Qi Lu did not give up, his feet continued to fly, and from time to time he slashed the monsters that blocked his progress. He easily crossed the peak, first landing in the middle of the steep slope, and then kicking on the ground, and the person had reached the top of the mountain, where the Water Spirit Palace was located.
There was silence in front of the palace, Qi Lu didn't think about it, the long sword swiped the door lock, the dark night suddenly turned into day, the light was dazzling, and finally his eyesight returned to normal, and he saw a dazzling light burst out of the door.
Qi Lu stretched out his hand to push open the door of the hall, and as soon as he leaned in, the door inlaid with gold nails closed silently. He was surprised to find that the whole hall was shining with white light, which was not coming from a lampstand, but more like some kind of luminous liquid flowing in the air, with an indescribable strange feeling.
Looking down, there was a precious red carpet under his feet, leading from the edge of the door to the throne at the end, behind which a dense beaded curtain hung down.
Is Bai Suzhen giving orders behind this curtain? Qi Lu secretly looked around, but he couldn't see a single figure.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound behind him, and it seemed that someone was walking towards the palace. Was it a soldier who noticed the anomaly and rushed to hear the news? Qi Lu was startled, and immediately hid behind the door.
The person who came pushed the door and walked in as if he was familiar with the road, Qi Lu raised his hand elegantly, and the long sword swung out, but it suddenly stopped when the target was close at hand.
The white light in the hall suddenly went out, but Qi Lu still saw clearly that the person who came was a plainly dressed maid, so he stopped the attack in time.
Just as he was putting away his sword in his hand and thinking about how to speak, he saw the maid walking straight forward without looking at Qi Lu at all. There was no expression on her face, and there was no panic in her steps, as if she was the only one in the whole palace.
Strange thing, is she blind and can't see me? Qi Lu watched as the maid lifted the bead curtain, and her figure disappeared behind the curtain. The hall fell into darkness again, and Qi Lu only heard his heart beating faintly.
Suddenly, Qi Lu realized a strange phenomenon, that is, the entire Water Spirit Palace, even including the neighboring official road before he entered the door, there was not a single guard in sight, which was too unreasonable!
Before Qi Lu could find an answer, a scream that seemed to be a dying man came from behind the bead curtain, very similar to the voice of the maid who passed by Qi Lu just now.
Qi Lu jumped up and flew straight towards the bead curtain behind the throne, but his figure stopped in front of the bead curtain.
A strange thing that made people palpitate happened before his eyes, because Qi Lu saw blood. It was not a little bit, it was simply a sea of blood, soaked through the red carpet and stained the marble floor, and it was slowly pouring out from under the beaded curtain.
The sea of blood continued to surge forward, about to overflow the soles of Qi Lu's shoes. He saw the beads on the curtain staring at him like eyeballs in the darkness. Through the bead curtain, Qi Lu found that something transparent seemed to be flashing behind the curtain. And the maid has mysteriously disappeared.
Just when Qi Lu decided to cut off the bead curtain to inspect the movement inside, suddenly there was a buzzing sound like a buzz behind him, and he looked back in shock, only to see countless beetles flying towards him in the dark palace.
Before Qi Lu could dodge these disgusting bugs, they swarmed and covered Qi Lu's body. The rich, rancid smell that made people want to vomit began to fill the air in the palace.
"Whoever trespasses into the Water Spirit Palace, only death can wash away your sins." In the dark corner, the figure of Elder Mowgli flashed.
"Sure enough, it's you who is making trouble!" The golden rainbow sword in Qi Lu's hand was already horizontal in front of his chest. "What kind of conspiracy do you have, even Xu Xian won't let go?"
"You can only go to Lord Yama to find the answer to this question." Elder Wuji's crisp answer was as if he had changed into a different person.
"When you are dying, you dare to be so arrogant!" Qi Lu jumped like lightning and launched an attack, but unfortunately his body fell like a boulder as soon as he flew into the air.
The beetle teeth attached to the body snapped into each other like Liu Blades, and the yellow saliva flowing from the mouth was quietly seeping into Qi Lu's skin, paralyzing his consciousness and senses.
The sea of blood disappeared, and Qi Lu barely stood up with his sword supporting the ground, but his mind was already dizzy.
"Do you know what happens when you are gathered by my servants?"
Burial beetles! Qi Lu immediately recognized the names of the disgusting bugs crawling all over his body. These little crumbs from the shadows can gnaw away a corpse in a matter of minutes.
"If I give the order, my servants will eat you without even the bones and dregs. So, you'd better be obedient. ”
The dizziness became stronger and stronger, but Qi Lu laughed. "It's a pity, this level of sorcery can't kill me!"
While speaking, Qi Lu formed the Five Thunder Seals and shouted: "Tianxuan Taiyi, eliminate demons and evil, break!" ”
In an instant, countless spirit runes flew out from behind Qi Lu, and they focused together like birds above his head, turning into a golden net and falling straight down, enveloping all those burial beetles. And Qi Lu himself actually saw that he was out of the net as if he were nothing.
"O my poor servants!" At this moment, Elder Wuji's voice was mixed with a tone that didn't know whether it was anger or pain. His hand has become a ghost claw, and he grabs it straight towards Qi Lu!
Qi Lu didn't move at all, raised his sword and stabbed at the attacking Wuji Elder, the speed was so fast that the sword was almost invisible, even in the darkness where only the moonlight shone, it was only a fleeting light.
"Whew!" With a sound, there was a sound like a stab in the back, and Qi Lu's golden rainbow sword pierced Elder Wuji's chest.
"What a fast sword!" Elder Wuji knelt on one knee, then fell to the ground again, turning into a toad with a copper coin-sized pimple on its back.
The source of demonic energy stirred, and something lurked in the depths of darkness.
It was just a moment of silence, and the beautiful singing voice continued to reach his ears around Qi Lu, and before he could react, he found that his body was as heavy as a scale.
Above the palace, a woman emitted a faint white light, her figure was blurry, making it difficult to see her true face.
Seeing that Qi Lu had discovered his traces, the woman's lips were tightly closed, and there was silence all around. Her body was fluctuating in the palace, but she was getting closer and closer to Qi Lu.
Qi Lu finally saw the woman's appearance clearly, and suddenly shuddered. His eyes were fixed on the woman's face, full of fear.
The mysterious woman's snake-like hair, although weird, can't make Qi Lu terrifying, what really surprises people is her face! This face is blank! There are no eyebrows, no eyes, no nose, no mouth, just a smooth outline like white paper.
Qi Lu remembered that when he first came to Hangzhou, he met this faceless woman on the street, and he also appeared briefly when he was fighting with Xu Xian, listening to the tone of her conversation with Xu Xian, it seemed that there was a deep relationship between the two.
But this is not a reason for Qi Lu to be afraid, the reason why Qi Lu is afraid at the moment is why she is here?
"You're finally here."
A pair of eyes suddenly opened under the woman's forehead, and she stared at Qi Lu intently, her pupils shining like black diamonds in the moonlight.
"But you can't answer anymore. Because you heard my singing, Mr. Qi. ”
Qi Lu was silent, as if he was bound by a spell, and the woman's jade lips also showed a light smile, which was a smug smile when she saw her prey fall into a trap.
"I am the person you are looking for, the city lord of Tianwu City, Bai Suzhen."
There was a treacherous emotion in her eyes, both sad and somehow. She continued, "I warned you in the human world that you shouldn't have come here, but you came anyway. ”
"Ahem!" Qi Lu coughed dryly, and said to Bai Suzhen, who had wide apricot eyes and a stunned face: "It turned out that the city lord was here, I was really disrespectful." ”
"You didn't hear my singing?"
"I hear you." In response to Bai Suzhen's stunned whispers, Qi Lu responded with actions.
Qi Lu, who rose into the air, slashed down with a sword at Bai Suzhen in the air, straight through his chest from his neck, Bai Suzhen's body was divided into two, and his whole body leaned back.
However, in the next second, Bai Suzhen's figure closed and did not move, only Qi Lu's long sword missed, slashing through the emptiness.
The second sword immediately struck, although it slashed through her body, but there was no sound of cutting flesh and bones from the sword body, only Bai Suzhen was heard eating and laughing.
"It seems that you did hear my singing. Then you won't be able to kill me. ”
Just like the sailors in ancient Greek legends who were bewitched by the banshee sirens, those who heard Bai Suzhen's singing would unconsciously take away their souls and become defenseless.
"Mr. Qi, you can cut yourself off." Bai Suzhen whispered softly, tempting him like a devil.
Qi Lu's eyes closed slightly, and the long sword in his hand was raised again.
Bai Suzhen's expression was slightly surprised, because this handsome young man who wielded a sharp blade and failed to succeed felt like a different person at this moment.
"You ......"
Before Bai Suzhen finished speaking, Qi Lu had already opened his eyes, and a golden light bloomed in his eyes.
Bai Suzhen suddenly exclaimed, and the sword body fell from the top of her head again. Although it was the same situation as before, this time it was Bai Suzhen who was split in half by a sharp sword.
However, Qi Lu also failed to show a victorious expression. Because when he landed on one knee, Bai Suzhen's body did not fall to the ground as he thought.
"So you're not human." Bai Suzhen's figure appeared intact above Qi Lu.
"Good eyesight!" Qi Lu praised, and the sword blade was raised again.
"I thought that my ultimate opponent would be Fahai, but creation makes people...... For a thousand years, I have been waiting for this day for the arrival of the messenger of God......" Bai Suzhen's resentful voice spread throughout the palace, accompanied by an unwilling voice bewitchingly narrated.
"Die, die! Fahai will end up like you! ”
After the tone changed, the white figure rushed to Qi Lu with a strong wind, and the demonic energy erupted from her body like a shock wave!
