At this point, something strange happened. The black robed Priestess raised her hands, holding a statue in her hands. It was about half a foot long. When she lifted it up, the faces of the four people around her changed.
The statue fell to the ground, causing a black fog to rise up. When the wind blew, the black fog dissipated, revealing a ferocious looking black wolf, surrounded by a terrifying black aura.
Pei Zi Yun saw this and felt uneasy. He then charged forward to kill the wolf.
The black robed Priestess pointed at the three mountain warriors beside her and said, "Kill him!"
The warriors who were taken away at the end were all carefully selected, fierce men who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the Priest. Just now, their faces had changed, but now that they heard the order, they no longer had any expression. Even if they knew they were going to die, they still roared and rushed forward.
"Kill!" The four of them started fighting.
The black robed Priestess managed to gain some time. She looked at the black wolf and then at the warriors who were escorting her, "I need a warrior to sacrifice his life for me. Use the body of the Revered Wolf to kill the person who is chasing after me."
"Priestess, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you." The last warrior said as he stood in front of the black wolf.
"What is your name? I will remember your sacrifice." The black robed Priestess patted the warrior's head as she spoke. The warrior then fell to the ground, "My name is Meng Xiuda!"
The mountain people all had Chinese names and mountain names. The warrior was referring to the name of the mountain.
"I will remember you." The priest looked at the warrior and said. Without hesitation, the warrior raised his sword and slashed at his neck. The sword was extremely sharp, and there was only a flash of blood. Under the dim light of the moon and stars, a fountain of blood sprayed out and landed on the body of the black wolf that appeared in the smoke.
The blood splattered onto the black wolf's body and absorbed it. At that moment, the black wolf lit up.
"Kill!"
"Pu pu pu!"
Pei Zi Yun pierced through the bodies of the three warriors as they groaned and fell to the ground. Blood dripped from their swords as their bodies twitched.
Pei Zi Yun did not stop and charged forward.
However, at that moment, the black robed Priestess placed her hand on the warrior's forehead. The black aura around the Priestess' hand was like a white shadow being pulled out by the Priestess.
The white shadow was placed on the head of the black wolf. The eyes of the black wolf were filled with vigor as he looked at Pei Zi Yun.
"Revered Wolf, kill him for me!"
Following the command of the Priestess, the black wolf pounced forward. Black Qi swirled around it, as if it was a demon. Pei Zi Yun's face fell, "Which Dao Technique is this? I don't recall such a thing happening in the original owner's memories. "
The black wolf pounced on her. The black-robed priestess turned around and ran. Suddenly, she felt dizzy. "Damn it, there's a backlash!"
Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to flee.
If he won, all he had to do was be careful. If he lost, he could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
Behind him, a man and a wolf collided into each other. The wolf's claws flashed, and a "pu" sound was heard. Pei Zi Yun's robes were torn apart, but luckily his skin was not cut. Almost at the same time, Pei Zi Yun's sword flashed and pierced through the wolf's claws. The wolf's claws pierced through, and with a twist, the claws were broken.
The black wolf didn't seem to feel the slightest bit of pain as it swiped its claws again. A black light flashed in the air.
Pei Zi Yun unsheathed his sword and retreated. His silhouette flickered as he appeared on the wolf's right side. His sword flashed as fast as lightning, and with a "pu" sound, half of the wolf's neck was sliced open.
At the next moment, Pei Zi Yun's smile froze. The black wolf let out a howl as black Qi emanated from its wound. It trembled as it started to heal.
Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun's pupils dilated. Was it a weapon, or did he not manage to kill it?
"Hmph!" Pei Zi Yun cleared his throat and chased after the black robed priestess. Every weapon required a person to control it. As long as the owner of the weapon was killed, the weapon would lose its function.
Looking over, the black robed priestess was getting further and further away. She had only taken a few steps when the black wolf whipped its tail and swept it towards Pei Zi Yun. Pei Zi Yun's sword landed on the wolf's tail with a "pu" sound. The black wolf didn't seem to feel anything as it turned around and pounced on Pei Zi Yun.
'This won't do. It looks like the black wolf has the intelligence of the warrior who sacrificed himself for me. Could it be that there's some kind of demonic technique?' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself. He didn't want to delay any longer as he shouted, "Bind!"
His long sword glowed with a faint light as his body flowed into it. His sword flashed as he shouted, "Dao Arts, Imperial Sword!"
"Pu!" The black wolf that was pouncing towards him was sliced in half as it fell to the ground. As soon as it hit the ground, it released a black Qi, and its head and body healed.
Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun sucked in a breath of cold air. He had used his Dao Arts and was unable to do anything to it. He had never seen such a weapon before.
'Does this world really have such a technique?' Pei Zi Yun stretched out his finger and a white light flashed. The ground beneath the black wolf turned into sand and sank into the ground.
Pei Zi Yun turned around. The black wolf sank into the sand and struggled for its life. Seeing that Pei Zi Yun was chasing after it, it roared towards the sky as black Qi emanated from its body.
"Ao!" The black wolf's eyes were filled with anxiety as it chased after Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun had only taken a few steps when he felt a gust of wind behind him. He turned around and saw that the black wolf was chasing after him.
'This won't do. The black wolf is too strong. I have to finish it off.' Pei Zi Yun stopped in his tracks as the black wolf stopped as well, observing the situation.
'Hm, I don't believe in strength that comes without a reason.'
'Looks like I have to exhaust your black Qi.'
Pei Zi Yun's sword glowed with a white light. His body flashed as he pounced towards the black wolf once again. The black wolf's reaction was fast, but just as it changed its direction, a loud clanging sound could be heard. The black wolf cried out in pain as its body flew through the air and fell to the ground. However, as soon as it hit the ground, the wound on its body started to heal.
The black wolf crawled up and howled towards the sky. It glared at Pei Zi Yun, its eyes filled with hatred and killing intent.
"Again, kill!" Another round of battle ensued.
After more than ten rounds of battle, Pei Zi Yun was panting. The sword Qi on his sword was flickering. The black wolf's body had many wounds. Some were healing slowly, while others were slowing down.
'It's indeed effective. How many more times can you heal? Kill!' Pei Zi Yun had used up too much of his energy, and suddenly felt dizzy. The black wolf pounced towards him. Pei Zi Yun stretched out his hand, and the vines on the ground started to coil around him.
The black wolf was slower by a beat. Just as the wolf was struggling, a ray of sword light flashed and landed on the black wolf's neck. The wound on its body started to widen.
'Rest in peace.' Pei Zi Yun slashed down once more, and with a 'pa' sound, the wolf's head fell to the ground. The black Qi was extremely thin, and it wanted to heal itself, but it started to dissipate.
Pei Zi Yun squatted down beside the wolf's body, panting heavily. He was like a lamp that had run out of oil. He could only watch as the wolf's body started to shrink until it became a statue.
'What kind of weapon is this? Why wasn't it in the original owner's memories? '
'All the more reason why I can't let her live.' Pei Zi Yun thought to himself as a look of determination appeared on his face. He gritted his teeth and continued to chase after her.
On the other side of the forest
The black robed Priestess was panting heavily. From afar, some of the fleeing warriors started to gather together and kowtow, "Your Excellency."
One of the captains saw that the black robed Priestess was all alone and asked curiously, "Your Excellency, why aren't the warriors protecting you by your side?"
The black robed Priestess paused for sometime before replying, "They're all here for …"
Before she could finish her sentence, she groaned and spat out a mouthful of black blood. Her face turned pale as she fell to the ground.
The warriors were in a panic. Some of them were trying to help her up, while others were trying to find some water. Some of them were panicking and didn't even know what they were doing. All they could do was shout, "Quick, quick, save the Priestess."
The path up the mountain was rough, and Pei Zi Yun chased after them. He turned into a small path and looked down. In the distance, there was a small village. It looked very small, but there were more than ten torches lit on the ground. There were hundreds of people.
At this point, these people seemed to be chopping down trees to build a fence on the ground. It looked like it was used to repel the venomous snakes. In actual fact, at such a distance, the venomous snakes were not an army. They were slowly dispersing, and there were only a few of them left.
There were even people shouting as they tried to gather the people who had escaped.
A fire was lit in the middle of the crowd. Beside the fire was a blanket, and an old woman was lying on it. Several people surrounded her.
"Ge Leiduo, don't you know medicine? What's wrong with the Priestess? Why is she unconscious? "Several warriors were standing beside the black robed Priestess, and they all looked to be of high status. One of them was examining her.
"That's strange. The Priestess doesn't look like she's injured. It looks like she's suffering from the backlash of a spell." One of the warriors said, "Although I don't know any spells, I've seen it happen a few times. It's very similar."
"That's troublesome. Only the Priestess knows how to treat the backlash of a spell. In such a situation, there's nothing we can do." The warrior Ge Leiduo sighed.
"We can't. Do you have any way to wake the Priestess?" A middle aged warrior asked.
"No, I can only treat her injuries. In such a situation, I don't dare to move. If something were to happen, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to save her even if we had ten lives. Not only that, we would implicate our clan and the entire village." Ge Leiduo sighed.
Just as the both of them were speaking, they heard a cough.
At this point, the Priestess had regained consciousness. She spat out a mouthful of phlegm and woke up. Her face was pale as she opened her eyes and looked around before closing them weakly, "I have a small red bottle in my robes. Help me take it out and let me consume it."
"Yes, your excellency." With this order, the warrior beside her retrieved the bottle and swallowed it. After some time, the Priestess' face looked better. She then said, "Help me find a room, I need to rest for a while."
"Yes, your excellency!" The warrior replied.
Pei Zi Yun watched from afar as the night grew quieter. Only the bonfire was still burning. Many people had struggled the entire night, and had not eaten enough food. Hence, they leaned against the grass and fell asleep.
'Including the natives of this village, there are only about three to four hundred people. Among them, there are two to three hundred strong villagers, and only about a hundred elites. '
'But this is still very scary. Under such circumstances, it's not suitable to force our way in. There's a limit to one's strength. Not to mention the fact that I've destroyed the black wolf's weapon. I've expended a lot of energy. Even if I rested for a while, I wouldn't have much Dao Arts left. '
Pei Zi Yun fell silent as he looked around. He realized that this wasn't a village, but a civilian village. There was a wall around the village, but it wasn't tall. It was only as tall as a person. It was probably designed to defend against attacks from bandits and wolves.
Wooden houses, straw huts, roofs were all made of straw. The walls were made of wood and even vines. They were all old and low. The only room in the middle was slightly better. It looked like it belonged to the chief of the village.
At this point, a plan formed in his mind.
