For now, there are three benefits to me from this so-called half-"traveling merchant".

First, and most importantly, I was given some access to some of the features of the Great Sun Starcha.

Second, it has improved the strength of my soul a little bit, reaching the standard of "meditation".

Third, it is what I have just discovered, which allows me to enter a special state of "calm" when I encounter an emergency, shielding out some of my fears, so as to better calculate the benefits and losses...... Of course, this calculation is also based on my own level, and it will not improve, and it is not absolutely correct.

In addition, emotions such as excitement and excitement are reserved...... This is probably because people secrete adrenaline when they are excited, which makes their minds more agile and helps them calculate gains and losses and make decisions that are more beneficial to themselves.

In a flash of thought, Zhao Chen followed the master and kept retreating, and soon retreated to the corner of the street.

He didn't try to escape by himself while Huang Xianjun's pavilion master blocked the monster, after all, the other party was obviously coming for him, and once he was attacked after leaving the master's side, the master would probably not be able to rescue him.

Bang! Bang!

Two more gunshots rang out, and Huang Xianjun hit the monster's two heads again, beating it into a bloody blur and screaming...... However, this did not stop the monster from moving forward - it had already reached the high wall of the martial arts hall on the corner of the street with the help of jumping.

At this time, Zhao Chen and the others were only a dozen steps away from the monster, and the strong smell of blood on the other party's body could be smelled, as if the other party only needed one pounce to kill the master and apprentice.

But Huang Xianjun did not panic, after firing the last bullet, he reached out and grabbed the apprentice's arm, and then his body slammed into the window of a shop facing the street.

At the same time, on the other side of the street, a platoon of soldiers had already raised their long guns and aimed at the jackal-like monster standing on the wall.

"Shoot!"

As the team leader waved the command flag in his hand, more than a dozen fire guns fired at the same time, instantly punching blood holes in the monster's body.

The monster finally sobered up a little from its anger and wanted to flee first, but was shocked to find that it was unconsciously restrained by some kind of force, and it was difficult to move.

For a moment, the large, terrifying monster seemed to become a target, allowing the soldiers to rain bullets on it.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable......

When the dense sound of fried beans sounded in the fourth round, the screams and roars of the monsters were gone.

Zhao Chen also poked his head out from behind his master at this time, and looked at the wall of the martial arts hall along the broken window, only to see that the monster's appearance was extremely miserable, not to mention the bloody bullet holes everywhere on his body, even the limbs had been broken, and the two heads had been completely torn apart, and there was nothing left.

It was now clumped on the wall like a charred piece of meat, motionless, as if it were dead.

Seeing this scene, the squad leader also raised the order flag and told the soldiers to stop shooting.

And just when everyone thought that the matter was over, the two horns on the monster's back stood up again, squeezing the few lives left, causing the black light to quickly condense and turn into a pitch-black blade visible to the naked eye, slashing towards Zhao Chen and Huang Xianjun who were hiding in the roadside shop.

This blade is extremely fast, doesn't lose too many bullets, and has a wide range that is difficult to dodge.

"Hey!" Huang Xianjun sighed, he couldn't bear to let his disciple die in front of him, especially when he still had the strength to spare, so he had to forcibly urge the natal spell to block the pitch-black blade with the "golden dart".

But at this moment, a fiery red sword light came first, and with a single blow, it smashed the pitch-black blade, and then circled in the air, and then plunged straight into the middle of the monster's two long horns.

The next moment, the flames flashed and quickly devoured the entire body of the monster, and in just a dozen seconds, only an eyeball the size of a tennis ball was left on the courtyard wall, and there was still residual heat under the eyeball.

And the red sword light rolled up the eyeballs and rose into the air again, and finally fell into the hands of a woman with two decades of life, turning into an extremely ordinary long sword.

The woman had a beautiful face and graceful demeanor, wearing a red official uniform, looking heroic and sassy, without losing her feminine charm.

Seeing that this woman appeared and completely solved the monster, a burly middle-aged man in a purple robe came out from behind the fire team, walked up to the front and said:

"It turned out to be the 'Demon Envoy' Lord Yan coming, and Li was far away to greet him...... Thanks to your intervention, my grandson was saved. ”

The woman surnamed Yan waved her hand and said with a smile: "Li Zhenshou doesn't have to be polite, killing demons and demons is already a matter for our 'Dao officials'...... In addition, Xiuling and I are friends and your juniors, so you can just call me Hongxia. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, looked at Zhao Chen and Huang Xianjun, who had already walked out of the shop on the street, and continued: "What's more, even if I don't make a move, Huang Lao should have a way to block that blade." ”

Li Xiuling is the concubine who guards Li Hu and Zhao Chen's stepmother.

"Hongxia girl, don't put gold on my face, it's a blade aimed at the soul, and the old man is afraid that he will break his muscles and bones if he wants to block it." Huang Xianjun's ear power is extremely good, and he heard the words of the "Demon Suppressor" named Yan Hongxia from a distance, he smiled bitterly and said with emotion, "I didn't expect to see you for a few years, Hongxia, you have already achieved mana, and it seems that you have already cultivated the 'Red Emperor Yang Yuan Sword Qi'?" ”

"Hongxia also got a hundred alchemy gold with earth fire evil qi by chance, and this was a fluke." After Yan Hongxia said a modest sentence, she glanced at Zhao Chen, who was following Huang Xianjun, but did not speak to him, and turned to the town guard Li Hudao:

"I came to Bingquan Town this time at the invitation of Xiuling and her husband to investigate the evil organization that may be involved behind an aunt in her mansion...... Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived today, he would encounter an evil thing committing murder.

"I didn't want to show up, but secretly used the spell 'Xiaguang Net' to control the actions of the eyeliding monster, so as not to alarm the black hand behind the scenes, but in the end, it was exposed......

"So now you must fight quickly, I ask you to immediately send the soldiers in the town to surround the Xiaoshan Temple that Aunt Mei of the Zhao family often visits, and assist me in arresting the evil forces that may be entrenched there."

"Good!" Li Hu did not hesitate, and nodded directly.

Then, he looked at Huang Xianjun again, and said to the old hall master in a sincere tone: "Please also ask the hall master Huang to help me take care of my grandson." ”

"The old man's apprentice, the old man will shelter himself." Huang Xianjun held a long-pole firearm in one hand and brushed his beard in the other.

After Yan Hongxia and Li Hu led people out of the city with people out of the city, Zhao Chen also took the little guy who ventured over to see the situation, and followed the master back to the main hall of the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall.

It was only then that Zhao Chen opened his mouth and asked, "Master, who was that woman just now?" ”

"'Luo Socks Xiangsheng condenses the blue mist, and the golden hairpin turns into a sword and spits out Hongxia', she is the official of the Imperial Court from the Seven Grades, the 'Deputy Envoy of the Demons', and the 'Hongxia Sword' Yan Hongxia.

"At the same time, she is also the niece of Yan San, the 'Great Desert Flying Eagle' in the 'Seven Heroes of Monan'...... But she, the niece, is now much more powerful than her uncle. Huang Xianjun sighed twice and continued, "I actually have some friendship with the 'Desert Flying Eagle', so I also pointed out a few words to the little girl at the beginning...... He has also practiced at least three natal spells.

"In addition, the little girl's mother is also a side branch of the Li family, so she can learn the 'Red Emperor Yangyuan Sword' in the Li family's "Five Emperors Dynasty True Sword Technique", but unfortunately she is not a descendant of the Li family, and she can't learn the other four sword techniques, so it is impossible to achieve magical powers with this, so she can only find another way."

Dare to go around, it is all related to the famous family of Zhangye and the Li family...... In this way, I can barely get related to this 'Hongxia Sword', right?

After Zhao Chen complained a few words in his heart, he asked with some doubts:

"You and Yan San are friends? Then why did Yan Sanxia's apprentice 'Yellow Shirt Warrior' help the sand snake to challenge you?"

"I'm also a little weird...... But that Jia Zhengming is not Yan San's serious apprentice, not even a registered disciple, but there is no taboo......" Huang Xianjun stroked his beard, and did not dwell on this topic too much, and asked instead, "Tell me what happened to you?" I can't let the old man fight with an alienated monster, and I don't know why......"

"Yes, master." Zhao Chen also wanted to listen to the opinions of the old Jianghu master, so he began to selectively tell about his discoveries in the past two days.

……

On the west side of the town, in a secret room near the entrance to Chijin Mountain, more than a dozen mysterious people completely covered in black robes stood on either side of a long table.

They first bowed to the four idols of the gods enshrined in the room under the black cloth, and then took their seats.

After a few seconds of silence, a slightly charming female voice sounded first:

"The plan is going well, the stronghold of the 'Xinguang Temple' in the town has been completely uprooted by Yan Hongxia, and Fang Xuzi of the 'Star Society' has also been regarded as a group of the 'Xinguang Temple', so it should no longer arouse suspicion.

"The Zhao family in Bingquan Town, the Chen family in Chijin Town, and the Lan family in Jinwan Township have all fallen under our control.

"Soon, the leader of the Sand Snake Gang and the head catcher of this town will also be replaced by our people,

"When the old thing of the Golden Dart Martial Arts Hall goes to the county seat, the area around Chijin Mountain will completely make us forget what we say......

"The only trouble now is to guard it."
