Chapter 9: Ghost-faced Divine Monarch, breaking the true body in the purple bamboo forest
"Whew~! Call~! In mid-air, the scattered leaves were suddenly blown down by a gust of wind, and the fallen leaves in the sky continued to appear in front of everyone's eyes, fluttering to the ground.
There was a dead silence in the hallway, and all life seemed to be stirred into the black vortex in front of them. Quiet, as quiet as deathly silence, quiet can only hear the sound of the beating heart. The swords in everyone's hands also became extremely dignified with this quiet atmosphere. There was confusion and fear in his eyes, wondering if this was a prank or if it was fate, and fearing whether everything in front of him was as terrible as the legend said.
The remnants of the leaves drifted in the wind, making the coffin even more eerie and terrifying, and no one dared to approach it.
No one knew what was inside the coffin in front of them. Curiosity is still occupied by fear, and no one goes to find out because of their curiosity. Perhaps they already knew that the coffin in front of them was for them.
The wind did not stop, but blew harder. The leaves that had fallen to the ground were once again swept into the air by the strong wind, blending into the darkening sky, creating a tense picture.
"Bang~Bang~Bang~" That's the coffin lid, and it keeps beating. While the lid of the coffin jumped, a terrible and strange laugh rang out from time to time.
At this time, the horses also began to panic and wandered in place.
"A little rumor made them so mad! I only hate that our Central Plains Martial Arts didn't eradicate these remnants of the Demon Gate back then! Zhao Yueheng glanced at Zhao Zhengxiang, who was less than a year old in Lu Wan'er's arms, with a hint of determination, and said lightly to Lu Wan'er: "Hurry up, take our carriage and leave here quickly, he is the only hope of our Mingyue faction, I don't want to see him tragically at the hands of villains, and I don't want you to do any harm." For the sake of our children, and for the sake of the people of the world, you and he must live unharmed. ”
"Xiang'er is still young, but also..."
"Don't hesitate." Zhao Yueheng took out a handkerchief embroidered with a yellow golden dragon from his bosom and said cautiously: "This is the only object that can prove his identity." In addition, this is also the only lifeblood related to the common people in the world. Therefore, his life is also tied to the common people in the world, for the safety of the people in the world, he must be allowed to live well. ”
Lu Wan'er stuffed it into her arms, and then glanced at the coffin that was shaking in the distance, Lu Wan'er looked at Zhao Zhengxiang in her arms with tears in her eyes, and refused to leave.
"Dare you escort Madame out of here! I'm going to lure him away. Lu Wan'er's hesitation made Zhao Yueheng even more anxious, and he sent two entourages to escort Lu Wan'er away.
No matter what Lu Wan'er is, she can only leave, because she doesn't want her newborn child to become an orphan with no one to take care of.
"Then you must be careful, I and Xiang'er are waiting for you to come back." Lu Wan'er reluctantly glanced at Zhao Yueheng, and rode away in pain.
At this time, the coffin lid jumped even more painfully, and the whole coffin seemed to be about to burst.
The danger is gradually being fired, and the distance is getting closer and closer.
"Madame, be careful!" Before the sword could be drawn, one was already caught in the coffin.
Being included in the coffin of a living person shook even more before their eyes. After a few screams in the tightly closed coffin, the sound of tearing was heard again.
"You guys get out of here!" Zhao Yueheng glanced at Lu Wan'er and the others, and instantly pulled out his sword and stabbed at the coffin in front of him.
Zhao Yueheng's attack gave Lu Wan'er and the others a chance to escape. Two of the entourages escorted Lu Wan'er past in a flash, never stopping at all.
"Wow~!" The coffin seemed to have eyes, and Zhao Yueheng's sharp sword made the coffin take a few steps back.
"Humph! I'm going to see if you're a human or a ghost today! ”
"Wow! Wow! Wow..."When he jumped and was about to fly on the coffin lid, he saw the coffin lid flip into the air and press him down. He dared to stay, as if he was going to trap him in a coffin.
Fortunately, there was no one on the coffin lid, Zhao Yueheng put his feet together, put his sword together with both hands, like a whirling arrow, and flew out of this terrible cage in an instant.
"Smack!" The lid of the coffin smashed heavily on the coffin like a boulder, and the two joined together again.
"Bang~! Syllable~! Syllable~! The lid of the coffin was still beating, like a demon grinding his teeth and sucking blood, stopping not far in front of Zhao Yueheng's eyes, staring closely at Zhao Yueheng's every move.
The wind blows even harder. The atmosphere around them became more and more tense with the strong wind. The two of them did not let their guard down, and the swords in their hands became extremely dignified.
"Wow~!" I don't know why, the coffin flew towards Zhao Yueheng like a sharp arrow. The ground was also marked out of a deep ditch, accompanied by the flying residual leaves in the sky to attack Zhao Yueheng.
Retreat, for him, seemed impossible. This is a terrible killer, how can he leave any room for escape?
"Smack!" Zhao Yueheng greeted him with his palm and slammed it to the side of the coffin.
"Ding!" Another person suddenly attacked from the side of the coffin.
This is a man-eating demon, perhaps he himself made a mistake that he shouldn't have made, so he was poisoned by this demon. Before the man's sword arrived, he heard a scream, and the coffin had already knocked him upside down.
Scenes of tragedy kept playing out in front of his eyes, which made Zhao Yueheng's heart burn like a fire.
It was a cyan swimming dragon, from the meteor sword in Zhao Yueheng's hand. A vague green dragon kept swimming on the sword, and at the same time as the green dragon kept swimming, the sword was also hissing.
"Wow!" At this time, the coffin stood in front of Zhao Yueheng like a human, ready to attack Zhao Yueheng again.
"Crackle!" There was a bang, and the moment the coffin was about to turn, it was split into countless pieces by Zhao Yueheng.
Just as he swung his sword again, he stopped. What made him stop was a person, a person he couldn't bear to hurt, and that person was the Bright Moon Sect disciple who had been caught up in it at the end just now. No, none of this is too certain, it's because this person's face has been blocked by scattered black hair, but his clothes match the disciple just now.
He didn't know who was standing in front of him, and he could only vaguely feel that his eyes blocked by black hair had been watching his every move.
In order to find out, he walked forward. Perhaps, on the back of this figure, is the truth he wants to see. He didn't want to do this, but he couldn't help it, he knew that the chances of being killed like this were more than he thought, but he was afraid of killing innocent people by mistake.
At this time, everything is very quiet, and I dare not look at each other with my eyes and risk myself; It was quiet and could only hear the sound of feet stepping on leaves. Time also seems to freeze for this, becoming an indelible shadow.
A strange feeling suddenly came to my heart, and it was because the person in front of me who was unknown in life and death moved.
This time, he saw the face of this person, who was the disciple just now. Although he saw his face, at the same time, it almost killed him.
This terrifying face suddenly raised his head to Zhao Yueheng, who was walking towards him, and his black hair naturally slipped to both sides. At the same time, three rusty flower needles quickly flew out of his mouth and shot towards Zhao Yueheng.
"Ding! Bite! Bite! Fortunately, Zhao Yueheng was always vigilant, holding a sword like a fan, and instantly blocked these three deadly poisonous needles. As a precaution, he swung his sword forward again.
"Wow~" A sword light burst out from the tip of the sword, and immediately shot through this terrifying figure. At this moment, a figure stood out from the back of the person in front of him, scurried towards the forest, and disappeared without a trace. The only thing left in front of him was the dead Bright Moon Sect disciple.
"Hahaha..."At this moment, terrible laughter suddenly came from all around. He had an ominous premonition, and this premonition came from the dead Bright Moon Sect disciple in front of him.
Everything turned out to be true, and his hunch was not wrong, not only was it not wrong, but it was also very scary.
For some reason, the dead disciple instantly turned into a pool of blood in front of his eyes and scattered to the ground. When you look at it, you can't help but feel like you're vomiting.
The methods used by this killer are really cruel, and he wants to solve this person instantly, but he is wrong, and he underestimates this person's strength. Zhao Yueheng held the meteor sword in his hand and chased after the man in black. Despite the laughter around him, he still stuck to his principles.
This is a bamboo forest, and the sound of the wind has disappeared in this bamboo forest. Perhaps, it was he who went to the depths of the bamboo forest, so it would be like this!
He looked around, not knowing where the man in black was hiding. Just as he turned to leave, the wind began to roar again, accompanied by that terrible and strange laughter.
"Who are you! Get the hell out of here! Zhao Yueheng looked at the swinging bamboo tips around him and said to the terrible laughter.
He expected this person to appear, but he was wrong. Although the laughter stopped, it brought him another terrible killing opportunity.
"Whoosh! Sou! "I don't know how many bamboo leaves, like darts, are coming at him from all directions.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yueheng's anger once again attracted a killing tide.
"Boom! Boom! "Zhao Yue Heng rotated in the air, and his swift figure was like a colorful mist. Under his sword, all the bamboo leaves were blocked from his body, and they were cut into four bamboos in the east, west, north and south directions.
When everything was still, he stopped. He looked around, but his sight surprised him. The bamboo leaves he had just blocked were not only cut on the bamboos in all directions, but also formed seven characters on each bamboo.
He knew it was a poem. And in this poem, there may be the identity of the man in black. So, he started with the seven words on the east side:
Ghost Bridge East tears,
The face jade burned the body and did not extinguish the soul.
The prodigy's heart palpitations are incomprehensible,
The monarch was hazy and worshipped.
After Zhao Yueheng finished reading the four sentences, he read it repeatedly. But soon, he figured it out.
"Hell... Face... God... "Jun" didn't expect that this person's name was actually connected by the first word of each sentence.
Zhao Yueheng smiled, looked around, and said loudly: "I didn't expect that in order to covet glory and wealth, your ghost-faced god monarch did not hesitate to be a lackey for that old devil of Tan Yang!" Knowing this, in the battle of Taifeng Mountain back then, Hu Xiaotian should not have left a way for Tan Yang to live, so as not to be taken advantage of by you lackeys and destroy my Mingyue faction! ”
"Hahaha...! Zhao Yueheng! Don't be cowardly. The Bright Moon Sect came to naught overnight, that is, your Bright Moon Sect's qi has run out, and it should have been like this a long time ago. This Divine Monarch came today with only one purpose, and that is the Pearl. I advise you to hand over the pearl obediently! Otherwise, when the sun sets, it's your time to die! When the time comes, don't blame this god for not giving you face. The sound came from all around, and it was so loud that it seemed to pierce Zhao Yueheng's ears.
"Pearl? Hahaha..."Zhao Yueheng seemed to feel ridiculous, and continued to reply to this terrible voice: "I don't know where did your ghost-faced god monarch know that the pearl is in me?" Don't you even know that Mingzhu is so important to you Ghost Face Divine Monarch? ”
"In the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, no one knows, who doesn't know that the magic weapon of your Mingyue faction is not the "Bright Moon Volume", but the pearl. What's more, the matter of the pearl has long been rumored in the rivers and lakes. You Zhao Yueheng pretended not to know, did you want to take this Shenjun as a fool? The so-called one who wins the pearl wins the world. Besides, the pearl is the dragon's thing, and getting the pearl not only commands the world, but also shocks all directions. This is what everyone knows, you still obediently come up for this god! ”
"The dragon is just a legend, how can it be taken seriously!" Looking around, Zhao Yueheng scolded fiercely: "You remnants of the Demon Gate, don't think about the common people in the world, but destroy the martial arts for a rumor, and the people of the world will be in fire and water." What does it mean to have a stinky skin and only know how to be self-sufficient, and to be self-sufficient! ”
"Hahaha..."Zhao Yueheng's invective made this terrible laughter burst out again.
"Horn! Trumpet! Trumpet! Trumpet! With the sound of laughter, the four bamboo cuttings with bamboo leaves exploded into countless pieces in an instant. Immediately after that was a figure, a figure with a red grimace mask, descending from the sky with that eerie laugh.
"I thought you were always just a nest rat with a hidden head and tail, and you didn't dare to show your true identity to the world, but you would only engage in some conspiracies behind people's backs to harm others, but I didn't expect you to show up. Still, you're disappointed because you're wearing this mask all the time. The reason why you wear this mask, I think the purpose is very clear, that is, to cover up your ugly face behind this mask, in case the world reveals everything about you! Zhao Yueheng looked at the ghost-faced god monarch in front of him, with a look of ridicule on his face.
"I didn't expect Zhao Yueheng, the world's most famous swordsman, to be able to say such a woman's words, which really disappointed this Shenjun! This former chivalrous demeanor is just blowing out of thin air, and it is in vain! The Ghost-faced Divine Monarch put his hands behind his back, looking very comfortable, only looking at Zhao Yueheng in front of him as air. He took two steps forward and said softly, "Okay!" This god doesn't bother to talk to you! As long as you can obediently hand over the pearl, this god monarch may be able to let you live. Otherwise, this Divine Monarch will crush your bones and scatter ashes today, and you won't even be able to do ghosts! ”
"The great traitor has always been arrogant, and this is why you will be defeated!" Zhao Yueheng stabbed forward with a sword, heading straight for the mask.
The electric current that came from nowhere, accompanied by a little white mist, shrouded the sword in Zhao Yueheng's hand.
"Bang!" After a while, the sword in Zhao Yueheng's hand exploded into countless pieces. Then, Zhao Yueheng was also attacked by the sudden force, knocking him back a few steps and crashing into the bamboo.
"Now that you are unarmed, what else can you use to oppose this Divine Monarch."
The Ghost-Faced Divine Monarch walked slowly towards Zhao Yueheng, and continued: "The so-called person who knows the times is Junjie. If it starts to be turbulent today, in order to help the world, haven't you Zhao Yueheng thought about it? The reason why this Divine Monarch didn't kill you just now was because this Divine Monarch remembered that you were a rare talent, so he would do so. As long as you can cooperate with this god, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. The world is so big, you can have whatever you want, not to mention the word fame and fortune? Isn't it a beautiful thing to exchange small for big? Why bother to hold on to the word fame and fortune to oppose this god everywhere? In this way, you will only be sent to death in vain, because you, Zhao Yueheng, have never been the opponent of this Divine Monarch. ”
"I said you would always lose because you were too arrogant of yourself." While Zhao Yueheng spoke, he had already used a large amount of internal force in his hand, and instantly slashed towards the ghost-faced god monarch in front of him.
"Smack!" A sword light suddenly fell from the sky, and before the Ghost Face Divine Monarch could dodge, he was already pressed under the blade of the sword by this huge sword light.
The Ghost-faced Divine Monarch regretted that he had underestimated the enemy too much. At this time, he knew that Zhao Yueheng had never used the knife from beginning to end, and at this time he knew why the person in front of him was so easy for him to defeat, that was to lure the enemy deeper, until the opponent ran out of energy, or when he was not vigilant, he instantly put the opponent on the verge of despair.
"Smack~!" Forced by his strength, the mask worn by the Ghost-faced Divine Monarch was instantly smashed into countless pieces. A miserable snort came from the mouth of the Ghost-faced God Monarch, and suddenly, a large stream of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The Ghost-faced Divine Monarch slowly raised his head, and a terrifying face that made people vomit appeared in front of him. Two huge eyes, uneven countenance, only the mouth and nose collapsed into the cheeks, revealing only the chilling teeth. Like the skeleton that is corrupting.
Zhao Yueheng's look also frightened him into a cold sweat for a while.
"What's the name of the knife you're making?" The Ghost Face Divine Monarch looked at Zhao Yueheng in front of him for a long time before asking.
"This knife technique is nameless because it is too ordinary. What is the difference between the name of the sword and the name of the sword? Looking at the ghost-faced god monarch in front of him, Zhao Yueheng said slowly.
"Nameless knife technique?" The Ghost-Faced Divine Monarch couldn't help but laugh miserably, and said, "I finally know why you didn't use this sword before, it's because you don't want to lose your life. As soon as this knife comes out, I'm afraid even the gods will be difficult to dodge. I don't use as much demonic energy as you do, and I feel sorry for myself. ”
"You're wrong! What you should feel sad is that you don't think about the common people in the world, but you are in the same league with the old devil of Tan Yang and help the abuse, which is the most unacceptable mistake in your life. The so-called evil does not prevail over good, and you will always lose because you have chosen the path you should not choose. With a hint of hatred, Zhao Yueheng said to the Ghost-faced Divine Monarch.
"Chose the path you shouldn't have chosen?" With a questioning look, the Ghost-faced Divine Monarch said to Zhao Yueheng in front of him: "If I choose the right path, will my face still become what it is now?" The reason why I became like this is because of my mother, who made me like this! ”
"Your mother?" Zhao Yueheng couldn't believe it, but looking at the eyes of the ghost-faced god monarch, it didn't seem to lie to him.
"My real name is Lu Aotian, I was born with a good skin since I was a child, with the effect of inviolability against all poisons, and I will recover instantly when I am injured, and I have been known as a jade-faced prodigy since I was a child. But the good times didn't last long, my father Lu Yuanjie lost my news when I was ten years old, and my mother Dilian tricked me into going to the ghost bridge to find my father in order to please me. With Lu Aotian's recollections, a clear picture came to his mind, and it seemed that he had returned to that terrible era.
