Chapter 154 Half-Demon in the Firelight
Mu Xingqiu couldn't forget the black wolf. He did not find any demonic aura, but the black wolf was staring at him at that time. The emotions in its eyes were not like those of an ordinary animal. This made him feel uneasy.
The experienced Taoist priests around him did not think that the black wolf was unusual. Even Shen Jiyi of Yashan did not take any measures when he saw the black wolf disappear.
Mu Xingqiu exhaled lightly and tried his best to get rid of the random thoughts in his mind. This is the way it is. Being in a team, he cannot go against everyone because of his stubbornness. No matter how special the black wolf is, it is still an ordinary wolf. In the hands of the Taoist priests, it is like a mouse meeting a cat and has no power to resist.
Tian Qianmo raised his hand to signal to stop, then turned around and stared at Mu Xingqiu silently. This was the face he saw almost every day during the three years of reflection. He himself spent days and years in the cave and experienced the transformation of wind and frost, but the other party was just a little taller and more mature, and his appearance had hardly changed.
Others did not follow. This was the first time the two were alone together.
"Are you very proud?" Tian Qianmo asked.
"It's just killing two little demons, what's there to be proud of?" Mo Xingqiu met the two gazes on the opposite side. He was not afraid of this person before, and he is even less afraid now.
"Hey, that's right, they are just two little monsters. Under normal circumstances, it's not even worth it for Pangshan to send Taoist priests. We can just hand them over to the armies of the vassal states. After all, this is just an ordinary exercise. We have tried magic. Do you want to change to another way of fighting?"
"You are the guide. This matter is up to you to decide."
Tian Qianmo's eyes changed several times, and after a while he said: "I decided... we don't use magic, just use fists and feet to get rid of the remaining monsters."
"You said 'we,'?"
"Of course, how could I let you go alone? The only disciple of the Mind Department of the Nine Dao Sects, if something happens, I can't take the responsibility." Tian Qianmo's weird tone returned to the old look a little bit, "Just the two of us, no magic. Face to face, kill the monsters with our own hands, just like... what you did back then."
Mu Xingqiu did not kill Qi Wuxia back then, but he and his companions did fight the wolf monster barehanded.
"Okay." He said, paused for a moment, and asked: "Is this a bet or a new fighting method?"
"It counts as both. Taoists also have close combat methods."
Mu Xingqiu knew that Tian Qianmo's statement was deliberately misleading. The Taoist tradition respects magic. Even if forced to engage in close combat, the core means is still magic. And you have to get away from the enemy as soon as possible. But he doesn't care. In fact, he is more confident in his boxing skills than magic.
"Are you starting now?"
"Since it's a bet, there must be a winning and losing standard and a bet."
"You say."
"There are three demons twenty miles ahead. Whoever kills two of them wins. As for the bet, if I win, I want your purple-veined sword. If you win, I will give you five gold souls. The value is enough to match your sword."
Tian Qianmo didn't lie. Five gold souls can indeed buy a purple-veined sword, and there is even a surplus.
"You have five gold souls?" Mu Xingqiu had to ask such a question. Gold souls are rare. Some Taoists may not be able to own a few in their entire lives. Tian Qianmo is not a Taoist disciple, nor a member of a secular family. He does not look like a wealthy person.
"I dare to bet with you. I naturally have the capital." Tian Qianmo said coldly, "As long as you can win."
"Okay,
The one who kills two monsters first wins." Mu Xingqiu was preparing to refine his main magic weapon. It does require a golden soul.
"Even if you accidentally use a spell, you lose." Tian Qianmo added.
The two looked at each other for a while, secretly competing with their eyes, and then turned around at the same time and set off in different directions.
The life span of a Taoist is much longer than that of an ordinary person. Most of the time is spent on cultivation. The magic power is getting deeper and deeper, and the horizon will become wider and wider. Only the development of the mind is unbalanced. Mu Xingqiu is 19 years old, and Tian Qianmo is in his twenties, but the desire to compete is still as hot as a teenager.
Tian Qianmo knew that the Nianxin Department is good at spells and boxing, but he still dared to make such a bet. Naturally, he knew it in his heart. Mu Xingqiu looked back and saw Tian Qianmo leaping onto a huge rock and disappearing into the rocks in an instant. His agility was completely different from that of more than three years ago.
Three years of reflection, without the support of high-level Taoist priests, meant that he dared not think about practicing for three years. Tian Qianmo spent most of his time practicing boxing and kicking. Now, like Mu Xingqiu, he practiced physical training more than five-element magic.
They were three half-demons, with bodies and limbs that were almost the same as humans. They were wearing tattered animal skin coats, with long swords and spears beside their legs, like a group of robbers who had lost their companions, but their appearance was very different from that of humans. They all had green faces and fangs, and their hair was like mane, tied into a bunch, and towered high, like the tassels on the helmet.
Most of the half-demons were citizens of the Sheshen Kingdom. Like the human kingdom, there were also murderers and robbers there. When they were hunted, they fled to the land of demons and joined the pure demons and demons, becoming enemies of the Taoist tradition.
Most of the half-demons don't have demon pills, but they are stronger physically. They can only cause some trouble to the Taoist priests because of their large numbers. However, the demonic aura of these three half-demons can be detected from dozens of miles away. They are obviously quite capable.
Mu Xingqiu hid behind a pile of rocks and observed for a while. He found that the key to winning or losing this bet was not the skill, but the speed. Whoever made the first move would achieve the goal first. Those who were a step slower might not even be able to kill a half-demon.
But he was not in a hurry to take action. Li Yuechi, the first Five Elements Taoist priest he had ever seen in his life, left a deep impression on him. Although he was somewhat reckless in the eyes of outsiders, he was very cautious in his heart.
There was indeed something unusual about those three half-demon. They sat on the edge of a cliff, lit a fire, grilled rabbits and other small animals, ate them, and threw their weapons on the ground without any urgency. Affection.
They were caught here to cooperate with Pangshan Taoism's demon elimination drill. They didn't even have a trace of fear. They seemed to have seen through life and death and just wanted to have a good time in the last period of time.
Or they set a trap to kill the enemy - there is no magnificent scenery on the edge of the cliff, and it is very strange to sit there and eat and drink.
Mu Xingqiu continued to observe and found nothing unusual. It wasn't long before he had to take action because he saw Tian Qianmo approaching three half-demon quickly from another direction without even hiding their whereabouts.
The half-demon had been talking loudly in their own language, and soon discovered the approaching enemy. One of the demons stood up and said loudly in human language: "The fake lady of Pangshan is finally here, welcome!"
The Taoist priests, both male and female, all wore blue robes with hairpins on their heads. Therefore, the half-demon called the male Taoist priests "fake wives." When Mu Xingqiu heard this name for the first time, he curled his lips, jumped out of his hiding place, and sped up. Close to target.
The other two half-demon also stood up, threw away the uneaten food in their hands, grabbed the swords and guns on the ground, and prepared to face the enemy.
"Tsk tsk, Pangshan really has no one to use, so he sent out two little fake girls." The half-demon continued to provoke, gently shaking the five-six-foot-long sword in his hand, "It's really unlucky that I want to fight against an unknown person. "
Tian Qianmo arrived first and shouted: "Pangshan Taoist Tian Qianmo, let you know who the unknown person is!"
"I..." The half-demon wanted to say his name, but Tian Qianmo had already killed him, so he had to shut up and wave his sword to fight. The snow-white blade suddenly glowed green. Sure enough, he was not an ordinary half-demon. He had learned it from the land of demons. Some black magic.
Although Tian Qianmo was eager to win the bet, he refused to take the risk. He turned midway, put his toes on a nearby rock, changed direction again, and attacked the second half-demon. The half-demon held a spear and danced with a green light. But he didn't even touch the enemy's clothes.
Tian Qianmo changed his moves several times, and in the blink of an eye he had already used one move on each of the three half-demon. Only then did Mu Xingqiu arrive. He was still observing along the way to make sure there were no more demons ambush nearby before joining the battle group. .
The three half-demon's weapons were not weak, and the green color on their weapons was obviously some kind of demonic poison. The two Taoist priests could not kill them in just a moment by fighting with their own strength without using magic.
Two half-demon faced the enemy, but the third half-demon was talking nonsense: "Is there anyone in Pangshan? They actually sent two girls who don't know magic to fight. Haha, the ancient gods are about to perish. This is a sign! Brother! We, use all your strength, and treat us as the first group of vanguards to attack Pangshan. Even if we die here, there will be demon army to avenge us in the future..."
This half-demon didn't take much action, but kept nagging, reducing the Taoism to nothing. Although the two young Taoist priests refused to cast spells because of the bet, they were also angered at this time, and no longer wasted time testing, each came out Attack hard. .anh． c
Tian Qianmo kicked the long knife away from the enemy's hand, and hit the half-demon squarely in the forehead with his second kick. The half-demon fell backwards and screamed, seeing that he would not live much longer.
Mu Xingqiu strictly abided by the agreement. He did not use magic or even recite the incantation silently. He only relied on speed to rush to the enemy and knocked him away with one punch. He fell straight to the cliff and there was no way to survive.
There is only the third half-demon left, and whoever kills him wins the bet.
The half-demon would not wait for death. At the moment when the two Taoist priests made a vicious attack, he raised his spear, stabbed the fire at his feet, and shouted loudly: "Nine mountains will fall, and the demon clan will rise!"
The bonfire that was almost extinguished suddenly grew to several feet high, engulfing the half-demon. He was not burned to death, and he did not even feel the burning pain. He danced the fire spear and drew a circle of fire floating in the air.
Tian Qianmo, who had always seemed very aggressive, retreated very promptly. He seemed to have expected this move from the half-demon. Before the fire ring arrived, he had already jumped back a dozen steps and successfully escaped from the battle group.
Mu Xingxing participated in the demon elimination drill for the first time, but his experience was still too little. He was left in the fire ring and faced the fire demon alone.
"Use magic!" Tian Qianmo reminded loudly. This time he finally had a firm grasp on victory, but he overestimated the power of his previous kick and did not notice that the half-demon he kicked down was crawling towards him.
