Chapter Seventy-Six: A Thousand Faces
The expected flight of flesh and blood did not appear, but was replaced by a piercing smile like coming from the abyss, and a sudden gray-black smoke.
The naked and voluptuous female body, like a punctured balloon, inflated violently and then deflated.
With Uesugi Kiyoshi as the center, a large circular area is formed, and it is tightly covered by the swarming gray mist.
Countless human face-like souls roared in the gray mist, their voices were poignant and fierce, and there was some irrepressible presumptuousness, like a thug who had been imprisoned for a long time, suddenly gaining freedom, frantically destroying everything that could be destroyed in front of him.
"Moon with a Thousand Faces", this is "Thousand Faces".
The hideous, inhuman-looking human face turned their heads in unison with the laughter of the women, like hunters who had suddenly found their target.
Thousands of eyes, with the ruthlessness and resentment that is so strong that it can't be dissolved, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi together, but in exchange for a clear smile.
"If this is your method of pressing the bottom of the box, then after today, I am afraid that the name of a god who beheaded the knife will be engraved on my knife again."
"Don't you even dare to confront me head-on?"
It's not entirely agitated.
Perhaps the deterrent effect of appearing in human form is not enough, and these face ghosts can't give Uesugi Kiyoshi enough suppressive power at all, and the inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart when he first met has disappeared.
Maybe Hydra is worthy of the title of god, but her "dependents" are still not enough for Uesugi Kiyoshi to pay attention to.
"Hee-hee... Let's wait until you can get rid of my little cuties. β
"Young... Oh no, it's not a young little brother. β
"Since you've rejected my kindness..."
"Then, whether you become a puppet or become the nourishment of the Sea of Thousand Souls, you are to blame."
"Come on... Let me see what else you can surprise me! β
After a cold snort, the sword in both hands became a positive grip, his ears moved slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes.
The endless black mist clouded his vision, rendering his vision useless.
However, even so, with his current keen five senses, it was not difficult to deal with this kind of ghost that did not seem to be a threat by hearing aloneβthis kind of thing might be very effective against ordinary people, and it was a bit whimsical to deal with the transcendent.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's only concern is that he will be consumed to death by this vast ghost.
He once did a self-analysis, analyzed the components of his combat power, and came to the conclusion that as a "swordsman", he was absolutely qualified.
Raids, drawing knives, cutting down, rebounding, frontal attack, partial tricks, and even physical skills to assist swordsmanship, he is extremely talented, extremely fast, and has achieved remarkable results.
If he were to have a sword duel with anyone, he would never have any worries, which was his confidence in the professional field.
But... The battle between the transcendent is not as simple as a competition.
Counting the extraordinary combat power, Uesugi Kiyoshi can now command the "Inujin Scroll", part of the "Demon Sword Scroll", as well as two ghost-slaying blades, and a purgatory ghost hand.
These are not weak when taken out individually, and can even be called strong.
But Uesugi Kiyoshi is a little biased.
If you make a six-pointed star map for him, he will definitely see the bottom of one of them.
He doesn't have the means of "group attack", and he can only cut down one by one against multiple enemies.
This is also the difference between him and the traditional swordsman, most of his extraordinary strength comes from the Hundred Ghost Painted Scrolls, and the "sword qi" that a swordsman cultivator at the level of a swordsman can master is not needed.
This is also why he brought people to exterminate Hydra, instead of rushing to the enemy's lair with a single sword like the chivalrous man in the room, if someone used the crowd tactics to bully him and drain his physical strength and energy, he really couldn't do anything.
That's pretty much it.
But he could only grit his teeth, and he had all arrived here, but there was no turning back.
From the thousands of voices, the wailing of ghosts and the howling of the wind were recognized, and the young man with his eyes closed moved his feet and slashed out with a knife.
Like a green lotus blooming in the mud, the two knives danced into a disc-like light and shadow, fiercely cutting through the thick mist.
There was a faint mirage lingering on the tip of the knife, and this power seemed to have a good restraint effect on the human face soul, and after the sword with the mirage was added, those souls quickly melted and disintegrated like ice and snow meeting flames.
Can... There are too many of them.
The dazed ghosts are as boundless as the sea under their feet, they have no human feelings at all, unlike those gangsters in Tokyo, who were killed by Uesugi Kiyoshi and then exploded and fell apart.
Even if Uesugi Kiyoshi went back and forth, the sword dance was wild, and he successfully killed the thousands of souls, but the rest were still not afraid of death, and the body of Ruowu rushed straight to Uesugi Kiyoshi and launched a suicide attack.
Every time he was hit by this thousand-faced revenant, a bone-chilling coldness came from the bottom of his heart, and at the same time, Uesugi Kiyoshi's movements would become sluggish.
If he is successfully attacked by all the undead, then his soul is estimated to be frozen, and he may be brain dead in reality.
Although he has the trick to escape, but he was forced to retreat by the minions like this, he was really unwilling, and he fled as soon as he fought, he was also sorry for the master's teaching, and he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.
Time passed second by second, under the shroud of gray fog, Liu Longren had a hard time coming to help, and it was not easy for him to maintain this ice layer and create a foothold for Uesugi Qing, and the battle situation gradually stalemate.
In the dream mirror, there is no physical strength, and all that is consumed is mental power, and even if Uesugi Kiyoshi is mentally tough, he can't withstand such a group battle.
The swordsman's full strength to make a sword, in reality, is an extremely physically demanding exercise, and a strong sword is enough to make ordinary untrained people lose their strength, and swinging the sword in the dream mirror is also a great burden on Uesugi Kiyoshi.
His kung fu for a while, the battle was fruitful, and about one-tenth of the thousand-faced revenant souls were killed by him, but the rest were still covered by the sky and the sun, dense.
On the contrary, it was Hydra himself, but he disappeared, and if he was silent, he probably had the idea of using this thousand-faced ghost to consume Uesugi to death.
Turning around and jumping, a swallow slashed diagonally, splitting the shadows of several revenants, Uesugi Kiyoshi landed again, only to hear a click, and the ice surface that was not solid in itself had cracked.
This is not the only broken ice, but the ice that can be touched is already potholed and broken.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's strength is still too great for this kind of ice.
β...β
"I can't drag it any longer, the ice can't bear it, and I'll be exhausted!"
"Damn! As soon as you come up, you have to force out the body of the dog god! After that trick, the mirage dried up, and I couldn't deal with Hydra anymore! β
"The huge hydra form she just had just now is definitely her god's body!"
"I also want to use the body of the dog god to urge that sword to kill her god body..."
While thinking about it, the cloud-like ghosts gathered again, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city.
Uesugi called out the defense of the ghost army early in the morning, and hunted in a white robe, his hands were clenched, and his face was solemn.
Another round of battle is about to begin.
At this moment, a somewhat magnetic male voice suddenly sounded from Kiyoshi Uesugi's head.
"Heh..."
"It seems that you need a little help from Uncle Ben?"
