The two men and one beast took action, which immediately reduced the pressure on each spirit boat a lot. Everyone was shocked by the powerful strength of these three people and could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
On the spirit boat, the elder of the Hongyun Sect murmured yesterday: "It seems that they were the ones who killed those monsters yesterday."
A disciple of the Kongyun Sect asked in confusion: "Since they have such strength, why do they have to cross the river with us? Can't they just go directly in the air?"
The elder of the Kongyun Sect shook his head and said: "How can we guess the thoughts of a strong man of this level? Maybe they want to take the opportunity to get rid of all the monsters in the river, but if they take action, these monsters He will definitely not come forward, so he took action while waiting for me to cross the river."
The Kongyun Sect disciple frowned and said, "So we are all bait?"
The elder of the Kongyun Sect nodded and said faintly: "The heaven and the earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs. The saints are unkind and treat the common people as stupid dogs. It's absolutely true."
When he said this, there was inevitably some bitterness on his face.
At this time, the layman Qingming in front said: "I will open the way for you and continue crossing the river."
The elder of the Kongyun Sect nodded, and then conveyed the order, and the major spirit boats began to gather their formations again and continue moving forward.
With Li Xiuping and the others taking action, it was difficult for those monsters to get close to the spirit boat for a while. Under the powerful power of these three people, the fog was also dispersed a lot. Occasionally, some fish slipped through the net, and the monks on the spirit boat It can also be dealt with.
Just walking along like this, we soon reached the center of the river. At this time, more and more monsters appeared. Even the Qingming layman could not kill them all at once, and his speed was hindered. .
The layman Qingming who was opening the way was blocked, and the spirit boats were naturally blocked. After moving forward for a while, they stopped on the river.
If he were elsewhere, Master Qingming could still move forward, but now that he was affected by the formation, being able to reach here with a sword was already considered the limit.
Of course, with his strength, if he wants to leave, let alone these monster beasts, even if there are twice as many and twice as strong, they can't do anything to him, but their current purpose is to break the blockade of these monster beasts and continue Go south.
Of course, if they want to go south, they can directly control the air and avoid these monster beasts. However, since the people in the dark can use these monsters to stop them, they may have made preparations in the air, so it will not be easy to control the air. In addition, Li Xiuping's current situation is that he can only stay in the air for a short time. Once he leaves the ground for too long, he will still be affected. If something happens, Qingming Jushi and the clear water unicorn will not only take care of him, but also take care of him. Chu Yan and Yang Erni's situation will only be worse than now.
Layman Qingming said: "Use the wine bottle on your body to temporarily reduce the water in the river."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, and then without thinking much, he directly took off the wine bottle from his waist, and then drove the wine bottle. The wine bottle hung upside down above the river, and then released a powerful suction force, and the entire river surface suddenly formed a huge The whirlpool was like a dragon sucking water, constantly being sucked into the wine pot.
As the river water continued to be absorbed, the water level of the river began to drop, and the fog actually decreased again.
Li Xiuping finally understood why Master Qingming asked him to absorb the river water. Obviously, the operation of the formation required the blessing of the river water. The less the river water, the weaker the power of the formation.
As a result, Li Xiuping worked even harder, eager to put the entire river water into the wine pot at once.
The water level of the river is still falling at a visible speed, and the wine pot is still absorbing it, as if the entire river cannot fill the small wine pot.
The river water continued to hold on, the formation was continuously weakened, and the layman Qingming continued to fight forward. The spirit boats followed closely behind the layman Qingming and continued to advance.
There are Li Xiuping and the clear water unicorn guard on the left and right, and the Qingming layman is opening the way in front. The entire spirit boat team is safe for the time being, but people are a little confused. It is obviously easier to turn around now, because there are no monsters behind. These three people Why do we have to cross this river?
However, if the three people did not look back, they naturally had no choice but to follow, because the reason why they were safe now was because of the existence of these three people. Once they were separated from the protection of these three people, the previous situation would only happen again.
Now people have a worry, that is, if the young man really puts the entire river water into that wine pot, the spiritual boat will not be able to move forward without the river water as a support. Will they then be able to move forward? Abandoning the spirit boat and running to the other side relying on legs? Or are these three people planning to reach the other side of the river before it disappears?
Fortunately, after moving forward for a while, the gourd could no longer absorb the river water. At this time, the entire river water had been reduced by half, and it would have to wait until night to return to its original height.
Although everyone did not understand the meaning of these three people's actions, as the water in the river decreased, the strength of those monsters seemed to be suppressed. The old swordsman who had already found it difficult to move forward was now in full swing. , the sword energy was rolling in the sky, and monster beasts were constantly being chopped down into the river. The originally turquoise river was now completely dyed red with the blood of monster beasts, and the entire river surface was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Li Xiuping took the wine bottle back, instead of hanging it directly back on his waist, he raised his head and took a sip.
As the battle progresses now, it is obvious that he has already found it difficult to support himself. If he is on the ground and his body is not affected, he can still cope with it with his martial arts skills. But now that his body is in the air, not only must he suppress the impact on his body, We have to continue to release our power to deal with those monsters. Being able to persist until now is considered the limit.
Fortunately, at this time, reinforcements from all forces arrived one after another. After a short hesitation, they also joined the battle. Li Xiuping fell directly back onto the spirit boat, using the power of the dragon soul to suppress the backlash in his body. .
After all, it is not on the ground and is isolated by the spirit boat. It will still have an impact on the body, but the impact is not as serious as directly volleying, and there is no need to release power to deal with monsters, so it is not a big problem.
After Li Xiuping returned to the spirit boat, he sat down cross-legged and suppressed the backlash in his body.
Chu Yan and Yang Erni could obviously find that their master's current situation was not very good, so although they ran to Li Xiuping, they did not dare to disturb them. Looking at the endless streams of monsters that were constantly coming out of the river, they only felt resentful. My strength is too low to help.
Master Huo Ling is also standing next to Li Xiuping at this moment to prevent monsters from attacking the spirit boat and threatening the safety of Li Xiuping's master and disciple.
As Li Xiuping withdrew from the battle, the situation on the left suddenly became a little difficult. First, the spirit boats were continuously destroyed by monsters, and then casualties appeared. If the strong men from the sect hadn't arrived, the situation would have been even worse. Oops.
Those monsters seemed to have discovered the weakness of the spirit boat, and they abandoned the Qingming layman and the blue water unicorn, and all rushed to the left.
In this way, although the situation on the left became difficult, the pressure on Qingming Jiaji and the clear water unicorn was reduced a lot, and Qingming Jianji, who was originally advancing slowly, also speeded up.
Qingming layman speeded up, and the spirit boats naturally also speeded up.
Now, we can only cross the river in one go. After all, we have gone more than half way, and less than half is left. Moreover, there are a large number of monsters attacking madly in any direction. It is obviously not a wise move to return.
Originally, with the addition of strong men from all sides, Qingming Jie could take advantage of the current situation to kill all the monster beasts in turn. However, he still had to guard against the strong men who secretly controlled these monster beasts, so he did not dare to go all out. After all, Li Xiuping's situation is not very good now. Once the strong man in the dark takes action, Li Xiuping alone will be difficult to resist.
However, until the spirit boat team arrived on the other side, the strong man hiding in the dark did not show up. Even the monsters seemed to lose control all of a sudden. They had launched an attack without fear of death before, but now they all returned to the river. Among them, even the head did not dare to be exposed.
As the spirit boat docked, Li Xiuping took the lead to get off the spirit boat and stood on the shore. The situation in his body was instantly relieved.
Li Xiuping smiled bitterly. Even if it was really a tree and couldn't leave the land for too long, it wouldn't be like him. He couldn't even support it for half a day. If it weren't for Yan Xin's attributes, it could be relieved to a great extent. His physical condition, and the fact that he could be suppressed with the help of Yan Xin's power, he could not even leave the ground for a while.
This current situation really made Li Xiuping extremely helpless.
In the past, he couldn't control the sky because he couldn't form a pill, which made him extremely depressed. But by chance, he formed a martial arts pill. Not long after he was able to control the air, he restored the prototype of the demon king, even more powerful than before. It would have been miserable before the martial arts pill formation.
Although he couldn't control the air at that time, he could control the sword at least, and he could even rise thousands of feet directly with the explosive power of his body. How could it be like now, although he could control the air, but he couldn't leave the earth for a moment.
As all the monsters retreated into the river, layman Qingming fell next to Li Xiuping and shook his head.
Li Xiuping thought thoughtfully and said: "It seems that it is not the demons, but the Kunlun Mountains. Otherwise, we wouldn't just use these monsters to block them and not dare to show up."
Master Qingming nodded and said, "This also shows that although Kunlun Mountain has decided to take action against you, it does not dare to act openly."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "This is the only thing that can comfort people's hearts."
The layman Qingming put the fairy sword into its sheath and asked, "Are you feeling well?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said: "It's nothing serious. Oddly enough, if you can't leave the ground for a moment, you can get immediate relief just by standing on the ground."
Master Qingming nodded and said: "This should be because of the Fuso Sacred Tree. Now that you have become one with the Fuso Sacred Tree, the influence it receives will naturally appear directly on you."
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "But if it weren't for this tree, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now. Every gain must come with a loss. I can only bear what I have to bear."
At this time, the monks from various factions had already withdrawn from the battlefield one after another. They all gathered together and walked towards Li Xiuping and others.
When they arrived earlier, they saw this group of people take action, and the strength they displayed was far beyond what they could achieve.
An old man with a white beard came forward first. After bowing to everyone, he asked, "But Mr. Li from the academy?"
Li Xiuping looked at the old man in front of him and nodded, "That's right."
The old man was just guessing before, but now that he has been confirmed, he is still shocked. He said with a smile: "I have heard about Mr. Li's various deeds, but I never thought that I would be able to see Mr. Li's true face in this life. Even if I die, I can rest in peace."
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "Senior is just joking. I have one nose and two holes. I'm no different from others."
The old man smiled and said: "If it hadn't been for Mr. Li and the layman here, I'm afraid the consequences would have been disastrous. I didn't expect that the monster in the river had reached this level. Previously, we only thought it was some monster that relied on the river water. They are just evil monsters, but I didn’t expect them to be so large in number.”
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "After this battle, naturally there will not be so many monsters in this river in the future. However, crossing the river will still be dangerous, so we have to find a way to eliminate all the monsters."
The old man said bitterly: "These beasts have the convenience of connecting to the river. They sneak into the river as soon as they can't be defeated. We and other forces do not have magic weapons that can avoid water, and most of them are at the Golden Core stage. In this river, there is no way. They are no match for these beasts. To be honest, we jointly prepared to eliminate these monsters in one fell swoop, but unfortunately we only sacrificed many monks in vain, but failed to severely damage these monsters."
He seemed to have caught something, looked at Li Xiuping and said, "I wonder if Mr. Li and the layman can deal with these monsters?"
Li Xiuping looked at layman Qingming, then nodded and said: "It is not difficult to deal with these monsters. Now that we have encountered them, I will naturally not delay them."
Hearing this, the old man was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you so much to Mr. Li and the layman. To be honest, if these monsters are not eliminated, I will not be able to live in peace for a day."
Li Xiuping asked: "How long have these monsters existed?"
The old man replied: "It has been almost twenty years, but at first we didn't care about it. We thought it was just a few monsters. Moreover, these monsters are really difficult to deal with in the water. Of course, we also thought it was troublesome, which is why This has led to the current situation. As for such a large-scale dispatch like today, it has never happened before. Otherwise, we would not have known that there were so many monsters hidden in the river."
Li Xiuping nodded, did not speak, but fell into thinking.
After a while, Li Xiuping said: "I have some physical inconveniences temporarily and need to find a place to rest for a while. During this time, the layman and the spiritual beast next to me will help you to eliminate all the monsters. It shouldn't take long. "
Everyone nodded and said, "That's great. I will arrange a place for Mr. Li right away. If Mr. Li needs anything during this period, just ask. As long as we can do it, we will never postpone it!"
Li Xiuping saluted, "Thank you all seniors over there."
Master Qingming suddenly frowned, and then said: "You guys talk first, I'll leave for a while."
Before I could finish speaking, my body had already disappeared...
