Chapter 176: The Corpse Leader (7)
It was already night when Zhang Shuwen arrived at Jinguan City, and by the light of the stars in the sky, he saw that a cloud of purple lightning collided with a black figure in the sky above Jinguan City.
On the ground, the fortifications built around three streets had already been destroyed in a mess, and even the houses that carried half of the nearby city were crushed and collapsed.
"Aren't there three? Why did you only see one?" Zhang Shuwen stood on a private house and looked at the two figures in the night sky in wonder.
While he was thinking, an old man in a gray robe stood beside him silently and said lightly: "Young man, you are also from Longhu Mountain?"
"Ahh
It's strange that besides Master, there are people who can get close without me noticing. But it doesn't seem that he is hostile, and I don't know which sect's predecessor.
Zhang Shuwen said respectfully to the old man: "Zhang Shuwen, a disciple of Xiaodao Dragon and Tiger Mountain, meet your seniors. ”
"Little Taoist, you are so polite. Wu Ran said lightly.
Zhang Shuwen glanced at the two figures fighting in the sky, then at the old man, and became even more suspicious: "Dare to ask the seniors, what is going on here? What is the monster fighting with my master in the sky?"
Wu Ran waved his hand, he was really too lazy to explain.
As soon as Zhang Beichong arrived here at noon, Wu Ran said a few words to him, and then asked him to start a fight with the corpse.
The copper bell in Wu Ran's hand rang, and when the corpse leader just made a move, Zhang Beichong's right index finger pointed out a purple lightning bolt, which hit the corpse leader's chest with a bang, and flew out, breaking through the surrounding fortifications, and fell to the ground again, rolling and drawing a trace of the elder.
The corpse leader got up in pain and rushed to Zhang Beichong to fight in close quarters.
The corpse leader can't beat out the power in his body like a cultivator, its real advantage is that it has muscles and bones that are harder than steel, and a body that doesn't know pain.
However, what Zhang Beichong is good at is just the idea, the Five Thunder Righteous Law he cultivates can be driven by true qi, and can be hit a few zhang, or even dozens of zhang away, but he has not practiced the hard skills of the outer gate, and can only rely on the purple electric armor made of true qi to protect the fragile body
The two fought for more than half an hour, and finally Zhang Beichong used the Five Thunder Array to blast the corpse Kui, Wu Ran was distressed, worried that the corpse Kui would be damaged and called it off.
It was true that the corpse was not weak, but because it was noon, its strength had weakened a lot. Zhang Beichong is also a profound Taoist, and the Five Thunder Righteous Law is a special exercise to restrain demons and evils, so under the elimination of one and the other, Zhang Beichong defeated the corpse leader in the battle at noon.
Zhang Beichong consumed a lot of true qi, although it was said that his cultivation was extremely high, but at the same time he was still an old man in his nineties, and after the fight, he sat on a broken wall out of breath and rested. Wu Ran approached the blackened corpse lying on the ground and observed for a while, and then walked over to Zhang Beichong and said, "As the descendant of Zhang Daoling, the Five Thunder Rectification Law is indeed extraordinary. However, it's noon at the moment, and my corpse's strength has been greatly reduced to let you win. Do you dare to wait for the middle of the night, when the yin qi between heaven and earth is at its heaviest, and my corpse is making a move?"
"After fighting again at night, will the Venerable Driver really leave?" Zhang Beichong felt that the old protector of the Lich Clan seemed to be a bit of a talker.
"Of course. Wu Ran replied cheekily, he also seemed to know that he was at a loss, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left.
Zhang Beichong sighed, hoping that this time he could speak his mind, otherwise he would really have to play Laipi, and he really couldn't deal with it.
So, in the afternoon of the same day, Zhang Beichong sat cross-legged on the broken wall and meditated and pranayama to prepare for the battle at night. Wu Ran also repaired his baby corpse in distress.
At noon, the battle between Zhang Beichong and the corpse Kui affected many nearby houses, and the movement was very noisy, and the people of the entire Jinguan City rushed over to see the excitement.
After everyone crossed the fortifications built earlier and got closer, they realized that the purple lightning bolt before was Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and the soldier in tattered armor who was violently beaten was the monster who caused trouble.
When they learned that Zhang Tianshi and the monster had a fierce battle at night, people spontaneously took food and water to replenish Zhang Tianshi's strength, so that they could destroy the monster at night.
Even the local prefect personally took the guards and carried two plates of dim sum to help Zhang Tianshi.
Zhang Tianshi simply ate a few bites of dim sum and drank two sips of water, then waved his hand to let everyone retreat.
The prefect was already scared in his heart, he had plucked up the courage to take the guards to protect himself, and he knew that Zhang Tianshi was brave here before he came over with a snack, but when he saw the corpse standing there in the distance, eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and exuding a foul-smelling corpse smell all over his body, he was so frightened that he wanted to vomit. As soon as they heard that the Heavenly Master wanted them to go back, they couldn't ask for it, so they put down the food, water and snacks, and hurriedly withdrew with the people.
Zhang Tianshi glanced at Wu Ran, who was sitting not far from the corpse and closed his eyes to recuperate, coughed lightly, and said, "You haven't eaten for a few days. If you don't mind, there are just a few snacks here. ”
"......" Wu Ran closed his eyes and was silent, breathing for a long time.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianshi was not reluctant, and continued to close his eyes and cultivate.
The prefects, officers and soldiers who had been instructed by the Heavenly Master to retreat outside the hive fortifications surrounded the city and closely watched the movements in the field.
When the evening came, the people did not disperse, but raised torches to light the hive. The prefect also specially sent a bold guard to send one to the Celestial Master, and inserted it in the pile of bricks and gravel next to the Celestial Master to illuminate it.
At midnight, the cool breeze gusted at night, the cold air was pressing, the torch next to Zhang Beichong was blown by the wind, and his shadow was also flickering under the light of the jumping fire.
Wu Ran stood up slowly, the copper bell in his hand shook again, and the corpse jumped silently towards Zhang Beichong, jumped three feet away, leaned forward, and collided with Zhang Beichong with copper skin and iron bones.
Zhang Beichong's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a ball of purple light erupted from his body, and he suddenly jumped into the air.
In the daytime battle, he has discovered that the attack mode of the corpse is good at hand-to-hand combat, and can also collide and hurt people, these two attack methods can be used to the strongest on the ground, but he is not good at taking off, although he can do a short period of time in the air, but the attack power in the air is greatly reduced.
So, at the beginning of the fight, Zhang Beichong jumped and pulled the battlefield into the air.
It was also in the middle of the night that Zhang Shuwen, who was chasing from behind, arrived.
Wu Ran was observing the battle between Zhang Beichong and the corpse in the sky, but the corner of his eye swept to the outside of Jinguan City, and a conspicuous purple thunderbolt rushed out.
Wu Ran guessed that he was the same as Zhang Beichong, who was also a Taoist priest from Longhu Mountain, and after coming over to talk to Zhang Shuwen for a few words, he confirmed that his guess was correct.
"Dare to ask the seniors, is the black shadow that fought with my master in the air a monster in the mouths of the people?" Zhang Shuwen looked at the purple lightning in the sky and kept flickering and bombarding, and he was even more anxious, he just asked Wu Ran did not answer, so he asked again.
"Not bad. Wu Ran looked at Zhang Shuwen, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and said, "In fact, there are more monsters than this. There are three more in the city. ”
"And three?" Zhang Shuwen frowned, looked in the direction Wu Ran pointed, and saw scattered torches there, and could vaguely see the crowded heads, which were probably all people who came to see the excitement.
Zhang Shuwen was looking intently, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and immediately asked Wu Ran vigilantly: "The cultivation of the predecessors is also very good, why don't you kill the three-headed monster, but let me go?"
"Those monsters can't be killed by the old man's own hands. ”
"Why?" Zhang Shuwen was puzzled.
"Because I can't help it. Wu Ran replied very seriously.
"Reluctantly?"
"Because the monster in the sky was raised by me, and the three-headed monster in the city also appeared. Wu Ran confessed.
"Why do you want to do this? Why do you want to raise such terrifying monsters? and let them out to harm the world?" Zhang Shuwen was full of hostility, and his whole body emitted flashing thunder and lightning.
"The old man didn't mean it that way, but it was out of control. Wu Ran wanted to borrow Zhang Shuwen to test the combat power of the monsters transformed by the three scattered cultivators, so he urged Zhang Shuwen to say, "Go quickly." If it's too late, a few more people will die. ”
Zhang Shuwen glared at the old man angrily, snorted coldly, stepped on the roof and jumped up, and rushed to the city.
Wu Ran followed Zhang Shuwen not far away, and when he reached the vicinity of the beehive-shaped fortifications, he waved his big sleeve forward and unlocked the prison technique that had been applied to the three-headed monster before.
Half a day ago, when the hive was destroyed by the battle between Zhang Beichong and the corpse leader, several officers and soldiers who were infected into monsters inside ran out and were surrounded outside, and people were trapped and burned to death.
At this moment, in the entire Jinguan City, the only monsters left were the corpse leader who fought with Zhang Beichong and the three loose cultivators who were fixed by Wu Ran seven days ago.
When Zhang Shuwen arrived in the hive, he saw the three-headed monster wandering in the empty ruins at a glance, he stared at the eyebrows, and Wu Ran's voice sounded in his ears again: "Don't be afraid, these three-headed monsters are far less powerful than your master's corpse." ”
Zhang Shuwen glared at Wu Ran unhappily, feeling that this old man was really annoying, he had nothing to raise any monsters, and according to his strength, he could obviously subdue these monsters, but he still had to let these monsters kill. What is reluctant, there is absolutely nothing simple. Zhang Shuwen thought so, but at the moment, the strange old man didn't seem to be in any danger, but it was more important to deal with these three monsters covered in blood and walking stiffly and swaying.
Wu Ran stood on the roof, looking at these three-headed monsters whose behavior was not much different from a few days ago, and muttered in his heart: it seems that their bodies can only be stiffened to this extent, and it seems that it is impossible to become the same jumping and walking as the corpse leader.
