Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

Hearing Xia Hou's words, the three Lu Jianxing brothers couldn't help but look at each other with smiles on their faces.

Ning Caichen held the brush in his hand and stared blankly at Xiahou's back.

"What does it mean?"

"What else could it mean!" Ding Xian chuckled and whispered in Ning Caichen's ear, "Brother Xiahou was intimidated by the domineering aura emanating from my master, and he already has the intention to surrender."

"...Huh?" Ning Caichen's eyes widened and he subconsciously asked, "Why don't I feel this way?"

After saying that, Ning Caichen reacted and waved his hands quickly: "Brother Zhao, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean to say anything bad to you. On the contrary, I deeply agree with what you said, but -"

"It's just that you have the imperial court in your heart." Yan Chixia said calmly, "So even if you hear such remarks, your first reaction is to serve the imperial court in accordance with these words. Brother Xiahou is a reckless person, and it is easy to be fooled by such inciting people. Sexual remarks attract…”

"Besides, including last night, Brother Xiahou experienced four disastrous defeats in one day and one night. Two of them were defeated by me in swordsmanship, one was defeated by the female ghost in the pool in terms of mentality, and the last time was defeated by a sudden thunder method. attack."

"After four disastrous defeats, Xiahou's face is still cold, but in his heart he is already confused and lost."

"The reason why he fought with me as soon as he woke up was because he was confused and ashamed, and even began to doubt his own swordsmanship, so he wanted to find his strong heart of a swordsman in me..."

Ning Caichen asked subconsciously: "Then why didn't you lose to him?"

Yan Chixia was suddenly speechless and couldn't help but glare at him with black lines on her head.

Ding Xian said with a smile: "Nonsense, if you lose to him, Brother Yan's title as the best swordsman in the world will be gone!"

Yan Chixia blushed, coughed slightly, and turned to look at Zhao Lihe: "Brother Zhao's words are so inflammatory. To Xia Hou, they are like a torch lit in the dark night, making him find the way forward again."

"If I'm not wrong, Xiahou's swordsmanship has improved even more after this incident!"

Speaking of this, the expression on Yan Chixia's face was both gratifying and complicated.

As everyone had guessed, Yan Chixia and Xia Hou had been fighting for seven years and were both enemies and friends. Yan Chixia was also very happy to see Xia Hou take further steps in the art of swordsmanship.

But then again, Zhao Lihe's remarks are so inflammatory.

Yan Chixia was very worried that Xiahou would be seduced by Zhao Lihe and become a stepping stone for his ambition.

Zhao Lihe chuckled and said: "I thought that Hero Yan chose to live in seclusion here because he didn't know how to deal with trivial matters in the world, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Yan Chixia said lightly: "Of course I am not a young boy who doesn't understand the world, but it is precisely because I have seen the unpredictable nature of people's hearts that I hate this world more and more. People's hearts are separated from each other. Sometimes, getting along with others is really not as good as being with others. Ghosts are neighbors..."

Zhao Lihe laughed and shook his head: "Master Yan is trying to hit me!"

Yan Chixia sighed softly: "If Ning Shusheng said this, I would only regard it as the words of a sage, but Brother Zhao... If I read it correctly, you are like a dragon and tiger with anger. You are either a royal family or a member of the sage." A high-ranking official!"

No matter what kind of person he is, he is the most respected and noble person in the world.

And once this kind of people have this idea, a bloody storm will surely break out in the land of China.

Zhao Lihe said with a smile: "Master Yan will know my identity later, but for now, let's get back to business and discuss how to deal with the thousand-year-old tree demon first!"

"What else can we do?" Yan Chixia grabbed the sword and said coldly, "If you really find the true form of the thousand-year-old tree demon, take me with you to kill it, and we will cut that harmful evildoer into pieces. part!"

Ning Caichen said weakly: "Why don't you make a plan first?"

Yan Chixia shook her head and said: "It's useless. All the flowers, plants and trees in this mountainous area are the eyes and ears of the tree demon. No matter what plan, it can't be compared to attacking Huanglong directly."

"Besides, the tree demon's root system is intricate and spread all over the mountainous area. It is impossible to uproot it. The only way is to break all her claws that penetrate the ground. In this way, she will have to cultivate for at least hundreds of years. Only then can he come out to harm others again.”

"But remember to fight quickly and don't give her a chance to win."

After hearing Yan Chixia's words, Zhao Lihe frowned and thought, then nodded decisively.

"Okay, just do what Master Yan says!"

After saying that, Zhao Lihe turned to look at Ding Xian. Before he could give instructions, Shen Lian knelt down on one knee and said, "Master, let me stay and guard Brother Ning this time. The third brother is stronger than me. It’s suitable to go with you to slay demons!”

"..."

Zhao Lihe raised his eyebrows, glanced at Shen Lian, and instantly understood what he meant.

First of all, Shen Lian mastered the Five Thunder Methods, which overlapped with his own abilities.

Secondly, this thunder method once struck Xia Hou. If he suddenly came out of seclusion and rushed to the battlefield, he would be a little embarrassed to see Shen Lian using thunder.

These three visits are naturally for Ding Xian. He has mastered the art of sword control. If he can watch Yan Chixia fight with all his strength, he will definitely benefit a lot.

"I didn't think well enough."

Zhao Lihe nodded and said calmly: "Shen Lian, you stay, Jianxing, Ah Xian, you come with me to slay the monster."

The three brothers respectfully accepted the order: "Yes!"

…

…

In the deep mountains and old forests, the shadows are mottled, and the evil spirit is thick and foggy.

Zhao Lihe, Yan Chixia and others stepped into the fog and walked in the direction pointed by Xiao Qing.

Lu Jianxing and Ding Xian had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths, guarding Zhao Lihe, looking around with vigilant expressions.

Yan Chixia carried an arrow case on her back, held a long bow in her hand, and the arrow pot on her waist was filled with arrows made of brass. The arrows were wide and resembled a brass spatula, with cinnabar inscriptions on them to ward off demons and punish evil spirits. .

"The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger. We should soon find the identity of that smelly old woman..."

Yan Chixia looked alert and asked without looking back: "Brother Zhao, can you still identify the direction? I'm already a little confused."

Zhao Lihe took out the compass and saw that the pointer was spinning around. He could only sigh and said: "No, I can't identify it."

Yan Chixia frowned and said: "Then there is no other way. We can only follow the place where the evil spirit is strong, hoping to find..."

"No need to go to such trouble." Zhao Lihe interrupted him calmly, and then looked at the hazy fog in front of him and said, "Since this fog is covering your eyes, why not dispel it..."

Yan Chixia frowned and said: "This is not an ordinary fog, but a monster condensed with evil energy. It is difficult to blow it away with ordinary wind."

Zhao Lihe glanced at Yan Chixia: "Who said I would use the wind?"

The two looked at each other, and Yan Chixia was shocked to realize that Zhao Lihe's eyes had been filled with golden arcs at some point.

The next second, countless golden lightning suddenly erupted from Zhao Lihe's body. Hundreds of golden arcs intertwined and jumped on his body, rapidly branching and spreading in the air like spider webs and tree branches.

In an instant, a gravitational field containing powerful repulsive force was formed, pushing away the surrounding demonic mist layer by layer.

The white mist was like a frightened little beast, running away in all directions.

In just a few seconds, everyone's visible field of vision expanded from within five steps to fifty steps away.

Yan Chixia's eyes widened and she looked in shock at Zhao Lihe, who was erupting with golden lightning all over his body, like a god descending from heaven.

He originally thought that the three guard brothers were responsible for the force among the group, but he did not expect that Zhao Lihe, who seemed to be protected, was actually the most powerful one among the four!

Feeling the mutually canceling repulsion and attraction in her body, Yan Chixia couldn't help but ask:

"What kind of thunder method is this?"

"Gravitation God Thunder."

Zhao Lihe replied lightly, and then took a step forward.

In an instant, golden lightning burst out, and powerful repulsive force spread out layer by layer, blowing away all the demonic mist within hundreds of meters in front.

Although the fog formed by these evil spirits quickly healed, taking advantage of the opportunity for the fog to disperse, Zhao Lihe and Yan Chixia had already seen the true form of the tree demon grandma described in Xiao Qingkou.

It was an extremely thick ancient tree, standing under the cliff. Its trunk could hold ten people hugging each other. The diameter of the crown was more than a hundred meters. Countless branches hung down from the dense leaves, submerged into the soil, and connected with the ancient tree's complex root system. connected together.

"that's it!"

A flash of light flashed in Yan Chixia's eyes, she immediately opened her bow and nocked an arrow, and shot it without hesitation.

"call out--"

The arrow shot through the air, tore apart the demonic mist, and turned into a golden stream of light that shot towards the direction of the tree demon's body.

Zhao Lihe waved his hand casually, and a golden lightning immediately attached to it, turning into a small golden electric current and surrounding the arrow shaft.

The arrow accelerated again and disappeared into the mist in an instant.

The next second, faint cries of pain and wailing came from the mist.

Yan Chixia sneered, and immediately took steps towards the direction of the tree demon's body.

Before him, Zhao Lihe had already jumped up, his whole body covered with golden lightning, rushing forward like a bulldozer, using his repulsive force to repel the fog in front, while flying rapidly forward.

Brothers Lu Jianxing and Ding Xian also followed suit.

The former uses the power of Tiangang Qi and the indestructible power of the Vajra to prevent sneak attacks from tree demons in the fog.

The latter summoned two Shuangfeiyan, stepped forward, and walked with his sword.

Everyone showed their skills and moved forward quickly, preparing to launch a righteous group fight against this thousand-year-old tree demon.
