The person who sent out the thunderous arrow was none other than Zhao Shu. He was seen holding a Qingxuan pen, and a few rays of lightning wrapped around his fingertips due to the hasty execution of the spell.
Zhao Shui had noticed before that Luo Xixian's sword energy was weak, and it was obviously difficult to hold on, so he took a flying step, threw away the other soldiers, and rushed into the Sanniu Pit alone. Fortunately, he rescued Luo Xixian in time.
"Careful! He's not dead—"
Just as Zhao Mian breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Luo Xixian shouting that Dongzhang Sanren had been hit hard by a thunderous arrow, and it still hit important places such as the temple, leaving only a scorch mark, and even knocked the person unconscious.
Neither can be done.
Although Dongzhang Sanren did not fall down, he was struck by the thunderous arrows, which made his mind and ears tremble. The fire energy in his body almost caused an out-of-order riot. This made him even more angry. He turned to look at Zhao Shu, and the seven orifices spewed fire towards him.
Zhao Shu was shocked to see this, and quickly raised his left hand. The air restraint talisman that had been prepared in his palm flashed:
"Certainly!"
However, Dongzhang Sanren's pace showed no sluggishness at all, and only a ball of sparks burst out from the flames on his body. He easily broke through the restraining power, and his body combined with the flame flow fell like a meteor.
Zhao Miao was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. The finger gestures on his hands changed, and the markings and seals between his eyebrows flew out, transforming into the true form of a divine tiger, which was worthy of colliding with Dongzhang Sanren.
The claws of the divine tiger in its true form were sharp, and he bit into Dongzhang Sanren's shoulder. He roared, his whole body became angry, his arms spread out, and the two fire dragons danced wildly in all directions, forcing others to be unable to get close.
Zhao Mi hurriedly avoided it, but the four monks from the Huaiying Hall behind him had also caught up. He took out a string of eight light-containing beads from his arms and shouted: "Jie Sanchuan Water Waiting Formation!"
The monks did not dare to hesitate, stood in position, and chanted a mantra: "The blue waves are vast, the border is bordered by fusang. The iron-spine horned dragons, four majestic ones. The head of the Xuan altar, the roaring song cave seal!"
At the same time, Zhao Shu threw the luminous beads high into the sky, and the strings of beads flew in the air, as if a doorway to the vast ocean had been opened, and surging water vapor accumulated in it. Zhao Shu suddenly felt a huge pressure on himself, and had no choice but to do his best.
Use all your strength to preserve your spiritual energy.
Dongzhang Sanren waved his arms about the fire dragon, wrapped it around the true form of the divine tiger, and smashed it into light dust all over the sky. At the same time, a green water dragon rushed out from the mid-air door, and a veritable dam-breaking torrent collided head-on with the flaming figure.
Dongzhang Sanren.
In front of the jet of torrent, Dongzhang Sanren had no time to dodge and deal with it. The flames all over his body were extinguished instantly, and even the steaming white mist was blown away by the water dragon torrent. Dongzhang Sanren's entire body was blasted hundreds of feet by the water dragon, and he rushed out of Sanniu Pit.
There was no trace at all.
"receive!"
Zhao Shu shouted and immediately removed the spell. The water dragon lost its control and exploded into countless water droplets, which turned into a torrential rain directly in the Sanniu Pit.
Including Zhao Shu, the monks at the Huaiying Hall all looked pale, as if they were seriously ill. It looked like they had spent too much energy on performing the spells.
"Oops, I almost couldn't hold it in." Zhao Shu gasped and came to Luo Xixian, and joked with an ugly look on his face: "Sword Master Luo, please say something before you die!"
Luo Xixian was lying on the ground with all his limbs, soaked by the rain: "Do you, Master Zhao, want to drown me? You actually used the Sanchuan Water Formation? Aren't you afraid of draining your true energy?"
"That shirtless guy is too angry. If you don't pour cold water on him, he won't be able to suppress it..." Zhao Shu took out a bamboo tube from the bamboo basket, took a sip himself, and then handed it to Luo Xixian: "This is the preparation before departure.
There is plenty of food and water left in the high hills, drink it!”
Luo Xixian stood up and took a few sips. He couldn't help but choke and cough: "Spicy! Why does it smell like alcohol?"
"I just used wine to prepare the medicine. If you can't refine the medicine on your own, the alcohol can help dissipate it." Zhao Shu handed the bamboo tube to the other monks, then took out the elixir for replenishing the internal energy from the bamboo box and distributed it among them.
Everyone.
"Didn't you encounter the ambush arranged by Chi Yundu?" Luo Xixian adjusted his breath for a moment, stood up and retrieved the sword, and asked.
"We met, but we are watching from heaven and earth, how can they hide?" Zhao Shu picked up a string of light beads that fell to the ground. After the spell was performed, it became dim and unclear, cast a layer of gloom, and the energy inside was clever.
The rhyme has disappeared, and the appearance is worse than ordinary pearls.
"Ordinary thieves are nothing to worry about, but those Chiyundu demons are very extraordinary." Luo Xixian came to a high place and looked at it. Most of the thieves below had fled, and the remaining ones fell to the ground and were wailing. They were being stabbed one by one by the imperial officers and soldiers.
Killed, the war is basically over.
"We just grabbed one." Zhao Shu said with his fingers: "In order to save you this time, I first used a set of five qi restraining talismans, a string of light-containing beads that have been refined, and a pot of Gaoqiu's remaining grain water.
, hundreds of golden armor talismans need to be sacrificed again, and I won’t count the other scattered ones.”
"Master Zhao!" Luo Xixian laughed angrily: "Do you need to be so fussy? How can there be no waste in fighting?"
Zhao Shu pointed at Luo Xixian: "Tell me, are you trying to win military glory, so you took the risk of chasing the demon into the Three Niu Pit?"
Luo Xixian said firmly: "So what?"
"Have you ever thought that in order to save you, not only the thousands of us, but also those in Yanze City are at risk!" Zhao Miao said in a serious tone: "Not to mention the bandits calling for reinforcements at Sanniukeng.
They still have a large number of people roaming around Xingluo County, ready to raid Yanze City at any time while our elite soldiers are leaving, what do you think we should do?!"
Luo Xixian was speechless for a moment, and Zhao Shu twisted the hem of his soaked sleeves: "I still remember General Wei told you not to pursue too far. I guess he expected this. Fortunately, there are other restaurants in the city.
The monk, Mr. Liang of the Chongxuan Hall, no matter how incoherent he is, if the bandits attack the city on a large scale, he will probably take action."
"I...I lost my mind." Luo Xixian did not look at Zhao Shu directly.
"I know, you want to take advantage of the bandit suppression to get more credit." Zhao Shu said: "But this is a battlefield after all, and you should know the dangers better than me..."
"Okay, stop talking." Luo Xixian interrupted Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu was about to speak when he suddenly remembered Xin Shunying's warning and had to suppress his unhappiness, and the two of them fell into silence.
…
The battle is over, and the soldiers in Sanniu Pit have also been rescued. During these days of siege, Luo Xixian's 500 soldiers and horses have lost nearly 200 people, and almost all of them are injured. Even Luo Xixian has exhausted his energy, both inside and outside.
The injury requires treatment.
"We can't stay here for a long time." After cleaning up the battlefield, General Xiao Wei said to Zhao Shui: "We came to Sanniukeng this time. We were lightly packed and simple, and we didn't bring much supplies. If there are more thieves and bandits surrounding us,
It’s blocked, I’m afraid the situation is not good.”
"Leave immediately!" Zhao Shu also understood the stakes: "I just found out that the evil spirits near Sanniukeng appear at night to harass them. I'm worried that although the bandits are defeated now, they will not be able to turn around if the monks from Chiyundu gather around them.
In the future, we will be able to gather a crowd to besiege you."
When Luo Xixian and others were trapped in Sanniu Pit, they would encounter evil spirits every night. The evil spirits were roughly humanoid and covered with hair. They not only commanded a group of walking corpses, but also held skeletons and fired will-o'-the-wisps to kill the soldiers. Ordinary people were burned by the will-o'-the-wisps.
, the skin and flesh were not burned, but were robbed of life, turning into a mummy in an instant, and would be driven by evil spirits to turn against each other.
This kind of monsters in human form have always been difficult to deal with. They no longer act solely on instinct. They use strange techniques and drive corpses, often in groups.
Luo Xixian originally wanted to directly kill the long-haired demon who ordered the zombies, but the opponent avoided fighting several times and took advantage of the thick fog at night to hide, which in turn hindered his own soldiers.
Although Zhao Shui also practiced the magic method of controlling evil, "The Hidden Text of the Divine Tiger", he still couldn't help but think of Mr. Liang from Chongxuan Hall. If he had summoned the generals to deal with the evil walking corpses, the matter would be much easier to handle.
Already.
Zhao Shu was discussing marching arrangements with General Xiao Wei when he heard a sound of scolding and scolding not far away. Zhao Shu pushed aside the crowd and saw Luo Xixian punching and kicking the captured Chiyundu monk.
"Stop fighting!" Zhao Shu went up and pulled Luo Xixian away: "We still want to find out about Chiyundu from him, so don't beat him to death."
Luo Xixian threw Zhao Shu away, pointed at the Chiyundu monk, and said angrily: "This is the monster who burned a dozen brothers to death in a fire the day before yesterday! If I don't kill him, I will remove his hands and feet and let him eat enough.
suffering!"
Zhao Shu glanced at the monk. His fingers and hands had been beaten with a melon hammer so that the muscles and bones were broken and deformed. His hamstrings were also broken. His cheeks were covered with purple palm prints. His left eye was beaten and swollen. Apparently, Luo Xixian and others had beaten him.
The soldiers were beaten, and the originally clean scarlet robe was now torn into rags, making him extremely miserable.
"Okay, now is not the time to make him suffer." Zhao Shu used a Qingxuan pen to draw a restraining talisman on the monk's throat, and at the same time said to him: "I advise you not to seek short-sightedness, everyone is a cultivator.
It’s not unusual for a successful person to use any means. Telling you the news about Chiyundu will save you some minor suffering, and I will try my best to save your life."
After Zhao Mi finished speaking, he pulled off the opponent's gag. Unexpectedly, the monk Chiyundu spat blood on Zhao Mi's face. When Luo Xixian and the surrounding soldiers saw this, they shouted and swarmed forward, using all kinds of heavy fists and kicks to greet him.
.
Zhao Miao's face was covered with blood, and he stood there without saying a word. General Xiao Wei walked over quickly, frowned at the soldiers and shouted: "Stop it!!"
After all, General Xiao Wei is the commander-in-chief of the army. No one dares not to listen to what he says: "I don't have time for you to fool around now, so pack up your armor and get ready to go!"
The soldiers obeyed the order, but spat a few mouthfuls of thick phlegm at the Chiyundu monk, which was an extremely humiliating act.
"It's a joke for Zhao Fu." General Xiao Wei said: "These soldiers don't know etiquette. I will discipline them strictly after they return."
"It's okay." Zhao Mi numbly wiped his face, but it seemed that he couldn't wipe it clean.
…
Dongzhang Sanren opened his heavy eyelids, lowered his head and saw that there were more than a dozen silver needles stuck in his chest, trembling slightly.
"woke up?"
A gentle voice came from the side, and Dongzhang Sanren saw a man from the corner of his eye, wearing a leaf-green brocade robe and a mask, holding a book in his hand, sitting under an oil lamp.
"Mr. Yangliu?" Dongzhang Sanren felt extremely weak and was as angry as a thread when speaking.
"More than half of your body's muscles, bones, and internal organs are broken into pieces. If you hadn't relied on the flame essence to transform your body, I'm afraid you would have been shattered into pieces." Yang Liujun closed the scroll: "I have temporarily protected the flow of Qi for you, but in a hurry
It won’t get better.”
"How could this happen?" Dongzhang Sanren was puzzled.
"Don't ask me, I don't know more than you." Yang Liujun said: "According to the pre-planned plan, you set up an ambush at Sanniukeng. I personally led people to Yanze City. Although I failed to capture the city wall, I still tried to test it.
Exceeding the strength of the monks of Chongxuan Hall."
At this time, another person approached. He had a long beard and chest, dressed as a Taoist, and held a triangular flag. He said: "Mr. Yangliu, there is news from Yanze City that the reinforcements have returned to the city, and Zhao Shu is indeed among them. In addition, Sang Sang
Hua Zi was captured alive."
"Capture alive? Ha." Yang Liujun's tone was unpredictable: "It's Zhao Shu again. Why does he capture our people every time he makes a move?"
The long-bearded Taoist bowed his head and said: "It was my poor arrangement. After the camp caught fire, the soldiers fled in panic. I had to let Sang Huazi go out to fight alone, which made him fall into siege."
"Forget it, I can't blame it all on you." Yang Liujun sighed and said: "These bandits in Xingluo County lack training and only know how to rob homes and homes. If they are allowed to let go and fight with the officers and soldiers, they will just run away or collapse at the first contact.
"
Taoist Changxu asked: "Mr. Yangliu, how come Zhao Shui is also among the reinforcements going to Sanniukeng? Didn't you receive news before that he is still in seclusion at Tiegong Temple to refine weapons?"
"I'm afraid this Zhao Shu has already guessed that we have deployed people in Yanze City." Yang Liujun tapped the scroll with his finger: "Bai Zhangqi, you send a letter to Yanze City asking Fang Kui not to take the initiative to summon you in the near future, so as not to be exposed.
.”
"yes."
Yang Liujun shook his head and sighed: "It seems that Ding Maocai and other casual cultivators still can't trust him. Once he is caught, he will probably divulge all the information in order to save his life. But this Zhao Shu is also very powerful. He guessed Yanze City so quickly.
We have internal support, otherwise we would not deliberately release false news."
Bai Zhangqi said cautiously: "Mr. Yangliu, do you think too highly of Zhao Shu? In the final analysis, he is just a talisman official in the Huaiying Hall. Among the monks sent by the Huaxu court, Liang Shuo of the Chongxuan Hall is clearly the most important.
awesome."
"Don't worry, when the divine sword is forged, Liang Shuo will be the first person to sacrifice the sword." Yang Liujun sighed and said: "There are too many people like Liang Shuo in Huaxu Kingdom. No matter how many deaths there are, it is not a pity.
. But it’s Zhao Shu... I hope I can bring him to Chiyundu to participate in the righteous cause."
Dongzhang Sanren opened his mouth and said: "Zhao Shu... is that kid wearing green clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on his back?"
"It seems that someone has personally experienced Zhao Shu's ability." Yang Liujun asked: "How is it? Does this young man satisfy Brother Dongzhang?"
"If it's one-on-one, I can burn him to ashes in half a quarter of an hour!" Dongzhang Sanren roared. This affected his injury and he frowned in pain.
Yang Liujun asked back: "Why do I want to fight with you? Doesn't it mean that you are in such a predicament that Zhao Shu is smart enough?"
The San people in Dongzhang were speechless, and Bai Zhangqi asked: "Then do we want to rescue Sang Huazi?"
"Logically speaking, Sang Huazi is trapped in the enemy camp and has already thought of sacrificing his life." Yang Liujun sighed and said: "But we will not let our comrades sacrifice and remain indifferent. You don't need to interfere in this matter. I will go to Yanze myself.
