Chapter 42: The Situation of Hostage
As soon as the tip of the huge sword was closed, the tanuki's chest exploded, and the blood plasma mixed with scattered minced flesh seemed to spray a thick layer of red mist.
"Kun Ka ......" Tanuki's cursing voice twitched, her bloodshot eyes stared at her scarlet eyes, and the tall figure stepped forward, her greatsword slashing a silver light in the twilight, and then swung it across the tanuki's dark and slender neck.
The head flipped a few times in mid-air, the eyes on the skull were still round like copper bells, and the body of the hard iron could not resist the huge iron sword after all, and what made the tanuki even more unsure was that he died under the surprise attack, and failed to make this ghost realize his power......
Originating from the scorching desert land, the evil spirit badger spirit civet died in Guangliang Town, Middle Earth of China.
The tall figure inserted the giant sword into the scabbard behind his back, tilting his head slightly, revealing half of his hideous face.
The big swordsmen in the birth room were not half surprised by the appearance of this tall figure, and Yi Raccoon even shrugged his shoulders and praised: "What a giant sword." ”
"As long as I kill this kind of thing with my own hands, I feel happy in my heart, but why?" The tall figure's expression was a little confused, and the crimson light in his eyes dimmed.
The fireworks and electric sparks all over the room suddenly dissipated, and Chi Tang patted the shoulder of the tall figure very affectionately: "Well done, Yijie." ”
The brave five warriors, now there are three of them in this small room, but among the three masters who shook the world, one is no longer human.
The giant warrior Zhang Yan, although he has not yet recovered his memory, has always been with him after all, closely following Chi Tang, who always has a sense of old knowledge in his opinion, when the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, he often appears in shape, or holds his head and thinks hard, or pacing and groaning, these many days, not to mention a few swordsmen in the early Ming Dynasty, even those timid homeless people in the homeless army have long been surprised.
The raccoon dog was brave and reckless, and all his thoughts were on the means of guarding against the two great divine beasts of Chitang and Han Li, who would have thought that such a powerful character with the world's best swordsmanship would be killed in the stabbing slash? Caught off guard, he was pierced through his body by Zhang Yan's giant sword, beheaded and beheaded, becoming the first demon spirit to be killed under the ghost body Zhang Yan's sword.
Zhang Yan nodded slightly to Chi Tang, which was a friendly response to his movements, but he didn't make a sound, walked outside, and looked up at the already dark sky.
The city has been lit with torches, like the same faint starlight in the sky, half a bright moon hanging obliquely, Zhang Yan suddenly let out a long sigh: "The night always makes me want to move, it seems that all the strength of my body has nowhere to exert it, and during the day, I am afraid of the sun like a timid gopher......"
"That's because you haven't found yourself yet, and I told you that it's the Blood Fountain Ghost Technique at work in your mind. Chi Tang followed Zhang Yan out, and said in a soft and relieved tone.
"This breath ......," Zhang Yan said about the smell of blood that had accumulated in the air for a long time, "it was obviously so tempting, but I was telling me in my heart that this was a smell that could never be tolerated......"
"I understand the drop, I understand the drop, my mother understands you......" This time it was Wushi who shook over with small broken steps, and muttered in his mouth, "Your body is a ghost, and your heart is like a human, of course the ghost thinks that human flesh tastes fragrant, but your heart like a human is preventing you from thinking about it, in short, it's a mother's skin that is very annoying, didn't I say it......?
Chi Tang kicked Wushi lightly, making him close his babbling and swearing, and at the same time looking at Zhang Yan's confused and incomprehensible face, he was also sad in his heart. In order to allow this former comrade and friend to recover the memories of his time as a human as soon as possible, he has been hesitating about the timing of going to the Rift Abyss Ghost Country, but one accident after another has made him hesitate.
Zhang Yan stared at the half-round bright moon hanging in the air for a long time, the light in his eyes flashed, and his head was tilted to the southeast, as if he was looking at the dark mountain shadow outside the city.
"I always feel like I should move more at night, do you mind if I go out for a while?" Zhang Yan's confused expression disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of excitement that he was eager to try, and he had also shown such an expression when he had just stabbed the civet.
"What's wrong?" Chi Tang was a little strange, but he just walked out of the room, and Han Li, who was more thoughtful, noticed the clue and interjected, "Did you find a new demon?"
"Demon?" Zhang Yan frowned slightly, and raised his hand to the southeast: "No! In the direction outside the city, there is a very slight but extremely familiar aura flow to me, I think, it must be the smell of something I have seen." ”
......
Next to the rubble in the room, the lean and dark body of the tanuki has curled up into a small ball, and the head that fell a few steps away has also changed into the shape of a dog or a badger......
Xue Yang strode in, looking at the empty house and couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, wasn't it here just now? Where did everyone go......?" Don't waste ......"
※※※
The light of the torches lit by a small queue meandered along the distant mountain path, fading into the twilight, and in the valley, the two men were still facing each other.
With a casual sneer on the corner of his mouth, Mr. Zeci squinted at the peasant with his eyes, as if he didn't take the other party seriously at all, but he knew that he was by no means as relaxed as he seemed on the surface. His attention was still more focused on the aura of the Qi Refiners coming from afar, and if those Qi Refiners didn't leave, he didn't dare to use his true skills, so he could only be awkwardly forced here by the villagers. And the other party's figure is as condensed as a pine rock, and a long sword with simple ornamentation in his hand is pointed at each other from afar, no matter which direction his body turns, the tip of the long sword is always preemptive, so that he does not dare to act rashly.
But where did he come from? Mr. Zeci muttered to himself in his heart, he didn't see the scene of this villager killing the pig demon at the gate of the city before, so he didn't know the truth of the other party, but the killing sword intent leaking out from the tip of the sword was not general, but he had to be careful.
"It's a rare opportunity to wait for you to be single. If I'm not mistaken, you sneaked into the fat knife man early in the morning and followed them all the way. As if sensing that Gan Fei and his party had disappeared from view, the villager suddenly spoke.
Mr. Zeci's heart moved, the other party even knew this? He was indeed entrusted by Yin Yu to find the place where Gan Fei and Qia Er were in the early morning, and it was also the time when Gan Fei set off on the road with the descendants of the village, out of caution, he chose the method of secretly observing the road, and specially left a safe enough distance. It's just that this plan came to an abrupt halt after a short time of tracking.
He was greatly surprised by the appearance of the demon of Fly Mountain, and temporarily left Gan Fei's team and turned back to the outside of the city to see what the Fly Mountain was doing, and when the demon slaughtered the city, he found that it was difficult to get out for a while, because a large number of Qi Refiners had laid a net of heaven and earth, and he was glad that he was fortunate that he was watching outside the city, and it was hidden enough to be discovered by the Qi Refiners. Because of this, he hid in the mountains for a long time, until most of the demons of Fly Mountain were annihilated and the qi refiners gradually dispersed, he cautiously appeared, and took advantage of the dark sky to drop out of the group of Qi'er who were hiding in the valley waiting for Gan Fei's return.
If he hadn't stared at Qia'er, but followed Gan Fei's words, then he wouldn't have come to the same conclusion as before, he didn't expect that the inconspicuous fat man was actually the demon slayer who had caused chaos in Pingtao City, because of his fear and vigilance of the Qi Refiner, he missed the opportunity to find out the truth, even in the confrontation with this villager, he was quite confused.
"Your aura is well hidden, and it seems that even the many fairy-like characters have not noticed you. But your breath can't hide from me, I've been paying attention to you for a long time, from the Yin family in Shaoling to this way to Luoyang, and now it's finally time for you and me to meet alone, a demon in human skin!"
The words of the villager made Mr. Zeci shocked, especially the words of the evil ghost in human skin at the end, which made his expression tense, staring at the villager for a long time, and sneering: "You have been paying attention to me for so long, but I have not noticed it, admire and admire." In that case, you must know what I am?"
The villagers looked at each other, and the long sword in his hand was lightly raised, aiming at Mr. Zeci's eyebrows, this action undoubtedly showed that he already knew it.
Those who exterminate powerful ghosts should break their heads and pierce their brains. This guy seems to know the trick of the Dao, Mr. Zeci's eyes lit up for a moment, but he picked up his hands neatly: "You know my body, but you find me in the twilight, and you are about to find me, don't you think you are asking for your own death? With all due respect, your swordsmanship may be very good, but you don't seem to have the spirit of a demon warrior, and you are brave and ruthless, and it has never been suitable for the contest between mortals and ghosts......" looked at the villager and thought about it again, and added with a deliberate smile: "...... Even if you have a broken body, you can't. ”
"I know how powerful you are, and I have seen your methods, even if I have cultivated another exercise, but with the skills that have not been completed in the past six months, I am indeed not your opponent. ”
Mr. Zeci was a little surprised by the frankness of the villagers, and he suddenly smiled: "You also know the way, so why bother ......?"
"And now it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...... "The villager coldly interrupted Mr. Zeci," ...... Speaking of which, the emergence of so many strange things today has led to the current situation. You're not afraid of me, but you're afraid of those people, those who can subdue demons and eliminate demons like immortals, and with these people, you won't dare to reveal your true colors, once they know about your existence, you don't need me to say more, right?"
Mr. Zeci's originally somewhat smug expression gradually became cold, and the other party completely saw through his scruples: "You're right, those qi refiners, I'm not afraid of one or two, but I can't stand the number of them, I don't want to lose my life in vain." But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you, although I don't know what you want to do when you appear in front of me, but as long as I raise my hand, I can kill you. ”
"I'm afraid you don't believe it yourself, if you really can deal with it with your hand raised, you won't be in a stalemate with me until now. The villager tilted his head at Mr. Zeci, and a sense of pride appeared on his face, "You said that you don't know what I want to do when I appear here, so I'll tell you." I'm here to kill something like you, and I can't talk about revenge or anything, but I know that your race shouldn't coexist with us, but it's a pity that I'm too late to know about things like you......"
"You want to kill me, don't you think you're joking?" Mr. Zeci's figure suddenly flickered, and in a blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the farmer, his halberd finger was like a blade, and it was pointed directly at the throat of the farmer. This was the limit of his current power, and he carefully controlled his body technique to ensure that it would not be discovered by those Qi Refiners.
The village farmer's long sword turned, and the fingers stretched out towards Mr. Zeci's halberd were cut accurately and quickly, obviously he had long known Mr. Zeci's body method, and this move came first, as if Mr. Zeci sent his fingers directly to the blade of the sword.
Mr. Zeci's heart was dark, he changed his tricks and retreated, his body had just slipped away, and the tip of the villager's sword was entwined like maggots on the tarsal bones. This was a temptation, and Mr. Zeci was not surprised by this result, and the other party was indeed not an ordinary person.
"Either you use your current state to fight me, or you will show your true body, but I can guarantee that once you show your true body, in those ...... You will never be able to kill me before the Qi Refiner you said arrives. I'll let you choose what to do with me, and you should be thankful that I didn't tell those people beforehand, and gave you a chance to settle one-on-one, and I think it's better to do it yourself. ”
"Who are you, and how much do you know about us?" Mr. Zeci admitted that the villager was right again, and that the other party was taking advantage of such a situation to hold himself hostage, which was really an extremely dangerous situation for himself, so he wanted to use a procrastination trick to see if there was any gap to take advantage of.
The villagers were not fooled, and when they didn't answer, the long sword was like a silver snake spitting out a letter, stabbing Mr. Zeci in the face.
This time Mr. Zeci was in a hurry, the other party's swordsmanship was really extraordinary, and he really couldn't deal with it with his deliberate forbearance, so he had to retreat again and again.
After a long fight, the sky was like ink, and the oblique moon rose in the west, reflecting this valley, only the sword shadow shimmered, and the silver light flickered, enveloping Mr. Zeci's short figure, and the farmer's hand accelerated, but his body was calm and abnormal.
Mr. Zeci's body was full of black energy, and the lightning and flint actually reflexively faced the sword blade, the villager seemed to be slightly surprised, the sword swept away, Mr. Zeci did not dodge this time, probed his hand and held it, when there was a sound, he had already grasped the long sword in his hand, and when the villager was anxious to draw the sword, it was like an iron clamp, and in a stunned, Mr. Zeci was covered in a blue-black light whirlwind, and it had been pasted in front of the farmer, and the mediocre face of the middle-aged man was weirdly cracked from it.
