Chapter 8: The River Styx is difficult to cross
In Wen Quai's cognition, the overlord's temperament is fundamentally arrogant, although he can dominate and cooperate with others, but to say that he will join forces with someone and attack a certain place on an equal footing, this is ...... It's hard to imagine.
In essence, the overlord is a person whose eyes are more than ten meters long in his head, and he looks down on no one, and no one is in his eyes, although he also knows how to use each other, each takes what he needs, and he can't join forces, but on the basis, it is difficult for him to see who is equal to himself.
The overlord takes combat as pleasure, and conquest is his lifelong will, who dares to meddle in his battles, which is equivalent to grabbing food from the tiger's mouth, and he will let people come to "share food and share", which is equivalent to his identification, and regard the other party as a friend or old enemy, which is not a simple positioning.
It is said that the overlord may not even be able to afford a few eternal beings in the heavens, and who can be so blue-eyed by him? Who is that white riding shadow?
Recalling what I saw before, how powerful the power of the Ghost Monarch was, but as soon as this riding shadow appeared, the power of the Ghost Monarch dispersed like a low tide, as if he had encountered a natural nemesis...... Such a magical power is indeed above all eternals, comparable to eternity, no wonder it can be recognized by the overlord and keep pace with it, but why...... Do you always have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with it?
It's not because I've seen it in a fantasy before, it seems to be ...... No, I must have seen it in other places, and I should have seen it many times, or I have seen it for a long time, and if I think about it carefully, I should be quite familiar with this figure, familiar to ...... It makes me feel terrible.
Wen Quzhi frowned, thought about it seriously, and thought carefully about the fact that he had come into contact with everyone who wanted to connect with the white riding shadow, and there was an example of Li Yunfeng in the past, and his current brain and imagination were much stronger than before, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he was suddenly shocked and raised his head.
...... It's him!
Because it was relatively young, I didn't recognize it at once, the person I knew well, he was already middle-aged from the beginning, and he had never seen his appearance when he was a teenager and a young man, but now he has an idea, in contrast, the outline of the back of the two is vaguely the same, and he will never admit his mistake!
It's him!
It's that person!
Actually being here, seeing the relevant traces of that person again, Wen Quzhi suddenly became excited, clenched his fists tightly, this trip to the underworld, maybe he could really find the clues of that person, but he suddenly realized another thing.
...... That person had teamed up with the Overlord to break through Hades?
When I met with Yun Zhongzi before, I only thought it was a slip of the tongue or a quick speech, but I didn't take it to heart or think about it, but now when I think about it, I suddenly feel cold all over my body.
"We have reason to believe that he once designed someone as a sign of the overlord's rebirth, but it didn't work out. 』
What I didn't understand at the time is now fully understood, and the clues are completely strung together.
...... That person had a lot to do with the overlord in the past!
...... He passed on my overlord remnants, so that I could understand the thunderbolt of destruction, just to use this layout to make me a road marker and welcome the return of the overlord?
Knowing this, Wen Qu suddenly felt a chill behind him, and then realized how sinister his situation was, just a little bit, what happened to Lao Shang was about to appear to him first.
Still, talk about fear...... But it's not that because these are all the plans of that person, and I know that person too well, I can't be afraid when I think about it.
...... Don't make a fuss, that person can't do a good thing except for bad things, and if there is any of his own plans that can be carried out smoothly? There will definitely be all kinds of unsurprising accidents that will change the tone of things.
...... That person wants to train himself to become a Dao Biao and let the Overlord return? The result will definitely not be as he wishes, either a failure or an accident, and in the end, the Dao Biao will fall on someone else's head in vain...... Well, in terms of results, that's exactly what happened.
However, among the information he has collected over the years, not to mention reliable intelligence clues, there is never even a legend mentioning that the overlord has made any friends, and what is the relationship between that person and the overlord? What is the purpose of the two of them breaking into the underworld together? What are the causes and consequences? Hades is not a place where the overlord acts recklessly through the ages, even the overlord can't do it, it should have been that person who contributed more in the first place, so that person has dealt with the Hell Dragon Emperor?
A lot of confusion was born, Wen Quzhi wanted to clarify the clue as soon as possible, this may be a very important clue, can solve many of his doubts, and also add a lot of chips to the overlord and that person in the future, but the noise of the riot from behind him made him have to be distracted, and he was no longer even playing the oars, but directly stretched out his legs and kicked hard, I don't know what he was doing?
...... What kind of mess is it?
Annoyed, Wen Qu couldn't avoid suspicion anymore, and turned his head directly, but saw an unbelievable scene.
Just when he was distracted by the supernatural phenomenon just now, thinking about the relationship between the overlord and that person, the things that had been hidden in the River Styx finally couldn't be suppressed, and they came out, and even climbed onto the boat.
The foreign object that climbed onto the boat with half of its body, wet and black, wearing a black cloak and a skull, was the rumored Styx crosser, with its long claws, clasping the edge of the boat with one hand, and grabbing the leg of the man in the iron mask with the other, trying to climb onto the boat, while the man in the iron mask was kicking his legs violently, kicking the skull hard, trying to kick it down.
“...... Small...... Little White Boy...... That's not the case when I said it was good, it's ...... This ship ......"
"Don't get in the way, this ship is now in my hands, it's mine, you give me a quick roll!"
“...... You're plotting behind your back to knock me down the river...... It's so hateful...... I hate ......."
"Hate your mother! the dead will sink me early, don't bother me, your ship has been taken by me, what are you pestering about?"
“...... You...... robbed seventeen souls who crossed the river one after another...... obviously received the money, but kicked the ghost halfway into the river...... Violating the rules of Hades, they ...... Now it's all at the bottom of the river...... They...... I hate you so much...... Hate it...... I hate it......"
The hoarse voice, full of resentment and hatred, sounds creepy, and it is a full drama of resentful ghosts asking for their lives, but this picture seems to be wrong, in the final analysis, there is something wrong with the boatman in the mask......
On the one hand, he was full of resentment and tried his best to hug him, but on the other hand, he turned a blind eye, and he was heartless, and he was desperately waving the boat artemisia to fight, kicking and kicking, and he couldn't feel the other party's resentment at all.
The two sides stared at each other in a stalemate, as if no one was around, but suddenly they seemed to notice something at the same time, and turned their heads together, looking at Wen Quai, who was stunned here, six eyes, three bodies, all of them froze at once.
Then, the skeleton boatman reacted, and hurriedly jumped up, trying to take advantage of the situation to seize the ship, but the man in the iron mask took a step faster, a fierce and fast flying kick, and kicked the side of the skull in the face, this time the skull neck shattered, and the skull drew a long parabola, falling to the boundless end of the Styx, disappearing directly at the end of the horizon, and without the head of the body, waving his hands wildly, but nothing was found, and finally pounced and fell back into the river.
"Hmph, damn it, I grabbed it, no one wants to go back!"
Xiao Bai's eyes were fierce, staring at the headless skeleton that was gradually sinking, and then slowly turned his head, looking at Wen Quzhi on the other side, the latter hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You...... Not a real Styx crosser?"
“.........”
“...... Before me, the ghosts of the other ferries were ...... by you."
“...... I didn't want to turn my face so early. Xiaobai put down the boat and slowly pulled out the weapon from his waist, "Now you have to blame your bad luck, but you have to look back at this play, specialize in supernatural phenomena, or see the attractions of the River Styx, and you want to find your own death, then I can't blame me! This Holy Son is the general of the Underworld, Nangong Xiaobai, quickly leave all your money on you, and then obediently jump into the river, don't let this Holy Son do it himself!"
"Holy Son?" Wen Quzhi laughed when he heard this, and also reached out and drew the long sword behind his back, "I'm still ...... I can't get along with a creature like the Holy Son, since I met it, I will accept another Holy Son, this time, you are really robbing the wrong ghost!"
"Hmph, red-haired guy, don't think you're anything great, a guy like you, this god has to slaughter ten or eight every day!"
“...... Why did you suddenly become a son of God again? Weren't you just a son of God?"
"Son, your mother, who is divine and holy with you, eat the sword of the Son of Heaven!"
I couldn't help but say, Xiao Bai stabbed with a sword, flashing like a streamer, Wen Quzhi just had the idea of dodging, the tip of the sword was already in front of him, and he couldn't see how the sword stabbed at all.
...... So fast!
It is rare to have such a fast sword in his life, Wen Quai's heart can't help but be shocked, and at the same time, the death department is instantaneous, and the golden jade corpse of Xiaocheng is condensed, and he bears this stabbing blow hard, and at the same time, he slashes his hand, and the demon sword turns into a huge black shadow, and he is cut off on the head.
"Good guys!"
Xiao Bai was also stunned when he saw the move, Wen Quai's move seemed to be a slash, but when the giant sword was used, it was simply shot directly, as if it was a random slap of insects, and he was the cockroach covered by the black shadow of the fly swatter.
Don't dare to block hard, Xiaobai withdrew and retreated for the first time, and the mighty blow that seemed to be able to open the mountain and break the mountain did not stop directly, but gently and skillfully bent halfway, obliquely slashing Xiaobai in the retreat, the instantaneous transformation of rigidity and softness, the operation of yin and yang, containing the supreme Liangyi Absolute Purpose.
Xiao Bai watched the giant sword bend and slash, even if he was in danger, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Good technique." At the same time, it was a sword backstab, and it was the same as just now, so fast that even the power could not be captured by the eyes at all, and the streamer stabbed directly in front of Wen Quai's body in an instant.
Wen Quzhi didn't even have time to exclaim, he was stabbed by the fast sword, or the same coping strategy, with the golden jade corpse to carry hard, and at the same time swing the sword to counterattack, this time Xiaobai was already prepared, and his body was as fast as a sword, easily flashing the giant sword slap, followed by the two sides on the boat fiercely killed, you come and go, in the blink of an eye, hundreds of swords.
A fierce man dances a giant sword, fierce and fierce, the sword turns and turns and is flexible, showing the combination of yin and yang; a lonely shadow makes a fast sword, taking advantage of the speed, fast and incoherent, but the sword rises and falls, and the other hides the mystery, each sword is like an infinite back, a sword is better than a sword, and gradually leads the opponent into a trap.
Two different sword paths, each blazing a trail, climbing to the peak of the sword, now they meet on a narrow road, and the fight is extremely fierce, and at the same time, both of them are secretly admiring each other's strength.
The two chess opponents, the battle situation is difficult to solve for a while, and the white boat under the feet bears the strength of the two sides, you go back and forth, and you can't stop spinning on the Styx, completely out of control, causing the surrounding river to splash around, and the ripples are swinging outward.
Suddenly, Wen Quai's and Xiaobai's movements were paused at the same time, and they all looked at the river, only to see that in the ripples, thousands of miserable white palms broke out of the water, and they couldn't stop waving, trying to catch something, the scene suddenly became weird, and the ominous atmosphere made Wen Quzhi can't help but change color.
"What is this?"
“...... Kelpie. Xiaobai, who had been heartless, also became cautious, "But the situation is a little wrong, the water ghost will not appear in the River Styx, unless it is ......"
Unless anything, it didn't matter, because thousands of ghost hands had already grabbed the boat, and as the ghost hands approached, the boat quickly rotted and cracked, and the water of the River Styx also rushed up.
Wen Quzhi didn't take these outcropping water ghosts into his eyes, but if he fell into the River Styx like this, what would happen to him, he didn't know, so he hurriedly jumped up at the moment, and happened to see the narrator's Xiaobai also make the same action, stepping on those miserable white ghost hands, and rushing towards the river bank at high speed.
"Don't accompany you! Red-haired monster, this prince and you will fight again in the future...... You should accompany these water ghosts to practice your hands first...... Ahh
In the scream, the iron-masked man was kicked in the back by Wen Quzhi and fell straight into the river, while Wen Quzhi took advantage of the momentum to fly and soar to the other side at high speed.
...... This kick is to pay you back for the boatman just now, neurosis!
