Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dark Spirit Dispatches III
Instead, the officer himself was bounced off by a huge reaction force, and his whole body flew upside down to the other side. His hammer slammed into the man in black's head, with an unusually muffled thud, like a heap of cotton. The two corpses broke away from the black-clad man's claws and fell straight down the valley. On each of their chests, there was a huge wound the size of a bowl, and the entire upper half of their bodies was stained blood-red with blood.
A second cracking sound sounded. The four spirit masters broke free from the spiritual power net. Their injuries were more serious than those of the previous three spirit masters, and their bodies were completely covered in a faint black aura, and the exposed skin was constantly oozing bright red blood beads. The spiritual power fluctuations released from their bodies had become unstable and even began to be disordered. Without hesitation, they forcibly burst out their spiritual power, rushing towards the lower right corner of the pentagram from four directions.
The moment they rushed out, the entire spiritual power net suddenly tightened, and the volume immediately doubled, but the thickness more than doubled. The spiritual power pillar on the mountain road also began to shrink, and there was no trace of struggle from the outside. Whether it was the spiritual power network or the spiritual power pillar, the screams in it began to get lower and weaker little by little, becoming more and more powerless, like the moaning of an old man.
A man in black standing on the mountain road and a man in black in the lower right corner of the five-pointed star circle attacked at the same time. The two of them unleashed their martial spirits at the same time. The martial spirit of one of them is a long spear with a pitch-black body and only the tip of the spear emitting a white cold light, and the martial spirit of the other person is a portable lamp, divided into two layers inside and outside, the outer layer is a pitch-black skeleton, and the inner layer is dark blue, releasing a blue faint light, and each skeleton has a white Sensen's grimace pattern.
"Poof!
The spear man in black is also very fast, not much slower than the man in claw black. In just a few breaths, his spear pierced the chests of two spirit masters one after another.
The man in black with the lamp held the crank in his hand, shook it a few times, and recited a spell. Two blue-and-black grimaces flew out from either side of the lantern, rapidly growing in size, becoming as large as a human body, hitting the bodies of the other two spirit masters. Both of them froze at the same time, their bodies turning dark blue, and their bodies shook violently twice, and then fell down the valley.
The clawed man in black lunged forward again, rushing towards the officer who was rolling backwards in the air, and swung his claw at the officer's right hand. The Warhammer Martial Spirit was directly cut open, shattered into several pieces, and dissipated into the night sky. In the next second, another claw pierced his heart with unmistakable accuracy.
"Hmm......"
The officer spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down the valley. Even to death, his eyes were not closed. The last picture he saw was that all his other comrades-in-arms were wiped out by the huge spiritual power net.
The seven men in black all stopped their movements and suspended in mid-air. The five-pointed star-shaped circle also naturally dissipated. A strange yellow glow flashed in both of their eyes, which looked like the glow of some kind of glowing ore.
The clawed man in black turned his head and waved at the man in black with the spear in hand. It seems that he should be the commander of this operation.
The man in black with the spear quickly landed down the mountain road and checked all the goods on the wagon. He didn't open the boxes, but tapped his fingers on them one after the other. The frequency and rhythm of each stroke is the same.
The spiritual power network in the air and the spiritual power pillar on the mountain road spread out at the same time. Dozens of human face-like objects wrapped in yellow and gray air masses flew towards their bodies from all directions, merging into them one by one. Several more intense currents came up from below the valley. It was the resentment of all the soldiers and staff who were killed.
After two minutes, all the wraiths were absorbed. The man in black with the spear and the man in black who had been stopping on the mountain road opened his hands at the same time, each releasing a wave of purple-black spiritual power. These two spiritual power fluctuations firmly wrapped several carriages from two directions, pulled out all the iron boxes, and then swallowed them in one bite like a beast preying on its prey.
The clawed man in black made another gesture. Two spiritual power fluctuations were withdrawn into the bodies of the two men in black. Seven men in black took off into the air at the same time, lined up in a line, and flew west.
West of the town of Gulo. Houcai Town. Outskirts.
In a dense forest, there is only one road that is not very big. It was a dirt road that could only accommodate a relatively large horse-drawn carriage. The road was flat, there were no stones, and there were no big potholes. Flanked by two rows of tall trees, rustling and rustling in the night as the wind blows, obscuring the sounds of all the nocturnal creatures in the forest.
At the end of this dense forest, there is a relatively large courtyard. The courtyard looks old, surrounded by stone walls, with only a large gate facing due south. There are lanterns every five meters on the stone wall, and two large red lanterns hang on either side of the plaque above the gate. On the plaque are three large characters: Shangde School.
It's a small sect. Under the two lanterns on the left and right sides of the gate, two disciples stood guarding the door. The two disciples were both male, both looked to be in their twenties, short and stocky, with flat hair, wearing thick short clothes, hands clenched into fists, feet open, eyes like eagles, scanning the dense forest ahead.
"Huh?"
The gatekeeper on the left rubbed his eyes. He suddenly saw a yellow point of light flickering in the woods. After less than two seconds, the point of light flickered again and doubled in size.
"What's wrong?" asked the gatekeeper on the other side.
"There seems to be something. You wait here, I'll take a look. β
The disciple walked slowly forward. His pace was steady, and he barely made a sound when he stepped on the ground. Two waves of spiritual power rippled across his arms, condensing into two dark brown fists.
He walked forward step by step, took five steps, and suddenly stopped.
The yellow point of light suddenly flickered violently twice, and then rushed towards itself. When it burst out of the forest, he saw that it was not a single point of light, but twoβthe eyes of a man wrapped in a black robe and wearing a black mask on his face, to be exact.
In just an instant, a black ray mixed with yellow lines shot out from the black-clothed man's fingertips and pierced through the disciple's chest.
With a "poof", the corpse fell to the ground with a bang.
"Enemy attack!"
The other disciple immediately shouted at the top of his throat, raised his hands, pushed the door open on one side, turned around and ran towards the door.
The next second, another identical beam shot through his chest. He was bleeding from his mouth and nose at the same time, and he fell straight to the threshold.
Six pairs of light points flashed at the same time from all six directions of the forest. Six identical men in black rushed out from six different directions in the forest, enclosing the entire courtyard.
Then, a vague figure stepped out of the forest. Not on the ground, but in the air. The figure radiated a dark blue and yellow glow, and it could not see its face, only its body. In terms of size, he was about the same as several other men in black.
"Attack. His voice was very low, almost completely muffled by the sound of the wind and the brushing of leaves.
The lights in the two rows of small houses in the middle of the courtyard came on one after the other. Dozens of disciples lined up in two lines and ran out of the two rows of dormitories in an orderly manner. These disciples were basically dressed like the two disciples who had been killed, and they were all wearing exactly the same short clothes. All of them are male disciples. Each person's body is surrounded by two spirit circles, which are different colors, mainly earthy yellow or maroon of the earth attribute and red of the fire attribute. Their martial spirits are mainly various fist gauntlets and claw thorns, and there are also several disciples who hold different long sticks in their hands.
Seven men in black jumped up at the same time, leaping into the courtyard from seven directions. The man in black who faced the gate rushed directly through the gate. At the same time, they unleashed martial spirits, and their bodies flashed with dark blue and yellow light.
The figure suspended in mid-air took a step forward and opened its right hand. A light blue and dark purple spherical object suddenly appeared above him. It began to spin in place, releasing a square curtain of blue-purple light that enveloped the courtyard diagonally above.
Violent roars and crashes continued to emanate from the center of the courtyard. Whether it is the stone wall on the periphery of the courtyard or the various buildings inside, cracks have begun to appear one after another, and some of the slightly fragile walls have even cracked, and many small stones have fallen. Gradually, more and more screams rang out. None of the disciples forcibly broke through upwards.
After ten minutes, the screams gradually died down.
Most of the floor inside the courtyard was stained red with blood. Hundreds of tiles and stones laid in the ground were shattered, revealing large and large deep pits. The bodies of dozens of disciples fell to the ground in all directions, some with their heads cut off, some with holes in their chests, and some directly cut into two pieces by their waists.
Seven men in black formed a regular heptagon, surrounding four middle-aged men in the middle. All four were wearing long gowns and striped turbans on their heads. Three of them formed a triangular battle formation, protecting the man in the middle from three directions. The cultivation of these three people had all reached the third order, and the middle-aged man with a mustache in the middle had reached the second level of the fourth order. Their robes were red with blood, their eyes were bloodshot, and their mouths were panting heavily.
The blue and yellow figure continued to walk forward in the air, as if it were a walk, unhurried. He walked between two of the men in black and looked down at the four men in the middle.
The middle-aged man in the middle swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood with difficulty, raised his head, and stared at this seemingly real figure unwillingly.
"You...... What the hell are you...... Who?"
"Hahahaha!"
The blue and yellow figure laughed dryly. His laughter sounded weird.
"You don't need to know. β
He turned his head to face his man to his left.
"Hands-on. When you're done, take everything with you. β
