HCB Chapter 276 Beetle
Chapter 276 Beetle
The competition between Chu Yanqiu and Hu Chong lasted from day to night and ended with Hu Chong's defeat and the loss of his family heirloom sword, the Heaven-shaking Sword.
Chu Yanqiu took Hu Chong's Heaven Shaking Sword and pointed his sword at Hu Chong and said, "Now that you are unarmed, I ask you whether you will admit defeat or not."
Hu Chong touched his chest, feeling his internal energy wasted. The place where he was hit by the man's palm was aching. In fact, halfway through the fight, he already knew that he was no match for the man with his magical skills that he had practiced for twenty years. Hu Chong coughed a few times, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he quickly wiped it with his hand, then said, "I surrender."
I thought Chu Yanqiu would return the sword to him, but Chu Yanqiu had no intention of doing so. He said to Hu Chong, "You care about this sword a lot? I heard it's an heirloom sword, no wonder, but I can't give it to you now. You are a man of integrity, but your descendants are all villains. Do you think your descendants will deal with my beloved wife again one day in the future? So I can't give you this sword, but it's not that I won't give it to you. I want you to watch those unfilial descendants go back on their word and chase Shen Wen again, and then use your family's sword to kill them."
Hu Chong stopped fighting. His body was so exhausted that he was already drowsy. He knew that the most urgent thing now was to circulate his internal energy and meditate to heal his wounds. Hu Chong said, "I understand, but I warn you, my family heirloom sword is a divine weapon. You'd better not throw it away. Otherwise, I will not let you go."
Chu Yanqiu could not hear his threats at all. He walked into the darkness with his sword in hand and went to rest somewhere else.
The next day, after both of them had rested enough, they met again unexpectedly by a small river.
The two people were washing themselves by the river, as if they had never seen each other before.
After a while, Chu Yanqiu's sensitive ears heard someone coming here from behind. Hu Chong, who was not far away, also heard it, and the two looked at each other.
Chu Yanqiu wiped his hands with the corner of his clothes and suddenly asked, "Where are your descendants? Are they so impatient to die?"
Hu Chong was not angry and said, "Isn't your friend also seeking death? Yesterday, a large number of soldiers wanted to encircle and suppress him."
Chu Yanqiu said, "How about this, I'll help you find your descendants, and you help me find my friend, and if you encounter other ungrateful people, you can just deal with them, how about that?"
Hu Chong looked at Chu Yanqiu. He knew that this was a concession made by this madman. He was intentionally letting his children and grandchildren go. Hu Chong said, "It seems that your friend is really important to you. Although you don't care about killing people, you still understand the martial arts world. So it's settled."
The chaotic footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer, but when they saw two burly men by the river, those people retreated again.
Hu Chong smiled slightly and said, "It seems that I guessed right. The group of people behind you are the soldiers who are chasing your friend."
Chu Yanqiu picked up the sword and the Heaven-shaking Sword in his hands, turned around and headed in the direction where the group of people were running.
Hu Chong suddenly had the idea of joining in the fun, so he stood up and followed Chu Yanqiu.
Hu Chong walked step by step. He was not in a hurry. He knew Chu Yanqiu's strength very well. It would not take much effort for him to kill those officers and soldiers.
Just when Hu Chong walked a mile, Chu Yanqiu came back. He threw the living person in his hand to the ground.
It was indeed a soldier. He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He was like a frightened puppy. He was whimpering and his legs and feet were out of control and he ran a few steps randomly.
Chu Yanqiu kicked the soldier in the back and asked, "You still don't behave after this, do you want to die?"
The soldier trembled and said, "No... I dare not..."
Chu Yanqiu asked, "Why were you running so fast just now? Where were you going?"
The soldier was a man who could not hide his secrets, but he was afraid that he would die if he told them, so he raised his head hesitantly and looked at Chu Yanqiu.
Chu Yanqiu glared at him and asked, "Do you want to die?"
The violent anger almost sent him straight to hell. He swallowed back the request to live that he wanted to ask for. He immediately said, "To answer your question, sir, we received a clue that the person we were looking for was in a forest, so we ran to this forest to check. Who knew that we didn't see the person we were looking for, but saw you two, so we turned around and left. That's what happened..."
When Chu Yanqiu heard him say this, he knew that Shen Wen was in danger again, so he immediately chased after the other soldiers. He had to catch a useful spy and find out which forest Shen Wen was in order to save him.
Chu Yanqiu moved quickly and found the person quickly. He caught another tongue. This time the tongue pointed in a direction, which was indeed a forest. Shen Wen immediately jumped up and headed in that direction.
Hu Chong was injured in the martial arts competition and his internal strength was insufficient, so he was always a step behind and tried hard to follow behind Chu Yanqiu.
Chu Yanqiu, who had just landed at the edge of the woods, felt panic in his heart. He was an impatient person, and when he thought that his beloved might be in danger in the woods, he couldn't suppress the urge to kill. At this moment, he saw seven or eight soldiers about to break into the woods. Chu Yanqiu raised his sword and rushed over, killing all the soldiers. The other soldiers who came later were so scared that they ran away in panic.
Chu Yanqiu ran quickly into the woods.
Who knew that the forest was actually set up with an invisible barrier by the immortals, which trapped Chu Yanqiu. No matter how fast he ran, he was still at the same starting point in the blink of an eye. Chu Yanqiu was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
Hu Chong, who was a step slower behind, just happened to rush in. Due to the inertia of chasing, he bumped into Chu Yanqiu's back, and Chu Yanqiu almost went berserk.
Hu Chong was really afraid that this man would not kill the enemy but would hurt himself first due to his violent temper. He quickly said, "Calm down! Calm down! I think this is a formation. We can't get out just by violently destroying it. We should think of other ways now."
Chu Yanqiu was not willing to listen to his advice. He raised his sword and used all his internal strength to chop at the tree in front of him. Naturally, the invisible and flexible barrier not only bounced the force back, but also rushed straight towards the two of them. Fortunately, the two men dodged quickly, otherwise they would have been killed instantly by such a critical hit.
Hu Chong dodged in a panic, but was hit by the violent energy and flew out, hitting the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Hu Chong was relieved to have vomited. He grunted for a long time, pointed at Chu Yanqiu with a trembling finger and said, "You really killed me."
Chu Yanqiu didn't care about his life or death, he was just troubled about how to find the flaw in this formation.
Chu Yanqiu's ears were very sensitive. Although his vision was blocked by the barrier, he could still hear the sound of fighting not far away. The sound was filled with fear of being caught, angry curses, and smug and obscene laughter.
However... the curse words he used were quite novel and unique, a bit like the usual tone of his beloved wife.
Perhaps even he himself did not know at this moment that the bits and pieces of memories of his and Shen Wen's previous time together were inadvertently restored to him.
Hu Chong also heard a subtle voice.
It was the sound of a buzzing beetle flying. This sound was not a good experience for him, but at this moment and place, Hu Chong was full of joy.
He knew that the beetle was right above his head. Maybe in the next second, it would explode...
But just as he was beginning to fantasize, he looked around and saw a real drone beetle coming towards him.
Hu Chong smiled foolishly at it and said hello: "Hi! You always appear out of thin air like this, this is a bit unscientific."
The Beetle was a cold-blooded machine and naturally would not answer his question.
then……
then……
Several drone beetles were urgently activated in the woods, one... two... three...
Hu Chong looked at the swarm of beetles with his mouth open stupidly and drooling.
He suddenly wiped his mouth and said, "I understand now. The legend of using trees as a transportation hub is true. It turns out that the small beetle base is among the trees that can be seen everywhere!"
The beetle was buzzing around, which annoyed the ignorant Chu Yanqiu. In anger, he swung a sword and the tip of the sword hit the beetle.
"Hey! No!"
Hu Chong yelled.
There was a loud bang, and Chu Yanqiu was so scared that he hugged his head. When he looked up again, there were several more explosions. The huge impact shook the entire forest a few times, and then...
Not to mention what kind of formation it is, one third of the surrounding forest is already flat ground, and the view in front is wide open.
Hu Chong was greatly excited. It had been more than 20 years since he came into this world. The dusty memories seemed to have faded away. As he was painfully accepting this peaceful world day by day, he suddenly saw this great scene again. How could he not be excited?
Hu Chong got up from the ground, and he pulled Chu Yanqiu up as well, pointed ahead and laughed, "Let's go! This is what we call walking on flat ground!"
Chu Yanqiu, whose ears were still buzzing in confusion, was dragged by Hu Chong towards the depths of the woods.
Shen Wen, who was still being hunted at that time, was already unable to cope with it. He was wondering why a new batch of drone beetles had not appeared yet, even though he had already dispatched them from the space.
While he was distracted, a man who was originally chasing A Kun suddenly changed direction and attacked Shen Wen. The cold sword almost pierced Shen Wen's throat. Fortunately, Shen Wen turned his head to avoid it, and the tip of the sword just happened to pierce the big tree behind him.
Then, there were loud noises one after another, the earth shook, and everyone was shaken to the ground.
Shen Wen took the opportunity to get up and run.
Following closely behind, the four Old Sixes reacted the fastest. Without waiting for the disciples of the Immortal Sect to get up, they had already climbed up and ran away.
The four old men had a tacit understanding of carrying guns for many years, and they did not forget to count the number of people in their family while escaping, except for the black guy Gajigua.
Shen Wen's escape speed was not as fast as theirs, so he was just caught up by them and the few of them gathered together.
Ah Kun panted and said, "Don't worry about that bastard Gajigua. When I was besieged by those people just now, that bastard ran away without any justice. I saw him walking in the direction we are running now."
So everyone continued to flee.
