Chapter 8 Always hovering between life and death
Zhang Xiaohu joined the cult and seemed to have saved his life temporarily.
And whether Hongtian can save his life is still unknown.
After being imprisoned for so many days, the old village chief and Hongtian also knew that the cult had arrested them in order to use them for a blood sacrifice at noon on 15 March to welcome the evil clan back to the human realm.
After arresting all the people of the hunting team in the small mountain village, the cult arrested four or five hundred people one after another, and they were all locked up with the old village chief and Hongtian.
Most of these people who were arrested by the cult were villagers living on the edge of the mountain, and the highest cultivation was only innate, and there were even many ordinary people who had not cultivated.
March 15th.
The Day of the Blood Sacrifice.
The day when the evil clan returned to the human realm.
Early in the morning of March 15, the sacrifices of the old village chief and Hongtian were driven into a valley and brought to a huge altar under the coercion of many cultists.
As soon as the old village chief and Hongtian stepped on the altar, they were completely imprisoned on the altar.
Pigs and sheep have become slaughtered by others
At this time, the valley and the outside were already full of masked people wearing white clothes decorated with colorful phoenix patterns.
A huge altar several hundred meters in size stands in the middle of the valley.
The altar is surrounded by flags decorated with colorful phoenixes, and the perimeter of the altar is also decorated with colorful phoenixes, and the colorful phoenix patterns on the altar are also covered with ravines.
Hongtian, these sacrifices are on it.
A quarter past noon, the time of the blood sacrifice.
Suddenly the sky was overcast, and a strong wind blew in the valley.
Numerous cultists knelt down, muttering words and praying to the heavens.
Suddenly, puffs of smoke came out of the altar, completely enveloping the sacrifices of the old village chief and Hongtian who were trapped on the altar.
Flying in the air, the people in colorful phoenix clothes all took out a dagger, slashed their cheeks, and let the blood drip on the altar.
Hongtian, who was already a little desperate, suddenly felt that the true qi in his dantian was involuntarily surging, and the true qi in the meridians was also running rapidly...... The true qi in the meridians frantically surged towards the dantian, and the true qi in the dantian rushed towards the meridians, and under the collision of the two, Hongtian felt that his dantian was about to explode, and the meridians were about to be torn, and the whole body seemed to begin to expand......
Turning his head with difficulty, Hongtian found that all the people around him were also extremely painful, constantly wailing loudly, begging for mercy, and struggling......
But none of this is useful, they are now all imprisoned on the altar, their fate has been sealed, they are all sacrifices, they are all sacrifices to accept the return of the evil race to the human realm......
After a while, the bodies of ordinary people who had not cultivated had even exploded, and the minced flesh flew all over the altar, and the sky above the altar was also full of blood mist.
People with low cultivation also oozed blood all over their bodies, and some parts also began to explode......
The old village chief and the rest of the small mountain village also looked particularly painful, but they were still trying to hold on......
The blood on the altar was already flowing like a stream in the original ravine......
Blood flowed through the colorful phoenix on the altar, and the colorful phoenix was lit up, and the lit colorful phoenix seemed to be alive, as if it was about to put its neck and sing high, spreading its wings and wanting to fly......
One by one, the colored phoenixes were lit up by the blood of the sacrifices, and in the end, most of the colored phoenixes on the altar were lit up by the blood.
Most of the sacrifices on the altar were also covered in blood and dying......
At this time, the space above the altar suddenly cracked a small opening, and slowly the small opening in the air became larger and larger......
In less than a quarter of an hour, the small opening in the air was more than ten meters wide, and through the crack in the air, you could clearly see that there were people behind the crack who were constantly moving.
Hongtian was running the "Heavenly Heart Formula" quickly, trying hard to suppress the true qi in his body, but no matter how hard he tried, the true qi in his body was still boiling, constantly colliding, and the meridians began to tear out small holes......
Suddenly, the meridians on Hongtian's right leg suddenly exploded, and a cloud of blood mist rushed out......
Hongtian felt that the true qi in his body was about to completely lose control, and his body seemed to have doubled in size, and it was about to explode......
The blood mist on the altar became thicker and thicker, and the colorful phoenix was lit up more and more...... The cracks in the space above the altar are getting bigger and bigger......
The person behind the crack is about to come out through the opening......
Seeing this, all the cultists in the valley went crazy about it, and the cultists' prayers became louder.
The man in the rainbow phoenix roof sitting over the altar not only prayed loudly, but even pierced his heart with a dagger, allowing his blood to gush out of the dagger......
Just when Hongtian couldn't control the true qi flowing backwards, his whole body was about to explode, and the person behind the spatial crack was about to walk out of the crack, a fist slammed into the spatial crack above the altar from dozens of miles away......
"Bold, dare to do forbidden things, kill them all......" The deafening roar came from afar.
A large group of masters flew quickly from outside the valley, and the colorful phoenix clothed man above the altar also greeted him, and the two sides fought together......
At this time, the person behind the spatial crack was also smashed back by that ferocious punch, and the spatial crack was also completely smashed.
The altar was completely shattered, but there was not one person left on the altar.
Fortunately, although Hongtian and the old village chief and others were also seriously injured, they were all still alive.
The sound of the duel between the air masters in the distance kept coming, and people were constantly being beaten and fell from the sky, and the corpses in the valley were constantly increasing.
Although there are many cultists in the valley, the most of them are ordinary cultists who have cultivated mediocre, and when the government masters raided, the ordinary cultists were suddenly in chaos, and they suffered heavy casualties.
After Hongtian was able to move freely, he also followed the old village chief to kill the many cultists.
The first opponent Hongtian encountered was a cult mid-level martial artist armed with a broadsword.
This is the first real life-and-death struggle after Hongtian crossed over.
Facing a tough opponent, Hongtian waved the long sword in his hand and rushed over bravely, stabbing the opponent's throat with all his might.
This sword was picked up by him from the fallen cultists at the beginning of the battle.
The other party saw that Hongtian's sword was powerful, and he didn't dare to be careless, and the big knife in his hand pulled out a ball of sword flowers, easily blocking Hongtian's long sword outside.
And Hongtian is still desperate, full firepower, and goes all out to advance the enemy.
The sword momentum is fast and urgent, as fast as thunder, the sword does not leave the opponent's vital point, and he can't wait to immediately cut the opponent under the sword.
The enemy is a veteran with a lot of fighting experience, and he has already seen that Hongtian is a rookie in combat, and he does not collide with Hongtian, but uses footwork to move quickly, and also dances the big knife in his hand impenetrably, and resolves Hongtian's fierce offensive one by one.
The two fought for a while, and Hongtian felt that his true qi was a little unsustainable, and his footwork was not as flexible as it was at the beginning.
Seeing that he couldn't kill the other party for a long time, Hongtian couldn't help but regret a little, he was too inexperienced in fighting, but now he had to continue and continue to attack.
Danger always comes suddenly.
When Hongtian was still attacking the opponent with all his strength, and another sword stabbed at the opponent's throat, the opponent no longer dodged backwards like the original, but met him head-on, and when Hongtian's move was old, he suddenly swung his knife and slammed the long sword in Hongtian's hand......
Hongtian was caught off guard, the swords intersected, the sword had left his hand, and as soon as the opponent's hand turned, the big knife slashed towards Hongtian's waist again......
The pain in his heart came from his waist, but the other party's big knife slashed at his neck again......
At this moment, the old village chief ignored the threat of his opponent, rushed over with all his strength, and pierced Hongtian's opponent's chest with a single sword.
The old village chief is a congenital master, and it is naturally easy to kill an intermediate martial artist.
But the old village chief's original opponent did not let go of the opportunity, when the old village chief rescued Hongtian, his back showed a huge gap, and the old village chief was knocked out of more than a dozen steps with one palm, and then pounced......
The old village chief barely dodged the other party's attack, and then rushed to Hongtian quickly, lifted him, and flew into the distance......
The cult's innate masters were in hot pursuit, and another masked man flew up in front of him and stopped in front of the old village chief.
......
At this time, a bearded man appeared, and the old village chief obviously knew this bearded man, and hurriedly shouted: "Teacher Zhang......"
Teacher Zhang also nodded to him.
With the help of Teacher Zhang, Hongtian and the old village chief finally broke out of the encirclement of the cultists.
In a small cave, Hongtian helped the old village chief to the edge of the cave and lay down.
After a day of fighting, I don't know how many people were killed, I don't know how many injuries I suffered, and how much blood I shed, the old village chief and Hongtian finally fought their way out of the cultists, rushed out of the valley, and after several twists and turns, they found this small cave where they could temporarily live.
By the time they arrived in the small cave, the old village chief was exhausted and fell into a coma.
Looking at the old village chief who was dying and had fallen into a coma, Hongtian was completely panicked, he didn't know what he should do for the old village chief now, and he was completely at a loss.
The life experience of more than 30 years in the previous life and a few months in the present life is completely useless.
There was no healing elixir at all, and there was no food.
The only thing that worked was a long sword by his side.
Deep in the mountains, hundreds of miles away from the mountains, Hongtian's personal cultivation alone can't break out at all.
This is also a very dangerous place for innate martial artists, not to mention that he is only an intermediate martial artist, and he has to carry the seriously injured old village chief, so he can't throw the old village chief here and wait for death.
This is a desperate situation, the first desperate situation that Hongtian faces in his life.
After thinking about it, Hongtian still decided to put down the old village chief for the time being, and go out to find some food by himself, after all, he tore up for a day, ran wildly for a day, and if he didn't replenish some energy, he was afraid that he would also fall.
Go out, hunt a beast, drag it back, you can use it as food, maybe you can find a little healing herb along the way, and there are many wounds on your body, and your old village chief needs to heal.
Elixir, elixir now Hongtian doesn't dare to think about it at all, although the elixir is good, but there are always powerful demon beasts near the elixir, demon beasts, Hongtian is injured, and now he doesn't dare to provoke at all.
As for the herbs I don't know, it doesn't matter, isn't there a Shenlong system in my body, when fighting, the little rabbit can't help me, don't you even know the simplest herbs?
You can't do such a simple thing, isn't the Shenlong system too rubbish, it's better to uninstall it.
Hongtian picked up his long sword and walked out of the cave, and cut some branches to cover the entrance of the small cave where the old village chief was temporarily sheltering.
When he first entered the mountain, Hongtian felt that the scenery in the mountain was extremely magnificent, but now he felt that he couldn't see through the same mountain
Everywhere there are man-eating traps.
Hongtian cautiously groped his way forward, trying to avoid the area where the demon beast was active.
His target is a beast, not a monster.
Wounded and exhausted, even the lowest demon beast would now inflict fatal damage on him.
"Well, masked people, cultists, how can there be cultists here......"
Just as Hongtian was hiding behind a rock, staring at a wild deer, and was about to make a move, he saw two masked men approaching.
Hongtian hurriedly shrank down, now he can't be discovered by the cultists, let alone do anything with people.
Hongtian stared at the two passing cultists, and after a while, another large group of cultists appeared.
Well, how could that demon girl Mu Feng also be in this group of cultists, how could Zhang Xiaohu, the bastard, also be there, and he didn't die?
Hongtian shrank down again, but he couldn't let the demon girl see it, and the demon girl saw him, and she couldn't eat him.
After the demon girl walked away with the masked man, Hongcai dared to get up and quickly retreated.
Carrying the wild deer that he had hit on the road, he returned to the small cave where the old village chief lived, and saw that the old village chief was still lying on the ground safe and sound, and Hongtian was relieved.
