Volume 4: The Eventful Years Chapter 227: Flames [II]
Presumably, Baoyu and others went to Wufu Hill on the day of the winter solstice to see the excitement, and then some people said goodbye and left, and they met another group of companions and came to the depths of this wilderness to find opportunities, but they happened to meet here, which is really a narrow road!
Hanxiong's cultivation is not high, and the last time they met, he only introduced himself to the three realms, but his identity is the son of Mr. Changling, so he must be eliminated, otherwise there will be endless troubles. As for the cultivation of the other people, it will not be so high, who will be the real masters in the world, who will join in the fun when Wufu Hill opens the mountain gate?
Yisun and the other six people came from the Great Sect Cultivation Sect of the Silk Country, and all of them were cultivators of the Four Realms, and they were confident that they would be able to win a big victory with absolute certainty. - That's what they think.
Now that the decision has been made, the opportunity cannot be delayed, and as soon as the leopard is ordered, the monks of the Beast Mountain suddenly burst out. Yisun, who cultivated the highest, led the people to sacrifice magic weapons and rushed to the high slope, blocking Baoyu and the others here, and not giving them a chance to escape.
The leopard leaped forward, drew a long whip from his bosom, and rolled it towards the neck of the old man chopping wood. The old man was closest to him, and he had to kill him first, and then take advantage of the situation to restrain the snake girl, and he couldn't let her escape anymore.
Just now they saw that the reason why the old man stopped talking was that on the one hand, the snake girl could not escape, and on the other hand, they were also surprised, and wanted to find out the origin of the other party as much as possible. But Fu Leopard stood here just now, let go of his divine sense and scanned the old man for a long time, but he didn't find anything abnormal, so he went straight to the door at this moment.
As soon as his long whip was swung, before he could exert any magical powers, it suddenly fell to the ground, and there was still a hand on the handle of the whip, attached to the broken arm that was shoulder-high. The leopard was stunned before he realized that it was his own hand!
What happened at this moment? There was a biting cold wind blowing in the mountain forest, and the snake girl couldn't help but shiver, and the old man seemed to be a little weak when he was old, and he bent over with a long pole in his hand and let out a series of violent coughs. And Yisun happened to give the order to move, leading all the fellow disciples to sacrifice magic weapons and rush to the high slope, and the leopard also waved a long whip at the old man.
When the old man coughed for the first time, Hanxiong in the distance couldn't help but shout: "Old man, be careful!"
Hanxiong was too far away from the old man, and the distance between the leopard was too close, and everyone didn't expect the other party to kill in the blink of an eye, and it was too late to stop it. In fact, Hanxiong was not too worried, because Baoyu had already said that the old man's skills were more profound than those of them, and he was of course convinced of Baoyu's cultivation and eyesight. At this moment, the one who should really be careful should be the leopard, Hanxiong just subconsciously screamed.
But something stunned and even terrifying happened, the old man bent over and coughed with a long pole in his hand, as if he had no reaction to the action of helping the leopard, and he probably didn't even see it. But his first cough sounded, and the arm holding the whip fell to the ground, as if it had been neatly cut off by a sharp blade, but not a trace of blood dripped from it.
He saw the broken arm fall to the ground, and only then did he realize that his right hand was gone, and before he could open his mouth to exclaim, he felt that the world was spinning, and he saw his chest at a strange angle. His chest flashed in front of him, and his head hit the snow.
All this happened so quickly, the leopard's neck and arm were actually broken at the same time, and when he looked down at the broken arm, his head fell off, and his eyes could still see.
People usually use chill and cold light to describe the edge of the blade, but at this moment, the invisible blade condensed the real chill between heaven and earth, and instantly froze the wound, not even a drop of blood flowed. The leopard wanted to kill the old man, but the old man didn't even raise his head but let out a cough, and he was inexplicably dismantled and scattered in the snow—what a horrible scene!
Those Beast Mountain monks who were rushing towards the high slope hadn't seen what was happening here. Only the panther seemed to have some kind of central divine sense with its master, and he turned his head to look this way. The old man coughed a second time, and its massive body, which had leapt in mid-air, fell forward, splashed up a cloud of snow, and then remained motionless.
No one could tell what had happened to the panther, what had befallen him, and if he had been lifted out of the snow pit and examined it closely, he would have found only a small wound in the middle of his forehead, as if it had been plunged into it by a very thin blade, but there was not a trace of blood coming out.
The speed of the spirit beast black panther was very fast, and it rushed to the front, beside him was Yisun who was holding a magic weapon. The spirit leopard suddenly fell down when he turned his head, and everyone else noticed the abnormality at this time. Yi Sun, who had the highest cultivation among the several people, also hurriedly turned his head to take a look, his expression was extremely panicked, as if he had sensed some kind of mortal danger. In fact, his reaction was still slow, and the old man had already let out a third cough.
When Yi Sun turned his head, his body suddenly fell into the snow, this is not right, he is rushing forward! At this moment, Yi Sun couldn't react more, but subconsciously waved the magic weapon in his hand to block the attack that seemed to be invisible.
The magic weapon was not swung out, but the hand he held the magic weapon flew out. Yisun may be a little more "lucky" than Fubao, because he is farther away from the old man, his cultivation is also higher, and he can react to certain attacks. In the midst of the cough, he was only cut off by the waist and broke an arm, but he was not dismantled like a leopard, and then let out a heart-rending scream.
Not to mention the monks of the Mountain of Beasts. Even Baoyu and the others, who were preparing to meet the enemy, were stupid!
There were a total of six people and one beast present in the Beast Mountain, and the old man also let out a total of seven coughs. The first three tones are extremely fast, almost instantaneous, and the next four tones are a little slower. It sounds a bit breathing, but it's also very short.
The fourth cough sounded, and the other Beast Mountain disciple who was running behind the leopard stayed in the snow with his legs below his knees, but his body continued to pounce forward, and his head rolled out again when he fell.
The other three Beast Mountain disciples let out an irrepressible exclamation, turned around and ran away in panic, they hadn't fully figured out what was going on, but how could they dare to continue to rush up the high slope to make a move! These people were all Four Realm cultivators, and they could also sense an invisible edge appearing in the cold snowfield air. It was as if an invisible blade flashed.
As soon as they turned around, the old man coughed up a fifth sound. Another person flew out diagonally from his left shoulder to his right waist, half of his body with his head attached.
The remaining two galloped away, already performing the fastest form in their lives. But no matter how fast the body was, it didn't cough as fast as it was, when the sixth cough sounded. The head of the man running behind suddenly dropped, and the headless body rushed out a few more steps before falling.
The last person took the opportunity to flee away, and he also reacted to what was going on, the strange murderous edge was actually accompanied by the coughing sound of the old man chopping wood. At this time, he had rushed to thirty zhang away, and the old man finally let out a final cough, and he had time to react, and he rushed to the back with all his strength to sacrifice the magic weapon.
This artifact is glorious. Suddenly, there was a "Canglang" sound, and it was like being slashed by something, and then the brilliance was shattered and shot far away. With this opportunity, the last Beast Mountain monk had already rushed away with his life, not daring to stop at all, not even daring to turn his head.
......
Baoyu kept staring at the old man. No one in the room observed more closely than him, and from the very beginning he realized that it was the old man who was killing someone—coughing and killing someone!
When the group of beast mountain monks suddenly rushed over with their magic weapons, Baoyu also took out the stone eggs, and he was very nervous. It's not that I'm worried about myself or the old man, but I'm worried about the safety of my companions. Except for the Fu Leopard who wanted to attack and kill the old man and the spirit beast Black Panther, the rest of the opponents all showed their magical powers, indicating that their cultivation was at least above the four realms.
On Baoyu's side, Xiao Tian should be able to deal with the spirit leopard, and even if he himself can fight three of them one by one, Hanxiong, Dajun, and Xiaojun may not be able to block the other two. Hanxiong and Xiaojun have just broken through the Four Realms, while Dajun only has three realms of cultivation, while the other party obviously has a higher cultivation level and deeper magical powers.
This is not a competition with the same door, you can go back and forth, calmly show offensive and defensive means, and the slightest carelessness in the real fight can be born and die immediately. In case Baoyu is entangled for a moment, the senior brothers may be killed or injured, Xiao Jun must not have an accident, Hanxiong must not have an accident, no one can have an accident!
Baoyu's primordial spirit stretched out, paying attention to all the movements of his opponent. He was ready to turn the stone egg into five, waiting to shoot at the most suitable distance, blocking five enemies at the same time, and commanding his brothers to stand behind him and form a formation to meet the enemy. He also noticed the scene of the leopard attacking the old man on the high slope, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
To Baoyu's surprise, he didn't even understand how the old man made a move? It seemed that the old man didn't make a move at all, just bent over and coughed there with a long pole in his hand, but what happened in front of him had already stunned him.
The snake girl stood behind the old man, her eyes glared at this scene, her face was pale, and her legs and even her lips trembled. She also heard the old man's cough, but she didn't realize that it was the cough that was killing, and she held one of the old man's arms and gently patted his back with her other trembling hand - it was completely unconscious.
It wasn't until the last Beast Mountain monk finally sacrificed his magic weapon to block the strange blow that appeared inexplicably, and Baoyu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, realizing that he was actually in a cold sweat. The old man's coughing voice can kill people, which is beyond the imagination of the world, and beyond the cognition of monks like Baoyu.
But the last blow shows that in the face of its attack, there are still traces to be found, and it is not completely impossible to prevent. Otherwise, when you encounter such an opponent, you will simply stretch your neck and wait for death, there is no point in running away, and you don't even know how people make a move, anyway, you will be beheaded when you hear a cough, and you don't know where to hide!
In the end, the person who escaped, among the six monks of the Beast Mountain, was second only to Yisun, he had already fled dozens of zhang away, and he was fully prepared for the strange attack in the wild running, and he tried his best to use his magical powers to block the blow after all. Since he can do it, if he gets along with each other, Baoyu should be able to do it too.
This shows that if you are fully prepared in advance and keep a long enough distance, in the face of the old man's strange methods, it is not powerless to resist, at least not as inexplicable as the death of those people just now. And Yisun and Fubao and the others were defenseless at all, and they didn't understand the old man's methods at all, so I am afraid they couldn't even think of it.
......
The old man's cough did not succeed in killing the last disciple of the Beast Mountain, he stood up straight with the long pole in his hand, and had no intention of pursuing. It seems that with his identity and cultivation, if he misses a blow in the face of such an opponent, he will not continue to catch up and make a second hit.
The old man didn't chase him, but Baoyu couldn't let the man escape, but he stopped as soon as he wanted to move, because the man didn't escape.
In the end, the Beast Mountain Monk then rushed out not far away, and Leng Buding heard a sound of breaking the sky, and countless arrows were shooting head-on. His reaction was not slow, he dodged a few arrows, and in a hurry, he used the power of the Imperial Object to unleash a few more arrows. But he was running forward at full speed, the magic weapon was lost and he was only on guard behind him, as if he had crashed into a rain of arrows, how could he completely dodge?
All the people on the high slope looked over there, and they saw a large crowd of people rushing in the snowy mountains and forests. This winter plateau covered by heavy snow suddenly gives people a sudden change, as if it is a spring atmosphere, full of graceful and delicate, simply beautiful. Here came the snake maidens, hundreds of snake maidens, armed with bows and arrows and all kinds of weapons.
I didn't expect to see such rich and vivid colors in such a winter. Snake girls are gorgeous and delicate, and they also like to decorate and dress up. They collect red brocade stamens to make brocades, and they also weave down from the colorful feathers of various birds, and even the fur clothing, which is the most common in the wild winter, has to be put together into beautiful patterns with various natural patterns.
What's more, these snake women are all charming and energetic, they are also the elite of the tribe, and the moving aura is intertwined, and there is probably no man in the world who does not feel amazing and **.
The leopard's head had fallen to the ground, but the big wound on his neck was sealed by the cold and did not bleed, his eyes were wide open, not yet completely dead, and he saw this scene dimly from a strange angle. He went into the mountain to find the snake girl, and now there are so many beautiful and bewitching snake girls in front of him, but it is the last scene he has seen in the world.
Hanxiong on the high slope also made a move, and Yisun and another Beast Mountain monk whose body had been cut off were not yet dead, and their heads were still struggling in the snow with their upper bodies attached, letting out panicked and miserable screams. The screams were so ugly and terrible that they didn't look like a human voice anymore. Hanxiong swung two sword lights and gave them a painful pleasure, and the screams came to an abrupt end.
Daejun stood there as if petrified, his mouth wide open and he forgot to close it. That scene just now is a rare horror in the world, and now this scene is a rare surprise in the world!
A large group of snake girls came quickly, only to hear one girl shouting, "Lan Mei'er, are you okay?"
Lan Mei'er was the name of the snake girl just now, and she walked towards the snake girls, and replied as she ran: "I'm fine, but fortunately I met a few righteous people...... They slew the murderers!"
Until this moment, Lan Mei'er didn't figure out who killed that gang of bad guys. She just helped the coughing old man, and watched the murderers fall to the ground one by one and die, so she naturally thought that it was the magic method used by Baoyu and others on the high slope. As for how those people did it, she didn't know how to cultivate supernatural powers anyway, so she didn't have to think about it.
Xiao Tian suddenly let out a cry, because it heard that it was the snake girl Qi Luo who had just shouted. Qi Luo looked up in the direction of the dog's barking, and saw Baoyu on the high slope at a glance, and exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Xiaolu, it turned out to be you...... Did you save Lan Mei'er?" he said and ignored the fragments of corpses scattered on the hillside, and ran over with his feet drawn, looking very excited.
As for the other hundreds of snake maidens, they were still standing in place, looking curiously, but they did not come over to say hello. The habit of snake women is very taboo to contact men of different races, and adult men belonging to the snake tribe will not enter the village. They saw so many strange men at once, and although they were not hostile, they would not take the initiative to move forward.
Baoyu and the others had already walked down, Qi Luo ran to him and leaned over to make a big salute, Baoyu hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her and said: "No need to be polite, our senior brothers and sisters received the task of the sect on Wufu Hill to enter the Southern Wilderness Trial, but I didn't expect to encounter this incident." I wanted to make a move, but we didn't need to do it at all, these murderers were all killed by the old man just now......"
Baoyu picked up Qi Luo and stretched out his hand to point to the old man's location, but he was suddenly stunned. In just a blink of an eye, no one paid attention, and the old man was gone!
Turning around, Lan Mei'er also shouted, "Hey, where is the old man who chops wood? I'm still holding him by the hand!"
The old man was gone, the long-handled machete was gone, and looking at where he was, there were no footprints left. Not only did there be no departing footprints. When the old man was chopping wood in the woods, he did not leave any footprints in the snow. But the old man had plunged his long-handled machete into the snow, and there were still traces of it not far away, and not far away there were still six cold fire trees that he had just chopped, and the corpses of those beast mountain monks were scattered on the snow slope.
The disappearance of the old man was as strange as his killing methods, and it made people wonder if everything he had just seen was an illusion? He left without even saying hello, what kind of master was he? Baoyu had to suspect that he was using the talent and supernatural powers of some kind of monster, and judging by his cultivation, he was probably a demon king who had broken through the Eight Realms in the wilderness!
Daejun finally came to his senses. Hurriedly ran down the high slope to greet Qi Luo, said a long look, and then ran to the large group of snake girls, saluted and introduced themselves. He is a true disciple from Wufu Qiu, named Dajun, who is known for his handsomeness and heroism. When we meet for the first time, I will say hello to all the sisters, and everyone will be acquaintances in the future, so we should be close to each other.
All the snake girls looked a little frightened, seeing him approaching and even subconsciously flashing back, but they also knew that he had helped Lan Mei'er just now, and it was a "Shangxian" from Wufu Hill. It's not rude, he returned the salute with a very rusty movement, but he didn't answer, just looked at Dajun and said there alone.
