Fire and thunder exploded, and the forest was filled with smoke.
"What's going on?"
The leading swordsman frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
The dwarf sniffed and lost the smile on his face, "They also have New Style Firearm in their hands, which are muskets!"
When the swordsman heard this, his expression changed, and he immediately took out two black pills from his waist, flicked his wrist, and threw them on the ground in front of him.
Bang bang!
There were two muffled sounds, and suddenly thick smoke rose up, colorful, with a pungent smell, covering the surrounding sight.
And this Three Ghosts of Wu Prefecture also quickly changed its direction and hid behind a nearby tree.
They have been hiding for many years, not hiding in the wilderness, but changing their appearance and wandering around Jinling and other places.
Naturally, they knew about the changes brought about by New Style Firearm, and set up a trap to rob a batch of New-Style Gunpowder.
Of course, I was often chased by Commandery Commandant Office, and almost died at the hands of Fire God Spear, so I accumulated some experience in dealing with it.
"Can't wait any longer."
Longyou Swordsman Long Kan said in a deep voice, "According to the previous plan, I will drag that Li Yan away. The remaining people are not of concern. You can detour from both sides and enter for a sneak attack!"
After saying that, he pulled out Miao Blade with a loud cry, pressed his backhand behind him, and Hidden Strength exploded with his feet, rushing out suddenly.
His kung fu has reached Transformed Strength. He used a special step, with his body half-bent and only touching the ground on his toes. It seemed weird, but his speed was extremely amazing, and he kept changing directions, like a ghost.
If you want to aim with a firearm, ordinary people simply cannot do it.
Not only that, he also threw out two black pills again during the march, and the colorful smoke continued to spread, and soon spread outside the ruined temple.
Inside Xu Shu Temple, Li Yan also stood up and took out Severing Dust Blade. Without saying a word, he rushed directly into the thick smoke.
The other party uses this method to force him to fight.
Once a Transformed Strength expert rushes into the temple and gets close to him if there is thick smoke, Lu San and others will be in danger.
And this swordsman had clearly done some research on Li Yan and knew that he had Smelling Mystical Power, so he added a lot of pungent herbs to the smoke pill.
Li Yan As soon as we rushed into the thick smoke, a strong wind hit us.
However, the swordsman suddenly accelerated and used a chopping style. However, he did not fly into the air, but threw it from his back. With the steps of his feet, he drew a beautiful arc and slashed towards Li Yan's head.
The so-called Miao Blade is not the weapon of Miao People, but because the blade is shaped like a grass seedling, it is mainly used by the royal family Imperial Guards.
Later, this knife entered the world. Because of its high price and difficulty in use, there were not many users.
But as long as you dare to use it, you will definitely be a master of sword skills.
Bang!
Li Yan swung his sword to block, and sparks suddenly flew everywhere.
Feeling the powerful force coming from the blade, Li Yan took advantage of the situation and swept away the opponent Miao Blade. He exerted force with his feet and advanced instead of retreating.
The Severing Dust Blade he uses is a horizontal sword. The shape of the sword is inherited from the first sword of the Han Dynasty. Tang Era is commonly used in the army.
Two knives, each with its own strengths.
Miao Blade The blade is longer, can stab and cut, has wide open and close moves, a large attack range, and rich techniques, including both sword and gun skills.
His Severing Dust Blade is shorter and has a straight and sharp blade, suitable for cutting and thrusting. As long as you take two steps forward, it is the best distance.
In sword fighting, distance is the most important thing.
Just between these two steps, the offensive and defensive momentum will reverse.
Unexpectedly, the swordsman took three steps back, jumped back at the same time, held the sword in his right hand, pressed the blade with his left hand, and stabbed down.
Like an eagle striking, the tip of the knife pierces Li Yan between the eyebrows.
Bang!
Li Yan swung his sword to fend it off again, held it in his hand, and said, "Miao Blade retreated, eagle strike, this was created by Longyou army Wang ZhongSi back then, I didn't expect to see it again now."
Back then, Wang ZhongSi was raised in the palace and made good use of Miao Blade. After joining the Longyou army, he improved his sword skills based on actual combat.
I had only heard of this sword technique before, Li Yan couldn't help but feel happy to see it.
"Too much nonsense!"
Longyou The swordsman Long Kan snorted coldly, suddenly turned to one side, held the knife in both hands, stepped on the chain step, the blade was like a short spear, and it stabbed continuously in a heavy rain.
This time, Miao Blade showed its strengths, like a knife and a gun, directly widening the distance, forcing Li Yan to retreat continuously.
Li Yan frowned and dealt with it carefully, swinging the sword from side to side, just swinging the opponent's knife tip away, looking for an opportunity to break the situation.
His swordsmanship is not as good as his boxing skills, but it has been carefully honed. However, the man in front of him is obviously better than him in swordsmanship.
Similarly, Long Kan was also shocked.
He specifically bought Li Yan information and knew that the opponent's boxing skills were sharp, but he did not expect that his sword skills were also weak.
He failed to take down two special moves, and he also used smoke balls to block his sight. I'm afraid he won't be able to do anything to the opponent for a while.
However, he also saw something fishy.
Li Yan just waved his sword to resist, and looked for opportunities to fight with the sword. He clearly wanted to use his hand to practice his sword skills.
A reckless boy!
Long Kan was a little annoyed, but there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
He was fighting life and death, but he didn't use all his strength. He clearly didn't take him seriously. This guy has a good reputation, but he's just a kid!
As long as his two companions break into the ruined temple and kill Wang Dao Xuan and others, this kid will definitely be in a state of confusion, and then will be his chance.
Thinking of this, Long Kan also calmed down.
Miao Blade is rich in skills. He even deliberately did some tricks and deliberately dragged Li Yan here.
On the other side, Corpse Granny and dwarf Huang JiLang are also approaching the ruined temple.
I saw Corpse Granny taking out a porcelain bottle from his arms. After opening it, there was a stinking corpse oil inside.
She drank it in one gulp, and black blood vessels immediately bulged out from under her skin, her eyes became pitch black, and Corpse Qi spread all over her body.
This Corpse Granny sounds like a miserable person.
She was originally from the Xiangxi Corpse Exorcist lineage, but later converted to Buddhism and learned the Buddhist secret method of Vajra. She originally wanted to stay away from the world of mortals and end her life, but she did not expect that her entire family was wiped out due to a feud between Jianghu and Jianghu.
In order to take revenge, she used the secret method of corpse refining and forcibly practiced the Buddhist secret method of Vajra. Although she killed her enemies with her own hands, her character changed drastically and she entered the evil path.
After drinking the corpse oil, her whole body became as stiff as a zombie. With a shrill roar, she jumped several times and rushed directly towards the ruined temple.
She knew that the people inside had firearms, so she did not enter through the main entrance. Instead, she held her head and smashed through the temple wall with a loud bang.
As soon as we entered, there was a roar coming from the front.
Seeing a giant ax fall, Corpse Granny roared angrily, clasped his palms together, and tried to clamp the ax head.
Her strength is now astonishing, and she can easily grab the blade with both hands.
But when she clamped the ax blade, her expression changed drastically.
The one wielding the ax was Wu Ba, whose strength was far superior to that of her now. She continued to fall without any hindrance.
Corpse Granny gritted his teeth and roared, quickly turning his head sideways.
Poof!
The ax struck directly on the shoulder blade, but with her strength and zombie-like hard body, she finally blocked it.
But immediately, Corpse Granny felt even more uncomfortable.
This ax looks like it's full of pits and is just scrap metal, but it's actually a Mountain Demon Human Hybrid Tribe magical weapon that inherently contains evil spirits and can break evil spirits.
Cutting on the body is like a red-hot iron.
Phew~
Corpse Granny As soon as his chest and abdomen bulge, he will blow out the poisonous corpse fog.
At the same time, the dwarf Huang JiLang also crawled out from behind him and suddenly threw out a wooden puppet.
Accompanied by the laughter and laughter, he quickly rushed towards Wang Dao Xuan.
In their eyes, this person is the greatest threat, and Wu Ba is specially assigned to protect him. Close combat is definitely not possible.
Whoosh!
At this moment, a white shadow flashed past. It was Little White Fox Chu Qi. It suppressed the Wood Puppet puppet like a ghost and tore it to pieces.
The dwarf Huang JiLang shook his body and took out the dart from his waist.
Bang!
The gunfire exploded, and the upper half of Corpse Granny's body completely disappeared.
There is an ambush!
The dwarf Huang JiLang was startled and quickly raised his head.
Only then did he realize that there was a man squatting on the roof.
It was Sha LiFei who was lying in wait.
He was carrying Six Ding Six Jia Talisman that he had snatched from Xiong BaoDong, which could avoid the attack of spells. The modified Fire God Spear was also wrapped in that weird cassock, so Divine Ability couldn't detect it at all.
This shot directly smashed Corpse Granny to pieces.
The dwarf Huang JiLang usually relies on hiding behind Corpse Granny and the swordsman. When he saw this, he was frightened and wanted to withdraw.
But at this moment, Wang Dao Xuan picked up the puppet fragments on the ground, pinched Mystical Gestures, and Soul Calming Bell shook it gently.
Ring ring ring!
The bell vibrated, but it was roaring in the dwarf's head.
His body swayed, and before he could react, Wu Ba's big hand pinched his head, picked him up, and slapped him against the wall.
Snap!
In an instant, his head exploded, and his blood, flesh and brain were covered in a wall.
When Sha LiFei saw this, he immediately yelled, "Oh, you're such a big guy, just throw it out, you've made such a mess, how can you sleep tonight?"
"Fuck you!"
Wu Ba chuckled, stretched out his hand and wiped it on the wall.
Others shook their heads and smiled, but didn't take it to heart.
In the thick fog outside the temple, the expression of swordsman Long Kan suddenly changed.
He could feel that in a short period of time, two companions had died.
Didn't the intelligence say that Li Yan didn't have any experts around him?
He secretly thought something was wrong, and suddenly chanted. "Om Azina, Zhiga, Om, Hum..."
This is Vairocana Buddha Heart Mantra.
Vairocana Buddha, also known as "Locana Buddha", is also called "Mahavairocana", which symbolizes the light shining all over the place. The mantra can both cultivate the mind and exorcise demons, and can also attack Divine Soul.
However, compared to his sword skills, his magic skills are really average.
"Tantric Dharma?"
Li Yan was not affected at all. He frowned slightly and lost interest completely. He held the handle of the knife and kept thinking.
Zizzi!
On the blade, lightning suddenly flashed.
This is the dark thunder stored by Severing Dust Blade Twelve Yuan Chen Treasure Coins.
Yin Lei Zhen hun, Long Kan's body stiffened and he suddenly felt dizzy.
Before he could react, Li Yan quickly stepped forward, turned around, and Blade Light flashed past, and his huge head fell to the ground.
"Such a good swordsmanship, what a pity..."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, picked up Miao Blade, checked it, and groped around on the other person's body.
Of course he knew the arrangements of these killers.
Outsiders may think that this team depends entirely on him, but Li Yan is absolutely confident in his companions.
Lu San can control birds and beasts, Wu Ba is like the prehistoric Barbarians, Wang Dao Xuan has eliminated all kinds of miscellaneous magic, and is also very proficient in curses.
Even Sha LiFei is now considered a firearms expert.
Everyone in the team has grown up now, but has been overshadowed by his brilliance. They have gone to other places, and they are all good players in their own right.
If they cooperate with each other, even he will have a headache.
Phew~
Inside Xu Shu Temple, Wang Dao Xuan used the altar to burn Yellow Talisman, recited an obscurity spell, and instantly the wind howled and blew away the smoke.
And Li Yan also found something from the swordsman.
Apart from a few smoking poison pills, there is also a small black Buddha statue and two letters.
The Buddha statue is Vairocana Buddha, which should be its inheritance. It is made of bronze, Tibetan style, and has the smell of butter and incense. It was cut directly by Li Yan's knife.
He entered the ruined temple with two letters.
In the ruined temple, Sha LiFei and others are also cleaning the battlefield.
A book was found from Corpse Granny's body, which said "Corpse Scripture", and some bamboo tubes were found from the dwarf's backpack, all filled with New-Style Gunpowder.
Li Yan opened the two letters and looked at them one by one.
One of the letters was written by the Heavenly Saint Sect to Long Kan, asking him to come and kill Li Yan and others. After success, not only would they receive a generous reward, but they would also be allowed to build a building in Tangya Tusi City Cave.
The other letter is from a snow area.
This swordsman has indeed learned the secret method of Tantric Buddhism and is also the protector of a certain temple. The letter said that on Great Snow Mountain, Demonic Beast, who was sealed by King Gesar, escaped from trouble and asked him to take time to go back and protect the temple...
Li Yan looked at it and handed the two letters to Gong Qun.
After Gong Qun read it, he said in a deep voice, "Since the appearance of New Style Firearm, some forces have secretly gathered together. Like these lone wolves who run single gangs, they often attack and rob the imperial court's freight teams."
"Also, His Majesty has issued an order to restrict Xuanmen since many years ago. Anyone who enters Blessed Grotto-Heavens must show the Daoist ultimatum."
"This is the unified plan of Xuanmen. If you dare to violate it, you will be taken back from the responsibility of Blessed Grotto-Heavens management, forcing these demons and evil cultivators to look everywhere."
"They took refuge in Tusi City, and some of them had this reason."
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "Isn't this forcing them to rebel?"
"There is no compromise on this matter."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "These people rely on their magic to do evil everywhere. They deserve to die. If we relax, more people will suffer. It is better to let them gather and eradicate them all."
With that said, he looked at Lu San, "Brother Lu San, have you asked?"
Lu San shook his head and said, "The macaque was just summoned temporarily. He was confused and couldn't ask anything, but he was definitely not the three people in front of him."
Li Yan looked outside the temple, narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems there are still people following us, who can also control birds and beasts."
"Maybe, it's Qin Zhihai from Tusi City."
"Yan XiaoGe, what should we do?"
"The other party uses birds and beasts to monitor them, so it's hard to find them. In that case, just play tricks with them. At Guanzhong, someone also posted a reward."
"If we kill too many people, no one will dare to take this job anymore!"
A few days later, in a mountain forest near Baokang County.
"On August 11th, Three Ghosts of Wu Prefecture missed, and none of the nearby Black Bear Stronghold bandits survived..."
"On August 12, the body of Xiangxi Gu Master Lan YuanSang was found. Only his head was left, and it was placed on a stone..."
"On August 13th, those people suddenly turned back and laid an ambush. I don't know what secret method was used to kill all the Long Xiang Army who were chasing them. Everyone had their souls stolen. It was suspected that they had summoned the Yin Division soldiers and horses..."
"The news has spread, and many green forest experts have backed down and left Nanzhang County in a hurry."
"Now, the reputation of those people has become more and more famous..."
"Enough!"
A one-eyed man in blue had an ugly face.
Next to him, stood an old man in black clothes and white hair, who was clearly Protector Wang who had sneaked into Wuchang to cause trouble.
"Friend Dao Qin, don't bother."
Protector Wang shook his head and said, "I know you want to avenge Princess Yun'er, but you want to kill them. Ordinary green forest experts are useless, unless God Ascender takes action."
The one-eyed man said coldly, "Where's Huang LiuShi, those people have done bad things many times, is it possible that the ghost sect's fatwa is just a fart?"
Protector Wang smiled slightly, "Huang LiuShi will preside over the resurrection of the leader, and will personally crush these little things to death."
"We here have to hurry up and don't miss important events!"
As he said that, he looked across and said, "Is it enough to just dig out this water channel?"
On the opposite hillside, countless soldiers were busy digging a trench, one side leading to the mist-shrouded Shennongjia, and the other side leading to Baokang County.
The one-eyed man looked at the sky, "On the other side, Trapped Flood Dragon, the only difference is this waterway. As soon as the thunderstorm breaks out, we can follow the trend, and the water will overflow Baokang County, and pass through Jushui!"
Second update in the afternoon
