Chapter 5
Zhang Xun wanted to stop it, but it was too late. The ancient sword slashed down, and the golden light poured out like a flood, and the runes carved on the ancient sword flashed red one by one, and the hilt of the sword that was bitten by the head of the ornamented beast buzzed. With a loud roar, the bracket surrounded by the wooden dragon was slashed into thousands of pieces by this sword!
The man smiled and stepped onto the pedestal. He raised the ancient sword in front of his eyes, his breath mixed with a snake-like sizzle, and looked at the glittering Imperial Dragon Blood Channel.
"As long as I cut off this dragon vein with a sword, the world will return to its original point. Hahaha! ”
"With us here, you don't have any delusions!" Zhang Xun shook his senses from his stunnedness, only to feel a nameless fire rushing straight to his head. He didn't care so much, he pulled out a piece of talisman paper, sketched three blooming flowers on it, and then flicked his fingertips, shooting the talisman straight towards the man's back.
The man sensed the danger approaching behind him, and let out a slight gurgling sound in his throat. The spell struck like lightning, and his figure suddenly turned into a haze, and the spell flew through the empty man's body and into the stone wall. Three sparks bloomed one after another, and a huge roar rang out one after another, igniting a dazzling red flame. The smoke faded away, and a huge hole was blown open in the stone wall.
Zhang Xun showed an expression of disbelief, how did the man dodge his spell? The man seemed to have never appeared, disappearing into thin air, leaving only an ancient sword thudging into the hard masonry of the ground.
Zhang Xun looked around. It was surprisingly quiet, and he could clearly hear himself and Suya's slight breathing.
"Childe, look!" The night's exclamation drew his gaze to the ground. There was a bulge high on the ground, and what was even more astonishing was that the bulge was approaching them at a rapid speed.
The two of them hurriedly stepped back until their backs touched the cold stone wall. Zhang Xun made a heart, protected the night behind him, the index fingers and middle fingers of both hands were together, and the two charms jumped out of the charm bag and flew quickly between the fingers. He muttered two incantations, spread his palms, and the two charms pressed against his palms and slapped them to the ground.
"Fairy spell, hardening spell!"
As soon as his hand touched the ground, it immediately glowed with a cold light, gradually expanding into the color of metal, and approaching the fast-moving bulge.
The look of excitement on Suya's face didn't last for a second, and he was immediately enveloped in the frost of fear. She pointed her finger forward, her voice trembling with horror.
"Childe! It's still moving! It's getting closer! ”
Zhang Xun raised his head suddenly, and the hardening charm reflected a metallic cold light on the ground, but the bulge completely ignored the hardness of the ground and continued to move forward rapidly, and its speed increased unabated!
Isn't this man using ordinary earthly techniques?
Before he could think clearly, the bulge had already moved to the eyes of the two of them, rising upward, turning into the figure of a man in black, and a bony hand stretched out from under the cloak, strangling Zhang Xun's throat at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye.
"Fuck off! Don't get in my way! ”
The voice gritted its teeth and showed no mercy. As soon as the man's hand was twisted and the cloak was unfurled, Zhang Xun's body flew straight out, slammed into the stone wall, and slid to the ground like a rotten persimmon, unconscious.
Su Ye was frightened by this shock, and before she could react, the man in the black cloak had already stretched out his hand, and her body rose violently in the air, and with a turn of the man's wrist, her body also rotated in a circle, and then popped back, fell on Zhang Xun's body, and passed out.
The man in black clapped his hands, sneered at the unconscious two, turned around and pulled out the ancient sword inserted in the ground, and slowly walked towards the imperial dragon bloodline.
At this time, thousands of miles away in the East China Sea, a huge image of mountains slowly emerges from the ethereal clouds, and if you look closely, you can see a huge sea turtle carrying mountains on its back, moving leisurely and slowly in the water. This is one of the three immortal mountains that Taoist monks are eager for, Yingzhou Immortal Mountain. Its whereabouts are uncertain, and in this vast sea, it is elusive for ordinary people to find its whereabouts.
On the fairy mountain, a little boy about four or five years old, fat and whirring, sat in the fairy house, closed his eyes and meditated.
Behind him, a girl who looked less than twenty was looking angry, slapping around with a whisk. She was dressed in a short gray-green leather jacket, barefoot, her hair was combed into two buns, and her clever little face was twisted to the side angrily.
"Xiangnu, stop shooting! Didn't I say don't clean your room while meditating? ”
The child spoke, but he looked old-fashioned.
But the girl, who was called Xiangnu, paid no attention to it, and turned her head to shoot harder, and the house was full of dust, and the tables and chairs were not clean, but dirty.
"Hmph, who told you not to let me go to my little brother!" The girl pouted, looking very unhappy.
The little boy slowly lowered his hands from his chest, the lingering blue on his body gradually faded, and opened his eyes to gaze at the dozens of clay dolls placed on the table.
These clay idols with rough workmanship are children's toys, but since they are fairy things, they must not be such simple things. Suddenly, the table slowly shook by itself, and the child glanced at it in surprise, and then threw himself over and held a puppet firmly in his hand. The puppet is shaped like a spiral, with a human head at the front, feet at the end, and two hands in the center of the spiral. His hands trembled, and his eyes widened.
"Xiangnu, you go out first." He suppressed the fear in his heart and commanded.
Xiangnu stopped the action of whisking the dust and said strangely: "What's the matter?" I haven't finished cleaning yet? ”
He shouted angrily: "If you are told to go, you will leave, why is it so verbose, go quickly!" "He was short and small, with a childish face, and his voice was milky, and now he shouted like this, and his majesty was completely devoid, but there was a bit of a trick, which made people feel funny.
He raised his hand and waved, as if an invisible force pushed the Xiangnu out, and the dust fell to the ground. Xiangnu rubbed his buttocks and stood up, and said angrily, "What's the matter?" also said that the gods have a good temper, and I think you are an exception. ”
As she spoke, she tiptoed towards the window, and said in her heart, "Hmph, as soon as you look at your mysterious appearance, you know that you want to hide something from me." If you don't tell me, I won't eavesdrop on it myself. ”
Inside, the little boy stared at the doll with a frown, a stick of sandalwood burning on the incense burner beside him, and he seemed to see something faint in the shaking smoke.
He held the doll in his right hand, rested his left hand on the table, and closed his eyes. The first thing that appeared was a flying charm, and then Zhang Xun's voice slowly came from the ground, accompanied by a sharp roar, and a black cloak made a whirring wind sound. His spiritual power was interrupted, and the residual incense on the incense burner slowly burned to ashes and fell into the furnace.
"What is that stinky boy doing? How did you come across such a dangerous youkai? "Zhang Xun should be investigating the Imperial Dragon bloodline according to his instructions now, could it be that the goal of this monster is exactly the same?
"Don't be stupid, with your current strength, it's impossible to win." The little boy crouched helplessly and muttered as if to whisper. "Run! Run, fool......"
The man in black dodged the spell flying from behind him, and watched with interest at the young man who was panting and getting up.
"I didn't expect you to have the strength to stand up after eating me...... Forget it, let's get the job done. A sharp sizzle came from inside the cloak.
The man's figure flashed out and appeared next to the Imperial Dragon's bloodline. The ancient sword rolled up smoke and dust in the sky, obscuring his eyes, and Zhang Xun could only vaguely see the man raise the sword high and slash it towards the imperial dragon's bloodline hanging diagonally on the broken pedestal!
"No!"
His cries pale in the pale. The ancient sword slashed towards the dazzling Imperial Dragon bloodline with a powerful impact, and the two slammed into contact, and the golden light that burst out instantly sealed Zhang Xun's eyes. The whole room trembled violently, and the boy completely lost his balance, and was thrown into a corner of the room by the tremendous force.
The burst of golden light lasted for a long time, and finally faded away.
Has the Imperial Dragon bloodline been destroyed? Zhang Xun leaned helplessly against the wall, and only after he relaxed did he feel the pain all over his body hit together. He had never felt such a big disparity between himself and his opponent, and the man in black in front of him was simply invincible, which made him a little discouraged.
While he was thinking wildly, a little light suddenly flashed in the stone room.
Light burst from the broken pedestal, quickly sweeping through the stone chamber like an exploding wave. In the center of the light hung the bloodline of the imperial dragon as gorgeous as the heavenly river, and nine thousand nine hundred and eighty-one gold threads weaved a dazzling golden light, and the gems embellished on it were dazzling, enveloping the man's tall and thin figure.
The man instinctively raised his sword, trying to resist the golden light rushing in his face, and with a "dang" sound, the sword body collided with the light, and the huge momentum shook his hand loose, and the ancient sword swirled and flew up, "aggressively" and firmly nailed into the solid stone ceiling.
The thud thrust him to the ground, and he scrambled to his feet, feeling a burning pain in his palm. Looking closely, several burnt marks on the palm of his hand seemed to mock his incompetence. The tarsal bone howled wildly, and its long, sharp fingers slammed into the stone wall next to it. After a piercing cracking sound, a large piece of the stone wall cracked.
A long pink tongue stretched out from the black cloak covering his face, mixed with a muffled sizzling sound, and two dark red lights suddenly lit up, looking directly at Zhang Xun and the others who were covering their chests and gasping.
"How can you see this kind of embarrassment......" The man's voice seemed to be a snake swimming on the ground, and his words revealed a strong killing intent.
His body sank down, quickly merging with the ground. The ground bulged slightly, and rushed towards the two of them.
"Not good! Come on! Zhang Xun hurriedly grabbed the night when he woke up, and quickly ran away from the stairs when he came.
The man followed closely behind the two, and the sizzling sound reached the young man's ears in the cold wind, and he felt a chill in his neck.
"Since you have seen the defeat of my tarsal scum, don't want to live in this world anymore...... I will chase you slowly until you are exhausted. I will torture you slowly until you breathe......"
The voice is like a gossamer, like the ** made by a person before he dies. Fear not only did not make Zhang Xun's pace of escape faster, but it made him carry a heavy psychological burden, and his steps gradually became chaotic, and the speed was obviously much slower than just now.
Suddenly, a hand reached out on the ground and grabbed his right foot. Losing her balance, Zhang Xun staggered and fell, and the hand on Su Ye's shoulder couldn't let go, bringing her to the ground.
The bulges on the ground slowly rose from the ground like soft dough and turned into a man's body. He effortlessly lifted Zhang Xun upside down with one hand in front of his eyes, and his long tongue reached out to the young man's face with a sizzling sound in his throat, spitting on his face.
"Do you know who I am, Uncle Tarsus?"
As he spoke, the black hood covering the man's head suddenly squirmed and opened, and a huge black hole spread out from inside, and a blue glow swirled from inside, extending outward in a radial shape.
The man in black broke his psychological defenses with absolute combat power. Zhang Xun had lost the desire to survive at this moment, he closed his eyes, waiting for the moment of death.
Unexpectedly, a fresh wind suddenly drifted past him, and the graceful singing came with the flow of the wind. This melody is like a young woman sobbing softly, like a gentle flowing water floating across the sky, making people's hearts feel relaxed, even a brutal opponent like a tarsal can't help but let go of his thin hand, throw the confused Zhang Xun to the ground, and revel in the music.
A trembling voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Xun's ears.
"Childe. I'll hold him back with illusion, run away! ”
As soon as the words fell, the illusion imposed on the boy was unraveled. The slender and delicate eyelashes beat gently with the eyelids, the lips slowly opened and closed rhythmically, and the lingering melody slowly flowed out of her lips with the light tremor of the tip of her tongue, echoing in the empty stone room.
But he saw something strange in his peaceful face. Beads of sweat were oozing out, and the breath of the song was gradually shattering. The tarsal bones, temporarily controlled by illusion, danced and danced, and his body was relaxed for a while and tense for a while, like a harlequin on the stage.
"Let's go! Son! His willpower is so strong, I can't hold out for long! ”
What to do? He quickly filtered through his mind the various ways to deal with it. In the face of such a powerful opponent, he is really not half sure.
"Run!"
He made up his mind, quickly rolled over and got up, rushed to the side of Su Ye, took the girl's hand, and ran towards the exit quickly. The surprised girl stared at the boy with wide eyes, but she still didn't stop singing.
The wind cut off the fading singing, the tarsus broke free from the illusion, and a somber roar came from the cloak.
"How dare you use illusion to tease Uncle Ben! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, Uncle Ben will catch your corpses in pieces! ”
The tarsal body then condensed into a black shadow and seeped into the ground, silently and unusually swiftly rushing towards the exit.
On Yingzhou Immortal Island, the little boy rushed to a hut. The apprentice suffered, how could the master stand by and watch, he wanted to pack up two magic weapons and go to save his stupid apprentice. As soon as he approached the house, he noticed that something was wrong, and the hut had been turned into a mess.
"Oh no, what's going on? Who did this to you! My tracking paper kite, and my universal compass are gone! Where did the thief come from? ”
The little boy was furious in the room, and a palm-sized leaf fell in front of him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and it was densely covered with childish handwriting, which was actually left by Xiangnu.
"Master, you're too bad. knew that the little brother was in danger and didn't save him. That's right, I'll take you (on your behalf) to save it. Take (borrow) your bird and find someone's plate for use, you must not be stingy, I will return it to you when I come back. ”
The little boy's meat-like face crumpled with anger, and he angrily stuffed the leaves into his mouth and chewed them to a thin scale, and cursed through gritted teeth: "This crazy girl should have thrown her into the sea and drowned a long time ago." ”
"Damn rats, see where you can go?"
Zhang Xun suddenly felt that his feet were weak, his body was short, and he fell into a dark shadow below his knees. He subconsciously reached out to hold something, but he didn't expect his fingers to be firmly glued. What his fingers touched was not a cold stone staircase, but something soft and sticky.
"Oops! It's a swamp! ”
A pain from his feet crept up all over his body, into his heart and spleen, and extended to the ends of every nerve, and his body was almost paralyzed into unconsciousness.
He shook off his left hand that was sticking to the soft mud, and the skin on his fingers was torn off, and at this time the black swamp was almost up to his waist, he hurriedly inserted his hand into the talisman around his waist, pulled out four charms, and threw it at the black shadow that stretched into the distance with all his strength.
Four spells snapped against the black shadow, flashing four orange sparks. The black shadow on the ground disappeared without a trace in an instant, and Zhang Xun was spit out by the swamp and thrown on the edge of the stone steps. Half of his body slid down the stone steps, hanging high in the air. He was busy clutching the stone steps with his hands, his body dangling in the air, shaking constantly, and his knuckles glowing pale with all his might.
Sushiked his way back to the stone steps. The frightened two couldn't stop gasping, and the sweat had already soaked their clothes. The pain continued to come along with the twitching calves, and patches of black and purple-red ecchymosis appeared on Zhang Xun's calves.
"Childe, this ...... Let me take a look. ”
Su Ye stretched out his left hand to pull away a few strands of long hair hanging in front of his forehead, and his right hand was flat above Zhang Xun's calf, as if a beautiful lotus flower bloomed in his palm, and a soft light flashed in the lotus's heart, brushing the scars on his calf. Everywhere the light went, the traces quickly faded, and the calves quickly regained a healthy blood color. He moved tentatively slightly, and it was no different from before.
"Humph! When death is dying, there is still time for me and me, and I will send you to the underworld to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks! ”
A huge black shadow suddenly shrouded the two of them, Zhang Xun didn't have time to hesitate, and rolled forward to knock Su Ye aside. Where the two of them were just staying, a huge gap was cut open by the black shadow, and the cut was flat and smooth, like a mirror.
"It's not fun to play like this, I'm going to have a good time for you!"
Before the words fell, the blurred face melted into the black light, shooting towards the two of them like arrows from the string. Zhang Xun tried his best to push the night and shouted.
"Run!"
"Childe!"
The boy was overwhelmed by the roar of the stone steps and the flickering of black light, and immediately disappeared, and when he saw this, he hissed and shouted.
She couldn't restrain the shaking of her whole body, and she couldn't wait to rush forward and die with the man with the contemptuous eyes.
"Goblin, it's your turn next."
"Not necessarily!"
The tarsal bones turned back in amazement, Zhang Xun was climbing with one hand from the top of the severed stairs, and he fell to the stairs below in three or two strokes.
"Stinky boy, see how long you can escape!" The black cloak turned into a black light again, flying towards him at a faster speed than before.
Zhang Xun turned around and ran wildly, but the black light was obviously faster than his feet, and it flashed in front of him, leveling the stairs in front of his feet. He couldn't catch up and almost fell into the bottomless abyss.
The black light seemed to have already guessed his thoughts, and with a flash of light, the retreat behind him was also cut off. Then it condensed into a cloud of smoke, and a black shadow with a tall tarsal bone slowly emerged, glaring angrily at the young man in front of him.
"There is no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, I see what tricks you can play."
The tarsal raised his right hand, and his bare arm was densely covered with shiny hole-like black markings. The dense markings squirmed as if they were alive, and both hands of the tarsal bones were shrouded in black mist like a spirit snake.
The tarsal bone waved his arm slightly, and the huge black light pounced on the stunned boy like a giant python prey.
As if sensing the impending danger, Zhang Xun's pupils flashed a blue light, and he didn't have time to think about it, he quickly glanced at the ominous beam. The yin and yang eyes really caught the subtle changes in the black light. In the center of the black beam of light were countless rotating discs, and the powerful suction generated by the discs sucked in the countless fine dust particles that filled the surrounding air.
"With your weird eyes, can you see through my stunt?"
The tarsal let out another sizzling sneer, and his hand slashed violently in the air twice, and the surging black qi condensed into two black ribbons, which shrouded him in a criss-cross shape.
Nothing can be seen!
His yin and yang eyes have become ornaments at this moment.
In an instant, two black lights quickly converged, cutting a tiny gap in the air, and the black smoke swirled around the gap, gradually expanding into a huge black void, like a black full moon hanging in front of his eyes.
"This is Lao Tzu's stunt, the dark snake and the moon. Boy, you've got your eyes open! ”
The tarsal bones slammed the hands across their chests forward, and the surging mist quickly condensed into a huge snake head, which erupted from the black hole and devoured the stunned boy.
"Childe, next to you!" Seeing that Zhang Xun was oppressed by this strange trick and was powerless to resist, he couldn't care about his own safety and reminded him all night.
The girl reminded Zhang Xun to save his life. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the golden pillars leading to the room below. Without hesitation, he swooped over, clasped the smooth pillar tightly with his hands and feet, took a deep breath, and sank his body down with all his strength, and the whole person slid down the pillar quickly.
At that moment, black smoke flew through the place where he had just stood, and was instantly swallowed into the black smoke, and there was not even a trace of scum left.
How could the tarsal bones, who have always been very self-assured, be so ashamed and humiliated, and let him escape by using his own stunts. At this time, he had no idea of teasing his prey at all, he just wanted to break these two little things into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Suye noticed a huge force surging behind her, holding her feet firmly. Before he could scream, his whole body was thrown out and hit the stone pillar. Zhang Xun hurriedly freed up his hand to hold the soft nightsleep all over his body, and the downward trend suddenly stagnated.
In the blink of an eye, there was a strange fluctuation in the air, and the face of the tarsal bones and blurred features emerged from it, this attack did not drag the mud and water, it seemed that he had made a determination to kill, and everywhere he went, the huge columns disappeared one by one into the black smoke that he had formed.
Zhang Xun gritted his teeth and held on, his fingers and knees gradually stained with blood in the rapid friction. Seeing that the ground was close at hand, the hideous faces formed by the air also chased closely from above. He hurriedly arched his body, his feet supporting the column and bending his knees with force, taking advantage of the momentum to bounce his body far away.
When he landed, he instinctively turned sideways to protect the unconscious girl, and his right arm slammed into the hard ground, making a crisp sound of "Gada", and he only felt a heart-piercing pain, obviously the bone of the arm was broken.
The tarsal bone walked over, picked up the wheezing boy, turned his face to face him, and looked at the opponent with tired and desperate eyes.
"It's game over!"
The killing intent spread as his Yin Owl's words spread, and the man in black suddenly raised his cloak, and the sharp blade of the ancient sword stabbed forward hard.
Blood splattered, a dull sound sounded where the tip of the sword touched, and the tarsal bones clearly heard the sound of sharp weapons piercing into the flesh.
But the sound was quickly drowned out by the harsh sound of metal rubbing, and the tarsal bone looked down in surprise, it turned out that the tip of the sword had only pierced the surface of Zhang Xun's body, and the narrow blade of the sword was firmly held by a cluster of objects that shone with white light.
It was a ghost hand that had changed shape, and hard bones stretched out from it, and the moment the ancient sword pierced the young man's abdomen, it held the blade deadly.
Before the tarsal could wake up from the surprise, the dying Zhang Xun unexpectedly opened his eyes.
With the strength he had left, he shook his left arm, which had turned into a ghost hand, separated the ancient sword that had pierced into his body, and slapped it on the tarsal bone's body. The tall man was hit hard before he could fully react, and his body was pushed out hard.
The tarsal bones were thrown into the rubble of the crumbling bricks and stone pillars, and the smoke and dust rose high, and the rubble continued to fall, choking the boy and coughing.
The boy raised his left hand, which had been restored to its original state, and put it in front of him, the transformation just now was completely instinctive, could it be the awakening of the ghost hand's self?
He couldn't think about it, and the pain in his body hit his mind faster. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered to Su Ye's side, gritted his teeth, lifted the girl's body on his shoulder with his left hand, and slowly moved towards the exit of the labyrinth.
"The Yang God Technique can't find the spirit of the tarsal bones."
The voice of the emperor came from the curtain. The three "Five Heavens Generals" standing at the foot of the stone steps couldn't help but look at each other.
"Did the tarsal have an accident?" Kagami was not worried about the safety of the tarsal himself, but he was afraid that something would go wrong in the task he was taught.
"It's hard to say, the Yang God's Technique will be connected to his spirit, and now the connection is broken. At the very least, it means that the tarsal bones are temporarily incapacitated. "The emperor's voice is as calm and majestic as ever." Maybe I met some difficult opponent. ”
"Your Majesty, please let me wait to support the tarsal bones."
The cloak shook slightly, and he knelt down on one knee.
"No need. The response of the tarsal soul is still there, and it should not be life-threatening, but it has been severely injured and temporarily unable to act. There are still some unclear things in the Nine Sons Labyrinth, so it is not too late to act rashly, so it is not too late to wait for him to come back and inquire in detail. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Seeing that the emperor had a plan, Jing Yu no longer insisted, stood up and stepped aside.
"If you can stop the movement of the tarsal bones temporarily, the opponent will not be an idle person." Although the emperor's voice was strong and strong, there was still no worry in his tone.
Half an hour later, countless black smoke suddenly overflowed from the rock ruins, reconverging into a tall man's figure. His chest heaved violently, apparently not recovering from the blow he had just made.
The tarsal bone picked up the ancient sword that had been opened by the ghost hand, and the ancient sword clearly left a few tiny gaps on the sword, and the cracks had already extended from the gaps. He picked up the ancient sword in annoyance, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.
"Bastard! I'm going to tear you to pieces! ”
The man's voice was full of resentment and hatred, and with the whistle, the black smoke that rose quickly surrounded his filthy body and slowly disappeared.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a soft meadow. The bright moonlight poured down on her delicate face, and the insects chirping around her made her forget the pain for a moment.
She struggled to straighten up, her hand touching a hard mass beside her. Su Ye screamed, and when he looked closely, it was Zhang Xun: his clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, stained with dust and fine sand, clinging to the well-defined muscles, his left arm was covered with blood, and his right arm was hanging loosely beside him.
"Childe! What's wrong with you......"
Sue Ye knelt beside the boy, lifted his head, and called softly. But the boy's dark blue lips were tightly closed, and he gave her no answer. Su Ye put his hand on the young man's forehead, and for fear of making a mistake, he leaned his forehead again, and the hot heat instantly spread to her forehead.
"Oh no, Childe burned badly and his arm was broken. If you don't think about it, you won't last long. ”
Standing up and looking around at night. The vast darkness in the distance, interspersed with sparkling light, seemed to respond to her wordlessly. She gritted her teeth, put the boy's left hand on her shoulder, and held his limp body, speaking softly but firmly.
"Childe, don't worry, I won't leave you alone."
As she spoke, she struggled to move her steps, stepping on the soft earth, and walking towards the light in the distant mountains.
