Volume 2: Memories of Yonghui (Part 1) Chapter 16: The Angry Sword Is Cold and Furious

Yao Ji and Mo Yi had a brief discussion on the back of the giant bird, thinking that if they continued walking eastward, they might gain something.
Mo Yi looked back with some sarcasm. The little black dot on the snowy field was still following closely behind him. He had to admire the black-clothed man named Si Qi. His lightness skills and physical strength were truly amazing.
An hour had passed, and not only had the other party not lost track of them, they seemed to be getting more and more excited in the pursuit, as if the one-hour long journey was just a warm-up jog.
It was indeed Mo Yi's idea to let Yao Ji deliberately leave him behind just now.
First, he wanted to suppress the other party's arrogance, so that he wouldn't be bored and always treat himself as an imaginary opponent. Mo Yi could actually feel the inquiring and eager look when the other party looked at him, so he felt very uncomfortable. Who wants to be stared at with the eyes of looking at fat meat?
Secondly, it was to save some spiritual power for Yao Ji. Although Yao Ji was very good at using the "Art of Transmutation of All Things", as long as it was a spell, it would consume spiritual power. Mo Yi didn't want to waste the little girl's spiritual power on someone who was useless.
Anyway, from the very beginning, Mo Yi had no sense of the man in black as a companion, so he just let him fend for himself and Mo Yi didn't care.
If he can keep up, it is his good fortune; if he can't, then he is unlucky.
As I said before, Mo Yi is a cold-blooded person most of the time, although he often uses a teasing smile to cover it up. However, the coldness hidden deep in his bones is exactly the same as the cold iron short blade in his hand.
Perhaps, God couldn't stand this half-grown boy playing it safe, and Mo Yi's pride didn't last long.
Without any warning, the originally white sky and earth suddenly changed color. Thousands and thousands of purple sword beams dotted around, densely packed, like a sudden downpour from the sky, covering the sky and the earth.
Before Yao Ji could even react, Mo Yi screamed, "Get down!" He pounced on Yao Ji in front of him and turned the giant bird over, with its belly facing up and its back facing down. Using the bird's huge body as a shield, he slightly blocked the first wave of lightsabers that fell from the sky and quickly fell to the ground.
However, the giant bird suddenly transformed back into the original small kite in mid-air. This "art of transformation of all things" is based on the mind. Yao Ji's mind was already in chaos, so she could no longer control it as she wished.
At this moment, both Yao Ji and Mo Yi were exposed to the rain of swords that was about to fall. Mo Yi's eyes flashed coldly, and he rarely took out his usual cold iron short blade.
In fact, at this moment, facing the rain of swords coming from the sky, it would be useless even if you took out ten or a hundred swords.
At a time like this, it would be unwise to try to hide your strength!
Although Mo Yi had always firmly believed that the old monster Zhuo Ao did not want to kill anyone, so he had always been in a playful state of mind and did not use his full strength, but the current situation made him doubt this idea. This was clearly a fatal move! Who knows what the old monster is thinking!
It seems that it is more important to save your life first!
I saw a mysterious dark green halo faintly appearing in the palm of his right hand. In the blink of an eye, a dark green sword about two feet long appeared in his hand as if out of thin air. There was a faint dark blue mark on the black and simple scabbard, and the shape was vaguely like a dragon pattern!
A beam of ice-blue light shot out from the tip of the knife in a graceful arc, cutting the rain of swords that were about to fall on the two of them into two pieces!
Almost at the same time, Yao Ji and Mo Yi both fell to the ground. Half a meter away from their sides, there were densely packed sword pits...
If Mo Yi had not acted in time, the two of them would probably have been covered with sword holes like the ones around them!
Yao Ji stroked her chest gently, recalling the past with some palpitations.
Looking at the man in black not far away, his condition was much better than the two of them.
Because of Mo Yi's scream in the sky, he had a little more time to prepare than Yao Ji and Mo Yi. It was just a little bit, but the effect was completely different.
But he raised his left hand, and like a cicada escaping from its shell, he quickly took off his black clothes and threw them above his head. With just one finger, the black clothes spun above his head like a piece of floral cloth in the hands of a juggler, and slowly opened like an umbrella. No one knew what material the black clothes were made of, but it was like a solid wall, shaking off the falling sword rain to the ground.
What is even more amazing is that after going through this baptism of sword rain, the black clothes were not damaged at all and looked as brand new as before.
This fellow named Siqi remained calm and pretended to brush off his black coat, then put it back on as if nothing had happened.
I really don't know what material it is made of! It is invulnerable to swords and knives!
Mo Yi and the man in black looked at each other expressionlessly, as if they both agreed with each other's behavior.
The snowstorm continued, and the ground turned white again. However, with the cultivation of the three people, they all felt that a greater danger was getting closer and closer...
After just a few glances, the three of them put aside their past grudges and instantly moved together, back to back, as if making a desperate fight!
Yao Ji muttered a spell, and a dark red film-like circular barrier suddenly appeared in front of the three of them!
The dark green long sword in Mo Yi's hand made a low humming sound and glowed faintly with green light, as bright as a full moon.
The man in black tore off the jade ring that he had worn around his neck as an accessory, and slowly put it between the thumbs of his right hand. Looking at the ring again, he saw that it was inlaid with a colorful red lotus, with a white light glowing in the center of the lotus.
At this time and place, perhaps understanding each other's situation, the three of them no longer held back on their unique skills. They each summoned a magic weapon and watched the movements around them in awe.
Along with the rustling sound of wind and snow, suddenly, there was a faint sound coming from far away!
With his outstanding hearing, Mo Yi first determined that it was a clanging sound like hitting stones. The sound was extremely scary and continuous. It seemed that there were quite a lot of people coming!
He whispered, "Here it comes!"
Then, from all directions, where the sky and the earth met, groups of monsters, densely packed and terrifying in number, came roaring in with clanging sounds. Their momentum, covering the sky and blocking the sun, was as neat as a surging water line, raising snow dust all over the sky and earth!
The three of them swallowed at the same time and pressed their backs tighter!
Mo Yi could even feel Yao Ji's body trembling slightly!
He thought to himself that the old monster Zhuo Ao really had good intentions. He spent so much money on a small Yonghui competition. If it weren't for that man's reputation, Mo Yi would really doubt whether he was a saint or the King of Hell. The thing in front of him was clearly here to take his life!
Soon, the three of them saw the appearance of the monster rushing towards them. It was a strange creature with a body shape that looked like a red leopard, but with five tails and one horn!
"It's 'Zheng'!" Yao Ji couldn't help but exclaimed! But she didn't know why this monster that originally only existed in ancient legends appeared here at this time.
Moreover, the number was so astonishing! They were so densely packed and overwhelming, like a mighty army. The sound alone was enough to scare people.
The group of strange beasts called "Zheng" now had their eyes wide open, their fangs sharp, their strong limbs stomping in the air, and they rushed towards the three people with great momentum!
"Should we run?" At this critical moment, the untimely words of the man in black floated into our eardrums faintly and tremblingly.
Yao Ji and Mo Yi looked at each other at the same time, thinking they had heard wrongly.
"To be honest, I don't really want to be their lunch." No one could believe that at this time, someone would have the leisure to make such a completely unfunny joke.
"Do you think you run faster or they run faster?" As if infected by the man in black, Yao Ji also made a rare joke, and the tension in her heart suddenly eased a lot.
"I just need to run faster than the two of you." Before he finished speaking, the strange beast had already arrived in front of him! It seemed that running away had become an impossible luxury!
The "ferocious" beast running in the front roared unrestrainedly and bit towards Mo Yi. Its sharp claws seemed to tear the tiny human in front of it into pieces!
Mo Yi swung out the dark green long sword without hesitation! One after another, ice-blue beams of light broke through the air and chopped right onto the strange beast that pounced from the air!
The strange beast only had time to make a few clanging sounds like hitting stones before it was split into several pieces in mid-air! The corpse pieces were blown away along with the snow, and the howling wind squeezed out even sharper screams!
Yao Ji was surrounded by a crowd of monsters. The monsters seemed to understand human nature and preferred young girls. They all ran to Yao Ji! Yao Ji was chanting some spells softly. As soon as the claws of the monsters touched the dark red barrier that Yao Ji had set up, the dark red barrier, like a thin film, suddenly changed into dark gold!
Yao Ji's left hand touched the air, and her deft fingertips hooked, flicked, flicked, and pushed...
Several golden talismans appeared around the dark golden barrier. As Yao Ji stretched her fingers, the golden talismans suddenly turned into light golden streams!
I only heard Yao Ji scolding softly:
"break!"
The streams of light that formed the hole stone piercing gold and emitted huge spiritual power fluctuations suddenly spread out in all directions! Like a torrent, like a tide, instantly annihilated the strange beasts around the barrier in the stream of light!
Not even a trace of residue was left, just like the earth before, clean and white!
