For Jiuhan and the others, battle and death are on the way. Behind them was the way they came, and soon they could see the light and see the hope that they could escape and ascend to heaven, but on the way forward, there were five spirit beasts, or fierce beasts, intercepted in the air, and they really couldn't think of any solution other than fighting.

The three snow leopards scattered into a fan shape and gradually approached the group of nine and a half. The eyes of the snow leopards seemed to be extraordinary at the moment, and the six eyes flashed with a green glow at the same time, as terrifying as ghosts in the middle of the night. The eagle was still standing on the head of the snow leopard in the middle, but it lowered its head slightly and raised its wings slightly, and its feathers stood upside down into a state that seemed to be very nervous. The eagle's talons shone with a cold light, and the sharpness and coldness were actually no less than the most dangerous swords in the world, and they also surpassed the cold steel. These four beasts are like war machines about to set off, and the next moment they can take off into the air and instantly injure or even kill people.

And there are outliers among them after all. The one-man tall mastiff stood there quietly, its hair covering its eyes, no one could feel its gaze and thoughts, but its majestic body was a wall or even a city, and it seemed that it could not be surpassed or jumped over when it stood there. Although the snow leopards are dangerous, and the eagle's talons also shine with the light of death, Wei Xicheng and Jiuhan can see that the mastiff is the last and thickest line of defense to stop them, and if they can't get past it, they will never be able to escape.

As the four fierce beasts gradually approached, sweat quietly flowed down Wei Xicheng's cheeks. He quietly shook the double knives in his hands, and then lowered his voice and said to Jiu Ban, "Jiu Ban, are you sure?" His voice was very low, even a little hoarse, but after all, it could not escape the ears of Ba Yu and Shi Jia. The man's body was trembling slightly, not as light as the leaves in the cold wind, but still maintaining the majesty of his mountain.

Jiu Ban smiled, but his eyes were still firmly fixed on the four-headed beast that slowly walked in front of him to form an encirclement and said, "If nothing else...... There shouldn't be any problems. ”

"What does that mean?"

"Probably hope...... I hope that the Mocking Wind Monarch won't be too optimistic about a few of us, and if another Sage is sent to copy us from behind, I'm afraid the game will really be over. Jiuhan's tone was relaxed, and he shrugged his shoulders slightly to show helplessness, which was indeed the case. The five fierce beasts in front of him definitely had the ability to intercept or even kill a saint, Wei Xiyan may not have noticed it, but the master of the ninth half of the holy realm could clearly feel the flow of the breath between heaven and earth, and he felt something strange. The breath in heaven and earth was still stable on the other four fierce beasts, and their cultivation was basically temporarily stuck in the realm of demi-saints, but the mastiff dog had an extraordinary appearance, and Jiuhan could clearly feel that its realm was not as good as his own, but he had an unfathomable premonition.

So in fact, what kind of hole cards did the Mocking Wind Country take out in order to intercept them?

I don't know where the wind came from gently blew through everyone's ears, and at this time, Hachiyu actually felt comfortable. But the next moment, this feeling was broken, and the three snow leopards rushed forward at the same time, and in an instant, they pounced in front of Jiu Ban and Wei Xicheng. As if he saw the difference between the cultivation of Jiuhan and Wei Xicheng, the two snow leopards on the left and the left rushed straight towards Jiuhan, while the other snow wolf opened its bloody mouth and bit Wei Xicheng's shoulder.

The sound of gold and iron rang out violently, the sound of Wei Xicheng's sword and the eagle's talons colliding with each other. Wei Xicheng didn't know where the eagle was sacred, but the speed at which it came first was terrifying. If it weren't for Wei Xicheng's quicker reaction, I'm afraid his eyes would have been gouged out by the eagle's claws at this time. After staggering past the eagle, Wei Xi took the opportunity to meet the snow leopard that pounced on him, and with a turn, his double knives were raised and slashed towards the snow leopard's chin.

It seemed that in Wei Xicheng's field of vision, he had already seen the scene of the snow leopard's head being split open and blood spilled on the ground.

But who knows, Wei Xicheng's sword skills are very fast, but the snow leopard is not weaker than him at all. At the last moment, the snow leopard suddenly retracted its momentum and turned sideways, passing by Wei Xi's knife. The beast may seem stupid, but in fact it is very shrewd, and it has bought life at the cost of a cut on its shoulder.

On this side, Wei Xicheng was still proud, and even the snow leopard had to avoid its edge, but the next moment he was suddenly shocked, what was this beast going to do after passing by him? Isn't there the eight feathers and the division armor who have almost no resistance behind him? Thinking of this, Wei Xicheng suddenly turned around and was about to turn around to rescue, but the next moment the eagle pounced and actually entangled with Wei Xicheng, so that he could not get out.

"Nine and a half, go and save the eight feathers!" In Wei Xicheng's perspective, the snow leopard only left an afterimage and flashed behind him, and he himself was entangled by the eagle and could not get out, so there was no room for maneuver at all. At this moment, the middle-aged man's heart seemed to be full of guilt, and he seemed to be able to meet the future where Eight Feathers and Shi Jia died because of themselves.

The sound of gold and iron resonating loudly, and within three breaths, Wei Xicheng's knife slashed at the eagle's talon several times, and finally the slightest crack appeared on the eagle's talon when it was visible to the naked eye. The rift was not deep or clear, but the actual pain was probably something that only the eagle himself could understand. With a scream, the speed of the eagle's hovering suddenly accelerated, and he slammed down from mid-air, and then directly pounced on Wei Xicheng's face, his claws flashing with cold light.

Wei Xi raised his sword in defense, and he put his double knife on his face, and the blade was outward. The surging breath of his body seemed to bless the sharpness of the blades, and the man was certain that as long as the voice dared to pounce on his face, it would definitely die. However, the expected exchange did not appear, and a gust of wind swept over Wei Xicheng's face, and when he looked back, the eagle had already flown behind him, and seemed to fly in the direction of the mastiff without any war.

He was secretly happy in his heart, but in an instant, it was half cold. Shi Jia and Ba Yu are in danger, why can they be so relaxed! Secretly scolding that it is not good, he turned around again and wanted to immediately withdraw in the direction where Ba Yu was behind him, but before he turned around, he only heard a loud "bang" appear, and then when he slowly turned his head, he only saw that the snow leopard was grabbed by the neck and pressed into the relief on the wall. The relief and the leopard prime collided with a loud sound, and even the candle flame was knocked away, and gently fell to the ground, and the lamp oil scattered to the ground, and even the flames were burning.

The crisis between the Eight Feathers and Shi Jia was resolved, and all this happened in the midst of the lightning and flint, hiding behind the giant shield without them knowing.

Turning his head to look at the surrounding situation again, Wei Xicheng already knew it in his heart. One of the two snow leopards that had just pounced on the nine and a half had fallen to the ground, its mutilated head seemed to be being eroded by some kind of force that Wei Xicheng could not understand, and a huge claw mark on his face was a cruel sign of the heavy damage he had received before his death, and now his life breath was gone. The other snow leopard was not much better, it was pacing five feet away on one of its front legs with a limp, and there was a hole in its head at some point, blood flowing through its slightly squinted eyes, making it look terrible and eerie at the same time.

"Nine-and-a-half, how are you, are you alright?" Wei Xicheng shouted at him.

Nine and a half looked up at him, shook his head and didn't say much. At this time, he was carefully examining the corpse of the snow leopard, although the head had been smashed and deformed, the snow leopard that had just died exuded a strong "corpse qi", which made Jiuhan shudder.

What is "corpse qi"? Judging from Jiuhan's current world view, such a thing as corpse qi is ethereal and should not exist. After recalling his identity as Lin Ze, Jiuhan is actually a person with a dual worldview personality, and the people cultivated by the modern technological world deny reincarnation and do not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods. In Jiuhan's opinion, this corpse qi is actually the strange smell emitted by the corpse after it decomposes, but if you interpret it from the perspective of the Nine Kingdoms, the corpse qi in the Extreme Dao world is an existence that symbolizes reincarnation. It is the most common breath in the afterlife, and all creatures that carry the spirit of corpses are those who have returned from the capital of the deceased, and should never be underestimated. However, it is fortunate that the two snow leopards killed by Jiuhan directly attacked their heads, and carried out the most direct destruction of their central nervous system control system, so the two snow leopards failed to fight back.

After all, it is very likely that these two snow leopards are the legendary corpses, which can explain why the snow leopard standing can still maintain the desire to attack and do not run away, although one of its front legs is almost broken, and such a precious snow leopard can appear at the same time with three heads to ambush them.

Thinking of this, Jiu Ban suddenly shuddered and shuddered a little. If this view is used to explain the mastiff...... I'm afraid it's really not that simple.

Invisibly, Jiu Ban seemed to feel that the danger factor around him was gradually increasing, he stood up, his eyes stared at the snow leopard whose front leg was broken by his own punch, and did not look back, but said to the eight feathers and Shi Jia behind him: "Don't leave that shield under any circumstances, unless I say it's safe, understand?"

Regarding Jiuhan's voice, Ba Yu and Shi Jia gave a firm affirmative answer in unison. At this time, Wei Xicheng walked over, one of the two knives in his hand was on his shoulder, and the other was in his hand, and he said with some pretense and ease: "Nine and a half, your strength is simply too surprising to me, you killed two snow leopards yourself, don't I have to make a move next......?"

"Don't be kidding, Brother Wei, haven't you noticed anything wrong?" Nine Half shifted his gaze to the mastiff not far away, that is, the dragon mastiff. The mastiff, which was suspected to be a dragon mastiff, was already lying on the ground at the moment, sticking out its tongue and panting, as if it was resting and waiting for someone. The eagle perched on top of it stared at them as if it were staring at a flock of dead people, flapping its wings. "Big brother, you have walked the rivers and lakes for so many years, you won't be clumsy, that eagle is the legendary golden eagle, don't you see?"

After listening to the words of Jiuban, Wei Xicheng looked towards the golden eagle vulture, at this time they no longer had a sense of crisis in battle, but when Wei Xicheng looked at the eyes of the golden eagle eagle, he suddenly found a trace of cloudiness in those eyes. The eagle is a rare species with excellent eyes among all spirit animals, and the golden eagle vulture is the best among them. The eagle's eyes are never cloudy, except when it is actually facing death. At this time, the cloudiness in the eyes of the golden eagle eagle was a unique feature that would only be displayed when it was close to death, and after discovering this, Wei Xi was uneasy.

"Nine-and-a-half, how do I feel the eyes of that eagle...... Something is wrong?"

"It's full of turbidity, isn't it?" Nine Half turned his head to look at Wei Xiyan and said, "It's not just that. The two snow leopards I killed just now also exuded a strong corpse aura, and I'm afraid there is something wrong with all this. ”

"Corpse gas?!" After hearing the word "corpse qi", Wei Xicheng's eyes were full of consternation, and his eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost alive: "How can this be? Isn't corpse qi emitted by dead people?"

His reaction seemed to be expected by Nine-Half, on the contrary, Nine-Half's tone was very relaxed, he paused and then said, "That's true." It stands to reason that corpse qi only appears on the body of the deceased, but since this snow leopard can appear on this body, I am afraid that there is only one explanation left - they are returning from the kingdom of the dead. ”

The return of the land of the dead, this identity is enough to scare a group of people to death. Thinking of this, Wei Xicheng and Jiu Ban fell silent for a while. It may be that cultivation has limited their imagination, and at this time, even Wei Xicheng can't imagine it, and even dare not imagine the true identity of these fierce beasts that intercepted them.

If the speculation is true, then I'm afraid that the controllers of these fierce beasts are secretly observing them near them. If the beasts are safe and sound, and they are killed, they may not be able to do anything, but at this moment, the three snow leopards have already died, and two of them have died, so how can the controller be indifferent?

Thinking about it, Wei Xiyan still spoke first, and he spoke to Jiu Ban in a tentative tone, as if he wanted to confirm their opinions to each other: "So what do you mean...... Necromancer?"

Jiuhan didn't speak, just turned around slightly and nodded.

A foul chill emerged, and the next moment, the snow leopard not far in front of them suddenly jumped up as if it had gone crazy, and pounced towards Jiuhan with a bloody mouth. It's just that one of his front legs has been injured, and the lack of strength has caused the jump height to not be high enough, which gives Wei Xicheng and Nine and a Half reaction time. In fact, Wei Xicheng's reaction this time was much faster than that of Jiu Ban, he suddenly stepped forward, and his two knives swung out from two directions at the same time and slashed at the snow leopard's head. This time, the injured snow leopard could not react in time compared to the previous one, and before it had time to dodge the good head, it collided with Wei Xicheng's double knives, and then the bloody breath spread, and the body of the snow leopard fell to the ground, dead that it could no longer die.

Jiu Ban sniffed hard, and as expected, in addition to the not strong bloody smell in the air, a corpse aura permeated. The smell of decay made him very uncomfortable, after all, Jiu Ban is also a person with the ability to cry graves, how can he not be sensitive to dead things? But at this time, three snow leopards have died one after another, but none of the snow leopards' souls have left the body, and I am afraid that the truth can no longer be clear: these snow leopards are dead things, and there are no souls.

The corpse slammed to the ground, and there were no screams or sighs that followed, but a continuous "snap" of applause. Then another unfamiliar footstep came, and Jiu Ban and Wei Xi followed the prestige, and under the cover of the candle flame, a thin man clapped and walked out from behind the mastiff not far away. His face was hidden in the half-light and half-darkness, but a pair of inverted triangular eyes flashed in the darkness with an unknown strange light, as if it was a mysterious creature wandering between the two worlds, which made people shudder at the sight.

With the appearance of the man, the golden eagle vulture let out a cheerful chirp and then soared into the air, and Shi Shiran landed on the man's body. A pair of sharp claws, though sharp and reliable, were as soft as fluttering feathers on a man's body. The man gently stroked the golden eagle on his shoulder, and then looked at Jiuhan and Wei Xi, and when he looked at it, his mouth made a sound that was neutral between joy and shrity:

"Hehehehe, the person who can kill my three snow leopards is really extraordinary, and he can guess my identity so easily. It's just that you've already killed my three treasures, can you still hope to escape from here?"

The mastiff beside the man suddenly yawned and shook his head as if he had woken up.
