Xu Xiaoyan originally wanted to capture her and rescue Shi Hao, but she failed to capture her after a long attack, and other warriors heard the noise and surrounded her.
In desperation, she quickly pulled back, suddenly took out a brick, slapped it in front of her, and jumped in.
Du Yuejiao's sword flashed like a galaxy rolling back, rushing over, but hitting nothing. When he looked again, the female thief had disappeared into thin air.
She slowly put away her sword, snorted, turned around and floated away.
Little did she know that there was an exquisite rag doll sitting on the eaves high up, the doll looking down at her back, its eyes inlaid with black gemstones sparkling, as if it had mysteriously reflected her figure in its eyes.
Shi Hao jumped up and down, taking advantage of the crowd, and kept avoiding Zhuo Mulan's pursuit.
Sometimes there would be lone warriors who wanted to kill him, but he would use his Qi to lead them and quickly change direction, causing Zhuo Mulan behind him to miss his sword.
Zhuo Mulan only had the foundation of the sixth rank, but he was completely helpless against him.
Shi Hao's figure was "pulled" onto the arrow tower. He chopped down the unprepared archer with a sword and kicked hard on the arrow tower.
His figure drew a straight track in the night and quickly climbed up the city wall.
There was a sword light below, coming like a dragon.
Shi Hao retracted his legs and curled his body into a circle in the air, avoiding the sword light by chance.
When his body stretched again, he had already climbed onto the city wall.
Two warriors tried to block him, but he swung his sword between them, and it seemed as if a mysterious vortex was pulling the two men towards the center.
The two of them were startled and exerted force in opposite directions. The suction suddenly stopped.
The two warriors exerted too much force and were separated. Shi Hao's figure passed between them, actually flew over the wall, flew out, escaped from the city, and flew into the forest.
Suddenly, sword energy came rolling in, dense and continuous.
Shi Hao thought to himself "Not good", turned around quickly, and cut it with his sword using his Qi sensing ability.
With a loud bang, although he successfully intercepted the opponent's sword, the opponent's power was superior to his, and he was thrown backwards.
Snap! The trunk of a tree was broken by his back.
Zhuo Mulan broke through the night and fell down.
Although it is said that "don't chase a desperate enemy", she was already aware of the strength of this murderer.
This murderer had a sword in his hand, but he used knife skills. Although this knife skill was strange, his foundation was of the seventh rank.
Now that Zhuo Mulan had the chance, she would not let this criminal who had bullied her female apprentice go at all costs.
Zhuo Mulan landed gracefully on the ground. She was wearing a green Taoist robe embroidered with a pattern of "bamboo brings peace", which means bamboo and magnolia.
The Taoist robe has a lapels-around collar, and the bamboo embroidered on it is light blue, while the marigold is the same pink as the collar.
A wide belt was wrapped around her waist, and a Taoist ribbon was tied on it. She had a Taoist bun called "Fantianyin", which was similar to the stacked bun in style, but more straight, and a Taoist hairpin was inserted.
She was less than 30 years old, actually only 28. She had a full chest, and in order to chase the murderer, she jumped down from the air, and when she landed, her chest swayed up and down slightly due to the strong wind.
"Death, evil villain!" Seeing that the young man with the hooked nose took her sword attack and hit his back against a tree, he must have suffered internal injuries.
She took advantage of the situation and showed no mercy to her enemies. The sword flashed like a net that dragged the sky and the earth.
The sword energy was like a cloud, crisscrossing and moving straight towards the young man, determined to kill him on the spot to avenge the humiliation of his beautiful disciple.
The young man with the hooked nose jumped up quickly, brandishing his sword, and quickly retreated while blocking all her attacks.
Zhuo Mulan uttered "Huh" softly, quite surprised.
You know, the seventh grade and the sixth grade, although seemingly only one level apart, can actually be said to be at a different level.
Below the seventh rank, it is difficult to release the true qi, and even if it is released occasionally through moves, it is difficult to sustain. However, above the sixth rank, it can be done easily, and therefore, it can practice more martial arts and master more killer moves.
Even the moves that he had practiced before became much more powerful due to the release of true energy.
Besides, she had just used all her strength to attack, but she was one level short of her power, so her strength was quite different. Although the young man had intercepted her killing move, he should have been deeply shocked and injured, so it was impossible for him to be completely unscathed.
But she never imagined that this young man had two kinds of internal forces in his body, which were quickly switched at this moment, one to fight the enemy and the other to protect the body.
What protected her body was the supreme secret of Taoism which was even more advanced and superior than what she had practiced!
The young man used the superior Taoist true energy, and whenever her residual energy entered his body, he would quickly cut it out and quietly protect his body. Although he only had a seventh-grade foundation, it helped him to dissolve a large amount of Zhuo Mulan's energy.
It's like, after Zhuo Mulan's energy breaks through the Mo Xiao Wuji Gong, he still has to break through the Ju Jing Liu Zhu Qi before he can seriously injure him.
The Taoist superior true qi has miraculous healing effects. Although there was a slight vibration in his lungs, it quickly turned around and he recovered immediately.
How could Zhuo Mulan have imagined that there was such a strange thing as the dual cultivation of Taoism and magic in the world? Seeing that the young man could not withstand her sword energy, but was safe and sound in the blink of an eye, she was quite surprised, and thought that this must be a demon sect's evil skill that was forced to endure.
The demon sect has its own evil skills that can forcibly suppress injuries, and even temporarily increase strength by hurting oneself.
But such measures are doomed to be unsustainable.
Ahead in the city, the murderer relied on passers-by and kept dodging her attacks.
Zhuo Mulan was afraid of hurting innocent people and could not bring herself to kill.
Now that she was in the forest, she no longer hesitated and let go of her hands and feet. She grabbed the whisk at her waist with her left hand and used her left and right swords at the same time.
Shi Hao only saw the shadows of the whisk and the sword coming at him from all directions at a mysterious angle. For a moment, he felt like a mouse trapped in an iron net, facing the needles pressing in from all directions, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape.
Fortunately, when he entered Yuanshi Cave Heaven last time, he followed Fairy Shengxuan to learn a lot of Taoist knowledge, and soon realized that the opponent's attack was not really without trace, but was in line with the Nine Palaces Technique.
Du Yuejiao had also used similar skills, but they were obviously inferior.
Shi Hao was originally a time traveler, and his ability to learn was extremely strong. Although he only made up for this kind of knowledge last time, he still learned a lot.
He gritted his teeth, retreated while slashing with his sword, using the Purple Swirl Sword Technique and the Nine Palaces Divination to counter each move.
The purple vortex sword technique combined with the magic of the infinite power was like creating space traps in the invisible and formless space. Zhuo Mulan had a stronger foundation and was stronger, but he felt as if there were invisible vortices in front of him, which was weird and inexplicable.
She snorted, and relying on her greater power, she actually threw aside her own mysterious sword skills and used a head-on confrontation, thrusting her sword straight into the opponent's sword, engaging in a series of clashes.
Finally, after dozens of collisions, the young man spat out a mouthful of blood and was thrown backwards.
Zhuo Mulan was overjoyed. This guy really had a weak foundation and was only relying on evil skills to suppress his injuries.
As she watched, the other party rolled on the ground in a panic, staggered and turned to flee. She leaped forward, the sword flashed again, turned into a sharp light, and slashed at the young man.
However, Shi Hao was not injured. He relied on magic power to fight the enemy and true Qi to protect his body. Although he was not as good as Zhuo Mulan in terms of foundation, Zhuo Mulan's sword energy could not hurt him easily.
He continued to show weakness and even rolled on the ground. Swoosh, the sword light slashed over him, and two trees fell down with a loud bang—
Chapter 69: Master and Disciple Are the Same
The two trees were cut by the sword light, and the leaves fluttered wildly.
The young man staggered and tried to escape, but Zhuo Mulan's sword flashed, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, attacking the young man's back.
The young man with the hooked nose turned around, and there was a jade ring in his hand. The sword light shooting towards him was inexplicably distorted.
Zhuo Mulan snorted. This was the magic weapon "Yuecuo Ring" that originally belonged to Yue Jiao.
Zhuo Mulan knew the "Yuecuohuan" very well. With a wave of his hand, the sword flew back with a swish of sword light.
The distorted space formed by the "Moon Ring" was rapidly shattering.
The young man with the hooked nose flew backwards and grabbed a tiger-shaped talisman stone. With a flash of divine light, his body also grew larger.
It is the magic weapon "Earth Brave Tiger".
At this moment, his divine body protected him and his strength surged.
Zhuo Mulan sneered: "You are really at your wit's end!"
Although the Earth Warrior Tiger can grant divine power, it is pure brute force, which is very powerful against lower-level warriors. Against a mid-level master like her, with this brute force, there is no chance of getting close.
The young man with the hooked nose picked up the broken wood and swept it across. With a crackling sound, the surrounding dirt and rocks flew everywhere, and the wild animals fled in panic.
Zhuo Mulan spread out her body, like a butterfly flying through flowers, and easily dodged all his attacks. The sword light swirled around, cutting off piece by piece the "flesh and blood" transformed by his magical powers.
In a short while, the young man's body disintegrated. Bang, the sword energy chopped the broken wood, and the young man was thrown back with blood spurting out, hitting the stone, and the stone shattered.
Zhuo Mulan's beautiful body floated in the air, her toes touching a branch, the tip of her sword pointed, "Traitor, the Huo family has always been loyal and good for generations. Huo Fu is a well-known good man, but you killed him in such a despicable way. You are really a heinous criminal."
The young man fell to the ground, gasping for breath, but he also laughed mockingly: "Generations of loyal people? A kind man? You said that old man surnamed Huo is a kind man?"
Zhuo Mulan was furious, she didn't know what the villain was mocking. Everything she saw and heard was praise for the "good man Huo". When they first came here, they saw the Huo family giving rice porridge to the victims.
If everyone in the world had this kind of heart, the world would definitely be a much better place.
But the young man's tone was sarcastic, as if she was telling a big joke. Zhuo Mulan snorted angrily: "It's really hopeless!"
The sword flashed and struck directly at the young man's forehead. But the young man shouted and jumped up, still fighting like a trapped beast, with the sword forward.
Zhuo Mulan sneered. She had seen that the opponent's sword was not as steady as before. It was just a bit of remaining strength. So she didn't care and chopped down with the sword swiftly.
But there was a loud bang, and the sword was raised. Zhuo Mulan's body also lost balance.
She was shocked, and before she could react, the exploding sword energy instantly hit several of her vital points. Zhuo Mulan was horrified and wanted to retreat, but a shadow flashed beside her, and after three hissing sounds, Zhuo Mulan's body softened and she fell down.
Shi Hao casually hugged her and lifted her up by the waist. He heard shouting from behind. It was obvious that the warriors of the Huo family were searching this way.
He didn't have time to think about it. He held Zhuo Mulan in his arms and flew into the mountains.
Zhuo Mulan was much stronger than him. Unfortunately, after he repeatedly showed weakness, Zhuo Mulan thought he was at the end of his strength and no longer needed to be feared. With the last sword strike, he thought he could easily kill the thief, but his strength was not enough.
The sword that seemed to be at the end of the road was actually hiding the Jujing Liuzhu Qi, and he also used the Xianli Sword Technique. The purple vortex sword technique contained magic power, which made it more stable, while the Xianli Sword Technique was much lighter.
How could Zhuo Mulan know? He was still judging by his previous martial arts, and naturally thought that the power of this sword was ridiculously weak, but he had no idea that this sword contained the Jujing Liuzhu true energy of the Taisu Immortal Pavilion.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for inferior skills and martial arts to release their true energy. However, the leader of Taisu Xian Pavilion, Wulin, is a mysterious sect hidden in the world of Taoism. How can the martial arts inside be ordinary
Zhuo Mulan continued to fight against Shi Hao's purple swirl sword technique. In the last sword, she was still subconsciously resisting the pulling force of his sword, but was shaken away by Shi Hao, leaving her open. Then, Shi Hao's sword energy was instantly released, and it was difficult for Zhuo Mulan to avoid being hit by the sword.
It can only be said that the practice of Taoism and magic together has never happened since ancient times. No matter how great Zhuo Mulan is, he has never encountered such a situation.
Of course, if she had known in advance that this person, in addition to the magic martial arts, actually also hid Taoist techniques and martial arts that could release his true energy, she would have been able to take precautions.
In that case, it would be difficult for Shi Hao to succeed in one strike.
Shi Hao used a series of tricks and finally succeeded, and secretly said "lucky" in his heart.
On the way, he used the Heart-Severing Finger and added a few more fingers to seal all of Zhuo Mulan's true energy.
"Traitor," Zhuo Mulan was held by him forcefully, unable to struggle, with fear in her eyes, "Let me go!"
Shi Hao thought that after being caught, the master and disciple even said the same things.
In the distance behind, a girl's voice called out: "Master? Master?"
Zhuo Mulan opened her mouth to shout, but the villain lowered his head and sneered in her ear: "Even you have been captured by me, even if your apprentice comes, she is no match for me. Do you want her to catch up and fall into my hands together?"
Zhuo Mulan's words were stuck in his throat and he didn't utter a word.
The villain sneered, holding her in his arms, and flew through the dark forest.
In the forest, the night was dark, as if an invisible beast had opened its mouth and was swallowing her up bit by bit...
—
Shi Hao carried Zhuo Mulan, climbed over a mountain, and came to an uninhabited old forest.
He threw Zhuo Mulan on the grass and pondered in his heart.
What should I do with her now
Shi Hao didn't want to kill her. After all, she was Yue Jiao's master. If he killed her, he and Yue Jiao would become real enemies.
Du Yuejiao, who grew up in a place like Chongxianmen, is not the same kind of person as him.
But he didn't want to be forced into killing her.
He's not that cruel yet.
Moreover, if one must say, the immortal material for the immortal pill that Shi Hao took to advance to the seventh level was actually obtained by Du Yuejiao through her master's relationship. From this point of view, Zhuo Mulan also owed him some favor.
As a member of the martial arts world, even if you cannot repay a favor, you must never repay kindness with resentment.
But he couldn't just let Zhuo Mulan go like that. After all, at that moment just now, in order to escape from Zhuo Mulan's sword, he was forced to use Taoist Qi.
He looked at Zhuo Mulan.
Zhuo Mulan was seen propping himself up on his elbows, looking shocked and horrified: "Who are you? Why do you have both Taoist and Demonic internal powers?"
Sure enough, although he only used one sword at that time, Zhuo Mulan still made a judgment based on his knowledge of martial arts.
Should I kill her? Shi Hao had a headache.
He trusted Xiaoyan, so he didn't hide this from her. But Zhuo Mulan was from Chongxianmen after all.
