Chapter Twenty-Three: The Assassins Attack
With Liu Chen's breakthrough, Xu Maogong was also preparing to return, after all, it had been dozens of days since he left Liangdu, and he was also a little worried about the destruction of hostile forces in Liangdu. How could they easily give up on Liu Chen, watching Liu Chen's power grow steadily.
But before Xu Maogong could speak, Liu Chen suddenly said: "Dao Chief, the sect leader heard that there is a Flame Demon Tiger in this Qinlian Mountain Range, this is a fire attribute tiger, it is said to have the blood of Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, I don't know if it's true." ”
"There is indeed such a group, but except for someone who saw it ten years ago, there is no trace of him, the Flame Demon Tiger is a fierce beast comparable to the Great Grandmaster, it is difficult to deal with, the key is that his aggressiveness contains a strong fire element. Xu Maogong said.
"Then don't be afraid, among the three of us, you and the sect leader have already reached the realm of grandmasters, plus the actual combat power of the two of you, you are still afraid of the little Flame Demon Tiger. Liu Chen continued to bewitch.
"You can't say that, my lord, you are now a third-rank martial master, then the sect leader and I are third-stage grandmasters, and the Flame Demon Tiger is the top demon beast among the middle-level grandmasters, plus his beast body, whether it is strength, speed or defense, it has reached the high-level top grandmaster, so the two of us are still worse off dealing with it now, besides, there is more than one Flame Demon Tiger, that is a group, there are four or five!" Xu Maogong refused.
"Then let's go through it for a while. I think this kind of life has greatly improved my strength, as the old saying goes, "it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles", and now my strength has improved, and I can also have greater confidence to fight against the enemy in the dark. Liu Chen looked at the sky and said silently.
"I agree, we can't go back so quickly, so as to exercise the abilities of those people in the family, after all, we can't worry about everything from the lord and the Taoist chief, and they may have to take charge of themselves in the future. Lin Chong said endlessly, hearing that Liu Chen and Xu Maogong's eyes widened, and they looked at Lin Chong in disbelief.
Lin Chong's face turned red instantly, and he touched his head embarrassedly.
"The head of the sect is right, I owe it to me. Xu Maogong said.
"Let's fight for a few more days, and maybe we'll be able to summon another hero. Liu Chen silently glanced at the Xingchen Banner, and saw that the soul power had reached almost eight thousand Dao, and he was also secretly happy.
In the next few days, Liu Chen and the three of them continued to experience in this Qinlian Mountain Range, wherever they went, they would jump around, but the three of them did not go too deep into the mountain range, after all, this Qinlian Mountain Range has existed for a long time, and I don't know how many fierce beasts there are in the depths of this mountain range, and the fierce beasts have evolved into demon beasts, and those demon beasts are at the lowest level of the Great Grandmaster, and there are also Martial King and even Martial Emperor level demon beasts in it, which is not something that Liu Chen and they can deal with.
However, often walking by the river, how can there be no wet shoes, on this day, Lin Chong and Xu Maogong watched Liu Chen fight with a grandmaster-level fierce beast on the side, this fierce beast resembles a horse and has horns, the key is a mouth full of fangs, showing that it is not a vegetarian, Liu Chen didn't want to provoke him, but Xu Maogong lightly stoned, breaking Liu Chen's illusion.
"Dao Chief, you framed me, this is a grandmaster-level fierce beast, even if it's just the first stage, it's not something I can deal with. Liu Chen shouted at Xu Maogong while dodging the attack of this fierce beast.
"Lord, you can't always pick up soft persimmons and pinch them, and the occasional skipping challenge is still very good for you. This horned wind beast can just meet all your needs, and compared to other early-stage grandmaster-level fierce beasts, in addition to being faster, other attributes are still staying at the senior martial arts!" Xu Maogong explained to Liu Chen.
"In this way, then I will be relieved, after Liu Chen heard this, he also put his mind at ease, and unleashed the "Seven Steps and Thirteen Shots" to fight against the Wind Ripping Beast. The spear in Liu Chen's hand flew up and down like a poisonous snake, and the tip of the spear never left the body of the Wind Tearing Beast, and after a while, the fierce beast was drenched in blood, but this was all skin trauma, and it did not hurt its roots, but Liu Chen consumed a lot.
Suddenly, the Wind Ripper jumped out, then raised its head and roared, and then a few wolf howls were heard not far away.
Xu Maogong heard the wolf howl, his face changed, this is the voice of the wind wolf, the wind and waves are great grandmaster-level demon beasts, and there are a few, and this wind tearing beast is obviously the bait of their cloth, Xu Maogong's face is even more ugly, thinking that he is smart for a lifetime, but now he is calculated by the little demon beast, he is still too arrogant, and he underestimates the world.
"Sect leader, the situation has changed, take the lord to withdraw quickly, this wind tearing beast and those few wind waves are obviously in a group, maybe there are higher-level demon beasts behind them, after all, these two beasts are wind attributes. Xu Maogong hurriedly said to Lin Chong.
Lin Chongfei approached the Wind Ripper Beast, and with a wave of the spear, he knocked the Wind Ripper Beast back a few steps, and then followed the spear, walking forward quickly, and the spear was raised, and before the Wind Ripper could react, a hole of nearly a foot was cut in its front shoulder. The Wind Tearing Beast was startled, and as soon as the beast's head turned, it was ready to flee, Lin Chong pushed the boat down the river, turned sideways at the Wind Tearing Beast, swung the gun shaft, swept through the thousands of troops with one move, knocked down the Wind Tearing Beast, and then pulled Liu Chen, and rushed in the direction of Xu Maogong.
"Leader, quick, those wind wolves are coming soon. Xu Maogong looked at the grass that was constantly shaking a mile in front of him, and he was also anxious, if he was surrounded by the wind wolf, then things would be out of expectation.
Xu Maogong took a step forward, grabbed Liu Chen's arm from the other side, and Lin Chong left and right, and ran to the periphery with Liu Chen. And the Wind Wolf and the Wind Ripper Beast had already turned, barking at each other a few times, and then they saw dozens of Wind Wolves abandon the Wind Ripper Beast and chase after Xu Maogong.
Xu Maogong looked at the wind wolf who was still chasing, and was afraid for a while, this kind of demon beast is notoriously difficult, and now they are targeting, so they can only run away desperately, if their strength recovers, just a few wind wolves can be wiped out with a wave of their hands.
Liu Chen and the three of them, this run, is most of the hour, everyone is tired and out of breath, and the wind wolf behind is still chasing from afar, Liu Chen is also speechless for a while.
However, the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and not far in front of Liu Chen and them, a team of black-clothed people were constantly searching for something in this mountain range.
"Boss, this time the above sent us to secretly assassinate the guard, just for the sake of the other party Liu Chen's straw bag, will it make a big fuss, think about our fourth team, the boss is the middle stage grandmaster, and the fifth brother and the four of them are also the first stage grandmaster, plus our seven high-level grandmasters, can Liu Chen's kid still run." It's just that this kid is too cunning, so he actually left the old butler who took care of him and hid in this Qinlian Mountain Range with a few guards. If it weren't for his Erniang giving us his old clothes, we would have had a taste-seeking Gu, and we wouldn't be able to find him in this vast mountain range. "A man in black, in front of a leading figure, kept patting his ass.
"Lao Jiu, stop up, be careful, this is the depths of the Qinlian Mountain Range, you must know that the Deputy Commander was ambushed by demon beasts in the depths of the Qinlian Mountain Range, and in the end, only the Deputy Commander came back, and the other three Junior Martial King-level elders and the four Great Grandmaster-level guards were all killed. The leader said to the chattering Lao Jiu.
"Got it, Boss. Lao Jiu's fart slapped on the horse's hooves, and returned to the team with a black face, seeing several companions around him holding back their laughter, with a depressed and angry face.
"Everyone, pay attention, the Taste Seeking Gu has reacted, Liu Chen and they are not far away. Suddenly, the leader spoke, and the group of men in black quickly dispersed and searched ahead.
At this time, Liu Chen and the others were still running forward, unaware that they were crashing headlong into the assassination team that had come to assassinate them.
"Boss, I found that they were right ahead, running towards us. Suddenly, a man in black said.
"Okay, then capture them in one fell swoop, and if we catch them, we can also hand over the task and receive the reward. The leader waved his hand and said, accept a "concave" formation made by eleven people around him, as long as Liu Chen and they break in, the door will be closed, forming an encirclement, and it will be much easier to arrest Liu Chen at that time.
said that it was too late, Liu Chen and the others had already entered the encirclement, and the leader quickly waved his hand, and then Liu Chen and they surrounded him.
"Liu Chen, you can make it easy for us to find, and then you will be a prisoner of Lao Tzu, give me some good things, otherwise I will have good fruit to eat." The boss looked at Liu Chen's flustered eyes, and there was a burst of disdain, a straw bag is a straw bag, and he just entered the encirclement, so he was still afraid. The Boss laughed triumphantly.
But before he could finish laughing, several screams were heard beside him, and then someone shouted: "There are wolves, wind wolves, there are dozens, everyone in formation." ”
The leader also knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly gave up questioning Liu Chen, and led a few of his men to fight with the wolves.
Those wind wolves didn't expect Liu Chen and them to have people here, so they quickly expanded and fought with this team of secret assassins.
Liu Chen was also confused, what is the situation of these people, how can they besiege him, but looking at their outfits, they are definitely prepared, it seems that they are the people sent by the forces behind the Evil Wolf Gang.
"Little Liu Chen, you are so treacherous, you dare to come with a wind wolf, you think that you can escape in this way, and the top wants your life, which no one can save, obediently tie your hands and capture, maybe you can leave a whole corpse. The leader of the Dark Thorn Guard didn't care about this, and shouted at Liu Chen, in his eyes, these wolves were brought by Liu Chen to deal with him, but dozens of wind wolves could still deal with it.
Liu Chen was also speechless when he heard it, he has that ability, are you still afraid that you assassins, don't you see that you are being chased very embarrassed.
"Dare to calculate my lord, you are looking for death. At this time, Lin Chong saw that the wind wolf had been entangled with this team of assassins, and his side was safe for the time being, and when he heard the words of the black-clothed leader, the tiger's eyes widened angrily, and he raised his spear and killed the general.
Xu Maogong's eyes rolled, he thought about it, and whispered to Liu Chen: "Lord, let's also go and join in the fun, the strength of this pair of black-clothed people and wind wolves is about the same, let's provoke a lot, whichever side falls into the disadvantage, we will help whichever side is lost, until they are both defeated, and what to do with them when the time comes, it is not up to us to decide." Xu Maogong winked at Liu Chen insidiously.
"Okay, that's what the Taoist chief did. "Liu Chen is not the kind of persistent humble gentleman, if he has a advantage, he is a bastard.
Liu Chen and Xu Maogong also joined the battle group, they would help the wind wolf at one time, and the man in black at the other, and they were very happy. I saw Liu Chen slash Huashan with one move, hit the man in black, swept away thousands of troops in a row, and swept back the wind wolf, and then shook the tip of the gun violently, and stabbed at the wind wolf and the man in black on both sides.
The man in black turned his weapon horizontally, blocking the spear stabbed by Liu Chen, and looked at Liu Chen and the wind wolf vigilantly on the side, a little confused, and the wind wolf also shook his body, dodged Liu Chen's spear, and stopped the attack. Liu Chen also stopped, the six eyes of the three parties looked at each other, and suddenly the wind wolf pounced, thinking that Liu Chen bit it, Liu Chen was shocked, this beast did not hit the man in black, but stared at him, and he was secretly unhappy in his heart. How could the man in black miss this opportunity, he also raised his blade and looked at Liu Chen, Liu Chen's heart was terrified, and he used a move to dial a thousand catties, and the blade of the man in black was turned towards the wind wolf, the wind wolf twisted his waist in the air, dodged the knife of the man in black, and after the four claws landed on the ground, a pair of triangular eyes stared at the man in black fiercely, slightly opening a big mouth full of fangs, and saliva unconsciously dripped on the ground.
With a fierce wave of his front paws, he blocked the residual strength of Liu Chen's spear, and then killed the man in black, wolves are all animals with grudges, not to mention that the wind wolf, who had not suffered a loss in the overall action, immediately quickly fought with the man in black, and Liu Chen couldn't intervene for a while.
Around, it is also inextricably fought, some places the wind wolf is besieging the man in black, and in some places the man in black is besieging the wind wolf, and Lin Chong and Xu Maogong are one shot in the east and one sword in the west, acting as a-stirring stick in the middle of this battle group, not to mention that the effect is not bad, so far, the wind wolf and the man in black are still tied, it seems that Xu Maogong's plan is still successful.
