Chapter IX: Conflict
With Hu Kui's shout, the surrounding mercenaries fell silent, the Netherworld Tiger and the Canglong Python, the two top-level demon beasts, as long as they have been in Qingshan Town, have a general understanding, the legend of the Netherworld Tiger is the king of the entire Yanming Mountain Range, it is a super demon beast that has reached the extreme of the sky, and the Canglong Python is also a demon beast at the peak of the ground level in the Yanming Mountain Range.
The Scattered Cultivation Alliance once organized a hundred-person demon hunting group led by three prefecture-level masters, one of whom even reached the peak of the prefecture-level master, entered the depths of the Yanming Mountain Range to kill the Canglong Python, and the two sides met in the valley occupied by the Canglong Python, and there was a shocking battle, the surrounding trees and valleys were completely destroyed by the battle between the two sides, and the three prefecture-level masters who led the team, none of them were spared, all were killed by the Canglong Python, and the rest of the mercenaries escaped very few。
"This is the outskirts of the Yanming Mountains, how can you ......," a mercenary muttered quietly.
"Yes, how could these two demon beasts come out and fight to the death...... another mercenary also asked.
"Captain Hu, what's going on," the mercenaries all looked at Hu Kui.
"It's weird, it's weird, such top-level demon beasts are generally in the depths of the Yanming Mountain Range, and they rarely come out of the ......," Hu Kui pondered for a while and said, "And monsters have their own territory, and the existence of top-level monsters like this rarely directly clashes." Unless ......"
"Unless anything," the mercenaries around him asked.
"It's hard to say, I can't guess," Hu Kui also said suspiciously.
"Look. What's that?" one of the mercenaries shouted suddenly.
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that under the huge body of the Netherworld Tiger, a monster beast the size of a cat staggered out.
"Nether Tiger cub, I see, I see," Hu Kui slapped his palm on the surrounding rocks with excitement, turning the rock into powder.
Everyone looked at Hu Kui suspiciously.
"This is a pregnant Nether Tiger, the demon beast needs to consume a lot of essence blood when it gives birth, and the more advanced the demon beast is, the greater the physical strength when it gives birth. This is when it is the weakest, this Netherworld Tiger may feel the threat of the surrounding demon beasts, and deliberately ran to the periphery of the Yanming Mountain Range to give birth, but it was still discovered by the cunning Canglong Python, tracked out, and came out to hunt and kill at the critical moment when the Nethertiger was produced, but the Netherworld Tiger was a demon beast of the heavens after all, and before he died, he counterattacked and killed the Canglong Python, and both sides died together. Hu Kui further explained.
The truth of the matter should be roughly like this, otherwise it can't be explained how these two top-level demon beasts came to the periphery of the Yanming Mountain Range, and there was a life-and-death fight.
Chance, huge chance, looking at the dead bodies of the two top demon beasts in front of him, every mercenary, including Mu Tianxiang, became short of breath.
Conflict, all of a sudden, happened. When Mu Tianxiang was still fantasizing about this harvest, the fight took place next to him, and in the face of great wealth and opportunity, the greedy nature of human beings was undoubtedly revealed, and this improvised mercenary team tore off the mask of hypocrisy.
How the conflict happened, Mu Tianxiang didn't notice, when Mu Tianxiang noticed, the fight had ended quickly, and the four Xuan-level masters in the team joined forces to kill the other three Xuan-level masters beside him in an instant, and surrounded the head of the group, Hu Kui. Thinking of the boss's advice, Mu Tianxiang knew the great danger he was facing. The biggest danger in the Yanming Mountains is often not the demonic beasts, but the companions around them. For the time being, they were safe, and the four rebels didn't pay more attention to Mu Tianxiang, a small yellow-level monk. Instead, he watched vigilantly at Hu Kui in the encirclement, the highest cultivation in this team, a ground-level monk, and an existence that could not be ignored anywhere. The perennial life-and-death struggle in the army made Mu Tianxiang develop a tenacious character, and in the face of crisis, Mu Tianxiang forced himself to calm down. and slowly exited the encirclement.
Mu Tianxiang's actions did not arouse the minds of both sides, a small yellow-level monk, no matter who won on both sides, could easily wipe out the ants, at this time it was not worth paying attention to. The biggest enemy of both sides is the other.
"Yan Long, what do you mean," Hu Kui asked loudly. In the face of the encirclement, Hu Kui did not panic at all, and he may have expected these things to happen.
"Captain Hu, smart people don't talk nonsense, don't you understand what it means, of course, the fewer people you get for such a big opportunity, the better. And there are a lot of people, once the things here leak out, you and I will be very troublesome. Yan Long, the eldest of the four, said.
"Do you want to kill me too, to have this monstrous opportunity, but do you think it is enough for the four of you to join forces? Hu Kui snorted coldly and said.
"Alone. None of us is your opponent of Captain Hu, but our four brothers can still eat it together. Yan Long said gloomily.
"The four of you already know each other?" asked Hu Kui, puzzled.
"We are bloodthirsty, these are my brothers, Yan Hu, Yan Bao, Yan Biao, we have cultivated a kind of four-elephant array, and we will ask Captain Hu for more advice later. Yan Long said.
The problem is serious, the four Xuan-level masters, Hu Kui doesn't care about it, but the four divisions are out of the same door, and they have also cultivated the Xuan-level masters of the Combined Attack Array, and the combat power is not the same. If you can't figure it out, you're going to plant it here today, and Hu Kui is also serious.
It's the bloodthirsty door again, this bunch of garbage, Mu Tianxiang also secretly sighed that he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out today.
"That's it, I don't want things, I admit to planting, the mountains don't turn around, stay a line as a man, I quit, you let me live. Hu Kui hesitated and flinched.
"That's not good, Captain Hu, if it's an ordinary thing, then forget it, but this thing is too valuable, if you go out and talk casually, the trouble caused by our four brothers can't bear it. Yan Hu next to him said.
"Yes, that's it, what is the eldest brother talking to him, when the person dies, there will be no trouble. Yan Bao and Yan Biao also echoed loudly.
"It doesn't make sense? Then do it, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, all the winners will win, and I, Hu Kui, am also the number one person in this Yanming Mountain Range." I see if you can eat me, be careful of breaking your teeth!" Seeing that it was not possible to retreat, Hu Kui's tall body began to stand up. The tone also began to be tough.
"Captain Hu, don't worry, we definitely want things today, it's impossible to let you go like this, and we can't afford the consequences. You see, if this is not the case, your head Hu is also a loose cultivator, or you will join our bloodthirsty sect. With this harvest, I asked the master of the sect to give you an elder to be the leader, and it should still be possible. In this way, you and I will be brothers in the same sect in the future, and there will be no such thing as leaking secrets. Captain Hu, think about it, this is our bottom line. Yan Long pondered for a while and said.
Listening to Yan Long's words, Hu Kui hesitated......
The conversation between the two sides did not mention Mu Tianxiang, and when the two sides negotiated, Mu Tianxiang's little trouble was wiped out.
"You can't let the two sides negotiate, otherwise you will definitely die. Faced with the crisis of life and death, Mu Tianxiang secretly pondered. But how can you give yourself a glimmer of life in such a crisis. Mu Tianxiang thought quickly.
"Yes, just do it," time does not allow Mu Tianxiang to think for a long time, and the resolute character that he has developed in the army for a long time in the face of life and death crises will do it when he thinks about it.
"Captain Hu, do it!" Mu Tianxiang, who had retreated behind Hu Kui just now, shouted, raising his knife and rushing towards the four Yan Long brothers.
The two sides of the conversation had evil intentions, and there was no trust at all. Mu Tianxiang's actions immediately caused a big battle between the two sides. With rich combat experience, Hu Kui immediately judged the current situation, Hu Kui raised his long knife and pounced on Yan Leopard on the right, and Yan Leopard, who was not prepared, was immediately forced to retreat.
"Third brother, be careful. The other three immediately attacked Hu Kui's back, forcing Hu Kui to save himself, such a good opportunity, how could Hu Kui give up, taking advantage of Yan Leopard's unstable foothold, he barely supported a Yuan Qi shield in his back, and a force split Huashan to slash Yan Bao under the knife, and at the same time, Yan Long and the others' attacks also fell on Hu Kui's back, and the huge impact immediately broke the protection of the Yuan Qi shield, Hu Kui was split and rushed forward, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out. Hu Kui, who stood firmly, ignored the blood in his mouth, looked up to the sky and laughed, "I see that you are missing one person, how can you form a combined attack array!"
The master's combat experience and courage made Mu Tianxiang breathtaking. In the face of an unfavorable situation, even if he was injured, he had to kill one person and break the opponent's combined attack array.
"Hu Kui, you killed my third brother, and we will not die today. "Yan Long and the three of them didn't expect that the battle had just begun, and one person would be lost here, and the combined attack array could not be formed, and today's battle was difficult.
"Who is afraid of whom, come," killed one of the other party, Hu Kui's injury was not fatal, and the death was slightly broken. Hu Kui was also relieved, and after saying this, he looked at Mu Tianxiang who was rushing over next to him strangely.
"Miscellaneous, it's all you who caused trouble," Yan Long also looked at Mu Tianxiang who rushed over, and slapped Mu Tianxiang with a blow of empty palm. The huge shock wave came head-on, which Mu Tianxiang could not resist at all, and was directly slapped a few feet away, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the bones all over his body seemed to be broken, and he couldn't get up from lying on the ground.
Hu Kui glanced at it and did not go to save Mu Tianxiang. Instead, he stared fiercely at the three Yan Long brothers.
Yan Long had a gloomy face, clenched the long knife in his hand, made eye contact with Yan Hu and Yan Biao, and slowly surrounded Hu Kui. At this time, there is no point in saying anything, there is a dead person, the two sides are already a situation of endless death, and there is no practical point in saying cruel words, Tu provokes the ridicule of the other party, only to kill the other party or be killed by the other party, this is the rivers and lakes, this is the law of survival of monks, simple and direct.
Yan Biao burst into a shout, swung his knife and rushed towards Hu Kui, Yan Long and Yan Hu beside him also followed at the same time, Hu Kui also pounced on Yan Biao, ignoring the attack of Yan Long and Yan Hu next to him, he pounced into Yan Biao's arms, and stabbed Yan Biao's chest with a poisonous snake. Although he tried his best to dodge and protect, Hu Kui was still hit by Yan Hu's knife and Yan Long's palm. Hu Kui swung his knife to avoid Yan Long and Yan Hu, gasping for breath.
"Why don't you hide, you can dodge. Yan Biao's body staggered back two steps, his eyes were a little dazed, he looked at Hu Kui in front of him, and asked vaguely.
"In the rivers and lakes, people should not only be ruthless to others, but also to themselves. At this time, there is no chance if you hide......" Hu Kui said with a long sigh.
Yan Biao seemed to understand something, and the hand covering the wound slowly slipped down. Plasma gushed out of the wound and slid down the body, in the lower abdomen, thighs, feet, and finally into the dirt......
"Second brother, be careful. Hu Kui must have been seriously injured just now, he wanted to fight hard, he wanted to fight quickly, don't fall into his trap, drag him down, and kill him," Yan Long shouted loudly.
However, in the face of a lifeless prefecture-level master, no matter how much effort he made, it was in vain, Hu Kui desperately suffered several more knife wounds, and beheaded Yan Long and Yan Hu under the knife. The life and death struggle of the master is not a competition. It often doesn't last long, life and death are instantaneous.
