This group of people were definitely not ordinary mercenaries. While they were drinking and eating, they didn't speak a single word. Rather than saying that they were mercenaries, it would be better to say that they were regular soldiers with strict discipline. Furthermore, their gazes were not filled with the greed and arrogance of mercenaries, but with restraint and fortitude.
… …
At this moment, four people surrounded Lin Muyu. Li Jingci held a wine glass in one hand and a sword hilt in the other. He smiled and said, "Lord Ma Lin, you've drunk too much. Come, come, come, let us brothers send you on your way."
"Clang!"
Li Jingci held the sword hilt upside down and suddenly raised his hand to pull out the blade. The blade turned into a bolt of lightning and swept upwards towards Lin Muyu's side. At the same time, the surrounding four people also pulled out their swords and stabbed forward. This kind of tacit understanding wasn't something that ordinary mercenaries could have. One could imagine how many unguarded experts they had killed using this method!
However, Lin Muyu wasn't one of them. A golden light suddenly bloomed from Lin Muyu's body. The golden gourd walls came out of her body and protected her body. After a few "dang dang dang" sounds, the five longswords were all deflected. At the same time, Lin Muyu leaped up and opened her hand. Flames lingered around it as the Dragon Spirit Sword on the horse's back was quickly unsheathed!
"Pu!"
With the Imperial Sword Technique, the Dragon Spirit Sword pierced through a mercenary's abdomen. Lin Muyu's right hand controlled the Dragon Spirit Sword in the air while her left arm was surrounded by the True Dragon aura. With two "peng peng" sounds, the other two mercenaries were pushed back. Taking advantage of the fact that Li Jingci couldn't open his eyes due to the sunlight, she lifted her leg and gave him a heavy kick. Immediately, Li Jingci covered his abdomen and retreated with a face full of shock.
"Swoosh …"
The Demonic Noise Saber pierced through the air. Lin Muyu was multitasking. The invisible Demonic Noise Saber quickly attacked and killed several people. At the same time, she controlled the Dragon Spirit Sword to continue the slaughter. Her True Dragon arm also didn't stop attacking the surrounding mercenaries.
… …
"Kill him! Attack together! Use your bows and arrows! "Li Jingci shouted as he retreated.
However, the arrows were unable to kill Lin Muyu. The defensive ability of the golden gourd walls was extraordinarily tyrannical. Lin Muyu flew through the crowd like a whirlwind, her killing intent surging. In the blink of an eye, the Dragon Spirit Sword was already covered in blood, while the Demonic Noise Saber danced formlessly in the crowd. In the blink of an eye, the necks of several people wielding longbows were cut into pieces.
"Bang!"
A loud boom erupted from behind her. Li Jingci had unleashed an attack imbued with his scorching battle qi, and Lin Muyu shuddered involuntarily. At the same time, the walls of the gourd finally shattered, and the sharp arrows bounced off her suit of battle armor. Lin Muyu had killed over a dozen people in the blink of an eye, but she had also expended over half of her battle qi.
His suit of battle armor quickly dissipated, and he was at a huge disadvantage in a one-on-one battle.
"Puff, puff …"
In the instant that his battle armor had shattered, he had been struck by two arrows on his back. Even though the arrows had only pierced a few centimeters into his flesh through his suit of battle armor, it was still an excruciating pain that reduced his strength by at least 30%.
To catch bandits, first catch their leader!
Lin Muyu rushed toward Li Jingci and raised her hand to unleash a punch. Chaos of the Lives!
Lin Muyu's strength was already above Li Jingci's, and she also had the Seven Luminaries Profound Energy. She instantly shattered Li Jingci's sword, and the Dragon Spirit Sword swept past, slicing the battle axe that Li Jingci had just raised in half. Her punch still landed squarely on Li Jingci's chest, and the sound of ribs breaking could be heard clearly!
"Ugh …"
Li Jingci threw up a mouthful of blood, and there was no way he could struggle. Lin Muyu grabbed him with one hand, and she leaped onto a fine horse. She then slashed the reins and spurred the horse away.
Behind them, a group of mercenaries also mounted their horses and chased after them.
Lin Muyu put Li Jingci on the horse's back, turned around, and unleashed a Demonic Sound Fist. Immediately, a mercenary groaned and fell to the ground, killed on the spot.
In the end, Lin Muyu spun around three times, and three mercenaries with high cultivation bases were killed by the Demonic Sonic Fists imbued with battle energy. Li Jingci, who was on horseback, spat out a mouthful of blood as he shouted, "Stop chasing, let's hurry back to the Imperial Capital and report to the Special Envoy. The person who killed me is Lin Muyu!"
The group of mercenaries turned around and left without hesitation. Lin Muyu was also worried that they would chase after them, so she brought Li Jingci and ran for dozens of miles before stopping. She lifted him up and threw him under an ancient tree. She said coldly, "Tell me, who are you people?"
Li Jingci's mouth was full of blood, and he laughed loudly, "I actually didn't recognize that you were Lin Muyu, I admit it. But you want to get anything out of me? Dream on!"
Lin Muyu suddenly pressed the Dragon Spirit Sword against his neck, and said coldly, "Are you going to tell me or not?"
Li Jingci gritted his teeth and forcefully pushed his body forward. With a "pu" sound, the sharp Dragon Spirit Sword directly pierced through his throat.
Lin Muyu's eyes were indifferent. If he died, then he died. This kind of person's death was not to be regretted, but it was a pity that she didn't get anything out of him. She didn't know where these mercenaries came from. They looked like people from the army, but … who in the empire's army would make a move against an instructor from the Golden Star Temple? Could it be that this group of people were from the Divine Might Battalion?
It didn't seem like it. Most of the soldiers from the Divine Might Battalion used long blades, and they used the military blade technique passed down by Xiang Wentian — — Wind Blade Technique. But this group of people mostly used swords, and their sword techniques were very strange and tricky.
After searching Li Jingci's corpse, she didn't find anything. This group of people seemed to have done a very good job in keeping secrets. If it wasn't for the mind-reading ability of the Spirit Pulse Technique, she probably wouldn't even be able to find any clues.
She rested beside Li Jingci's corpse for a while, but she accidentally fell asleep. When Lin Muyu woke up, it was already dawn. It was another new day. After eating, she quickly galloped towards the Southern Forest. The Dragon's Tomb was getting closer and closer. In about a day, she would arrive there, but she didn't know what kind of things she would encounter.
… …
In the southwest direction of the Dragon Seeking Forest, the sound of hooves galloping could be heard.
Tang Bin led over 1,000 Seven Seas City soldiers and galloped forward. After being attacked by spirit beasts three more times, the number of people in Seven Seas City was greatly reduced, and there were less than 1,200 people left. Although Tang Bin was furious, there was nothing he could do. There were many powerful spirit beasts in the Dragon Seeking Forest, and if humans accidentally stepped into the territory of these spirit beasts, they would be attacked. After all, spirit beasts also understood the importance of territory. Those who dared to enter their territory were either enemies or food. There was no third possibility.
After Elder Jing died, Tang Bin had been deeply worried. While speeding up the march, he was also worried about what kind of spirit beasts they would encounter next.
And these Tang Sect soldiers who came from Seven Seas City were already exhausted. The appearance of spirit beasts made them exhausted. Moreover, they didn't know where Tang Xiaoxi was at all. This trip didn't seem like they were looking for someone, but more like they were looking for death in the Dragon Seeking Forest. This Dragon Seeking Forest probably hadn't been this lively for several hundred years. It was simply like a feast for the long-lived spirit beasts.
Not long after, a scout galloped over and said respectfully, "Young Master, we found a group of people in front of us. They came from Lanyan City."
"People from the Imperial Capital?"
Tang Bin raised his eyebrows, "Is it the Imperial Army or the Imperial Army?"
"Neither, it's the Divine Might Battalion's army. It seems that Divine Marquis Zeng Yifan is also among them."
"Zeng Yifan is here too?"
Tang Bin nodded and muttered, "Is Zeng Yifan here to find Xiao Xi or to kill Xiao Xi?"
The scout shook his head, "I don't know."
"How many people do they have?"
"About 400 people, not too many. They're already here. Young Master, we can't hide anymore."
"Is that so …"
Tang Bin waved his hand and said, "Everyone be on guard, prepare for battle!"
"Yes!"
The group of Tang Sect soldiers unsheathed their weapons one after another. Behind them, many people took out longbows from the backs of their horses. If this was a real battle, the cavalry might not be as useful as the archers. After all, this wasn't an open field, and the warhorses couldn't increase their speed to the speed of a charge. Moreover, it was inconvenient for them to move around, so it was better to abandon their horses and use bows instead. This group of people were the elites of the Tang Sect army. Naturally, they were very skilled in horsemanship, archery, and swordsmanship.
Not long after, a group of people slowly approached from afar. They were carrying the flag of the Divine Might Battalion, and Zeng Yifan was at the front of the group. He rode over on his horse and smiled, "I was wondering who it was. So it's the young master of the Tang Family!"
Tang Bin also smiled and said respectfully, "So it's the Marquis. I wonder … is the Divine Might Battalion also searching for Xiao Xi's whereabouts in the Dragon Forest?"
Zeng Yifan nodded, "The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox kidnapped Princess Xi. His Majesty is anxious, so he ordered me to lead the Divine Might Battalion into the Dragon Forest to search for Princess Xi. Young Master Tang Bin, please don't be impatient. Princess Xi is blessed by the heavens, so she'll definitely be fine."
Tang Bin smiled, "Thank you for your kind words, Marquis. Do you know where Xiao Xi is? Or … where did the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox kidnap Xiao Xi? "
Zeng Yifan stroked his beard and said, "Princess Xi once went to the dragon tomb in the south of the Dragon Seeking Forest with Her Highness Yin for an adventure. If I'm not mistaken … Princess Xi might be in the dragon tomb now."
"I see …"
Tang Bin frowned and said, "Then please lead the way, Marquis. We'll go to the Dragon Tomb together. At least we can look after each other."
"That's fine."
Zeng Yifan nodded, "If we stay together, we can better deal with the unknown spiritual beasts in the Dragon Forest. However, I've already lost a lot of troops, but Young Master still has more than a thousand troops. Why don't … Young Master clear the path in front?"
What a cunning old fox!
Tang Bin cursed in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't we do it this way. Let's go side by side. What do you think?"
"That's good too. Maybe we'll be able to find Princess Xi earlier this way."
"Mm."
…
Dragon-shaped Valley was a valley in the depths of the Dragon Seeking Forest. There were hunters in the valley who made a living by hunting small wild beasts. This place was filled with outstanding people and was surrounded by cliffs. Only a small path in the valley could lead people in and out of the valley, creating a beautiful scene of paradise. Even though this valley was located in the depths of the Dragon Seeking Forest, the hunters in the valley were safe and sound.
In a simple and crude courtyard, a rustling sound came from a fence made of bamboo branches. Clothes that were being hung to dry slid off the bamboo poles with a 'shua shua' sound. Inside the fence, a beautiful young girl was lying on the ground. Her skin was as white as snow and her figure was graceful. However, the nine slightly swaying fiery red tails behind her looked exceptionally bewitching. She quickly put on a long dress but unfortunately, the tails behind her were swaying unwillingly inside her clothes. This made her a little speechless and she could not help but smile faintly.
However, at this moment, a child about three or four years old stood outside and asked in a tender voice, "Excuse me, are you a thief? Why did you steal mother's clothes? "
The young girl stared at him in shock. Suddenly, she leaped out of the fence and disappeared into the forest after a few leaps.
