Chapter Seventy-Three: I'm Not a Coward
With a "bang", the mixed stream mixed with flesh and blood finally broke through the invisible barrier and flowed directly to Duanmu Feixue's feet, and quickly overflowed, drowning Duanmu Feixue's embroidered shoes.
The fishy liquid had already flowed into his feet and spread upwards at a very fast speed, but Duanmu Feixue didn't frown, and his two hands slowly closed together.
The swarm of bats began to move forward again.
Half a meter away from Duanmu Feixue, the bats came to a halt automatically.
The ugly heads, the sharp teeth exposed, and the thousands of green eyes all locked on Duanmu Feixue alone. Xu Yunhe, who was behind her, was tightly blocked by her thin body.
"Squeak!" A sharp and piercing chirp, the bats in the top row suddenly flapped their wings and flew up, opened their mouths to reveal the two rows of sharp teeth inside, and rushed towards Duanmu Feixue's snow-white neck with a vicious look.
"Whew!"
Duanmu Feixue Jade waved his hand, but nothing appeared, and the row of bats that had just flapped their wings and flew out had already fallen to the ground before they could stabilize their bodies in the air.
Nearly a hundred bats fell to the ground, fluttering gently on the blood mixed with the scraps of the stump, and not a single one could fly again, or even die and struggle. They drifted silently on the blood, and they were all dead.
With a flick, slay the white bats. King Wu, even if he is weak, is also a strong man that cannot be underestimated.
"Ahem, cough ......" Behind him, Xu Yunhe's continuous coughing sound suddenly came, as if he had choked.
Duanmu Feixue, whose face was cold, thought that the blood flow was now out of control, and it was more than half a person tall. Xu Yunhe has been squatting on the ground and has not gotten up, could it be that this stupid guy is still squatting on the ground and drowning in these dirty blood?
This idiot!
Duanmu Feixue turned around sharply, but forgot about the death threats on both sides in front of him. As soon as he turned halfway, the bats on both sides suddenly seemed to be crazy, and they rushed towards Duanmu Feixue, who turned his back.
The black pressure was overwhelming, and the bats that covered the sky and the sun instantly submerged Duanmu Feixue and Xu Yunhe. In just a short period of time, they were washed out like a torrent, from the inside out, in the opposite direction.
Endless bats, swept away to the sides by a powerful air current. After a while, Duanmu Feixue and Xu Yunhe re-revealed the figures of the two of them.
Duanmu Feixue's body was covered with blood stains, and there were some bat remains attached to it, but she didn't care, just stared at Xu Yunhe, who was tightly grasped by one of her hands.
In my eyes, there is a flame burning.
"You coward! I can face these filthy things as a woman, why can you only shrink behind a woman and tremble? If I don't fish you out, are you going to drown yourself below? If your master is not here, aren't you a man? Even if you have to die in the mouths of these stinky bats today, can't you die like a man? What is the qualification of a coward like you to die with me Duanmu Feixue?!"
Duanmu Feixue scolded Xu Yunhe is head and face, who would have thought that such a frost beauty from a noble background would scold people like this.
Listening to Duanmu Feixue's merciless scolding, Xu Yunhe, who was scolded bloody, trembled suddenly, but still, still did not raise his head.
Yuan looked at Xu Yunhe with a pair of phoenix eyes, but he never saw Xu Yunhe raise his head. Duanmu Feixue scolded the last sentence in disappointment: "No guts!"
didn't wake up Xu Yunhe, Duanmu Feixue turned to face the group of bats, they still didn't give up.
"If you want to die, let's die together!" Duanmu Feixue snorted, grabbed Xu Yunhe with one hand, put the five fingers of the other hand together, and turned his wrist, surrounding Xu Yunhe and herself, and suddenly a silver-white ice wall appeared.
Duanmu Feixue threw Xu Yunhe to the ground with his hand, and then rushed out without looking back.
The sudden appearance of the ice wall caused a commotion in the bats. Soon, however, they regrouped their ranks and approached Duanmu Feixue again.
Duanmu Feixue's cheeks were already covered with sweat. Her pretty face was pale, but she clenched a pair of small fists tightly, and around her delicate body, a pale white halo lingered faintly.
"Squeak!" the crazy bat torrent descended again, intending to drown Duanmu Flying Snow again. Duanmu Feixue did not retreat, but advanced, her two arms danced around her body, and countless ice arrows flew out of her hands in all directions.
Ice arrows shot out, and a rain of bats fell. Duanmu Feixue still didn't care about it, and her weak delicate body rushed into the endless bat torrent without hesitation.
Inside, no one knows what's going on. Even the bats on the periphery didn't know what the human who went in inside had done. All they saw was that there were dead and wounded people of the same kind being thrown out, and the stinky flesh and blood flying all over the sky were scattered everywhere.
In a big chaos, in the chaotic bat swarm, Duanmu Feixue's figure suddenly rushed out. She escaped from the bats in a flash and spiked into the massive wall of ice.
The exhausted Duanmu Feixue retreated, and a swarm of bats outside crashed outside like crazy, but this wall had a big origin, and the bats in front of it could no longer fly after hitting it once. Their bodies were firmly frozen against the ice wall, one after the other joining together, thickening the ice wall at a rapid speed.
Duanmu Feixue, who escaped death, rushed in and sat down on the ground weakly. She didn't bother to check how many wounds she had on her body, and at first glance, she saw that Xu Yunhe was still sitting there with his head buried, and he didn't know when he turned around and turned his back to herself.
A hint of relief flashed in his eyes, and then, an extreme sense of powerlessness hit his heart, and Duanmu Feixue could only lean on Xu Yunhe's back weakly, gasping for breath.
"Hey, you know what? We're really going to die here this time!" Xu Yunhe's thick back, Duanmu Feixue leaned on very comfortably. She changed her uncle's posture and said to Xu Yunhe casually.
didn't answer, Xu Yunhe didn't even move.
Duanmu Feixue didn't seem to expect Xu Yunhe to answer herself, she continued to say to herself: "I didn't expect that after more than ten years of cultivation, I couldn't even beat this group of stinky bats. This time, although I am very unwilling, but there is no way, I, and you, are going to die here!"
Xu Yunhe still didn't react.
Duanmu Feixue suddenly sighed, and said faintly: "I didn't expect that I would die with a coward man like you! Coward, we are going to die soon, do you have any regrets?"
No response.
"It's a pity that we died here, not only does no one know, but even after death, I'm afraid that we won't even be able to leave a complete corpse, right? It's disgusting to think about the dirty things outside, and we're going to be devoured by them after death, which is even more disgusting!" I don't know if it's because I know that death has fallen, Duanmu Feixue, who has always been indifferent, actually talked a lot.
"You said that if in a few decades, the next wave of people who came here to search for the Martial King's Vault found the bones of these two of us, what would they think?
"I'm not a coward. A voice said.
"Who are you, a coward, not even a weak woman like me......!" Duanmu Feixue pursed her lips, suddenly as if she realized something, she straightened up, turned around and looked at Xu Yunhe's thick back in disbelief.
"I'm not a coward. Again, the voice emphasized.
"You...... You ......" Duanmu Feixue looked at Xu Yunhe eatingly, he had already stood up.
Xu Yunhe stood up and turned his head to look at Duanmu Feixue, who was already stunned, and there was no despair or fear in his eyes. Sort of, just the calm of the deep sea.
"You...... Are you awake?" Duanmu Feixue said.
Xu Yunhe said "um", suddenly leaned down, took off a few bat wings from Duanmu Feixue's hair, and brushed the messy hair on her sideburns, the movements were very gentle, very gentle.
Duanmu Feixue didn't seem to feel Xu Yunhe's overly intimate behavior at all, she just opened her eyes as clear as water and looked at him without blinking.
"Thank you for your hard work, leave the rest to me. Xu Yunhe withdrew his hand, turned around, and walked back.
"Wait a minute, it's too dangerous outside, you ...... go out now" Duanmu Feixue stopped Xu Yunhe behind him.
"This wall of ice of yours won't last much time. Those bats, they'll rush in soon. Xu Yunhe stopped, but did not turn around.
"I know!" Duanmu Feixue gritted his teeth, "I know they're always going to rush in, but at least, we can delay a little longer!"
"What can you do if you delay a little time?" Xu Yunhe sighed and walked forward, "Since you can't escape after all, let's face it earlier!"
"If you go out now, you'll die soon!" Duanmu Feixue tried hard to catch up with Xu Yunhe and hold him, but now she had exhausted every ounce of strength in her body, and it was difficult to even move a little finger. After struggling for a long time, he still couldn't get himself up.
"I know. Xu Yunhe replied without looking back, "Even you are not their opponent, and I can't do it." Perhaps, as soon as I get out, I will be torn apart by them. But I've been protected by you for so long, this time, and for the last time, let me protect you once!"
"I don't want you to protect me! I just want you to live! Live well!" Duanmu Feixue cried, and there was already a trace of sadness in his voice.
Xu Yunhe didn't answer, he continued to walk forward, and after taking two steps, he turned around again and walked towards Duanmu Feixue.
Walking in front of Duanmu Feixue, Xu Yunhe squatted down, helped Duanmu Feixue, who was paralyzed on the ground, and found a slightly cleaner place on the side for her to sit on.
"Why are you crying?" Xu Yunhe looked at Duanmu Feixue's face full of tears in surprise, he never thought that this eldest lady, who had always been cold, would cry like a helpless little girl.
Clear and crystal tears flowed out uncontrollably, and the tears were so clear, just like her eyes that were as clear as the starry sky, without a trace of impurities.
"Don't cry! What are you crying about, aren't I still dead? If you keep crying, you will become an ugly monster!" Xu Yunhe was most afraid of seeing the girl's tears, and clumsily wanted to comfort the sad Duanmu Feixue, but it was a pity that he was clumsy, after these few dry words, Duanmu Feixue not only did not stop crying, but the tears flowed more quickly.
Rows of tears flowed down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes. The face was originally stained with blood and filth, but at this moment, a few lines of tears flowed down, and two marks were washed out on the cheeks, revealing the flawless delicate skin inside.
With such a big flower face, it looks a little funny. But Xu Yunhe looked at it in a daze, but he couldn't laugh at all.
Duanmu Feixue was still crying, her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly, although the tears were flowing happily, she controlled herself, and she didn't let her choked throat make any sound.
Crying silently is actually more sad than crying and grabbing the ground.
For the first time in sixteen years, Duanmu Feixue knew that he could cry as well.
It turned out that his tears were not cold.
It turns out that every woman is destined to shed tears for a man.
It turns out that this is their fate.
"Let's go!" Duanmu Feixue suddenly turned his back and choked Xu Yunhe with the last of his strength.
Xu Yunhe's outstretched hand froze in Duanmu Feixue's original position. He withdrew his hand in a daze, and said to Duanmu Feixue, "Take care!"
After speaking, Xu Yunhe left. There was no obstacle at all for the ice wall to go out from the inside, and with one step, Xu Yunhe had already come to the outside of the ice wall.
Outside, it's another world.
On the outer ice wall, a long string of bats hung from the inside out, frozen together, as if thickening the ice wall with a bat-outer layer.
After the first attempts, the bats have seen how powerful this ice wall is. Now they have given up on this futile impact and are back together, not knowing what to prepare for the next move.
Xu Yunhe walked out, and the bats immediately found out, several bats "squeaked", as if they wanted to pounce, but they didn't really take action.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Yunhe looked at those endless bloodthirsty bats, raised his feet, and took the first step forward.
stepped on it and stepped on the bat corpse on the ground, and with a "poof" sound, a stream of blood spurted out, and it turned out that Xu Yunhe had stepped on its internal organs.
This sound was like a signal detonated. Silently, suddenly there was an overwhelming group of bats, swooping towards Xu Yunhe.
"Huh!"
The bats that attacked for the first time fell to the ground very neatly, landed at Xu Yunhe's feet, and lined up in a straight line, and a row of bats was cut out of a straight line, and a slight smell of burnt paste came out.
The first battle was won, and Xu Yunhe finally defeated the demons.
But behind, there are more bats. They opened their mouths wide, and their eyes swooped at Xu Yunhe viciously.
The death of their kind did not make them feel any fear, their eyes were blood-red, and they looked greedily at the veins on Xu Yunhe's neck. They only know how to lick blood, and the thirst for blood goes beyond a qiē.
His heart was pounding, Xu Yunhe raised his hand, but without moving, a swarm of bats had already come to him.
"Whew!"
As soon as they flew in front of Xu Yunhe, before they could cut Xu Yunhe's skin with the sharp teeth in their mouths, their bodies suddenly caught fire. An invisible but not weak force knocked their scorching bodies into the air in one fell swoop, flying upside down in the direction they had come.
And in that direction, there were more of the same kind flying one after another. They didn't know how the forerunners in front of them had flown back again, they only saw that there were clusters of flames flying towards them, and before they could react, they collided with these flames that made them extremely fearful.
One by one, the bats collided together, the fire shone brightly, and the small flames turned into large flames, which were connected in strings, and in the air, a huge net of fire was weaved. In the dim cave, it is beautiful.
Fire is a unique creation of human beings. No matter how ferocious the beast is, in its bones, it has an instinctive fear of this kind of light, which has a blazing heat and is completely incomprehensible.
The lethality of this fire net is not very strong, and it is not as lethal as the bats that Duanmu Feixue stabbed to death with an ice needle at the beginning. But as soon as he made a move, the bats in the front row fell one after another with flames all over their bodies, and the bats in the back all retreated backwards except for the unlucky ones who followed closely behind and had no time to react.
Gathered together again, watching the dead creatures on the ground dying in pain, the bats that escaped were a little frightened. The screams of "squeak" came and went, and looking at Xu Yunhe's eyes, there was no longer such a strong bloodthirsty desire.
But none of them really left.
Not a single one.
Xu Yunhe withdrew, he had long expected that it would be impossible for him to really scare these bats away with this bit of fire. He was satisfied with being able to scare these bats away for a while.
These bloodthirsty bats, if they don't suck the flesh and blood of themselves and Duanmu Feixue dry, they will definitely not retreat lightly. In their hearts, there is only a thirst for blood. Other than that, nothing can attract them.
Next time, what powerful tricks will these vicious bats use?
Xu Yunhe didn't know that the memory of his childhood left him with only the deepest fear. He hadn't even killed a bat that time, and if it weren't for Master, he would have been sucked dry without resistance.
Master is no longer there, all fears, all enemies, I am alone, to face alone!
Xu Yunhe raised his head, and the bats that were blocked from attacking had stopped the commotion.
They're ready, too.
