New and dark light years

Chapter 210 Paper Doll Formation
Using paper as arrows or swords, as hard as metal and stone, is nothing unusual.

Any martial artist who can condense vital energy can do it.

Just like their Qingcheng Sect, at least twenty of them can do it.

But the other party is a paper figure.

The paper-crafting technique is an evil art, only heard of for ambushes and frightening people, but these seem to have considerable combat power.

Ji Feng looked at the paper arrow that had fallen not far away, his expression somewhat solemn.

Should we continue forward?
Since there are paper figures guarding it, it means there must be something important ahead that requires so many paper figures to protect it.

As long as you keep moving forward, you may reap great rewards.

However, it is also highly likely that they will encounter a tough opponent and be defeated here.

At that moment, the paper figures of swordsmen, shieldmen, and spearmen stepped forward in unison.

The force didn't seem very strong, but because it was a dummy, it didn't feel like a living person. It was still pinkish-purple, which made it look very intimidating.

"Husband!" The middle-aged woman tugged at his sleeve, indicating that he needed to make a decision immediately.

Ji Feng looked back at his wife. Liu Fang, a beauty who was once quite famous in the martial arts world, was still beautiful even though she had entered middle age.

He looked at the paper army closing in and said, "Go!"

Upon hearing this, the Qingcheng Sect immediately pounced on them.

In their minds, what does it matter how threatening the paper figures are?

After all, it's just a paper figure.

Ji Feng, wielding a fine iron sword, charged ahead.

He slashed out with his sword, carrying considerable energy.

The iron sword slashed through the paper shields of two swordsmen, but when it reached the paper shield of the third swordsman, it only left a scratch.

He was startled, and then jumped back suddenly.

Three paper guns pierced him, but luckily he retreated quickly, otherwise he would have been stabbed with three holes.

The three shots were arranged in a triangular pattern, targeting the head and the left and right chests respectively.

They were clearly well-trained soldiers.

However, paper figures cannot have any training experience; that is to say, the gun-fighting instincts of these paper figures come from their creators.

'That marksmanship...'

"It's the Yu family's spear formation!" Ji Feng shouted hurriedly. "Everyone, retreat and flank from the left and right. Don't face the enemy head-on."

The Qingcheng Sect members reacted quickly, immediately retreating and then circling around to the left and right.

However, one disciple with slightly weaker skills was struck down by the third-grade spear formation and his fate was unknown.

Ji Feng frowned.

Liu Fang leaped over from the side and whispered, "Husband, these paper figures are amazing! They don't seem like ordinary paper-making skills. Are there any people in the martial arts world who have such amazing paper-making skills?"

"He doesn't seem like a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world), but rather like a soldier, the kind who has been in battle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the paper soldiers with swords and shields changed formation.

They quickly formed a circular formation, with spearmen facing outwards and archers protected at the innermost part.

The sword-and-shield soldiers and spearmen crouched down almost simultaneously, forming a circular shield-and-spear formation. The Qingcheng Sect disciples who rushed forward were unable to break through and were driven back by the sword-and-shield formation and the barrage of spears.

They took a few steps back, and just as they regained their footing, another volley of paper arrows came flying at them.

After a series of clanging sounds, thirty paper arrows fell to the ground.

Although no one from the Qingcheng Sect was injured this time, they knew from looking at the military formation ahead that it would be very difficult to break through.

How about going around from the left or right sides?

The idea that paper figures move slowly sounds feasible, but those paper archers who can shoot arrows are not to be underestimated.

If you try to pass by, they will definitely shoot you.

And who knows if there are other paper doll formations lying in ambush ahead? What if there are?

If we're attacked from both sides, things will become very complicated.

Thinking of this, Ji Feng shouted fiercely, "Retreat first!"

Upon hearing this, the Qingcheng Sect members immediately withdrew, taking with them the bodies of the two disciples.

The paper figures didn't give chase; instead, they retreated a distance and remained on high alert. Just as Ji Feng withdrew from the woods, he saw An Xin's Tianyi Sect also retreating.

He was somewhat angry and walked over to ask, "Young Master An, when did you come out?"

An Xin laughed and said, "When I saw those paper figures."

"Why?"

“Those paper figures have some connection with my faction.”

Ji Feng looked at them, his expression turning sharp: "Are you playing me? You're the ones who said there's something wrong with this paper figure."

“Yes, but that was before I saw what the paper figure looked like.” Anxin said apologetically, “But after seeing the paper figure, I realized that I had made a mistake.”

"whats the matter?"

“Since it’s about seeking immortality, how could he not come?”

Ji Feng said angrily, "You have to give me an explanation."

“I can apologize to Sect Leader Ji, and from now on, my sect will no longer be involved in this matter.”

Ji Feng was taken aback: "You're withdrawing?"

“Yes.” An Xin nodded: “As a friend, I also want to remind Sect Leader Ji: This time the waters are very deep. If your Qingcheng Sect is not good at swimming, there is a possibility of drowning.”

"What do you mean?"

An Xin said, "Since the person I know has gotten involved, there must be a big reason behind this. Have you thought about why the news of the Jade Linglong has spread in the martial arts world? Qin Donglai is a general under the King of Qin. Is it possible that we martial arts people can get our hands on such a divine object? Is it possible that he wants to lure out certain people?"

"I think you're overthinking it."

An Xin shook his head: "We in Tianyi Sect don't act recklessly unless we're 80% sure. Now that we're leaving, Sect Leader Ji, take care of yourself, and we'll meet again."

After saying this, An Xin waved his hand and left with his disciples.

Ji Feng looked out at the dark forest in the moonlight. It was silent, but occasionally screams would suddenly rise up.

He glanced at Anxin, who had already gone far away, then at the woods, and said, "Let's leave for a while and go in when they've fought enough."

Liu Fang, the sect leader's wife, who was standing next to him, breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Ji Feng suddenly looked behind them, where there was also a small grove of trees.

"who is it!"

He demanded an answer in a stern voice.

More than twenty men in black came out.

Although their faces were not clearly visible, they were all large and imposing, clearly skilled in external martial arts.

Ji Feng stared at the other person's steps for a while, then suddenly said, "Shaolin Temple!"

'Good. '

The man in black at the front gently clasped his hands together and said, "Sect Leader Ji has excellent eyesight."

"It really is you, Master Kurong!"

The man in black slowly said, "I am me, yet I am not me!"

"You Buddhists are supposed to be pure of heart and free from desires, so how come you're tempted by divine weapons? Your cultivation is lacking."

The man in black laughed and said, "Cultivation is nothing to do with anything. It's just that Buddha once said that this place has a connection with Buddha."

"Since we're destined to meet... why don't you just rob us instead of blocking our way!"

“You also have a connection with Buddha.”

The man in black only revealed his eyes, but they were filled with murderous intent.

"Qingcheng disciples, be on alert!"

The sound of longswords being drawn echoed throughout the room.

At that moment, another group of people emerged from the nearby woods.

It was the Taoist Xuanfengzi.

"Master Kurong, it's been a long time," he said with a smile.

The two groups, one in front and one behind, sandwiched the Qingcheng Sect in the middle.
