Before the behemoth approached Li Xiuping, layman Qingming appeared in front of Li Xiuping first, and then a majestic sword energy rose directly into the sky, knocking the water monster away and falling into the river again, causing a sudden storm.
And as the behemoth fell into the river, the entire river boiled again, and the same vortexes as before continued to appear. In just an instant, countless similar water monsters appeared on the entire river.
Although these water monsters are not strong, they are so numerous that even a strong warrior in the Fusion Stage like Qingming Jushi will find it difficult to kill them all at once.
Now that the blue water unicorn is no longer there, the strength of Li Xiuping and his group has naturally weakened. Especially in such a large-scale battle, it will be relatively easy to have one more god-transformation stage spirit beast.
Seeing the increasing number of water monsters, Master Qingming frowned and said, "This is obviously coming for us. Obviously, the previous peace is all waiting here."
Li Xiuping frowned and said: "Senior, what you mean is who of these water monsters are driven by people, and the people who want to drive these water monsters to deal with us are naturally only demons, or people who are involved with demons."
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "I have been in the realm of Tianchan Temple before, but now I have just left the realm of Tianchan Temple. Such a thing happened. Apart from this, I really don't know any other reasons."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "To be able to drive so many golden elixir stage monsters, the person behind this is probably not weak. He must be in the distraction stage anyway."
The layman Qingming shook his head and said: "Even a monk in the distraction stage cannot control so many golden elixir stage monsters at the same time, unless there is more than one person."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown again.
So many golden elixir stage monsters are already a big trouble, and the people behind them who control these monsters are the real threat. Therefore, the more powerful the people behind them and the more people there are, the greater the threat will naturally be.
Qingming layman continued: "You watch them, I will deal with these monsters."
He then reminded: "Be careful. Since the other party is coming for you, they will definitely regard you as their primary target."
Li Xiuping returned to his original position and stood with Chu Yan and others, guarding against the surrounding situation.
In front of him, layman Qing Ming rose into the sky, holding the fairy sword Qing Ming on his back directly in his hand, the sword glow overflowing.
He first pushed his sword forward, and the sword energy suddenly rose like a great tide. In an instant, countless monsters were wiped out in the sword energy.
At the same time that Master Qingming took action, those monster beasts also began to attack. As Master Qingming said, the main target of these monsters was Li Xiuping, and they simply ignored Master Qingming in the air.
Li Xiuping said in a deep voice: "Take them back."
Master Huo Ling immediately pulled Chu Yan and Yang Erni and retreated quickly.
Just as Master Huo Ling left with the two little girls, countless demonic beasts came crashing down on him, using their bodies as weapons to continuously attack Li Xiuping.
On Li Xiuping's body, the dragon scale armor emerged, with purple-gold flames burning all over his body. His body moved quickly on the ground, avoiding those monster beasts and at the same time hitting some monster beasts with the hatchet in his hand. fly.
Since Yan Xin regained consciousness, Li Xiuping's injuries have not only improved, but his strength has also been greatly improved. Even if he doesn't know how to use the sword, it is not difficult to deal with these monsters with his own martial arts training.
Li Xiu Ping usually punched and sometimes used a knife, but every time he would not return without success, and those seemingly powerful monsters, after encountering Li Xiu Ping's fist, would be blown to pieces by the force of the fist's explosion. Blurred, some even the entire body will be blown to pieces.
If Li Xiuping hadn't been guarding against sneak attacks from the strong men behind them, the situation of these monsters would have been even more miserable.
However, even if Li Xiuping and Master Qing Ming attack at the same time, it seems unstoppable, and those monster beasts cannot pose any threat to them, but there are too many of those monster beasts, and they are not afraid of death, as if they can kill them no matter what. There is no end, and there is even a feeling that the more you kill, the more you kill.
Almost every time the two of them killed one, more monsters would appear in the river, as if all the monsters in the river had gathered here.
It seems that what layman Qingming said is right. The other party must have been prepared for waiting until now, so it may not be easy for them to cross the river.
No matter how strong Qingming and Li Xiuping are, no matter how capable they are of killing each other, it is obviously not an option to continue fighting like this, because once the battle continues, Qingming may be able to sustain it, but Li Xiuping may not be able to.
Although Yan Xin's awakening relieved many of Li Xiuping's physical conditions, protracted fighting was his shortcoming. The opponent obviously knew this, so he chose this method to block him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight until No one has come forward now.
Li Xiuping was naturally very aware of his shortcomings and knew that such a situation was not good for him, so when dealing with those monsters, he used a few tricks and deliberately used several loopholes, but the person behind it still did not take action. It can be seen that unless all these monsters are killed or Li Xiuping and Qingming are defeated, the people behind them will probably not take action.
After killing another wave of monsters, Master Qingming said, "These monsters cannot leave the river too far. Let's retreat first and then think of a way to deal with them."
In response to Master Qingming's suggestion, Li Xiuping nodded, stopped entangled with those monsters, and began to retreat as far away from the river as possible.
As Li Xiuping and the two retreated, the attack of those monster beasts became more fierce. One after another, the giant monsters kept hitting the ground. The roar was endless, and the whole ground was shaking. Because of the obstruction of Li Xiuping and layman Qingming, Master Huo Ling has taken Chu Yan and Yang Erni away from the river to a relatively safe place.
On a hill, two little girls looked at the battle ahead. While they were filled with shock, they couldn't help but worry about their master's safety.
Although they know that their master is very powerful, and even in their hearts, their master is an invincible existence, but there are too many monsters, and their fearless fighting style will make anyone see it. numb.
As Li Xiuping and Master Qingming continued to move away from the river, the offensive of the monsters began to weaken, and finally stopped completely. All the monsters, whether injured or not, retreated into the river. In just an instant, the entire river Calmness returned. If it weren't for the corpses of the monsters on the shore, the traces caused by the battle, and the strong smell of blood that filled the air, it would almost make people think that nothing happened before.
After the monsters stopped attacking, Li Xiuping and Master Qingming breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at the surging river in front of them with heavy expressions.
The layman Qingming put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard on his back and said: "The opponent's purpose is obvious, which is to prevent us from going south, so as long as we don't get close to this river, there should be no danger for the time being."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Now everyone knows that I was seriously injured. If I can't get timely treatment, I will die. They tried all kinds of methods before, and even the Demon Lord couldn't kill me personally. Naturally, I know it’s not easy to kill me, but as long as I’m not allowed to go south, they won’t have to take action when my injuries occur, and my own life will be in danger, so they can naturally achieve what they want.”
The layman Qingming nodded and said: "So this is indeed a trouble, because for them, it would be much easier if they just blocked it."
Li Xiuping looked away from the river and said, "Find a place to stay first, and then make plans."
With that said, the two turned around and rushed towards the three people of Huo Lingzhenren. At this time, the blue water unicorn came quickly, but the battle was temporarily over, so they looked at the battlefield ahead and frowned slightly.
Li Xiuping asked directly: "How?"
Bishui Qilin recovered his thoughts and replied: "About fifty miles to the east, there is a small town, which is a must-pass for many people crossing the river."
After that, everyone headed east and entered the small town that Bishui Qilin mentioned before dusk.
Although the small town is not big, it should be the only way to go from south to north, so it is quite prosperous, and there are many cultivators in the city. Even those who escort people across the river are actually from a cultivating sect, but Its overall strength is not as good as that of Huayang Sect, otherwise it would not be doing this kind of business.
As soon as Li Xiuping and others entered the city, several people came to greet them. One of them smiled and said, "Are you going to the south?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Exactly."
The man smiled and said: "You may not know that there are many powerful monsters in this river. It is not easy to cross the river without someone to escort them. Although our Kongyun Sect has always wanted to get rid of them, These ferocious beasts, however, there are too many ferocious beasts, and they have always been hiding in the depths of the river. It is difficult to eradicate them all. However, this is the territory of our Hongyun Sect after all, and we cannot allow these ferocious beasts to do evil. Therefore, our Hongyun Sect The leader decided to set up a ferry on the riverside to escort people coming and going."
Speaking of this, he smiled slightly and continued: "It's just that this spirit boat is worth a lot of money after all, and our Kongyun Sect doesn't really have much wealth, and if there is a conflict with the monster, my disciples of the Kongyun Sect will also die. It’s dangerous, so if the people crossing the river need our escort from the Kongyun Sect, they need to spend some money appropriately, a few of you..."
Li Xiuping interrupted directly: "How many per person?"
The man then said: "Five spiritual stones for adults and three for children. Of course, this is only for practitioners. If you are an ordinary person, you will be charged according to silver. How many of you should be practitioners?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Yes."
The man added: "Of course, this charge is not certain. It depends on your realm. If you are at a high realm, you can naturally pay less spiritual stones, or even not pay at all. After all, once you encounter a monster in the water, your realm will be different." People with high cultivation can also contribute."
Li Xiuping smiled and said: "It seems that you are not doing it for money, but really want to help people cross the river."
The man quickly said: "This is natural."
He then asked: "I wonder what realms these people are in?"
Li Xiuping and Master Qingming looked at each other and smiled at each other.
