Chapter 971 Chivalry
Struck by the thunder, the Yan Yao's figure immediately became sluggish.
Taking this opportunity, the Void Spirit Sword quickly caught up with the Yan Yao, and shuttled back and forth on the Yan Yao several times in a breath, cutting off all the main bones of the Yan Yao.
Accompanied by the sound of the Void Spirit Sword breaking through the air and the sound of bones breaking, the Yan Yao's body suddenly broke into several pieces and fell to the ground, and the red flames on his body were extinguished.
From Duan Qing's attack to the Yan Yao's fall, the whole process was only two or three breaths.
The three middle-aged monks who were struggling to support the island were completely unable to react at this time.
What happened?
This arrogant Yan Yao died just like that?
The faces of the three people were full of incredible expressions.
It was not until Duan Qing landed on the island that the three people reacted.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist, we are very grateful!"
One of the middle-aged men with a slightly older face reacted the fastest and quickly clasped his fists to thank Duan Qing.
The other two also wanted to apologize to Duan Qing, but before they could open their mouths, they suddenly looked behind Duan Qing, as if they had seen something incredible, and warned him in horror.
"Daoyou, be careful!"
"Be careful!"
Duan Qing looked back and was also a little surprised.
The Yan Yao, whose body was broken into several pieces, was now pieced together again, restoring its original shape, and even the flames on its skull were burning again.
Duan Qing frowned.
After all, it was a mission for the Earth-level sect, and this strange beast Yan Yao had some tricks.
After the Yan Yao recovered, it did not intend to attack Duan Qing and others, but let out a sharp whistle on the spot.
As the whistle sounded, the Yan Yao's body suddenly exploded, and the body was scattered into nearly a hundred flame bones, shooting in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Duan Qing immediately thought of the way that Black Stone turned into thousands of Yin Qi to escape.
Without any hesitation, he directly summoned all the virtual swords. Except for a few left around him as a precaution, the rest of the virtual swords chased all the flame bones, without missing a single flame bone.
Hundreds of invisible virtual swords cut through the sky, making bursts of air-breaking sounds, and quickly approached the flame bones.
Yan Yao's flame bones had just flown out a hundred feet when they were caught up by Duan Qing's virtual swords.
Perhaps knowing that they could not escape, just before the flame bones were about to be pierced by the virtual swords, almost all of the flame bones burst at the same time and turned into ashes.
For a while, nearly a hundred flame clouds ignited around the island, illuminating the nearby scenery as bright as day.
The flame cloud was only a flash, and soon it was shrouded in darkness again.
Duan Qing was a little irritated and recalled all the virtual swords.
At this time, he was surprised to find that a beast skull was inserted into one of the virtual swords.
Seeing the beast skull, Duan Qing's brows immediately relaxed and he smiled happily.
Fortunately, this most important skull did not explode.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to report back.
At this time, the three middle-aged cultivators on the island looked at Duan Qing with horror in their eyes.
From beginning to end, the three did not see clearly how Duan Qing made his move, and found that the flame bone of the flame monster was forced to explode.
Seeing Duan Qing put away the flame monster skull, the middle-aged man who had spoken before cautiously tried to test: "Daoyou, we are very grateful for your help. May I ask your name?"
Duan Qing put away all the virtual spirit swords, glanced at the three people, did not answer the middle-aged cultivator, but asked: "Who are you? Why are you here on Pinghu Island?"
The middle-aged man looked at the other two and explained: "I am Chen Ping, and these two are my younger brother Chen An and my younger sister Chen Ye. My three brothers and sisters are casual cultivators, and we have been traveling recently. When I passed Pinghu, I heard that there was a strange beast named Yan Yao causing trouble, so I came to investigate. "
Speaking of this, Chen An looked quite helpless: "Who would have thought that Yan Yao was so fierce and powerful, which made me laugh at you!"
Duan Qing smiled: "Haha, no, the three of you dared to take the risk to come here to eliminate demons and defend the way, which shows that you have a chivalrous heart and are admirable."
After that, Duan Qing introduced himself: "I am Duan Qing from the Shinto Sect, and I am honored to meet you three Taoists."
Hearing the name of the Shinto Sect, Chen Ping and the other two were obviously surprised and looked Duan Qing up and down.
"It turned out that you are a master of the Shinto Sect, no wonder it was so easy to kill the evil beast Yan Yao." Chen Ping said in panic.
The name of the Shinto Sect is known to everyone in the Central Plains, not to mention that it is in the territory of Shenzhou.
This time, the three brothers and sisters came to Shenzhou from afar, just to admire the reputation of the Shinto Sect and find an opportunity to join the Shinto Sect.
Of course, the three of them were not young after all, and they did not expect to enter the inner sect of the Shinto Sect. They only hoped to enter the outer sect of the Shinto Sect and become an outer sect disciple, which was better than wandering around in the Central Plains without a fixed place to live.
It was just that the three of them came at an unlucky time. It had only been about a year since the last entrance meeting of the Shinto Sect, and there were still almost two years before the next entrance meeting.
Helplessly, the three of them wandered around Shenzhou and spent their days.
This time they came to kill the Yan Yao, in fact, they mainly wanted to make a fortune from the spirit stones after killing the Yan Yao to solve the current dilemma of the shortage of spirit stones.
Who would have thought that they underestimated the Yan Yao and almost capsized in the gutter.
However, it was an unexpected surprise to meet Duan Qing, a genuine Shinto disciple, here.
If they could make friends with Duan Qing, it might help the three of them to enter the Shinto Sect.
Thinking of this, Chen Ping couldn't help but put on a friendly smile on his face, thinking about how to make friends with Duan Qing.
Duan Qing could see a little bit of Chen Ping's thoughts.
From the looks and words and deeds of Chen Ping's three siblings, he could see that they were not bad people, but they were just not doing well.
He had just seen clearly that the flying swords of the three people were only of the middle-grade spiritual treasure.
This was really shabby for the three cultivators in the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm.
To be honest, he had a little good impression of the three people.
The three people were born as casual cultivators, and it was not easy for them to cultivate all the way to the middle stage of the Spiritual Sea Realm and have a chivalrous heart.
Because he got the Yan Yao skull, Duan Qing was in a good mood. In addition, he had never met casual cultivators before, so he also wanted to chat with the three people.
"Three Taoist friends...!"
He had just said half of his words, but suddenly seemed to realize something, his face changed drastically, and he reminded the three people: "Be careful!"
While speaking, the Vermillion Bird Armor and Vermillion Bird Clothes on his body had already solidified one after another, completely protecting his body.
The three heard Duan Qing's reminder, but they had no idea what was going on. When they saw the Suzaku Armor and Suzaku Clothes on Duan Qing taking shape, they finally realized something and looked at the surrounding lake.
At some point, three water dragons several dozen feet long formed on the lake surface and roared towards the island.
The water dragons were so fast that Chen Ping and the other two had no time to react.
In the desperate eyes of the three, the water dragons roaring from three directions instantly submerged the center of the island, making a loud noise that shook the earth.
For a moment, soil and rocks flew, and the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked.
