Guard Teng, who was bragging to a group of guards that he had witnessed the treasure taking in mountains of star refining ores, turned his head excitedly and saw Li Zhe, who had already opened his eyes. It was as if he was choking, and the words he was about to say were blocked in his throat.
He immediately gave a salute and said:
"Master Immortal, you don't want to practice anymore?"
In his eyes, Li Zhe, who has not eaten or drank for days, must be cultivating, and it is not necessarily true that he will ascend to immortality soon.
Li Zhe didn't answer and just asked:
"How many days are there until Hanhai City?"
Teng Huwei thought for a while, seeming to be calculating the distance. After a few breaths, he finally said with certainty:
"Reporting to the immortal master, according to our horse power, we will definitely be able to reach the Hanhai City in three days after passing the ridge in front!"
After Li Zhe got the accurate answer, he didn't say any more, and closed his eyes again and went into meditation. Originally, he had heard about the birth of the Immortal Palace. If he hadn't agreed to support this group of people all the way, Li Zhe would have been flying. Escape to the vast sea city and find out more about it.
There are only three days left, so Li Zhe can be considered a good start and finish well, so he can just protect this group of people to the Hanhai City.
When Guard Teng saw Li Zhe closing his eyes and meditating again, he didn't take it seriously, but he stopped talking and shouted to the guards:
"Brothers, cheer up. The mountain ridge in front of us is all official roads. There is no danger at all. We can also relax a little, but now we have to be careful, don't end up in trouble. Fall down."
Although the immortal master Li Zhe is now in the team, Guard Teng still asks the guards to cheer up. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone. This is the experience he has summed up after going through mountains of swords and seas of blood.
After hearing the leader's words, the guards all agreed and became on guard.
A group of forty or fifty horses, plus a carriage, also stirred up bursts of smoke and dust on this loess trail. In front of them was a ridge, with mountains on both sides. The loess trail was sandwiched in the middle and continued to wind up to a ridge in front. It's a dangerous place.
Based on Guard Teng's experience, if someone has evil intentions, this is the best place to ambush, so Guard Teng asked the guards to cheer up, but he was not that nervous. After all, it was just over the mountain ridge. It's official, so there shouldn't be any big problems.
After a group of people started going uphill and onto the ridge, the team's speed slowed down. After all, there was a carriage in the team when they were going uphill. They had to take care of the speed of the carriage, so the speed naturally slowed down.
However, Li Zhe was still as stable as a rock even if he tilted his body while sitting on the horseback, and there was no impact at all.
The team was already moving forward, and Guard Teng breathed a sigh of relief. It was already halfway through, so everything should be fine.
But at this moment, there was an unusual noise on the slopes on both sides. Before Guard Teng and the other guards could react, figures flashed and surrounded the people on the loess path. come over.
Guard Teng's expression suddenly became serious, and he couldn't help but secretly curse his crow mouth, saying whatever he said.
But at this time, he didn’t care so much. Guard Teng immediately shouted:
"The enemy is attacking, everyone dismounts to defend!"
It has to be said that this Teng guard is quite experienced. At this moment, everyone is going uphill. The speed of the horses cannot be used and it is inconvenient to move. Besides, it is unrealistic to escape with a carriage. Dismounting is the most correct way to defend. choose.
The guards who realized that something was wrong were a little nervous at first. After listening to the order of the leader, Guard Teng, they all calmed down. They turned over and dismounted and formed a circle. They held weapons in their hands and looked at the hillsides on both sides towards them with vigilance. A figure surrounded by others.
The young woman on the carriage in the middle of the procession felt that the procession had stopped, and heard Guard Teng's loud shout. How could she not know that something was wrong? Guard Teng in front asked:
"Guard Teng, what happened?"
"Madam, don't be alarmed, we are afraid of being attacked by bandits! But it's up to me, Teng Da, to make sure we don't let these bandits succeed!"
The figures who came from the hillsides on both sides also heard the woman's voice coming from the loess path. Those with sharp eyes saw the beautiful face of the woman sticking out from the carriage, and immediately felt strange. cried:
"Brothers, kill all these guards and snatch all the star refining stones for me so that I can explain to the Immortal. We won't be polite to the woman in the car!"
The arrogance of these people also made the guards headed by Teng Da excited, and they immediately shouted:
"Madam, please do not come out of the carriage. I will wait until I have taken care of these bandits before asking Madam to go on the road!"
The bandits who surrounded them from both sides were more numerous than the guards. Although Teng Da felt uncertain, he was not without any confidence, so he turned his gaze and looked to the side.
At this moment, there was only one person in the field who was still sitting on the horse without making any movement, and it was Li Zhe.
Li Zhe didn't know when he opened his eyes, and he met Teng Da's gaze. Naturally, he knew what he meant. Without saying anything, he just waved his sleeves, and forty or fifty flashes flew out. The spiritual talismans came with auras of light and landed in front of the guards.
"You will be able to defeat these thieves after taking this!"
When Teng Da saw this, he was overjoyed and said:
"Brothers, quickly take the talisman given by the immortal master."
Immediately he took the lead and grabbed the spiritual talisman that fell in front of him and put it into his mouth. As soon as the spiritual talisman entered his mouth, it turned into a clear spring and flowed from his throat into his Dantian. Teng Da immediately felt that his whole body had endless energy. It seems to be inexhaustible, and the eyesight and ears are much more sensitive than before, which is extremely magical.
The other guards had the same general feeling after taking the talisman given to them by Li Zhe. They all thought it was magical and marveled at Li Zhe's immortal skills.
In fact, this is just a small trick for Li Zhe. He can use some spiritual water to turn into spiritual talismans and let these guards take them. For these mortals, it can naturally greatly increase their combat power in a short period of time.
Teng Da was also very excited. With the magic talisman given by the immortal master, he was confident to kill the bandits who came around. As for Li Zhe not taking action personally but only giving the magic talisman, he understood. After all, the immortal How could a high-ranking teacher condescend to personally deal with such little thieves? He could just let others deal with him.
Just when Teng Da was thinking, the bandits who surrounded him were already approaching. However, the crazy look on the faces of these bandits did not diminish at all after witnessing the scene where Li Zhe gave the talisman to the guards. They were still crazy. They rushed toward the protective circle formed by the guards.
In an instant, gold and iron clashed, and the sound of swords clashing could be heard endlessly. The two parties were fighting together. However, although there were many bandits, the guards had the advantage in the scene. After all, they had taken the medicine given by Li Zhe. of talisman water.
Although they had the advantage on the scene, Teng Da and a group of guards were secretly surprised. The combat effectiveness of this group of thieves was much higher than they thought. If it weren't for the talisman water given by the immortal master today, I'm afraid I really can't defeat these bandits.
As time went by, screams gradually came from the fighting people. They were all caused by the bandits being killed by the guards. The number of bandits was gradually decreasing, and the guards' advantage was getting bigger and bigger.
In the carriage, the young woman and the two maids, who were watching the battle nervously through the gap in the door curtain, gradually felt relieved when they saw this.
"This Taoist priest is indeed a member of the Immortal Family. He gave us a few talismans casually, and our guards became more powerful one by one. That guy Wen Er is not usually so brave!"
"Xiao Nizi has been exposed. How did you know that Wen Er is not so brave at ordinary times? He must be secretly paying attention to me!"
"No, don't talk nonsense!"
The teasing on the carriage did not affect the battle situation outside. The guards' advantage was still expanding. There were no casualties on the guards' side, but dozens of people on the bandits' side had been killed. Many guards had wounds on their swords. It was shining with blood.
What's strange is that after killing so many people, these bandits still have a look of madness on their faces. They don't even have the slightest thought of retreating. They are still fighting against the guards desperately. Everything in Teng Da's eyes had a strange aura, which was completely unreasonable.
Not to mention that the average bandit's combat power is not that high. They usually lose all their energy after killing some people and become like birds and beasts. Today, they are really evil.
Li Zhe, who was sitting cross-legged on horseback, did not pay attention to the battle. Instead, he focused his attention on the ridge ahead.
Standing on the mountain ridge was a rat-bearded Taoist dressed in Taoist robes. Looking at the battle below, he naturally noticed Li Zhe sitting on the horse.
"I never thought that I would encounter a tough opponent today, but you think I have no other means. You forced me to do this!"
After saying this, the rat-bearded Taoist stirred up all his spiritual energy and held out a flag that was full of black energy and extremely evil. The flag was covered with ferocious human faces, as if it was about to come out of the flag. I don’t know if it’s a serious magic weapon.
Li Zhe also snorted slightly when he saw it, but made no move and thought to himself:
"You are a heretic, I want to see what you are capable of!"
The Taoist on the mountain ridge saw that Li Zhe had no reaction. He just thought that Li Zhe had no way to deal with it. He waved the flag in his hand and a huge skull phantom composed of a ferocious human face emerged from the flag and headed towards The people fighting together at the foot of the mountain ridge were attacking.
