Chapter 419: Escorting the Man Crossing the River
Before the behemoth approached Li Xiuping, the Qingying monk took the lead in appearing in front of Li Xiuping, and then a majestic sword qi rose directly into the sky, knocking the water monster out and falling back into the river, and the waves were turbulent for a while.
And as the behemoth fell into the river, the entire river surface boiled again, and one by one the same whirlpools as before continued to appear, but in an instant, countless similar water monsters appeared on the entire river surface.
Although the strength of these water monsters is not strong, there are many of them, and even if they are strong in the merger period like the Qing Ming Monk, it is difficult to kill them all for a while.
Now that the blue water unicorn is not there, the strength of Li Xiuping's group has naturally weakened, especially in this kind of large-scale battle, it will be relatively easy to have one more spirit beast in the god transformation stage.
The Qing Ming Monk looked at the water monsters that were still increasing, and frowned: "This is obviously for us, obviously the previous peace is waiting here." ”
Li Xiuping frowned and said: "What the predecessors mean is that these water monsters are driven by people, and the people who want to drive these water monsters to deal with us are naturally only the demons, or those who are involved with the demons." ”
The Qing Ming monk nodded and said, "I have always been in the realm of Tianchan Temple before, and now I have just left the realm of Tianchan Temple, and this kind of thing happened, other than that, I really don't know what other reason there is." ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "To be able to drive so many Jindan stage demon beasts, I am afraid that the strength of the people behind this will not be weak, so it must be in the distraction period." ”
The Qingying monk shook his head and said, "Even if it is a distraction stage cultivator, it is impossible to drive so many Jindan stage demon beasts at the same time, unless there is more than one person. ”
Li Xiuping's brows couldn't help but furrow again.
It is already a big trouble for so many Jindan stage demon beasts, and the people behind them who manipulate these demon beasts are the real threat, so the stronger and more numerous people behind them, the greater the threat will naturally be.
The Qing Ming monk continued: "You look at them, I will deal with these demons. ”
He then reminded: "Be careful, since the other party is coming for you, they will definitely regard you as the first target." ”
Li Xiuping retreated to his original position and stood with Chu Yan and the others, guarding against the situation around him.
Ahead, the Qing Ming monk rose into the air, and the fairy sword Qing Ming on his back was also directly held in his hand, and the sword was overflowing.
He first pushed forward with a sword, and the sword qi suddenly rose like a tide, and in an instant, countless demon beasts were wiped out in the sword qi.
At the same time as the Qing Ming Monk made a move, those demon beasts also began to attack, as the Qing Ming Monk said, the main target of these demon beasts was Li Xiuping, and they didn't pay attention to the Qing Ming Monk in the middle of the air at all.
Li Xiuping said in a deep voice: "Take them back." ”
The Fire Spirit True Man immediately pulled Chu Yan and Yang Erni and quickly retreated.
As soon as the fire spirit real person left with the two little girls, countless demon beasts smashed down, and they directly used their bodies as weapons to continuously smash Li Xiuping.
On Li Xiuping's body, the dragon scale armor emerged, the purple-gold flames around his body were burning, and his body was quickly moving on the ground, avoiding the bombardment of those demon beasts, and at the same time, he would also use the firewood knife in his hand to knock some demon beasts away.
Since Yan Xin woke up, Li Xiuping's injuries have not only improved, but now his strength has also been greatly improved, even if he doesn't know how to use sword intent, with his own martial arts cultivation, it is not difficult to deal with these demon beasts.
Li Xiu usually punches and sometimes swords, and every time he will not return in vain, and those demon beasts that seem to have a strong physique, after touching Li Xiuping's fist, will be blown into a blur of flesh and blood by the power of the fist gang, and some even the entire body will be blown to pieces.
If it weren't for Li Xiuping's need to guard against the sneak attack of the strong man behind him, the situation of these demon beasts would only be even more miserable.
However, even if Li Xiuping and the Qingying Monk attacked at the same time, it seemed that they were unstoppable, and those demon beasts could not pose any threat to them, but the number of those demon beasts was too much, and they were not afraid of death, as if they couldn't kill them no matter how they killed, and there was even a feeling that they were killing more and more.
Almost every time the two of them killed one, more demon beasts would emerge from the river, as if all the demon beasts in the entire river were gathered here.
It seems that what the Qingying Monk said is right, the other party has been waiting until now, and he must have been prepared for a long time, so if they want to cross this river, I'm afraid it is really not an easy thing.
No matter how strong the Qingming Monk and Li Xiuping are, no matter how much the two of them can kill, it is obviously not a way to continue fighting like this, because once the battle continues, the Qingying Monk may be able to support it, but Li Xiuping may not.
Although after Yanxin woke up, he alleviated many conditions in Li Xiuping's body, but the protracted battle was his shortcoming, and the other party obviously knew this, so he chose to block it in this way, otherwise he would not have come forward until now.
Li Xiuping is naturally very aware of his own shortcomings, and he also knows that such a situation is not good for him, so when dealing with those demon beasts, he used a few cautions and deliberately sold a few flaws, but the people behind him still did not make a move, so it can be seen that unless all these demon beasts are killed, or Li Xiuping and Qingming are defeated, otherwise the people behind them will not make a move.
After killing another wave of demon beasts, the Qing Ming monk spoke: "These demon beasts can't be too far away from the river, let's retreat first, and then think of a way to deal with it." ”
Regarding the proposal of the Qingying Monk, Li Xiuping nodded, no longer entangled with those demon beasts, and his body began to retreat, as far away from the river as possible.
As Li Xiuping and the two retreated, those demon beasts attacked more fiercely, and one by one the behemoths kept smashing on the ground, the roar was endless, and the whole ground kept shaking, and because of the obstruction of Li Xiuping and the Qingying Monks, the Fire Spirit True Person had already taken Chu Yan and Yang Erni away from the river and arrived at a relatively safe place.
On a hill, the two little girls looked at the battle ahead, full of shock, and at the same time, they couldn't help but worry about the safety of their master.
Although they know that their master is very powerful, and even in their hearts, their master is an invincible existence, but the number of those demon beasts is too much, and that kind of fighting style that is not afraid of death, anyone will have a numb scalp when they see it.
As Li Xiuping and the Qingming monks continued to move away from the river, the offensive of those demon beasts also began to weaken, and finally stopped completely, all the demon beasts, whether they were injured or not, actually retreated into the river, but in an instant, the entire river would have regained calm, if it weren't for the corpses of those demon beasts on the shore and the traces caused by the battle, as well as the strong smell of blood that filled the air, it almost made people think that nothing had happened before.
After those demon beasts stopped attacking, Li Xiuping and the Qingying Monk also breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the surging river in front of them, their faces were heavy.
The Qing Ming monk put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his back and said, "The other party's purpose is obvious, which is to stop us from going south, so as long as we don't get close to this river, there shouldn't be any danger for the time being." ”
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Now we all know that I am seriously injured, and if I can't get timely treatment, there is only one way to die." They tried all kinds of methods before, and even the Demon Venerable himself couldn't kill me, so naturally they knew that it would not be easy to kill me, but as long as they didn't let me go south, when the time came, the injuries on my body would attack, and they wouldn't have to make a move, and my own life would be lost, and naturally they would be able to achieve the goal they wanted. ”
The Qing Ming Monk nodded and said, "So this is indeed a trouble, because it is indeed much easier for them to just block it. ”
Li Xiuping retracted his gaze from looking at the river and said, "Find a place to settle down first, and then make plans." ”
As he spoke, the two of them turned around and swept towards the three of them who were really alive with the fire spirits, and at this time, the blue water qilin came quickly, but the battle had ended temporarily, so they looked at the battlefield in front of them and frowned slightly.
Li Xiuping asked directly: "How?" ”
The blue water qilin retracted his thoughts and replied: "About fifty miles to the east, there is a small city, which is a must for many people who cross the river. ”
After that, the people went east, and before dusk they entered the small city of the blue water qilin.
Although the small city is not big, it should be the only way to travel from south to north, so it is still prosperous, and there are many cultivators in the city, and even those who escort people across the river are actually a Xiuzhen sect, but its overall strength is not as good as the existence of Huayang Sect, otherwise it will not do this kind of business.
As soon as Li Xiuping and the others entered the city, several people greeted them, and one of them said with a smile: "How many of you are going to the south?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
The man smiled and said: "You may not know, there are many powerful demon beasts in this river, if there is no one to escort it, it is not easy to cross the river, although our Kongyun Sect has always wanted to get rid of these fierce beasts, but there are too many fierce beasts, and they have been hidden in the depths of the river, it is difficult to exterminate them all, but this is my Kongyun Sect's territory after all, and I can't let these fierce beasts do evil, so the head of my Kongyun Sect decided to set up a ferry by the river, responsible for escorting people coming and going." ”
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly, and continued: "It's just that this spirit boat is worth a lot of money after all, and my Kongyun Sect really doesn't have much family background, and if there is a conflict with the demon beast, my Kongyun Sect disciple will also be in danger of life, if the person who crosses the river needs my Kongyun Sect to escort him, he needs to take out some silver money appropriately, a few ......."
Li Xiuping directly interrupted: "How many people? ”
The man said: "Five spirit stones for adults and three for children, of course, this is only for cultivators, if it is an ordinary person, it is charged according to the silver taels, see how many people should be cultivators, right?" ”
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The man said: "Of course, this fee is not certain, it is also related to your realm, if the realm is high, you can naturally pay less spirit stones, or even not pay, after all, once you encounter the demon beasts in the water, people with high realm cultivation can also contribute." ”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "It seems that you really don't want to do it for money, but really want to help people cross the river." ”
The man hurriedly said, "This is nature. ”
He then asked, "I don't know what kind of realm they are?" ”
Li Xiuping and the Qingming monk glanced at each other, and they both looked at each other and smiled.
