Chapter 172: Return to the Sect
The surrounding dirt parted like waves, and the moment it rushed from the ground, the roar that had been like nothing suddenly became loud and clear.
"Whew!"
Almost at the same time, there was a sneering sound in my ears, as if something agile had swooped down from behind me.
"Huh?"
Yang Ji frowned slightly, his eyes were cold, he didn't want to think about it, the bloodthirsty sword was in his hand, and he swept it reflexively. Almost at the moment when Yang Ji turned around, a monster with a white body and a vicious shape, like a human being, passed by and threw himself on the ground.
A hideous skull with yellow fangs flew high and landed on the ground. And the body of the lost head, after a blow, actually stood up again, and after the two miserable white claws scratched in the void a few times, and could not find anything, then fell to the ground tremblingly.
"What a strong vitality!"
Yang Ji's eyelids jumped, secretly surprised.
The scene just now left a very deep impression on him, he had never seen such a thing, and after his head fell off, he could still stand up.
And after cutting off its head, there was no blood spurting out of the severed neck.
"What is this, I don't think I've seen it before?"
Yang Ji kicked the monster's corpse, and after making sure that the monster was indeed dead, he had time to look at the head that had fallen aside.
This skull is covered with skin and bones, it looks vicious, hideous and terrifying, like a human head, but Yang Ji can be sure that no one will look like this.
No one looks like this, and it's impossible for a human to stand up after his head has fallen off, and his neck doesn't bleed.
"It's weird. ”
Yang Ji was secretly surprised. I have seen all kinds of fierce beasts, fierce beasts, spirit beasts, and I have also seen ancient creatures such as ancient armadillos. But I have never seen anything like this with a strong aura of death and darkness.
In particular, there is a rotten and fishy liquid all over its body, and it is disgusting to smell.
Suddenly, Yang Ji's heart moved, and he seemed to remember something in his mind.
"Huh? This ...... How does this kind of thing look like the evil ghost that Senior Brother Zhao said. Isn't this a creature of the underworld? How could it be here?"
Yang Ji looked at the corpse on the ground and was surprised.
It's not too far from Langya City, and it's amazing how many creatures from the underworld appear in this kind of place.
"Didn't Senior Brother Zhao say that there are two sect disciples who seem to have been killed by evil ghosts, but they can't be sure yet. Could it be true? But Ten Thousand Graves Ridge is so far away from here, how can there be an evil ghost from the underworld running here?"
Yang Ji was surprised.
Almost instantly, Yang Ji immediately realized that when the martial arts examination was held, something big might have happened. It's no small thing that creatures from another world are in the world.
Judging from the appearance of the evil ghost of the underworld just now. If it is present in a crowded bazaar, it will definitely cause great damage.
"Whew!"
The mountain wind was howling, Yang Ji raised his head, and it was at this time that Yang Ji found that at some point, the sky was slightly dim, and there seemed to be a faint, veil-like dark cloud surging from the northwest in the depths of the firmament.
But Yang Ji is sure. It was by no means a dark cloud.
"Who?"
Yang Ji's face changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around and looked at his right hand and put it down. At the same time. With a buzz, the bloodthirsty sword flew up, levitating in the void, and the tip of the sword burst out with a killing machine.
"No, don't kill me......"
A weak voice came, more than ten feet away. Under a large tree with lush foliage, there was a loud bang, and a thin young man in simple clothes slid down from the trunk of the tree.
"I, I have no ill will. ”
The thin young man looked at Yang Ji and waved his hands. His eyes were full of fear.
"So you attracted that demon. ”
Yang Ji was clear, and with one palm in his hand, he immediately withdrew the bloodthirsty sword.
Evil spirits don't appear here for no reason, and now it seems that it is possible to be attracted by this young villager.
"I, I'm living in the village to the north......"
When the thin young man saw Yang Ji withdraw his long sword, his expression relaxed a lot, swallowed his saliva, and said boldly:
"This thing is amazing, I don't know,...... I don't know if I can ask you to help us. I'm afraid these things will be bad for us. ”
The emaciated young man finally said what he wanted, and it was actually a nearby villager.
"I see. ”
Yang Ji nodded: "Don't worry, I'll go." ”
The evil ghosts of the underworld were found so close to Langya City, even if the other party didn't say it, Yang Ji would go and see it. Search to see if it's the occasional one, or if there's a lot of them.
"Go, you show the way. I'll take you away. ”
Yang Ji grabbed the thin young man, cast a floating body method and shot away, and quickly disappeared into the mountains.
With Yang Ji's current strength, thousands of catties of things can be lifted lightly, let alone just bringing a person.
In just a few moments, Yang Ji arrived at the village that the thin young man had said. It is a small village built deep in the mountains, with more than a dozen houses lined up one after another.
When Yang Ji rushed over, the doors of every house were closed, and there were women's exclamations.
And on the street, two evil spirits of the underworld are attacking a farmer.
didn't have time to think about it, Yang Ji used the floating body method to the limit, whoosh! The long sword swung, the blood flashed, and the bodies of the two evil ghosts froze, and they fell to the ground without even saying a word.
"You go in first, I'll take a look around. ”
Leaving these words, Yang Ji's body shook and left the village. In the nearby woods and rocks not far away, Yang Ji found two wandering demons of the underworld.
After killing them one by one, it was determined that there were no other evil ghosts nearby, and Yang Ji left with confidence.
"What the hell is going on?"
Yang Ji was puzzled. I have lived in Langya County for many years, and I have never seen these things before. Even the word "evil ghost", Yang Ji heard it from Zhao Hua after joining the Iron Crown Sect.
"I hope it's not too much......"
Yang Ji said secretly in his heart.
Due to the appearance of these evil ghosts, Yang Ji completely changed his plan and used the floating body method to go all the way north.
Along the way, Yang Ji encountered several evil ghosts from the underworld. After killing them one by one, he made a special detour to save several villages.
It must be said that it is fortunate that because it is in the middle of the reckless mountains, there are very few villages like the ones encountered before. However, there are some sects like the Iron Crown Sect.
This also makes the appearance of these evil spirits not cause much harm and turmoil.
Yang Ji suddenly remembered the previous battle with Yang Xuanlan, and his heart moved, and he immediately seemed to understand something.
"Yang Xuanlan didn't have time for half a cup of tea. I left in a hurry, is it because of this incident......"
Yang Ji lowered his head and thought thoughtfully:
"It's not a trivial matter that creatures from the underworld actually appear in Langya County. If something goes wrong, Yang Xuanlan can't eat and walk around. It seems that this is really possible. ”
"Whew!"
When the mountain wind hit, Yang Ji raised his head, only to see that above his head, the mist-like "shadow" in the depths of the sky had deepened a lot. The void smells of darkness and evil.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Yang Ji felt that the plants around him also looked slightly wilted. It doesn't have the same vigor as spring plants.
"Maybe I'm thinking too much. ”
Shaking his head, Yang Ji suppressed his thoughts and went all the way over the mountains and mountains to the Iron Crown Sect.
Along the way, the further north you go, the more underworld creatures appear. After climbing hundreds of miles of mountains and killing dozens of wandering demons of the underworld, Yang Ji finally reached the border of the Iron Crown Sect after about three days.
Look at it from afar. The mountains are standing, and a golden hall is flying mast and arching. The corners peek out from the mountains and point to the sky.
"It's finally here. ”
Yang Ji stood on the tall peak, looked at the incense in the distance, and smiled slightly.
After so many days, I finally returned to the sect.
"It seems that the sect is still relatively calm. ”
Yang Ji secretly said in his heart, and was about to unfold his body and return to the Iron Crown Sect. Suddenly, I heard a woman's scream:
"Ahh
"Help!-"
The screams were mixed with the sound of a fight.
"Huh, someone!"
Yang Ji's eyes flashed, and he immediately followed the voice and looked over: "It seems to be in the stream." ”
The waterfall of the Iron Crown School flows rapidly every year, pouring down from the mountain, and has long since rushed out of the mountains with a twisting and winding, jade-belt-like stream.
Yang Ji glanced at it. It felt like the sound was coming from the other side of the stream. It's just that the mountains are scattered, the terrain is complex, and some pines, cypresses and bamboos are covered, so I can't see clearly for a while.
"Go over and see. ”
Yang Ji unfolded his body, jumped directly from the mountain peak. After falling a few zhang, fold on the raised rock of the cliff, reduce the speed of falling, and then do a somersault, after about three or four zhang, the sole of the foot stepped on a pine branch stretched out, and then shot several zhang one after another, and finally inserted a long sword horizontally in the rock, and easily fell back to the ground along the cliff.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji stretched out his sleeves, like a big bird flapping its wings, stepping on the bare gravel on the stream, and flew over. Bypassing a raised rock, Yang Ji immediately saw three young men and women.
These three people Yang Ji are very unfamiliar and have never seen them. However, they were wearing the robes of the Iron Crown Sect, and they were sweating profusely from the battle with the five-headed demons, and they were all covered in color.
The martial arts of the three of them are okay, but there are too many evil ghosts around. In particular, the female disciple obviously had a natural fear of the disgusting appearance of the creatures in the underworld, and she couldn't do anything at all.
The three of them are entangled by five evil spirits, and they are in danger, and they don't know how long they can hold on. All three of them have been wounded.
"Senior brother, help us!"
The three of them fought and retreated, and the beautiful female disciple had sharp eyes, and at a glance she saw Yang Ji who suddenly appeared.
"Huh!"
Yang Ji smiled and came back to his senses. The sword qi suddenly rose, and a rainbow light flew out from Yang Ji's waist, twisting and turning around the three of them like lightning, and soon returned to Yang Ji's hand.
"Alright. ”
Yang Ji stretched out his palm, caught the bloodthirsty sword, and smiled slightly. (To be continued......)
