An Zheng sat there and did not get up. He extended his left hand to catch a crossbow arrow that was shooting towards him. He casually threw the crossbow arrow to the side, then turned the table over and placed it in front of Li Yannian.
"Who did you offend?"
An Zheng asked.
Li Yannian shook his head in fear, he was so scared that he couldn't even say a word.
After An Zheng heard for a while, he lowered his voice and said, "There are at least a dozen people outside, their footsteps are messy, meaning that their coordination is not very good, and should not be from the military."
He reached out and grabbed Li Yannian, then casually tossed him onto the roof beam. Fortunately, his reaction wasn't too slow, and he tightly hugged the beam without letting go.
An Zheng stood at the side of the room with his back against the door post. After the crossbow arrow had been shot for a while, the door to the room was kicked open by someone from outside. An Zheng reached out and grabbed the clothes of the first person, then cut his throat with a single hand, causing that person to immediately fall limply onto the ground. An Zheng picked up the crossbow and pointed it towards the candle flame. The crossbow arrow shot out and extinguished the candle flame.
People rushed into the house from behind and carefully probed around in the dark.
An Zheng stood at the door counting from start to end. There were a total of six people who came in, and there were at least six or seven people who were still on guard outside.
A teacher of the Department for Purging Officials who did not understand cultivation could actually send so many people to kill him ? This was not here to kill, but to exterminate the sect.
An Zheng waited until no one else came in before he used his palm and cut off a masked man's face from the back like a ghost. Reaching out his hand, he pulled out the short knife s from the waist of the fallen person. With a flash of the blade, the people who entered the room were hacked down one after another.
The people outside clearly didn't expect there to be an expert in the room, so they panicked. An Zheng picked up a handful of crossbow and looked at it, then he shot it outwards a few times. Immediately after, four to five Black Man s were struck by the arrow and fell to the ground.
"There's an expert here."
The people outside said softly, clearly not wanting to alarm the neighbors.
An Zheng looked out from the hole in the window. There were only a few people left in the courtyard, but there were no signs of them retreating. Those people who were holding onto the crossbow began to retreat. Then, An Zheng suddenly saw a large group of black shadows smash towards the house.
An Zheng subconsciously held his arms in front of his body to block as he quickly retreated, and in an instant, the cultivation strength condensed.
But nothing happened.
When An Zheng felt that something was wrong, he felt a sharp pain from his back.
An Zheng's body couldn't help but fly forward, and directly smashed the window in front of him into pieces. In the middle of the air, a few sharp blades shining with moonlight hacked down from mid-air. An Zheng reached out and grabbed one of them into his embrace, then forcibly snatched the blade away. With the help of that person's strength and weight, An Zheng steadily landed on the ground again. When he landed on the ground, his wrist shook and the long knife immediately broke into pieces. An Zheng pushed forward with one palm, and the pieces of the blade shot out from the qi-qi, killing all of the four to five Black Man s in front of them.
The door creaked open and a man walked slowly out of the room.
"You are not Li Yannian."
This person spoke with a very strange voice and body.
An Zheng carefully observed for a while, then asked. "demonic beast?"
The man shook his head.
"spermatophore?"
The man shook his head again.
An Zheng took a deep breath, "So they are actually the most difficult devil beast to deal with."
When he raised his head to look at An Zheng, An Zheng could clearly see that he was wearing a metal mask and there was not even a nostril on his face. The only difference was that there were two holes on his face where his eyes were. There were two clumps of red light in the hole, faint but dazzling.
This person was wearing a wide set of black robe, but one could faintly see a metallic reflection of the moonlight beneath the black robe.
No matter if it was demonic beast, spermatophore, or even devil beast, they could only cultivate human form after reaching purple rank. Therefore, when An Zheng asked this question, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart. Something that could cultivate into a human shape, An Zheng knew that his current cultivation level was definitely not a match for it. However, when he saw the armor made of metal, he knew what had happened. demonic beast s were cultivated to demon by various wild beasts, spermatophore s were flowers, plants, trees and the like, and devil beast s were all auras.
Since it was air, of course it didn't have a fixed shape. And this guy was able to take human form because he was wearing a metal armor. If the armor was broken, it would become a wave of energy.
"Where's Li Yannian?"
the man asked.
An Zheng asked in response, "Why did you want to kill Li Yannian?"
Metal Freak was silent for a while, then walked toward An Zheng: "If you can't find him, then I'll grab you and bring you back for questioning. Then, I can also ask where Li Yannian went to."
An Zheng pondered for a moment. If he were to use bronze bell s, it would cause unnecessary trouble. Once the bronze bell appeared, it would definitely attract the attention of the experts in the capital. Right now, he did not have the power to protect this level of devil apparatus, so he could not use it for now. Thinking about it, An Zheng flipped his wrist and took out the Red Luan. Before reaching a certain realm, An Zheng was unable to use the purple rank divine artifact, so this Red Luan was already an exceptionally sharp weapon in An Zheng's hands.
"You want to resist?"
The voice of the Metal Freak also had a metallic feeling, making people feel uncomfortable. He walked forward, and then raised his arm to point at An Zheng, "Resistance will kill you."
After he finished speaking, a gust of black smoke suddenly sprayed out from his wide sleeves. An Zheng dodged it in a flash. Wherever the black gas went, the grass withered, the trees withered, and the corpses on the ground turned into pus.
An Zheng frowned, this devil beast was originally a type of poisonous gas, but there were a lot of different types of poisonous gas too, so it was impossible to discern them. If only Qu Liuxi was by her side, her research on poisons would be very thorough.
Metal Freak's attack failed to hit him, and immediately pounced forward, waving both of his hands, the black aura separated like a viper into ten or so, and crawled towards An Zheng at an astonishing speed in the air.
An Zheng did not dare to rashly come into contact with the black aura. Like a cheetah that was shuttling through the forest, his body avoided the venomous snakes formed by the black aura, and quickly approached the Metal Freak.
Metal Freak let out a cold snort. The sleeves of his robe suddenly puffed up like a sail fed by the wind. Soon after, black balls of air shot out one after another from his sleeves like artillery shells.
In the dark, the sight wasn't good. This ball of air was also black and silent, so avoiding it was extremely difficult.
An Zheng's mind stirred, and starlight flashed on the blood nurturing bead bracelet. Then, a round shield with a diameter of forty centimeters appeared in his hand. The round shield emitted a kind of deep light and had stripes on it. It was the fish scale from the Holy Fish.
An Zheng rushed forward while carrying the Holy Fish scale shield, the black balls of air bombarded the scale shield one after another, but were unable to corrode the scale shield.
Metal Freak let out a strange cry, and then, two materialized pythons suddenly came out from his sleeves. An Zheng's eyesight was not bad, and in an instant he saw that it was actually an extended arm. The metal armor worn by this person was somewhat exquisite and could change shapes at will. Two snake-like arms entangled over, An Zheng swung his scale shield and smashed one of them away, while the other quickly wrapped around his waist.
That arm quickly tightened as the python wrapped around An Zheng like it was its prey and dragged him towards Metal Freak.
Just as An Zheng was about to reach Metal Freak, the strange person's other arm wrapped back and a hole appeared on the tip of the arm. Black Qi sprayed out from the wound and rushed towards An Zheng's face.
When the distance between the two was less than a meter, An Zheng swiped the Red Luan s in his hands, cutting open the armor that was wrapped around his body. As the black aura gushed out, An Zheng lowered his body and stuck close to the ground as he charged forward. He used the scale shield in his left hand and poked at the ground. Borrowing the force of the impact, he flipped over and used both of his legs to kick Metal Freak hard in the chest.
Metal Freak took a few steps back. Before he could stabilize himself, An Zheng had already approached him again.
The Red Luan stabbed out, returning the blow upon contact. Metal Freak swept both his arms back, and An Zheng had already circled behind him. The Red Luan quickly poked Metal Freak in the back dozens of times. Metal Freak roared furiously, his entire body transforming into a python as it coiled towards An Zheng.
An Zheng swung out his scale shield, which rotated to form an arc in the air before smashing it ruthlessly onto Metal Freak's face in the middle of the air. With a bang, the mask cracked open and the black gas began to escape outwards.
An Zheng took the chance and rushed over, once again, the Red Luan kept thrusting out, and Metal Freak took many blows on his body. When An Zheng retreated, Metal Freak was already furious to the extreme.
"A fellow whose cultivation level does not even reach Xumi Stage actually dares to block my way!"
He rushed forward, only to see An Zheng giving him a strange smile.
"What do you mean the cultivation level aren't important? What's important is that I have a lot of good stuff."
An Zheng pushed forward with one of his palms, releasing a wave of qi-qi that struck onto Metal Freak's body, causing the weirdo's armor to shatter with a bang. Hundreds of holes had been pierced through the armor by An Zheng previously. With a single palm from An Zheng, the armor could no longer hold on.
When the armor shattered, a large amount of black Qi emerged from within.
"This is the mortal world, you devil beast shouldn't have come."
An Zheng raised his hand and the scale shield flew out to collide with the black ball of air, shattering it. In the ball of air, a red bead was faintly discernible.
"Add a dish for Good Lord."
An Zheng's feet pushed off the ground, and his body flew out like a cannonball. The instant the scale shield knocked away the black aura, the Red Luan picked out the bead from within the black aura. The bead fell on the ground and rolled itself out, continuously turning to avoid An Zheng's chase. Just as the bead was about to roll out of the courtyard, An Zheng's Red Luan flew out and stabbed right in front of the bead. The bead paused and the blood nurturing bead on An Zheng's wrist flashed, and the bead was immediately sucked in.
An Zheng's blood nurturing bead bracelet now had three pearls that she could use. One of them was the medicine field, one of them was a spatial storage, and the other was a pearl with the word "Fish" written on it.
There was a square shaped star point's pearl that was used for spatial storage. With a flash of light, the pearl was absorbed into the blood nurturing bead's pearl.
An Zheng did not dare to stay any longer, and rushed into the house to pull Li Yannian off the roof beam, and then dragged him away and ran out of the Li Residence. Before leaving, An Zheng overturned two lanterns in the courtyard and threw them into the woodshed.
"What are you doing!"
Li Yannian anxiously shouted.
An Zheng pulled him and ran: "These people are obviously not to be exposed to the light. I will burn your courtyard down, and Fanggu will send people over. When these dead people are discovered by the Fanggu or some other yamen, those who wish to kill you will not dare to act rashly in such a short period of time. "
Li Yannian was startled, he was already dragged into the alley by An Zheng.
An Zheng purposely circled around a few times before finally returning to the Heavenly Awakening Sect. This place wasn't considered close to the Li Family, it was at least seven or eight kilometers away. After An Zheng returned, he locked Li Yannian in his own room. Under the light, he could tell that Li Yannian was so scared that his face was pale.
"Who did you offend?"
An Zheng asked: "You actually used so many people to kill you."
Li Yannian first shook his head, then nodded. My eyes were filled with boundless fear: "Is it my turn?"
When he said these words, his expression was incomparably complex.
