Chapter 47: Defeat
The people who peeked out the window were the same two people who had entertained us before, and now although they are still my parents, I feel a chill rising from the bottom of my heart.
Seeing the two of them standing outside the window, I raised the claw hammer in my hand and smashed it out of the window without saying a word.
The claw hammer hit the glass and exploded instantly, only to hear a loud sound of the glass shattering and falling to the ground, taking advantage of this critical moment I grabbed Li Hai, who was stunned, and prepared to run out of the house.
But before I could step out of the door, my ankle was suddenly pulled by something, and its force was so great that it was difficult for me to move at all, and Li Hai also let out an exclamation in surprise.
Looking down, a woman dressed in white and with her hair crawled out from under the bed without warning.
Her white, cold hands were clutching Li Hai's ankles and me, and her sharp nails seemed to have sunk into the flesh.
Seeing that the woman in white grabbed her ankle, I pulled out a short knife from my waist and stabbed it at the woman's arm.
The sharp knife thrust into the woman's arm with a pop, but the woman didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and no red blood flowed.
In this way, it seems that this woman must be a member of the Spiritual Gate, and she was not sent by the Casting Golden Hall.
"Lao Li, greetings to the claw hammer!"
After stabbing me several times, I saw that it had no effect, so I had to let Li Hai continue to try.
After all, the Fuling Gate is divided into four halls, and the things we fear are different, and we have to test them all to know which of the four halls sent them.
At this moment, Li Hai had come to his senses, and when he saw that the short knife was useless, he immediately pulled out the claw hammer from his waist and smashed it towards the woman's head.
Although Li Hai said that his ankle was injured, he did not have the slightest problem with his arm, he raised the claw hammer above his head and used his strength to smash it at the woman, only to hear a bang, and the claw hammer fell on the position of the woman's heavenly spirit cover.
If this blow was put on an ordinary person, his brain would have burst out, but the woman in front of him was unscathed.
Seeing that the woman was not sent by the carved stone hall, I just wanted to open the backpack and take out the mineral water, when the woman suddenly withdrew her arms forcefully, and Li Hai and I fell to the ground in an instant due to the instability of the lower plate.
Although the height is not high, the floor of my house is uneven brick floor, and it is inevitable that the back will be injured by the bricks.
The moment I landed, I felt a tingling sensation in my muscles and bones, followed by severe pain.
The violent impact made my breathing start to become short, and before I could struggle to get up, the woman in white who had been lying on the ground actually stood up.
Her face was so white that she seemed to have been smeared with a white face, and her cheeks were bloody, and she was dressed as a paper figure.
"Look at this ghost must be a paper figure, Lao Tzu will burn her to death with fire now!"
After dragging his fat body to sit up, Li Hai immediately took out a lighter from his pocket and immediately stretched it towards the white clothes that the woman was wearing.
There was a click of a lighter and a few centimeters of flames, and at this time, there was no panicked look on the woman's face, but a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
After seeing the expression of the woman in white, I felt bad, and I was just about to remind Li Hai, but it was too late, but at the moment when the flames touched the woman's clothes, the woman suddenly stretched out her hands and attacked Li Hai's neck.
Because Li Hai was sitting on the ground at the moment, and he couldn't dodge because of the injury on his foot, he was choked by the woman in white after an exclamation.
The woman in white was extremely powerful, and with one hand, she lifted Li Hai, who weighed more than 200 catties, in the air, Rao is Li Hai's limbs kept struggling, but the woman in white did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
Seeing that Li Hai's face was red and his eyes were rolling, I rushed forward and tore a place with the woman in white.
After all, the woman in front of me is not a living person at all, her arms are powerful, how can I be her opponent.
After some tearing, I was kicked to the ground, and all the contents of my backpack were thrown out due to inertia.
Chen ...... Chen Mo, save ...... Help me......"
Li Hai was choked by the throat and could hardly make a sound, I saw that he couldn't hold out for long and was just about to get up to rescue, when the palm of his hand suddenly touched something cold.
Looking at it through the moonlight, next to the palm of her hand was a bottle of unopened mineral water, and now the stabbing and hammering fire attack had no effect on the woman in white, presumably she must have been sent by the Clay Sculpture Hall.
I didn't have time to think about the critical situation, so I unscrewed the cap and stood up, raised the water bottle in my hand and poured it on the top of the woman's head.
In an instant, the whole bottle of mineral water fell from the top of the woman's head, and a white mist suddenly rose in front of her, followed by a roar.
Looking closely, the woman in white had already let go of her palms and was covering her face with her hands and crying bitterly.
After seeing Li Hai fall to the ground, I hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and then said worriedly: "Lao Li, are you okay?" β
Li Hai coughed violently and gasped for breath, and before he could speak, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the woman in white.
I looked up and felt a thump in my heart.
At this time, the woman in white kept scratching her face with her sharp nails like madness, and with the dripping of water stains, her miserable white face began to fade, and soon turned into the color of earth.
"How...... How did it come to this! Li Hai looked at the woman in white and asked in shock.
"Uncle Qin said that the spiritual things endowed by the clay sculpture hall in the Fuling Gate are all made of yellow mud, and now it seems that she should be made of mud, so it will start to dissolve after touching the water, leave her alone, let's get out of here quickly!" As I spoke, I was going to leave the house with Li Hai.
"Don't ...... Don't try to escape......"
Just as we were about to walk out of the house, the woman in white suddenly caught up, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Hai's arm, Li Hai looked back at the woman in white when she saw this, and shouted angrily: "Give you a shameless face, Lao Tzu will let you know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has now!" β
As soon as the words fell, Li Hai raised the claw hammer in his hand and smashed it towards the head of the woman in white, although the force was not as strong as before, but it gave the woman in white a fatal blow.
After the claw hammer hit the top of the woman's head, there was an instant clatter and cracking sound, and then the woman's body collapsed and fell directly to the ground, and then turned into loess fragments.
After seeing the woman smashed by Li Hai, I immediately dragged Li Hai out of the house, but just a few steps out of the house, there was a sudden strange noise behind me.
Sensing the danger, I subconsciously bent over, and in an instant, a black shadow passed over my head, and then slammed into the courtyard gate not far in front of me.
Looking up, the claw hammer that had been smashed out of the window had now been embedded in the courtyard door several centimeters deep, and most of the dust accumulated on the door for several years had been shaken off.
For a while, the smoke in front of him was filled, and his vision became extremely unclear.
"I didn't expect you two little cubs to have some skills, but I'm afraid it's not so easy to escape from us!"
Startled, a man's cold voice came from behind him.
Looking back, the two people who had previously transformed into my parents were standing in front of the window, looking at Li Hai and me with sinister smiles.
Although the appearance of the two under the cold moon is indistinguishable from my parents, their facial expressions are very different.
Their eyes are cold and ruthless, full of murderous intent, and it is not difficult to see that they are bound to put us to death.
Seeing that they were blocking the way, Li Hai's anger rose in his heart, and he picked up the claw hammer in his hand and was about to rush up, but seeing this, I hurriedly stopped it and said in a low voice: "Don't do it yet, wait until I ask clearly!" β
After speaking, I looked at the person in front of me and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, why should we have no worries and no grievances between us!" β
"Since you are already dead to the point of death, it doesn't hurt to tell you, we are sent by the Fuling Sect, and we want you to have a thing on your body, and at the same time, we also want you to put a human head on your neck, don't blame us for being ruthless, if you want to blame, blame your life!" The man looked at me and said coldly.
"Soul Gate? I heard that there are four halls in the door, but I wonder which one of you two belong to? I looked at the man in front of me and deliberately opened his mouth tentatively.
The four halls of the Spiritual Gate require different tools to restrain them, and we can't get close at all at the moment, so we can't try to get out of their halls.
If they could say it themselves, we would have saved a little effort and could have eliminated it with restraint.
The man was about to speak when he heard this, when the woman next to him raised her hand to interrupt it, and then looked at the claw hammer in Li Hai's hand and sneered: "It seems that you already know how to deal with the things of the four halls of the Fuling Gate, in this case, if you tell the hall mouth, then wouldn't we lift a stone and hit ourselves in the foot, boy, you are indeed smart, but don't take us for fools!" β
Seeing the danger coming, I immediately took out a bottle of mineral water from my backpack, unscrewed the cap and threw it at the woman.
A whole bottle of water was poured on the woman's face, I thought that this woman's body would begin to dissolve like the woman in white before, but what I didn't expect was that the woman in front of her was unscathed, so she was not sent by the clay sculpture hall!
It was too late to understand, and by the time I tried to pull the knife from my waist, the woman had already rushed forward.
She raised her fist and struck me straight at the door, but I didn't have time to dodge because she was so fast, I heard a thud on the left side of my face, and for a moment I felt the world spin and then I fell to the ground.
"Chen Mo, are you okay?"
When Li Hai saw that I fell to the ground, he raised the claw hammer in his hand and smashed it towards the woman in front of him, and when the hammer head was still a few centimeters away from the woman's front door, the woman suddenly stretched out her palm and grabbed the hammer head.
Li Hai tried his best to withdraw the claw hammer, but the woman's strength was too strong to move at all.
After a few seconds of stalemate, Li Hai's forehead was already oozing sweat, and seeing that Li Hai was invincible, I just wanted him to withdraw his hand quickly, but I didn't expect the woman to take the lead in letting go of his palm.
Due to inertia, Li Hai stumbled and rolled to the ground, and before she could get up, the woman bent down to pick up the short knife I had just dropped, and walked towards me and Li Hai with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
Qin Wenhua once said that among the four halls, the spirituality of the paper-cutting hall is the weakest, and the spirituality of the Casting Golden Hall is the most powerful.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly looked at Li Hai, who fell to the ground, and said loudly: "They are sent by the Casting Golden Hall, hurry up and give me the short knife!" β
Li Hai didn't hesitate when he heard this, he took out a short knife from his waist and threw it to me.
I took it to the side, then stood up and held the short knife to my chest, and then looked at the woman walking towards me in front of me and shouted: "Don't go any further, if you take one more step, I will destroy you!" β
"Destroy me? Joke! Do you think you can destroy me with the short knife in your hand, you are so naΓ―ve! β
As soon as the woman's voice fell, she rushed forward, and seeing that the situation was critical, I raised the short knife in my hand and stabbed at the woman.
Unexpectedly, this woman's body was agile, and she easily dodged the attack, and then her right arm swung out, and with a bang, the claw hammer smashed directly into the blade.
After a crisp iron clash, the short knife was shaken away, and my tiger's mouth was also numb by the violent impact.
In a panic, I was just about to retreat and run away, when the woman slammed the hammer on my back with a cross arm.
For a moment, I felt as if I had been hit by a huge rock in my back, and I staggered forward two steps before falling to the ground.
After falling to the ground, I endured the pain and turned my head to look, the man had already stepped forward at this moment, he bent down to pick up the short knife that had fallen, and said with a sneer: "You guessed right, we are indeed sent by the Casting Golden Hall, but now that the two short knives are in our hands, if you want to destroy us, I am afraid that there is no chance!" β
After the man finished speaking, he and the woman each walked towards me and Li Hai with short knives, and at this time Li Hai and I were already injured and fell to the ground, and we could no longer fight against them.
Seeing that the two of us were about to be in different places, I looked at Li Hai on the side and said guiltily: "Lao Li, we may have to fold here this time, it's because I'm not good at bothering you." β
"What nonsense are you talking about, I want to follow me myself, it has nothing to do with you, I just hope that we will be brothers in the next life!" Li Hai looked at me with red eyes and said.
"You two are really righteous, okay, I'll send you to Huangquan now, and let you have a companion on the road!" As he spoke, the man raised his short knife and stabbed at me.
At this moment, there was a sudden loud bang in the direction of the courtyard door, and when I looked back in surprise, there was a figure standing outside the door in the night!
"At the beginning, the Fuling Gate was only created for the purpose of cultivating land and draining mountains and rivers, but now it has started this murderous act, and since I have met you two today, don't leave!"
