Just when the three of them were still in a daze, a pleasantly surprised voice suddenly rang out.
The little girl had already turned over and climbed up. She hugged the tall Youth who had suddenly emerged from the boulder.
The little girl was petite and exquisite. Her head only reached the tall Youth's waist. At this moment, a pair of fair and tender little hands were tightly hugging the Youth's thigh. Most of her body was turned sideways to hide behind the Youth. Her pair of big watery eyes were looking at the tall Youth, rolling around.
The three of them were startled when they heard this. They couldn't help but look at each other. Their gazes once again fell on the tall Youth. They saw that his face was expressionless after hearing the little girl's call. He was still staring blankly in front of him. The three of them suddenly had a suspicious look on their faces.
The little girl's heart tightened. Her pair of small hands that were hugging the Youth's thigh couldn't stop shaking. She cried out loudly again.
"Brother Stone, Le'Er has finally found you!
These bad guys want to catch Le'Er. Brother Stone, help me beat them up! "
This time, the tall Youth seemed to have heard the little girl's cry. His head slowly drooped down.
The little girl raised her head to meet the tall Youth's gaze. Her heart thumped again when she saw his empty eyes.
However, when the curly-bearded man and the other two saw this, their hearts skipped a beat.
They had already released their Divine Sense to sweep over the tall Youth. However, there was no trace of magic power on the person in front of them. There were two possibilities for this situation. One was that the other party was just a mortal without any cultivation. The other was that the other party had a special secret technique or magic tool that could conceal his magic power.
Moreover, from the strange situation when the young man appeared and the way the little girl kept calling him "Big Brother Stone", the three of them faintly felt that it was very likely that the young man was the latter and might even be a member of the Demon Clan.
Taoist Priest Qi rested the horsetail whisk on his arm. His eyes darted back and forth between the tall Youth and the little girl. His eyes darted back and forth, and no one knew what he was thinking.
The horse-faced man had also retracted his right hand. He took a step back unknowingly and returned to the side of the bearded man and the Taoist Priest Qi. His left hand, which was hidden in the sleeve of his robe, was secretly pinching something while his eyes were fixed on the little girl.
"How should I address you?
I'm Yan Cheng of the Blood Saber Association, and I'm working with the two of you to capture this bewitching fox. If you have nothing to do with this matter, please leave. "The muscular man with curly beard asked in a probing tone after winking at his two companions.
The little girl panicked and looked at the tall Youth with pleading eyes.
The tall Youth slowly raised his head, and looked at the curly-bearded man in a stupefied manner. He didn't say anything.
A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the muscular man with curly beard, but he didn't flare up. Instead, he repeated what he had said before, but raised his voice.
The little girl opened her mouth slightly, but didn't say anything. However, her little hand, which was grabbing onto the tall Youth's trousers, broke out in cold sweat, causing her palm to become slightly damp.
The tall Youth still didn't react at all.
"This person is so suspicious. It seems that there's something wrong with him. Instead of wasting time here, why don't we …" The horse-faced man turned his body slightly, and his lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice to the two people beside him.
"Within a radius of ten thousand miles, anyone who can remain so calm after hearing the name of the Blood Saber Association is either an immensely powerful cultivator, or a real fool.
In any case, he was the one who protected the evildoer first. Even if he were to kill him, no one would say anything.
Of course, I'll leave the decision to my Friend Yan. "Taoist Priest Qi narrowed his eyes, and transmitted his voice to the other two people.
The curly-bearded man nodded slightly, and his eyes gradually turned cold. He weighed the podao in his hand, and suddenly shouted, "Your Excellency, are you looking down on the three of us?!"
His voice was loud and clear, and it echoed continuously in the wilderness. The air nearby buzzed.
The little girl's little face revealed a look of fear when she heard this. She unconsciously let go of the bottom of the Youth's trousers, and tightly held onto the rattle-drum with one hand.
The tall Youth didn't respond to the words of the curly-bearded man as if he were deaf.
"Alright, since Your Excellency insists on joining forces with that demoness, then … let's do it!"
An ominous glint flashed in the curly-bearded man's eyes. The podao in his hand suddenly shone with a dazzling white light, making it impossible for people to look at it directly. He suddenly raised his other hand.
A black light flashed and flew out. It spun in the air, and turned into a large black net that fell down.
The little girl was shocked, and hastily retreated a few steps. Unfortunately, the distance was too close, and it was too late.
The large net pressed down like a black cloud, and suddenly closed up. Suddenly, it enveloped her and the tall Youth. At the same time, a cold light appeared in the net, and a silver hook appeared on each knot. The hook shone with a cold light, and looked extremely sharp.
The little girl screamed, and opened her mouth to spit a cloud of blood mist onto the rattle-drum in her hand. At the same time, she twisted her wrist.
Dong!
A clear rattle of the rattle-drum resounded, and the little girl's body flashed with a green light. Then, her figure became blurry, and collapsed, turning into a piece of dead wood.
Thump!
The little girl's figure flashed a hundred feet away, and then she fell to the ground. Her hands and feet had been injured by the black net's barbs. More than a dozen wounds had appeared on her body, and blood was gushing out.
She rolled and struggled to get up. But, she only took one step, and then her body went limp, and she fell to the ground again. Her face was pale, and she was gasping for breath.
At this time, the curly-bearded man didn't even look at the little girl who could only wait for death. Instead, he made a hand sign with one hand, and the black net that wrapped around the tall Youth suddenly tightened.
At the same time, the Taoist Priest Qi's figure had already leaped into the air, and with a flick of his wrist, more than a dozen green lights shot out. They were more than a dozen crystal-clear flying needles, and they shot toward the Youth's body at lightning speed.
"Watch out!"
Not far away, the little girl couldn't get up, but she could only scream again when she saw the situation.
Ding, ding, ding!
The sound of metal clashing rang out. The green flying needles were all bounced off the tall Youth's body as soon as they came into contact with him, as if they had pierced into a Stone.
"How is this possible?" The Taoist Priest Qi, who had landed lightly on the ground, cried out involuntarily.
Even if the other party was really a Stone, these flying needles should have easily pierced through it.
Whoosh!
A golden light suddenly flew out from the Taoist Priest's side, and after a flash, it was firmly nailed to the tall Youth's throat.
"Hehe, you've been hit by my Golden Bee Awl. It'll be hard for you not to die …" On the other side, the horse-faced man slowly lowered his raised arm, and he sneered.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the Golden Bee Awl that was nailed to the Youth's throat exploded on its own, and the fragments turned into specks of golden light that fell down.
"Impossible …"
The horse-faced man's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
The curly-bearded man also stared at the tall Youth's body, his face full of disbelief.
The black net's hooks, which could tear through iron sheets, were hanging on the Youth's body, but they couldn't pierce the surface of his body at all.
Just as the three of them were overwhelmed with shock, the Youth finally showed some reaction under the continuous attacks.
He slowly lowered his head and looked at the things hanging on his body. He seemed to feel that they were a hindrance, so he moved his arm, and all ten of his fingers simultaneously grabbed the black net that was wrapped around his body.
Chi La!
The surface of the black net exploded with a burst of spiritual light. Then, it was torn apart like a piece of paper. It was divided into two pieces, and they gently fell to the ground.
The eyes of the horse-faced man and the Taoist Priest Qi almost popped out of their sockets when they saw this.
Not far away, the little girl's mouth was also wide open. She didn't even feel the sharp pain on her body.
"You … you dare to destroy my magic tool!" The curly-bearded man roared as he witnessed this scene. He felt as if his heart was bleeding.
This black net was an important treasure that he had borrowed from a good friend of his without sparing a lot of money. Today, it had been inexplicably destroyed here. How could he not be shocked and angry at the same time?
The curly-bearded man gnashed his teeth as he looked at the tall Youth. He pinched two of his fingers together, and a purple charm appeared on his fingertips out of thin air. He threw it with one hand, and chanted an incantation. The charm immediately flew out, and swept over the top of the tall Youth's head.
With a "pu" sound, the talisman shattered into pieces and turned into a thick black leaden cloud.
The black leaden cloud flashed with a thunderous sound, and a silver arc of lightning as thick as the mouth of a bowl struck down from the black cloud.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
The thick arc of lightning bombarded the tall Youth's body. Countless arcs of lightning scattered in all directions, and cracked the ground around him. Consequently, a ghastly black pit was formed.
The little girl closed her eyes in fright when she heard the roar of thunder. She didn't know where she got her strength from, but she used her hands to push herself back a few steps. She managed to avoid the aftermath of the lightning by a hair's breadth.
As a result, she opened her eyes with a lingering fear in her heart. She opened and closed her mouth, and nearly bit her tongue.
The tall Youth stood calmly on the bumpy ground. But, there wasn't the slightest injury on his body.
The curly-bearded man was shocked. But, he didn't stop moving his hands. Instead, he quickly mumbled an incantation, and formed a magic sign with his hands.
"Bind!"
Another silver arc of lightning fell from the sky. Then, it suddenly changed, and intertwined with each other. Then, it transformed into a chain of lightning light. Then, it rapidly wound around the tall Youth's body, and tied him up firmly.
"My two friends, what are you waiting for if not now?!"
The curly-bearded man growled. He held the podao in his hand horizontally in front of him. Suddenly, a layer of red light appeared in his hand. Then, he leaped forward, and fiercely slashed at the tall Youth's face with his podao.
The horse-faced man was also surprised by the fact that the power of lightning couldn't hurt the Youth. But, he was overjoyed when he saw the situation. He formed a magic sign with one hand, and his figure suddenly turned into a light breeze, and disappeared from where he stood.
The next moment, a gust of wind rolled up from the side of the tall Youth, and the horse-faced man flashed out of it. A black iron ruler appeared in his hand. The surface of the ruler was flashing with a few white runes. Then, he smashed the ruler towards the tall Youth's shoulder with an evil gust of wind.
Taoist Priest Qi's eyes flickered. He didn't rush out after the two men. Instead, he took two steps back and waved his hand. A mass of blood-red light flew out from his sleeve. It flew in a circle in the air at lightning speed, and silently smashed towards the back of the tall Youth's head.
Although the three of them attacked at different times, they had a tacit understanding of each other. It was obvious that this wasn't the first time they had worked together.
The tall Youth's eyes were dull, and he stood motionless in the same place. It was as if he didn't see the attack in front of him.
The eyes of the curly-bearded man flickered with joy when he saw this. He unconsciously increased the strength of his podao by 30%.
But, he suddenly felt his wrist tighten the next moment. It was as if a big hand made of steel had firmly grabbed him. Not only could the pouncing knife not move down, but even his rushing figure came to a screeching halt. He couldn't move forward anymore.
The tall Youth stretched out his arm, and his five fingers were like hooks as he grabbed the wrist of the man who was holding the knife. His movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to see it clearly.
The curly-bearded man exerted all his strength to pull back. But, it was as if he was rooted to the ground. He couldn't shake his opponent's arm at all. His heart turned cold at first, but the corners of his mouth immediately revealed a cruel smile.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
The iron ruler of the horse-faced man and the blood-colored ball of light released by the Taoist Priest Qi hit the tall Youth's shoulder and the back of his head almost at the same time. One emitted a glaring black light, while the other shattered like porcelain. It turned into a thick bloody mist that shrouded the entire head of the Youth. At the same time, it emitted a pungent smell that made one want to vomit.
"Haha!"
The horse-faced man had just laughed out loud when he felt his fingers heat up in the next moment. An indescribable, raging wave of power erupted from the tall young man's body and spread to his body through the iron ruler.
"No!"
The horse-faced man revealed a horrified expression. He only had time to say one word before his body flew backward involuntarily. When he landed far away, there was a series of cracking sounds in his body. He didn't know how many bones were broken. Blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs spurted out of his mouth.
His whole body was like a broken sack riddled with holes. He was no longer breathing.
"Impossible, you … Ah …"
The curly-bearded man turned pale with fright, but he didn't have time to do anything to salvage the situation. The five fingers that grabbed his wrist shook, and a strange vibration spread. The bones in his body instantly shattered. The pain was as if he was being cut by a thousand knives. The big man couldn't help but let out an extremely shrill scream.
"Whoosh!"
The curly-bearded man couldn't help but rise into the air. He was ruthlessly thrown onto a boulder not far away.
"Boom!"
As the big man screamed, his whole body exploded on the boulder and turned into a pile of minced meat.
This series of actions happened in the blink of an eye like a spark from a flint.
The Taoist Priest Qi's face turned ashen when he saw all this. He suddenly turned around and madly patted five or six talismans of different colors on his body. At the same time, he started to run wildly in the direction he came from.
However, he only had time to run a few steps before he felt the air around him tighten. Several protective spiritual lights on his body flashed and extinguished. Then, his whole body exploded with a "Bang!" as if an invisible giant had pinched it in the air like a toy. It turned into a rain of blood and flesh.
