A sharp and miserable scream was faintly transmitted into the cabin. Ni Kun, who was studying alchemy in the secret room, opened his eyes and listened carefully, and heard an explosion from outside.
A series of screams followed, and the ship beneath me shook violently, as if it had been hit by strong winds and waves.
"what happens?"
Just when he was wondering, Zhao Xiulin's solemn voice came from outside the secret room door:
"My lord, there are soldiers attacking the tribute ship and they have already boarded the deck!"
Rogue cultivators attack?
Ni Kun was surprised:
This place is only thousands of miles away from Fumiao Mountain and is still within the core sphere of influence of the Xianyin Sect. How could such a good man dare to rob a tribute ship under the banner of the Xianyin Sect?
He stood up, opened the door to the secret room, pulled up his hood to cover his head, revealing only a corner of his pale and cold chin, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Go out and have a look."
Zhao Xiulin was also about to go out to check the situation, so she nodded in response, straightened her back and walked in front. Ni Kun followed suit, following closely behind her like a loyal protector.
The two people left the cabin and came to the railing of the ship's corridor. They looked down at the deck and saw a large hole about ten feet in diameter opened on the deck. The area around the big hole was filled with broken and charred corpses.
There were two more ugly-looking black monks with needle-like black beards, who looked like twin brothers. They were standing by the big hole, facing the siege of Xiaoyue's imperial army with ease.
One of the monks in black, wielding a black flying fork, easily intercepted Han Bin's green flying sword and said with a strange smile:
"Second brother, please be gentle. This ship full of treasures belongs to us. If it is accidentally destroyed, it will be our brother who will suffer the loss."
Another monk in black laughed and said:
"Don't worry, brother. To deal with these useless snacks, even 30% of our efforts are considered redundant. We won't use too much force at all!"
As he spoke, he activated a black gold flywheel to intercept the magic weapon attacks of Lu Xiangmei and Liu Hai like a game, and at the same time released black fire, burning the talisman arrows shot by the imperial guards into ashes in the air.
From time to time, a stream of black fire would pop up and fall into the Forbidden Army formation. There would be a huge explosion immediately, and three or five Forbidden Army soldiers wearing talisman armor could be blown to pieces at the same time.
Although the five hundred Xiaoyue Kingdom's ship-protecting imperial troops on the tribute ship are not monks, but ordinary warriors, their equipment is not bad.
When forming a formation, the body-protecting auras emitted by the talisman armors on the Imperial Guards are connected together, which is enough to withstand the magic weapon attacks of the monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The talisman arrows fired by five hundred powerful crossbows in turn can also attack Qi Refining.
The mid-term monks pose a threat.
However, such strength was vulnerable to the black-clothed monk.
Even if the monk in black with the Black Gold Flywheel was multitasking, while suppressing Lu Xiangmei and Liu Hai, he could easily intercept the rain of arrows in the air, cast black fire at will, break through the aura of the talisman armor, and continuously kill the Imperial Army soldiers.
Seeing the battle situation on the deck clearly, Zhao Xiulin couldn't help but condensed her expression and whispered:
"The two people who came here are both foundation-building monks! Although they are at the same level as Han Bin and are both in the early stage of foundation-building, their fighting skills are much stronger than Han Bin's, and their magical weapons are also spiritual weapons, which are quite powerful!"
After all, Zhao Yaonv is the direct princess of the Qianye Kingdom who was born into a royal family. Although her cultivation level is not high, her eyesight is not bad.
Ni Kunze had a thought in his mind: The foundation-building monks were blocking the road and robbing?
Although there are a lot of treasures on the tribute ship, most of them are mediocre quality materials for weapon refining, clothing making, and talisman making. Even if there is a finished elixir, it is not worth the risk of offending the Xianyin Sect for two foundation-building monks.
Come to rob?
These two foundation-building monks arrived at a strange place!
At this moment, the monk in black who was using the flying cross saw Zhao Xiulin on the ship's roof. His eyes suddenly lit up and he licked his lips:
"Is this the person the employer wants to kill? Hey, this girl is so delicate and fresh, wouldn't it be a pity to kill her like this?"
During her ten years in Death Valley, Zhao Xiulin once became pale and thin.
But after leaving the Black Death Valley, with the monk's strong recovery power and the supplement of spiritual rice, spiritual flesh and spiritual elixir, in just over ten days, she had returned to her former snow-white, pink, delicate and charming beauty.
Because he also practices body-building exercises, his body shape is more perfect than before, and his charm is even more attractive than it was ten years ago, making him extremely coveted.
And hearing that his eldest brother coveted the enchantress, the monk in black who commanded the flywheel couldn't help shouting:
"Brother, that's the little witch from the Xianyin sect. I'm afraid we, brothers, can't bear it! We'd better kill her!"
The monk in black who made the flying cross laughed strangely:
"What are you afraid of? We, the Black Flame Twin Demons, have no taboos. This little witch is only in the late stage of Qi refining. Her cultivation has been restricted. Why are we afraid that she will squeeze us into adulthood? It's not too late to kill her after she's disabled. The employer won't do it.
Opinions!”
After listening to the conversation between the two, Zhao Xiulin immediately understood that the two foundation-building monks who called themselves "Black Flame Twin Evils" did not come specifically to rob, but were hired by someone to deal with her.
!
As for who their employer is...
Besides Qi Lingyun, who "a gentleman takes revenge not later than ten years, and a cultivator takes revenge not later than a hundred years", who else could be there?
At the moment, Zhao Xiulin transmits to Ni Kun:
"My lord, can I use the talisman?"
The situation on the ship was already clear.
The monk with the black flying cross didn't seem to be serious at all, but he suppressed Han Bin until he was stunned, his face turned red, and he couldn't speak.
The monk who commanded the Wujin Flywheel also easily beat up Lu Xiangmei, Liu Hai, and four to five hundred forbidden troops.
With the strength of these two people, if they let go of their hands and feet, they would be able to kill Han Bin and the others in just a moment.
But since their real target is Zhao Xiulin, it is impossible for Zhao Yaonv to sit back and watch Han Bin and others be beheaded.
We must take advantage of the time when Han Bin and others can barely contain these two people, and take decisive action to break the deadlock.
It's just that Zhao Xiulin's talisman has long been renamed Ni. If she wants to use it now, she must first apply for Ni Kun's permission.
Of course Ni Kun had no objection to this and nodded slightly:
"Okay, use the talisman to fight quickly."
Ni Kun knew that things today would not be so simple.
Since the Black Flame Twin Demons were hired by Qi Lingyun, there is a high possibility that Qi Lingyun would be peeping nearby.
The pair of killers, the Black Flame Twin Demons, were probably just cannon fodder hired by Qi Lingyun to consume Zhao Xiulin's talisman.
When Zhao Yaonv exhausts the power of the talisman, Qi Lingyun will probably show up and end up.
But despite this, the talisman must be released.
Now use the talisman to kill the two black flames, and then you only have to deal with Qi Lingyun alone.
If you are reluctant to part with the talisman and wait until the Black Flame Twin Demons kill Han Bin and others, you may face three foundations soon.
After Ni Kun agreed, Zhao Xiulin said nothing, and with a thought, she took out a three-inch long, one-inch wide, pure silver talisman from the storage ring, like a silver foil talisman.
