47 Attack!
“These two bounty hunters are not the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level. They’re not easy to deal with. However, with the swamp formation, it’s not impossible to kill them. The problem is, should I defeat them one by one, or should I attack both of them at the same time?”
Xiao Shi currently has two plans.
The first plan was to attack the bounty hunter hiding in the dark first. He would kill one first, then deal with the second one and defeat them one by one.
The other plan was to attack two bounty hunters at the same time.
The advantage of the first plan was that the pressure was small. After all, these two bounty hunters were not the weakest ninth-stage Martial Entry-Level. In terms of strength, they were stronger than Xiao Shi.
If he defeated them one by one, the pressure and risk would be much lower.
However, the disadvantage was that when he dealt with one of them, he might alert the other party and be discovered. After all, the distance between the two of them was not far. If the other party saw that the situation was not good and escaped, it would not be worth it.
Secondly, he had to use the swamp formation twice. It would directly use up the remaining times of the swamp formation.
Compared to the first plan, apart from the higher risk, there were basically no other drawbacks to the second plan.
Xiao Shi weighed it carefully in his heart.
He made a decision.
…
At night.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Heavy rain poured. The dull sound of thunder reverberated in the world, like the roar of a god.
It was a stormy night.
On this rainy night, a figure quickly shuttled through the rainy night and silently appeared outside a residence.
Through the sensing of the blood qi mark, Xiao Shi could see the bounty hunter in the house sitting cross-legged on the bed, as if he was cultivating. A cold light flashed in his eyes. The compressed blood and qi in his body erupted and enveloped his entire body.
A long saber appeared in his hand.
BOOM!
His figure flashed forward and shattered the door. Xiao Shi instantly charged into the house. As the long saber whistled, it caused an explosion that tore through the air and slashed at the bounty hunter sitting cross-legged on the bed.
However, the moment the long saber slashed down, the bounty hunter Luo Fangyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes. There was no panic in his eyes. It was as if he had expected this.
Although he had waited for many days and did not see the other party take action, his vigilance did not decrease at all. He was on guard at all times.
“You’re finally willing to take action.” Luo Fangyi’s eyes flashed with joy. He was not afraid of the other party’s sneak attack. He was afraid that the other party would hide and not attack.
Now, it was finally here.
Clang!
The long saber struck a silver-white shield. It was blocked by this shield.
Xiao Shi’s slash was powerful and heavy, and even with the shield to block it, Luo Fangyi was still sent flying into the wall behind him. He could not be killed in one strike like when Xiao Shi killed the previous two bounty hunters.
After Xiao Shi saw that this slash failed to kill the other party, he actually stopped attacking and turned to leave.
“Hmm?” This immediately made Luo Fangyi frown. He did not expect this person to be so decisive. After the attack, he retreated without any hesitation.
He had waited for so many days for the other party to attack. How could he let him escape just like that? He immediately chased after him.
At the same time, in another house not far from this residence. Another bounty hunter, who had been paying attention to the movements here, immediately noticed the commotion here. “This night patroller who doesn’t want to reveal his name has finally made a move!”
His eyes lit up. He began to pay close attention. As long as they knew who this night patroller was, their mission would be successful.
He immediately saw it. The figure that had just charged into the house immediately rushed out and ran all the way. Behind him was Luo Fangyi, who was chasing closely. “This person actually chose to escape?”
This was something he had not expected. Then, he realized that the other party was actually running in his direction. However, he did not think too much about it. He was quite confident in his concealment ability.
Ordinary bounty hunters were only good at disguises.
Not only was he good at disguise, but he was also good at concealment.
He had never thought that this night patroller was here for him. Until the other party rushed to his house at an extremely fast speed. Only then did he suddenly realize that something was wrong!
BOOM!
Xiao Shi slammed into the wall of the house, causing the entire wall to collapse. As he shattered the wall of the house and rushed into the house, he slashed at the bounty hunter in the house with the long saber in his hand.
This was completely beyond the expectations of the bounty hunter in the room.
“How did he discover me??”
His expression changed drastically.
He did not expect to be exposed!
Facing Xiao Shi’s slash, his reaction was also extremely fast. He immediately blocked it. Amidst the rumbling, his figure was sent flying by Xiao Shi’s saber.
Xiao Shi also stopped and did not continue to run. He glanced at the bounty hunter chasing after him.
When Luo Fangyi saw that Xiao Shi had actually discovered another bounty hunter, his pupils constricted. He immediately understood Xiao Shi’s intentions. It was obvious that he wanted to gather the two bounty hunters together and capture them in one fell swoop!
Damn it! How did he find out?
Luo Fangyi realized that they had still underestimated this night patroller. Whether it was their disguise or concealment, it seemed to be useless in front of the other party.
The other bounty hunter’s expression was also gloomy. Originally, according to their plan, he only needed to hide in the darkness and confirm the other party’s identity. There was no need to attack. Even if Luo Fangyi died in battle, as long as he knew the identity of this night patroller and brought the news back to the organization, it would be considered a success.
But now, he had no choice but to attack with Luo Fangyi. Either this night patroller would die, or the two of them would die.
There was no way out.
Xiao Shi could also sense their killing intent from their eyes. Although there was a certain risk in attacking the two of them at the same time, Xiao Shi was very confident in the Swamp Array. Moreover, in all aspects, this was also the least disadvantageous way.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shi took out the array flags without hesitation and stabbed them into the ground. Waves of methane immediately spread out from the ground within a radius of 300 meters from the position of the array flags at the center.
It enveloped the two bounty hunters in the range of the array formation.
...
Both of them were shocked. They immediately discovered that the ground under their feet began to soften.
Not only that, Xiao Shi even took out a bamboo tube. The fog released by the bamboo tube instantly spread.
The swamp gas that rose from the ground had already blurred their vision. The fog that appeared now directly blocked their vision, causing them to only be able to see things within half a meter of them.
Everything more than half a meter away was covered by fog and nothing could be seen.
Xiao Shi’s figure immediately disappeared from the eyes of the two bounty hunters.
