Chapter 8: Transfiguration
Time rewinds to this morning, eight o'clock in the morning, Zhongshan Park.
At this time, nearly 100 people were scattered everywhere, and Zhongshan Park was completely surrounded. And the people who can come here are all strong people above the sixth grade, and they belong to the masters wherever they are placed.
But at this time, they were all summoned by the Sword Pavilion just to exterminate a blood beast, and even if there were many people, most of them were still vigilant and did not dare to relax.
Because of this, the target this time is a large blood beast that has reached the fourth rank, and it is also very strong among the four ranks!
Since they discovered the traces of this blood beast last night, and hunted all night, not only did they not solve the target, but they were also injured by many people, and they didn't dare to be careless at all.
"The blood beast has fled into Zhongshan Park, and we have surrounded it for the first time, and we haven't seen it come out, so it must still be hiding inside." The forest farm respectfully introduced the current situation.
In front of him were two young and beautiful women, both in their twenties, but the forest farm naturally did not doubt their strength now because of their age or gender.
In this world, talent and inheritance are the most important things. And the two people in front of him are both from the Sword Pavilion, they are the real descendants of the Sword Pavilion, and their strength is much stronger than the ordinary four grades.
The older woman nodded her head in her understanding, but gave no further instructions, but didn't let them go in.
In fact, they also knew that what they had to deal with was not an ordinary blood beast, but a sword beast, and it was not something they could deal with.
It's just that the speed of the sword beast is extremely fast, and if the three of them want to hunt the sword beast, it will be really troublesome, so they have summoned other people to assist.
The appearance of the sword beast is generally a lion or tiger type, and the body size is three points larger, and the skin is as hard as fine iron, but the most peculiar thing is that the spine is twinning, and there is a natural exoskeleton on the back, affected by the growth environment, this exoskeleton will grow into a sword shape over time, which is a natural magic weapon flying sword, and it is also the source of the strength of the sword beast.
The sword beasts they have to face are originally innate level existences, but the sword tower that is far away, without the support of sword intent, their strength will definitely decline, and their master will let them do it, but this is still for the three of them to join forces!
It is conceivable that with their inheritance having to be so cautious, how powerless others would be if they really faced the sword beast.
"Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother, what did he say to investigate, why didn't he come yet? Why don't we go in first?" Li Yurou was a little impatient.
"No, let's wait together. The sword beast is different from the blood beast, and he himself is not low in intelligence, if he senses danger, once he escapes, the two of us may not be able to leave it. ”
"And Dongyu is right, it is impossible for the sword beast to run so far to attack people for no reason, last night we always thought that it would hide near the Sword Pavilion, but it actually ran here, and it actually only attacked a person who was only at the third level of Qi training, this can't be without a reason."
"Well, hopefully we can find useful clues." In fact, she wanted to go back and see what the person who made the Awakening Soul Pendant looked like, and she didn't know what time Master would meet him, whether it would be today or tomorrow.
But in any case, the sword beast is not leaving, it is in the park, and they don't need to be in a hurry.
And the forest farm was also relieved to hear that they only needed to maintain the status quo and ensure that the sword beast did not escape.
It didn't take long for Pan Dongyu to finally rush back.
"Found it! I really didn't expect it! ”
"I didn't expect anything, senior brother, you said."
"Haha, you let me breathe."
"I didn't find anything special about the person who was attacked, and I thought it was just a coincidence that he had fled nearby. But when I came back, I heard his woman say that the man had been carrying a jade pendant recently! ”
"What is this? What do you mean? ”
"It's the Awakened Soul! The person who was attacked was another person in Guangcheng who bought the Awakening Soul Suit and kept carrying it! ”
"Huh? Are you saying that the sword beast's goal is to awaken the soul?"
"Yes, I guess that's it, just now I went back to Master and got one to see how attractive it is. Let's go inside. ”
……
In Zhongshan Park, when the three of them were talking, in a relatively remote and hidden grove, a huge silver tiger was lying on the ground, but it was suppressing the pain and roaring in a low voice.
It can be seen that this silver tiger is shining with a metallic luster, and the position of the back, the bones one by one seem to be backstabbed, closely connected, forming a huge long sword.
This is exactly the sword beast that Pan Dongyu and the others are looking for, but this sword beast obviously can't see any injuries on its body, and it is indeed trembling violently at this time, as if it is suffering a great pain.
After a long while, the sword beast suddenly let out a long roar, and its head suddenly lifted upward, but what was shocking was that when it raised its head, its Heavenly Spirit Cover was below the sword handle, and it spread to the hilt of the bone sword on its back, and the skin was actually broken inch by inch, tearing it apart to both sides!
Inside the torn wound, the flesh was blurred.
But just as his head drooped weakly, two thin palms suddenly stretched out from the wound!
Grab both sides and slash hard!
From the body of the silver tiger, as if molting, a hunchbacked old man covered in blood stood up!
The bare head is shiny silver, the eyes are faintly dark red vertical lines, the body is thin and thin, and it looks like he is already seventy or eighty, but other than that, he is completely no different from ordinary people.
"Roar." The old man let out a low roar, and then completely left the silver tiger's body, and the blood on his body quickly disappeared into his body.
Then the old man bent down and tore off the sword-shaped bone on the silver tiger's back and took it directly in his hand.
The bone sword emitted a slight white glow, shrunk rapidly, and finally turned into a three-foot long sword that shone with silver light, as if it was really cast in metal, with only a bit of strange bone patterns left.
stroked the sword body, and the hunchbacked old man then directly lifted the sword and left, but the remaining body of the sword beast quickly turned into blood and seeped into the ground.
On the ground, there was finally an ordinary piece of jade pendant left, which was already somewhat broken, lying quietly on the dark red ground.
"The voice just now seems to have come from over there."
After a while, there was a faint voice, but when I reached the grove, all I saw was the dark red on the ground and the broken jade pendant.
"It should be the awakened soul pendant that was snatched away, it was really for this thing, but what is the use? Does this seem to have been activated? Or is it sabotage?"
"There was a dead blood beast here?"
But no matter what the doubt, the three of them obviously had no answer, but after spending a long time searching around, no one found any trace of the sword beast again!
The people on the periphery have been there all the time, and they haven't seen the sword beast go out!
"Such a big sword beast, I heard the sound before, and it disappeared like this?"
No one had an answer, and in the end, when he went back to report, he could only speculate that if he left the sword tower for too long, there might be something wrong with the sword beast's body, and it naturally collapsed.
There was some faint evidence of this from the large amount of flesh that had finally seeped into the ground, and the roar of pain that I had heard before.
……
On the other side, Wuxiang Martial Arts Hall, Jing Yang walked out of the formation, and as expected, it was Boss Wu who he saw.
Only slightly unexpectedly, next to him, there was also a thin hunchbacked old man.
This is the person from the Sword Pavilion? Looking at the long sword he was carrying, Jing Yang guessed in his heart.
"Boss Wu, you just happened to come, this is a person from the Sword Pavilion? When will the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master be willing to see me?" Jingyang was straight to the point and was not polite.
The hunchbacked old man didn't speak, but Wu Xinming smiled bitterly: "This is not a person from the Sword Pavilion." The Sword Pavilion said that I would be waiting for you at the Sword Pavilion at nine o'clock tomorrow, as for this old man, he was just found not long ago, and it was also because of the awakening soul Pei, I couldn't do it, so I could only bring him to you. ”
Wu Xinming felt that he had been really unlucky in the past two days, no, it should be said that he shouldn't have been greedy for this cheap in the first place, and he shouldn't have felt that this little thing must be nothing.
A little consequence can definitely be carried down?
What bullshit! Forget about suddenly provoking the Sword Pavilion, there is a person who suddenly ran out today.
This person is simply a madman, he has no scruples at all, if it weren't for his quick change of words, Wu Xinming was very suspicious that he had been cut off by a sword!
Completely ignoring the background behind him, he directly threatened with a sword!
"Oh, sir, what do you want?" Jing Yang turned his head in surprise, from the hunchbacked old man, he could feel the threat, and you must know that he himself has light armor and innate combat power, so this person is only afraid that it is not congenital, but also close to innate combat power!
If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible for the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion to come to the door in person, Jing Yang almost doubted at first that this would be the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion.
"I want to plant that spell of yours on my sword, can I do it?" The hunchbacked old man's hoarse voice slowly spoke, and at the same time pulled the sword behind his back from its scabbard.
The wooden scabbard is obviously another match, Jing Yang looked carefully, this sword, the sword body is silver-white, non-gold and non-wood, the material looks quite strange, it should be similar to the ancient treasure such as Xuanjin vine, the hilt is connected to the sword body, and there is no gauntlet between them, just like an iron rod is flattened at one end and beaten.
"Shall I see?"
The hunchbacked old man handed the hilt of his sword, but his hand was still gripping.
Jing Yang stretched out his hand to touch it, only to feel a burst of coldness, but in terms of the ability to hold soul waves, it was even better than jade.
"No, it seems to have a little soul wave in itself, could it be that this is the legendary sword spirit?" Jing Yang was secretly surprised. Retracting his palm, he replied:
"It should be possible, a hundred blood essences, but your sword is a little special, and it seems to be a bit spiritual in itself? I'm not sure if the spell will have any bad effects. ”
The strength of the old man was undoubted, and casting the Awakening Soul Curse was just a gesture for him, and Jing Yang naturally had no reason to refuse.
"A hundred blood essences?" The old man was slightly silent, and then shook his head: "I don't have blood essence, but I can exchange this for this." ”
As he spoke, he found a yellow-brown stone out of nowhere with his backhand, only the size of his thumb, which was natural, and it was actually the appearance of a sword.
Of course, there are more strange-shaped stones, but from this stone, Jing Yang also felt a faint soul wave, which is a soul spell similar to a soul wave that can affect others!
"It seems, it's something that makes it easier for people to comprehend swordsmanship?"
But in any case, this special soul wave definitely has a high research value for Jing Yang!
"Yes!" Without even asking what it was, Jing Yang just agreed to the deal.
The nervous old man also breathed a sigh of relief. As for Jing Yang's Awakening Curse, which might have an unknowable effect on his sword, there was no response, and it seemed that the result was already clear.
"Let's get started."
"Okay, old man, Boss Wu, come and sit down first. I'll prepare, soon. ”
