Chapter 117: Chapter 101 The Divine Tiger Token Suddenly Appears_2

The young man with narrow eyes beside him immediately lowered his head to conceal the resentment in his eyes.

Old Fourth You did not notice, as he held the Token and pinched the spell, while his feet stepped in Astral Step, chanting, "Nuogao, with the Three Stars on the left and Three Prisons on the right, the world upside down, all nine paths are blocked, causing you to lose your mind, treat east as west and south as north..."

Li Yan approached the bandits, using the dense fog as cover. Hearing this incantation, he was momentarily stunned.

Isn’t this the Thousand Gold Protection Spell?

Before he could think further, a surge of Divine Astral rose within the fog.

It felt like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, with all beasts lying low, as the Yin God’s weapon soul was shaken. Accompanied by the Yin Wind, it swiftly retreated, all falling into the Divine Statue.

Wang Daoxuan, however, was unfortunate, suffering the same mental injury. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood but gritted his teeth and quickly took out a red rope, wrapping it left and right around the Divine Statue.

This breaking of the driving force was not as simple as a mere retreat. Especially with the ferocious weapon soul, a moment’s carelessness could lead to a counter-attack, breaking the altar and causing misfortune to everyone around.

After finishing this, Wang Daoxuan closed his eyes and fainted.

"Daoist!"

Sha Lifei, startled, quickly helped him up.

...

On the other side, near the ambushed bandits, the white mist also completely dispersed.

"Hahaha!"

Bai Yanhu laughed aloud, "Mr. You, well done!"

At this moment, his strategy of hidden arrows had already failed, and he was not bothered to conceal it any longer. His eyes flared with a fierce light as he shouted, "Boys, Fire Green Ones to call out, herd the sheep!"

"Kill! Kill!"

The bandits had long been pent up.

Though their leader was good at many things, his one bad habit was to emulate famous generals, always using schemes in everything.

Those who turned to banditry had renounced restraint; the army’s routines were utterly restrictive for them. Nothing compared to the direct thrill of a charge.

If one was to kill, fire was indispensable.

The so-called Fire Green Ones were fire arrows.

The bandits lit torches one by one, bent their bows, and attached arrows. After igniting the arrowheads on the torches, they shot obliquely into the night sky.

Swish, swish, swish!

For a moment, the fire arrows streaked across the sky like rain.

The largest target, of course, was that Longevity Wind Inn.

Though Longevity Wind Inn also bore a pugilistic world insignia, it was built in such a remote place with merely passable materials, meant only to shield against the wind and rain.

Thus, the inn was made of rammed earth with charred wood beams. Even the rooftop skimped on tiles, using only thatch for rainproofing.

This time, the wind and fire combined at once set the inn ablaze.

In the darkness, it was like a giant torch.

The surrounding encamped crowd saw it without surprise.

Such was pugilistic experience. While inns could shield wind and rain, offering comfort, they were indefensible against bandit fire attacks, prompting them to camp outside instead.

Some who sought comfort were doomed.

As the fire began, they hurried out, only to get hit by arrows, frightened back into the inn...

Some, quick-witted, lifted square tables together to use as shields in escaping. Meanwhile, others became human torches, screaming as they rolled on the ground...

For a while, the fire roared, and voices of people and horses mingled chaotically.

"Brothers, keep your eyes sharp. Don’t let the Fire Points (wealthy targets) escape!"

Bai Yanhu shouted and rushed forward, wielding his thorny hammer.

After all, they were bandits. The moment they sprinted, chaos erupted.

Behind the roadside tree trunks, Li Yan held his spell, unmoving.

He had originally approached, but with Wang Daoxuan’s spells broken and the white mist dispersed, he had no choice but to hide behind the tree again.

There was nothing he could do, as his Bao Pu Mountain Climbing Skill only concealed his aura to evade magicians and yin souls, foiling invisibility acting for real.

It’s rumored that only with this skill performed by Master Ge, one could truly become invisible. Outsiders would only see a single mugwort straw drifting openly in front of them without notice.

Li Yan, of course, lacked such Dao.

Fortunately, when the bandits lit torches, the contrast between light and dark made it hard to see the surrounding scene, let alone discover him behind the tree.

"Quickly! Help me clean up the magic platform!"

Seeing this, old Fourth You was also eager, hurriedly ordering those around him.

As a "Support Beam," albeit not proficient in martial arts, Bai Yanhu naturally arranged a few bandits as his protectors.

Even if everyone hurried, they still fell behind.

Now was the moment!

Li Yan’s eyes blazed with killing intent, dashing out at once.

With this action, the Bao Pu Mountain Climbing Skill also ceased. At once, old Fourth You noticed him, exclaiming terrified, "Quick, stop him!"

However, Li Yan’s charge seemed premeditated.

His legs surged with hidden energy, body lowered, Guan Mountain Blade drew horizontally, mud flying off his feet as he surged like an arrow.

In less than a hundred meters, he reached them in two breaths.

The guardian bandits held torches. Though they could not see his figure, they could sense someone approaching swiftly.

Clang, clang, clang!

They drew their blades one after another, blocking in front of old Fourth You.

Puh!

As one person raised his blade, he saw a dark shadow in the firelight rush over. The blade glimmered as the neck of the foremost bandit was half-slashed open, spraying blood.

"Kill!"

The two beside hurriedly swung their blades down.

Yet Li Yan lifted his blade with his right hand in defense, parrying the weapons while sidling and bumping forward with his left elbow.

Bang!

With a direct top-elbow strike, the bandit behind instantly crushed all his chest bones, flying three meters away, falling on the ground with blood spewing from the mouth, dead.

In just this move, the bandits’ formation shattered instantly.

Li Yan turned conveniently, side-kicked the left bandit, and twisted-body thrusts the blade backward into the right bandit’s abdomen.

Pooh!

With an end hook, the enemy was immediately eviscerated.

These few moves, though with skill gaps secondary, were already terrifying in their viciousness, intimidating the surrounding bandits too much to advance.

Old Fourth You was flustered and hastily wielded the white tiger-head Token to frantically cast his Thousand Gold Protection Spell.

Though unskilled in martial arts, he had practiced the spell with proficiency.

Once the incantation was successful, it would injure Li Yan’s Divine Soul.

Li Yan, naturally vigilant, concentrated his mind to launch the Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Blade Tassel, desiring not to wound the enemy but to interrupt the spell.

But just then, a young man suddenly rushed out, tackling old Fourth You to the ground, gnawing a chunk out of his face viciously.

"Ah!"

Old Fourth You let out a miserable scream.

"Lin Hui, what are you doing?"

The bandits nearby also roared angrily, stabbing a knife into his back.

The young man was none other than Lin Hui, Chenyuan Daoist’s disloyal disciple. After ambushing Chenyuan and stealing the Divine Tiger Token, he immediately fled.

The one who bewitched him was none other than old Fourth You.

Yet, old Fourth You’s claims of helping him join the Mystical Sect were all lies. After obtaining the Divine Tiger Token and Thousand Gold Protection Spell, he fed Lin Hui Gu Poison, controlling him as his Divination Child.

Being a Divination Child was never an easy task.

The methods used by old Fourth You were all Evil Techniques, attaching all sorts of chaos onto him. He often found himself full of wounds upon waking from a coma.

Lin Hui, with a steadfast temperament, managed to hide his nature within the Medicine King Temple for two years before exposing himself. His life was worse than death, yet he pretended to submit to old Fourth You, awaiting his chance to retaliate.

Lin Hui?

So it was this scoundrel all along!

Though surprised, Li Yan’s movements did not stop at all. Bursting with hidden energy, he swung Guan Mountain Blade left and right, with blood splattering everywhere.

The bandits had already advanced, unaware of what was happening over there. Li Yan had no time to spare and relied on raw power to overpower them with hidden energy.

The bandits blocking him only felt a massive force, losing grip on their weapons, as they were hacked back. Some had fractured wrists, while others bled from their shoulders.

Though they survived, they lost their combat capability.

Meanwhile, Li Yan had already approached old Fourth You. Kicking Lin Hui off from atop him, his blade swung down to slit old Fourth You’s throat and grabbed the Token from his hand.

The bone Token was carved with a tiger head at the front and a talisman behind.

It was the Divine Tiger Token that went missing from the Medicine King Temple.

While securing the Token, Li Yan sensed something hidden in old Fourth You’s chest. Searching quickly, he retrieved a yellowed ancient book titled with four large words, "Seven Arrows Secret Spell."

Without time to browse, Li Yan stuffed it into his bosom.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Hui, fallen on the ground, rasped, "Save, save me..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan spun around, thrusting a blade into his heart with a low voice, "This stab repays Chenyuan Daoist for you!"

With that, he turned and vanished into the darkness.

Beyond, the fire blazed furiously, the sounds of slaughter mingling chaotically...
