Chapter 31
Burial Immortal Town once had a permanent population of ten thousand, with thousands of houses arranged, which was quite large. Because it was too close to the Dead Spirit Fog Domain, it was often harassed by strange things, and later gradually became an abandoned market town where no one lived.
Most of the houses were dilapidated, with broken doors and missing tiles, and the earthen walls would collapse if pushed.
Only during the coffin-salvaging season would the various Jiuli tribes repair dozens of houses at the entrance of the town to be used for resupply and rest.
But inside the town, they absolutely dared not step foot.
Because they had heard a rumor that this was a cursed market town. The residents of the town didn't move away, but all transformed into dead spirits, and they would all emerge every full moon night.
At noon, the sun was scorching.
The Nether Lamp Guiding Envoy "Li Ling," the Cangli First Head "Li Songlin," and the patriarch's grandson "Cangli," led the coffin-carrying team, ascended the Dragon-Killing Mouth slope path, and arrived one after another at Burial Immortal Town a few miles away.
Cangli was eighteen or nineteen years old, handsome and extraordinary, riding a Zouwu exotic beast that looked like a giant tiger, holding a zhang-long silver spear, looking at the quiet and peaceful Burial Immortal Town in the distance.
"How can it be so quiet, where are our people? Fourth Uncle, it's not quite right." His perception was keen, and he noticed the abnormality.
Li Songlin stood on the back of the green ox, raised his hand to signal, and let everyone stop.
After discussing for a moment.
Cangli rode the Zouwu exotic beast, rushing out like an arrow, heading to Burial Immortal Town to scout.
"Too damn alert! It's all your fault, why did you kill everyone, why didn't you leave a few to put on a show?"
Shi Jiuzhai put on the Buddha-head mask and scolded his three major disciples behind him, then roared "Do it" like thunder. He had already leaped out of Burial Immortal Town one step ahead, meeting Cangli who was riding the beast.
The next instant, the sound of killing shook the sky in Burial Immortal Town.
All the soldiers of the Earth Wolf King Army wearing monk's robes, holding various weapons, rushed out from the street corners and alleys. Many good hands opened up magic power spring eyes, moved extremely fast, rushed into the coffin-carrying team, and immediately swung their knives to slaughter in all directions.
The Buddha-head masked guest stood gracefully on the top of the town entrance archway, playing a two-zhang-long bone flute.
The flute sound was muffled, like resentment, like longing, like weeping, like complaining.
Under the blessing of magic power, the sound waves spread over a radius of ten or twenty miles.
Between the mountains, dense and unpleasant strange calls like night owls sounded, and man-eating twilight bats two or three meters long flew out of the forest.
They were pitch-black and hairless, with ferocious human-like heads.
The meat wings were wide, and the claws were as sharp as knives.
It was already killing in the dark over there, Li Youyi and Gao Huan took the opportunity to rush out of Burial Immortal Town, fleeing in the reed grass on the river beach of the Sui River.
They should have returned to the blood sea, to the bronze ship. But that direction was the battlefield of both sides, so they could only wait for them to finish killing and resting before turning back.
"I will never pick up clothes to wear randomly again, almost causing a fatal disaster," Gao Huan said with lingering fear.
Speaking of clothes, the two were about to take off the monk's robes on their bodies.
Suddenly heard the sound of hooves behind them, startling countless water birds, and falling to the opposite bank of the Sui River.
A sound of shouting came from far behind: "Stop them, don't let them escape to bring reinforcements."
Li Youyi looked back in a hurry.
Only to see two deformed monsters nearly three meters tall, wearing brown monk's robes, chasing and killing five Cangli tribe clansmen riding strong horses. They were only a few dozen zhang away from him and Gao Huan, and could run to them in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, they had mistaken them for their own people again.
Li Youyi hated the cruelty of the Earth Wolf King Army, but had never thought of getting involved in this slaughter. Because he didn't have the strength to get involved at all; existence like Shi Jiuzhai didn't even need to raise his hand to kill him.
Reason told him not to care about anything.
Escaping with Gao Huan at the fastest speed was the most correct thing.
The five people of the Cangli tribe, Zhao Zhizhuo, saw the two monk-robed figures ahead, their hearts sank to the bottom of the valley, full of despair.
It was the First Head who fought until he was injured to kill a gap, allowing them to go to the nearest Beast Li tribe among the Nine Li to seek help. What they carried on their backs was the lives of five thousand Cangli clansmen.
Unexpectedly, the two monk-robed figures ahead stopped, looked at them, and then fled at a faster speed.
Zhao Zhizhuo's eyes instantly rekindled with the fire of hope.
"Whoosh!"
The sound of breaking wind sounded behind him.
Arrows flew past, and one of the five Cangli tribe people was shot and killed.
It was the deformed monster with ape-like arms, who ran rapidly, holding a two-hundred-jin spine bow, the arrow nearly two meters long, one arrow for one, shooting three people in succession.
Another deformed monster was like a chopstick.
The length of his legs was more than twice that of his upper body, his legs were covered with dense hair, his feet were hoofed, and his running speed was faster than the strong horse Zhao Zhizhuo was riding, which had drunk the blood of a Zouwu exotic beast.
Catching up to the fourth Cangli clansman, he jumped onto the strong horse, bit his neck, and sucked blood crazily, laughing strangely in his mouth.
In an instant, of the five who broke out, only Zhao Zhizhuo was left alive.
The long-legged deformed monster threw the Cangli clansman who was full of blood on his neck, then chased after Zhao Zhizhuo, stared at Li Youyi and Gao Huan further away, full of evil spirit, and shouted coldly: "How dare you escape before the battle, you have great guts. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely catch you back and make you unable to seek death or live."
Li Youyi, who originally didn't want to get involved in this slaughter, heard this, just like the last straw falling, making the thought lingering in his mind overcome reason.
Zhao Zhizhuo had opened two spring eyes, and his strength was not weak, but he was old.
He held a long knife and fought with the long-legged deformed monster that caught up for dozens of moves, then gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Puff!"
A nearly two-meter-long iron arrow flew over like a spear.
Zhao Zhizhuo listened to the sound to identify the position, avoided the vital parts, but was still shot in the shoulder, falling from the back of the strong horse.
Finished!
The five thousand Cangli tribe clansmen would all die here.
Zhao Zhizhuo's shoulder shot by the iron arrow flowed with blood, the bones were damaged, and his arm could no longer be raised, and half of his body was numb with pain. But he still stood up with difficulty, preparing for the final desperate fight.
"Can't escape, right? Haha!"
The long-legged deformed monster was also a Dharma-Martial cultivator who opened two springs, but with the blessing of deformity, his combat power was a large margin better than Zhao Zhizhuo's.
His right leg, nearly two meters long, swept across the air, the air vibrated, and the grass and trees within a few zhang swayed endlessly. This leg, let alone a person, even a tree as thick as a bowl would break.
"Whoosh!"
Li Youyi was like a residual shadow, leaping out from behind Zhao Zhizhuo.
The Yellow Dragon Sword dragged a yellow light trace.
With a puff, it cut.
A half-meter-long broken leg flew out in the blood light.
Before the long-legged deformed monster could scream, Li Youyi had already leaped up, topped his chest with a knee, and slapped his head with a palm. Immediately, the monster bled from seven orifices and died in the mud pit of the water puddle.
Zhao Zhizhuo was unbelievable, thinking that heaven would destroy Cangli, never expecting that the enemy would have internal strife.
"Hurry up and bring reinforcements, I'll block that person."
Li Youyi stared at the ape-like deformed monster chasing with a bow in the distance, urging him.
Zhao Zhizhuo realized that this was not internal strife among the enemies. Instead, this young man was risking his life to save him, and also wanted to save the five thousand clansmen of the Cangli tribe.
Why?
"That ape-like deformed human species is a Dharma-Martial cultivator who opened three springs. Little brother, must be careful!"
Zhao Zhizhuo knew the urgency, gave such a warning, and supported his seriously injured body to mount the horse. But just as he got on, he was pounced down by Li Youyi.
"Whoosh!"
An iron arrow whistled past the back of the horse, almost piercing through him.
The ape-like deformed human species nocked an arrow on the bowstring, bent over and moved, approaching rapidly.
He had a tall and sturdy body, with long and muscular arms, just like a giant human-like ape, his eyes locked on the dense reed grass where the two fell.
Getting closer and closer.
A sharp sound of breaking wind sounded.
A piece of metal flew out from the reed grass.
"Whoosh!"
While the ape-like deformed human species shot an arrow at the area where the metal piece flew out, his body dodged to the right nimbly.
Taking advantage of the fact that the ape-like deformed human species didn't have time to bend the bow and nock the arrow again, Li Youyi rushed out of the reed grass, performed the Yellow Dragon Ascending to Heaven, stepped on the void for five steps, and swooped down toward him.
"You traitor, go die!"
The ape-like deformed human species' palm, as big as a fan, slapped over.
Li Youyi formed a Heaven-Turning Palm Seal, and mobilized the cold and hot airflows in his body to pour into the silver-thread gloves, the silver light in his palm rose, like a three-foot-square seal, and clashed with him head-on.
Before the collision, Li Youyi had prepared to be injured.
After all, the other party was a three-spring Dharma-Martial cultivator, and his realm was above his. And like a demon, his body was huge, and his physical strength was naturally not something he could compare with.
"Bang!"
The ape-like deformed human species retreated six or seven steps, his palm feeling like it was going to break.
Li Youyi was surprised, feeling that the old man of the Cangli tribe had misjudged, and this ape-like monster could absolutely not have opened three springs, mostly only opened one.
So weak, then what is there to be afraid of?
Kill!
