The flames spread rapidly, flowing across the sky, and surrounded most of the demon soldiers and three-eyed dogs with teeth and claws.
Wood shouted, "Kill! ā
All the children of the bluestone gate began to attack, shooting arrows with bows and crossbows, and those without weapons picked up stones and threw them into the ring of fire. Li Xiaoyang also took out a pistol and kept shooting.
Wood shouted again: "Wai! ā
Two teams of men and horses rode out on both sides of the camp, Wood was in front, leading a column of horses to rush towards the second half of the demon clan, and more than 20 bluestone disciples with two-handed axes rode their horses and galloped.
Because of the complexity of their tasks, the soldiers rarely had time to practice Taoism, but they often fought on the battlefield, and they all had the ability to kill people forced by flesh and blood.
More than 20 cultivators in the rivers and lakes, against 40 soldiers on the battlefield, who is superior and who is inferior?
The forty soldiers of the demon clan riding Illidan thought that the fire wave was hindering and stagnated, and the children and men led by Wood bypassed the fire ring and caught the demon soldiers from both sides, forming a situation where the demon soldiers were passively beaten.
The fire became bigger, under the blowing of the night wind, like a churning wave, the people and beasts in the circle screamed, the flames were concentrated in the rear, they could not retreat, and in front of them was the concentrated shooting of the bluestone gate, and they could not enter.
Li Xiaoyang raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, I heard that the demon clan is warlike, but it's so barbaric?" Hahahaha! ā
He saw a large bend of silver light flashing in the distance, and then several purple figures flew up, that power, was Wood's trick Guangfeng Haoyue?
The demons were defeated and retreated, their momentum was completely suppressed, most of them were killed and wounded, and finally gave up the battle and retreated with the remaining twenty people.
The Rejection Pass is the only large-scale trade road between the demons and the Patriotic Nation, where the two countries stationed their troops, built tall fortresses and barriers, deep moats, and battle piers on the side of the stone wall.
Yu Yuanxun, Falcon, and Furnace Tiger successfully passed the rejection pass, and they had a special pass granted by Li Yu, although it was only a superficial special grade, and they did not have any privileges in the territory of the Northern Underworld.
They hurried overnight, not daring to delay any time.
When they reached a fork in the triangle, the furnace tiger suddenly reined in his horse, dismounted and walked back.
Yu Yuanxun and Falcon also stopped when they saw it.
The furnace tiger walked a few steps, stretched his neck to sniff the air, and turned around a few more times before he stopped and said, "Your Highness's scent has gone in three directions. ā
The falcon crossed his slender waist and asked strikingly, "What's going on?" Is your nose broken? ā
Luhu said: "Hmph, your nose is not good, I guess His Highness already knew that I would come to track him, and separated all the clothes."
"Hey, Your Highness is quite clever, but it's not as smart as Brother Yu."
"Heh, do you dare to say this in front of Your Highness? And if your brother Yu is extremely smart, will he let His Highness escape? ā
Yu Yuanxun lowered his head slightly, and said ashamedly: "It was indeed my negligence that brought trouble to the two of you."
The falcon covered for Yu Yuanxun and said, "That is His Highness deliberately trying to escape, how can you blame my brother Yu."
"Yes, yes, yes, your brother Yu is the most capable."
Yu Yuanxun said: "Let's hurry up. Brother Furnace Tiger, can you distinguish the smell clearly? ā
The furnace tiger continued to sniff the air, and after a while, he finally smelled the difference, he pointed to the road due north, and said: "The smell of His Highness on the other two roads is gradually dissipating, only this one is long-lasting, go!" That's it. ā
The furnace tiger remounted his horse, and the three of them continued on the road, galloping on their horses.
On the mountainside, the demon soldiers fled one after another like lost dogs, and Li Xiaoyang and others were extremely excited, shouting victory.
Wood walked up to Li Xiaoyang, held his hand, and said gratefully: "Li Gongzi is clever, thanks to you, we can achieve such a victory, not a single soldier will die."
"The master of the Wu Sect praised it, and it was just a coincidence."
Wu Xiaoqin also followed, the axe in her hand was still stained with blood, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite smart."
Li Xiaoyang didn't need to be modest in front of her, and replied triumphantly: "Of course! My IQ is superb, if you say that I am the second in the world, believe it or not, no one dares to be the third. ā
"Hmph, who's the first?"
"Naturally, there are other people, I am still quite modest, I dare not say that I am the first in the world, but Nanheng is the first, and I should be able to be one."
Wu Xiaoqin had nothing to say now, and she really had never seen such an unashamed person.
They took some effort to extinguish the fire with sand and stones and isolation, and sure enough, the cultivators were good, and this fire couldn't hinder them much, even if they confronted the demon soldiers head-on just now, with those various moves and not weak spiritual power, they could also have the upper hand.
Li Xiaoyang said to Wood: "The retreat of the demons is only temporary, they will not give up so simply."
Wood asked, "What then?"
"We ditched our horses and walked along the more rugged mountain roads."
Wood was incredulous and asked, "Abandon the horse?"
Li Xiaoyang nodded and confirmed: "To the foot of Hengshan Mountain in front, you abandon the horse, on the one hand, you can use the horse herd to distract the attention of the three-eyed hound, on the other hand, take the mountain road of the horse, the demon clan even has the war horse Illidan can not advance, and then go over a few peaks to the Hengnan realm, with the endurance of your martial arts practitioners, you will not lose to the soldiers, right?"
Wood heard the ambiguity in Li Xiaoyang's words, and asked, "The method is indeed feasible, but what you said about us, Childe, does not include you?"
"I, who have abandoned my horses, am a burden, and it is impossible for me to climb the mountain in a short time."
"Don't worry, Childe, I Wood will not abandon you, I will climb this hill with you on my back."
Although the difference between the Ninth Order and the Void Yuan is only one level, there is a world of difference, and Li Xiaoyang knows that if he follows behind them, it will only be a burden, and he will let the demon soldiers catch up.
In the northeast of the Hengshan Mountain Range, there is a sect called the Hengshan Sect, which is the four great masters of Hengshan three hundred years ago, who sealed the silver white snow wolf in Yingyue Lake.
And Li Xiaoyang was planning to go to that Hengshan Sect.
The Hengshan Sect belongs to the middle sect of the Demon Clan, which is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, and has a lot of tolerance, and both the Demon Clan and the Middle-earth people can be disciples in their sect, so Li Xiaoyang decided to try his luck there first.
He said to Wood: "Don't worry, Lord Wumen, I am not giving up and escaping, but I am going to Hengshan Sect, the Northern Wilderness, I must go."
"Childe, are you confident?"
"Don't worry, I can't die." He is the son of King Li, if the demon clan really catches him, it is a big deal to reveal his identity, with his value, the demon clan will not mess around, at least he has to be locked up under house arrest and blackmailed Li Yu.
"Okay, Childe's resourcefulness, I believe Childe will be safe." Wood turned away and began to prepare.
How soft the night was, the moonlight was hazy, the starlight was blurred, and the night breeze caressed Li Xiaoyang's face.
Wu Xiaoqin walked towards him along the moonlight, he remembered that night, the same night sky, the same pace, and the same nervousness. He sat down cross-legged, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
Wu Xiaoqin came to him, put her hands behind her back, kicked the small stone on her feet, and asked, "...... you Don't come with us? ā
He closed his eyes and let the night breeze blow away his long, inky black hair.
Wu Xiaoqin asked, "Aren't you afraid of danger?!"
Li Xiaoyang opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten? I'm a master! ā
Wu Xiaoqin stomped her feet angrily, turned around and wanted to leave, took two steps, turned back to Li Xiaoyang, and sat down cross-legged.
Li Xiaoyang saw that she didn't want to be quiet for herself, so she bent down and reached over and ran Wu Xiaoqin's hair.
Wu Xiaoqin's face was red to the root of her ears again, but to Li Xiaoyang's surprise, she didn't stop him.
Li Xiaoyang said: "Your hair should be tied well, even if you don't tie your hair, don't always wear it with your hair scattered, and keep your temples next to your ears, so that everyone looks beautiful."
He continued: "Otherwise, if you are as rustic as you are now, whoever marries you will be moldy for eight lifetimes."
Her face changed suddenly, and she puffed up her little face and said, "Whoever marries you is the one who will be moldy for eight lifetimes!"
He was suddenly stunned, withdrew his hand, and the atmosphere fell silent.
She put her hand into her garment, took out a delicate jeweled necklace from her neck, and said to him, "This is the necklace that my mother left me, it can worship the gods and exorcise demons, you can take it with you, maybe it will keep you safe." After speaking, he stuffed the necklace into Li Xiaoyang's hand, and immediately got up and trotted away, his face was redder than the morning sun.
Li Xiaoyang looked at the red onyx necklace in his hand, where is this kind of necklace an ornament for exorcism, it is clearly a magnificent necklace that symbolizes the pursuit of happiness.
He looked at Wu Xiaoqin's charming back that was gradually moving away, and sighed. I, Li Xiaoyang, am not a good person.
