Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 89 The Battle for Survival (1)
Seeing the afterglow of the sunset outside the window shining on this pale and bloodless old face, Xu Chen suddenly remembered that Master Nangong Muyang had said that ghosts are yin things and are afraid of the sun, but this old guy in front of him came out in broad daylight and did not do anything at all, which means that he can never be a ghost.
Then there is only one reason left to explain this strange and bizarre phenomenon, this old guy is not a human, but a monster who has cultivated to become a refinement!
Just as Xu Chen was secretly analyzing in his heart, the boss's face became hideous, and his hands grabbed at Xu Chen like ghost claws! At the same time, a sharp arrow condensed by the spiritual energy of unknown attributes flew out of his palm, and the arrow flashed with a faint blue light, which was a sign of simmering poison!
Xu Chen didn't dare to respond to the enemy when he saw the ferocity, so he struck forward with his sword, causing the sharp arrow to deviate from the direction and shoot into the wall behind him, and then jumped to the side with the person's body, away from this dangerous area.
I saw that the hotel owner rolled on the ground, and crawled over quickly like a bipedal lizard with both hands, chasing after Xu Chen.
The strange voice in his mouth screamed even louder, and the more he screamed, he bent his knees and crawled all the way with his hands, leaving two blood marks on the ground he passed, which made Xu Chen shocking to see.
In the blink of an eye, Xu Chen found that he had been forced into a corner by him and there was no way out, but this made him calm down, and with the raising of his right hand, the cold ice sword formed by the condensation of true qi was already pinched in his hand.
The boss's face changed slightly, as if he couldn't bear the pain of losing his legs, the muscles of his face were twisted and deformed, and he didn't look like a human at all, like a ghoul crawling out of a mass grave.
Seeing that he was about to get close to him, Xu Chen, who wanted to cut him down with a sword, suddenly changed his mind, and instead flew up and kicked at the boss on the ground.
It's not that Xu Chen has pity, but he wants to see what this monster is, and it's not too late to kill him after he reveals his true form.
Xu Chen's kick hit the old guy's chest firmly, which immediately made his body stagnate, all his movements stopped in an instant, and his body stiffened involuntarily, and then he lost his balance and fell backwards.
"I'm going to kill you!" he screamed and struggled to his feet from the ground, howling like a wild beast, "All those who oppose the Black Wind Mountain must die!"
"Fart!" Xu Chen shouted, the true qi quickly poured out from the dantian and all converged on the tip of the sword, he angrily slashed at this monster with his sword, vowing to cut off his head again!
The figure of the hotel owner moved quickly, and actually floated in the air like cotton, followed by two fists blasted out, and the astonishing momentum brought out a sharp sound of breaking the air, piercing the eardrums.
"Click!"
Not at all surprisingly, the boss's seemingly fierce pair of fists were cut off by Xu Chen's ice sword, and the blood that spurted out of the broken wrist splattered onto his face, blurring his eyes. Xu Chen was about to reach out to wipe the blood from his face, and he already felt that the murderous aura was coming like an overwhelming sea!
The hotel owner actually stretched out a pair of ghost hands in his chest, and at this moment, he was like a ghost from hell and rushed towards Xu Chen.
His speed was so fast, and the distance between him was so close, Xu Chen didn't have time to dodge and resist at all!
But at this moment, a dazzling light lit up in front of Xu Chen's eyes, instantly making a big hole in the hotel owner's chest, blood shot out, and his whole person flew upside down, fell on a dining table, and smashed it to pieces.
"Don't fight him, or you'll fall into the illusion and never recover!" Zhang Youde's voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Chen looked back happily and found Zhang Youde standing behind him with a sword, and the blood on the tip of the sword was falling drop by drop.
"All those who oppose the Black Wind Mountain must die!" the innkeeper howled again, only this time his voice was completely devoid of the emotion that a normal person should have.
"Really, I don't think so, who else can you scare with such a little trick?" Zhang Youde was unmoved, looking unusually calm.
The hotel owner pounced again, Xu Chen was about to give another sword, Zhang Youde immediately shouted: "Hold your breath, stand still!"
As soon as the words fell, he jumped up like a goshawk, but the target of the attack was not the hotel owner, but above the roof!
With a "boom", a large hole was pierced in the roof, the bricks and stones fell one after another, and the body of the hotel owner also fell at the same moment, filled with dust and smoke, and the vision was blurred.
Night finally fell, and the entire hotel quickly fell into a dead silence, and darkness descended wantonly, opening its mouth to swallow everything.
"Poof", "Poof", "Poof"......
The slight sound continued to sound, and all the wall lamps hanging on the wall seemed to be lit by invisible ghost hands, and the hotel instantly lit up as day.
The owner of the hotel was gone, and the corpses of the heroes were lying on the ground, and black blood was like ink flowing from the seven orifices on their faces.
"Brute, you come out for me, the master is going to kill you!" Seeing such a tragic scene, Xu Chen could no longer control the grief in his heart, and screamed wildly.
"Don't be impulsive, or we'll be the next to die. Zhang Youde watched all directions and listened to all directions, and he said to Xu Chen in a deep voice: "I broke his illusion, and this guy is about to appear." ”
"Illusion?" Xu Chen was stunned, he still didn't know anything about the secret hidden in the strange scene that appeared just now.
Zhang Youde's nose moved, then he took a long breath and said with relief: "Now I can breathe freely." ”
After a pause, he said again: "Senior nephew, you are quite shrewd, you actually detected that the enemy was poisoning, so you controlled your breathing in advance. ”
He didn't know that Xu Chen was invincible to all poisons, and thought that he had taken precautions in advance like himself.
"Uncle Shi, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?" Xu Chen looked at Zhang Youde with a confused expression, and involuntarily grabbed the back of his head.
"Hahahaha, sure enough, Zhang Youde, who chases the wind with a sword, can actually see through my clever plan. ”
Outside the house, a strange laughter suddenly burst into the sky, and Zhang Youde raised his sword and struck towards the place where the sound came from, which suddenly made the piercing laughter stop abruptly.
After a brief silence, there was a stray of footsteps outside the door, followed by dozens of figures, including the hotel owner and a few of his men, all dressed in demon clothes.
Xu Chen's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see that the hotel owner's hands and feet were intact, and there was not a single wound on his body, which couldn't help but make him cry out: "Why don't you have anything at all?"
"Hehe, because I'm a true god, how could I be hurt by a mortal. ”
Zhang Youde smiled coldly and said, "Do you still want to pretend to be a ghost? It's just a mere illusion, you can hide it from Master Xu's nephew who is not deeply involved in the world, but you can't hide it from my discerning eyes." ”
As soon as Zhang Youde's words were finished, the hotel owner's face was as white as snow.
"Uncle Shi, you said I fell for the illusion?" Xu Chen's cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and he looked at everything in front of him in surprise.
Zhang Youde sneered and said, "In the far Western Regions, there is a strange flower growing in Tianzhu, the birthplace of the Buddha, called a mandala. I've heard people say that poison made from its petals can not only cause hallucinations, but also be very toxic, so I guess this is the kind of incense you just used, right?"
"I didn't expect you to not only have profound mana, but also very knowledgeable. Although the hotel owner did not answer Zhang Youde's question positively, he obviously acquiesced.
"Misty incense?" Xu Chen suddenly remembered that he seemed to smell a very faint fragrance before fighting with the hotel owner, and at this moment he woke up, it turned out that this old thing was secretly poisoning!
The old creature was so vicious that he swung his sword at the innkeeper in a roar, vowing to avenge the death of his friends!
Before the sword condensed by the true qi touched the hotel owner's body, he floated away like a ghost, avoiding Xu Chen's attack.
Xu Chen wanted to attack again, but Zhang Youde once again stopped his actions and reminded him not to act rashly.
The hotel owner snorted coldly in his nose and said, "With a small role like you, you also want to fight with the uncle, it's just beyond your strength." ”
Before Xu Chen could reply, Zhang Youde had already responded with a sneer: "I want to remind you that the pangolin leopard died at the hands of my nephew." ”
"You're talking nonsense!" The hotel owner certainly wouldn't believe that his brother would die at the hands of a nameless boy.
