A large number of soldiers surrounded the place, all wearing iron armor and holding weapons.
"Get them all!" the black-faced man shouted majestically.
Chang Jian seemed to feel that it was time for him to show off, and stepped forward with his head held high.
"I am the county magistrate appointed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I advise you to give up resistance, so that you can have a chance of survival.
All evil will eventually be punished by justice, and I am the embodiment of justice."
But this call made these monks laugh.
One of the monks said: "You are really digging your own grave."
"Boom!"
Suddenly several bells rang in the temple.
Immediately afterwards, those soldiers wearing iron armor seemed to have suddenly lost their minds.
Under the shroud of moonlight, their faces gradually became extremely pale, some panted uneasily, and some raised their heads high and neighed.
At the foot of the mountain, villagers from several villages took steps towards the temple.
"This...this is..."
Li Ping'an's heart sank.
This is probably because after the Thousand-legged Centipede was completely possessed and then suppressed by Buddhism, it became a weapon controlled by them.
The basket seemed to be too big.
The air around me seemed to be frozen, and even the wind seemed to be unable to blow.
The moon moved quietly behind the dark clouds, like an ominous premonition, waiting for a sudden outbreak.
"Is this the reinforcement you are looking for?" Li Ping'an joked.
The expression of the black-faced man became even darker.
"Lao Niu, take them into the house!" Li Ping'an growled.
The old cow mooed and spread his hooves.
He picked up Chang Jian's family of three and the girl in black, and ducked into the house.
The black-faced man was so angry that he shouted: "Come on, you bastards."
Having said that, he actually took the lead in attacking.
He punched out and slammed one of the soldiers to the ground.
A big hole was made and dust flew up.
The surrounding soldiers rushed forward at once.
The black-faced man's fists and kicks made bursts of sound, and the soldiers were rolled around like rubber balls.
However, the injuries were enough to kill an ordinary person ten times.
It fell on these soldiers, but it didn't seem to hurt or itch.
It was just that he was knocked farther away, or his head was smashed to pieces, and he quickly got up again.
The black-faced man muttered to himself.
Simply, grab a soldier.
With a low roar, he tore it in half.
But the soldier who was torn to pieces was still rushing towards him vigorously.
Li Pingan frowned slightly.
Is this the result of the complete fusion of the Thousand-legged Centipede?
These are just ordinary soldiers.
How terrible it would be if it really parasitized a monk.
Suddenly Li Ping'an remembered what the happy big boy had said about the Thousand-legged Centipede.
The presence of a thousand-legged centipede proves that there must be a thousand-legged centipede king in this place.
The black-faced man saw that these monsters were as difficult to deal with as dog-skin plaster, and he became furious.
He reached out to grab the halberd behind him, but was grabbed by Li Pingan.
The black-faced man turned his head and asked in confusion: "Why did you grab the handle of my halberd again?"
Li Ping'an ignored his harsh words and said, "I'll leave this to you."
After that, he used his ability to shrink into an inch and escaped from the encirclement.
The black-faced man was stunned, thinking that this guy might have run away alone.
But then I thought about it, the other party really had no obligation to fight alongside him.
"That's it!"
The black-faced man waved his halberd.
The halberd was like a windmill in his hand, making a "whirring" sound.
Although the soldiers were brave and not afraid of death, they could not get close at all.
If you take one step closer, you will be knocked back more than ten feet away.
...........
A monk tried to stop Li Pingan.
Li Ping'an ignored him at all, and Feijian Xiaoyu stabbed out eight swords in the blink of an eye.
The monks fell into a pool of blood one after another.
At this time, Li Ping'an noticed a young monk sticking his head out from the side.
This young monk is wearing a green cloth cassock and has a delicate face.
He was carrying a cloth bag more than five feet long, and he seemed to be taking advantage of the chaos to escape.
Li Ping'an thought of the young monk Huineng who the girl said gave her the news.
Immediately, it fell in front of him.
"You are Huineng!"
The little monk was startled, and then nodded.
"Exactly...exactly."
Li Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, "I'm here to help you. Do you know what's important about this temple? Except for the abbot, few people are allowed to enter."
Huineng nodded, "Yes, yes! Come with me."
Deep in the hall, there is a long corridor.
There were several glazed lamps with a bright pearl embedded under the lamp, which illuminated it brightly.
There was an old man sitting in the hall, facing the Buddhas.
"This is our abbot." Huineng said in a low voice.
The abbot is wearing a dark yellow cassock, the material is of excellent quality.
He looked pampered, but his eyes were very calm.
A pair of big ears with high lobes, illuminated by bright pearls.
His body seemed to be covered with a layer of Buddha's light, and he looked like a living Buddha.
Seeing Li Ping'an suddenly barging in, he didn't show any surprise.
"Amitabha, donor, would you like to hear my story?"
The abbot's voice gave people a feeling of compassion, which made people calm down easily, as if they could not refuse what he said.
"I don't want to!"
With a stroke of the staff and knife, a powerful and thick aura surged through the hall.
The abbot's head fell to the ground.
Little monk Huineng blinked and froze on the spot.
"There's so much nonsense, I'm in a hurry."
Li Ping'an has already sensed the movement underground.
Huineng quickly came to his senses, seemed to be very familiar with this place, and activated the tunnel switch.
"Don't move here."
Li Ping'an gave instructions and ducked into the tunnel.
Huineng looked at the abbot's head and stared blankly.
Thousand-legged centipedes are terrifying creatures.
But at the same time, it also saved the life of the abbot Grandpa.
Famine is a common occurrence in this world.
In a famine, people are either eaten or cannibalized.
The abbot's ancestors relied on this kind of thousand-legged centipede as food to maintain their lives.
For this reason, the Thousand-legged Centipede was worshiped as a god by his family.
Their mission is to ensure that the Thousand-legged Centipede can survive and reproduce.
There is only one way to make it reproduce, and that is to sacrifice humans.
Hui Neng clasped his hands together and murmured: "Uncle, have a good journey, all this should be over."
............
Soon, Li Pingan met the huge Thousand-legged Centipede King.
Black armor, six wings, as huge as a big snake.
Hovering in mid-air in the cave.
no nonsense,
Li Ping'an took a sip of wine and exhaled.
Holding the handle of the staff knife, he drew an arc in the void.
The Thousand-legged Centipede King ducked sideways.
A deep ravine appeared on the cave wall, and black gravel splashed everywhere.
The Thousand-legged Centipede King drew an arc in the air, like a bolt of lightning.
Li Ping'an didn't feel much pressure,
Sure enough, as the happy big boy said, the Thousand-legged Centipede is not very powerful.
Find the right moment, jump up high, and strike down with a knife.
[Tingfeng Sword Technique 93%]
The rotating cold light enveloped a seven-foot radius,
Wherever it passed, the ground seemed to have been scratched by a huge sharp blade.
The cold light instantly arrived in front of the Thousand-legged Centipede King, cutting it in half with an incredible sense of beauty.
The target is not its body, but the inner elixir in its body.
The Thousand-legged Centipede King's huge body fell heavily to the ground, and a new problem followed.
It's so big, how can I take it with me?
...........
The early morning light slowly fell, and the air was filled with the fragrance of bitter earth.
Those who had been parasitized by the Thousand-legged Centipede and had not gone too far gradually woke up.
The rest of them left this world completely, and the thousand-legged centipede came out of their bodies before they died, seemingly wanting to return to their mother.
The black-faced man was holding a long halberd and breathing heavily.
it's over?
Chang Jian and his wife walked out of the room, and everyone seemed to have been reborn.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chang Jian quickly calmed down.
Find survivors, notify the prefect, and report to the court!
There is such a big thing happening in the territory here, and the court still doesn't know anything about it.
"By the way, where is that gentleman?"
Only then did Chang Jian remember that he still didn't know the name of the blind man who saved them.
The dark-faced man shook his head.
Chang Jian looked at the girl again.
The girl also had a look on her face, "I only know that he is a top assassin."
"assassin?"
"Um."
The girl nodded solemnly.
............
Waves of fluttering breeze gently turned up the clothes of pedestrians.
The soft leaves with dew fluttered gently, and there was a slight rustling sound in the wilderness.
“I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!”
Li Ping'an and Lao Niu each had a knife and were cutting up the centipede.
"Lao Niu, let's make a fortune!"
Lao Niu: "Moo!!"
