"Skinning and deboning is the ultimate skill. With a poisonous eye, analyze the enemy's spells, treasures, and even the vein structure of the body, and use the blade to cut through the most vulnerable points to make them fall apart. ”

Li Miao has a little understanding of the concept of these two types of knife techniques.

Although I don't have a deep understanding, I haven't practiced it. But with his combat experience in crisscrossing the galaxy and fighting with tens of millions of aliens, if he wants to practice these two moves, it should not be difficult.

But as he said to the butcher, these two moves are just icing on the cake for him, and even if he practices well, they will only make his sword foundation more solid, but not greatly improve his strength.

"Forget it. I've already rejected the butcher, and if I practice secretly, wouldn't it be a villain's behavior. ”

Li Miao extinguished the idea of practicing knives in his heart.

With nothing to do at night, he walked to the cabin, preparing to go back to his room to continue his cultivation and cross the threshold of the small realm.

But at this moment, a slight sound mixed with the sound of rushing water reached his ears.

"Click"

"Click"

A crisp sound, like someone gnawing on something hard, came from far away.

At the same time, a faint smell of blood wafted to the big ship.

Li Miao frowned.

The water above this river is rushing, how can there be a smell of blood

He listened intently and saw that the sound was coming from downstream.

As the ship drifted forward, the sound of "click, click" gradually became clear, and even the hired workers on the ship's night watch could hear it.

Zhou Cheng, the young night watchman, said strangely, "I just had dinner just now, who is eating the pot and eating gurgle, I'm a little greedy." ”

Another old man on night duty, Yuan Ping, waved his hand and said, "If you are greedy, you will go and uncover two pieces and have a good time, isn't it just a pot, there are some in the stove room." ”

"Forget it, my teeth haven't been very good lately, and if I break my teeth, I'll find someone to cry to. Zhou Cheng shook his head and dispelled his thoughts.

Li Miao didn't go to talk to the two.

He focused his eyes and looked downstream in the direction of the river, trying to find the source of the sound or the smell of blood in the darkness of the night.

At first, his eyes were almost black, and he could not see anything two or three feet away from the hull of the ship.

But after a while, when the boat had moved forward some distance, he suddenly saw a white thing appear in the center of the spacious river in front of him.

If you look closely, the white thing actually looks a bit like a person who has been stripped naked

Li Miao was surprised.

Busy with the original energy to the eyes, look ahead again.

At this glance, he was suddenly taken aback

With the help of the Primal Spirit, his eyesight greatly increased, and he saw a human body floating in the middle of the river about four or five hundred zhang in front of him.

The human body was caught in the claws of a large dark cyan crab, and was being bitten and eaten bite by bite

The sound of "click, click, click" was actually made by blue crabs eating humans and biting off bones

"It's a youkai. ”

Li Miao immediately made a judgment in his heart.

The cyan crab was nearly a foot in size when it came out of the water, and the giant pincers held in the air were like a huge knife, and the human body was caught in it, like a poor little worm.

With such a large body size, I am afraid that he is already a big demon, comparable to a monk of the Returning Yuan Realm

"That's not good. ”

The boat was driving on the water, but it was blocked by the blue crab demon in front. If you just hit it straight up like this and annoy the big demon, I'm afraid that all the people in this boat will have to die in the Cangyun River and become a delicious meal for the monsters.

Although Li Miao thinks that his strength is good, but in the face of a big demon, and it is on the surface of the river that is quite deep, he has no confidence in winning at all.

At that moment, he was busy saying to the two hired workers on duty at night, "There is a monster in the heart of the river in front, hurry up and ask someone to turn the rudder to avoid it, otherwise everyone on this boat will definitely die."

Zhou Cheng and Yuan Ping glanced at him, frowned and wondered, "Brother, it's only been night for a long time, why are you talking in your dreams?"

"Don't believe for yourselves"

Li Miao pointed ahead.

The speed of the boat moving on the surface of the river was quite fast, and the distance was four or five hundred zhang just now, but now it has narrowed to less than three hundred zhang.

However, the night was dark, Zhou Chang and Yuan Ping were just ordinary people, and their vision was much worse, and they couldn't see anything three hundred zhang away at all.

The two of them looked at each other, then pouted, "Obviously nothing." Brother, if you are sleepy, go back to the cabin and sleep, don't blow the wind here, beware of the cold. ”

Li Miao was slightly annoyed.

Seeing that the distance was getting closer and closer, he didn't care about talking nonsense with the two of them, and took out the Zijun Sword and the Cold Steel Battle Sword together, and the Spirit Sword in his left hand and the War Sword in his right hand, mobilizing his whole body to prepare for the battle that might come at any time.

Zhou Cheng and Yuan Ping were startled when they watched him conjure two weapons out of thin air, thinking that he wanted to commit murder.

However, they soon found that Li Miao was staring ahead, and had no intention of hurting anyone.

"Eh, Lao Yuan, look, there's something in the river ahead" Suddenly, Zhou Chang saw the huge blue crab in front of him, and the human remains that had been eaten to the point that only one slender leg remained.

Yuan Ping looked at it smoothly, was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed, "It's not good, I met the king of Hengjiang, hurry up."

said that he hurriedly ran to find the helmsman who controlled the direction of the boat.

Li Miao sighed in his heart.

At this time, I want to turn, and it is too late.

In fact, with the speed of the ship's drifting, it was already too late when he shouted "there are youkai".

At present, the big boat is less than 100 feet away from the blue crab, and the blue crab demon also found the fast approaching boat, chewed off the half of the woman's thigh caught by the tongs, and turned around.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm lucky today, and I actually encountered two waves of food in a row. ”

The sound of gloom sounded from all directions, and a strong sense of crisis arose.

Li Miao's heart sank.

can speak to prove that this blue crab is indeed a big demon

Yuan Ping's shout broke the silence of the night, and the voice of the blue crab demon was like a muffled thunder, exploding in everyone's hearts.

The owner of the boat, Liang Jun and the three Luo brothers, were alarmed and ran to the bow of the boat.

At this time, the big ship was only less than a hundred feet away from the blue crab demon

"King Hengjiang, it's the King of Hengjiang" Liang Jun's eyes widened, looking at the huge crab floating on the surface of the river, extremely desperate.

The name of the king of Hengjiang has always been a taboo for boat drivers, and for more than 20 years, hundreds of merchants and hired workers have died under his giant pincers.

Although people had also asked the immortal cultivators for assistance, the Cangyun River was so big and long, and no one knew where the Hengjiang King was lurking. The invited immortal cultivators either couldn't find him, or they found him but couldn't defeat him, but instead became a delicious meal for the monsters.

They never thought that they would meet the king of Hengjiang one day.

It seems that tonight, the people of this boat are in trouble.

"Chatter. ”

The king of Hengjiang waved his double pincers in the water, made a human statement, and said with a gloomy smile, "I can encounter so much food just after leaving the customs, God really treats me well." Come on my delicacies, and the king will taste every foot of your flesh and blood."

There are only thirty zhang left

The mouth of the king of Hengjiang glowed with a blue light, and he spewed out a water arrow, trying to tear apart the ships that came by the trend and let everyone fall into the water.

At this time, Li Miao's eyes on the bow of the boat froze, and Zijun pointed forward with the spirit treasure flying sword Zijun in his left hand

Bang

In the dark night sky, a purple lightning bolt slashed from the invisible dark clouds, scattering the water arrow.

Liang Jun and the others were shocked.

"Oh, I actually forgot that Brother Li is an immortal cultivator, and with him, we will definitely be safe," Liang Junxi said.

Everyone was greatly encouraged, and their brows furrowed.

Zhou Cheng and Yuan Ping, who were on duty at night, had strange faces, looking at Li Miao, who was dual-wielding weapons and majestic, and felt very ashamed of their reaction just now.

Li Miao was not as optimistic as them, frowned, and said quickly, "I'm not sure of winning, I don't know if everyone will die here tonight." ”

"Uh, this"

The faces of the crowd were once again unsightly.

Before they could speak, the King of Hengjiang in the water said angrily, "It turns out that there is a little Ning Zhen monk. Hmph, it's good to come, your flesh and blood must be much tastier than those ordinary people."

Wow

The giant pincers of the blue crab demon struck the surface of the water, and a circle of blue light shot out, with a biting chill, and in an instant, it froze the river surface within a radius of more than ten zhang

The big ship was going down the river, and the bow of the ship crashed right into it.

In an instant, the force of the sudden brake squeezed the entire ship to a rattle, as if it was about to be crushed and shattered at any moment.

The tremendous force of inertia forced everyone on board to fall forward and fall on the board.

Li Miao stabilized his body, and the original energy spitted out, and the tip of the Zijun Sword released an arm-thick electric light, which shot straight towards the King of Hengjiang.

With a distance of seven or eight zhang, his sword qi could not attack the other party, and the only means he could use was the thunder and lightning power of the Zijun Sword.

King Hengjiang didn't take him, a monk of the Condensing Truth Realm, in his eyes, and didn't even dodge, and waved his pincers again, creating a larger layer of ice, freezing the back half of the crooked big ship together.

The next moment, purple electricity came to the body, and a huge sound of "pop" sounded.

"Ahh

King Yokoe screamed in pain, feeling the damage caused by purple lightning to his body, and said angrily, "You little monk, you can actually hurt this king"

Li Miao ignored it, waved his long sword, and two bolts of lightning broke through the air, and said to everyone, "You find a way to break through the ice, and I will try to delay him." ”

The scattered crowd hurriedly agreed, got up and looked for oars everywhere.

The big demon in the water spat out two water arrows, dispersing the electric light, and shouted angrily in his mouth, "Give this king to die" The huge body shook, and the cyan carapace on its back peeled off a layer, turning into a sawtooth round shield nearly a zhang in size, spinning and flying towards the ship.

It was a magic weapon that King Hengjiang had refined with half of his own shell, and it was very powerful both for offense and defense, especially after it was rotated, the sawtooth on the edge could easily tear even the dark iron apart

Li Miao knew that he couldn't let the carapace magic weapon touch the hull of the ship, otherwise the ship would definitely sink. Immediately decided, he jumped out of the big ship, and the sword carried the power of ten thousand jun, and slashed at the edge of the jagged carapace.

while

The two forces collided in the air, making an unpleasant sound that shook the eardrums.

Although Li Miao's strength was huge, his cultivation was a whole big realm lower, and he was hit by the majestic demonic power at the moment, and his body couldn't control it and fell to the ice frozen by the river.

The foot-thick ice cracked, and his throat was fishy, and he couldn't help but vomit a mouthful of blood.

"It's so strong, it's worthy of the realm of big demons. ”

Just one collision left him with minor injuries, and this is the gap in cultivation.

King Hengjiang was very surprised to see that he was able to block his natal magic weapon and not die, and his two crab eyes stood up, and he shouted strangely, "I have a little ability, I see that the knife and sword in your hand seem to be good, this king wants it"

As he spoke, he jumped from the water onto the ice and flew rampantly.

Behind Li Miao is the ship, and he can't retreat, so he can only silently run the Star River Holy Body and fight hard head-on.

The wind was howling, and a large crab claw smashed down, and he waved his knife to resist and barely caught it.

But the ice under his feet couldn't support the huge impact force of one person and one demon, and it shattered into countless pieces at once.

Li Miao fell into the water, hurriedly lifted the original energy and stepped lightly on the water, jumped onto another ice floe, and swept out a piece of electric light with his sword.

King Yokoe didn't want to waste any more time with him, and the carapace magic weapon flew out again, spinning with a deadly Gangfeng. At the same time, the demon yuan power spewed out from his mouth, gathered into a large ice blue net, and shrouded him.

The big ice-blue net exuded an astonishing chill, and it was obviously a very difficult demonic art, once it was caught, it was difficult to get out

Li Miao didn't want to be the food of the monster, he watched the sawtooth carapace and the ice blue net fly towards him one after another, and then looked at the big ship next to him, his heart was ruthless, and he secretly said, "The big demon is strong, now it is difficult for me to protect myself, I'm afraid I can't take care of you, everyone ask for more blessings." ”

As soon as the war knife was crossed, he gave up the idea of attacking and chose to defend the Gangfeng in his face, and the rotating carapace magic weapon bombarded the side of the cold steel war knife with a fierce aura.

Li Miao's whole body was gathered on his knife-wielding arms, and he deliberately relaxed his strength. With the ferocious impact of the carapace magic weapon, the powerful demonic power immediately knocked his whole person out of the air, crossed an arc in the air, flew dozens of zhang away, and then fell into the river with a thud.

"Li Shaoxia"

Everyone on board lost their voices and exclaimed.

A large ice-blue net fell into the air.

The king of Hengjiang knew that Li Miao was deliberately selling flaws and wanted to take the opportunity to get out, so he sneered and mocked, "Do you think you can run away like this?"

The river water is cool.

Li Miao fell into the water, only to feel a dullness in his chest, as if he had been smashed by a giant hammer, very uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to relax, and seized the opportunity to hurriedly disperse the galaxy holy body, put the Zijun sword and war knife into the small universe ring, and collected the original power into his body, suppressing the release of his own breath.

In a frontal battle, he can't beat it, and it's difficult to even escape, because the water is the territory of the King of Hengjiang, and he can't fly yet, and his speed is greatly limited.

So all he can do is hide his aura and sneak away.

Genetic energy is refined from the most basic energy in the universe, and when the breath is restrained, it becomes extremely flat, as if it has been integrated into the universe. Unless it is seen by the other party with his own eyes, or if he is scanned by the divine thoughts of a powerhouse in the Xuantong Realm, it is difficult to find it by perception alone.
