Knife splashing

Chapter 11 Death Fight
This... is a damn good way to call up his subordinates!
The sudden change caught Li Yan off guard.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Although I don’t know how this Leng Tan Cang Bing did it, the current situation has undoubtedly changed from a one-on-one fight to a group fight.

It seems that I just over-provoked...

Li Yan didn't have time to regret and just stood up and drew his sword.

Clang!
He held the knife in his right hand with the tip of the knife pointed upwards, squatted in a half-step, and held the handle of the knife in his left hand, horizontally in front of his waist, and slowly backed away.

This is called the knife-pressing posture.

It can be used for attack or defense. The tip of the knife is slanted upward, so it can stab the approaching beast at the first moment. The scabbard can also be used as a blunt weapon for striking or defense.

Retreating to the incense burner in the land temple, he stopped, quickly squatted down, picked up the offered knife tassel, and put it into his chest.

The wolves are scary, but the bigger threat is the cold and rampant soldiers.

This Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Knife Spike is the key to victory.

Of course, it cannot be used rashly now.

Without any pause, the wolves immediately launched an attack.

Roar--!
The three wolves in front suddenly jumped out.

They bared their ferocious fangs. Two of them came from the ground with great momentum, aiming at Li Yan's lower abdomen, as if they wanted to rip him open.

The remaining one suddenly jumped up, bared its fangs, and bit Li Yan's neck.

This is an extremely ferocious joint attack technique of the wolves.

Even if an ordinary prey managed to avoid the neck, it would still be knocked down, and the remaining two wolves would be able to tear open its belly.

However, Li Yan was well prepared.

He took a half-step forward, and before his right foot touched the ground, the knife flashed.

It gives people the illusion that the knife is faster than the person.

This is the mystery of Guanzhong's sharp knife.

When ordinary people use a knife, they keep their feet on the ground, generate their strength from the ground, and gather the strength of their waist and arms. Whether they are chopping or sweeping, their force is as powerful as a thousand pounds.

However, Guanzhong's quick knife was already delivered before his feet even touched the ground.

Strong arm and wrist strength, plus a sharp knife, are enough to make up for the lack of power.

No matter how powerful the knife is, what’s the use if someone cuts your throat first?
The Guanzhong swordsman gained such a great reputation thanks to his unique skills.

Those who are good at using this sword technique can do so quickly that others have no time to react.

The same was true of the vicious wolf that pounced on them.

He was in mid-air, the blade had already entered his throat and pierced his skull.

Its momentum did not slow down, and coupled with the sharpness of Guanshan's knife, half of its head was cut off, and blood splattered everywhere.

At the same time, two vicious wolves on the ground also attacked.

Li Yan took advantage of the situation to retreat, held the scabbard with his left hand and thrust it into the wolf's throat on the left, causing it to howl in pain. He then shook his right hand, holding the knife and swept it downwards.

puff!

The wolf attacking from the right had one of its front legs cut off and immediately lost its balance.

Li Yan took another false step forward and kicked the wolf with a horse-blocking kick, sweeping it seven or eight meters away. The wolf rolled on the ground for several times, raising dust.

One of his legs was broken and he was kicked in the waist. He sobbed, struggled, and vomited blood, and gradually became motionless.

At this time, Li Yan made a knife flower and stabbed downwards.

The wolf on the left had the scabbard stuck in its throat and was biting it madly, but this time, the scabbard went straight into the back of its neck, pinning it to the ground and making it motionless.

puff!
The wolf's blood spurted out and splashed all over Li Yan's face.

His expression remained unchanged, and his cold eyes were always fixed ahead.

Wolves also have their own tactics when attacking. They don't rush in all at once, but look for weaknesses and attack in batches.

Even if they fail, they will find a way to injure their prey.

No matter how big the beast is, it will quickly collapse both physically and mentally under these waves of attacks.

The advantage of doing this is that it can minimize losses.

After all, being injured in the wild often means death.

The wolves' tactics did not change, but they obviously did not expect that Li Yan's knife skills were so sharp that he killed three wolves in a breath.

Subsequent attacks were broken up.

Feeling the murderous intent surging from Li Yan, the remaining wolves whimpered and circled around. Although they did not leave, they did not dare to move forward rashly.

Li Yan's attention was all on the leader wolf.

He could smell the familiar fishy odor on the other person.

Compared to last night, it is obviously much weaker.

Widow Wang is right.

This Lengtan Cangbing had been injured several times in succession, and even though he had devoured all the wandering ghosts within a ten-mile radius, he had already reached his weakest state.

At this time, the evil wolf that it possessed was just wandering outside the incense range of the land temple and had no intention of entering.

It seemed that he wanted the wolves to drag him out.

Li Yan's face was stern, and he stood there holding the knife without moving.

He wanted to eliminate this evil, as the other party also coveted his soul and body.

At this moment, it depends on who loses patience first.

Roar!
Perhaps because it was afraid that the cock would crow and the Yang energy would rise again, the wolf possessed by the rampant soldier suddenly let out a roar.

A fishy smell spread all over its body, and several wolves were immediately frightened to pee their pants.

Under their pressure, they all rushed to the land temple.

"kill!"

Li Yan roared, leaned his back against the land temple, slashed left and right with his Guanshan sword, and kicked upside down, kicking the wolf that was rushing towards him away.

A cold light exploded, killing the two wolves instantly.

But his weakness of lack of experience has already become apparent.

With so many wolves attacking at the same time, it was impossible to keep up. After one round of attack, their moves became outdated and they were left with gaps, and they immediately fell into a disadvantage.

Even his right hand holding the knife was bitten tightly by a wolf.

The rest bared their fangs and bit.

Even if he was kicked away by Li Yan, he would still turn around and attack.

Ouch!

In the distance, there was another wolf howl.

It was the evil wolf possessed by the arrogant soldier, who was afraid that the wolves would bite Li Yan's body, so he roared and gave orders. Sure enough, the wolves stopped being cruel and bit his limbs and dragged him out.

Li Yan felt severe pain all over his body and was filled with anger.

He knew that this was a critical moment.

Even if he could break free, he would be exhausted by the siege of the wolves. Even if he relied on the substitute statue to recover and killed the remaining few, he would still be dead in the face of the cold and arrogant soldiers.

The only chance at this moment is to kill the rampant soldier.

Thinking of this, Li Yan endured the severe pain, tightly grasped the Guanshan knife, and let the wolves drag him towards the rampant wolf.

Dust flew everywhere, leaving a trail of blood along the way, which was shocking to see.

Soon, he was dragged to the official road.

This place is out of the coverage of the land temple.

The evil wolf possessed by the arrogant soldier could no longer bear it and pounced directly, stepping on Li Yan's chest with its front paws, baring its ferocious fangs and growling softly.

Li Yan could clearly feel the cold feeling at the back of his heart suddenly surge and spread outwards.

The chill was so severe that it seemed to invade his internal organs. His skin began to feel numb and even his consciousness became a little fuzzy.

And the substitute statue also began to play a role at this moment.

Li Yan's judgment was correct. The curse affected the mind, but if this arrogant soldier wanted to possess the body and take the soul, it would inevitably cause changes to the physical body.

If it is completely occupied, it is very likely that black water will begin to seep out of the internal organs, just as Widow Wang mentioned.

The restoration of the substitute statue allowed Li Yan to regain consciousness.

At this moment, he no longer hesitated. He took out the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Knife Tassel from his arms, pressed it on Guanshan's knife, and stabbed it upwards suddenly!
The arrogant soldier was casting a spell and possessed him, so he had no time to dodge.

There was a "plop" sound, and wolf blood mixed with black water dripped down.

Roar--!
A strange roar came from within the wolf's body.

The sound was a bit like that of a beast, and also a bit like that of a human. It was as if the two sounds overlapped and kept echoing around.

The remaining wolves seemed to be out of control. They trembled all over, excreting and urinating all over. They ran madly into the grass and disappeared.

But at this moment, Li Yan was completely too busy to care about it.

The moment the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin connected with the hilt, a bone-chilling chill spread along the blade and pierced through the wolf above.

It is not just the body that is penetrated.

Li Yan could clearly smell the cold and bloody smell of the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin combined with the blade, which pierced into the stench of the soldiers.

The six yang roots correspond to the six consciousnesses, which are the six supernatural powers.

The magical power he awakened was his sense of smell, which was obviously not as intuitive as his Yin-Yang eyes, but through the smell, he could feel the changes in power of both parties most deeply.

The plaque "Mighty in a Hundred Battles" and the incense in the land temple should be the same kind of similar power, giving people a warm feeling, and its attribute is Yang.

The collision with the powerful force of the rampant soldiers would cancel each other out.

The power of the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin is yin in nature, even colder than that of the rampant soldier, like ice entering water.

Not only did it not weaken, it even absorbed the power of the rampant soldiers.

Roar--!
The strange roar became weaker and weaker.

Finally, after the stench of the rampant soldier completely dissipated, the evil wolf above also stopped moving, leaving only the smell of the wolf's corpse.

Pfft!
Li Yan took advantage of the situation and pushed the wolf's corpse, which immediately rolled to the side.

He gasped for breath and continued to use the substitute idol.

Covered with wounds, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the torn clothes and blood, it would be impossible to tell that he had just experienced a fierce battle.

The substitute statue can replace all bad physical conditions, including the soreness caused by muscle movement.

Therefore, to some extent, it can also restore physical strength.

However, even though his body had recovered, the fatigue after the extreme mental tension could not be eliminated, so Li Yan lay down for a while before slowly getting up.

At this moment, his face froze.

Inside the Dantian, the accumulated injuries of the substitute statue finally reached its limit, and dense cracks appeared, as if it would collapse at any time.

Call ~
A faint fire on the left shoulder of the statue suddenly went out.

As if restarting, the statue recovered instantly without a single scar.

Just like that...a life is lost?

Li Yan was so angry that he couldn't help but spit.

But he also knew that without the substitute statue, he would have been doomed.

The one that Widow Wang worshipped was the legendary spirit who came to power. Even though his condition was a little off, he didn't even dare to show his head. One can imagine how terrifying this arrogant soldier was.

Suddenly, he frowned and felt the Guanshan knife in his hand becoming increasingly cold, as if he was holding an icicle.

My bones were cold and tingling, and even my skin was beginning to go numb.

Li Yan quickly dropped the knife tassel in his hand.

On the yellow earth, the originally exquisite knife tassels and rope knots, including the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coins, were all stained with wolf blood and exuded a bloody smell.

By absorbing some of the power of the rampant soldiers, this treasure can be strengthened!

This is not a good thing.

This means that it will become increasingly difficult for him to use this treasure in the future.

It seems we need to find a way to solve it.

In other words, learn from a master and step into that mysterious world!
Thinking of this, Li Yan cleaned up the traces on the ground, carefully put the Demon-Slaying Knife Tassel into the red cloth bag, and disappeared in the cover of night.

Soon, he arrived outside Widow Wang's door.

Before he got close, his expression changed.

The fishy smell mixed with incense has disappeared.

Sure enough, after pushing the door and entering the courtyard, there was no one inside.

Altar, tablet, red rope, incense burner…

All traces of the existence of Widow Wang and the spirit medium had been cleaned up, and the house looked no different from an ordinary one.

Li Yan's heart moved and he looked around.

Sure enough, the strange formation formed by those jars was also broken up at will, and all kinds of filthy water flowed all over the ground.

At this moment, Li Yan was completely sure.

Widow Wang and the others are hiding from something...
