Chapter 9: Beheading

Just when Shi Mu was full of surprise, the humanoid monster had already let out a low roar, carrying a fishy smell and rushing towards the nearest Shi Mu.

Shi Mu took a deep breath, threw away all the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and without saying a word, his figure moved forward, his wrist flicked, and the single knife immediately turned into a large cold shadow and swept out.

"Bang" "Bang" a few times.

A single knife slashed four or five times in an instant's chest at the monster, but it was like slashing on dead wood, and only a few shallow wounds were cut, and a faint green blood seeped out, but there was no major problem at all.

The humanoid monster instead had two arms and one and hugged Shi Mu fiercely.

Shi Mu was shocked in his heart, but the cultivation effect of wearing black armor and running wildly in the mountains during this time was fully reflected at this moment, although he had not cultivated any light body kung fu, but his body was just dripping and turning in place, and he narrowly flicked past the two thick arms, and appeared behind the monster, and the knife flashed, and four or five shallow wounds emerged from the monster's waist.

"Roar"

Although the monster was not injured much, it was obviously enraged, and its body suddenly twisted backwards, and its upper body turned around in a strange 180 degrees, and its two arms danced, and it smashed down like a wheel towards Shi Mu's head and face.

"Boom".

The monster's attack this time was a big surprise to Shi Mu, and it was too late to dodge, so he could only hold the knife in both hands and move it horizontally, and the whole person was smashed out like a sack.

Shi Mu's back slammed into an ambush on a thick stone pillar before he stopped tremblingly, and when he turned over and jumped up again, his eyes were a little black and he staggered.

But the humanoid monster didn't have the slightest intention of letting go of Shi Mu, kicked the ground with both feet, raised his arms, and pounced again with a fishy wind.

Shi Mu let out a low roar, but instead of dodging, he flicked his wrist, and the single knife suddenly turned into a straight slash of six sword shadows.

A muffled sound!

The young man's five fingers were hot, and the single knife flew out of his hand, and the "whoosh" shot upward, and was deeply inserted into the beam of the main hall, and Shi Mu's whole person also "kicked" and "kicked" backwards.

The monster also let out a terrible sound, and was slashed back by these knife shadows, not only four more knife marks were added to the two arms, but two long knife edges appeared on the front door, and a large amount of green blood spurted out.

"Little brother, the zombie head is a weak point, attack it there. When the middle-aged man on the other side saw this, he hurriedly shouted.

His shout immediately drew the monster's attention.

At this time, it already knew that Shi Mu was not easy to mess with, but at this moment, it was full of anger, and it almost didn't want to roar, and suddenly turned around and threw itself towards the bonfire.

"No"

When the middle-aged man saw this, he was so frightened that his soul flew away, but his daughter was behind him, even if he wanted to dodge, it was too late, so he could only throw the short sword in his hand at the zombie violently, and then turned around and hugged his daughter to death.

He actually used his body to protect the girl behind him.

"Poof"

The monster moved with one arm and pushed the short sword away, and the five fingers of the other beast were abnormally sharp, and with almost no difficulty, it directly broke through the man's back and inserted it directly into the small half. 、

The man screamed, and a large stream of blood spurted out.

"Ahh

When the girl who was hugged by her father saw this, her face was suddenly colorless, and she screamed instantly.

At this moment, an incredible scene appeared.

The humanoid monster that lowered his head and opened his stinky mouth, was biting the man's neck, and when he heard the girl's scream, his body trembled and screamed, and his arm was instantly pulled out of the man's back, and he stumbled back with his head in his hands, looking very painful.

The wind of "whew" suddenly rolled, and Shi Mu rushed to the back of the monster at an astonishing speed, jumping to a certain height, shaking his two arms, and striking at both sides of the monster's head with two fists.

"Boom".

The two fists struck the ground like hammers, and the strength was so great that it instantly rolled up with a roar, and the monster's head immediately burst open like a watermelon, and countless green blood splashed out.

Shi Mu slammed on the ground with one foot, and the whole person shot out a few steps backwards, so as to avoid being splashed with green blood.

The monster's headless corpse shook twice before falling to the ground.

Shi Mu stood firm with his hands clenched into fists and took a deep breath, but his face still couldn't help but turn slightly pale.

The fight just now was only a moment's work, but this zombie was terrifying but far from being comparable to the beasts he had killed before, if it hadn't been suddenly disturbed by the girl's scream just now, he would never have succeeded in such a blow.

Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that he has the strength of a thousand catties and has cultivated the Stone Breaker Fist to the point of approaching Dacheng. Otherwise, even if this monster's head is a weak point, ordinary martial artists can't hit it with their bare hands.

"Father"

At this time, the girl's heart-rending voice came from the other side.

Shi Mu had time to look at it at this time, but saw that the girl's whole body was already half-lying on the man's body, and she was desperately blocking the huge blood hole exposed in his chest with her two hands, but the blood was gushing out, how could it really be stopped.

"Little brother, little brother......"

At this time, the middle-aged man had no trace of blood on his face, but he ignored his daughter's actions and desperately summoned Shi Mu over.

"Father, don't talk nonsense, I'll find a doctor to stop the bleeding for you......" The girl said with tears when she saw this.

"It's useless. Xiu'er, as a father, I also know a little bit of medicine, my heart is broken now, I'm afraid I will die in a moment. I've enjoyed everything I should have enjoyed in my life, and even if I leave now, there's nothing to regret, and the only thing I can't worry about is you. When the middle-aged man heard this, he said with a wry smile, and looked at Shi Mu with expectant eyes.

When the girl heard this, she was even more heartbroken.

"Uncle Zhong, do you have anything to say to me?" Shi Mu sighed, and finally walked over, half-squatting beside the man.

Although he had a hunch that he might be in trouble, in this case, it was impossible to let him go.

"Little ...... Little brother, can you and my father and daughter ...... It is also a great fate to meet here. I'm going to get over now, but I can't...... Leaving Xiu'er alone in this world, I want to ...... her Entrust it to you, little brother. The middle-aged man began to gasp and said.

"There's no need to entrust it to me, right? Ling Qianjin seems to have a marriage contract with the Wu family, and I can send her to the Wu family. After hearing this, Shi Mu was slightly stunned.

"Wu family...... Hey...... Hey...... If I were still here, I would naturally have a way to make the Wu family accept it, but now I ...... The Wu family will never admit this marriage. If you will...... Sending the little girl over will only ...... Will only ......"

"If that's the case, I can also send Miss Xiu'er to another relative. Shi Mu frowned and said interruptedly.

"Since the fall of the Zhong family, it has ...... There are no relatives. Xiu'er, listen up...... Your marriage to the Wu family is cancelled...... Little brother, I don't think you're an ordinary person...... I don't ask you to be sure that Mingmei is marrying a little girl, as long as you promise to let Xiu'er make a side room, so that she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, I will be able to look at it. Since you are a martial artist, this heirloom of the Zhong family should be useful to you, so it should be used as a dowry for the little girl. If you do something sorry for the little girl in the future, I Zhong Ming will not let you go even if I am a ghost. The middle-aged man quickly said the last few words, then took out a small wooden box from his arms, stuffed it into Shi Mu's hand, and after screaming, there was no more breath.

"Father"

The girl listened to her father's words, and was so surprised that she forgot to cry, but when she saw that her father had really died, she immediately lay on the man's corpse and began to cry loudly again.

Shi Mu was holding the wooden box with one hand next to him, really stunned and at a loss.

"This son, my father is probably a little delirious before he died, you don't have to take his words as true, when you get to Fengcheng, please send me to the Wu family." I don't know how long it took, the girl finally stopped crying, opened her red and swollen eyes, and said to Shi Mu, who had already stood up straight.

"Miss Zhong, I think Uncle Zhong's last words are indeed a bit inappropriate, you should take this thing well. Shi Mu exhaled lightly when he heard this, and after replying embarrassedly, he handed back the wooden box in his hand to the girl.

"I've never seen anything like this, but since it's a gift from my father, I'm not going to get it back. Besides, if you hadn't killed this monster with your own hands, I wouldn't have saved my life. The girl shook her head.

"Miss Zhong, don't call me any son, my surname is Shi Mingmu. In this way, the rain seems to have stopped outside, so I'll help you bury Ling Zun's body first. Otherwise, after a long time, I am afraid that the beasts of the mountains will be invited. Hearing this, Shi Mu hesitated for a moment before taking back the wooden box and said.

"Then there is labor, Brother Shi will also call me Zhong Xiu directly in the future. The girl seemed to be very weak, but after a cry, she seemed to be much stronger.

A quarter of an hour later, on the hillside behind the ancient temple, the girl knelt in front of a grave, and kowtowed three times in pain in her heart, before following Shi Mu step by step.

After the two returned to the temple, although the corpse of the previous humanoid monster was still in place, the surface of the body began to decay at an alarming speed, and at the same time, a lot of green water seeped out of the corpse, making the entire hall smell unpleasant.

Seeing this, Zhong Xiu didn't dare to get any closer, but Shi Mu frowned and said:

"This thing is so weird, it can't just be put here like this. Miss Zhong, wait a minute, I'll deal with this thing too. ”

The girl listened and nodded again and again.

Shi Mu immediately turned around and walked out of the main hall, and when he came back a moment later, a few thick plantain-like leaves appeared in his hand, and he strode over to the monster corpse.

He bowed down, wrapped the monster corpse in three strokes and divided it by two, and after holding his hands up, he was about to walk out.

"Smack".

Something that fell from the leaves.
