Chapter 332: Killing under the scorching sun
Subconsciously, Red Sparrow thought that these people were bandits. Li Tian had known that there would be a group of people lying in ambush here, and these bandits definitely didn’t understand Chinese.
However, things took a turn for the worse. After Li Tian finished speaking, a group of people emerged from the sand.
They needed a tool to hide in the sand, or they would have difficulty breathing.
Each of these people had a straw-like thing in their hands. Most importantly, they were all wrapped in golden clothes, not even revealing their heads.
They were only a few meters away from each other. Even in such hot weather, Li Tian could sense the murderous intent of these people.
As for the Vermilion Bird, it was obvious from her expression.
“You are from the divine temple!”
The Vermilion Bird recognized this group of people at a glance. After all, she had been in charge of the Dragon Soul for a long time and knew a lot about China, especially a few mysterious sects, which were the key targets.
However, her knowledge was very limited, and she only knew that these people were from the divine temple.
This wasn’t the first time Li Tian had heard of the divine temple. Di Ying had also told him that there was another name called the moving Moon Palace.
When the Miao stockaded village’s people stopped attacking, Di Ying was certain that Li Tian had some kind of relationship with the divine temple or the moving Moon Palace. When Li Tian sensed the divine temple’s hostility, he immediately understood that perhaps the people who had been secretly helping him were from the moving Moon Palace.
Please, the people from the divine temple were all here to kill him, why would they be so kind to help him?
All of them pulled out their Tang swords and charged at Li Tian.
The Tang sword was similar to the Japan Samurai sword, mainly because during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan was greatly influenced by China. They introduced the Tang sword technology from China and made some slight improvements to it, which made it a famous samurai sword.
The Tang sword was not very useful in individual battles, but it could unleash its greatest power in group battles.
The dozen of them were able to suppress Li Tian and red Sparrow with their auras alone.
“Retreat!”
Li Tian immediately shouted. He had sensed that there were people ambushing him, but he didn’t expect them to be so fierce. Each of these people was probably as strong as Vermillion Bird, and their cooperation must be very good. If he were to rush up, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
After hearing Li Tian’s words, the Vermillion Bird immediately started to retreat. Li Tian maintained his speed and blocked the Vermillion bird’s path. If the Vermilion Bird was caught, there would be no chance for him to retreat.
Even if it was just a small gesture, it was obvious that Li Tian wanted to protect the Vermilion Bird. Perhaps most men would want to run as far as they could at this moment.
However, Red Sparrow obviously didn’t think that way. She just felt that Li Tian’s actions made her feel good.
The two of them immediately retreated a few dozen meters, but it was unlikely that they would continue to retreat. In such an environment, the price they had to pay to run with all their might might be much greater than to fight directly.
After Li Tian saw that the distance between them had increased by two to three meters, he immediately made a move and placed the Vermilion Bird behind him. He then tried to face these people alone.
The speed of the Tang sword was extremely fast because the blade of the Tang sword was narrow, so there was not much resistance.
Li Tian had already pulled out his dagger and blocked one of the men’s attacks, while the other ten or so men slashed at him with all their might.
Li Tian was about to be cut into pieces. If he were to be cut, he would be cut into pieces.
However, at that moment, Li Tian’s entire body twisted at an unbelievable angle, and then he instantly ran behind the enemy.
Not only had he dodged his opponent’s attack, but he had also arrived at a very advantageous position.
Even if a human’s reaction speed was only one-twenty-fourth of a second, such a short period of time was more than enough for Li Tian.
His dagger had actually pierced through a person’s heart in such a short time.
He pulled it out, and blood splattered everywhere.
Before the Vermilion Bird could react, Li Tian had already dashed into the crowd like a silver snake and killed one of the enemies.
One second, he only had one second.
When Vermilion Bird, Azure Dragon, and the other three were fighting Li Tian, they had already felt that Li Tian was very powerful. However, they didn’t expect that Li Tian’s strength would increase so much in such a short time.
This kind of speed had never been seen before. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to kill one of the four great protectors in a second. Then, if they were to fight, the other three would only be crushed.
However, Li Tian’s strength seemed to be far more than that. At this time, Vermilion Bird had completely become a spectator. Li Tian was actually in the crowd, facing more than a dozen experts, and he didn’t seem to be inferior.
Even Li Tian himself was a little surprised. His strength and reaction speed had inexplicably increased by a lot.
The reason why he had retreated at the beginning was because he estimated that he wouldn’t be able to defeat this group of people with his previous strength. But now it seemed that the strength of this group of people was not as strong as he had imagined.
When he used his fingers to grab the Tang sword in the opponent’s hand, Li Tian could see the surprise in the opponent’s eyes.
Then, Li Tian forcefully twisted his fingers and directly snatched the Tang Dao from the other party’s hand. He then used his other hand to take the other party’s life with a dagger.
What happened next seemed to have turned into a one-sided massacre. There were more than a dozen people, but not a single one of them was able to hit Li Tian’s vital points. The only wound on Li Tian’s body was a cut on his sleeve, and it didn’t even hurt his skin.
This was because he didn’t manage to Dodge in time. After all, there were so many people. No matter how fast Li Tian’s reaction speed was, it would still take time.
The Vermilion Bird watched from the side. In the end, the two people from the divine temple realized that Li Tian couldn’t be killed, so they turned around and rushed toward the Vermilion Bird, wanting to take him as a hostage.
However, the Vermilion Bird wasn’t weak, and it wouldn’t be a problem for him to hold on for a minute or two. As a result, even after Li Tian had taken care of the rest of the people, the two of them still couldn’t take down the Vermilion Bird.
However, the Vermilion Bird was injured.
There was a large cut on his arm, and blood was flowing out in large amounts.
Seeing this, Li Tian immediately rushed over. Even though he was covered in blood, he wouldn’t allow anything to happen to the Vermilion Bird.
There were more than a dozen bodies lying under the 40-degree temperature. After only half an hour, the bodies started to smell.
Li Tian was busy bandaging the Vermilion bird’s wound and didn’t even look at the corpse.
He had already remembered this grudge with the divine temple. .
