Chapter Twenty-Three: The Enemy Meets Each Other
For the current Zhuang You, it is still a little risky to return to Wolongpo in broad daylight. He was worried that he would encounter the patrols of the Monroe Empire or the Imperial Immortal Army on the way. Although he is not yet wanted by the whole country, once they find Zhuang out of the cave, it is estimated that his portrait will be distributed to cities and towns all over the country. After thinking about it for a while, he used his Yuan Force to jump and landed on the hillside above Longtan. He decided to take the mountain road back to Wollong Slope, although the road was a little difficult to walk, and there would be a sneak attack by wild beasts, but it was much better than encountering a patrol or an army of immortals.
What happened in this short period of time made his mind mature. He more and more recognized what Zhuang Xiaotian had taught him, that sometimes people were more terrifying than beasts or demon beasts. He was confident that with his current first-grade cultivator's Yuan Li cultivation, coupled with the power of the Xuanmang Sword, he could completely wipe out an ordinary beast with a single look, but if it was a demon beast in the Demon Yuan Realm, it would take some time.
It's just that this is not a deep mountain and old forest, and there are demon beasts in the demon Yuan period first. Even if they did, they were killed by the Imperial Patrol Army, which patrolled the country regularly. The demon crystals of demon beasts can be bartered for goods at the ziyou market in the city, or sold to obtain spirit coins. It's also a great pleasure for those Imperial Patrols that they haven't encountered in months. They wish they could make a windfall every once in a while, but it's a pity that even the demon beasts in the early stage of the Demon Yuan Realm have the wisdom of five or six-year-old human children. They are fine, and they will not come out of the deep mountains and old forests to seek their own death.
Zhuang You walked up the hillside above Longtan, walked past a mountain beam, and presented the rolling mountains in front of him. Looking at the sunlight hanging high in the sky, the clouds and mist that rendered the mountains, he stopped walking and raised his eyes to enjoy the lovely scenery. He thought it would be nice if he could turn back the clock. He may give up recognizing the Lord with the Xuanmang Sword, and live a peaceful life with his father and mother to be a farmer's son who rests. But now everything has been changed by the Immortal Army and the Guardian Guards of the Monro Empire.
"Blood debts must be paid with blood. Daddy, take a good look at your spirits in the sky. Sooner or later, I'm going to make those people pay."
Zhuang You touched the scene, and the tragic deaths of Zhuang Xiaotian and Liu Sanmei sounded, and the suppressed fire of hatred burned in his chest again. I saw that he was a little crazy to run the Yuan Force, and he slapped several palms at the barren hills and rocks in the distance with grief and indignation. A deafening explosion rang out one after another, and the hard green stone scattered to the ground like broken tofu. He vented, and his heart was happy, but he also attracted the Imperial Patrol who were patrolling nearby.
"Little one, don't go quickly. Nine wind-breaking voices are coming here. โ
Without waiting for Zhuang You to calm down his frantic emotions, Mixed Yuan Long reminded him to leave in time. He sensed from the sound of the breaking wind, and the weakest of them was also the strength of the middle stage of the Origin Realm. Don't look at Zhuang You's means like the Xuanmang Sword that can narrow the gap between Yuan Li, but things are not omnipotent. Not to mention whether the people who came had any powerful means, even under their group beating, Zhuang You probably didn't have much chance of winning. This is no better than in Hongmeng Cave, and there is also the cave protection prohibition left by Xuanhuang that allows him to use his strength.
Zhuang You was stunned, the consciousness he released sensed the direction of the few wind-breaking sounds, decisively turned the Yuan Force, and jumped towards the grassy hillside in the distance. Not long after his figure disappeared, the patrol team led by Ding Buchen surrounded him in an outflanking manner. Seeing the broken stones scattered on the ground, Ding Buchen fell from mid-air. Although his appearance of a thief and a rat face is usually not welcomed, the angry aura that emanates from it now makes people shudder to look at it.
This is a complaint, Ding Buchen has a bad temper. Since the last time Zhuang You set fire to the Xuanmeng Forbidden Land, the Mengluo Empire had given orders to the patrolling patrol and the Imperial Immortal Army. Within a hundred miles of the Xuanmeng Forbidden Area, if the destruction of the mountain is discovered, if the patrol on duty cannot catch the culprit, then they will have to accept the punishment of death.
"Brother, this guy has run away. Let's split up and chase after it. โ
Ding Buchen glanced at the patrol troops who were with him, and decisively gave the order to pursue in four directions. In matters related to their lives and fortunes, there is no room for them to relax. After a little observation, Ding Buchen selected two patrols of equal strength to him and chased them in the direction where Zhuang You left. They judged from the stubble of the fallen grass that the people who bombarded the barren hills would not be far away.
Zhuang You lacks flying skills, and now he can only use Yuan Li to jump in the barren grass. Although the speed was several times faster than that of ordinary people, the wild grass he stepped on left clues for Ding Buchen, who was looking for him. They chased them all the way and found Zhuang You near a small hill called Thunderbolt Dingzi, who was up and down like a leopard in the barren grass.
"Damn, it's this little brute again. Last time, it was a good thing for him to spoil his uncle. The brothers were outflanked. Catch him and we'll go back and claim the reward. โ
Ding Buchen glanced at Zhuang You's back, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of encirclement to another patrol who came with him. The two patrols nodded knowingly, and saw that they quickly urged Yuan Li and flew out from the left and right sides of Ding Buchen respectively.
Just when they were trying to encircle and suppress Zhuang You, the consciousness he released had already sensed the general direction of their pursuit. Seeing that he had no way to escape, he decided to stop and meet the few patrols who were not very strong. When Ding Buchen Yin chased after him with a smile, the two patrols also came over in time, and the three of them surrounded Zhuang You in the middle.
Seeing that the person who came was Ding Buchen, Zhuang You's anger immediately surged. He casually spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth, and summoned the Xuanmang Sword with a clear mind. He didn't wait for Ding Buchen to get closer, and he controlled the Xuanmang Sword that emitted a crackling sound to meet him. He wants to do it himself, and he has insulted Liu Sanmei's good sรจ with his own hands.
"It turned out to be you kid. Old Tan, send a signal to the other brothers. Today is a great opportunity for our brothers to make a fortune. It was this kid who set fire to the Xuanmeng Forbidden Land. โ
Ding Buchen dodged the sharp blow from Zhuang Youlu's body, and while sacrificing his spirit rank sword, he gave orders to the patrol soldier who was wielding the sword beside him.
Zhuang You knew in his heart that if they sent a signal and recruited the Divine Guard, he would be doomed. But helplessly, he was entangled by Ding Buchen, even if he had the Xuanmang Sword in his hand, he was also lacking in skills, and he felt powerless. Seeing that the patrol army surnamed Tan sent a signal to gather people in the air, Zhuang You was ruthless and decided to give up his plan to cut Ding Buchen, and mobilized all the Yuan power in the sea of qi and poured it into the Xuanmang Sword. He wanted to use the power of the Xuan Flame again to fight quickly, and then leave this dangerous place that had put him in a desperate situation.
"Watch out for the sword in his hand. That sword is a bit weird, and if I guess right, it should be a quasi-god-level magic weapon. โ
Hearing the words of the quasi-god-level magic weapon, the patrol army surnamed Wang who was using the spirit spear hurriedly urged Yuan Li and stabbed at Zhuang You's vital points. Seeing the light and shadow of Bai Sรจ Yuanli flickering, Zhuang You suddenly fell into a dangerous situation, and once he was careless, he would catch the path of the spirit spear.
Zhuang You was extremely careful to dodge waves of danger. When the Xuanmang Sword absorbed the Yuan Force to the extreme, he immediately urged the Heart Control Sword to bombard with the oncoming Spirit Spear. I saw a yellow and red fire dragon rushing out from the Xuanmang Sword, roaring up against the tip of the spirit spear. As a scream rang out, the spear body of the spirit spear and the spear-wielding hand of the patrol surnamed Wang were on fire. The fire attached to the patrol man's hand and ran up the sleeve of the standard armor, and soon swallowed his entire arm into the fire.
Seeing that even rolling on the spot couldn't extinguish the weird fire, Ding Buchen couldn't bear the patrol soldier's death, he quickly flew in front of the patrol surnamed Wang, and the wheel sword cut off the standard armor arm that had a tendency to melt. At this time, other patrols who got the signal also rushed to arrive.
Listening to the painful wails of the patrol army surnamed Wang, Ding Buchen's gaze at Zhuang You became more and more fierce, and he couldn't wait to swallow it quickly. He glanced at the patrol army that surrounded Zhuang You in the middle, and coldly said a few words that made people feel frightened.
