A bright light revealed the figures of the group of thieves who were hiding not far away.
These bandits weren't very smart. Most of them were confused when they were suddenly exposed to the bright light. Many of them stared at the white light in the sky curiously.
The merchants were much smarter. Most of them narrowed their eyes and pulled out their weapons.
An old man shouted, ordering everyone to take out their bows and prepare for battle.
However, there were still some people who stared at Gao Zhengyang with a cautious expression. Daoist Liao was the same.
Compared to the ragged bandits, Gao Zhengyang's appearance was clearly different.
Gao Zhengyang took a few steps back, indicating that he wasn't hostile.
The leading Daoist said, "I am Li Yunzhi from the White Wind Temple. Thank you for your reminder. We are about to attack. Friend, please take a few steps back in case you get hurt. "
Gao Zhengyang smiled. These people were very cautious. That was normal. One had to be cautious when they were outside and in a desert like this.
Those who weren't cautious would have died long ago.
Gao Zhengyang took another step back. Since the other could handle it, there was no need for him to help.
Seeing that Gao Zhengyang was obedient, Li Yunzhi's expression relaxed a bit. He would rather face dozens of stupid and useless bandits than fight Gao Zhengyang, who was so mysterious and unfathomable.
"Shoot, kill them …" a white-haired old man shouted.
A white-haired old man shouted loudly. Seven or eight people held crossbows and continuously shot arrows.
Two of them were very accurate. One arrow would hit the enemy's vitals. Seven or eight archers shot arrows together. Soon, half of the bandits fell.
This kind of bow and arrow was powerful. A hundred steps was the most powerful range. As long as the bandits were hit, their bodies would be pierced.
The human body was fragile. Even if it wasn't a vital point, this kind of piercing injury was hard to bear. One by one, they lay on the ground and wailed.
The remaining bandits finally realized that the situation wasn't good. An ugly and tall bandit slashed an arrow away and shouted, "Damn it, attack or I'll eat you all!"
Daoist Li Yunzhi knew something was wrong. He shouted, "Be careful, it's a monster!"
Everyone in the caravan jumped in fright. They had been doing business for years and knew how terrifying demons were. The people who were chasing after him all stopped in their tracks.
At this time, the ugly man roared again. His body suddenly swelled up, and thick yellow hair quickly grew on his body.
Although the burly man was ugly, he still had the appearance of a human. After the transformation, his height was almost ten feet. It had a triangular head, a long beak that protruded forward, and a pair of green eyes. It looked like a rat's head.
Behind the burly man's buttocks was a ten-feet-long yellow tail. The thick and long tail was like a whip, swinging back and forth behind his buttocks. When it hit the ground, it would stir up a cloud of dust.
Everyone in the caravan had ugly expressions when they saw this. The ones standing in front hurriedly retreated.
Two of the archers were very calm. They shot arrows at the rat-headed man.
The rat-headed man stood there with his head held high. He did not dodge at all, allowing the arrows to hit his chest. The arrows shot by the heavy crossbow could penetrate iron armor, but when they landed on his body, they could not penetrate his skin and flesh, and were bounced off.
The people in the caravan were even more shocked. This monster was quite powerful.
The few people in the caravan looked at the two Daoists from the White Wind Temple.
Daoist Li Yunzhi also knew that he could not dodge, so he stood up and said, "Everyone, don't worry. I'll take care of him."
He took out a few talisman papers from his large sack and quickly chanted a few incantations. Then, he stuck the talisman papers on his sword.
A scarlet light flashed on the iron sword, and it became scarlet red. It was as if it had just been burned in an iron furnace.
The other Daoist did the same. The two Daoists held the scarlet red longsword, but they did not dare to act rashly.
The rat-headed man's small green eyes stared coldly at the two Daoists. He muttered, "Daoist, you only know how to draw talismans, but it's useless. There's no oil, and your meat is very dry! "
The burly man shouted at the surrounding bandits, "All of you, reveal your true forms and charge at them …"
Under the pressure of the burly man, the bandits all let out sharp screeches and transformed into abnormally ugly monsters. These monsters were probably rats. They all transformed into their true forms. They all had rat heads and human bodies, and their bodies were covered in gray fur.
Rats were ugly and frightening to begin with. When a person the size of an adult stood there, it was even more frightening. Moreover, these small demons were not only frightening in appearance, but after transforming, their strength and speed had also increased significantly.
Even the small demons that were shot by the arrows jumped up. The arrows hanging on their bodies were like decorations, and did not affect their movements at all.
However, the few heavily injured small demons could not do it. Although they managed to transform into their true forms, they could not stand up no matter how hard they tried. They could only roll around in the sand.
Gao Zhengyang watched from the side, and he was slightly surprised. At the beginning, he only felt that these people's auras were strange. They were very different from ordinary people, but he could not tell that they were demons.
The demons in this world were clearly quite powerful. Any ordinary demon that appeared out of nowhere had some ability.
"Mere rat demons dare to commit crimes? Die!"
Li Yunzhi shouted and pointed the magic sword in his hand forward. His companions also swung their longswords.
Two scarlet longswords suddenly turned into two long flames that shot out a hundred steps away.
The group of rat demons were caught off guard and were hit by the two flames.
The small rat demons' fur was burnt by the flames, and they turned into balls of fire. These small demons could not take it anymore. They screamed and fled in all directions.
Only the burly man in the lead stood still. A large patch of yellow fur on his body had been burnt off, but his magic power was much stronger than the small demons', and he actually managed to forcibly extinguish the flames on his body.
However, the small demons were all swept away by the flames, and they suffered heavy losses. This made the burly man extremely angry. He did not plunder the caravan for treasures, but also for blood and food.
So when he attacked, the burly man did not use his full strength. He was afraid that he would break the food, and it would be difficult to deal with it.
The vicious magic of the two Daoists from the White Wind Temple completely infuriated him. He no longer had any scruples.
He sneered and said, "You are courting death! “
The burly man stretched out his hands and opened his mouth to spit out a gust of black wind.
In an instant, a gust of wind blew, and countless dust and sand flew into the air.
The sand swept up by the gust of wind was as sharp as needles. If it landed on a person's body, it would leave a small wound. Moreover, the wind was getting stronger, and the power of the sand was also getting stronger.
"Iron Sand Devil … quickly dodge …"
Daoist Li Yunzhi immediately realized that something was wrong. He controlled the wind and sand. This was the legendary Iron Sand Devil divine ability.
When the wind and sand started, the people in the caravan could not take it anymore. Some of the smaller ones were directly blown away by the wind. Not to mention the thousands of needle-like sand in the wind, hitting everyone so hard that they could not even raise their heads.
Not many people heard Li Yunzhi's shout.
But the wind was getting stronger, and the power of the sand was getting stronger. Most of the people could only hide behind the camels and lie on the ground.
Soon, the camels could not take it anymore. They all screamed and jumped up, running everywhere.
The caravan was already in a mess, and no one could care about anyone else.
Li Yunzhi also could not do anything. His cultivation level was not bad, and he could stand firm. He also had spells to protect himself, so he could temporarily hold on.
Another Daoist, Hu Yunguang, said, "Junior Apprentice Brother, let's go. The Iron Sand Devil has cultivated for hundreds of years, and his power is profound. We can't beat him … "
Although Hu Yunguang was the Senior Apprentice Brother, his position in the White Wind Temple was far from Li Yunzhi's. At this time, he could not abandon Li Yunzhi and leave alone.
"We have been working with the caravan for many years, it is not good to abandon them."
Li Yunzhi was a little hesitant. The White Wind Temple was a small sect that relied on bodyguards to earn money. The caravan was their important source of income.
It was easy to abandon the caravan, but if they all died, it would be hard to explain to them when they returned.
Although the caravan of Flowing Wind City was only a loose alliance, and each caravan was independent, they communicated with each other. If the White Wind Temple abandoned the caravan and ran away, it would be hard for them to work with other caravans in the future.
"If we don't leave, we will die. Don't think too much at this time."
Hu Yunguang was older, and more cautious. He felt that he could not beat the Iron Sand Devil, so he gave up all hope and immediately ran for his life.
Li Yunzhi was still a little hesitant. He still had a few powerful talismans on hand, and he was thinking of giving it a try.
At this time, Gao Zhengyang suddenly appeared beside the two. "You two, do you need help?"
Li Yunzhi and Hu Yunguang were shocked. They did not know how Gao Zhengyang came over without a sound. They looked at Gao Zhengyang again. There was no spiritual light on his body, and they did not know how he resisted the Iron Sand Devil's sandstorm.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Hu Yunguang's face was full of hostility. He was just discussing with Li Yunzhi how to escape, and it would be bad if Gao Zhengyang heard it. Therefore, he instinctively hated the other party.
"Nothing much, I will help you deal with this demon."
Gao Zhengyang said: "You also have to help me do something."
Li Yunzhi was shocked at first, then happy: "As long as we can deal with the Iron Sand Devil, anything can be discussed."
"Don't be so full of yourself."
Gao Zhengyang laughed: "However, this demon is very annoying. It won't be too late to deal with it first."
"We can cooperate with you …" Li Yunzhi was very enthusiastic, and he was willing to cooperate with Gao Zhengyang to kill the demon.
"No need."
Gao Zhengyang casually pulled out the Guardian Deity Cleaver. "We'll be back soon."
This Guardian Deity Cleaver was obtained by Gao Zhengyang in the human world's Western Buddhist Temple. It was a tenth-grade divine weapon.
However, in Gao Zhengyang's collection, it was nothing. Gao Zhengyang occasionally changed his tastes and used a sword. He had no chance to use this blade.
The Guardian Deity Cleaver was very different from ordinary blades. It was four feet long, and its blade was as clear as autumn water. There was a dragon wrapped around the back of the blade, and the dragon's head was used as the handle.
Ordinary blades pursued sharpness, and the blade was as flat and thin as possible, so that it would be easier to cut through. The Guardian Deity Cleaver's design was gorgeous, but the dragon's protruding design on the back of the blade would seriously affect its ability to cut through.
The Guardian Deity Cleaver's design contained the benevolence of Buddhism, which meant that it shouldn't be completely annihilated.
However, the Guardian Deity Cleaver also had the intention of cutting through all techniques. It was peerlessly sharp, and it was the number one killing weapon of Buddhism. The dragon-shaped back and the sharp edge of the blade also reflected this contradictory meaning.
Gao Zhengyang didn't think too much about it. He just felt that the primitive world was rough and barbaric. Using a sword was too delicate, and using a blade was simpler and more direct.
Although the Guardian Deity Cleaver's level wasn't high, it didn't suffer many restrictions in this world. It was sturdy and sharp, but it wasn't too conspicuous. It was also suitable for Gao Zhengyang's current status.
The two Daoists from the White Wind Temple didn't think so. Although their knowledge was limited, they could at least see that the Guardian Deity Cleaver was extraordinary.
Li Yunzhi's eyes lit up, and he had more confidence in Gao Zhengyang. He said seriously, "Friend, don't be careless. The Iron Sand Demon has bones of steel, and it can shoot iron sand like arrows. It's also highly toxic. If you're not careful, you'll be hit. We have to work together to have a chance of winning against such a powerful demon … "
Before he could finish speaking, Gao Zhengyang had already charged into the gale in a flash.
Moving against the wind, Gao Zhengyang even felt a little pressured. This made him feel rather uncomfortable.
Mountains crumbled, the earth cracked, the sky collapsed, the sea collapsed, and the planet was destroyed. How could a mere sandstorm make him feel pressured?
"These are all inner Heavenly Demons. If you don't have a suitable way to deal with them, the inner Heavenly Demons will only become stronger and stronger."
Moon Breeze emerged from the Blood God Flag and reminded Gao Zhengyang earnestly, "When the inner Heavenly Demons dominate your seven emotions and six senses, you'll really become a mortal. When that time comes, any small knife will be able to kill you. "
"That sounds very powerful."
Gao Zhengyang said, "I'm also thinking of a way. But the Heavenly Demons are born from within, and they can't be killed easily."
As Gao Zhengyang and Moon Breeze conversed, he had already arrived in front of the Iron Sand Demon.
The Iron Sand Demon reacted very quickly. His green eyes stared at Gao Zhengyang, and he instinctively felt alarmed. This fellow is very scary!
The Iron Sand Demon had lived for hundreds of years. He looked crude, but his fighting skills were not bad. He realized that the situation was not good, and he immediately attacked with all his might.
His stomach bulged, and the highly toxic iron sand hidden in it was about to spew out.
This iron sand was carefully selected and refined by him, and its power was comparable to that of an artifact. Millions of iron sand shot out at once, and the power was quite terrifying.
For an ordinary caravan and two ordinary Taoists, there was no need for them to use their killer moves.
However, the Iron Sand Demon could see that Gao Zhengyang was not ordinary, and he knew that he could no longer hide it.
When the Iron Sand Demon roused his strength to activate his supernatural power, Gao Zhengyang's Guardian Deity Chop flew up against the wind. A bright light flashed, and the Iron Sand Demon's head flew up high.
That ugly rat head rolled in the wind countless times, and finally rolled very far in the sand, all the way to Li Yunzhi's feet.
Li Yunzhi was still shouting, "Hey friend, I'm coming!"
In the end, Li Yunzhi saw that there was something at his feet. With the help of his Spirit Eye, he could immediately tell that it was a huge and ugly rat demon's head.
Li Yunzhi immediately fell silent. Gao Hu Yunguang, who had wanted to stop him, also stared blankly at the head at his feet, speechless.
"Done, let's pack up."
Gao Zhengyang walked over, and said casually, "Now, we can talk business."
"Ah, uh, oh …"
Li Yunzhi came to his senses, and looked at Gao Zhengyang in shock.
This was an Iron Sand Demon, and they might not be able to hurt it even if they used all their strength. This person killed the Iron Sand Demon in the time it took to say a sentence. What was even more frightening was that the entire process was very calm, and there was no movement at all.
If he hadn't seen the Iron Sand Demon's head, Li Yunzhi wouldn't have believed that this powerful demon was already dead.
Gao Zhengyang wasn't anxious. He had seen this kind of shocked, dazed, and worshipful gaze too many times. But this was like money, one could never have too much of it.
"Sire, what do you need help with?"
Li Yunzhi took two deep breaths, and silently recited the Clear Heart Chant, before barely regaining his composure.
"I'm lost, and I need to follow the caravan for a while."
"That's easy. With an expert like you accompanying us, we can't ask for more."
Li Yunzhi readily agreed. This wasn't even a request.
Hu Yunguang, however, frowned slightly. He had seen how powerful Gao Zhengyang was, so he didn't dare to have any bad thoughts. But if Gao Zhengyang stayed, they wouldn't be able to falsely claim credit.
This was the Iron Sand Demon's head, and Flowing Wind City offered a thousand taels of silver as a reward. Money was only one aspect. More importantly, killing the Iron Sand Demon would immediately make one famous.
For a small sect like the White Wind Monastery, this kind of reputation was even more important than a thousand taels of silver.
Li Yunzhi was much purer than Hu Yunguang. He didn't have these thoughts at all, and was especially glad that Gao Zhengyang would stay.
Gao Zhengyang clearly saw through the two's thoughts. He said, "This Iron Sand Demon should be worth some money. I killed this demon, so the reward is mine. "
Since there was a human civilization in the Great Desolate World, money was a necessity. Gao Zhengyang was also afflicted with the Five Decrepit Deities, and his heart was filled with heavenly demons. He also needed money to settle his various material desires.
He actually had some gold and jewels in the Blood God Flag, but he had killed demons with his own abilities, so it was only right and proper for him to receive rewards.
Li Yunzhi naturally had no objections. This was a very reasonable request. He said, "Flowing Wind City has a reward of a thousand taels of silver, and the caravan will also give you a certain reward."
Hu Yunguang wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he didn't dare to say anything.
Gao Zhengyang smiled and said, "I only want money. I don't need anything else. If you want, I can sell this demon's head to you for two thousand taels. "
"What do we want it for?"
Li Yunzhi didn't have the slightest intention of buying it. He was about to refuse when he was pulled back by Hu Yunguang.
Hu Yunguang forced a smile at Gao Zhengyang. "Sire, let us discuss this."
Hu Yunguang pulled Li Yunzhi a few steps away and whispered in his ear, "Junior Martial Brother, if we take the Iron Sand Demon's head, we can answer to the caravan and become famous. It's worth two thousand taels of silver."
"This isn't too good."
Li Yunzhi was very hesitant. He couldn't accept this kind of method.
"What's not good about it? He's willing. We'll spend money to buy a reputation. Our sect hasn't been earning money for the past few years, and we can't support it anymore. We still don't have a reputation … "
Hu Yunguang knew what Li Yunzhi was worried about. "Think about Master, it's not easy for him! We can't miss this opportunity. "
"Alright, alright, but we don't have that much money."
"That's easy. We'll owe him for now. It won't be too late to pay him when we reach Flowing Wind City … "
Hu Yunguang said, "I think he's a decent person. We can take this opportunity to befriend him."
"Alright."
Li Yunzhi pondered for a while and was finally convinced by Hu Yunguang.
Li Yunzhi and Hu Yunguang found Gao Zhengyang together and confirmed this matter with a few words.
At this time, the wind gradually dissipated. The caravan also realized that something was wrong and gathered around.
Hu Yunguang was very thick-skinned. He held the Iron Sand Demon's head and showed it off. Li Yunzhi was very thin-skinned. He was too embarrassed to look at Hu Yunguang.
According to the discussion, Hu Yunguang said that they killed the Iron Sand Demon, but Gao Zhengyang also helped them. The caravan's attitude towards Gao Zhengyang became warmer.
After this ordeal, the caravan didn't lose anyone. Only a few were lightly injured. After resting for half a day, the caravan set off again.
Gao Zhengyang followed the caravan for twenty days before crossing the endless desert and arriving at Flowing Wind City.
In the middle of the yellow sand, Flowing Wind City, built with black rocks, was very conspicuous. However, behind Flowing Wind City, one could already see the undulating green mountain range.
Gao Zhengyang sized up Flowing Wind City. He always felt that this place had a deep and mysterious atmosphere. It was quite special.
When they entered Flowing Wind City, they saw that there were low and crude buildings everywhere. It looked quite messy and backward.
The caravan rested in a hotel. Everyone was laughing and chatting happily. After struggling for more than two months, they had finally returned to their destination. This kind of relief was irrepressible.
Li Yunzhi pulled Gao Zhengyang to drink while Hu Yunguang quietly went to a house.
The paper-covered windows made the room seem a little dark. Opposite Hu Yunguang sat a black-robed old man. There was a strange red mark between his eyebrows.
The black-robed old man's hair was almost all gone. His old eyes were gloomy. He looked very fierce as he sat there.
Hu Yunguang was very respectful towards the old man. However, as he spoke, he couldn't help but become excited. "Martial Uncle Black Wind, I dare to swear that that long saber is definitely an extremely powerful magic tool. If we can get it, we won't have to worry for the rest of our lives … "
