The twenty-third round

When Zhao Zheng was thinking like this, Cao Xiong and Lu Bao had already fought for more than a dozen rounds, only to see these two people collide fiercely in mid-air, and then each of them flew a distance. Cao Xiong flew all the way five zhang away before he stopped, and Lu Bao stopped at three zhang, which shows that there is a certain slight gap in the strength of the two.

"Hehe, is this all you have in this class?" Lu Bao sneered, his eyes lit up, he rounded the big shovel in his hand, poured a black gas-like demon yuan internal force into it, and then attacked Cao Xiong again.

Cao Xiong gritted his teeth, his eyes reddened, and he waved his long knife to meet him.

The two heavy weapons, the shovel and the broadsword, collided together, shaking off a few bits of black smoke and sparks, making a crisp sound.

After Lu Bao's move, he followed one move after another, and his whole body shook slightly, and a demon element's internal force rushed out from his back, rolling to form an evil demon image, about one zhang high, with teeth and claws, quite terrifying. The black demon condensed by the internal force opened its mouth and spat at Cao Xiong on the opposite side, spitting out a stream of flame-like black gas from its mouth.

This black qi looks not much different from the ordinary internal force of the Demon Yuan, but if you look closely, you will find that this black gas is more condensed, and the power must be much more than the ordinary internal force of the Demon Yuan.

Cao Xiong didn't dare to underestimate it, so he made a move to "be a husband", danced the big knife in his hand impenetrable, and guarded his own door.

The black qi continued to bombard the sword light, and then it was frequently shaken away, and flew around, causing the surrounding mid-air to be filled with diffuse black gas.

Seeing that there was more and more black qi around him, Zhao Zheng, who was a spectator, lit up his eyes and noticed something. Secretly said badly.

Just when Zhao was about to make a reminder. But it was too late.

I saw a sinister smile flashing on Lu Bao's face. With a flick of his arms, he pointed a shovel weighing as much as three hundred catties at Cao Xiong's front door, and a loud shout came out of his mouth: "Black Lotus Gathering!" ”

The black qi scattered around was pulled by Lu Leopard, like a pack of wolves pounced on food, and pounced on Cao Xiong in the center, the attack was extremely fierce, and it was impermeable, and there was no flaw at all.

Seeing so much black qi rushing towards him. Cao Xiong's face changed slightly, and he poured an extremely strong internal force into the big knife in his hand, and then threw it out. This big knife emitted a dazzling white light, like a living thing, and revolved around Cao Xiong, playing a role of both offense and defense. Cao Xiong himself was not idle, after throwing out the big knife, his arms were folded under his ribs, and a clear drink came out of his mouth, and the internal force in his body was like an explosion. It exploded in all directions.

Lu Leopard's blow has no dead ends, and Cao Xiong's defense also has no dead ends. Tightly protected.

The black qi rushed towards the white light, enveloping it all and forming a large black cocoon. This stalemate lasted for a few breaths, and then a burst of cracking sounds sounded, and white light seeped out, dazzling to the extreme.

"Dog officer, it's not over yet!" Lu Bao burst into a shout, brandishing a big shovel and slashing down in the air, and the demon phantom floating behind him followed the trend, and along with the big shovel, it slashed towards the black and white light cocoon. The blow was not loud, but it was very sharp, setting off a strong wind that blew people's cheeks.

Just as the shovel was about to split on the light cocoon, a sharp sword burst through the air and stimulated a dragon-shaped sword qi, detonating the sound of a dragon's groan, and slammed into the pole of the shovel. With a crisp sound, the shovel was shaken back by the sword, leaving a deep mark on the impact because the sword was so sharp.

Lu Bao was shocked, stared at the person who drew the sword, and found that it was Zhao Zheng who had been guarding the side. He shouted angrily: "Shameless people, they are two against one! ”

"We are now killing thieves, and we are not fighting in the rivers and lakes, so why pay attention to one-on-one, one-to-one." Zhao Zheng shouted, and did not take this as an intent, and made another ruthless move in his hand, making a move "a dragon flying into the sky", and slamming a sword upward. A dragon-shaped sword qi burst out in response, and it was slamming into the black demon, and it was all gone, and both of them dissipated without a trace.

"Hmph, since you made a move, I will kill you together!" Lu Bao screamed twice, recondensed the scattered black gas, and rolled it into a storm with the shovel in his hand, rolling towards Zhao Zheng.

Eight-armed fist, one blow of divine fist!

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up, and he unleashed his eight-arm fist, using the limited Buddha Yuan internal force in his body, which condensed into a huge arm that was two feet long, and slammed towards the black storm. The giant fist emitted a soft glow of pale gold, as if it had been blasted out by a golden-bodied arhat. The giant fist collided with the storm, forming a devastating momentum, blasting away all the black qi.

The internal force of the Buddha Yuan has a certain restraining effect on the internal force of the Demon Yuan, and the internal force of the Demon Yuan also has an erosive effect on the internal force of the Buddha Yuan, and the two restrain each other and can cancel each other.

At the place of confrontation, the internal force of the Demon Yuan no longer scattered as it did just now, but completely disappeared. And Zhao Zheng's huge arm was also eroded to a certain extent and became dilapidated.

"Lu Bao! Death! Zhao Zheng snorted, the golden light surging behind him, and the broken Buddha Yuan giant arm repaired itself, changed back to its heyday just now, and continued to bombard towards Lu Leopard.

The black qi tornado that Lu Leopard swung out had already exhausted its strength, and it was also inferior in terms of angle, and it could no longer be used to resist Zhao Zheng's move. In desperation, he had to turn the shovel sideways and use the pole of the shovel to resist the punch. The fist collided with the lever of the shovel, causing an extremely strong impact, causing the shovel to bend significantly.

"Ah!!h Zhao Zheng's shouting became stronger, and the strength on the giant arm continued to rise, making the bending of the big shovel more obvious. In addition to the simple strong power, the fist of the giant arm also bloomed with the light of the Buddha Yuan's internal force, like the sun shining through the darkness, and it shone fiercely on Lu Bao's body, making him feel bursts of tingling, and the Demon Yuan's internal force in his body was also affected.

In the next moment, Lu Bao finally couldn't resist the terrifying destructive power of this blow, and was shocked back, flying more than ten zhang all the way, and finally stabilized his body.

At the same time, Cao Xiong finally tore through the internal power of the demon yuan like maggots on the tarsal bones, and danced with a big knife that shone with white light. Break out of the cocoon of light. Out of danger.

"Mr. Cao. Don't be rash, let's deal with him together! Zhao Zheng proposed.

"You have a point, let's go together." Cao Xiong nodded slightly, no longer reckless, raised his figure, and flew side by side with Zhao Zheng.

The internal power of the Buddha Yuan in Zhao Zheng's body is extremely limited, and it is difficult to replenish it after consumption, so he is easily unwilling to use it. After one move, he slowly withdrew the giant arm into his body and settled in the dantian.

Lu Bao looked at Zhao Zheng and the two angrily, his expression changed, and he seemed to be in a dilemma between fleeing and fighting. In the end, he still gritted his teeth and attacked Zhao Zheng and the others unwillingly. This time, he used his twelve-point ability, and while flying, he directly released as many as three internal force demons. Even if he can't afford this kind of consumption, after releasing it. His face was visibly two points pale, and he lost a little blood.

These three demons are obviously very difficult to deal with. Zhao Zheng sighed secretly, but it was a pity that the internal force of the Buddha Yuan in his body was too little, and it was not the internal force of his major. Otherwise, directly unleash the three Buddha Yuan internal force arms, and it will be easy to defeat these three demons. However, it's useless to think about these things now, even if you don't have enough Buddha Yuan internal strength, you still have to fight hard.

Zhao Zheng reached out with his left hand, slapped lightly at the heavenly machine box behind him, and released all the eight swords inside, leaving one to protect his body, and controlling the remaining seven swords to attack Lu Bao.

Cao Xiong next to him was slightly stunned when he saw that Zhao Zheng had this swordsmanship ability, somewhat surprised. Until now, he couldn't figure out Zhao Zheng's identity, at first he thought that Zhao Zheng was just an ordinary young knight, because he couldn't get used to what Yuezhaoshan did, so he would run to the iron gate to deliver the letter. But now it seems that Zhao Zheng's identity is obviously not as simple as he thought, and he should have some background.

This thought flashed through Cao Xiong's heart, and then he cut off the thought and focused all his attention on dealing with Lu Bao's offensive.

From the perspective of cultivation realm, the three people on both sides of the war are all on the front line, but there is still an obvious gap, after all, there is a difference between the Eight Heavens and the Eight Heavens. Due to the fact that Lu Bao's cultivation method is very evil, his moves are tricky and weird, which is more difficult to deal with than most ordinary Eight Heavenly Martial Artists.

Fortunately, Zhao Zheng has enough hole cards at the bottom of the box, and all he has learned are exquisite martial arts, otherwise he really can't stop Lu Bao, the "little devil of the mixed world".

Zhao Zheng displayed the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique, controlling seven swords to entangle an evil demon, and he himself met Lu Bao himself plus an evil demon. As for the last demon, it was naturally handed over to Cao Xiong to deal with.

The three of them fought in one place, killing in the dark, because of Zhao Zheng's help, the situation between the two sides was very different from before, Zhao Zheng's side obviously had the upper hand, forcing Lu Bao to be a little embarrassed, tired of coping. Not long after the fight, I heard a loud dragon roar piercing through the heavens and the earth, and a dragon-shaped sword qi slammed into an evil demon, shattering it alive and turning into wisps of black smoke.

Losing an evil demon, Lu Leopard's situation became even worse, one move and one style were full of dangers, and he was attacked several times in succession, his clothes were torn, and blood-red wounds appeared.

Despite the extremely dangerous situation, Lu Bao still had no intention of escaping, as if he had something to rely on.

"Lu Bao, look at the knife!" When the fight reached the end, Cao Xiong shouted, and made a move to "sweep thousands of armies like a sweep", holding the big knife tightly and sweeping the sky. The big knife turned into a half-moon-shaped cold light, and slashed at Lu Bao. At this time, the two were extremely close to each other, and this move posed a huge threat to Lu Bao.

At the last moment, Lu Bao bent down suddenly, but he dodged the blow, then straightened up, rushed towards Cao Xiong, opened his mouth, and shouted at Cao Xiong at close range. In his mouth, a faint black light emerged, this was not an ordinary roar, but a sonic martial arts move!

"Roar!!

The sound wave flashed with a barely detectable pale black light, and it slammed into Cao Xiong's face, who screamed in pain and pain.

The trick that Lu Bao just used is called "Heart-shaking Demon Sound", which can have an impact on the mind, making people distracted and unresponsive. The effect of this move is very average when it is performed at a distance, but when it is performed at close range, the effect is extremely good, and even the Yae Heavenly Warrior is difficult to resist. It is precisely because of this hole card that Lu Leopard refuses to escape, but has been fighting with it. He's been waiting for the chance to perform this trick, and now he's finally getting his wish!

Martial arts masters. A single mistake can be fatal. Not to mention the long period of distraction.

Lu Bao won with one blow. With a happy face, he shook the shovel in his hand and stabbed Cao Xiong in the neck, intending to kill him in one fell swoop.

At this time, Zhao Zheng was in the distance, fighting with an evil demon, and he was really out of reach, so he secretly said that it was not good, and turned all the swords in mid-air around. Attacked Lu Leopard. It's a pity that he is too far away, and Lu Bao and Cao Xiong are too close, even if they make a move at this time, it will be too late.

In an instant of life and death, Cao Xiong, who was distracted, probably reacted instinctively, and made an iron plate bridge kung fu in mid-air, and leaned towards the rear. This small action helped him save a life, and it happened to dodge this blow. However, Lu Bao did not bypass him, but slashed the fallen shovel and launched a relentless pursuit.

Cao Xiong was distracted. I couldn't react in time, and I was finally hit by this shovel. Extremely badly injured, he fell downward, his life and death unknown.

In the next moment, Zhao Zheng's sword followed closely and quickly approached Lu Bao. Because Lu Bao's mind was all on dealing with Cao Xiong, it was a bit of a desperate blow, and it was too late to dodge, and he was stabbed by these swords, and blood splashed all over the sky.

Zhao Zheng would not be merciful to people like Lu Bao, after a hit, he simply killed the killer in one go, controlled the sword to pursue, and he also raised his sword to meet it.

I saw the sword light flying in the sky, penetrating Lu Leopard back and forth several times, no matter how high his ability was, he couldn't survive, and he fell headlong. After Lu Bao's death, the two remaining demons immediately dissipated, turning into two clouds of black mist, losing their threateningness.

After killing Lu Bao, Zhao Zheng flew down to check Cao Xiong's situation, his heart couldn't help but hang, and his forehead also sweated. If something happens to Cao Xiong, Tiemen Pass will lose its backbone, and even Jiyuan County will be affected, and it will be even more difficult to deal with Yuezhao Mountain at that time.

Fortunately, Cao Xiong did not die, but was seriously injured. He covered the wound on his chest, flew up leisurely, and shouted "Lu Bao Hugh go", and even had to fight with Lu Bao.

"Mr. Cao, Lu Bao has been killed by me, you don't have to look for him anymore." Zhao Zheng saw that Cao Xiong was so energetic, and his hanging heart was put down, "Are your injuries serious?" ”

"It's heavy, but it's not dead, it's not in the way." Cao Xiong waved his hand and looked down at the injury on his chest. Thanks to the armor he was wearing, he was able to offset part of the attack, otherwise, he would have been more than just injured.

Zhao Zheng reached into his arms, took out a healing pill and handed it to Cao Xiong. After the battle just now, the latter had established a certain trust in him, and without much hesitation, he swallowed the pill directly.

Although the thief had been ambushed, there was still a large group of minions to be cleaned up, and the two did not delay much, and immediately launched an encirclement and suppression operation.

Zhao Zheng flew to the ground, found Lu Bao's body, and grabbed it in his hand so that it could be used to deter the thieves. Cao Xiong turned around and joined the large army in one place, and led the large army to rush to the mountain den where the thieves were hiding.

Because the battle site of the three of them was far away from the mountain nest and located in the air, the thieves in the mountain den did not figure out the situation, and still followed Lu Bao's order to stay in the mountain nest, looking like they were waiting for the battle.

Zhao Zheng flew to the vicinity of the mountain nest first, landed in the woods, and did not show up, but waited for a more suitable time to appear.

It didn't take long for Cao Xiong to lead the troops to rush to the vicinity of the mountain nest, and divided the soldiers into two groups, one group was ready to attack, and the other group was evacuated, and the mountain nest was surrounded to prevent the bandits from escaping.

Seeing that the soldiers were ready to fight, Zhao Zheng felt that the time was ripe, grabbed Lu Bao's tattered corpse and jumped into the mountain nest, threw the body on the ground, and shouted: "Lu Bao has been ambushed, you don't surrender quickly!" ”

The corpse happened to fall in the middle of the crowd, and when the thieves saw that this was Lu Bao's corpse, there was a great chaos, and the screams came and went. Lu Bao can be said to be the backbone of the group of thieves, Lu Bao died, and the group of thieves suddenly became disheartened and their fighting spirit was low.

Cao Xiong then led the soldiers into the mountain nest, and the soldiers roared loudly, the sound was like thunder, echoing in the mountain nest, shaking the hearts of the thieves.

I don't know which thief shouted and ran, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many timid three characters chose to flee and fled to the other side of the mountain nest. There was a sudden chaos in the mountain nest, and it was directly messed up into a pot of porridge.

Cao Xiong gave an order, and the soldiers took advantage of the situation to cover up and attacked. This group of soldiers is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, killing the bandits on their backs with a posture of torture and killing.

Zhao Zheng immediately joined the battle group, flew all the way to the exit on the other side of the mountain nest, and fell down without waiting for the group of thieves to rush over, and stood here like a pass. After the scattered group of thieves fled here, he immediately performed the Qimen Imperial Sword Technique, harnessing the sword to start slashing. After he had killed dozens of people, the bandits who were trying to escape were finally frightened and rushed back to the mountain nest one by one. These bandits were greeted by Cao Xiong and many soldiers, so that the bandits fell into the disadvantage of being attacked on their backs, and there was no way to escape.

Later, the surviving bandits simply chose to abandon their weapons and surrender, and threw their blades on the ground one by one, not daring to move any more.

The battle was a complete victory, killing Lu Bao, killing many bandits, and capturing many prisoners.

However, this is only the beginning, and the bandits on Moonlight Mountain are much more than that. (To be continued......)
