Chapter 17: The Shadow of Blood
The power of the self-explosion caused a spatial rift, but this crack was not large, so it did not form a large-scale black storm of destruction, but the black wind still rolled in the desert and obscured the sky.
That spatial rift quickly began to repair itself under the influence of the power of space.
In the dark wind in the sky, a blood shadow flew forward frantically like a teleportation, and it was the bloody demon that used the blood shadow escape method to burn the essence and blood of the whole body and escape.
Almost as the blood shadow flew by, a white light like a meteor followed, no less than the blood shadow chasing forward.
In the Demon Shuttle, the Blood Demon Clone manipulated it with all its might, raising the speed of the Demon Shuttle to the maximum, just like when he escaped from Zhao Mingjiu's pursuit in Ten Thousand Demon City, but this time the role was changed, and it became Li Hui chasing and killing others.
At this moment, the blood demon only felt that his whole person was burning, and the pain of burning essence and blood was absolutely unbearable. The blood demon only felt that the body was breaking into countless parts, gradually detaching itself from itself, and the spirit gradually became dissipated, and he was drowsy and about to lose consciousness......
Perhaps only by losing consciousness can he forget the pain of calcining the soul, at this time the blood is confused, and as soon as the blood shadow is activated, it is no longer under his control, and it will not stop until his essence and blood are exhausted.
Even if he can escape with his life, he will already be seriously injured and die for life.
This was originally a method that would only be used in a desperate situation, but he didn't expect to be forced to such a point by a monk of the same rank today.
The bloodied wanted to fall asleep, but the pain that penetrated deep into his soul kept him awake, but not really awake, a state of collapse that was on the verge of losing consciousness.
And at this moment, the meteor-like white light behind it caught up in several flashes, and the distance between it and the blood shadow gradually narrowed.
Li Hui sat in the Demon Shuttle, a pale golden flying sword around his body, and his eyes looked coldly ahead.
At the moment when the Demon Shuttle chased the blood shadow parallel to it, a golden light flew out like lightning, and around the blood shadow, the blood shadow suddenly divided into two halves silently, and then slid out in the sky for a hundred feet, before turning into two downward arcs and falling towards the ground.
A figure flashed, and Li Hui instantly took away the storage bag on the bloody waist and the magic weapons on his body, and then let the two corpses fall towards the desert.
The bloody demons and insect demons that crisscrossed the Black Wind Desert both died today.
Li Hui took the Demon Destroyer and the Blood Demon Clone back into the Immortal Mansion, and set up the Immortal Sword and rushed towards the caravan's camp without looking back.
After casting the Wandering Escape Method, Li Hui's speed was also extremely fast, but it still couldn't compare to the speed of the Blood Demon Clone's Imperial Envoy Demon Shuttle. After chasing this bloody demon before, he had unconsciously escaped a great distance, and it took a short time to return again.
By the time Li Hui returned, the iron ant colony that had trapped the caravan had long since disappeared, and the entire caravan did not seem to have suffered much damage.
Li Hui swept his senses and found the traces of Liu Piaoxu and the others, who were sitting in a huge tent set up in the center of the camp. Qiao Tianqi and Shi Potian were also in the tent.
When Li Hui returned, he had already been discovered by the warriors who stayed behind outside the camp, but they soon recognized that this was Li Xianshi in the team, and they also understood that it was Li Xianshi who ventured out of the encirclement, and somehow finally caused those insect swarms to suddenly fall into chaos, and then dispersed on their own.
After such a time, the eyes of these usually unruly warriors looking at Li Hui were immediately different. A little more reverence from the bottom of my heart.
"Immortal Master Li, your old man is back, and Childe has asked us to report back as soon as we have news of you. A man of his mid-thirties dressed in black light iron armor greeted him with great joy.
"What's the matter?" asked Li Hui with a slight startle.
"Senior Li, it's really senior who is back. At this time, there was a somewhat excited voice in the distance, and Qiao Tianqi walked quickly towards Li Hui, followed by Shi Potian. Liu Piaoxu and the others also walked out of the tent at this time.
Qiao Tianqi stepped to Li Hui's side in a few steps, but he clenched his fists with both hands, held them high above the top, and then bowed deeply: "The predecessors saved the entire caravan and also saved Xiao Ke's life. As he spoke, he bowed deeply, his head almost hanging to the ground.
Li Hui nodded secretly in his heart, this young man is indeed good, and this words of thanks are indeed from the bottom of his heart, and there is no falsehood at all.
"Childe is serious, since he was hired by Childe, he should contribute. Li Hui said lightly.
Qiao Tianqi blushed, and said again: "Xiao Ke has no eyes, he doesn't know the true face of his predecessors, how can he put it in the eyes of his predecessors at a small price? ”
Li Hui understood that Qiao Tianqi was talking about not knowing that he was Jin Dan, and when he broke through the insect cloud, he no longer concealed his cultivation, so the monks in this team now knew their true cultivation. But Li Hui didn't care, this was not a shameful thing. It's just that because I first arrived in Shangzhou, I want to take this opportunity to walk in the Shangzhou cultivation realm to learn some about the situation in Shangzhou. There is nothing about identity exposure.
On the contrary, the true cultivation of Liu Piaoxu and others has not been exposed.
"Senior Li worked hard, have you ever found the murderer behind the scenes?" asked Shi Potian on the side at this time.
Shi Potian's mood also spoke at this time, he had always relied on his own force, and felt that even those foundation building monks who faced the cultivators could not fall behind, until he met Li Hui, the other party not only cultivated to a high level, but also understood the martial arts much higher than him. And now that the other party has turned into a Jindan monk, how can this not make his heart feel like a turbulent wave?
No matter how a secular martial artist cultivates and how powerful his martial arts are, the top martial artist can only be comparable to a foundation building monk while relying on the spiritual weapon in his hand. And Brother Jindan, who is undoubtedly already an immortal figure who does not eat fireworks in the world. No matter how arrogant Shi Potian was, he didn't have the slightest bit in front of a Jindan monk. But fortunately, I got along with Li Hui for a while before, and I wasn't too restrained at this time.
Li Hui nodded: "There are a total of two Jindan monks who are secretly attacking, the monitor lizards and sandworms that attacked the caravan before, as well as those flying insects, are all driven by these two people, and there is also a team of foundation building monks following these two people, they must have been taken care of by you." ”
Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and the two Jindan monks secretly made a move! Then, when they heard Li Hui say that they had all been killed, their hearts were even more turbulent.
"Back to the sect master, it was the seven friends of Yanshan who had a conflict with us when they were in Wantong Tower, and they were all killed by us. At this time, Liu Piaoxu stood up and replied.
Li Hui was stunned, although his identity as a Jindan monk had been exposed at this time, but when Liu Piaoxu said this, it was equivalent to being known along with the Sword Sect. After thinking about it, Li Hui was also relieved, Liu Piaoxu has always been resourceful, and she must have her reason when she said this.
At that moment, Li Hui nodded: "Very good." ”
Qiao Tianqi and Shi Potian's faces showed incomparable surprise: "Senior, you ......"
"Young Master Qiao, I did hide something before, yes, several of us are from the same sect Sword Sect, I am the sect master, a few of them are present, plus my disciple Lin Yang, the whole sect is here. Li Hui said with a wry smile.
Qiao Tianqi and Shi Potian were both stunned, obviously they didn't expect this to be the case, but naturally no one dared to underestimate this "Sword Sect" that they had never heard of.
"The seniors have a hard trip, please come in quickly. Qiao Tianqi suddenly thought that they had been talking outside all the time, and hurriedly invited Li Hui to the tent.
Li Hui nodded, and the next group entered the tent again.
Of course, except for Li Hui and Liu Piaoxu and others, several other foundation building monks hired together did not have such treatment. But these people did not complain in the slightest.
Just now that they took action to resist the attack of the insect swarm, and later several foundation building monks attacked it, Liu Piaoxu and the others showed their might, and they didn't think they could do it with that magical means. The cultivation realm speaks with strength, and those who are strong naturally deserve the respect of others.
After entering the tent, Qiao Tianqi gave up the main seat to Li Hui, and everyone else also took a seat, but Qiao Tianqi, who was the master, sat down.
"Young Master Qiao, I still have to tell you something, the two people who shot claimed to have been instructed by the same Qiao family to attack the caravan. After sitting down, Li Hui said straight to the point.
He didn't want to get involved in other people's family infighting, so he told these things and let Qiao Tianqi decide for himself, and observed Qiao Tianqi's attitude.
When Qiao Tianqi heard this, he was stunned at first, and then he glanced at Shi Potian, but he didn't show too much shock, obviously this matter was within their expectations.
When Li Hui saw this scene, he understood a little in his heart. It seems that at this time, it was really caused by the infighting in the family, presumably the struggle between the behind-the-scenes commander and Qiao Tianqi was the norm, so the two of them would be so calm.
"Alas!" Qiao Tianqi sighed: "Let the seniors laugh, Tianqi didn't say anything about it in Nanlong City before, and almost caused the entire caravan to be buried in this desert, and asked the seniors to forgive their sins." He stood up and saluted.
"I really hope that Gongzi Qiao can give me a good explanation, I don't want to get involved in any family internal disputes for some reason. Li Hui's face froze, and his voice was a little serious.
