The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

At the beginning of the unitary hour, the sky was getting dark, and Xiao Yuhan and Chen Zixu came to a path in the woods.

The map of Xuzhou in Xiao Yuhan's memory does not exist here, because there were too many wars in the Jin Dynasty, the emperors rotated too quickly, and the boundaries of various states and counties changed frequently. No one drew a national map, and many officers and soldiers even held maps of the Han Dynasty. She had an inexplicable sense of resistance to this kind of area with unclear boundaries, and she felt that she would definitely get lost.

"Sister Zixu, where are you?"

"This should be the boundary of Huailing County. It is a hundred miles away from Siwu County, which is governed by the county, and nearly two hundred miles away from Yangping County, which is governed by Dunqiu County."

"Sister Zixu, is there no inn nearby?"

"After this forest is Huai Ling East Station, let's rush there as soon as possible before it gets dark."

The two of them raced their horses to speed up, and the two horses galloped along the forest path.

Just when the trees in the woods gradually began to thin out, Xiao Yuhan suddenly heard a strange noise. She looked at Chen Zixu, and both of them saw alertness in each other's eyes.

"Whoosh..." A sound broke through the air from the woods, followed by dozens of spiritual arrows flashing with white light and shooting towards the two of them. Xiao Yuhan gathered the water spiritual power into a shield with both hands, and imprisoned the spiritual arrows that were shot at her with the power of water, but did not make them explode, because the spiritual arrows were originally inspired by the battle stone and no one could control them after they were sent out. Xiao Yuhan used this to kill the eight A spiritual arrow was confiscated.

The remaining spiritual arrows were chopped down by Chen Zixu with his magical sword. At the same time as the spiritual arrow exploded, more than a dozen assassins in black jumped out of the woods and rushed towards them. Seeing that someone had appeared, Xiao Yuhan slightly adjusted the direction of the confinement power of the spiritual arrow, released the confinement, and threw it towards the black-clothed assassin with the power of water. Three people were carelessly pierced by spiritual arrows and their black clothes exploded, killing them on the spot. Others were also temporarily forced to stop by the impact of the spiritual arrow explosion.

The two of them galloped past the assassin in black.

"Chase!" The assassin in black did not give up the chase and ran after him.

Xiao Yuhan looked back and saw that these assassins had not given up, and realized that they were not the only ones ambushing her. Just as she was about to shout "be careful", she heard a loud boom, and a huge pit of more than twenty feet appeared in front of the two of them. With quick eyesight and quick hands, Xiao Yuhan took off the sword from the horse, used the White Tiger Spiritual Technique, and stood on the falling horse with a strange movement. The spiritual power under his feet suddenly burst out, pushing the horse down and launching himself to the opposite side of the pit. .

Chen Zixu did not have such dexterity. She only had time to jump back and avoid the pit. The horse also fell into the pit and was penetrated by the sharp thorns below.

Dozens of assassins in black appeared from the woods around Xiao Yuhan, and Chen Zixu was also surrounded by assassins chasing from behind.

The two of them decided almost at the same time to find a point to kill before the assassins' encirclement was completely formed, and went straight to the woods on both sides. The assassins on Xiao Yuhan's side showed the cultivation level of the first and second levels of the Qi Gathering Realm. Xiao Yuhan showed the strength of the peak Qi Gathering Realm and killed the two assassins who had just rushed out of the woods on the right with one sword. She At the same time, she bent her legs and kicked off, the White Tiger Spiritual Technique was activated, and a tyrannical force took her towards the woods. The assassins were disrupted by the powerful attack at this moment, but they quickly calmed down and chased into the woods.

The assassins who besieged Chen Zixu were only in the psychic realm, and the leader was only in the second level of Qi Gathering. She also successfully entered the woods on the right. In the woods, after the two met, they cooperated tacitly, appearing and disappearing, and their moves were deadly. Although the assassins were numerous in number, there was a gap in their cultivation and they were unable to compete with the two's tacit cooperation and superb swordsmanship.

The two of them kept swinging their swords in the forest, kept moving, and kept making moves, defeating the enemies one by one. Finally, when the last assassin fell, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

Sensing that his men were defeated by the two men, the assassin leader finally couldn't bear it any longer. He let out an angry roar from the forest, waved the big knife in his hand, and cut off all the trees blocking the road with several sword energy towards the location of the two men. Rushed over.

"Concentration state?" When the two saw the aura exuded by the assassin leader, they both frowned and looked at each other. They both saw the intention of retreat in the other's eyes.

The horses were lost, and both of them used all their strength to run towards the inn. Huai Ling East Post is an official post and is guarded by officers and soldiers. Especially since it is an official post far away from the city, the protective power is enough to frighten the monks in the Core Formation Realm. Entering Huai Ling East Post can be said to be temporarily safe.

Of course the assassin knew this, and the assassin leader led his nine cronies at the fifth level of the Qi Gathering Realm in hot pursuit. The advantage of the Concentration Realm comes from the magic weapon in his hand. The assassin leader's spiritual power is not much stronger than that of ordinary monks at the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm. He cannot catch up with Xiao Yuhan who is at the peak of the ninth level of the Qi Gathering Realm. However, Chen Zixu only has Qi Gathering Realm. The fourth level, coupled with the fact that the assassin leader continued to use the sword magic weapon in his hand to send out long-range sword energy at them, the assassin leader could gradually see the two figures escaping in front of them.

When Xiao Yuhan saw that he was about to run out of the woods in front of him, he felt the spiritual pressure coming from behind him and knew that the enemy was already chasing him. She suddenly hugged Chen Zixu's waist, sprinted forward with all her strength to the edge of the woods, and then threw Chen Zixu out of the woods.

Chen Zixu was about to struggle because of the sudden hug, but he heard Xiao Yuhan say: "Sister Zixu, I will stop them for a moment. You run to the inn to ask for help. They say there are robbers plundering outside the inn."

Just as she was talking, she felt like she was being thrown out. When she looked back, Xiao Yuhan had jumped onto the tree and disappeared into the woods.

When the assassin leader was about to use his sword energy to hinder the escape of the two people in front, he suddenly found that the two people burst out at extremely fast speed and disappeared before his eyes. He glanced with his mind and found that the distance between the two had become much farther, and they had already ran out of the woods. He roared angrily and ran wildly out of the forest with his nine cronies.

Once out of the forest, there was a vast plain. The sun was setting low. Under the illumination of the half-red sun that was about to sink into the west, a petite figure appeared in the sight of the assassin leader. The outline of the building could be vaguely seen in the direction she was running. .

The moment the assassin leader was confused because he saw only one figure, two white spiritual energy swords had passed through the heads of the two henchmen. The smell of blood inspired the assassin leader's fighting instinct, and he slashed at the still-standing corpse of one of his henchmen with one blow. The corpse was instantly cut into two pieces, but Xiao Yuhan's figure had already appeared next to another confidant who had not recovered from the shock.

"You go after that woman, leave this to me!" As the assassin leader issued instructions to the remaining six henchmen, everyone reacted and immediately ducked behind the leader. However, just as the six people turned around and started to pursue Chen Zixu, a delicate magic sword quickly penetrated the waist of the henchman who was running at the front. Because the force was too strong, it directly broke the lumbar spine, and the body folded in half and fell. The sword was nailed into the ground a hundred feet away, and the remaining five people immediately turned back to be on guard.
