Taming the Demon: A Guide to Raising a Great Sage

Chapter 149 148, Death is coming!
"He's gone into the woods again!"

"What are you still doing in a daze? Get off your horse and catch up!"

"But as the saying goes, don't enter the forest..."

"We have hundreds of people! There are seven fifth-ranks, more than 40 sixth-ranks, and a conjurer. Maybe even a fourth-rank true energy can kill one of them. Are you afraid of him being a little assassin in the God of Catching Hall? Go, go! Chase in!"

A group of hired killers were eager to grab the credit, got off their horses without saying a word, and charged into the woods with torches in hand.

Just as he rushed to the edge of the woods, there was a flash of fire in front of him, followed by two crisp gunshots. The killer who rushed the most violently fell headlong to the ground, and swallowed his breath without saying a word.

"Be careful, that kid's marksmanship is accurate, pay attention to concealment!"

"Throw the torches!"

The killers at the vanguard threw out their torches one after another, and threw them in the direction of the gunfire.

After that, all kinds of hidden weapons were thrown out: iron lotus seeds, copper coin darts, throwing knives, steel needles, sleeve arrows... They shot towards that side like raindrops, and there was a crackling sound in front of them, and sawdust flew across, which sounded very lively.

However, when they swung the hidden weapons and rushed over to take a look, there was no one at the location of the gunshot, and only a big tree was riddled with holes, and the trunk was full of various hidden weapons.

"Where did he go?"

"No footprints on the ground! Did he climb a tree?"

"Watch out for the trees..."

At this moment, not far from the side, there were two more gunshots. This time, the two killers were shot in the back at the same time and fell to the ground. Although they were not killed for a while, they could only lie on the ground and vomit blood to save their lives.

"over there!"

The killers listened to the sound to identify their positions, and then fired densely packed hidden weapons at the position of the gunshot.

However, just after firing a wave of hidden weapons, before they could go over to check, another gunshot sounded from behind the killers, and another killer was shot through the back of the head, and fell to the ground decisively without a word, and became silent after kicking his legs.

"Where is he? He was still directly opposite us just now, why did he go around behind us in the blink of an eye?"

"Damn it, his lightness kung fu is too powerful! Looking forward, suddenly behind, his movement is weird, his position is erratic, and he can't lock his position at all..."

Hearing the nervous shouts of the killers, Xiao Gu, who had just fired a shot, stuffed the empty flintlock rifle into the thick fallen leaves on the ground, sat down with his back against a big tree, and picked up some dead leaves The soil was sprinkled on his body, his head tilted, and he remained motionless, pretending to be a dead skeleton.

What's even more amazing is that it was originally as white as jade with a layer of glazed bones, but it quickly lost its luster and became dull and dull, as if it had been weathered for a long time.

At this time, the killers had already searched towards it, and soon saw Xiaogu sitting with his back against the big tree.

Seeing this withered skeleton covered in leaves and dirt, and with two throwing knives stuck in its eye sockets, the killers were about to do a little inspection, but two gunshots sounded from the front.

This time the killers were on high alert, no one was killed, only one killer was shot in the shoulder, cursed and hid behind a big tree, and quickly applied Jinchuang medicine to stop the bleeding.

The other killers also ignored the little skeleton with a knife in his eyes and a miserable death, and ran towards the direction of the gunfire.

When most of the killers ran to the front, and the last two killers ran past the big tree where the little skeleton was sitting, the motionless little bone palm grabbed at the dead leaves around him, and dragged out the hundred leaves hidden in the dead leaves like lightning. The forging black iron sword suddenly rose violently, slashed horizontally, and with a swish, the heads of the two killers were chopped off at the same time.

Afterwards, it quickly sat back under the tree, with its back against the trunk, stuffed the sword into the dead branches and leaves beside it, and tilted its head again, pretending to be the same as before.

When the killers in front heard the movement of the human body falling to the ground behind them, when they looked back, they saw two corpses lying on the ground, with their heads rolling far away, they all jumped in shock.

"Who did it?"

"Damn it, I didn't hear any movement at all... Didn't you say that the kid's martial arts is only at the seventh rank at most? It's fine to shoot from a distance, how could he go around behind us and kill two people in a row, and then disappeared in a blink of an eye?"

"Yes, could it be the person killed by the skeleton? You see, there seems to be something missing from it..."

It has to be said that this killer is very observant.

Although the small bone returned to its original posture in an instant, the dead leaves and mud dust on its body had been shaken off when it violently killed people. Now there is only a little dust left on the skeleton, which is still different from the previous appearance .

But before the killer clarified his doubts, a killer suddenly snorted at the edge of the crowd, and a cloud of blood sprayed out from the side of his neck.The killer raised his hand in astonishment, covered Biaoxue's neck, and said blankly:
"I'm stupid, who killed me?"

After finishing speaking, his legs went limp, his body tilted, and he collapsed to the ground weakly, kicked his legs twice, and soon swallowed his breath.

This silent and invisible attack surprised the other killers again:
"Why did someone die again? Who did it?"

"I, I just saw it vaguely out of the corner of my eye. It seems that there is a white shadow flashing past... Soon, a very small, very vague white shadow... Oh, there must be a ghost, right?"

A killer shouted:
"What are ghosts and ghosts? In the land of the east, whether it is monsters or ghosts, they are all Taoist soldiers and servants of Taoist monks. How can there be many wild ghosts? Even if there are wild ghosts, they are only in the remote mountains where no one visits." In the old forest. This is Yingzhou, and this forest is on the edge of the official road! How could there be ghosts? Don't scare yourself!"

As soon as the killer finished speaking, his legs suddenly left the ground, and he jumped up.

A sharp-eyed killer noticed that before the killer "plucked onions from the dry land", he jumped up straight without exerting force or bending his knees.This person's lightness is really...

There was also a killer who was nervous: This person jumped up suddenly, what did he find?Could the enemy be hiding in a tree?

However, before all the killers raised their heads to look up, they saw the head of the killer who "jumped" on the spot fell off with a bang, and the headless body, which had been pulled up from the ground more than two feet high, also fell down at the same time, with its neck The blood mist soaring out of the cavity stunned the heads and faces of the surrounding people.

All the killers were suddenly shocked, and instinctively dodged in all directions, shocked and extremely nervous as a warning.

"How can you just jump and jump and lose your head? He, how did he die? It can't be, is there really a ghost?"

"He said there were no ghosts, so he immediately jumped up and died... There may really be ghosts in this area..."

in the canopy above.

Xiao Zhao Shi Shiran wrapped a "Shadowless Silk Blade" around his little claw, walked gracefully, and moved it silently into the dense canopy of another big tree.

Well, the killer who asked "who killed me" before his death was wiped by Xiao Zhao's neck with a dodge leap.

As for the killer who yelled loudly and calmed his mind, Xiao Zhao lay down in the canopy directly above him, and hung down the "Shadowless Silk Blade" that was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and wrapped it around his neck.The so-called "plucking green onions on dry land" that does not move its feet, does not bend its legs, and only uses its toes to exert force, is just hung up by Xiao Zhao with the Shadowless Silk Blade...

With the sharpness of the Shadowless Silk Blade and the killer's self-respect, there is no suspense about the decapitation in the air.

The killing is not over yet.

Just when all the killers scattered, tense and suspicious.

Two more gunshots sounded from the side, and another killer fell to the ground clutching his bleeding chest, groaning in a low voice, struggling for his life.

All the killers were startled, and immediately flew towards the gunshot——

There seems to be a ghost in this forest, they don't want to stay here for a moment, they would rather face the target's elusive light kung fu and the sure-to-hit marksmanship than stay here and get entangled with the invisible ghost who kills people invisible.

In a blink of an eye, there was no one left in this area, only a few dead bodies lying in place.

Xiao Zhao has already left, and Xiao Gu, who pretends to be a dead skeleton, has also disappeared...

A group of hired killers were chasing and fighting for their lives.

More than 20 feet away in the rear, the three groups of people were clearly separated, and they walked forward silently and quickly.

The team on the left is headed by Mrs. Zhao, who is wearing a black dress, has white skin like snow, and a charming face.

Holding a scimitar in her hand, she strode across the forest. The dark environment, rugged terrain, and the complicated and gorgeous long skirt seemed to have no effect on her. Her gait was as agile as a female leopard in the jungle. .

The tall and thin sixth-grade blood shadow killer with a western swift sword hanging from his waist followed closely beside her.The one-armed black-robed man, also like a hound, galloped after her on three limbs.

Behind them were four expressionless, ordinary-looking, pale-faced men in black. As they walked, they exuded a cold aura that strangers should not approach.

The team on the right is led by a girl wearing a traditional Izumo dress in the color of cherry blossoms.

This woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long straight black hair hanging down to her waist, a small face with slapped palms, and exquisite facial features. She was also a rare beauty.Although her face was tense, her eyes were cold, and her brows were dark, but this not only did not damage her beauty, but added a bit of cool charm to her.

Li Ying and the only surviving female ninja from the past accompanied the girl on one side and the other on the right.

Behind the three of them, there were ten Izumo warriors dressed as ronin, all of them were strong in stature, calm in breath and quick in pace, and seemed to be masters of martial arts.

And in the middle, the team that separated Mrs. Zhao and Ghost Wang Dong's subordinates was even more powerful.

The leader is none other than the wife of the head of the South Sea Sword Sect, Xue Mingyue, who has a fifth-rank Dacheng martial arts cultivation.

Among the six fifth-rank elders of the Nanhai Sect, the remaining four accompanied her.Behind them were about thirty other men and women dressed in filial piety and carrying long swords. All of them had long breaths, sharp eyes, and silent footsteps. They were all sixth-rank warriors who had cultivated internal strength.

The South China Sea Sword Sect has more than 30 disciples in the sixth-rank inner strength realm.

Looking at the current posture, the remaining four fifth-rank elders and over thirty sixth-rank internal strength disciples have all been mobilized, which shows the determination of the South Sea Sword Sect or Xue Mingyue to take revenge.

At this moment.

Hearing the screams coming from not far ahead, the three parties who were determined to revenge could not help but change their expressions slightly and speed up again.

Although the distance between them and the killers rushing forward was not far, only more than 20 feet, but it was midnight, the forest was dark, and there were large trees blocking the line of sight, so they could not see the battle ahead clearly. It was inferred that the killers were afraid of heavy casualties.

Those killers rushing to the front, although they are all just hired desperadoes with money, their quality varies, and it is not a pity to die, but if the enemy who let all three parties want to kill and then quickly, just keep hunting like this, It will only boost his invincible belief and momentum.

Although the three parties are confident that with their hard power, they are enough to take down the enemy whose real name is "Shen Lang", but if he builds up his momentum, he may have to pay a big price when he is surrounded and killed later.

After all, he was a master assassin with amazing lightness skills, proficient in stealth, unscrupulous, versatile, and rich in experience. He was cultivated by Mu Qingxue, the god of capture, to do the dirty work for her.

Even though the realm is not high and Taoism is limited, the ability to fight and kill must not be underestimated.

"A group of five, outflank the past!"

During the quick walk, Xue Mingyue ordered in a low voice, and more than 30 sixth-rank disciples of the Nanhai School immediately dispersed. In groups of five, they spread out to both sides and began to encircle them.

On the other side, the beautiful Izumo girl in a cherry-colored long dress also ordered the ten ronin to divide into two groups to cooperate with the disciples of the Nanhai School.

Mrs. Zhao also sent out the four men in black behind her, who exuded the aura of keeping away from strangers and whose faces were as pale as dead people.

Afterwards, Xue Mingyue led the four elders of the Nanhai faction to pursue them head-on and maintain oppression with their absolute strength. in the forest.

A large net composed of masters with the lowest level of six-level cultivation is heading towards the position where the screams are constantly in front...

Shen Lang had withdrawn from the battle at this time.

There are a large number of trees in the forest, the shooting area is very limited, and the enemy can find cover at any time. In other words, the threat of muskets to warriors is mainly reflected in the phalanx of platoons of guns in the open area.

Facing the phalanx of hundreds of musketeers, the rank five warriors did not dare to charge head-on.

But in an environment with many obstacles and complex terrain, with the tragic rate of fire, precision, agility and quick response of today's muskets, warriors are actually not very afraid of muskets.

It means that Shen Lang's marksmanship is good enough, his perception is keen, and he has a second-level agility enhancement, so that he can make multiple kills with the cooperation of Xiao Zhao and Xiao Gu in the early stage.

But after all, within seven steps, the musket can be accurate and fast.

However, Shen Lang can't get close to the enemy within seven steps to shoot. If this is the case, wouldn't he be dumped?

So when the killers raised their vigilance and put their minds on alert, Shen Lang, who could only shoot from a distance, no matter how good his marksmanship was, his killing efficiency would drop rapidly.

Instead, because he stopped to shoot, he was frequently locked by the killers and chased him closer and closer.

That being the case, Shen Lang simply did not shoot.

He asked Xiao Gu and Xiao Zhao to continue to deal with the enemy, reduce the number of killers, and attract the attention of the killers, while he withdrew from the battle, looked for a suitable battlefield, and prepared to make arrangements for a decisive battle with the enemy.
