Chapter 66: A stroke of genius!
In the room, Yang Haike is sitting on a stool, drawing an eerie picture of a dark style on paper with a bald pen by the light outside the window.
It was early in the morning, the sun was warm, and the old man's old face looked holy and pious in the light, like a painter who was obsessed with painting.
The drawings are all composed of lines of varying thicknesses, mottled colors, and large expanses of thick ink rendering, which look very abstract and ordinary, as if this old man has no talent for painting at all.
But those messy lines seem irregularity at first glance, and after staring at them for a long time, it can actually make people feel as if some kind of monster is caressing their back with cold tentacles.
It's as if the painting is alive, and there's some strange being staring at you with a pair of scarlet eyes......
The cold and scalp-tinging nausea touch is enough to make any person's spirit suffer a heavy blow, ordinary people look at this picture, at least bedridden for a month, or at worst insane, but Yang Haike seems to be unaware, and continues to finish this painting.
The blanks were filled in everywhere, and the lines were outlined and connected, and gradually, those messy lines really formed the terrifying monster figure that could be reflected in people's hearts.
"The Awoken?"
Yang Haike's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and the ink smeared a large black stain on the yellowed paper.
With some regret, he shook the brush in a broken bowl filled with water, and outlined the black ink stains, and there was a feeling of turning decay into magic.
He had time to raise his head, and he saw a man in white with a sword box staring coldly at a tree with a crooked neck outside the window.
"Virtuous nephew, what are you doing on the tree if you have nothing to do?" Yang Haike smiled, but his eyes were indescribably cold.
He had already realized that he had made a mistake, he thought that he was just a mortal, but he never thought that he could approach him quietly......
"Don't pretend. Li Bai sneered, "How can the stench of the demon seed on your body escape my demon hunter's intuition." ”
"What the hell are you talking about?" Yang Haike frowned, "Could it be that you have lost your mind?"
Li Bai smiled, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the painting on the table, and said coldly: "What, have you painted a portrait of yourself in advance?"
As he stretched out his hand, the monsters on the scroll writhed like a group of demons dancing in an instant, and a kind of murderous intent slowly rose, as if a gaze from hell was projected from the scroll.
"How do you know it's mine?"
A scarlet color flashed in Yang Haike's eyes, he threw away the bald brush in his hand, and snorted coldly, "Don't talk about the intuition of a demon hunter, my disguise is impossible for even a high-ranking demon hunter to detect, let alone a small character like you." ”
Li Bai let out a long breath: "Sure enough, it's you...... Your disguise is so seamless that I don't even know how you did it. ”
"But I only know that there must be an Awakened in this village, and it is enough that you are the most suspicious!"
Yang Haike frowned and said, "Why? I haven't eaten anyone in this Qian'an village except this old man, how can you guess that it's me?"
Li Bai said coldly: "Hehe, it is true that no one is missing in this village, and it is indeed difficult to curb the appetite of the awakened, but you once said that there are often scholars passing by in recent days, I guess...... The gentlemen must have all entered your belly. ”
Yang Haike was slightly stunned, and then laughed dumbly: "Hahaha, just this?"
Li Bai said categorically: "Of course it's more than that!"
"You're too enthusiastic, listen to what you said, the conditions in your home should be very poor, don't you find yourself guilty of inviting people to visit your door for no reason, and adding a mouth to eat?"
"And you're alone in the whole village, so it's perfect to pretend to be you. ”
Li Bai said in a deep voice.
"Although it is possible that you are really a hospitable old man, even if you are only fifty percent sure, it is worth my try, presumably...... The original Yang Gong wouldn't mind. ”
Yang Haike nodded: "Hehe, I really have some ability, but I have lost my eyes." But since you've already guessed that I'm an Awakened One, do you dare to appear in front of me?"
Boom –
A behemoth demonic aura suddenly erupted, Yang Haike's muscles instantly swelled and stretched, and his left arm swelled more than five times at this moment, and his shriveled body seemed to condense the power of the demonic path like a mountain and a sea.
"Just because you, a mortal, do you still want to do the way for heaven and kill demons?" the corners of Yang Haike's mouth stretched, his fangs stretched out, and he laughed maniacally.
"What if you add me?" A righteous and awe-inspiring voice sounded behind him, and looking back, Hua Arc, holding a spear and carrying a double-bladed sword at his waist, was standing behind Yang Haike.
His spine was straight, like a big gun, full of gorgeous hair, still majestic!
The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong!
Even if he is over half a hundred years old and Hua Fa is born, he is still a powerful warrior.
Yang Haike's expression became gloomy, a powerful opponent close to the Martial Arts Grandmaster, even he had to feel jealous, this was also the existence he feared the most in this Qian'an Village.
Yang Haike said gloomily: "Hua Arc, I have never provoked your Hua family, and I have always spoken up for you, you are now old and weak, why do you want to wade into this troubled water now? You must know that if you die, half of your Huafu will collapse immediately." ”
Hua Arc said: "I don't know if you are the Yang Gong I know from the beginning, or if you have been an awakened person since you first returned to this village, and I don't want to know, because anyone who is awakened ...... Damn it!"
As soon as the words fell, a spear stabbed towards Yang Haike like a long dragon, and the strong wind swept away, and the spear was like a rapidly rotating drill, flying towards Yang Haike with extremely terrifying penetrating power.
This shot brought a sharp buzz, and the bloody battle qi that pierced the air, like a hundred battles on the battlefield, was like water dripping into the oil pot, and it clashed with the boiling demonic power in an instant.
"Old thing, you're pushing me!"
Roar –
With a roar that was not like a human being, all the external demonic Dao power converged, and it was sucked into Yang Haike's body like a whirlpool, his body was expanding, and a sharp bone spur suddenly bounced off the spear thrown by the flower arc.
The power of the Demon Dao instantly collided with the blood and qi power of the martial artist, forming a violent explosion.
And in the midst of the explosion, a majestic shadow slowly appeared.
"Boy, if all you rely on is this old fellow, you'd better die here today. ”
Smoke and dust flew, and a huge beast broke through the house, revealing its body, its body like a giant snake without a head, and the human stood up, and in its place was a crown of cuticles, which was very hard at first sight.
And around its body stretched out countless flesh whips with dense bone spurs, but the old human face was located on the chest, countless bone spurs surrounded it, and the whole body looked strange and distorted.
Such an awakened person obviously does not belong to that kind of high-end awakened person, the more powerful the awakened person is, the more like a real beast, and it will not be so twisted and weird, such as the centaur Esli, the Bull Demon, Sun Wukong, Zhang Fei, etc.
Even if the latter doesn't look beautiful, it will have that fierceness, wildness and power, at least it won't make people feel spicy at a glance.
But this can't change its current strength in the slightest, it is the true body of the Awakened that is far more terrifying than the ordinary demon seed!
Its golden vertical pupils stared at Li Bai indifferently, and the human face born on its chest showed a crazy and distorted smile.
Hua Arc's face was slightly cold: "Evil animal!"
He withdrew his spear, carried it behind him, and waited with his short sword in both hands.
Li Bai gave the other party a look, signaling the other party not to act rashly, and then his hands were sealed, and the light bloomed.
I only heard a clear whistle like a dragon and phoenix singing, the Cold Moon Sword Box opened, and a cold light rose from it, and the Tianhe Sword was unsheathed for the first time!
In an instant, a terrifying chill hit, and fine snowflakes began to flutter between the heavens and the earth.
As a prop for the peak of the B-level sword, with the Tianhe Sword it contains, the edge of the sword is almost reaching the legendary A-level fairy sword at this moment, even if it is only this moment, it is enough for him to cut out the strongest sword in his life so far!
Clusters of ice rose from the earth like lotus flowers.
The ice froze the houses, the trees, and Yang Haike's body.
Different from the simple green steel sword, the cultivator's flying sword is not only a sword, but also a magic sword similar to the mage staff in Western magic.
Under the urging of the Tianhe Sword, Li Bai's Ten Thousand Sword Technique, which fused the power of the thousand-year-old fox, rose again, and those ice clusters suddenly extended, the earth collapsed, and the sharp ice clusters flew up with a click, turning into cold ice flying swords, and flew towards Yang Haike.
The smile on Yang Haike's face froze: "It turns out that you are also a master of the Demon Dao, I didn't expect you to hide it so well, no wonder you have the confidence to appear in front of the old man." ”
Boom –
The power of the Demon Dao exploded, and countless ice debris suddenly bloomed on the surface of his body, and the ice that froze him was shattered by him at this moment.
Countless bone spur whips swung up, it was like a giant squid that lived in the deep sea in legend, each whip was terrifyingly sensitive, and the sound of gold and iron hitting it with ice swords made a sound of gold and iron.
Crackling and crackling.
However, most of the ice swords were intercepted, and even if a few of them penetrated Yang Haike's defenses, they were still harmless.
"It's still too weak, this strength alone is not enough to hunt me, young demon hunter!" Yang Haike's old face showed a smug smile.
Li Bai's face did not change at all, the Tianhe Sword was still suspended behind him, and the strongest sword had not yet been cut out!
At this moment, a broad arm was placed on Li Bai's shoulder.
Li Bai turned around and found that it was a flower arc.
"You're no match for him, let me do it. A smile appeared on Hua Arc's face, "It is my duty to protect my hometown, not yours." ”
"Witchers are paid for hunting demon seeds, but it's clear that I can't afford to hunt an Awakened person. ”
"For many years, martial arts have never been put down. How many days and nights dreamed back to blow the horn company camp. How many times have I recalled burying bones on the battlefield and dying in battle!"
His voice suddenly became rough and powerful.
"And today, let the old man die here as a warrior!"
As he spoke, the blade of the sword crossed his chest, and a huge blood qi like the sun burst out.
Martial Arts Grandmaster!
A long time ago, he was a martial arts master.
Although he had never shown such a realm due to his secret injury, he was attacking with all his strength at the moment, his blood and qi were exposed, and the wind swept away, and that kind of strength even surpassed the huge awakened person in front of him.
Li Bai's eyes widened.
I grass!
Father-in-law, don't mess around, I haven't done my best yet, what kind of show are you robbing!
Yang Haike roared angrily: "Old dog, you are crazy! Your sieve-like body can't withstand this kind of power at all, do you want to die with Lao Tzu!"
Hua Arc laughed wildly: "If you can have today, you will die without regrets!"
Li Bai sighed, and suddenly a white light flashed in his eyes, and the powerful illusion of the Qingqiu Fox was immediately released, confusing the flower arc.
The blood qi in his body instantly disintegrated, and the whole person fell directly to the ground, and was helped aside by Li Bai.
Originally, as a martial artist, as soon as the strong blood qi came out, it could be said that it was inviolable to all laws, and it was the most restrained demonic power.
However, Li Bai This is Qingqiu Illusion, which is not the same thing as the magic spell of this world at all, but a natural ability of him as a divine beast.
Moreover, Hua Arc was defenseless against him, and his heart was hanging on the body of the awakened person in front of him, so he was succeeded by Li Bai's sneak attack.
It's also a coincidence, but the actual significance is not high.
"What are you ......," Yang Haike said in surprise.
Li Bai sneered: "It only takes a sword to kill you, why do you need others to help." ”
As soon as his words fell, his eyes turned into the vertical pupils of a beast at this moment, and thin arcs of electricity were born around the Tianhe Sword, which was not electricity, but the true yuan that Li Bai had changed in nature.
"Demon Seed...... So are you. ”
Li Bai sneered: "The momentum of this sword is getting more and more intense!"
The fox ears were born on the top of his head, and his purple hair flew up, and the bloodline power of the thousand-year-old fox was triggered by him to the extreme at this moment, and that terrifying aura simply made the awakened shudder.
He suddenly let out an unwilling roar: "No, Awakened......!
Before the words fell, his eyes were already filled with the sword light that swallowed the sky and the earth.
This sword!
It's like a stroke of genius!
"Are you unwilling, are you angry, then repent in hell!" Li Bai ruthlessly sent out the Tianhe Sword in his hand.
The blade pierced his heart, and Yang Haike's eyes widened in disbelief: "For...... Why?"
Li Bai leaned over and said indifferently: "Do you think I am an awakened one? It's a pity that I'm not." ”
As he spoke, the true yuan prompted.
Click-
Sharp ice picks rose in clusters, and sword qi swept through, erupting from the body of the awakened.
In an instant, the blood in its body turned into a scarlet ice pick, piercing its internal organs, cutting through its tough skin, and it was like a ripped hemp bag, its massive body torn apart.
Strings of steaming offal emit heat on the clumps of ice picks, and disappear in an instant.
Li Bai summoned back the Tianhe Sword, and his face softened slightly.
"It's worthy of being an awakened person, it's really extraordinary, but it's a pity that it's not strong enough, and I have accepted the inheritance of the thousand-year-old fox, and I don't know how strong I am now." ”
As he spoke, his complexion suddenly changed: "No!"
"The main quest hasn't been completed yet!"
"The Awoken is not him!"
At this time, Hua Arc had already woken up slowly, suddenly clenched his weapon, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the huge corpse.
He understood the ins and outs of everything almost instantly, and laughed: "The future is terrifying, it seems that the old man is troublesome." ”
