Chapter 555: The great demon Xiangliu was beheaded with one sword!
"Maybe, maybe not."
Lin Xingzhou asked back: "Lady Xia, you came back from overseas to make up for your regrets and remarry your... senior brother?"
When he said this, he felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Tai Wei shook her head and said calmly, "Senior Brother already has someone he likes. I came back this time just because I wanted to come back. I have never thought about getting married."
She has never regretted her choice.
This heart is only for the sword. Even if she falls in love with someone, she will never take care of her husband and children and continue the family line. That is not what she pursues.
To her, her senior brother was just a special passer-by.
Lin Xingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and was secretly happy, thinking that he still had a chance.
Haha, I don’t know how blind her senior brother is. He doesn’t even like such a charming woman. It’s a good opportunity for him.
"Lady, in fact, your longing may not necessarily mean love, for example-"
Suddenly, Tai Wei stopped, her eyes became sharp, and her slender jade-like fingers were already pressing on the hilt of the sword.
The wind between heaven and earth seemed to stop all of a sudden. A few fallen leaves floated down, but were chopped into powder in mid-air by the invisible sword energy and scattered into nothingness.
Lin Xingzhou and the other two suddenly felt their entire bodies stiffen, as if they were being pointed at by thousands of sharp swords, and every inch of their skin felt the fierce sword intent.
Previously, when Taiwei broke through the 86 armors with one sword, they were so far away that although they were astonished, they did not have such a direct feeling. Now they finally understand how powerful it was.
Just that trace of sword intent that escaped made people feel as if they were falling into an icy cave, with a chill on their backs.
Lin Xingzhou had no doubt that as long as the other party drew his sword, his head would be gone.
"Lady...Lady, even if you don't agree with me, you don't have to..."
"Shut up."
Tai Wei said indifferently, "There is a smell of blood in the barracks. A very strong smell of blood."
The three of them looked at each other, then simultaneously became alert and walked carefully towards the military camp.
When they entered the camp, they felt their scalps tingling.
Not only was there not a single living soldier to be seen inside, but the ground was littered with broken armor and weapons. Even more terrifying was the blood and flesh piled messily on the ground.
An arm in the east, a leg in the west...
There was a sound of footsteps.
Lin Xingzhou's face turned green. It turned out that he accidentally stepped on an eyeball and burst it. The juice flew everywhere, and it was extremely smelly.
Even though the three of them were veteran warriors who had seen a lot of fighting and killing, they still felt nauseous and wanted to vomit. Their faces turned black and they walked in fear.
Only Tai Wei remained calm and composed, walking quietly in this purgatory on earth with sharp eyes.
She was staring into a head. It was the head of a young man with handsome features, but his eyes were open at the moment. They were full of horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"He was very scared. Judging from the wound on his neck, it seemed that he had been bitten off by some ferocious beast."
Taiwei analyzed.
Lin Xingzhou said in disbelief: " What kind of beast can bite off everything below a person's neck?"
Monk Zhending, who was born in Shaolin, chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Maybe... it's a demon."
After hearing this, Lin Xingzhou's expression changed drastically.
As martial artists, they could fight ten to one even against well-trained Turkic soldiers, but if they faced those strange monsters...
Before the Tang Dynasty had set up the Zhoutian Xingdou formation to drive away demons, people like them in the martial arts world would avoid places where they heard there were demons.
Even if it's just a little demon.
"Strange, why is there such a small swamp in the military camp? And... it stinks!"
There were some small swamps scattered throughout the military camp, and they were extremely smelly. Lin Xingzhou and the other two felt dizzy and nauseous just by smelling them from afar.
Gurgle...
The swamp is still bubbling.
"Lady Taiwei, you come from a Taoist sect, do you know what kind of monster can create a swamp?"
The mad knife Shen Tuxiong had already drawn out his machete. There was an indelible trace of blood on the blade, which was left by killing too many people. The evil spirit was hidden, and it had a good restraining effect on ordinary demons and ghosts.
He had been a general in his early years. He was extremely fierce with his thirty-six-movement wind-pouring sword technique and had killed countless bandits.
Tai Wei thought about it seriously and said, "There are at least a thousand soldiers stationed in a military camp, and they are all well-trained soldiers. After forming a battle formation, the killing aura is enough to restrain the big monster in the Yin God Realm, but it still ended like this. It can be seen that the monster may be in the Yang God Realm."
Yangshen Realm!
Hearing these three words, Lin Xingzhou and the other two turned pale with fright, and even the murderous Shen Tu Xiong felt a little cold.
To these people in the martial arts world, the Yin Shen Realm is already a legend, and the Yang Shen Realm is the immortal on land, a top figure who is as elusive as a dragon!
You should know that even Li Daoxuan, the imperial master of the Tang Dynasty, was only at the Yangshen realm.
Tai Wei continued to analyze, "The Yangshen demon can also create swamps. It reminds me of a legendary demon from ancient times."
"What monster?"
Tai Wei's eyes narrowed and she uttered two words.
"Xiangliu."
Xiangliu was a great monster with a great reputation in ancient times. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Overseas North Classic" described it as "a snake with nine heads, who ate countless people and turned wherever it went into a swamp."
Legend has it that it is a subordinate of the water god Gonggong. It is huge in size, extremely brutal, and can forage for food on nine mountains at the same time!
When Dayu was controlling floods, it caused a flood to stop it. So Dayu used his divine power to kill it, but found that its blood was smelly, and the land where its blood flowed was barren, and the saliva that flowed out during its death formed a huge poisonous swamp!
Dayu tried to fill the swamp three times but it collapsed three times, so he had to open it up into a pond and build a high platform there to worship the gods.
Lin Xingzhou shook his head and said, "Lady, Xiangliu was killed by Dayu, how could he still appear here?"
The other two nodded.
Tai Wei said calmly: "I also hope that the monster is not Xiangliu, otherwise..."
She lowered her head to the ground beneath her feet and uttered something that made the three of them shudder.
"According to records, after eating, Xiangliu often does not leave immediately, but burrows underground to rest and wait for the next hunt."
For a moment, the three of them felt their hearts stop for a brief moment.
"In fact, it is very simple to verify whether it is Xiangliu."
Tai Wei picked up a spear from the ground and said, "Xiang Liu hates being disturbed when he is resting. You three, stay away and hide well."
Lin Xingzhou and the other two looked at each other.
"Lady, what are you going to do?"
Tai Wei did not answer, but a sword light flashed in her eyes, and the spear in her hand was suddenly surrounded by invisible sword intent, like a magic sword that could split mountains and rocks!
boom!
The spear thrust downwards suddenly, and the hard ground became like tofu under the tip of the spear. With a roar, the spear had penetrated into the ground, cracking the earth and shattering the rocks, and was indestructible.
It was like a steel needle falling vertically into the tender tofu.
Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet...
When it was fifty feet underground, the spear finally stopped.
It was not because the sword intent had dissipated, but because it hit something harder than black iron. First the tip of the gun turned into fragments, and then the gun barrel made of wax wood broke into pieces and turned into powder.
Only the invisible sword intent remained, its form dissipated but its spirit remained, and it pierced fiercely into the hard place.
roar!
The next moment, a roar of shock and anger was heard in the vast land, and then cracks began to appear in the ground beneath the feet, as if a dragon was turning over and the mountains and rivers were shifting.
Lin Xingzhou became anxious and ran towards Taiwei.
The ground cracked open beneath her feet, and a huge and terrifying figure emerged from it. It was actually a giant snake, about dozens of feet long, covered with blue-black scales, and emitting a strong fishy smell.
The most terrifying thing is its head. Although it is a snake head, it vaguely looks like a human face, especially the pair of snake eyes, which hide a frightening coldness and bloodthirstiness.
It opened its mouth wide, stood its body high, and looked down at Taiwei like a god. The saliva from its mouth fell to the ground, forming small swamps.
There was a deep sword scar on the snake demon's neck, from which black blood continuously flowed, corroding the ground until no grass grew.
roar!
The snake demon bit towards Taiwei. Its huge mouth looked like a black hole emitting a strong fishy smell, and its sharp fangs were vaguely visible.
"careful!"
Lin Xingzhou pounced on Tai Wei, trying to hold her and escape using his martial arts skills.
He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was so irrational that he was willing to risk his life for a woman he had only known for a few days.
At the same time, he also knew that Lady Taiwei's martial arts were too powerful, and her sword heart was like the ice and snow on the mountains that never melted all year round. If he wanted to impress her and defeat that senior brother, he could only risk his life.
To die under the peony flowers is to be a romantic ghost.
Tai Wei didn't even look at him. Her bright sword eyes quietly stared at the snake demon that was like a giant beast hanging from the sky, and her palm gently pressed on the hilt of the sword.
A light breeze blew the hair on her forehead, and her black and white robe fluttered gently.
Just as the snake demon was about to swallow her, a clear and loud sword sound rang out.
clang!
A ray of snow-white sword light emerged, not dazzling, just a faint line, extremely condensed and almost invisible.
Like the first ray of sunshine in the rising sun.
It was like the last ray of sunlight as the sun set.
roar!
The snake demon roared again, but this time it was not a protest, but a miserable wail.
A red line emerged from its neck, and its cold and bloodthirsty pupils first showed horror, and then deep fear, and the emotions were very human.
The sound of the sword being sheathed rang out softly, like spring water flowing under the moonlight.
Tai Wei's fluttering hair returned to calm, and her extremely sharp sword eyes gradually faded away. The sword energy around her body was deeply hidden, without revealing a single bit.
Boom!
The huge snake head smashed to the ground, its neck was covered in blood and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
Perhaps it was God's will, the head of the snake demon that was beheaded by a sword just happened to roll together with the head of the soldier who died with his eyes open.
One is as big as a mountain, the other is as small as dust, but they both died in the same way.
Tai Wei Yu stood at the edge of the pit, her figure outstanding, her tight robe fluttering, outlining a graceful curve, her slender hand still pressing on the hilt of the black-scabbard ancient sword, the black and white clearly distinguished.
She slightly turned her body, and her clear eyes looked at Lin Xingzhou, who was halfway through the run with his arms outstretched, and her voice was calm.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Xingzhou stood in the wind, as if petrified. An indescribable embarrassment spread in his heart, making him want to dig his toes into the ground.
"Um... I wanted to save you... "
"Thank you, but it's not necessary. Just hide yourself."
"Hasn't this snake demon already been killed by you? Why are you still hiding?"
Lin Xingzhou stepped forward and wanted to observe the still wriggling snake head. This was the first time he had ever seen a monster in his life, so he was naturally very curious.
Taiwei shook her head.
"It's not over yet."
Lin Xingzhou was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he felt the earth shaking violently again. Cracks appeared one after another, and a hill in the distance collapsed.
Boom!
Eight huge snake heads rushed out from the ground, roaring towards the sky, and a snake body with its head chopped off had flesh and blood bulging at the cut, and a new head grew out in a short while.
The nine-headed snake body and eighteen lantern-like scarlet snake pupils stared at Taiwei, revealing hatred and bloodthirstiness.
The pain of beheading awakened it completely from its slumber!
“Xiang…Xiang Liu!”
Lin Xingzhou was so frightened that his legs went weak. In front of this majestic and terrifying beast, he was so small that the fear brought by the giant creature made him tremble uncontrollably.
It's shameful, really shameful!
He tried hard to control his fear, but found that no matter how anxious he was, his body kept shaking and he could hardly move.
roar!
This time Xiangliu seemed to have learned its lesson. It did not choose to get close, but opened its big mouth and sprayed streams of water towards Taiwei.
That was the flood it summoned. Different from ordinary water, this brown flood was bitter, spicy and extremely corrosive. Even if an iron man fell into it, he would turn into a pool of molten iron in a moment!
The nine fountains were like a mighty river rushing down from the sky, submerging the vegetation and the camp, corroding everything.
Only Tai Wei stood out, and the flood was split apart by an invisible sword intent three feet in front of her, as if rivers were changing their courses and oceans were diverted.
"Help!!!"
The Mad Blade Shen Tuxiong and the Monk Zhending hurriedly ran behind Taiwei, their faces turning pale.
They finally understood that when facing Xiangliu, the only way to save their lives was to stay with this mysterious woman.
Tai Wei frowned slightly, and her jade hand on the hilt of the sword did not move for a long time.
She practiced the indomitable sword art of killing. She could cut through mountains and cut off water. Normally, she could use her sword power to cut a flood in half, and even prevent the water from gathering for months.
But these brown floods concealed some extraordinary demonic power, which not only corroded the mountains, rivers and vegetation, but also slowly eroded her well-refined sword intent, making it impossible to cut through them completely.
If she were overseas, she would have flown into the sky, drawn her sword, and fought hard, but now she has three mortals to protect behind her, so she is inevitably a little constrained.
She is a sword cultivator, but not cold and heartless. Born in Longhu Mountain, she has been educated in orthodox Taoist thoughts since childhood. She will try her best to protect the innocent when she can.
Moreover, after spending these days together, I found that Lin Xingzhou and the other two had good personalities. They were born in the countryside but cared about their country and took the risk of going deep into the Turkic region to gather intelligence. To my senior brother, they were also meritorious people...
Crash!
The flood was spreading across the sky and was about to completely surround the four people.
Taiwei clenched the hilt of the sword, her eyes narrowed.
In that case, let's use that trick, even though it's not completely perfect yet.
A golden sword light began to appear in her eyes, sharp and unmatched. The ancient sword in the sheath was constantly shaking, and even a tiny crack appeared on the sword.
Just then, a thunderous sound was heard.
Boom!
The thunder tore through the sky and struck Xiangliu.
In the thundercloud, a figure appeared and disappeared.
Tai Wei's eyes lit up.
"It's the thunder method of Longhu Mountain."
