Chapter 57: Fighting for Life
Seven or eight days have passed since the robbery and then escape.
In the past seven or eight days, Li Xuanji and Lie Yan have been running headless in the forest. Except for a little rest, all the rest of the time was spent in hiding, bloody battles, and running for his life, and he couldn't care about anything else, even eating and going to the toilet.
Since the old man surnamed Shi ate that elixir, his eyes that were blinded by the sneak attack and the arm that had abolished the spirit vein had almost recovered, and even the aura on his body was much stronger, and it could be said that he had returned to his peak state again. The only difference is that the appearance is much older, which is a powerful side effect after taking that elixir - overdraft of vitality!
Although this elixir will reduce the life expectancy of the person who takes it, its effect is extremely powerful. It can rely on the power of domineering medicine to restore physical wounds, repair damaged spiritual veins, and bring the injured back to the peak of their strength again! With this effect alone, many people can reverse life and death in a desperate situation and get a chance to survive. Therefore, this elixir is the life-saving elixir that many people dream of, and as for the side effects, compared with the chance of surviving, it can be completely ignored.
However, this elixir has long been extinct on the market, and it is impossible to buy it at all, and only some ancient inheritances still have refining methods. If one and a half of them occasionally appear in the secular world, there will be unimaginable auction prices.
Li Xuanji didn't expect that this old man surnamed Shi would have such an elixir, I'm afraid even the Yu family didn't know about it. When he swallowed this pill, Li Xuanji had a premonition that there would be a difficult escape next. And whether they will survive to the end will be unknown.
Fortunately, he was accompanied by the scorching flames along the way, and the escape speed was fast, otherwise he would have died in the forest long ago.
The wound on Lieyan's buttocks was a foot long, and after examination, it was found that it only hurt flesh and blood, and the rest was fine. After Li Xuanji prepared a little elixir for it and applied it, the wound began to scarre. However, after days of running wild in the forest with no path, its beautiful mane has become dirty, and its flesh has been scarred by branches. It can't eat or sleep well, and it's really old, so it's tired now. If it hadn't had the strong will it had trained on the battlefield, it would have collapsed long ago.
Li Xuanji caressed Lieyan's dirty mane lovingly, wiped the muddy water on the opposite corner on the top of its head, and then took out a large stack of cakes from the Qiankun bag and fed it in front of it, and there was a wooden bucket next to it, which was filled with water for it to drink.
It's really much more convenient to have a Qiankun bag, at least there won't be a scene of starvation when you flee. At the beginning, Li Xuanji purchased a lot of daily necessities in Pingyang City, and originally wanted to bring them back to his master to give them to his fellow disciples, but he didn't expect to use them in advance.
Although the multi-day escape almost broke the body of one man and one horse, it made the friendship and tacit understanding between one man and one horse deeper and deeper.
Lie Yan quietly gulped the delicious dough cakes, and drank a few sips of water from time to time, and his mood seemed to be very relaxed. Li Xuanji smiled, also picked up a piece of bread and ate it, as if he remembered something, he took out a piece of dried meat from the Qiankun bag and rolled it into the bread to eat together.
Blazing Flame snorted rough air in his nostrils, his long tongue licked the back of his hand, and his big eyes stared at him sideways.
"You want to eat it too? This one is made of meat. ”
Blaze nodded, his long tongue licking his nose and lips.
"Okay. As long as you don't have a bad stomach. ”
Li Xuanji took out another large piece of jerky, rolled it into two dough cakes, and handed it to Lie Yan. Lie Yan opened his mouth, took two pieces of bread into his mouth in one bite, rubbed his upper and lower jaws, chewed it heavily, and shook the long mane on his neck, as if he was enjoying it.
Looking at its appearance, Li Xuanji was dumbfounded, and then smiled again. I really don't know what 'skills' it has learned with Ling Zhanye for more than ten years.
Li Xuanji was about to take a bite of the cake in his hand, when his face suddenly changed and he quickly lowered his head. The blazing flame beside him also stopped moving, slowly crawling behind a lush thorn.
Through the gap in the thorn bush, I saw a bison in the open space in the distance, the bison was huge, its two curved horns were as thick as two stalagmites, but there were many knife wounds on its body, and there was blood on its mouth and nose. There was a person sitting upright on the bison's body, and this person was the old man surnamed Shi who had been chasing and killing Li Xuanji for days!
The old man's face was gloomy, and the clothes on his body were already torn in many places, and there were many blood stains on them. These are the injuries caused to him by Li Xuanji in the previous encounters. However, he hurt Li Xuanji more, but Li Xuanji had the clothes in the Qiankun bag to change, and there were many elixirs to regulate his body, which looked much cleaner and decent than the old man. As for the bison that the old man sat on, it should have just recently been surrendered and used to hurry.
"Little bastard, come out and die! I know you're hiding here, you can't escape. Don't hide, let the old man see how capable you are!"
Although the roar of the old man surnamed Shi was a little hoarse, it was powerful and powerful, and I am afraid that it could be heard within a radius of one mile.
Li Xuanji and Lie Yan didn't move, they didn't dare to take a breath, and they just waited for the other party to move away quickly after they couldn't find anyone.
"Rustle" a slight movement came. Li Xuanji quietly turned his head to look, but saw a squirrel jumping over from nowhere, standing, staring at the dough cake in his hand with black bean-like eyes, and his nostrils were still inhaling, which was very cute.
Li Xuanji waved his hand to drive it away, and if it made a sound, his position would be exposed. But instead of being afraid, the squirrel came much closer. Blazing grinned at it, only to stop it.
He reluctantly put half of the white bread in his hand on the ground and pushed it towards the squirrel. The persistence of foodies is terrible, and if you are not satisfied, you may not leave.
When the squirrel saw the white bread on the ground, he took a few steps forward excitedly, picked it up and took a bite, and ate it with relish.
But unexpectedly, another squirrel ran up and snatched the white bread from it. The two squirrels squeaked and cranked.
Li Xuanji stroked his forehead and sighed. People are not as good as heaven!
"Haha, little bastard, the old man has found you!"
With a long roar, the old man laughed wildly and jumped off the back of the iron bull, and galloped over, and shot a dozen cold iron nails.
"Don't come out!" Li Xuanji told Lie Yan and then took out the white jade dragon staff and attacked it, shooting down most of the cold iron nails in one trip. Then, with one move, he split the world and stopped the old man's strong attack. The old man had a big knife in his hand, and he slashed with a knife in both hands, not afraid of the white jade dragon staff in his hand at all.
The sparks of a knife and a stick are splashed everywhere, and the moves are fatal and ruthless, and the danger is full of dangers. The white jade dragon staff in Li Xuanji's hand was just able to resist the attack of the old man's big knife by virtue of the advantage of being one inch long and one inch stronger, and heavier than a thousand catties. If it weren't for the fact that the big sword was just an ordinary magic weapon, and the grade was too poor, I'm afraid he would have been defeated.
The two people's moves continued one after another, one was just and brave, and the other was angry, both of them fought to the death in a way that opened and closed. The sword light and the shadow of the staff shattered countless boulders, breaking large branches of trees, and the dirt and stone chips scattered everywhere the two passed.
The old man's eyes were blood-red, and his hatred was monstrous, and when he saw that he couldn't take the other party down for a while, he pinched his sword and stabbed it out.
The old man's attack was sudden, and the distance was too close, even if Li Xuanji retreated fast enough, he was still cut through the corner of his clothes by the cyan sword, stabbing the skin and flesh, and there was a long wound with blood.
Li Xuanji said angrily: "Old immortal! Don't think that only you can spell, I will too!"
I saw that before his words fell, he flicked his palm, and a crystal clear nail shot into the old man's face. The old man was frightened and hurriedly swung his knife and slashed. The glittering spikes shattered and vanished. Li Xuanji's palm was thrown again, and one after another long nails were shot at the old man's body. The old man's big knife played into a knife curtain, blocking all the spikes that came at him. The spikes were slashed by a large knife and disappeared.
"Hmph!
"Really? Let's see how this trick goes. ”
After Li Xuanji finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and tens of thousands of crystal needles as thin as toothpicks burst out, shooting towards the old man's whole body like a torrential rain. The old man was taken aback, and hurriedly retreated while waving his knife, slightly chaotic.
At this moment, a palm poked out from the long needle of the rainstorm, grabbed the flaw in the old man's figure, and quickly pointed at his abdomen - the dragon finger!
That's right, Li Xuanji tried his best to use the Hundred Flowers Fingering to simulate a magic attack just for this trick sneak attack! Only the Imprisoned Dragon Finger could trap the other party and win a glimmer of life!
The old man, who realized that he had been deceived, was furious, and slapped his backhand on Li Xuanji's chest.
Li Xuanji only felt that his chest bones were crisp, there was a feeling of collapse, his heart tingled, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his throat. The body rolled and flew out.
"Herod!" a voice rang out, and he felt his body not hit the ground, but a sturdy body. The flames appeared just in time, preventing him from falling harder.
"What's the matter? Why can't I use my spiritual power? Little bastard, you sealed the old man's spiritual vein? It's spiritual magic again! Are you a spiritual magician?" the old man touched his lower abdomen and said angrily. Suddenly understood something, and asked, "Xiao Xiaonian's spiritual skills are so good." You're the mysterious young psychic who has recently become famous in the Imperial City, and you're the one who cured the eldest lady of the General's Mansion?"
Li Xuanji helped Lie Yan to stand up with difficulty, and snorted coldly: "What if it's a young master?"
Hearing the other party's own admission, the old man was shocked and speechless, and then laughed wildly: "Hahahaha, not bad, it's really a demonic genius." The old man had already heard of your name in the imperial city, but I didn't expect that you were not only good at spiritual arts, but also talented in cultivation. A young man like you is really the only old man to see in his life, and if he encounters a famous family, he will definitely focus on training. ”
After the old man finished speaking, his face changed again, and he said fiercely: "It's a pity that the old man hates geniuses the most! Why should geniuses be cultivated in a focused manner? Why are ordinary people like me not taken seriously? Today, the old man is going to kill a genius and see what is the difference between your flesh and blood and mine! Today you can't escape, even if I am sealed by your spiritual vein, it's a pity that I am already seriously injured." I can hack you to death with just a knife. ”
Li Xuanji stared at the old man with his eyes and was silent.
The old man smiled and was about to step forward, but he stopped and bent down to pick up something on the ground. In the palm of his hand lay a small piece of golden gold medal, on which were engraved the words 'Dragon Picture'!
As soon as he saw these two words, the old man's face changed greatly, and he asked urgently, "Are you from Longtu Pavilion?"
“...... What do you say?" Li Xuanji didn't know why, but seeing the other party's reaction, he pretended to ask in a profound rhetorical manner.
The old man's face changed again, and after a long time, he laughed: "Little bastard, even if you are from Longtu Pavilion, I am not afraid! The old man killed you in this deep mountain and old forest, and then destroyed the corpse, what can they do to me? You will obediently suffer death!"
After the old man finished speaking, he came with a knife. Li Xuanji let out a long sigh, it seemed that he was going to make the last fight.
At this moment, the ground trembled slightly, and a roar was heard from the depths of the forest, rolling towards this direction like an earthquake and tsunami.
