Chapter 169 Moon Fairy

"They are disciples of Hongzhao Palace, and a demon hunter!" Song Xier said in surprise after seeing who was coming.

There were five women and four men on the cavalry. Four of the women and three of the men were wearing red and black clothes, with a flickering candle symbol embroidered on their chests. They were the disciples of Hongzhao Palace.

The other two, a woman and a man, were dressed as ordinary warriors with different clothes, but they both had a red ribbon tied on their left arms. This was a typical mark used by demon hunters to identify themselves when they were on a mission.

Song Xier knew several of these people, especially the girl in the middle of the team who was beautiful, elegant, and bookish. She was none other than Liu Huan, the Moon Fairy, one of the four fairies in Xiazhou.

"Why is she here?" Song Xier murmured.

"Do you know him?" Su Daoshan asked.

Song Xier nodded and said, "Demon hunters rarely come into contact with each other, so they don't know each other. But the disciples of Hongzhao Palace are familiar with each other. The two sects often visit and exchange ideas, and they have also cooperated several times when traveling outside. The one in the middle riding a red horse with a white forehead is Liu Huan. You should have heard of her name."

"She is the Moon Fairy?" Su Daoshan's gaze fell on Liu Huan.

The Four Fairies of Xiazhou are nicknames given by gossipers to the four most outstanding female disciples of the Xiazhou sect based on their different temperaments and styles.

At first, this may have been just a joke or compliment, but in recent years, it has become more and more recognized among the younger generation and its popularity has exploded. Wherever it goes, the streets are empty.

Countless admirers would go to great lengths to catch a glimpse of her beauty, and it was not uncommon for people to draw swords against each other because of jealousy or different ideals.

Previously in Yishan City, Su Daoshan had witnessed the sensation caused by "Fan Caiyi". However, it was said that because of her cold temperament and difficulty in approaching her, Fan Caiyi was not the most popular one among the four fairies.

This made Su Daoshan sigh that there are always brainless fans and licking dogs in any world. In a sense, because the information in this world is more closed, the environment is more dangerous, and people are more fanatical. After all, there are not many things that can be used to express emotions.

And today, it was the first time that he met another one of the Four Fairies besides Song Xier.

Liu Huan has picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and skin like cream. Compared with the coldness of the "Snow Fairy", although her temperament is also indifferent, she gives people a much softer feeling. Her unique bookish air makes one feel elegant and calm, as if the breeze and the bright moon are not lingering in her mind.

Su Daoshan commented secretly. He didn't know anything else, but judging from her appearance and temperament alone, it was not in vain that Liu Huan became one of the four fairies.

While the two were talking, Liu Huan and the others had already arrived at the gate of the mansion. They jumped off their horses and drew their swords. For a moment, the only sound was the sound of clanging.

Two demon hunters, a man and a woman, walked in the front. The woman was petite and well-proportioned, but she was wearing a veil and holding a crescent-shaped short knife in each hand. The man was of medium height, slightly fat, with a round face and a beard, and holding a ring knife.

The male demon hunter took a few steps forward and shouted, "Hu Gao, the refugee camp at Laoya Mountain has collapsed and everyone has to find their own way to survive. You led your people to flee quickly, but you brazenly robbed the caravan when passing through Liuxianghe Town, killing people and taking hostages... Are you waiting for us to take action now instead of surrendering?"

Su Daoshan and Song Xier looked at each other and exchanged glances that showed it was just as expected.

Now, under the clearing order from the main camp, the refugee camps around Yishan City were almost wiped out. These refugee camps may not be good at other things, but they are definitely well-informed. Many camps dispersed long before the arrival of the army and sect warriors, and fled in a direction away from Yishan City.

The two of them had seen quite a few from afar along the way.

Generally speaking, apart from bandits and aliens, everyone turned a blind eye to ordinary refugees. As long as these people did not become accomplices of the evil and help the You Clan to cause destruction in the rear, no one was willing to commit more murders.

Unexpectedly, this refugee group actually committed a crime at this time. Looking at the well-dressed people among the sheep, they might be the hostages of this kidnapping. However, they were obviously unlucky and were discovered by Liu Huan and others, who chased them all the way here.

Su Daoshan subconsciously started reading and looked at everyone in the field, and then his pupils dilated slightly.

By observing the Qi, Su Daoshan was surprised to find that he could sense the presence of Dao seeds on the heads of four people. One of them was the leader of the refugees, one was Liu Huan, and the other two were the two demon hunters.

Demon Hunters are not weird.

Through Ao Jiu's explanation, Su Daoshan already knew that this organization jointly created by Taizu and the sect was essentially an organization that brought together extraordinary people. It was also an official organization recognized by all parties in reality.

However, thinking of Xie Xunbai, Meng Qiaofu, Song Xier and others who were also extraordinary warriors but did not join the Demon Hunters, Su Daoshan suddenly realized: "The original intention and responsibility of establishing the Demon Hunters was to fight against ghost demons. In order to prevent this organization from being used, the major sects should have kept some tricks up their sleeves. Not all extraordinary warriors will join the Demon Hunters."

What made Su Daoshan curious were Liu Huan and the leader of the refugees... But when he thought about it, he felt it made sense.

Liu Huan is a direct disciple of Hongzhao Palace and one of the four fairies who is as famous as Song Xier. It is not surprising that she has the trump card of a supernatural being. However, the leader of the refugees can survive in the wild where there are dangers everywhere and can control a refugee group. Obviously, it is unreasonable that he has no means.

"I didn't expect to encounter something like this. Judging from the situation, although the refugee group has a large number of people, they are basically ordinary warriors, and their strength should not be too high. Liu Huan has three extraordinary people on her side, so she should be sure to win."

While Su Daoshan was thinking, the male demon hunter had already taken action.

He just ran forward a few steps, kicked his legs, and pounced on the wall like a tiger. The knife in his hand drew a bright arc in the night and chopped down a bloody stick on the wall.

He was extremely fast, and with one kick, he flew 20 meters into the air. What was even more amazing was that before each of his movements, there was a sound of Qi bursting out from his body.

"The Qi comes first, and the sound comes before the fist! This is the sixth level of gathering strength in the body," Su Daoshan thought to himself, "and it should have reached the middle level of the sixth level."

Liu Song, the guard of Zhou Qinghe who was killed by Su Daoshan before, was a sixth-rank warrior.

However, in the realm of martial arts, there is a huge gap between the upper, middle and lower levels of each grade. Moreover, this male demon hunter is also an extraordinary warrior. Whether it is the physical strength of the Taoist spirit or the innate spiritual roots, it is far superior to ordinary warriors. At this moment, when he made a move, he gave people a feeling of thunder and lightning.

Su Daoshan believed that, as they were both of the sixth rank, Liu Song would probably not be able to handle him in one encounter.

"brush!"

A beam of blood shot up into the sky. The blood stick on the wall was only a seventh-level mid-level warrior. Facing the sudden attack from the male demon hunter, he had no power to parry at all. He didn't even have time to raise the knife in his hand before he was cut in half from head to tail. Everything happened too fast.

Looking from the side, it was just a flash of light, and a person was torn into two pieces like a folding fan.

Su Daoshan couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw this bloody scene. Although he had already adapted to the cruelty of this world, the impact of this pure violent scene was still too strong.

At the same time, the female demon hunter, Liu Hua and others also rushed onto the earth wall and fought with the defending blood sticks. For a while, all they could see were the flashes of swords and the sounds of angry shouts and screams.

The double-bladed female demon hunter was also of rank six strength, but she took a light and agile route. She jumped onto the earth wall and her figure disappeared, leaving only two bright blade lights, like a high-speed rotating crescent moon, constantly harvesting the crowd as her figure appeared and disappeared. After just one encounter, more than a dozen blood marks appeared on the bodies of the three bloody sticks on the wall at the same time.

A bloody man was stabbed in the arm, the leg, and then the abdomen. Before he could bend over in pain, his throat was cut. Blood gushed out. With his eyes wide open, he grabbed his neck and fell straight off the wall.

What’s terrifying is that two meters away, in two completely different directions on the left and right, the other two blood sticks were also covered in blood.

The speed of the female demon hunter's body and the speed of her sword were so fast that they couldn't even keep up with her. One of them just raised her hand and was stabbed in the leg. The other one just roared and rushed forward and was stabbed in the back.

Puff puff puff... In an instant, the two demon hunters joined forces to create a gap on the front wall!
The third one was Liu Huan. The girl's strength was obviously inferior to the two demon hunters. Judging from her actions, Su Daoshan estimated that she should be on par with Song Xier.

Just as Liu Huan jumped towards the top of the wall, two blood sticks came up to her almost at the same time. While she was in mid-air, two beams of sword light blocked all her routes.

The two blood sticks were also seventh-grade. Seventh-grade versus seventh-grade, and two against one from a superior position, no matter how you look at it, Liu Hua seems to be at a disadvantage, and being able to retreat without getting hurt is the best result.

However, at this critical moment, Liu Huan's speed suddenly increased by more than twice without any support in the air.

If her figure was a light falling leaf before, then in this instant, she turned into a meteor, and she actually passed through before the two intersecting sword lights merged.

The next second, Liu Huan had pierced the heart of the blood stick on the left with a sword, then turned around calmly and faced the other blood stick on the right.

The process was so fast that no one around noticed. Just when Liu Huan killed the blood stick on the left, the blood stick on the right had clearly turned his knife around and was able to support his companion, but at that moment, he seemed to be stunned, his reaction was obviously half a beat slow, and his whole body was stiff and weird, and his movements seemed extremely uncoordinated.

However, Su Daoshan, who was dozens of meters away, suddenly opened his eyes wide and turned to look at Song Xier in surprise: "What is the silk thread on Liu Huan's body..."

"Did you see it?" Song Xier was shocked, and her expression was even more surprised than Su Daoshan.

Su Daoshan nodded.

Just now, he saw clearly through reading that dozens of strange threads suddenly appeared on Liu Huan's body. One end of these threads was hidden in her hair, palms, arms, shoulders, waist, back and feet. It can be said that they were everywhere on her body. The other end was like being tied to an invisible needle, spreading and shooting in all directions.

The reason why Liu Huan's body suddenly accelerated in the air was due to these silk threads.

Because when she jumped into the air, although she didn't make any movements, the threads on her body shot out silently like octopus tentacles and pierced into the wall first. Therefore, it was better to say that she was pulled over by these threads rather than accelerating in the air.

Afterwards, the abnormality of the blood stick on the right was also the work of silk thread.

Because when Liu Huan was dealing with the blood stick on the left, seven or eight silk threads had quietly pierced into the joints of the limbs of the blood stick on the right, just like controlling a puppet, pulling its limbs.

Although this control only lasted for a brief moment, it was enough for Liu Huan to kill her opponent and turn around calmly.

However, what Su Daoshan did not expect was that at this moment, Song Xier looked at him as if she saw a monster.

"What's wrong?" Su Daoshan felt a little frightened by being looked at.

Song Xier's eyes flickered, and after a long while she spoke, "This woman is a craftsman of the gonghuo dao, following the path of creation, and one of the strange arts she has comprehended is [Embroidery Girl]."

So that's it. Su Daoshan suddenly understood.

Among the extraordinary professions, the five major orthodox professions have their own different paths. For example, scholars of the Shitu Dao have three paths: reading, asking questions, and copying. According to the "Yi Men Jiang Hu Lu", craftsmen of the Gonghu Dao have three paths: gathering, measuring, and creating.

Of the three paths, gathering is the most formidable, measuring is the most difficult, and creating is the most extensive.

The way of creation includes almost all the craftsmanship professions known to people, such as blacksmith, carpenter, weaver, embroiderer, potter, bricklayer, bamboo weaver, stonemason, tailor, dyer, leather worker, painter, etc.

Even professions such as paper-making, porcelain mending, umbrella making, and incense making have their own corresponding special skills.

It is no exaggeration to say that the number of professions in this path alone is equivalent to the number of professions in all walks of life.

Therefore, among the extraordinary professions, the skills of craftsmen who create things are the most diverse and varied. It is difficult to know what professional skills a craftsman has mastered.

And Liu Huan's embroidery is one of the special skills of the craftsman creation path of the Craftsman of the Craftsmanship. With this special skill, the extraordinary warrior can greatly improve the accuracy and concentration, and have a natural control over the needle and thread. He can release invisible silk threads to assist in combat. Just now, Liu Huan pulled herself and controlled the opponent, which is one of the uses of this special skill.

Just as he was thinking, Su Daoshan saw Song Xier still staring at him with strange eyes, and couldn't help asking guiltily: "Those silk threads...can't you see them?"

Song Xier said unhappily, "You may be able to sense it during the fight, but with the naked eye, and from such a distance, there are not many people in the world who can see it."

Su Daoshan blinked his eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Don't tell others that you can see it." Song Xier was silent for a moment and warned solemnly.
