The few teenagers who came out of the Forbidden Forest breathed a sigh of relief and were one step closer to completing the question asked by Demon King Yanluo, but only Hyacinth knew that the real challenge had just begun. He untied the ropes that had been tied to them one by one and took them to rest in an open space near Lingqian Palace.
He pointed at the huge black shadows shaking in front of the Lingqian Palace in the distance and said, "Look, those are the guard warriors!"
Qianqi didn't care at all and said to himself: "Who cares about the guard warriors, let's see how I can level them one by one."
Hyacinth saw that it was because the first two things were easier to complete, which caused them to relax, and he had to give them a blow at this time. In the face of an enemy as powerful as the guard warriors, underestimating the enemy would have fatal consequences. He said: " Defeating them is not as simple as you think. Here, Demon King Yanluo has endless mana, and they are the most powerful warriors he has ever created, so our chances of winning are only a few percent."
Qian Qi was still optimistic and asked: "They can't be more powerful than the Rakshasa Mother, right? We won easily last time."
Ouyang Xiaoliang felt the seriousness in Hyacinth's tone and had to ask carefully: "How many warriors are there in total?"
Hyacinthus answered the two of them's questions truthfully: "There are ten of them. Although one of them alone cannot be equal to the Rakshasa Mother, the combined force of ten people is definitely several times more powerful than the Rakshasa Mother."
Ouyang Xiaoleng said while thinking deeply: "Last time Qianqi and I launched the Demon Alliance to complete the Ice Dragon Xiaoxue move, we just barely defeated the Rakshasa Mother. Even if we add Xia Qiu this time, I don't know how confident we will be. "
"I will also help you. In any case, I am already in the same boat as you. Although I have not participated in any battles in the hundreds of years since I came to the underworld, my strength is definitely not as good as before. But my demonic power is still there and can still be of some use when needed." Hyacinth's tone was very firm, because he had already made up his mind.
His words made several young people feel warm in their hearts. Xia Qiu was so moved that she smiled and said with tears in her eyes: "That's great, Hyacinth, thanks to your help since we got here! We really I don’t know how to thank you!”
Her smile was so warm that it made Hyacinth feel like a spring breeze. Maybe it's because warm things are really rare in this cold underworld, so anything will make him feel that he is so lucky, and what he gets far exceeds what he pays.
He thought for a while and said: "I think it would be better if we divided into two teams! With one weak and one strong, the Qianqi team and I are responsible for attracting the attention of the guard warriors as much as possible. Although they are strong, their IQs cannot be complimented. Because in the final analysis, they are just a group of puppets of Demon King Yanluo. When they started to attack me and Qianqi, Xiao Leng and Xia Qiu's team took advantage of the situation and attacked the gate of Lingqiu Palace from behind, trying to use it. Open the door as soon as possible."
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu nodded in agreement with his plan: "Understood!"
Hyacinth continued to make arrangements: "Once they discover your actions, they will turn around to guard the gate. At this time, Qianqi and I will counterattack them, with the purpose of making them vulnerable from both sides, making it difficult to take care of both ends. Their protection range is only the Lingqiu Outside the palace's surroundings and the gate, they cannot enter Lingqian Palace even a single step, so I hope that at least one of you three can enter the palace gate."
"Oh, just do as you say!" Although Qianqi also wanted to team up with Xia Qiu, he still accepted Hyacinth's arrangement.
With everything ready, they began to approach the front of Lingqian Palace, with Hyacinth and Qianqi in front, while Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu hid slightly behind. The murderous aura of the guarding warriors could be felt from a distance. Several blood crows flew over their heads, making cries of ah~~ah~~, which sounded like a clarion call for war.
Qianqi summoned his Divine Dragon Fire Bow, took a few deep breaths, and when Hyacinth nodded towards him, he knew that the time had come. Without saying a word, he followed him and jumped out, heading towards the Lingqian Palace. Launch a feint attack from the front.
The guard warriors are tall and strong, wearing black armor, standing in front of them like ten stone mountains. When they discovered that they were coming, they also attacked them at the same time. They wore claws in their left hands and carried spears in their right hands. They ran with loud bangs and dust on the ground, like a fast-moving black storm. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of two people.
Qianqi used the dragon fire bow to shoot purple light arrows at the guard warriors. Those arrow clusters were either stuck in their bodies or passed by them, but they didn't take it to heart. He also had to admit that these behemoths really had no pain nerves. Even if they were shot in the head, it would not affect their ability to move forward at all.
"Flowers are spinning in tears." Hyacinth stretched her arms and waved her sleeves, and the flying blue petals formed a powerful cyclone. His demonic power was much stronger than Qianqi imagined. He saw Hua Lei rising up in a whirlwind and heading straight towards the guarding warrior with a sharp scream.
This move was immediately effective, weakening the first wave of attacks from the guard warriors.
Qianqi did not dare to neglect, and immediately used the dragon fire bow to continue the fierce attack. With Hyacinth's help, Qianqi's attack this time was even more aggressive, and several of the guard warriors had already fallen down after being hit by arrows. Through the initial battle with these moves, Qianqi discovered that although they were strong, their bodies were too big and clumsy, and their sense of balance was not very good. They had to focus their attacks on one side of their bodies to expose them due to their loss of center of gravity. flaw.
Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu, who were hiding on the side, saw that the guard warrior had fallen, so they took the opportunity to rush towards the gate of Lingqian Palace, intending to seize this opportunity and rush inside. Unexpectedly, after running a few steps, the guard warriors who were not looking at them seemed to have eyes behind them, turning around and running toward them.
"No! Hurry, we must ensure that they enter the Lingqian Palace smoothly!" Hyacinthia shouted at Qianqi, while calling out the cane and speeding up the pace to slash at the warriors guarding the spirit, each time using more fierce attacks than the last.
On the other side, Qianqi engaged in close combat, put away the dragon's fire bow, and used the hydration device to summon his sword Yazui. With Hyacinth's help, he jumped up, waved his 睝睷, and aimed at the back of a guard warrior. The guard warrior staggered to the ground, but at the last moment, he waved his clawed arm and scratched one of Qianqi's thighs.
Qian Qi laughed at himself: "I was careless!"
The wound was not very deep, but it still caused him to kneel down on one knee in pain, and blood kept oozing out. The two guard warriors next to him changed directions together, one from the left and the other from the right, attacking from both sides, and the sharp spear pointed directly at his chest.
At the critical moment, Hyacinth rushed forward, knocked him away with force and shouted to him: "Don't let up, their reaction is much faster than we think!"
"Yeah, I didn't expect these guys to look so heavy and bulky, but they are so fast!"
Qianqi smiled sheepishly, put aside his pain for the time being, stood up and rushed forward, continuing to attack the nearest guard warrior. At this time, he had to grit his teeth and let the bright red blood droplets stain the dust. There was only one belief in his mind. No matter how big the sacrifice, he had to protect Xia Qiu and reach the gate of Lingqian Palace safely.
In front of the palace gate, Ouyang Xiaoleng and Xia Qiu also had no choice but to join the battle. For Xia Qiu, this is her first real combat. Although Xiao Leng repeatedly reminded her not to be brave, she still threw herself into the battle selflessly because she didn't want to hinder everyone. She used her body's dexterity and flexibility to resist the attack of the guard warrior with her plum blade, but it was already very difficult to just resist the attack, let alone fight back.
Those monsters seem to have endless energy, and even now, they show no signs of fatigue. No matter how hard they tried, they remained silent, not even breathing slightly. In the entire battle space, apart from the sound of metal collisions caused by swords fighting, there were only waves of hoarse shouts from Xia Qiu himself, Ouyang Xiaoleng, Qianqi and Hyacinth.
The battle in front of him was getting more and more difficult. Although Hyacinth had repeatedly warned Ouyang Xiaoleng before and he had made full preparations in advance, he did not expect that when the two sides actually fought, the strength of the guard warriors was still far beyond his imagination. The silver divine ice in his hand released a dazzling light that was more dazzling than any previous battle. He guessed that this might be because he fought side by side with the blood pact maker Xia Qiu for the first time. The blood of the Silver Fox Divine Lord was boiling in his body, controlling him to better use the power of the divine ice.
He continued to raise his demon power cyclones and surrounded Xia Qiu so that they could be intertwined with her power and protect each other.
He also discovered that the weakness of the wake warriors was that their speed dropped significantly during close combat. Because of their excessive size, the range of movements caused by them was unusually strong. There would be a certain period of lag after each movement. Although the timing of the pause was It's short, but can be put to great use.
In an emergency, he reminded Xia Qiu: "Get as close to them as possible and speed up the attack, but be careful of their claws!"
"Understood!" Xia Qiu felt the demonic power from Ouyang Xiaoleng surrounding her, and became more and more courageous. She increasingly realized that her every move seemed to be driven by the plum blade. As long as she launched a stronger attack, The more it can stimulate the infinite power contained in the plum blade itself.
Master Yong once said that the plum blade itself is the carrier of battle memory. It can copy and record every battle process of its user. If you can become one with the Plumblade Man, following its power will also be the best opportunity to learn how to fight.
The wake warriors were fighting against a machine that was wound up with a clockwork. Even now, there is no sign that their fighting power has weakened at all, and as time went on, each move became more fierce than the last. On the contrary, she began to gradually become exhausted, her attacks gradually became weak, and she could only parry. She thought about whether she could try to attack the wake warrior's legs, because it seemed that she would have an advantage in attacking there.
She dexterously changed the angle back and forth, feinting to get close to the body of the guard warrior, and then stabbed his sword towards the joint of his leg armor. She felt that the knife in her hand penetrated the guard, not very deeply, but enough to make the guard unable to support his bulky body, and began to lean and fall towards the stabbed leg. She wanted to pull out the plum blade quickly to avoid the claws that the opponent might swing at any time, but the front end of the blade was stuck in its armor and could not be pulled out. She saw that the claws of the guard warrior were about to swing towards her.
At the critical moment, she raised her body, kicked the thigh of the guarding warrior, and used the force to pull out the knife, and she was thrown out with the force. The guard warrior who was attacked by her let out a low roar and fell to the ground. After struggling for a long time, he could not stand up anyway. The spear and claws in his hands were also thrown aside.
Xia Qiu discovered the enemy's weakness and shouted to the other three: "Attack their legs! They are too heavy, so if their legs are injured, they will not be able to stand!"
At this time, another guard warrior actually threw the spear in his hand towards her. She couldn't dodge and was scratched on her left shoulder. She instantly felt as if the injured side was burning with flames, and the burning sensation and pain swept through her entire body. She tried not to say anything because she knew that if Ouyang Xiaoleng and Qianqi found out that she was injured, they would be distracted and unable to concentrate on the battle.
Even in the stalemate battle, Ouyang Xiaoleng still paid attention to Xia Qiu with his peripheral vision. He seemed to see her being attacked by the guard warriors, and quickly asked: "Are you not injured?"
"It doesn't matter, I'm fine!" Xia Qiu forced a cheerful face and replied calmly. In order to convince Ouyang Xiaoleng to believe her words, she immediately started fighting the guard warrior who was attacking her.
