Knife splashing

Chapter 548 Breaking the situation
Alien beast?

Looking at the blood parrot flapping its wings and flying towards him, Li Yan narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab the musket at his waist.

The so-called "strange beasts" are what monster hunters call them.

There are two kinds of Qi, Gang and Sha, in this world. Due to the influence of blood, special environment, magic, and other reasons, ordinary wild beasts will undergo changes.

Some have exceeded their limits in size, such as the Alligator Master.

Some will revert to their ancestral form, and some will even change their form.

This type of wild beast is usually called "strange beast" by monster hunters. It is also more likely to give birth to spirituality and transform into a monster.

But the blood parrot in front of me is obviously not from Shenzhou...

"Haha, haha, here comes another one!"

The blood parrot flapped its wings, flying and circling in the air, its body filled with evil energy and its surging malice undisguised.

Although this thing is just a beast, its cultivation is not shallow, comparable to that of a cultivator on the second floor. It is full of murderous aura, and its cry is as unpleasant as the cry of a soul.

Li Yan had a dragon and snake badge on him, and his aura was concealed.

The beast couldn't sense it and thought it was just an ordinary person. It flew around, trying to continue its game of intimidating its prey.

Seeing that Li Yan was not afraid at all, the blood parrot's eyes suddenly turned blood red. It circled in the air and suddenly fell down, grabbing Li Yan's face with its poisonous claws.

The poison on its claws is so strong that even tigers can hardly resist it.

But when it got closer, the blood parrot realized something was wrong.

Li Yan below just stared at him coldly.
Where is the fear of prey?

An inexplicable chill arose, the blood parrot screamed, turned rapidly, and was about to fly into the air, but it was too late.

Wow!
The soul-catching thunder rope whizzed out.

Today's Soul-Catching Chain has reached fifteen meters.

At this distance, no matter how fast the blood parrot was, it would be difficult to dodge and was tied up tightly by the invisible hook.

His whole body froze, and he fell vertically, rolling in the snow pile, unable to move.

Li Yan walked forward expressionlessly and put away the soul-catching rope.

The blood parrot regained consciousness, turned over and flapped its wings to escape, but a soul-breaking flying knife came whizzing over and hit its head.

The beast suddenly dared not move.

Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where was the previous one?"

This is why he didn't kill him directly.

When the blood parrot saw him, the first thing it said was "Another one", which meant that there had been a victim before.

Moreover, this thing is obviously an evil cultivator's spiritual pet.

It's probably the enemy.

"Wow~"

The blood parrot stood still, its eyes full of cunning and viciousness, trying to pretend to be a stupid bird to get away with it.

puff!
The Soul-Breaking Flying Knife fell directly and pierced his shoulder.

"Pain, death, spare my life..."

The blood parrot was in unbearable pain and started to talk nonsense. Seeing the murderous intent in Li Yan's eyes, he screamed, "In the house, in the house!"

Li Yan frowned, grabbed its neck, strode forward, and under the guidance of the blood parrot, entered a dilapidated thatched hut.

Before entering the door, the smell of blood hit my nose.

I saw a man tied to a pillar, his body covered in blood, as if he had been whipped by thorny bushes, his head drooped, and he was already dead.

Li Yan frowned, "Who is this person?"

The blood parrot answered honestly: "Wow, I don't know."

Li Yan asked coldly: "Who is your master?"

Although the blood parrot was vicious and cruel, it was very tactful. It sensed Li Yan's fear and said directly: "Grandma Chang, Grandma Chang..."

"Who is she?"

"Ghost troupe, ghost troupe, old woman..."

"Where did you come from?"

"Caught, caught, shipped on a ship, sold..."

After some communication, Li Yan also figured out the reason.

This blood parrot was indeed not a product of Middle-earth. It was captured on an unnamed island by a sorcerer who went out to explore after the opening of the sea.

It was transported back to China, and the intention was to sell it for a high price, but he ran into his enemy again and was killed and the treasure was taken away.

And this old lady Chang was originally the remnant of the ghost opera troupe. After hiding in Jinling for many years, she changed her identity and continued to wreak havoc.

The ghost drama troupe was reorganized and came to Shuzhong.

As for more inside information, the blood parrot does not know.

Of course, more important are Sharifei and others.

The ghost troupe has entered the distant snow-capped mountains and found Sharifei, and the two sides are fighting.

The blood parrot was sent to stand guard here.

We must go to support quickly!

As for this blood parrot, although it is a strange beast, it is vicious by nature, so there is no point in keeping it...

As if sensing Li Yan's killing intent, the blood parrot immediately screamed, "Don't kill them, don't kill them. I know their weaknesses. If you kill them, you will be in trouble!"

"Oh?"

Li Yan's heart moved, "Tell me."

He was always wary of the ghost theater troupe. After all, this organization was too famous and was wanted by the Xuanmen Orthodox Sect.

After lurking for many years, he is definitely not that easy to mess with.

Sharifei and others have followed him around the country and are now completely different from before. They must be very powerful to be able to force them to retreat.

"Clown clown, dog boy."

The blood parrot screamed, "The puppet technique is powerful. We must find the real body, otherwise we can't kill it. I know the location!"

"take me!"

Li Yan didn't waste any words and went to the snow mountain carrying the blood parrot.

He was extremely fast, and with his ability to smell the air, he quickly climbed over a snowy mountain and arrived outside a pine forest.

The pine forest was tall and deep, covered with thick snow above and very dim light below. A figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged in the snow, with several lotus lanterns lit around him.

"That's him! That's him!"

The blood parrot screamed immediately, with some excitement in its little eyes.

Click!

Before it could be happy for long, its neck was twisted off by Li Yan, and at the same time, the soul-catching rope flipped over, scattering its ghost.

This thing is extremely vicious, and Li Yan has no plan to keep it.

Of course, this kind of strange beast is usually full of treasures and can be used to make various magical tools, so it cannot be discarded at will.

Li Yan stuffed it into the leather bag around his waist, then lightened his steps and slowly approached the figure.

When the distance was only twenty meters, Li Yan suddenly exerted force.

Bang!
The snow under his feet exploded and his figure flew out.

The one sitting in the snow was none other than the clown Gou Wa, who used the technique of leaving the body to attach himself to the puppet.

For Li Yan, this distance is just a breath.

puff!
The other party didn't react at all and was directly hit on the head by Li Yan.

The wind howled and all the soul-guiding lamps around were extinguished.

This clown dog boy is also considered an expert, and he acts very cautiously. Every time he takes action, he hides his true self far away and avoids his companions.

But because of this, he suffered great misfortune.

He forgot that there was a blood parrot in the team, and he didn't know that Grandma Chang was always on guard and had to let the blood parrot find its true location every time.

Scheming against each other will eventually lead to bitter consequences.

As for Li Yan, he didn't even look at the corpse on the ground. He used the Northern Divine Movement Technique, transformed into a phantom, and ran wildly on the snow-capped mountains.

He had heard the roar of explosions in the distance...

…………

"careful!"

Sharifei gave a warning, raised his gun and pulled the trigger.

boom!
The flames roared and the smoke spread.

In the snow in the distance, Wu Ba was fighting with the black-faced warrior Xie Sanyang. The two of them were fighting back and forth, and the air waves were rolling.

On the nearby hillside, a tiger had already jumped out, its eyes bloodshot, its fangs bared, and it pounced on Wu Ba's back like a madman. As the gunshot rang out, the tiger's head exploded.

However, Sharifei had no time to be happy. He jumped up, quickly changed his position, and replaced the magazine at the same time.

boom!
The place where he was previously located also exploded.

"What a coward!"

Sharifei cursed, hid behind a huge rock, then suddenly stood up, drew his gun, and aimed at the dense forest on the opposite hillside.

In the cave behind him, Wang Daoxuan had set up an altar, stepped on the magic steps, chanted incantations, and performed the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell".

On the altar, the straw man was shaking and emitting green smoke, with a copper arrow sticking out of his body.

Wang Daoxuan held the second bronze arrow in his hand, and kept making hand gestures and chanting spells, trying to insert it into the straw man, but his arms kept shaking.

It's like it's in a stalemate with some force.

As for Lu San, he was guarding the cave entrance with a bone flower in his hand. He looked at the stalemate in the distance, then turned to look at Wang Daoxuan, his eyes full of anxiety.

They still underestimated each other's abilities.

Before dawn in the morning, they buried several talismans and set traps in the canyon according to Wang Daoxuan's arrangements.

The original plan was for Wang Daoxuan to cast a spell here to attract the opponent to break the formation, and at the same time use the "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" to kill Grandma Chang.

However, the clown on the other side actually sent out another zombie puppet, which used the earth escape technique to directly destroy the formation.

Not only that, the other side also has an additional sharpshooter.

If it weren't for Sharifei's restraint, they would have been put in a passive position long ago.

From morning till now, the two sides have fought several rounds.

If it weren't for the powerful "Seven Arrows Secret Spell" by Wang Daoxuan, which forced Grandma Chang to set up an altar to resist, they would have been at a disadvantage long ago.

But even so, the situation is extremely unfavorable.

Not only does the opponent have the music class masters using sonic illusions to harass them, but there is also the elusive clown who attacks them by surprise.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

clang!
There was another loud noise.

Although Wu Ba's axe is an inherited treasure in the Renxiao tribe, it is not as good as the long sword in Xie Sanyang's hand.

After several battles, he was already covered with scars.

With the final blow, it shattered directly.

And Xie Sanyang, who was now wearing Di Qing's mask, took advantage of the situation and showed no mercy. He turned his wrist and used the move of a python coming out of a cave. The blade, with the sound of a tiger's roar, went straight to Wu Ba's chest.

There is a well-known rule in martial arts combat.

The longer the weapon, the stronger it is; the shorter the weapon, the more dangerous it is. In battles of the same level, the one with weapons always has the advantage.

After all, we are all human.

No matter how strong Wu Ba was, he was unable to block Xie Sanyang's sword with his bare hands and could only retreat quickly.

But this retreat also put them at a complete disadvantage.

Xie Sanyang exerted force on his feet, the wind whistled, and one cut of his sword was faster than the other, as if to take his life and chase his soul.

puff!

He was very fast to begin with, and Wu Ba was unable to defend himself, and a cut was made on his waist, with blood splattering everywhere.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba was immediately aroused to ferocity, and his pupils turned blood red.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, kicked his feet, splashing snowflakes all over the sky, and then he waded through mud and turned his body to the side, narrowly avoiding the blade.

At this point, even if Wu Qu was here, he would have said "good".

The Bajiquan style "hit from above is to cloud-swipe, point and lift, hit in the middle is to poke, squeeze and lean, hit from below is to eat and bury the root", as long as the distance is shortened, there is a chance to break the deadlock.

After getting close, Xie Sanyang couldn't use his long sword anymore.

If you get hit by Wu Ba's palm, you will be killed instantly.

But Xie Sanyang was extremely experienced. He did not fight with Wu Ba at all. Instead, he exerted force with his feet, moved his body sideways, and distanced himself again.

Before he could stand firmly, he quickly dodged and retreated.

boom!
Gunshots rang out, and a big hole appeared on the ground instantly.

However, it was Sharifei who sensed something was wrong and tried to shoot to rescue.

His hunch was right.

After being injured, Wu Ba had become a little crazy. If he continued to attack, he would definitely fall into Xie Sanyang's trap.

This shot not only forced Xie Sanyang to retreat, but also made Wu Ba regain consciousness and suddenly pounce forward.

boom!
A big hole also appeared on the ground where Wuba was.

However, the other gunman lost his restraint and also appeared and opened fire.

The two sides were several hundred meters apart and neither side's accuracy was very good.

Wu Ba dodged the gunfire, and without stopping, he rolled over, exerted force on his feet, and quickly came behind the boulder where Sharifei was hiding.

When Xie Sanyang saw Sharifei raising his gun, he frowned slightly, retreated quickly and hid in the dense forest.

This is the reason for the deadlock.

Both sides have muskets, both have close combat experts, and people on both sides are fighting each other, so there is no room for any mistakes.

Sharifei breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out a small leather bag from his waist and threw it to Wuba, "Eat it quickly!"

Wu Ba opened the leather bag without hesitation, took out a small porcelain bottle from it, crushed it, and swallowed the pill inside.

The wound on the waist stopped bleeding quickly.

This elixir was made from magical herbs they obtained in Xiangyang City and was refined with the help of Li Shizhen's descendants. It is very effective in treating external injuries.

Although he repelled a wave of attacks, Sharifei did not feel relaxed at all.

"what--!"

Just then, screams were heard from underground in the distance.

In the devastated valley, with snow and dirt splattered on the ground, a short figure suddenly jumped out, with black smoke coming out of his body, and rushed into the dense forest.

When Sharifei saw this, he was immediately confused.

It was the clown from the ghost troupe who used the earth escape technique and hid underground the whole time, preparing to launch a sneak attack on Wang Daoxuan.

The guardian Lu San was there to restrain this person.

What happened to this guy?

In the dense forest opposite, the short figure stumbled in, screaming with fear in his eyes: "Quick, save me, someone has destroyed my real body!"

When Xie Sanyang heard this, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Without any further ado, he took out a leather bag from his waist, waved his fingers like the wind, and inserted golden needles into the clown's head.

This is the weakness of the clown puppetry.

His soul left his body and controlled the puppet. Once his real body was destroyed, he would be like a homeless soul.

The acupoints must be sealed with golden needles so that Gou Wa's ghost will not be blown away by the strong wind between heaven and earth.

But even so, it only delays time.

He has not yet reached the state of leaving the body, so even if he can attach himself to this zombie puppet, he will be like an evil spirit that cannot be seen in the light, and his soul will be destroyed sooner or later.

"Who is it! Who is it!"

Gou Wa's eyes were filled with despair and he howled hoarsely.

"What nonsense!"

Xie Sanyang glanced at them coldly and said, "It's death anyway. If I were you, I would just do it and kill every one of them!"

These were purely misleading words, but at this moment Gou Wa was unstable and a little crazy, and he suddenly looked into the distance.

"die!"

He let out a sharp scream, lunged forward, and used the earth escape technique to dive into the snow.

Swish!
A line of snow rushed directly towards Sharifei and the other man.

"careful!"

Sharifei quickly raised the magic gun.

But at this moment, there was a howling wind in the distance, and a figure disappeared in a flash, falling from the sky to the ground.

The person who came was Li Yan.

He stood in front of the two of them, and an invisible soul-catching chain whizzed out and drilled directly into the ground, tying up the clown tightly.

Then, he drew out the long knife from his waist and stabbed it fiercely.

There was no movement beneath the snow...
