Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 135 Helping Hand
This hand is dry, with thick joints, and looks stable.
With a light pinch of his two fingers, he clamped the hand axe in mid-air, making it unable to move at all!
With a slight wave of the hand, the hand axe was thrown back. Blood immediately splashed out from the bushes more than ten feet away, and a painful howl was heard!

Then two burly warriors with tiger faces, fleshy wings on their backs and blood-colored patterns on their bodies suddenly jumped out from the bushes and rushed up with loud roars.

The average height of these two guys is over two meters, and they move with sturdy yet agile manner.

Especially the fleshy wings on the back, which can flap frequently when it jumps and runs, constantly gaining momentum in the air and giving it extra agility and speed.

They wore very primitive leather armor, used crude iron weapons, and had stone spears and wooden shields behind them.

One of the warriors had an axe hanging on his shoulder, and blood was still flowing down the axe blade, but it did not affect his speed at all.

Upon seeing this scene, the leopard demon immediately let out a shrill scream:

"It's Qiongqiman!!"

But at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew from the side, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, hitting him on the head.

Although these two Qiongqi barbarians were confident of their thick skin and great strength, they continued to rush forward without any concern.

As a result, there was a bit of icy dust mixed in the evil wind, which blew into my eyeballs, causing unbearable pain and tears streaming down my face.

Under the influence of the evil wind, the two demons were forced to slow down and cover their heads with their arms, cursing loudly, but no one present could understand what they were cursing.

The person who reached out and saved the leopard demon was none other than Gong Tianwu.

At this moment, he turned back in surprise and found that Song Jingyuan was slowly putting away a leather bag. This was his own magic weapon: Gangfeng Bag!
Then Song Jingyuan stretched out his finger and drew a symbol similar to the word "午" in the air.
Immediately afterwards, an ice arrow shot out and hit a Qiongqi barbarian in the chest.

Although this guy was big and strong, he was still shot back a few steps by the huge force of the ice arrow and fell to the ground. Then a thin layer of ice appeared on his body and he was frozen solid.

Witnessing this scene, Song Jingyuan curled his lips and revealed a scornful smile.

The contempt in this smile was not only directed at the Qiongqi barbarian in front of him, but also a little bit towards Gong Tianwu.

After all, before coming, Gong Tianwu described the monsters as extremely ferocious and dangerous.

But now it seems, haha, nothing special!
I don’t know whether it’s because Senior Brother Xu’s vision is too narrow or I’m too strong?

However, in the next second, the blood-colored texture on the body of the Qiongqi barbarian, which seemed to have been dealt with, suddenly flashed with a strange light, and then the ice suddenly exploded!

The wings on the back of the Qiongqi Barbarian flapped rapidly, and then its eyes turned blood red, and it immediately pounced on Song Jingyuan.
And when it got within ten meters of him, it let out a crazy roar!

The roar immediately caused Song Jingyuan's ears to hurt severely, and he even felt as if the world was spinning around him.

When his vision began to become clear, Song Jingyuan even realized that the monster was very close to him, and he could even smell the pungent stench emanating from its open bloody mouth.

"How to do how to do?"

At this moment, Song Jingyuan's mind was blank, and he felt a strong urge to vomit in his chest.

Under such circumstances, a strong wind suddenly blew around him, and then he saw an illusion of a giant hand pressing forward, slapping the Qiongqi barbarian away in the air.

However, this giant palm quickly disappeared, and a muffled groan was heard from behind. It was He Shu who took action.

But after his Tianyi Gangqi was broken, he was obviously seriously injured.

It is worth mentioning that he is also an individual cultivator.

After escaping death, Song Jingyuan's back was covered with cold sweat, and his pride as a prince was gone.

So Song Jingyuan immediately took out a talisman from his arms and stuck it on his chest. The talisman quickly merged into his body, and a faint, translucent image of an ancient bell quickly emerged around his body.

This is a temporary golden bell talisman that can greatly increase defense.

When he finished doing all this, he found that the Qiongqi barbarian was not dead yet. He shook his head and got up again.

He pulled out a javelin from his back and threw it towards this side.

The javelin was crudely made, but even though Song Jingyuan tried his best, he still managed to dodge it narrowly. The javelin smashed into pieces on the rock behind him, and the debris flew everywhere, even knocking down a large area of ​​nearby grass and trees.

Song Jingyuan was gasping for breath because of nervousness, and for a moment he even felt panic in his heart, not knowing how to deal with this ferocious and crazy monster in front of him.

But at this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the side. The Qiongqi barbarian immediately turned his head nervously to look over there, and then his eyes suddenly widened with anger!

It turned out that the other Qiongqi had suffered a devastating blow, and the flesh wings on its back were cut off by a sword.

This seemingly flesh wound made it look very weak and extremely painful.

At this time, Gong Tianwu had already approached it and kicked its left leg into a recurved position, with its knee bent in a strange way. No wonder it screamed so miserably.

Seeing their companion seriously injured, the Qiongqi barbarian that Song Jingyuan was facing immediately became furious and rushed to rescue him. The two of them also breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, their eyes were truly full of awe when they looked at Gong Tianwu.

This is also human nature. Only by facing and experiencing the other party's strength in person can you know the gap between yourself and the other party.

The two Qiongqi barbarians eventually died under the siege of both sides. Even in such a situation, the patrol team of the demon clan still suffered one death and one serious injury, which shows how powerful the Qiongqi barbarians are.

And these are just ordinary barbarians of the Qiongqi barbarians!

At this time, Gong Tianwu came over and took the initiative to bandage the wound of an injured wolf-headed monster. Then he looked at the leopard monster next to him and said:
"Now you don't suspect that I'm the culprit, right?"

On the way here, the leopard demon deliberately let the patrol members keep a distance from the four people. Apparently he felt it was a coincidence and was afraid that they were also attacking enemies, so he wanted to cooperate with them from inside and outside.

After hearing what Gong Tianwu said, the leopard demon blushed immediately, and then stammered:
"How can I?"

Gong Tian stopped at five o'clock, smiled slightly, and said nothing more on this topic.

Then he walked over here and joined his three fellow apprentices and said:

"How is it? This should be your first time dealing with monsters. Tell us what you think."

Lin Wenguan laughed and said:

"Brother Xu, you said before that if you feel something is wrong, you should run away and wait and see. You can't fight fiercely when you are in the martial arts world. Saving your life is the first priority."

"So that's what I did, and then I waited for a while before joining the battle, and cast a few Jade Dragon and Ice Purification spells on the patrolling demon army on our side."

"We know we are not strong enough, so we won't join the battle directly."

The secret Jade Dragon Technique in the Great Snow Mountain is an auxiliary illusion that can summon an illusory and real ice snake to bless the target, which can be used for both attack and defense.

This move looks very powerful, but it is actually useless, especially when performed by a Qi Refining disciple. The blessed ice snake can only be described in six words:

The defense is too fragile and the attack speed is slow.

The Ice Cleansing Technique is somewhat useful, as it can clean wounds instantly and stop bleeding quickly with the help of low temperatures, and it is also not slow to practice.

Hearing Lin Wenguan say this, Song Jingyuan became even more annoyed. He didn't gain anything from this battle. Instead, he was too nervous and used a golden bell talisman in vain. He could only say in annoyance:
"Oh, I underestimated the enemy! From now on, I will follow Brother Xu's instructions."

He Shu rubbed his shoulders and said with a grin:
"This must be a general among the monsters. He has great strength!"

At this time, the patrolling demon army around them also became closer to the four people, because they knew very well that if it weren't for the help of the human monks around them, they would most likely be wiped out. Then a toad demon said boldly:
"The wings of these two Qiongqi barbarians are only light red. They are just ordinary barbarians, and they should be novices."

"When the wings turn black, the Qiongqi barbarian will be considered an adult."

Upon hearing the news, He Shu took a deep breath.

After continuing to move forward, they heard shouts and screams from afar. Gong Tianwu's face became solemn and he told his fellow disciples to slow down and run away immediately if anything went wrong.

If you have any life-saving magic weapon, talisman or the like at this moment, take them out and prepare them first, and don't wait until you need them to be in a hurry.

Then they walked a dozen meters more and saw the main battlefield, which was right in the valley ahead. Hua Manlou had transformed into a demon and was fighting a bloody battle.

Needless to say, their enemies were a group of Qiongqi barbarians.

Hua Manlou was not fighting alone, he was accompanied by more than two hundred trusted tribesmen.

Most of these guys are elite dog demons, and they are from the Dongya District. It is equivalent to that everyone is not only relatives, but also neighbors who live together. They are real soldiers.

Even though they were facing powerful monsters and were in an unfavorable situation of being ambushed, their morale was still very high. It could be said that they were truly fearless of death.

Gong Tianwu saw with his own eyes that several dog demons did not dodge or evade the enemy's attacks, but instead stretched their heads out to bite the enemy tightly, and would never let go even if their heads were twisted off.

To be honest, although the Qiongqi barbarians are powerful, Gong Tianwu feels that the elite dog-demons around Hua Manlou are more difficult to deal with. If he were asked to choose his opponents, he would probably prefer these Qiongqi barbarians.

While Gong Tianwu was observing the battlefield, at least a dozen elite dog demons were killed in battle.

Because these Qiongqi barbarians also want to win the battle quickly, and this place is too close to Mujiang City, reinforcements may arrive at any time.

The demon patrol team that came to support at this time rushed into the battlefield without hesitation. The leopard demon in the lead already had experience fighting against the Qiongqi barbarians, so after entering the battlefield, he began to concentrate on besieging a Qiongqi barbarian.

Gong Tianwu signaled to several fellow disciples to stand far away and do some auxiliary work, while he himself began to quietly wander around the periphery. For him, it was time for the newly refined invisible sword to show its power.

At this time, the battlefield was in chaos. Gong Tianwu walked quietly through the bushes next to him. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he saw a familiar face, it was Hua Shilang.

This guy was already exhausted and out of breath. A large piece of flesh was torn off his chest, and the wound was bloody, but there was no time to bandage it.

Because the enemy in front of it was an extremely ferocious Qiongqi barbarian, with a pair of purple-black wings behind it, standing upright on its back like a cloak.

Not only that, when it is fanned, it can even sweep out hurricane-like strong winds, causing great trouble to the enemy.

This is the elite among the Qiongqi barbarians, and this guy is holding a huge white sword, which seems to be made of bone. It is extremely sharp when swinging and slashing. Every time he slashes with the sword, a gorgeous arc-shaped sword light is created.

Once the person who was stabbed sees blood, the wound will turn purple and quickly rot. The person will tremble all over as if he has blood poisoning and quickly lose his fighting ability.

Fortunately, although this sword is terribly powerful, it seems to have the negative effect of devouring its master. After using it once, this guy will immediately put it on his back again and need to rest for a while before he can use it again.

Otherwise, at least half of the elite dog demons present would be killed by it.

Fortunately, a large group of people gathered around Hua Silang at this time. The guards turned into mad dogs and attacked the elite Qiongqi barbarian with all their strength, which finally gave Hua Silang a chance to catch his breath.

This Qiongqi barbarian probably also saw it and knew that Hua Silang was an important person. He suddenly drew his sword and slashed it horizontally, chopping the dog demons in front of him and making them fly out with blood. Then he crawled on all fours and rushed towards Hua Silang with all his strength.

Of course, Hua Shilang also saw through the other party's intention. He immediately slapped his waist and saw black gas surging behind him. Suddenly, an illusion of a sinister giant eye appeared, staring at the Qiongqi barbarian.

After being stared at by this giant eye illusion, not to mention Qiongqi Man who was the first to be hit, even Gong Tianwu who was lurking nearby felt an indescribable fear and palpitations.

Gong Tianwu also instantly realized that this was a great opportunity, and immediately formed a sword gesture with his right hand, whispering:

"go with!"

In an instant, a cold light shot out from Gong Tianwu's waist.

Then the cold light lasted for less than half a second and disappeared in the air.

This is the invisible sword that is famous throughout the world.

Although its surprise attack power would be weakened by the protective magic weapons that almost everyone possesses in the fight between high-level cultivators, it can be regarded as a powerful weapon in the battles below the Jindan level.

At the same time, Gong Tianwu also has a talent for swordsmanship, which makes the invisible sword even more powerful.

The Qiongqi barbarian in front was trying his best to fight against the magic weapon that Hua Shilang took out, and the invisible sword suddenly swept past him from behind!

Moreover, the angle of entry was extremely tricky, and the chosen location was the junction of the wings and the torso!
When the chef was butchering an ox, the places where the knife blade passed were the connecting points on the trunk.

What's even more terrible is that this invisible sword consumed a huge amount of resources, and its rank had now been upgraded to the lower level of the Xuan rank by Gong Tianwu, and it was only half a step away from the middle level of the Xuan weapon.

Blood spurted out violently in an instant, and one of the flesh wings of the Qiongqi barbarian had been chopped off alive. It immediately howled miserably in pain.

It can be seen that the severe pain even broke its will. This guy even gave up fighting and rolled on the ground desperately.

Under such circumstances, how could the dozen or so elite dog demons nearby miss such a good opportunity? They immediately pounced on it and attacked it frantically, and quickly defeated it.

At this time, Gong Tianwu would certainly not do good deeds in secret, but would directly reveal the invisible sword to let Hua Shilang notice who was helping.

Then he winked at Hanashiro from a distance, and pointed at another elite enemy who was killing people nearby.

Hua Shilang immediately understood what he meant and began to lead his men to attract the opponent's attention. Gong Tianwu continued to launch sneak attacks from a distance, and the cooperation between the two sides soon became better.

Gong Tianwu seized the opportunity and blinded one of the opponent's eyes. Then this time, Hua Shilang knew that reinforcements had arrived, so he behaved exceptionally bravely and rushed to the front, taking the opportunity to kill him again.

Soon, this group of Qiongqi barbarians realized that their reinforcements were increasing in number and their own losses were alarmingly large, so they retreated quickly.

Their running speed was also surprisingly fast, after all, they had the help of wings. The dog demons, as the party being ambushed, also suffered heavy casualties and could only give a symbolic pursuit.

However, this time the small city lord was also furious when he heard the news, and sent his own personal guards and demon army to take action.

As peacock monsters, they can also fly, and should be able to cause considerable damage to this group of Qiongqi barbarians during the pursuit.

As more and more reinforcements arrived, Gong Tianwu and his group of four were still quite conspicuous. Fortunately, Hua Manlou came over quickly to express his gratitude and arranged for them to enter the city first.

***
After this battle, Gong Tianwu's three fellow apprentices all seemed very excited.
After all, for them, this was the first time they participated in a real battle, and the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death certainly made them feel a lot of insights.

So they started chatting non-stop as soon as they entered and settled down. Gong Tianwu was thinking about another thing, which was that the sudden attack by this group of Qiongqi barbarians was a bit strange.

For most monsters, the purpose of attack is hunting. In their eyes, both monsters and humans are edible prey.

However, the purpose of this group of Qiongqi barbarians was to directly attack the patrolling demon general Hua Manlou.

Such a motive is completely beyond the scope of hunting, which shows that there are undercurrents in Mujiang City.

About two hours later, Hua Manlou came with Hua Silang to visit. After Gong Tianwu and his fellow apprentices bowed, they introduced their identities one by one.

Then Hanashiro couldn't wait to say:

"Fifth brother, this magic weapon of yours is so powerful, can you let me see it?"
