"Stone Brother!"

Just as the three burly men were still somewhat stunned, a crisp, joyful voice suddenly rang out.

The little girl had somehow scrambled to her feet and was now hugging the tall young man who had suddenly emerged from the boulder.

The little girl was already petite and delicate, her head only reaching the tall young man's waist. At this moment, a pair of small, fair hands were tightly wrapped around the young man's leg, her body mostly hidden behind him, a pair of watery eyes gazing up at the tall young man, darting around incessantly.

Hearing this, the burly men were once again taken aback, exchanging glances before focusing their attention back on the tall young man. Seeing that he showed no expression upon hearing the little girl's call, still staring blankly ahead, suspicion arose on their faces.

The little girl's heart tightened, and she shook the young man's leg with her small hands, her voice filled with sobs as she cried out loudly:

"Stone Brother, Le'er finally found you!... These bad people want to catch Le'er. Stone Brother, help me beat them!"

This time, the tall young man seemed to have heard the little girl's call, his head slowly lowering slightly.

The little girl looked up to meet the tall young man's gaze, only to find his eyes empty, causing her heart to sink once more.

However, this scene caught the attention of the three burly men, causing a jolt in their hearts.

They had already scanned the tall young man with their spiritual sense, but the person before them showed no signs of any magical power. There were two possibilities for this situation: either the person was truly just an ordinary mortal without any cultivation, or the person possessed a special secret technique or magical artifact to conceal their power.

And from the strange circumstances of the young man's appearance, coupled with the little girl's constant calls of "Stone Brother," the three men faintly felt that the other party was likely the latter, perhaps even a demon clan member.

The Taoist priest surnamed Qi draped his horsetail whisk over his arm, his gaze darting back and forth between the tall young man and the little girl, his eyes rolling, unsure of what he was thinking.

The horse-faced man had also withdrawn his right hand, unconsciously taking a step back to return to the burly man and the Taoist priest surnamed Qi. His left hand, hidden in his sleeve, secretly clutched something, his eyes fixed on the little girl.

"May I ask how you are called? I am Yan Cheng of the Blood Blade Society. I am joining forces with these two fellow Taoists to capture this fox demon. If you are not involved in this matter, please leave on your own accord," the burly man asked tentatively after exchanging glances with his two companions.

Hearing this, the little girl became anxious, looking at the tall young man with pleading eyes.

The tall young man slowly raised his head, looking at the burly man blankly, without uttering a single word.

A hint of anger flashed in the burly man's eyes, but he did not act out. He repeated his previous words, raising his voice slightly.

The little girl opened her mouth slightly, not saying anything, but the small hand grabbing the tall young man's pants was covered in fine cold sweat, making her palm feel faintly damp.

The tall young man still showed no reaction.

"This person is so suspicious, it seems there really is a problem. Instead of wasting time here, we should..." the horse-faced man whispered to the two beside him, his lips barely moving.

"Within a radius of ten thousand miles, anyone who can remain so calm after hearing the name of the Blood Blade Society is either incredibly powerful or truly foolish. In any case, he is harboring a demon, so no one will say anything if we kill him. Of course, the decision is up to Fellow Taoist Yan," the Taoist priest surnamed Qi narrowed his eyes and whispered to the other two.

"So, you are looking down on the three of us!" The burly man nodded slightly, his eyes gradually turning cold, weighing the chopper in his hand, and suddenly shouted.

The shout was loud and resonated in the wilderness, causing the nearby air to hum.

Hearing this, the little girl's face showed fear, and she unconsciously let go of the young man's pants, tightly clutching her rattle drum.

The tall young man was as deaf, showing no reaction to the burly man's words.

"Very well, since you insist on being with that demon girl, then... attack!" A fierce glint flashed in the burly man's eyes, and a large patch of blinding white light suddenly appeared on the chopper in his hand, making it impossible to look directly at. The other hand suddenly raised.

A streak of black light flashed and disappeared, but after a spin in the air, it turned into a large black net descending.

The little girl was shocked and hurriedly retreated a few steps, but unfortunately, she was too close and could not escape in time.

The net descended like black clouds and suddenly closed, instantly covering her and the tall young man. At the same time, a burst of cold light appeared within the net, and a silver hook appeared on each knot, looking sharp and cold.

The little girl screamed and spat a mouthful of blood mist onto the rattle drum in her hand, twisting her wrist at the same time.

Dong!

A crisp rattle drum sound rang out, and a green light flashed on the little girl's body. Her figure blurred and collapsed, turning into a piece of dead wood.

Plop!

Ten feet away, the little girl's figure flashed and appeared, then fell to the ground, her hands and feet injured by the barbs of the black net, creating a dozen wounds from which blood gushed.

She barely managed to get up with a roll, but after taking only one step, her body weakened and she fell to the ground again, her face pale, gasping for breath.

At this time, the burly man did not bother to look at the little girl, who could only await her death. Instead, he pinched a magic formula with one hand, and the black net wrapped around the tall young man suddenly tightened.

At the same time, a sound of air being torn apart rang out beside him. The Taoist priest surnamed Qi had jumped into the air, flicking his wrist. More than a dozen green lights shot out, but it was more than a dozen crystalline flying needles that shot towards various parts of the young man's body like lightning.

"Be careful!"

The little girl, who could not get up in the distance, could only scream again when she saw this.

Ding ding ding!

A sound of metal clashing rang out. When those cyan flying needles touched the tall young man's body, they all bounced away, as if they had been stabbed into a stone.

"How is that possible?" The Taoist priest surnamed Qi, who had landed lightly, exclaimed in disbelief.

Even if the other party was really a stone, it should have been easily penetrated by these flying needles.

"Whoosh"

A golden light suddenly flew out from the Taoist priest's side, and after a flash, it was firmly nailed into the tall young man's throat.

"Hehe, after taking my Golden Bee Stinger, it will be difficult not to die..." The horse-faced man on the other side slowly lowered his raised arm, sneering repeatedly.

But before he could finish speaking, with a "boom," the golden cone nailed to the young man's throat exploded on its own, and the fragments turned into golden specks of light and fell.

"Impossible"

The expression on the horse-faced man's face was as if he had seen a ghost.

The burly man also stared at the tall young man's body, his face filled with disbelief.

The hooks in the black net, which were enough to tear iron, were hanging on the young man's body, but they could not penetrate his skin at all.

Just as the three were horrified, the young man finally reacted a little after the series of attacks.

He slowly lowered his head, looked at the things hanging on his body, seemed to find them a little cumbersome, and with a move of his arm, all ten fingers grabbed the black net wrapped around his body at the same time.

Chila!

After the surface of the black net burst out with clusters of spiritual light, it was torn open like paper, and fell to the ground in two pieces.

Seeing this, the horse-faced man and the Taoist priest surnamed Qi almost had their eyes popped out.

Not far away, the little girl also opened her mouth wide, completely unaware of the pain in her body.

"You... you dare to destroy my magic weapon!" The burly man roared at the sight, his heart bleeding.

This black net was a treasure he had borrowed from a friend in the association at a great cost. Today, it was inexplicably destroyed here, how could he not be shocked and angry.

The burly man gritted his teeth and looked at the tall young man. He pinched his fingers, and a purple talisman appeared out of thin air at his fingertips. With a wave of his hand, he chanted a spell, and the talisman immediately flew out, passing over the tall young man's head.

With a "poof" sound, the talisman shattered, turning into a thick black lead cloud.

Accompanied by the sound of thunder, a flash of light appeared in the black lead cloud, and a silver arc as thick as a bowl fell from the black cloud.

With a loud "boom."

The thick arc struck the tall young man directly, and countless arcs scattered and ejected, directly striking the surrounding ground, creating shocking black pits.

The little girl was frightened and closed her eyes in the roar of thunder. She did not know where she got some strength from, and moved backwards a few steps, supporting herself with her hands on the ground, barely avoiding a few aftershocks of lightning.

As a result, when she opened her eyes with lingering fear, her mouth opened and closed, almost biting her tongue again.

The tall young man stood quietly on a pitted ground, but there was not even a trace of injury on his body.

Although the burly man was shocked, his hands did not stop moving. He quickly chanted words and pinched the magic formula in his hand.

"Bind!"

After another silver arc fell in mid-air, it suddenly changed, intertwined and entangled, turning into thunder and lightning chains, which quickly wrapped around the tall young man's body, binding him tightly.

"Two fellow Taoists, when will you wait if not now!"

The burly man roared, and the chopper in his hand moved horizontally in front of him. Suddenly, a layer of red light emerged from the object in his hand, and his body lunged forward, slashing at the tall young man's face with both man and knife.

The horse-faced man was also surprised that the power of thunder and lightning could not hurt the young man. Seeing this situation, he was overjoyed. He pinched a magic formula with one hand, and his body suddenly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared on the spot.

The next moment, on the side of the tall young man, a gust of wind rolled up, and the horse-faced man flashed out of it, holding a black iron ruler in his hand, with a few white runes flashing on the surface, and smashed it towards the tall young man's shoulder with a gust of evil wind.

The Taoist priest surnamed Qi's eyes flickered. He did not rush out with the two of them, but took two steps back and waved his hand. A ball of blood light flew out of his sleeve, and quickly circled around in mid-air, silently smashing towards the back of the tall young man's head.

Although the three men attacked at different times, they cooperated seamlessly, obviously not the first time they had joined forces.

The tall young man's eyes were dull, standing still, as if he did not see the attack in front of him at all.

Seeing this, the burly man's eyes flashed with joy, and he unconsciously added three points of strength to the knife he slashed out.

But the next moment, he suddenly felt his wrist tighten, and he was firmly grasped by a steel-like hand. Not only could the chopper no longer fall, but the rushing figure also stopped abruptly, unable to move forward half a point.

The tall young man stretched out an arm, grabbing his wrist with five fingers like hooks. The movement was so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

The burly man tried his best to pull back, but it was like being rooted, unable to shake the other party's arm at all. His heart was first cold, but a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Bang"

"Puff"

The horse-faced man's iron ruler and the Taoist priest surnamed Qi's blood-colored light group arrived almost at the same time, hitting the tall young man's shoulder and the back of his head, one blooming with dazzling black light, and the other shattering directly like porcelain, turning into a large cloud of thick blood mist that enveloped the young man's entire head, while emitting a pungent stench that made people want to vomit.

"Haha"

The horse-faced man had just laughed out loud, but the next moment, he felt his five fingers heat up, and an unspeakable, tsunami-like force burst out from the tall young man's body, passing along the iron ruler to his body.

"No"

The horse-faced man showed a look of horror, only had time to say one word, his body could not help but fly out backwards, landed far away, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds in his body, he did not know how many bones were broken, and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spewed out of his mouth.

The whole person was like a tattered sack with holes, completely out of breath.

"Impossible, you... ah..."

The burly man was shocked, but before he could take any remedial action, the five fingers grasping his wrist just shook, and strange vibrations came, causing his whole body bones to shatter instantly, and the pain was like being cut into pieces, causing the burly man to let out an extremely shrill scream. .

With a "swoosh" sound.

The burly man involuntarily soared into the air and was thrown hard at a boulder not far away.

"Boom"

In the burly man's screams, his entire body burst open on the boulder, turning into a pile of minced meat.

This series of actions was like lightning, just a moment's thing.

The Taoist priest surnamed Qi's face turned ashen after watching all this. He suddenly turned around, slapped five or six talismans of various colors on his body, and ran away frantically in the direction he came from.

But he only had time to run a few steps when he felt the surrounding air suddenly tighten, and the several protective spiritual lights on his body flashed and disappeared. Then the whole body "bang" a sound, as if toy was blown up out of thin air by what invisible giant thing, turned into sky blood rain, flesh and blood flew.

With a "whoosh" sound.

The thick blood mist shrouded on the tall young man's head, turned into wisps of blood and merged into his mouth, revealing all of his wooden face again.
