There are bandits in Zhongshan

Shuoyuan was ravaged by wind and snow all the year round, and the northern mountaintops had not seen the sun for a long time. Now, the spiritual power was surging, and the killing intent spread every inch, and the already gloomy sky became darker and darker.

One of the two monks was holding a mother-child dragon and phoenix ring, which was shining with golden light. He shook his hand and made a chaotic sound. The phoenix ring suddenly flew out amidst the chaotic impact, and rushed straight to Zhong Mingzhu's eyebrows. On the way, There are huge wings spread out from both sides, as if there is a phoenix flying in the sky.The other person behind him holds out a scorched black guqin, with a flick of his hand on the strings, the continuous sound of the piano turns into a tangible barrier, which seems harmless but hides murderous intentions, which perfectly fills in the gaps exposed by the other person when he attacks. empty door.

Although the two of them were forced to show up in a hurry by Zhong Mingzhu, they were masters in the final stage of transformation after all, and their experience was beyond ordinary people's reach. Without a trace of panic, they formed an offensive and defensive front in an instant.

One person attacked mercilessly, and the other assisted with the sound of the piano, complementing each other to weave an airtight net, surrounding Zhong Mingzhu.

If she took the phoenix ring hard, the zither sound lurking around would instantly turn into a sharp blade and pierce her through.

Those two monks were outstanding even among those at the late stage of Transformation God. They had practiced for many years, so they had heard of Lu Li's notoriety. If they fought alone, neither of them would dare to advance, but there were only two of them at this time.

However, Zhong Mingzhu was alone, and Chang Li Chu who had reached the state of transformation by her side would not pose any threat, and could even be said to be a drag.

She will definitely be distracted from taking care of Chang Li - the two of them are so determined, they take everything Zhong Mingzhu and Chang Li said and did after they went up the mountain into their eyes, and they will not miss the undisguised affection.

Although Liu Hanyan ran away, at least they could make up for it with other things. Thinking of this, they couldn't help showing smug smiles.

But in the next moment, the smile that had not been fully revealed froze.

I saw a white robe dodging between Fenghuan and Zhong Mingzhu, Changli, who was supposed to be protected by Zhong Mingzhu behind him, swung his sword to meet the golden ring that contained thousands of years of skill, almost like a mantis holding a chariot.

With a soft ding, the branch firmly pressed against the golden ring. Although the golden ring was still spinning, the huge wings on both sides were retracted. It was the monk who retracted half of his power.

When Changli flicked his wrist, the golden ring flew far away. She herself was also a little surprised. Just now Zhong Mingzhu sent a voice transmission to her asking her to block this move. The golden ring was coming menacingly. She felt that with her cultivation Because most of them are no match, but I also think that since Zhong Mingzhu arranged it like this, it is naturally reasonable.She didn't have any twists and turns in her heart, she just said, "Since you said it, then I'll go and catch his move", so she stepped out with the sword without hesitation.

She was already prepared to be backlashed by spiritual power, but who would have thought that the other party would forcibly withdraw her power, she was immediately surprised: "What's going on?"

"They dare not hurt you." Zhong Mingzhu said through voice transmission, and then she raised her hand, and several flames flew up to entangle with the sound of the piano, and said loudly on purpose: "Li'er, you go and deal with them."

As soon as the words fell, she turned into a flame and disappeared.

"Okay." Chang Li nodded, and in the next moment, tapped his toes, his body was like a white rainbow, and he swept towards the cultivator playing the piano with a sharp sword aura.

"Lu Li!" The cultivator playing the piano turned livid with anger, sideways avoiding Chang Li's sword, and cursed, "You wolf-hearted thing! You actually asked a junior to fight for you!"

Yue Mo was really angry, and he still called out Zhong Mingzhu's previous name.

"Haha, Xiao Ning, you are too shameless to yell and curse when you are no match for the juniors. Let your apprentices and grandchildren know, I am afraid that you will jump off the cliff in shame." A mocking voice floated in the wind, "It's not as good as yourself Let's dance first, so as not to make Ge Zaozong a laughingstock."

"Shut up!" The man frowned, and when the sound of the piano vibrated, several sharp knives flew towards the source of the sound, but Zhong Mingzhu would not stay where he was, he had already moved elsewhere.

The person holding the piano is Xiao Ning, the former suzerain of Ge Zao Sect. Ge Zao Sect is one of the three sects of Xuanmen in Qingzhou. Step into the void realm.He had fought against Zhong Mingzhu before, and the two should have been evenly matched, but Zhong Mingzhu predicted that there would be a big demon in the vicinity that day to bear the catastrophe of thunder, and the thunder disrupted his piano sound, causing him to finally He has always been brooding about the defeat. He thought he could get revenge this time, but Zhong Mingzhu would use such a low-level method.

Seeing that Zhong Mingzhu couldn't be moved, he turned to Changli and said, "She has such a high level of cultivation, yet she abandons you, such an unkind person, why should you believe her nonsense, why don't you stop it as soon as possible. Are you We don't want to accidentally hurt you, Tianyi Sect disciple."

The other person immediately nodded in agreement when he heard the words: "In Xiasanhe Weishi Weidi, Tianyizong and our generation are best friends, so there is no need to hurt our friendship because of that traitor."

But Changli turned a deaf ear to this, if Tianyi Sect disciples advised her like this, she would probably hesitate, but those two people have nothing to do with Tianyi Sect, so no matter what they said, it just fell on her ears.

What's more, those two people wanted to kill Zhong Mingzhu when they made a move, and they persuaded her to stop just to deal with Zhong Mingzhu, so she couldn't even think of this.

So no matter how the two expressed their affection, she remained unmoved.

Seeing that the persuasion was fruitless, the two changed their strategy and planned to capture Chang Li first.With their cultivation base, it is not difficult to catch Chang Li, but Zhong Mingzhu is lurking in the dark, harassing them from time to time, making it impossible for them to succeed.But they couldn't turn around and look for Zhong Mingzhu first—after fighting, they realized that they not only underestimated Zhong Mingzhu, but also underestimated Chang Li.

The white clothes could turn around freely in the howling wind on the top of the mountain, which was actually more flexible than them.They rely on their own spiritual power to condense a barrier to resist the wind that can easily sweep people away.Changli seems to be riding the wind, and her body skills are integrated into it. Not only does she not need to consume spiritual power, but she can also take advantage of the wind to catch them by surprise. Moreover, she seems to know their weaknesses under the guidance of Zhong Mingzhu. Every sword is pure. ultimate move.If they were distracted for a while, they might be captured by her.

Originally, they planned to concentrate their efforts to kill Zhong Mingzhu first, and then capture Chang Li. With Chang Li around, Zhong Mingzhu would be too busy to take care of himself whether to fight back or escape. Who would have thought that Zhong Mingzhu would actually push Chang Li out and let her confront her head-on? The two were fighting with great powers at the end of the transformation stage, but they hid themselves instead.

Anyone who acts like this will call him "shameless".But this happened to be extremely effective. Zhong Mingzhu asked Chang Li to take the first move in order to test the other party's intentions.It can only be said that Wei Di was still not cunning enough, as soon as he saw Chang Li blocking him, he hurriedly withdrew his hands, and Zhong Mingzhu found out the details.

The situation was completely reversed. Xiao Ning and Wei Di struggled for a long time but found nothing. Although they were not really hurt by Chang Li, they were inevitably disturbed. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, it seemed that a snowstorm was about to come, the two made a calculation , and planned to retreat first.

If the weather gets worse, it will only make it harder for them.

With a certain idea, one of them headed east, the other headed west, the entangled figure separated in an instant, Chang Li's sword was lost, and he was about to pursue, but Zhong Mingzhu said: "Don't chase."

Afterwards, the warm breath pressed against her back, and she felt a tightness around her waist, and then she was held by Zhong Mingzhu and flew up into the air, only stopping at a height of several tens of feet.

"I learned it very quickly, and I can fly in a short time." Zhong Mingzhu exclaimed unabashedly, "Much faster than me and Lu Lin."

Changli's movement skills between those two people obviously realized after hearing what she said. When he fought Liu Hanyan before, he was far less agile than he is now.

"Yeah." Chang Li lowered her eyes, and her ears turned red. She had been placed with great expectations since she was a child, and she had long been accustomed to hearing praises such as "talented genius" and "rare to meet in ten thousand years". Zhong Mingzhu's approval immediately gave rise to a sense of joy in his heart, and besides that, there was also a slight embarrassment.After that, she glanced down, looking down from the top, she could clearly see the black robe on the snow.

The wind was stronger again, even though they had a strong cultivation base, it was almost difficult for them to walk in the chaotic wind in the extreme north compared to usual.

"What to do next?" Changli asked, she felt that since Zhong Mingzhu pulled her up, there must be a reason.

Zhong Mingzhu smiled slightly, did not speak, but stretched his hand forward, and then squeezed his five fingers together suddenly.

In an instant, the flames scattered all over the snow were ignited together, and the tongues of flames flowed, criss-crossing to form a huge spirit pattern, and countless blood-colored thorns sprang out from the snow, rushing towards the two people.The formation that forced out those two people before was somewhat similar to this one, but it was far inferior in terms of scale and momentum.

At first the thorns only scratched Wei Di's shoulder, but this time they completely covered the two people, even their screams were swallowed up.

"I'm not hiding just to watch a show." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile.

The flame covered the entire ground, and it gradually faded away after burning for a long time, leaving only a few thorns that wrapped around the two people and dragged them to one place. They did not die, but lost their ability to move.

Changli noticed that after climbing to the top of the mountain, flames appeared everywhere Zhong Mingzhu led her, and asked in surprise, "You started to arrange it as soon as you came up?"

"Their way of hiding their breath is still too bad." Seeing the dust settle, Zhong Mingzhu fell back to the ground with Chang Li, she caught a glimpse of the doubts on Chang Li's face, and continued to explain, "If the arrangement is completed from the beginning , those two people will definitely notice when the spiritual power is flowing, so I will arrange half of them first, and then arrange the remaining half when you restrain them."

Changli nodded, and couldn't help feeling a little admiration for Zhong Mingzhu.She has never considered these things, and she is often blocked by soldiers and covered by water.

"If you are strong enough, you don't need to worry about arranging these." Zhong Mingzhu sighed, "Both of them are masters at the end of the transformation stage. If I fight them head-on, I have no chance of winning. I can only take the risk of letting you fight with them first." They mess around, sorry."

"This is a strategy to defeat the enemy." Changli shook her head, she thought of Tianyi School's formation technique, and said, "Tianyi School is famous for its formation technique, but it seems that it rarely integrates formation technique into sudden battles Yes, how did you come up with this?"

"It's also accidental." Zhong Mingzhu said with a smile, "I used to fight against Lu Lin, but I was always unable to beat him, but once the magic weapon I accidentally dropped merged with the terrain, forming a maze and tripping him Stop it. I think that when fighting against each other, you can't stick to the opponent itself, you have to take all the world you are in into consideration."

Changli let out a "hmm", looked around the unburned flames on the ground, and asked again: "If you were them, how would you deal with it?"

A hint of cunning flashed in Zhong Mingzhu's eyes: "Of course walking is the best."

If those two people found that the situation had changed and left immediately, they would not have ended up like this.

After a few words, the thorns had dragged Xiao Ning and Wei Di in front of them, Wei Di could no longer move, Xiao Ning was still struggling, but those thorns had drained his spiritual power to the very last, even if he exhausted all his strength Also just futile.

"Who is the wolf-hearted dog, huh?" Zhong Mingzhu casually kicked Xiao Ning's hand sticking out of the thorn bushes, with a shallow smile like a spring breeze.

Xiao Ning's eyes widened in horror, his face twitched until he was almost distorted: "I...it's me! I'm the one who's heartless, kill me, kill me!"

Wei Di also began to say something intermittently, but his voice was too soft. After Changli listened carefully for a while, he realized that he was also begging Zhong Mingzhu to kill him.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago. Why bother?" Zhong Mingzhu said in a relaxed tone, as if she was just chatting with them. With the curiosity in Chang Li's eyes, her smile suddenly faded, as if she was a little hesitant.After a moment of silence, she pulled the length away, and then used spirit stones and talismans to build a barrier, enclosing Xiao Ning and Wei Di in it.

You can't see what's going on inside from the outside.

"Li'er, wait for me here, don't come in." Zhong Mingzhu instructed, and then stepped into the barrier.

Chang Li was a little puzzled at first, but when he thought about the pleading of those two people, he vaguely understood.

Ordinary captives beg the other party to spare their lives, but these two people begged Zhong Mingzhu to kill themselves, which means that they will face a situation more terrible than death.

But what she once heard from the disciples described Zhong Mingzhu most as cunning and - tyranny.They said that Lu Li, also known as Zhong Mingzhu, was cruel and took pleasure in torture, even innocent people would not be spared.

There was a faint shrill cry coming from the barrier, and Changli didn't know if it was her own illusion, she could sense the rushing spiritual power inside, as well as some kind of icy breath, as if it came from the abyss.

Changli suddenly felt a little cold, and her previous experience had never told her that such a thing existed in the world.Whether it is the family rules or the teachings of the elders, there is no similar existence.Even the past told by Zhong Mingzhu is full of unusually warm tones.

She stood there, wanting to cross the boundary countless times to see what was going on inside, but she never really took that step. She didn't know whether she was afraid or felt it was unnecessary.

The sound of the wind sometimes amplified and sometimes lessened, the sky darkened and then brightened again, and as the day passed, Changli felt that the barrier gradually calmed down, whether it was screams or anything else, it disappeared.

It should be over, she thought, but after several hours, the spiritual power that built the barrier began to weaken.

Zhong Mingzhu stood with his back to her and his hands behind his back. There was nothing beside him, whether it was the blood-red thorns or the two monks who were restrained by her, they all disappeared without a trace.

After the barrier completely disappeared, the spiritual power overflowed after the monk died, and in the tide-like spiritual power, Changli smelled a faint smell of blood.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Zhong Mingzhu turned around and walked towards her with his usual face. When he saw her frowning slightly, he stopped immediately, flicked his sleeves and frowned, "I waited a little longer, Why haven't you cleaned it up yet?"

She looked a little dissatisfied, a little embarrassed, and even a little nervous that was hard to detect.

"Why..." Changli looked at her calmly, all emotions were deeply hidden, "Do you like this?"

"Huh?" Zhong Mingzhu was waving his hands trying to drive away the lingering blood energy, but failed to understand Chang Li's words, "What do I like?"

Chang Li bit her lip, she was a little timid, she thought it would be better to let it go, but after much deliberation, she couldn't bypass those laws that had been followed for many years and had almost become instinctive, so she said again: "They... the disciples in the sect, once Tell me, you like to torture people."

She thought that Zhong Mingzhu would be silent, or immediately defended himself, but the other party let out a long "oh", then hammered his hand, with an aggrieved expression on his face: "Has my reputation become so bad?"

Then, she shook her sleeves vigorously, expressing her disgust without hesitation: "Wow, you don't know how ugly their voices are and how ugly they look. I want to cover my ears and eyes."

"Then why torture them?" Chang Li finally showed his expression.

"Liu Hanyan left a long time ago, but they are still guarding here. They were not surprised when they found us. They looked as if they knew about our existence." After shaking his sleeves, Zhong Mingzhu began to brush his shoulders again, looking I can't wait to clean my whole body with something, "I want to find out why they know."

Glancing at Chang Li's expression, she continued: "As for other things, I'm not as kind-hearted as you advocate, but I won't just grab someone on the road and get cramps."

A large part of her notoriety stems from the battle in Kunwu City. Others only said that her methods were cruel, and the blood and flesh flying across the border was horrible, but they don't know if she was not so intimidating, how could so many monks lose their positions before the battle started? , that's actually what she did on purpose, although she doesn't object to it herself.

"I thought you thought the smell of blood was too strong." She pouted, looking a little aggrieved.

"I..." Changli was about to say that she didn't, but before he could say anything, he saw Zhong Mingzhu's face change slightly, and then, he saw a ball of fire covering her from bottom to top. Appearing in front of Chang Li was a young man in gray cloth.

The gentle and delicate face is somewhat similar to Zhong Mingzhu's, and the slightly shallow pupils are exactly the same, but if she hadn't known that this person was transformed from Zhong Mingzhu, she would never have guessed that they were the same person.

Changli couldn't react, but Zhong Mingzhu made a silent gesture to her, she could only nod her head, but soon she understood.

Something in the distance is approaching.They are spirit beasts in the shape of black panthers, with a single horn on their faces, five tails dragging behind them, and bright flames burning all over their bodies.

"It's Huo Ji, a spirit beast raised by the Huo Zheng clan." Zhong Mingzhu whispered to her via voice transmission.

The huo stalked towards them, bared their teeth, as if they were threatening, and after a while, several figures rushed over from afar.

The leader is a master of transforming gods, followed by seven Nascent Soul cultivators. They are tall, dark-skinned, with flame-like totems tattooed on their faces, and the weapons in their hands are all made of blue-black iron, shining with a strange luster.

"Who are you!"

As soon as they arrived, they surrounded Zhong Mingzhu and Changli, and aimed several weapons at their throats.
