Chapter 21: The Demon Knife
There was a glimmer of light on the horizon.
The moment before the day is often the deepest part of the night.
In the dim jungle.
Yun Que grabbed the hilt of the knife.
At the same time, the demon claws in the knife body also pinched Yun Que's neck.
If the long knife that poked out the demon claws was still a knife, then Yun Que was in a strange state at this moment.
Yun Que held the knife, and the knife pointed at himself!
Yun Que's eyes were as red as blood, and he held the knife in one hand and the demon claw fiercely in the other, wanting to break it open.
However, the huge power on the demon claws was extremely terrifying, and it could not be shaken at all with the power of Yun Que.
That demon claw can easily kill the seventh-rank monks and seventh-grade martial artists!
"Go back...... Give me back! ”
Yun Que let out a low roar with difficulty, and the appearance of gritting his teeth was hideous and terrifying.
Click! Click!
A strange sound appeared, as if something was cracking.
Yun Que's gaze drooped, staring at the demon claw.
On the back of the demon claw's hand, a crack opened, like a mouth.
"Hee-hee-hee!!"
"Hahaha!!"
"Quack quack quack !!"
The rift twisted and wriggled like a scalp-tingling grimace.
In the weird laughter, a blood-colored vertical pupil opened above the mouth!
The moment the vertical pupil appeared, the blood in Yun Que's eyes became even more intense, covering the trace of clarity under his eyes.
Burst!
Yun Que directly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Blood stained the vertical pupils, slowly flowing like bloody tears, greedily devoured by the big mouth-like rift.
"Enough...... Get back! ”
Yun Que was almost roaring, and his voice was hoarse with extreme weakness.
But after devouring the blood, the mouth did not disappear, but emitted a strange human voice.
"You deliberately took that girl, did you fall in love with someone, this kind of flaw is terrible, demon hunters, the fewer flaws you have, the longer you can live."
The voice could not be heard by men and women, and it was like a ghost whispering in the barren forest.
"You have to take care of it! Get the hell out of here! Yun Que roared.
The mouth on the demon claw opened and closed again, and a sound sounded:
"If you want to help, call people out, and let people roll when you run out, you men are really ruthless, I haven't smelled the fresh breath of a living person for many years, that girl's Xuanyin body is a great supplement, hehehehehe!"
"As long as I don't die, don't think about it!" Yun Que roared.
"That's up to you, you don't have the strength and no sacrifices, what do you want me to go back, just come out to play, why be so afraid, in this world, do you still have any nostalgia, why don't we ruin the world together, hehehehe, quack!!"
In the strange laughter, Yun Que began to spin in front of his eyes, until he was filled with darkness.
In the jungle, Yun Que fainted.
Still clutching the hilt of the knife.
And his body began to change, with black hair and red one by one......
The laughter of the demon knife faded away.
Yun Que couldn't hear or see anything.
It was dark all around.
It was as if he had fallen into the Nine Hells, waiting for black and white impermanence to lead the way.
I did my best......
Yun Que sighed and shook his head helplessly.
It's good to be dead, it's a hundred.
Sooner or later, I'm going to die anyway.
As a demon slayer, who can die well.
Yun Que sat down in the dark, put his hands on his cheeks, and waited peacefully for death to come.
His thoughts stopped, as if the world had frozen.
I don't know how long it took, a ray of light appeared in front of me, and then spread out a world.
In front of you, there is a tragic battlefield!
Corpses are everywhere, and there is no end to it!
Once again, Yun Que saw the terrifying scene of hell when he was three years old.
There were stumps and broken bones all around.
There are no living people.
There are no living creatures either.
A wolf's head, larger than a yak, hangs from a towering tree.
Two bear paws the size of a basin are embedded in a boulder.
Thousands of white human skeletons were piled up into a mountain of bones.
Hundreds of long knives strewn across the gaps in the carcass of a two-man beast.
The mountain on the left side cracked in half, forming a canyon, and an eagle demon with more than ten feet of wings spread died on the top of the mountain, and the falling eagle claws were wrapped with dry monster pythons, like vines filling the canyon.
The small lake on the right was dyed red, without the slightest ripple, and there were tens of thousands of corpses floating on the surface of the lake, both human and demonic.
In the distance, a magnificent temple soars into the sky.
A blood-colored road paved with corpses connected the distance between Yun Que and the temple.
That's the demon capital!
The final destination of this epic battle.
When the vicious war ended, Yun Que didn't know.
Won or defeated, Yun Que didn't know.
Yun Que only remembered the only task of this trip.
Demon Slayer!
But his own knife had already been cut off, and he should have died in battle, but for some reason he was still alive.
This land of the dead is a nightmare that Yun Que has been lingering for all these years.
The light in front of me gradually dimmed.
The darkness closes back into a cage.
In the darkness, Yun Que's ears sounded his mother's voice.
"Live, Yun'er, you must live......"
Stay alive.
Stay alive!
Maybe it was my mother's advice, or maybe the cold rain was coming, and the little cloud woke up again.
Surrounded by barren grass and old trees, unfamiliar mountains and forests.
Rain cats and dogs.
There was no gentle smile from her mother, but a huge wild boar with a single horn, snorting like two clouds.
"Demon ......"
Xiao Yun Que raised his hand habitually, although there was no knife, he was still accustomed to making a chopping gesture.
Click!!
The boar demon fell with a bang, and its huge head was cut off with a single sword!
What killed the pig demon was a narrow black knife.
"Not my knife ......"
Xiao Yun Que whispered hard, he had never seen this knife, he only felt strange and cold.
"Now it's it, hee-hee-hee!"
A bloody pupil opened in the black knife, and a strange woman's voice sounded:
"From today on, I am your sword, and it is also your life, if you want to use my power, you must use the divine soul as a sacrifice, don't forget, if you don't sacrifice the divine soul, then you will be the last sacrifice, hehehehe!"
"My knife...... What's your name. ”
"When you are strong enough, you are qualified to know, weak master, is not worthy to call my name."
……
Inside the jungle.
More than half of Yun Que's black hair has turned red.
The demon claws poking out of the demon knife were gently stroking the half of the red hair.
"Sleep, my little master, next, it's time to change me, Xuanyin body, a real delicacy! Hee-hee, hahahaha! ”
The morning glow is already shining.
But he couldn't dispel the terrifying demonic aura that shrouded Yun Que's body.
The strange laughter in the forest came to an abrupt end after a moment.
Half a head of redhead, stopped the transformation!
And the reversal began!
In Yun Que's neck, a soft halo was undulating.
That halo is from Mu Qingyao's moon jade ornament.
"Soul Suppressor! Damn it! ”
The strange voice was full of rage, and raised his right hand to grab the necklace, trying to destroy it.
Boom!
Yun Que's left hand suddenly raised and grabbed his right wrist.
"There's still a sanity!" The strange voice was surprised.
"Get out! Return! Go! ”
A low roar came out of Yun Que's mouth, his left eye had regained clarity, and the blood in his right eye was still intense.
Once again, the confrontation lasted for a long time.
With the help of the power in the necklace, Yun Que finally suppressed the demon knife temporarily.
The claws retracted the blade.
All the hair turned black.
But the blood in his eyes could not dissipate for a long time.
Poof.
Yun Que fell on the grass, gasping for air.
"Sooner or later, I'll bury you!"
Yun Que scolded weakly, grabbed the long knife, and put it into the scabbard.
He wanted to bury the knife.
It's a pity that it can't be done.
It's not just a demon knife, it's also connected to your own life.
Can't give up, can't stay away, can't escape.
The knife is Yun Quan's life.
Facing the dawn, Yun Que raised the necklace around his neck.
Under the sun, the azure jade is like a layer of gold.
The carved feathers on it seem to be about to ride the wind and float into the distance.
"This thing, it's more than two hundred taels......"
In this piece of moon jade, there is the power to suppress the demon soul, how can it be a mortal thing.
Don't say two hundred taels, two thousand, twenty thousand can't be bought.
A true treasure!
Perhaps for others, the soul-calming power in the moon jade is dispensable, and it is more said that it is regarded as a thing that purifies the heart and concentrates.
But this soul-calming power is unattainable for Yun Que.
If there was no jade today, Yun Que didn't know what would have happened, but he believed that once the guy in the knife came out, he would definitely be ruined.
There was the sound of stumbling footsteps in the distance.
Mu Qingyao ran back in embarrassment.
Her face was stained with mud, her clothes were scratched by thorns, and she held a dozen or so small eggs in her two small white hands.
"It's a snake egg, washed."
Mu Qingyao carefully handed the snake egg to Yun Que and sat down with exhaustion.
Yun Que didn't say a word, and swallowed all the dozen snake eggs alive.
A little choked.
There was no water around, so I could only swallow it raw.
The snake egg entered the abdomen, and the blood color in Yun Que's eyes gradually dissipated.
The aura of the demon sword was all suppressed.
"Thank you." Cloud lacks a way.
"We've lived and died together, what's polite."
Mu Qingyao smiled, her smile was very beautiful, but her pretty face was so pale that there was no blood.
Then Mu Qingyao fell straight up.
"What's wrong with you!"
Yun Que hugged the other party and said in surprise.
After a closer look, he found that Mu Qingyao had snake teeth bite marks on the back of his hand, and the wound was black and purple, obviously poisonous.
"The Nine Star Snake, it is highly poisonous, I have looked for it nearby, and there is no detoxification of the piebald grass......" Mu Qingyao said weakly.
"You dare to steal eggs knowing that poisonous snakes are violent!" Cloud lacks a way.
"You saved me, how can I forsake you." Mu Qingyao said with a faint breath.
"You're stupid! Don't come back if you're gone! "Yun Que Dao.
"You are willing to fight to the death for me, so why should I go to the Yellow Spring for you."
Mu Qingyao smiled poignantly, like a pear blossom about to wither, snuggled in Yun Que's arms and said: "The red dust is like a net, we are all people in the net, just bury me on the mountain with flowers...... Yun Que, promise me, you have to live well......"
After saying the last sentence, he completely fainted.
"Red dust of bullshit!"
After Yun Que scolded in annoyance, he began to suck out poisonous blood from the wound.
The snake venom is too strong.
After spitting out a few mouthfuls, Yun Que's mouth was numb, and the poisonous spots on Mu Qingyao's arms were still spreading upward.
This kind of snake venom has little effect after emergency treatment, and it must be detoxified as soon as possible.
Yun Que found a strong hemp rope and wrapped Mu Qingyao's bitten arm to delay the snake venom attack.
Then Mu Qingyao was wrapped in wolf skin and tied behind him.
A living person with a quadriplegic is the most difficult to run with because the other party's hands and feet are weak and cannot grasp things at all.
It is easier to carry only when it is wrapped and tied up as an object.
Yun Que used the fastest speed of the eight-rank martial artist to run wildly in the forest and rush to the Hundred Jade City.
There is a famous doctor in Baiyu City, as long as you stick to the city, the snake venom can be easily solved.
Soon after,
A red swallow flew from a distance, landed on the branch, and stared silently at the corpses on the ground in the forest, its little eyes blinked, and it spread its wings and flew away.
