Chapter 8: Killing Women
The faces of the three men sank, and their hands unconsciously moved to the weapons.
Suddenly, a scream pierced the night sky, and the people on and off the stage swept towards the direction of Du Heng and the others with cold and resentful eyes.
The woman on the stage had a pale face, sunken cheeks, and dark eyes, and no whites at all. The guests in the audience, the skin on their faces began to rot and fall off, revealing blackened bones, and their eyes were yellow and green.
Suddenly, there were a few gusts of wind, and the white-clothed women on the stage shot one after another, like arrows, in the direction of Du Heng and the others. The snow-white clothes were torn off, and the body under the clothes was suddenly revealed. The originally delicate and soft skin has become wrinkled, and the shriveled ** sticks to the chest, but the belly is bulging like pregnancy.
These more than ten monsters flew towards Du Heng and the three of them with their teeth and claws, the nails on their fingers became extremely long in an instant, and the teeth in their mouths were as sharp and dense as brushes.
It's a soul-breaking bird! The soul-wounding bird of the soul of the unjustly killed woman!
Seeing this, the three of them sacrificed their weapons at the same time, and a burst of snow-white sword light that blinded people instantly lit up, illuminating the deep and dark courtyard as if it were day.
The sword light flew, the sword shadow was heavy, and a clanging sound sounded. The fingernails of the soul-wounding bird were as much metal as metal, and they did not break immediately when they collided with the sword.
The walking corpses that followed also threw themselves into this melee, and for a while, corpses were splattered everywhere, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
"Giggles!"
Suddenly, there was a laugh like a man and a chicken, and a humanoid thing wrapped in red came to rest on the ridge of the next house.
Du Heng's heart sank, he didn't expect to fall into the trap of the nocturnal wandering girl!
The nocturnal wanderer stood straight on the horned beast on the ridge of the roof, as if it had grown from the ridge, and her two eyes the size of copper bells glowed with a strange blue light, like ghost fires by the grave in the dark night. A large, wrinkled mouth curls to the sides at an exaggerated angle, grinning to the base of the ear.
Suddenly, two blue lights shot out from behind several people, and the cloud flag and the Yunrong sword echoed each other, instantly entangled the bony body of the nocturnal wanderer, and suddenly tightened. The two sword lights were like two pythons, straining their prey tightly, and the force seemed to strain all the internal organs of the prey, and spit it out from their mouths.
However, the nocturnal wanderer girl just lowered her head and looked curiously at the two fairy swords wrapped around her body, as if she was observing two strange insects.
The Lan brothers standing under the corridor frowned, and secretly said that it was not good.
The nocturnal wanderer seemed to be tired of playing, and shook its ugly little head from side to side, and suddenly raised its head and let out a scream of "chirp". The sound was like the collapse of the strings of an old piano, and the rusty iron grinding file, and when it reached the ears, it was like a fork knife piercing the eardrum. The five of them suddenly spurted blood from their noses and mouths, and they all fell to their knees in shock.
Yu Yang and Du Ruo's eyes rolled white, their bodies were crooked, and they fainted on the ground.
The nocturnal wandering girl's body slammed into a bulge, and her body was like a swollen ball, and with two "bangs", Yun Qi and Yun Rong Jian were bounced away and thrown into the lake.
Du Heng knelt on the ground, holding Yaohua in one hand, his eyes were bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and did not fall. The Lan brothers were so stunned that they leaned on the railing and couldn't move.
The Cloud Banner and Yun Rong Sword that fell in the lake broke through the water, and continued to fight with the remaining Soul Wounded Birds and Walking Corpses, trying not to let them get close to Du Heng's body.
Suddenly, a panicked scream came from the lake.
Du Hengqiang turned his head and glanced towards the lake, only to see Mu Yu's hands tightly gripping the edge of the stone steps of the lakeside house, one leg being dragged by a water ghost floating up from the lake. Behind this water ghost, dozens of water ghosts surfaced one after another, and a large piece of white flowers was quickly swimming towards Mu Yu.
The skin of those water ghosts has been soaked in water for many years, and it has become swollen and wrinkled, and it is indescribably disgusting.
Although Mu Yu held on to the stone steps tightly, his physical strength was not as good as that of the water ghost after all, and his hand holding the stone steps was slipping down little by little.
Du Heng didn't care about the severe pain caused by the internal injury, and struck Yaohua who was on the ground hard, and his body was immediately pushed out by the sword qi, and the vest was instantly exposed to the attack range of the Soul Wounding Bird.
A soul-wounding bird caught the gap, grabbed it with its claws, and with a "swish" sound, it grabbed three bloody wounds on Du Heng's back.
Du Heng suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain on his back, his body stagnated, and he fell into the lake with a thud, and the deep blue water of the lake suddenly bloomed with blood flowers.
The Lan brothers exclaimed in unison: "Du Gongzi! ”
With a hula, Du Heng suddenly came out of the water, slammed Yaohua towards the group of water ghosts, and swam desperately towards Mu Yu.
The Yaohua Sword spun rapidly in the air, instantly slashing the white flower water ghost to pieces, and the corpses flew sideways.
The water ghost who pulled Mu Yu's foot was cut off half of his head by Yaohua's sword qi, and his thin hand was loosened, Mu Yu couldn't use his strength, and fell into the water with a thud.
Du Heng was shocked, a fierce man plunged into the water, scooped up Mu Yu, and used the last force to throw Mu Yu up the stone steps. But due to physical exhaustion, he slowly sank.
Lan Wu was startled, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned Yun Rong from the melee, got into the water, wrapped around Du Heng's body, dragged him back to the shore, and continued to fight with the Soul Wounding Bird.
The nocturnal wanderer narrowed her eyes, as if she was wondering if these hard bones were not easy to gnaw. It slowly opened its arms, and its blood-colored red clothes were like a banner of a defeated army waving in the wind, hunting in the wind.
Du Heng, who was lying on the ground and dying, glanced at the nocturnal wanderer girl who was holding back her big moves, her heart was like ashes, and a sneer appeared on her face.
I can't imagine that the two young masters of my Du family will die in this small town in the wilderness today, and my Du family's reputation for hundreds of years will be wasted.
Du Heng just wanted to close his eyes and wait for death, but he caught a glimpse of Mu Yu's cyan clothes again, and his heart suddenly felt quiet.
However, being able to die with Mu Yu can be regarded as a life in vain.
Thinking of this, Du Heng reluctantly grabbed Mu Yu on the ground with his fingertips, held Mu Yu's white and slender hand, felt her breathing, and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
However, after waiting for a long time, Du Heng didn't wait for the kick at the door.
Du Hengqiang supported half of his body, only to see that the roofs around him were empty, and even the shadow of the nocturnal wandering girl was gone. Along with the ghosts of the Lonely Soul Bird, they all disappeared without a trace.
Du Heng was suspicious, and looked back at the Lan brothers who were leaning on the pillar, but saw that they were also full of confusion on their faces, and shook their heads at him.
What's going on? Could it be that the nocturnal wanderer suddenly changed her mind and let us live? Did it take the wrong medicine?
Du Heng breathed slightly, regained a little strength, and stood up with difficulty. He flipped his palm to summon Yaohua, and used it as a crutch on the ground, limping forward.
The Lan brothers also supported each other and moved to Du Heng's side.
The three remnants of the soldiers who had escaped death looked at each other with suspicion.
Du Heng frowned deeply, and said in a hoarse voice: "Could it be that the nocturnal wanderer girl is hiding somewhere?" ”
Lan Ji said weakly: "No, it could have killed us directly just now, and it couldn't commit an ambush and sneak attack." ”
Lan Wu stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his younger brother Lan Ji's mouth, and said in a deep voice: "It's not a way to wait like this," Lan Wu looked at Du Ruo and Yuyang who were lying by the lake, "Du Gongzi, you check the injuries of Miss Du and the others here, and I will check around with Lan Ji to see if the nocturnal wandering girl is really gone." ”
Du Heng nodded.
The Lan brothers supported each other and moved to the house on the roof where the nocturnal wanderer girl was standing just now, Du Heng leaned down with difficulty, and saw that Du Ruo and Yu Yang still had blood on their faces, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Du Gongzi!"
Du Heng heard Lan Ji scream, quickly stood up, and limped over. He walked around to the back of the house and was taken aback.
I saw the shriveled body of the nocturnal wanderer pressed against the wall of the house on the opposite side, her ugly little head drooping to the side, her eyes were dead and gray, and her beak had become hooked, as if she had restored her original body. In the middle of his chest, there was a spear, and black stinky blood splattered in all directions, staining the blood-colored cloth and making it a dark purple. And the head of the spear was not stained with black blood at all, and it shone with a sparkling cold light in the moonlight.
Du Heng was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and after a while, he spit out two words: "...... dead?" ”
Lan said, "It seems to be ...... It's indeed dead......"
Lan Wu frowned, turned his head to Du Heng and asked, "Du Gongzi, do you recognize this gun?" ”
Du Heng shook his head blankly. He found that when he left Mu Yu, he was like a fool, and he didn't know anything.
Lan Wu's brows furrowed even tighter: "Could that be what Du Gongzi said before, that friend surnamed Qu?" ”
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from the lake. The three of them were stunned and hurried back to the lake.
In the moonlight, a tall and straight figure stood beside Du Ruo and the others. The man was dressed in gray clothes, and what he held in his hand was Mu Yu's limp and delicate body. He gently put Mu Yu on the ground, and bowed to Du Heng and said, "Son's clever calculation, it is the second child of the Qu family, Qu Jichao." ”
Before the words fell, Qu Ji raised his hand, and the spear nailed to the wall flew back to his master silently. Then, there was a thud from the back of the house, and it seemed that the corpse of the nocturnal wanderer had fallen to the ground.
Qu Jichao no longer paid attention to the three Du Heng who were stunned on the side, stood up with the spear, squatted down, helped the three people who were lying on the ground unconscious to sit up, and gently massaged the three people behind the three with his palms.
Qu Jichao's movements are gentle, his demeanor is elegant, his expression is like water, and the facial lines outlined by the moonlight are angular, but they are not aggressive at all, but extremely gentle.
Du Heng couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart when he saw Qu Jichao's hand pushing around on Mu Yu's back.
After a while, the three of them woke up and turned around.
Mu Yu slowly opened his eyes, his hazy gaze stayed on Qu Jichao's face for a moment, and then moved to the spear next to him, then looked at Qu Jichao's face, and said softly: "Thank you Gongzi Qu for coming to the rescue." ”
"Someone from the Qu family is here? Why did this group of turtle grandchildren come......
Du Ruo didn't seem to be fully awake yet, and was babbling nonsense to himself. The eyes of Yuyang beside him were hollow, as if his soul had not yet returned to its place.
Qu Jichao didn't seem to care about Du Ruo's offensive words at all: "I'm sorry Miss Du, it's too late to come down." There was a hint of apology in his tone, and he turned his head to Mu Yu in his arms and said, "Can this girl pinch and calculate, and count the identity below?" ”
Mu Yu shook his head slightly: "How can I count, I just happened to recognize the salty pond gun." Mu Yu's face was as cold as usual, but there seemed to be a smile in his eyebrows.
This hint of laughter made Du Heng feel angry and crazy with jealousy.
Du Hengxin said, I greeted Mu Yu all the way, I took care of everything, I desperately saved Mu Yu when he fell into the water, and even didn't care about his own life, and I didn't exchange a word of thanks for her. Qu Jichao, a hairy boy who met for the first time, actually touched it twice to make Mu Yu look at him like this, I ......
Lan Ji saw the change in Du Heng's expression, and said with concern: "Du Gongzi, is the injury on his body too painful?" ”
Du Heng casually continued: "It hurts, but it's not the wound ......."
Qu Jichao slowly stood up and said, "It's rude, I don't know that Du Gongzi is also injured." As he spoke, he approached Du Heng and the three of them in a flash, and his hand moved in the air behind Du Heng's back.
Du Heng was disdainful in his heart, and just wanted to open Qu Jichao's hand, but he felt a heat behind him, and a strong warm current slowly penetrated from his back. The warm current travels back and forth in the internal organs, and it is extremely comfortable and enjoyable.
Du Heng secretly rolled his eyes, hum, let your kid treat my injuries first, and then settle accounts with you when I recover.
After a while, Qu Jichao healed the injuries of all six people.
Yu Yang stood beside Du Heng again, and said with great concern: "Son, how are you?" It's all because my cultivation is too shallow, I failed to protect my son, and let my son suffer so many injuries, I'm really ......guilty."
Du Heng interrupted: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, you yourself are no better." ”
Du Ruo finally sobered up, she realized that she had just said nothing, and she couldn't let go of her face and apologize directly, so she said haha: "Thanks to Qu Gongzi for coming, I didn't expect that Qu Gongzi could find this small city and just saved us, what a coincidence, what a coincidence, ......what a coincidence."
Qu Jichao was stunned: "City? Miss Du laughed, this salt seller Ze is dozens of miles away, how can there be any city! ”
