Volume I: Chapter 68: The Duel (4)

"Is it up to you?" Qiu Daochong looked at Xiahoudun with disdain, waved his right hand to the side, and instantly a crescent shovel appeared in his hand. The crescent shovel has blades at both ends, but one side is a concave shovel, like a crescent moon, and the convex shovel on the other side, like an axe, connected by a dark gray long rod of special material in the middle, called "Chaos Crescent Shovel".

Xiahoudun didn't say a word, stepped forward with a gun in both hands, and stepped forward to pierce Qiu Daochong's chest.

Qiu Daochong dodged sideways, swung the shovel upward, and used the concave shovel to take Xiahoudun's throat.

Cao Cao stepped forward, summoned his sword, blocked Qiu Daochong's attack, and then swung his sword, forcing that Qiu Daochong back two steps. Look at Cao Cao's sword, the sword body is as bright as snow, the hilt has a light blue metallic luster, there is no sword grid, and the name is "Xiao Ling". Cao Cao flirted the sword body with his hand, recited "Sword Dance in Front of the Formation", and then flicked it hard, and the blade of the sword actually emitted the sound of a guqin.

When Xiahoudun heard this voice, his spiritual power suddenly increased greatly, and he stepped forward and waved his gun, and he actually swung out a black dragon. The black dragon flew and rushed straight towards Qiu Daochong.

Qiu Dao Chong first crossed the crescent shovel to block the dragon's attack, and then took the opportunity to swing the shovel and beat the dragon into a puff of black smoke.

"Look at the guns!" Xiahoudun didn't wait for Qiu Daochong to react, and sent the gun forward, stabbing at Qiu Daochong's face.

Qiu Daochong hurriedly dodged, but he couldn't dodge, and a blood path was drawn on his forehead. He took the opportunity to attack with a shovel, and slashed the convex shovel side towards Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun couldn't block it, his chest was slashed, blood gushed out, and he had to take a few steps back, put the gun on the ground, covered his chest with one hand, and held the barrel of the gun with the other, propping it up.

"Waste is waste!" Qiu Daochong sneered and rubbed the blood on his forehead with his hand.

Cao Cao flicked the sword again, and recited the "Radical Dance Song", and then there was another sound of the guqin.

When Xiahoudun heard this voice, the blood in his chest stopped flowing in an instant, and the wound was more than half healed, and it was still healing rapidly.

Qiu Daochong snorted, and stepped forward to slash at Xiahou Dun.

Xiahoudun blocked with a horizontal spear, pushed upwards hard, and forced Qiu Daochong back.

Qiu Dao Chong took two steps back, opened his mouth, and spat out a white pillar of light mixed with red lightning, and rushed straight towards Xiahou Xuan.

"Xiahoudun be careful!" Seeing this, Xun Yu hurriedly stepped forward, pointed his sword in his right hand forward, and summoned a light blue barrier in front of Xiahou Xuan.

Who knew that the white pillar of light was extremely violent, and it actually broke through the barrier set by Xun Yu in one fell swoop. However, before Xun Yu could panic, a black barrier appeared in front of Xiahoudun, and when this pillar of light was momentarily shattered, it shattered into powder.

Xun Yu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, smiled slightly, and said, "It's even stronger than my barrier, amazing, Mr. Jia." ”

"Hey," Jia Xu hurriedly waved his hand modestly, "Without Deputy Director Xun's previous style, I don't dare to guarantee to stop it." ”

After Qiu Daochong spit out the white pillar of light, he may have used some too much force, and stood there panting.

"It seems that this Qiu Dao Chong's strength is not ordinary," Xun Yu's expression suddenly became serious, "I'm afraid Team Leader Xiahou is not his opponent." ”

Jia Xu gently held the monocle and said, "Let's go together!" ”

This is Xu Chu also stepped forward, summoned a weapon, and said, "I'll go up too!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately teleported behind everyone, and then slapped the sword body with his hand, and lightly recited the "Array Drum Song", and suddenly let out a burst of war drums. The drums fell, and everyone's spiritual power strengthened. Cao Cao was the only one who had consumed too much spiritual power, and he was panting heavily, "Everyone, let's take a breath!" ”

Xiahoudun took the lead and stepped forward to shoot Qiu Daochong's throat.

Qiu Dao Chongcai came to his senses and hurriedly retreated backwards, retreating several steps in a row, and then he took a posture and prepared to counterattack.

Xiahou Dan lowered the head of the spear and attacked Qiu Daochong's leg.

Qiu Daochong took a few steps back in small steps, saw the opportunity, jumped up and kicked Xiahoudun in a roundabout kick, saw Xiahoudun dodging the defense, and slashed the convex shovel of the crescent shovel towards Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun blocked the gun horizontally, but did not retreat at all, clenched the barrel of the gun with both hands, let Qiu Daochong's blade slip diagonally, and then regardless of any marksmanship, raised his hand and swung the tail of the gun at Qiu Daochong, forcing Qiu Daochong to not attack, thus seizing the opportunity.

Seeing this, Qiu Dao Chong raised his hand, and five black lightning bolts from his five fingers rushed towards Xiahou Xuan.

Xun Yu hurriedly cast a light blue protective barrier and stood in front of Xiahou Xuan, blocking the attack for him.

Xiahou waited for the protective barrier to be broken, and stepped forward to use marksmanship, piercing, stabbing, taking, and pounce steadily, using the routine flexibly, not letting Qiu Daochong see any flaws, and for a while beating that Qiu Daochong only had the ability to parry but had no power to fight back.

Qiu Dao Chong saw that Xiahoudun's offensive was so rapid, and he also expected that if he delayed like this any longer, he would probably consume his physical strength in vain, so he no longer dodged the defense, but was determined to fight to the death, so he stopped retreating, raised the crescent shovel and prepared to attack. But who knew that he was just about to step forward to make a move, but his feet were fixed by a black shadow, and it turned out that he was dragged by Xu Chu, who turned into a black shadow. Qiu Daochong hurriedly poked the ground with one side of the concave shovel. Unexpectedly, before the crescent shovel landed, the left and right hands were fixed by a light blue and a black smoke ball respectively. Seeing this, Qiu Daochong couldn't help shouting: "Damn! ”

Xiahoudun did not hesitate, clenched the Nine Infant Spear with both hands, stepped forward with a lunge, and steadily plunged the gun into Qiu Daochong's chest. Then, Xiahoudun clenched the barrel of the gun with both hands, and sent a blue lightning bolt along the barrel of the gun into Qiu Daochong's body.

Qiu Daochong's eyes glanced down, threw away the Chaos Crescent Shovel in his hand, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he knelt on the ground.

Xiahoudun put away his weapon, looked down at Qiu Daochong who was kneeling in front of him, and did not speak for a long time.

Cao Cao stepped forward, patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, and then stood in front of Qiu Daochong and said, "Qiu Daochong, the nine-headed worm, the name is so similar, it's a pity that I didn't detect this conspiracy earlier." ”

Qiu Daochong didn't lose his breath, he sneered, looked up at Cao Cao, and said, "Didn't you find out?" ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao was stunned, "What did you find?" ”

Qiu Daochong suddenly laughed proudly, "The demon barrier has long since disappeared, hasn't it?" ”

"Barriers?" Cao Cao was still puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”

Xun Yu on the side suddenly shouted, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Cao turned around and asked Xun Yudao.

Xun Yu glanced at Jia Xu, looked around, and said, "I didn't perceive the yang energy......

Xia Houdun only then reacted, grabbed Qiu Daochong's collar, and asked, "What the hell is going on!" What about yang? ”

Qiu Daochong sneered: "What do you think I'm talking so much nonsense to you for? ”

"......I see," Cao Cao pointed his sword at Qiu Daochong, "You took the opportunity to transfer the yang energy in the Yang Furnace, could it be that the place where chaos is finally completed is not here?" ”

Qiu Daochong clutched his chest and slowly stood up, "The spirit of chaos is everywhere and omnipotent!" ”

"What did you say?" Cao Cao put his sword on Qiu Daochong's neck and asked.

Qiu Dao Chong laughed wildly, and suddenly it burned, and the purple flames instantly burned him into a charred corpse and fell to the ground.

The crowd was puzzled.

Cao Cao put away his blade, his expression was unusually solemn, he turned back to Luo Yunxiu and asked, "According to your theory, the hydra should be a conscious soul, and it will not leave a corpse after death, but a crystallization of consciousness, right?" ”

"That's right." Luo Yunxiu stood up from the box and walked towards Cao Cao.

Cao Cao pointed to the charred corpse on the ground and said, "But after Qiu Daochong died, he left a corpse, it seems that he is not a nine-headed worm, it's a pity." ”

"And who is he?" Xun Yu couldn't help asking, "An ordinary person? How can there be such a large amount of mana? ”

Luo Yunxiu pursed his lips, opened the fan and fanned it twice, "Could it be the kind of corpse puppet you developed?" ”

"No," Xiahoudun said categorically, "the corpse puppet can only be attached to the consciousness, and cannot complete the ability to summon weapons and use the five elements. ”

"But there is no doubt that his body is a material body based on the element carbon, so he must have been intervened by some external energy source to have such combat power." As he spoke, Luo Yunxiu half-squatted next to Qiu Daochong's corpse and gently tapped it with a fan.

Everyone was puzzled, and they didn't say much, just watched quietly.

After a while, a spherical demon spirit stone flew out of Qiu Daochong's body and floated in mid-air. The Demon Spirit Stone was about the same size as the Demon Killer, but it was regular in shape, shiny, and very beautiful, like a bright purple crystal ball.

Luo Yunxiu got up, held the demon spirit stone in his hand, his face seemed to freeze for a while, his eyes were blurred, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Demons?" Cao Cao was shocked, and then looked at Luo Yunxiu's expression, and concluded that there must be a story in this, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why are you so sad?" ”

Luo Yunxiu wiped his tears, and the expression on his face recovered a little, "Honestly, this is my little aunt's magic spirit stone." ”

"What?" Cao Cao was shocked, "Your little aunt has also been here?" ”

"It seems that it is," Luo Yun Xiuqiang smiled, "30 years ago, my little aunt said that she went to a distant place for a mission, but she never came back after she went, it seems that she arrived at this place back then, she couldn't go home, and now she has an answer, everything makes sense." ”

"30 years ago," Xun Yu was suddenly startled, "Counting it up, our world happens to be the Three Kingdoms period, could it be that your little aunt still has some kind of connection with the origin of the fighting spirit?" ”

"Very likely," Luo Yunxiu nodded, "Now it seems that it was the Nine-Headed Worm or someone in his organization who killed my little aunt and used her Demon Spirit Stone as a source of Qiu Daochong's spiritual power." ”

Xun Yu asked, "What do you mean...... Qiu Daochong relied on the Demon Spirit Stone to control the casting of the Spirit Son. ”

"Exactly!" Luo Yunxiu replied.

"The body of the flesh, with the help of spirit stones, summon weapons, cast formations," Jia Xu suddenly stepped forward, "In this way, he is more like a fighting spirit......

"This is even more strange," Xun Yu frowned and took a deep breath, "Isn't Qiu Daochong the first batch of people responsible for the release of fighting souls, how can he have the power of fighting souls?" ”

"And the Wild Fighting Spirit, have you forgotten?" This is Guo Jia suddenly appearing in the crowd, "Maybe the nine-headed worm arranged this conspiracy earlier than we expected." ”

Xun Yu stood there, staring blankly at Guo Jia, and then at the patio, and suddenly felt that an important clue had been interrupted like this, but the conspiracy hidden behind it was still going on, and a sense of helplessness arose.

"Don't think about it, things will always have a clue." Guo Jia stepped forward and patted Xun Yu's shoulder, and then patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, "The important thing is that Team Leader Xiahou is back, isn't it?" ”

Xiahoudun clenched Guo Jia's hand, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Suddenly, the elevator door on the side opened, and it was Cao Ren who walked out of the elevator.

"Big brother!" Cao Ren rushed towards Cao Cao with an arrow, "A major discovery!" ”

Cao Cao turned around and asked, "What discovery?" ”

Cao Ren took a breath and glanced at Xiahoudun, "Sure enough, as Xiahou said, the raw materials that can transform the corpses of living beings are transported by the boxes that carry batik. ”

"That's easy," Guo Jia walked to the patio, turned around and leaned against the railing, looking at everyone, "There are not many places to produce batik, through investigation, find new clues." ”

Cao Cao nodded, "That's it, close the team!" I also have to make a report to the council and restore the identity of Xiahoudun. ”

"Master Yun Xiu and I will go," Jia Xu said to Luo Yun Xiu, "If you are in this world for a long time, you need a reasonable identity, and our boss can help you." ”

"Your boss?" Luo Yunxiu glanced down at the Demon Spirit Stone in his hand, thinking that he really needed a place to live here, so he nodded and left with Jia Xu first.

"Let's go!" Cao Ren stepped forward and hugged Xiahoudun, "Change your clothes, eat something good, just in time to go home for the New Year." ”

"Go home, ......" Xia Houdun heard the word "go home", thinking of his younger siblings, his lover Chen Xuan and his unborn child, and a smile finally appeared on his face, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"Hard?" Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, and shouted at Cao Cao: "Big brother, when did this Xiahou Dun get up." ”

"It seems that the demonic qi has not yet dissipated," Cao Cao said with a smile, "pour him more wine tonight to make him sober!" ”

Cao Cao said that, and everyone laughed.
