Four of the ten people were killed at once, and the pressure on everyone suddenly eased. Gu Caiying smiled sweetly: "Junior Brother Li's swordsmanship is so powerful!"
Li Muchan smiled and said, "Is this the Sand Ghost?"
"Be careful of their hidden weapons!" Gu Caiying shouted.
The two opponents were not convinced and flew towards him. They suddenly flicked their hands and shot out several flying arrows from their sleeves at extremely fast speeds.
Li Muchan's sword light circled around and gathered them together like a magnet. Then he flicked the arrows and shot them back. This was the first time those people encountered such a situation, and they were immediately in a panic.
Li Muchan took the opportunity to step forward, his body like a ghost, his sword flashed a few times, the two sand ghosts paused, and then they fell down holding their throats.
His body flashed again, and he stepped behind the other two sand ghosts like a ghost. The sword light passed by, and the two of them fell to the ground, clutching their throats.
He flashed back to the original place. At this time, only two sand ghosts were still able to move, and the rest fell to the ground, dead.
Li Muchan's few blows not only scared the Sand Ghost, but also Gu Caiying and the others. They didn't expect his swordsmanship to be so powerful. Although he had learned it before, this time it was a real killing, and the impact was far from what it was before.
Only then did they truly feel the ruthlessness of Li Muchan's swordsmanship. They killed six sand ghosts in the blink of an eye. It was difficult for them to kill even one sand ghost.
The bodies of these sand ghosts are different from those of ordinary people. They are very tough, as if they have practiced horizontal kung fu. They are extremely durable. It is easy to fight them off, but difficult to kill them.
Every time the disciples of Guangfengxia encounter sand ghosts, they usually injure them, and then they escape. Moreover, they know a strange escape technique and dive into the desert, just like fish falling into water, freely.
Shuttle, they can't catch up even if they want to.
Therefore, although the strength of Kuangfeng Gorge is stronger than that of the Sand Ghosts, it is difficult to exterminate them. We can only take a defensive stance and cannot allow them to invade Kuangfeng Gorge and enter the land of Zhongzhou.
These sand ghosts are cruel and easy to kill. They do not regard Zhongzhou people as human beings and often treat them like meat and eat them. Therefore, Zhongzhou people hate them deeply.
Therefore, the people of Zhongzhou do not treat them as human beings. They call them sand ghosts and kill them without mercy. They can be said to be sworn enemies.
It's a pity that the disciples of Kuangfeng Gorge want to kill them all, but they are powerless. These sand ghosts have strange physiques, are resistant to beating and have strong vitality, as if they are unbeatable. Moreover, they have strange escape skills and are slippery. They will run away if they cannot be beaten.
, there is really no good way.
Those who can truly defeat the Sand Ghost need martial arts that far exceed theirs. It is impossible to be even stronger than them, unless there is a chance to join forces. Unfortunately, they are very cunning and do not give everyone a chance to encircle and annihilate them.
What's even more frightening is that they have a fierce temperament. Once they are injured and know that they will die, they often activate their ferocity and fight to the death. Moreover, they also have a secret technique that, once activated, can release all the remaining vitality.
It exploded, leaving no survivors within a two-foot radius.
The remaining two sand ghosts suddenly let out a scream, and then the flying sand flew up, and ten more sand ghosts emerged and rushed towards Li Muchan and the others.
Li Muchan sneered, and rushed out in a flash, floating like a ghost. With one sword strike, he never missed, and in the blink of an eye, he killed four more people.
Seeing that something was not going well, the other eight people roared, dived into the sand and disappeared.
Li Muchan narrowed his eyes slightly and pierced down with his sword. There was a muffled "bang" sound, yellow sand flew up, and a sand ghost came out, holding his throat and struggling in the air, as if fighting against invisible forces.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the sand ghost fell heavily to the ground. Li Muchan dodged at the same time, and thrust his long sword into the sand. There was another "bang" sound, which overlapped with the muffled sound when the sand ghost landed just now, and another sand ghost
It flew out, holding its throat and twisting in the air.
Li Muchan acted according to the law, flashed his body, and stabbed two more people under the sand. The rest of the sand ghosts had disappeared and did not appear again. They were obviously frightened.
Li Muchan slowly stood up straight and stretched out his hand to touch the sword. There was no blood on the sword.
Is this really a blood-drinking sword? Why didn't it touch the blood at all, but seemed to avoid it? He felt a faint sense of disgust.
"Junior Brother Li..." Gu Caiying looked at him blankly.
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Sister Gu, it's a pity that they escaped."
Gu Caiying shook her head and said solemnly: "Junior brother Li, your swordsmanship is indeed powerful!"
Li Muchan said: "How are these sand ghosts? Are they considered the strongest?"
Gu Caiying shook his head: "It doesn't matter. The sand ghosts become more powerful as we go forward. Those really powerful ones rarely come here and don't bother to do this."
Li Muchan sighed: "They are indeed powerful."
He could feel the tyranny of their bodies. The blood-drinking sword could cut iron like clay, but it was a bit laborious to stab their bodies. Their bodies seemed to have an invisible layer of armor, and their flesh and blood were so dense that it was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. The tip of the sword was always being cut.
Push out.
If it weren't for his amazing supernatural power, his internal strength would have been almost exhausted by thrusting out these swords in just one moment. This sand ghost would indeed not be easy to kill.
"Their physical strength exceeds human limits, and I don't know what kind of monsters they are!" Gu Caiying shook her head.
Zhong Ping chuckled and said: "Junior brother Li, good job, haha, fourteen military merits are equivalent to my one year's military merits! Not bad, not bad!"
Their military merits were not calculated per person, but as a team. Li Muchan killed fourteen sand ghosts in one go, and each of them had fourteen military merits.
Li Muchan knew this rule, so he killed the sand ghost without any scruples. He would not be suspected of being greedy for merit, and instead made everyone grateful.
Gu Caiying pursed her lips and smiled: "You have been supporting me for a year."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's a pity that we couldn't kill them all. This sand escape technique is really powerful!"
He has a keen sense that even if the Sand Ghost is under the desert, he can clearly feel it. Unless he is escaping and trying to approach quietly to plot, it is simply to die, which is no different from assassinating in night clothes during the day.
"Junior Brother Li, you can see through Sand Escape, your sense is really sharp!" Zhong Ping smiled and shook his head: "If it weren't for Junior Brother Li this time, we would really be in danger!"
Twenty sand ghosts were dispatched at once. These guys obviously planned to annihilate their own team. Although there was an emergency signal, colleagues would come to help soon. It was hard to say whether anyone would die at this time.
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled, and said: "Senior Sister Gu, are we going back?"
"Well, let's go back." Gu Caiying nodded and said with a smile: "Although I have an urge to explore outside and kill another group of sand ghosts, it's too dangerous, so forget it. I can get fourteen
I am content with my military exploits!"
"How about we explore another ten miles?" Zhong Ping said with a smile.
Gu Caiying was startled and said hurriedly: "Junior brother Zhong, don't be greedy. Who knows how many sand ghosts are out there?"
He looked at Li Muchan with admiration, but he couldn't say any flattery.
"Alas..., well, I have no choice but to give up on this good opportunity." Zhong Ping shook his head regretfully.
Li Muchan and others returned in the evening, entered the formation, and returned to the sect. They went to Tianshu Hall first, and when they passed through the martial arts training ground in front of Shenguang Hall, they caused an uproar from everyone.
Except for Gu Caiying, each of them had four heads tied around their waists. One head was placed in a small cloth bag, and four heads were held in four bags. They were very conspicuous as they walked around. Li Muchan had six heads on his waist.
It's even more conspicuous.
Seeing their appearance, everyone immediately gathered around them, not caring about practicing.
"Junior Brother Zhong, where did you pick up this head?" A middle-aged man snorted and shouted, "What good luck!"
Zhong Ping frowned and said, "Senior Brother Yang, what you said is wrong. This was not picked up, it was killed by us. It is genuine!"
As he spoke, he picked up the wooden bag on his waist, took out a head, and threw it casually. The middle-aged man named Yang reached out to take it, looked at it, and nodded: "That's true, he died today.
Looking at this, it seems very surprising!”
He looked at the expressions on the heads openly. The sand ghosts did not regard them as human beings, nor did they regard the sand ghosts as human beings. Looking at their heads was like looking at a pig's head, without any fear.
Zhong Ping laughed and said proudly: "They didn't expect to lose their lives in our hands!"
The middle-aged man surnamed Yang smiled and said: "Junior Brother Zhong, I still know how much money you have. Killing one or two sand ghosts is enough to break the sky. Why do you have so many businesses now?"
Zhong Ping waved his hand and smiled proudly: "Hey, this is not my skill. These sixteen sand ghosts were all killed by Junior Brother Li. Let's just get a big deal!"
"Junior Brother Li?" The middle-aged man surnamed Yang looked at Li Muchan.
Li Muchan made a splash at first, beating everyone to pieces and making them tremble with fear. Now he finally shows off his power and really kills the sand ghost.
They thought that Li Muchan could kill sand ghosts, but they didn't expect to kill fourteen sand ghosts in one go. This was really amazing. Fourteen sand ghosts were often enough for them to kill in a year.
Li Muchan clasped his fists and glared at Zhong Ping with some complaints. Zhong Ping chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Li asked us to help hide it along the way. I'm afraid it will be too conspicuous, but I think this is a good thing. The more sand ghosts we kill, the better we will be."
It’s so enjoyable, everyone is happy!”
Gu Caiying sighed: "Junior Brother Zhong, you are such a big talker. Okay, let's all go away. We are going to pay military merit!"
After she said that, Niao Pingping led the way, and Li Muchan followed closely under the fiery gazes of everyone. Zhong Ping shook his head with unfinished content, and followed him into the Tianshu Hall.
There is an Eight Immortals table in the middle of Tianshu Hall. There is an old man sitting behind the table, reading a book with gusto in his hand. He has a white beard and eyebrows and is thin and slender. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and looked at the five people who came in with a smile.
, nodded: "Xiao Yingzi, it seems that you have gained a lot from this trip."
"Uncle Bu, we have won fourteen military awards this time!" Gu Caiying said with a sweet smile and waved her hand. Zhong Ping took off the cloth bag from his waist and handed it to the table one by one. Li Muchan and others also put the heads on them.
The old man opened them one by one, took a few glances, and nodded: "Yes, they are all sand ghosts. Your military exploits this time are not small. You did a great job!"
"Uncle Bu, Junior Brother Li's swordsmanship is indeed excellent. Killing sand ghosts is like mowing grass. This time he killed all fourteen sand ghosts." Gu Caiying said.
"Well, this little guy is really rare." Master Bu nodded, looked at Li Muchan, and said with a smile: "Having such swordsmanship at such a young age, do you want anything?"
Li Muchan shook his head: "Not yet."
Uncle Bu smiled and said, "With your military exploits, you can get a lot of good things."
Li Muchan smiled and said: "Let's exchange it later."
"It's okay." Uncle Bu didn't force himself and said with a smile: "Lao Luo can be arrogant this time. Haha, little Yingzi, your father is going to be furious."
Gu Caiying giggled: "Feng Shui is changing. I keep trying to persuade dad, but he just doesn't listen and keeps causing trouble for Master Luo. Now retribution has finally come!"
"When Lao Gu heard what you said, he didn't know what to do with his anger." Master Bu burst out laughing.
Gu Caiying hummed: "Let dad remember the lesson this time, Uncle Bu, I want that spiritual pill!"
Uncle Bu smiled and said: "Qiling Pill, thirty military merits, can I give you that little bird?"
"Yes." Gu Caiying said with a smile, very satisfied.
Uncle Bu shook his head and said, "You are much better to your bird than your father!"
Gu Caiying wrinkled her nose and hummed: "Xiao Cui is much better than dad, at least he won't be angry with me all day long!"
"Haha..." Master Bu shook his head and laughed. Father and daughter were enemies, and no one could do anything about it. He got up and went upstairs. After a while, he threw a small bottle to Gu Caiying.
Gu Caiying happily took it and turned around and said: "Junior brother Li, thank you very much."
Li Muchan shook his head and smiled. Gu Caiying ran away quickly, leaving only the other four. Li Muchan wanted to say goodbye and leave first because he didn't want to exchange the money. Zhong Ping told him that he would treat him to dinner at noon tomorrow and go to Feishicheng nearby.
Li Muchan agreed, then left and went back to the small courtyard to adjust his breath. An hour later, he felt refreshed and left the small courtyard to go to Tianji Hall. It was getting late and the sun was setting.
Luo Heng was still dressed in white, with gray hair and beard. He was walking around the hall with his hands behind his back. When he saw him coming in, he hurriedly waved: "Hurry up next time!"
Li Muchan responded with a smile, came to the table and sat down. Luo Heng immediately asked: "I heard that your boy has won fourteen military awards, right?"
"Yes." Li Muchan nodded.
Luo Heng patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are really good at it!"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "It's just a fluke. The sand ghost was not prepared and I know how to use the sword. It won't be so easy next time."
"Well, it's best if you think so." Luo Heng nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that swordsmanship is indeed a powerful weapon to restrain the sand ghost."
Li Muchan shook his head: "These sand ghosts seem to be invulnerable. Thanks to my exceptional swordsmanship and ability to cut iron like clay, I can really kill them. Without special swordsmanship, it is difficult to kill them."
"That's it..." Luo Heng nodded slowly and said with a smile: "It seems that the request should be made to the Yunxiao Sect. Alas... we are not very good at dealing with the Yunxiao Sect!"
Li Muchan was surprised and said: "We, Kuangfeng Gorge and Yunxiao Sect, are not going to deal with each other?"
"Hmph! The Yunxiao Sect is in vain to be the best sect in the world, but it ignores the Sand Ghost. It really has no sense of responsibility. What's the use of being the best in the world!" Luo Heng lowered his face and scolded angrily.
Li Muchan said: "The Yunxiao Sect may have rules that prevent you from joining the world, right?"
Luo Heng curled his lips and said disdainfully: "What's the use of practicing martial arts if you don't live in the world? It's just a piece of rotten wood!... The rotten wood has some use. Apart from wasting food, what's the use for them!"
Li Muchan scratched his head, feeling a little confused. He hesitated and said, "Master, I want to join the Yunxiao Sect in the future. Can I do it?"
"Do you want to join the Yunxiao Sect?" Luo Heng frowned, looked him over, and hummed: "Do you want to learn more advanced swordsmanship?"
Li Muchan shook his head and said: "I heard that Yunxiao Sect has a great master. I want to meet the great master. I have never seen the great master since I was a child. If I do, it might be useful for my understanding."
"You are so ambitious..." Luo Heng pondered for a moment and said helplessly: "Although the people of the Yunxiao Sect are bastards, the martial arts of the Yunxiao Sect are indeed good. You might as well learn it."
Li Muchan was overjoyed. He didn't expect Luo Heng to be so reasonable.
Luo Heng was also quite pleased that this apprentice had a good character and did not deliberately conceal his thoughts. He spoke out in advance, which can be described as open and aboveboard.
He agreed to Li Muchan's request mostly because of this.
"But Wuji, I have a request!" Luo Heng snorted.
Li Muchan said: "Master, please speak."
Luo Heng said: "When you become a disciple of the Yunxiao Sect in the future, you cannot aloof from the world and ignore worldly affairs. At least you cannot ignore the affairs of Kuangfeng Gorge. You still have to be the master of the Tianji Palace!"
Li Muchan thought for a moment and said, "I'm just afraid that I can't help myself!"
Luo Heng snorted: "You have to agree to this no matter what!"
Li Muchan pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Yes, Master, I promise!"
"That's right!" Luo Heng laughed and said, "I finally found a successor like you. If you enter the Yunxiao Sect, what will happen to my Tianji Palace!"
The Tianji Palace is crucial to the Gale Gorge. Without the Tianji Palace and no one to maintain the formation, the protection of the entire Gale Gorge would be lost, which would have a huge impact.
Those sand ghosts have weird methods, and without the protection of formations, it is difficult to truly guard against them. Once they get into their den, it will be a serious crime.
Luo Heng muttered: "Yunxiao Sect will open its gate at the end of the year. If you want to enter, you will need more experience. With your current ability, although there is hope, you are not 100% sure."
Li Muchan stared at him. He knew nothing about the Yunxiao Sect. He only knew that it was difficult to get in, and he had to take one in a hundred thousand or a million, or even not take it.
Luo Heng said: "Take your time, there is still half a year. Kill more sand ghosts and you will always gain something."
Li Muchan nodded and responded, and the two began to eat.
After eating, Luo Heng looked at his drawing of the formation talisman. After these few days of practice, he was able to make the formation talisman easily and freely. He had made great progress, as you can tell by looking at the corners of Luo Heng's mouth.
Li Muchan was idle for the next few days, focusing on the cultivation of formations. It was considered a retreat. He did not go to the training ground, which was quite mysterious.
Early that morning, Gu Caiying knocked on the door outside, and Li Muchan opened the door himself.
Gu Caiying's influence in the Gale Gorge is huge. The key is that her secret technique is extremely good. Even if she loses her breath, it only takes less than half an hour for her to save her.
If you offend Gu Caiying, you offend the entire Gale Wind Gorge. You really can't afford to offend him. Li Muchan is extremely cautious.
There was another person following Gu Caiying. Li Muchan raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Miss He?!"
He didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, it was He Lizhu from Baiyun Sect.
