Volume 1 A Thousand Stars Chapter 47 Can't think of a way
Xie Fan deliberately slowed down and slowly waited for the pale face to catch up. He first circled around, found the thickest pine tree, stood behind the tree, and sensed the distance between his pale face and himself with his soul power through the tree.
Seeing Xie Fan standing still, the pale face was worried that he had some means that he didn't know, so he also stopped for the time being. But if he didn't come forward, he couldn't kill Xie Fan, and after thinking for a while, he took out a long sword from the space ring with a pale face. He held the long sword in his right hand, raised it to shoulder level, probed the way with the tip of the sword, and leaned towards Xie Fan little by little.
Xie Fan couldn't detect the long sword, but he could detect the pale face's arm stretched forward, and it was only a small swing, and it was estimated that he must have a weapon in his hand.
When the pale-faced arm was still more than three feet away from the tree, Xie Fan jumped back with a little force on his feet. He acted in advance because he was worried that if it was really as he thought, the pale face would not be able to dodge if he had a weapon in his hand.
Seeing that Xie Fan was about to escape, the pale face didn't care about probing the situation in front of him, and with a shock of his wrist, the long sword stabbed at Xie Fan as soon as he reached forward.
Xie Fan was standing on the terrain that had been chosen, and the tree body was just in the middle of the two. The pale face only detected Xie Fan's backward jump, but he didn't know the body of the tree in the middle, and suddenly stabbed the body of the tree with the long sword. A strong force was transmitted back from the blade of the sword, and his wrist was about to break, and then he realized that he had been reckless.
The pale face slowly turned down, and followed closely behind Xie Fan step by step, and he didn't dare to despise Xie Fan in his heart like he did just now.
After Xie Fan turned around a few times in front, he found another position. Three pine trees are lined up in a row, each with a distance of about half a zhang between them. He stood still behind the big tree in the middle, waiting for the pale face to come to him.
This time, the pale face did not move rashly, he first tested the surroundings with his long sword to make sure that there were no obstructions around the trees, and then slowly moved forward. However, he stood still when he was three feet away from Xie Fan, as if he was thinking about how to restrict Xie Fan from using the tree body to escape behind.
The two confronted each other like this, and after a long time, the pale face still couldn't bear it, and slowly moved forward. At the same time, the long sword in his hand gently swung from side to side, not only to probe the surrounding situation, but also to keep the sword out at any time to deal with Xie Fan's attack.
This time, he still slashed his sword from Xie Fan's front, but it was only slowly advancing, and even if he stabbed the tree, there would be no big shock.
If Xie Fan continues to jump back like last time, then the situation will not change, and the two will maintain the momentum of chasing one after the other.
But this time, Xie Fan didn't jump back directly, but dodged to the left first, and when the long sword with a pale face was handed to this direction, he immediately stopped and jumped back.
Seeing Xie Fan change direction, the pale face retracted the long sword and then calculated the distance of the tree body, and then quickly passed forward without avoiding the tree body, chasing Xie Fan's sideways body and stabbing at it.
When Xie Fan jumped after stopping, he had already calculated the distance and speed, and happened to land behind the tree in front of Pale Face to the left.
The trees in the forest are relatively spaced widely, and it is rare to see them half a foot apart like this. The pale face didn't expect that there was a pine tree at such a close distance, and his wrist was forced, and he saw that the long sword pierced straight in front of Xie Fan like a dragon out of the water.
Seeing that Xie Fan, who had just landed, couldn't avoid the tip of the sword that was about to arrive in the blink of an eye, his pale face was about to laugh out loud, but when he heard a ding, he stabbed the body of the tree that was incomparably hard and indestructible.
The pale face used great force this time, and after a ding, there was another snap, and the long sword was broken in two. The pale face of the right hand of the tiger mouth also cracked, oozing out a trace of blood.
The pale face was furious by Xie Fan's teasing, and he calculated the direction slightly, and shook the broken sword in his hand regardless of it. The broken sword grazed the body of the tree, cutting a long gap in Xie Fan's clothes.
Xie Fan was shocked and covered with cold sweat, the power of this pale face was too great, and the speed of the broken sword was too fast, it was definitely not the Star General Realm that had passed through the three veins. And in the Star Master Realm that passes through the four veins, the strength of the hand is generally not much greater than that of the Star General Realm.
The power of this pale face is so strong, could it be the astral realm that has passed through the five veins?
Thinking of this, Xie Fan was afraid. Although the five-vein astral realm and the four-vein star master realm are only one vein, the difficulty of getting through this vein is much greater than that of the first four veins. After opening up, the strength is not twice as large as before, but quadruple. The strength of the hands of the Astral Realm will reach 16,000 catties, and it is definitely a master in this Huoyun City.
Although Xie Fan was thinking about it, he didn't stay where he was, and with the cover of the tree, he had already walked a short distance forward.
Pale Face didn't move again after throwing the broken sword in anger just now. Being able to control yourself and calm down immediately after an outburst of anger is also a difficult character. He thought that Xie Fan had already figured out the situation of the surrounding pine trees before he arrived. In fact, Xie Fan didn't notice that the strength of the pale face was so high just now, and the preparation was not so sufficient.
If the pale face flew forward directly to capture Xie Fan when he realized that the broken sword had not touched the body of the tree, it would be difficult to say what the result would be. But the caution of his pale face made him miss an opportunity in vain to further close the distance between him and Xie Fan.
If you are too cautious, you will sometimes lose opportunities, but if you are not cautious enough, you may step into a trap.
The two returned to the situation of chasing back and forth just now, Xie Fan had no good way to get rid of the pale face, and the pale face had no good way to catch up with Xie Fan quickly.
The strength of the empty body was trapped by the invisible tree body, and the dilemma could not be solved for a long time to deal with an ant, so he could only shrink his hands and feet and wait for the opportunity, which made the pale face's mentality change unconsciously. What annoyed him in particular was that even if he killed that kid, how would he get out of this strange place? He didn't want to be buried here with this kid.
Xie Fan was the disadvantage, although he was a little anxious in his heart, he was still much calmer than his pale face. It is already very fortunate for him to be able to maintain such a situation.
Both men were looking for a way to turn the situation around, but neither was at a loss. The pale face is energetic and has nowhere to go, Xie Fan is because the gap with the pale face's cultivation is too big, and he doesn't dare to let him get close.
Xie Fan also tried to find the edge of the forest through the investigation of soul power, but he couldn't find it, in the perception of soul power, no matter how far away it was, it was a vast white mist, and he didn't know where the edge was.
Time is consumed in such a stalemate, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Xie Fan. His body was only the pinnacle of a mortal martial artist, how could he compare it to the astral realm of the five veins in terms of longevity. If it goes on like this, there is no need to do anything more with a pale face, just follow step by step, and Xie Fan will also reach the point where the oil runs out.
The pale face seemed to think of this, and now he didn't press Xie Fan to let go, so he followed slowly and leisurely behind. As long as Xie Fan showed signs of stopping, he would step up and walk faster, and as long as Xie Fan started walking, he would slow down and keep the situation unchanged.
Time disappeared little by little, and Xie Fan also felt that the danger was approaching step by step.
In the end, Xie Fan gritted his teeth, thinking that he couldn't continue like this anymore, and he had to take the initiative to seek change, otherwise there would only be a dead end.
