Knife splashing

Chapter 488 You come and I go
The water surged, stirring up muddy sand.

Li Yan used the Xuanshui escape technique and quickly shuttled through the Tuojiang River.

Boom! Water splashed everywhere.

But it was Li Yan who came to the river and broke out of the water again.

After he landed, all his strength exploded, the soil under his feet exploded, and he flew into the air like a bird flying into the dense forest.

The waning moon in the sky shone on the river, but the dense treetops in the forest blocked the little light, and the forest was pitch black.

Of course, none of these could stop Li Yan.

His ability of smell allowed him to move unhindered even in darkness.

He galloped and leaped on the tree trunks, shuttling back and forth in the forest.

There was a figure vaguely visible ahead, and its speed was equally astonishing.

It is the "ghost face".

Li Yan relies on his strong body and control.

This "Ghost Face" is a master who became famous many years ago. Logically speaking, he is already quite old. Even if he has also reached the level of Hua Jin, his energy and blood have declined, and his stamina is insufficient. He cannot escape Li Yan's pursuit.

But he used a special body technique.

The wide black robe spread out, and he was like a bat at night, leaping and gliding at the same time, his movements were as fast as a ghost, and he was even faster than Li Yan.

Moreover, the two sides always maintained a distance of hundreds of meters.

Li Yan's soul-catching rope couldn't reach it at all.

But if you use Armored Horse, the time you stop casting the spell is enough for the opponent to escape without a trace.

"Ghost Face" is seducing me!

After chasing for a while, Li Yan immediately became alert.

But now that things have come to this, he can't stop.

The other party has obtained his hair and blood, which are the necessary media for casting spells.

There must be some master of spellcasting nearby to provide support.

Once it gets hold of you, you will immediately fall into a passive position.

Thinking of this, Li Yan didn't care about anything else. He directly tore open the oilcloth around his waist and took out the wrapped flintlock rifle.

boom!
When you see that figure again, shoot immediately.

The roar of flames and the dispersal of smoke broke the silence of the night.

Wow!
The birds flew away in fright and the beasts fled.

The dark and quiet forest is actually full of vitality.

The powerful roar echoed through the dense forests and valleys.

The "ghost-faced monster" in front suddenly lost its balance, but when it was about to land, it did a somersault, kicked the tree trunk hard, and flew out again.

Li Yan's shot did not hit him, but only tore his black robe.

Although he missed, the "Ghost Face"'s magic robes were torn into pieces, and he could only rely on his own strength, but he eventually slowed down.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

Swish!
But at this moment, Li Yan suddenly stopped, hooked the tree trunk with his feet, spun in the air, and hid behind the giant tree.

boom! boom!
There were also two sounds of fire in the distance.

It sounded like thunder, and trees as thick as buckets broke instantly.

Li Yanze suddenly rushed out and hid behind a huge rock on the hillside. With a gloomy face, he looked up at the hillside two hundred meters away.

He could smell that there were a dozen people hiding there.

Although they are ordinary people, each of them holds a magic gun.

It’s the King of Shu’s musketeers!
Back then in Longquanyi, Li Yan secretly saw the secret force of the Shu Palace, but he didn't expect to encounter it so soon.

The King of Shu actually sent these people here as well.

He is extremely wealthy, what treasures does he not have?
We attach too much importance to the "Wish-fulfilling Jewel".

Could it be that there is a hidden story behind this?

Although it was strange, Li Yan didn't have time to think about it.

This sudden force interrupted all his plans, and the enemy got the spell medium, so he was already at a disadvantage!

……

Whoosh!
"Ghost Face" jumped up, and after landing, he tore off his tattered black robe and threw out a small cloth bag.

A dry hand held the cloth bag in its hand.

It was none other than Tan Wanpei, the abbot of Pu’an Temple in Shu.

The old Taoist had already set up a temporary altar on the mountain, lit incense and candles, offered the five offerings, and placed a small black coffin in the middle.

Next to the coffin, there was a straw man.

"Daoyou is indeed a good man!"

The old Taoist opened the cloth bag, looked at the hair and the blood-stained white handkerchief inside, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

It's really not easy to get this thing.

Even though Li Yan was a younger generation, he was proficient in both magic and martial arts. No one present dared to say that they could completely suppress him.

Especially since the opponent is good at water escape, he will escape if you are not careful.

There is also the Gangling that they are most afraid of.

Only "Ghost Face", a veteran with rich combat experience, could successfully retrieve the things.

Even though Qin Wanpei was knowledgeable, he couldn't help but praise him.

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome."

The Ghost Face still looked indifferent. "There is no time to lose. Please cast the spell as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected troubles."

After that, he looked aside and said, "Open fire to disturb him. Don't let that kid have the chance to summon ghost soldiers."

Next to them was the Shu Palace's musketeers.

They were not sorcerers, and it was dark at night, so they couldn't see their target.

But behind them stood Jin Cui Lian.

I saw her slender fingers making hand gestures and her eyes sparkling, which were somewhat similar to those of a cat. Even at night, they were flashing with a faint green light.

"there!"

"Fire!"

Following Jin Cui Lian's pointing, the musketeers immediately pulled the trigger.

Boom boom!

There were two more loud bangs, and gravel flew all over the hillside.

The musketeers of the Shu Palace were well-trained and had obviously given some thought to the use of new firearms.

They worked in groups of two and took turns firing.

As Jin Cui Lian's fingers moved, they never stopped.

The new type of gunpowder was extremely powerful. There was a constant roar on the hillside, and dirt and gravel were flying everywhere. It was as if it was covered by artillery fire, and it soon became bumpy.

Jin Cui Lian's heart trembled as she watched.

She knows a lot of unconventional techniques and her kung fu aptitude is average, but she has reached the pinnacle of dark power. In addition, she has a sharp and vicious mind, which is why she has reached this position.

Originally, I didn't think much of this musketeer team, but after seeing their power, I couldn't help but feel fear in my heart.

At least she herself, in this situation, can only wait for death.

Qin Wanpei also had a solemn expression on his face, but he did not forget what he should do. He flew his hands and stuffed the cloth bag into the straw man's belly.

He made a gesture and wrote down Li Yan's name.

Afterwards, he stepped into the battle formation, holding a peach wood sword in his right hand and a soul-calming bell in his left hand, muttering and chanting spells.

Ring ring ring!
The soul-calming bell rang and circled above the straw man.

Three circles to the left, three circles to the right.

The leader of the musketeers did not participate in the attack, and facing Jin Cui Lian's awe-inspiring gaze, he did not feel a bit proud at all.

He knew that the Musketeers still had many weaknesses.

Just like the current situation, without Jin Cui Lian's help and guidance, they would be like blind people, and they might not even know they were being touched by the sorcerer from behind.

No wonder the prince said that muskets could not completely overturn the situation.

With the cooperation of a warlock, it is even more powerful.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Wanpei who was performing a ritual.

Seeing his gaze, the "Ghost Face" whispered, "This is Taoist Priest Qin's unique skill: the Soul-Destroying Curse. It was created by combining the Pu'an Curse with the secret techniques of the witches and shamans of Shu."

"Ringing the bell can capture a person's soul. The ten incense sticks beside the straw man represent the three souls and seven spirits. If the three souls and seven spirits are lost, and then put into the black coffin, the boy's soul can be captured."

"Using firearms to suppress the enemy, even if they only lose one soul, they will not be able to summon ghost soldiers and can only be slaughtered by us."

He spoke in great detail, and it seemed as if the previous unpleasantness had completely disappeared.

Although the leader of the musketeers was a soldier, he was not a fool. Seeing the "Ghostly Face" handing over the ladder, he nodded and said, "The mysterious method is really eye-opening." "I speak frankly. If I have offended you before, I hope you will forgive me."

"There."

The tone of "Ghost Painted Face" also slowed down.

Although he seemed to be trying to please her, there was actually a hint of murderous intent in his eyes...

…………

boom!
Gunshots rang out and gravel flew everywhere.

Li Yan's feet exploded with strength and he lowered his body. At the moment when the boulder he was hiding under was about to shatter, he jumped out and changed direction to hide.

Although he was suppressed, he remained calm and thought of countermeasures while hiding.

The current situation is very unfavorable for him.

Even if he faced those masters at the same time, he would not be so embarrassed.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

These old guys are really experienced.

His combat range is more suitable for close-range attacks. Now that he is suppressed here, although he will not be hit, he has no power to fight back.

How to break the deadlock...

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a sound by his ear.

Ring ring ring!
It seemed as if someone was ringing a bell in my ear.

This ringing sound has a strange power that makes people feel drowsy, their heads heavy, and their chests stuffy and nauseous.

It's a spell!
Li Yan knew that the other party had already started casting a spell.

The "Dragon Snake Card" does have a certain protective effect. It can prevent the opponent from detecting its breath and avoid many spells.

But if someone gets hold of your hair and blood, it is a spell cast based on the medium, and even the “Ruyi Jewel” cannot stop it.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately used the Daluo Dharma Body.

In an instant, all the discomfort disappeared completely.

The spell harms the soul, but the Daluo Dharma body can naturally recover.

But if the root cause is not eliminated, the spell will still work.

Soon, the sound of a bell rang in Li Yan's ears again. His head felt dizzy and he could only use his Daluo Dharma Body to repair himself.

Although the damage was not great and the strength of the Daluo Dharmakaya had already been improved, the continuous repairs finally caused a slight crack to appear on the head of the Daluo Dharmakaya.

If this goes on, sooner or later you will lose your life!

……

On the other side, Qin Wanpei was also sweating profusely.

He made hand gestures, chanted incantations, and rang the bell continuously.

I watched as a stick of incense went out.

But before he could take the next step, the incense that was about to go out began to burn again with smoke rising.

Weird!

Qin Wanpei's eyes almost popped out.

He practiced cultivation for most of his life.
This is the first time I have seen this.

The "Ghost Face" next to him also frowned when he saw it, "Daoyou Qin, can you do it? We don't have much time."

Qin Wanpei also felt ashamed.

He quickly picked up a bowl of water from the altar, drank a few mouthfuls, then held it in his mouth and sprayed it on the altar.

Suddenly, a strong cold wind blew around.

In the strong wind, the old Taoist's hair and beard were flying. He waved a peach wood sword, bit his fingertips, leaving a bloody mark on the wooden sword, and then he held the sword horizontally and hit Li Yan's straw man three times.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The three incense sticks went out almost at the same time.

Li Yan, who was standing below, also felt a black screen before his eyes and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, his Daluo Dharma body was repaired in time. When the musket was fired at him, he leaped up and changed direction.

On the top of the mountain, the old Taoist Qin Wanpei was breathing heavily.

Seeing the three incense sticks go out, I felt secretly proud.

Fortunately, he still had two tricks up his sleeve.

"Ghost Painted Face" risked his life to get the medium for the spell. If he couldn't do it himself, he would not be able to lift his head in the future.

But his pride didn't last long, and his face froze.

The three extinguished incense sticks actually emitted green smoke at the same time.

"this…"

Tan Wanpei almost vomited blood, and said in a hurry: "This kid must have some protective treasure on him!"

Unfortunately, the others had gloomy faces and were too lazy to pay attention to him.

And below, Li Yan also felt angry.

Those people on the mountain were all experts, but they chose to hide behind the musketeers. It was like a dog biting a hedgehog, with no way to bite it.

Damn it, these old ghosts come to trick and attack, without any martial ethics at all!

They are all famous people, why are they so cautious?
Suddenly, Li Yan had a flash of inspiration and guessed the reason.

His Gangling had been used up, so he didn't think about this at all.

But these old ghosts don’t know.

The reason why they acted in this way and used firepower to suppress and interfere was obviously because they were afraid that he would use the Gangling to summon the evil soldiers.

Thinking of this, Li Yan immediately shouted: "Qingjia! The sky is black above, the earth is black below, there is no light in the black sky, and there is no door in the black earth..."

The sounds of spells and shouts echoed throughout the mountains.

"not good!"

Everyone on the mountain was also shocked.

But before they could move, Jin Cui Lian was stunned. She looked at the figure leaving below and cried out, "That kid ran away!"

"Ghost Face" suddenly understood something.

Even though he was experienced in martial arts, at this moment, his face was full of anger, "This kid, the Gangling has been used up long ago. We were so cautious, but it was all in vain."

The others also looked unhappy.

It turns out that they planned this just to show off to the devil.

Qin Wanpei was amused. "That's fine. I will continue to cast the spell. Even if that kid has a treasure to protect him, he will be disturbed. Go ahead, my two Taoist friends, and kill him directly."

"Ghost Face" rushed out without saying a word.

Jin Cui Lian followed closely behind.

Without Gang Ling, with their skills and magic, there is nothing to worry about.

The leader of the musketeers also frowned and raised his hand to order: "Stop, clean up, don't waste the magazine."

He was also a little annoyed.

The fire suppression just now wasted the magazine.

Although the Shu Palace secretly controlled several mineral veins and had no shortage of gunpowder, the magazines were heavy and they could only carry a limited amount.

If they were used up, the musketeers would become toothless tigers.

The leader of the musketeers was annoyed and couldn't help but look at the old Taoist priest who was busy doing something beside him and snorted coldly.

This bunch of quacks are really unreliable...

…………

This time, the offensive and defensive situations have changed.

Just now, Li Yan was chasing after the "ghost face".

But now, it has become "Ghost Face" and Jin Cui Lian who are chasing the fleeing Li Yan.

"Hurry, don't let him get to the river!"

"Ghost Face" moved very quickly and turned his head and shouted angrily.

Seeing Li Yan disappear into the dense forest, Jin Cui Lian didn't waste any words. She took out a black cat's tail from her arms, recited a spell, and waved her hand.

Call ~
A chilly wind suddenly blew, and a pair of cat footprints appeared on the ground in the distance.

It is the cat ghost technique.

Cat ghosts are invisible and faster.

Jin Cui Lian said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, he can't run away!"

The two men quickened their pace in pursuit, fearing that Li Yan would run to the riverside and escape using the water escape technique.

But what they didn't realize was that the breath that the cat ghost was tracking in the distance was actually a straw paper man that was flying very fast along the ground.

After they left, Li Yan, also covered in fog, walked out of the dark forest, looking towards the top of the mountain with murderous eyes.

Then, the body quickly disappeared.
