Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life
Chapter 54: Take Action, Meet Old Friends Again
In the carriage, Dongfang Huaizhu was no longer at peace. Born in Shenhuoshan Villa, she had always carried a lot of responsibilities on her shoulders.
As the eldest daughter of Shenhuoshan Villa, she was required to be the best in fire arts, magic, and knowledge.
This also made her develop a character that relies on herself in everything. During this trip, she heard that the guards planned to stay away for a few more days.
After all, the capital city is a prosperous place with pubs and entertainment venues everywhere. How can you not enjoy yourself when you come here so hard?
This is also the reason why Huaizhu sneaked out to buy medicinal herbs, and it was her choice that made him meet Chen Baoan.
A simple boy who came from a poor family but had a dream of becoming a bachelor.
This feeling of relying on others may not be bad.
"Miss, there are some bumps ahead, please be careful."
The guard said at the curtain.
"I see."
Huaizhu responded indifferently. She had no good feelings towards these guards who only knew how to have fun.
After all, my mother is seriously ill, and time is so precious.
Perhaps, after she returns, she should suggest to her father that he should thoroughly investigate the personalities of the disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa.
"Brother, are you sure you want to tie up that little guy?"
"Yes! The guards around her are all wearing the clothes of Shenhuoshan Villa. I guess the little devil in the carriage must be of high status!"
In a shadowy place, the thieves who had followed Lan showed up and looked at the guards wearing Shenhuoshan Villa clothes beside the carriage, with undisguised fear in their eyes.
"Stupid! The kid in there is of high status. You know, if we succeed in this deal, we will never lack money for the rest of our lives."
The leader scolded, and although his tone was firm, his trembling hands betrayed him.
"Damn it! I didn't expect it to be someone from Shenhuoshan Villa! Judging from the treatment of that kid, he must be the descendant of Dongfang Guyue, the owner of Shenhuoshan Villa. We can't afford to offend him, but..."
Risk and return are always opposites. Although he didn't know how much Dongfang Guyue could come up with to save his daughter, he understood that once they succeeded, they would be able to enjoy wealth and glory for the rest of their lives!
What? Being hunted by Shenhuoshan Villa? After doing this and living in hiding, how could Shenhuoshan Villa find him!
How to do?
Dry!
Or not?
...Let’s do it!
"Follow!"
He gave the order, and as they watched the carriage gradually move away, the six of them followed it on tiptoe.
After they all left, a man with his face covered by a cloak came to where they were and looked at their tiptoeing backs with cold eyes.
It seems that his combat EQ was not wrong, they were indeed targeting Dongfang Huaizhu.
This person was Lan. In his eyes, those six people were already six corpses.
He jumped onto the house again and moved around it. This way he had a good view but was also less likely to be discovered.
Outside the capital, there are many avenues with a few trees planted here and there, making it extremely difficult to hide.
But the robbers were not discovered at all. It seemed that they often did this kind of thing. Indeed, robbing foreign travelers involves much less risk.
Practice makes perfect, and they have also developed a strong ability to hide.
Of course, compared with Lan, it's nothing.
'Rumble'
The originally clear sky suddenly became overcast and thunder roared.
"It looks like it's going to rain."
The guard muttered to himself when he saw the weather.
At this moment, the carriage next to it moved unusually and stopped moving with a "click".
"what happened?"
Dongfang Huaizhu's voice came from the carriage, and he obviously felt the movement.
"No big deal, just a stuck wheel."
The guard nearby squatted down to take a look and discovered that a small stone was stuck, preventing the wheel from turning. There were many stones on this road, so the wheel must have been accidentally bounced up.
Just as the guard squatted and tried to take out the stone, an arrow came straight at him and hit him in the neck.
'Puff, puff'
Blood spurted out continuously, and the guard fell to the ground and died before he could even utter a sound.
"Hey!"
Seeing this, another guard quickly came to the guard at the end, saw the arrow on his neck, and immediately became alert.
'call out! ’
Another arrow came flying, and the guard became alert and immediately drew his sword to block it.
‘Clang! ’
The arrow bounced off, and he shouted out what the fallen guard failed to say.
"Enemy attack! Protect the young lady!"
The remaining two guards became alert upon hearing this and drew their swords from their scabbards in unison.
'咻咻'
Two arrows were shot out from the bushes again, but this time the opponent was alert, so the arrows were shot down one after another.
"Drink!"
Seeing that the arrows had no effect, the bandits chose to attack head-on.
A huge axe chopped down, and the guards quickly blocked it with their swords.
‘Clang! ’
How could an ordinary axe possibly resist against a magic weapon? Even the worst magic weapon was dozens of times stronger than the strongest weapon!
The guard quickly swung his sword to attack, but found that the big man holding the axe had retreated, and instead a petite man came forward.
The dagger shone with a cold light, and just as it was about to pierce the guard, a raging fire broke out.
Divine fire!
now!
The reason why Shenhuoshan Villa can stand on equal footing with Wangquan Villa is because of the pure yang flame known as the demon-killing divine fire!
Every disciple of Shenhuoshan Villa, in addition to practicing basic magic power and swordsmanship, also has to practice the art of controlling fire.
Because only the Eastern Spiritual Clan who possess Eastern Spiritual Blood can produce Pure Yangyan, but not only the Eastern Spiritual Clan can use Pure Yangyan.
Dongfang Gu Yue had come up with some method to allow the disciples of the Dongfang family to carry pure Yangyan at any time so that they could use it in battles outside.
As soon as the divine fire appeared, smiles appeared on the guards' faces. There was no trouble that could not be solved by the pure Yangyan. And this time Dongfang Huaizhu was there, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough divine fire.
The moment the blazing flames appeared, the big man and the petite man quickly retreated.
They have not yet overestimated their abilities to the point of being sure that they can gain an advantage over the Pure Sunfire users.
And their goal was not originally to kill those guards.
Seeing that the two men did not look panicked, the guards immediately realized something was wrong.
"Not good! Miss!"
It was this moment of awareness that lowered his vigilance, and an arrow shot out and hit his neck.
Just like the guard, blood gushed out like a fountain and he soon died after falling to the ground.
The sparse woods provided perfect cover for the archers.
As the saying goes, it is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. The six-man bandit group cooperated closely, with four of them holding back the three guards, and one of them kidnapped Dongfang Huaizhu.
Even the monks with cultivation were caught off guard. The power of an ant can shake a tree.
However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. No matter how smart they are, they cannot change the fact that they are the prey.
From Lan's perspective, he could clearly see the archer hiding in the tree. Just as he drew his bow to launch another sneak attack, Lan quickly gathered his sword into a dagger and threw it out.
'Shuh! '
The dagger cut through the bowstring.
When the man was wondering why his bowstring broke, he turned around and saw the dagger nailed to the tree, and immediately realized that someone was attacking him.
Just as he turned around and was about to jump off the tree, he happened to meet Lan's cold eyes.
"you……"
'Shuh! '
The archer wanted to speak again, but he could no longer feel his vocal cords, and then he saw his headless body.
‘Wow~’
It was pouring rain, and the remaining two guards guarded the carriage tightly to prevent the robbers from taking Dongfang Huaizhu away.
Although Dongfang Huaizhu was confused in the carriage, he still had a rough idea of what was going on from the noise coming from outside.
Bandits were rampant, and it was natural that he was targeted as he was just strolling in the market in gorgeous clothes.
"How dare you attack the people of Shenhuoshan Manor? The owner will make you pay the price!"
A guard warned, but his trembling pupils made the words not intimidating at all.
"Hmph! Go ahead!"
The leader gave the order. It was no wonder that they were desperate criminals. Now they still attacked and killed two disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa.
The situation with Shenhuoshan Villa has long been a life-and-death situation, so there is no need to be afraid of the so-called threats.
At his order, four thieves rushed forward. He came to the carriage, pulled open the curtain, and was about to see if Huaizhu was there when he was greeted by a ball of fire.
In the critical moment, Huaizhu showed strong psychological quality and burned the leader's eyes blind. After being burned by the pure Yangyan, he will never be able to see again in this life.
"Damn little devil! Pfft~"
Just as the leader was still cursing Dongfang Huaizhu, his heart was pierced by a sharp blade and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He fell to the ground in an instant, with no trace of a person, only the water flowing around him.
Huaizhu heard the sound of someone falling to the ground, and pulled open the curtain with suspicion, only to find that outside, in the pouring rain, the leader was lying on the ground with a pierced heart.
There was also a sound coming from the front of the carriage.
“Who are you! Aa ...
"Damn it! Poof~"
……
Countless miserable screams were heard, and judging from the voices, they were not from the disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa, but from those robbers.
"Thank you for saving my life!"
"I don't know your name."
These are the voices of the disciples of Shenhuoshan Villa. Judging from their voices, they are thanking someone, and that person should be the one who killed the leader.
‘Crack’
The curtain was opened, revealing the two surviving guards. However, there was no human figure behind them, only... ripples in the accumulated water below.
. . . . . .
After five days of trekking, Dongfang Huaizhu returned to Shenhuoshan Villa in time and handed over the medicinal materials to Dongfang Guyue.
He was seen boiling the medicine non-stop, then came to Luo Yinyue, helped her up, and fed her mouthful by mouthful.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. On the roof of Shenhuoshan Villa, there was a black figure standing. Its face could not be seen clearly, but its eyes were bright and a little sad.
He looked through the window paper and saw that Luo Yinyue, who was drinking medicine, was thin, looked different from before, and had a sick face.
Dongfang Gu Yue, who fed her the medicine, also had white hair and his back looked a little desolate.
