Chapter 266



Chapter 266

Just as they were about to enter the village to rest, a mysterious woman appeared in front of them. She wore a tassel headdress and a loose robe, looking very mysterious.

"Are you Taibao?" The woman's voice was gentle and deep.

Li Keyong walked out of the crowd and stared at the woman sharply, "We are Taibao, who are you?"

The woman smiled, "I am Liu Yueying, and the world calls me a witch."

The Taibao exchanged some glances with each other. They had heard about the deeds of the witch and were not unfamiliar with it.

Li Keyong remained alert, "Why did you come to us?"

Liu Yueying smiled and explained, "I know you need strength to fight against Hongying, I can make exorcism drugs for you."

The Taibao looked puzzled. They knew that the power of exorcism could fight evil, but they were not sure whether they could trust this witch.

Wang Ziming asked sternly, "Why should we believe you?"

Liu Yueying chuckled, "I understand your doubts, but I can give you a proof."

After that, she took out a small cloth bag filled with herbs of different colors. "These are four rare herbs, each of which has the power of exorcism. The medicine made from them can drive away the evil power."

Li Keyong frowned slightly, thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, we believe you. But if there is any conspiracy, you can wait to bear the consequences."

Liu Yueying smiled and nodded, "I understand. I will serve you loyally."

Liu Yueying explained the herbs to the guards one by one, and instructed them how to use and prepare the medicine correctly. The guards listened to the instructions and carefully wrote down every detail.

After some efforts, under the guidance of Liu Yueying, Li Keyong successfully made an exorcism medicine. This medicine has a powerful power to eliminate the evil breath, thereby enhancing the power of the guards.

The Taibaos accepted the drug test and quickly felt the weakening of the evil power in their bodies, while their energy was restored.

Zhao Ruiping said excitedly: "This drug is really amazing. We can finally fight against Hongying better!"

Li Keyong smiled and looked at Liu Yueying gratefully, "Thank you, Liu Yueying. Your help means a lot to us."

Liu Yueying politely declined the Taibaos' thanks, "I just did my best. Now, I will leave here and continue my journey. I hope you can succeed."

The Taibaos watched Liu Yueying leave. Her appearance brought them new hope and strength.

As night fell, the Taibaos were ready in Shatuo Village, ready to set out again to chase Hongying and embark on a new journey for the country and the people.

In Shatuo Village, the Taibaos were ready to embark on a new journey. Their hearts were full of determination to fight and desire for victory.

Li Keyong led the guards out of the village gate. Under the dark night, they looked like aThe cheetah hiding in the shadows was ready to hunt the evil dragon.

Suddenly, a hurried call came from behind. "Wait!"

The Taibaos immediately stopped and turned around to find a young man running towards them. He exuded an anxious and determined breath.

"You...you are the Taibaos, right?" The young man panted with sweat on his forehead.

Li Keyong looked at the young man vigilantly, "Yes, we are the Taibaos. What do you want?"

After panting for a while, the young man lay on his knees and tried to recover his breath. "Please...please help me save my family! They were captured by Hongying!"

The Taibaos looked at each other. They knew that their plan to chase Hongying might be delayed at this moment, but they could not ignore the request of a person whose family was trapped.

Li Keyong made up his mind and looked at the young man, "Tell us what happened."

After taking a breath, the young man told the guards that his family was attacked by the red shadow, captured and imprisoned in a castle. He begged the guards to help him rescue his family.

The guards looked at each other and said they would help the young man first. "We will not give up anyone who needs help! Take us to the castle."

The guards and the young man set out on a new journey and ran towards the castle. They crossed the dense forests and mountains, and slept in the open air all the way. Every moment of time is precious to them. They must find their captured family members as soon as possible and eliminate the red shadow.

Finally, they stepped into the castle, and a cold breath hit them.

Li Keyong looked at the huge body of the castle vigilantly and frowned. "This castle looks unusually quiet, but we can't take it lightly."

Zhao Ruiping quietly pulled the bowstring, ready to respond to any emergency at any time. "Everyone stay alert, we are approaching quietly."

The guards approached the castle secretly, moving quickly and accurately, as silent as ghosts.

As soon as they stepped into the castle, a dark energy attacked, and the guards felt their whole bodies tightened, as if their bodies were nailed in the air.

"This is... evil magic!" Li Keyong's face changed, and he immediately circulated his true energy to resist.

The other guards also reacted quickly, adjusting their breathing to deal with the evil power.

Suddenly, a group of black-clothed men came from all directions, fully armed and murderous.

Zhang Si De held his spear tightly, ready to fight, "Red Shadow's men! Everyone be careful!"

The guards fought fiercely with the black-clothed men, intertwining mercilessly. The sound of sword light, knife shadow, and fists hitting flesh resounded throughout the castle.

Li Keyong endured the invasion of evil energy, his whole body burst into inspiration, and the man in black fell down while he waved his two guns.

Li Sizhao, the big knife, swung his huge knife and repelled the enemy with thunder.

Li Siming, the double hammer, smashed the enemy with his double hammers, and each blow was shocking.

Wang Ziming swung his long sword, and the sword light splashed, cutting off the attack of the man in black.

Zhang Side held a longThe spear stabbed at the enemy, and each stab hit the target accurately.

Zhao Ruiping pulled the bowstring to its full extent, and the arrow shot out like lightning, hitting the vital point of the man in black.

In the bloody rain, the Taibaos were full of fighting spirit, and the enemy was gradually at a disadvantage.

"Put down your weapons!" A cold voice resounded through the hall.

The Taibaos looked back and saw a masked man standing deep in the castle. He was wearing a black robe and holding a sword that flashed with cold light in his hand.

"Hongying..." Li Keyong stared at the eyes under the mask.

Hongying was silent, but his cold eyes conveyed his determination. Behind him, a cage held the captured villagers, who looked at the Taibaos helplessly.

The Taibaos understood Hongying's intentions deeply. "We won't let you succeed!"

As the fierce battle continued, the Taibaos and Hongying had a more intense duel. They tried their best to defeat Hongying and save the people who were captured.

The battle became fierce, and the Taibaos fought fiercely with Hongying.

Li Keyong changed his body continuously and flexibly avoided Hongying's attack. "Hongying, your conspiracy is doomed to fail!"

Hongying sneered, the sword light flashed, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes. "You Taibao are just paper tigers, I will destroy you all!"

Big Knife Li Sizhao jumped up and chopped off a shocking blow. "You are not worthy of being called the savior, you are just a selfish evil star!"

Double Hammer Li Siming wielded his double hammers with amazing power, and each hammer was earth-shaking. "We are Taibao who protect justice, and we will never let you succeed!"

Wang Ziming waved his long sword, and the sword wind was sharp, like a dragon soaring. "Hongying, do you think you are invincible? We will teach you a lesson!"

Zhang Si De held a spear in his hand, his eyes like lightning: "Villagers, trust us, we will protect you!"

Zhao Ruiping pulled the bowstring to its full extent, silently saying in his heart: "This arrow will decide the outcome!"

Every moment of the battle was full of danger and tension. Sword light, fist shadow, hammer strike, bow and arrow, all kinds of weapons intertwined to produce brilliant sparks. The enemy and us were evenly matched, and a desperate fight was performed in the castle.
