Dual Cultivation: A Carefree Journey Through Another World, the Empress Falls into My Hands

However, at this moment, Chu Yunfan had already turned around and naturally saw the three darts flying towards him.

In a flash, Chu Yunfan crouched down, dodging the three darts.

Chu Yunfan then rolled away from the spot.

Because the weeds on the ground were quite tall, Wang Dali and his companions lost sight of Chu Yunfan for a moment.

Of course, Chu Yunfan did not spot Wang Dali and the others, but he knew roughly where the enemy was.

Then, the air suddenly became quiet.

Neither Chu Yunfan nor Wang Dali wanted to launch an attack rashly without knowing the other's location, lest they expose their own positions.

A moment later, just as Wang Dali was about to urge the dark-skinned, thin young man to make the first move, suddenly, a fist-sized poisonous spider covered in black and white stripes fell from above his head.

However, just as the poisonous spider was about to land on Wang Dali's head, the dark-skinned, thin young man next to him suddenly made a move, and a dart flew out instantly, pinning the poisonous spider to a tree nearby.

Hearing the noise, Wang Dali turned his head and was instantly terrified.

He hadn't noticed the venomous spider at all. If the skinny young man hadn't intervened in time and been bitten by the spider, he might have ended up seeing his great-grandmother.

However, while the dark-skinned, thin young man resolved Wang Dali's crisis, he also created a disturbance and exposed his own location.

On the other side, Chu Yunfan's face lit up with joy, and he immediately gripped the crossbow with both hands and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, two arrows shot out, heading straight for the dark-skinned, thin youth.

As a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect, the dark-skinned, thin young man's strength was naturally far superior to that of an ordinary ninth-level Martial Arts cultivator like Ma Dadan.

He held the sword in his right hand and tapped it twice in front of him.

Then, with two "clinking" sounds, the two arrows that Chu Yunfan had shot fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, Chu Yunfan was about to give chase when a greenish-blue venomous snake suddenly darted out from the nearby bushes and bit his calf.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan had no choice but to abandon his attack on the dark-skinned, thin youth and instead shot the poisonous snake that had ambushed him with an arrow.

Meanwhile, the dark-skinned, thin youth, seeing that Chu Yunfan had stopped attacking, guessed, though he didn't know why, that something must have happened to Chu Yunfan.

He then leaped onto a nearby tree, hoping to use his height advantage to find Chu Yunfan.

Sure enough, as soon as he climbed the tree, he spotted Chu Yunfan.

However, man proposes, God disposes. Just as he was about to launch a sneak attack on Chu Yunfan, a poisonous spider, even larger than the one before, bit his neck from behind.

The dark-skinned, thin youth reacted quickly, sensing the danger just before the poisonous spider was about to bite him, and managed to evade the sneak attack.

Of course, this is how Chu Yunfan discovered his whereabouts.

"It's him!"

Chu Yunfan recognized the dark-skinned, thin young man at a glance.

He never expected that his opponent would actually track him down to outside the Qingyun Sword Sect, wanting to kill him.

"I was too naive before, thinking there was still room for reconciliation between fellow disciples."

It seems that this is ultimately a world where the strong prey on the weak.

"Killing is as simple as eating!"

Chu Yunfan's face turned cold, and he immediately fired a crossbow bolt.

This time, the dark-skinned, thin young man managed to evade him once again.

Moreover, the dark-skinned, thin young man took the opportunity to move closer to Chu Yunfan.

As he drew near, three darts flew from his left hand.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan jumped onto a nearby tree, dodging the three darts.

At this moment, the dark-skinned, thin youth moved closer to him again, continuing to attack with darts.

Because the dark-skinned, thin young man attacked too quickly, Chu Yunfan didn't have time to retaliate and could only continue to dodge the opponent's dart attacks.

The dark-skinned, thin youth was significantly faster than Chu Yunfan. By the time Chu Yunfan was dodging his darts, he had already gradually caught up with Chu Yunfan.

Just as Chu Yunfan dodged the dart once again, the dark-skinned, thin youth did not continue to use darts to sneak attack. Instead, he lunged forward and instantly appeared beside Chu Yunfan, a sharp sword light flashing in Chu Yunfan's eyes.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan also took out his Xuan Tie sword, intending to block the sword.

However, just as Chu Yunfan's Xuan Tie sword was about to make contact with the dark-skinned youth's longsword, the dark-skinned youth suddenly flicked his wrist, and the longsword instantly turned, bypassing Chu Yunfan's Xuan Tie sword and stabbing towards his chest.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan had no time to defend himself.

Fortunately, he was wearing inner armor from Eagle Nine Claws.

A crisp sound of impact rang out as the dark-skinned, thin youth's sword stopped at Chu Yunfan's chest, unable to penetrate even a millimeter.

The dark-skinned, thin young man was immediately taken aback.

Taking advantage of the moment when the dark-skinned, thin young man was stunned, Chu Yunfan stabbed the young man in the chest with his Xuan Tie sword.

However, as soon as he stabbed, the dark-skinned, thin youth reacted quickly, retreating while simultaneously slashing his sword at Chu Yunfan's.

Because the dark-skinned, thin youth was much stronger than Chu Yunfan, this sword strike made Chu Yunfan's entire hand holding the sword tremble, and he almost lost his grip.

Then, the dark-skinned, thin young man seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"Three Swords of Plum Blossom!"

The dark-skinned, thin young man brandished his longsword, creating three sword lights that simultaneously pierced Chu Yunfan's chest, neck, and brow.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan's right hand was still trembling. Although his left hand had a glove that could block the sword light, it could not block three sword lights at the same time.

In the moment of crisis, Chu Yunfan finally remembered that he had another piece of armor in his storage ring.

Immediately, the storage ring around Chu Yunfan's neck flashed, and a black suit of armor instantly appeared in his hand. He then raised it to block the three sword lights.

However, the dark-skinned, thin youth was indeed powerful; with his strength, his longsword pierced right through the black armor.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan felt a chill in his heart. This was armor that could withstand multiple attacks from late-stage first-tier demonic beasts, and its defensive power was not weak. Yet, it was pierced through by the dark-skinned youth's sword, which showed how powerful the opponent was.

However, thanks to the protection of the black armor, after the dark-skinned, thin youth pierced the armor with his sword tip, his longsword got stuck in the black armor and did not pierce Chu Yunfan's body.

Seeing this, Chu Yunfan seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack, his Xuan Tie sword once again stabbing towards the dark-skinned, thin youth's body.

However, at this moment, Wang Dali and others who had been watching the battle arrived.

With a flick of his longsword, Wang Dali deflected the sword aimed at the thin, dark-skinned youth.

At the same time, Li Si also took the opportunity to launch an attack, thrusting his long sword at Chu Yunfan's head from the side.

At this moment, Chu Yunfan was surrounded by enemies on three sides and was about to die under Li Si's sword.

Just then, Zhang San also made his move.

However, his sword was not aimed at Chu Yunfan, but rather he deflected Li Si's sword and saved Chu Yunfan.

"Zhang San, what are you doing!"

Wang Dali shouted angrily.

Even faster than his angry shout was the sword in the dark-skinned, thin youth's hand.

In an instant, he drew his longsword from his black armor and thrust it towards Chu Yunfan's brow.
