Chapter 276: Damn You, Zhu Laosan, You Must Be A Traitor!?
At first, in Li Yanchu’s eyes, those five broad-shouldered, saber-wielding retainers were nothing more than martial experts skilled in combined battle formations. Against demons and fiends, they would surely be at a disadvantage.
But to his surprise, they could survive a pierced heart, their wounds knitting themselves back together in moments. That was something Li Yanchu had not expected.
The hulking, dim-witted brute of a man was immensely strong. His skin was tougher than fine steel, and he commanded the Black Wind Method; one breath of it left men dazed and stupefied. He was a formidable opponent indeed.
Yet the treasured sword in Lu Ying’s hand radiated righteous qi, and her swordsmanship was sharp beyond measure.
After several exchanges, it was the hulking brute instead who was stabbed several times, blood pouring from his wounds.
Pfft!
He suddenly opened his mouth wide, spewing forth a choking gale of black wind. Then, using the moment while Lu Ying fended it off, he turned and vanished into the storm outside. He had arrived with thunderous momentum and departed just as swiftly and cleanly, without hesitation.
That left the Beaked Daoist bearing the full weight of the fight.
Lu Ying arched her brow and declined to give chase, and she instead locked her killing intent firmly on the Daoist.
Clang!
Her sword thrust forward, and by the time the sound rang out, half a chi of sword-light was already driving straight for the Beaked Daoist’s chest. A stabbing pain shot through him, and his expression changed drastically. Scarlet light flared across his body, barely deflecting the strike.
He then spun and fled.
