Knife splashing

Chapter 37: Fighting the Evil Beggar in the Dense Forest

There were screams and dog barking, and the place suddenly became a mess.

The beggar's lantern also fell to the ground, igniting some dry grass. The flames and thick smoke spread, making the wild dogs even more crazy.

The remaining beggars immediately scattered.

"It's time to explode, be careful of the dark blue one!"

"The willow twig called out and became his fairy!"

"Don't disturb the breeze!"

They spoke in code while dodging wild dogs.

Although each place and each gang has its own unique features, the entire underworld has a set of common rhetoric, and you can tell the difference after hearing it many times.

Translated, it means "You've been discovered, be careful of hidden weapons", "Release the snake and kill him", "Don't alarm the ghost".

These words were just to fool laymen, so Li Yan could naturally understand them.

The beggar was an expert in playing with snakes. Since he had a secret method to drive the wild dogs, it was normal for him to release the snakes to attack him.

But “Don’t alarm the ghost” made Li Yan’s heart sink.

This is most likely a trick played by the beggars.

Asking for troublesome things from the gods will lead to unpredictable consequences.

Thinking of this, he no longer hid his body. He jumped off the hillside and rushed down the mountain.

Woof! Woof woof!

The already agitated pack of wild dogs immediately noticed him.

These things had already become extremely ferocious. Some of them chased the beggars, but more of them opened their fangs and sharp mouths and pounced on him.

Not only that, the beggars also took off their cloth bags, unbuttoned them and threw them suddenly. Suddenly, more than a dozen black snakes flew out, swam rapidly on the ground, and rushed towards Li Yan.

Clang!
Li Yan remained calm and drew his Guanshan knife suddenly.

With a concentrated thought, the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin Dao Sui suddenly swayed left and right.

After entering the mysterious gate, he succeeded in concentrating the spirit in the sea of ​​consciousness. Although the tower has not been built yet and the god he visualized is just a vague ball of light, he can already use this magic weapon.

Guided by divine thoughts, the murderous aura on the tassel of the knife immediately spread.

The whole knife is like ice, emitting a cold aura.

According to Wang Daoxuan, the combination of the Three Elements Demon-Suppressing Coins and the plaque bestowed by the court formed a small winning scheme that was secretly vicious but able to circulate on its own.

If you take out the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin alone, it will form a "momentum".

Although this "force" is evil, it is strong and fierce, and is most suitable for suppressing evil.

Although those wild dogs are just mortals, they have been eating dead human flesh for years, so they are inevitably contaminated with evil energy and are very sensitive.

"Woo~"

The moment Li Yan drew his sword, the fur of these wild dogs stood up, as if they had met their nemesis, and they turned around and fled in all directions.

The black poisonous snakes also escaped.

These creatures were even more vicious. They returned directly the same way they came. Some of them crawled back into the cloth bags, while others suddenly jumped up and attacked the beggars.

Obviously, this venomous snake has also lost control.

The beggars were shocked. Although they were caught off guard, they were experts in snake handling after all. Listening to the sound of the wind, they made their right hands into claws, grabbed the poisonous snake by the seven inches in mid-air, and put it into their pockets.

But in this brief moment, Li Yan had already approached.

puff!

Before a beggar could react, his neck was cut. Blood spurted out and he fell to the ground. He could only cover his neck, making a "ho ho" sound, and soon stopped moving.

An old beggar next to him, who obviously had much more experience in fighting, leaped back and chopped down with the dog-beating stick in his hand.

This move is called hitting the dog's head with a stick.

When the beggar encountered a vicious dog, he jumped back to create distance between himself and the dog at the moment it pounced on him, while at the same time he swung his stick vertically to hit the dog's vital points.

When used against people, you don't have to just hit the head.

The stick is a long weapon. Just hitting the enemy's wrist can break the bones and make the opponent drop the weapon. Then step forward and hit the Adam's apple diagonally.

If the opponent dodges, you can take the opportunity to create distance.

The old beggar had a good idea, but Li Yan was obviously faster. While killing the beggar, he rolled sideways and avoided the stick.

The old beggar put away his stick, twisted his body, and prepared to launch a sweeping attack.

However, as Li Yan rolled to his feet, he had already grabbed a bunch of gravel and sand in his hand and threw it out with a flip of his wrist.

The old beggar was splashed all over his face.

He panicked and was about to step back, but he felt a chill on his neck. His vision rolled around and he saw that the person's head was chopped off by Li Yan.

This was a fight of life and death, and Li Yan's sharp knife was merciless.

"The idea is strong, but the wind is blowing hard!"

Seeing Li Yan being so ferocious, the remaining beggars turned around and ran away.

The beggars' gangs in the world have always had a large number of people and a mixed bag of good and bad people.

Although they are martial artists from a beggar's den, they only bully ordinary people. When they meet fellow martial artists, they will rely on their numbers and use their skills of driving dogs and playing with snakes to catch the opponent off guard.

But when he met a ruthless man like Li Yan, his tricks of driving away dogs and playing with snakes were also broken, and he could only flee in embarrassment. Li Yan snorted coldly and followed closely behind.

He is in danger now, so he can't do things in a muddle-headed way.

We must find out why these beggars are making trouble.

Several beggars in front fled in all directions. Although they had lost their lanterns, they were familiar with the terrain and tried to hide in areas with dense trees.

Although Li Yan could smell the location of everyone with the help of his sense of smell, these guys were slippery and some of them even went straight into the grave and disappeared.

There is a secret passage under the mass grave!
Li Yan secretly thought that something was not good. He bent down while running, picked up a stone, shook his wrist and threw it out.

"Ouch!"

A beggar was hit on the back of his head, his feet slipped, and he hit his head against a tree. His head suddenly started buzzing and his eyes went black.

Clang!
Just as he was about to stand up, he felt a chill on his neck and found that Guanshan was holding his knife.

"Who sent you? Why did you attack us?"

Li Yan didn't waste any words and asked directly in a cold voice.

Unexpectedly, the beggar had no fear in his eyes even though the knife was at stake. Instead, he smiled, revealing a mouth full of rotten teeth, and whistled with his lips pouted.

"court death!"

Li Yan's eyebrows stood up, and with a flick of his wrist, he directly cut the other person's throat.

Whistling in the middle of the night is a big taboo.

Especially in this mass grave where evil spirits gather.

Wang Daoxuan once told him this.

In the ancient times, writing had not yet been invented and people still used knotted ropes to record events. When they went out hunting, they relied on various gestures and whistles.

These are the origins of various hand gestures and spells.

Similarly, there are white and red.

White symbolizes severe cold and red symbolizes blood.

These things are deeply engraved in the soul and blood, passed down from generation to generation. Even today, many spells are related to them.

For example, some magicians and folk witches still use whistles when using techniques such as summoning spirits and frightening ghosts.

This beggar obviously wanted to drag him into the water.

However, it was already too late.

At the same time as the beggar's throat was cut, a strong cold wind suddenly blew around, and in the cold and wet fog, there seemed to be shouts of killing.

At the same time, Li Yan smelled a cold smell of blood.

It was slightly weaker than the previous Lengtanchangbing and did not have the smell of a wild beast, but it was full of murderous intent, like a rusty sword.

Soldier soul!

Li Yan's eyelids twitched, and he quickly stepped back, putting away his knife.

Wang Daoxuan told him about this Yin object.

There is never a lack of wars in this vast land of China.

From the ancient tribal wars, the struggle between Shang and Zhou, to every change of dynasties, countless people have died in wars, and the evil energy gathers. Coupled with the sins of killing and the lingering souls of heaven, soldier spirits will appear.

In some places, they even gather in large numbers and become passing ghost soldiers.

These things roam the land and are also a source of recruiting soldiers.

The characteristic of a soldier's soul is that it cannot stand the presence of weapons. Once it senses it, it will pounce like a wild dog, entangled by the memories of its previous life.

There was once a town where ghost soldiers appeared passing through, shouting and killing every day. A charlatan came up with a random idea and asked the people to wave kitchen knives and hit each other with the blades, hoping to scare the ghost soldiers away in this way.

Needless to say, no one in the town survived.

Although Li Yan had the Three Talents Demon-Suppressing Coin, he had fought with the rampant soldiers before and knew that this thing could not be viewed with common sense.

Hide if you can, to avoid putting out another life-threatening situation.

Call ~
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a cold, bloody smell was coming out of the grave, floating in the air and even entering the beggar's body.

Gala!

With the bones twisting abnormally, the beggar's body stood up straight.

Li Yan held his breath and concentrated his energy, then slowly retreated.

He originally wanted to stay away from this thing, but unexpectedly, the corpse actually walked towards him crookedly, and the cold blood aura on its body became stronger and stronger.

Li Yan immediately stopped, a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and pressed the hilt of the knife.

It seems like this thing can't be gotten rid of.

But this soldier's soul also made a mistake. Its yearning for a physical body caused it to possess a dead body.

The physical body is a boat, but it is also a cage.

If he simply destroyed the physical body, the opponent would leave directly and continue to look for the next physical body, but he had the Three Talents Demon Suppression Coin, so as long as he found the right opportunity, he could kill it.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as he was about to take action, there was a sudden noise behind him...
