Volume I: Chapter 45: The Gate of Hades (3)
"The Gate of Hades is open?" Cao Ren said, concentrating on gathering qi and feeling the breath nearby, yes, the underworld gate is indeed open. However, what surprised Cao Ren was that logically speaking, the Hades Gate could only be opened after four o'clock in the morning to summon the evil undead, and now it was just past ten o'clock, and the effect of opening the Hades Gate at this time was no different from the effect of the Yin Si coming to the world to take away the ghosts on weekdays, so why bother the demons to plan this matter? Thinking of this, Cao Ren couldn't help but ask the demon Luo Killing Madness: "Since you chose to open the Hades Gate at this time, why don't you take action with the help of Yin Si when you come and go, why bother going to great lengths?" β
Mo Luo glanced at Cao Ren madly, smiled disdainfully, and said, "Naturally, it's different. β
"What's the difference?" Cao Ren asked.
Mo Luo laughed wildly and explained, "Of course, the flow of the undercurrent is different! β
"Undercurrent flow?" Cao Ren muttered a sentence and began to think about it, indeed, there must be an official way to open the underworld gate when the Yin Si comes and goes, and the underworld gate opens in a small range, so there are fewer underworlds; And the demon type must be destructive when opening the underworld, and the opening range is large, and the underworld flow will naturally be more. However, the so-called undercurrent is just the flow of yin qi and spirits, and what can the amount of this kind of thing determine?
"I saw doubt and fear in your eyes." Mo Luo Killer threw back the sentence that Cao Ren had just said, then took a deep breath and said, "I still have to verify the Yin Qi concentration of the undercurrent. β
Cao Ren didn't speak, he could see from Mo Luo's crazy eyes that something very bad would happen next.
Moro smiled maniacally, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned two corpses.
"I see!" Cao Ren held the angry blood blade across his chest and said, "These corpses are indeed your 'masterpieces'. β
"Corpses?" Mo Luo looked at Cao Ren proudly and took a few steps forward, "Soon it won't be." β
Cao Ren looked and saw that the two corpse spirits had been standing there sniffing hard, and suddenly, the two corpse spirits became extremely excited, they roared, and then, horns stretched forward on both sides of their heads, their eyes turned blood red, their skin became a little black, and their bodies became strong and bruised. The two corpse spirits after the transformation took a few steps towards Cao Ren, one in front of the other and one in the other, each summoned a giant axe and held it in his hand.
"What is this?" Cao Ren muttered, although he was a little surprised, but he still remained calm, leaning over slightly, ready for battle.
Mo Luo Killer stood there without moving, just intervening his hand and looking at everything in front of him, "This is the blood devil." β
"Blood Devil?" Cao Ren tightened his grip on the knife and stared intently at the two blood demons in front of him.
"Enjoy!" Moro laughed maniacally, straightened his clothes, and turned to walk up the hill.
Seeing that Mo Luo was killing mad and leaving, Cao Ren wanted to chase after him, but he was blocked by these two blood devils, so he had to solve the matter in front of him first. Cao Ren slashed at one of them with a knife, but who knew that the blood devil was extremely fast, and he actually dodged Cao Ren's blow. Cao Ren was shocked, he didn't expect that the strength of this group of monsters would be even stronger than expected.
A blood devil laughed sharply, and with an axe, he slashed at Cao Ren. Cao Ren teleported behind the blood devil, turned around and slashed at its body. The Blood Devil cried out in pain, turned around and swung his axe, slashing at Cao Ren. Cao Ren hurriedly dodged, and took the opportunity to get close to another knife, which pushed a blood devil two steps away.
"It's really durable...... Cao Ren muttered as he stepped forward and kicked the blood devil to the ground with a roundabout kick, then quickly turned around and prepared to face the other one. Who knew that at this time, another blood devil had already appeared behind Cao Ren, and with a swing of the axe, it slashed heavily at the wound on Cao Ren's abdomen just now, causing Cao Ren to spit out a mouthful of blood violently.
Cao Ren teleported to the side ten steps away from the two blood devils, knelt on one knee and wore rough clothes, holding the angry blood blade in one hand and sticking it into the ground to support his body, while his eyes kept staring at the two monsters, and he didn't dare to relax for a moment.
The Blood Devil who had just injured Cao Ren turned his head to look at Cao Ren, possessed and pulled up the one that had fallen to the ground, and moved a few steps in the direction of Cao Ren, raising his axe to attack again, while the Blood Devil who had just stood up on the ground also raised his axe and was ready to cooperate with its companions.
This surprised Cao Ren, not to mention the corpse spirits, even ordinary blood spirits don't have a sense of teamwork, and the two demonized monsters in front of him actually want to cooperate, which is really a little scary.
Cao Ren stood up strongly, and the horizontal knife was ready to meet the enemy. The corpse spirit that walked in front of it struck first, and came to Cao Ren as if it were teleporting, and raised its axe to chop it down. Cao Ren swung his sword upwards to block, pointed his sword at his opponent with his other hand, and chanted "Red Dragon Array", only to see a fire dragon soar out, pass through the body of the blood demon, and burn the blood devil to ashes.
When the other blood devil saw that his companion was dead, he roared angrily, brandished his axe, and slashed at Cao Ren. Cao Ren was about to shoot back, but he only heard a "bang" gunshot, and the head of the blood devil was exploded into plasma, and then the blood devil also turned into ashes and disappeared.
Cao Ren saw that his opponents had been defeated, and he didn't feel any strange aura around him, so he retracted the angry blood blade. He took a deep breath and pulled out the box of cigars from the inside of his suit with a little shaky hands.
"It's okay, team leader." Ling Yuyan's voice came from Cao Ren's walkie-talkie.
"It's fine." Cao Ren pressed the small button of the miniature walkie-talkie on the collar of his shirt, replied weakly, lit a cigar, and put the wooden box back in his pocket.
The walkie-talkie rang again: "I'm sorry, team leader, I encountered an obstacle when I went up the mountain, and I was late to the sniper site." β
"I don't blame you." Cao Ren took a puff of his cigar and covered the wound on his abdomen with his hand, "You're not hurt, are you?" β
"No," Ling Yuyan spoke again on the walkie-talkie, "I was almost cut by a monster, but it was Zhang Jianyun who saved me." β
"Zhang Jianyun ......" Cao Ren smiled and asked again, "Is Zhang Jianyun by your side?" β
"Nope." Ling Yuyan said, "When he saw that Team Leader Xiahou was not there, he went to the mountain. β
"That'll be fine." Cao Ren took a deep breath of his cigar and sat down on a stone nearby, "You go up the mountain first to support Team Leader Xiahou, and this seat will rush over immediately." β
"Order!"
Cao Ren pressed the small button on the walkie-talkie again, sat down on the stone and quickly took two puffs of cigar, then threw the rest on the ground and crushed it with his foot. Then he stood up, flicked the dust off his body, and walked up the hill.
At this time, Xiahoudun had come to a small forest halfway up the mountainside, and he had come to chase a dark shadow. Xiahoudun walked in the woods, looking for the strange figure he had just seen. Suddenly, he felt the aura behind him, so he turned around and said, "You can come out and show your face, right?" β
The figure finally walked out of the woods, with gray hair, a retro suit, and a book in his hand, all of which surprised Xiahoudun, and the person who came turned out to be the source of the sin blade.
"Sin Blade Source?" Xiahoudun's eyes widened, looking at the demon class walking towards him.
"It's actually discovered by you," Sin Blade Yuan held the book and slowly moved towards Xiahoudun, "Long time no see, Xiahou Team Leader." β
"Weren't you killed by Lu Bu?" Xiahoudun asked with a puzzled expression.
"Yes, Lu Bu almost killed me." Sin Blade Yuan smiled and got closer and closer to Xiahoudun, "But he didn't give me the final blow, my death was just wishful thinking on your part." β
Didn't give him the final blow? For some reason, Xiahoudun suddenly began to think about it, was it because Lu Bu didn't find out that the source of the sin blade was not dead? This probability is not high, with Lu Bu's strength, he should be able to easily judge the state of the opponent. Could it be that Lu Bu let him go? Xiahou thought about it, and waved his hand to summon the Nine Infant Tooth Gun.
"Nine baby tooth guns, what a beautiful gun." Sin Blade Yuan praised it, but there was no physical response, as if he simply wanted to say that, and didn't want to fight with Xiahoudun.
"How?" Xiahoudun pointed a gun at the source of the sin blade, "Aren't you going to make a move?" β
"Is this necessary?" Sin Blade Yuan replied in a disdainful tone: "Last time in the hospital, the gap in our strength was already obvious. Losing to me once can only be said to be beyond my strength, and it would be stupid to fight with me again. β
"What did you say?" When Xiahoudun heard this, the green tendons on his face burst out. "Look at the guns!" As he spoke, Xiahou Yan clenched the Nine Infant Spear, lunged forward, and swung the spear towards the source of the Sin Blade.
The source of the sin blade dodged back, and said sarcastically: "It's really naΓ―ve, if you don't agree with a word, you will do it." β
Xiahoudun didn't speak, turned around and jumped, and stabbed Sin Blade Source in the throat again. The source of the sin blade dodged sideways and was not hit. Xiahoudun withdrew his gun with one hand, and threw the gun at the lower limb of the source of the sin blade. The source of the sin blade jumped slightly, and dodged the attack again. In just a few rounds of back and forth, Xiahoudun has been taking the initiative to attack, but the source of the sin blade has been retreating without a fight, which makes Xiahoudun more and more angry.
"What do you mean!" Xiahoudun stuck the gun on the ground and roared angrily, "Hiding and dodging, like a man." β
"Men?" Sin Blade Yuan laughed, "Team Leader Xiahou is really joking, I am not a human being, I am a demon." β
Xiahoudun didn't speak, drew his gun, and prepared to attack again.
"Speaking of which, Team Leader Xiahou doesn't look like a man." Sin Blade Yuan said with a smile: "That day, in the hospital, I actually broke into the demon barrier array with my own woman, and I couldn't take her out after I came in. Is a person who can't even protect his beloved qualified to preface the word 'man' in front of others? β
"Look at the guns!" Xiahoudun was so angry by the source of the sin blade that he stepped forward and shot again, and roared angrily: "Just a demon, dare to speak wildly in front of this seat!" β
Sin Blade laughed and continued to dodge backwards.
Xiahoudun teleported forward, wielding his gun and pretending to pick his jaw from the source of the sin blade. Seeing this, the source of the sin blade naturally took a step back, wanting to dodge. Who knew that Xiahoudun teleported, came to the back of the source of the sin blade, turned around and smashed, and the gun hit the right shoulder of the sin blade source heavily. Sin Blade Yuan fell to one knee with his right shoulder in pain, and spat out a mouthful of blood. Xiahoudun wanted to take advantage of the victory to give another blow, but he was teleported aside by the source of the sin blade and dodged.
"I still underestimate him." Sin Blade Yuan clasped his right shoulder and slowly stood up.
Xiahoudun glared at the source of the sin blade, raised his gun to the right, and said, "Don't you make a move?" β
Sin Blade Yuan's expression also became serious, but he still didn't plan to make a move, but looked up at the sky, and then said to Xiahoudun with a wicked smile: "Team leader Xiahou, haven't you noticed it yet?" β
When Xiahou heard Sin Blade Yuan say this, he put down the gun, closed his eyes and carefully felt the surrounding breath, suddenly, he opened his eyes, looked at Sin Blade Source in surprise, and said, "The Hades Gate has been opened?" β
"Yes, Team Leader Xiahou," Sin Blade Yuan laughed loudly, "You have failed!" β
"What do you mean?" Xiahou looked at the source of the sin blade with contempt, he didn't know why the demons wanted to open the underworld gate at this time, and he didn't know what impact the opening of the underworld gate would bring.
Sin Blade Yuan didn't answer, just stared at Xiahoudun for a while, said "There will be a period later", and then teleported to the direction of the top of the mountain.
Seeing this, Xiahoudun was startled at first, and then immediately prepared to chase after the mountain, but just as he raised his legs, he was stopped by two blood devils.
"What is this?" Xiahoudun looked at the two monsters in front of him in surprise, and raised his gun to prepare to meet the enemy.
Suddenly, only two gunshots were heard, "bang" and "bang", and the two blood devils fell to the ground in response. Then, Zhang Jianyun's voice came from the walkie-talkie on Xiahoudun's chest, "Team leader, the sniper point has just been put in place, are you okay?" β
"It's fine." Xiahoudun pressed the walkie-talkie switch, answered, and then asked, "Can you see the direction of the demon who just escaped from where you are?" β
"He fled in the direction of the top of the mountain," Zhang Jianyun replied, "It seems to be in the direction of the command camp of the Third Special Operations Team." β
"Third Special Forces?" Xiahou Dun's heart tightened, could it be that the traitor he said was Lu Bu? Could it really be the source of the sin blade that Lu Bu deliberately let go? With questions, Xiahoudun said again: "I'll go up the mountain now, and you will cover for me." β
"Order!" Zhang Jianyun replied, and added, "There is one more thing, team leader, the Demon Barrier Array seems to have been withdrawn." β
Retracted? Xiahoudun calmed down and felt it, and it was indeed withdrawn. This made him very surprised in his heart, these demons could obviously use the demon barrier to do a big job at this time, why did they take back the demon barrier at this time? Is it just to destroy the gates of hell?
"Team leader?" Zhang Jianyun didn't receive Xiahoudun's reply for a long time, so he heard again.
"I see, you stay safe." Xiahoudun came back to his senses, answered a sentence, turned off the walkie-talkie, and went up the mountain.
