Chapter 16: Beheading
The dark mountains and forests do not see the light of day all year round, and at night, they are even more nowhere to be seen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the middle of the forest, countless emaciated tree trunks twisted and entangled, crowded and eerie like demons hugging each other for warmth in hell. It's a labyrinth, with barely passable spaces between trees, but no one dares to set foot here, not only because of the intricacies of the environment, but also because it's a haven for all kinds of poisons. No one knows why there are so many poisonous flowers and poisonous plants growing unscrupulously here, and no one knows what kind of poisonous insects are waiting for an opportunity in the corners you ignore, this is the forgotten evil land of the world, a forbidden place that even the most ferocious predators dare not approach.
Tonight, however, a white light suddenly lit up in the darkness that seemed to have permeated centuries, and it was fleeting, but it made this dead and silent place tremble.
Huo Qiong, the sixth elder of the Huo family, a ruthless and murderous demon, was retreating step by step at the moment, with a frightened expression on his face like a frightened child.
"Impossible!" Her cry was a little hoarse, and there was irrepressible horror in her voice, "You are only twenty years old, it is impossible for you to have this kind of strength!" ”
There was a slender scar on her neck, left by the white light from before, and the scarlet blood continued to flow out under the cover of the night, slowly seeping into her collar. She held a wooden staff in her hand, with countless strange runes carved on it, which looked like a magic weapon, but the broken head of the staff indicated that it was a waste. Huo Qiong's footsteps staggered, and with the ghostly light emitted by the poison in the forest, he retreated and stared at the figure walking towards him.
If it weren't for the blade in his hand exuding a cold glow, the black-clothed Yin Lord would have been able to easily blend into the environment here. Compared to Huo Qiong's messy steps, his approach seemed very calm. He walked forward slowly, the smile on his face was well hidden: "Elder Fire said with a smile, how can there be so many impossibilities in this world. ”
hurriedly pinched a few tricks and threw them at him, which was easily dissolved by the other party, and Huo Qiong's face became even more ugly. She snorted coldly: "It must be an old immortal from your Yin family who lent you his skills, right?" Otherwise, even if you are alone, ten will not hurt me in the slightest. ”
Maybe it's because he has already won the battle, and the temper of the Yin Lord is so good. He smiled slightly and said, "You say yes." ”
Secretly, the footwork under her feet changed, and Huo Qiong disappeared from the Yin Lord at once, and only a little blood stains on the ground proved her existence just now. Seeing that his mission goal was gone, the Yin Lord didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he stopped, closed his eyes and listened carefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, opened his eyes, and continued to walk forward.
At this time, Huo Qiong's voice came from somewhere: "Boy, no matter how you say that this seat is also a member of the Huo family, even if you want to deal with it, it is only the Huo family who is right, why do you Yin family interfere?" Dogs are nosy with rats! ”
The Yin Lord was not angry at all, and still said with a light smile: "The two Yin and Fire families are an alliance, and they are originally one. What's more, you hurt nature and reason and do all kinds of evil, and everyone gets to punish them, how can you say that you are meddling? ”
"Humph!" Huo Qiong was very angry now, but there was nothing she could do about the Yin Lord, "You can be proud!" I won't play with you anymore, and I'll come to you to settle accounts when I'm healed! ”
Hearing this, the Yin Lord couldn't help laughing: "Elder Fire said that he laughed, this is a natural Jedi, since you have set up a battle here, then only one of the two of us is destined to walk out alive." ”
Huo Qiong couldn't help but grit her teeth fiercely, and there was nowhere to vent her evil fire. Before, she was quite happy to see that it was the Yin Lord who came to chase and kill her, and she didn't take the other party in her eyes at all, she set up a big array here in a vain attempt to eliminate the head of the Yin family in one fell swoop, but she didn't expect the other party's strength to be so strong, and she was actually not an opponent.
However, she did not completely give up hope, although she was a little contemptuous, but she was cautious and suspicious by nature, she left a lot of backhands here when she set up the formation, and it is not known whether she will win or lose.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the forest, and when the Yin Lord listened carefully, it seemed to be the sound of a large number of flying insects flapping their wings. His face changed color slightly, he picked up the sword technique in his left hand, and silently recited the incantation in his heart.
Although it was pitch black, the phosphorescent light on the poison in the forest provided some faint light. Through these insignificant rays of light, the Yin Lord vaguely saw a small flying insect surging over like mist, and the momentum was terrifying.
With a wave of his left hand, a dazzling red light lit up, and the blazing flames condensed into a firebird in the air, spreading its wings to meet the swarm. The insect swarm suddenly rioted, and the advancing array was stagnant, and it was about to disperse and flee immediately, but the Yin Lord acted extremely quickly, and it was too late for the insect swarm to react. Like the legendary red luan, the firebird wreaks havoc in the blue-black wind and smoke, flapping and dancing to exude rare magnificence, but it exudes some scorched smell in the scenery.
Huo Qiong's first wave of attack was easily defused, but she was unmoved, snorted coldly, and activated her second preparation.
I saw that the dirt on the ground was bulging abnormally, as if something was about to come out of it. The Yin Lord jumped onto the tree one by one, with a calm expression on his face, silently watching Huo Qiong what moths came out again.
I saw some white things come out of the bulging dirt bag on the ground, and the Yin Lord recognized it at a glance, it was a human skull.
The Yin Lord suddenly changed color. It wasn't that he was afraid, but that he recognized the source of the skulls. Looking at such a small size, it should be a child.
The bones were then slowly all excavated, confirming his suspicions. A petite skeleton stumbled underneath it, with fresh dirt on it, and if you didn't care about their scary appearance, they were a bunch of children playing with mud.
The skeletons' eyes were dark, their mouths were wide open, they couldn't make a sound, they just wandered around unconsciously. These skeletons are large and small, and if you look at the shape, the largest is only four or five years old, and the smallest is even only the size of a baby. Looking at the blue bone color on their bodies, the Yin Lord knew that these skeletons were the children that Huo Qiong used to refine medicine, and the flesh and blood were made into pills, and the bones were not wasted, and after being soaked in venom and cultivated for some time, they became indestructible and highly poisonous "bone slaves".
The hand holding the trunk of the tree trembled slightly, and the Yin Lord felt a little unbearable in his heart. These babies were brutally killed by Huo Qiong at a young age of ignorance, and the flesh and blood were scattered, not to mention the only remaining bones that could not be put into the ground, and they were used by Huo Qiong to refine such a vicious thing, which was really pitiful.
Clenching the soul drinking in his hand, the Yin Lord said coldly: "Huo Qiong, I will kill you tonight!" ”
Huo Qiong, who was hiding in the shadows, smiled: "Boy, don't talk big, it's impossible to say who will live or die tonight!" You'd better play with my bone slave first! ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the bone slaves who were wandering around like headless flies on the ground raised their heads in unison, as if they had suddenly received some order, and their dark eyes looked towards the Yin Lord on the tree.
Then, these bone slaves suddenly became agile, like white monkeys, crowded to climb the tree where the Yin Lord was.
Although I cherish these children who die early in my heart, the Yin Lord does not have too much kindness for women. He gritted his teeth and slashed at a bone slave who had almost touched his ankle.
After being refined by the evil method, the bones of these bone slaves are stronger than steel, and ordinary blades cannot hurt them in the slightest. But the soul drinker in the hands of the Yin Lord is not a mortal soldier after all, and it can almost be called an artifact. Therefore, this knife was cut down, and the bone slave was suddenly torn apart.
pulled a knife flower, and the Yin Lord was about to jump down, but he didn't know why he was suddenly stunned. It wasn't until the other bone slave was about to grab his ankle that he reacted, slashed the bone slave as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then jumped down.
Next, the Yin Lord was no longer soft, he did not use spells, but used the knife techniques he had learned to the extreme, and cut down those bone slaves one by one.
In the middle of this, Huo Qiong kept releasing poisonous scorpions, poisonous bees, poison ivy and other things to attack the Yin Lord, but all of them returned in vain. The Yin Lord didn't pay attention to these senseless harassments at all, and he burst out with anger, forming a force field with a shattering nature, and everything that approached him turned into powder, and he couldn't get close to him at all.
Two hundred and thirty-two knives, two hundred and thirty-two bone slaves. By the time the Yin Lord had cut off the neck of the last bone slave, his feet had become a pasture full of bones.
At this time, he was already sweating like rain, and the muscles of his whole body were hot, but the expression on his face was as cold as a piece of ice. He looked at the inconspicuous trees and said in a voice without a hint of warmth: "This farce has been going on long enough, it's time for the curtain to close." ”
Huo Qiong was shocked, and the place where the Yin Lord's gaze focused was where she was invisible. She didn't know how the Yin Lord found her, and she didn't have the heart to think about it now, she just wanted to leave.
But she didn't have a chance.
Like a bolt of lightning piercing the sky, the cold sword tore the darkness here into pieces, and it could not heal for a long time.
The Yin Lord lifted Huo Qiong's head, not minding at all that the stinking blood stained his clothes red. The horror on Huo Qiong's face froze forever, just as her headless body would forever become the fertilizer of this evil land.
The mission was accomplished, and his trial journey ended. But the Yin Lord did not have the slightest excitement, on the contrary, his heart was very heavy. It's because of the dead kids.
He no longer knows how many lives and deaths he has experienced, nor how many fierce souls have been hated by his sword. At the time of the killing, he was a hard-hearted man, an emotionless machine, because he knew that his targets must be damned.
But tonight, he was moved.
For the rest of his life, he would often think about tonight. It's not that this incident makes him proud, but that he will never forget the childish murmur that rings in his ears when he cuts off the head of every bone slave.
"Big brother, thank you." (To be continued.) )
