However, the plan failed to change. I had bad luck today and encountered accidents one after another.
I thought that with my ability to escape in the sand, I would have enough room for maneuver if I came alone. Who would have thought that I would meet a real master who could actually escape underground and chase him, forcing him to flee in embarrassment.
Now that I have chosen a route that I think is suitable, who would have thought that I would run into trouble again.
He is now in a huge underground palace, and his way is blocked by groups of sand scorpions. Countless sand scorpions are densely packed, climbing layer upon layer, shaking their pincers and swinging their poisonous needle tails.
The scalp was numb, and the moon butterfly was too frightened to fly low, fluttering its wings on the top of the temple.
There are various large and small Buddha statues standing or sitting all around. The statues are either solemn, compassionate or ferocious.
Niu Youdao estimated that such a large-scale Buddhist temple was a relic of the legendary prosperous era of Buddhism before the Wu Dynasty.
It's just that this Buddhist ruin seems to have become a nest of sand scorpions at this time. Looking at the large and small sand scorpions, the smallest one is only as big as a rabbit, swishing all over the ground, it seems that I have accidentally broken into a certain place of sand scorpions.
Lair.
When someone broke into their lair, the sand scorpions immediately became restless and began to climb on top of each other, blocking a passage behind the Buddhist temple and waving their pincers to demonstrate. There seemed to be something important behind it, and it seemed to prevent foreign enemies from entering.
At the same time, large groups of sand scorpions rushed out from various intersections and jumped to attack.
Niu Youdao wanted to retreat immediately, but then he thought that the killer might have been chasing him from behind. To retreat now was to seek death. In an instant, his body was spinning, the sword light in his hand was picking and slashing, and the sword energy was flowing horizontally, killing the besieging sand.
The scorpion killed a man whose stumps were broken and his legs were flying around.
He quickly rushed to the side of the hall, punched the wall with a punch, and the rocks exploded. However, he found that there was a hard layer of soil behind the rocks, making it impossible to escape like escaping into the sand.
Turning over and knocking away a group of besieging sand scorpions, the man escaped from the chaos and rushed out, soared towards the roof and landed on the high stone beams above.
Boom! Another heavy punch to the roof. The thick stones on the roof fell down, but I don’t know what structure it is. There are staggered stones on top of the stones to consolidate. I can’t tell how thick and high they are piled.
.
"Your uncle..." Niu Youdao muttered and cursed.
The sand scorpions bouncing below cannot jump that high, but they can climb up from the walls or stone pillars in all directions to besiege the building from above.
The situation did not allow him to take his time. Niu Youdao quickly observed the surrounding terrain. He leaped on the beam and returned to the entrance of the corridor where he came from. He called Yuedie over and quickly brought Yuedie over.
Received.
The hall instantly fell into darkness again. A large number of sand scorpions swarmed towards this side, blocking the entrance here and climbing up.
Niu Youdao huddled in the corner of the beam and kept silent. He noticed that the sand scorpion that was climbing up was approaching quickly, and he was ready to cast a spell to protect his body and resist for a while without fighting back.
At this moment, boom! There was a loud sound, and a fierce sword energy blasted in from the entrance, slashing away the sand scorpions blocking the entrance.
The entrance also showed the light of the moon butterfly fluttering its wings, and a tall and thin figure also rushed in. A large number of sand scorpions quickly rushed towards him to attack, and the moon butterfly landed on his shoulder.
The tall and thin figure moved, the sword energy stirred up, and the broken limbs of the besieging sand scorpions flew away, attracting more and more sand scorpions to attack.
Taking advantage of the lanky man attracting a large number of sand scorpions, and taking advantage of the chaos and commotion, Niu Youdao quickly dodged away, and then got out of the entrance blocked by the sand scorpions and forced open by the lanky man.
Road to escape.
He believed that since there were so many sand scorpions gathering here, there must be an entrance and exit for the sand scorpions to enter and leave the desert.
However, for a while, the ghost knew where the entrance and exit were, and there was a killer chasing him behind the key. He didn't have much time to wander around to find a way out. Plus, with the noise these sand scorpions made along the way, it was difficult to avoid being discovered by the killer.
It would be too dangerous to be chased away.
Therefore, he quickly and calmly made a decision in a hurry. It would be easier to go back the same way. There must be masters from the three factions outside to stop him, which would be enough to buy him time to escape.
What he wanted was the time difference between him and the killer entering and leaving the palace.
As soon as he rushed into the original corridor, he immediately attracted the attack of some sand scorpions that had not retreated from the entrance of the corridor.
The tall and thin man, who was fending off the sand scorpions and searching coldly for Niu Youdao's whereabouts, turned around when he heard the noise. Although he didn't see Niu Youdao's figure, he realized something and couldn't help but sneered angrily and amusedly.
To actually dare to play this trick under his nose shows that the target is calm, calm and composed when encountering problems. This courage is indeed unparalleled!
The gang energy all over his body suddenly burst out, spinning vigorously, and the tall and thin man no longer struggled with these sand scorpions, and directly collided with them forcefully.
Boom! Boom! Rushing up, the sand scorpions that were hit were all bounced away by the impact. A tall and thin figure had already rushed into the corridor where he came from, chasing after him urgently.
Niu Youdao rushed wildly in the darkness. He noticed the pile of sand piled up when the tunnel collapsed in front of him, and blasted it away with a palm. The sand exploded, and a large amount of quicksand poured in. He took advantage of the situation and rushed directly into the sand.
in the pile.
Almost at the same time he got out of the gap above, a bright light flashed in the corridor.
The tall and thin man with the moon butterfly on his shoulder had already arrived and slashed wildly with his sword in the flying sand. Regardless of whether Niu Youdao had gone out or not, he had to strike first with his sword to avoid an ambush.
The sand pile exploded again, and the tall and thin man grabbed the Moon Butterfly on his shoulder and quickly put it into the portable box. The man had already got into the sand pile and quickly chased after the escaping movement coming from the sand pile.
He had already noticed Niu Youdao's intention to return the same way, and he must have wanted his accomplices to intercept him and give him a chance to escape.
How could he let Niu Youdao succeed? The gang energy around his body was gathering and he was furious, chasing after him at full speed!
Niu Youdao, who noticed the speed of the pursuit from behind, secretly complained, this time he really met a master, a great person!
The moment he approached the target, the tall and thin man slashed out with another sword.
When it came time to fight for his life, Niu Youdao had nothing to say. He mobilized the talisman in his body and blasted out a red light with one palm.
The violent sword energy collided with the violent energy condensed by the Jindan monk's cultivation.
Boom! The powerful explosive force of the collision spread to the surrounding areas. Niu Youdao's throat was filled with sweetness. He quickly moved the world to relieve the force, and at the same time blasted out an energy block of the amulet with one palm, and then quickly escaped.
However, this extra palm was nothing less than a disaster for the tall and thin man.
The first explosive collision was exactly the same as the previous chase. The space around the tall and thin man opened up quickly collapsed.
This situation startled him again, and he wondered in his heart, how many "crittal charms" did this animal have on his body, so it was so extravagant?
Fortunately, I had this first experience and quickly cast spells to deal with it, resisting the strong underground pressure.
However, what he never expected in his dreams was that another violent roar struck him. He had just tried his best to resist the huge pressure, but this blow almost scared him out of his wits.
At this time, he was trapped in the sand, unable to move, and had no way to hide. He had to cast spells to withstand the huge ground pressure, and also deal with this fatal blow!
As a last resort, I can only deal with the fatal blow first, and use all my magic power to resist!
Boom! He blocked the blow with force, and the man was almost stunned by the shock. The huge ground pressure that followed almost crushed him into a pulp.
It was only because of his powerful magical power that he was able to resist.
With a miserable look on his face and trembling all over, the moment he used all his magic to forcefully open up a space around him again, his throat felt sweet and a mouthful of blood came out.
It was really a desperate effort to move upward!
He knew that he was seriously injured. If he didn't get out, he would be buried in the desert forever...
On the surface, a fighting has ended. Ten disciples from the three sects have killed two of the three killers and captured one injured alive!
I also remember Niu Youdao’s instructions here, to catch one alive!
When the three monks from the three factions who had dealt with Shopkeeper Pan's side arrived, the fighting was over, and there was no need to participate anymore. Instead, they joined the people here to fight against the incoming sand scorpions.
More and more sand scorpions are gathering, and they don't know whether they should leave. Niu Youdao has disappeared, and they don't know whether they are dead or alive!
If this goes away, what if Niu Youdao needs their help?
It was difficult to make a decision for a while, so I could only wait and fight against the large group of sand scorpions.
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound coming from the ground, followed by another one.
The monks from the three sects who resisted a large number of sand scorpions looked at each other in surprise and joy. The surprise was that they didn't know what was going on below, but the joy was that there was still movement, which meant that Niu Youdao was still alive.
Bang! Rain exploded from the sand not far away, and a figure soared into the sky from the sand, the black cloak on his body flying under the moonlight.
"Niu Youdao..." someone said in surprise.
Several sand scorpions swooped down and attacked Niu Youdao who fell from the sky.
Niu Youdao cut off the tail of a stabbed sand scorpion with his sharp sword, stepped on the sand scorpion with his flying feet, and used the force to eject him towards the three sects.
Almost at this moment, another pile of sand rain exploded from the ground, and the tall and thin man also rushed out of the sand.
Niu Youdao shouted, "Stop him!"
More than a dozen people from the three factions quickly flew over to stop the attack.
With a volley of palms, the tall and thin man knocked down a group of sand scorpions rushing from below and fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing a group of golden elixir monks rushing towards them, with endless expressions of grief and indignation, they suddenly opened their arms and mana surged out violently, causing the large desert surface centered on him to tremble like a sieve.
"Ah!" The tall and thin man suddenly raised his arms and roared to the sky, blood gushing out from his mouth and nose.
Boom! A large area of wild sand exploded into the sky. The sand and sand scorpions were torn to pieces by the violent force. They exploded together and swept away more than ten monks who were rushing towards them.
The tall and thin man in the wild sand on the ground swung his sword and slashed with fierce sword energy.
The sand fell to the ground, and the corpses of the sand scorpions fell to the ground. More than ten monks who rushed out to attack also fell to the ground, staggering, and two of them had been cut into two pieces by the sharp sword energy.
Those who survived the violent attack all turned pale, and looked at the tall and thin man with the horizontal sword in his eyes in horror. I didn't expect this man to be so terrifying!
Niu Youdao, who was about to escape, looked back and was shocked. If so many people couldn't block this person's attack, how could he escape?
However, the next moment, the tall and thin man suddenly swayed, and blood dripped from his mouth and nose.
Whoa! Niu Youdao took action decisively, and the sword in his hand was suddenly thrown out, turning into a stream of light. At the same time, his fists and feet flew, opening up the besieging sand scorpions.
The tall and thin man raised his arm and swung his sword to block the incoming stream of light, but his arm was powerless to block it. When he was shaken away with a loud sound, one can imagine how weak he was.
With a pop, the stream of light disappeared into his chest, leaving only the hilt of the sword, a blood flower spattered on the back, and the shining blade of the sword.
