Chapter 11 The Enemy
......
Humans are really clumsy, even if they learn to draw qi into their bodies.
Li squatted under the window, listening to the movement and whispering above his head, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
It wasn't until there was no more sound at the window that she patted her tail and got up to leave.
It's just past the clock, and it's still a good time to dream, especially for those who don't have access to a hotel room and have to sleep in the dilapidated thatched huts on the edge of town, who are more susceptible to nightmares.
But for some reason, Li suddenly lost interest.
Even the braised beef in his arms seems to have lost its former fragrance.
A monk who wants to understand demons is ridiculous enough, not to mention that he also thinks that prejudice can be eliminated through understanding and propaganda, what is the difference between this and suicide?
Of course, he can't be blamed for this. With his barren insight, it was natural that he could not understand what the Privy Council represented.
It took hundreds of years of blood accumulation to forge the current order and the status of the Privy Council in the world. Any act of crossing the line is considered an unforgivable challenge. Even the one who guided her had no power to resist in the face of this behemoth, let alone a small alchemist?
If he can't get through, it's just that, no matter how much nonsense he talks about when he returns to his hometown in the countryside, he will only be treated as a crazy man's babbling. But once he passes the assessment and becomes an official alchemist, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, the end will definitely be a dead end.
It stands to reason that she should be happy.
After all, there can be one less Fang Shi in the world, and she doesn't have to do it herself, which is undoubtedly a good result. But unexpectedly, she found that she couldn't be happy.
Why...... Will it be?
Li couldn't think of an answer.
Obviously, I've only known each other for two days, and I don't even know each other's names.
She had seen many people, heard many people say many things, fear, begging for mercy, threats, resentment, murderous intent...... All that remained in her mind were vague emotions, and as for what was said, she had almost no impression of what was said. But every word of this young alchemist, she actually remembered it vividly, as if the two of them had talked more than they had said in the past few years.
"Could it be...... You're a picnic lover too?"
This is where the first exchange began.
The opening is completely confusing, but there is an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and nostalgia.
Li walked to the edge of the town, took out the cloth bag wrapped in braised beef, hesitated, and threw it to the bottom of the cliff.
If she wants to be an enemy of the Privy Council, she is destined to become the enemy of all the alchemists, and it is better not to see each other again.
"What should I be doing, it's a fox demon. β
At this moment, a rough voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Li's tail suddenly stood up, and she turned her head suddenly, only to see that there was an additional figure ten steps away.
It was a tall human male, nearly six feet tall, shoulders nearly twice as wide as normal, and a pitch-black high-necked robe, shaped like a hill in the faint moonlight.
Such a burly person can actually come to him without a sound?
The alarm bell in her heart suddenly sounded!
and the three red embroideries on the other party's shoulders...... Although she didn't know the specific rank division of the Privy Council officials, it was the first time she had seen a priest with three horizontal bars.
"I am the tyrant of the heavens, and I am the guardian of the southern land of Qiguo. The other man's voice came from under the silver mask again, "What's your name?"
β...... You don't need to know. Li bent down slightly, revealing the fangs at the corners of his mouth.
"Don't worry, that's just the first question. Ba Xingtian said unhurriedly, "Second question, what is the purpose of you coming to Qingshan Town to disturb my Great Enlightenment Examination?"
"And the last question......" he paused, "who ordered you to come?"
Li sneered, "I can't just want to come by myself?"
"Demons rarely set foot in human territory, and living like wild beasts in the wilderness forest is what you should do. Besides, the place where the examination was held is a secret of the Privy Council, and if no one directs it, you can find it here?"
Ba Xingtian stretched out his fan-like palm and made a gesture of false grip, "It doesn't matter if you don't answer now, I can give you time to think." When I grab you, break your joints little by little, and twist your fingers, you'll be able to say a good thing all at once. β
While the fox demon stared at the tyrant, the tyrant was also looking at her.
Nine people were eliminated on the first day, and the number of people skyrocketed to seventy-four on the second day - although anything could happen in the barcode exam, the panicked looks on most of the exiting candidates still caught his attention.
Ba Xingtian vaguely remembered that three years ago, there was a similar problem in the Hidden Island Shikao. However, the content of that exam was related to mental pressure, and he couldn't get past the invigilator to directly intervene in the exam at that time, so it ended in a hurry. It wasn't until this round of Qingshan Town Shikou that he suddenly remembered the connection between the two.
To his surprise, the culprit turned out to be a fox.
The fox demon is good at charm and illusion, which can reasonably explain why the candidates are restless, but what the tyrant can't figure out is why the other party is just intimidating and not doing it directly. It's normal for monsters to hate Fangshi, especially this kind of person who comes to the door on a special trip, and after finding the opportunity, he should kill them on a large scale.
The only possibility he could think of was that the other party had a deeper purpose.
And such a purpose is usually not something that ordinary demons can think of.
Moreover, after two consecutive taxi exams, one of the examination rooms could be found to make trouble, which made Baxingtian even more inclined to this speculation.
The fox demon's age does not seem to be very old, which means that her strength is limited, and it is best to catch her alive, and then torture her to get the news of the mastermind behind the scenes, which is a safe move.
"Let me ask you, have you ever killed a demon?" Li said after a long silence.
"Of course. "The overlord said without thinking, "There are still a lot of them." β
"What about the kind of demon who has nothing to do with people and even lives alone?"
"What's the difference? When I ran them over, I wasn't interested in asking them about their lives. β
"So...... You can't be innocent. Li took a deep breath, his feet slammed into the sky, and he threw himself towards the overlord like an arrow from the string-
She took the initiative to attack!
Since he wants to be an enemy of the Privy Council, it is inevitable that he will have to fight with high-ranking officials, and the person in front of him is one of the high-ranking officials. If they can be killed here, they will effectively weaken the strength of the Privy Council.
In an instant, Ba Xingtian felt a monstrous killing intent rushing towards him!
The ground beneath his feet seemed to turn into a sea of blood, and the pungent smell of blood rushed to his throat, sticky as if it was about to choke his breath. The flowers and trees around him are gone, replaced by stumps and scattered internal organs.
In such an environment, let alone fighting, it is not easy for ordinary people to even maintain their feet.
Attacking at the same time as launching illusions to enhance one's own chances of victory? Ba Xingtian couldn't help but secretly praise, it was really a good set of tricks! Unfortunately, others might be shocked by the sea of corpses and blood, and he would only feel his blood boiling!
With his feet firmly on the ground, and at the same time his body leaned slightly sideways, he pulled his right arm to the limit and swung it out with all his might, hitting straight in the direction that the fox demon was rushing from!
With the loud sound of the collision, the illusion shattered!
The blood light in the sky disintegrated and peeled off like glass, and the fox demon flew out upside down, rolling several times before stopping, and he only took two steps back.
When Li stood up again, the five fingers of his right hand had been significantly deformed.
"I've been in the army for a long time, and I've long been used to seeing bloody battlefields, and your moves will only make me even more uplifted. He raised his hands, only to see that the pair of giant palms were bloodless, but like granite stones, their translucent texture was no different from that of stone, "To deal with you, I only rely on these palms." β
"Genshu, Guishen?" Li frowned.
"Oh, you even know this?" said Tyrant Tian, "The magic must not be passed on easily, even the family is no exception. Not only did he violate this order, but he also taught it to the demon ...... I'm trying to find out more and more about the person behind you. β
"You can try it!" she leaned out again, but this time instead of attacking head-on, she pulled out a Z-shaped line.
"Drink!" the tyrant roared, and assumed a face-to-face posture on the spot - responding to all changes with the same is the method of battle he is most familiar with! In the face of overwhelming power, no trick is to worry about!
While running, the fox demon actually took out a talisman from his arms.
What a rebellion! The tyrant couldn't help but be furious!
He was not angry with a single youkai, but at the person who passed on the magic to the youkai! Demons are born with qi and instinctive spells that can be used without teaching, and in terms of talent, demons are superior to humans. Their biggest disadvantage is that their instinctive spells are basically fixed, such as fox demons are changeable and good at disturbing their minds, as long as they restrain this, they will have nothing to do.
Because of this, teaching magic to demons is an absolute taboo, and it is also the consensus of all Fangshu. Now someone dares to defy the condemnation of the world and openly violate the prohibitions of the Privy Council?
It's not a pity for this person to die!
Despite this, the tyrant had no intention of retreating. Nature is nature, and the monster wants to use other spells because of instinctive spells, and he has seen that the talisman is clearly a dry talisman. Even if you don't know the specific strokes, but the fox demon belongs to "Kan", and there is a "Xun" position behind "Qian", even if it can be successfully stimulated, the effect is extremely limited.
What's more, she has already lost one hand, and the dual technique guided by the talisman alone is not worth mentioning at all!
However, as he made his way through a patch of grass, Li swept his tail and threw a large piece of debris at him.
What kind of trick is this?
Only young children fight that such ridiculous tactics are used.
Even if there were dozens of daggers flying in there, he didn't need to dodge at all when he was possessed by Genjutsu - Immovable Myojin.
Overlord opened his arms and grabbed at Liβthis time, he decided to break her other hand as well.
In the midst of a splash of gravel and weeds, he saw the other man's closed eyes.
and a few fireflies that were swept over together.
"Qianshu, for Yin!
In an instant, a bright white light bloomed between the two of them, filling the entire field of vision of the Overlord Heaven!
