Chapter 42: Deepavali (1)
Li'er Mountain, this is a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, since hundreds of years ago, the king of Hei Yu led a group of little demons to occupy the mountain as the king, it has become a paradise for demon beasts.
At first, the Black King was honest, but he ordered his subordinates to block all the roads into the mountain, and strictly forbade outsiders to set foot in it.
In addition, he usually sent his men to nearby towns and never harassed the local people, and the purchase of daily necessities was also a fair trade.
As a result, many merchants are happy to do business with them, and they call these guys Great Immortals, completely forgetting their youkai status.
Occasionally, unwitting hunters and mountain dwellers enter the mountains and are killed by youkai, but the cause is that humans do not follow the rules of the youkai.
Even if their methods of killing people were a bit cruel, they were somewhat reasonable, so human cultivators could only preach to the outside world that it was inconvenient to go into the mountains to seek justice for the people who had died unjustly.
In fact, this is just an excuse, the key reason is that as soon as everyone heard that the Black King had cultivated for more than 10,000 years and had extremely powerful demon methods, many cultivators were frightened, and they dared to go into the mountains to find trouble with him.
Since this black king never took the initiative to go down the mountain to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance in Cangzhou could only be regarded as if he hadn't seen it.
The two sides have formed a high degree of tacit understanding and acquiesced to each other's existence.
But now it seems that the good days of this black king are probably coming to an end.
Last night, he sent his subordinates to break into Jubaozhuang and capture the son of the golden shopkeeper, which is undoubtedly a taboo for the coexistence of human and lady.
Although the rescue operation was led by Sun Protector, as soon as they stepped into Li'er Mountain, he unknowingly became Yin Tiancheng's follower, and he had to consult the young man's opinion on everything.
At this time, night had fallen, Yin Tiancheng opened his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the mountains and forests rising and falling under the cold moonlight, and there were towering ancient trees everywhere he could see.
From time to time, strange cries like monsters sounded in the darkness, which invisibly added a bit of horror to this strange deep mountain and old forest, and also warned Yin Tiancheng and his party that they had entered an extremely dangerous place.
"Everyone should be vigilant, there may be monsters along the way at any time to harass you, don't be careless. ”
After Sun Protector admonished his subordinates, he asked Yin Tiancheng: "Senior, demons are used to lurking in the night, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Do you want to stay where you are for the night, and then attack the Black Cloud Cave after dawn?"
"Hehe, you still call me Yin Gongzi. ”
Yin Tiancheng chuckled: "Although the monsters have an advantage over us at night, they would never have thought that we would choose this time to sneak into Li'er Mountain. In my opinion, it is better to take this opportunity to be unprepared than to act during the day and easily reveal your whereabouts. ”
Sun Protector nodded yes, and immediately ordered the team to continue on their way.
Because they were worried that they would arouse the vigilance of the monsters, they did not even dare to use torches along the way, but walked in the dark.
After walking for a pillar of incense, everyone suddenly found that the shadows of the trees around them were shaking, and then a cold mountain wind blew up for no reason.
"Oh no, the youkai are coming out!"
Several people in the team suddenly screamed, everyone was a cultivator, how could they not smell the demonic aura hidden in the strange wind.
"Everyone, get ready for battle!"
After hearing Sun Protector's order, the disciples of Tianxin Pavilion hurriedly showed their weapons.
Although their expressions were solemn, they did not mess up because of this, but quickly gathered together, forming a battle formation that was both offensive and defensive.
Yin Tiancheng saw that they were all people with rich combat experience, and he was immediately relieved.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a terrible wolf howl came from far and near in the mountains and forests, and everyone who listened to it was terrified.
At the same time, the trees in the forest shook violently, and the demonic wind became more and more violent.
"Youkai are coming, everyone get ready. Sun Protector hurriedly instructed everyone to be vigilant.
Countless strange ghostly fires lit up in the night, and they quickly approached the place where everyone was standing.
When they were only a few feet away, they realized that it was not a floating ghost fire at all, but the blue light emitted by the eyes of the monsters in the night.
This is a group of ugly-looking wolf demons, Yin Tiancheng roughly counted, there were about fifty of them, all of them were beast-headed human bodies, waving demon claws full of animal hair, staring at everyone viciously.
After seeing the true face of these wolf demons, Sun Protector didn't panic, he said loudly: "These are all little demons who came to send them to death, their cultivation is not high, at most they have broken through two or three demons!"
These wolf demons have cultivated into human form, naturally they understand human language, as soon as they heard that Sun Protector despised him so much, his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and with the wolf howl, these monsters had pounced from all directions.
"Kill, leave no one!"
As soon as Sun Protector's order was issued, the battle broke out.
Sun Protector is a cultivator who has broken through the essence chakra and mastered the power of the sixth spirit.
He would put these little demons in his eyes, and when he saw a wolf demon rushing towards him without knowing what to do, he immediately flashed his body and avoided the enemy's sharp wolf claws, and immediately condensed into a soldier, and an ice blade instantly took shape and flew over, cutting off the head of the wolf demon on the spot.
It wasn't the first time that those disciples of Tianxin Pavilion had experienced such a thing, so as soon as the battle began, they cooperated with each other to deal with these monsters.
It didn't take long for everyone to kill more than a dozen wolf demons.
What everyone didn't expect was that these wolf demons seemed to be some goods who were not afraid of death, and when they saw their companions die in the hands of the enemy, the ferocity in their bodies was completely stimulated.
Not only were they not intimidated by the fierce offensive, but they became more and more courageous, and in the end they actually started hand-to-hand combat with everyone.
The situation on the battlefield gradually tilted towards the wolf demon's side, which made everyone feel a little pressured.
Only Yin Tiancheng did not have a trace of panic, not only did he not fight with everyone, but he held the dragon scale sword in his backhand, his eyes looked around, and his attention was obviously not here.
Suddenly, a disciple of Tianxin Pavilion let out a miserable scream, and at this moment, a wolf demon grabbed his chest with its sharp claws, his clothes were immediately torn, and a bloody wound appeared on his chest.
Then several more disciples were accidentally injured in the fight, and these injured people could not resist the wolf demons' desperate play, so they had no choice but to shake a false shot, and their steps retreated again and again, preparing to avoid the edge for a while before making plans.
This added a lot of pressure to the others, the team brought by Sun Protector was already small, and now it seemed that they were going to be surrounded by wolf demons, and the situation would be even more unfavorable for them.
"Yin Gongzi, why don't you join the battle?"
An injured disciple stepped back and saw Yin Tiancheng standing by, and couldn't help but ask out loud.
"I don't think it's an option. Yin Tiancheng seemed to be thoughtful.
Seeing that he was a little timid, this disciple suddenly became angry, and he spoke politely: "If you are afraid of death, you should not come to Li'er Mountain!"
"Presumptuous! How can you talk to Yin Gongzi with such an attitude!"
At this time, Sun Protector saw that his subordinates were disrespectful, and hurriedly came over to reprimand him.
As soon as the words fell, Yin Tiancheng swung his sword and raised it, and a red sword slashed out, slashing out like lightning, and struck towards the injured disciple's back like lightning!
Immediately, a scream rang out, and Sun Protector and the disciple suddenly felt a hot liquid sprayed on their backs.
The two hurriedly looked back and found that a wolf demon who wanted to sneak attack them was split in half by Yin Tiancheng's sword.
The disciple suddenly realized that he had made a mistake and blamed Yin Tiancheng, and couldn't help but blush and rejoin the battle.
Sun Protector asked in confusion: "Young Master Yin, why don't you kill these demons with us and others, is it because they are of low grade and are not worth your action?"
"Not really. ”
Yin Tiancheng replied with a smile: "I began to think that these beasts had cultivated to the essence and would become the same as us humans, but I didn't expect that they still maintained their primitive beast nature and instincts. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Sun Protector was even more puzzled.
"Wolves are social animals and they are used to hunting in groups. As things stand, these beasts haven't changed at all. ”
"Yes, these monsters are not very high in cultivation, and they are completely relying on the strength of the group to compete with us. ”
Sun Protector suddenly realized, and then said: "Young Master Yin, please rest assured, now that the wolf demon has been killed by us, the rest will not last long." ”
"I don't think so. ”
Yin Tiancheng's gaze became grim, and he said in a deep voice: "Presumably, the demonic aura you smell is getting stronger and stronger, which means that they still have accomplices who have not shown up." ”
"Whew!"
As if to confirm Yin Tiancheng's words, there were more wolf demons in the surrounding forests, plus accomplices who had not yet been killed, there were no less than a hundred wolf demons on the scene!
"Fuck, I said how these monsters are not afraid of death, it turns out that they have a lot of accomplices!"
Sun Protector couldn't help but curse the dirty words, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
The disciples of Tianxin Pavilion saw so many monsters popping up at once, and their hearts beat in a panic.
