It turned out to be... using local materials
Her target was not the weeds, but the fireflies in the grass.
The talisman and the introduction turned Yue Yaoguang into a complete three-level technique. Even the technique that the fox demon was not good at still caused Ba Xingtian to fall into temporary blindness.
What a plan!
He followed the path in his memory and closed his arms hard, but couldn't catch anything.
Then, there was a whistling sound of wind behind him.
This process happens in a blink of an eye, and most people don't have time to react.
Ba Xingtian turned around almost subconsciously and waved his fists in the direction of the wind!
There was another loud noise.
But this time, the other party did not fly out.
On the contrary, Ba Xingtian felt a huge force coming from the front of his arm, and even Fudou Mingshen made a cracking sound.
The white light disappeared, and as soon as his vision recovered, he saw a huge slap.
The woman had disappeared, replaced by a giant fox that was half taller than a man. Its claws were as sharp as a knife and had penetrated his stone-like skin. If he hadn't blocked the blow with his reaction, the result might have been completely reversed.
But even so, now he has no advantage in strength in front of the fox demon - although she can no longer cast illusions to hinder her consciousness after returning to the monster form, her physical strength and speed have been comprehensively improved, and the magnitude is somewhat surprising. It was beyond Ba Xingtian’s expectation.
Feeling that his alchemy was disintegrating, he stopped holding back his strength and slammed forward, using his shoulders to push away the pair of giant claws, and then pulled out the heavy sword from behind.
A reverse slash from bottom to top forced the fox demon back.
"Didn't you say that just relying on your palms is enough to deal with me?"
Li exhaled a breath and spoke slowly with a changed voice. At the same time, he was secretly surprised in his heart.
This man must be a bit too strong, so big that he doesn't look like an alchemist at all. The power of the palm just now could smash even rocks, but he was able to resist it with his physical body.
And what's up with that sword? Don't most alchemists use mahogany weapons to deal with monsters and monsters? Why is this guy holding a gold and iron sword, and the length and width of the sword are comparable to ordinary people... Is this how he usually gets rid of evil spirits
"I admit that I underestimated you." Ba Xingtian said calmly, "It's really difficult for me to control the intensity and capture you alive."
"bluff!"
Li opened his front paws and swept across, but was blocked by the opponent.
"Come again!" Ba Xingtian said loudly.
She gritted her teeth and slapped her left and right several times, but failed to break through the former's defense - the heavy sword seemed to be extremely heavy, but it could fly up and down in his hand, as if it was weightless. And he admitted that after losing in the first half, his momentum not only did not decrease, but instead grew higher and higher.
"It's my turn next, watch out!"
Following a reminder, Ba Xingtian struck out with his first sword.
Simple and unpretentious, but unavoidable - this blow was not swung randomly, but was stuck between the timing of her claws. She had no time to leave the attack range of the epee, so she had no choice but to block it!
The claws made contact with the sword body, and were then smashed into pieces one after another. The heartbreaking pain instantly penetrated her mind.
If the sword had an edge, her entire forearm would be severed.
But Ba Xingtian didn't stop at all, and the second sword followed closely!
This time the injury was on the leg - although he managed to deflect the sword edge with his tail, it still left a scar on the fur that was deep enough to show the bone.
When the opponent raised his heavy sword and was about to strike for the third time, Li suddenly realized that he had fallen into a trap.
His high momentum and attitude of letting himself strike first were all part of the strategy. It looks rough and bold, but in fact it is a chain of links-making her attack multiple times. In addition to looking for flaws, it also makes her think that the opponent is going to fight to the end with strength. Once she catches an opportunity where she can't change her moves, she will immediately launch a counterattack.
This large-scale attack was unavoidable, but it left her with a little leeway. It would only make her choose between being injured or being killed. Once you choose to get hurt, you will inevitably fall into a desperate situation step by step until you can no longer resist.
The so-called "difficult to capture alive" is just a cover for the other party. What he wants now is to capture her alive - it's just that the method of capturing her alive has changed from two palms to a heavy sword.
After a few more blows, she could only lie on the ground and let others knead her.
In a flash of thought, Li made a decision resolutely.
Facing the third sword, she did not get out of the way, but rushed towards the blade, while aiming her sharp claws at Ba Xingtian.
This is a revolt that hurts both sides.
That was also her answer!
The sharp claws scratched the opponent's head, and the heavy sword cut into her waist and abdomen at the same time. This time, the opponent finally couldn't pull out the sword quickly.
Li used his last strength to turn around and flick his tail, sweeping Ba Xingtian to the ground. Then he took three steps and two steps in a row, jumped up towards the outside of the town, jumped over the bottomless cliff, and ran in stumblingly. Between dense forests.
"Have you been discovered... It's amazing." Ba Xingtian patted the bloody hair on his body and stood up slowly.
At the same time, a straight crack appeared on his silver mask and expanded rapidly. Finally, the mask split in half and fell to the ground with a clang.
He admitted that in the last fight, he took a step out of the way, and because of this, the third sword failed to kill the fox demon on the spot. As a local guard, he had no intention of trading his life with a monster, but the other party's judgment and determination still made him couldn't help but admire him.
Using the power of Fudo Myojin, he launches continuous attacks with his heavy sword, making the enemy exhausted in defense until he dies from accumulated injuries. This is his most common technique.
There are many people who can detect the trap halfway, but there are only a handful of people who have the courage to face the desperate situation and launch a desperate counterattack. Even if they know that this may be the only way to survive, few can be as outstanding as the fox demon. The key to the so-called fighting with one's life lies in the word "fight". If fear and panic are mixed between the moves, it will naturally be impossible to force him to give in. A seemingly desperate attack will only lead to death once one loses concentration.
It had been a long time since he had encountered an opponent that was so satisfying to him.
Although the combat experience is still very lacking, his spirit alone is worthy of praise. If time passes, she might become an enemy remembered by the Privy Council.
But... that's no longer possible.
Although the third sword was biased, it was still a fatal wound. There was not even a human being in this barren mountain place, let alone a medical center willing to treat the monster. She could not survive for a few days relying on her self-healing ability.
After the death of a demon, it is no different from an ordinary person. The corpse will gradually decay, and the Qi will return to the heaven and earth.
This green hill is her cemetery.
Ba Xingtian picked up the heavy sword and mask fragments on the ground, turned around and walked towards the suspension bridge.
…
Is this... the strength of the Privy Council
Li felt a strong dizziness hit her heart. She was unable to maintain her huge size and returned to human form.
The injuries on her hands and legs were bearable, but the torn transverse wound on her waist gave her the smell of death.
The person who could appear in Qingshan Town would obviously not be the most powerful alchemist in the Privy Council, but even so, she still couldn't even see any hope of winning.
Not to mention that there is more than one guard in the Privy Council Palace, and there are also Qingjian and Yuyi whose official titles are higher than those of the guard.
No wonder the "Master" warned her many times not to be an enemy of the Privy Council and not to attract their attention.
"I have no other expectations, I just hope that you can live well. Don't come to me, and don't seek revenge for me. Just pretend that I have never seen you."
These were the last words "Master" left before confining her.
But how could she forget everything that happened in the past
Ever since she could remember, the woman in green had been present in most of her life. It was she who taught her literacy, writing, etiquette and the rules of the world. Even if the other party never admits that there is a master-disciple relationship between the two, she has already regarded the other party as her only master.
Li originally thought that days like this would continue until the Privy Council came to visit.
The woman in green clothes disappeared and she became a person.
"Master" taught her many things, but he did not teach her how to fight against the Privy Council.
She must find her own way.
But now... everything seems to be moving away from her.
The severe pain made Li almost breathless. She staggered and sat down against a big tree. The hand covering her abdomen was soaked with warm blood.
She is not afraid of death.
But before she achieves her goal, she cannot die like this - once she is gone, no one in the world will remember that woman's name. No one will remember that she once picked up a newborn fox demon in a bamboo forest.
When she died, the master died with her.
This consciousness allowed Li to regain control of his body, and his mind seemed to be clearer.
No, we can't stay in the mountains. Even if Ba Xingtian doesn't search for her, she will definitely die. With her current weak body, let alone the alchemist, even the beasts that followed the taste of flesh and blood could kill her.
But where can she go now
Healing requires clean water, food, a place to rest, and maybe a bunch of herbs.
The nearest town was at least five hundred miles away, and she couldn't walk out of the mountains with her feet.
"It would be better if I didn't throw away that beef..."
For some reason, Li suddenly thought of that weird young alchemist.
Forget it, she told herself, expectations at this time were just weak appendages. The other party's attitude is based on the difference in strength between the two parties. If he finds that he has lost all resistance, will he still sit down and have a conversation like before
The possibility is slim.
Humans are a fickle species.
Perhaps the only thing she can do is to tell the other party the story of "Master" so that her name will not disappear from the world.
As for her own fate, that was something she was unable to care about.
