killed again.

The collision of the long sword and the broadsword continued to explode.

The two fought fiercely.

The rumbling sound continued.

Although Zhuo Fu’s blood and qi, cultivation, and actual combat experience were far stronger than Xiao Shi’s.

But Xiao Shi relied on his speed and flexibility under the arc flash to fight back and forth with Zhuo Fu. Although he was slightly at a disadvantage, Zhuo Fu could not do anything to him.

Clang!
After repelling Xiao Shi with a sword, Zhuo Fu frowned.

“A meaningless fight.”

The difference in their fighting power was not big, and it was obvious that neither of them could do anything to the other.

It would be a complete waste of time to fight like this.

Especially after he found that this guy seemed to want to hone him, he didn’t want to waste time here.

Prepare to find an opportunity to withdraw directly.

Xiao Shi also saw that the other party had no intention of continuing the fight.

“I wanted to play with you for a while, since you are so eager to die, I will fulfill your wish.”

Xiao Shi flipped his hand.

He took out a flag directly from the storage bag.

This time, in addition to wanting to verify his own strength, he also wanted to verify the power of the [Swamp Formation]!

Since this formation can only be used three times in total.

You can’t just try it out of thin air.

You need to have a suitable target.

This warrior who has entered the ninth level of the martial realm is obviously a good target.

Swish!
As Xiao Shi inserted the formation flag in his hand into the ground.

With the position where the formation flag was inserted as the center, the ground within a radius of 300 meters was suddenly filled with waves of methane.

The surrounding scenery became blurred under these methane.

“What is this!?”

Zhuo Fu was shocked.

He felt the ground under his feet softening rapidly, and his feet began to sink.

A strong sense of crisis instantly filled his entire mind.

He no longer hesitated.

He fled decisively.

However, the soft ground made every step he took extremely difficult.

It was like running in a swamp.

Extremely difficult!

It took a lot of effort to take only two steps forward.

These two steps alone have exhausted all his strength.

“Damn it!”

Zhuo Fu’s face was ugly.

The sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.

The ground under his feet had begun to turn into a swamp, sticking to his feet. Not only did he need to use the greatest strength every time he lifted his feet, but if he remained still, his body would sink little by little.

“What the hell is this!!”

Zhuo Fu’s heart was in turmoil.

Since there was no formation master proficient in formations in Qixingzhou, he had never seen such a formation… before!

In a panic, he couldn’t help but raise the broadsword in his hand and slashed at the swamp under him, wanting to use his strongest slash to break the swamp.

However, when this sword slashed on the swamp, it was like a drop in the ocean, and did not cause any waves.

On the contrary, the moment the broadsword touched the swamp, the entire broadsword was stuck!

Even if he pulled it hard, it was difficult to pull it out of the swamp.

Fear exploded in Zhuo Fu’s heart little by little.

This strange method made him feel powerless, and he was completely unable to break free from the swamp.

He could only watch his body sinking little by little.

Not far away, Xiao Shi was watching this scene with bright eyes.

Although he was also in the swamp.

But the swamps under his feet did not cause any impact on him. He still felt like he was standing on flat ground, not in the swamp.

Looking at Zhuo Fu who was struggling in the swamp.

Although he had expected that this formation would be very powerful, its power was far beyond Xiao Shi’s imagination.

Now even if he did nothing.

Zhuo Fu would sink deeper and deeper in the swamp.

Although he would not die, this formation had a very strong imprisoning effect.

Even a warrior who entered the ninth level of the martial realm would find it difficult to break free under such imprisonment, and would only sink deeper and deeper.

In this state, it would be quite easy for him to kill him.

The only thing to note is.

This formation can only last for three minutes. After three minutes, it will dissipate.

“Three minutes is enough!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were burning.

With the power of this formation, he can kill even the bounty hunters in the city!

When I get back, I will kill that shark as soon as possible!
Then I can get another item dropped by a ninth-level warrior in the martial arts realm.

So delicious!
As for now…

Let’s see what good things will fall out after killing Zhuo Fu.

Xiao Shi immediately walked over step by step.

At this time, Zhuo Fu had sunk to his thighs in the swamp. His feet were completely unable to move. He could only watch Xiao Shi approach.

There was fear and despair in his eyes.

Although his hands could still move, he was fixed in place and could only become a living target for Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi went directly behind him.

Cut it with a knife.

Chi!
The blade slashed at the blood and qi surrounding his body.

These blood and qi have strong protection. After Xiao Shi slashed at them, he was unable to penetrate them directly at the first time. It felt like he was blocked by a membrane. He needed to break this membrane before he could touch his body.

The strong crisis made Zhuo Fu struggle more violently.

However, the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

Unable to move, he could only resist every blow from Xiao Shi with the blood and qi surrounding his body.

Puff!
Finally, when the blood and qi surrounding his body were broken, the sword in Xiao Shi’s hand swept across his neck.

He cut off his head with one blow.

With Zhuo Fu’s death, Xiao Shi quickly picked up the items he dropped and left.

After arriving outside the town, he quickly changed back into his previous clothes and waited for Cen Qingci.

Calculating the time, Cen Qingci should be back soon.

Sure enough.

It didn’t take long.

Then I saw Cen Qingci rushing from a distance at a very fast speed.

“Nothing happened?”

Cen Qingci looked at Xiao Shi.

“No.”

Xiao Shi shook his head and asked curiously.

“Sister, have you prepared the killing weapon?”

“Yes!”

Cen Qingci nodded, with a touch of excitement on her delicate little face.

“Although there are still some risks, I think there is a chance to kill him! But it is still too dangerous inside, Junior Brother, don’t go, wait for me here, I will kill Zhuo Fu first, and then take you in to find the wanted criminal.”

“Okay, come on, Senior Sister!”

Xiao Shi encouraged.

“Wait for my good news!”

Cen Qingci rushed in with murderous intent.

Then in less than a minute, she came out.
