Chapter 2300: Chapter 2301: Battle Under the Moon (Second Update)
Smart guy.
Actually knows how to use dropped supplies to set traps.
Because Xue An had this kind of thread too, which fell when he killed soldiers from other families.
This discovery instantly alerted Xue An.
So those odd little items dropped could be used like this!
Even Xue An had to admire this guy lurking in the darkness.
Not to mention anything else, just this sharpness isn’t something ordinary people can match.
Xue An didn’t follow that thread to find his hiding place.
Because Xue An knew very well, since this person could set up such a clever trap, he must have thought of this point already.
There might even be a possibility that this discovery is also a trap to lure himself to show up.
Xue An had patience, so he could quietly wait it out.
As for finding supplies...
Xue An knew very well that if he couldn’t win in this shadow sniping battle, then even if he found supplies, he couldn’t hold onto them.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon, a bright moon rose in the sky.
Though it was called a bright moon, it was much larger than the moon, hanging in the sky like a giant eye coldly looking down at the world.
The chilling glow made the dense forest increasingly eerie.
In the distance, the purple mist atop the mountain became denser and started spreading towards the forest.
Xue An’s heart grew ever calmer.
He could even hear the giant tree underfoot slowly growing in the moonlight.
Suddenly!
Not far from the giant tree under Xue An’s feet, the shadow slightly swayed.
And in the instant the shadow swayed, Xue An, who had been standing with closed eyes at the top of the tree, abruptly lifted his gaze, eyes bright as the moon, then disappeared in a blink, appearing close to that shadow.
It all happened at the peak of speed!
Not only that, just as Xue An appeared in front of the shadow, his hair and eyes rose, and a burst of sword light exploded in his hand, stabbing straight ahead.
The brilliant sword light dispelled the darkness, illuminating the shadow’s face.
It was a man wearing a fierce mask, seemingly just a youth judging by his stature.
In his eyes, Xue An read a hint of helplessness.
Ka!
The sword light, like water, slashed down, instantly shattering the mask on the youth’s face with a powerful sword intent, revealing a clean and pretty face beneath.
The sword tip pressed against the youth’s brow, and just the throbbing sword intent had already severed his fine hairs.
Yet, apart from that, Xue An’s hand was as steady as a mountain, not further stabbing down.
The youth, who had thought himself sure to die, couldn’t help but freeze, then lifted his gaze to look at Xue An.
"Why didn’t you kill me?" The youth’s voice was somewhat immature, yet it held no fear.
Xue An quietly watched him, then spoke, "Song Family?"
"Yes! Song Family descendant Song Yuze, are you the Yue Family’s new Commander-in-Chief?" Song Yuze asked.
Xue An smiled, not responding to his words, just calmly saying, "Did you set this trap?"
"That’s right!" Song Yuze’s face showed a hint of pride, but then turned gloomy.
"If only there was more time, I wouldn’t have been detected by you!"
Sighing, he said, "Go ahead, I, a Song Family man, would never surrender!"
"Who said I want to kill you?"
"Hmm?" Song Yuze lifted his head suddenly, looking at Xue An in disbelief.
"You have talent, and the Bing Family lacks people like you; it would be too bad for you to die like this!"
Saying this, the sword light in Xue An’s hand dissipated, then he turned away and left, leaving Song Yuze standing there alone.
Until Xue An was about to disappear from sight, he suddenly awakened and shouted loudly.
"Thank you!"
Xue An smiled, without turning his head, disappearing into the vast forest.
The moonlight grew stronger, and the slaughter in the dense forest reached a climax.
Soldiers from the nine families engaged in a melee in this dense forest.
At this time, people had torn off all their usual disguises, wanting only to kill their opponents with bloodshot eyes.
Gu Wangya, of course, was no exception.
Her armor was already stained with blood, and her heroic face rarely showed a trace of fatigue.
This brutal battle was a stringent challenge for soldiers from various families who hadn’t been to the battlefield for a long time.
Especially for the Gu Clan.
After all, all the soldiers of the Gu Clan were women.
This naturally put them at a disadvantage.
But fortunately, they had been trying to avoid direct confrontation, wandering around the edges of the battlefield, finding ways to preserve strength, keeping their losses at a minimum.
Despite this, Gu Wangya now felt deeply tired, and her soldiers had reached their limit.
"All units rest for three minutes!"
"Yes!"
All the soldiers of the Gu Clan immediately collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily to regain strength.
Gu Wangya had no time to rest, as she needed to quickly scout the surroundings during this precious time to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Quickly, she reached the dense forest nearby.
Everything was peaceful here, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Gu Wangya turned past a towering tree, stepping forward.
But just as her foot crossed the tree’s canopy, an odd noise suddenly came from below.
The sound was extremely faint, yet in Gu Wangya’s ears, it was like thunder.
Because at that moment, she faintly heard the sound of an array activating.
What’s going on?
What is this trick?
And just when she felt her scalp tingle, a rune on the giant tree behind her invisibly formed, then condensed into a sword light silently stabbing at Gu Wangya.
Gu Wangya was completely unaware of this until the sword light was about to touch her. She sensed the killing intent and bent her waist at a nearly impossible angle.
The sword light grazed past her spine.
Zs!
A crisp sound, the sharp sword light slit her upper armor in two like a hot knife cutting butter.
Moreover, the fierce sword intent shattered her clothes underneath, revealing a flawless bare back.
Gu Wangya screamed, not caring about shyness, twisting her body to see who issued this sword.
After all, just a moment ago, she sensed an icy sharp sword intent.
Yet then, she heard a soft sigh.
"Forget it, I’ll let you go!"
Instantly, the killing intent receded like a tide.
Gu Wangya stared blankly at the pale figure disappearing under the moon, filled with confusion.
This guy... isn’t he the Yue Family’s new Commander-in-Chief?
Why... did he suddenly let me go?
Suddenly, she shivered violently, realizing she was bare-chested, and shrieked in surprise, hurriedly hiding in the shadow behind the tree.
