Chapter 324 Two People
Liu Qianhu roared and drew his sword, but saw the black shadow of the mass murderer turning around and attacking directly towards him.
Well done!
Liu Qianhu immediately raised his knife to block it, but was repelled by the strange force. He did not stop until he reached the edge of the eaves.
"Master Liu!"
"Lord Qianhu!"
Amidst the exclamations of everyone, Liu Qianhu looked up and saw that the one who took action was the two-color ink demon who had been so boastful before.
Nice strength!
Liu Qianhu tilted his neck, his fighting spirit gradually rising.
Feeling Liu Qianhu’s gaze, the two-color ink demon immediately attacked again.
"Two-color ink demon, I'm here to help you!"
I saw a huge shadow rushing out of the blood mist behind the two-color ink demon, and it turned out to be the former defeated general, the southern barbarian giant elephant demon.
The image of an elephant with its horns cut off left an impression on Liu Qianhu.
At the same time, more demons rushed into the crowd from the blood mist.
The Yudifu team members below and the little demon on the opposite floor are already fighting together on the ground.
For a time, the shouts of killing were soaring to the sky, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Seeing the two demons joining forces to kill, Liu Qianhu's eyes narrowed and he concentrated his killing moves.
Bah! !
Bah! !
Accompanied by two splashes of blood.
The two-color ink demon and the southern barbarian giant elephant demon were both pushed back to the edge of the roof.
Poof!
The huge body of the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon suddenly knelt on the ground. The entire elephant foot had a long wound that was dripping with blood and winding down like a stream, and was trembling slightly.
The two-color ink demon next to it was like a mirror being slashed diagonally. The upper body slowly slid down along the diagonal wound. As black and white bubbles gurgled out of the body, it finally Repair the wound as before.
During this repair process, the eyes of the two-color ink demon were staring at Liu Qianhu, not daring to move away even a little bit.
"One hundred cuts... or one cut? The famous veteran Qianhu is not simple."
The two-color ink demon's face was ugly. Only after the real fight did he know why his brother, the Southern Barbarian giant elephant demon, was here. An elephant horn fell from this man's hand.
This Liu Qianhu’s strength is extraordinary.
If it were an ordinary Qianhu, if he and the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon joined forces, there would be no problem in suppressing them within seconds.
But at this moment, it was the two demons who were suppressed in turn!
Coupled with the fact that the Baihu team around him cooperated in defense, they were almost like turtle shells and could not attack at all.
The gaze shifted from Liu Qianhu to the Baihu team protecting Liu Qianhu.
If we don’t get rid of these guys...
“Not many people can see through my trick!”
The two-color ink demon’s thoughts were interrupted by Liu Qianhu.
The moment Liu Qianhu finished speaking, he led his team to kill the two demons!
Behind you is the edge of the tall building.
With no one to cooperate, the two demons are no match for this person, so they can only avoid the edge temporarily.
“Jump!!”
The two-color ink demon shouted, but the southern giant elephant demon obviously failed to react in time and did not understand the intention of the two-color ink demon.
There was a moment of hesitation in his expression, and the two-color ink demon advanced instead of retreating, and suddenly rushed towards the oncoming Liu Qianhu team!
"Just now you two demons went up together, and you couldn't do anything to me. Now you are alone..."
Liu Qianhu suddenly stopped talking.
Because, when the two-color ink demon rushed up, a dozen black shadows were rushing out of the gradually fading blood mist behind it!
There were three or four black figures, rushing over from the buildings on the left and right in coordination!
"Master Two-Colored Ink Demon, let's help!"
"Master Nanman Giant Elephant Demon, retreat, I'm here!"
"You garbage in the foolish underworld, suffer death!!"
Amidst the shouts of killing, Liu Qianhu quickly asked the team to get into a defensive formation.
This group of monsters came suddenly. Liu Qianhu could react, but his subordinates Baihu were a little confused.
Bang! !
A monster with the body of a centaur kicked a man from a household with two front hooves in the face, sending him flying dozens of meters away and falling from a tall building screaming.
A hundred households around them were suddenly ignited by a netherworld fire. They were so frightened that they rolled to the ground to put out the fire, but the flames continued to burn until they were ashes.
Another three hundred households suddenly raised their swords to kill their own people. Ink-colored tigers and leopards appeared out of thin air, pounced on the members of hundreds of households, and entangled and fought with each other.
For a time, the situation around Liu Qianhu was in chaos, but no matter which monster rushed out, they did not dare to confront him directly, they all went towards his men.
Liu Qianhu held the knife in his hand.
“Your opponent is me!!”
The two-color ink demon suddenly appeared in front of him while drinking, but...
Bah! !
One knife!
The body of the two-color ink demon was cut into two parts, turned into ink shapes, and scattered on the ground.
Judging from the squirming behavior of the ink on the ground, the two-color ink demon is not dead, but it will not recover for a while.
“Let’s join forces!!!”
[Long Poetry Canvas Demon] suddenly panicked and shouted to the surroundings while releasing the ink tiger and leopard.
But no one responded to him.
No one wants to be the first person. Just like when the two-color ink demon rushed out first, they chose to kill the buildings on both sides within a few seconds of the Fairy Tail. They first dealt with the soldiers in the Yudi Mansion and observed the situation by the way, instead of directly fighting with them. The two-color ink demon cooperates to fight against the enemy.
Before departure, the high-sounding shout of joining forces to fight against the enemy seemed like a joke at the moment.
No one dares to make the first move, no one wants to be the first, no one wants... to be the first to die in the hands of Liu Qianhu!
Liu Qianhu had a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.
Then he made a move.
"Hundred... cut!!"
Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz! ! !
A sound as dense as a buzzing sound suddenly exploded from the ears of everyone on the top of the building.
[Long Poetry Painted Demon] saw the light.
In other words, everyone present saw the light.
Blade light!
The sword light, as fine as silk but as sharp as a blade, suddenly spread outward like a cage with Liu Qianhu as the center!
Bah! Bah! Bah!
In just a moment, the nearest [Long Poetry Canvas Demon] was slashed by the light of the sword, and large exploding ink erupted from his body, and he fell to the ground as if he had been dismembered. But if you look carefully, you can see an eye squeezed out of the ink that fell on the ground, observing the situation like a thief.
Facing the light of the sword, [Youhuo Demon] widened his eyes in horror and roared angrily.
roar! !
A fierce ghostly fire suddenly burst out from his body! The surrounding light was slightly distorted, as if it was going to burn everything out, not even the light of the sword... was spared!
Boom! !
The ghostly fire burned the sword light, like the iron pillars of a cage being twisted and bent by the light. She opened a hole in the dense sword light, and her body wrapped in flames passed by the sword light.
Then, she saw the horse-tailed demon. She jumped deep into the building next door, but was covered by the suddenly accelerating sword light in mid-air. In an instant, it was broken into dozens of pieces of raw meat, and corpses and blood splashed from high in the sky. It fell down.
The huge horse head still maintained the frightened expression before death. Before falling, it looked at the Nether Fire Demon for the last time.
"Liu..."
On the other side, the frightened screams stopped abruptly, like a kite with a broken string.
The corpse was cut in half by the sword light from above.
But... it’s not the body of [Heart-Deceiving Demon], it’s the bodies of hundreds of households around her!
"Protect me! Protect me! Protect me!!!"
Blood flowed from [Deception Demon]'s eyes, but she was still exerting strength crazily.
One body, two bodies, three bodies... seven bodies!
Seven bodies from hundreds of households stood in front of her one after another.
But it’s not enough, the sword light is still approaching!
There was not much time to think in the electric light and flint, so [Heart-Deceiving Demon] almost acted on instinct, retreating and roaring at the same time.
But she didn't notice... there were no humans around her who could bewitch.
Tap!
[Heart-Deceiving Demon] has retreated to the edge of the roof, and the sword light is already about to strike her body as if teleporting.
Just when her pupils were shaking and about to scream...
Light.
Disappeared.
[Heart-Deceiving Demon] was stunned for a moment, then looked around, all the sword light had disappeared, and she immediately realized it.
"Distance! This distance is the limit of Liu Qianhu's hundred battles..."
Bah! !
The head is flying high.
The sound stopped suddenly.
Liu Qianhu shook off the blood on the knife.
With one kick, the body of [Heart-Deceiving Demon] was kicked off the tall building.
Then, he slowly turned around and looked at the mess on the ground.
Blood, blood, blood, blood, blood!
Corpses, corpses, corpses, corpses!
Human corpses and demon limbs were mixed together, indistinguishable from each other, and covered the entire roof in a mess.
A hundred cuts.
No distinction between friend and foe.
Hundreds of cuts.
There is no need to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!
Today, only the Blood Demon can take my life.
No one else!
With a focused look in his eyes, Liu Qianhu locked his next target and stepped out without saying a word!
As soon as he moved, everyone present suddenly started to move as if they were awakened from a dream.
"Roar!!! Take the two-color ink demon away!!"
Finally regaining control, the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon, who was lucky enough not to be harmed at the edge of the sword light, roared angrily and pounced. Xiang Liu Qianhu, knocked him out of the tall building, and the man and the monster fell down together!
“Escape!!!”
The frightened Nether Fire Demon didn’t care what others were going to do, so he turned around and ran away!
"Kill!!"
The unconvinced two-color ink demon had just condensed into half a human form when he saw the Nanman giant elephant demon knocking Liu Qianhu out of the tall building.
"Let's go! Let's meet up with the Blood Demon Demon and the others!!"
The [Long Poetry Canvas Demon] who was the slowest to react was actually the calmest.
Suddenly, from the ink in the eyeballs, a human form quickly condensed like a painting. With a foot and a puddle of ink water, the two-color ink demon picked up half of its body and was about to follow the ghost fire. The demon escapes together.
So fierce! So fierce! Or it’s too monster! ! !
How could there be such a monster among humans? !
Is this Liu Qianhu really him, just Qianhu? ? ?
With a hundred cuts in one hand, you can't get close without [Demon Foot], and you can't fight without [Demon Foot]. Without Lord Demon Foot present, they can't suppress the monster with just a few Fairy Tails!
And the elite young men they brought were instantly crushed into pieces of flesh when Bai Zhan appeared, just like those hundreds of households in Yudi Mansion who had no ability to protect themselves, and their bones and corpses were sticky. They were mixed on the ground, and it was hard to tell who was who.
"Only the Blood Demon Demon, who is said to be the strongest among us, can come over and suppress this person. If we cooperate with the Blood Demon Demon to assist, can we have a chance to capture this person! Only with the two-color ink demon, Nanman The Giant Elephant Demon, and us Fairy Tails who all have their own agendas, are far from this person’s opponent!”
At this moment, [Long Poetry Canvas Demon] had a clear understanding of the strength levels in his mind! Know.
Either Master Yaozu comes to the town, or the Blood Demon Demon comes to test the ingredients, otherwise they will have no choice but to escape in the face of Liu Qianhu’s pursuit, and they will not be able to fight back!
As for the situation on the scene, it is very good. Everyone in Yudi Mansion is suppressed by our demonic forces. It is meaningless at all. It is just that Liu Qianhu is not allowed to have more helpers around him.
After all, Yudi Mansion is good at cooperative operations. Previously, the Baihu team protected Liu Qianhu, and by cooperating with Liu Qianhu, the defense could be as tight as a net, making it difficult to find flaws.
Bang! ! !
When [Long Poetry Canvas Demon] thought of this, there was suddenly a loud rumble on the ground, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.
The three demons turned around subconsciously, and the pupils of [Long Poetry Painted Demon] suddenly shrank.
I saw a light figure, standing quietly on the edge of the roof with his feet slightly bent, as if he had just jumped up from below.
The long hair that fell down obscured his face, but the Qianhu official uniform he wore had exposed his identity.
No! wrong!
On this person’s waist is... a sword? ? ?
My heart trembled, and an extremely terrifying speculation emerged from my mind.
"Speed, [Swift Wind Sword] Speedy Double Happiness?!"
[Long Poem Canvas Demon] said that name with almost a trembling voice.
"Oh?"
The person came, stretched out his hands, left his long hair in the sea, and pushed it aside at the same time, revealing the shape of a one-eyed dragon, grinning.
“I didn’t expect that I am quite famous among demons? But for the hatred of my left eye, I have to go to your Red Moon Demon to settle the score.”
Sure enough...it's him! !
[Long Poetry Canvas Demon] The three demons looked at each other.
[Swift Wind Sword] is not only fast in drawing the sword, but its movement skills are also top-notch!
If you want to escape from [Swift Wind Sword], you probably have to... disperse and escape!
Whoosh——
Just as the three demons were thinking of this, a black shadow suddenly emerged from below and landed next to [Swift Wind Sword].
“Come so quickly?”
Yes... Kill Liu Qianhu a hundred times!
Throwing the huge elephant demon's head to the ground, the two-color ink demon's eyes widened instantly.
It’s the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon!
Liu Qianhu, he has already killed it...
The two-color ink demon felt his mouth go dry. He never thought that any of the three demons would be here. .
"Leave no one behind?"
Su Qianhu pulled out the long sword at his waist, pointed it at the three demons, and stood side by side with Liu Qianhu.
“Leave no one behind.”
Liu Qianhu shook off the blood on the knife, pointing the long knife forward with cold eyes.
On the right side of the two people, the blood mist has already dissipated.
In the towering long painting studio, there was a demon, who knelt on the ground with a thud and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. "What on earth happened?"
The giant blue-hammer ape demon's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Just now, when the group of demons were killing each other, he wanted to rush out with him, but he was ordered by the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon to stay and take care of his unconscious brother, the Red Hammer Giant Ape Demon.
In addition, Changhuazhai was also attacked by enemies and needed someone to guard it, so he stayed.
Who would have thought, waiting for the blood mist to dissipate.
The demon brothers in front of me are dead and injured, and the human warrior Qianhu is preparing to kill them all in the end.
"I just blinked, I just blinked! Why did everyone die? Obviously it was just a thousand households, just a thousand households! Just a thousand households!!!"
< br>The giant blue-hammer ape demon knelt down and roared, but it only attracted Su Qianhu and Liu Qianhu, who glanced slightly from the corner of their eyes.
A nameless little demon, not worth mentioning.
Looking back, the two Qianhus were suddenly stunned.
Because there is a man standing on their swords.
A person wearing the [Xunsi] brand on his waist.
"You two seemed to have a great time killing."
……
a minute ago.
The street in front of Chang Hua Zhai.
“Kill!!!”
“It’s a monster!!”
“Kill them!!”
The red-eyed Yudifu team saw the large army of Fang Yu and his party, and rushed forward with their swords raised without even thinking.
But before he could rush to Fang Yu, he was slapped on the head like a watermelon by the demon outside. Or bite off half of the kidney in one bite, or several demons swarm up and bite the human body directly, and then start to gnaw away without waiting to death.
The picture is cruel and bloody, but it seems to be nothing compared to the corpses everywhere on the ground.
In addition to feeling more and more uncomfortable with the demon's behavior, Fang Yu was also a little depressed. He almost didn't do anything to the humans he met along the way.
Counting the few people Jubaihu casually killed at that time, apart from earning a few hundred points of blood, the rest of the time it was basically the demon brother who took action.
Before anyone from Yudi Mansion could get close, they were stopped and killed by the escort team of Bie Huzi, Rong Qiulu, and Bu Ange.
Don’t look at Bie Huzi’s incompetence, but he’s just outstanding.
But it is enough to deal with hundreds of ordinary households. With the same blood volume, demons are generally stronger than humans, and much stronger.
Rong Qiulu with 3,000 HP and Bu Ange with 2,600 HP ensure the basic lower limit of combat power.
The teams we encountered were only led by a few hundred households at most, and they were killed before they even had the chance to get close.
If Fang Yu hadn't spoken out and wanted to capture them alive and kill a few of them himself, he wouldn't have even left any soup for himself.
After all, Fang Yu only had two to three thousand blood.
At this point, the demon boys around me started to look at me strangely.
If Fang Yu was not responsible for killing but not eating, the corpse would still be thrown to the demon brother for disposal. I am afraid they would all think that I was going to rob them of their welfare.
Until Bie Huzi came over, he was a little embarrassed and mentioned in a vague way that this kind of hunting behavior was originally a little benefit to the demons below, so Fang Yu tried not to interfere, so as not to affect the morale of the army. Fang Yu Only then did he restrain himself a little.
The main reason is that there are not many Yudifu teams encountered along the way. There are only two or three kittens, which is not enough.
Fang Yu originally thought that the main team of Yudi Mansion was far away from them, but now it seems that his side was slow and failed to keep up with the big army.
There was a commotion in Changhuazhai. People and demons from Yudi Mansion were fighting each other. The situation was inextricable.
"Sir, let's go directly to support. The other Fairy Tails should be fighting inside." The green smoke colored snake demon suggested.
Fang Yu was about to nod...
Bang! ! !
Some heavy object hit the ground hard, making a loud rumbling sound not far away.
"Lord Blood Demon, the noise is coming from over there!" Bie Huzi leaned closer and whispered.
"Diao... Blood Demon Demon, the people from You Mansion haven't come yet, so we reported the battle location directly to him. Isn't it a little hasty? What if they betray us?" Che Linfang was walking along the way. I have been struggling with this matter, and I am still struggling with it now. I am completely out of state.
"Sir, shall I go and take a look?" the green smoke snake demon said in a low voice.
Fang Yu thought for a moment and waved his hand.
"I'm going to take a look. Che Linfang and Zhang Xiaoli's team will act with me. The others will go in first to support the two-color ink demon and the others."
"Sir, the size of the number of people in Yudi Mansion is , Qianhu should have been killed, you..." The green smoke snake demon wanted to say something else, but when he saw Fang Yu's gaze, he lowered his head again.
Thinking that the distance was not far, if something really happened, it would be too late to come for support, so he gritted his teeth and led the way towards Chang Hua Zhai.
Fang Yu took Che Linfang, Zhang Xiaoli, and some little demons to the place where the sound came from.
Then, they saw a headless demon corpse.
But Fang Yu recognized it.
“It’s the body of the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon!”
His face gradually darkened.
“The corpse of the Southern Barbarian Giant Elephant Demon?!” Che Linfang covered her mouth and exclaimed.
Zhang Xiaoli was a little confused and followed Che Linfang closely.
Tick tock.
At this time.
A drop of blood fell on Fang Yu's nose.
Fang Yu slowly raised his head and looked directly above. A figure just turned back to the roof.
Che Linfang also saw it, his eyes widened, and he was about to say something, when he saw that Fang Yu had jumped up, and seemed to have slapped something on his face in mid-air.
"Che Linfang, inform them that Qianhu is here with me!"
"Yes, yes!!"
Che Linfang is still self-aware.
In terms of strength, she is now weaker than her younger brothers. Instead of showing off, it is better to notify others immediately to help.
He led the team and rushed towards Changhuazhai, but happened to see a group of people coming out of the door.
After discovering Che Linfang's team of monsters, they immediately rushed over with shouts of death.
How could Che Linfang be polite? He let the team kill him with a wave of his hand.
But when the pair of people approached, Che Linfang suddenly heard a startled shout.
"Che...Lin Fang??"
who? !
Che Linfang was shocked, frowned and looked at the source of the sound.
The next moment, she recognized the person.
To lurk, your memory must not be bad.
The one who called out her name was [Biao Zhengzhi].
Diao Deyi had sent this person to summon her before, and I remember he seemed to be... Liu Qianhu's subordinate.
Understood, the person above is Liu Qianhu!
“Leave no one alive!”
Leaving a death order, Che Linfang strode forward. All the Yudifu team members who wanted to kill Che Linfang were stopped by the demons around them. Stop and kill.
Biao Zhengzhi didn't understand that Che Linfang had a problem at this time. He roared angrily and wanted to kill him.
"Remember that you are a subordinate of Diao Xunsi! Diao Xunsi trusts you so much! Yudi Mansion cultivated you like this, but you turned out to be...a monster!!"
In the roar, it was obviously just the expression of Shihu. Zhengzhi, unexpectedly ferocious, killed all the way to the back of Che Linfang, and was about to meet Che Linfang, but...
Bang! ! !
The bloody mist exploded from the body of the girl who was always with Che Linfang.
Zhang Xiaoli reveals the true identity of the demon!
Bang! !
One palm.
Just a palm.
Biao Zhengzhi flew backwards, vomiting blood, and did not know whether he was alive or dead.
“Eat that guy’s body.”
Zhang Xiaoli left these words and followed Che Linfang into the Changhua Studio.
……
Above the tall buildings.
“You two, you seem to have a great time killing.”
His left foot stepped on Liu Qianhu’s long sword.
His right foot stepped on Su Qianhu's long sword.
Fang Yu stood on the swords of the two men like a light paper painting.
[Liu Shangfeng: 1030/1155. 】
【Speed Double Happiness: 997/1089. 】
And his blood volume is...
[Life: 27108/27108. 】
There is a kind of... numerical beauty.
Fang Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, grinned, and smiled.
At this time, Liu Qianhu and Su Qianhu finally reacted.
“Who is that! Wearing a bull-head mask and sneaking around!”
Su Qianhu drew his sword to strike, but it struck the air.
His sword is very fast and he rarely misses, but this time, he seemed to have miscalculated.
It is a shame to have your sword stepped on.
Su Qianhu's one eye was red and he glared angrily at the person coming, but he heard Liu Qianhu muttering next to him.
“It turns out... the Red Bull at the bonfire party is actually someone from within the Yudi Mansion!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the two-color ink demon and the three demons also reacted.
The long poem about the canvas demon and the ghost fire demon, I don’t know who it is, but the two-color ink demon has already blurted out excitedly.
"Lord Blood Demon!"
The words just finished.
“What?!”
The long-poem canvas demon and the ghost fire demon widened their eyes in an instant, and both looked at Fang Yu, who had only his back in front of Luo Zaisan demon.
This person is rumored to be the strongest in Fairy Tail... the Blood Demon? ! !
What? ! !
Su Qianhu and Liu Qianhu also shrank their pupils and looked at each other subconsciously.
He...is the Blood Demon? ?
Red Bull, one of the ten top executives of the Bonfire Party, turns out to be our coordinator, Blood Demon!
Today... we will all die in his hands!
Two thousand households climbed up from the bottom after all, and quickly suppressed their emotions, but their eyes inevitably began to be firmly locked on Fang Yu.
"Who is the Blood Demon Demon...or Red Bull?"
"He wears the Inspector on his waist, which shows that his position should be that of the Inspector in the Third Hall."< br>
"There are three teams in one class. One team is divided into five mates and ten alternates. Each captain, deputy corps, alternate deputy corps, and the number of patrol officers under his name vary. If we really want to investigate, it is really hard to say."
" There is also a possibility that the patrol badge was taken from a dead person in order to fake a shot and deceive others."
"No, it's the last dance. What else do you want to investigate? After today, I will. The Liu family can enjoy prosperity and eternal peace! Those dirty transactions can also be completely washed away..."
"Father, I did it. I didn't lose the Liu family's face. There is only one last step left! "
Suppressing his thoughts, Liu Qianhu clenched the knife in his hand.
Just as he was about to take a step forward, he saw the blood demon suddenly stretched out his hand and waved.
“You two, come together?”
Come together?
As soon as these words came out, Liu Qianhu and Su Qianhu were still fine.
The two-color ink demon and three other demons behind were anxious first.
"Lord Blood Demon, no! Those two people are Qianhu! Their strength is extraordinary. They are not ordinary Qianhu masters. They are also top-notch among Qianhu!"
"Sir Blood Demon, you Are you crazy? These two are monsters. Don’t anger them!” It’s a one-on-one challenge!”
The three of them started shouting, which showed no grace at all, and Fang Yu even felt a little embarrassed.
And at this moment.
Liu Qianhu, moved.
He was not motivated by Fang Yu, he just wanted the last dance to be more gorgeous and the curtain call to be more beautiful.
At least, show what you have learned throughout your life, and then die generously!
The knife is still the same knife.
But the hand holding the knife was shaking, shaking at a high frequency!
That is not fear, trembling with fear, but the realm of 'qi'.
He is here, playing with the air.
The pattern of Qi and the flow of Qi throughout his body are undergoing subtle changes!
If it were before, Fang Yu would never have been able to tell.
But after learning [Spring Bud Kung Fu], Fang Yu could barely understand the trick.
The energy around Liu Qianhu's body became thicker and denser, and just when Fang Yu felt like he was about to see something...
"One hundred cuts!"
Seven thousand words is the limit of human beings !
