In the mountains and forests, Sun Xianzong was riding on horseback, with his left hand across his chest, holding a flying talisman gun. After taking aim, he pulled the trigger with his right hand.
"Whoosh——"
A talisman whizzed out from the flying talisman gun and flew toward the Black Lotus Sect demon in the distance.
Unfortunately, due to the jolt of the horse, Sun Xianzong's gun missed its target. Not only did the talisman fail to hit the demon of the Black Lotus Sect, it did not even fall into the crowd, but hit a big tree nearby.
Sun Xianzong's face darkened, and he was about to curse a few words when he saw the talisman explode with a 'boom', breaking the big tree it hit, and bursting out with raging flames, instantly igniting the entire tree.
Not only that, the big tree that was blown up fell down towards the Black Lotus Sect demon at the right time.
Although there was an Arhat from the Black Lotus Sect who immediately stirred up the evil spirit and murderous intention and smashed the burning tree that fell towards them, so that the demons from the Black Lotus Sect were not injured by the tree.
But this also caused raging flames to fall like raindrops, burning many Black Lotus demons and running away with their heads in their hands.
Finally, another Black Lotus Bodhisattva cast an evil spell and extinguished the flames on everyone.
The sentinels who were with Sun Xianzong were all experienced old night watchmen, so naturally they would not miss such a good opportunity.
When the big tree fell, they shot arrows and talismans one after another.
Although most of these offensives were blocked and failed to cause much harm to the Black Lotus Demons, they also successfully disrupted the Black Lotus Demons and delayed their pursuit.
While the sentries were carrying out fire raids, they did not forget to praise Sun Xianzong.
"Master Sun is good at shooting!"
"It's not difficult to blow down a big tree with one shot, but it's much more difficult to control the direction of the tree's fall so that it just falls towards the enemy!"
"Although Mr. Zhu's gun skills can turn corners, it may not be easy to achieve this."
Sun Xianzong blushed and said repeatedly: "Luck, it's all luck."
That is to say, he is honest. If it were a shameless commander here, there would be absolutely no luck. It is a coincidence. It is the result of his careful calculation and the exquisite performance of his gun skills.
Fortunately, at this time, a paper crane symbol flew over and helped Sun Xianzong out of the siege.
Without looking at the contents of the paper crane talisman, Sun Xianzong knew that his master must have completed the deployment and sent a message to them to retreat.
Although the demons of the Black Lotus Sect in the distance seemed to be in a state of chaos, Sun Xianzong was not eager to fight, and he did not rush to charge with his sentry in a hurry.
Sun Xianzong knew very well that although they caused some trouble to the demons of the Black Lotus Sect, it was all due to unexpected sneak attacks. The demons of the Black Lotus Sect could not figure out how many people they had and how strong they were.
Moreover, although the demons of the Black Lotus Sect were temporarily confused, they did not suffer too many casualties.
If the scouts refuse to give up, once the Black Lotus Sect demons react and see through their depth, they will be in danger.
Maybe everyone will have to answer here.
After all, this group of Black Lotus Sect demons are not only more numerous than them, but their overall strength is also stronger than them.
In addition to the Black Lotus Arhat who shattered a big tree with one punch, Sun Xianzong also saw several Black Lotus Bodhisattvas among this group of Black Lotus demons.
Among them, there are even Bodhisattvas who have reached the "Ten Stages", and even "Equal Enlightenment" and "Wonderful Enlightenment"!
The Black Lotus Sect copied Buddhist scriptures and divided their Bodhisattva levels into fifty-second levels. The 'Ten Levels', 'Equal Enlightenment', and 'Wonderful Enlightenment' all belong to high-level Bodhisattvas, who are the most promising to attain Black Lotus.
People in the lotus position are also extremely evil people who have stained their hands with countless lives!
Like Li Ananda, whom Qin Shaoyou met before, he was only a 'Ten Abode' level Bodhisattva, belonging to the middle and low levels. He was not even a little bit weaker than these high-level Black Lotus Bodhisattvas.
According to Sun Xianzong's judgment, these high-level Bodhisattvas of the Black Lotus Sect are at least four or five levels in strength, and they are not something that sentry riders like them can deal with.
Being able to delay them for a moment and make them fall into chaos is already a great victory.
So after receiving the paper crane talisman, Sun Xianzong did not hesitate and immediately blew the iron whistle he had been holding in his mouth.
"Didi-didi-didi-"
A sharp whistle sounded in the forest. After hearing the whistle, the sentry riders immediately drove in the direction agreed in advance.
However, this sharp whistle also caused trouble for Sun Xianzong.
A high-level Black Lotus Bodhisattva targeted him.
The Black Lotus Bodhisattva chanted a mantra and made the horse under his crotch have the ability to shrink into an inch. It was several times faster than the war horse Sun Xianzong was riding, and it rushed towards him at high speed.
Seeing this scene, Sun Xianzong cursed and quickly ordered the sentries around him to disperse, so as not to let this Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva make dumplings.
The Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva, who was speeding up, ignored the other sentry riders and only pursued Sun Xianzong.
Obviously, he saw that Sun Xianzong was the leader of this team of sentinels, and wanted to catch him and ask for information.
Sun Xianzong patted his horse and ran away, while simultaneously releasing his blood energy to observe the movement behind him.
When the Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva entered his attack range, he suddenly shouted loudly, turned around, and responded with a thunderous spear.
With this shot, Sun Xianzong used all his strength, and the billowing blood wrapped around the tip of the gun. It really bloomed with cold light, and the gun shot out like a dragon!
The surrounding air was moved by this shot, turning into wind blades and attacking the incoming Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva.
"Boom boom boom——"
Several shrubs nearby were broken and crushed by the pressure of the gun, and sawdust and leaves flew into the air, obscuring the view.
Even the face of the Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva showed a hint of astonishment. Apparently, he did not expect that Sun Xianzong's shot could actually explode with such power!
How did he know that Sun Xianzong not only practiced the secret techniques that Qin Shaoyou brought from the Yaosi Library in Yizhou Town, but also ate a lot of demon and ghost delicacies.
His vitality and explosive power are among the best among martial artists of the same level.
Although this Black Lotus Bodhisattva is stronger than Sun Xianzong, he is not willing to take this shot.
He roared, and several evil spirits surged out of his body, turning into a black lotus in front of him.
The black lotus bloomed in an instant, and countless evil ghosts roared out and faced Sun Xianzong's return spear.
"boom--"
The wind blade driven by the carbine was the first to be chewed up and devoured by these ghosts. Then the blood on the spear was snatched away by them. Even the head and barrel of the spear were chewed to pieces by them.
Although there were some evil ghosts who were killed by this shot, they could not hold back the number of evil ghosts that emerged from the black lotus. There were too many.
Not only that, the strange black lotus also hit Sun Xianzong's horse at lightning speed.
Countless thread-like things shot out from the black lotus and penetrated into the body of the war horse. In an instant, the majestic war horse was cut into pieces and turned into pieces of flesh and blood mist.
The screaming ghosts immediately pounced on them, frantically grabbing the pieces of flesh and blood mist.
But there was no joy on the face of this Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva.
Because Sun Xianzong ran away.
The moment he released the black lotus, Sun Xianzong activated the escape talisman and vaulted into the ground.
This Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva was not good at escaping, and Sun Xianzong was not the primary target of his trip, so after hesitation, he gave up the pursuit.
Several demons from the Black Lotus Sect caught up with him at this moment and bowed to him: "Bodhisattva Killing, these rats that harassed us have all run away, do you want to pursue them?"
"Not urgent."
The Killing Bodhisattva glanced in the direction where the sentry riders were retreating, then turned to call someone.
"Spirit-nosed Arhat, take a good sniff with your nose and see in which direction the soul boy we are looking for is located."
"Accept the decree."
A demon from the Black Lotus Sect wearing a mask quickly came to the side of the Black Lotus Sect Bodhisattva. After taking off the mask, a nose similar to that of a dog was revealed.
After reciting the incantation and activating the magic formula, he sniffed it vigorously a few times, and soon made a discovery. He raised his hand and pointed in the opposite direction from where the Sentinel Qiu left.
"Reporting to Bodhisattva, the scent of the soul boy is in that direction and is escaping far away."
"Haha, it's just as I expected."
The Killing Bodhisattva sneered.
"These rats clearly want to lure us away. If we really go after them, we will fall into their trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain!"
"The Bodhisattva is wise."
"Although these mice are cunning, they are not enough in front of the Bodhisattva of Killing Lives."
"The Bodhisattva has a sharp eye, and I can't hide their little tricks from you at all."
A group of Black Lotus cult demons hurriedly flattered him.
There was a hint of pride on the face of the Killing Bodhisattva, and he waved his hand, signaling everyone to move in the direction pointed by the Ling-nosed Arhat.
"Let's go, let's give these mice a surprise, take the soul boy back, and present it to the great Black Lotus Buddha."
"Legal decree!"
The demons of the Black Lotus Sect set out in a hurry.
The clever-nosed Arhat was like a hunting dog, wagging his nose and rushing to the front to lead the way.
Soon, they caught up with their target and surrounded the group.
