Chapter 91 – Spear

With the most polite and courteous tone, he said the most sarcastic words.

There was a "puchi" sound behind Wei Yuan, followed by a difficult suppressed laughter. Hu Mei, who had the most cheerful personality, held the cup of milk tea and couldn't help but laugh, his face turning red. Su Yu'er felt something was wrong and thought that no matter how she answered, it would consume her luck.

The face of the fox spirit in front froze for a moment, and then she didn't even have time to be shocked and angry.

Suddenly, she felt a chilling coldness in her body.

Then, in horror, she saw a dark and gloomy aura unfold behind the seemingly ordinary young man. It was an invisible luck, but the scale was not noble purple, but a dark and overwhelming mass, vast and majestic, continuously approaching, making her feel breathless.

Wei Yuan took a step forward with his sword, the blade against the ground, and said:

"I think you are also a monster."

In the black clouds, there seemed to be faint figures walking, and faintly fluttering flags.

The fox woman's heart trembled.

Even if it was just a battle in the wilderness, the monster who despised the civilization of the human race suddenly thought of a poem.

The black clouds press down on the city, and the city is about to collapse.

An invisible tiger slowly took a step.

Immediately after the end of that sentence, it suddenly roared and pounced towards the fox woman. The fox woman's face turned pale, and in panic, she instinctively turned her head and tried to escape. She had just seen that the tiger had pounced out from something in the young man's arms, which was a token.

Tiger talisman, military.

The fox woman was hit by the tiger's attack and fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Suddenly, she regretted it.

She just wanted Wei Yuan to answer once.

Whether he answered like a human or not, it would consume the other party's luck. If he said he was like a human, then she would benefit again. If he said he was not like a human, she wouldn't lose. There were various kinds of luck on her body, which affected her cultivation. Taking this opportunity, she could consume some luck to offset the backlash of not being able to get Wei Yuan's answer. It was a shrewd deal that she wouldn't lose no matter what.

But who knew she would encounter a military expert.

Asking for an answer was a clever way, but it was most afraid of encountering the aura of a military expert. Since ancient times, there had never been a good ending for a monster who asked for an answer from a military general.

In an instant, the luck she had accumulated for hundreds of years collapsed and scattered.

Like the common people before the army's sharp edge.

Then it was her cultivation, which was like a pool that had been filled for three hundred years, nurturing a lotus flower. It was carefully cultivated and about to bloom. But now, she felt as if the pool had been smashed to pieces and the lotus flower had been torn apart, even the roots, stems, and leaves were torn to pieces.

Three hundred years of cultivation almost dissipated in an instant.

The fox woman fell to the ground, trembling and curling up.

Her originally slender palms turned into claws, and her slender body shrank to less than half its original size.

Long yellow hair grew on her body, her beautiful oval face stretched out, and finally turned into a fox face, constantly spitting blood. The anomaly could only be vaguely seen by the fox herself who asked for an answer. Others couldn't know. Su Yu'er was shocked and then looked at Wei Yuan. For some reason, she faintly felt familiar with the fox woman's miserable state.

Wei Yuan thought for a moment and said:

"Probably because she practices evil methods and has too much and too mixed luck on her body."

"As a result, she suffered backlash beyond her limit."

The fox woman almost vomited blood in anger.

With her thoughts, she could bear the luck of ten people. She was mad and frightened, gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Come out and kill them! Kill them all!"

Several figures suddenly flew out from the woods.

Then they rushed towards the three girls behind Wei Yuan. The cunning fox was not willing to let go of any advantage. Wei Yuan immediately understood that with the cultivation of this fox demon, it was impossible for her to attack him alone. She deliberately revealed some clues, obviously to lure him into a trap. Not only did she poison him, but she also hid ambushes in the forest. She was indeed cunning.

The sword in his hand swung, and the sword energy was like frost.

But with a crisp sound, the several black shadows that pounced were immediately repelled. In mid-air, their figures became clear. One was a two-meter-tall gray rat, with its fur standing up like steel needles. Another one was a black wolf with sharp claws, but also held two daggers in its hands.

They were called daggers, but with their large size, they were equivalent to ordinary long swords.

The last one was a mantis demon.

He held six knives in his hands, rolling towards Wei Yuan like a snowball.

Wei Yuan's Eight-Faced Han Sword clashed into the group of knives. With just one sword, it was almost impossible to defend against the six knives. The mantis demon used all his skills, but he couldn't get close, let alone hurt the three Qingqiu fox girls behind him. But at this moment, the wolf demon and the rat spirit also attacked.

Su Yu'er and the other two girls were injured. Even if they reluctantly joined the battle, they would only cause chaos.

Wei Yuan gradually felt the pressure.

It wasn't the pressure of swordsmanship.

His swordsmanship was truly honed. If these three monsters surrounded and attacked him alone, it would be impossible for them to hurt him. Within three feet of the sword's edge, whoever came would die. But at this moment, Wei Yuan had to protect the three girls behind him. His swordsmanship was exquisite, but the sword blade was only three feet long, which was slightly insufficient.

Suddenly,

The ground bulged up into a pit.

Then a figure directly sprang out of the ground and attacked Su Yu'er and the other two.

It was a short man transformed from a mole, and he was extremely skilled in burrowing.The three women struggled to draw their protective ring blades, trying to resist the monster. However, they were not strong enough, and a sword light tore through diagonally, forcing the ground rat to retreat. But he didn't seem to care, just smirked and licked his short sword.

There was a small trace of blood on the sword.

Hu Mei stared blankly at the prefect in front of her.

The clothes on his shoulder had been torn open, and blood was flowing.

If Wei Yuan hadn't suddenly turned around to help just now, they would have been seriously injured.

The four monsters surrounded Wei Yuan and his companions from four different directions. Wei Yuan reached out and pressed a few acupoints near the wound, infused it with mana, and wrapped the wound in a layer. It was just a wound, not serious. Even though he was not good at healing, he could handle it.

However, the stimulation of the blood gave him an indescribable feeling.

After sixty battles on the battlefield, sometimes he wondered if he had really experienced that battle.

"Hoo..."

He shook his shoulder and took a deep breath. The battlefield killing intent hidden by the stimulation of blood was not painful, but it gave him a strange sense of comfort and pleasure. After thinking for a moment, he resheathed the sword with a clang, inserted it into the ground, and kicked a tree with his foot. The tree, which was only three or five years old, fell down, but Wei Yuan caught it with his hand.

The wolf spirit looked surprised, then smiled knowingly and said, "Do you think your weapon is too short?"

"But even without a sword, I can guarantee that you will die even faster."

The man transformed from the ground rat stared at Wei Yuan, but for some reason, he felt a strong fear and regret. He had clearly left a wound on his opponent just now, but now he himself felt a strong bloody aura from the man's body.

He felt a sense of fear and regret that he couldn't explain.

The wolf spirit, the ground rat spirit, and the mantis spirit glanced at each other, then pounced towards the young man holding the tree.

Suddenly, the man grabbed the tree trunk and swung it.

Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

The tree split open from the inside, and the broken wood flew like splashing rocks. The mantis spirit waved six knives, creating a curtain of blades that shattered the flying wood. Then, he saw that the man in his hand had turned the tree into a long spear.

His heart sank.

The mantis spirit retreated in panic.

The spear struck fiercely in the air, with an indescribable momentum. It sent the wolf spirit and the ground rat spirit flying. The four monsters were uncertain. If the young man who had just held the sword was a formidable beast, then now he had lost that sharpness and replaced it with an indescribable calmness.

The tip of the spear in Wei Yuan's hand was against the ground.

He exhaled and narrowed his eyes.

Then he frowned.

Something was not right.

He had witnessed the slaughter of the Overlord and even fought against him. Naturally, he was familiar with the Overlord's spear technique. But just now, he had imitated it, but it never felt right.

He thought for a moment, holding the spear with his left hand and gripping the shaft with his right hand.

He took a strange stance.

Su Yu'er was surprised and quietly explained to the two women next to her. Most of the unarmed martial arts in Shen Zhou were derived from spear techniques. This was the horse stance, a basic training method for internal strength and the foundation of all martial arts. However, there were few warriors who had to use the horse stance in battle because it was not flexible enough. They had their own fighting stances.

Su Yu'er, with her high status in the entire Qingqiu Fox Clan, did not doubt it. She just whispered, "Does this mean that Wei Yuan is better at fighting with the horse stance?"

Su Yu'er couldn't help but want to shake her head.

How could there be warriors who fought using the horse stance in this world? The horse stance was the most basic training method. There were two prototypes, one was the anti-cavalry stance used in spear battles against cavalry, and the other was the ancient general's horseback spear technique. It was more believable to say that he was good at horseback combat than being good at the horse stance.

Her thoughts paused for a moment.

Good at horseback combat?

Su Yu'er looked at Wei Yuan, who was constantly adjusting his posture, as if he was really riding a horse. Suddenly, she felt that she seemed to have missed something. It seemed that there was a record in the ancient books about the backlash of a monster who had been sealed and had his cultivation destroyed. When he left the Qingqiu Fox Country, the Qingqiu guardian seemed to have said something to Wei Yuan, but what was it...

Why didn't she pay attention to listen before?

And Wei Yuan's horse stance was not enough.

Until he adjusted his state, his body slightly fluctuated with his breath and the flow of qi and blood, as if he was really riding a horse.

Vaguely, he felt the insight he had gained when facing the Overlord and the intense hostility from the Overlord.

Only then did his brows slowly relax.

That's right.

The prefect raised his head, released his grip on the spear with his right hand, raised his hand, made a fist, and pointed his thumb downward.

He made a provocative gesture towards the several monsters.

.................

In the distant mountains and rivers, a woman in a red dress quietly watched the distance.

In the box beside her, there was a slight trembling sound. She opened the box, and on the soft golden silk cloth inside, there was an ancient spearhead. The blade had fine patterns on it, and even though it was well protected and polished to a bright shine, it still emitted an unmistakable, strong smell of blood. At this moment, it kept buzzing, as if it wanted to jump out of the box and continue to fight.

The woman caressed the spear and said in surprise, "Killing intent... You sense the Overlord's killing intent?"

"But he hasn't come back yet, so is it his former enemy and opponent?"

The blade of the spear hummed.

"Is that so? Do you want to continue fighting?"

The woman caressed the blade of the gun and said, "It has been so long since that era has passed. Our loved ones are no longer in this world. The hatred that I once thought I couldn't let go of has also faded away after two thousand years. Even if the debt is still there, I can only wish to have a drink with my former loved ones. The river still flows, and our loved ones are still here. He would have liked it very much."

The woman put the gun back into the box and said softly, "Let's go."

"It has been decades since we last set foot in the mortal realm."

"Let's go and see which loved one it is..."
