Chapter 388: Man and Beast
Being domineering is being domineering.
Not all of the three Beili people on the opposite side were intimidated by Su Yupan's imperial aura.
The two guys who were obviously of lower status were visibly panicking. The axes in their hands became slippery and they were pinched several times.
At the moment when the empress's power was suppressed, they did not suffer any substantial harm, but the imperial aura was a mysterious existence that transcended things like internal force and martial arts. When it came to the fate of the country, the opponent's spirit was inevitably broken. If a battle broke out later, they would not be able to take the initiative and would inevitably fall behind.
As for the unusually tall and strong man in the lead, he simply snorted with disdain, waved his hands, and actually dispersed seven points of the slowly spreading imperial aura.
"Half-step Grandmaster Peak..."
The empress narrowed her beautiful eyes and instantly determined what level of strength this Beili man was equivalent to in the martial arts world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was just at the lower limit of the suppression of the Ten Thousand Souls Forest.
Such a person is a top-notch master not only in Beili but also in Da Zhou.
And since he mentioned the "witch in white", it means that they are indeed involved in the border conflict.
Such a powerful person was sent to do such a small-scale operation...
The empress couldn't help but think of something deeper.
Could it be that the border conflict was just a cover, and Beili deliberately hid a master of this strength among them, with further plans... ?
"Baby…"
"?"
While the empress was pondering, Qin Lang also took a step forward from behind, his lips moving:
"Qingqing just reminded me that the leader seemed to have an extraordinary string of Buddhist beads on his wrist. When he dispersed the emperor's aura just now, it seemed to have stimulated it at the same time. There was a strange light flashing. What do you think..."
"Buddha beads?"
The empress' heart sank, wondering to what extent the Chanzhen Temple and its ilk had colluded with Beili.
……
The people here actually didn't know that while they were quickly exchanging this information, the other side was also communicating in Beili language, but it was not very smooth.
"It was during the Great Zhou's northern hunting expedition. I didn't expect to meet the Great Zhou emperor in such a deep place. It seems that he has no decent guards..."
"Most likely he is lost like us. The Forest of Ten Thousand Souls is really weird this year."
"What are you two still hesitating about! It will be a great achievement for me to take down the Emperor of Great Zhou!"
"General Tuoyue, you... don't mess around. Strengthening my reputation is one thing, but the other party is the emperor of the Great Zhou. Once they start, the two countries will go to war. Should we..."
"Hahaha...Based on the actions of the royal court in the past few years, do you think there will be no war if we don't take action?"
"This... General Tuoyue, even so, you..."
"kill!"
The leading General Tuo Yue was obviously accustomed to being brutal and violent. Ever since he walked out from behind the tree, he no longer cared about the identities of these people from the Great Zhou. The murderous look in his eyes was enough to show that he had killed countless people and was extremely cruel. With a low roar, he leaped up and left a shallow pit on the spot.
The next moment, a clenched fist rapidly enlarged as it dived down from the sky, carrying with it a mixed murderous aura that made the surrounding trees sway.
"There is also internal strength..."
The empress recognized the murderous aura at a glance. Although it was not pure enough, it was indeed a rough internal force.
Moreover, this punch is a martial art from Chanzhen Temple.
"Vajra Fist of Zenshin Temple! Disperse!"
The empress scolded, and Qin Lang and Bai Qingqing dispersed.
"Panpan! I'll help!"
The empress raised her knife and slashed horizontally, while Tuantuan stepped on Qin Lang's head and leaped, spitting a ball of blue fox fire on the Zhuili Knife. As the empress slashed down with the knife, it transformed into another form of blue sword energy, which shattered the huge fist shadow.
However, this punch was not even a test for Tuoyue.
"The demon race actually helps others... Interesting..."
While the empress was responding, Tuo Yue had already flashed in front of the empress. This time, he did not attack directly, but quickly made a movement of transporting his strength. The rough internal force was transported from his left hand through specific meridians to his right hand, and he slapped out with one palm.
boom!
The unparalleled strong wind was piercing enough to pierce one's bones. Tuo Yue's palm was facing the ground below, and even half a foot of stone and soil was suddenly lifted up, and smashed towards the empress in the face along with the palm wind.
"Wuliang Mountain's Hunyuan Tiansha Palm!"
Su Yupan's heart skipped a beat. As he pushed the Falling Pear Knife in front of him, a wall of fox fire instantly rose up.
However, this blue fire wall collapsed immediately in front of Tuoyue's palm. After barely removing a little of the force, the remaining power still knocked Su Yupan back. Until the moment he landed, he used the Zhui Li Knife to insert into the ground to stabilize his body, and at the same time spurted out large mouthfuls of blood.
She really hadn't been hurt like this in a long time.
At the same time, the two Beili people who were accompanying Tuoyue had also rushed up.
"My beloved! Hide well. If the situation gets bad, leave immediately! Don't worry about us!"
"Qingqing!"
The Regent was very clear about Qin Lang's current condition. Now the three of them had two knives in total, so Bai Qingqing decisively pulled out the one from Qin Lang's waist, tapped the toe of her shoe, and rushed towards the two Beili people.
Although her skills were the most suppressed, fortunately the two Beili followers were not as good as Tuoyue, and the Regent could barely hold them off by fighting two of them at once.
However, it is limited to resisting.
On the other hand, Tuoyue is fully capable of fighting two people at once.
boom!
Tuoyue, who was staring at the empress, turned his head and looked at Bai Qingqing who was not far away. He raised his hand directly, and this time his inner strength was poured into the Buddhist beads on his wrist. He threw the beads and a golden bell suddenly appeared. Bai Qingqing hurriedly raised his knife and stabbed the two minions. At the same time, he raised his hand and gathered his strength to resist the golden bell. Blood instantly flowed from the corner of his lips. No...
The difference is too big!
This damn suppression!
Qin Lang was now filled with indescribable resentment, looking at his two women like this, yet he was already exhausted and could do nothing. And all this was not because of his lack of hard power, but all because of the suppression of the Ten Thousand Souls Forest. He felt so aggrieved.
Is it really the end of the road?
"Langlang!"
"!"
At this moment, Tuantuan shouted and rushed into Qin Lang's arms.
"Lang Lang! Pull out my fur quickly, Senior Sister!"
"?"
Qin Lang was stunned, but there was no time to think too much at this moment, so he raised his hand and stroked the little fox's body.
"Don't pull them randomly! Feel behind my neck. There are three particularly hard hairs. They are the three hairs that Master gave me. They are called life-saving hairs. You can only pull one at a time. Pull one out first!"
"..."
Three life-saving hairs…?
This…isn’t this from the stories I told Zhuo Beibei? Why would Master…
But Qin Lang didn't waste any words. According to what Tu Anan said, he touched a very hard hair on the back of her neck.
Then in an instant, the hair turned into blue light and merged into Tu Anan's body.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!
The next moment, thousands of blue silk-like things shot out from Tuan Tuan's body. Tuo Yue was about to strike the empress's neck with his palm, but ended up hitting a blue wall.
boom!
The wind was blowing hard, dust was everywhere, branches were broken, but the wall made of blue silk threads was so tough that it was not affected at all.
Tuo Yue jumped back a few steps and observed carefully, only to find that the silk threads were not actually woven into a wall, but were flying from all directions to form a giant cocoon that wrapped up all the opponents.
"Uhhhhhh-!"
Tuo Yue roared and started punching the giant blue cocoon one by one.
Inside the giant cocoon, Qin Lang was concerned about the Empress and Bai Qingqing while asking Tu Anan:
"Master sister, what is this?"
"Master gave me this for self-defense. It can hold off the Beili people for a while."
"for a while?"
"Well, this cocoon is meant to withstand a fatal blow, not to sit and wait for death. If the Beili people continue to attack like this outside, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long..."
As Tuantuan was talking, his two big furry ears began to droop, but soon stood up again.
"unless!"
Qin Lang's eyes lit up. Sure enough, there is always a way out:
"Unless what?"
"Unless during this period, Langlang, you should seize the time and improve yourself once more. Then you can at least recover your fighting strength and fight with Panpan and the others to win a chance of survival!"
"promote…?"
Qin Lang's heart sank:
"Big sister, are you kidding me? I am now a Grandmaster, the pinnacle of martial arts. If I continue to improve, I will at least be a half-step Grandmaster. How can it be that simple? Moreover, the Ten Thousand Souls Forest can suppress Lian Yupan. Even if I improve, what will happen..."
"Oh no, no! Idiot Langlang! I didn't ask you to upgrade this!"
"Then...what is that?"
"It's your mental method!"
"Heart…"
"Little junior brother!"
Tu Anan suddenly became serious, but it didn't seem completely serious. Qin Lang didn't know why, but he could actually see a hint of shyness in the eyes of a fox:
"Big Sister, I am going to teach you the Peace of Mind Technique now! Are you willing?"
"What? I..."
"Oh, it doesn't matter whether you are willing or not, meow, this is the only way!"
Hiss—!
After Tu Anan finished speaking, she bit off a piece of Qin Lang's clothes.
"? Senior Sister? What...what does this mean?"
"Nonsense! Stupid little junior brother! Why don't you take off all your clothes and practice dual cultivation with me, the senior sister!"
"???"
Now?
Double cultivation?
Me and Tuantuan?
Humans and foxes?
As Tuantuan was talking, she was lying on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, her big furry tail half-covering her hind legs. Her eyes were slightly narrowed, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, and she looked surprisingly charming...
