Chapter III: Response (Part 3)
After Li Ye and Su Emei left Mount Tai, they went all the way to Qizhou. As a monk in the real realm, there is naturally no need to run on the ground to hurry. Flying over a mountain, the eyes suddenly opened up.
Under the thin clouds and mist, the fertile fields are hundreds of miles, crisscrossing the farmland, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. A village of 100 households, surrounded by farmland, a clear river that meanders like a belt flows in front of the village.
Such a village would not have attracted Li Ye's attention, but when he saw a man with a knife suddenly rushing out of the village entrance, and later followed by a few people who were chasing him, he stopped his advancing figure and turned to land slowly.
The man is a monk, and his cultivation is not low, and he has reached the Qi refining stage. His left shoulder was red, and his right hand was holding a horizontal knife of the military standard, with runes blessings on the body of the knife, sharpening iron like clay, just to exert his cultivation.
He is not very old, he looks less than twenty years old, but his facial features are resolute, and he has already shown a killing aura, and he is obviously a member of the army. The four people who followed him, who were slightly stronger than him, quickly caught up and scattered to surround him.
At this moment, his forward body suddenly stopped, and he suddenly turned around and crashed into the person behind him. The other party was defenseless, and the distance was too close, and he didn't have time to stop, and he was bumped into his arms. At this time, the horizontal knife in his hand had already stabbed into the opponent's lower abdomen, and with a flick of his wrist, he shattered the opponent's viscera.
However, before he could make the next move, a fireball smashed into his back, blasting out a shallow pit of flesh and blood, and the bones could already be seen in the deepest part, and he vomited blood and fell to the ground.
"The whole village is very afraid of our demon gods, you dare to attack us, I really don't know whether you are alive or dead!" A monk pounced and stabbed the man in the shoulder, but he grabbed the blade with one hand, swept the knife in his hand, and cut off the opponent's calf.
The man took the opportunity to get up, and roared with red eyes: "Under the rule of King Nai'an in the five states of Pinglu, the land of Qingming and Taiping, there is no place for even the demon road, how can you be allowed to make trouble!" As he spoke, he actually gave up his efforts to escape, and swung his knife and slashed at the monk in front of him.
Although he fought ferociously, he did not hesitate to exchange injuries for injuries, so that he could fight another monk, but he also fell to the ground, covered in blood, and could not get up for a while.
The monk raised the giant axe in his hand, and the casualties of his companions made his face hideous: "King An is the Demon King, and he controls Pinglu just to make our demon gods stronger! Now, I will give you a chance, as long as you say that King An is the Demon King, I will let you live!"
"Get out!" the man spat blood, his face full of disdain and stubbornness, "Since King An arrived in Pinglu, there are no more corrupt officials and corrupt officials who fish and flesh the common people, and there are no bullies and gangsters who run rampant in the township. Such a virtuous king, how can he be a demon king!"
The monk held the giant axe, and the muscles on his face twitched, "I'll give you one last chance, or I'll leave you with no bones!"
The man sneered, his face was full of contempt, and he was not afraid of death at all, "Let's do it!" I joined the army, followed King An to calm the chaos and protect the country, Yang Wei is the world, I am a soldier of King An in life, and I am also a well-known man in death!"
The monk finally couldn't help it, and the giant axe slashed down: "Then you go to die!"
The man craned his neck and stared at each other, waiting for the giant axe to fall on him.
The great axe did not fall on him.
The monk's neck had already been grabbed and lifted on the spot.
When the military man saw the back of the great shore in front of him, he was stunned at first, and then trembled with excitement.
When he fought against the Yellow Nest, he had looked up at that back countless times, and he was the most familiar.
At that time, he often appeared on the battlefield, destroying the enemy's most difficult battle formations, slashing the enemy's most powerful monks, opening up the situation for the army, and leading the generals to defeat the enemy. The Pinglu army, I don't know how many people, like him, worship the back of the appearance that means victory.
"Demon?" Li Ye said coldly, asking the monk in his hand.
Although the number of demon clans is scarce, they have a unique advantage in cultivation, not to mention that everyone can practice, and almost everyone can reach the qi refining stage, so the monk in his hand is the lowest existence in the demon clan.
The monk kept struggling in Li Ye's hands, but he couldn't get rid of Li Ye's control, and finally he gave up his efforts and just stared at Li Ye viciously.
Li Ye sneered, the demon clan was naturally fearless, and he regarded death as home, so naturally he would not be afraid to beg for mercy, and he was not verbose, he directly twisted the other party's neck and threw it aside.
The monk was already out of breath when he landed, and a cloud of black smoke came out of his corpse, which quickly disappeared, leaving no trace. Li Ye frowned slightly, but he quickly understood that some kind of prohibition had been planted on the bodies of these demons.
Su Emei fed a pill to the military man, the wound of the dying man recovered quickly, and he would soon be able to move again, he struggled to get up, and saluted Li Ye: "Shen Beiwang, the commander of the lowly Ping Lu Army, meet the military commander!"
"Get up, what's going on?" Li Ye motioned for the other party to get up, and there were five hundred soldiers under the command of the commander, and in the new army of the Pinglu Army, most of the commanders had cultivation in the Qi refining period.
Shen Beiwang stood up and said respectfully: "The military commander, he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, but after entering the village, he found that the villagers all looked indifferent, no longer warm, and looked at the humble eyes, but also faintly guarded, very weird. Later, the younger brother of the family told the humble post that some time ago, demons came to the village and robbed many young men and women, and they claimed to be ordered by the military marshal to take these men and women to the military marshal's promotion. Just now, those demons came again, and they naturally went up to investigate, but because of their poor cultivation, they ended up in a situation where they were hunted down and killed. ”
Li Ye nodded, Shen Beiwang's report was as good as he expected.
After the Pinglu Army returned to Qingzhou, it had already taken part of the holiday, and after the war, the soldiers were asked to return to their hometowns to visit relatives, which was the proper meaning of the question. At the same time, Li Ye also had a secret military order, asking these soldiers to cooperate with the monks of the Tsing Yi Yamen in various places when they returned to their hometowns, and pay attention to the events of the demons and troubled places. There are many monks in the army, and this is conducive to giving the demon clan an initial counterattack from the local level, and it can also be regarded as cooperating with Li Ye's actions.
Su Emei stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and said to Li Ye: "This matter is unusual. The demon clan could have directly sent a master to kill you, why would they cause such turmoil in various places with such fanfare?"
Li Ye didn't understand this problem from the beginning, although destroying the hearts of the people of Pinglu can affect Li Ye's cultivation, but compared to directly assassinating himself, this method is undoubtedly too slow to take effect.
He had to guess: "Probably they are afraid that I will get the news and hide in Qingzhou and not come out." It will be more difficult to kill me under the protection of the hosts. ”
Liu Dazheng and Shangguan Chengcheng are both military generals, and with the protection of the military battle array, the monks in the real realm can't help the boss. This is different from Li Ye's direct attack on Li Changyan, there are no generals in the opposing army.
Of course, this is just a guess.
Li Ye and Su Emei were about to follow Shen Beiwang to visit the village, when suddenly a large cloud of dark green smoke came out of the northern sky, and it quickly swept towards this side.
Suddenly, a huge beast emerged from the smoke, and with a low roar, the beastman with the body of a bull and a snake tail stood up, turning into a nine-foot-tall man, looking down on everyone in mid-air.
Everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the cultivation of the person who came was extremely strong, just by looking at it casually, Shen Beiwang couldn't bear the coercion, and fell directly to the ground, and Su Emei's face turned pale.
Just now, Li Ye was still discussing with Su Emei, why the demon clan didn't send someone to assassinate him directly, and now the other party is here.
"Are you Li Ye, the king of An?" When the nine-foot man saw Li Ye, his eyes lit up, his wrist shook, and two giant horn-shaped strange weapons appeared in his hands.
"Demon descendant?" Su Emei is worthy of being the reincarnation of the Guanghan Fairy, awakening part of her strength and memory, and recognizing the other party's identity at a glance.
"Demon ......" Li Ye had heard of this name, but when he heard the word descendant, he was still slightly relieved. If it is really the first generation of demons, it is a very strong cultivator, he is afraid that he does not have the strength to fight, since he is a descendant, then he can still fight.
Rao is like this, Li Ye also felt clearly, the other party has the cultivation of the Yin God and the real person, and he doesn't dare to really relax.
That's the real Yin God of the Demon Clan, and it's completely different concepts from the ordinary Yin God Real People. Unlike the powerful witch clan, the demon clan is known for its strong magic. Li Ye had never encountered such an opponent before, not even before crossing, and he had zero experience with the enemy.
Moreover, the other party's cultivation is one level higher than him.
The demon didn't wait for Li Ye's answer, snorted dissatisfiedly, and twisted his shoulders. He was wearing a large black cloak, and with this twist, countless small black beads popped out of the cloak, like lice and ants, slanted down like rain, and fell to the ground and sank into the soil.
Immediately, within a radius of hundreds of zhang around Li Ye and others, there was a dense sound of rustling, the surface of the loess dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it cracked inch by inch, and wisps of dark green air emerged from the cracks in the soil, like flames and smoke.
The cracked lines on the ground spread rapidly from all directions to the center of the circle where Li Ye and the others were. Everywhere he went, the crops died, the plants withered, and the water in the canals evaporated. The place where the green smoke bubbled was like a dead field, and it was weird and terrifying to the extreme.
Field!
The range of Li Ye and the others with a circumference of hundreds of zhang has become the domain of the demon.
The demon grinned, even if he had laughed, he waved the giant horn in his hand, and quickly rushed towards Li Ye: "Since you don't answer, it's a tacit acquiescence." I, the demon, have come to kill you on the orders of the Holy Son and the Immortal Court! If you know each other, you will die obediently, and do not make fearless struggles!"
Li Ye's eyes sank, and as soon as his wrist flipped, Lu Gujian was already in his hand, and he was ready to kill.
Someone struck before him.
An osmanthus flower floated in front of Li Ye's eyes, and Su Emei had already swept out with a sword. Three thousand green silk flutters like a waterfall, and the fairy posture is peerless in the scattered osmanthus flowers in the sky.
At this moment, Su E's eyebrows, the navy blue robe on her body flashed with white light, and it became a gold-edged robe on a white background, and the three flame-like golden red flowers between her eyebrows added a heroic spirit.
As soon as she made a move, a hundred and ten sword lights slashed towards the demon.
Li Ye's footsteps slowly retracted.
He understood what Su Emei meant.
Su Emei struck first, to explore the way for him, so that he had time to observe the demon's spells and find an opportunity to defeat the enemy.
After all, both of them are just Lingchi real people, and the other party is a real person of the demon clan, and they are descendants of the demon demon. The demon clan, which has not been out for thousands of years, has what kind of ability and combat power it has so far, don't say that the monks in the world have never seen it, and the immortals in the sky have no bottom in their hearts.
