Chapter 154

Among the emerald, lush mountains and forests.

Two figures flew by.

Looking back from time to time, seemingly wary of something.

"Damn it, how can there be demon beasts here!"

A young man who was unbelievably handsome had the sleeve of his right arm torn open, blood flowing, looking extremely disheveled.

Behind.

One could faintly hear the hissing of wild beasts, and the thumping sound of running on all fours.

"Tao Shidi Fang, hold on!"

A tall woman with a temperament that kept people at a distance, like cold ice, glanced at the man with her peripheral vision and frowned slightly.

"Senior Sister, I..."

The young man was just about to speak.

"Roar!"

With a beast roar, one saw a demon beast with a strong body, looking like a tiger but not a tiger, like a leopard but not a leopard, actually leaping out from the jungle on the side, rushing straight toward the young man.

Although demon beasts don't have intelligence, their instinct for killing allows them to accurately find the weakest and kill them first.

"No"

The young man's eye sockets were about to crack, his eyes blood-red.

The tall woman's heart sank.

They were originally three people going up the mountain, but they encountered an attack by demon beasts, and there were two of them; one of their companions had already been separated from them, and looking at the situation, it was highly likely that...

No time to think anymore.

The tall woman gritted her teeth, pulled out a yellow talisman paper from her sleeve, and muttered words in her mouth.

"Heaven and earth are vast, the universe is vast, water and fire five elements, listen to my command, fire!"

As the word fire was spoken.

The tall woman's slender fingers pinched the talisman paper and stuck it toward the waist and abdomen of the tiger-leopard beast.

"Boom!"

Just as the talisman paper touched the body of the tiger-leopard beast, a huge ball of fire exploded between the woman and the tiger-leopard beast.

The woman was prepared, her body floated away, and she was not affected by the flames at all.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

The young man also took the opportunity to distance himself from the tiger-leopard beast.

Apparently, he was already familiar with the woman's move.

Then he heard a roar.

The firelight dissipated without a trace in an instant; although the fur of the tiger-leopard beast was scorched black, it didn't suffer much damage overall.

Both of their expressions became even more solemn.

At this time—

The roar of wild beasts also sounded behind them.

"Miserable!"

The young man's expression changed drastically, looking extremely ugly, his eyes flickering as he looked at the tall woman.

Seemingly wanting to take action.

Just at this critical moment, a loud laugh sounded in the forest: "Damn it, ate my wild vegetables for ten days, finally found you."

The next instant.

A sturdy man like a small tower killed his way out of the jungle.

Tan Hu's arm, like a python, actually hugged the tiger-leopard beast directly from behind and shouted "up".

One saw the tiger-leopard beast like a small wild cat, being hugged by him, and then fiercely smashed toward a tree on the side.

A flash of surprise crossed the tall woman's eyes: "Born Vajra?!"

At the same time.

Several figures also appeared in the originally quiet mountains and forests around, and another middle-aged man also pulled out a long, thin saber like a willow leaf and rushed to kill the other tiger-leopard beast.

He was connected to the aura of dozens of people beside him.

Although his personal strength couldn't compare to Tan Hu, he also used this to suppress the demon beast.

"Formation?"

Seeing this scene, the tall woman gave the young man a look, and her footsteps moved backward slowly, apparently wanting to quietly leave this place of right and wrong while it was chaotic.

She had only taken half a step back.

An old man's voice sounded behind her:

"Girl, wanting to leave without even saying thank you, isn't that a bit too impolite?"

A quarter of an hour later.

Two demon beasts fell into a pool of blood together, already having lost their vitality.

This is the power of the army.

Many people and great power.

The key is that there are many experts, relying on martial arts experts as the eyes of the formation to surround and kill strong enemies.

The demon beast was beheaded.

Tan Hu, Ge Hong, and the others then surrounded Li Rui's direction with unkind expressions, accurately speaking, two strange experts.

Li Rui looked at the boy and girl before him.

Looking about twenty years old, not small.

Looked at the chest again.

Indeed not small.

But in his eyes, they were still two little dolls.

Li Rui's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had seen the tall woman's methods just now.

"Talisman Dao..."

The Talisman Dao of this world is not as imagined, but a derivative of martial arts, a wonderful use of true Qi; those who are good at Talisman Dao are generally called Talisman Masters.

"Seventh-Rank Talisman Master."

Li Rui knew all the Seventh-Rank experts in Qinghe City, but he had no memory of this man and woman.

"The Anning Guard is handling a case, would the two please state your identities."

Li Rui cupped his hands.

The young man was shocked; he didn't expect to encounter the imperial army in these deep mountains and old forests.

In contrast, the tall woman was much calmer.

Seemingly having guessed the identity of Li Rui's group long ago. At this time, Tan Hu and Ge Hong also cooperated and took another step forward.

The pressure was fully exerted.

In order to hunt down these two demon beasts that harmed the villagers of Willow Tree Village, they first stayed in Willow Tree Village for five days to inquire about news, and after no results, they simply searched the mountains for a full six days.

Heaven does not disappoint those who work hard.

Finally found them.

If it weren't for these two people who happened to be chased and killed by demon beasts, and they were nearby, they would probably have to eat the northwest wind for a while.

The tall woman bit her red lips slightly: "We two are elders of the Sky Fire Sect, ordered by the Sect Master to come to Qinghe to handle affairs, and encountered an attack by demon beasts on the way; thank you all for your help."

Hearing it was people from the Sky Fire Sect.

Tan Hu and Ge Hong were both a bit surprised.

This is a sect that specializes in Talisman Dao.

=9+Book_Bar

Quite famous in Anning Prefecture, and the disciples and elders rarely walk in the Jianghu.

Although Talisman Masters are not a small group, their numbers are far too few compared to martial artists.

If it's a person, practice according to the cultivation technique; even if you can't practice it, you can strengthen your body, and if you can supplement it with medicine, three or four out of ten can enter the rank, which is many times lower than the threshold of Talisman Dao, so martial arts can prevail in the Yu Kingdom.

As for Talisman Dao, just knowing that they enter the talisman with true Qi, the number cannot be large.

It is rumored that Talisman Masters have special means to cultivate Qi before the Seventh Rank, but correspondingly, their physique will be a big chunk worse than martial artists of the same level, and the requirements for comprehension are extremely high.

Therefore, a large Sky Fire Sect only has twelve or thirteen people.

Summarized.

Talisman Masters, rare, noble... but not powerful.

Especially at the level of a sect, there is strength in numbers, and generation after generation of inheritance gathers momentum, so martial arts won't be bad. But Talisman Dao sects are different; inheritance is a problem, so it is reasonable that they are difficult to flourish.

Tan Hu licked his lips.

"Damn it, it's the first time I've seen a Talisman Master, I have to take a good look."

Ge Hong chuckled: "Little Brother Tan, with your appearance, don't scare the little girl."

Apparently.

He was teasing the other young man for looking like a sissy.

How could the young man not hear it, but now the situation was stronger than the person; as an Eighth-Rank Talisman Master, he could only swallow his anger.

The tall woman: "Thank you all for your help, the green hills will not change, the green waters will flow, we will meet again."

After saying that, she was about to take the young man away.

But was stopped by Li Rui: "Two, there are many demon beasts in the mountains; since you are noble people of the Sky Fire Sect, and my Anning Guard has the obligation to protect all major sects, we are also going to Qinghe, it's on the way."

"This"

A struggle flashed in the tall woman's eyes, and finally she barely showed a stiff smile.

"Then I will trouble you all."

The young man was anxious upon hearing this: "But Senior Bro"

He originally wanted to say that the Senior Brother's life and death were unknown, but was stopped by the woman's severe look.

The two were surrounded by Li Rui's group and walked toward the direction of going down the mountain.

Li Rui still had a smiling look: "Two, being on the same road is fate; I yearn for the Sky Fire Sect, it's just that my comprehension is not good."

Self-deprecatingly smiled, and then asked:

"I don't know your surnames?"

The tall woman spoke: "Little girl Yao Xue, this is my junior brother, Qu Chengfeng."

"Oh, so it's Master Yao and Master Qu."

Hearing Li Rui call them Master, the corner of Qu Chengfeng's mouth finally showed a trace of pride.

The next instant!

Yao Xue groaned.

One saw Li Rui slap her right shoulder fiercely with one palm, and her whole body flew backward and fell onto the withered leaves, blood overflowing from the corner of her mouth.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!"

The smile on the corner of Qu Chengfeng's mouth froze; this scene happened too suddenly; let alone him, even Tan Hu and Ge Hong were caught off guard.

Clearly, they were still laughing and talking a moment ago, and revealing their family background.

The next moment, they violently took action.

However, Ge Hong and Tan Hu's reactions were extremely fast, and they immediately pulled out their weapons and controlled Yao Xue.

At the same time, Qu Chengfeng was also surrounded more tightly.

Li Rui sneered and walked to Yao Xue, looking down at the pitiful woman, without any pity at all.

"Speak, who exactly are you?"

"There is a list of the Sky Fire Sect in the Anning Guard, and there are no names of you two at all; don't tell me you just joined the Sky Fire Sect."

"If the Sky Fire Sect accepted a Seventh-Rank elder without reporting it to the Anning Guard, I think the Sky Fire Sect doesn't need to exist."

Yao Xue raised her head fiercely.

Looking at Li Rui in disbelief.

She didn't expect that this old man before her was actually so powerful that he could know the news of everyone in a sect she casually mentioned.

A trace of bitterness at the corner of her mouth.

She sighed lightly, and finally could only helplessly say: "Several lords, it's not that the little girl intended to hide it, but that the little girl has difficulties."

"Difficulties?"

"That's fine, since there are difficulties, then take it back and tell the General."

"This old man doesn't like to force people."

Hearing this, Yao Xue also understood that if she didn't tell her true identity today, she wouldn't be able to get away.

If she went to the Anning Guard, things would be even more troublesome.

Finally, she sighed lightly: "My lord, please let others avoid it; the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Li Rui pondered and waved his hand at Tan Hu and the others: "Little Brother Tan, Little Brother Ge, trouble you to let this old man handle it alone."

"Old Brother Li, this"

Ge Hong was just about to speak, but finally chose to retreat under Li Rui's firm look.

Until Ge Hong, Wei Ming, and others retreated more than ten zhang away.

Yao Xue then brought her lips to Li Rui's ear, her breath like orchids:

"I am a disciple of the Ask Zui Xian Lou."

Ask Zui Xian Lou!

Instantly.

Lines of small characters appeared before Li Rui's eyes.
