Chapter XII
Sitting proudly on the back of the horse, the devil stared at the moving team in front of him, the armor of the soldiers slammed into each other with a crisp sound, and the cold light flashed on the weapons raised above their heads, like a band of light hovering in front of them.
The 300,000-strong army is finally back in my hands. How many years? Five hundred or eight hundred years? I can't remember. The feeling of not being able to hear with your ears, unable to see with your eyes, and unable to speak with your mouth is really worse than death, and the pain of being bound by ninety-nine giant ropes on your body still makes the devil's heart tremble.
Now he was finally able to see the light of day again, and once again received the command of the 300,000-strong army.
But how all this came about, the devil knows very well in his heart. If it weren't for that man's extra kindness, he would have been locked up again.
If you want to fight, you will fight bloodily on the battlefield, even if you use all despicable means and vicious tricks, as long as you win!
This is the idea of war of the devil, and it is also the essence of aesthetics that he pursued all his life.
Today, he finally has the opportunity to show his ambitions.
The devil looked at the peach tree immortal beside him with great ambition, trying to find out the horror and admiration in his eyes for such a huge army. But he saw that the peach tree fairy closed his eyes tightly and sat on the paper kite that was constantly flapping its wings, as if he was adjusting his breath.
A three-pointed and two-edged knife appeared from the devil's hand, and the tip of the knife flashed with cold light, pointing at the throat of the peach wood fairy.
The little immortal who was pranayama was frightened by the sudden change and broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly opened his eyes, carefully pinched the sharp and thin edge of the blade with his fingers, and gently moved it to the side.
"General...... What does that mean? Xiaoxian didn't understand. ”
There was no emotional fluctuation in the mask of the devil, and he said calmly: "I warn you, don't think that if you cooperate with us now, I will treat you as a partner. In my devil's opinion, Lingxiao Hall and our Jiuli Heavenly Palace will never share the sky, if you want to make that strange move just now, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
Momoki Immortal realized that he suspected that he was secretly doing something with his eyes closed just now. Sure enough, as the rumors say, he is a suspicious person by nature. Momoki Immortal smiled with relief.
"General, you have too much heart. Just now, I was just converging with my apprentice's spiritual power with the technique of spiritual communication, and he is now near Xincheng County, but unfortunately his spiritual power is weak, and it seems that he can't communicate with him. ”
The devil snorted from his nostrils, and with a flip of his palm, the three-pointed two-edged knife disappeared into the void. He said proudly: "Forgive me, don't dare to lie to me." However, even if you dare to play any tricks, I will not take him seriously. ”
Momoki Fairy also smiled, and twisted her head to the side as if nothing happened. Where the devil's gaze could not be seen, he frowned, and his heart was full of all kinds of speculation.
"Stinky boy! You just escaped from the wolf's mouth, why did you run away to the tiger's den again! If the gossip really overturns, you and me, as well as everything in this world, will return to nothingness! ”
After a while, the crowd rested.
Xiangnu pointed to the sky and said, "You see, the miasma seems to be about to subside!" ”
The people followed the words and looked into the boundless firmament. Sure enough, the miasma that was dense above the head and suppressed everyone, as if it had been suddenly sucked away, continued to tighten and gather in the same place, and the place where it dispersed revealed a clear and pure night like a black jewel.
"It's still good air like this, it doesn't smell like that, it smells so pleasant!"
Xiangnu exaggeratedly put his hands behind his back, tilted his head and closed his eyes, and fluttered his nose.
Ying Long was also excited at first. Suddenly, he frowned and said to Zhang Xun beside him.
"Brother Xian, take a look there with your yin and yang eyes!"
Zhang Xundao: "Where is the eldest brother referring to? ”
Ying Long pointed with his hand: "Oh, that's it, where the miasma swirls and gathers." Brother Wei felt as if there was something there, but his vision was limited and he couldn't see clearly. ”
Zhang Xun concentrated his spiritual power to summon the Yin and Yang Eyes, and carefully stared at the night sky for a while.
"There are dense clouds and mist, and the miasma is converging towards the eye of the cloud in the middle, but I don't see anything."
"Is it for my brother's eyes? Just now, I obviously seemed to see something strange in a flash. ”
"Wait!"
"Did you see something?"
"There was something coming out of the clouds, it looked like a monster, like a tiger but not all like a tiger, and there was a man sitting on it."
"Alone?"
"Yes! Alone," Zhang Xun replied affirmatively. "It's an old man!"
"Old man?" Ying Long narrowed his suspicious eyes and stared at the place where he couldn't see clearly.
It was the mysterious old man who appeared in the mist.
The old man drove the Yunsheng Beast to stop, and unfurled the cloth bag in his hand, and the miasma in the air began to gather and converge into the bag.
After collecting the miasma, the old man tied the mouth of the bag, tied it around his waist, looked around, and was suspicious.
"Strange! Why is it so quiet? Isn't there a government monarch on duty in the new city? Why can't you sense his spiritual power everywhere? ”
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a crisp sound like a crack not far from the southwest.
This was followed by several more sounds. The old man hurriedly looked to the southwest, only to see a flash of red light in the dark night sky, followed by green, blue, and yellow, and the whole sky continued to swim like a colorful ribbon of light. Immediately afterward, a puff of flocculent black smoke suddenly surged, staining the originally brilliant picture into ink.
The old man was so excited that he couldn't help but tremble. He stretched his wizened fingers out of his cloak and pointed in the direction of the spectacle.
"Quick! Cloud Beast! Go there! The door to the underworld has been opened! ”
The spirit beast seemed to sense the excitement of its master, raised its head and howled to the sky, and the six healthy hooves kicked in the clouds for a while, and after bowing down, the power of the hooves bounced forward, and the wings under the flank kept fanning, driving the surrounding clouds around it, and rushed forward quickly.
Getting closer and closer to the goal, the old man's heart couldn't help but be turbulent and full of emotion.
After carefully planning for such a long time, this is the day that I have been waiting for. An opportunity that can only be encountered by a Jiazi, and the ghost sent a god to appear in front of him like this.
It was Heaven who brought the monarch back to the world to save this dirty world that had been polluted.
Assisting the king in accomplishing this great cause is the heavy responsibility entrusted to me by God.
Even if it takes me a lifetime of energy...... Also, this old life......
The old man tugged at the clothes on his chest, his heart beating slightly under the cover of the clothes, and there were a few chaotic rhythms in his dull voice. The old man perked himself up, closed his cloak vigorously, and turned his energies to the matter at hand.
At this time, the cloud beast had already flown above the forest that made a strange noise. From the air, a circular clearing had been carved out of the woods, and broken trees were scattered around.
The cloud beast magically stopped its wings and bent down. The old man got down from the spirit beast and stepped on the soft clouds beside the cloud beast. He patted the beast's head, and the spirit beast seemed to know his mind, and gently bowed its head, and its body slowly moved backwards, retreating into the cover of the clouds.
The old man unfurled his cloak, and his body fluttered like a bird at night, and slowly flew down to the clearing of the forest.
He took a round glass rib from his cloak and fastened it to his right eye. From the reflection of the brilliance of the glass edges, he saw that in the center of the circular clearing, a crack more than two feet long had opened, and flocculent black smoke continued to emerge from the crack as if steam was rising.
"It's finally here. It seems that I am not old enough to calculate so accurately. ”
He flipped his palm, and a faint yellow light appeared in his palm, which looked like a snuffbox, with pointed ends and bulging in the middle, and some strange runes drawn on it. The old man whispered a few incantations in his mouth, and the strange object suddenly swelled and became several times larger, and the old man put it on the arm of his right hand, and the sharp mouth of the pot stretched forward like an elephant's trunk.
"Spirit suction pot, spirit suction pot, don't let me down."
As if talking to his own child, he gently patted the suction pot on his right hand. Aiming the spout in the direction of the crack, the pot suddenly and violently shook as if it had been given life, and the mouth kept wriggling, and the flocculent black smoke was pulled out of the crack and inhaled in a whirl.
Then, the runes on the body of the pot slowly lit up. The old man's eyes flashed with excitement.
The mysterious old man never expected that he would be targeted this time.
Since he appeared from the clouds, he was caught by Zhang Xun's yin and yang eyes. Ying Long and Zhang Xun instinctively felt that this old man with strange Taoist skills must have something to do with the strange things that happened in Xincheng County.
What made Zhang Xun even more mindful was that the old man's black cloak with a yellow moire pattern was very similar to the man he met in the labyrinth of the nine sons, who claimed to be a tarsus.
The goal of the tarsal bone is to destroy the bloodline of the Imperial Dragon, and there must be some conspiracy in this.
Maybe you can get some clues from this old man.
Zhang Xun brought his thoughts to Ying Long and Pan, and the sturdy man replied with a positive look, nodded, and then turned around and said to Su Ye.
"Night girl, you two wait here for a while, and my brother and I will go over there to investigate."
"I'm going too!" Xiangnu immediately jumped out with an unhappy expression.
Ying Long touched the top of Xiangnu's head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Brother Xian and I are just going to investigate, and nothing will happen." Besides, we have just experienced a vicious fight, and we still need time to recuperate. If there is anything important, I must ask Miss Xiangnu for help. ”
Xiangnu was overjoyed when he heard this, raised his head and said, "Since the eldest brother has said so, I will take care of it with Sister Shuye." When the time comes, there is nothing that can't be done, just say, as long as I am out of the horse, there is nothing that cannot be done. ”
Ying Long and Zhang Xun laughed and left quickly. Looking at the self-confident and dark Xiangnu, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and couldn't help but "poof".
Xiangnu looked strange: "Sister Shuye, what are you laughing at?" Is there something strange on my face? ”
Su Ye hurriedly held back a laugh, patted the shoulder of the lively girl next to him and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"Big brother, you really have a way, you actually held down the incense slave with just two words."
Ying Long responded to Zhang Xun with a smile: "She has such a strong temper, you have to coax, you can't keep raising the bar with her." If you say one word, she will reply ten sentences, and of course the two of you can't get along. But then again, the Xiangnu girl and the night girl are really completely different types. ”
Zhang Xundao: "Different types? Big brother, what does this mean? ”
Ying Long said with a smile: "The night girl shows her wisdom on the outside, soft on the outside, and strong on the inside, and she is smart and gentle; The girl is lively and smart, although she is still wild, but she is also innocent and romantic. Brother Xian, it's not for the sake of brotherhood, these two girls are sincere to you, don't you feel it? ”
Zhang Xun was a little embarrassed by this direct question: "Big brother...... The younger brother's background is unknown, and he bears the heavy responsibility assigned by the master, which is really ......"
Ying Long said lightly: "Brother Wei knows that these words are a bit abrupt. But Brother Xian, Brother Wei has some experience of these things. It reminds you to cherish what is in front of you, if you miss it now, it will never be undone. Looking back, isn't the so-called fame and fortune all the mirrors and fleeting? ”
The more he spoke, the deeper his voice became, until at last he could only hear him.
“…… In fact, what kind of children are long-term and heroes are short-breathed, this is all bullshit. If a hero can't make the people around him happy, how can he help the world save the people and act chivalrous? ……”
Zhang Xun didn't hear his whispers, but chewed on what Ying Long had just said in his heart.
Before he could think clearly, Ying Long's hand suddenly stopped in front of him, made a silent gesture to him, and then gently brushed away a bush in front of him, revealing the glade that emitted flocculent black gas.
The two of them leaned down and crept closer, about two feet away from the old man standing in the glade. They saw the old man bend over and aim a strange device in his hand at the ground, the tip of the device squirming as if absorbing something, and the body of the pot swelling continuously.
Zhang Xun summoned the yin and yang eyes and carefully looked at the old man who was concentrating on his work.
He found that there was a lot of flocculent black gas evaporating from the crack in the ground, which was continuously sucked in by the pot in the old man's hand.
"He seems to be absorbing some black smoke from a crack in the ground, I don't know what it is." Zhang Xun told Ying Long in a low voice.
Ying Long said: "The crack on the ground? I didn't see it. Could it be that only the yin and yang eyes of the virtuous brother can see it? No matter what this old man was doing, I always felt that he was mysterious and secretive, and he didn't look like a good person. ”
Zhang Xun nodded and said, "I'll take a closer look." ”
As he spoke, he once again carefully looked at the busy old man.
As he observed, the old man's cloak was blown up by the wind, covering the spirit suction pot he was holding.
He simply ripped off his cloak and threw it back.
This flick exposed his waist to Zhang Xun's eyes.
He found the old man with a dark yellow bag tied around his waist.
The sac is embroidered with a green bug with teeth and claws.
Zhang Xun stared at this unusual evil insect, and a silhouette-like picture appeared in his mind-
In the dim moonlight, a teenager in coarse cloth clothes was confronting a behemoth.
It may not be appropriate to say that it is a confrontation, because the young man has already been frightened by the scene in front of him:
A huge insect lay in the bushes in front of him, about twenty meters long, with a fluorescent-green body densely covered with gray and dark red markings, a pointed cone-like tail that stood up high, covered with black bristles, and a large sucker-like mouth dripping disgusting green slime. It has half a corpse in its mouth, hundreds of sharp knife-like teeth curled upside down, and it is slowly sucking the corpse into its mouth!
And now, the giant insect's evil yellow-green eyes are staring at its prey, just as a giant python is staring at a mouse.
The young man Zhang Xun only felt a numbness in the back of his neck, and the cold hairs on his whole body stood up. The fear was so intense that he couldn't resist the urge to flee. He was just about to step away from his leg, which had been numb from fear, when the burning pain in his left arm struck again.
"Wow!" He let out a scream and fell to his knees weakly. The pain in his left arm, which was mixed with burning and tearing, intensified, and he almost lost consciousness for a moment. As the blood vessels expanded violently, the left hand once again metamorphosed into a huge mutated arm, and the sharp pain disappeared, and a force that came from nowhere ran through his entire body.
The giant worm raised its head and roared. The deafening sound was accompanied by the droplets falling from the sky, smashing on the soft ground, and immediately reacted strangely with the ground, and the foul-smelling foam corroded the ground into deep pits, and the grass was immediately smoked and yellowed.
Then, the giant insect stopped roaring, and a blue light suddenly burst out of its huge crack-like mouth, and flew towards the young man who was still stunned.
The cyan light is extremely fast, and on both sides are poisonous swamps that have just been eroded by the foam of giant insects. The boy has no way to escape, and he is on the verge of despair.
At the moment of stake, a figure suddenly burst out from the side, deftly jumped over the poisonous swamp, and threw him to the ground. At the same time, the blue light shot straight above their heads, and with a roar, a small mountain was sliced into two pieces, and the huge wind pressure roared in, pushing the two of them out fiercely.
After a blow from the blue light, it slowly returned to the giant insect and retracted into its mouth with a thud. It turned out to be the long tongue of a giant worm!
The young man got up from the ground in embarrassment, but heard a familiar voice behind him and said angrily: "It's all to blame, little brother, that you walked so fast, and I followed it for a long time to find it!" ”
The person who saved him was actually a Xiangnu!
The giant insect quickly approached the two, and seeing that the situation was critical, the white light around the young man flashed, as if the bright moon had been holy, making the giant insect that was about to attack also cower and stop moving. After the white light, a chubby child with a string of rock sugar gourds munching appeared on his shoulder and said with a smile: "You two little guys want to die, isn't it too early?" ”
The child smiled sweetly at the two of them, put the sugar gourd in his mouth and sucked it loudly. He crossed Erlang's legs, looking like a graceful swimmer.
Suddenly, he stopped eating candy and slapped Zhang Xundao hard.
"Be careful! Here it comes! ”
As soon as the words fell, a giant tongue shining with a dark blue light stabbed from the front again!
The young man panicked for a while, not knowing whether to fight or hide, but stayed where he was. The child on his shoulder suddenly grabbed him hard and shouted loudly.
"Get down! Rush forward! ”
His mind went blank, and his actions were completely dictated by the child's words. With a hard kick of his feet, his whole body rushed forward like a tense bowstring. With the remaining strength to roll, the whole person flipped under the body of the Ten Thousand Gu Worms.
Golden opportunity!
With the sound of the ghost crying wolf's howling wind, the hungry mutant left hand struck towards the soft stomach of the ten thousand Gu worms! Without the obstruction of the poisonous mist, the mutated left arm drove straight in, like thunder across the sky, and stabbed fiercely into the soft abdomen of the strange chong. The aftermath continued unabated, and the ground was shaken by the waves of air that swept up, and the ground where the boy was standing cracked one by one due to the strong reaction force.
"That's a lot of strength!"
The child shook the gravel that had fallen in the seam of his clothes and praised softly, but then the conversation changed.
"However, although it is fierce, it can't kill this ten thousand Gu worms! There is a saying in human beings that it takes seven inches to hit a snake. If you don't find its weak point, you won't be able to beat it to death! ”
"How do I know where this monster's weakness is? Do you want to try it one by one? ”
"It's not wrong to say you're stupid." The child said angrily. "Don't you see with your eyes!"
"Eyes!" The child's seemingly inadvertent words suddenly made the young man Zhang Xun have an idea, he closed his eyes hard, and then opened them suddenly!
A faint blue glow suddenly flashed in the middle of the pupil of the right eye, and then slowly expanded in a spiral shape from the inside to the outside, gradually occupying the entire eye socket. At the same time, the blood vessels around the eye sockets suddenly expanded several times, like spider webs, tangled in the corners of the eyes, and the tiny red shimmer in the middle of the blue eyes stared directly at the ten thousand Gu insects in front of them.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and his gaze stopped on the back of the Ten Thousand Gu Worms. The back of the strange insect is densely covered with reddish-brown markings, and at the intersection of several lines, there is a faint mass of wriggling flesh, as if there is something foreign hidden inside!
I don't know if it reacted to the eyes, the entire body of the Ten Thousand Gu Worms coiled up layer by layer, and the giant mouth was raised high to the sky, splashing out a large number of poisonous droplets like a fountain!
Zhang Xun nervously dodged left and right, looking very embarrassed, but the child was unhurried, crossed Erlang's legs, took out a roll of paper from his underwear and spread it out, and outlined a flame with a red pen on it, while talking.
"I guess you already know where this poisonous insect's weakness is, but it will be difficult to break through its protective venom if you rely on your strange hands to attack directly. To win, you have to attach the power of the charm. Look, this is the Fire Charm! ”
I saw him shake the charm lightly, poke his finger at the charm pattern, and the fire shot out of thin air from the center of the charm, and the boy almost tripped on a stone.
Although Zhang Xun was new to talismans, he was gifted and intelligent, and in a matter of moments, he had a rough grasp of the changes in talismans and the magic seals. He drew the gourd in the same way, and when he finished reciting the mantra, the charm flew to his left arm as if he had broken free!
The boy shouted in surprise, and the runes glowed with gold, and flames slowly emerged and burned from the runes like flowers blooming.
As soon as it was too late, his left hand became a sharp weapon: the palm and fingertips became the tip of a sword mixed with bone and steel, and the protruding bones on his arm became a dense mountain of swords, and the flames swirled around the entire arm, making the ragged boy look as majestic as a god.
The young man Zhang Xun, who had been holding on for a long time, couldn't wait to launch an attack on the ten thousand Gu worms, but he just waved his left arm lightly, and the flames inspired by the spell were like a spiritual snake coming out of a hole, evaporating the oncoming poisonous mist and turning it into light smoke and drifting away. He tried his best, as if he was leaping in the air in the mountains of Baiyue, his body bounced high, and he shook the giant sword that his left arm had turned into in mid-air, and slashed at the ten thousand Gu insects below.
The weakness that was wrapped in the heavy flesh pad a moment ago exploded from the inside out under this split. With a loud bang, the impact of the explosion blasted the giant insect in half, and the foul-smelling body fluids spewed out from the severed front, splashing Zhang Xun and the little immortal on his shoulder.
"Look what good you've done!" The child cautiously sniffed the clothes stained with bodily fluids, wrinkled his nose and said angrily. "My clothes are all messed up! It's all your fault! ”
This was the scene of his first acquaintance with Momoki Immortal, who taught him the method of charms, and unleashed the potential of Yin Yang Eyes and Ghost Hands, and also helped him defeat the evil poisonous insect that killed countless innocent beings.
And the embroidery he saw on the old man's waist bag just now was the same as ten thousand Gu worms!
Zhang Xun's enthusiasm rushed straight to his head, and he could hardly restrain the impulse and anger in his heart. The charred houses, the miserable corpses everywhere, the tragic scene like purgatory on earth, hit his heart again!
He didn't care about hiding his whereabouts, and with a shrug of his body, he rushed out of the bushes like an arrow.
His speed was too fast, and it happened suddenly, and Ying Long didn't even have time to reach out to stop him.
Also surprised was the old man who was aiming the suction pot at the crack in the ground.
He didn't expect that there were still two people staring at his every move, and suddenly jumping out, even if he was well-informed, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Especially the young man who rushed out first, his eyes seemed to erupt flames and burn himself to ashes. There was a clear anger in his eyes. The person who came out in the back was slightly older, and his expression was calmer than that of the person in front, but he was also very vigilant.
The old man did not remember that he had ever had a grudge against such a person.
He shouted, "Who is coming! ”
Zhang Xun hooked his head, stared at the old man's thin figure with his eyes, and replied unansweringly: "That worm, is it yours?" ”
The old man was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't understand what Zhang Xun was referring to.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhang Xun immediately asked loudly: "Say it quickly!" What does that strange thing called the Ten Thousand Gu Worm have to do with you?! ”
"Do you know the name of the Ten Thousand Gu Worms?" The old man's hand subconsciously felt out the bag hanging from his waist, which was embroidered with green insect-like lines. "How do you know the name of my holy worm?"
"I guessed correctly, this worm is yours!" Zhang Xun's voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth word by word.
"Could it be...... My holy worm is your ......," the old man suddenly realized.
"Return the lives of dozens of people in the village!" Zhang Xun roared, without any pause, and directly attacked the old man.
Ying Long shouted that he couldn't shout, so he had to pull out the silver spear from his waist and pounce on it.
The two were entangled with the old man. The old man threw himself left and right, although he was already in the twilight of his age, his body was extremely agile, and he actually took all the tricks that the two of them attacked with all their might.
Facing the aggressive youth, the old man wondered what they were doing at this moment.
As soon as he was distracted, Ying Long's silver spear and Zhang Xun's peachwood sword had already risen and attacked in front of him.
Oops! The old man didn't have time to shout. The silver spear and the mahogany sword both pierced into his body.
The strange thing is that although it has been stabbed, there is no feeling of the weapon piercing the flesh and bones, and there is not a trace of blood flowing out.
Don't? Zhang Xun and Ying Long had a hint of foreboding in their hearts at the same time.
"Quick! Discard the weapon! Ying Long hurriedly shouted loudly, his hands came out of the silver spear, and he quickly stepped back.
At the same time, Zhang Xun also abandoned his sword and quickly retreated to the side of the dragon.
"Why do I feel a shiver in my heart when I stabbed him?"
"Me ...... too"
Before the two of them could finish speaking, they saw the old man who was covered in darkness suddenly turn into a few small black dots, and quickly crawled along the silver spear and the peachwood sword, and quickly covered the two weapons.
Ying Long said in a deep voice: "It's a bug!" ”
The little black dots were indeed small worms with huge hooked claws, as if they had split from the old man's body, and hovered in the air with a sound of condolence.
A cool breeze blew through the air, and the flying insects quickly gathered and merged into the black cloak.
"Although I really want to play with you, the old man has important things to do now, and he has no time to entangle. You're going to get involved with my soldiers, right!? ”
The bug reconstituted the old man's body, and a low, old voice came from the black cloak.
As he spoke, he pulled out an object from the package around his waist and threw it at the ground, shouting a command.
"Ten thousand treasures of brilliance, divine soldiers! Obsidian Divine Soldiers, hurry up! ”
"Not good!" Tao Muxian pinched his fingers and calculated, opened his eyes and said.
"What's going on?" The devil asked, holding the reins of the horse.
"The hour has reached the time for the opening of the underworld. I just calculated, according to the current signs, the door of the underworld has been fully opened, and the hexagram has begun to tilt. ”
Demon Zhe said in a deep voice: "What should we do next?" ”
"General, please give orders to the whole army and speed up the march! We have very little time, and if the gossip is overturned, it will be too late to do anything! ”
"Shut up! How the army marches, is it up to you to do what you say? ”
The devil broke off, and the peach wood fairy was also startled, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
After weighing it for a moment, he took out a horn from his armor and lifted it into the air. The marching army came to a sudden halt, but the flags and weapons raised were unmoved and raised high.
The loud voice of the devil echoed in the firmament.
"The army obeys! The goal remains the same, the speed of the march is ten times faster, and it is necessary to reach the new city within half an hour. Violators, laggards, cut! ”
His unequivocal voice fell, and the army immediately began to march rapidly.
The object thrown by the old man from the air fell to the ground, stirring up a huge cloud of smoke and dust, blowing towards Ying Long and Zhang Xun.
"Be careful! Maybe there's something weird in the smoke! ”
The two of them could, but the smoke and dust quickly receded from their sides, and the two were unharmed.
It's just that there is suddenly a large number of soldiers shining black and hard as stone ridges in front of them!
The lines of these soldiers seem to be carved by exquisite craftsmanship, the height is about more than a zhang, and the degree of exquisiteness of the costume can clearly see the difference between soldiers and generals.
Their faces were expressionless, armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various strange weapons, and their bodies stood motionless on the ground.
"If you want to fight the old man, let's beat my obsidian god first!"
The old man fell from the sky as he spoke, and the spirit suction pot in his hand was aimed at the crack in the ground again, and he inhaled black smoke.
"No matter what weirdness he does, it's not a good thing! Stop him! Zhang Xun said to the dragon, swung his peachwood sword, and rushed forward.
But before they could reach the old man's side, several obsidian divine soldiers flashed over from the side to stop them. The huge, mirror-smooth body was facing Zhang Xun's face, and several pairs of hollow eyes were looking down at him.
"Get out of here! I don't have time to dwell on you minions! ”
Zhang Xun shook the peachwood sword in his hand, took out a few charms in his right hand, and threw them at the obsidian divine soldier with force.
But under this blow, only a few sparks burst out from the huge divine soldier. The soldier didn't move.
"The old man's obsidian divine soldiers are not so easy to deal with, and you can't take down the soldiers, let alone the leaders of the heavenly general-level level."
The old man who worked seriously with the spirit suction pot did not forget to make a few teases.
It seems that the purpose of the Obsidian Divine Soldier is only to protect the old man from carrying out his mission and not letting everyone move forward half a step.
"Brother Xian, these weird things are much more difficult to deal with than we thought." Ying Long said in a low voice.
"Big brother, do you have any ideas?"
"We don't know anything about the stone soldiers, or the old man. Such a contest without knowing the details of the enemy is very disadvantageous to us. It's better to retreat as soon as possible and save your strength! ”
"Shall we just let him go?" Zhang Xun said unwillingly.
Ying Long persuaded: "Virtuous brother." This old man looks much more powerful than the clay puppet, and we can't handle these soldiers anymore. I don't know what kind of grudge this old man has against you, but if you die today, what will you take revenge? ”
Zhang Xun thought about it silently, it would be too much to escape like this, and he must try his last strength and come up with the strongest strength.
He made a decision, folded his hands in front of his chest, and the spiritual energy in his body quickly gathered on his right hand.
Ying Long exclaimed: "Virtuous brother! Your body has just recovered, don't brace it! ”
The old man also raised his body in surprise and praised: "You actually have the ability to control spiritual power at will, not bad!" ”
After all the spiritual power was gathered, Zhang Xun endured the severe pain when he changed, and summoned the ghost hand to his right arm. The knotted black-gray muscles bulged high, the tips of the fingers stretched out, and the tips of the fingers emerged with black hard nails.
Seeing this, the old man exclaimed, "Just a human being, there is actually a ghost arm!" ”
Zhang Xun didn't answer, his arm swung forward, and a gust of wind rolled up, and this huge force rushed straight towards the obsidian divine soldiers who were blocking in front of him.
The old man hurriedly stopped the movement of the spiritual suction pot in his right hand and quickly sealed.
A blue light flashed, and the divine soldier who was waved by Zhang Xun only flew more than ten meters!
"I didn't expect that I couldn't defeat these things with all my strength!" Zhang Xun, who was recovering, felt tired under this full blow, and gasped.
"Interesting! If I hadn't formed the Yellow Sky Hundred Dragon Seal in time, maybe these three soldiers would really not be able to stop your ghost hand. The old man hurriedly straightened up. He stared at Zhang Xun's right hand, and a look of interest flashed in his eyes. "It's really interesting that a human can grow ghost arms on his body, and he can also use spiritual power to drive him to change his form, which is something that the old man has never seen before."
Ying Long hurriedly rushed to Zhang Xun's side and helped him up, saying, "Brother Xian, we are not his opponents!" Fast! Get out of here! ”
"How can this be reasonable, you think that you are invincible and want to leave, and you will inevitably take the old man too seriously." The old man snapped. "See the ability of the old man Obsidian Divine Soldier Heavenly General, so that you can lose clearly."
Under his order, the stone soldiers in the obsidian divine soldiers dressed in gorgeous general equipment stepped forward from the queue, and the weapons in their hands were pointed vertically at Ying Long and Zhang Xun in front of them.
Ying Long held the silver spear tightly, Zhang Xun barely supported his body, and the two of them were waiting for each other.
The confrontation continued subtly until a leaf fell between the two camps.
The first to attack was the Obsidian Divine Soldier.
Zhang Xun is not comfortable here. Three stone soldiers trapped him, one with a soft whip to seal off his long-range escape route, while two stone soldiers with spears and gourd hammers squeezed him in the middle, slashing sideways with knives and hammers with a hammer. Zhang Xun was tired of coping and looked very embarrassed.
In addition, there were four stone soldiers with Xuanhua axes, nine-section whips, flying claws and double rings standing outside the formation, living in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, occupying several passages that must be passed through to escape. Zhang Xun and Ying Long no longer seem to have any possibility of escaping.
In a blink of an eye, these bulky stone soldiers showed such an ingenious arrangement, but their own abilities should not be underestimated.
After dozens of rounds, the two finally couldn't hold it anymore, and the silver spear and peach wood sword in their hands were both shocked away. The six stone corps besieging them pounced.
"Don't kill them! Keep your mouth alive! ”
Under the old man's order, the obsidian divine soldier immediately put away his weapon, and his fist struck out, subduing the two people at the end of the crossbow. The old man looked at the two people who were constantly struggling under the control of the giant palm of the stone soldier, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright, let's take off the young man's right arm."
The stone soldier holding the big ring knife roared to Zhang Xun's side, and the stone soldier who restrained him pulled his right hand up. Zhang Xun struggled desperately, but it didn't help, the strength of this stone soldier was too strong, and now he had exhausted his strength, and he didn't have any capital to fight.
The big ring knife fell with the whirring sound of the wind, and Zhang Xun closed his eyes.
"Bang-" sound.
The pain of muscle tearing after waiting for a long time did not come, and I did not hear the creaking sound of the blade entering the bone, could it be because this right arm was originally a ghost arm, so it did not produce the same pain as ordinary people?
It's okay to throw away things that don't belong to you.
I'm afraid that even my life is about to lose my own.
Then take one last look. Zhang Xun thought pessimistically in his heart and opened his eyes.
The right hand is still standing on the body, and there is no bruise at all!
What's going on?
Zhang Xun raised his eyes and found that the obsidian divine soldier who was holding the big ring knife had been repelled dozens of meters away!
And beside him, there was actually a three-pointed two-edged knife with a purple glow.
In the blink of an eye, the three-pointed, two-edged knife bounced up from the ground, and after a few turns in the air, it flew quickly into the clouds in the firmament.
"Who is it? Dare to meddle with the old man's affairs! ”
The old man was taken aback, he didn't expect this three-pointed two-edged knife to be so powerful, it could actually shoot out from a height of hundreds of zhang, and also bounce the obsidian divine weapon of the heavenly general-level into the air. The strength of the person who threw this knife should not be underestimated.
There was no sound in the clouds, but there were dark clouds, slowly pressing down with the low-hanging canopy.
The old man squinted at the sky. I didn't expect this mission to be simple, and I actually ran into a difficult guy again. He cleared his throat and shouted again.
"What? Is it because you are afraid of the old man? Don't dare to show up, what kind of ability is it? ”
The old man's words echoed in the sky, and before the words fell, suddenly a wild laugh echoed in the sky.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect General Ben to throw it casually and let you be so open-minded, it's really funny! Interesting! ”
After this burst of laughter, horns of different heights sounded all over the sky, filling every gap in the sky for a while, as if a new battlefield had been carved out in the night.
"This ...... This is...... Horn of the marsh behemoth? ”
Even the conceited and arrogant old man with inexplicable stunts couldn't help but change color when he heard the sound of the horn.
Immediately after that, the sound of the trumpets ceased, and suddenly four horns rang out in the north, south, east and west, followed by a dense thunderous drum sound.
"Dragons and Drums...... Could it be the army of the demons? ”
The old man frowned and said to himself.
"Even if you have a little knowledge, you actually know the horns of the marsh giant beasts and the drums of the dragon dragon, I am the commander of the 300,000 demon army!"
After saying this, the clouds on all sides of the sky dispersed at the same time, and 300,000 demon troops appeared in the clouds with bright weapons. All of a sudden, flags were waved and war drums sounded, which was spectacular.
"Why is it that the demon army will take care of the affairs of the Nether?" The old man said secretly in his heart. In the next moment, his eyes fell on the peach wood fairy riding a paper kite beside the devil, and he immediately had an answer.
"Old peach tree! He must have been in the way. ”
At this time, the peach wood fairy who was between the clouds was very concerned about Zhang Xun, who was still in control.
Regardless of his identity, he said to the devil in a pleading tone.
"General, that's Xiaoxian's apprentice, please help Xiaoxian rescue him."
The ruthless Demon General only replied lightly, "I know", and said no more. The most important thing at the moment is to control the gossip of the heavens and not to overturn, Taomu Xian watched the old man in the yellow moire black cloak aim the strange instrument at the gate of the underworld to smoke black smoke, and immediately understood the other party's intentions. He shouted a warning to the devil.
"General, that old man is extracting the qi of the underworld, the underworld and the heavenly court are the two channels that control the heavenly gossip, if the qi of the underworld is sucked out by him, the hexagram of the heavenly gossip will be overturned by half, and when the sun and the moon are reversed and the rivers are reversed, I am afraid that the world will immediately become purgatory. Hurry up and stop him! ”
"You don't have to command it. General Ben is going to do it right away. Otherwise, I came all the way and left without a fight, how could it be in line with my magic style. ”
After that, the devil waved the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand and said.
"The whole army obeys the order! Attack! ”
The soldiers of the demon army standing in the clouds seemed to be liberated, and poured down like a tide. They all covered their faces with strange-looking masks, held all kinds of strange weapons and magic weapons, shouted the mysterious demon battle horn, and attacked with all their might.
The old man hurriedly put away the spirit suction pot: thirteen of the fifteen runes on the pot had already lit up, and two were gray in color.
Damn, it's just the last point, I didn't expect the demon army to come out and stir up the situation. But looking at the current situation, if you don't take action, I'm afraid you will lose all your efforts. It seems that the king was going to send Kagegami at that time, I'm afraid it was just to prevent this kind of situation. Your Majesty's foresight is really beyond our reach.
The old man said secretly in his heart. He shrunk the spirit suction pot and put it in his waist pouch, and his hands quickly sealed, throwing a stream of yellow light into the obsidian divine soldier.
Except for the two divine soldiers who controlled Zhang Xun and Ying Long, the rest were all surrounded by the old man in a circle.
After the old man finished sealing, he poured the power in his hand into all the stone soldiers around him.
All the stone figures opened their mouths at the same time, aiming their faces at the approaching demon soldiers in the sky.
"Obsidian Divine Soldier, Sky Burst Spirit Cannon!"
With the old man's order, a stream of yellow spiritual power erupted from the stone soldier's mouth, and dozens of strands converged together, actually occupying half of the sky. The flow of spiritual power hissed loudly, and the current of the dragon and snake dance burst out, crushing the demon army that was rushing forward with one blow!
"Report! The 1,000-strong team of the vanguard of the former army was completely wiped out! The rear army is approaching the enemy! ”
The scout-like demon army soldier ran quickly, knelt in front of the demon rut and said.
"Pass my orders! The whole army gathers and forms a demon dance dragon formation! ”
"Order!"
The scout stood up and turned, raising a command flag in his hand. The big word "Demon" on the flag is particularly eye-catching in the air.
The charging demon army formed a circular formation.
Seeing that the formation was stable, the devil immediately nodded to the scout.
The scout bowed down and pulled another flag from his body. He unfurled the banner again, revealing a strangely shaped beast's head on it. He raised the flag and waved it vigorously from side to side three times in the air.
The flag clearly conveys the commander-in-chief's orders. The demon soldiers who formed a circular formation recited the battle horn in the demon language at the same time as the flag, and the weapons in their hands were waved down together. A stream of black gas quickly emerged from the weapon, and it also converged together, forming a black dragon with a head and tail, teeth and claws, and rushed straight towards the dazzling yellow spiritual power stream!
The two forces collided violently and froze in the air, and the dust and fallen leaves in the surrounding air, as well as the floating earth and bricks on the ground, were all staggered and rolled up by these two forces. A huge roar sounded in my ears like thunder. As a result, the air was stained with a strong smell of soot.
The old man gritted his teeth and insisted in the face of this surging force. But what he is most worried about is that this power is only the result of the combined efforts of 300,000 demon armies and one army, if all the demon armies are used together, what can it be?
The old man's heart moved. The hands quickly sealed, strengthening the power of the spiritual power flow that erupted from the mouth of the obsidian divine soldier. In the confrontation between Huang Guang and the Black Dragon, Huang Guang extended upwards for another time.
Seeing the old man's strength in the confrontation, Mo Zhe sneered and said, "I don't know what is dead or alive, and I dare to use my mantis arm as a car!" ”
With a wave of his hand, the flag was played, and the two groups of demon armies around the Demon Dance Dragon Formation immediately changed their formations, forming two circular formations, and at the same time, two black dragons erupted and joined the confrontation with Huang Guang. Huang Guang was immediately pushed away dozens of meters, showing his disadvantage.
But a sinister smile flashed in the old man's eyes.
"You fools, you've fallen for the old man."
He stretched out his hand and patted it, and the obsidian divine soldier suddenly retracted his open mouth, and the yellow light disappeared from the sky. The three entangled black dragons had no fighting opponent, and immediately fell from the air like a waterfall and pounced on the ground, causing the ground to shake violently.
The shaking was like the collapse of the mountains and the cracking of the earth, as if it were about to lift the whole ground.
The vibration continued for a moment and finally slowly stopped, and a huge funnel-shaped pit appeared where the old man and the obsidian divine soldier were standing.
But there was not the slightest trace of the existence of the old man and the stone soldier in the pit.
"Dusted to dust? It's vulnerable! Demon Zhe snorted coldly.
"That's not right!" The peach wood fairy was excited, and said. "This old man just used the technique of borrowing and transforming into shapes, and he actually escaped in such a dangerous situation!"
"What is the form of borrowing and objecting? You actually look down on the formation of my demon army? ”
"General, the fairy has no offense. But if you think about it carefully, why did this old man urge the general to strengthen the attack of the formation knowing that he was invincible. Xiao Xian once heard such a spell, he can use the power to transform into shape, as long as the power of the opponent's drive is stronger, he can borrow this power to tear a teleportation channel in the space, and immediately escape from danger. ”
"I didn't expect such a hand? I said how come there wasn't even a bit of scum left. ”
"Xiao Xian has only heard of this kind of profound spell, and he has never seen it, so I'm afraid it's the first time I've encountered it today. However, thanks to the efforts of the generals and soldiers, Xiaoxian estimated that although the gossip was on the verge of collapse, it had not yet reached the point of overturning. The door of the underworld will be closed in half an hour, and the next time it is opened, it will have to wait for the day of Yijiazi, and this crisis should be temporarily resolved. ”
"Humph! Originally, this time it was a last resort, and you don't have to thank me, maybe we will be enemies tomorrow, there is nothing to say. ”
The Demon General pointed to the two figures on the ground.
"Is that your apprentice, it seems that the old man left them here."
Taomu Xian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the general's help, Xiaoxian will go to see how the situation of the inferior disciples is first." ”
With a gust of wind, the paper kite that the peach wood fairy was riding floated to the ground. He jumped down and ran to Zhang Xun's side. Zhang Xun and Ying Long were lying side by side, their eyes closed, and their bodies were cold.
"It's okay, it's okay, the breath and pulse are still there."
Momok Fairy breathed a sigh of relief. Demon Ruts walked up from behind him and asked in a low voice.
"Which is your apprentice and how is he doing? When he wakes up, General Ben still has a lot of questions to ask him! ”
Taomu Xian hurriedly got up and said, "This one who looks younger is a bad one. Wait for Xiaoxian to heal him first, and when they wake up, let the general ask. ”
Devil snorted. This act of treating the wounded seemed to him to be a waste of time. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and if you want to grasp the advantages of the battle situation, anything that may drag down the battle situation will be regarded as an outcast. If you can't even face this little sacrifice, what can you talk about to achieve great things, it's just a joke!
In the next moment, his expression under the mask froze.
The devil's eyes fell on Zhang Xun, who was unconscious. He was covered in bruises and bruises, and the muscles on his chest were glowing faintly in the shape of a droplet.
Although the light was faint, it cast a deep imprint on the eyes of the devil. He muttered in a voice that was hard for even his own to hear.
"Could it be...... It's him? ”
