Seeing clearly the face of the person approaching in the snow, Fengshen and Yunjiang were both so surprised that they could hardly believe their eyes. However, the Xiong family father and son were overjoyed to see the person coming.
Xiong Bailing said: "Brother Li, thank you for your help. You came just in time. Let's deal with these devils together."
The person who came was none other than Li Hu.
Previously in the Demonic Secret Village in the valley at the west foot of Saintess Peak, Lihu Ximentong once said to Ximentong, "I have a way to escape." He did not lie.
After the two sneaked into the secret village, they wanted to find out the purpose of many strangely built stone houses. They went to the roof to check the situation inside the house. Then when they wanted to go to the meeting hall to investigate, they met a man in the house. Li Hu killed the demon cultists who were patrolling the village with one sword, cut open the door lock of the stone house, and threw the bodies in.
After being discovered by Si Jue outside the meeting hall and covering Ximen Tong's breakout, Li Hu deliberately led Feng Shen Yun Jiang and a large number of demon cultists who were chasing behind him, and made a large circle in the village, finally hiding in the place where he had abandoned his body. This stone house is among them.
The stone house was quickly surrounded. Fengshen sent his followers to attack the house and injure several people. Yun Jiang personally took action but was repelled by Li Hu. Seeing that it was difficult to storm into the house, Fengshen ordered his followers to get the black oil cans and prepare to set them on fire. When he entered the house, Li Hu quickly changed clothes with the killed patrolling congregant, and then began to dig a hole in the ground.
The floor of the stone house is paved with a layer of bluestone, but Li Hu's "Snake Wing Sword" is a sword that can cut iron as well as mud. His hand strength is also very strong, and he quickly splits the stones, and then digs down into the soil. When the oil tanks were thrown in and the fire started in the house, Li Hu had already dug a sloping pit six to seven feet deep. He immediately jumped into the pit, collapsed the pit mouth, and buried himself.
After the house was destroyed by fire, Fengshen ordered the fire to be put out and the search was carried out. However, after several believers who rushed into the stone house were killed, their bodies were thrown out by Li Hu. Therefore, the burnt corpses in the house were found, along with Li Hu's clothes. It was consistent. Fengshen did not suspect that it was false. In fact, Li Hu was buried several feet below the ground of the stone house at that time. It was not until the demonic man left that he used his strength to loosen the soil and crawl out.
Li Hu's method of cheating death to hide it from General Fengshen and Yun was clever, but it also took a lot of risks, because although being buried underground could avoid the fire, it would make him unable to breathe. No matter how strong Li Hu's internal strength was, he could hold his breath for half a day. Zhu Xiang's time has reached the limit, and he must come out when the time comes. If the demon cultists haven't left yet, he will definitely become a turtle in a urn, without even a chance to resist.
However, Li Hu had heard the news earlier in the meeting hall that Fengshen was about to lead his followers to the Immortal Cliff for support, so he expected that they would not stay in the stronghold for long.
Sure enough, when Li Hu climbed out of the ground, there were no people around him. The demon cultists in the secret stronghold came out in full force. There were less than twenty people left in the stronghold, and no one would stare at this already. Burnt into ruins.
Li Hu did not waste time taking care of the remaining believers, but quietly avoided their eyes and ears, and immediately sneaked out of the camp, tracking the demonic troops led by General Fengshenyun. For Li Hu, it was necessary to go to the top of the Immortal Cliff Helping Boss Shitou was the most important thing, and he calculated that the magic path would have a shortcut to the top of the cliff. As long as he followed them, he could get to the cliff as quickly as possible.
With Li Hu's ability, it was not difficult at all to track a team of hundreds of people. Soon he followed the footsteps of the village and found the secret path up the cliff, which is the so-called "Cloud Road".
This plank road built of wood spiraled upwards in the recess of the cliff. It was not only steep, but also very secretive. Li Hu suddenly attacked and killed several guards guarding the entrance of the plank road, and then flew up the plank road.
If you climb to the top of the cliff from the foothills in the south, it will take at least two hours. However, it only takes more than half an hour to reach the fairy cliff by walking on this steep plank road.
When he was about to reach the top of the cliff, Li Hu encountered a little trouble. This was because the footprints he was following suddenly split into two paths. One path with more people continued upward along the plank road, while the other path with fewer footprints , but took a path in the mountains on the other side.
The opponent divided their forces to decide which side to follow, which made Li Hu hesitate. He carefully examined the footprints left on the snow and finally found some clues. Fengshen and Yunjiang seemed to be walking on a small path. The leader of the Taoists must have some agenda when he left the group with some of his men, so Li Hu decided to follow the side with fewer people.
This decision was not wrong. What Li Hu followed was the group of people who were led by Fengshenyun to attack the top of Yuji Palace with sixty-four mad war beasts. Following the footsteps on the snow, he soon I discovered the entrance to a secret cave behind the cliff, climbed up the stone steps inside the cave, and reached the top of the mountain in just a cup of tea.
After exiting the cave, Li Hu immediately saw the battle between the Qingyun Sword Formation and the Wild War Beast, and also saw the fight between the Xiong family and his son and the Fengshen Yunjiang. When Xiong Bailing was in danger, he picked up a stone and threw it, missing the Fengshen. The sword saved Xiong Bailing's life.
A person who was thought to be dead suddenly came back to life and appeared in front of him. You can imagine the fear in Fengshen Yunjiang's heart, but they were not ordinary people after all, and they calmed down in an instant.
"So you're not dead," Yun Jiang said in a deep voice.
Li Hu grinned and said: "How could I be burned to death by just a small fire? Only you stupid pigs would think so, haha, but I still have to thank you. If you hadn't led the way, I would have There’s no way we can get to the top of the mountain so quickly,”
Just a moment ago, General Yun was still laughing at others like pigs, but he never knew that retribution would come so quickly. Even though he was cunning, he couldn't help but feel angry and wanted to curse.
However, Li Hu did not give General Yun a chance to retaliate. He turned to Xiong Bailing and said, "Uncle Xiong, you and Mr. Xiong are entangled with the man in green robe. Leave this pig's head named Yun to me."
Xiong Bailing responded: "Okay," winked at Xiong Tiannan, and both attacked the Fengshen.
Given the current situation, it would have been safer for Fengshen and Yunjiang to join forces in attack and defense. After all, they came from the same school, so they would have a better understanding than Li Hu and the Xiong family's father and son.
However, when he heard Li Hu's frivolous curses and had suffered a loss from him in the secret village, Yun Jiang was filled with rage. He just wanted to beat the man to death with a whip, but he didn't care much. He screamed sharply. , the body rose up, the silver cloud flew out, and struck directly at Li Hu.
Li Hu calmly dodged to the side, and at the same time raised his sword to fight back. The five of them suddenly became two groups fighting each other.
Fengshen didn't care about such a fight, because in his opinion, both sides had some advantages. Although there were two Xiong family father and son, Xiong Tiannan was weak in martial arts, and Xiong Bailing only had one arm. Even with one against two , he can also gain the upper hand, and as for the one-on-one duel between Yun Jiang and Li Hu, there will be no problem.
The opponent has no reinforcements like Li Hu. The current trend is to seize the time to deal with these people before they can break through the Qingyun Sword Formation. Instead of the two of them getting together for safety, it is better to fight separately. Maybe they can catch them faster. Seize the opportunity and make a quick decision.
General Yun also thought so. He deployed the Silver Dragon Whip in his hand, and the attack was like a gust of wind and rain. But wherever the shadow of the whip went, white light drew dozens of large and small circles in the space, layer upon layer. The ground was like rolling clouds and mist, pressing down on Li Hu head-on.
What he used was the unique move "Boundless Sea of Clouds" in the "Silver Dragon Whip Technique". As long as one of these many circles formed by whip shadows was caught, he would be immediately pinched by the whip as sharp as a knife. Cut into two pieces.
In comparison, Li Hu's swordsmanship was far from that sharp. He only used Qinggong and body skills to dodge left and right. When he couldn't avoid it, he used the "Snake Wing Sword" to neutralize the opponent's offensive. Yun Jiang used "Cloud Sea Infinite". "Ya" was over, and the whip shadow drew hundreds of circles. Li Hu retreated twenty steps, but only stabbed more than ten swords, and the rest of the whip shadows were dodged by him.
Although Yun Jiang suffered a loss from Li Hu in the secret village at the foot of the mountain, it was just because the opponent took advantage of the location and succeeded in a sneak attack by chance. In terms of real martial arts, Yun Jiang believed that he was superior to the opponent, but the two After fighting each other for more than ten moves, Yun Jiang found that it was not easy to defeat Li Hu in a short period of time.
Contrary to the previous fight in the stone house, Li Hu was very cautious at this time, and every thrust of his sword was smooth and steady. Facing General Yun's full attack, he held the door tightly with his sword. Don't seek merit but strive for no faults. If you keep fighting like this, even if General Yun can win in the end, it will be at least several hundred moves later.
Of course, General Yun is also very clear about why the opponent uses such tactics. Time is on the opponent's side now. The sixty-four mad war beasts are constantly being injured in the Qingyun Sword Formation. The longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it will be for them. , if the winner is determined after hundreds of moves, I'm afraid there won't be a few of those frenzied fighting beasts left.
Yun Jiang secretly glanced at the battle situation between Fengshen and Xiong's father and son on the other side, only to find that the situation was similar to this one. Xiong Bailing and Xiong Tiannan simply stood back-to-back, striking hard with their palms continuously, and using all their strength to catch Fengshen's sword. It would take less than a moment and a half for the palm to be exhausted, but the Xiong family and his son had already made up their mind to hold on for a long time, and there were no changes in their moves in such a hard-hitting strategy. Xiong Tiannan was inexperienced in dealing with the enemy. Weaknesses can also be compensated for.
The fight must not continue like this, we must find a way to quickly deal with the opponent, Yun Jiang thought to himself, but suddenly changed his mind.
Each of the "Six Unique Skills of Wu Sheng" has its own unique martial arts, and the second-ranked Yun Jiang is no exception. He does not have the powerful defense of Lei Gong's "Mingyin Transformation Shield" or the surprising victory of Pei Niang's "Yuanci Magic". Ability, the strength of his martial arts lies in design.
Back then, the old demon Wusheng and Ma Wuhua had a duel in the Wanfu Wanshou Tower. They fought from the bottom to the seventh floor. They changed weapons at each floor, from claws, swords, knives, to sticks and hammers. It's an ingenious design, and when it comes to the seventh floor to decide the winner, the weapon used is the soft whip.
