Until the flickering flames lit up the high cliffs.
Hong Lei's face suddenly changed, but after seeing the cultivation level of that group of people, a hint of suspicion appeared in his eyes.
In full view of the public.
The thin old man with a silver shawl slowly took a step forward.
There was no trace of emotion on his haggard face.
He just jumped straight off the high cliff, with his trouser legs rolled up and cloth shoes on his bamboo-like calves, and landed steadily.
"Form a formation!"
Hong Lei's pupils narrowed and he drew out his sword.
Even without Zhao Kanglin's command, more than twenty golden eagle captains in the inner camp had found their positions skillfully. As they flipped their hands, black chains emerged from their cuffs like giant pythons, emitting a chilling aura.
The rest of the people in the outer camp had different postures and skills, especially the old captain in the Jade Liquid Realm, who actually took out a pair of crescent-shaped thorns.
Under such circumstances, it can be said that Elder Angry Sword has little chance of winning.
But his calm demeanor made Hong Lei inexplicably nervous.
Just then, a heavy object came out of the night.
When it landed with a loud bang, revealing its exaggerated shape, everyone was stunned.
Zhao Kanglin's neck was twisted behind his back, his head drooped limply, his limbs were broken, his arm bones were broken off and stabbed into his waist and abdomen like sharp blades. Before he died, his face was full of confusion.
Then, a figure in a blue and white cloth shirt slowly stepped out.
From the round collar, a flat head covered with scales extends out, with protruding vertical pupils on both sides of the head, and an extremely long mouth that opens slightly, revealing two rows of sharp teeth.
"The Yangchun River Crocodile Clan?"
Hong Lei took a slow breath and recognized the highly recognizable demon.
The fishy smell of blood is extremely pungent even from a distance.
He looked at the silver-haired old man in front of him again: "..."
"The Demon Suppression Department said that we were colluding with demons. I have been thinking about it."
Elder Nujian walked steadily, and with every step he took, the anger in his eyes diminished by half, and his aura became much stronger.
He held the five-foot-long iron sword at an angle, and the blade flew sparks on the ground.
The old man said in a hoarse voice: "I'd better really collude with the demon."
Many captains had deathly silence on their faces. The reason they were able to maintain their formation was not because they were not panicked, but because they had already guessed their fate.
Anyone who could get rid of General Zhao in such a short time must be a demon who has reached the perfection of Jade Liquid Realm, or even more powerful than Elder Angry Sword.
"Why bother? We are just following orders to guard the mountain and prevent the demons from sneaking in and escaping. As long as you stay on the mountain peacefully..."
Hong Lei lowered his head with a sigh, and spoke in a calm voice, as if describing a fact: "You colluded with the demons. This time, Qingfeng Mountain is really going to be lost."
A Demon-Suppressing General is enough to overwhelm Qingfeng Mountain. There is a master like him in each of the twelve counties of Qingzhou.
If a second person is transferred in regardless of the cost, exterminating the entire family is just a matter of an order from the general.
"I have slain demons throughout my life, even though it was for fame and fortune, and to exchange their beast essence for precious pills, but I have a clear conscience."
"In the end, they became accomplices with him. How ridiculous."
"The sword has been in my hand for three hundred years, but it is controlled by others!"
Elder Nujian walked closer and closer, until his aura almost reached its peak: "The leader is stupid and has failed us. I will now sacrifice my old body in exchange for the lives of you gentlemen, and fight for a way out for the innocent disciples of Qingfeng Mountain."
The anger in his eyes was completely exhausted, like a candle in the wind, but the flame was still frighteningly strong. Unfortunately, he still fell short by a hair and failed to reach the true peak.
Elder Nujian had a complicated expression on his face. He raised his sword and pointed it at Shen Yi in the crowd. "You saved my beloved disciple's life, but I can't save you. I hope the captain will forgive me and lend me your head."
"…"
Shen Yi raised his eyes and looked over: "Can I not lend it to you?"
Borrowing money would be fine, but why do you want to take my head right away?
By now, he had probably figured out the situation.
The Demon Suppression Division was right, there were indeed demons on the mountain, and they had never really intended to attack Qingfeng Mountain, otherwise they would not have just let the captains guard the mountain path.
The disciples of Qingfeng Mountain did nothing wrong, they just didn't want to be forced to be buried with the demons, but they couldn't make the decision... From the sound of it, it seemed that even their cultivation was controlled by someone.
They are all mayflies in the water, fighting hard for their future and life.
Shen Yi placed his five slender fingers on the hilt of the knife and then gripped it tightly.
"I don't have much time left. I can't take your head, so just give it to it... Of course, you can also try to escape. There should be a good chance."
Elder Nujian frankly acknowledged the young man's strength. He was over three hundred years old and his body was exhausted. Even if he used secret techniques to squeeze out the last bit of life, he could not be a match for this man who had just broken through to the perfection of Jade Liquid and whose whole body was like a precious medicine from heaven and earth.
But at the same time, the opponent could not be a match for this thousand-year-old crocodile.
Hearing this, Hong Lei looked to the side in surprise.
I originally thought that everyone was waiting to die and just wanted to try their best to die a little more gracefully, but I didn't expect that Shen Yi still had some strength left, and even this old man admitted that he was inferior to him.
In just a few words of conversation.
The crocodile dragon had already walked over, with human emotions flashing in his bulging eyes: "He just said it casually, don't really believe it, there is actually no chance."
It stretched out its claws and gently touched its nostrils. Its voice was a little more fiery, a little embarrassed: "You smell like my master's family... I really tried very hard to suppress it... But I still can't wait to chew your flesh and blood."
As it spoke, sticky, transparent saliva dripped from the corners of its long, flat mouth.
"Just like this..."
The alligator's head trembled, and it kept grinding its teeth. Greed in its eyes became more and more fierce, as if it saw the most precious delicacy in the world.
I wish I could strangle the other person in my arms, taste him in small bites, swallow every bit of flesh and blood, and make it a part of my own body.
An unexpected surprise! An unexpected surprise!
It left Yangchun River this time because it heard that the Sixth Master was trapped by the Demon Suppression Division. The master was anxious and sent it here to find out the news.
Sixth Master has not returned to Jianghe Cave Mansion for one or two hundred years.
The crocodile dragon never thought that it could rescue the other party from the Demon Suppression Bureau. It just came over to take a look, but it smelled the scent it had always dreamed of on a mere warrior.
Thinking of this, it steadied its slightly trembling body and turned its gaze again.
Such a precious delicacy would be even better if it could be paired with the fear before death!
"I really want to eat you right now..."
Seeing the strange and ferocious posture of the crocodile dragon, many demon-suppressing captains felt their faces go numb.
Only those who draw their swords slowly.
Under the messy hair, with lowered eyes, at an angle where no one could notice, emotions similar to those of the crocodile gradually emerged.
The same passion, just more restrained.
Shen Yi raised his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "That's such a coincidence."
Shrouded by the cold gaze, the crocodile suddenly became much quieter. The burning in his eyes quickly faded, turning into surprise, shock, and finally into boundless anger!
It was like seeing the plump and tender livestock on the plate suddenly raise their heads, showing their fangs and greedy eyes to themselves.
Even more greedy than myself!
He wants to eat me?!
