Chapter 5. Necros
At sunset, a northerly wind blows. While heading to the hall for dinner, Qi Rusong heard the wind blowing into the ancient building.
Tonight, the chef cooked several large pots of mutton bisque with carrots and potatoes.
When he scooped an extra spoonful into Qi Rusong's bowl and gave him a large piece of lamb chops, he immediately understood what was going on.
All Demon Hunters who embark on a demon slaying journey for the first time will receive preferential treatment.
Qi Rusong has experienced life and death, and has killed the crossing demon, so he is naturally much calmer.
But inside the Demon Hunter Gate, more than a third of the people are recruits.
Through their eyes, Qi Rusong could clearly see their fear.
At this moment, he heard the laughter of Xu Zhenqing's men. Sharp and cruel, like a leather whip.
"Look at this bunch of thieves, liars, murderers, bastards. Ming'er gets rid of the demon, and I'm scared like this today! The man was busy telling the people around him. Why did the Great Xia Kingdom forgive these people! ”
"Watch your words!" Qi Rusong warned him. "The thief of your mouth is not a great evil. There were poor civilians who took a few pairs of medicinal herbs privately for their seriously ill father. There was a man who killed and insulted his mother's villain. ”
"It's all your words, lowly civilians can excuse their evil deeds, and you can find any kind of reason."
As soon as Qi Rusong heard this, he clenched the hilt of his sword, "You have two chances to apologize." ”
"Apologize? I refuse. Little prince, are you going to beat me up? ”
"You have one more chance to apologize for your words and actions!"
"Humph! Do you still think you are the little prince you once had? The demon hunter disciple scoffed, "An illegitimate son who is despised by his own father, you are as lowly as your cousin mother!" ”
In the blink of an eye, Qi Rusong had already jumped onto the long table, and the demon sword dragon was out of the sheath.
The wolf tried to grab him, but he jerked his leg away, jumped to the other side of the table, and kicked the bowl over the man's hand. The broth splattered and spilled all over the nearby brothers.
There were shouts all around, but Qi Rusong couldn't hear anything. He threw himself at the face with the sword dragon light.
"Ahh
Xu Zhenqing was furious and directly pulled out his long sword.
The mad wolf and the others were not ambiguous, and everyone stood in line. The crowd immediately divided into two camps. Both sides drew their weapons one after another, and suddenly the swords were tense.
It was still Elder Wu who stopped the situation from escalating.
He ordered his own soldiers to come up, grabbed Qi Rusong, who was still about to do it, and persuaded him to go back to the bedroom.
A moment later, Marven, who was upstairs making a plan, came downstairs to see him.
"Rusong, why are you still so impulsive!" Marvin said, shaking his head in disgust. "I had high hopes for you, but it turned out to be like this."
"That guy is very disrespectful."
"Then you also need to report to me, naturally there is a way to punish him."
"I don't think Xu Zhenqing may take you seriously!"
Marven bit his lip tightly and didn't say a word.
He arranged for his men to stay in his room and not leave.
"Xu Zhenqing, hum!" Qi Rulet put his hands on his knees and leaned against the wall, staring at the candle on the table next to the narrow bed. The candle flame flickered, the shadows flickered around him, and the room seemed darker and colder.
He took out the demon sword dragon light, "Those who have achieved great things must not be impetuous. Be cautious and flexible. "My father's teachings came to mind.
Am I supposed to refrain from...
The night was long, and drowsiness struck.
When I woke up, my legs were stiff and numb, and the candles had long since burned out.
Suddenly, he heard the growling of the hounds.
When he came to the window, he saw several hounds baring their teeth and growling silently. Are they crazy?
No, there was movement outside, so he broke down the door.
Draw your sword and unsheath it. Take a closer look around.
"Who's there?" He muttered, trying to hide the fear in his voice.
Turning around the corner, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.
There were the corpses of dozens of Demon Hunter Sect disciples lying on the ground.
Some of their heads were twisted a full hundred and eighty degrees, some were split in two, some lost their arms, and some were stabbed through the stomach. Blood was spilled all over the ground.
Someone actually killed dozens of disciples in the Demon Hunting Gate, but there was no sound!
At this time, there was no one around, so he immediately raised his left hand. The soul of the dead was devoured clean, and the cold spirit of the dead filled his body.
At this rate, it won't be long before you can break through to the [Second Order Sword Envoy Middle Stage]!
At this time, he heard the sound of footsteps sounding from Marven's residence.
Without hesitation, he lifted the dragon light and rushed forward.
In Marven's bedroom, he saw a pitch-black figure in the shadows, wearing a cloak and a hood, but under the hood, the eyes were shining with a cold blue glow.
The figure was raising his sword and slashing at Marven.
Qi Rusong just wanted to condense the aura, but realized that if he used the sword qi, he was afraid that it would destroy the house and hurt Marven.
So he leaped into the air, but there was no scream, no roar.
The demon sword dragon light slashed through the sleeves, skin, and bones, but somehow, the voice was very wrong.
The hooded man raised his miserable round face, and Qi Rusong did not hesitate to raise his sword and slash.
With a swing of the Demon Sword, the dragon light split his nose in half, slicing a deep bone-piercing crack through his cheek, just below those eyes that were like burning blue stars.
He recognized this face, a dead demon hunter disciple! Frightened, he staggered back.
He died, I saw it with my own eyes. Not only that, but I buried his body and sucked his soul!
Suddenly, he felt something pick at his ankle. When I looked down, I saw that the dark fingers were tightly clamping his calf, and the broken arm was climbing up to his thigh.
Qi Rusong felt a burst of severe nausea, he screamed, and hurriedly used the tip of the dragon light's sword to cut the broken arm into several pieces.
The corpse staggered towards him. It didn't bleed a drop, it was missing a hand, and its face was almost split in half, but it seemed unconscious.
This is the Demon Clan! You have to use spiritual power, and you can't care about anything else!
Qi Rusong, who reacted, immediately adjusted his breathing strength, and after the demon sword dragon light was injected with spiritual power, a faint red light appeared. It was unusually dazzling in the dark.
"Die!"
Qi Rusong used all his strength, and the [Rapid Dragon Thorn] was launched.
The demon sword dragon light pierced into the corpse's skull, and the sword blade sank deep.
"Plop!" The disciple's body collapsed with a bang.
Come back to your senses...
Qi Rusong saw that the deputy master of Marven, who was naked, had just woken up from his sleep, and was still very weak, got up from the bed.
The bitten, fingerless arm was swinging violently across the floor, wriggling and crawling towards him. Marven angrily raised his right foot, condensed his spiritual power, and trampled the stump arm to pieces...
"Rusong, are you okay?" Marven frowned and asked.
It was the first time he had fought a corpse. His heart was still beating fast. "My lord, I'm fine." Qi Rusong lied... Also deliberately loud. "What about you?"
Marven frowned again. "There's a dead man trying to kill me, how much better do you think I can be?" He touched the top of his head.
During the day, he was still having a headache for the dead demon hunting sect disciples, and at night he encountered such an attack again. Marven was even more grumpy.
"You don't look good!" Marven noticed his hand, "What's wrong with the hand?" ”
Qi Rusong hurriedly blocked the wind point in his left hand, "A little injury, it's okay!" ”
"Hmph, that's the birthmark, right? Tomorrow you can wear gloves when you go to the Ghost Forest. ”
"Wearing gloves?" He wanted to say that the Ghost Forest also belongs to the south, and the climate is not cold, so will wearing gloves arouse suspicion?
"The closer you get to the Demon Clan's sealing ground, the colder it gets." Marven told him, "The extremely cold land in the northern part of Great Xia is less than one ten-thousandth of that. ”
During the conversation, there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard.
A moment later, the mad wolf, the mad wolf came with the disciples of the Demon Hunting Sect.
"How are you, master?" Wolf asked.
"How? With your concern, I'd have already fallen to the ground. Marven said angrily, "Who is on duty tonight?" ”
"It's my people." The wolf replied, "But, they're all dead." ”
"Heaven forbid." Marven's anger dissipated halfway, "Report tonight's losses." ”
"Back to the sect master, thirty-seven disciples were killed in battle. The perpetrators are... but the three disciples who died. ”
"It's four, Rusong killed one alone." Marven told him. "Is Elder Wu here?"
"Yes, Master!" Without waiting for Marven to speak, he continued, "The evil we encountered tonight is not an ordinary demon clan or a crossing demon, the door master, we should..."
Marven understood, "Crazy Wolf, gather everyone in the courtyard," he said, "Crazy Wolf, you go and dig up the bodies of the other four disciples who are buried and bring them to the courtyard." Stay safe! Wolf, go find some wood and set up a pyre. ”
"Command!"
The task was given, and Marven turned around and entered his room.
The disciples of the Demon Hunter Sect brought back tangled trees, shrubs, and bunches of withered grass.
They also found two trees that grew most straightly, cut off their branches, stripped off their bark, and split them to pile the resulting firewood into squares, with straw, shrubs, bark shavings, and hay in between.
The Wild Wolf and the others carried the corpses of all the disciples who died tonight onto the pyre.
The sky is getting brighter, and the newborn dawn is about to break through the darkness.
Marven walked out of the room, carrying two letters in his arms.
He took the torch from the wolf's hand and inserted it into the pyre, which immediately burst into flames. A stream of hot air rose from the fire and rushed towards Qi Rusong, soft and abrupt. The flames quickly burned the corpses of the Demon Hunter disciples, the firewood hissed and burst, and glowing embers rose from the smoke screen.
Marven knelt down on one knee with his sword, and the rest of the disciples knelt down with him.
Then, Marven read aloud the oath of the Demon Hunting Gate:
"The demon clan has not been destroyed, from today onwards I will watch over Great Xia, I will not marry a wife, not a fief, and not have children. I am rich and prosperous, and I do not participate in the strife of the world. I will do my duty and die in my life.
I am the sword of the people, the guard of the Dongsheng Continent. I am the flame against the cold, the morning light at dawn, and the shield of the Great Xia Kingdom. Tonight, night and night.
May you go to heaven in your soul and bless me in Great Xia! ”
After the event, Marven handed over the letter in his arms to Elder Wu and told him to personally hand it over to Qi Tai and the head of the Demon Hunting Sect.
Then he summoned his mount and turned on his horse.
"Let's go!" He told the disciples.
All the disciples got on their horses one after another.
The sky is gray, and the demon hunters embark on a journey, facing them are the demon clan they have never encountered before!
