459 Hundred Ghosts and Thousands of Demons
With a scalp-tingling buzzing sound, the sky over the blackout block was shrouded in pitch-black shadows, like a converging dark cloud, blocking the view of nearby residents who were still at home from casting their eyes out of their windows. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Even though it was pitch black outside the window and nothing could be seen, the citizens still felt a strong sense of unease. It stands to reason that even if the power goes out, it won't be dark like this. And-
In Room 302 of Building 5 of the Paradise Community, a baby girl who was only more than one year old sat on her small bed, stretched out her white and tender little finger to the corner of the wall, and asked inarticulate with wide eyes:
"Mom, that's, what?"
"What's there, it's nothing." Some panicked young mothers reached out and gently patted the child's back, trying to lull her to sleep as usual, but this time, the situation was a little different:
The baby girl seemed to be pointing to the pictures in the picture album to recognize the words, and said seriously: "People." β
"Go to sleep, don't talk nonsense......" The woman looked at the corner of the wall in a bit of a panic, but didn't see anything.
In some legends, babies are more likely to see certain "things" that adults can't see, because their eyes are still clear. Today, the child's father happened to be on a business trip and did not return, and this young mother, who has always been timid, is also very nervous.
"People."
The baby repeated again, staring at the corner of the wall without blinking, and the already twisted little face suddenly twitched, opened its mouth and began to cry, still muttering: "People! β
Seeing this scene, the woman suddenly felt bad, and took out her mobile phone in a panic to call her husband, but found that her mobile phone seemed to be broken, and she couldn't turn it on no matter how she pressed it.
"Help!"
Standing in the dark bedroom, the young mother cried out in panic.
At the same moment, there was also a tense atmosphere in the underground base of the Strange Tales Research Society.
"Can you see it?" Frankenstein asked, speaking much faster than usual.
"No, the signal interference in that area is too strong, I can't get in at all." The ghost girl in a long black dress shook her head and stepped out of the glass of the workbench: "Can't the satellite see it too?" β
"There are dark clouds above." Frankenstein raised his "thin" arm and pointed to the darkness on the hologram.
Under the operation of the Monster Administration, although they are currently eager to help, they can't enter that area at all. The strong signal interference there is enough to instantly destroy ordinary ghosts without protective measures, and a robot like Frankenstein can't get close to the strong interference area at all.
"Was the Monster Authority inspired by New Ambrera's 'Biowarfare'?" The energy body made a contemptuous voice: "It's really uninspiring. β
"It's not a dark cloud." Frankenstein stared at the pitch black cloud captured by the satellite: "It's a demon. β
"It's like a ghost that can survive this kind of signal interference...... It's definitely much better than me. Bloody Mary's tone was a little unwilling, but she also had to face the facts: "The ghosts on the Chinese side seem to have always been strong......"
"Hmm." Frankenstein spoke, "It's up to Xiao Li." β
Faced with this situation, they could only send the Taoist priest who was the best at exorcism, although that guy usually looked unreliable, but in terms of exorcism, no one in the entire research group was Li Wenchong's opponent - not even the man who was a collector.
"I said earlier that kid's 'skill tree' is a little crooked, but he's still a little tender." With the help of the speaker on the workbench, the energy body expressed his opinion: "Although he has a lot of potential, after all, it has only been three months, and there is still a lot of room for development. β
Frankenstein didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement. She could see that although Zhang Luo had become an existence above most heretical creatures, he was still relatively weak in some aspects.
For example, dealing with powerful ancient demons doesn't seem to be within his reach. If you use a weather controller or transform into an evil god, you can easily sweep these things, but now......
"Looks like the Monster Authority once investigated him." The energy body sighed.
"Well, it's detailed." Frankenstein agrees with the energy body.
- The guys from the Monster Management Bureau have obviously been preparing for war with Zhang Luo for a long time, and they have also investigated his abilities. In order to use such extreme coping strategies.
Under such a powerful signal interference, even the observers of the Monster Administration Bureau could not see the situation in that battlefield, and it is likely that they also installed a spatial barrier, and the current block can be said to be completely cut off from the surrounding area.
"I hope Li Wenchong can give a little more force." The energy body laughed.
"Well, Xiao Li is very powerful." Frankenstein nodded.
β¦β¦
Rumble!
The deafening thunder shattered the silence of the night, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and fell on the blade of the short sword in the white-robed Taoist priest's hand, causing the sword body to light up with bright blue light again, like a dazzling star.
Looking at Li Wenchong, who had just been hit directly by lightning, Zhang Luo asked, "I'll go, are you okay?" β
"It doesn't matter, this 'Heavenly Sword' was cast by the legendary swordsmith Ou Yezi himself, it can absorb the damage of the Thunder Tribulation, and it was used by many cultivators to cross the Tribulation back then." Li Wenchong's voice was very loud, very different from the usual down-and-out man.
"I think it would be more appropriate to rename this thing 'lightning rods.'" Zhang Luo complained.
"Whatever." In the face of the hundreds of demons that came in a surge, Li Wenchong was also much more serious, and he didn't have time to continue chatting with Zhang Luo, pressing a shadow against the black in front of him, and almost throwing out a seemingly ordinary oblique slash with all his strength.
Bang!
It seemed like an indifferent slash, but it brought out a blue light blade hundreds of meters long, instantly blasting dozens of demons in front of them to ashes!
"I forgot to mention that this sword can release the devouring power of the Thunder Tribulation again, otherwise it wouldn't be worthy of the name of 'Sword'." Li Wenchong proudly showed off the blade in his hand, and it was another horizontal slash, creating bloody scars in the demon group.
Under the shock of the Heavenly Sword, the various demons summoned by Zhao Meng also began to retreat rapidly. The shadows that had originally obscured the sky quickly dissipated, revealing a brilliant starry sky.
"Shadow Ghosts, destroy them." Zhao Meng shouted again, but the shadow did not appear again.
Seeing the heavy casualties of the demons she had driven, the woman in gray sighed, shook her head, and said, "Useless things." β
"Zhao Tianshi wants to catch it alive...... No, I want you to confess your sins and go back to Maoshan Daoyuan with me, and I can spare your life. Li Wenchong, who was standing in the night sky, said in a deep voice, but he had a bit of a cultivator's taste.
"Do you think that's a win?" Zhao Meng bent his eyes and laughed, jumping down the gray-haired giant wolf that trembled slightly because of the power of the "Heavenly Sword", and the wolf turned into a white smoke and dissipated: "You are still too naΓ―ve, Taoist!" β
Li Wenchong was about to continue to give an ultimatum when he saw the woman take out an inconspicuous brass bell from her jacket pocket, shake it gently, and say something in her mouth:
"When the night is dark, the bell stands on the high platform, you can see a hundred ghosts, a thousand demons, and ten thousand demons!"
"What you killed just now was just the 'Hundred Ghosts', now I'll show you what the 'Thousand Demons' are like!"
With Zhao Meng's voice, a gray and white double door covered with white bones appeared behind her, which was hundreds of meters high.
Before the door could be opened, there was a nauseous whimper and swallowing sound from inside, as well as the sound of a heavy object dragging on the ground: "Bang ......"
"You're ......"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Wenchong immediately swung the Tiancang Sword and slashed at Zhao Meng's head a hundred meters away, and the hissing lightning blade brought out a clear blue light and shadow in the night sky.
A second later, the light of the Heavenly Sky Sword ...... Extinguished.
"What's the situation?"
Before Li Wenchong's words fell, in the darkness in front of him, a rotting human head without skin suddenly appeared, which was at least five meters tall by visual inspection, and his face was so rotten that his bones were exposed, and he bit it with his mouth open.
Click!
The upper and lower gums full of yellow teeth snap together, creating a loud sound like metal striking. At the last moment, Zhang Luo, whose wound had not healed, rushed over, grabbed Li Wenchong's arm and pulled him out of the monster's bloody mouth.
"Why are you stunned?" Zhang Luo whispered, "Hurry up!" β
He could see that Zhao Meng was not exaggerating, the demons that appeared this time were much more fierce than just now, and there could not be only one "Thousand Demons", if there were nine hundred and ninety-nine as strong as this monster, even if the weather control function could be used, it would be difficult to solve these things.
As expected, behind the rotten human head, a large number of shadows that seemed to be inhuman appeared, and countless demons walked out of the door that slowly opened behind Zhao Meng, although it did not cover the sky like the "shadow ghost" just now, but the sense of terror and oppression brought out was much stronger than just now.
"It looks like I can only run......
Frustratedly glancing at the dim Tiancang Sword in his hand, Li Wenchong pulled the seriously injured Zhang Luo to turn around and run, although there was no support under his feet, but every step was very solid, and there was no sign of unstable center of gravity at all.
This guy is quite powerful, Zhang Luo thought to himself.
Usually Li Wenchong always looks listless and down-and-out, often borrowing money from himself, and when he meets "Taishan Mansion Jun", he is directly killed in seconds. But this time, this "unemployed man" who has not been able to find a serious job since he was discharged from Maoshan Taoist Academy finally showed his true strength.
The former chief disciple of Maoshan Daoist Academy was not as straw as it seemed on the surface, Zhang Luo could see that Li Wenchong's ability was indeed much stronger than he imagined!
But just like that, it's too reluctant to fight against the "Thousand Demons".
The two of them rushed out a kilometer away at a wind-like speed, Zhao Meng's figure had already disappeared, and before they could breathe a sigh of relief, thousands of sharp steel needles suddenly appeared around them, stabbing at the vital points around them at an incredible speed.
"Bell!"
Zhang Luo created a space shield between the lightning and flint, blocking the deadly silver needle flying from around him and Li Wenchong, looking at Li Wenchong, who was two meters away from him, he suddenly thought of something:
"My 'Domain Control' has been upgraded?"
-- "Domain control," which used to be effective only within a one-meter range, can now be controlled over a much larger area. That being said, now is not the time to confirm skills......
"Retreat!"
Zhang Luo dragged his tired body and continued to retreat with Li Wenchong. Two seconds later, they were completely blocked by demons pouring out from all directions.
"Ahh
Terrible howls and angry roars played eerie music over the city, and countless human hands surged out from the darkness ahead, grabbing the bodies of the two, but they were blocked by Zhang Luo's newly upgraded spatial shield.
Hundreds of skeletons dressed in the scale armor of ancient soldiers fanned Zhang Luo and Li Wenchong from behind, and these soldiers who were all earthy and looked like they could be shattered at any time, even held tattered dark blue battle flags with the word "Qin" written on them in small seals......
", Qin Dynasty army?" Li Wenchong's eyes widened in surprise.
"Whatever they used to be, now they're just ghosts at the mercy of that woman." Zhang Luo tried his best to maintain the spatial shield around him, while quickly looking for a way to escape.
A large number of female ghosts in red appeared above their heads, and under their feet were blocked by a mass of flesh of unknown nature, although it looked like a desperate situation. But......
Thinking of the attack method of Li Wenchong's divine sword just now, Zhang Luo quickly asked, "Can the Heavenly Sky Sword still be used?" β
"You can summon the Thunder Tribulation, but you can't defeat these demons with the Thunder Tribulation alone." Li Wenchong shook his head: "These demons are much stronger than the ones just now. Sorry, bro......"
Looking at the depressed Taoist priest in front of him, Zhang Luo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you haven't paid back Lao Tzu's two thousand yuan, I won't let you die." β
"Damn, I thought you forgot." Li Wenchong subconsciously finished speaking, only to realize that he had missed his mouth.
"It seems that for your sake, you can reduce the debt of five hundred yuan for my sake." Zhang Luo smiled.
"Is your life only worth five hundred yuan...... Li Wenchong said weakly.
Although he is still surrounded by demons, after Zhang Luo's alternative "psychological counseling", he is not as desperate as he was just now.
Seeing that Li Wenchong began to calm down, Zhang Luo decisively ignored the strange sounds of the demons around him, and instead went straight to the point: "I'm injured now and can't exert my strength, the barrier can still last for about sixty seconds, before the barrier disappears, can you use the Tiancang Sword to create thunder and lightning and bombard the streets below?" β
"What's the use of that?" Li Wenchong looked at him with some confusion, and then suddenly thought of something: "Do you think the signal jammer may be below?" β
"Well, I just took advantage of the escape to calculate it." As Zhang Luo spoke, the scene of the power outage just now had been reproduced in his mind. If he's not mistaken, the previous outage, though incredibly fast, did spread outward from this street.
If the Monster Administration had used a ground jammer, there was a high chance that it would have been buried in this area. And as long as lightning destroys that thing--
"I could kill that woman in seconds. Believe me. β
Speaking of which, the pale-faced vampire finally showed his usual confident expression again. (To be continued.) )
