"What do you mean by that?" asked Wenber, confused.

Duan Tiande didn't answer, but looked up at the foothills on both sides, and didn't mean to rescue the townspeople.

"Master, shall we do it?" Looking at the townspeople who were about to be slaughtered, Wen Bo was worried.

"Wait!" Duan Tiande said coldly.

"But-" Wen Bo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Duan Tiande's fierce eyes, he knew that this matter was not negotiable.

Wen Bo looked at the foothills on both sides suspiciously, and there were already a few lights on the originally dark foothills. In his heart, he immediately understood what Duan Tiande meant, he wanted the masked man to come forward after killing all the townspeople, and confide in the residents of the mountain about this matter, according to his understanding of Duan Tiande, this was also in line with his style.

For a quarter of an hour or so, the masked men were riding their horses back and forth in the town to avoid any fish that slipped through the net, and finally the masked men who led the way saw the lights on the mountain road, sneered a few times, and prepared to turn away.

"Let's go!" Duan Tiande seized the opportunity, quickly urged the horse to gallop, and led everyone towards the town.

At this time, the street was already full of corpses, the river had been dyed blood-red, and there were bursts of * sound from time to time in the ruins on both sides.

Seeing a team of men and horses rushing out from behind, the masked man who was about to turn around was startled at first, obviously not expecting that there were other people in the town, and judging from the momentum of the horse team, the comer was not good, and the masked man immediately commanded a team of men and horses to come to stop it.

Duan Tiande saw that someone was blocking him, and immediately roared: "I am Duan Tiande, the lord of Phoenix City, don't get off the horse and surrender quickly when you are young!" As he spoke, Duan Tiande pulled out the gentleman's sword and swung it forward, only to see a golden sword qi flying sideways towards the comer.

After a few screams, more than a dozen masked people had been cut off by lazy waists, and then several injured villagers struggled to run behind Duan Tiande.

Duan Tiande arranged for someone to quietly send them to the mountain, hid among several families on the hillside, and continued to rush forward to kill.

But as soon as he heard Duan Tiande's name, the expressions of the four masked men changed suddenly, and they hurriedly drove their horses together.

"Big brother, what should I do?" said one of them.

"Didn't the intelligence say that Duan Tiande had already left the town?" the other said anxiously.

"Don't worry about it so much, don't get entangled, evacuate quickly!" the masked man in the lead pulled the reins of his horse and drove it back.

But it was too late, a sword qi had already been emitted on Duan Tiande's sword edge, and the four of them saw a golden light coming straight towards them, so as soon as they got on their feet, they immediately flew off the horse's back and rose into the air, the sword qi hit the necks of the four horses, and they saw the heads of the four horses rolling to the ground together.

The four of them were holding swords, the blades of the swords fell to the ground, the four of them took advantage of the momentum to turn over, and the four swords flashed cold light and stabbed towards Duan Tiande.

Seeing that Duan Tiande did not raise his sword to block, but gently stood up, flew away from the horse's back, and a golden wall of qi in front of him blocked the four swords in front of him, Duan Tiande sneered and said, "Carving insect skills!" Then with a wave of his big hand, the qi wall flew forward, and the internal strength of the four people was insufficient, only to feel that their chests were hot, and they were beaten more than ten zhang away. Duan Tiande took advantage of the situation to withdraw from the battle, got on his horse and ran towards the hillside.

The four of them stood up, only to feel that the tiger's mouth was a little numb, and the sword in his hand was also rattling, and Duan Tiande didn't seem to be ready to fight them, so they got on their horses and prepared to retreat.

However, as soon as they evacuated a few meters, they felt a heat wave hit behind them, and the four of them instinctively rose into the air, and the heat wave smashed a boulder not far away.

The four of them landed, and when they looked back, they saw that it was a silver-haired old man, holding a tiger head crutch more than four feet long in his hand, and the person who came was Wen Bo, who saw Wen Bo's eyes staring at the four of them, and two long white eyebrows about a foot long were fluttering on his temples.

Duan Tiande was already standing on the top of the hillside with a dozen followers at this time, quietly watching the battle below, and there were less than twenty of the hundreds of masked people left at this time, and four of the leaders were confronting Wen Bo.

Wen Bo held the crutch in his hand and slowly exerted his strength, only to see a burst of white light slowly emerge from the crutch, and in an instant, the whole crutch was wrapped with a layer of white mist.

When the four of them saw it, they couldn't hesitate, and they all swung their swords to attack Wen Bo, Wen Bo saw that the four sword qi rushed towards him, flew away, dodged the sword qi, and saw that the sword qi instantly destroyed several houses behind Wen Bo, Wen Bo looked at it, sneered, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Waved the crutches casually, kicked on a big tree next to him, and then flew towards the four people, without waiting for the four people to react, Wen Bo's crutches still flew in front of them, and the four of them only felt a heat wave flying past their ears, but fortunately they dodged in time, only to be blown over by the heat wave.

Wen Bo quickly turned around, put the crutches across his chest, recited a spell, and the crutches instantly divided into four, flying towards the four people with a flash of white light, and the four raised their swords to block, but they were obviously at a disadvantage, and within a dozen rounds, the four of them were already out of breath.

Duan Tiande silently watched the fight in the town on the hillside, and thought to himself that the people who could fight with Wen Bo for so long in the Imperial Forest Guard must not be ordinary people, and these four people from the perspective of body shape and footwork, although they tried their best to hide it, they still revealed a kind of Ouyang family figure, and they could get Ouyang Zhen's personal guidance, presumably these four people were also extremely close to Ouyang Zhen.

Wen Bo used the technique of shapeshifting and shadow changing, shuttling back and forth between the four people, and began to secretly admire the four people in his heart, judging from the aura of these four people, they should be at least above the qi king, and from their breath, at most they are in their early twenties, and it is really not easy to be able to catch so many moves of themselves, not to mention that they have not summoned their own spirit beasts, which shows that they also have a certain degree of confidence in their own qi realm.

"Although the aura realm of the four people has reached the stage of the Qi King, after all, the aura is insufficient, and the qi veins in the body have not been fully developed, resulting in the inability to exert the power that the aura should have. Wen Bo thought to himself, the four of them are very good seedlings of qi masters, but it is a pity that they followed Ouyang Zhen.

The battle is in full swing, the four of them are getting braver and braver, and they have the meaning of swearing to kill Wen Bo, Wen Bo's crutches in his hand keep sending out bursts of cold light, although he did not use all his strength, but he is old, and he has not fought for many years, and his physical strength seems to be exhausted after a long time, and he thought to himself, maybe they will have reinforcements, and when the reinforcements arrive, the two parties meet, I am afraid that it will increase the trouble, so I decided to solve it quickly.

Wen Bo jumped out of the circle, the crutches turned into four white lights, and they became one in Wen Bo's hands, Wen Bo flew into the air, threw the crutches in his hand into the air, put his hands together, and saw the crutches flashing with golden light, spinning rapidly in the air, and the wind suddenly raged around, flying sand and stones, and the river flowed backwards.

After all, the four of them are people who have experienced the war, and with their years of combat literacy, they immediately felt that the situation was not good, so they retreated, and the four looked at each other, it turned out that the reason why the four of them did not summon the spirit beast was that they were afraid of revealing their identities, but now if they don't summon it again, I am afraid that they will die here, so they decided to summon their spirit beasts.

I saw that the four people quickly lined up, the four people clasped their hands in front of their chests, and after an instant, the earth behind the four people suddenly cracked, and a giant ancient vine tree more than a foot thick emerged from the ground, the ancient vine tree vines were vertical and horizontal, and the vines stretched out grew rapidly, surrounding the four people tightly.

Then, the vines flew towards Wen Bo like chains waving in the wind, Wen Bo had finished reciting the spell at this time, and was about to start his work, when he suddenly saw thousands of sword-like vines flying towards him, so he hurriedly retreated, and the crutch instantly formed a golden shield in front of Wen Bo.

"What a strong Qi Yuan!"

Wen Bo shouted, and then from behind him there were hundreds of days of vines attacking, Wen Bo saw that he couldn't dodge, so he could only attack hard, so he quickly made a move, and the shield in front of him cut the attacking vines into thousands of pieces, but to no avail, more vines regrew to block in front of Wen Bo.

Wen Bo tried his best to move forward with the shield, the vines behind him were getting closer and closer, and he was exhausted, in desperation, Wen Bo held the shield with one hand, pulled out his right hand, and said: "Hurry!" I heard a long neigh, a red flying horse appeared next to Wen Bo, Wen Bo grabbed the reins with his right hand, and flew away.

The red feather horse raised its front feet, let out a long roar, waved its wings, and flew out of the circle surrounded by vines.

On the hillside, Duan Tiande watched all this closely, and when he saw the four masked men summoning a thousand-year-old vine, he was shocked in his heart, and secretly sweated for Wen Bo.

Everything in the world has qi, and there are countless people with qi and souls, from immortals and Buddhas, down to ghosts, gods, humans and animals, plus mountains, rivers, plants and trees, all of which are possible, and the qi master will be supplemented by spirit beasts, because spirit beasts also have souls, closest to the human race, their qi elements can be more well integrated with the human race, and although trees and flowers can also cultivate qi, in order to produce a spirit similar to the soul, but their qi yuan yin qi is too heavy, so few qi will directly absorb their qi element.

But there are exceptions, legend has it that there is a kind of tree in the world, known as the "vine spirit", which grows on the cliff on the north peak of the far north domain, due to the absorption of the essence of the moon for thousands of years, and gradually cultivated into the essence, it can actually move freely, although it still belongs to the spirit of the soul clan, but it can communicate with the human race.

However, the vine spirit grows in the extreme north domain, and it is on the cliff on the top of the north, and the extreme north domain is a forbidden area for the human race, so for thousands of years, there has never been a qi master who has been able to capture the vine spirit, but judging from the fight just now, there is no doubt that the four masked men summoned must be the vine spirit.

However, due to the huge size of the vine spirit and the deep strength of the qi element, it was impossible for a single qi master to control it, Duan Tiande had heard that Ouyang Zhen had four righteous sons under him, named Mu Tianlei, Mu Tianyu, Mu Tianyun, and Mu Tianfeng.

At the beginning, the news of the four brothers taming the vine spirit caused a sensation in the entire Dongli country, and people were surprised not only that the four brothers could control the spirit of the spirit clan together, but also how they entered the extreme north domain, you know, the contract between the human race and the elves clearly stipulates that the human race is not allowed to enter the extreme north domain.

But as time passed, people gradually forgot about it, and the four brothers rarely summoned the vine spirit in front of people, and the matter was over.

Seeing that the four brothers easily defeated Wen Bo with the help of the Man Spirit, Duan Tiande secretly sighed in his heart, even if he wanted to deal with the Man Spirit, it would probably take a little time, and the four brothers were so young that they could control this extremely yin thing so easily, it must not be a thing in the pool, but it was a pity that they couldn't use it for themselves.

Wen Bo rode a red feather horse and flew in the air twice, while the vine spirit kept waving the thick vines to chase Wen Bo, seeing that Wen Bo was already exhausted, Duan Tiande worked with both hands, only to see a golden ball forming between his palms with fire.

Duan Tiande pushed hard with both palms, and the fireball flew towards the vine spirit quickly, and when he was still more than ten zhang away from the vine spirit, suddenly four vines with thick bowls were born from the vine spirit's body, and then the four vines twisted into a single force, and flew towards the fireball with a green light.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the mountain shook, and a strong wave of qi blew over the surrounding houses in an instant, two strong lights collided together, Duan Tiande pointed with his right hand, and a golden light hit the fireball, which instantly became larger, and continued to push the vines forward.

The four brothers hid in the body of the manling, obviously feeling a powerful force approaching him, the four of them were also exhausted, the fireball was getting closer and closer, the four of them immediately put their hands together, and roared with all their strength, only to see a green light flash through the valley, and the manling and the four brothers disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in an instant, leaving only dense broken vines.

Wen Bo rode a red feather horse to the hillside at this time, his right hand was tightly on crutches, and he knelt down in front of Duan Tiande with a haggard face.

Duan Tiande hurriedly picked up Wen Bo and said, "Wen Bo, you're not injured, are you?"

"The incompetence of the subordinates bothered the master. Wen Bo bowed his head in shame.

"It's not your fault, the spirit is indeed too powerful, you have done your best. ”

"Man Ling?" Wen Bo raised his head in surprise, "So, those four people just now are the Mu brothers?"

"Now it seems that Ouyang Zhen has set his sights on us, it seems that we can't go to the imperial capital anymore, and the people we sent there earlier may have already been poisoned. Duan Tiande flew on his horse, leaving a few people responsible for settling the injured villagers.

"So what do we do now?" asked Wenber.

"Go back to Phoenix City, as long as I can return to Phoenix City, everything is under control!" Saying that, Duan Tiande and the others urged the horses to gallop and return the same way.
