Chapter 45: Half-corpse
The cold light flashed, and another sword light came out, and with a soft sound, it seemed as if something in the sky suddenly shattered. Shi Cheng knew very well in his heart that it was the sound of the formation that had lost its core being completely shattered.
With this soft sound, the last remnants of the fog floating in this area completely disappeared, and Shi Cheng also saw the swordsman's figure clearly. He was dressed in white, and most of his face was covered by a dull iron mask, with only the nose below the nose exposed. He had a scabbard hanging from his waist, and the long, blue-glowing sword in his hand was four feet long. The swordsman didn't show much of his face, but Shi Cheng could tell from the white-clothed swordsman's bones that he was a young man slightly younger than himself.
"I am young, but the solidity of the Dao heart is so strong that even I sigh to myself, I really don't know what kind of experience this young swordsman has." Shi Cheng kept sighing in his heart.
The giant apes surrounding Shi Cheng and Wu Neng seemed to be enraged by the sudden appearance of the swordsman, but they still acted in an orderly manner without their leader, and the two giant apes continued to roar, rushing towards the swordsman like two hills, and the remaining six giant apes besieged Shi and Wu together.
"Just take control of your agency and protect yourself." Shi Cheng said to Wu Neng.
Wu Neng just wanted to ask, "What about you", Shi Cheng's whole person had already rushed out like an arrow from the string, the dead branch in his hand seemed to be dilapidated, but in Shi Cheng's hands, it was like a thousand pounds, and the giant ape that rushed up was hit by Shi Cheng and fell out of a hundred steps away, and a long wound appeared on his head, which was bottomless. Brains and blood gushed out as fragments of the skull. The giant ape roared unwillingly, and soon fell to the ground, dying of exhaustion.
Wu Neng was no stranger to this, whenever he felt that he saw Shi Cheng's true strength, Shi Cheng could always give him more "surprises", but the white-clothed swordsman on the sand dunes in the distance had a deep surprise in his eyes at this time, and the strength that Shi Cheng showed at this time was obviously something he didn't expect. He originally wanted to use a set of fast swords to force back the two giant apes in front of him and rescue Shi Cheng and Wu Neng first, but now that he saw Shi Cheng's strength, the white-clothed swordsman slowed down his sword moves with confidence, but the killing aura on the sword blade did not decrease but increased.
Although Shi Cheng killed a giant ape with one blow, he didn't dare to underestimate the enemy in his heart, the tiger's mouth on his hand holding the branch was still faintly painful, and the strength of this giant ape's body was obviously much stronger than he expected. If it weren't for the fact that the first giant ape to rush up underestimated Shi Cheng's strength and exposed his flaws, he probably wouldn't have been able to succeed in one blow so easily.
Shi Cheng strengthened his hand, and the true qi in his body swirled, and the branches in his hand were wrapped in true qi, as if it was like a long knife that could open the world. Shi Cheng's other hand was to sacrifice the Danhuo, and in an instant, the fire borrowed the wind momentum and the qi blade was vertical and horizontal. After more than a dozen moves, another giant ape died, a large hole was blasted out of its body, the wound was burned into black charcoal, and the upper and lower parts of its body were almost separated. Shi Cheng was still a little afraid in his heart, don't look at him now, but if these eight giant apes attacked him together in the mist array, it was still unknown whether he could withstand the sneak attack of these giant apes.
The other three giant apes who wanted to besiege saw Shi Cheng so brave, and they were all stunned for a while, these giant apes were quite spiritual, and when they saw that Shi Cheng was not easy to deal with, they turned their eyes to Wu Neng on the side.
Compared to Shi Cheng and the iron-masked swordsman, Wu Neng's current situation was extremely embarrassing. He controls four machine men and fights a giant ape. The four machine figures were already scarred, and Wu Neng was also stumbling under the crazy attack of the giant ape, dodging left and right with sweat on his head.
Shi Cheng slashed out with a true qi and stopped the two giant apes who wanted to rush towards Wu Neng, but there was still one giant ape that successfully avoided the true qi and rushed towards Wu Neng.
"Lao Wu, come up with some real skills! Is that all you mechanics can do? Shi Cheng's tone was a little anxious.
Wu Neng also saw the giant ape rushing towards him at this time, and secretly scolded Shi Cheng in his heart for not having a backache when he stood and spoke. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and had a painful expression on his face, and finally reached out and pressed a few times on the Hidden Heaven Box, a golden light flashed, and a set of quite powerful brown machine armor covered Wu Neng's entire body from head to toe, and Wu Neng's face appeared A strangely shaped brown blindfold covering most of his face, the part of the blindfold covering the ears and the back of his head was made of leather and metal, and the part covering the eyes was actually made of a strange-looking glass-like material.
"The energy of the Heavenly Machine Battle Armor is limited, I have to hurry!" Wu Neng thought to himself, and waved his hand to summon two more machine people, the six machine people besieged the giant ape that had fought with Wu Neng before, and Wu Neng swung his fist at the other giant ape that was rushing towards him.
After summoning the Heavenly Machine Battle Armor, Wu Neng's combat power suddenly increased exponentially, his whole body was covered with electricity, and there was already lightning and thunder around his right fist, and the whole person was like a phantom, easily avoiding the fist swung by the giant ape, and an uppercut hit the giant ape's jaw.
The giant ape who originally wanted to pinch the soft persimmon didn't expect that he kicked on the steel plate all of a sudden, and the roaring thunder and lightning instantly swept through its whole body, the giant ape roared in pain, and the huge body fell out and fell heavily on the ground, stirring up a piece of dust, and a thick smell of burnt paste quickly spread around the fallen giant ape.
The giant ape has not swallowed its breath at this time, it struggles to get up from the ground, but Wu Neng will not give it any chance, the heavenly machine battle armor can be connected to the user's will, Wu Neng's heart moved, and the six peculiarly shaped short spears inserted in the battle armor were all unsheathed, these short spears were covered by thunder, like the arrows shot by the gods in charge of thunder and lightning in mythology, and pierced through the body of the giant ape as quickly and incoherently. The roar of lightning striking the target continued to sound, and the unrecognizable giant ape fell completely with its mouth wide open.
Wu Neng checked the energy bar displayed on the blindfold, and after a big battle, the energy stored in the Heavenly Machine Battle Armor dropped by two percent, falling to less than five percent.
Wu Neng's heart seemed to be bleeding at the moment, since he left the sect, he had been wandering on the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't reveal his identity as a mechanic for his own safety, so it was not easy for Wu Neng to feed himself, let alone buy energy to charge the Heavenly Machine Battle Armor.
He hurriedly withdrew his armor, and seeing that the six machine men he had summoned in the distance had gained the upper hand, he took out a short knife from the hidden sky box and pounced on the corpse of the giant ape and slashed and slashed.
At this time, the battle on Shi Cheng's side was about to end, and he slashed out with an air blade, taking the life of a giant ape, and the other giant ape who was fighting with Shi Cheng saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned around and ran.
How could Shi Cheng let it get his wish, he lifted his qi, and in an instant, the branch in his hand split out six qi blades covered by Dan fire. The giant ape's soul was so angry that he wanted to concentrate all his strength on his legs for a while.
Just as the giant ape was trying to get rid of Shi Cheng's qi blade, directly in front of it, a long sword of Sen Han had broken through the air and flew towards it. It turned out that the iron-masked swordsman had already killed the two giant apes that intercepted him, and when he saw that the giant ape fighting with Shi Cheng wanted to run, he directly threw the long sword in his hand at the giant ape with all his might.
The sword came so fast that the great ape was caught off guard, and the whole sword plunged into its head in front of it, reaching the handle. At this time, Shi Cheng's Flame Qi Blade also caught up with it, completely ending its life.
The giant ape who was fighting with Wu Neng's machine people in the distance saw his companions die one after another, and a distraction was seized by the machine people. These people have a tacit understanding with each other, and the five people work together to break through the defenses of the giant ape. The sixth mechanic pounced on him, thrust the blade into the ape's heart with all his might. The giant ape roared angrily before dying, and with all the strength he had left, he hugged the machine man tightly and rushed towards a rock wall not far away. The machine man was torn apart by the collision, and the giant ape slowly fell down in front of the rock wall, and the two died together.
"Thank you brother for your help." Shi Cheng arched his hand and thanked the iron-masked swordsman who was walking towards them in the distance. The swordsman returned the salute, but said nothing.
Wu Neng on the side was chopping the corpse of the giant ape like crazy, Shi Cheng looked at him and asked curiously, "What are you doing here?" ”
Wu Neng grabbed his hair and shouted bitterly: "Ahhhh In the battle just now, in order to clean up this beast, I used two percent of my energy! Now I've got another mechanic...... No, I'm going to have to dig up all the Nedan of these guys and sell them for a good price to compensate for my loss! ”
"Then I'm afraid you'll be disappointed," Shi Cheng quietly looked at the fading black qi on the corpse of the giant ape, and said, "If my guess is correct, these giant apes should be half-corpses refined by people with special toxins, not ordinary monsters. Most of those archers were like that...... All in all, even if these giant apes had a Neidan, their Neidan would have already been corrupted in the refining process. Wu Neng, you may have to lose all your money this time. Speaking of this, there was a hint of schadenfreude in Shi Cheng's tone.
