Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 17 Yellow Paper Lanterns
"The little Taoist priest is a bit ruthless!"
The old woman held a yellow paper lantern and spoke with a cold expression.
As his voice fell, the green fire in the lantern suddenly became brighter, and the entire courtyard was dyed with a strange luster.
Ji Yuan's expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't feel the chill falling on his body. Compared to the old woman with a murderous look on her face, he was paying more attention to Li Mufeng at this time.
The latter was obviously in a state of embarrassment and had become a prisoner of a ghost just a moment ago, but it gave him an extremely dangerous feeling, which made him more fearful than the ghostly ghost in front of him.
As if he didn't feel Ji Yuan's meaningful gaze, Li Mufeng immediately comforted the girl for a few words after escaping from the trap, and then took out a few pills and swallowed them whole.
"How many of you dare to cause trouble in the mansion? Do you know that you have committed a capital crime?"
Seeing that several people looked calm and showed no fear or other emotions at all, the old woman said in a sinister voice.
She blew a breath towards the yellow paper lantern in her hand, and immediately green flames flew out, whistling in the dark wind and swelling several times, turning into two fire pythons and shooting towards several people.
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan subconsciously slapped him with a whisk. His seemingly long beard suddenly burst out with astonishing force and whipped away an incoming fire python.
However, as a result, the whisk in his hand was inevitably contaminated by the green flames. In just a few blinks, most of the long white whiskers on the whisk were burned away.
Ji Yuan glanced at the whisk in his hand, and then threw it on the ground. Although this whisk was only a bargain bought for seven or eight cents, after all, it had been with him for several years, and he still felt a little distressed.
‘Clang!’
When the flying fire python attacked again, he reached out to his waist and pulled out a slender soft sword, and his body was fluttering like a cloud of smoke.
Every time the cold light appeared, Ji Yuan could slash the body of the fire python with his soft sword. However, the opponent was not a living creature. As the billowing yin energy submerged into its body, the injuries recovered in just a few blinks.
He tried to use talismans to resolve it, but when several yang-filled talismans were thrown out, they were unable to cause any damage to the fire python. At best, they only dimmed the green firelight on its body.
After several trials, Ji Yuan suddenly understood that the fire python in front of him was not a ghostly creature in essence, but just an attack method evolved from a magical weapon.
This magical weapon itself has no attributes. It happens that the power it draws at this time is Yin Qi, so it can be affected by the talisman containing Yang Qi, but it cannot cause actual harm.
"It's troublesome!"
He muttered to himself and glanced not far away.
At this time, Li Mufeng and the others were fighting with another fire python, and they had the upper hand for a while. However, the fire python could not hurt a few people, and they could not inflict substantial damage either.
If the current situation continues to develop, they will definitely be beaten to exhaustion in the end, and either become prisoners, or they will be directly entangled by the fire python and burned to death by the green flames.
Ji Yuan feels that the probability of the latter should be higher.
So after reciting the honorary title, his footwork suddenly changed. His figure, which was as elusive as smoke, suddenly flew several feet away as fast as the wind.
He crossed the fire python in a few steps, then appeared in front of the old woman, and stabbed it hard with his sword without hesitation.
Seeing this, the opponent quickly backed away, and even reached out to slap the slender sword, trying to deflect the sword tip that was piercing her eyebrows. However, when her palm touched the sword, a golden light suddenly appeared.
"ah!"
The old woman exclaimed in pain, and withdrew her arm as if it had been touched by red-hot coals. When she looked down, she saw black smoke billowing from her palm, and a hideous wound was burned in an instant.
And the soft sword, following the force of the old woman's slap, suddenly twisted its blade and stabbed the back of the opponent's hand holding the lantern as fast as lightning.
In an instant, a golden rune suddenly appeared on the shining sword. As the golden light flashed out, the old woman let out a scream and could no longer hold on to the lantern.
She jumped back three to four feet in fear, her hands were injured by the golden light on the soft sword, and black smoke was constantly rising, which was filled with extremely strong Yin Qi.
At the same time, when the yellow paper lantern fell to the ground, the two fire pythons that the old woman had blown out in one breath also instantly turned into dots of light, and collapsed on the spot.
"It turned out that your purpose was always the lantern!"
The old woman's tone was cold, her face was full of anger, and she looked really ferocious and terrifying from a distance.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan smiled and shrugged, ignoring the old woman's eyes that seemed capable of killing people, and took a step forward to reach out to pick up the lantern that fell to the ground.
For Qi practitioners, the value of a magic weapon is self-evident. Even if its power and efficacy are not satisfactory, or even seem a bit useless, it can still attract everyone to fight for it.
Not to mention the power of this yellow paper lantern itself, which is already extremely good.
However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, a strong wind roared behind him, and two piercing murderous intent quietly descended.
Ji Yuan, who was well prepared, reacted and swung out his sword. The soft sword blade shook out several sword flowers in the air, and flew away all the hidden weapons that were fired at him.
At this moment, two figures arrived one after another, holding long swords and attacking his heart and lower abdomen respectively.
Cang!!! Cang!!!
Under the moonlight, several sparks splashed up with a crisp sound. Ji Yuan used his strength to quickly retreat. When he saw the two people in front of him, he wanted to bully him. When he did, he threw out several talismans and turned into several fireballs to block the opponent's front.
On the road.
"Well, you Li Mufeng, you really are nothing!"
As soon as he stabilized his body, he immediately shouted out, his eyes full of ridicule.
When this guy faced the enemy before, he had brought his junior brothers and sisters to preserve their strength. Now when he saw that there was a profit, he did not hesitate to make a sneak attack. Such an approach really discredited the word "reputable and upright"!
"The treasures of chance in the world are inhabited by the virtuous."
Li Mufeng smiled lightly, raised his toes, and the yellow paper lantern on the ground fell into his hands.
As soon as he took possession of this lantern and felt the abundant spiritual energy contained in it, the smile on his face became even stronger.
A good-quality magic weapon, not to mention how much improvement it can bring to the holder, its value is already amazing, enough for ordinary Qi practitioners to not have to work hard for decades.
"Oh, is it so?"
But before Li Mufeng could be proud, a whisper sounded in his ears.
"Brother, be careful!"
With the next breath, the girl's nervous shouts came.
A chill suddenly enveloped him, and the smile on Li Mufeng's face suddenly froze. Without thinking, he rushed forward. At the same time, he turned around and grabbed the stern man beside him, dragging him to where he originally stood.
place.
puff!!!
A stream of blood exuding coldness spurted out from the mouth of the stern man. His face instantly turned pale, and ice-blue frost condensed on his body and clothes. This chapter has been completed!
