Chapter 184: Reunion after a long absence
() Soon after Hua Qingyu chased the Howling Moon Wolf into the woods, she let out a scream.
Tianyao and the others were anxious, and they left the demon wolf and rushed over. Although it is winter and the leaves are withering, the trunks are too dense and the sight is still not good. There were footprints of a man and a wolf on the snow, and everyone followed for a moment and found the figure of Hua Qingyu not far ahead. Seeing that she was not injured, there was a bucket-sized colorful python coiled on the big tree in front of her, and under the trunk stood the Howling Moon Wolf.
"Dragon Scale King Python!" Han Mingfei exclaimed.
Unexpectedly, this shout startled a behemoth in the snow. The snow in front of everyone suddenly squirmed, and a thing was lifted from it, about two feet high, and it was as white as snow, and it dazzled everyone. When I looked closely, it was also a giant python, which was actually larger than the dragon scale king python, about the thickness of a water tank, the snake's head was flat and inverted triangle, the snake's eyes were blue, and the eyes were cold and spitting letters. The strange thing is that the snake letter is actually white.
Everyone was stunned, what kind of monster is this? The dragon scale king python, one of the three kings of python monsters, is already big enough, but obviously the white giant python in front of him is even better. If there is a master who has been to the Shuzang Palace, he will recognize that this is a white-scaled dragon python, a super demon beast guarding the exit of the palace.
"Escape!" Han Mingfei threw down a sentence and rushed towards the white-scaled dragon python. Although I don't know the name of the demon python, I can look at this kind of body, such majesty, it must not be an idle thing.
"Sister Qingyu, run away!" Zhu Xiaomin shouted anxiously, but was pulled away by Qin Yuejie.
Tang Junhe did not run away, but rushed towards Hua Qingyu. She was facing a python and a wolf, and she needed to be taken care of to get out.
But how could the white-scaled dragon python easily let a few people escape, it gently shook its long body buried in the snow, and with a slight sweep of its tail, it knocked the three people who were fleeing out. As for Han Mingfei's attack, it didn't pay attention to it at all.
The unarmed Qin Yuejie blocked in front of Zhu Xiaomin at the moment when the python's tail swept over, but the terrifying force still slapped the two of them to vomit blood, for fear that they would hurt their viscera. Qin Yuejie felt as if the skeleton of his whole body was broken, and he fainted at a glance after looking at Zhu Xiaomin on the side. Zhu Xiaomin struggled to get up, but he couldn't use his strength. Although Tianyao blocked it with the Gu Ding Sword, he was still swept into the air by the huge power of the snake tail, and hung on a tree branch when his waist
At this time, the four demon wolves chasing a few people blocked everyone's retreat.
Han Mingfei's attack not only couldn't help this huge white python, but instead annoyed it, it turned sideways and opened its bloody mouth at Han Mingfei and bit it down, extremely fast. Fortunately, Han Mingfei had already prepared, and when he saw that the white python was not afraid of his attack, he had already planned to dodge, so the white-scaled dragon python bit into the air, and the snake's jaw gnawed on the ground fiercely, and actually dug out a big hole! Han Mingfei gasped, it was too hanging, if he was bitten by the white python just now, he would definitely die.
After Han Mingfei avoided the snake bite, he stood back to back with Tang Junhe and Hua Qingyu, and the white-scaled dragon python also turned its huge body, staring at the three of them with cold eyes. Tang Junhe faced the dragon scale king python that had already circled and climbed down from the tree, and Hua Qingyu faced the salivating Howling Moon Sky Wolf.
"Senior Brother Han, Senior Sister Tang, I hurt everyone," Hua Qingyu said apologetically, "If I hadn't been reckless......
"What are these words!" Tang Junhe interrupted without waiting for Hua Qingyu to finish speaking, "Think about how to escape first, and it's not too late to apologize later, concentrate, look for flaws, and wait for an opportunity...... Oops!"
"We can't escape, we have to find a way to lure these three demon beasts away!" Han Mingfei also said with a solemn expression.
Hua Qingyu suddenly remembered that Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe had already taken the Violent Spirit Pill when they were dealing with the demon wolf outside the woods before, presumably because the effect of the medicine was about to pass. In the face of the terrifying Howling Moon Wolf and the Dragon Scale King Python, as well as an even more terrifying python monster that can't even be named, it seems that the three of them are more than lucky. Han Mingfei planned to lure away the demon beast and give Tianyao, Zhu Xiaomin, and Qin Yuejie a chance to escape. But will the situation develop according to his assumptions? Even if the three-headed demon beast is lured away, how much hope will Tianyao, who has already been seriously injured, survive from the claws of the four demon wolves chasing him?
An increasingly intense feeling of fatigue came in, and time did not allow Han Mingfei to worry too much. He raised his sword and rushed towards the white-scaled dragon python, and Tang Junhe also attacked the dragon-scale king python. Hua Qingyu hated the Howling Moon Wolf in front of him, it was it that lured him into the dense forest, causing everyone to be in danger. She let out a loud shout, and used the secret sword technique "Flying Flower Sword Rain" created by Hua Yanyun, the "Hualing Sword Immortal", to face the Howling Moon Heavenly Wolf. The Qiushuo sword in her hand was still quenched with poison, and the Xiaoyue Heavenly Wolf, who had seen the tragic death of her companion with her own eyes, did not dare to make a mistake, so she had to dodge backwards.
Among the three, only Hua Qingyu forced the demon wolf to retreat into the depths of the woods, and the dense tree trunks were also a big restriction on the Howling Moon Sky Wolf. The other two are not doing well.
As soon as Han Mingfei rushed in front of the white-scaled dragon python, the demon python's big mouth had already fallen towards his head, and he was about to turn sideways to avoid it, but the sudden strong prostration made his movements slow down by half a beat, and the demon python gnawed off his entire left arm in one bite, and the concussion caused by the python's body landing on the ground bounced him away. To deal with a de-empowered Cave Void Realm immortal cultivator, the white-scaled dragon python couldn't even use a trick.
Tang Junhe shook his sword in front of the dragon scale king python and then fled in the other direction, and the demon python chased straight away. The dragon scale python's long round body did not sink on the snow, leaving only a shallow wavy trace. The feeling of fatigue became stronger and stronger, Tang Junhe felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and his running speed was getting slower and slower, and he was finally caught up by the demon python. The dragon scale king python dragged her back to the right
The leg was bitten, and the snake's teeth were deeply embedded in the flesh, dragging Tang Junhe to the ground. The demon python shook its head violently, and the snake's fangs plowed several deep wounds on her legs, and after a bite, her right leg was severed with bones and tendons. Tang Junhe groaned in pain, and when he looked back, his right leg had been broken in two from the knee down. The dragon scale king python swam to Tang Junhe's side, opened her big mouth and bit her head, she was powerless to avoid it, so she sighed lightly and closed her eyes.
At this moment, Tianxiao and the man in black were standing on a big tree a few feet away from everyone. It was already dark, and with the snow and the woods blocking them, no one noticed either of them. Tianxiao has been paying attention to the situation in the battlefield, just now when the white-scaled dragon python swept away the three of them, he couldn't help it, just jumped off the tree and wanted to rush over to rescue, but was firmly grabbed by the black-clothed man Xiao Senior and lifted up the tree.
Tianxiao was extremely angry, glared angrily at the man in black, and roared in a low voice: "If they die, I will never ...... again" Before he finished speaking, the man in black pointed to the distance and whispered: "Don't panic, someone is coming." ”
Tianxiao hurriedly turned his head to look, but happened to see the situation of the dragon scale king python biting Tang Junhe. "Second Senior Sister!" he cried out in despair in his heart. Suddenly, a figure flashed past Tang Junhe's side and rescued her, and the dragon scale king python bit the air. The demon python turned his head angrily and saw that Tang Junhe was being held in his arms.
After Tianxiao saw it clearly, he was stunned. That figure is the one Xiao Liying who thinks about it, never forgets, worries about her stomach, and haunts her dreams. Unconsciously, tears moistened my eyes, and all kinds of thoughts poured into my heart, but this small distance of more than ten zhang seemed to be far away from the ends of the world, and I could only look at it from afar but not close to pour out my heart.
Tianxiao's strange appearance was seen by the man in black, and after a little thought, he understood who the girl who suddenly appeared was. "Stinky boy, you don't have a good eye. The man in black laughed.
Tianxiao turned his head to look at him, wiping away the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes. "Liying is not the opponent of those demon beasts, don't stop me from saving her for a while. ”
"Hehe, let's see the strength of that girl first. The man in black simply sat down leisurely on the branch, as if watching a good show.
Tianxiao is not so easy, although he has not seen him for more than ten years, he guesses that Xiao Liying is in the late stage of the void, and it is difficult to deal with the howling moon wolf, not to mention that there are two demon pythons. Besides, what should we do with the other four demon wolves blocking the way out? Tianyao has not come down since he hung on the tree, and he must have been injured a lot. Qin Yuejie was unconscious, and Zhu Xiaomin never got up, how could Xiao Liying be saved?
"She can't do it alone, I'm going to help!" Tianxiao prepared to go down the tree again.
The man in black also stopped again: "Don't worry, that little girl should be in the early stage of the cave, and she won't die so easily." Besides, there's another person. Although he is a little weaker, he is almost like you, a person in the middle of the void. Let's see how they act. ”
Listening to the tone of the man in black, Tianxiao felt a little relieved, and it seemed that the man in black should help at the last moment. "Anyway, he knows my temper, and he won't die without help. I just don't know who the other person in the middle of the void is who he is, why hasn't he shown up to save people?" Tian Xiao thought to himself, "I didn't expect that Liying had already cultivated to the Cave Void Realm, it's really admirable......"
In fact, two years ago, Xiao Liying was still in the late stage of the void. Her rapid growth was due to the disappearance of Tianxiao, and after she was discouraged, she was left with only blind penance. Avoiding people, staying at home, and having no distractions, contributed to her smooth breakthrough, and in just over ten years, she cultivated from the late Yuan Infant to the early stage of the cave void, and her cultivation speed of the second-class root bone was already about the same as that of the first-class root bone.
Tianxiao was not close enough, otherwise he would find that in addition to Xiao Liying's realm improvement, his whole person's temperament had also undergone a huge change. The eyebrows did not have the calm soothing they used to be, but always frowned slightly. The eyes are gone, and they are replaced by a sharpness that makes people dare not look directly. The corners of her mouth lost the warm smile she had before, and the pursed lips added a bit of a fierce momentum to her. If Xiao Liying was a gentle and cheerful stream in the past, then now she is a well, a deep well that does not have any ripples and is always calm and cold.
At the moment of the great enemy, Xiao Liying was not afraid at all, and after letting go of Tang Junhe, she swung her sword and attacked the chasing dragon scale king python. She didn't practice the "Source Shadow Sword Book", but Tianxiao keenly noticed that her swordsmanship routine seemed to be different from before. The swordsmanship, which was originally as light as a falling flower, has now become extremely sharp, but it is not because of her superb swordsmanship, but because she only pursues onslaught and does not pay attention to defense, and whether she lives or dies no longer seems to have any meaning to her. Fortunately, the dragon scale king python was stunned by her fierce and swift attack for a while, but it was only a matter of time before she came back to her senses.
"Although the momentum is fierce, it is just a reckless attack. She has a problem with her mentality. The man in black said in one word.
Tianxiao pursed his lips and said in his heart: "It's not that you have done a good deed? Let the two of us love each other but can't get together." ”
On the other side, after the dragon scale king python swallowed the broken arm, it flicked its long tail and rolled up Han Mingfei, who couldn't get up. The three demon wolves not far away also surrounded Qin Yuejie and Zhu Xiaomin, and a shadow wolf began to climb the tree, its target was Tianyao, who was hanging on the branches. Ordinary wolves can't climb trees, but it's a piece of cake for demon wolves, and he jumped to Tianyao's side in a few steps, ready to eat.
"Hey, I didn't expect the other person to be a coward, I'm really ashamed of your reputation as a Taiqing Sect!" The man in black suddenly stood up, tapped the branch, and flew out like a black lightning bolt, and appeared next to the shadow wolf in an instant, raising his hand and drawing his sword to cut it down. A knife, just one knife cut through the shadow shadow
Wolf's head. Before the wolf's head landed, he had already descended to the ground, and after the figure flashed, the heads of the other three demon wolves flew high. He jumped onto the white-scaled dragon python in two steps, stepped on the python body and rushed to the python's neck, holding the knife with both hands for a burst of horizontal and vertical slashing, and before the white-scaled dragon python came back to his senses, he had already cut off the python's head. Then his figure flashed in front of the dragon scale python again, and at the same time threw the weapon in his hand backwards. With a wide scabbard, the magic knife "Heavenly Killing" was like a heavy sword falling diagonally, and the "sword face" was just under Tianyao's body that fell from mid-air, removing the momentum of his fall. During the flight of the Heavenly Killing Knife, he dug out the top of the dragon scale king python's head, dug out the demon python's left eye, and after rotating his body, the palm of his right hand stretched out, and the palm side condensed the knife, aimed at the demon python's heart, cut the scales and punched it in, and the dragon scale king python only let out a "sizzle" long roar and fell to the ground with a bang, smashing in front of the stunned Xiao Liying. The man in black did not stop, and the figure chased in the direction of Hua Qingyu in a flash, and a demon wolf's wail came from his fingers.
It only took less than a few breaths to kill five demon wolves, a demon python, and a super demon python in a row, and he didn't even use a weapon when he killed that dragon scale king python! What kind of terrifying strength is this? Xiao Liying looked at the thin man in black in front of him, his eyes were full of admiration, everything he had just shown fully showed his identity as a "sword immortal".
"Thank you seniors for saving your life!" Xiao Liying bowed and thanked him.
"Hmm. "The attitude of the man in black is cold.
"Thank you...... cough cough...... "Zhu Xiaomin wanted to get up to thank her, but the pain caused her to fall to the ground again.
"Needless to say. The man in black walked up to the Sky Killing Knife, and the blade had slid out of its scabbard for a while. He quietly picked it up and inserted it back into the holster of the sword on his back. Then he walked to Tianyao's side, took his pulse, and took out a red pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Tianyao, who was in a coma, suddenly woke up, his face was flushed, and he covered his throat and was about to vomit.
"Bear it!" The man in black slapped his chest lightly, Tianyao frowned, swallowed the mucus in his mouth with a "grunt", and then coughed violently, his lips were already red, and tears and snot flowed down his face. After coughing for a while, all the strength in his body was exhausted, and he lay on the ground, panting, unable to speak, and could only nod to the man in black.
"You're pretty good, and you're on par with that stinky boy, if it weren't for ...... Hmph, I really want to take you as an apprentice. "The man in black said, "Although the pill is spicy, it is the best thing to heal, and it also has the effect of consolidating cultivation, which can be regarded as a gift for you for the sake of that stinky boy." Then, the man in black took out another elixir and gave it to the unconscious Qin Yuejie, the seriously injured Han Mingfei and Tang Junhe respectively. Again, the crowd thanked him.
"Don't thank me, if you want to thank that stinky boy. "Humanity in black.
His tone was quite flattering, but everyone was puzzled, who was that "stinky boy"?
Suddenly, the man in black laughed dryly: "Stinky boy, it's all this time, what are you hiding for?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked around, Tianxiao couldn't hold it anymore, jumped down from the branch, and shouted as he ran: "Brother Yao, Xiaomin, Liying, Sister Qingyu, Senior Brother, Senior Sister......"
Hearing this long-lost and familiar voice, everyone was stunned, it turned out that the "stinky boy" in the mouth of the master turned out to be Tianxiao, who had been missing for more than ten years!
"Brother!" "Brother Tianxiao!" "Senior Brother Tianxiao!" Everyone looked happy and wanted to meet them, but except for Hua Qingyu, the others couldn't move at all.
There was only one person whose expression did not change at all.
Xiao Liying's face that should have been ecstatic was unwavering, and there was no joy of reunion after a long absence. She suddenly stood between Hua Qingyu and Tianxiao, and looked at Tianxiao coldly.
Tianxiao stopped, his face full of guilt: "Liying, I ......" A thousand words came to his heart, how could he say it clearly with just a few words.
"Shut up!" Xiao Liying snorted, and his eyes seemed to be full of anger when he looked at Tianxiao.
"Senior Sister Xiao, ...... you" Hua Qingyu couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Liying glanced at her sideways, and Hua Qingyu's words came to her mouth and swallowed again.
The man in black sat on the snow, crossed his hands behind his head, and began to watch the show again.
Xiao Liying turned his head, stared into Tianxiao's eyes, and said word by word: "He Tianxiao, let me ask you, when you disappeared for no reason, and the sect master and the elders sent people down the mountain to look for you, where were you? When your senior brother, senior sister, junior sister, and younger brother were anxious and worried, where were you hiding? When the sect was in danger and the fairy and demon were at war, where were you hiding? When I was thinking about you day and night, worrying about my stomach, my heart was like a knife, and my liver and intestines were broken, where did you die, you said, you said!" The more excited she became, she grabbed Tianxiao's clothes and pushed, "When you gave up cultivating immortals and left the sect, did you have any loyalty in your heart? When you hid and avoided people, did you have righteousness in your heart? You disappeared and made me grief-stricken, do you have love in your heart? Why am I so stupid that I would fall in love with you, a guy with no conscience...... Woowoo woo ......"
The endless thoughts crushed Xiao Liying's strength in an instant, and she plunged into Tianxiao's broad arms and cried loudly, beating his chest with both fists. Tianxiao had already burst into tears, hugging his long-lost lover hard, and Xiao Liying hugged him very tightly as if he was afraid that he would lose him again.
The snow is still fluttering in the air, and the tears of longing are its dance partners, the two touch, embrace, and blend together, swaying between the vast world and the world.
