Chapter 22: Under the Shadow of Blood in the Night

As Ye Xiu shouted, everyone in the clearing ran out at once, and they came to Ye Xiu with a vigilant face.

"What's going on?" asked the red moon, who was watching the night, and several others followed.

However, before Ye Xiu could speak, they smelled a faint smell of blood, and the next moment they found the young man in the wooden house who had his chest cavity opened and was dead.

"Why didn't the other person come out? Ye Xiu found that the people around him were red leaves, square-faced boys, girls who showed tiger teeth, and the pale young man who went to Wushan with her.

The people present were instantly shocked, and then ran to the wooden house where the boy was. The next moment, what they saw was the corpse of the teenager with only a thin layer of skin attached to the neck, bright red. And the strange creature had already slit open the corpse's belly, constantly searching for something.

"Damn!" Momiji was furious, and a fireball flew towards the strange creature.

But something happened to everyone, and the fist-sized creature instantly appeared on the other side of the wooden house, and the fireball only fell on the corpse, not harming the thing in the slightest.

"It's already a monk comparable to our Qi refining layer, it's a real demon beast, retreat!" Ye Xiu saw its amazing speed again, and immediately confirmed it.

Just as they were exiting the hut, the creature let out a strange laugh like a howling wind, and then rushed towards the group. After Ye Xiu and Momiji broke off, seeing this, Momiji shot out a fireball again and flew towards the creature.

The creature's figure dodged the fireball in the air and continued to fly towards them, and in the blink of an eye, it came to everyone and slashed at the red leaves with a claw. Seeing that slender and terrifying sharp claws were about to pierce Momiji's neck, she couldn't react at all.

At this time, Ye Xiufei's sword flashed and stabbed at the creature's head. Sure enough, the next moment the creature had to give up attacking Red Leaves, and with a turn of his body, a pair of claws aimed at Ye Xiu's flying sword and swung it.

After the first blow, the sword flew upside down, and the creature was knocked back. Fine droplets oozed from Hongye's neck, and she had palpitations, if it weren't for Ye Xiu's presence, she would probably have died just now. The creature's speed was terrifying, and the monk could see its movements, but his body couldn't keep up.

"Imperial Sword Technique!, you can actually resist the sword at the first level of Qi refining!" Momiji let out an exclamation. And when the others saw this scene, they were also surprised, because it was recorded in the exercises that the first layer of qi refining could only barely make the flying sword float, and they couldn't even stay for a long time. Momiji glanced at Ye Xiu gratefully, and then they slowly exited the wooden house in a confrontation with the creatures. But the creatures didn't come along, to their relief.

"What's that?" asked the pale-faced teenager. Before you know it, two more people died, and everyone was worried.

"Is that thing dead, and will it still attack us?" asked the Tigertooth Girl with a look of horror.

"It's still in there!" Ye Xiu looked serious.

They didn't know what to do, they all saw the speed of the creature, if they escaped alone, they were afraid that they would be killed in an instant, and now they didn't dare to run into the woods late at night, the only way was to rely on Ye Xiu and Hongye.

At this time, the fist-sized creature also walked out of the wooden house, but it didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, but stared at Ye Xiu and the others, and rushed towards everyone after its exposed teeth opened and closed for a while.

Ye Xiu didn't have any more hidden means, he took off his sword and attacked the creature, only the speed of the flying sword could catch up with this creature. He controlled the flying sword and pursued the creature with difficulty, but its body was too small, and its movements were extremely agile, and after flicking Ye Xiu's flying sword away, it rushed towards the square-faced boy.

Ye Xiu frowned, and the flying sword continued to stab at the creature after hovering in the air, but it couldn't catch up. Seeing that the creature was about to kill the square-faced monk, a red wall of fire suddenly appeared in front of the young man, and the creature couldn't dodge, and directly collided with it, letting out a terrible scream.

Ye Xiu's flying sword followed closely, and when it sank into the wall of fire, the creature let out a miserable scream again. The next moment, a black shadow swept out of the wall of fire, and it was the creature. This time, however, its hair had been scorched, its skin had been burned, and one of its claws had disappeared.

After the red leaves condensed into the wall of fire, their faces instantly turned pale, and they gasped for breath in the crowd.

Not just the square-faced monk, everyone was terrified, if it weren't for the wall of fire, whoever the creature rushed at would have died.

Ye Xiu still commanded the flying sword to attack the strange creature, but it rushed towards everyone again as if it had been stimulated. After exchanging views with Ye Xiu's flying sword for a while, he caught a gap and flew directly towards the tiger tooth girl.

She looked at the creature rushing towards her, and for a moment froze in place, unable to move. At this moment, the pale-faced young man's arm crossed forward, blocking the girl's body.

The next moment, the creature pierced the boy's arm directly, and blood splattered. But the moment the creature passed through the arm. With a claw of his right hand, the boy directly pinched it and controlled it in his arm.

Before the creature could react, Ye Xiu's flying sword passed through directly, piercing along with the young man's palm, ending the creature.

The boy's face became even paler, and his forehead was covered with sweat. The tiger tooth girl had already reacted, and when she came to the boy, her heart ached, and she cried directly.

Ye Xiu took out a healing pill and crushed it and sprinkled it on the young man's palm and pierced left arm. I saw that the wound healed quickly, and after a while, blood and flesh grew, which made his pain a lot less.

The creature was killed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In one night, two people died, and even they almost died tragically, and their faces became even more gloomy and desperate.

"We survived. Ye Xiu said lightly, wanting to cheer them up again, but it had no effect. The reality remains brutal.

Hongye rejected the pills handed to her by Ye Xiu, for a month, she had to make use of these pills as reasonably as possible, and now at night she had to rely on herself to recover. Ye Xiu was not reluctant and withdrew the pill.

"Senior Brother Ye, thank you, otherwise we might all die. The tiger tooth girl came to Ye Xiu and said gratefully.

"You should thank him, if he hadn't made that thing pause, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to kill him. Ye Xiu pointed to the pale young man.

The girl lowered her head, her face turned red, and she remembered the scene when she and the young man were seen by Ye Xiu. She ran back to the boy with her head down.

That night, no one slept again, they all gathered together, quietly waiting for the day to dawn. By the time the autumn leaves have recovered, it will be almost dawn.

Hongye got up and asked Ye Xiu: "I didn't expect that Senior Brother would master the Imperial Sword Technique on the first level of Qi refining, and I would be grateful to Senior Brother, otherwise we would be really fierce and unlucky." ”

"I'm just a fluke, soul control requires talent, and I can only specialize in swordsmanship. Now that it's getting dark, let's get out of here. Ye Xiu got up and looked into the depths of the woods. The sleepless night has finally passed.
