The master and Huo Hu gathered qi simultaneously to attack each other. Wind collided between their hands, making loud noises. Huo Hu took an opportunity to attack the master’s back.
The master lost his balance and fell from the air.
The disciples of the Heavenly Temple stepped forward to help the master up. Huo Hu stood in the air and sneered, “Heh, you humans are getting worse.”
” ……
” The master didn’t expect Huo Hu’s strength to be greater than recorded in the ancient books.
Huo Hu was about to continue with the sarcasm, but suddenly he detected a strange scent in the air, much like the smell of food in the human world.
He squinted and quickly gathered his strength to land on an ancient tree not far away.
The tree fell down with a loud noise, revealing the figure behind it.
Everyone: “.……”
“Little Ci……” The master’s face became even gloomier. “How are you here?”
“It’s her, it’s her, the human who said she was going to eat us!” The small evil spirits stood out to identify Ming Shu.
Ming Shu grabbed her roasted fish, which was almost “killed” by accident, and got up slowly. The corner of her mouth lifted in a perfect arc. “When did I say that?”
“Earlier today, we heard it in person.” The little evil spirits were very sure. “Humans are cunning, she’s trying to deny it!”
“Oh? Now she is delivering herself to our door.” Huo Hu seemed to be very curious as he looked at Ming Shu. “You’re bold, but what comes next will be your nightmare.”
Judging by that old man’s expression, this little girl with tender skin seemed to be one of them.
Huo Hu revealed sharp claws, his tongue sweeping across bloody lips……
“Little Ci, go!” the master shouted and flew forward to stop Huo Hu again.
Huo Hu turned to deal another blow with gathered qi. The powerful spirit force swept over like a tornado, and the fallen leaves on the ground soared, blocking the two from sight.
Huo Hu sensed the danger instinctively.
He walked backward, stepping on dead branches, for quite a few meters.
Then, in the spot where he’d been standing appeared a man in black with a cold and strange face. But the danger of that moment just made Huo Hu not dare to look down on this man.
“King Huai……” Master landed on the ground with a hand covering his chest. “Thank you.”
Just now, if it weren’t for his sudden appearance which forced Huo Hu to give up the attack, the master might have been heavily injured.
Mu Huai gave the master a coldly noble glance. But he noticed Ming Shu next, who was selflessly eating roasted fish. Mu Huai’s mouth twitched again, and everything related to noble or arrogant poise was ruined.
“Take all of them down!” Huo Hu was angered into losing his patience, and he commanded all the evil spirits to start fighting.
The battlefield became more chaotic than before.
It was at this time that Cheng Jinyun appeared. She hid herself among the people and spirits, approaching the master swiftly.
Cheng Jinyun’s sneaky actions just made it harder for Ming Shu not to notice her.
Chewing on fish bones and avoiding some attacks from several small evil spirits, Ming Shu paid close attention to Cheng Jinyun for a moment. Then she suddenly threw away the bones and grabbed the weapon of a small evil spirit next to her.
The evil spirit’s eyes opened wide, holding onto the other end of the weapon.
“Can I…… borrow it for a while?” Ming Shu smiled.
The spirit got very angry.
The little evil spirit shouted and rushed at Ming Shu. But its face suddenly slammed into something soft and its vision was blocked, hands becoming empty in an instant.
Before the evil spirit could figure out what was on its face, a blank feeling slid into its brain, bringing overwhelming darkness.
The colorful little beastie jumped down from the spirit’s face, fluffing its fur.
The little beastie glanced at the evil spirit which had lost consciousness, then formed into a small ball and rolled in the direction Ming Shu was heading……
Cheng Jinyun was already very close to the middle of the battlefield. Mu Huai and Huo Hu were locked in a fierce duel, so she didn’t dare attack for a time.
But after secretly observing for a while, Cheng Jinyun finally found an opportunity. She removed the hidden weapon from her waist, aiming at the master who was withdrawing from the battlefield at this time.
The weapon flew out.
Cheng Jinyun was confident that she would definitely be able to hit her target.
However, to her surprise, the weapon hit some metal object, then changed direction and flew at a nearby tree, piercing the trunk deeply.
Cheng Jinyun’s face suddenly changed and hatred emerged in her eyes.
Cheng Jinyun didn’t give up. She took out several other weapons and threw them.
All the weapons flew straight at the master at the same time, but the master had been alerted. He gathered qi with difficulty, knocked away two of the weapons, and pulled Ming Shu aside.
“Are you all right?” The master didn’t expect to be attacked.
Ming Shu blocked the weapons, which made her hands vibrate a lot. Right now it seemed to be difficult for her to gather qi, but that was not a big problem.
She looked up in the direction of Cheng Jinyun and made direct eye contact with her. But Cheng Jinyun gritted her teeth, eyes filled with ferociousness.
she complained internally.
The corner of Ming Shu’s mouth upturned and she gave a beaming smile to Cheng Jinyun.
Now, naturally the master also saw Cheng Jinyun. He arranged for two disciples of the Heavenly Temple to accompany Ming Shu: “Protect her.” Then he went to Cheng Jinyun.
Cheng Jinyun may have thought that the master was injured, so this was a good opportunity to kill him. Therefore, when the master turned to her, she didn’t retreat but brought out a weapon to meet him.
A fight between the two then initiated. After having engaged in battle for a while, the master seemed to have realized something and suddenly asked, “Who are you?”
Cheng Jinyun snorted. “I’m the one who will take your life.”
If there were anyone to pay close attention to the styles and techniques used by Cheng Jinyun, they may have found that they were somewhat similar to those of the master. But they were also swifter and fiercer, killing intent in every move.
The master was very familiar with this kind of Kung Fu, because this was what he had been practicing, but it was apparently more advanced.
Each of Cheng Jinyun’s moves seemed capable of restraining the master perfectly. He didn’t expect that after so many years, that person had already made it.
But……
The master also improved his practice.
The master suddenly changed his method to defending. Cheng Jinyun responded with an even more sarcastic expression; it seemed she was quite aware of the master’s sudden defense.
Her wrist turned, and internal qi formed a circle in the air. When she pushed forward, the circle suddenly bore down on the master.
As the qi swept along, rocks and dust flew up, and Cheng Jinyun suddenly disappeared in the chaos.
The wind rushed in the master’s direction fiercely, which forced him to defend with all diligence.
At this time, Cheng Jinyun suddenly appeared to the left of the master, and a cold blade directly aimed for his chest.
The master’s eyes flew wide open, the light of the blade reflecting in his pupils.
Brighter and brighter……
At this very crucial moment, Cheng Jinyun suddenly lost her balance.
The blade deviated from its path and missed the master.
