Chapter 1411

After the explosion, Xiaotao Shanzhuang was in a mess. Guests who came to visit were distributed all over the villa; originally they were worried about not seeing the head of the Qi family and not being able to send out their gifts, but now everyone was scrambling to run out, fearing that the next explosion would send them to the sky.

Guests with status were all surrounded by guards and moved toward the gate.

Everyone thought that they would be safe if they left first, and the situation was tense and chaotic.

However, after soothing several important guests and issuing several important instructions, Qi Yunsheng didn't even have time to go to his mother's courtyard, raising his hand to summon the blue bird in the night sky: "Where is the son-in-law?"

"Went north! Fighting in the Xunhe Hall."

"Went north?" Qi Yunsheng was very surprised, "How could it be north? Did the fugitives go there?"

To the north, there was only the cliff with whistling wind. Why didn't Xue Zongwu rendezvous with his subordinates first before going to catch the arsonists?

Thinking this, his feet didn't stop, and he gathered his team to head north.

When he separated from Xue Zongwu earlier, the two had whispered to each other; Qi Yunsheng would rush to help capture the enemy after confirming the safety of the banquet hall.

Although there were many dignitaries present today, Qi Yunsheng still believed that the goal of the troublemakers was most likely Xue Zongwu.

This was his spiritual sense.

"Yes, the two who fled north became three." The blue robin added, "Three men in black, the third one wearing armor, covered in black smoke, fighting with General Xue to a standstill!"

Wearing black armor and covered in black smoke? Qi Yunsheng frowned: "They really imitate it well."

However, the one who could fight Xue Zongwu to a standstill was definitely not an ordinary practitioner. Xue Zongwu's skills had long surpassed his master's, and it was hard to find an opponent within the Yao Nation.

Where did such a group of people pop out from?

Just at this moment, two people rushed out from the front, both under thirty; they were the last two disciples he had accepted before retiring from Qingnie Mountain, Bao Xin and Fu Wending.

Taking advantage of the Yao King's celebration, they also came to visit their teacher and had been in the banquet hall all along.

"You came just in time." Qi Yunsheng was also overjoyed to see them; he had two more good hands to use.

"Go." With the villa master's order, the team of forty or fifty people was in place in the blink of an eye, going together to support Xue Zongwu.

With this local snake going out, and teacher and disciples joining hands, Qi Yunsheng was very confident that the opponent would definitely become a turtle in a jar.

After catching them, he would vent his anger for Xiaotao Shanzhuang! Qi Yunsheng asked the robin about the details of the battle while rushing on the road.

But before they had walked fifty steps, when he passed his side garden, he suddenly heard a rustle in the grass.

Something there? In the rainy night, everything was pitch black and unclear; there were originally two wind-proof lamps in this garden, but for some reason, they had already gone out.

Qi Yunsheng pointed at the azalea bushes: "Drive him out!"

As soon as the words fell, the azalea bushes swayed endlessly, and a giant monster lunged at the team, rising to hurt people! When Qi Yunsheng first saw it, he thought it was a tiger demon, although the fur color was slightly lighter and there were no stripes.

However, when this thing revealed its full appearance, Qi Yunsheng was startled: there was no tiger tail behind the monster, but a huge scissor tail!

That tail was like scissors, and the yellow tiger had just tackled a villa servant when the scissor tail reached out and cut the person's trachea.

The yellow tiger and the scissor tail could actually fight their own battles without interfering with each other. Qi Yunsheng was about to make a move when there was a grunt in the bushes, and the next monster made its debut—

A giant wild boar, with such long thorns!

Qi Yunsheng also claimed to be well-informed, but he had never seen such a giant wild boar. As soon as it appeared, the space in the garden seemed to become cramped.

This thing rolled itself into a hard ball as soon as it came out, rolling straight toward the crowd. Seeing it was not well-intentioned, no one dared to step forward to block it, including Qi Yunsheng's two disciples.

Even Qi Yunsheng didn't know where to start when facing its comprehensive defense.

Wherever this boar curled into a ball passed, whether it was villa servants or guests, they desperately dodged, fearing to be touched by this thing and rolled into meat pies of various shapes.

The enemy scattered like birds and beasts, and the boar was very unhappy not to have stabbed anyone, so it hummed twice after the rolling stopped and took a deep breath.

Its size also doubled, and the sharp thorns on its body stood up one by one, even more ferocious than a cactus.

Qi Yunsheng understood and immediately ordered: "Hide well, find something to cover yourselves!"

But it was too late. The boar exerted its strength, and the sharp thorns on its body shot in all directions!

As mentioned earlier, this side garden was not large, and could only hold seventy or eighty people; any more and they would have to wait outside.

The villa servants now hated that the garden was too small and the plants too sparse to block the sharp thorns shot by the boar.

Several fell on the spot, and the rest were injured to varying degrees, gritting their teeth in pain. They had no Yuan power to protect their bodies, and the damage caused by each wild boar thorn was real.

Qi Yunsheng's face was as heavy as water, and he threw a red hoop at the boar.

His technique was precise, and it happened to fall in the boar's inevitable path. This thing had just listened to the screams and was satisfied, humming twice without knowing the danger, and stepped over the hoop.

As soon as the red hoop fell under its feet, it turned into a circle with a diameter of two zhang.

Qi Yunsheng clenched his fist again, and the red circle embedded into the ground emitted a faint light, while the boar bumped into the invisible barrier and was actually bounced back.

It didn't understand the situation, bumped again, and was bounced back again, its small eyes full of confusion.

There were many variants of the "Drawing Ground as a Prison" divine ability, and Qi Yunsheng's move was one of them, which could imprison the enemy in place while forbidding escape techniques. It was very effective against enemies who were not very agile or not very bright.

"Finish it off!" He pointed at the boar and ordered the villa servants.

This thing moved relatively slowly but had great lethality, and it was a large-scale indiscriminate attack. The "Drawing Ground as a Prison" spell had a maximum duration of only a quarter of an hour; Xiaotao Shanzhuang had to hurry to finish it off.

The villa servants held knives and guns to stab this living target, and soon came to report: "Master, this thing will curl into a ball, and it can't be pierced!"

The boar found that it was trapped in place and couldn't move, and the little people around were stabbing it with weapons, so it instinctively curled its head and tail, thorns facing outward, becoming a super-large cactus ball.

A stupid method was a good method. Its shell was too hard, invulnerable to knives and guns, and the villa servants had no Yuan power, so for a while, it was like a mouse pulling a turtle with nowhere to start.

Qi Yunsheng had originally intended to rush toward the scissor-tailed tiger, but hearing this, he turned back, muttered a few words, and pinched a spell.

The ground under the boar's feet suddenly rolled, and then dozens of ground thorns emerged, each seven feet long, with spear-like tips.

Most of the ground thorns couldn't work, but one of them happened to pierce into the gap where the boar was curled up, piercing its relatively soft belly in one go.

Black blood splashed everywhere.

The boar's howling in pain could be heard from five miles away. But it didn't die; the pain instead aroused its ferocity, and after the ground thorns disappeared, it bumped into the invisible barrier even more crazily.

Pig blood flowed all over the ground.

This was a demon puppet made by combining a wild boar with a pill bug, showing the tenacious vitality unique to insects.

This scene was quite spectacular; not only did the villa servants stop to watch, but the fleeing guests also stopped their steps.

Qi Yunsheng urged repeatedly: "What are you all standing there for, finish it off!"

The "Drawing Ground as a Prison" divine ability had an upper limit of strength! He had been retired for a long time, and this was not Qingnie Mountain, where practitioners gathered. Xiaotao Shanzhuang basically had ordinary people, and only a dozen guards knew some divine abilities—usually, this was enough; Mangzhou was located in the hinterland of the Yao Nation, who could have thought that someone would dare to come to the door to cause such trouble? Therefore, against this kind of unusual enemy, Qi Yunsheng had to take action himself.

While the villa servants gripped their long weapons and tried to attack the boar's wounds, Qi Yunsheng also turned his attention to the scissor-tailed tiger. This strange thing's movements were exceptionally agile, and the set of moves used against the boar wouldn't work, but fortunately, Bao Xin and Fu Wending joined hands to deal with it, forcing it into a corner of the garden, so it didn't cause more casualties.

Qi Yunsheng was also secretly anxious.

The appearance of these two monsters was too coincidental; it must be that the person behind the scenes was releasing them in coordination with the explosion, just to drag Qi Yunsheng down so he couldn't free his hands to support Xue Zongwu.

Releasing two such big killers in Xiaotao Shanzhuang in a row, the opponent's goal was indeed achieved. Qi Yunsheng couldn't abandon the distinguished guests all over the villa and let these two things kill people at will. No matter which distinguished guest died today, there would be endless trouble later.

Besides, who said the monsters the opponent could release were only two? If there were other monsters lurking in the dark, waiting for Qi Yunsheng to leave before releasing them to cause greater chaos? For now, Qi Yunsheng could only weigh the pros and cons.

And he had to make a decision immediately, right now.

Before he could speak, a loud noise suddenly came from the north, and there was another explosion!

Qi Yunsheng looked up to the north, flames soaring into the sky. The Qionglin Hall, which had been repaired for five and a half years and was only completed last year, had suffered a great disaster tonight!

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Bao Xin, Wending, go north to support your senior brother, leave this place to me!"

He chose a compromise.

"Yes!" The two retreated upon hearing the sound, and the scissor-tailed tiger took the opportunity to lunge out, but was blocked by two fire talismans thrown by Qi Yunsheng.

He hadn't fought with outsiders for many years; Qi Yunsheng took a deep breath, took a few steps forward, and faced the violent tiger head-on.

His two disciples ran quickly toward the north.

As soon as the explosion rang out, the hall roof collapsed in response, and those who were originally fighting on the roof fell into the hall together.

Dust was flying, but the light was not dim, because the fire caused by the squatting beast had already begun to spread. Its fire burned everything, and how could this hall withstand it?

The falling wood and tiles ignited the wooden structure inside the hall again. The Weng brothers dodged the falling objects from high altitude and looked back, wow, fire started everywhere; at the speed this fire was spreading, in less than a quarter of an hour, the entire hall would be burning fiercely.

Playing with fire was very dangerous, and they didn't dare to stay, so they covered their heads and ran out.

Before they had run two steps, they saw Lu Ping.

This person was too unlucky; he and another attendant fell from the roof and were just pinned by the large tree demon.

The tree demon rode on these two people and outputted, killing the attendant on the spot, while Lu Ping was beaten until his body was full of holes, and he forcibly cut off two branches and tore his right hand before barely struggling out.

Just at this moment, the Weng brothers passed by, and seeing their arch-enemy's left leg still entangled by the tree demon, they laughed very unkindly:

What are you waiting for, a god-given opportunity!
