Chapter 5 The Thunder Rises Again
The sunset on the western horizon was already burning red, trying to resist the arrival of the night with the last firelight. A layer of unmelted snow on both sides of the road sets off the road that is almost impossible to see.
Captain Lin took the reins and led the horse to the side of the road.
"It's getting dark, speed up the pace for me!" Captain Lin shouted at the team. There was still some distance to go to the next county town, but it was getting dark quickly, and Captain Lin was obviously a little anxious.
When the soldiers in front of the plaster heard Captain Lin's shout, they all accelerated their pace and trotted up, pulling the convoy away for a distance. The coachmen also raised their whips and swung them twice at the horse's buttocks, causing the horses to speed up. For a while, the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves overlapped and then roared together.
Seeing that the speed of the convoy had increased a few points, Captain Lin clamped his feet in the belly of the horse, turned his head and chased after him. Although Captain Lin is only in his twenties, he has clear military discipline. Especially when it comes out on a mission, it is even more cautious and meticulous. This is also due to the Lin family's tutor, the Lin family has always been strict in family education, and Lin's father governs the family like the army. Captain Lin's father is the former old captain, and the old captain is dedicated to Yubei County. But he was unfortunate to be old and wounded. Mrs. Li said that the old lieutenant agreed to retire and let the youngest son take over.
The old lieutenant is an older generation who has suffered from the war, so his consciousness is very high. Before the eldest son learned to walk, he had already begun to arrange for his son to join the army. The second child of the Lin family gave birth to a daughter, and the old captain Lin did not eat for two days. Later, I also had a little relationship, and I was sent to Yuezhou just after Jilu. The old lieutenant's favorite is still the youngest son, who likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child. The old lieutenant felt that his youngest son was talented, and he would definitely be able to continue his mantle in the future.
However, the Lin family does have some talent in this area, and their performance in the state academy has always been very good. Captain Lin chose a military academy with a relatively small number of people in the state academy, and returned to Yubei County after leaving the academy, and at the age of fourteen, he followed Captain Lin to learn to lead soldiers and participate in missions. Mr. Lin felt that his youngest son would be able to make a big difference in the future, and maybe he would be able to become a general, and Mr. Lin couldn't help but laugh every time he thought of this.
……
Captain Lin chased after him on horseback, and just after the first carriage, he heard a sound coming from inside.
"Captain Lin, don't worry." An old man's voice came from inside the car, and his voice was not slow or hurried, as if he was comforting the young lieutenant.
"Heavenly Master, it's getting late now, and there is still some distance from Changling County, how dare you delay sending you to school." Hearing the reassurance of the old man in the car, Captain Lin replied. After all, it is not easy to walk at night, and it will be much riskier to march at night.
After a brief conversation, the convoy returned to silence, except for the sound of soldiers' footsteps, horses' hooves, and the creaking of wagons. Several voices mingled to make the convoy seem a little less silent.
Captain Lin turned his head from time to time to observe the surroundings, and the darkness quickly fell. The boundless black is like a giant net cast down from the sky, enveloping everything inside. Only a glimmer of light remained in the sky, but it couldn't hold back for long. As night fell, Captain Lin felt more and more uneasy, always feeling that he would rush to the side of the road at any time to kill a group of people.
Just as Captain Lin was looking left and right, the troops in front of the pad suddenly let out a few screams, accompanied by the sound of a sharp sword piercing his body.
Captain Lin tugged at the reins in his hand, and after the white horse was grabbed by a fierce force, the horse's head twisted to the right and raised its front hooves. Captain Lin stood on the road alone and on a horse, and before the horse could drop its hooves, he found that something was wrong.
Captain Lin looked at it fixedly, and two short swords with pitch-black barrels were flying towards him quickly. These two short swords were darker than the night, and they were extremely fast. If it weren't for the blood on the knife, it would have been difficult to detect their presence.
"Not good!" Captain Lin shouted and prepared to draw his sword. But the two flying swords like black lightning did not give him time to react, and the next second, the two flying swords had already flown in front of him.
Just as half of Captain Lin's sword was still in its sheath, there was movement in the carriage behind.
"Who is so presumptuous!" The old man's voice came from the carriage, still the same unhurried voice. Between the words, the two flying swords seemed to be blocked by a transparent wall, and they hung in front of Captain Lin out of thin air.
Seeing that the flying sword couldn't move, Captain Lin immediately prepared to draw his sword and cut it down. But as soon as he raised his hand, the two short swords turned their heads and disappeared into the night.
At this time, the old man and the two Taoist boys also got out of the carriage.
"Since Your Excellency is here, why don't you show up and see you." The old man straightened up, straightened his clothes, stroked his white beard and said with a slight smile.
Hearing the old man's shout, a dozen or so black figures emerged from the darkness not far away.
Captain Lin was shocked when he saw this, raised the knife in his hand again, and shouted to the soldiers in the rear: "Line up and protect the convoy." ”
I saw that the soldiers behind me skillfully ran up and surrounded the convoy tightly. The people hidden in the dark night and the two unusual flying swords hidden in the night made Captain Lin clearly understand. This group of people is no ordinary robber, and they should not be taken lightly.
As soon as the military formation was set up, I saw that the two short swords that had just disappeared into the darkness quickly flew towards the direction of the rear of the car. With the last attack, this time Captain Lin's spirit has been raised to the extreme. Seeing the flying sword coming, Captain Lin gave an order.
"Formation! Protect! I saw that the soldiers around the convoy were holding their swords to the sky in their right hands, and their left hands were on their right hands, and a huge circular shield protected the convoy inside. The two flying swords were bounced back when they touched the invisible shield, and after several unsuccessful attempts, the flying swords flew away again, this time flying back into the hands of one of the men in black.
After the flying sword was withdrawn, the owner of the flying sword took two steps forward and walked to the black-clothed man who was led by a huge figure.
"The old Taoist didn't make a move, so he can't see his current Taoism." It was a woman who spoke, and the woman's tone was cold, just like the night.
The previous attack was just a temptation, and the group of people in black didn't know the details of the other party, so they didn't dare to make a rash move. The other Heavenly Master did not rush to make a move, so the two sides fell into a brief silence.
"Solve the goal, don't fight." The man in black commanded the few people behind him in a chaotic voice, as if he had a stone stuck in his throat.
"But the old Taoist killed Ye Yan!" The woman was a little emotional and stepped forward to speak.
"If you can't complete the task, the Lord won't be happy." The man in black said coldly.
Seeing that the woman stopped talking, the man in black led by him stepped forward and took off the black hooded cloak on his body to reveal his true face. It was a shirtless middle-aged man holding a wide giant sword in his hand. Through the darkness, you can also see his distinct muscle lines, as well as the domineering power hidden in his body.
The middle-aged man took a few steps forward and stopped, smashing the giant sword in his hand into the ground with a buzzing roar. The middle-aged man's intentions are obvious, and his attitude is obvious.
When the old man saw the person in front of him, he was still the same as before. He walked out slowly, a flying sword floating behind him.
The middle-aged man saw the old man walk out and took the lead in making a move. The middle-aged man lifted his wide giant sword and slashed at the old man. The giant sword slashed through the air with a loud sound, and the next second it was already above the old man's head. The old man pulled his right hand, and the flying sword behind him galloped out, intercepting the middle-aged man's slash in mid-air.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and took advantage of his height to press down the giant sword in his hand. The flying sword was pressed by the giant sword and sank for a while. Seeing this, the old man turned his fingers into his palms and dragged the flying sword in the air, so that the flying sword did not continue to sink.
The old man and the middle-aged man were entangled together, and the figure of the other party was gradually revealed. Only then did the old man realize that the huge guy on the other side was not an ordinary human being, or strictly speaking, he was not a human being.
"It's a demon" The old man found that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly passed the word to Captain Lin behind him.
Seeing that the old man was distracted, the other party turned around the giant sword, and slashed down at the old man again with the help of the weight of the giant sword.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly swept back a few steps and collected the flying sword. This demon has rough skin and thick flesh and great strength, and he will definitely suffer in a head-to-head confrontation, the old man thought to himself.
The leader of the demon slashed through the air with a sword, and seeing that the old man had the intention of retreating, his momentum increased greatly, and he raised his sword to cut it over.
The old man took a few steps back, and after standing firm, he clasped the ring finger with the thumb of his right hand, and his lips trembled rapidly, and he pinched out a trick.
I saw that the wind and clouds changed in an instant, and the thunder rolled in the sky. Before the demon could react, a thunderbolt immediately fell.
In the midst of lightning, the battlefield has changed dramatically. After the sound of thunder smashing boulders, a huge crater was left on the ground.
The demon warriors also froze when they saw the scene in front of them, not daring to move forward. I only saw a big pit being split out of the fighting place in the distance, and I didn't see the leader.
The old man looked at the huge pit on the ground, brushed his beard, and was very satisfied. If you are struck by this thunderbolt, you will be crippled for life if you don't die!
Both sides of the battlefield looked at the huge pit in front of them expectantly, but the results expected by both sides were different. And at this moment, a smoking hand gave birth to a huge pit.
Obviously, the Heavenly Master's heavenly thunder just now did not kill the other party, and the Heavenly Master and Captain Lin were obviously very stunned. Although they knew that the Majin's body was very hard, they didn't expect it to be so hard. Captain Lin wanted to lift his sword up, but was stopped by the old man. The old man realized that the situation was not right, and this demon was not the ordinary person he had encountered before.
"Don't underestimate the enemy!" The old man said as he stared at the pit intently.
……
The demon leader crawled out of the pit with black smoke on his body, and the rock-like flesh on his back was split several times. In his other hand, he still held the wide greatsword, but the greatsword had shattered to the hilt.
The demon, who was a little dazed, glanced at the hilt of the sword in his hand and threw it aside. Then he stared intently at the old man in front of him, motionless except for breathing. At this moment, the magnitude of the demon's breathing was obviously much larger, and his eyes were gradually covered with bloodshots. In the next second, the demon's eyes were completely red.
"Yeyan's account, let's settle it all today!"
