Chapter 82: The Demon Heart
Near noon, not only did there be no yang energy in the sky above the Lingli Stream, but it was cold and cold. Looking from afar, I can only see wisps of purple mist rising from the horizon for no reason, forming a line of haze on the earth, like a great wall. When I looked closer, I saw that the entire Zero Stream had been overflowed with purple mist, like a purple scar in the mountains, and the illusory Great Wall was just the tip of its iceberg.
On the cliff not far away, three horsemen and horses galloped over, two men and one woman. As soon as the three of them grabbed the reins, a black horse led by them could no longer hold on, foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground. The man on his back was caught off guard and fell to the ground.
"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few months, Yao Shen, your skills have regressed a lot. Gan Sheng laughed loudly on the side, undisguised his schadenfreude. Wrapped in a tall strip of cloth with a messy hair and shawl, his face was covered with dust, but he still exuded a chic spirit.
"Phew, it's obviously a horse problem. Yao Shen got up, unkempt.
"That's the horse you stole yourself, and you can't blame others. ”
"What do you mean by 'robbing'? I've fucking paid, but at best it's a forced buy and a strong sale. ”
"Alright, you two are serious, okay. Li'er shook her head helplessly. Two short knives were pinned behind her waist, and her sturdy figure was outlined in red tights, and the whole person was like a leopard ready to attack, ready to explode at any time and kill people with one blow.
"I just said I don't like to talk to you, I can't talk anymore. Yao Shen finally put down a sentence, dusted off his body, walked to the edge of the cliff, clenched his fists at his side, looked at the Lingli stream in front of him, his face gradually became solemn, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Li'er helped Gan Sheng down on the horse and helped him sit down.
"Gan Sheng, are you afraid?" Li'er asked suddenly.
"It's false to say that you're not afraid. Gan Sheng smiled bitterly and untied the cloth bag, revealing the Nine Sins Qin, "When I saw Yao Shen, I knew that it was going to be fine." What about you? Are you afraid?"
"I? Of course I'm not afraid. Li'er blinked, smiled slyly, and said.
"Then what did you come to my room last night?" Gan Sheng also responded with a smile.
"That's because I'm afraid you'll be afraid. ”
"Hey, you can say it directly if you covet my appearance, you don't need to hide it. ”
"Phew, shameless. Li'er rolled her eyes, stepped on Gan Sheng's ankle, and crushed it fiercely.
"I don't have my instincts, why are you stepping on it?"
"It's really a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. Li'er scolded angrily.
"Are you two ready?" Yao Shen's voice suddenly came.
"I'll go first. Yao Shen looked back at Gan Sheng, "It's up to you, brother." ”
"If it's really no match for him, leave me alone when it's time to run for your life. Before Gan Sheng could respond, Yao Shen continued, then turned his head and stared at Lingli Stream, "If you can, go to Northern Xinjiang, which should be the last place for you to do something." ”
"Then you ······"
As soon as Gan Sheng spoke, Yao Shen jumped down. The arms were spread, and the thunder flashed, like a thunder eagle, gliding towards the center of the Zero Stream. Dark clouds condensed in the sky, obscuring the scorching sun, and the faint sound of thunder was heard.
"Damn, is this guy so personal? You made me run for my life, don't blame me when the time comes. Gan Sheng was furious when he saw this, and immediately scolded.
"Childish, I'm going to help him. Li'er turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute. Gan Sheng grabbed Li'er's wrist and pulled her in front of him.
Gan Sheng pulled out Li'er's short knife, slashed his index finger, and drew a blood-patterned mask on his face, like a wizard's totem.
"What are you doing?" asked Li'er, puzzled.
"Don't worry. Gan Sheng didn't laugh as usual, but with a little piety on his face. He stretched out his hand, the blood was still flowing from the wound, and his fingertips swiped Li'er's eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, cheeks, and chin, and drew a mask on her face that was the same as his own. ”
The mask turned into a mask, and Gan Sheng's pair of eyes quietly turned blood-red.
At this time, Yao Shen had already come to the sky above the Zero Stream. Suddenly, the purple mist under him rolled up like a wave, quickly surging upward, intending to devour it. Yao Shen's eyes were cold, his eyes and hair turned silver, and Lei Gang protected the meridians in his body and took the initiative to rush into it. An instant later, several thunderbolts as thick as an adult's shoulders burst down and fell into the place where Yao Shen had just rushed in.
"Quick! go and help him!Also, you have to be more careful yourself!" Gan Sheng immediately handed the short knife back to Li'er's hand, and his anxious voice immediately sounded in Yan Yu's heart.
Li'er looked at Gan Sheng in surprise, whose blood-colored pupils looked a little blank, but nodded firmly at her.
"Give you a ride. Gan Sheng played the second and seventh strings of the Nine Sins Piano, and his voice sounded in Li'er's heart again, "Said proud and strange, and dreamed of dancing." ”
A circle of piano sound spread out, and Li'er felt that his body was suddenly much lighter, and the soles of his feet were slowly hanging half an inch in the air. She nodded at Gan Sheng, and immediately flew up, rushed out of the cliff, turned into an illusory shadow, and went straight to the direction where the thunder fell. It was so fast that it almost stretched the phantom into a staccato line.
At this moment, in addition to the sense of touch, almost all of Gan Sheng's senses are connected to Li'er. Seeing that she was about to rush into the purple mist, Gan Sheng freed up one hand and played the six-nine strings.
"Fear is lazy, and it is easy to know the underworld. ”
Li'er rushed into it, and the purple mist swept in, like countless invisible needles, piercing straight into the intruder's body. The sound of the piano sounded in Li'er's mind, casting a sound wall in his body to protect his meridians.
As Li'er continued to deepen, soon, Yao Shen and Xuan in the hands appeared in the eyes of Li'er and Gan Sheng. Gan Sheng's left hand piano style changed, and the two or four strings were stroked. Li'er's body sank, and the illusionary dream dance had disappeared.
"Say pride and sorrow, and break dreams. ”
······
The ethereal sound of the piano came into the stream. Wrapped in black flames, he rushed towards Yao Shen. Yao Shen didn't touch it, the silver light flashed under his feet, and he dodged it nimbly. With the palm of his hand, several thunderbolts roared down and landed on Jin's side, and some directly hit the top of Yuan's head. He didn't have any intention of dodging, but his figure stagnated slightly, and he rushed out of the thunder pillar unscathed.
"I don't know if it's alive or dead! I picked up a life last time! I dare to come back this time!" he roared angrily, quickly pressing towards Yao Shen.
"Demon, one of the two of us must fall here forever today. Yao Shen's gaze was cold, and the arc jumped on his fist.
"Don't worry!" he approached, his right hand formed a claw shape, and hit Yao Shen's chest, "This person must be you." ”
Yao Shen raised his fist and took the claw hard. The poisonous flames on his fingertips burned, and as soon as they came into contact with the fist, they began to corrode Yao Shen's skin. Even with Lei Gang's protective body, there was still a heart-piercing pain in his fist. Yao Shen's muscles burst out, and the thunder light on his fist burst out, shaking his eyes back.
This time, without waiting for the eyes to make a move, Yao Shen took the initiative to attack. Sometimes the long fist is longitudinal, sometimes the strength is offset, the fist wind carries the thunder light, and the moves are unpredictable, just like the treacherous change of its marksmanship. The palm is like a blade, the fingers are like a front, the elbow is like a cone, and the legs are like a whip. The arc burst out, dark green blood splattered, and the eyes were suppressed for a while and had no power to fight back.
Of course, there is no need to fight back. Yao Shen's seemingly ferocious attack did not cause him any substantial damage, but rather the poisonous flames on his body, which would corrode his opponent with every contact. The poisonous mist that filled the entire canyon also eroded Yao Shen's body all the time. Once Yao Shen's mind slackened in any way, the poisonous mist would break through Lei Gang and invade his body, turning him into a poisonous corpse.
Yao Shen leaned sideways, his shoulder resting on his chest, his right arm lifted up, and his elbow hit him his chin. Thunder burst out, shaking Yao Shen away who was trying to catch him. Then he threw a long punch and hit the Adam's apple of the eye, and suddenly got close again, hitting the lower abdomen of the eye with a heavy punch, and the strength and thunder and lightning exploded together. Eye's body arched like a shrimp and flew backwards.
At this moment, a claw suddenly poked out, grabbed Yao Shen's fist that he didn't have time to retract, and stabilized the body that was knocked away. Yao Shen's face changed, and the thunder and lightning burst in his fist, trying to shake the eye open again. Jin's eyes suddenly became fierce, and his five fingers were like hooks, and he clasped Yao Shen's fist fiercely. The impact of the thunderstorm blew his little finger away, but the other four fingers didn't move.
Poisonous flames burn, and the severed finger regenerates at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Hiss!" Four fingers burned four blood holes on Yao Shen's fist, and pus mixed with poisonous blood flowed out of it. With a wicked smile, he slapped Yao Shen's forehead with a palm wrapped in poisonous flames.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from the back of the eye. The afterimage flashed, and two short knives pierced deep into the back of the eye, one piercing the lungs, and the other stabbing the spine, which were enough to kill others. The sneak attack was successful, and Li'er was not in love with the battle, and the two knives were pulled out like lightning, and disappeared into the purple mist.
The spine broke, and the shape of the eye inevitably softened. Although the broken bone healed almost instantly, Yao Shen was able to catch his breath, his head averted the palm that passed over his eye, and he withdrew his fist. On tiptoe, jump up, arms high. A moment later, he swung his fist angrily and slammed it on the top of Jin's head. At the same time, thunder and lightning poured down like a waterfall, engulfing the eyes. With a roar, the earth cracked, leaving a large blackened crater in the ground. Gravel was splashed everywhere, dust was flying, and even the purple mist around it was a little thinner.
Yao Shen landed on the ground and gasped. At the moment when he was relieved, a gray-blue arm burst out of the flying sand. Two fingers together, like a sharp dagger, stabbed straight into Yao Shen's throat. Black poisonous blood trickled down the gray fingers, and the contrast was stark.
The sound of the piano was ethereal, Yao Shen's gaze quickly dimmed, his body was paralyzed, his flesh and blood gradually dried up, turning into bits of purple and scattering.
He grinned, his body covered in lacerations and burns that were rapidly healing. At this moment, the afterimage suddenly appeared behind Xuan, two slender jade legs rested on Yuan's shoulders, and the double knives swiped on the side of his neck, and a large area of dark green blood splattered out, almost cutting off his head entirely.
"Don't give up yet!" the terrifying wound on his neck healed instantly, and he shouted angrily, pulling out the two fingers that pierced Yao Shen's throat, and grabbing his arms to the back of his head, but only scratched empty.
Turning around in a rage, the sneak attacker had vanished without a trace, leaving only dark green blood spilled on the bare ground. Blood seeped into the soil, and half of the ground was steaming with fishy smell, while the other half slowly sprouted buds and leaves. Of course, exposed to such a poisonous mist, the young buds and leaves withered almost in the blink of an eye.
He looked around to no avail, and turned back again, but was stunned.
The ground in front of me was empty, and there was nothing. But just now, Yao Shen's body was still lying here.
The hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and he immediately turned his head to see that a fist wrapped in thunder had come to him. Yao Shen not only did not die, but he didn't even have a single scar on his body, and even the fist that was crippled by himself just now was intact.
Distracted, Yao Shen punched him on the bridge of his nose, his nose bleeded, and the whole person was beaten upside down. The afterimage flashed in the air, and Li'er reappeared, and the blade raised a bloody light on Jin's waist.
"Bastard!" he stood still, forcibly composed, and pondered the strange state of affairs.
The sound of the piano is melodious and illusory.
Yao Shen quickly approached, attacking fiercely, but Xuan directly gave up his defense, allowing Yao Shen's fists and feet to fall on him, like an unconscious, unbeatable puppet. Even Li'er became bold, and after a sneak attack was successful, he took the risk of staying for a while and making up for it.
Serious injury, healing, serious injury, healing. She seemed to lose consciousness and just thought silently.
Impossible? I killed the last soldier, why?
Is it an illusion? It's all fake?
No, when I was attacked by that afterimage just now, I didn't realize the existence of that afterimage at all.
No matter how supernatural the illusion is, it is impossible to create something that does not exist in the consciousness of the illusionist.
In other words, everything we are in now is partly illusionary, while partly real.
Half fiction and half reality, true and false, is the most headache illusion.
But when did I fall for illusion?
Where does the sound of the piano come from!
The sound of the piano is kind of familiar, who is it? Who is it! Damn! This damn brain!
The murderous heart suddenly rose, stabilized his body, forced Yao Shen back with one palm, and turned around and forced him to retreat with one punch. Then he pulled out a dark blue needle from his torn scarf and stabbed it at the junction between the back of his head and his cervical spine. Yao Shen rushed quickly, and kicked the scorpion tail on the Adam's apple, and the scorpion took a few steps backwards, and each step back would step out of a shallow pit on the ground.
The sound of the piano, the sound of the piano, the sound of the piano······
Countless images passed through his mind, and finally fixed on a pair of slender ears.
"Gan Sheng!" he roared, stepping on his feet and settling his body.
"I helped you get revenge! I spared your life! Now you help the last soldier to kill me!"
The moment he remembered this person, a figure appeared in front of him. Handsome in appearance, with long flowing hair and slender pointed ears poking out from between the hair, it is Gan Sheng. The Nine Sins Piano floated in front of him, the nine strings moved in unison, the heavens and the earth wailed, and the overwhelming sound blade storm swept in. He covered his ears tightly, his headache was splitting, his eyes were bloodshot, and his flesh and blood were torn one by one, but the killing intent in his eyes was getting heavier and heavier. At the same time, Li'er attacked again and slashed the back of the neck.
"It's just a hallucination. He sneered, raised his right arm, and turned his palm towards the figure in front of him, "Gan Sheng, how dare you show your true body in front of me." ”
Before the words fell, a storm formed by a circle of poisonous mist condensed rose from the ground, engulfing "Gan Sheng" in it. The man and the piano quickly turned into purple distorted shadows and dissipated, and the storm of sound blades quietly passed away.
"Get out of here!" shouted angrily, his eyes split.
The purple mist in the Zero Separation Stream suddenly swelled, spreading out around the Zero Separation Stream, instantly engulfing the cliff where Gan Sheng was. Gan Sheng suddenly felt dizzy, his breathing gradually became difficult, and the skin in some parts of his body had begun to die. The secret path in his heart is not good, but he still tries his best to maintain "easy to know the underworld" and "broken dreams from people".
"Gan Sheng, Gan Sheng, are you okay?" Li'er's voice sounded in Gan Sheng's heart.
Gan Sheng did not reply.
"Leave me alone, protect yourself with 'Yi Yi Zhi Ming'. ”
Gan Sheng remained silent.
Li'er couldn't take care of it anymore, and the illusory afterimage was pulled into a line, and went straight to the cliff where Gan Sheng was outside the Lingli stream.
"Bastard!" Yao Shen's eyes were gloomy, and he swept up, his hand in the shape of a claw, and went straight to his throat. He crossed his hands on his chest and blocked it. Yao Shen's legs suddenly exerted force, and he pushed forward against his eyes. The arc burst out, the thunder was shining, and there was no fear of color. However, the bandages on his arms were scorched by the lightning burn.
Seeing this, his face changed abruptly.
Yao Shen noticed that his cross-dress, his wrist shook, and the lightning burst. The bandage that had been scorched by lightning countless times finally couldn't hold on anymore and turned to ashes and scattered.
The explosion shook his eyes back, his arms thrown back, and countless thin dark green needles fell out of his arms.
