Lu Yuan was looking around carefully when he suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the distance.
After completing the practice of the "Zhengqing Heart Sutra", he had already become clear-sighted.
Following the call, I saw two middle-aged men chasing an old man in the shadows of the jungle, rushing towards this side.
In the world of spiritual cultivation, killing and being killed are normal phenomena.
Lu Yuan restrained his breath and lay on the ground looking at them.
The three of them were getting closer and closer, and his sensitive nose smelled a faint evil spirit.
That demonic energy actually came from the old man.
"Help!" The old man's shrill cry came from time to time.
"Old fox, no one will come to save you even if you scream to death. Hahaha!" A tall middle-aged man laughed.
Lu Yuan took a closer look and saw that the man was actually a second-level Xuanshi.
The Xuanshi wore a navy blue cloth coat with thin silver ornaments on the collar, which seemed different from the clothes in the Central Plains.
He hung a long cloth bag slightly smaller than the Qiankun Bag on his waist, and while chasing him, he shot purple-green little snakes from his cuffs towards the old man.
Those snakes exuded a rich purple aura and were extremely fast, chasing their prey.
Another shorter Xuanshi dressed the same as the tall man and had a late first-level cultivation. He held a hand crossbow and kept shooting at the old man.
The old man ran away very quickly, occasionally running on the ground with all four limbs together.
Although small snakes and arrows kept coming from behind, he seemed to have eyes on the back of his head and could dodge the attacks without looking back.
But there were still sporadic arrow scratches on arms and shoulders. The old man's body was also surrounded by purple energy, and he seemed to be poisoned.
Lu Yuan suddenly understood: this old man is a fox demon, and those two black men are likely to capture him alive to trigger the demon-sacrifice Yin Thunder!
I can't let them catch this fox demon and cut off my clues!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan jumped up and jumped to the old man's side. At the same time, he unsheathed his sword and shouted sharply:
"Two big men bullying an old man, what kind of heroes are they?"
When the old man saw that the savior had arrived, he immediately hid behind Lu Yuan, breathing heavily and trembling.
The two monks were destined to win, but now a troublemaker came out halfway, and they suddenly became angry.
The short Xuanshi said: "Who are you? How dare you stand in the way of our Nether Gu Sect's work for heaven!"
Through the name of the sect, Lu Yuan knew that it was a sect that practiced Gu, and the practitioners were called "Gu masters".
Gu masters are best at using poisonous insects to kill people, and their level of poison use is the highest among all professions.
In order to cooperate with the use of poison, they also specialize in the art of breath concentration and stealth and strange body skills, and are experts in assassination.
Generally, when sects encounter some personnel matters that are difficult to deal with face to face or directly, they often hire Gu Masters to deal with them secretly.
Lu Yuan said calmly: "I'm the demon master Lu Yuan. When he saw two people chasing an old man, he felt sympathy and wanted to come and ask about the situation."
"Ask about the situation?" the tall Gu Master said, "You are a Demon Master, how come you can't see that he is an old vixen?"
The old man poked his head out from behind in fear and said, "I...I am a vixen, but I have never eaten anyone."
The short Gu Master said: "Monsters will harm people. This is an iron law. Why are you making excuses?"
Lu Yuan smiled and said: "Catch monsters in the Fenglin Cave area, haha! I think the two of you are not trying to do justice for heaven, but you are attracted to the yin-stagnation demon body of this fox demon."
"you……"
The short Gu Master was about to ask, but was stopped by the tall Gu Master.
Gao Gu Master said: "It seems that my little friend is also here to catch monsters and trigger monster thunder. But in the world of Xuanxuan, it is first come, first served. We discovered this monster first, so we have the right to take it away. Please don't ask for trouble, little demon master." .”
Lu Yuan sneered secretly in his heart: Want to threaten the young master?
He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is a second-level Great Gu Master, so you are naturally my senior. But please don't forget, senior, that in our world of cultivation, there is survival of the fittest. If you can defeat me, this fox demon will naturally be you. If you lose, then I will be disrespectful."
The dwarf Gu Master said angrily: "What qualifications do you have to ask for a competition? Today we have to decide on this fox demon!"
"I'm talking to senior, and I don't allow you to talk too much!" Lu Yuan gave him a sharp look.
The short Gu Master was suppressed by his aura, and beads of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lu Yuan continued: "I just have something to ask this fox demon. I don't want to compete with you for his demon body."
"Hahahahaha!" The two Gu masters looked up to the sky and laughed.
The great Gu Master said: "Your excuse is too lame. It is simply an insult to our intelligence."
Lu Yuan said coldly: "It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
The short Gu Master on the side raised his right hand to wipe his sweat.
Taking the opportunity, he flicked his wrist and pulled the trigger of the crossbow.
The arrow hit Lu Yuan's head at a very close distance!
At the same time, he patted the small cloth bag hanging on his waist with his left hand.
A large yellow cloud suddenly flew out of the bag and rushed directly towards Lu Yuan.
There was a loud buzzing sound inside the yellow cloud, which turned out to be hundreds of tiny locusts.
The locusts seemed to have been trained in some secret method. They were all yellow and black, with fangs and belly full of poisonous gas.
The movement of raising his hand to wipe the sweat was very deceptive, and the two of them were less than two feet apart. Caught off guard, Lu Yuan instinctively dodged to the side.
At such a close range, it would be difficult for ordinary people to dodge. Even if you dodge, you will be scratched and poisoned by the arrow.
But Lu Yuan felt that there was almost no gap between when his mind thought about dodging and when his body made dodging movements.
Moreover, he felt that his body seemed to be pulled by an external force, and with a slight movement, he had already opened up a lot of distance.
The arrow was filled with purple energy, and it passed by his ear with a "swish" sound, and the strong wind stirred up made his hair stand on end.
Huang Yun behind him also immediately jumped into the air.
Two fatal attacks so close were actually dodged!
Both Gu Masters were surprised.
Lu Yuan himself couldn't even imagine that he could completely dodge this attack.
When he saw the other person actually disagreeing with him and killed him, he suddenly felt angry and evil in his heart!
Lu Yuan immediately opened his five fingers, and a blazing flame burst out from the palms of his fingers, rapidly colliding with Huang Yun and engulfing him in an instant.
The pungent smell of burnt meat suddenly filled the air. Almost all the locusts were burned to death, and pieces of charred insect residue fell from the air.
The short Gu Master was stunned for a moment, only to feel a blur in front of his eyes and a chill on his neck.
It turned out that Lu Yuan rushed forward quickly, and the "Star Cut" cut directly through his neck.
Within two breaths, the head fell to the ground.
The Autumn Cicada Sword given by Miss Liu really blessed my body skills. If it hadn't been for this sword, I would probably be the one lying on the ground right now. Lu Yuan touched the dagger at his waist, glanced at the Gu Master's body, and sighed inwardly.
When the old fox demon saw the corpse, he immediately ran away without a trace.
The great Gu Master was furious: "You little boy, kill my disciples. I will make your heart pierce with thousands of Gu!"
He patted his waist bag, and thousands of red and yellow poisonous bees burst out, whipping up a smelly hurricane and blowing towards Lu Yuan.
The long stings on the tails of these Gu wasps are red, like dripping blood, and are extremely poisonous at first glance. Their mysterious power is much higher than the previous locust Gu. Lu Yuan sensed the power of Lihuo and released the mysterious fire technique, which could only burn the outer layer.
He quickly dodged and swung his sword until it was watertight. I only heard a mess of "Ding Ding Dang".
Guo Pu also flew out of the demon-collecting gourd to help Lu Yuan block the onslaught of bees.
It seems that these bees are tempered with a special Gu method and can resist damage from swords and guns! Lu Yuan thought.
This move just now was just a containment.
The big Gu Master took advantage of the chaos and released several small dark gray spiders.
As soon as these little bugs landed on the ground, they ran towards Lu Yuan like crazy.
He was fending off the swarm with fire and sword, not noticing the spiders crawling from the ground.
By the time Lu Yuan noticed it and burned it with flames, one of the spiders had successfully climbed onto his right shoulder and bit it hard.
"Bang", a muffled sound.
The "Stone Skin Technique" in the Five Elements Mystery Technique was released at the moment when the spider's teeth bit, blocking part of the attack.
But this was after all a Gu worm cultivated by the Great Gu Master, and part of the venom penetrated into Lu Yuan's body and spread rapidly in his blood.
Lu Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and then the right half of his body became paralyzed, unable to move.
The sword was almost impossible to hold.
"Hahahaha! You are one level behind me, what kind of trouble do you want to make?" The great Gu Master walked forward with a sinister smile.
The direct attack power of Gu Masters is very average. Their attacks usually restrict the enemy's movement first, and then slowly torture them to death with Gu poison.
