Chapter 14: Cults
The gray-clothed old man flipped his right hand, grabbed the bone dagger with his backhand, and stabbed it out. Unexpectedly, the bone dagger was not stabbed at Huangfu Shaoqi or the galloping sword qi storm, but stabbed at the chest of the gray-clothed old man himself.
Huangfu Shaoqi's face once again showed a look of surprise, the tricks of this gray-clothed old man were indeed strange everywhere, and he was moved again and again. If it is said that this kind of compromised skill stimulates his own potential and doubles the strength of the martial artist, Fu Shaoqi has also seen a lot, but the gray-clothed old man seems to be using his own essence and blood as a guide to forcibly open the power of the bone blade.
The whole bone dagger was sunk into the chest, almost coming out of the chest, and the blood flowed down the hilt like a stream, but not a drop fell. The bone dagger inserted in the chest of the gray-clothed old man was like a bottomless black hole, and all the red blood at the wound was sucked into by the whale, and the whole bone dagger looked very weird, with a trace of blood red in the miserable white.
In the blink of an eye, the bone dagger no longer had a trace of whiteness, and its body was full of bewitching blood red. As the blood-red light on the bone dagger became more and more intense, the body of the gray-clothed old man quickly dried up, and suddenly it seemed to have experienced years of ruthless tempering, and instantly turned into an old man who had experienced all kinds of wind and frost in the world, and was about to enter the ground with one foot, and would turn into dust and leave at any time.
When the sword qi storm strangled down, the gray-clothed old man had dried up to the point that only a layer of wrinkled skin was tightly attached to the bones, and his whole body seemed to shrink into the gray cloak, which was originally a very fitting gray-clothed cloak, at this time, the gray-clothed cloak seemed so wide, and the width could almost accommodate two or three gray-clothed old men at the same time.
The gray-clothed old man clenched the dry right hand of the bone dagger, and with a sudden force, pulled out the bone dagger that emitted demonic blood light. Holding his hands steadily, the corners of his mouth pulled out an extremely exaggerated arc, and his feet moved, facing the sword qi storm and counterattacking.
rumble
Immediately, the bone dagger covered with demonic blood light collided fiercely with the sword qi storm that was coming with the power of thunder. The demonic blood red and the dazzling golden light did not give in, and they could not hold each other, and then they exploded, and a strong air flow spread out, swinging up puffs of dust, and the trees around the place where the air flow was visible to the naked eye were all broken off by the waist. The void violently shook and shone brightly, and there was even a noticeable spatial distortion at the junction of the two, making it impossible to see the outcome of the battle.
Huangfu Shaoqi's eyes narrowed slightly, staring closely at the center of the explosion, as if he wanted to see through the barrier between dust and light. I don't know if he really saw something, but I saw that the corners of his mouth rose slightly, hooking a slight arc, as if he was disdainful, and it seemed to be sarcastic, which was unpredictable.
Before the dust and mist dissipated, a gray figure burst out from the place of the explosion and shot towards Huangfu Shaoqi. This gray figure was the old man in gray, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were bloodshot, his facial features were twisted into a ball on his face, and his face was indescribably hideous.
Facing the gray-clothed old man who gave up his life, Huangfu Shaoqi still had that light and breezy appearance, not salty and light, as if what was coming was not the so-called earth-shattering blow, but a gentle slap.
"Go die!" In an instant, the gray-clothed old man came to Huangfu Shaoqi's face, his face was hideous, like crazy, and the demonic bone dagger pierced straight into Huangfu Shaoqi's chest, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha...... Even if I die, you will bury me ......."
"Really?" Just as the old man in gray fell into a frenzy and shouted loudly, a faint voice came from behind the old man in gray.
When the gray-clothed old man heard this, his already round eyes opened up a little again, and the two eyeballs seemed to be about to break free from the shackles of their eye sockets at any time and burst out, his face was full of horror and disbelief, and he shouted in a lost voice: "Impossible...... No way...... You're right in front of me......"
The old man in gray shook his head frantically and whispered to himself, only halfway through his words, he suddenly lost his voice, like a croaking duck suddenly being pulled by the neck and stopped abruptly. It turned out that he suddenly found that Huangfu Shaoqi, who was stabbed in the chest by him in front of him, was expressionless, and then slowly faded away and disappeared.
"Afterimage?" This was the first thought that came to the mind of the gray-clothed old man, and he immediately reacted, turned around, and looked for the voice just now.
Phew
The gray-clothed old man had just turned around, and before he could take a closer look, a red-golden sword qi shot out, fast and fast, and before he could react, the right hand holding the bone dagger had already left his body and fell to the ground.
Huangfu Shaoqi was so unforgiving, he didn't wait for the old man in gray to cry out in pain, and the whole person turned into a ray of light and swept towards the old man in gray. In the blink of an eye, he came to the front of the gray-clothed old man, and he held a pale red long sword in his right hand at some point, and stretched forward with his left hand, pinching the gray-clothed old man who was still stunned.
"Tell me who you are. Huangfu Shaoqi stared at the gray-clothed old man tightly, flipped his right hand, put away the pale red long sword, and then moved his hand, pointing at the gray-clothed old man's body, sealing the spiritual power of his whole body, and said lightly.
Just as Huangfu Shaoqi had just finished the battle with the old man in gray, Chu Yunfan and the others finally rushed over. Before, the gray-clothed old man fled away after missing a hit, and when Huangfu Shaoqi got up and chased after him, Chu Yunfan and the others also chased after him. But after all, the difference in strength between Chu Yunfan and the others and Huangfu Shaoqi and the gray-clothed old man is too great, if they hadn't come all the way, the road was open, and Huangfu Shaoqi deliberately left a mark, with their strength, I am afraid that the two of them would be lost in an instant.
After Chu Yunfan saw Huangfu Shaoqi holding the gray-clothed old man in his left hand from a distance, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fourth Senior Brother, are you okay?"
"Little junior brother, don't worry, he can't threaten me yet. Huangfu Shaoqi turned his head, smiled, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said to Chu Yunfan, his tone was full of confidence and happiness.
Huangfu Shaoqi is a martial artist at the peak of feathering, even in the same realm, he is also the leader of the group, and he is a figure standing at the top of the pyramid. Mo said that this gray-clothed old man was only the strength of the early stage of feathering, even if he was also a martial artist at the peak of feathering, it was difficult to pose a substantial threat to him.
What made Huangfu Shaoqi very happy and relieved was that Chu Yunfan would talk about himself first, and it seemed that he was indeed not wrong this time.
"By the way, senior brother, who is this old man?" Chu Yunfan turned his head to look at the gray-clothed old man and asked Huangfu Shaoqi.
"Yes, Senior Brother Huangfu, I don't know who this gray-clothed old man is?" Yuan Jie also walked up and asked. Originally, he just called Huangfu Shaoqi a Taoist brother, but at this time he had changed his words. Joke, the person in front of him can easily clean up such a strong person as the old man in gray, and he is already very lucky to be able to call a senior brother and his peers. Of course, he didn't judge the seniority from Chu Yunfan, but each of them.
"I just caught him, and I'm questioning. Huangfu Shaoqi's mood did not fluctuate because of Yuan Jie's name for himself, he looked directly at the old man in gray again, and said lightly: "Say, who are you? Say it, I'll let you die happily." ”
"Hehe....... hehe...... Don't you want to get anything out of my mouth, just kill me. The gray-clothed old man finally woke up from the shock, he had already come up with a life-saving stunt, and even did not hesitate to use his own essence and blood as a guide, wanting to use the power of the bone dagger to die with Huangfu Shaoqi. However, the cruel reality hit him deeply again, and even so, he still lost to Huangfu Shaoqi, and he was defeated so completely. Now that he has already sacrificed his life to the bone dagger, even if Huangfu Shaoqi doesn't kill him, he won't be able to last long.
"Really, I want your mouth to be hard all the time. Huangfu Shaoqi's face did not fluctuate for a moment, as if he had already guessed that this would be the answer, and said to himself. With a movement of his right hand, his index finger and middle finger stood side by side, and he quickly struck out and pointed at the gray-clothed old man's dantian, and the golden sword qi was directly infiltrated into the gray-clothed old man's body through the skin. Then his left hand was released, and the old man in gray fell directly to the ground.
As soon as the gray-clothed old man landed, his face immediately became distorted, his face was full of pain, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his whole body curled together, twitched slightly, and let out a muffled snort. At this time, the gray-clothed old man was experiencing the feeling of colic, and Huangfu Shaoqi's sword qi was scurrying around in the gray-clothed old man's body, and the pain from the inside out was constantly challenging the bottom line he could bear.
After a while, there was no trace of blood on the face of the old man in gray, and he rolled desperately on the ground, screaming again and again. After a long while, after the sword qi in his body dissipated, he stopped, gasping for breath.
"Tell me, what kind of person are you? You know that your spiritual power is now sealed by me, with your martial arts physique, even if you want to kill yourself, it is not so easy, if you don't say it, I will let you taste the pain a few more times. Before the gray-clothed old man could recover his strength, Huangfu Shaoqi said lightly again: "Actually, if you don't say it, I know that you are a member of the cult." ”。
"What, you know?" The old man in gray paused, and immediately reacted, grinned, showed two rows of yellow teeth, and said: "I think you guessed, if you know, do you need to ask me anything? That's right, the old man is indeed a member of the cult." ”
"It's actually a person in the evil way, no wonder the means are so weird. Yuan Jie suddenly realized when he heard this.
"Evil Dao?" Only Chu Yunfan had no concept of the so-called cult and was completely unfamiliar with it.
"Little junior brother, about the cult, I will talk to you in detail after I finish asking later. "Huangfu Shaoqi knew that Chu Yunfan had just entered the world of martial artists, and he didn't even know anything about some things that everyone thought were common-sense.
"What? You haven't even heard of the evil way?" The gray-clothed old man said sharply, how many martial artists on the Kyushu Continent don't know about the cult? Moreover, this person is still a disciple of a major sect.
"Do you know that you don't have to worry about it, you tell me who you are? Which sect is in the evil way, and what kind of conspiracy is there?" Huangfu Shaoqi interrupted the surprise of the gray-clothed old man, and asked repeatedly.
"Hey...... You've asked so many questions at once, which one do you think I should answer first?" said the old man in gray as he stood up on the ground and laughed twice. He had sacrificed his life to the bone dagger that had fallen not far away, and he could only live for an hour, and now there was not much time left, so he wanted to delay the time and wait for the backlash after the sacrifice.
"You answer honestly from the first question, don't be sloppy with me, otherwise...... Hmph...... "For the old man in gray's inner thoughts, Huangfu Shaoqi can still guess a thing or two, the old man in gray deliberately spoke like this, just to delay time." Although I don't know that the old man in gray doesn't have much time left, and the reason for delaying time is to wait for the backlash so as to escape the torture of Huangfu Shaoqi, as long as he answers honestly, there will be nothing wrong with it.
"Well, I'm dying anyway, so what's the point of saying that you know. Seeing this, the old man in gray didn't continue to delay, anyway, he was a dying person, so what could he not let go. "The old man is a disciple of the Holy Evil Sect, as for the conspiracy...... Haha, what is the conspiracy or not of a conspiracy for a person in my cult to kill a few people. ”
Chu Yunfan and the others looked very ugly when they heard this, their eyes were full of anger, and they stared at the old man in gray deadly. The gray-clothed old man ignored everyone and continued: "The old man slaughtered these villages just to lure your Zixiao Sect's disciples to come, seeing that they were still there, it's a pity that the Zixiao Sect only sent such a weak disciple to come. But what I never expected was that there was a strong person like you in the dark to protect me, and I can only blame my bad luck. Of course, all of this was just to let the bone dagger absorb some more blood and spiritual power of the strong, so that it could regain its original power. ”
After the old man finished speaking, his gaze moved to the bone dagger that fell not far away, and his eyes were very complicated.
Huangfu Shaoqi stretched out his left hand to the bone dagger, and with a slight force through the void, the bone dagger flew into his palm with a search. He rubbed the bone dagger slightly, his face did not show much joy, and said lightly: "It is indeed a good spiritual weapon, but it is a pity that it is too demonic." ”
The words fell, and the left hand holding the bone dagger drew a smooth arc in the air, and in an instant, the head of the gray-clothed old man fell to the ground, blood spurted wildly from his neck, and his body fell to the ground with a bang.
Just when Chu Yunfan and the others were still not reacting, Huangfu Shaoqi's left hand was raised lightly again, but he threw the bone dagger at Chu Yunfan, and said lightly: "Okay, let's go back to the sect after resting." ”
Looking at the bone dagger thrown at him, Chu Yunfan instinctively stretched out his right hand to catch it, and said in a daze: "Senior brother, who are you?"
"I heard that the second senior sister and the little junior sister have given you a meeting gift, the fourth senior brother is not as rich as them, this time I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, this bone dagger is my gift to you. Huangfu Shaoqi smiled slightly and said: "This bone dagger is a bit extraordinary, but it is too weird, you have to use it carefully." ”
"Senior brother, this is too precious, you better take it back. Under the envious eyes of everyone, Chu Yunfan seemed a little at a loss, and hurriedly excused himself.
"If you want to accept it, you will accept it, and if you refrain like this, you won't treat me as a senior brother. Huangfu Shaoqi waved his hand and spoke, his tone was unquestionable.
"Then the junior brother thanked the senior brother. Chu Yunfan saw that the excuse was useless, and he was no longer hypocritical, so he simply accepted it generously, and waited for him to have the opportunity to repay the fourth senior brother's affection one day.
"By the way, Fourth Senior Brother, what exactly is a cult, haven't you told me yet?" After putting away the bone dagger, Chu Yunfan remembered the origin of the gray-clothed old man, and asked suspiciously.
"Let's find a place to rest first, and I'll tell you about it. By the way, I will tell you about the distribution of some sectarian forces on the Kyushu continent. ”
It turns out that although there are many sects on the Kyushu continent, these sects are not only divided into righteous and demonic paths, but also evil ways and loose cultivation. The so-called Kyushu refers to Zhongzhou, Huangzhou, Lizhou, Qingzhou, Fengzhou, Manzhou, Mozhou, Leizhou and Haizhou. Each state has its own territory divided by the human race and the demon race, and the two sides have gotten along fairly well for thousands of years, but now the two sides are ready to move again.
In Kyushu, except for Wasteland and Haizhou, the human race is dominated by the Righteous Path Sect, and Wasteland is where the Heavenly Demon Sect is located, and no one else is allowed to get involved. Haizhou is also a special existence, it is not connected with the other eight states, but far away from the other eight states, independent of the boundless sea.
Haizhou is a paradise of scattered cultivation, gathering countless scattered cultivators, but it does not mean that there are no sects in Haizhou, the largest and strongest sect in Haizhou is the Three Immortals League. The Three Immortals Alliance was originally an alliance that was called on by three powerful cultivators to bring them together. It doesn't have too many restrictions on the casual practices that join it, and it's a free casual cultivation alliance.
And the people in the evil path are hidden in all corners of Kyushu, they act obediently, there is no bottom line, and they are more ferocious than the people in the demon way. is not the same as the Demon Cult, the people in the cult are all hidden, and in the Kyushu Continent, everyone basically shouts and fights. Even the people in the Demon Dao are very disgusted with the cultists and disdain to be in the company of them.
