Chapter 540: The Great Battle for the Moon
As night fell, the New Territories City was unaware that a large army was galloping towards it, and the place of contention in the center of the city was brightly lit and crowded.
The handicap controlled by the horse bandits shouted loudly about the number of games and odds of tonight's game, and the excited gamblers held the silver in one hand and the gambling ticket in the other, and loudly bet on the martial arts handicap that they were optimistic about, and the scene was very lively.
"Hey, why is Brother Tai so lively here today?"
Xu Rui smiled and pulled a passing gambler to ask.
The gambler looked at him as if he was looking at a primitive man: "Don't you know that tonight is the battle for the moon?" ”
Xu Rui smiled: "Isn't it just a competition, there are it every day, what's so strange about this?" ”
"You know what?"
The gambler glanced at him contemptuously and said, "The competition is every day, but the monthly battle, that is, the final, is only once a month, and the winner will become the champion and have the opportunity to obtain superior martial arts."
So, the masters who are qualified to be shortlisted will show their real skills for those cheats, and they will never die, and they don't know how many times better than the usual battles, and even the city lord will watch the battle in person! ”
"Oh. I see, thank you brother! ”
Xu Rui suddenly bowed his hand to the gambler.
The gambler waved his hand, didn't bother to return the courtesy, plunged into the crowd, and placed bets on the handicap.
Xu Rui turned around, Princess Qixia and the shadow maid were standing not far behind him wearing hats, and when they saw Xu Rui coming back, they greeted him.
"How's it going?"
Princess Qixia asked.
"I've confirmed with many people that tonight is the final of the monthly battle, and the Ghost-faced Demon God will come, so I just took this opportunity to approach him."
Xu Rui nodded.
A trace of worry flashed on Princess Qixia's face, and she said uneasily: "I heard that the ghost-faced demon god is incomparably strong, you have to be careful, don't be strong." ”
Xu Rui smiled: "Don't worry, I'm terrible to death, if I can't do anything, I will never be strong." ”
"Other opponents will not be weak, and they should not be taken lightly."
Princess Qixia was still not at ease, so she told her again.
Xu Rui scratched her nose affectionately: "Don't worry, no matter how I say it, I was also trained by that group of first-class masters in the army, Xiao Jinwu, the descendant of the martial saint, is also half my master, and it is not difficult to deal with these local chickens and dogs." ”
Princess Qixia's cheeks turned red, and she glanced at Xu Rui and said, "Seeing that your ass is about to rise to the sky, I'm afraid that you have forgotten that the arrogant soldiers you often talk about will be defeated, right?" ”
Xu Rui shook his head: "I know myself and my opponent, and I will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" If you're really not at ease, wait for me with the Shadow Maiden in the teahouse next to the Great Dispute, which is a stronghold of Jinyiwei, relatively safe, and to be honest, this place is mixed, and I don't worry if you are too far away. ”
In the underground passage of the Great Dispute, four or five horse bandits were trying to drag out a box made of solid wood, more than a man tall, with iron chains the thickness of their wrists tied to it, like a huge coffin.
Finally dragged the box to the entrance of the passage, the horse bandits were already exhausted and panting, sitting on the ground panting.
"You can go."
At this moment, a black-robed man walked out of the underground passage and said lightly.
His voice was very eerie, like a hoarse and low crow, and although the bandits were tired and sweating, they still had goosebumps all their lives when they heard his voice.
"Boss Wu, let's go!"
Several horse bandits hurriedly stood up, hugged their fists at the black-robed man, and then ran away as if they were dodging a poisonous snake.
Until they got out of the underground passage, just a few steps, a few horse bandits seemed to have just escaped from the ice cave, and they kept shivering.
Boss Wu sneered and watched a few people flee, slowly put down his hood, and revealed a very handsome face.
He looked no more than thirty years old, his facial features were very exquisite, comparable to the first-class beautiful men in Changxing City, his skin was tender and white but there was no blood, which was in stark contrast to the thick dark circles under his eyes, indescribably evil and gloomy.
There was a crisp sound.
Boss Wu gently peeled off the iron chain on the wooden box, his eyes showed a touch of tenderness, stretched out his hands to gently uncover the cover of the wooden box, and the look on his face began to be excited.
"Come out, beauty......"
He muttered to himself, bent down, and picked up a man from the wooden box.
The man, like him, was wrapped in a black robe, his limbs drooping limply, as if he were a lifeless corpse.
He gently placed the person in his hand on the ground, pulled open the sleeve of his left hand, and cut his wrist with the sharp nail of his right thumb, and dark red blood suddenly flowed out.
Immediately after, Boss Wu gently pinched the man's mouth open, as if breastfeeding, and fed his own blood into his mouth.
"Wake up, my beauty, don't sleep, don't sleep......"
The old man of Wu babbled and read, blood gushed out, and his already pale face turned a little paler, but his eyes became wider and wider, and his expression became more and more excited, and he was even a little crazy.
I don't know how much blood was shed, but Boss Wu finally withdrew his left hand, wrapped it in gauze, and then took out many silver needles and stuck them one by one on the man's head.
If there is a doctor here, he will be surprised, because the black boss is extremely ruthless, almost every needle is pierced in the death hole, if a big living person is made by him like this, even if he does not die, he will be paralyzed in bed.
However, after half a pillar of incense, when the last needle in Boss Wu's hand was inserted into the man's Tianling acupoint, the guy who was still lying on the ground and was completely angry suddenly opened his eyes and sat up with a "poof".
"Beauty is awake, my beauty is awake!"
Boss Wu looked at the man with great excitement, the muscles on his face twitched constantly, and his eyes were full of burning madness.
"Old ghost, you've finally succeeded."
At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from behind Boss Wu, and the ghost statue walked out from the depths of the underground passage.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey......"
Boss Wu didn't look back, just kept sneering, the laughter was like a night owl, and his shoulders and head kept shaking with the laughter, like a zombie.
The ghost statue seemed to have long been accustomed to the madness of Boss Wu, and circled around the man, and said in surprise: "Is this really the monster we found?" ”
Boss Wu sneered: "Exactly, this is a living dead man, who has lost three souls and seven spirits, and only a body remains, after seven days of medicine refining by the old man, plus my poisonous blood, it is now my marionette!" ”
The ghost statue nodded: "That's good, this monster is very powerful, you have to be careful, he is our killer weapon tonight." ”
Boss Wu lowered his head, squinted his eyes at the ghost statue like a ghost, and sneered: "Don't worry, now he is my other body, and he will definitely be able to kill this place tonight!" ”
The ghost statue nodded: "This is the best, success or failure is in this move, if you win, I will give you the thing you want, if you lose, then let's die together." ”
With that, he strode towards the exit of the passage.
When he went out, the ghost statue couldn't help but glance back at the man again, frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "The old ghost is really getting more and more perverted, the man on the ground is obviously a man, but he has to be called a beauty, and he has goosebumps all over his body......
At the entrance of another passage, Xu Rui sat quietly with his face covered, and the one-eyed Yaksha accompanied by a smiling face behind him to explain his thoughts and matters in detail for a while.
Suddenly, a gong sounded in all directions, Xu Rui raised his head slightly, and looked towards the box on the top floor of the opposite audience.
