Immortal Sword Pavilion

Chapter 27 Night Battle, Sacrifice (for collection, recommendation)
"die!"

The moonlight was like snow, and a ray of red flame knife came rapidly with Xiao Zhan from a distance, and slashed down fiercely.

Bang!
The one-foot-long knife light crashed down, and the bluestone broke where it passed, and a low wall was suddenly cut in half.

At that time, a man in black robe suddenly jumped up from the low wall when the knife light fell, and dodged on the wall not far away. There was a blood drop in his hand, and the scarlet light on it gradually dimmed.

"I don't know who you are, but you secretly spy on the village chief of Hegu Village in the middle of the night."

Xiao Zhan's pupils shrank when he saw the man in black's graceful posture when he dodged.

When Yu Hengdao was accumulating power, he glanced at Li Sanhuai's direction.

Seeing that there was no change, it turned to fall on the blood bead in the hands of the man in black.

"It's a pity." The black-robed man frowned, with a look of anger in his eyes, then flipped his right hand and put the blood beads into his arms.

"The moonlight is rare, Mr. Xiao doesn't cook wine to enjoy the moon, but just stares at an old man, don't you think it's a waste of time?" A harsh and deep voice came, and the black-robed man looked at Xiao Zhan and said ironically.

"Besides, you can't control the affairs of Hegu Village."

"It doesn't matter, it's not you who has the final say, but the knife in my hand has the final say."

Xiao Zhan's eyes turned cold when he heard the words, and he saw his feet move, and where he stepped, the ground was cracked and densely formed into a spider's web.

In the next instant, Xiao Zhan rushed towards the black-robed man dozens of steps away like an arrow flying from the string.

"The tone is quite loud... that's okay, let's see how many catties you have." Hearing this, the man in black's eyes turned cold, a scarlet light flashed for a moment, and his whole arm became thicker by two circles.

Knife light flashed.

Boom!

There was a metal-like collision sound, which was very ear-piercing, and the two passed by.

"If you want to catch Xiao's white blade empty-handed, your Excellency is very courageous, but you are a bit too overconfident."

Xiao Zhan turned his body when he landed, leaving a gorgeous arc-shaped light in the air, and rushed towards the man in black again.

"Since Mr. Xiao is so confident, then let's play with my servant. I'm sorry to take the first step."

Looking at the palm cut by the blade, the man in black shrank his pupils, and after leaving a cruel sentence, his body retreated quickly before Xiao Zhan rushed.

At the same time, he quickly took out a talisman from his arms and threw it away.

call!
The blood red talisman swelled against the wind, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a huge monster more than ten feet in front of Xiao Zhan.

But for a moment, a giant red pincer swung towards Xiao Zhan with howling wind.

Bang!
Xiao Zhan blocked it with a vertical knife, and felt a huge force coming, his body flew backwards involuntarily, and landed on the beam ten steps away, he still took two steps back before stopping.

"I, the puppet, was quite unwilling last time, so I would like to ask Lord Xiao for your advice this time, haha." After speaking, the black-robed man quickly disappeared into the night.

"Who is it?" At this moment, Er Niu, who was guarding in front of the village chief's yard, suddenly opened the gate and rushed out.

"Go back." Seeing this, Xiao Zhan shouted hastily.

He thought he could make a quick decision, but in the end it was delayed.

Although Li Sanhuai lived in a spacious place, he was in a high position after all, so there were many villagers around to guard him.

It's just that the battle was extremely fast just now, so no one has reacted until now.

When Xiao Zhan reminded Er Niu, lights were lit up in many nearby houses, and the villagers even went out to investigate.

"Monsters, monsters, there are monsters."

"It's a monster pretending to be the village chief in the ancestral hall."

"Come on, come on."

But after a while, the sound of panic came one after another from the seven or eight villagers who came out to investigate, and the more clever people went back home directly to beat the gongs and drums, and the commotion became louder and louder.

"Go back." Xiao Zhan shouted, his face gradually becoming serious.

Although the man in black seemed to have left, if he hadn't left and secretly manipulated the crab monster to attack the villagers, he might have suffered heavy casualties.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan lifted the Xiuchun Knife in his hand, and slowly stroked the sharp blade with his left hand, hot blood immediately flowed out, like a jewel, glowing with a crystal red light.

"Listen to Lord Xiao's words, everyone step back and make way, those with weapons in their hands, approach the village chief quickly." Er Niu also shouted quickly when he saw this scene.

Under the threat of their lives, some villagers retreated to their houses, but some people in the distance followed Er Niu's words and approached him with sticks in their hands.

As for the behavior of the villagers, Xiao Zhan had no energy left to control him. When the blood drenched Xiuchun, he rushed towards the giant crab monster like a raging flame.

……

An hour later.

"You look very tired, what happened in the village just now?" On the cliff, looking at Xiao Zhan who visited again, Zhou Yu's eyes were a little dignified.

"You met the person behind the scenes, is it Taoist Shen?"

"No." Xiao Zhan shook his head, "It's a man in black robe holding a blood bead. He tried to harm the village chief, and I discovered him."

"How is the cultivation base?"

"You can be my opponent, but if you work hard, you are not my opponent." Xiao Zhan said with certainty.

"In addition, the giant crab monster is controlled by the man in black. Not long after I fought him, I saw Taoist Shen and a group of villagers coming. After questioning, I can basically confirm that he is not a person in disguise."

"Tomorrow is the day of sacrifice, what do you think?" Having said that, Xiao Zhan sat on the stone slope beside him and asked.

"I have kept my sword for three days, and I will wait until tomorrow." Zhou Yu touched the Qingming sword and said in a deep voice.

"That's good."

The next day.

Outside Hegu Village, in front of Changliu River.

A large number of villagers gathered continuously, including many men, women and children. The leaders were Li Sanhuai, Li Changchun and other village elders, followed by the wealthy gentry in the village.

"The sacrifice begins." When the incense table by the river was set up, Li Sanhuai sang loudly after burning the incense.

Then, some young juniors who had prepared long ago sent the three sacrificial pigs, dogs, and sheep to bamboo rafts and pushed them into the river.

Hegu Village is different from other places. Since the purpose of offering sacrifices to the river god is to protect one side, the cattle among the three sacrifices are replaced by guardian dogs.

"Next, it's up to the Daoist." When everything was ready, Li Sanhuai looked at Daoren Shen with expectation in his eyes.

"Poverty Daoist will do everything he can." Daoren Shen didn't say much, and under the protection of two villagers who guarded the three animals, he stepped on the bamboo raft and headed for the mouth of the valley on Changliu and Shang.

"Yesterday, I killed the giant crab demon. I hope that today, with the help of Daoist Shen, I can restore the cleanliness of Hegu Village." Li Sanhuai murmured, looking at the bamboo raft going away.

"Sure, boss, don't worry." Er Niu comforted, but his mind couldn't help but think of his weird and demon-like behavior last night.

"I want to see, how did you find the river god who never showed up?"

On the cliff, Zhou Yu looked at Daoren Shen on the bamboo raft on the Changliu River, with a playful smile on his lips.
