Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 214

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.

Outside Pingling City, a group of soldiers dispersed according to Li Qiu's order. Dozens of people guarded around each village in groups. Each team carried sounding arrows. Once they saw a ghost, they would immediately shoot a sounding arrow to mark the location where the ghost appeared.

Li Qiu took Guo Hao and some soldiers, and stayed outside the city in a central area suitable for rushing to help the Quartet.

On a high slope, Li Qiu stood on the top of the slope, looking far away, always paying attention to the movements in all directions.

Guo Hao stood behind him respectfully.

Guo Hao is the most powerful in martial arts in Pingling City, and only the city lord Xie Ming can overwhelm him in official positions, but because Xie Ming has no strength to restrain a chicken, he is just a frail scholar, so Guo Hao usually does not have much respect for Xie Ming. Sometimes Xie Ming even ordered Guo Hao not to move.

But he didn't dare to be so presumptuous towards Li Qiu and Guo Hao, no matter his strength or rank, Li Qiu was far above him.

Dozens of soldiers stood neatly behind the two of them. Seeing Guo Hao who has never been so respectful to others, they were a little surprised, but they did not dare to whisper to each other, standing in place like silent stone statues .

Li Qiu ordered them not to make any noise.

Although the sound of the sound of the arrow is very loud, the sound will be louder in the silence of the night, but the area outside Pingling City is vast, and the villages are scattered around, so it is difficult for the sound of the sound of the arrow to cover the entire area outside the city of Pingling.

It's better to say that Li Qiu is not only in the late stage of nourishing viscera, his hearing is far superior to that of ordinary people, but also he has practiced Qingmu Jue, his qi and blood nourish his viscera, and his ears and eyes are clearer than those of warriors of the same level. .

I'm afraid that the ghost will attack the village on the edge, and the sound of the arrows shot from there will be a very small sound even to Li Qiu, so there can't be any disturbance.

In the dark night, only the moonlight brought a glimmer of light.

Beside a quiet mountain village, dozens of soldiers were lying in ambush in the forest next to the road at the entrance of the village, looking in the direction of the entrance from a distance.

The leader of the middle-aged soldier had a resolute face, with a beard like steel needles on his chin, and his eyes were full of vicissitudes of life. He calmly and calmly watched the entrance of the village, frowning slightly.

He felt that it had been a while since the last investigation, and he was going to order his soldiers to go to the village to investigate again.

He stared at the entrance of the village with his soldiers, because it was very likely that the ghost would enter the village from the entrance of the village and slaughter the villagers.

However, the possibility of Yin ghosts entering the village from other directions cannot be ruled out.

The process of the ghost slaughtering the villagers was silent, so soldiers had to be sent to the village to check every once in a while, just in case.

Just as the middle-aged soldiers were about to give orders, a black shadow suddenly appeared at the entrance of the village.

It's a ghost!
When the soldiers saw the figure at the entrance of the village, there was a commotion.

The middle-aged soldier looked calm, lowered his voice and scolded.

"Calm down! It doesn't have to be a ghost, maybe it's a thief who steals at night."

"Observe and observe first, and then make sure. If you make a mistake by releasing the loud arrow rashly, it will not only alarm the real ghosts, but also make the adults go for nothing. We will feel better then!"

Hearing the words of the middle-aged soldiers, the soldiers calmed down and carefully observed the figure that appeared at the entrance of the village.

The black shadow entered the village, jumped over the courtyard wall, and entered a house...

Leaping as tall as a person, it is almost certain that the shadow is a ghost!
After a while, the shadow left that house and jumped into another house.

Seeing that another family was killed, a young soldier next to the middle-aged soldier urged with an anxious look on his face.

"Commander, this must be a ghost, let's fire the arrow!"

"Let the adults sent by the imperial court to kill ghosts come earlier, so that fewer people will be killed!"

The middle-aged soldier frowned and shook his head firmly.

"No! It's not yet time!"

"Why?" The young soldier was puzzled.

"Firing the arrow at this time will startle the ghost and possibly make him escape."

"Wait a little longer." Speaking of this, the middle-aged soldier paused for a moment, and then said: "We will fire arrows after this ghost kills enough people and loses their sanity!"

The young soldier looked shocked, and said anxiously: "But when the ghost loses his mind, more than half of the villagers in the village will have been killed. Are we just here to watch that ghost slaughter the villagers?!"

The young soldier was emotional, and his voice couldn't help but a little higher.

"Silence!"

The middle-aged soldier turned his head and stared at him fiercely.

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy. If you can't kill this ghost today, you may kill ten times and a hundred times more people than today, you know!"

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged soldier turned his head and ignored him, and continued to observe the ghost that quietly slaughtered the villagers in the village.

The young soldier looked angry and opened his mouth, instinctively wanting to say something to refute the cold-bloodedness of the middle-aged soldier, but was pulled back by the soldier next to him.

The soldier said in a low tone.

"This Yin ghost killed several villagers after it came to our Pingling City area."

"Do you know why the city lord didn't move all the people outside Pingling City into the city to protect them, knowing that the people outside the city would be attacked by ghosts?"

The young soldier was taken aback for a moment, he had never thought about this question.

After the other party reminded him, he remembered this question.

Why doesn't the city lord take the people outside the city who are likely to be murdered by ghosts into the city.

"Because the city lord is not sure if the people outside the city are moved into the city, leaving no one to kill this ghost, whether it will retreat or directly attack Pingling City."

"If it chooses to attack Pingling City, and there are no fighters in Pingling City who can resist it, all the 10,000+ people in the city will be in danger, including the people who stayed outside the city before!"

The soldier answered.

"But..." The young soldier looked dull.

"No, but, although this is a bit ruthless, this is indeed the most appropriate way to deal with it!" The soldier interrupted the young soldier.

"Just like just now, if the commander did what you said, people in the village might be saved, but more people might be killed!"

The young soldier lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Get ready!" After a while, the middle-aged soldier shouted in a low voice, louder than ever.

"What preparation?" The young soldier asked instinctively with a puzzled expression.

The middle-aged soldier ignored him, stood up and took down the ringing arrow behind his back, put it on the bow, stretched the bowstring to the full, and shot fiercely into the night sky!
The loud arrow shot into the night sky, making a sharp and piercing sound, breaking the long silent night!

The middle-aged soldier looked terrified, threw the bow in his hand aside, slowly drew out the saber at his waist, and said firmly.

"After the loud arrows are shot, the villagers will be awakened and flee in all directions."

"The ghost may hunt down the villagers and leave the village."

"All we need to do is to drag this Yin ghost in this village before hearing the other people who are rushing here with the sound of the arrow."

"We may not be the opponent of that ghost, but we can hold it back with our lives. Even if we are all dead, we will drag that ghost in this village."

"If you let it escape tonight, not only will the villagers who died tonight die in vain, but it will become very difficult to kill it later."

"In order not to let another person be killed by it, brothers, kill me!"

The middle-aged soldier shouted loudly.

Holding a sword in his hand, he rushed to the ghosts in the village first.

"kill!"

Dozens of soldiers, including young soldiers, raised their spears vigorously, and killed the ghost together with the middle-aged soldiers in a tragic atmosphere that regarded death as home.

On the high slope, a faint voice fell into Li Qiu's ears.

As soon as he moved his ears, he immediately turned his head to look in the direction of the sounding arrow.

The ghost is in that direction!

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, he stomped heavily, his figure disappeared in place, and he rushed in that direction with a step of more than ten steps.

Guo Hao only felt his eyes go blurry, and the wind suddenly picked up, Li Qiu disappeared in front of his eyes, and when he turned his head, Li Qiu was dozens of steps away.

He didn't hear the sound of the arrow, but he knew that Li Qiu must have heard it.

"Quick! The ghost is in the direction that Lord Li is going, let's go!"

Guo Hao yelled, and led his soldiers to quickly chase in the direction where Li Qiu disappeared.

Li Qiu's figure swept across the ground like a gust of wind, and the smoke and dust were blown up by the wind.

After a while, he arrived at the village where the ghost was.

In the middle of the village, there are more than a hundred soldiers fighting with the ghosts.

It is better to say that it is a massacre than a battle.

The bloody ghost has nearly a hundred soldiers lying on its feet.

That Yin ghost was the same as all Yin ghosts, with thin body, pale skin, dead gray pupils, grinning mouth reaching to the ears, and the blood of soldiers and villagers all over his body.

Li Qiu drew the knife out of its sheath with cold eyes, and at the same time, his blood was like a red snake clinging to the slender blade of Yetan knife.

With one step on his body, he jumped several people high, leaped over the soldiers surrounding the ghost, and swung his knife to slash at the ghost fiercely.

The delirious ghost let out a roar at Li Qiu, and also jumped up from the ground, with black air billowing from his hands, like two iron claws, and grabbed him.

Under the cold moonlight, the blood-colored sword flashed in the air like a horse.

Swish!
The ghost let out a shrill scream, and his body fell from the air to the ground.

A hideous knife wound in front of his chest almost cut his upper body obliquely in half, and even the internal organs could be seen directly through the gap of the wound.

Next to the knife wound was a wound that looked like it was being burned by flames, and the flesh was curled and twisted.

Yin Gui kept screaming, was seriously injured, and finally regained a sliver of reason.

It got up from the ground, looked at Li Qiu with fear in its eyes, and let out a fierce roar, as if it was threatening Li Qiu.

Li Qiu, who landed firmly on the ground, looked at it indifferently, just about to step on it and attack it again.

Black air billowed from Yin Gui's body, like a cloud of black wind breaking through the encirclement of soldiers, and fled to the distance.

The pawns hit by the black ghosts fell to the ground with shriveled skin and flesh, as if their blood had been drained and turned into mummified corpses.

These ordinary soldiers couldn't resist the yin qi erupted by the ghosts who could rival the viscera cultivating stage warriors.

If you touch it, you will die, even if it is only wiped off.

Seeing the Yin Gui bursting out of Yin Qi and fleeing again, Li Qiu looked calm.

He had expected it a long time ago, he stepped on the ghost and chased after it.

The Yin Gui, whose strength rivaled the early stage of Viscera Nurturing Stage, was very fast after erupting Yin Qi, but it was not to the point where Li Qiu, who had the peak strength of Viscera Nurturing Stage, could not catch up. The distance between him and Yin Gui was rapidly closing.

close!

Swish!
Li Qiu slashed out again!

The evil wind came from behind, Yin Gui turned to resist, and his two arms were cut off by the extremely sharp Ye Tan knife.

When the neatly wounded arm fell to the ground, the injured ghost screamed miserably, and dark red blood gushed out from the severed arm like a spring.

Li Qiu's eyes were indifferent, and then he slashed out again.

The hideous and terrifying head of the ghost flew up, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

Billows of black air emerged from the corpses scattered by ghosts...

It took Li Qiu only three swords to slay the ghost that terrified tens of thousands of people in Pingling City.

But it's normal, with Li Qiu's strength already at the peak of the Zang Yang stage, it's strange that he used more moves to kill this ghost who only had the strength in the early stage of Zang Yang stage and was delirious.

Source Power: 28
The tenth level of Black Tiger Evil Code, the tenth level of Man Xiang Gong, the ninth level of Cangshan Qianyuan Kungfu (upgrade), the ninth level of Aoki Jue (upgrade), the ninth level of Spirit Snake Kungfu (upgrade), the perfection of Qingshuang Saber Technique (derivation and promotion), secret method · burning blood (deduction and promotion)...

Li Qiu called out the panel and found that beheading this ghost gave him not a lot of source power, which was similar to the source power he got from beheading Cao Shao back then.

But even though it wasn't much, it should be enough for him to raise all other exercises to the tenth level.

Ascension, the tenth floor of Cangshan Qianyuan Gong!
Ascension, the tenth floor of the Aoki Jue!
Ascension, the tenth level of the Spirit Snake Art!
As the remaining three exercises were promoted to the tenth level, Li Qiu's energy and blood surged sharply, and his strength also increased by several points.

He felt that he should have recovered his combat power to fight across the border, and he could fight against warriors in the early blood coagulation stage at the stage of the late visceral nourishment stage.

If Heihumen wants to take revenge on him for saving He Lingfeng and Jude from their pursuit, then come.

In fact, even if Heihumen didn't retaliate against him, he would go to the door even if he couldn't say it.

Because of the possibility of being retaliated by the Black Tiger Gate, on the way to Pingling City after leaving the inn, Li Qiu deliberately inquired about some things about the Black Tiger Gate.

One of the things surprised Li Qiu a little, that is, the black tiger sect's suppression technique is called the Black Tiger Shadian.

From the very beginning, he thought that both Heihu Shadian and Heihumen had the word Heihu, whether there was any connection between them, but after some inquiring, it really was.

Although I don't know how the Hei Hu Sha Dian, the black tiger gate's township technique of Jiezhou's Heihumen, got to the Shangjiang City area of ​​Gongzhou, and Yan Zhenbei got it.

But that's not important, what's important is that this is great news for Li Qiu.

If he can obtain the complete black tiger's evil code from the hands of the black tiger door, then the source power that originally needs to be deduced from the No. 11 and No. 12 layers of the black tiger's evil code will be saved.

This is a lot of energy, and it would be great if it could be saved.

and……

Li Qiu thought of the fierce sword technique that Chen Jianye used when he fought against Chen Jianye.

Although that saber technique might not be as powerful as the Gaefeng Knife, it is far superior to the Qingshuang Saber technique, and its power is at the top among the superior saber techniques.

If you can get that saber technique, and finally combine it with Gaefeng Jinji Saber and Qingshuang Saber to derive a new saber technique, I believe it will be great.

At least it is the top few sword skills in the world, and there may not even be a chance to fight for the title of the world's number one sword skill.
