Xie Lian had to protect Hua Cheng and could not be distracted. And Pei Ming was not a threat at all in front of the weapon he was most familiar with!

At this time, Mingguang suddenly cursed: "You barbarian! Can you stop smashing when I smash? You smashed my hand!" Ke Mo ignored him. Seeing the two men rubbing against each other, Xie Lian grabbed Pei Ming and said, "General Pei! Ke Mo doesn't believe that you have no ill will towards him, and he must come to you to ask for an explanation! Quickly, put your five fingers together, cross your wrists above your head, press down from the top of your head and then separate. This is the common gesture for peace in their tribe. In short, show him your good intentions first and let him stay calm!"

Pei Ming was puzzled and asked, "Huh?" You have to know that the hatred between them and Ke Mo is not a small misunderstanding. How can they make peace with him by just making a gesture? How can he calm down?

Xie Lian didn’t give him any more words, and grabbed him, saying, “Come, do this with me first, and make him stop!”

However, Pei Ming's hand was injured, and when he was grabbed, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Just as he was about to do as they said, Mingguang had already heard everything they said. He rushed in front of Ke Mo, crossed his hands above his head, slid them downwards, separated his hands, and said proudly to the two people in the circle: "It's not that easy!"

Unexpectedly, when Ke Mo saw his action, his eyes widened, veins bulged on his iron-black skin, and he spread out his five fingers, and with a palm like an iron cattail leaf fan, he slapped Ming Guang away horizontally.

At the moment when the slap was thrown, Pei Ming and Ming Guang didn’t understand what happened. After a moment, Pei Ming turned around and said to Xie Lian, “Your Highness, I thought Ming Guang was very cunning, but I didn’t expect you to be more cunning than him. Pei admires you.”

Xie Lian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, “No, no, I’m so ashamed.”

The words just now seemed to be spoken to Pei Ming, but in fact they were spoken to Ming Guang. After hearing this, Ming Guang would certainly be the first to show goodwill to Ke Mo in order to prevent them from getting what they wanted. However, the action taught by Xie Lian was not a request for peace at all, but a provocation. Moreover, it was the most aggressive provocation in the language of Ban Yue Country, roughly equivalent to the power of the four-hit combo of "chop off your dog head, whore your wife, kill your whole family, and dig up your ancestral graves". It would be strange if Ke Mo did not get furious after seeing this. In another situation, Ming Guang might still doubt the authenticity of Xie Lian's words, but the situation was urgent at the moment, Pei Ming's hand was almost raised, and he had no time to think about it, so he was fooled.

Mingguang reacted quickly after being knocked away by Kemo, and wanted to make amends. However, due to the language barrier, he instinctively yelled and yelled, which seemed more like cursing Kemo. He also tried a few other gestures, such as bowing and giving a thumbs up, but this was like someone suddenly begging for mercy after insulting you with the most vicious and vulgar words. It was too insincere, and he was still hit several times. In addition, Kemo also knew some basic Central Plains swear words. Mingguang was a little annoyed while beating and cursing. The two of them fought harder and harder, and Pei Ming almost wanted to cheer them on. Mingguang glanced over here and was very angry. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, shook it at Kemo, pointed at himself, and then pointed at Xie Lian and Pei Ming in the circle, and repeated the cross-hand separation gesture to the two of them.

Ke Mo really stopped, frowned and asked, "Are you doing it to me or to them?"

Xie Lian thought it was bad, but he didn't dare to speak rashly, because he was not sure how to appease Ke Mo. Ming Guang saw that there was a turnaround, and continued to work hard. When he turned to Pei Ming, he repeated the same action with a ferocious face, and returned to calm when he turned to Ke Mo. With the eye contact and expression, Ke Mo really understood what he meant after repeating this:

We share the same hatred and the same enemy!

After reaching an agreement, Mingguang and Kemo approached the circle again. Xie Lian's mind raced, he took a deep breath, and shouted in Banyue language: "Little General Pei! Banyue!"

Upon hearing these two names, Ke Mo paused and asked sharply, “Are they also nearby?!”

Xie Lian did not answer him, but only called out, “Little General Pei! Banyue! Ke Mo is here, you must not come over, run away quickly! Never come back again!”

Ke Mo naturally thought that the two men were really nearby and Xie Lian was tipping them off to escape. He immediately shouted angrily, “It’s not that easy!” and rushed out. Ming Guang said, “Hey! Big guy! Why are you running?! He must be lying to you, come back!”

However, Ke Mo had already run far away, and Ming Guang was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed, "Idiot!"

Xie Lian wiped off his second cold sweat, and said to himself, "Learning one more language will benefit you for the rest of your life!" Seeing Ming Guang trying to continue to hit Fang Xin, he raised his hand and said, "Wait! If you come again, we will be rude to you."

Mingguang said: "How can you still be rude to me now?"

Xie Lian asked, “Did you forget to bring something?”

Mingguang asked, "What is it?"

Pei Ming hesitated as he dragged something out from behind him and said, "How could you forget such a big thing?"

What he was dragging was actually two human legs with half of the waist attached. Mingguang was shocked when he saw it and said, "Ah? My lower body!"

Just now, he had been moving on his palms, jumping up and down with his hands, and he got used to this way of moving without realizing it, and he even forgot that he hadn't reattached his lower body. Pei Ming took advantage of the fierce fight between him and Ke Mo, went out and dragged the lower half that was thrown on the ground nearby and couldn't move into the circle, threatening: "You'd better not act rashly."

However, this threat seemed very awkward. Because, if the hostage was a complete person, when saying this, Pei Ming could put his hands on the other person's neck, or grab the other person's crown, so that the scene would be very shocking, and it would not be just talk. However, now they only have the lower body in their hands, so where should he put his hands to avoid being embarrassed and at the same time shock the other person?

Unable to think of anything, Pei Ming had no choice but to step on his foot. Ming Guang asked, "Are you kidding me?"

Xie Lian also felt that this was too frivolous, so he said tactfully, “General Pei, stepping on his feet is not very convincing. Can you… make him feel that you have caught his weakness?”

Pei Ming said, "Your Highness, please don't speak so lightly. If Pei had not been unwilling to do such a shameless and vulgar act, do you think I wanted to step on him? Why don't you catch him at his weak spot?"

“…”

In short, neither of them wanted to take advantage of this weakness. Xie Lian said, "Forget it. Why don't we do this?"

After discussing for a while, the two of them grabbed Ming Guang's legs. This was more intimidating and not awkward. Xie Lian said, "Please step back, otherwise, your real body will be damaged again."

Mingguang sneered, "Ha! Do you really think my lower body is useless?"

As soon as the words fell, Xie Lian felt a murderous aura rising rapidly from his palm, and immediately threw his hand and said, “General Pei, be careful!”

The lower body that seemed dead before was caught off guard and kicked out two times. Pei Ming also shook his hands in time, so he was not hit by the two kicks with the wind of a sharp blade. The two legs turned over in the air, first landing on one knee, then slowly stood up and stood still. These few moves were very neat and impressive. Xie Lian couldn't help but say, "Good!" After praising, he immediately changed his words and said, "Not good!"

What good is good. He took the trouble to set up a formation and draw a protective circle just to prevent Mingguang from coming in. Now it's amazing, although Mingguang's upper body is still outside, his lower body has already come in!

Pei Ming also came to his senses and said, "We've fallen into a trap."

This kind of monster whose true body is divided into two halves, some have only the leading half that can move, and some have both halves that can move. It is impossible to confirm which category Mingguang belongs to, but his lower body has been lifeless just now, and it did not move even when stepped on, so Pei Ming thought it was the former, and thought he was pretending not to move. Mingguang clapped his hands outside the circle and laughed, "That's right! This is called inviting a wolf into the house and catching a turtle in the jar!"

Now there were three people in the circle. Hua Cheng closed his eyes and meditated. At the critical moment, Pei Ming's sword had been cut off by the bright light. Xie Lian's heart served as the door lock of the protective formation. Both of them were unarmed. Xie Lian could only say, "Damn it!"

The broken curved knife Erming immediately stood up and flew into Xie Lian's hands. Xie Lian grasped the handle and swung it to cut. Mingguang's lower body kicked out and took the blow. He took two steps back and almost got out of the circle. His upper body was outside the circle. His expression changed slightly and he seemed a little afraid. He clapped his hands and his lower body turned back to its original shape. A nearly three-foot-long green blade hung in the air with murderous intent.

Xie Lian didn’t often use a knife, but with E Ming in hand, he was quite handy. Just as he was about to meet him, Pei Ming said, “Your Highness, I don’t mean to cause trouble at this time, but it seems that there is something wrong with your City Lord Hua?”

Xie Lian was startled and looked back. As expected, Hua Cheng's brows were furrowed even more, and his hands, which were placed on his knees and formed a spell, were trembling slightly. As soon as he was distracted, the broken blade seized the opportunity to stab him. At this moment, E Ming broke away from Xie Lian's control and collided with the broken sword in the air with a clang!

Xie Lian said, “Eming, please hold on for a while!” He squatted in front of Hua Cheng and asked, “How could this happen? What went wrong?”

Pei Ming said: "Your Highness, please don't ask me. I am not as familiar with the Ghost King as you are!"

Xie Lian said to Hua Cheng, “San Lang? Can you hear me? Stop holding it in, come out!”

At this time, Mingguang shouted from outside the circle: "You dare to stop me with just a knife!"

As they spoke, Mingguang Broken Blade and E'Ming had clashed dozens of times in the air in an instant, sparks flying. If it was the usual scimitar E'Ming, he would have the upper hand, but now, in front of Mingguang's slender sword, the shrunken E'Ming looked like a child fighting an adult. Although fierce, he was inevitably restricted because his limbs were not long enough. There were several times when the situation was very critical, and Xie Lian took the time to look back in his busy schedule and said, "Be careful!"

After he finished shouting, Erming suddenly turned into a silver whirlwind and cut the broken blade. The bright light outside the circle screamed "Ah!" It seemed that he was hit hard this time. Xie Lian praised: "Good Erming!"

Pei Ming suddenly asked, "Wait, Your Highness, I feel like it got bigger when you praised it?"

Xie Lian looked closely and asked, “Really?”

Pei Ming said: "It seems so. How about you try again?"

Since it was just a compliment, Xie Lian said, “Okay. Erming, listen carefully: You are handsome, lovable, kind, smart, gentle, strong, and the best in the world…”

He stopped talking before he finished speaking. Pei Ming clapped his hands, while Ming Guang, who was outside the circle, looked incredulous and said angrily, "There is such a sorcery? How come I have never heard of it!"

It was absolutely true! Every time Xie Lian praised him, E Ming’s figure became slimmer. If he looked like a ten-year-old child just now, now he was probably a teenager of fourteen or fifteen!

The Broken Blade was unable to cope with the slightly grown Er Ming, and was struggling. Er Ming's blade trajectory was even more erratic and strange. Seeing that the outcome was about to be decided, Ming Guang outside the circle made a magic gesture. Pei Ming saw it and immediately said, "Not good, he has transferred all the magic power of the upper half to the lower half!"

Sure enough, the broken blade in the circle suddenly became surrounded by a thick layer of black energy. E Ming attacked it with his sword, but was deflected by the thick black energy and stabbed diagonally into the ground. Xie Lian quickly pulled it out and asked, "Are you okay?"

Pei Ming said, “It’s okay, just watch me.” Then he took the Er Ming from his hand. Xie Lian was just feeling strange, when suddenly his face went cold. With a “slap” sound, Pei Ming actually slapped Er Ming on his face, and the handle of the knife just happened to hit his mouth.

“…” Xie Lian took Er Ming off, rubbed the edge of his lips that were slightly numb from being slapped, and wondered, “General Pei, what’s the point of doing this?”

Pei Ming said: "Of course it does make sense, Your Highness, please look down."

Xie Lian lowered his head and was speechless. E Ming actually became slender again!

Mingguang couldn't help it and cursed outside the circle: "Damn, what kind of evil magic is this? Why don't you all use it all at once!"

Xie Lian said, “To be honest, I also want to know what the reason is.”

E'ming, full of energy, leaped up and slashed at Mingguang's broken blade again. The two fought fiercely in the air with a knife and a sword. Xie Lian looked at Huacheng again, while Pei Ming looked at Mingguang who was lying not far away. At the moment, all of Mingguang's magic power was transferred to the lower half of his body that was fighting with E'ming. The threat of his upper body was greatly reduced. Several people realized this. Pei Ming stood up and was about to go out to get him when a heavy footsteps came running. It was Ke Mo who came back and said hatefully: "You cunning Taoist priest from Central Plains, you lied again. You have been collecting junk all your life! They are not even nearby!"

Xie Lian hadn't expected to trick Ke Mo for long, but he came back earlier than expected, and it was difficult to deal with him at this critical moment. Ming Guang was overjoyed, and pointed at Fang Xin and said, "Big guy, hurry up! Knock down this sword and break the formation, and the people inside will be helpless!"

There was no need for him to remind her at all. With one horizontal chop of his palm, her heart tilted two inches. With another horizontal chop, her heart tilted two inches again. With another horizontal chop, her heart fell down!

The protective formation was finally broken!

The broken blade stopped fighting with E Ming and flew out of the circle, returning to Ming Guang's body, where it turned into two legs and connected into a complete human figure. Ming Guang jumped up, patted Ke Mo, pointed at Pei Ming, pointed at himself, then pointed at Xie Lian, and pointed at Ke Mo. Ke Mo understood that this meant to divide the prey, nodded, and with a pair of fists like iron sandbags, he walked towards Xie Lian who was blocking Hua Cheng.

Ming Guang stretched his legs and grinned, "Pei Ming, you want to thwart me again? Come and try it?"

Pei Ming said nothing. Mingguang sneered, "The general broke his sword, the general broke his sword, hehe! What a beautiful story. This kind of thing can actually become a beautiful story! It shows how blind the heaven is."

Pei Ming said: "I never considered it a good story."

Mingguang said: "Nonsense! You know best how many brothers and subordinates you have killed who have followed you for so many years."

At the same time, Ke Mo also approached Xie Lian. Xie Lian had E Ming in his hands, so he was not afraid of him, but was worried that if he was not careful, Hua Cheng behind him would get into trouble. Ke Mo saw that his eyes were not focused, as if he was thinking about something, and said, "Don't think of any conspiracy, I won't be fooled by anything you say!"

Xie Lian said, “I’m not lying to you. Ban Yue and General Xiao Pei were indeed in this area before, but they left after I notified them. Hey, Ban Yue? Why are you here?!”

Ke Mo said angrily: “Do you take me for a fool? Such a stupid trick…”

Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded above him: "Ke Mo!"

This sentence was in Banyue language, and it was a very familiar voice. Ke Mo immediately looked up, and a purple-red object fell in front of him. His face suddenly changed, and he held his head and yelled, "Get out!"

The thing that fell was the special venomous snake of the Half Moon Kingdom, the Scorpion Tailed Snake! And the person who threw it was naturally the state teacher of the Half Moon Kingdom.

Ban Yue jumped down from the tree and landed beside Xie Lian, saying, “General Hua…”

Xie Lian said to Ke Mo, “I told you a long time ago, it really is half a month…”

Ke Mo didn't listen to what he said at all. He just yelled at Ban Yue: "You threw me! You threw the scorpion tail snake at me! You knew I hated the scorpion tail snake the most, but you still threw it at me!!"

Ban Yue squatted down and said, "I'm sorry...but I only know how to throw a scorpion tail snake..."

Mingguang also noticed that the situation had changed, and asked vigilantly: "Who is coming?"

A black figure suddenly dropped from the tree, stopped in front of him, and said, "The former deputy martial god of Mingguang Palace, Pei Su!"

Pei Ming was surprised when a surprise attack came from the sky and asked, "Xiao Pei? Why are you here too?"

Xie Lian asked, “Ban Yue, aren’t you following Master Yu?”

Hearing the words "Master Rain", Pei Ming frowned slightly. Ban Yue said, "Well, so, I am also here with Master Rain this time."
