166, Soul Eater 2/3
The crossbows of the five people under the city are small and delicate, and it doesn't seem to have much power depending on the size.
However, when they pulled the trigger, a blue light flashed on the crossbow machine, and the five crossbow arrows flew towards Chu Tianxing at an ultra-high speed that was only slightly higher than the speed of sound.
With this kind of flight speed, with a distance of just over ten meters above and below the city, Rao is Chu Tianxing's cultivation could not avoid it after the crossbow bolt was fired.
Fortunately, he has a gut feeling.
Long before the crossbow bolt left the string, he had already noticed it and moved in advance.
So the five extremely fast and powerful crossbow bolts just grazed his body with a single thud and shot into the air behind him.
Although Chu Tianxing practiced horizontal kung fu and took a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures to enhance his physique, not only his bones were like iron and steel, but his skin and muscles could also be as tough as steel when he exercised, but ......
Steel can also be destroyed.
Not to mention that his bones are just steel and iron bones, his skin and muscles need to be exercised to be as hard as steel, and the strength of his internal organs is only stronger than that of ordinary quasi-grand masters, even if he is made of stainless steel throughout his body and abroad, he can't afford to resist a solid punch from a true qi realm great grandmaster, and he can't even help a quasi-grand master like Tang Zhan to punch with all his strength according to the key points.
Not to mention the fact that there are so many extraordinary weapons that sharpen iron like mud, and firearms that can melt steel into molten iron.
Therefore, as a last resort, don't test your physical strength lightly.
A strong body is just to have more vigorous qi and blood, more energy, stronger endurance, and be able to cultivate and bear deeper internal force, true qi, and the inevitable huge countershock force when fighting against a strong enemy.
Of course, there are many benefits to a strong body in daily life......
After avoiding the five crossbow arrows, Chu Tianxing naturally wouldn't give the other party a chance to wind up again, jumped up from the head of the city, swooped down, and slapped down with a palm towards the handsome man standing at the front.
The handsome man threw down his crossbow, his right hand flew around his waist, and he pulled out a sword with a narrow and thin sword body, and the hilt of the sword had an extremely delicate flower-like cage hand, which was shaped like a Western "swift sword", and stabbed out a snow-bright and sharp sword light with a snort, and pointed at Chu Tianxing's palm like lightning.
This sword is extremely fast and accurately landed, showing the handsome man's extraordinary swordsmanship.
It's a pity that this person doesn't seem to have internal strength or other similar extraordinary strength, and the sword body is not attached to the sword qi, relying purely on extraordinary reaction and arm strength to make a sword, and relying on the sharpness of the one-handed sword itself to hurt the enemy.
This kind of swordsmanship may be effective against ordinary internal force realm martial artists.
But in front of Chu Tianxing, a quasi-great grandmaster, he still seemed too powerless.
Boom!
As soon as Chu Tianxing's palm exploded, the dragon shadow's palm power burst out, and with a bang, the tip of the handsome man's sword was deflected, causing the sharp sword light to just stick to his wrist and stab into the air.
The power of the dragon shadow's palm continued to end, like a golden dragon around a pillar, wrapped around the sword body like lightning in a reverse coil, and in an instant it wrapped around the handsome man's arm, twisting and shocking.
Click!
With the sound of bone cracking, the handsome man's entire arm, from the tips of his fingers to his shoulders, was twisted like twisted flowers, and the blood gushing out instantly stained his entire tattered and twisted arm.
Yes!
The handsome man's face was contorted, his arms were clutched, and he let out a terrible wail of pain.
Chu Tianxing smiled, landed on the ground, and slapped his backhand on the handsome man's back, sending a great mercy and heart-destroying palm.
The handsome man snorted, spewed out a stream of bloody arrows, fell to his knees on the ground, stunned for a moment, and then planted forward, with his head on the ground, and lost his breath in an instant.
If it weren't for the fact that there was Xue Ziwei, a Buddhist disciple watching the battle, with Chu Tianxing's means, how could he be so compassionate?
However, Xue Ziwei performed well today.
is worried that he will fall into the Shura Demon Dao, and he is giving him a lot of benefits, Chu Tianxing will also spoil his fans, and for the sake of her face, he will be a little more merciful.
As soon as the handsome man fought, he was instantaneous, and he failed to buy the four people in the rear time to wind the crossbow.
The four of them had no choice but to throw down their crossbows, draw out their swords that were almost identical to the handsome man's one-handed sword, and with agile steps, they besieged Chu Tianxing one after the other.
Snort!
In the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air, the three people who rushed in front of them slashed their swords at the same time, and the three snow-bright and sharp sword lights were like poisonous snakes separating Chu Tianxing's throat, heart, and lower abdomen.
Chu Tianxing chuckled, shook his head slightly, drew a circle with his right hand, and pushed it out with one palm.
Boom!
The air shook, causing a visible ripple of air, spreading out in all directions, rolling up snow all over the ground.
The three menacing sword lights were also shocked by the invisible palm power, deviated from the trajectory, and fell short one after another.
Without waiting for them to put away their swords and change their moves, a steel chain flew out of Chu Tianxing's left sleeve, held the tail of the chain with his backhand, and swept it horizontally.
There were three crisp sounds, and the three people's forearms folded into a straight ruler, and their one-handed swords fell to the ground, screaming and retreating backwards.
Chu Tianxing took a step forward, and the steel chain shook out a circle and put it on the neck of one of them, wanting to break his neck.
But at this moment, the man who was dragging behind rushed forward with an arrow and stabbed out with a one-handed sword.
When the sword came out, a little blue light appeared from the tip of the sword, and it struck the steel chain with a bang, and it actually broke the steel chain that was attached to Chu Tianxing's internal force.
Hey!
Chu Tianxing raised his eyebrows: "Extraordinary power?"
As he spoke, the person who pierced Chu Tianxing's steel chain with the sword rushed forward again, walking as graceful as an antelope, without losing his swift pace, and grabbed Chu Tianxing's flank in one step, and sneered at Chu Tianxing's ribs with a one-handed sword.
This sword is extremely fast, although in terms of moves, it is exactly the same as the previous four, but the speed of the sword is not more than three percent faster?
For an ordinary internal force realm fast swordsman, the speed of the sword is no more than that.
And when the sword came out, a little blue light condensed on the tip of the sword, so that before the sword touched Chu Tianxing's ribs, and when it was still half a foot away from his ribs, Chu Tianxing's ribs were silently broken.
Even his steel-tough skin muscles felt a tingling pain.
If it weren't for the toughness of his skin, I'm afraid he would have opened a bloody streak by this time.
"Is it your strength, or is it the power of your sword?"
Chu Tianxing said, running "Seeing the dragon in the field", the qi wave under the ribs exploded, and layers of protective energy surfaced, like golden dragon scales.
Clang!
The tip of the sword that condensed the blue light stabbed on the protective energy, splashing a spark, but it only barely pierced half an inch, and it stopped.
Seeing this, the man with the sword exclaimed:
"Spell shield?"
Just wait to draw your sword and retreat.
But how could Chu Tianxing let him go?
A new steel chain shook out from his hand, and it slammed into the man's sword-holding arm.
The man wanted to dodge.
But Chu Tianxing's draw seems to be random, but in fact, he uses the white python whip method, although the person's footwork is flexible, where can he dodge?
In vain, he changed his position several times in a row, and finally was drawn on the forearm by the steel chain, and with a snap, the forearm was broken and broken into a right-angle state.
The man still wanted to escape, but Chu Tianxing caught up with him in one step, and with another whip, the sharp cone-shaped chain head slapped on the knee of his left leg, directly smashing the kneecap.
The man fell to the ground, wailing in pain.
Chu Tianxing caught up with the three people who had been injured before, and each of them was whipped down, smashing their knees and knocking them to the ground.
After looking at the four people who were wailing on the ground for a while, Chu Tianxing turned his head and said to Xue Ziwei at the head of the city:
"Ziwei, you evade it a little. ”
Xue Ziwei nodded, turned around and went down the city wall.
Chu Tianxing looked at the four of them with a smile and said softly:
"Let's find out what you are......"
With a wave of his hand, the four injured and one corpse were all included in the Rubik's Cube space.
Xue Ziwei stood at the base of the wall, listening to the movement outside.
She had expected to hear the wails of torture next.
They are all ready to recite scriptures for Chu Tianxing to resolve their sins.
What I didn't expect was that not only did I not hear the movement of torture, but even the four people's painful wails stopped.
She was curious, she didn't know what means Chu Tianxing was using to concoct those four people.
But since Chu Tianxing didn't want her to know, as a well-behaved and obedient girl, no matter how curious she was, she could only endure it and wait here obediently.
Half an hour passed.
It was already dark, and the roar of the winter ghost could already be heard clearly, so Chu Tianxing jumped over the city wall and entered the castle.
"Tianxing, what did you ask? What are those five people?"
"Hmm......" Chu Tianxing groaned for a while and said:
"This time I asked for a lot of information.
"In the depths of this Winter Ghost Domain, there is a Winter Throne.
"The King of Winter Ghosts, and the high-ranking Winter Ghosts under his command, are entrenched on the Winter Throne.
"They are not native monsters of this world, but have wandered from other worlds—just like the monsters on our planet, who have scurried through the gates of the Apocalypse.
"All the Winter Ghosts are summoned from the Alternate Plane by the King of Winter Ghosts and high-ranking Winter Ghosts, or created from the corpses of the creatures of this world.
"Every winter, the King of Winter Ghosts will drive his Winter Ghost Army to attack the Far North Defense Line in the south, trying to break through the defense line and enter the human realm, turning all the living into the dead.
"But because the Far North Defense Line is a relic left by the five gods before they slumbered, and it has the power of the gods to restrain the ability of the Winter Ghost, so the Winter Ghost's offensive has not been effective. But in the long battle of pulling and resisting, the strength of the defense line is also being weakened year after year.
"And this time, the Winter Ghost King has not only sent out his army of the dead, but also a living ally—the otherworldly tribe of the five creatures.
"They are not people, but an evil tribe of elves.
"This elf wasn't originally an evil creature.
"It's just that the world where they were originally located was invaded by demons and completely fell, and the last remaining elves had to take the plane battleship formed by their elven mother tree, leaving their hometown and wandering around.
"In the process of wandering, he was polluted by an unknown evil god, and the whole clan suffered from 'soul disease'.
"When this symptom occurs, it is impossible for people to survive, unable to die, and extremely painful, and must regularly suck the souls of intelligent beings to alleviate the onset of symptoms.
"So...... This wandering tribe of elves has been reduced to an evil creature that hunts souls. Wander through the cracks of time and space, searching for weakly defended worlds, capturing intelligent creatures, and killing souls......
"Some of the intelligent beings who have been poisoned by them call them 'Soul Eaters'.
"This time, the wandering mothership of the Soul Eaters has passed through a space-time rift that they have accidentally found, and has arrived in the domain of winter ghosts in the far north.
"Originally, as living creatures, they should have been regarded as hunting targets by the Winter Ghosts.
"However, perhaps it was their aura after being polluted by the evil god that they were approved by the Winter Ghost, in short, these two evil creatures have now formed an alliance and become an alliance.
"After the two sides formed an alliance, they reached an agreement on the humans of this world - the Soul Eater Elves obtained human souls, and the Winter Ghosts obtained human corpses.
"Both sides can take what they need, and they hit it off. At the request of the King of Winter Ghosts, the Soul Eater Elves sent a number of lurking teams to try to infiltrate various human strongholds, and even the human Far North Defense Line, to sabotage, and help Winter Ghost break through the defense line.
"Soul Eaters are no different from living creatures except for their soul-eating habits.
"After being polluted by the evil gods, their appearance and characteristics have also changed slightly. The ears are no longer as sharp as they used to be, but they are slightly longer than the ears of ordinary humans, and they are almost impossible to see if they are disguised by hair and hats.
"In addition to its average appearance being higher than that of humans, it is highly similar to humans. Now the ears are less obvious, which makes it easier for them to disguise their identities and blend in with humans.
"Although the Soul Eater Elves don't look strong, and even slightly slender and thin, because of the superior composition and structure of their bones, tendons, and muscles, their physical fitness, strength, and agility are far stronger than ordinary humans.
"With the power of the Soul Eater Elves, even the most ordinary Soul Eater Elves can defeat several elite Arctic Legion soldiers with more than one enemy.
"The Soul Eater Elves also possess extremely powerful alchemy techniques.
"The previous hand crossbows with great power and extremely fast flying speed were just the standard equipment of the Soul Eater Elf. The one-handed stabbing sword that could condense elemental energy and sharpen iron like clay was only a low-level weapon.
"According to the information I tortured, their elven mothership is even equipped with a powerful Adamantite Golem that can wrestle with the roots, and a magical cannon that can flatten a city with a single shot.
"In addition to the well-developed alchemy process, the Soul Eater Elves also have a professional group of spellcasters, who have powerful spell power in their hands.
"With the strength of the Soul Eater Elves, once they successfully infiltrate the Far North Defense Line, it is really possible to destroy the key positions of the defense line and join forces with the Winter Ghost to break through the defense line.
"In addition, these five elves who came to our outpost are just very ordinary lower elves.
"That Soul Eater who can condense elemental power with a bayonet sword is just an ordinary elite soldier. ”
Hearing this, Xue Ziwei couldn't help but ask:
"Since there is such a strong mothership, why don't the Soul Eaters drive the mothership and forcefully blast through the human defense line of the Far North Legion?"
Chu Tianxing smiled and said:
"Because the mothership of the Soul Eater Elves was not lightly damaged when it crossed the rift in time and space and arrived in this world.
"The mothership temporarily lost power and was already unable to fly.
"The Soul Eater Elves want to break through the Far North defense line and enter the human world, in addition to obtaining human souls, they also want to scavenge resources in the human world and repair damaged motherships. ”
Xue Ziwei asked again:
"What about the Soul Eater Elf's Adamantite Golem that can wrestle with the roots?"
Chu Tianxing said with a smile:
"That kind of golem consumes a lot of energy, and can only fight near the mothership. The combat radius cannot exceed thirty kilometers.
"And the mothership of the Soul Eater Elves landed in the depths of the Winter Ghost Domain, close to the Winter Throne, and more than a thousand kilometers away from the defense line of the Far North Legion. Now that the mothership can't move, naturally it can't drop the Adamantite Golem to attack the city. ”
"Understood. Xue Ziwei nodded and asked again:
"So what do we do now? Are we going to go to the Far North Legion and warn them to beware of the infiltration of the Soul Eaters?"
Chu Tianxing groaned for a while:
"I'm interested in the Mothership of the Soul Eaters. ”
Mainly interested in the Soul Eater Elves, who are said to number up to 100,000.
If only they could harvest them all......
Imprison the Soul Eater in Soul Purgatory......
Well, that's a bit whimsical.
The Soul Eater Elves mainly rely on alchemy technology, relying on giant ship cannons, alchemy weapons, and golems to burn and plunder everywhere.
Although they also have spellcasters, due to the influence of "Soul Lust", their individual strength is the strongest, and according to the expressiveness of the memories of the four Soul Eaters, it is probably only equivalent to the top True Qi Realm.
But even if he was only a top-notch True Qi Realm Great Grandmaster, he was already far beyond the upper limit that Chu Tianxing could deal with.
If you want to harvest 100,000 soul eater elves, it's still a bit whimsical.
"Tianxing, go deep into the tiger's den and destroy the mothership of the Soul Eater Elf, we don't need to take such a risk, right?"
Xue Ziwei thought that he wanted to be a savior, and came to the bottom of the kettle to help the humans in this world deal with the soul eater elves, and persuaded:
"Being able to go to the Far North Defense Line and remind the human legion that destroying the conspiracy of the Soul Eater Elves is already a great merit!"
Chu Tianxing laughed:
"You're right, you can't take such a big risk.
"It's enough for us to send the information of the Soul Eater to the commander of the human legion.
"By the way, aren't you accustomed to using the Emei thorn? Although this thin sword is not a small weapon like the Emei thorn, it is also light and fast, which is suitable for a girl like you.
"I've tried it, this thin sword has a very high affinity for internal force, and if it is attached to the sword body, not only will there be no loss at all, but it can even slightly increase its power.
"Its ability to condense elemental energy is also quite easy to excite, as long as the speed of swinging the sword exceeds a certain limit, it can condense elemental energy on its own and increase the sharpness of the sword's edge.
"There are also these hand crossbows, which can also condense elemental energy, and when you pull the trigger, you can automatically condense elemental energy, which is very easy to use. ”
Chu Tianxing handed over the captured elemental stabbing sword to Xue Ziwei and gave her a two-handed crossbow.
Although it was not too precious, Xue Ziwei was still very happy and played with it for a while.
At this time, outside the castle, the sound of dense snow was already sounding.
The forward troops of the Winter Ghosts have already arrived in front of the outpost fort, and hundreds of Winter Ghosts are walking towards the city wall.
[Ask for a ticket~!]
