Chapter 251 Li Hu and Yang Zhong, saving people and destroying evil

“Ah Zhong, I’m injured, run first, don’t worry about me!”

In the outer valley, about a hundred meters away from the iron gate, Li Hu turned his head to look at Wu Xiong who was still approaching from behind, gritted his teeth, let go of Yang Zhong’s hand, and pushed him directly towards the iron gate, signaling him to escape quickly.

Just when Wu Xiong was slaughtering people, his legs were accidentally hit by the blue fire sword. Although they were not broken, they were covered with a layer of dew. As the temperature of the dew increased, his ability to move was almost completely lost.

If Yang Zhong hadn’t been supporting him, he would never have been able to get here.

The three young masters and all the cold-resistant level warriors have already run away. If they don’t speed up and escape, Wu Xiong will soon kill them.

Li Hu didn’t want to drag his brothers down. Seeing that Yang Zhong didn’t listen to his advice and tried to come back to support him, he immediately yelled, “Yang Zhong, run first. Otherwise, none of us will survive. Get out now!”

Yang Zhong just looked up at Li Hu, walked forward silently, carried him around the waist on his shoulders, and continued running towards the iron gate.

“Li Hu, when we became sworn brothers, we agreed to live and die together. We can either run together or die together. Stop talking nonsense!”

Hearing his brother Yang Zhong’s roar, Li Hu’s eyes suddenly turned red.

As the son of Li Xuantian and the third-generation direct descendant of Longshan, Li Hu has never enjoyed any proper direct descendant treatment since he was a child.

The reason is simple, because he is an illegitimate child.

His birth originated from an impulse of his father Li Xuantian when he was young.

More than 20 years ago, Li Xuantian led a team to destroy a medium-sized camp. His mother, Li Yuning, was the daughter of the leader of that small camp.

After being captured by Li Xuantian, Li Yuning naturally became Li Xuantian’s trophy, and what happened afterwards was a matter of course.

Li Xuantian had three wives in total, and eleven legitimate children, and countless maids like Li Yuning. As a result, he had even more illegitimate children like Li Hu, at least thirty.

Even his legitimate children rarely received Li Xuantian’s attention, let alone an inconspicuous illegitimate child like Li Hu.

Don’t even think about special treatment. In fact, because Li Xuantian’s status is too high and his wealth is too great, his three legal wives are worried that his illegitimate children will have some improper thoughts, and they often make things difficult for them and suppress them.

If any illegitimate child behaves too prominently, he may even be killed.

Growing up successfully in such an environment and becoming a digger who can go on expeditions with the camp, one can imagine the hardships Li Hu went through.

Since he was nine years old, he witnessed his mother Li Yuning being forced to death by the so-called Third Mother Zhu Rou. He has only hatred for Li Xuantian and Longshan.

If he had not met his good brother Yang Zhong that year, he would have either left Longshan or fought to the death with the nominal Sanniang Zhu Rou. Apart from these two dead ends, there were no other possibilities.

Yang Zhong’s father is also one of Longshan’s core cold-resistant archers, the archer Yang Fengping. Coincidentally or unfortunately, Yang Zhong is also an illegitimate child.

What is even more coincidental is that Yang Zhong’s mother was also forced to death by the principal wife. Because the principal wife was too powerful, Yang Fengping did not even dare to acknowledge Yang Zhong, his illegitimate son, and could only send him to a place in Longshan that specializes in raising orphans.

Because they had similar experiences, the two quickly established a friendship after they met. As they grew together in Longshan, from breaking through the logging realm together, to breaking through the digging realm, to joining the hunting team, and then to jointly forming a hunting team, their friendship gradually sublimated into an incomparably deep feeling.

Both of them were obsessed with revenge for their mothers. At the same time, they knew that if they stayed in Longshan, it would be difficult for them to break through to the Cold-Resistant Level because of their identities. So they had agreed long ago that as soon as they broke through to the limit of the Digging Realm, they would leave Longshan immediately and either go to Zhaoyang or find a giant camp that could help them break through to the Cold-Resistant Level.

“This time, as long as you kill enough enemies, you will be rewarded with beast blood!”

Thinking of what he heard before the expedition, Li Hu was filled with regret. If he had not been able to resist the temptation, he would not have fallen into such a dead end. Now not only would he die, but he would also drag his good brother Yang Zhong to death with him.

“Ah Zhong, how many pounds of basic strength do you have now?”

“Twenty-seven thousand, about the same as you, don’t you know that?”

After hearing Yang Zhong’s answer, Li Hu turned around and saw Wu Xiong who was only five or six meters away from him. He showed a look of determination, pushed Yang Zhong away first, and then turned around and pounced on Wu Xiong.

“Ah Zhong, if you can survive and break through to the Cold Resistance level, remember to avenge my mother. Also, help me check out the place I mentioned before.”

“Tiger, don’t!”

Seeing his good brother’s actions, Yang Zhong knew his intention very well. He immediately shouted in anger and turned around immediately to try to rescue him.

The feelings between the two seemed to be sublimated at this moment.

It’s a pity that Yang Zhong’s speed is still too slow.

At a distance of five or six meters, Li Hu turned around and pounced, directly in front of Wu Xiong. He almost went towards Wu Xiong’s blue flame sword.

His intention was very clear, which was to delay Wu Xiong for a moment to give Yang Zhong a chance to escape.

The moment he turned around, Li Hu immediately realized his naivety.

Takeo’s blue flame sword became stronger than before.

Those who were cut by the sword now not only have dewdrops growing on their wounds.

The dew drops on the wounds of those people quickly heated up and turned red, and were instantly ignited by the blue flames around Takeo’s body. Then the whole person was swallowed by the blue flames, and he let out desperate and painful screams.

The scene in Li Hu’s eyes at this moment was that every time Wu Xiong hit someone with his sword, a cluster or even multiple clusters of blue flames would immediately rise, and those blue flames would ignite the dew on the bodies of other people nearby.

Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…Boom…

As a result, the thousands of digging realms outside the valley were like matches waiting to be ignited, and Takeo was the bright flame, laughing crazily and madly setting everyone off.

How could Li Hu not despair in such a scene?

What he just thought was that he would risk his life to hold on to Wu Xiong, even if it was just to hold him for a breath or even half a breath. This way, Yang Zhong’s hope of escaping would be greater.

Only at this moment did he realize that he couldn’t even get close to Takeo.

As long as he got close, the dew on his legs would immediately ignite.

In fact, blue flames were indeed coming out of his legs at this moment.

laugh…………

The pain in his thigh surged into Li Hu’s mind, and he thought of his dead mother. His face was full of resentment. He had not yet avenged his mother; he had not fulfilled his mother’s last wish to visit her hometown, and he had not fulfilled his promise to his brother Yang Zhong to avenge him.

“Tiger!”

Yang Zhong’s roar reached his ears, and Li Hu no longer had the heart to worry about the safety of his good brother. He secretly thought that he would go first and closed his eyes.

Buzz…………

An ethereal and heavy voice came into his mind, and the pain in his thigh completely disappeared. Li Hu, who thought he was dead, first showed an expression of relief, then he opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him, and was filled with shock.

He was not dead and was still standing there.

And the blue flame on the legs disappeared.

Not only him, but also many people around him, including the blue flames on many corpses in the entire valley, all disappeared in an instant.

boom…………

A huge four-legged tripod in a light golden color suddenly fell from the sky and slammed to the ground with a loud bang. The tripod became seven meters long, and dozens of cold beast patterns were engraved on the four sides of the square tripod. Inside the tripod, a flame several meters high was burning fiercely, and the flames completely illuminated the entire valley.

The eyes of all the survivors were drawn to it.

“Where did this tripod come from?”

Huh… This question also popped up in Li Hu’s mind subconsciously.

But he immediately realized that he shouldn’t care about this issue at the moment.

Because Takeo was right in front of him.

The moment Wuxiong saw the giant tripod appear, his expression was a little panicked, but he reacted quickly, as if realizing that he had to kill more people, and immediately rushed into the crowd in front.

Among the crowd in front of him, the first to be hit was Li Hu.

call…………

The only blue flame still burning in the whole place might be Wu Xiong and the big knife in his hand. The terrifying blade slashed towards him, and Li Hu subconsciously turned around and ran away, but due to his leg injury and Wu Xiong’s terrifying speed, he had no possibility of escape at all.

Still going to die!

clang…………

A thin and long knife suddenly blocked Li Hu’s way.

The moment the long sword came into contact with the blue flame, the shock wave formed caused the snow on the ground to spread out for more than ten meters in all directions. Even if there was no contact, the terrifying impact force would have blown Li Hu away more than ten meters, and he directly hit Yang Zhong and was pushed to the iron gate with him.

Li Hu hurriedly turned his head to look at the place he was just at, his eyes suddenly fixed.

The owner of the long sword was tall and dressed in black silk, and it was obvious that he was no ordinary person; the thin and narrow straight sword in his hand was at least 1.7 meters long and looked a little unbelievable; he held the sword with both hands, and it collided violently with Wu Xiong’s blue fire sword, and the strength of the sword actually formed a stalemate with Wu Xiong.

No, not just a stalemate!
The blue flame attached to Takeo’s sword actually turned into a normal yellow flame under the resistance of the ceremonial sword in the black-clothed man’s hand.

Moreover, the yellow flame seemed to offset the blue flame.

It felt like a normal fire burning with a blue flame.

“It’s the man who was just killed by Li Xuanling and his men!”

If the first time the giant tripod saved him didn’t make Li Hu feel much, then the second time the man in black saved him, really made his face full of gratitude.

He recognized Xia Hong at a glance. Although Li Xuanling relied on the Longyou Army when he was suppressing the enemy, Li Hu also saw it from the side.

“It’s that gentleman, I think his name is Xia Hong, the leader of Da Xia!”

Li Xuanling brought so many cold-resistant soldiers and thousands of Longyou troops, but failed to successfully kill those people. Not to mention Li Hu, Yang Zhong also remembered it clearly.

“It’s that gentleman. I remember him too.”

“Is that big tripod also his?”

“He’s here to save us?”

“How is it possible? The young master just led people to kill him. How could he come to save us?”

“Then why did he attack Takeo?”

………………

Not only Li Hu and Yang Zhong, most of the thousands of people in the valley also recognized Xia Hong. Looking at the stalemate between Xia Hong and Wu Xiong, they were full of confusion, but also had some anticipation in their eyes.

Most of those present at this moment were diggers from Longshan and Zhaoyang.

Li Xuanling and Hou Tong had already fled with all the cold-resistant soldiers. They were already filled with despair, so when they saw Xia Hong, they naturally became excited.

“What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and run to the southwest. Someone will pick you up!”

Their expectations came true.

After hearing what Xia Hong said, most people’s eyes were full of surprise, and they turned around and ran out of the iron gate without thinking; a small number of people looked at Xia Hong, thinking of what had just happened, and their expressions were a little complicated, but considering that saving their lives was the most important thing, they quickly ran out of the iron gate.

“Thirty Manes, you’re almost catching up with me. If I let you continue to kill…”

Xia Hong saw that the man had started to run out of the iron gate. He turned to look at Wu Xiong in front of him. A gleam of light flashed in his left eye. He sneered, and before he could finish his words, he drew his sword swiftly and chopped directly at his head.

call out…………

The slender ceremonial sword, combined with Xia Hong’s terrifying strength, made a sound like a speeding needle and instantly struck Wu Xiong’s head.

clang…………

Wu Xiong hastily raised his sword to block, and although he successfully protected his head, there was no smile on his face. Instead, his expression became even more solemn.

laugh!
As soon as the blue flame on the broadsword touched Xia Hong’s ceremonial sword, the normal flame rose again, and the flame burned more and more vigorously, gradually replacing the original blue flame on his broadsword.

Not only the sword, but also the blue flame on his body was suppressed smaller and smaller.

Wu Xiong looked up and met Xia Hong’s gaze. Seeing the mockery in Xia Hong’s eyes, anger rose on his face and his gaze suddenly focused.

laugh…………

He actually put away his sword and let Xia Hong chop him with it.

How could Xia Hong miss such a godsend opportunity? He tightly grasped the Dragon Sparrow Knife, which was coated with fire oil, in both hands and chopped down suddenly, almost from the top of the head all the way to Wu Xiong’s lower body.

boom…………

Just like when Wu Xiong killed those ordinary Digging Realm just now, a cluster of blue flames would rise up with one cut. When Xia Hong cut down with the cut, flames also rose up from the part of Wu Xiong’s body that was cut, but it was not blue, but normal.

laugh!
A large amount of white smoke suddenly spewed out of Takeo’s body. At the same time, an extremely bloodthirsty and sinister laugh sounded from not far away.

However, this laughter did not last for three breaths.

It was interrupted by the sound of an iron arrow breaking through the air.

Whoosh……

Xia Hong held the divine arm bow in his hand and turned to look at Wu Xiong, who was more than a hundred meters away on the left and had reconstructed his body using the corpse on the ground. His eyes were full of coldness.

The iron arrow he had just shot had already pierced Wu Xiong’s forehead steadily. The fire-condensing oil on the iron arrow had obviously reacted violently with Wu Xiong’s body, causing black smoke to continuously emerge from his head, and later, flames gradually emerged from it.

“Ah…ah…”

Takeo, who was transformed by Bai Lu, finally stopped laughing.

This time, accompanied by the billowing of black smoke above its head, it let out a roar of extreme pain, and its eyes were filled with overwhelming hatred as it looked at Xia Hong.

“You can freely change your body among these corpses infected with dewdrops. It seems that your ability is much stronger than those monsters before. You almost became powerful. Unfortunately, you ran into my Eye of Delusion!”

Puff…Puff…Puff…

Xia Hong sneered and spoke while continuously shooting iron arrows dipped in fire-condensing oil with the Divine Arm Bow.

Every time an iron arrow pierced Wuxiong’s body, the flames on his body would grow larger. After dozens of iron arrows were shot, Wuxiong’s body had long been covered in flames. He could not say anything except roaring in intense pain.
