This figure is naturally Hu Benchang who is guarding here with Yun Xiao. Although he is a cultivator at the pinnacle of Tongtian Realm, his face is still a little panicked when facing the phantom horn at the peak of the high-level holy grade Tianling.
Even though the previous Phantom Horn was restrained in Yun Xiao's hands, and even one of its tentacles was stretched and broken, it was after all a powerful alien spirit at the pinnacle of a high-level holy grade heavenly spirit, and its combat power was undoubtedly higher than that of human cultivators of the same level.
Stronger.
In addition, Yun Xiao only hid his strength, while Hu Benchang was truly at the pinnacle of Tongtian Realm. At the same level, he might not be able to defeat the phantom horn.
However, after seeing that one of the tentacles of the phantom horn had been severed, Hu Benchang was frightened, but he never thought of backing down. He asked himself that at the same level, he could at least resist for a few rounds.
?
When the time comes, he blocks the phantom corner and allows the Xingchen brothers over there to arrive in time, which can be regarded as a good story. In full view of the outside world, Hu Benchang also has some arrogance.
If Hu Benchang simply ran away without even fighting, even if Hu Benchang did join the Emperor Dragon Army in the future, this incident would probably be a stain on his promotion.
A person's cultivation level is important, but his character and courage are also indispensable. If every Emperor Dragon Army's first thought when facing a powerful supernatural being of the same level is to escape, then how can they compete with the army of supernatural beings?
?
It's a pity that Hu Benchang is quite confident, and he can indeed compete with some other high-level holy-grade Tianling peak experts. But what he encountered today was the Phantom Horn with extremely weird methods.
The word "horn" in Phantom Horn's name probably refers to his two tentacles with extremely strong binding power, but the word "phantom" actually refers to something else.
Whoosh!
I saw that at the next moment, when Hu Benchang was about to brace himself to resist the powerful attack of the Phantom Horn, he saw a flash of colorful light suddenly flashing in the eyes of this guy who looked like a human figure.
This colorful light may not have been seen at all in the eyes of Yun Xiao behind him or those outside, but Hu Benchang seemed to be in an extreme state of confusion under the flash of light.
Even if this confusion only existed in Hu Benchang's mind for a moment, it was enough for Huanjiao to use other methods. This may be the real reason why he was confused and killed before.
"Ouch, not good!"
Hu Benchang woke up after being dazed for a moment. Although he still didn't know what the other party's method was, his heart subconsciously twitched. He knew that the other party's use of such a method would never be just to confuse him.
Huhuhu...
Just when Hu Benchang was on full alert, he suddenly found that he seemed unable to move. When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that countless ropes had climbed up above his body.
"It's the tentacles of the phantom horn!"
Hu Benchang had just seen with his own eyes the magic horn restraining Yun Xiao, and now he was undoubtedly following Yun Xiao's footsteps, but he did not have the physical strength of Yun Xiao.
Just now, Yun Xiao showed off his power, and under Hu Benchang's gaze, he directly broke the phantom horn tentacles into several pieces, causing the latter to have some illusions, secretly saying that the phantom horn tentacles at the peak of the high-level holy grade Tianling,
It doesn't look that scary.
But at this moment, when Hu Benchang personally experienced the restraint of the phantom horn's tentacles, he clearly understood that it was not that the phantom horn's tentacles were not powerful, but that it depended on who they were restraining.
The tentacles that restrained Yun Xiao only needed a slight effort from Yun Xiao to break, but the tentacles that restrained Hu Benchang tightened tighter and tighter, and in the end you could almost hear his bones rattling.
The magic horn that bound Hu Benchang was undoubtedly greatly relieved. After all, this human being who was also at the pinnacle of the Tongtian Realm had a level of cultivation comparable to his. It would take a lot of effort to restrain him with just one move.
His countless efforts and calculations.
"Human boy, stop, don't you want the lives of your companions?"
Therefore, at the next moment, such a loud shout came directly from Huanjiao's mouth, causing the figure of the young man in black who was rushing towards this direction to actually stop as he said.
Seeing this scene, Huanjiao undoubtedly felt a sense of pleasure that his conspiracy had succeeded. Since this man and the boy over there were in the same attic, I'm afraid they had a close relationship. Using this as a blackmail would definitely have miraculous effects.
Although Phantom Horn is not a human being, he has continuously transformed into a human form over the years to play in the world. He knows that these human cultivators are the most pedantic and will often throw away their own lives for the sake of some so-called loyalty.
This is also the reason why Huanjiao tried so hard to take Hu Benchang as a hostage. He believed that he had the hostage in his hands, and judging from the actions of the boy in black, it was indeed impossible to leave the hostage's life alone.
"Brother Xingchen, I...I..."
Hu Benchang, who was taken as a hostage, undoubtedly looked extremely embarrassed. After all, he was also a strong man at the pinnacle of the Tongtian realm, but he was taken hostage by the alien spirit in just one move. It was a great shame and humiliation.
But at this moment, his life was in human hands. Hu Benchang couldn't say "don't worry about me". Everyone cherished his life. If the Phantom Horn was really angered, these alien spirits would not care about the life and death of humans.
"Don't worry, you won't die!"
There was a sneer on Yun Xiao's face, and the words that came out of his mouth not only shook Huan Jiao's body, but also made Hu Benchang shiver.
Because although Yun Xiao was saying "You can't die", his eyes that contained no emotion made Huan Jiao and Hu Benchang unable to guess what he was thinking?
After all, Hu Benchang and Yun Xiao have known each other for less than a month. Hu Benchang really doesn't understand this mysterious young man in black at all. Even his pulse energy cultivation is only on the surface at the late stage of Tongtian realm.
.
But at this moment, Hu Benchang knew that the young man in black in front of him could not only have the cultivation level of the late Tongtian realm. Otherwise, how could he kill Shu Yun, who was half a step into the Holy Spirit?
Now that the foreign spirit is present, Hu Benchang is really not sure at all whether this young man named Xingchen will risk his own life in order to kill the foreign spirit.
Because generally speaking, it is impossible for human beings to compromise with foreign spirits. Once Yun Xiao compromised because of Hu Benchang's life today, and this matter spread to the Emperor Dragon Army, I am afraid that his way to join the army would be cut off.
For example, in a team of the Imperial Dragon Army, one of them is kidnapped by a foreign spirit and the other team members are left helpless. How is this possible?
Even if the Imperial Dragon Army team temporarily compromises because of the lives of its members, if this is reported back to the ears of the capital or commander, it will be punished extremely severely.
Although this kind of regulation is a bit unkind, it also effectively controls the consequences of using hostages by the foreign spirits. There is no reason to argue with the foreign spirits. Even if you compromise, the hostages may not survive.
Hu Benchang is determined to join the Emperor Dragon Army, so he naturally knows this hidden rule. What's more, he is not yet a cultivator of the Emperor Dragon Army. Yun Xiao killed the alien spirit regardless of his life, and may even join the Emperor Dragon Army.
The discerning eyes of those high-ranking military officials.
"You...what do you want to do?"
While Hu Benchang was thinking a lot, Yun Xiao had already stepped forward again, slowly walking towards this side, causing Huanjiao's face to change slightly, and he could not help but shout out a question.
"Let him go, maybe I can give you a good time!"
Yun Xiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Hu Benchang, who was restrained by the tentacles, but the words that came out of his mouth only made Huanjiao sneer.
From Yun Xiao's words, Huanjiao knew that it was impossible for the other party to let him go. Either way, he would die. So, would it make any difference whether he let go of the hostage or not?
Moreover, Huanjiao's mind is not much worse than that of a strong human being. He once thought that this human boy was deceiving him, and he could not care less about the safety of the hostages in his hands. Only with the hostages in his hands could he have a chance to save his own life.
"Boy, if you take another step forward, I will cut off one of his arms!"
Seeing that Yun Xiao's steps had not stopped, the magic horn became anxious, and then the tentacle that restrained Hu Benchang stretched out a section, and then turned into a sharp short knife, which seemed to be still shining with a hint of green.
Light.
Although this short knife transformed from the magic horn tentacles is not a real weapon, it is still quite easy to remove one of Hu Benchang's arms.
It seems that Huanjiao wants to use this method to make Yun Xiao truly understand his ruthlessness, and after cutting off a right arm, there is still a left hand and two legs. He does not believe that the other party can watch his companions.
Suffering from this inhuman torture.
"I say it again, let him go!"
Yun Xiao's movements did not stop, but as soon as he said these words, Huan Jiao sneered, and Hu Benchang's heart sank directly to the bottom. He seemed to have understood something.
It seems that the young man named Xingchen does not take his own life seriously at all, otherwise he would at least hesitate and think about it. How could he not stop at all like now?
"Hey, you did this, you can't blame me!"
Seeing that Yun Xiao had not stopped, Huanjiao's eyes flashed fiercely, as if he was explaining something to Hu Benchang, and then the short knife with transformed tentacles was slashed towards Hu Benchang's right shoulder.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers outside all shook their heads and sighed, because they seemed to have foreseen Hu Benchang's fate. This cut would result in the loss of his body and limbs.
At the same time, some people felt contempt for Yun Xiao. Is it really so important to kill the alien spirit in the secret tunnel? He needs to sacrifice the lives of his companions. With such a companion, Hu Benchang is really pathetic.
Under everyone's gaze, the short knife transformed from the tentacles of the phantom horn cut downwards without any hesitation. In this way, he wanted to tell the human young man in black that his words were by no means alarmist.
