Chapter 391: Nightmare and Bell
Such a close distance, so suddenly, even with Han Chuang's reaction, he couldn't dodge. Nie Qingqing screamed in the mood for years, and at this moment, suddenly a sword qi swept by, hitting Zhang Yu's right hand holding the dagger, and with a bang, the dagger was immediately shaken away.
When everyone looked back, they saw that Lin Jiangxue, who was dressed in white like snow, was still in the posture of plucking the strings, and looked at her expression, as if nothing had happened.
Bland, excessively bland.
Han Chuang reacted instantly, his eyes were over, the tiger claw came out, and one claw clasped Zhang Yu's shoulder, only to feel a strong attack, almost uncontrollable.
Han Chuang was secretly frightened: "He's just a half-step contemplation martial artist, and there's nothing special about the martial soul, why does he have such great power?"
When I looked closely, I saw that the hideous face suddenly showed a strange smile.
"Be careful!" Nie Qingqing shouted.
Without Nie Qingqing's reminder, Han Chuang was on guard this time and turned on his ability to enter the micro, and he found that this Zhang Yu actually punched under his elbow and attacked him in the lower abdomen when he was holding his shoulder.
This punch was strong and heavy, it had surpassed Zhang Yu's ability, but it still couldn't cause much trouble to Han Chuang, so he saw Han Chuang's right hand turn into a claw, and his palm gently stroked the attacking fist, and laid down a layer of cyclone with the sword of Tai Chi Eighteen Sword Style, and the fist hit the cyclone, making a muffled sound, and the strength was weakened layer by layer.
Han Chuang was unforgiving, and immediately followed the force of the counterattack, threw out his wrist, and at the same time gathered his palms into a fist, and punched Zhang Yu in the chest.
Zhang Yu took five steps back in a row, blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, obviously injured, but he roared, as if he didn't care about the injury at all, and pounced on Han Chuang again.
Han Chuang couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "I obviously sealed his acupoint just now, why can he still move? At this moment, this heavy hand, even Shangguan Pavilion and the like will inevitably be injured, but he is like no one, could it be that this Zhang Yu is also hiding his strength?"
He subconsciously shook his head, not to mention that no one can hide his strength under his subtle ability, even if this Zhang Yu can really have such strength, there is a question mark. ”
At this moment, I heard Jin Sanfu suddenly shout: "Remove his joints!"
Han Chuang nodded and stepped forward. Although this Zhang Yu is incredibly powerful, he can only rush and punch, and there is no technique at all, Han Chuang is strong to his side, he doesn't look at it, it's just a punch.
The fist came with the sound of the wind, Han Chuang also sneered slightly, and shouted: "The pearl of rice grains, also shine?" did not change his movements, still maintained a forward posture, until the fist was in front of him, his steps changed, and he turned up, dodging the fist wind intowardly.
Then Han Chuang used the grappling method in the Five Fists and Tiger Fists of the I Ching to clasp Zhang Yu's shoulder, this time he showed no mercy to his subordinates, and directly removed his shoulder.
At this time, Zhang Yu's other fist had already swung like a hammer.
Han Chuang only felt the wind in the back of his head, and immediately lowered his body, his fist stuck in his scalp, he took advantage of the situation to press this arm against Zhang Yu's throat, and reached out with a claw in his left hand to remove this arm.
The joints of Zhang Yu's two arms were removed, and his hands hung down like low-hanging willows, shaking endlessly, but even so, he couldn't forget it, and kicked out his right leg and swept towards Han Chuang's lower body.
Han Chuang sneered slightly, took advantage of the situation to cross over his head, came to his back, and punched Zhang Yu's lumbar vertebrae with his right hand, and with a violent turn, Zhang Yu immediately fell to the ground.
This punch is not a simple punch, it is very famous, it hits the bones of the lumbar vertebrae connecting the lower limbs, and if you punch down, the bones are misplaced, and people will naturally not be able to stand.
Zhang Yu's limbs could not move, so he could only lie on the ground, and let out a howl that did not resemble a human being.
Han Chuang frowned, squatted down, reached out like lightning, and removed his jaw, this time it became very difficult for him to even happen.
Only then did everyone gather around, looking at Zhang Yu who was struggling underground, silent. After a long while, Han Chuang opened his mouth to break the silence on the scene: "What's wrong with him?"
Jin Sanfu leaned down, touched Zhang Yu's body a few times, and then said, "Help me fix his head, I want to look at his eyes." ”
Han Chuang immediately grabbed Zhang Yu's head, Zhang Yu was struggling, and he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of breaking his neck, so he could only support it, and at the same time said to Jin Sanfu: "Hurry up to see something." ”
Jin Sanfu nodded, and picked Zhang Yu's eyelids with two fingers, and there were all iris under the eyelids, and there were no traces of eyeballs. Han Chuang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it, and said, "How can this be." ”
Jin Sanfu stood up, looked around, and said worriedly: "Zhang Yu's appearance reminds me of a kind of demon beast. ”
"What monster?"
"Nightmare. ”
Jin Sanfu's expression was as serious as a stone on a high mountain.
The wind is a little cold, the breath is a little cold, the haven of the ancient city does not play a shelter effect, the wind is getting stronger, the breath is getting colder and colder, and people are getting more and more afraid.
It was the middle of the night, but no one was resting, everyone sat around the campfire, and the light of the fire reflected their faces, with expressions of sorrow, seriousness, and despair.
A state called silence lasted for a long time, during which only the whirring of the wind into a bonfire could be heard, and the flames were high and high, but people did not feel warm.
Jin Sanfu spoke: "It's already obvious, we have arrived at the territory of the nightmare, the demon beast of the ancient era has not disappeared, it has survived in this area, perhaps this is also the reason why this ancient city has become a dead city." ”
No one objected to this, and just now, when Jin Sanfu suggested that it might be a nightmare, some people didn't believe it, and they didn't have to admit it until they tried to go to the ancient city immediately, but found that no matter which direction they went, they couldn't get out of this area.
"Are we in a dream?" Wei Hongqiong suddenly asked, her voice was full of fear, which is also a portrayal of the emotions in the hearts of most people, they have never seen a nightmare, they don't know how powerful it is, but the unknown is the most frightening thing.
Even if they keep telling themselves in their hearts that no one is a big deal, it's just a demon beast, and I have killed more demon beasts, but under the control of the subconscious, the body still keeps trembling.
Wei Hongqiong's question is also what everyone wants to know, and only Jin Sanfu, who has read ancient documents, knows the monster beast of Nightmare best, and of course, this clarity is only a little more than unclear.
Just like the sky full of dark clouds, Jin Sanfu just saw one more corner than others, but it was this corner that became a lifesaver for everyone.
Under the gaze of everyone, Jin Sanfu shook his head and said softly: "A good news, a bad news, which one to listen to first?"
Nie Qingqing glanced at Jin Sanfu and said, "Let's listen to the good news first, there is so much bad news, I need a good news to be happy." ”
Jin Sanfu nodded and said: "The good news is that we are not in a dream yet, that is, this is reality." ”
"And what about the bad news?" Nie Qingqing asked again.
Jin Sanfu smiled bitterly: "The bad news is that this nightmare is at least a demon beast in the contemplation period, and its ability has reached the point where it can shine dreams into reality, and this ancient city is a dream in reality." ”
Nie Qingqing frowned and said, "I don't understand. ”
Jin Sanfu said: "I mean, it uses a dream to bind us in reality, this ancient city is the passage between dreams and reality, as long as we fall asleep, we will-"
"Will it be like Zhang Yu?" Wei Hongqiong's voice trembled.
"That's right," Jin Sanfu nodded, "I'm afraid he's already in a dream." He looked at Zhang Yu who was still in confusion with pity, and said in a low voice: "Kill him, he has become a puppet of nightmares, and it is impossible to cure him." ”
"This-" Han Chuang glanced at Zhang Yu and hesitated, "Is it necessary?
Jin Sanfu shook his head and said: "He is only in the state of first-level mutation now, if he reaches the third-level mutation, I am afraid that removing the joint will not be able to help him, you can also put a timed E-bomb by your side at any time." ”
Han Chuang nodded silently, walked in front of Zhang Yu, and slowly raised his hand.
This hand hung in the air for a long time, and finally hung down weakly, "Which of you will do it." He said.
No one blames him, in the hands of those present, who does not have a few lives, but there is no one who can really kill a person who has no ability to resist without changing his face.
Even Lotus, who is a killer, doesn't want to do it.
At this moment, I heard a female voice float in, "Since you can't make it, then I'll come." ”
Everyone followed the prestige, but it was Lin Jiangxue who was always standing outside the bonfire who spoke.
Liu Qingfu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Lin, this thing, this thing-" She was halfway through her words, but she couldn't say anything.
Lin Jiangxue stared at her indifferently, and after a while, she said, "If you don't do it, then only me will come." After speaking, he pushed Liu Qingfu away and walked to Han Chuang's side.
"Excuse me," she said, her voice full of indifferent distance.
Han Chuang almost subconsciously got out of the way, and before he could react, he saw Lin Jiangxue suddenly pull out a long sword from under Yaoqin, and the sword light flashed, and a blood mark appeared on Zhang Yu's neck.
"It's done. She said coldly, and as soon as her words fell, blood overflowed from the blood stains, first just a little, and then like a waterfall.
Han Chuang couldn't help but look at Lin Jiangxue with a frightened gaze in his eyes.
What happened to her? Why did it become like this?
No one can explain it, and everyone who is familiar with the former Lin Jiangxue thinks it is incredible.
Jin Sanfu saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay, okay, let's find a way to escape from the nightmare's control." ”
Wei Hongqiong held her chin in her hand and said in a low voice: "What can I do? I didn't try it just now, but I couldn't get out of this damn place." ”
Zhang Xiaolin, who was recovering from a serious injury, also said: "Indeed, we are not familiar with nightmares, and the methods we can think of are very limited. "Since being attacked by a desert python once, he has become honest and no longer calls himself a big brother, of course, it doesn't mean that he is really honest, he just hides this thought, and when he only waits for a chance, it will explode. ”
Jin Sanfu glanced at Chop Yuan, saw Chop Yuan ponder for a moment, and said, "I haven't seen a nightmare, and I'm not suitable for dealing with this kind of demon beast." ”
His eyes finally fell on Han Chuang, Han Chuang smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't have any good solutions, let's just say it, you are most familiar with nightmares." ”
Jin Sanfu sighed and said, "My familiarity is only based on books," after a pause, he continued: "A nightmare like this that has the ability to bring dreams into reality, the only way to escape its control is to break the dreams that shine into reality." ”
Han Chuang frowned and asked in a low voice, "How to break it?"
Jin Sanfu said: "Just like the formation, there will be some interception points in this kind of dream that shines into reality, and if we find and destroy these interception points, we can break the dream." ”
Liu Qingfu smiled and said, "It sounds very simple. ”
Jin Sanfu glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "It just sounds simple." ”
Liu Qingfu's smile disappeared and was replaced by embarrassment.
Jin Sanfu said: "This cut-off point is equivalent to the eye of the formation, and it is naturally heavily protected, although the nightmare can't directly hurt us, but there are many ways to hit us." ”
"For example?" Han Chuang said.
Jin Sanfu said: "For example, we must not sleep, once we fall asleep, we will be like Zhang Yu, and become a puppet of nightmares." After a pause, he continued: "Then the nightmare itself will have many means to lure you to sleep, some of which are impossible to prevent, and then there is the urge puppet to attack directly, and the power of the puppet You have also seen, Zhang Yu is just a half-step concentrating warrior." ”
Han Chuang nodded and said, "If you talk about strength alone, he has already exceeded half a step of concentration, but there is no technique in martial arts, so it is still very easy to deal with." ”
Jin Sanfu said: "That's the only one of him, what if it's ten?"
As soon as the words fell, two figures flashed out of the dark shadows.
These were two men, one old and one young, the old of about sixty years of age, with gray hair, and his face full of folds and old spots, and the young man was no more than sixteen years old, and his skin was as smooth as that of a woman, and both of them were expressionless, as if nothing in the world could change their color.
Although they are different in age and different in appearance, they have one thing in common - no eyes, only milky white iris.
"They are the puppets controlled by the nightmare, go quickly!" Jin Sanfu turned around and left.
But a few warriors rushed up without their strength, and before they rushed in front of a few people, they saw that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy took out a folding fan from his waist, and the fan surface shook, and there were bone nails shot out of the fan bones, and the few people who rushed up obviously did not expect that the opponent would use a hidden weapon, and when the bone nails came to the front, they wanted to dodge, but they were too late, and they were suddenly pierced through the brain, and the red blood and white brains would flow out together.
Seeing this, Han Chuang immediately pulled up Liu Qingfu and Nie Qingqing and ran back, with his eyesight, he could naturally see that these two people were by no means comparable to Zhang Yu just now.
Compared with them, Zhang Yu is inferior in strength first, and then there is technique, after Zhang Yu becomes a puppet, he will only use brute force, and judging from the beautiful secret weapon technique of the young man just now, their martial arts skills must not be low.
Beyond the power of half-step condensation, coupled with outstanding martial arts, even if Han Chuang still didn't dare to say victory, the most important thing was that these two people were too weird, God knows if they had other means.
Han Chuang took up the serpentine instantaneous step, holding Liu Qingfu with his left hand and Nie Qingqing with his right hand, and caught up with Jin Sanfu in a short time.
"Brother Jin, what now?" he asked
Jin Sanfu hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that you once went to see the relief of a temple? Let's go to that temple first." ”
Han Chuang nodded and said, "Okay, follow me." ”
The body twisted and ran wildly to the other side, Jin Sanfu beckoned the others, and followed suit.
Somehow, the old and the young did not continue to chase Han Chuang and the others, Han Chuang ran wildly for a while, and when he saw that there were no pursuers behind him, he stopped.
He put his hands on his knees, gasping for breath.
"I swear, it was the most embarrassing day I had. ”
Liu Qingfu couldn't help laughing and said, "I remember when you were most embarrassed, wasn't you bullied three times a day?"
A fragment of a memory suddenly emerged from Han Chuang's mind, and he remembered that he had been bullied by three different waves of people in the morning, noon and evening.
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh and replied, "It's all in the past. ”
At this moment, Jin Sanfu and the others came, perhaps because of the wild running, Jin Sanfu looked somewhat weak, beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his forehead, dragging out several long lines of water on his shiny cheeks.
But he only took a breath and immediately said, "Where is the temple?"
Han Chuang pointed ahead and said, "It's inside." ”
In front of him was a path leading to the entrance of the temple, which had long been submerged in smoke and rubble, Han Chuang and the others followed this path forward, and after a few steps, a bell suddenly rang in front of them!
Han Chuang couldn't help frowning, and said to Nie Qingqing, "Did you see a bell when we came?"
Nie Qingqing glanced at Liu Qingfu and caught the same doubt in her eyes.
"No, I'm sure. She said, unusually determined.
"Then where did this bell come from?" Han Chuang muttered.
At this moment, someone behind him suddenly shouted: "This is the bell that urges life, it is the death knell!" Han Chuang looked back and saw that it was a disciple of the Moon Night Sect named Cai Jing who shouted.
The disciple of the Moon Night Sect is good at using the judge's pen, and this Cai Jing also has a pair of gold-cast judge's pens, and while he shouted, he pulled out this pair of judge's pens from his waist and stabbed at the slashing yuan beside him.
Chopping Yuan didn't move, nor did he draw the knife, he didn't need him to make any action in advance, just as the tip of the pen was about to hit his throat, the knife flashed, and the tip of the pen rolled down, and at the same time there was a bloody human head.
The blood arrow was marked out from the broken hole in Cai Jing's neck.
Han Chuang frowned and said, "What happened?"
Chopping Yuan said: "He is controlled. ”
Han Chuang said in a deep voice: "But he didn't fall asleep, how could he be controlled?"
Jin Sanfu's face suddenly turned to ashes: "It's this bell that is funny, you see-" He stretched out his right hand, his trembling index finger pointing forward.
The people looked in the direction of his finger, and saw the figure of a human body with the head of an ox coming out of the ruins of the ancient temple, and he held a bell in his hand, a very small one, only about three feet long, and the gilding had peeled off most of it, revealing the patina inside.
There is no need for Jin Sanfu to explain, everyone understands what they have encountered.
- Nightmare, this is the legendary nightmare, but according to legend, it doesn't have the clock in its hand, so what is this clock?
Han Chuang suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
