Chapter 312: Hidden Enemy

Liu Xiaolou went up to Wulong Mountain at the age of eight, grew up under the influence of the Wulong Mountain fellow Daoists, and supported the sect alone for more than ten years. He had experienced countless battles. Encountering a sneak attack, his reaction was much higher than that of ordinary noble family children. He just simply took a step forward, letting the cold arrow miss, and when he turned around, the Three Mystical Sword had already flown out, slashing toward the attacker.

When the arrow feathers of the cold arrow were still trembling on the soil, the Three Mystical Sword had already flown behind a peach tree, slashing into empty air.

Liu Xiaolou stared, and there was no one behind the peach tree. If it were before Foundation Establishment, perhaps he would think his flying sword had slashed wrongly, but at the moment the other party shot the arrow, his spiritual sense perceived a trace of clues, and he determined that the attacker was behind the tree.

Although the Three Mystical Sword slashed into empty air, the suddenly generated five sword rays spread out like vines toward all sides. Two of them suddenly entangled something, and the remaining three also immediately wrapped around it, suddenly wrapping up a human figure.

Only then did Liu Xiaolou finally see the attacker clearly. This person was wearing a soft armor, hiding behind the tree, and was exactly the same as the scenery around him. If it weren't for being entangled by the Three Mystical Sword rays, the naked eye would not be able to distinguish it at all.

The Three Mystical Sword rays brushed across this person's soft armor, making a creaking sound, which made people's teeth ache, but it could never break this soft armor. After a few back-and-forth movements, it was suddenly broken free by this person and disappeared into the forest again.

The other party was not only a Foundation Establishment cultivator but also wore soft armor that could hide his figure, which was truly difficult to deal with!

Liu Xiaolou focused all his attention on perceiving every movement within ten zhang around him. This was also the maximum range he reached in spiritual sense perception after Foundation Establishment, reaching a subtle level.

But this soft armor of the other party was obviously quite miraculous, and it actually had a certain shielding ability against spiritual sense perception!

Liu Xiaolou controlled the Three Mystical Sword to sweep horizontally and horizontally at the place where the enemy had just escaped, and also extended five sword rays to probe all around, but found nothing. So he expanded the range, slashing trees one by one until they broke, and the leaves fell like rain.

Suddenly, a cold light lit up from the rear side, which was captured by the corner of Liu Xiaolou's eye. It was another long arrow shot by the enemy.

He did not know when, but the enemy had already hidden ten zhang away.

Liu Xiaolou had not yet learned the pure flying sword method. The Three Mystical Sword was not a real flying sword. At this distance, he could not pursue the long arrow along its path. In a hurry, he went to block the arrow light, but he didn't even catch up with the arrow tail.

The long arrow arrived in the blink of an eye. Liu Xiaolou had to strike an object in a hurry. It was the high-level artifact Glazed Shield that he had relied on to save his life. This artifact captured from Tianmu Mountain was truly good, instantly brushing out water-water-like glazed brilliance, "ding," just blocking the long arrow, avoiding the ending of his butt being shot.

Liu Xiaolou leaped forward. Although he couldn't see the other party's figure, he estimated a rough hiding range of the enemy and threw out the Lin Yuan Xuan Stone array plate, covering that area in the array.

The array plate had just been successfully set up, and it was immediately taken back by him. For nothing else, the array missed, and the enemy was not in the array.

Immediately after, the two long arrows just shot by the enemy flew out of the mud and tree trunk respectively, shooting toward Liu Xiaolou again. Liu Xiaolou immediately perceived the danger, true essence circulated, forcibly lifted up, leaped to more than six zhang high, stood on the treetop, and swayed lightly with the wind.

After the two long arrows missed, they crossed and passed, and then the arrowheads turned sharply upward, shooting toward Liu Xiaolou on the treetop.

This is the artifact that has truly been nurtured in the Qi Sea, connected with the owner's heart, and used like an arm—whether it is an arrow or something else, it is usually called a "flying sword."

Liu Xiaolou immediately fell from the treetop. When he was about to land, he flew out horizontally close to the ground like a bird, hiding behind a pile of messy stones.

At the same time, he also put on the Hidden Form Jade Pendant. Although he could not hide his figure like the enemy, it was good to be able to hide his aura, at least preventing the enemy's long arrows from shooting accurately.

Moreover, if the enemy was far enough away from him, and his actions this time were fast enough and hidden enough, maybe he could hide from the enemy's eyes?

It was a pity that his actions were still in the enemy's eyes. The two long arrows separated left and right, each resting between a tree branch, the arrow feathers still trembling slightly, the arrowheads pointing at the stone pile, ready to move again at any time.

Fighting to this step, Liu Xiaolou judged that the enemy was definitely not a Qingyuan Sect disciple, because both he and Liu Xiaolou were trying their best to suppress the power of their moves to prevent being perceived by the Qingyuan Sect.

Since that was the case...

Liu Xiaolou took out a bone flute, controlled the sound, and with the sound of the flute, a group of light and shadow drifted out of the flute, soon showing a leopard body, and in the blink of an eye, it changed from virtual to real, becoming a spiritual leopard.

Of course, its essence was still a leopard shadow. It was just that after Liu Xiaolou reached Foundation Establishment, it condensed from a virtual shadow into a real shadow. Besides the virtual and real changes of the figure, it naturally had a few more methods that a spiritual leopard should have, such as hunting in the jungle.

This was also what Liu Xiaolou just thought of. Since he couldn't see the enemy's hiding place, he would let the spiritual leopard out to try. He had raised this leopard for six years, so he would see how the beast's quality was.

After the spiritual leopard was released from the flute, it immediately leaped onto the tallest locust tree beside it and sniffed all around with its nose.

The enemy obviously realized something was wrong. The two long arrows shot directly at the spiritual leopard on the tree. The spiritual leopard rolled its long tail and slapped one of the long arrows away, but the other one was too late to dodge. Just as it was about to be shot in the abdomen by the long arrow, it saw a yellow umbrella suddenly open beside it, blocking this long arrow.

It was the mid-level artifact Yellow Sand Umbrella that Liu Xiaolou had just captured from a Qingyuan Sect disciple. Although it was shot by this arrow until its color became somewhat dark, faintly showing a tendency to turn from yellow to black, it was good that it blocked it. It was just that the other party's true essence was strong and the flying arrow was agile, which was also reflected in this arrow. Liu Xiaolou, who opened the umbrella, knew even more clearly that this Yellow Sand Umbrella could block at most two more arrows before it would collapse!

At the same time the second arrow was blocked, the spiritual leopard leaped from the locust tree and pounced directly toward the left hand!

Liu Xiaolou followed closely behind, crossing a distance of more than ten zhang in two breaths, rushing toward a nondescript slope.

That slope suddenly moved. It was the enemy hiding here.

The spiritual leopard had already pounced in front of the enemy...

A halo spread out in all directions. Vaguely, Liu Xiaolou only felt that the already dim dense forest became even dimmer, and the pouncing spiritual leopard let out a "whimper," seemingly injured in its two front paws by an unknown artifact, and bounced back behind Liu Xiaolou, looking at the front like a mottled mud shadow with some fear.

The enemy must have a treasure like the Glazed Shield, and it seemed to have more counterattack methods than the Glazed Shield.

But it didn't matter, as long as the person was found!

Liu Xiaolou did not say a word and directly used his big move. The Lin Yuan Xuan Stone array flew out, immediately circling the enemy into the array.

After entering the array, this mottled mud shadow immediately began to escape.

This person first appeared in the pavilion, his figure swayed, and he merged with the pavilion. Looking at the pavilion, the railings were railings, the chairs were chairs, and the pillars were pillars, just a little thicker. People who didn't know would really be deceived.

Then he turned over and left the pavilion, sneaking into the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest that had been re-refined and upgraded had dozens of tall and dense emerald bamboos and had already formed a scale. After this person drilled in, there were more bamboo branches, bamboo leaves, and bamboo shoots in the forest...

This soft armor was truly extraordinary. The hiding effect was incredible and admirable, which made people greedy. But the array was controlled by Liu Xiaolou. No matter how the enemy changed, he had nowhere to hide, which only made Liu Xiaolou smile.

After hiding in the bamboo forest for a while, this person finally realized something and sighed, walking out.

He looked up and shouted: "A mere small array, does your Excellency think you can do anything to me? Just wait for me to break it!"

Liu Xiaolou did not answer and went all out to control the array.

This was the first time he had trapped a Foundation Establishment cultivator with an array. Judging from the perception of the fight just now, this person's true essence was far stronger than his own. Even if he was not a mid-stage Foundation Establishment, he was at least an old Foundation Establishment of more than ten years—relative to himself. Therefore, he did not dare to be careless at all about this array control. ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
