Chapter 7: Cutting Iron
At this time, outside the house, Jin Zhen had already begun to celebrate his victory, looking at the blood-drenched Yan Qinghou and then smiling proudly. In fact, he didn't think about letting these villagers go at all, his army had already surrounded the outside of the village, and deliberately did not enter the village, just to make Yan Qinghou relax his vigilance and walk into the trap, and then get rid of Yan Qinghou and kill the entire village. Even though Yan Qinghou was covered in bruises, his eyes never left Jin Zhen, which made Jin Zhen shudder. However, Yan Qinghou was still lightly injured, although the blood flowed, he still stood still, and his body did not shake in the slightest, Jin Zhen seemed to have to act more, and let a few more people let him harm himself. Looking back, the two people who had just gone in and released people had not come out for a long time, and they called the two people into the house to have a look. Not long after being summoned, the two men were kicked out along with the wooden door. Jin Zhen didn't know what was happening, only heard a sound, the person who had just entered had fallen to the ground, the fragments of the wooden door were scattered all over the ground, and he covered his head and hid aside. He looked into the house and found that there was no one of his own, but a strange man walked out of the inner courtyard of the house, walked to the door as if no one was around, and then crossed his hands in front of his chest, ignoring him and said directly to Yan Qinghou: "General Yan, all the Qi soldiers in the house have been solved by me, and you have no worries." ”
Yan Qinghou didn't know who the young man in front of him was, although his appearance was a little different from that of humans, but the helper and he must not be a villain, through Jin Zhen's nervous and unexpected eyes, he could know that although he was not a reinforcement from his side, he would not be a person from Jin Zhen's side, and then replied to Yan Che: "Thank you Shaoxia for coming to the rescue." ”
Jin Zhen's own wishful thinking was inexplicably disrupted by a person who was not in the plan, and the incident happened suddenly, and his heart was at a loss. Suddenly, Yan Che turned his face to look at him, his eyes were naturally different from humans, and there seemed to be a black current flowing in his pupils, as if the abyss was staring at him, scaring him to the ground, as if he had seen a ghost. The guard beside him quickly raised his knife and slashed at Yan Che, Yan Che subconsciously dodged, he was used to escaping since he was a child, and when someone attacked him, he avoided without fighting, and if he could, he hid, and the soldiers chopped and chopped around, but they didn't hurt Yan Che. At this time, the soldiers took knives together and slashed at his head, and Yan Che used his subconscious arm to resist the machetes with nowhere to dodge, and as a result, those knives split in response, and Yan Che's arms and even sleeves were not broken. This scene amazed everyone present, and they couldn't believe what was in front of them, and their eyes widened. Yan Qinghou also sighed in his heart that this young man was powerful, because ordinary cultivators, the primary level is to train skin, muscles, and bones, and to resist the damage of weapons such as knives and guns, they must also use their qi on their skin or internal organs to slow down or offset the impact of weapons. But just now, Yan Che had no luck at all, and he was completely a steel and iron body. Even with such an enchantment, even Yan Qinghou himself thought that this young man's strength was above him.
The soldier who had wielded the knife before looked at the broken blade in his hand and felt like a dream. And a few unbelieving soldiers went up to the temptation, and the result was the same. Everyone turned purple with fright, abandoned their weapons and fled, and no one even cared about Jin Zhen lying on the ground. Seeing the soldiers fleeing, Yan Qinghou could finally vent his evil anger and roared at Jin Zhen: "Jin Zhen, don't you want to take my head back to be your king, I personally sent it." ”
This sentence finally reached Jin Zhen, who was sluggish, waking up like a dream, and he didn't expect that he still had the strength to get up, so he staggered up and prepared to escape. Jin Zhen rushed to seize the road not a few steps, and Yan Qinghou blocked in front of him in an instant. Jin Zhen lowered his head timidly, looking at Yan Qinghou's shoes at first, and wanted to slowly raise his head with luck, hoping that what he saw when he looked up was not the face that scared him. Of course, it backfired, Yan Qinghou stared at him angrily, grabbed his collar with his left hand, lifted him high with just one hand, and said: "You shouldn't have mutilated the defenseless people, you are not worthy of being a human being if you lose your conscience so much." "He was about to swing his sword to remove the man's head, when suddenly a black wind struck, and a behemoth snatched the man from his hand. Yan Qinghou also couldn't see the other party's face clearly, only saw a pair of eyes that were not alive in the black wind, which was extremely gloomy and made people shudder.
The black whirlwind carried Jin Zhen and dispersed the crowd, and then flew out of the village.
Yan Qinghou didn't think much about what it was, worried about the safety of the villagers, and turned around and walked into the house. Passing by Yan Che at the door, just by getting closer, he felt that this young man's aura was extraordinary, and the aura on his body was so masculine that only a cultivator could feel the power emanating from the other party. But he cared about the people, and walked directly into the hut without talking to him. The villagers in the house stood anxiously, and the moment they opened the door, they were first startled, and everyone cheered happily when they saw that it was Yan Qinghou himself, and then knelt down one by one to thank Yan Qinghou. These people may not know that it was the boy who rescued them. It's just that Yan Qinghou really came to save them like a savior hero just as the villagers thought. Then they said ashamedly that it was precisely because they had become a burden that Yan Qinghou was embarrassed. Yan Qinghou picked up the people who kowtowed to him, told them not to mind these little things, his life was always on the line, and asked the villagers to quickly follow their soldiers out to take refuge. One by one, the villagers walked out of their houses and fled to the nearby mountains under the guidance of the soldiers. When Yan Qinghou walked out of the door, he saw that the young man was still standing at the door. Yan Qinghou remembered that he hadn't thanked the young man properly, so he came to his side, clenched his hands into fists and said, "Thank you Shaoxia for helping." In Xia Jiang Guo Zhenyuan General Yan Qinghou, many people call me "cut iron", I don't know what to call the young man. As he spoke, Yan Qinghou also glanced at the horns on Yan Che's head.
Yan Che originally wanted to say his real name, but in Yan Qinghou's eyes, Yan Che could see that he still had some concerns. Presumably, the world still hates the demon race, if he exposes his identity, I am afraid that the attitude of these human beings will change, and it is not easy for him to reveal his identity, so he thought about it and said: "I am just a small person in the barbarian tribe, our people are accompanied by wild beasts, and they live in the wilderness, so they look a little different." I came to the mainland to train, and it was really good to bump into the two armies fighting, but I couldn't get used to seeing the people of Qi being insidious, and we all paid attention to fair duels, so I just helped you solve your concerns. As for the name, Yan Che casually thought of a name and said, "My name is Zhao Che." It just so happened that his mother was surnamed Zhao, so he combined his mother's surname with his own name and fooled him around.
When the crowd was leaving, Fu Qinggu happened to pass by them, deliberately stopped for a moment to listen to them, and finally knew the name of this mysterious person. In the chaotic crowd, Yan Che's attention was on Yan Qinghou, and he didn't notice that there were a pair of eyes in the crowd staring at him. In the end, Fu Qinggu quietly followed the crowd and left.
When Yan Qinghou heard his name, he immediately responded: "Zhao Shaoxia, thank you very much......"
Yan Che interrupted him without waiting for him to finish: "General, don't thank me first, the matter is not over yet." That shameless man was rescued by a spell just now, and with his character, he will definitely make a comeback. The general should not take it lightly and prepare for the battle immediately. ”
Yan Qinghou was surprised, this young man is not only strong in martial arts, but also has a very long-term vision. He said: "I also have this intention, it is better to settle the people before the decisive battle, and we must not let them fall into danger again." ”
Yan Che said: "The general is not disgusted, I can help you." ”
Yan Qinghou was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "It's really good to have the help of the young man." Yan Che nodded and turned into black smoke and disappeared from his eyes in an instant, and the fast Yan Qinghou didn't see where he went at all. He sighed in his heart that he couldn't imagine that there was such a genius in the middle, and it was really a talented person from generation to generation.
Yan Che instantly approached his retinue and said to them, "Protect the villagers, but don't let them discover you. Ghost Shili will go with me to meet the enemy. ”
As soon as it came to fighting, the green wolf immediately came up: "Young master, you know that I am the favorite when it comes to fighting, why don't you bring me?"
Yan Che said: "Among you, only the ghost Shili looks like a person, if you all go out and show your face, won't you tell the world that the demon race has reappeared in the world." At present, we are still not clear about the situation in the world, judging from the other party's behavior, they are still afraid of the demons, so they should not reveal their identities and act in a low-key manner. Don't get into trouble when you come out, I hate troublesome things the most. Although they were reluctant, they all received the orders one by one and obeyed them. Before leaving, he specially instructed Ghost Shili not to make any moths, but Ghost Shili smiled and said: "You all call me old and immortal, but I don't know that it is not so easy for me to really die." If I want to die, I'll have to nod from Hades. ”
On the other side, Jin Zhen really led the army to block the outside of the village as Yan Che expected, and tens of thousands of troops surrounded the village. Yan Qinghou had already sent troops to hide the villagers in the mountains, and the green wolf and others also hid in the woods, secretly protecting the villagers on the mountain according to Yan Che's instructions. On the mountain, Fu Qinggu sneaked out and hid in a bush. She brushed aside the weeds and looked down at the village. In the crowd, Yan Qinghou's burly figure was eye-catching, like an inextinguishable candle flame illuminating the dark life of the people of Jiang Kingdom. At the same time, she also scanned the crowd, hoping to see that Zhao Gongzi, but she couldn't see it.
Yan Qinghou rode a horse and took the lead at the front of the line, and the soldiers had already bandaged his wounds. Suddenly, there was a burst of black smoke, and Yan Che and Ghost Shili appeared beside him together. Yan Qinghou sighed again, thinking that Zhao Che's speed was indeed fast, and he could move freely and without a trace. Or maybe he's not fast, it's high enough that he can already use advanced spells like spatial movement. He saluted without being surprised: "Zhao Shaoxia," At the same time, he also saw an old man beside Yan Che, who was not eighty or seventy, with a rickety figure, inconvenient legs and feet, and a cane in his hand, and asked, "Who is this old gentleman?"
When Ghost Shili heard Yan Qinghou call Yan Che Zhang Shaoxia, he was puzzled and asked Yan Che in ventriloquism. Yan Che immediately explained softly, saying that he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he casually said a name, in the name of Zhao Che, saying that he was a barbarian, and then said to Yan Qinghou: "This is my master, surnamed Yan." Before, when our master and apprentice met two armies fighting, I asked Master to hide first and see the truth for himself. Later, I told Master about the situation, and he was very willing to help. Ghost Shili also immediately cooperated and nodded.
Yan Qinghou said: "It turned out to be Mr. Yan, disrespectful. Strange Yan is usually lonely and unheard, and I don't know that Mr. Dalu has such a reputation, and your disciple's strength is so outstanding, you must also be a rare genius in the world, and you will definitely negotiate with you after the war is pacified. ”
After understanding the situation, Ghost Shili echoed: "General Yan has praised it falsely, we have just been hidden in the mountains, and we don't know most of the patterns in the world, so we don't dare to act rashly. The disciple told me that the other party was a sinister and cunning person, and General Yan was chivalrous and courageous, and I will help you as if I were supporting justice, and I should work hard. ”
At this time, someone came out from Qi Guo's side. Four horses pulled a carriage, and the one sitting in the carriage was the frightened Jin Zhen from before. Jin Zhen sat in the carriage and said arrogantly: "Yan Qinghou! I can't imagine that the dignified Seven Swords' Iron Chopping has also been called a foreign warlock, or is your reputation for Iron Chopping in vain, and you are afraid of being embarrassed, so you have found a helper? It's a pity that you met me, even if you invite the Great Luo Immortals, you can't save you! Today is your death!"
Yan Qinghou smiled: "Fushun Hou is really powerful, he was so scared that he was about to pee his pants before, but now that there are more people behind him, he will be angry again." The Jiang soldiers also laughed together. Jin Zhen slapped his thigh angrily, turned back to someone behind him and said, "Spend so much money to please you, don't let Benhou's silver be spent in vain." I hope your title of the First Talisman Master of the Eastern Continent is not fake. The man in the barracks heard this and replied, "Naturally, he is taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others." I have to add that on this continent, apart from my master, I am the strongest talisman master. I have already found out this Yan Qinghou, but it is just a realm of detachment and threefold, and you can win it with a cup of tea. The level of the sword master and the talisman master can be seen at a glance. Then a black wind blew from the crowd, and crossed the heads of the crowd to the front of Jin Zhen's carriage, and out of the black wind jumped a tall giant, the giant had a strong body, dark skin, powerful limbs, armor, beard, hideous face, and most importantly, empty eyes, pupils were snow-white and bloodless, and his body was full of anger from time to time.
Yan Qinghou was sure that this was the behemoth he encountered before, it seemed that the other party had found a cultivator who could drive the undead, and this undead was the world-famous Five Tiger General He Fei in the past, and he was the god general of Jiang Country in the past. Yan Qinghou was fearless in the face of Jiang Guo's former god generals, gently tapped the horse's leg with his sword, and slowly walked forward. He said to Yan Che: "Zhao Gongzi, I will take a step. Then he raised his iron sword, raised his arms and shouted: "Those who offend my Jiang country, although they are far away, they will be punished!
The people in the Qi State military camp sneered: "Hehe, Yan Qinghou, today you will become a victim of the undead, I want your soul!"
Yan Qinghou kicked off the horse's legs with both feet, the horse raised its front hooves, and galloped towards He Fei quickly, a confrontation between the past and the present, which was about to determine the fate of the future.
