Immortal Martial God

Chapter 2297 Ambush

It was night, and it rained heavily.

Outside Jiaoyue City, there was a hazy forest.

Thunder roared in the sky, and lightning burst forth, making this forest look even more ferocious and terrifying.

From Jiaoyue City, there was only one path to the outside world. This was a deep canyon.

This was the only place for the Divine Envoy's convoy to pass through. It was also the best place to set up an ambush. Once the Divine Envoy's convoy left this mysterious forest, the sky would be high and the birds would fly.

The origins of this forest were enormous, and both the God Race and the outsiders were extremely fearful of it.

At this moment, at the top of the cliff on the left bank of the canyon, Xiang Nan, Guan Xiao, Luo Sheng, and Lan Ling were lying in the dense black grass.

Guan Xiao released the Silence Technique, releasing a long black gas that wrapped around the four of them, unable to be sensed. This was one of the best ways to hide.

It was raining heavily, and the dense rain screen caused the four of them to be severely blocked from their line of sight.

The cold rain of Laws landed on their bodies, causing the four of them to feel a bone-chilling chill.

Although the four of them were already wearing the special bamboo hats and raincoats given by the Nature Temple, they still trembled occasionally.

Rain of Laws is a peculiar phenomenon in the real world. It is not the same as ordinary rainfall, but a serious imbalance of laws in a certain region, resulting in the collapse of water elements.

Large amounts of water elements collapsed into water droplets, continuously falling from the sky.

When humans were contaminated by the raindrops of Laws, the structure of the five elements in their bodies would also change. The water elements would be filled with the rain of Laws, and they would begin to occupy the original proportions.

At this moment, the water elements in Xiang Nan and the others' bodies had already reached an unusually active level. The side effect was cold.

They could only use their powerful bodies to resist the rain of Laws, but they still couldn't stay for long. Once they exceeded 24 hours, the water elements in their bodies would dominate the other elemental components, eventually causing the four of them to dissolve.

Guan Xiao's face was pale and trembling non-stop. The rain followed the arc of her beautiful cheeks and dripped into the grass.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan shifted his body and used his strong chest to press Guan Xiao to the ground, gently hugging her.

Guan Xiao's face was pale as she turned around and smiled sweetly at Xiang Nan.

Although Xiang Nan did not say a word, she could feel the silent love coming from Xiang Nan.

The four of them were enduring it. In fact, if they were to protect their bodies with the Sun Qi, they could expel the chill. However, if the Sun Qi shone, their bodies would be exposed.

The Art of Silence was incapable of perceiving it, but it was able to see that this was one of its greatest shortcomings.

Guan Xiao tried her best to flip her body over, making herself lie flat, facing Xiang Nan, hugging Xiang Nan's neck, crossing her legs at Xiang Nan's waist, entangling Xiang Nan like an octopus.

Blue Spirit took out a scroll from her bosom and opened it. She said, "Take a look at the clues given by the intelligence personnel. About this forest, about God being a convoy."

This scroll described in detail what Xiang Nan and the others might encounter.

The first was this forest. It could be said to be a land of great viciousness, even for the Divine Realm.

The origin of this forest is not simple. It is called the Etheric Forest.

Before the Goddess of Life and the God of Thunder appeared, this divine realm world already had life forms. However, they were very different from the life forms that humans usually recognized. Moreover, they were extremely dangerous. In this Etheric Forest, there was such a strange group of creatures.

It's called the etheric ghost.

The ether was one of the strongest objects in the world. It was a rigid particle, but under normal conditions, it was extremely thin, so that it could penetrate through it at will. Even an ordinary person could easily pass through a cluster of etheric particles without being able to sense any obstruction.

However, the Etheric Ghost was a spiritual body formed from etheric particles. Normally, such things were like clusters of etheric particles, invisible and intangible, but they possessed hazy consciousness.

Once intense large-scale battles took place in the region where the etheric spirits resided, the group of etheric spirits would awaken irregularly.

When their minds condensed, their body frames would take shape, becoming observable and touchable etheric spirits. Even the God Race would be afraid of such things.

This was something that the four of them had to pay attention to in the Etheric Forest.

The second was the convoy of Divine Envoys.

The storage ring was a very low-level spatial carrier. When a martial artist reached the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, they could destroy the storage ring at will. There was no need to kill the owner of the storage ring.

Obviously, such a thing was not suitable for transporting valuables.

In the Divine Realm, there was such a sacred artifact called the "Divine Sword".

It was indeed a kind of sword, but it was not used to attack. Instead, it was a powerful carrier. Similarly, this kind of sacred sword was similar to the storage ring, so it had to be recognized as its owner.

Unless the holder of the Sacred Sword died or took the initiative to open the gap in the Sacred Sword, the contents of the Sacred Sword could not be taken out.

The existence of the Etheric Ghost and the Sacred Sword had caused Xiang Nan and the others to be unable to forcefully attack the convoy and had to ambush them.

Blue Spirit lowered her voice and said, "After the convoy arrives, we must kill the Holy Sword Holder in one strike!"

"Seize the Sacred Sword in the shortest amount of time and leave quickly. It is best not to engage in large-scale battles with the Divine Envoy convoy, so as to avoid awakening the Etheric Ghost."

"Who will carry out this mission?"

"I'll do it." Luo Sheng said.

After thinking for a while, Xiang Nan shook his head and rejected, saying, "You should be able to make sure that you hit 100 times, but your Sun Qi is not outstanding. You may not be able to kill him in one blow."

"As far as I can see, the only mission of the Holy Sword's holder is to survive and protect the Holy Sword. Therefore, this kind of Divine Envoy must specialize in defense."

Lan Ling nodded and said, "Xiang Nan is right. In order to be safe, Guan Xiao must complete this mission. Her Light of Tearing is the first choice."

At this point, everyone looked at Guan Xiao with serious eyes.

Another problem arose. Guan Xiao's shooting rate was not high.

If the target was like a living target, Guan Xiao could definitely hit 100 targets. Not only her, even an excellent archer could easily accomplish it.

However, Divine Envoys were not dead creatures. They would dodge. Moreover, the God Race possessed the power of thunder and lightning. Once they discovered the danger, they could even dodge at the speed of ultra-light!

This required a very, very shocking prediction.

Amongst the four, only Xiang Nan and Luo Sheng were capable of such heaven-defying predictions.

Xiang Nan pondered for a moment and said, "In this way, Luo Sheng will be in charge of assisting Guan Xiao in a while. Luo Sheng will designate the attack route to ensure that the Sacred Sword of Death is possessed."

"The moment I attack at the same time, I will rush into the convoy and snatch away the Sacred Sword. Blue Spirit will be responsible for cutting off the rear."
