Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 53 The King of Yue
The three prefectures of Chengyin, Dongning and Boqing are adjacent to each other, and there is one guard in total, that is, [-] soldiers. However, it will take some time for this force to be fully mobilized to reach the place where King Yue disappeared.

Now beside the river valley, there are only more than [-] people under General Yu's command and more than [-] mages and warlocks.

Because the final result of the spell tracing is five areas.

Therefore, after Taoist Zhiyuan and the others mapped out the direction and route, in order to prevent those evil people from finding the King of Yue first, this group of people had to be divided into five teams and marched at the same time.

Guan Luoyang naturally moved with the people from Zhenwu Temple, accompanied by a hundred households and more than a hundred soldiers. Qiushi was in charge of the road map, and used magic to observe the direction and estimate the distance so as not to get lost in the jungle.

A team of more than 100 people is a lot to say, if it is placed in a town, it will definitely be very eye-catching, but in this wild jungle, the deeper you go, the more you can feel the insignificance of people.

Towering ancient trees far and near, with luxuriant branches and leaves, the leaves of the crowns above touch each other, blocking out a lot of sunlight, leaving only fine spots of light, while the trunks below are far apart from each other. In the meantime, looking up, every tree is like a very tall tower.

Looking around, countless green plants have isolated the hustle and bustle of the world, only the sound of insects and birds, and the sound of people trampling dead leaves and cutting off branches.

Those low trees and shrubs, thick and old vines, sometimes completely block the road ahead, and some people in the front of the team have to open the way with a knife all the time.

During this process, we can also see the skills of some people. When most soldiers swing their knives, the blades are easily stuck between the wood grains. They need to be pulled out and hacked several times before they can cut off a small tree.

And that Baihu used a thick-backed steel knife, the kind of small tree with thick human legs, which could be cut off with one knife, and the blade became brighter as it was sharpened, without any sign of a gap in the curling blade.

If the factor of magic is excluded, the martial arts of most of the disciples of the autumn generation in Zhenwu Temple are on par with this Baihu.

The general once mentioned that the group under his command is a group of death-defying fighters who are not afraid of serious injuries. Their courage and quality are much higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and they can be entrusted with important tasks.

Guan Luoyang walked in the front and did not draw his sword. He just lifted his foot and kicked some short and big leafy shrubs that were particularly in the way. Sometimes the sound of kicking a tree was like a muffled thunder, which made the insects around him quiet.

But his mind is calm, he is not disturbed by these nearby noises, his ears are always discerning, and he listens to the movement farther away.

Qiu Shi counted with one hand, and said: "We are almost there, ahead, one hundred feet to the left, one hundred feet to the right, and two hundred feet forward, the King of Yue is likely to be in this area."

Suddenly, Guan Luoyang turned around and pulled out a small soldier's waist knife, and threw it out. At the left rear of the team, a gray wolf figure, just jumped up, was pierced through the chest and abdomen by the steel knife, and fell to the side with a wail.

Although the few soldiers nearby were not flustered in shock, while dodging sideways, several waist knives had already chopped down together, completely killing the wolf's life.

These soldiers looked at Guan Luoyang gratefully, but Guan Luoyang said solemnly: "Be careful, there are many beasts approaching."

Qiu Shi asked, "How much?"

"It's hard to say, at least twenty or thirty."

Guan Luoyang listened carefully, his eyes moved, "They didn't come for us, they all went forward."

Most of the beasts in the forest are nocturnal, and they move to a certain place in groups in broad daylight. There is only one possibility for this abnormal behavior, which is that the monsters are calling them on purpose.

Several Taoist priests and Baihu looked at each other, and they all saw the speculation in their hearts.

The possibility of the monster and the king of Yue in the front area is extremely high, not just one in five.

"Be careful, I'll go take a look first."

Guan Luoyang put the sheathed long knife diagonally behind his belt, took a few steps to run up, and swished up a big tree, grabbed the thicker branch in the canopy, and swung onto another big tree.

Those soldiers looked forward, only to see clattering leaves, falling from a height one after another, as if spilling a road.

Guan Luoyang's eyesight was precise, and he could find a branch that could bear his own weight at a glance, step on or grab it, and quickly walk through the branches and leaves, swinging and swinging, and went to the distance, his movements were more flexible than that of an ape.

Whoa! ! ! !

The large green leaves trembled and spread out, revealing Guan Luoyang's figure. He bent a branch under his feet, supported the trunk with his palm, and looked down at the corpses of the wolves.

These corpses almost formed an irregular circle, and splashed blood was scattered in all directions, making one immediately think of a scene where a pack of wolves pounced, and then was killed by a ring-shaped knife shadow in one go.

The traces of the battle started here, and it was already very obvious. The trajectory of the monster's activities reappeared, the dead leaves on the ground were pressed down, and the long ditch where the bushes fell extended out.

Many large trees with luxuriant branches and leaves were originally densely covered with crowns, like a low and gloomy cloud.

But Guan Luoyang at this time, looking with all his eyes, it seems that a long sparse road has been squeezed out between the "gloomy clouds", and a lot of sunlight is able to shine directly down.

That's because the trunks of many big trees were tilted by a huge force, and the crowns of the trees were slanted to the two sides, so this strange scene appeared.

Wild wolves, monkeys, poisonous snakes and even tigers in the jungle gathered from all directions and rushed along this track. The scattered leaves and dust were especially clear under the sunlight.

At the forefront of these wild beasts, the corpses of humans and beasts were constantly being discarded, and there were very few people, reduced to the end, and only two were left alive and able to fight.

The plants in this place can be said to have been greatly devastated.

Within a radius of fifty paces, the tall trees had all been broken off, leaving stumps that were uneven, high or low.

Some of the shorter shrubs were uprooted, and some seemed to be crushed. The dead leaves on the ground rolled out the deepest moist soil.

The sun shines here, and the smell of blood, soil, and fresh plants wraps every active figure.

One person wears a rich and purple robe, a golden hair crown, and a jade belt around his waist. His temples are gray and his beard is completely black. When he swings his sword, he looks majestic and majestic like a dragon.

He can stab monkeys when he gets on tree stumps, and he will go away as soon as the sword light hits. kill them all.

But the clothes on this person's body were already damaged a lot, and the hair on his forehead was also messy. Especially on the right side of the waist, there was a scratched scar, and blood dripped from time to time, making him look embarrassed.

On the other side, large wild animals such as wild wolves and even tigers and leopards were all hacked and killed by a Taoist with a Daguan knife.

After the blade was pulled out from the flank of a tiger, the Taoist walked around with the knife in his hand, moving the knife like a large brush, splashing blood on the ground, carving out runes connected end to end.

As soon as the circle was drawn, some poisonous snakes and wild wolves around were frightened, and hurriedly turned to avoid it, hesitated.

The Daguan knife was thrown on the ground, and the Taoist raised his head, with thick eyebrows and a square face, it was Jiuying.

King Yue fell into this circle and took a breath: "How long can you rest this time?"

"22 wild wolves plus the blood essence of a fierce tiger, facing the coercion of the hidden monster, it is still useless after all, half an hour at most."

Jiuying was panting very low, and her eyelids were slightly pressed, as if she was so tired that she couldn't even breathe so forcefully, "The jungle is vast, and there are many beasts and poisonous snakes. As long as the monster is alive, it can summon it wherever it goes. The nearby wild beasts besieged and killed us, but if we killed it, these wild beasts, which were enough to be horrified, would be shattered and scattered."

"But that monster is very cunning and has been hidden. It only drives these things to consume our physical strength..."

Yue Wang said, and suddenly laughed at himself, "Haha, I have planned for a long time. This time, I want to stabilize the south in one fell swoop and eradicate this last nest of rats. Who would have thought that it would be forced to this point by a snake, and the Diwei army was also damaged. so many."

There seemed to be a bit of depression in his words, but he didn't need to be persuaded at all. After a smile, he restrained his expression and said calmly, "But animals are animals after all. I can see that this monster is certainly psychic. After all, it is wild and untamed. If I get some more injuries and make a weak enough state, it will definitely be unable to hold back and take the initiative to attack."

"How about this, I will relax a little later, let a few monkeys scratch, and then let the wolf bite the limbs, you recharge your energy and wait for the opportunity, once the evildoer appears, make a decisive blow."

Jiuying disagreed, and said: "It's too dangerous to be bitten actively. People who practice Taoism keep their nature true. How can they aggravate the danger by themselves? Even if they have no choice but to choose this strategy, it should be used by the poor."

"After you were picked up by me, you were in a coma until two days ago, and you fought all the way. Can you really control the proportion of being bitten?"

The King of Yue shook his head and said, "Besides, you are good at heavy swordsmanship, but my sword moves lightly. It takes a split second to injure or even kill the monster. Obviously, it is reasonable for you to execute it."

Jiuying said: "But you are more important, the Cochin situation..."

King Yue's long sword shook, and the fine iron trembled, and he said decisively: "Brother, don't look forward and backward when you do big things, you are too polite, don't you want to keep arguing with me like you did on the mountain again, is it a waste of words? ?”

Jiuying's eyelids moved: "It's up to you."

As soon as these three words were finished, both of them shut up and rested their minds.

Jiuying didn't move with his saber, while King Yue dangled the sword in his hand, looking around, as if picking and choosing, choosing which wolf to bite him.

They all know that in the depths of the jungle farther away, where the sun can't directly shine, the monster is waiting, using the monster's ability to force and urge these beasts.

But unexpectedly, there was a whistle-like sound in the air, and the first thing that hit was a green poisonous fire that exploded out of thin air!
The king of Yue spread his arms sideways, his figure was like a purple cloud, and his wrist was as soft as cotton when he moved the sword.

The invisible and substanceless poisonous fire could not escape the stickiness of his sword, and some clues of Wudang Tai Chi swordsmanship were revealed in it.

One wolf couldn't dodge in time, its tail was rubbed by the poisonous fire, and the fire spread immediately, burning all over its body, and in a panic, it slammed its head against a tree stump to death amidst howling.

But there is more than one group of poisonous fire. Among the woods on the west side, there are some figures, all of whom are short in stature and well-dressed, holding an iron pipe in their right hand, and taking out whitish balls from the cloth bag at their waist with their left hand, filling them into the end of the pipe.

With a flick of their right arm, the ball rolled in the iron pipe, following the power of the last moment, it flew out from the front end of the iron pipe, turned into a ball of poisonous fire, and fell towards the target.

However, the dozens of poisonous fires that fell in batches were all pulled away by King Yue's long sword and fell towards the surrounding beasts. The Tai Chi sword guarded it tightly.

On the surrounding ground, green flames ignited. Wild wolves, poisonous snakes, and monkeys ran away to escape, and some directly rushed towards the woods on the west side and bit them.

But the iron pipes in the hands of those well-dressed men have sharpened ends, and they are fearless in close combat. Even if wolves and monkeys get close, just one stab can kill them.

In addition to those warlocks with different backgrounds, Hanami has two backgrounds, one is the cloaked men who can dig tunnels with bare hands, and the other is this team of poisonous fire swordsmen.

There are 50 poisonous fire swordsmen here.

While they were dealing with the beasts, they still kept throwing poisonous fire towards the King of Yue, and some people held the end of the iron pipe to their lips and blew a very long and sharp whistle.

King Yue's eyes turned slightly, his thoughts changed, and when he was about to take the initiative to step out of the circle of runes, a shadow suddenly flashed above.

That shadow, like a swallow flying in the sky, fell into the woods on the west side in the blink of an eye, and bumped into the body of a well-dressed man.

Bang! ! !
The well-dressed man hit his back against the tree, a palm-sized mark was sunken on his chest, his eyes protruded, and his head drooped.

The sound of breaking through the sky was heard, and two sharp iron pipes pierced from the left and right of the tree.

Guan Luoyang raised his hands, and he slapped the iron pipe flat, sinking on both sides of the tree. He circled under his feet, grabbed the collar of the man on the left, and smashed it on the man on the right of the tree.

The two fell into a ball, there was a sound of bones breaking, and blood was vomiting from their mouths.

Many poisonous fire swordsmen came over one after another with dead eyes, changing their steps, and stabbing with iron pipes.

Guan Luoyang rushed towards them, turned his head past an iron pipe, and pushed his right hand into the man's abdomen, like a battering ram, pushing his whole body away, hitting half of his body against a tree, rolling and bouncing off on the ground.

The sound of a person's torso colliding with a tree is a dull sound, similar to a "boom".

And then, the voice continued to ring.

Guan Luoyang strode forward, either straight or obliquely. Among the five grappling hands, the most powerful Arhat grappling hand was spread out. tree dies.

These people are strong and strong, and their sword moves are even more fierce. Many times, the sharp iron pipe seemed to be about to stab Guan Luoyang, but he always let him out of the way by a hair. Once they met each other, they flew out and lost life.

"Good skill!"

King Yue's eyes were full of splendor.

He could clearly see that the man's battle looked thrilling and swift, but in fact his movements were stretched, full of everyone's demeanor, with ease.

That person's battle can reach such a devastating level, not only because of the complete victory of strength and speed, but also because of the control of rhythm and sense of distance.

When everyone thought they could stab that person, they actually stepped on the opponent's trap and ran into a dead end.

Nurturing Qi and concentrating her mind, Jiuying opened her eyelids and said, "It turned out to be him."

call! !

Another swordsman's body was thrown out, and when it was about to hit a tree root, the speed suddenly slowed down.

The swordsman's upright body turned at an angle, his feet didn't touch the ground, he swayed sideways, and threw it back towards Guan Luoyang.

Guan Luoyang swept the man away with a punch, and stared at him.

The poisonous fire swordsmen around took the opportunity to stay away, and only a few people approached.

The old eunuch Chen, who was thrown back to the swordsman just now, stretched and kneaded his five fingers softly, his knuckles turned blue, his nails turned white, his skin had no color, but it was as smooth as jade.

It seems that the pair of palms are formed entirely of hard and even bones, and skin as tough as horns and ivory.

Seeing these hands, Guan Luoyang snorted and murmured, "Bone and skin training?"

Standing behind the old eunuch Chen were five tall, short, fat and thin people with distinctive characteristics. Their solemn eyes did not dare to leave Guan Luoyang, but they smiled at the other person: "His Royal Highness, it has been a long time."
