Suddenly, a shocking beast roar sounded, and as the ground trembled slightly, a two-meter-tall black tiger appeared at the crossing of the plain. The leading burly man and the six accompanying warriors were all frightened, and they all drew out their weapons. weapons, and faced off against the big black tiger across the crossing.
The big black tiger at the crossing was not in a hurry to attack, as if it was waiting for something.
After a while, they heard a beast roar from the plain behind them. Everyone turned around in shock and saw another big black tiger jumping out of the bushes on the plain where they had been picking purple berries.
Liu Qingyi was greatly shocked and thought to herself: "Could this plain be actually a tiger's nest?!"
The big black tiger blocking the road entrance in front heard the roar of the tiger in the plain. The tiger's eyes were fierce. With a deep roar, the tiger's mouth opened to reveal a pair of ferocious fangs, and its tail was erect like a black iron rod. , and suddenly cut towards the leading warriors of the City Lord's Mansion. The big black tiger on the plain behind was naturally not idle either, and had already pounced on the closest collectors.
They were suddenly attacked one after another, and the scene immediately became chaotic. The warriors holding weapons could still keep up with the big black tiger in front, but the unarmed collectors from the villages carrying bags behind them suddenly screamed and screamed. Several people were killed and injured by the big black tiger from the plains.
The leading burly man, who was working with several warriors to fight against the big black tiger at the crossing, saw the situation of the villagers coming up from the plain, turned around and shouted: "You guys leave quickly, we will drag you first." As he said that, he and several warriors briefly forced the big tiger in front of him. When they reached the side of the road and made way for the way down the mountain, the dozen or so surviving collectors hurriedly passed behind the burly man and rushed down the mountain.
Liu Qingyi ran out after those people, but was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. He put the bag filled with purple jelly fruits in the grass beside the road and looked back calmly.
The burly man in the lead had already turned around and dismounted the wind-bone beast, and faced the big tiger chasing after him on the plains alone. The six warriors on the other side worked together to surround the big tiger at the crossing.
The two big black tigers were very ferocious, moving as fast as the wind, and the tiger claws and steel teeth glowed with cold light, making people afraid to touch them head-on.
Because the two tigers had rough skin and thick flesh, the swords of everyone only made a shallow mark on the tiger skin, and they had the upper hand for a while.
The burly man in black riding a wind-bone beast and fighting alone against the big tiger in the direction of the plain was okay, but the six warriors who surrounded the tiger at the crossing were in danger. After just a few breaths, several people were already injured, and one of the warriors had his left hand It was even torn off by its roots.
The warrior with the broken arm was actually very brave. He even raised his sword and stepped forward to fight. However, his hands and feet were getting slower and slower. Without paying attention, he was hit in the face by the tiger's claws, and his head exploded with a 'snap'. , the whole body looked up to the sky and fell, red and white flowing all over the ground.
The remaining five warriors were frightened when they saw this. They tried their best to resist the big tiger and retreated to the intersection down the mountain.
After being so fearful for a lifetime, the situation took a turn for the worse. The big black tiger pressed forward step by step, and not long after, it killed another person by biting it, and beating another person to death.
Liu Qingyi took out the sword pouch and held it in his hand. He was already eager to try it. Seeing that the people at the crossing were in danger, he no longer hesitated. He used his air control skills and jumped in front of the big tiger, holding in his hands The green long sword pointed directly at the tiger.
Two of the three warriors who were resisting the big tiger while retreating were already injured. It was extremely difficult to cope with the attack of the big black tiger. Now that Liu Qingyi, a new force, joined the army, they suddenly felt the pressure relieved, and gradually the main force position was replaced. Let Liu Qingyi come for help.
Strange to say, the big black tiger with rough skin and thick flesh was casually scratched by the long sword in Liu Qingyi's hand. The tiger's skin was penetrated like tissue paper. Most of the wounds were deep and bone could be seen, and the tiger's blood almost sprayed out. Shoot out.
For a moment, the scene suddenly turned upside down. The originally ferocious and powerful black tiger, like a mouse caught by a cat, was forced by Liu Qingyi's elusive movement and began to dodge continuously and howled from time to time. His body was bleeding profusely from being stabbed by a green sword.
Just as Liu Qingyi was getting ready to kill, he heard a tragic beast howl next to him. Several people turned around to look, and saw that the head of the wind-bone beast ridden by the burly black-clothed man was smashed by the tiger's claws, and its front legs gave way and fell to the ground. , it seems that he will not survive.
The burly man jumped down from the Wind Bone Beast using his body skills, and was still running around with the big black tiger over there. When the few warriors who were originally helping Liu Qingyi saw this, they each picked up their weapons and jumped to the plain at the crossing. Help the burly man in black.
As soon as the few people left, Liu Qingyi was determined to test the flying sword technique. He chanted the sword formula in his mouth, and the green sword in his hand suddenly flew out and shot towards the head of the big black tiger, which was already weak.
There was only a "scratching" sound, and the long sword was inserted into the tiger's head until it reached the hilt. The big black tiger howled miserably, fell to the ground, and stopped moving.
Liu Qingyi recalled the green sword and held it in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at the dead black tiger corpse. He felt a little strange in his heart. He felt that the small black flag on his waist trembled slightly and sent a wave towards the tiger corpse. There was a faint pulling force, and some couldn't believe it. He took out the small flag from his waist and looked at it carefully. He saw the black light flashing on the flag, which looked very different from ordinary.
He tried to inject the spiritual current in his body into the black flag, and saw a sudden black light on the flag, emitting a huge suction force like a magnet, pulling out several traces visible to the naked eye from the tiger corpse and the fallen warriors and villagers. The black energy was drawn into the small black flag like a dragon sucking water.
Liu Qingyi was confused: "Hey, could this be the so-called soul-sucking thing?"
After a while, all the black energy was sucked out, and the black light on the black flag was even brighter than before, as if it was of great help.
He kept thinking in his mind: "Master Hua Gu has been refining many souls of mortals along the way. I think what he used to collect souls was this little black flag to absorb the black energy from corpses. It's just that Master Hua Gu summoned The ghost shadow that came out was three feet high, but the ghost shadow summoned from the small flag in his hand was no more than ten feet high. Obviously, the small flag in his hand has not absorbed enough souls and can only be regarded as a semi-finished product." Thinking this way, Liu Qingyi is somewhat hopeful. , if the small banner in his hand can absorb enough black soul energy, he might be able to summon a three-foot-tall ghost like the Bone-Transforming Master.
Regarding absorbing souls, Liu Qingyi had no burden in her heart.
In his opinion, the souls of these dead humans and beasts are nothing if not sucked. They can be regarded as a kind of waste utilization. He also knew in his heart that it was best not to use such methods in front of others. After all, they were a bit shocking and might not be tolerated by human ethics. If he really attracted people from the immortal path to chase him like Master Hua Gu did, then it would be terrible. What an injustice.
Without thinking much, Liu Qingyi raised his hand and inserted the black flag back into his waist. He rushed to the plain from the crossing with his sword in hand, and saw several people fighting vigorously with the big black tiger. He took a few glances, but found that the scene did not seem optimistic. The burly man in black and the three warriors who came to support were fighting around the big tiger. The weapons in his hands were still unable to hurt the big tiger at all. Instead, they were hit by a pair of sharp weapons. Tiger Claw forced him to dodge in all directions.
Liu Qingyi came up with the idea of using the black flag again, so he raised the air control technique and leapt forward in a few steps, flying in front of everyone, and said loudly: "You go first, leave this place to me, and everyone escorting down the mountain will take Zi Yan It's important to bring him back to the city." After saying that, he pointed his sword at the black tiger and stabbed it quickly.
The burly man in black was startled and realized that the big tiger on the other side of the crossing had been killed. He turned his head and took a deep look at Liu Qingyi. He clasped his fists in the distance and said, "Thank you for taking care of me, brother. I'll go down first, brother." After you've taken care of this, come and join us." After saying that, he led the three warriors and hurried down the mountain.
Liu Qingyi nodded, fighting with the big black tiger without any pain. When the footsteps of everyone disappeared, his eyes flashed, his figure stepped back, he took a small black flag from his waist, and injected the spirit into his body. Liu moved forward and saw a ghost figure about ten feet tall emerging from the black flag.
With just a slight movement of thought, the black ghost figure rushed forward. The big black tiger seemed to be extremely frightened when it saw the ghost figure, and kept retreating back while whimpering in a low voice.
The next moment, the big black tiger was haunted by the ghost and began to roll on the ground.
Liu Qingyi stood idly by with his hands behind his back, while the big black tiger roared and rolled back and forth on the ground several times. Then the ghost figure wrapped around it climbed onto the tiger's shoulder, and a black claw inserted somewhere in the chest with a pop. He suddenly took out a hot and bloody heart.
A large blood-colored hole suddenly appeared in the black tiger's chest and abdomen, and the tiger's blood spattered all over the ground. His limbs twitched a few times and then died.
Liu Qingyi felt sick in her heart and complained: "I didn't expect this ghost to be so cruel. But the act of ripping out the heart at every turn is really disgusting."
He put away the green sword with the sword pouch, and then recalled the ghost figure into the black flag. He also mentioned that the small flag had absorbed the souls of the big tiger and the wind bone beast, and walked out of the plain.
Passing by the grass at the intersection, I saw the bag of purple fruits I had picked lying alive in the grass, so I picked it up and headed down the mountain.
