Bai Yuxian and Li Bai followed the sound into the woods with a lunge and swords in hand.
The rest of the team at the rear were also alerted. Captain Li You led the guardsmen to surround and protect Princess Yuzhen's carriage.
Bai Yuxian and Li Bai were extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, their figures had already rushed into the darkness of the woods.
The moment the figure rushed into the woods, it was in the darkness of the woods ahead.
Swish-!
A figure that looked like a woman in yellow disappeared behind a big tree in front of her, like a ghost.
"Pretend to be a ghost."
Seeing this, Li Bai raised his hand and slashed out with a sharp sword energy.
There was a scoff, followed by the violent sound of the sword tearing through the air, and then there was a bang, and the trunk of the big tree broke in response, directly cut off by Li Bai's sword.
However, the ghostly figure of the woman in yellow was not hit, but appeared directly under another big tree more than ten feet away.
"Come on, it's over here."
The girl's laughter like silver bells continued to sound, and as if teasingly, the ghostly figure of the woman in yellow also raised her right hand and hooked her fingers at Bai Yuxian and Li Bai.
puff! puff!
There were two more consecutive sounds of breaking through the air.
This time Bai Yuxian and Li Bai directly joined forces to take action without any unnecessary words.
Two bright sword auras, one white and one red, were like streams of light tearing through the air, chilling people's hearts in the night.
However, the moment Bai Yuxian and Li Bai joined forces to attack, the figure of the woman in yellow disappeared like a ghost again, causing Bai Yuxian and Li Bai's attacks to fail again.
Then the figure of the woman in yellow appeared further away, always keeping a certain distance from Bai Yuxian and Li Bai.
"Come and catch me, hee hee."
"Magic."
Li Bai's eyes narrowed.
At this time, it was also completely judged that the other party was definitely using magic, but it was unclear whether it was a human or a ghost.
Bai Yuxian and Li Bai chased for another half moment.
"Brother Bai, be careful to lure the tiger away from the mountain. I will continue to chase you. You go back to protect Princess Yuzhen." At this time, Li Bai said.
Bai Yuxian nodded, he also had this idea, because after chasing Li Bai all the way, he had a clear feeling that the other party seemed to be deliberately seducing him and Li Bai deeper into the woods, keeping them away from Princess Yuzhen.
This is somewhat unusual.
And with their team configuration, it is not normal to encounter such a thing, even if it is evil spirits.
Because under normal circumstances, now that the world is peaceful and the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, they should not dare to provoke a group of people like them.
But tonight, they met.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Bai Yuxian and Li Bai immediately split into two groups to continue chasing Li Bai, while he immediately returned the same way.
However, I just separated from Li Bai and walked back less than half a mile.
"wrong!"
Bai Yuxian suddenly stopped.
Because at this moment, he suddenly realized that he had obviously turned back the same way, and now he was back to the place where he had just separated from Li Bai.
He spared himself again.
Ghost hits the wall!
Bai Yuxian knew that he had encountered a ghost and hit a wall.
However, this kind of ghost wall-breaking method is mostly a deception method. It uses magic to confuse people's eyes and other senses, so that people lose their judgment of direction and keep spinning in circles.
It is very easy to break this simple deception.
Bai Yuxian closed his eyes and rushed in the direction of the inn. He walked intuitively with his full-screen senses, and the Gentleman's Sword in his hand acted as a pathfinder.
And the moment Bai Yuxian closed her eyes and started walking.
In the darkness of the woods, a pair of green eyes also appeared. They looked at Bai Yuxian with a cold and bloodthirsty look like a wild beast that wanted to devour people, and then slowly and step by step, they quickly approached Bai Yuxian from behind.
Soon the green eyes approached from behind Bai Yuxian and came within ten feet of Bai Yuxian. At this time, it suddenly attacked Bai Yuxian from Bai Yuxian's back.
Swish.
The moment it launched its attack, its figure suddenly sprang out and flew towards Bai Yuxian like a swift cheetah. It was so fast that only a black shadow could be seen flashing past in the night.
But at this moment, Bai Yuxian seemed to have eyes on his back. He suddenly opened his eyes and turned around and swung his sword.
"Pfft--"
The bright sword light cut through the night sky, and large amounts of blood instantly splashed out from the air. The body of a beast as big as a cheetah was split in two by the sword energy and died on the spot. It was cut open before it could even scream.
Only when the body split into two fell to the ground did Bai Yuxian see what it was.
This is a huge yellow-skinned creature, but its size is surprisingly large, almost the same size as an ordinary cheetah.
"Demon."
Bai Yuxian's eyes narrowed.
There is no doubt that such a huge and unusual yellow-skinned child has definitely become a spirit and is a monster.
"careful!"
"Protect the princess-!"
"."
At this time, from the direction of the inn, Captain Li You's voice sounded nervous and even a little uneasy.
Princess Yuzhen was also attacked.
Bai Yuxian's heart tightened, and she hurried to the inn outside the woods without any further delay. At the same time, the original ghost hitting the wall disappeared instantly.
At this time, the front of the inn was also in chaos.
More than a dozen yellow-skinned men as big as foxes were constantly surrounding the convoy and attacking from all directions.
Not only are these yellow-skinned creatures much larger than ordinary yellow-skinned creatures, but they are also extremely fast, as fast as a cheetah, making it difficult for ordinary people to deal with them. Their claws are so sharp that they can break through armor.
If it weren't for the fact that the valet soldiers led by Li You were all the elites in the army and were armed with weapons, ordinary people, even those with strong martial arts skills, would probably only end up being massacred and hated.
Even so, Li You and others were in danger at this time. They had to shrink the defense line and could only use the iron barrel formation to firmly protect the frame of Princess Yuzhen in the middle for passive defense.
Li You's forehead was even covered with sweat.
Because he noticed that behind the yellow-skinned men who attacked them, there was a human-like figure shrouded in black robes but with a pair of green eyes and a yellow-skinned tail, standing unblinking in the distance. Stare at them.
This is definitely not a human being!
Li You knew very well in his heart that the figure was definitely not a human being, and was probably a yellow-skinned man, but it was absolutely terrifying. It was probably the yellow-skinned leader who was attacking them now.
Even with his cultivation at the peak of martial arts, one look at the green eyes under the black robe would make his whole body feel cold from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and even his soul would tremble.
It felt like being stared at by some extremely terrifying beast.
How could such a terrifying monster appear in this place and dare to attack them?
The situation is becoming more and more critical.
"Wha-!"
At this time, under the moonlight, a bright and sharp bloody sword energy suddenly broke through the air from the woods.
There was a pop.
A yellow-skinned creature that was attacking the team was unprepared and was instantly cut into pieces with a sword.
Bai Yuxian's figure then came from the woods.
"Mr. Bai."
It was clear that Bai Yuxian had rushed back.
Li You and others were immediately shocked.
Bai Yuxian didn't say much, but took advantage of the time when those yellow men hadn't reacted and swung out the sword energy in succession with the Junzi Sword in his hand.
These yellow-skinned creatures were unable to dodge in time, and several more were directly beheaded by Bai Yuxian on the spot.
"Zhizhi-!"
At this time, the other Huangpizi finally reacted, looking at Bai Yuxian with frightened eyes and retreating towards the black-robed figure.
