Chapter 31: Joining forces
The cargo ship was still shaking violently, and the souls in the water not only did not mean to stop, but scrambled to climb onto the ship.
The souls of the dead were like stacks of arhats, stacking higher and higher, rushing up from all directions.
Everyone, hold the ship's side, don't let them get on board! He Lao shouted anxiously.
Surrounded by ghostly mist, a cargo ship is quietly moored on the river, and the cargo ship is densely covered with dead people, like a layer of strange insect eggs, what a terrifying picture!
The crowd scattered, each holding on to the edge of the ship, fighting to the death against the souls.
I've never seen such a horrible scene, and I was already stupefied.
Grandpa pulled me and said eagerly: Xiaoqi, protect yourself!
After saying this, the grandfather jumped onto the side of the boat and pulled out the corpse pen from behind. The corpse pen spun rapidly twice in the palm of his grandfather's palm, and stabbed down with a touch of golden light, directly hitting the head of a dead soul.
Wow, the revenant let out a terrible wail, and suddenly turned into a cloud of black smoke.
The corpse pen flew left and right, conjuring up one golden circle after another, and under the persistence of his grandfather, no soul could board the ship's side. But those dead souls come and go, like a churning tide, and they don't even know what it means to be wiped out.
A quarter of an hour maybe grandpa will be able to hold on, but what about half an hour? An hour?
As the battle deepened, under the continuous impact of those dead souls, Grandpa's face was already covered with cold sweat, and his movements gradually became sluggish and laborious.
The battle has entered the white-hot stage, and the men on the cargo ship have basically reached the end of their crossbows.
Of the four subordinates brought by Huang Liuye, two of them were pulled into the water by the dead souls, and they couldn't even find their corpses. In a few years, they will also become dead souls, walking under the rolling Yangtze River.
What is strange is that during the battle, the bride in red in the big red sedan chair never made a move. The big red sedan chair was quietly suspended on the river, and the bride in red was still sitting on the soft couch in the sedan chair, without any movement. The qiē that happened outside seemed to have nothing to do with her.
After another moment, three more good players of the He family fell into the river one after another.
The defensive line was breached, and the souls of the water climbed onto the cargo ship one after another.
The crowd had no choice but to shrink the line of defense and retreat to the vicinity of the deck.
Xiao Qi, hurry up to the deck! Grandpa shouted loudly in a hurry, and at this moment he was haunted by several ghosts, and he couldn't get out for a while.
I panicked, turned and ran to the deck.
I don't know if it was because I was too nervous or because I was too unlucky, but I fell anyway!
Yes, fell!
I actually fell at such a critical juncture!
And the fall was not light, Venus was spinning in front of him, and the nosebleeds were coming out.
I struggled to get up, but suddenly I found myself unable to move.
I looked back in horror and was horrified to find that my feet had been grabbed by a ghost.
Immediately after, two more souls pounced on me and grabbed my legs.
After all, I was young at the time, and no matter how strong I was, I couldn't break free from the shackles of the three revenants.
The fingers of the dead touched my skin, and although I felt the chill through my clothes.
I gradually lost the strength to struggle, the cold chill made me stiffen, and I saw that the gray sky seemed to be pressing.
For the first time in my life, I deeply felt the chill of death!
Bang!
A cloud of black smoke burst in front of me.
In the black smoke, a short figure appeared.
I opened my eyes wide in disbelief and found that it was not Grandpa or Uncle Huzi standing in front of me, but Sixi!
Cai Sixi was also holding a soft sword in his hand, and the appearance of the soft sword was very similar to Huzi's soul-chasing sword.
Cai Sixi raised his sword and fell, slashing the head of a revenant, and the broken neck of the revenant spewed out a rich black gas, and his body quickly turned into a puff of black smoke, which disappeared with the river breeze.
The rest of the revenant pounced on Sixi with a backhand, and Sixi kicked the revenant to the ground first, and then pierced the revenant's chest with a sword, nailing him to the ground.
Wow Whoo Revenant looked at his chest, screamed, and disappeared into black smoke.
I looked at Sixi blankly, soaked in cold sweat, and the figure of this kid became extremely tall in front of my eyes at this time.
Sixi pulled me up: Why are you stunned? Come on!
My heart swelled with deep emotion, and at the same time, mixed with a trace of guilt, I didn't expect that the person who saved me in a dangerous moment turned out to be the person I hated the most before. Of course, I am still a little ashamed, they are also bean-sized children, but Sixi's martial arts are so good, and he is not afraid of danger, I am far from him compared to him.
Sixi escorted me all the way back to the deck, and I asked Sixi curiously: This sword in your hand looks like Uncle Huzi's soul-chasing sword?
Sixi's wrist shook slightly, and he pulled a sword flower: This is the father-in-law's imitation of the soul-chasing sword tailor-made for me, and the name is called Snatching Soul!
I did a rough calculation in my mind, and until this moment we had killed not a thousand but eight hundred, but there was still a steady stream of souls surrounding us, and we were standing on the deck in a circle back to back, and beyond that, every corner of the cargo ship was crawling with souls.
I finally knew why the masters sent by the He family twice were all wiped out, and in the face of such a huge army of revenants, there was only deep despair in my heart. Even if you don't die in battle, you have to be exhausted to death by these souls.
What to do? There are too many revenants to kill! Huzi wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his hand with a sword, and split the revenant souls that rushed up in half. Due to the consumption of a large amount of body, Huzi was also so tired that he was out of breath, and his face was a little blue.
There is a cloud in the art of war, and the thief captures the king first! In my opinion, these ghosts are at the behest of that ghost woman. Instead of wasting your strength here, you should just go and kill that ghost woman! He Jialei was arrogant, looking like a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he actually broke out of the encirclement alone, jumped into the river, performed light skills on the water, and directly killed the ghost bride in the big red sedan chair.
Jia Lei, you are really messing around, come back quickly! He Lao shouted anxiously, but He Jialei's figure had already gone far.
Five meters away from the big red sedan chair, He Jialei slammed his toes on the water, and the whole person jumped high in the air with a dragonfly, moved in the air and turned around twice, and the six-section whip in his hand crackled and crisp, like a poisonous snake that fell in the air, piercing the air and shooting towards the ghost bride in the sedan chair.
The bride in red flicked her sleeves slightly, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was like a cannonball, shooting at He Jialei at a more rapid speed.
He Jialei was shocked and hurriedly made dodging moves in the air.
Although he dodged the blow, his body lost his balance and fell like a bird with broken wings.
Before he could fall into the river, two big red curtains flew out, instantly wrapping He Jialei in it, winding it into a pupa and then retracting it into the soft couch.
Jia Lei! He Lao's eyes are split, in addition to the eldest son He Jiayong, the most talented of the He family is the second son He Jialei, if He Jialei encounters another accident, then the He family will really be finished!
Come on! He Lao shouted hoarsely and jumped into the river first.
At the same time, Huang Liuye, Lu Haolan, Huzi and Grandpa also jumped down after him.
The heads of the five major families turned into five afterimages, swept across the river quickly, and joined forces to deal with the bride in red.
He Lao was heartbroken, rushed into the soft couch, and the nine-section whip went straight to the front door of the bride in red, and at the same time scolded sharply: Demon girl, eat me with a whip!
Crackling!
The nine-section whip volleyed out an S-shape, bursting out of a dazzling blood-colored light, drawing a strange and tricky arc, which seemed to attack the face of the bride in red, but in fact, the volley folded slightly, and actually crossed the top of the bride's head and attacked the back of the bride in red.
The bride in red saw it accurately, and the water sleeve shot out like lightning, and it rolled up the nine-section whip at once, and the rich ghost aura wrapped the nine-section whip, and the red light on the whip was violently suppressed.
Wow
With a ghost roar, He Lao couldn't catch his momentum, and was thrown out by the water sleeve, slammed through the sedan chair, and fell into the surging river.
At this time, Huang Liuye and Lu Haolan killed at the same time.
Huang Liuye held the black plate axe high with both hands, dancing like a whirlwind, this is the Huang family's famous ghost slaying axe.
And Lu Haolan's weapon is quite peculiar, it is actually two iron claws cast from stainless steel, set on the fingers, connected to the arm as a whole, the iron claws are extremely sharp, blowing hair and breaking hair, the name is Yama claw, just now I saw Lu Haolan tear a dead soul to pieces with Yama claw.
Both of them are first-class masters, and they cooperate very tacitly.
Huang Liuye's ghost-slaying axe slashed directly at the head of the bride in red, but Lu Haolan's Yama claw stabbed into the bride in red's abdomen.
With just one move, the bride in red was blocked up and down.
In this moment of lightning, only the sound of swishing was heard, and the curtains hanging in the palanquin were quickly intertwined in front of the bride in red at lightning speed, like a spider web.
Huang Liuye and Lu Haolan turned into two flying insects that fell into the net.
Huang Liuye knew that something was wrong, so he stopped the offensive in mid-air, and rolled in the air and fell into the river.
Lu Haolan couldn't close the momentum, hit his head in the net, slammed into the big net, and bounced out far away, and suddenly sank into the water.
When Huzi and Grandpa arrived, the big net shot out of the sedan chair with surging ghostly energy, and shrouded Huzi and Grandpa.
Grandpa crossed his hands in front of his chest and shouted: Huzi, on!
The tiger flew up and put his feet on his grandfather's crossed arms.
Yikes! Grandpa let out a deep sigh and pushed his arms forward.
With the help of his grandfather's push, Huzi spun rapidly in the air like a spinning top, and the soul-chasing sword circled and flew around him, transforming into countless flowing blue lights. A man is a sword, a sword is a man, and the man and the sword are one, instantly penetrating the big net, and shooting straight at the red-clothed bride in the sedan chair with lightning speed.
