Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 87: Witch!

On the other side, a group of gray-robed men were also heading towards the direction marked on the treasure map.

They chose a relatively flat valley.

The valley is deep, and the mountain walls on both sides are steep and dangerous, blocking out the sky and giving people a feeling of oppression.

"Be careful, I feel there is something dangerous hidden in this valley." The white-bearded old man said slowly, leaning on his crutch.

The man in gray nodded; he felt the same way.

He always felt that there were eyes secretly watching them in this valley.

Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded, like thunder, echoing in the valley.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake.

"Oh no! There's a monster!" Duan De exclaimed, his face turning pale in an instant.

Suddenly, a gigantic monster slowly emerged from the depths of the valley.

It was a monster that looked like a tiger, but had a ferocious dragon head, was covered with hard scales, and exuded a terrifying aura!

"Roar!" The monster roared towards the sky, the sound shaking the whole area and making people's eardrums hurt.

Its eyes were like two blood-red lanterns, staring at the gray-robed group, full of bloodthirstiness and cruelty.

"It's...it's the dragon-tiger beast!" Duan De said in a trembling voice.

The dragon-tiger beast is a powerful monster whose strength is comparable to that of a human cultivator at the third level of the immortal realm!
The merchant was also pale. Although he was also a cultivator, his strength was very average and he was no match for the dragon-tiger beast.

The white-bearded old man looked calm, as if he had expected it.

He just sighed softly and slowly raised the cane in his hand.

The man in gray robe stood there silently, motionless, like a sculpture.

His eyes are deep and mysterious, making it impossible to see through his heart.

"Roar!" The dragon-tiger beast roared again, and then suddenly pounced towards the gray-robed man and his group.

It was extremely fast, like lightning, and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"It's over! I'm dead now!" Duan De closed his eyes in despair.

However, just as the dragon-tiger beast was about to pounce on everyone, the white-bearded old man suddenly moved.

He gently waved the cane in his hand, and a soft light emanated from it, instantly enveloping the dragon-tiger beast.

The dragon-tiger beast let out a painful wail, its body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

"This...how is this possible?" Duan De widened his eyes and looked at the white-bearded old man in disbelief.

The white-bearded old man had a calm expression. He slowly put away his cane and said calmly, "Let's go. We still have to hurry."

The gray-robed man looked deeply at the white-bearded old man, then turned and walked towards the depths of the valley without saying anything.

The merchant and Duan De hurried to catch up, their hearts filled with confusion and shock, but they did not dare to ask more questions.

On the other side, Xiao Chen and others gradually figured out the red-robed woman's moves and routines during the battle with her.

Although the red-robed woman is powerful, her moves are relatively simple and lack variety.

The big black dog also cleverly used the magic circle to restrict the movements of the red-robed woman.

Although the magic circle it set up was not very powerful, it could effectively interfere with the actions of the red-robed woman, slowing her down and making her movements sluggish.

Xiao Chen and the Saint of Yao Chi cooperated well, one as the main attacker and the other as the auxiliary, and gradually gained the upper hand.

"Damn it! You guys!" The red-robed woman roared angrily. She didn't expect that she would be forced to this point by a few juniors.

"It seems that today is the day you die!" Xiao Chen said coldly, clenching his fists, ready to give the red-robed woman the final blow.

However, just when Xiao Chen and others thought they could repel the red-robed woman, she suddenly bit her tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the bloody scimitar in her hand.

In an instant, the scimitar's red light surged, as if it had been reborn from a bloodbath, emitting a suffocating evil aura.

"Blood Sacrifice! Explode!"

The red-robed woman screamed at the top of her lungs, waving her scimitar wildly with both hands. Blood-red blade beams flew towards Xiao Chen and the others as if they were free of charge.

Wherever the blade passed, the grass and trees withered instantly, leaving dark cracks on the ground, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

This is not a sword light, it is clearly a death warrant!

Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly shrank. He could feel the terrifying power contained in the blood-colored blade light, which far exceeded the previous attack!
He didn't dare to take it head-on, so he quickly used the Xiaoyao Step and dodged like a ghost.

The face of the Saint Maiden of Yao Chi also became solemn. The jade flute in her hand made an even clearer sound. The sound waves were like substance, trying to block the attack of the blood-colored sword light.

However, the power of the scimitar increased greatly after the blood sacrifice, and the sound waves were actually torn apart by the blood-colored blade light!
"Puff!" Jiang Huairen was slightly weaker and could not dodge in time, and was hit on the shoulder by a blood-red blade. Blood gushed out immediately, and his body flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. His life or death was unknown.

"Huairen!" Xiao Chen's eyes were bloodshot and he roared in grief and anger.

He raised his head suddenly, staring at the red-robed woman with his scarlet eyes, and said through gritted teeth, "You deserve to die!"

The red-robed woman sneered, licked her scarlet lips, and said ruthlessly, "Little fellow, you are quite arrogant. You think you can kill me?"

The blood-red scimitar danced in her hand, creating a blood-red light curtain, like an invitation to hell, emitting a heart-pounding breath of death.

Xiao Chen stopped talking nonsense. The long sword in his hand hummed and lightning flashed on the sword.

He used strange acrobatic techniques, his figure was as erratic as a ghost, and he approached the red-robed woman in an instant. The sharp sword energy tore through the air, making bursts of shrill screams.

Upon seeing this, the Saintess of Yao Chi raised her jade hand slightly, and holy white light wrapped around Xiao Chen like a ribbon, giving him a layer of sacred shield and purifying the bloody aura that permeated the surroundings.

Her eyes were bright as water, and her cold face showed a hint of worry, but more of determination.

She knew that at this moment, only by fighting side by side with Xiao Chen could they overcome the difficulties.

The red-robed woman's blood-red scimitar collided with Xiao Chen's sword again and again, making a sharp sound of metal clashing and sparks flying.

Every collision seems like a battle between death and life, suffocating.

During the battle, Xiao Chen gradually found the flaws in the red-robed woman's evil magic.

Although her attack was fierce, it relied too much on the bloody evil energy, and the spiritual power of the Saint of Yao Chi could just restrain this evil force.

He seized the opportunity and suddenly changed the momentum of his sword. Instead of a head-on collision, he used his nimble body to dodge attacks and wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Is that all you can do?" The red-robed woman sneered, and her blood-red scimitar cut through the air, leaving behind a trail of blood-red afterimages, blocking all of Xiao Chen's escape routes.

Xiao Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.

Just as the blood-red blade light was about to touch his body, his body suddenly stopped, and a powerful sword intent burst out from his body, like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, unstoppable!
"Break!" Xiao Chen shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand shone brightly. A dazzling sword light cut through the blood-colored light curtain and went straight for the throat of the red-robed woman.

The red-robed woman's expression changed drastically. She hadn't expected Xiao Chen to conceal his true strength. The power he unleashed was far beyond her expectations. In her panic, she could only barely block with her scimitar.

"Dang!" With a loud noise, the scimitar in the red-robed woman's hand broke, and the sword light continued to move forward, leaving a deep blood mark on her neck.

The red-robed woman screamed, covered her neck and took several steps back. She never thought that she would be defeated by an unknown boy.

At the same time, on the other side of the valley, the gray-robed man and his group also engaged in a fierce battle with the monster that suddenly appeared.

The white-bearded old man had an immortal air, and every move he made carried a powerful force.

He waved the whisk in his hand, like a silver dragon flying in the air, repelling the ferocious monsters one after another.

The man in gray robe seemed a little mysterious. He had strange movements and was always able to avoid the attacks of monsters at critical moments and wait for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

The dagger in his hand was extremely sharp, and every attack could accurately hit the monster's vital points.

With the joint efforts of everyone, the monsters were finally all eliminated.

They were overjoyed to find a part of the treasure map in the monster's lair.

After the two groups joined together, they pieced the treasure map fragments together.

Although it has not been fully synthesized, the general direction can be seen, pointing to a mysterious ancient relic.

"Great! We finally found it!" Duan De danced with excitement, his eyes flashing with greed.

However, just as everyone was immersed in joy, a group of men in black suddenly fell from the sky and surrounded them.

These men in black were wearing black robes and black masks, so their faces could not be seen clearly, but from the cold aura emanating from them, it could be judged that they were definitely not good people.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chen asked warily.

The leading man in black laughed coldly: "We are here to take your lives!"

Before he could finish his words, the men in black attacked everyone fiercely.

Xiao Chen and the others immediately realized that a new crisis had arrived...

"Someone doesn't want us to leave here alive..." The big black dog licked his paw and said softly.

Xiao Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, and the air was filled with a suffocating murderous atmosphere.

This group of men in black were well-trained and moved as swiftly as ghosts. The flashes of swords and shadows of sabers intertwined into a web of death that trapped them tightly.

"Hmph, some cowardly rats again!" The big black dog bared its teeth and growled, its hair standing on end. It could smell the strong smell of blood and evil from these men in black.

Jiang Huairen tightly gripped the spear in his hand, his eyes determined, and stood in front of Xiao Chen without fear.

The Saint Maiden of Yao Chi had a solemn expression on her face, with a faint white light emanating from her jade hands, ready to strike at any moment.

The white-bearded old man stroked his beard, and the gray-robed man remained silent, just holding the dagger tightly in his hand, as if waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

Duan De was already frightened to the point of turning pale, and he was hiding behind everyone, trembling in fear.

"Leave the treasure map behind and I will spare your lives!" The leading man in black laughed a creepy laugh, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if it came from the depths of hell.

"If you want the treasure map, it depends on whether you have the ability!" Xiao Chen sneered, spiritual power surged in his body, and his fighting spirit was high.

He knew that this battle was unavoidable no matter what.

He didn't know whether he could resolve the danger again, nor did he know how many secrets were hidden behind this treasure map. The road ahead was confusing, and everyone could only bite the bullet and prepare to face this new challenge.

"Kill!" The men in black stopped talking nonsense and rushed towards Xiao Chen and others, waving their weapons.

"Be careful!" Yao Chi Saint Maiden exclaimed and quickly took action to resist.

A fierce fight broke out in an instant, with swords flashing, blood and flesh flying everywhere, screams and the sound of weapons clashing intertwined, forming a melody of death.

The big black dog leaped forward, waving its sharp claws and instantly tore several men in black into pieces.

Jiang Huairen brandished his spear bravely and fearlessly, like a god of war, blocking wave after wave of attacks from the man in black.

However, the men in black were numerous and powerful, and Xiao Chen and others gradually felt the pressure doubled.

The white-bearded old man and the gray-robed man also joined the battle, but the situation was still not optimistic.

"We can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death!" Xiao Chen frowned, feeling extremely anxious.

He had to come up with a solution as soon as possible, otherwise, all of them would die here.

Suddenly, he felt a cold murderous intent locking onto him.

He looked up suddenly and saw the leading man in black holding a black dagger, walking slowly towards him.

"Boy, I'll take your life!" The man in black laughed coldly. He flashed and appeared in front of Xiao Chen like a ghost, the dagger in his hand going straight for his throat...

Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile: "Really? Then we'll see if you have the ability..."

The black-robed envoy's sinister laughter came to an abrupt halt. His eyes, as cold as a venomous snake, fixed on Xiao Chen, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

He could feel that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person!
But so what?

A fierce look flashed in the eyes of the black-robed envoy. He had a mission to accomplish and any obstacles must be removed!

The black dagger in his hand was filled with deadly poison, which could kill instantly with one blow!

"die!"

The black-robed envoy growled and approached like a ghost, aiming the dagger straight at Xiao Chen's throat.

The speed is so fast that it is almost impossible to react.

"clang!"

There was a crisp sound of metal collision, and sparks flew everywhere.

Xiao Chen didn't know when an ancient long sword appeared in his hand, which barely blocked the fatal blow of the black-robed messenger.

"That's a good reaction!" The black-robed envoy said with a hint of surprise, his tone filled with sarcasm. "However, how many more attacks can you block?"

Xiao Chen didn't say anything, but his eyes grew colder.

He could feel that the black-robed messenger was far more powerful than him.

If it was a one-on-one fight, he might have a chance of winning, but now, he had to protect his companions behind him!
"Dahei, set up the formation!" Xiao Chen shouted softly, and the long sword in his hand danced, turning into sharp sword lights, blocking all the attacks of the black-robed messenger.

The big black dog was already ready to go, and immediately took action after hearing Xiao Chen's order.

Its claws flew, and mysterious runes flew out from under its claws, fell to the ground, and instantly formed a huge magic circle.

The magic circle flickered, and a powerful energy wave spread out, enveloping Xiao Chen and others.
