Chapter 73: Flying Knife with Golden Light
Given the current situation, Yang Qing didn't dare to jump down and fight the scaly-clawed beasts head-on. Once he landed on the ground, he would definitely be besieged by six scaly-clawed beasts.
Even though he had mastered the Golden Light Seal and had a certain degree of defensive power, if he was hit by three or four claws at the same time, the Golden Light Seal would probably be dispersed.
But if they stayed on the tree like this, it would only be a matter of time before the tree was knocked down by the scaly-clawed beasts below, with their momentum.
Since we can't force it, we can only think of a way.
Yang Qing jumped from where he was lying to a slightly lower branch. The branch was about three or four meters above the ground, just close to the attack limit of the scaly-clawed beast.
Although this scaly-clawed beast has not yet developed any intelligence and fights entirely based on instinct, it is not completely without wisdom.
At this moment, surrounding Yang Qing, some scaly-clawed beasts would circle behind Yang Qing from time to time, and then pounce on the tree fiercely.
This scaly-clawed beast could leap nearly two meters high. Although it could not climb trees, it could still attack Yang Qing by grabbing onto the tree trunk with its sharp claws and using the force.
If Yang Qing was careless, he might even be pulled down by the other party.
At this moment, Yang Qing's lowering of altitude immediately made the scaly-clawed beasts realize that there was a possibility of knocking each other down. Several of them gave up hitting the tree and began to look for opportunities to sneak attack Yang Qing.
This also greatly reduces the frequency with which they hit large trees, slightly prolonging the time it takes for the trees to fall.
"The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi, the golden light appears quickly, protecting my body."
The golden light appears!
Yang Qing lay on the tree trunk and quickly formed seals. As he chanted the incantation, a layer of golden light emerged from inside to outside, as if he had been coated with a layer of gold film.
At this time, several scaly-clawed beasts seized the opportunity and quickly pounced on Yang Qing from all around. One of them even used its hind legs to gain leverage on the tree and jumped a few inches higher than usual.
The scaly-clawed beast clenched its front paws and slapped horizontally, trying to knock Yang Qing down with one claw.
Yang Qing was not vague either. He quickly took out a special flying knife from his waist with his right hand. Under the nourishment of the golden seal, the flying knife seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.
With a snap, the flying knife covered in golden light instantly became much more lethal. Yang Qing threw the flying knife into the forehead of the scaly-clawed beast with his backhand.
With a wail, the scaly-clawed beast turned into a puff of black smoke in mid-air, leaving only a filthy bead that fell to the ground.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several more flying knives shining with golden light were thrown out by Yang Qing.
With the blessing of the Golden Light Seal, although this Scaled Claw Beast was named Scaled Claw and its scales had a strong defensive power, it was still stabbed to the bottom by Yang Qing's flying knife.
In an instant, another scaly-clawed beast was stabbed in the forehead and died instantly, turning into black smoke.
The battle situation was good, but the reason why this evil spirit was called evil was because its body was transformed by evil energy and it did not feel pain or fear like ordinary creatures.
Therefore, although the other evil spirits were also hit by the flying knives, they did not reduce their ferocity at all and still maintained their strong attack power.
As the noise of the battle spread here, three more scaly-clawed beasts were attracted by the sound soon.
The more we fight, the more evil spirits there are on the battlefield.
As time went by, two more evil spirits were stabbed in the forehead and disappeared, and almost all the remaining scaly-clawed beasts had flying knives stuck in their bodies, but they were all away from the head and neck and other vital parts.
To shoot these swift scaly-clawed beasts in the dark and hit their vital points directly was still somewhat difficult with Yang Qing's current proficiency in the Tang Sect's Flying Knife Technique.
After all, the skills learned through perception only mean that you once knew them.
But now he has a new body, and the flying knife technique requires extremely sophisticated skills, so Yang Qing is not able to kill with one strike for the time being.
So after a while, there were only three left in Yang Qing's hand out of the set of sixteen throwing knives. If he continued shooting like this, Yang Qing would probably be out of throwing knives in his hand in a short while.
"Master Jishui Xingjun, are you just going to stand by and watch? Please at least help us!"
Yang Qing looked up and said to Mo Guang who was lying on the top of the tree.
"Oh! You're thinking of me now. You didn't think of me when you found the Filthy Trace Orbs. I hunted them all myself."
"It all depends on your ability! Isn't it nice to make a living on your own? Besides, I need the Filthy Trace Pearl myself, otherwise where did you come from?
If I can deal with all these scaly-clawed beasts by myself later, you won’t get a single Filthy Trace Pearl.”
"Hmph! How do you want me to help you?
Let me make it clear first, if I say I want to fight five people at once, don't ask for anything. I'm too old to do such a risky job.
And I have already said that as long as I take action, I will take the lion’s share of these Filthy Trace Beads.”
"The division of the spoils is easy to discuss. You don't have to fight them head-on. You just need to go down and help me pick up the flying knives that were shot out.
I believe that with your speed as a Jishuibao, this little thing shouldn't be difficult for you."
Mo Guang pretended to be angry when he heard this, and said, "You are treating me like a knife boy, responsible for picking up flying knives for you!"
"Go quickly. You don't dare to do anything else. If you finish this, you will still have half of the filthy pearls. It's enough for you to chew for a while."
The dark light was silent for a moment, and then a black shadow swooped down from the tree and landed right on the place where the scaly-clawed beast that Yang Qing had shot dead before.
After Mo Guang landed, he first swallowed the Filthy Pearl dropped by the Scale-Claw Beast, and then picked up Yang Qing's flying knife.
The scaly-clawed beasts on the side saw Mo Guang coming and pounced on him, but were dodged by Mo Guang at an extremely fast speed.
Then he jumped a few more times along the tree and rushed to Yang Qing's side. After throwing the recovered flying knife to him, he pounced down again.
With the replenishment of ammunition, Yang Qing no longer needed to hold back. While attracting the scaly-clawed beast to attack him, he concentrated and threw out the flying knife.
With the cooperation of Yang Qing and Mo Guang, Yang Qing soon eliminated three more scaly-clawed beasts.
When there were only two evil spirits left, Yang Qing jumped directly down from the tree.
Miao Dao Gen Hu came with the wind and chopped the nearest scale-clawed beast into pieces with one sword, while the other one was also dealt with by Mo Guang.
In this battle, Yang Qing killed nine evil spirits in succession. Apart from consuming some true energy, he did not suffer any injury at all.
With Yang Qing and Mo Guang's current strength, if they fight one-on-one in close combat, they can easily and quickly eliminate the evil spirits within the first level.
But if it's one against two, there's a certain chance of getting hurt, and it'll take some effort.
If you add more, it will be impossible to defeat the opponent without suffering certain injuries.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Qing gave more than half of the Filthy Pearls to Mo Guang as agreed, leaving five in his hand.
Thinking about the battle just now, it was not safe to do this near the mine. If one was not careful, it might attract a large number of evil spirits. Anyway, he had enough evil beads now, so he did not plan to stay and started to rush to the first sentry tower.
