457 Leap into the sky, slash into fire and rain
The black-scaled monitor lizard carried the two of them forward, and Gou Zhu only felt the wind whistling in his ears.
They were soon on the edge. Ahead was not a jumble of defensive positions, but a neat row of tall shields glowing with blue aura, each half a man's height. Heavy helmets were exposed from the shields, and only a pair of shining eyes could be seen under the helmets.
Behind the shield, the shiny spears were like trees, and the tips of the spears were pointed at the front. Between the shield-bearer and the pikeman stood two rows of archers, one half-crouching, while the other was standing with a full bow.
The combat effectiveness of the Demon Realm of the Crane Clan army is not the strongest, especially this race likes to be vassal, and regards fighting and killing as barbaric, so most of the ground troops are contracted by their vassal tribes.
But the army of this kind of big tribe is still not something that a few scattered cultivators can compete with. It's just the immortal killing arrows in the hands of those archers, even if each one only has the strength of the Zhuji monks, a few hundred rounds in a salvo are enough to shoot several Xudan monks into hedgehogs.
So Gou Zhu was very stunned, and he tried his best to hide himself behind Lin Mei'er. But he secretly thought that if a row of arrows really came over, the delicate woman's body might not be able to block a few arrows at all. He'd rather hold on to wood.
The black-scaled monitor lizard finally rushed to the front of the defensive line. Sure enough, they didn't shoot arrows. There are quite a few Tianchi Black Riders who have withdrawn like this, and they are used to it.
What's more, the black-scaled monitor lizard has a violent personality and is not as docile as the blue-horned lizard. It is not a Tianchi black ride that has been trained for many years, and ordinary people cannot control it. They weren't worried about someone getting involved.
No one knows that Lin Meier doesn't just dance. Under the special training of the Lin family, she is almost full of eighteen martial arts. Controlling the black-scaled monitor lizard is certainly not a problem.
In front of the formation, she waved her long whip again, shouted and slapped the lizard's head, and the huge lizard immediately rose into the air, jumped two zhang high, ten zhang away, and jumped directly over the large array composed of shields and spears, and jumped to the back of the large array.
Then he rode into the dust, disappeared into the night, and rushed straight to the shore.
Gou Zhu suddenly felt that it was not bad to hold this person, at least it felt much more comfortable than holding wood.
The one he wanted to hug the most was Lian Ling. But he didn't dare. It's not that he and Lian Ling haven't been in contact, but he has never taken the initiative to do it.
Although Lian Ling has a mild personality, the coercion of the Jindan monk is not a vegetarian after all. But she is also a woman, and her waist should be no less than the one he is holding now.
Lian Ling was the first woman to be shocked at the first sight, as if he felt that time how could there be such a beautiful thing in this world that people could not forget at first sight.
This may just be an illusion. Objectively speaking, she is not much different from most female cultivators who carefully maintain their faces. Especially among the Yao women like the Crane Clan or the Human World, she is actually not so conspicuous.
But there seemed to be an implication in the dark, which made him have this strange feeling.
"Hurry up and let go!" Lin Mei'er warned sharply.
The hook in meditation only then let go of his hand. The monitor lizard has run here, and it is relatively stable. Ahead is a gentle sandy beach. The army of the Crane Clan is concentrated on the island, and there is no arrangement on the lake.
The monitor lizard did not pause at all, swaying its body and running directly into the water. Then his head and most of his back remained above the water, turning into a triangular arrow made of water patterns, swimming into the distance.
At least Lian Ling should be able to withdraw. Can she really get out of the way? Gou Zhu looked up at the sky.
At this time, Tianchi City was as bright as day. Because there is a magnificent silver waterfall around it, which is pouring upside down into the sky. This is obviously a huge moat. But this wall enveloped the entire Tianchi, so it was still far away from them, hundreds of miles.
This hook is not afraid, he has no intention of leaving Tianchi City. As long as he hides in the sea of people in the city, the Crane King can't help him.
At the height of the zenith, a line of erected black rays was flickering, like a crack erected in the heavens and the earth, which made Gou Zhu's heart extremely uneasy.
It was the black light shot out of the Crane King's extermination sword, almost splitting heaven and earth into two. He wasn't worried about cutting Lian Ling's body in half. The body used to make the spirit puppet was originally dismembered into various parts, processed and then restored and combined.
The sword silver mangs that Lian Ling slashed out were much weaker in comparison. But when the two rays of black and silver light touched, the silver long light suddenly shattered and split into dozens of smaller silver rays, bypassing the black light.
It was Lian Ling's fish scale sword, which disintegrated into dozens of sharp fish scales, spinning like a swarm of meteors, emitting bursts of sky-breaking screams, flying towards the Crane King.
The Crane King smiled contemptuously, and the long sword in his hand continued to slash without stopping, but the red crown in the center of his eyebrows once again spewed out a world-destroying aura, like a black cloud rolling, instantly engulfing all those flying scales.
Those scales were all obtained by Lian Ling from the Purple Mansion Fish Demon who originally lived in the Blood Lake, although they were extremely sharp, after all, they were only the things of the Purple Mansion Demon. Flooded by the Crane King's world-destroying aura, it burned and turned into ashes like a dead leaf ignited by fire in the wind.
But at this time, Lian Ling's figure flashed and disappeared.
The Crane King didn't care about this. It is not easy for the Sword of Extinction to gather power to cut down this sword, but once this sword is sacrificed, the blade is already locked on the opponent's body. No matter how far the opponent escapes, or even moves to other realms, they can't escape this slash.
Either he will be forced to stop the slash, or he will be forced to take it hard, and there is nothing else to do.
But after Lian Ling disappeared, he suddenly felt a warning in his heart, and felt a gust of wind rushing straight in front of him. When he looked up, what he saw was not Lian Ling's sword qi, but a dense black droplet condensed by a piece of world-destroying evil qi, which arrived in front of him like a torrential rain.
The Crane King immediately understood. Although he has two physical bodies, the other is actually controlled by the Jindan Dream Spirit in his body, and the two are relatively independent, not freely controlled. There will naturally be loopholes in the mutual cooperation, which were exploited by this Jindan female cultivator.
The sword in front of me was just a cover. As soon as her figure disappeared, the green dragon shield behind her naturally disappeared. As a result, the rain of world-destroying black liquor released by the body controlled by the Jindan Dream Spirit naturally rushed towards the Crane King himself.
A wave of anger rose in the Crane King's heart. He just planned to attack the female cultivator back and forth, but he didn't expect to be used by the other party instead. Obviously, his strength is much stronger than the other party, but the feeling of getting in the way really makes him extremely depressed.
His realm is indeed much higher than Lian Ling, but the Crane Clan, a race that likes to be elegant and basically neutral, guards one acre and three points of land in Taibai Forest and rarely goes out to fight, and it is difficult to compete with Lian Ling, a monk who kills the Quartet to become famous in the world.
He has been practicing hard in Taibai Forest for more than a thousand years, and I am afraid that he is not as good as the demons killed in the battle of Blind Mountain on the eve of Lian Ling's eighth year.
Right now, if he completely prevents this rain of black liquid, then the killing of the Extinction Sword will inevitably be interrupted. If you ignore it, then this black liquid may hurt your body.
The Crane King's heart was horizontal, and his left palm was blocked forward, releasing a stream of golden pill mana to control the batch of black raindrops that were floating wildly, protecting the body. Ignoring the right hand, he continued to slash with a sword.
Although he had the control of these world-destroying black liquids, this blow was not him, but his doppelganger, and its strength was exactly the same as his own. Therefore, it is almost impossible for him to stop it with just one hand.
Sure enough, although a lot of black liquid stopped in front of him, as if forming a black water curtain, there was still a lot of black liquid that passed through this layer of water curtain and landed on the left half of his body. In particular, he has the most on his left palm. When the black liquid fell on his body, it also immediately burned through his flesh and skin, and white bones were even exposed in several places on the palm of his left hand.
Obviously, his strength is less than half of his own, but he can injure his body, which makes the Crane King angry in his heart, and almost all the mana is injected into the extermination sword that he slashed with his right hand.
He doesn't need to pay attention to where the other person is. No matter how far she escapes to the ends of the earth, when this sword is sacrificed, it is already destined to fall on the other party's body. The only thing to determine is whether the consequences of this sword will be a heavy blow or death.
Although this female cultivator is a little clever, she is absolutely not opportunistic in this kind of unavoidable hard duel!
Sure enough, the other party seemed to notice this. At the same time as this sword fell, in the night sky, below the Crane King, a huge wooden tower emitting a bright blue light suddenly flashed. The aura on the tower is rising, which is obviously a powerful defensive magic weapon.
Instead, the Crane King showed contempt. The other party was also helpless, and even took out this kind of defensive magic weapon that only had the power of the Purple Mansion. For his blow, it was just a mantis arm as a car.
The Crane King didn't care if the nun was in the tower or not. If the opponent is in the tower, then this sword will inevitably slash at the tower and pierce the opponent's body. If the other party is not there, then the sword will naturally fall to the other party's hiding place.
Sure enough, with a sword slash, the entire wooden tower exploded, turning into countless fragments like fireworks, dragging the long flame tail and falling into the heavenly pool, as if a burst of cyan fire rained.
