Somewhere in the dark forest, two young men were walking quickly through the shadows.

Both of them are dressed as scholars. One of them has a delicate appearance, with eyebrows like an ink painting and a face like a crown jade. He is Fang Xi, the "Bitter Sword" among the four skills of the Heart Sword.

The other person is tall and thin, with prominent cheekbones. He is also one of the Four Uniques, "Shocking Sword" Cao Rui.

The two walked side by side at extremely fast speeds, leaving strange sword marks wherever they passed.

These sword marks spread spontaneously and rapidly around, gradually blending into the shadows, as if looking for something...

I don't know how long it took, but Cao Rui, who was running quickly, suddenly stopped and frowned slightly.

Fang Xi had to stop after him, and asked with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?"

Cao Rui did not answer immediately, but stretched out his hand and lightly scratched the tree trunk next to him.

The bark was immediately torn open, revealing a dark interior that looked like flesh and blood.

At the same time, Cao Rui's third eye appeared on his forehead. He only glanced at the tree trunk, and a layer of light blue smoke actually appeared inside the tree trunk.

"Eh?" Fang Xi was stunned for a moment, then said: "This is... Taoist spiritual power?"

"Not bad!" Cao Rui nodded.

His "Shocking Eyes" are not only able to capture people's hearts, but they can also see the remnants of mana. Even a tiny bit of mana cannot escape his eyes.

"It seems that we are not the only ones in this dark forest...people from the Dao Alliance are also here!" Cao Rui said with a serious face.

After hearing this, Fang Xi thought thoughtfully: "Well... in the entire World Disaster Realm, only the Dark Forest is the most suitable place to recuperate. It's not surprising that people from the Dao Alliance come here. Maybe some of them are also injured."

"Having said that, don't be careless."

Cao Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "I always feel that this discussion of Taoism in the virtual realm is different from the past. After all, there is a blood feud between Taoism and Confucianism. We must be careful."

"Yeah." Fang Xi nodded.

"Can you still sense Fang Ping?" Cao Rui asked.

"No, there is unknown interference in the World Disaster Realm. Even we, brother and sister, can no longer sense each other. However, we both have family heirloom jade pendants, which can roughly determine each other's location."

Fang Xi said, taking out half of the jade pendant from the storage ring.

There is a ray of glow in the incomplete part of the jade pendant, which sinks into the void like a rope, pointing to a certain direction in the distance.

"It should be not far ahead." Fang Xi smiled.

"Very good." Cao Rui also had a smile on his face.

The four of them, Heart Sword, are brothers and sisters, and they would not have acted separately in this world-disastrous virtual world. However, as fate would have it, an undead storm suddenly appeared without any warning, and the four of them were scattered.

Fortunately, Fang Xi and Cao Rui reunited soon.

Since the location where they encountered the undead storm was not far from the dark forest, it was guessed that Fang Ping would probably come here.

Sure enough, after entering the dark forest, Fang Xi's jade pendant started to sense.

The two followed up all the way, not far from Fang Ping's accident.

"The virtual realm of the world is full of unknown danger. The four of us must not be separated. First find Master Fang, and then go to Master Duanmu."

"Um!"

The two did not stay again and continued to run forward, the speed was a little faster than before.

After about half an hour, there was a faint sound of fighting ahead.

Fang Xi's face changed slightly, and immediately stretched a sword tactic, gently scratched the fog in front of him.

"Give me!"

As the sword gas poured out, the fog that blocked the consciousness in front of it broke away, revealing a large number of empty places in the forest.

On the open space, a charming woman is being besieged by seven monsters.

"sister!"

The moment I saw the woman, Fang Xi's eyes showed a surprise.

This woman is Fang Ping, a "desire sword", one of the four must -have swords! As for those monsters who siege her, they are unique to the dark forest.

These spiritual bodies are like flowing water. They can integrate all things, have good strength, and never act alone. Every time they appear, they are in groups.

At this moment, Fang Ping used a enemy seven, and it was obviously unable to fight.

Fang Xi rushed up immediately when he saw this scene.

He and Fang Ping had been practicing together since he was a child. The two sisters and brothers were very deeply affectionate. This time, when he encountered a necromancer, Fang Ping was injured just to protect Fang Xi.

Seeing that her sister was siege by the sky, Fang Xi rushed into the battlefield without hesitation.

"Sister, I'll help you!"

Fang Xi ’s sword tactics were chopped to the nearest spirituality.

The response of the spirituality is also very fast, and it quickly entered the bottom of the ground. It didn't take long for it to come out of the ancient tree nearby.

"Fang Xi, I'm almost ..."

Fang Ping's voice in the fight was weak, her face was pale, and she couldn't support it.

When Fang Xi saw this, he was shocked.

He knew that Fang Ping was seriously injured in the Dead Storm, but now he has been attacked by seven spirits for so long. It is likely that the mana is bottomed out.

If Fang Ping's injury will be even more serious if he is attacked by Lingxu!

Thinking of this, Fang Xi did not hesitate at all. The "eight bitterness" sword light was stunned, and the Tianxu of the road was forced back one by one, and then rushed to Fang Ping's position.

At the same time, Cao Rui also arrived at the battlefield.

But he did not join the battle immediately, but jumped into a nearby ancient tree, settled high, and looked down at the entire battlefield.

"strangeness……"

Cao Rui squinted his eyes slightly, and a doubt flashed in his eyes.

"Although the strength of these spirituality is not weak, why did not use their destiny magical powers to attack only with brute force?"

Cao Rui discovered doubts, opened his forehead "Scared Eye", and swept to the nearest day of the day.

The next moment, his face changed greatly!

"Fang Xi, be careful!"

Cao Rui's loud shout echoed through the forest.

At this moment, Fang Xi was less than ten feet away from Fang Ping.

Although he desperately wanted to rescue Fang Ping, because of his trust in Cao Rui, he subconsciously stopped and did not get closer.

At this moment, Fang Ping rolled her eyes, revealing strange red pupils.

"hey-hey."

A sinister laughter came from Fang Ping's mouth, like an evil ghost who had been trapped for thousands of years, and his voice was full of resentment!

At the same time, a scarlet glow spurted out from her mouth at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of Fang Xi in an instant.

Such a close distance and a sudden attack, even Fang Xi couldn't react.

He only had time to create a layer of protective spiritual light, but it couldn't block the scarlet glow. In an instant, his defense was torn open and he passed through his chest!

"Well..."

Fang Xi groaned and knelt down on one knee.

Before he could react, the seven "Lingxu" around him all changed their appearance. They no longer looked like flowing water. Their whole bodies became as black as ink, and they were shaped like apes, with their arms extremely long.

"Phantom ghost?"

Cao Rui from a distance recognized it at a glance. This was the "phantom ghost" recorded in Xuanling Cave's "Heart Sutra for Controlling Ghosts"!

"My good brother, you are already here, why do you stop? Come to my sister quickly!"

Fang Ping chuckled and raised her finger towards Fang Xi.

Her voice was no different from usual, even her breath was exactly the same, but her eyes were scarlet and looked very weird!

After Fang Xi heard this, her consciousness felt as if someone had hit her hard, and her eyes showed confusion.

"Fang Xi, don't listen to her!"

Cao Rui's loud shout came from the woods, like thunder on the ground, waking Fang Xi out of her brief confusion.

At the same time, a sword light rushed from behind, almost grazing Fang Xi's back.

Fang Xi woke up instantly.

He did not dodge and allowed the sword pill to pass by him.

The next moment, a shrill ghost scream came from the left side. It turned out that the nearest "Phantom Ghost" was hit by the sword pill and was split in half instantly.

"We have fallen into a trap, let's retreat first!"

Cao Rui was very decisive and secretly sent a message to Fang Xi.
