Facing the surprise attack, the bandits were extremely panicked because they really didn't expect anyone to ambush them here.
Murong Hou asked others to gather together the bandit forces they had recovered. The reason he gave was that they would be easily targeted if they were scattered. If they unite and gather together, the other party will definitely not dare to take action.
These bandits may be smart, but they don't have a high vision. If they have a high vision, they won't hang out with them to this extent, so they really have no suspicion and just go to serve as bait for Hou Murong.
Of course, Gu Cheng and others did not take the bait willingly, but 'deliberately' took the bait.
Gu Cheng did not suffer any bloodshed, but used the Zhuyin Sword and Nine Phoenix Returning to the Nest as usual to defend against the enemy. He penetrated a seventh-grade bandit leader with a single sword stroke.
Murong Hou hasn't appeared yet, so it would be too wasteful to use blood at this time.
Moreover, these bandits are just a mob, there are only two or three who have reached the sixth level, and most of them are only the seventh level, so their strength is not to be feared.
While everyone was fighting in full swing, Murong Hou was already leading his men to stare at the direction of the battlefield from a distance.
Wei Ziming wondered: "Of the people Gu Cheng brought, only a very small part were his subordinates. Where did he get the rest? They are actually quite strong."
Murong Hou said calmly: "Anyway, they will all be dead later, it's not important."
Song Xiaoran whispered from the side: "Mr. Murong, why don't we take action now?"
Staring at the battlefield, Murong Hou said without even blinking: "Wait a minute, Gu Cheng's side has the advantage now and hasn't suffered too much damage yet. He has to consume the opponent's strength before attacking."
These bandits were all recruited with great effort by everyone present. It was not easy to deal with these unruly guys. They could be said to have used coercion and inducement, and some even took action personally to get them to their advantage.
So even though they had no relationship with these bandits, it was very painful for them to see them being consumed by Murong Hou at this time.
Yu Qianfeng frowned and said, "Brother Murong, it should be okay, right? We have the upper hand no matter what.
Even if Gu Cheng is eliminated, we will still have to use these bandits to do things for us in the future. We can't do everything ourselves, right?
Take action, keep some people, don't let them all die."
As soon as Yu Qianfeng spoke like this, several people also spoke at the same time to persuade Murong Hou.
Murong Hou glanced at Qian Feng and the others, with an unknown look in his eyes, and said lightly: "Okay, let's do it."
After the words fell, Murong Hou moved and jumped out. Yu Qianfeng and others were stunned for a moment, and then they took action together with Murong Hou.
In the midst of the originally fierce fighting, a wave of Gang Qi and Zhen Qi came from the outside, and Murong Hou and a dozen other outstanding young masters from Leping County all launched a surprise attack.
The bandits were surprised and surprised when they saw Murong Hou and others coming. At this time, they had no time to think about why Murong Hou and others appeared by such a coincidence. Now they only had the surprise of being rescued unexpectedly.
However, Gu Cheng and others seemed to have expected it. The moment Murong Hou and others took action, Xiao Quan and Taoist Mengshan, who were hiding at the back, pressed the Seal Art with their hands at the same time and activated the formation, turning the surprise attack into a
The resistance was organized in an orderly manner and did not even cause much panic.
Murong Hou stared at Gu Cheng: "Did you expect that I would take action?"
The smile on Gu Cheng's face was bright: "If Mr. Murong's method is just to gather everyone together to resist after something happens, then it will be very disrespectful to Mr. Murong's reputation."
Murong Hou nodded and said: "That's not bad, but do you think this is useful?
Although the people under your command are quite good, they are not at the Grandmaster level and cannot stop me.
Sometimes strategies are indeed useful, but the fundamental reason for their usefulness is strength.
If you had the strength of a grandmaster, then so many things wouldn't happen."
Murong Hou was indeed extremely confident or arrogant.
Although he himself is a practitioner who has reached the sixth level and sixth realm, when he opened his mouth, he said that the master could not stop him. It was obvious that he had already compared himself with the existence of the master level.
Gu Cheng smiled half-heartedly and said, "Really? You won't know until you fight whether you can block it or not.
Mr. Murong, it's too late to refund your troops before too many of your men are killed or injured.
As long as you don't touch my interests in Nanyi County, I won't bother to care about you.
Otherwise, when all these people are dead and you don’t even have anyone to call you in Nanyi County, what else can you do? Watch the scenery?"
Murong Hou also had a smile on his face: "I haven't met someone as confident as you for a long time. Gu Cheng, if you were not from the imperial court but came from a sect family, I guess we would
To become friends.”
Gu Cheng shook his head and said, "People like you don't have friends."
Although Murong Hou himself never said that he had the bearing of a king, it was obvious that he thought so.
The king is alone, how can he have friends?
"Okay, if you can't be friends, then be enemies!"
As Murong Hou finished speaking, his whole body was filled with bright starlight. As soon as he pointed out the starlight energy, it turned into more than ten sword rays and shot out towards Gu Cheng!
Star Vein Sword Finger!
Gangqi takes shape!
It is said that the ancestors of the Leping Murong family watched the stars late at night and understood the "Nine Heavens Star God Technique". The foundation of this technique is extremely profound. Once it reaches great success, one's own inner strength will be as vast and boundless as the stars.
Ordinarily, there are only a few warriors in the early stage of the sixth grade who can achieve the transformation of Gang Qi. One is because they don't have enough understanding, and the other is because they don't have enough power of Gang Qi, so they are unable to transform.
But Murong Hou had just reached the early stage of the sixth level, but he was already able to transform the Gang Qi into shape. This power level was simply astonishing.
The next moment, the blood-sucking power exploded, and the Blood-Abyss Sword in Gu Cheng's hand swayed out. The blood-sucking energy burst out, colliding with the starry sword light, and instantly unleashed an extreme wave of power.
At the moment when the Gang Qi exploded, Gu Cheng's body moved, his blood-stiffened arm was replaced by his right arm, the Yin Zhu Minghuo on the Blood Abyss Sword flourished, and the Nine Phoenixes returned to their nests and rushed towards Murong Hou with an indomitable sword!
There was a strange look in Murong Hou's eyes. No wonder Gu Cheng was able to defeat Fang Zhenhai, and was appointed as the commander-in-chief by the imperial court during his free time in Nanyi County. He could cover the sky with one hand, and Gu Cheng's sword alone was enough to defeat him.
A sixth-level practitioner.
Although Murong Hou believed that his abilities were extraordinary, in fact, what he was most proud of was his own strength.
Facing Gu Cheng's sword, Murong Hou made a fist seal with his hand, and the endless bright stars merged into his hand, like a huge star vortex, completely imprisoning Gu Cheng's sword in it.
Although Jiu Feng's return home is unstoppable, it is unable to take another step forward under this powerful force.
When the star vortex expanded to a certain extent, it finally exploded!
The powerful force caused Gu Cheng's figure to be thrown backwards, but at this moment, Gu Cheng formed a seal in his hand, and Xuanyin spiritual energy exploded around him, turning into black thunder and rushing towards Murong Hou like an overwhelming force.
!
Xuanyin Flying Thunder!
But at the next moment, little bits of moonlight appeared around Murong Hou's body, and each talisman circled around his body, completely neutralizing the power of the Xuanyin Flying Thunder.
Those moonlight condensed into runes, and as Murong Hou made seals with his hands, the runes evolved into the moonlight edge, turning into a talisman array and shrouding Gu Cheng.
Murong Hou practiced both martial arts and qi refining. What he obtained in the qi refining process was an ancient qi refining technique called "Moon Condensing Phantom Nerve". Like a monster, he worshiped the moon and practiced to gain strength, which is similar to today's orthodox qi refining.
The methods of cultivating spiritual energy that scholars absorb are very different.
The outside world said that Murong Hou was blessed with great luck. The martial arts he practiced as Murong was related to the power of the stars, and the Qigong skills he later acquired were related to the power of the moon. If it was a coincidence, it would be a bit too much.
It's a coincidence, it can only be said to be luck.
Seeing the talisman array falling, the seals in Gu Cheng's hands had already formed afterimages. The Xuanyin spiritual energy was consumed rapidly, turning into the Xuanyin Twelve Jade Secret Talisman Array and falling crazily.
In terms of martial arts, Gu Cheng can compete with sixth-level warriors by relying on his blood-sucking power, but in terms of Qi refining, Gu Cheng is still a seventh-level warrior. When his talisman formation hit the moonlight, he only burst out streams of spiritual energy.
The fluctuations, however, cannot completely tear it apart, and can only allow it to be shrouded around him.
Murong Hou stepped on the starlight and looked at Gu Cheng who was enveloped in it. He said calmly: "Gu Cheng, although you are a smart man, you can't see through it. Only strength is the foundation of everything. You
All the calculations are in vain!
Bringing down Fang Zhenhai was not your fault, but the strength of General Song Zhenqing.
Don't worry, I won't kill you today. Killing you, the only facade of the imperial court in Nanyi County, will definitely cause some trouble.
I don’t want to be nagged by those old and immortal guys in the family, so today I will destroy your cultivation in Qi refining and give you a small punishment but a big warning."
Gu Cheng raised his head and suddenly showed a strange smile: "Murong Hou, I have told you before that you are too conceited.
The outcome is still uncertain, and it may be you who returns to Leping County in despair."
"Tough talk!"
Murong Hou snorted coldly and landed a punch. The starlight filled the air for an instant, but it contained a powerful force that was as powerful as an explosion.
But Gu Cheng, who was trapped in the talisman array, suddenly raised his eyes and was shocked that the Guanyin Seal had been formed. That powerful force ignored the talisman array and penetrated it directly, imprinting it on Murong Hou's heart.
.
Even Murong Hou failed to check the power of the shocking Guanyin Seal for a moment, and his mind was suddenly blanked by the powerful force of suppression and purification.
At this moment, a violent wave of Gang Qi suddenly came from behind him, and Yu Qianfeng landed a punch, like a volcano erupting, fierce and fierce.
