A long street stained with flesh and blood.

The pale demon surrounded the two people.

Li Changan and Yu Mei stood leaning against each other, looking at the demons with their eyes.

But the first impression is not that they are so numerous and ferocious, but that...

miserable.

The Taoist priest glanced at it.

There was no one whose body was intact. Every monster insect had marks of being bitten and torn all over its body. Its limbs were missing, its bones were exposed, and its stomachs were disembowelled.

Right.

Thinking of that creepy "giant ball", one wonders what kind of price these monster insects paid to get rid of the monster tide.

That's why we now adopt this posture of besieging but not attacking.

But think about it instead.

And what makes them willing to drag their maimed and dying bodies to stand in front of him?

Li Changan's thoughts were spinning and he quickly found the key.

"Huan Die is not here."

Yu Mei understood in his heart.

"Things are fishy, ​​let them go?"

"Yes, break out of the encirclement as soon as possible."

Yu Mei drew a sword with her right hand and a bell knife with her left hand; Li Changan took out a "divine walking talisman" and stuck it on his body.

The monsters and insects responded accordingly, and the encirclement became even tighter.

It is foreseeable that there will be a bloody storm in the next moment.

However.

At this moment of tension.

"Huh?"

The Taoist priest was surprised to find out.

In front of the long street, behind surrounded by demonic insects.

Like a walking zombie.

A familiar figure staggered over.

…………

The visitor has two long and short swords on the left and right sides of his waist. There is a short sword hanging on the back of the waist, and there is a long sword on his back.

There is only one person in Xiaoshui who does this - the knight-errant Zhang Yi.

He had obviously experienced a brutal fight. At this moment, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were ragged, and he was covered in blood. Strangely, he had an object wrapped in silk and satin in his arms and hung around his neck, which looked cumbersome. Li Changan had sharp eyes and recognized the head of a human, vaguely a woman.

.

He seemed to be aware of Li Changan's scrutiny.

He turned around, his expression numb, and his eyes wandered for a while, finally focusing on the Taoist priest's face.

As if he had been thinking for a long time, he took a deep breath.

"It is you."

His eyes are a little more lively.

He slowly shook his head and glanced left and right at the group of demon puppets surrounding the two of them.

"50 taels? It's worth the price."

His voice was hoarse and difficult to hear clearly, and the content of his words was even more incomprehensible. Both parties in the teaching field were confused, except Li Changan.

The words fall to the ground.

Suddenly.

Zhang Yi jumped up, crossed several feet in the blink of an eye, and broke into the demon group.

From stillness to movement, as fast as thunder.

The left hand slashed continuously, as if it was holding an invisible blade. Amidst the "hissing" sound of cracking the air, the demons blocking the way in front were caught off guard and chopped into pieces.

Almost at the same time.

"Walk!"

Li Changan also raised his sword violently.

Yu Mei followed without hesitation.

The monster insects, which were already scarred, were not able to cope with this sudden attack, and they were immediately punched through.

then.

The Taoist priest broke through the encirclement and left, while the ranger stopped in front of the group of monsters.

There were no unnecessary actions or unnecessary conversations between the two parties.

Only in the moment when the wrong body passes by.

Zhang Yi's lips opened and closed slightly, but unfortunately his voice was murmured in the fishy wind and could not be heard clearly.

Li Changan paused slightly.

Then he fell silent and flew away.

…………

The rabbit rises and the falcon falls.

The situation changed in an instant.

The monsters and insects were indeed not as good as usual, and they were actually in a mess due to the unexpected incident.

So Zhang Yiyou had some free time and pulled off his tattered coat, revealing his left arm that was originally hidden in his sleeve... No! It can no longer be called an arm.

He was twisted and deformed from the elbow down.

The palm turned into a long hook with a sharp tip, and the forearm expanded and deformed into a knife shape, with concave and convex serrations on the edge. The whole body was dark and shiny, like a mantis forelimb made of black iron.

At this time.

The mantis sword arm waved again.

The sound of cracking the sky sounded again, and the invisible blade was thrown out, plowing shallow marks on the stone bricks of the long street, making an arc, and drawing a large circle, trapping all the monster insects and himself.

The monsters finally woke up from the chaos.

There are hundreds of words in the book, but in reality it only takes a few breaths.

The Taoist priest and Yu Mei’s backs are still in sight,

Naturally, the bug cubs would not just sit back and watch the two of them leave.

They swarmed forward, trying to avoid Zhang Yi, but they didn't expect that shallow scratch was like a chasm, or like an invisible wall built in the void, lying in front of them, unable to cross even half a step.

They finally realized: if they want to catch up with the Taoist priest and Yu Mei, they must first kill the ranger who is blocking the way!

On the other hand, look at Zhang Yi.

He had drawn his sword out of its sheath and held it in front of him.

The light of the sword is like snow, reflecting the eyebrows and eyes.

His voice was calm, word for word:

"This sword is two feet and seven inches long and weighs one pound and eighty taels. It was made into steel and quenched into a blade. In the autumn of the fourth year of Tianbao, I killed Langya Liu with one sword on the bank of the river, and then obtained it."

The words just fell out.

Suddenly he stepped forward, the blade was as powerful as thunder.

But when white insect blood splattered, a demon appeared in the empty space, staggered back, swayed, and fell to the ground.

And this sword seemed to give an order, and the demons came like a wave.

Zhang Yi was like a rock, firmly nailed to the spot.

The sharp teeth and claws cannot make him take a step back, and the magic and sorcery cannot make him move at all.

He just remained silent, swung the knife, and swung the knife again, killing one demon after another under the sharp blade.

But the monster is a monster after all.

When the ranger once again swung his sword straight at the side of the monster's neck, the monster's neck suddenly opened with a huge mouth.

A sonorous sound.
