Chapter 427: People's calculations between the mountains and forests
The two followed the sound and soon saw a pile of corpses in the forest. There were about five or six of them. They all had blood holes in their chests and looked miserable.
Chen Chao knelt down to take a look, shook his head and said, "They all died after their hearts and livers were ripped out by monsters."
Nanshan Maitreya looked solemn and said: "The demon king was seriously injured and needed blood essence to heal his wounds. The hearts and minds of these monks are a great tonic for him."
Having said this, Nanshan Maitreya said in a deep voice: "The situation is not good now. If there are still monks whose hearts and livers are eaten by him, his injuries may be reversed, and even a poor monk will not be able to subdue him."
Already."
Chen Chao raised his head and said seriously: "Then we should find him as soon as possible and kill him as soon as possible."
Nanshan Maitreya nodded, but then smiled bitterly and said: "These monks fight on their own, and they won't tell us if they find the traces of the Demon King. With just the two of us, if we want to find him in this huge mountain forest, I'm afraid it will be too late."
It’s a bit more difficult.”
Chen Chao remained silent.
Nanshan Maitreya was in trouble. After a while, he took out a string of Buddhist beads from his arms and said: "The only plan now is that we split up to look for it. You take this thing with you. If you find any trace of the demon king, inject some energy into it."
That’s it, the poor monk can come immediately. If the poor monk discovers the traces of the demon king, he will inform you immediately.”
Chen Chao took the beads and before he could say anything, Nanshan Maitreya sighed and said, "That demon king is very advanced. Don't resist. Once you find him, inform the poor monk as soon as possible."
Chen Chao nodded, turned around and walked in a certain direction. Nanshan Maitreya smiled slightly and walked in another direction.
After kidnapping a silly boy to serve as his pawn, Nanshan Maitreya was in a very good mood. The demon king was seriously injured now, so it must be the time when the monk's blood was most needed. After this boy was alone, he would naturally attract the demon king's attention even more.
When Chen Chao encounters the demon king, in fact, regardless of whether he pours Qi into the string of beads, he can immediately determine the demon king's location. When the time comes, he only needs to rush over and kill the demon king.
The horn is naturally in his pocket.
Thinking of this, Nanshan Maitreya even wanted to thank the sloppy Taoist priest for his unknown whereabouts, otherwise he would have had to plot against this guy who was more thoughtful than him.
"This demon horn should be in the poor monk's pocket."
Nanshan Maitreya narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
…
…
In fact, there have been several situations in the mountains and forests where monks encountered the demon king. However, most of the monks felt that the demon king was seriously injured and could handle it themselves. Furthermore, for the sake of the demon horn, they were not willing to let others know the traces of the demon king.
Therefore, after the Demon King took action several times, although some monks discovered traces of the Demon King's appearance, they still did not notify others.
In addition, every time the Demon King attacks, he always looks for low-level monks, so more and more people die.
Xu Bai and Jiang Ying were sword cultivators. They only knew how to use swords and were not very proficient in other Taoist arts. Therefore, although they were at a high level, they still failed to find the trace of the demon king in the first place.
After hearing the monk's scream in the forest, he immediately rushed to the place where the sound came from with his sword, but was still a step too late and only saw corpses on the ground.
Jiang Ying frowned and made a quick decision, "Husband, let's go separate ways and go find the demon king."
Xu Bai shook his head, "Although the demon king was seriously injured, I'm afraid he has recovered a lot now. I don't worry about you alone."
Jiang Ying said firmly, "After I find him, I won't take action. I will tell you his whereabouts first. When you arrive, we will join forces. Don't worry too much. Even if I can't kill him, if I want to leave,
He can’t catch up with me either.”
Sword cultivation is indeed one of the fastest methods among monks in the world. Hearing what Jiang Ying said, Xu Bai couldn't help but nodded, but still told him: "If you find the demon king, you must wait.
We'll talk about it after my husband arrives, don't act rashly."
Jiang Ying nodded to reassure Xu Bai.
Then the two separated and each went in the same direction.
After Jiang Ying saw Xu Baiyuan go away, she suddenly became angry and wiped her palm with her sword. Blood soon flowed out of her hand. Monsters like the smell of blood the most. Although this demon king is not an ordinary monster, at this moment, he also wants to
Relying on the monks' essence and blood to repair her injuries, Jiang Ying now uses herself as bait to win the demon horn for her husband.
Use this to ask for a flying sword from Jianqi Mountain.
After that, Jiang Ying headed towards the depths of the mountain forest where few people visited, in order to make the demon king feel at ease to take action.
Sure enough, half a quarter of an hour later, a demonic aura suddenly arose in the forest.
Jiang Ying did not hesitate and chased the evil spirit without any hesitation.
After half a cup of tea, Jiang Ying arrived in front of a mountain stream. At this moment, the evil spirit had dissipated, and Jiang Ying could no longer detect where the evil spirit was.
She stood by the creek, blood dripping from her palms, falling into the creek and flowing down the river.
Just when she turned around, something suddenly rushed out of the creek, and the sky was full of evil energy suddenly covering the surrounding areas.
Jiang Ying suddenly turned around, but was still a step too slow. Before he could use the flying sword, he was hit in the chest and suddenly fell back several feet, then coughed up blood.
Then the black shadow in front of him gathered and took shape at this moment, turning into a human form. He looked like a middle-aged scholar with a pale face.
"What? Using your own body as bait is all you can do?" The pale middle-aged scholar stared at the beautiful woman in front of him with a smile.
Jiang Ying was about to inform her husband with a secret method, but the middle-aged scholar opposite had already seen through her thoughts and said calmly: "I constructed a barrier with evil energy. Within half a quarter of an hour, you can't spread anything."
Jiang Ying's expression changed slightly, but she had already used the flying sword to kill the middle-aged scholar in front of her.
The middle-aged scholar didn't take it seriously at all. After the sharp flying sword came to him, he just stretched out two fingers to clamp it, and then the flying sword could no longer move forward even half a step.
"Your man is quite capable. As for you, even if I'm like this, killing you is just a thought. But your sword cultivator's heart is naturally much more delicious. I really haven't eaten a lot of it in the past few years."
vice."
The middle-aged scholar stared at Jiang Ying, his smile unabated.
Jiang Ying's natal flying sword was controlled by him, the energy in his acupoints was scattered, and he had already suffered serious injuries.
The demon king who transformed into a middle-aged scholar didn't talk nonsense. After controlling the flying sword, he walked towards Jiang Ying and said with a smile: "After I eat your heart and get better from the injury, I will send your husband to keep you company."
Nowadays, there are many monks in the mountains and forests, and the middle-aged scholar is not willing to waste time. However, after eating this sword cultivator, his injury should be improved by five or six points. By then, if he eats some other monks, he will probably be able to heal.
Xu Bai fought.
The reason why he chose to find Jiang Ying, who was alone, was actually not because he had seen through Jiang Ying's thoughts, but because his injuries were caused by a sword being handed out by a swordsman. This made him now have no idea about the so-called sword.
Xiu was filled with hatred. But just when the middle-aged scholar came to Jiang Ying and was about to reach out to take out her heart and liver, a sword suddenly appeared in the forest in the distance and came to Jiang Ying very quickly.
The middle-aged scholar's hand was chopped off, and he immediately started bleeding.
After that, he had to step back a few feet, and then looked intently, only to see a broken knife stuck on the ground in front of him.
Then a young man in black shirt appeared in the distance.
The middle-aged scholar was startled. He had just emitted evil aura, but he didn't sense any other monks around him at all.
The middle-aged scholar who was hesitating whether to kill these two people suddenly felt a strong sword energy coming from the distance. He no longer hesitated at that moment. After throwing the flying sword in his hand, it turned into a ball of evil energy and moved towards the distance.
Gallop away.
The young man in black clothes who appeared seemed to have no intention of chasing him. He just walked over, picked up the broken knife, and sheathed it.
At this time, Xu Bai, who came with a sword, also came here.
Seeing his wife like this, Xu Bai asked anxiously: "How is the injury?"
But who would have thought that after Jiang Ying spit out a mouthful of blood, she shook her head and said: "Leave me alone, go chase him!"
Xu Bai shook his head and was about to speak when Jiang Ying suddenly held his sword across his neck and said seriously: "Xu Bai! Hurry up and chase the demon king and get the demon horn, otherwise I will die here today!"
Xu Bai was startled, with a puzzled look on his face, "Ying'er, why is this happening?"
Jiang Ying gritted her teeth and wiped a thin bloodstain on her neck, remaining silent.
There was a battle between heaven and man in Xu Bai's mind, but in the end he chose to use his sword to chase the demon king in the direction he left.
It wasn't until Xu Bai's figure disappeared from sight that Jiang Ying released his sword and spat out another mouthful of blood.
Chen Chao had been not far away from the two of them, watching this scene without saying a word.
Jiang Ying then turned around and thanked Chen Chao, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your help."
Chen Chao nodded, but couldn't help but ask: "Is the demon horn so important to you?"
Jiang Ying smiled helplessly and said: "What can we do if we are practicing in the mountains?"
Chen Chao nodded thoughtfully and did not stay where he was, but headed somewhere.
Seeing Chen Chao leaving, Jiang Ying reached out and took out a pill. After taking it, she began to sit cross-legged and regulate her breathing.
But not long after, a figure came belatedly again.
It is Nanshan Maitreya.
This abandoned Buddhist disciple glanced around, finally looked at Jiang Ying with a smile, and asked tentatively: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, are you Daoist Xu chasing the demon king?"
Jiang Ying remained silent and ignored him.
Nanshan Maitreya sighed and said: "Why is that demon king so easy to kill? Taoist friend Jiang should point out the direction and let the poor monk help Taoist Xu."
Jiang Ying sneered: "If fellow Taoist Nanshan said this, would you believe it?"
Nanshan Maitreya glanced at the pale Jiang Ying. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It seems that Fellow Daoist Xu is going to get things done, so he will offend Fellow Daoist."
Jiang Ying's face changed slightly, and she quickly thought of what this Nanshan Maitreya statue was doing.
"Nanshan Maitreya, if you dare to do anything random, my husband will not let you go!"
Nanshan Maitreya smiled and said: "How come? I will naturally treat fellow Taoists well."
