Knife splashing

Chapter 512: Dragon's Wrath, Destroying the Village
“Wow!”

Wu Ba was in high spirits, swinging his axe and roaring.

His facial features were ferocious, his fangs protruded from his mouth, and his eyes were bloodshot. He was about to rush into the village to continue the pursuit.

This is Wu Ba’s weakness.

He grew up in Shennongjia, and all his combat experience came from hunting and tribal fighting. In many cases, instinct would override reason.

Coupled with the human-goddess blood, it is easy to go crazy.

Boom!
Before he could lift his foot, he was flicked on the head, and then Li Yan's voice came from behind him, "What do you want to do?"

Wu Ba calmed down immediately, gave an awkward smile, raised the door axe to defend himself, and slowly retreated.

Their main task is to protect Wang Daoxuan.

In the dragon-killing land, the terrifying evil aura is still raging.

If he acted rashly and got caught up in the chaos, allowing the enemy to take advantage of the chaos to attack Wang Daoxuan, that would be a serious mistake.

Sure enough, those people were forced to retreat but did not flee.

They quickly formed up their battle formations, some drew their bows and arrows, some fired darts, and some even took out firearms and opened fire.

For a moment, there was a whistling rain of arrows and roaring gunfire.

Fortunately, Li Yan and Wu Ba retreated quickly. Even so, Wu Ba's door axe was still blocked left and right, and sparks flew everywhere.

Of course, those people are not having a good time either.

Wang Daoxuan set up an altar and performed rituals, but he did not completely awaken the Dragon King of the River and Water Palace, but he did allow him to temporarily break free from his shackles.

The wrath of God was fully manifested at this moment.

In the entire dragon-killing area, strong winds blew and rocks flew everywhere.

Those evil masters were in a very awkward situation as they tried to rush out and destroy the altar while at the same time dodging the stones that were thrown at them.

What made them even more worried was that, because of the violent evil energy in the village, it was extremely difficult for them to stop using magic.

And those ordinary believers are undoubtedly the most unfortunate.

Being hit by the flying rocks was still a relief for some people. However, they could hear angry dragon roars in their heads and their eyes became crazy.

As if possessed, these people stumbled back to the mansion in the strong wind, killing anyone they saw and destroying everything crazily...

The whole village has fallen into complete chaos.

The core of all the defense measures of the Dragon Worshiping Cult village is the Dragon King of the River and Water Palace who has been eroded and enslaved.

If Li Yan and his companions enter rashly, their magical powers will be suppressed.

This is the reason why evil spirits dare not disturb those temples with strong incense and outsiders have to behave themselves when they go there.

But they didn't expect that Wang Daoxuan would directly seize the weak spot.

Dragons are naturally proud, especially the Dragon King who once controlled the rivers in Shu. If given the slightest chance, he will seek revenge to the death.

Soon, several large houses in the village caught fire.

The wind fanned the flames, and soon the fire was raging, with beams collapsing, bricks falling, and even spreading to other buildings.

Even Wang Daoxuan was a little surprised by this scene.

The destructive power was beyond his expectations.

"hold head high--!"

Accompanied by a long dragon roar, the evil energy surged and formed a huge tornado. All the stone towers were destroyed along the way.

Before long, the entire village was reduced to ruins.

Then the tornado gradually subsided.

In Li Yan's ears, the dragon's roar became weaker and weaker until it disappeared.

The Dragon King of the River and Water Palace was canonized in the Tang Dynasty. After many wars, the incense offerings were interrupted. Perhaps the temple had collapsed long ago, and the demon got the dragon king from somewhere unknown.

Today, I finally got relief.

This time, there were no obstacles at all.

When the thick fog and strong wind in the village dissipated, one could see the ground was in a mess, with rocks piled up everywhere and many corpses lying all over the place.

The losses of the gangsters and evil masters recruited by the Dragon Worshiping Cult were relatively small, with half of them still alive, about thirty or forty people.

They were filled with rage and rushed out of the village.

The leader was a lama wearing a red shirt, a yellow lama hat, and holding a prayer wheel in his hand.

"Do it!"

The lama roared, immediately made a Dharma seal and turned the prayer wheel.

Immediately, bursts of Buddhist chants filled the night sky, resounding in everyone's mind. Li Yan and the others were fine, but many men from the Salt Gang immediately had dull eyes, their bodies became weak, and they couldn't muster any strength at all.

"Nuo Gao, with three stars on the left and three prisons on the right, the world is turned upside down..."

Li Yan showed no sign of weakness and used the "Northern Emperor's Protective Spell" at the same time.

Wow!
He raised his left arm, and the demon-suppressing fish scales trembled.

The fierce murderous intent spread outward with him as the center.

The members of the Salt Gang, who were almost deceived, immediately regained their senses and either drew their bows and arrows or raised the captured muskets.

Arrows rained down and muskets roared continuously.

It was already midnight, the moonlight was dim, and neither side could see clearly, so they could only shoot randomly based on their feelings.

Occasionally someone would groan and fall to the ground after being hit.

"San'er!"

Sharifei let out a low cry and took out a caltrop.

Lu San had a telepathic connection with the falcon. He whistled, causing the falcon to flap its wings and swoop down. He grabbed the burning caltrops and rushed into the night sky, then threw them over the opponent's head.

boom!
There was a roar, smoke filled the air, and there was immediate silence on the other side.

But Lu San knew that not many people were actually killed in the explosion, so he chanted some magic spell and patted the magic gourd on his waist.

Buzz!
A dense swarm of poisonous bees whizzed out.

In the previous battle, the demon gourd had annihilated all the poisonous bees and was also seriously injured. Fortunately, when Lu San and his companions were searching for treasures, they found a powerful honeycomb of heavenly spirits and earthly treasures, which the demon gourd devoured.

Now that it has been accomplished, it is even more powerful than before.

The poisonous bees that are now cultivated are obviously much smaller in size. They are dark in color with a metallic luster, and their bodies are in the shape of a streamlined shuttle.

These poisonous bees were extremely fast and took advantage of the cover of night to encircle the enemy from both sides.

"It's a poisonous bee, cast a spell to break it!"

The leading lama quickly looked at the red-haired Taoist behind him.

The Taoist priest was obviously skilled in various fire techniques. He took out two bamboo tubes from his waist, lit them, and then pinched his fingers and blew hard at them.

In an instant, thick smoke billowed all around, emitting a pungent and unpleasant smell, which drove away the approaching poisonous bees.

But they can only protect themselves.

The remaining few people were stung, and it felt like a red-hot iron was stabbed directly into their bodies. They screamed in agony and were in so much pain that they could not concentrate on using magic.

There are also Li Yan and Wu Ba.

Without saying a word, they rushed out again.

Boom boom boom!
Wu Ba carried the axe and stepped on the ground with his heavy body, like an elephant crossing a river, and the vibration sound was clearly audible.

"Boy looking for death!"

When an evil demon saw this, he immediately used magic to intercept them.

He stuffed a yellow talisman into his mouth, chanted incantations, and then suddenly spat out, and black smoke came out.

Like a poisonous snake, it flipped up and down in the air and pounced towards Wu Ba.

This is a kind of spell that can cloud the mind and cause madness.

Others threw out poisonous snakes from their bags, made hand gestures and chanted incantations, making hissing sounds, and the poisonous snakes also flew towards Wu Ba.

They were coping the right way.

Wu Ba's strength is too terrifying, and his fighting style is almost like that of a beast. Once these monsters get close, they are no match for him.

It is most appropriate to deal with it with spells and poisons.

But Wu Ba was not alone.

Li Yan continued to cast the "Northern Emperor's Protective Spell".

The fish scale armor on his left arm rustled, and a murderous aura filled the air.

The black smoke created by the spell was shattered before it even got close.

Those poisonous snakes were so frightened that they completely lost control, turned around and turned back, and even wanted to bite their owners.

What made Li Yan most alert was an old woman in black.

The old woman was very old, but her status was obviously very special. She was carried on a stretcher with a sliding bar and a cotton jacket was carefully put on her legs.

Facing the rushing Li Yan and Wu Ba, the old woman used her dry hands to take out two straw men from the leather bag around her waist.

She stretched out her hand towards Li Yan and Wu Ba, drew a talisman in the air, made a hand gesture, picked up the steel spike, and stabbed it fiercely. Wu Ba groaned, covered his stomach and squatted down.

He just felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, as if a knife was stirring it.

Li Yan was also cursed and had a branding iron pierced through his heart.

This old woman is indeed quite skilled. Her spells are powerful and evil, and are not inferior to Wang Daoxuan's Seven Arrows Secret Spell.

"Granny Yuan, we can't let him go!"

When the other monsters saw this, they were overjoyed.

This Granny Yuan was originally from the orthodox Emei sect. Because she severely violated the precepts, her cultivation was abolished and her leg tendons were cut.

Unexpectedly, this wife had amazing talent. She used her crippled body to practice again and used the resentment in her heart to create a terrible spell.

Since then, he often secretly harmed Emei disciples and became notorious for his evil deeds.

Everyone takes such good care of him because of this spell, which can kill the enemy alive at the critical moment.

However, something surprising happened to them.

Li Yan's face looked horrible with pain, but in fact he had already used his Daluo Dharma body to remove the curse, and he quickened his pace without stopping.

Whoosh!
It transformed into a beam of light and rushed directly towards the crowd.

"Stop him!"

Two swordsmen came out swinging their swords.

boom!
Li Yan directly pulled out the flintlock rifle from his waist.

There was a loud bang and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

The others were startled and stepped back.

Li Yan took advantage of this opportunity, broke through the interception, leaped up above the old woman, and swung the knife with his right hand as he landed.

Clang!
The sword roared like a dragon and the head flew out.

"kill!"

When the others saw this, they surrounded and killed them.

They also had some understanding of the new firearms. Li Yan had just fired a shot and had no time to reload.

Now that we are surrounded, no matter how good our kung fu is, two fists cannot defeat four hands.

Whoosh!
One of them, holding a spear and stepping on a chain, rushed out first and stabbed Li Yan's heart directly.

And this is just a cover.

There were two other people, one swung out a sharp spike, and the other turned the meteor spike and followed closely.

But Li Yan's counterattack also took them by surprise.

shhhhh!

Two soul-breaking flying knives whizzed out.

But there was a flash of a knife, and the gunman's temple was pierced, and the other flying knife also knocked the sharp spike away.

Li Yan had already moved sideways and moved forward, avoiding the meteor hammer. He pulled the man over and smashed his head with a punch.

In a short period of time, he killed two people in succession.

Everyone around was chilled to the bone when they saw this.

To be honest, many of them still don’t know Li Yan’s identity, let alone how they got involved with this evil spirit.

The one who reacted the fastest was the lama who was in the lead.

He has the highest level of kung fu, having reached the pinnacle of Hua Jin, and is extremely good at seizing opportunities in battle.

Li Yan killed two people in a row, seemingly powerful, but with all his moves, it was inevitable that there would be a gap.

This trumpet-eyed creature rolled over like a red cloud, and made hand seals in mid-air. His right hand suddenly became thick and its color turned into maroon.

It is the Mahamudra of Tantric Buddhism.

boom!
His palm landed heavily on Li Yan's back.

But as soon as the hit was made, the Lama realized something was wrong.

After the power of the big handprint entered Li Yan's body, it was like a drop in the ocean. His palm was soft and powerless.

Click!

The ground beneath Li Yan's feet shook and cracked instantly.

But he used the Immortal Seal to transfer the force.

However, the opponent's power was higher than his, and the Immortal Seal could only remove most of it. The remaining vibrations to his internal organs still caused him internal injuries.

The heart and lungs were on the verge of rupture.

Blood oozed from the corners of Li Yan's mouth, and he used his Daluo Dharma Body to repair it directly. Then he twisted his body, and the Dust-Breaking Knife and two Soul-Breaking Flying Knives stabbed back at the same time, attacking the horn.

"Humph!"

The lama sneered, his monk robe fluttering, and his blood-red hands flew up and down, blocking all the Dust-Breaking Knife and Soul-Breaking Flying Knife.

Even the soul-catching lock cannot penetrate the monk's robe.

"It turns out to be a living ghost messenger!"

The lama laughed in anger and said in stiff official language: "The leader was going to deal with you guys, and now you are here for us!"

The Dragon Worship Cult wants to deal with "Huangquan"?
Li Yan didn't expect to learn the news by accident.

He didn't bother to pay attention to it. He twisted the Dust-Breaking Sword, grasped the handle with both hands, turned sideways, put the sword against his heart, and stabbed forward suddenly.

Snapped!
The lama reacted faster and clamped the blade with both hands.

However, this is what Li Yan was waiting for.

Crackling and flashing of lightning.

All the Yin and Yang thunder stored in the Dust-Breaking Sword were released.

Yin thunder destroys souls, and yang thunder destroys evil.

The old lama was beaten so hard that he was shaking all over, his muscles were trembling, his mind was blank, and his body was exhausted.

puff!

Li Yan took advantage of the situation and stabbed the man's heart with a knife. Then he flipped his wrist and cut off most of his neck.

While he was taking action, the others were not idle either.

Without the spell to stop him, Wu Ba roared and rushed into the crowd, swinging his axe back and forth. No one dared to confront him.

Buzz!
The poisonous bees controlled by Lu San flew around and provided assistance.

Seeing that the lama with the highest kung fu skills was also beheaded, the remaining dozen or so people were completely frightened and fled in all directions without saying a word.

Li Yan exerted force on his feet and followed closely.

Unfortunately, these guys were all experienced gangsters, and they fled in different directions without any warning.

After Li Yan killed two people in succession, the rest fled into the mountains.

Lu San quickly called the eagle to investigate, then frowned and said, "They didn't meet up, they went in different directions."

"Forget it, don't chase after a desperate enemy."

Li Yan shook his head slightly and led everyone to clean up the battlefield.

This is an important stronghold of the Dragon Worship Cult, but it is definitely not all of them. They must find as many clues as possible.

Soon, a discovery was made.

They found several letters from the lama.

It turns out that the Dragon Worshiping Cult has several branches hidden in various places in Shu, all of which are using evil methods to destroy water temples everywhere.

"Why are these lunatics destroying the Water Temple?"

Sharifei looked a little strange.

Li Yan thought of what he had seen along the way, shook his head and said solemnly: "In the past, Lord Jiangshen ruled the Shuzhong Water Palace with panic. These people are probably trying to cause a flood to make Lord Jiangshen gather incense again."

As for the rest, there weren't many clues.

Those big houses are ordinary graves for the living, built like tombs, and are dark and damp.

The statue of the Dragon King of the River and Water Palace was cut into sections, chained and placed in these houses, and people were killed for its worship.

Li Yan and his friends couldn't understand it, so they just burned it all down.

Although they had taken revenge, after the excitement of the Salt Gang men, a hint of worry could not help showing in their eyes.

This is just a branch of the Dragon Worship Cult.

Facing this behemoth,
They may not be able to resist next time.

Feng Laohai looked at Li Yan who was packing up, finally gritted his teeth, walked up to him and said, "Young Master Li, I have a way to make the Shu Palace hold back its anger and not embarrass you for the time being."

"I wonder if you dare to do it?!"
