Chapter 54: The Horse Thief
The cold wind, the fierce howl.
The sky was swept by wind and sand.
The passers-by were covered with a thick layer of yellow sand, which was the ground in the northwest. It's the middle of winter, but the snow hasn't fallen.
The climate of the northwest is arid, and at a glance, the yellow earth, the yellow sandy ground, and the earth hills. Occasionally, some bare trees shivered in the cold wind.
Some crows croaked in the trees, adding to the desolation.
Bah!
Li He spat out, and as soon as the spit left his mouth, it was frozen into ice slag by the cold wind and fell to the ground with a clicking sound.
"The weather in the northwest is not good, the wind and sand are also strong, and the spitting and foaming are all ice slags, if it weren't for our deep Xuanli, I'm afraid we would be frozen to death directly, and I don't know how the people here survive the winter. As soon as a miscellaneous warrior opened his mouth, a gust of wind and sand blew over, and his mouth was full of sand, and he hurriedly spit it out, scolding and scolding.
A group of five people, braving the yellow sand, appeared on the northwest ground.
Su Shan is also naturally among them.
These five miscellaneous disciples of Yun Tiecheng received the task of the academy to come to the northwest realm to exterminate the vampire horse thieves, and they immediately dared to come, trying to get credit points.
This was a small group, but some of the other small groups were scattered in their own teams, and they did not meet with Su Shan. In Yuntie City, people are also divided into many small groups, each with their own interests, and gangs are very serious.
"Su Shan, you are so calm and relaxed, and your Xuan power is much more powerful than all of us. That Hua Yinhu glanced at Su Shan with envy.
By Su Shan's side, there was always a small air shield surrounding his body. It is a layer of Xuanli protective film, which prevents the wind, sand and cold, among the five people. The only Su Shan is clean and spotless, and the other four miscellaneous warriors are all covered in dust.
In fact, they can also use the occult power to protect themselves.
Because, they are all strong people in the eighth stage of Xuanli, and they are superb, but they are reluctant to consume Xuanli so much. It's not like Su Shan's unscrupulous consumption.
Originally, they entered the northwest land, and everyone's behavior towards Su Shan. I think it's a rash move with no experience, and you must know that the most important thing to come out to complete the task is to save your own Xuan power, so as not to be killed when you encounter a strong enemy.
Like Su Shan, for a little bit of wind and sand. Cold and wasteful behavior. It's just suicidal.
But along the way, Su Shan has always been a Xuanli protector, there is no fluctuation at all, his face is not red, he is not panting, he is plain, like a flood of autumn water, which has to be amazing.
They have also seen someone with such a powerful mystical power.
"That's right. Su Shan, we've seen you cultivate these days. But I haven't seen it once, how is your Xuanli cultivation, everyone doesn't know, why don't we practice and warm up?"
A disciple named He Jili was interested in the Tao.
He is the eighth stage of Xuanli, and his status is not low, and he is a noble disciple in the Holy Ancestor Dynasty. The family is not much larger than the rich man in the countryside like the Yang family, and there is even a supreme master of the life-snatching realm in the family, but he still has to enter Yuntie City to study.
"Hmm, don't worry about that now, I smell blood, it seems that there is a situation, come with me!"
Su Shan swished, his feet did not touch the ground, and he shot out violently, braving the wind and sand a few ups and downs, and he distanced himself from everyone.
"Why didn't I smell it?"
The other four miscellaneous warriors shook their heads, but they all followed.
The four of them flew in the cold wind, and in a short time they galloped for dozens of miles and came to a market. Everyone was stunned.
A huge bazaar, all of them were dead, dried corpses, dark red blood flowing from the ground, men, women, children, and even babies were all sucked dry, and the entire market was looted.
The dried corpses in the place were all hideous, and some people were clutching on things, and their whole bodies were lying on their backs, as if they were experiencing great pain on the verge of death.
In the middle of the market, there are also some wild wolves haunting it, gnawing on the bones of dried corpses, gurgling, and it has become a scene of hell on earth.
Su Shan gasped.
He stepped forward to investigate the body of a man in the prime of life and found a wound on the other's neck, which appeared to be a tooth mark. was actually bitten by life, and the blood in his body was sucked dry.
The cold wind was whining, and in this bazaar, which was full of dried corpses, the ghosts cried and howled, and the hearts of the people twitched.
A few terrible wolf howls.
Several wild wolves that saw a living person and tried to pounce were killed by Hua Yinhu with Xuan Li.
"It's such a cruel bloodsucking method, I don't know what kind of mystic power I'm cultivating. Sucking the blood of living people to cultivate Xuan Li This is a forbidden technique on the mainland, although the cultivation is extremely fast, ten times faster than ordinary Xuan Li, but all people will kill when they see it. I can't imagine that there are vampire horse thieves in the northwest, and if they are not eradicated as soon as possible, I don't know how many victims will be suffered if this continues. ”
Hua Yinhu shook his head, his identity is also a son of a great nobleman, the son of a marquis in the Holy Ancestor Dynasty, with extraordinary knowledge, he squatted down, blew away the yellow sand, and saw the blood marks of the horse's hooves one by one, leading directly into the distance.
He touched the bloodstains, "These people have only been dead for less than half a day, because the weather is too cold, the blood is coagulated, and there are still a lot of clues left in the scene, such a group of horse thieves, I am afraid that there are thousands of people, swept like the wind, and killed the people in this market cleanly, not more than a stick of incense, we chased along the horse's hooves, and we will definitely be able to catch up with these hateful horse thieves." ”
"This Huayin Tiger is amazing. ”
Su Shan listened to his analysis, and his heart moved, although he was powerful, but in terms of knowledge, all kinds of survey methods, and the horse could not catch up with these martial artists who had been trained for a long time.
What he is good at is fighting, and for those who are not good at it, he doesn't say a word and learns silently.
"Since Brother Hua has found out the clues, then we will hurry and kill all these vampire horse thieves. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and they all wanted to kill the demons.
Su Shan felt that these vampire horse thieves were really a scourge. There will be no peace in the world unless you get rid of it.
At that moment, Hua Yinhu took the lead and rushed out of the market along the horse's hoof footprints.
Outside the bazaar is the main road. The northwest is gray and gloomy, with mound towering mounds, and occasionally some houses standing among the mounds, but they are all dilapidated.
However, the northwest was also a thriving place thousands of years ago, but then the wind and sand gradually eroded up, and the place began to fall into decay. The crowd entered the northwest land all the way. Occasionally, you can see a tall castle left over from history.
Su Shan and the others walked out of this bazaar and tracked them for hundreds of miles, and it was late in the evening. It was already dark, but everyone was a master of Xuanli and could see everything in the darkness clearly, and the sky was cloudy. It looked like it was going to snow.
"Ahead! is a ruined ancient city. ”
Hua Yinhu pointed to the tall city wall road in front of him. "Be careful, there may be masters among those vampire horse thieves, and thousands of them may rest in the ancient city. ”
The ancient city is located in the cold wind of the night, and the pheasant moat records the vicissitudes of thousands of years ago.
The five of them all restrained their breaths, approached quickly, and found that there was no trace at the gate of the city, and it was obvious that it had been inaccessible for a long time. And there are no horseshoe prints. Apparently no horse thieves got into it.
"Lost?"
Hua Yinhu was silent for a while.
"It's normal to be lost, these horse thieves come and go like the wind. It's getting late, I think I'll find a place to stay in this ancient city for the night, and tomorrow morning, you see the clouds in the sky, there will definitely be heavy snow tonight, and we can't stand the ice and snow outside. ”
Li He made a suggestion.
Everyone looked at each other and felt that it had to be so.
In such a cold and snowy place, Xuanli Baduan can't stand it for a night when it freezes outside, not to mention that this is the weather in the northwest, and the spitting and foaming during the day will turn into ice slag, how cold will it be at night?
The five of them passed through the ruined city gate and entered the ancient city.
The streets of the entire ancient city lead into the distance, and the whirlwind sweeps through the streets, whining and whining, as if it is a ghost gate leading to hell.
The shops on both sides of the ancient city have long been deserted, and some of the signboards have decayed.
"Let's find a place to ......" Li He finished speaking, and suddenly squeaked, and the city gate behind him actually closed automatically, the sound was terrifying.
"Who!"
Among the five people, except for Su Shan, they were all startled and turned back violently. They all had a feeling of being ambushed.
Quack, quack......
It seemed that the crow was screaming in the night, and it seemed that the demon Yaksha had appeared, and the mysterious voice resounded, swirling in all directions, and I don't know from which direction it emanated.
"Be careful, there are weird things in this ancient city, forming a phalanx, back to back. Hua Yinhu hurriedly said.
As soon as his words fell, a strange blood shadow suddenly appeared behind him, fangs and claws, and pounced towards him, and the eerie ghost wind frightened people's hairs to stand up.
The mysterious blood shadow grabbed fiercely, and the bloody five-fingered claws shrouded the head, and the fierce blood-colored Xuan power directly cut through Hua Yinhu's protective Xuan power.
The strong smell of blood is a feeling that makes people faint.
Hua Yinhu screamed, and was so smoked by the bloody gas that he vomited, and he didn't have time to react, and he was about to be caught to death by the blood shadow.
"Give me death!"
Su Shan made a lightning move, and a mysterious force turned into a mighty wave, impacting towards the blood shadow.
The blood shadow was hit at once, and with a strange scream, it flew out and quickly disappeared into the ancient city.
This is a humanoid mystical force.
It was obviously exuded by a powerhouse at the level of the Qi Sect.
"Who?, vampire horse thief?" Hua Yin roared fiercely: "Your good days have come, we are the warriors of Yuntiecheng, you demons, come out quickly and die." ”
While he yelled, he used his occult power to transmit his voice: "This time, I'm just afraid that we are more than lucky, we were ambushed by horse thieves, and I didn't expect that there were Qi Sect-level masters among this group of vampire horse thieves." ”
There were actually five masters at the level of the Ninth Rank Qi Sect who sneaked up on five people.
That bloody blood shadow was the "humanoid mystical power" of the master of the Nine Stages Qi Sect, which was elusive.
If, under normal circumstances, the miscellaneous warriors of the five eight-stage encounters the characters of the ninth rank, I am afraid that they will all be wiped out. It's a pity that there is such a strange thing as Su Shan in the team, and the culling of the blood shadow was counterattacked by his Xuanli.
"Unexpectedly, there is a master among the miscellaneous martial artists of Cloud Iron City?"
The voice of the shadow test rang out.
Throughout the ruined ancient city. There were sound waves everywhere, and there were bursts of blood. The thick smell of blood again wanted to make people vomit.
"Quickly prepare the detoxification pill, this is the blood poison power. There is poison in the bloody gas. ”
Hua Yinhu took out an elixir from his arms with difficulty, which was an elixir that could expel poisonous gas. swallowed it like this, his face looked better, and a trace of blood-colored poisonous gas was forced out of his body by Xuanli.
"Brother Yang, you can eat one too. ”
Li He also took out the elixir to avoid poison, they were experienced and had everything ready. "We still have a chance to escape, as long as the Xuanli unite and send a signal. Disciples within a radius of a hundred miles would hear it and rush over quickly. ”
As he spoke, he snapped a firework bomb in his hand.
At every opportunity, rush into the sky. Beautiful fireworks can be unleashed. You can see it clearly for hundreds of miles.
This is a distress signal.
"No, this blood poison can't be contaminated with me. "Su Shan's body is always running with mysterious power, blocking all the filthy and bloody qi from the outside.
Even in the center of him, there were dozens of steps around, and the wind and waves were calm, and the weather became milder.
Sensing this, the other four immediately moved closer to Su Shan.
None of them are idle people, and they don't know what to see such a situation. Su Shan's strength far surpassed them. Usually he hides his strength, but now he has finally shown it.
"Su Shan. I can't imagine that you are deeply hidden. He Jili rubbed his hands excitedly, "Could it be that you have already been promoted to the Ninth Rank Qi Sect? I still want to compete with you, isn't that a humiliation for myself?"
"I'm not a Ninth Rank Qi Sect. Su Shan smiled and shook his head: "But you can barely compete with the Qi Sect, so don't act rashly, you can cooperate with me." ”
In fact, with Su Shan's cultivation and all of them, it is enough to find the Qi Sect master hidden in this ancient city and kill it directly, but this is too shocking.
He can only use the Undefeated King Fist, and the golden bell cover body has great mystical power.
You can't even use the Four Seasons Sword Technique.
Otherwise, if it spreads, it will be a big trouble for the Spring and Autumn Gate, and he is not afraid of it, but there is still a family, a father, and a big brother and a second brother.
However, with the majestic Xuan power, urging the Undefeated King Fist, the great Xuan Power of the Golden Bell Hood Body is enough, and it is not a problem to defeat the Qi Sect.
"Cluck, cluck, cluck......"
The miserable laughter of Yin Xuan Xuan resounded again: "Boy, you are actually so confident, thinking that if you are a little stronger, you can escape the palm of my hand? What a joke, a few boys who don't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, also want to learn how to slay demons and eliminate demons? However, you are all Xuanli Eight Stages, you are superb, and your blood must be greatly replenished, much better than the blood of some ordinary people, I want to suck you all dry." ”
"Hmph, pretend to be a ghost, come out. ”
Su Shan suddenly shook his feet, and a large stone on the ground shattered, which was urged by the Xuan Force, rotated at high speed, and shot violently towards the city wall, sending out a rumbling sonic boom in the air.
Hey?
An exclamation was heard.
Then the shadow of blood flashed, and the boulder was shattered.
A tall, blood-colored man walked out.
This man, with a hideous face and a pale face, can vaguely see two long canine teeth, which seem to be specially born for blood sucking, and his body carries a deep demonic aura, like a human and a demon, and the majestic blood-colored power is entangled around the body, turning into a circle of blood-colored rainbows.
He volleyed over from the city walls.
Every step is in the air, but it is like walking on the ground.
At the same time, there were many horse thieves on the city wall, hundreds of people, all of whom were profoundly powerful, at least they were masters of the fifth stage of Xuanli, Su Shan even saw more than ten strong people of the eighth stage of Xuanli, all of them were bloody, fierce and vicious.
These vampire horse thieves stood on the wall, looking at Su Shan and the others, it was equivalent to a group of hungry wolves seeing the food, and everyone's eyes were naked.
"It's over!"
When Li He and the others saw this formation, their faces turned pale, and their hearts sank into the bottomless abyss.
Hua Yinhu couldn't bear it anymore and threw the fireworks in his hand into the sky.
Phew!
An extremely strong divine light rushed into the sky, exploded, and suddenly the sound of whistling was endless, and the word "sky" continued to flash out in the sky.
You can really see it clearly within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"Let it go. This seat has already been set up with a net of heaven and earth, and there are no people within a radius of hundreds of miles, and you want to call the disciples of Yun Tiecheng to come over. That's wishful thinking. ”
As soon as the leader of the Qi Sect fell to the ground, he looked at the fireworks in the sky, and did not stop it, as if he had no fear.
His eyes looked at Su Shan, "I want this kid's blood, and you can share the blood of the rest of the kids." ”
"Yes!"
Above the city walls. Many of the vampire horse thieves laughed maniacally.
"What should I do?" Hua Yinhu and the others all looked at Su Shan, and unconsciously, Su Shan's composure had become their backbone.
There were so many horse thieves in the ancient city. And all of them are masters, and if they all do it, it is impossible to even escape.
Su Shan frowned, "It seems that you can only show your true strength." Kill all the horse thieves in one fell swoop. However, this move will inevitably cause a bang. It's not good for me now, but it can instantly deter the four of them, and I can use it. As long as they don't reveal it, it's still okay. ”
Thinking about it, Su Shan's brows furrowed.
He's ready to go on a killing spree.
"Kill!"
The leader of the Nine-Rank Qi Sect's vampire horse thieves suddenly roared wildly and raised his hand.
Fierce battles, on the verge of breaking out.
However, just as he had just pronounced the word killing, a long howl suddenly came from a distance.
The long howl began to seem far away. But after a few breaths, it reached a distance of dozens of miles, and then the sound did not stop. The next moment it was like thunder, shaking the entire ancient city again and again.
When everyone listened, the color changed.
Even Su Shan's face changed.
Because, he heard it, no one he knew had such a majestic power, and the power contained in this long roar far surpassed that of any Qi Sect, dozens of times more clever than the Qi Sect, or even hundreds of times, almost one step to the sky, extraordinary.
"Could it be ......" Su Shan's whole body was shocked: "The master of the Death Realm......"
He originally wanted to burst out of power, but when he heard this long howl, he slowly retracted his Xuan Li and watched the changes.
The sound of a long whistle came to an abrupt end.
Then, a figure appeared on top of the city walls.
This figure is a young man, with a majestic instrument, dressed in simple linen clothes, with a sword on his back, like an ascetic, but the momentum exuded from his body can make people kneel down and worship.
As soon as he arrived at the city wall, his cold eyes swept by, and all the people who came into contact with his gaze trembled in their hearts, only to see a lightning bolt piercing the sky, and the eyes alone could control the soul of a person.
"You demons, so bold, you dare to set up an ambush and trap the warriors of my Yuntie City. ”
In his mouth, a sound came out.
The leader of the vampire horse thieves, Qi Zong, screamed, "Who are you?"
"Cloud Iron City Chu Tiange, you are dead, don't forget this name when you go to hell. Don't be a fool. ”
As the young man in simple linen clothes spoke, a round of scorching sun-like sword light suddenly erupted behind him, and the entire ancient city was illuminated by the sword light.
Those vampire horse thieves almost didn't react before they were directly pierced by countless sword qi, screaming and screaming, and their bodies were cut into pieces.
"Deadly ......"
The leader of the Qi Sect horse thieves roared and ran away, and a pair of bat wings condensed by blood-colored Xuan Power behind him glided and shot directly.
However, the scorching sun-like sword light shone all over the world, and everywhere was illuminated clearly and clearly.
Originally, the entire ancient city was a ghost town on this winterless night, and the yin atmosphere was dense, but now it was illuminated by the sword light of the scorching sun, and all the ghost qi was eliminated, making people feel very warm under the scorching sun.
In one move, how powerful is it to change the celestial phenomena?
"The Great Day has thousands of heads, jealousy is like a thunderbolt, how many elites are there?
Seeing that the leader of the vampire horse thieves flew up and wanted to run, Chu Tiange groaned with a leisurely expression, and a mighty sword qi swept through the air, and the leader of the vampire horse thieves screamed miserably, and he didn't have the slightest ability to resist, so he died under the sword qi.
Then, from the body of the bloodsucking leader, a blood-colored demon core flew out.
With just one move, hundreds of horse thieves, and even one Qi Sect-level horse thief, all died in this Chutian singer.
Killing people is effortless.
"See Senior Brother Tiange. Hua Yinhu, Li He and the others waited for the sword light to stop, and immediately lowered their heads.
"Hmm. Chu Tiange glanced at everyone, and then stopped on Su Shan's body for a moment, "It was the signal fireworks you sent just now." ”
"Yes. ”
"You miscellaneous warriors, it's really dangerous to come out to clean up these vampire horse thieves, I have already found out, this group of vampire horse thieves is cultivated from the seventy-two cave demon king blood demon caves under the command of the Hanging Mountain, taking advantage of the chaos in the world and wreaking havoc in the world. Chu Tiange looked at the sky, "You are not opponents, go back quickly." ”
At this time, several lion-like roars were heard from the sky.
Subsequently, several dark shadows appeared.
These black shadows are actually behemoths, and they are monsters with lion heads and bird bodies. Su Shan knew that it was a fierce demon beast called the griffin, an ancient alien species, which was domesticated by the academy and used for riding.
A few people jumped down from the griffin, and they were also the warriors of Yuntie City, and their status definitely surpassed that of the miscellaneous warriors.
"Senior Brother Tiange, you are really powerful, kill all these horse thieves, our griffins can't fly you. Several high-ranking martial artists let out a laugh and looked at everything in the ancient city.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Su Shan's eyes, and his eyes stared at a figure, a woman in royal blue clothes who had landed from the griffin.
It's her!
