Chapter 113: Fighting to Eliminate Demons
"Who disturbs my sleep?" the statue of the Heavenly King suddenly spoke, and a dull voice reverberated through the hall, shaking the dust and scattering it.
"There are ghosts!" Gu Wanxi was startled, and froze in place, not daring to move. Lin Yi turned his head to look, only to see the idol's eyes glowing, looking straight at him, his mottled face looking extremely gloomy in the darkness.
"Trap puppet?" said Black Hawk, hovering around it.
"Your Excellency is sacred?" Lin Yi asked calmly, pushing the door and lowering the wooden latch to prevent the mob from rushing in.
"Alasβ" The statue sighed and hummed to explain, "I used to be the spirit official of the Heavenly Book Mansion, and I was ordered by the peak lord to come here to exterminate demons half a year ago. Unexpectedly, the villagers had already been bewitched by the evil god and designed to destroy my body, leaving only this wisp of remnant soul to hide in the mud puppet and survive. β
Lin Yi wanted to ask again, but he heard a loud noise, and several villagers smashed the windows and jumped into the hall shouting. Gu Wanxi cheered up, raised her double hooks to meet it, and spun around to make several moves to block the thugs.
Gu Wanxi danced with double hooks, using the advantage of the blade, locking the firewood knife, and then counterattacking. The villagers lost their minds and only knew how to chop indiscriminately, and despite the large number of people, they couldn't take her for a while.
Lin Yi was about to go over to help, but just let go of his hand, there was a huge impact outside, the door latch bent violently, and he almost wanted to break, so he had no choice but to pour all his strength and push the door tightly.
A farmer took advantage of Gu Wanxi's parrying gap, went around her back, and slashed down with a knife. Seeing this, Lin Yi didn't care about anything else, and immediately felt his heart in an instant, stabbed out with light, opened the firewood knife in a volley, and then wiped it back, the blade swept over his throat, and cut off the bloody head.
"Bang!" At that moment, the gate was broken down from the outside by the mob, and dozens of farmers poured in, with gusts of cold wind, and pounced on them with knives.
Black Hawk shouted a reminder: "Beware, they're rushing in!"
"Bitter!" Lin Yi secretly said that it was not good, hurriedly turned back to meet the enemy, gathered his mind, and cast a light, a hazy bloom appeared, rolling diagonally in the air and shaving sideways, like a vast amount of snow, enveloping all directions.
Gu Wanxi fought fiercely for a moment, and finally eliminated the thugs, and when she looked back, she saw Lin Yi trapped in the enemy formation, the treasure knife in his hand was flowing like green smoke, and every time he swallowed, a villager fell, accompanied by a bloody arrow spraying!
"Awesome-" Gu Wanxi couldn't close her mouth and said in surprise: "What a righteous knife path!"
She saw the key, Lin Yi's upper body was straight, which was conducive to advancing and retreating, and when he slashed, the knife tendons were correct, and the point was stopped, never wasting half of his strength. If you are on the right side, you will sprain your wrist at the least, and at worst you will be bounced off by the enemy, exposing flaws.
It's easy to know this, but it's hard to do it!
Gu Wanxi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly rushed behind Lin Yi, leaning her back on each other to help him resist the fish that slipped through the net. In this way, Lin Yi only needed to focus on the enemy in front of him, and the pressure suddenly decreased.
Although there are a large number of villagers, in actual combat, they will occupy a lot of positions due to their weapons and arm length. So at the same time, at most three people surrounded him, and he had to worry about being accidentally injured by his partner, and the rest of them were all blocked outside the door, staring dryly and unable to do anything.
A thug swung a knife and slashed down, Lin Yi lifted it with a bare light, and opened it with the back of the knife, and suddenly heard a crisp sound. In the blink of an eye, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and continued to pursue.
The thug slashed back, the two blades exchanged in mid-air, and the firewood knife snapped and snapped; Lin Yi took the opportunity to go straight into his neck with a single knife, and the light slashed through his neck, tearing open a bloody wound. The thugs clung to the vital points and fell, and after a few flutters, they broke their breath and bled all over the ground.
It turned out that his force was unstable, so that the tendon of the knife was deflected, and he hit the back of the bare, and the countershock damaged the handle of the knife.
Gu Wanxi didn't know what had happened behind her, but she still fought by herself, enduring fear and killing several people in a row. Not willing to stand by, the Black Hawk took advantage of its stealth to harass the townspeople in a roundabout way on the flanks, drawing the attention of the townspeople.
"It's all to blame you outsiders for causing this town to suffer this great disaster!" said a farmer, raising his firewood knife and slashing at the top of her head.
Gu Wanxi raised the hook to parry and catch the firewood knife, but her hand suddenly slipped, and the single hook flew out. "Sister Gu!" Black Eagle screamed, and in an instant, its claws pierced the townsman's arm, pushing her several feet away, saving her life.
"Thank you......" Gu Wanxi gasped and was afraid.
Lin Yi heard the movement, glanced at it with his spare eyes, and just saw the single hook falling to the ground, and the handle was stained with blood, so he prompted: "Miss Gu, remember to take the time to shake off the blade, in case the blood fat soaks the handle, and the slippery hand can't hold it!"
"Good. Gu Wanxi nodded, taking advantage of the black eagle to entangle the enemy, raised another single hook, cut a collar, wrapped the palm, and then shook the bloodstains, and concentrated on attacking.
As he spoke, Lin Yi cut down several people again, put the back of the knife between his arms, quickly pulled it over, wiped off the blood, blew out the hot air, and slashed with the knife!
Time passed, the bright moon was sinking in the west, and one by one the thugs fell, blocking the gate to the ground, and the rest of the farmers could only drag the corpses away, so that the two people in the palace could take advantage of this rest.
Lin Yi raised the knife in his hand, cut through his armpits, knees and other clothes, released steaming sweat, and felt a little comfortable. Gu Wanxi looked back and saw that without saying a word, she learned from him and concocted it according to the law, and it was really a lot more enjoyable.
Lin Yi looked at the door intently, the heads of people were overwhelming, and they were in groups, killing so many by themselves, and they still didn't retreat, as if they didn't feel fear at all.
Hundreds of townsfolk with firewood knives and pitchforks glared at them viciously, and when the blocked corpses were removed, they immediately rushed up and rushed into the temple.
"It's crazy!" Lin Yi said angrily, and Hanguang slashed out head-on.
......
"Tick-tock. β
"Tick ...... Tick ......"
Blood slid down the blade, and the dawn light shone into the house, Lin Yi and Gu Wanxi sat on the threshold, and the corpses around them piled up into a hill, emitting a fishy smell.
The two of them didn't care about the bad smell, they both buried their heads, laughed silently, exhausted and drowsy. Gu Wanxi raised her head, and her emotions fluctuated: the first two times she got rid of the demon, the first time she was possessed by the cat demon, and the second time she lost her mind and stayed in the farmhouse. Until today, I learned that Lord Lin had rich experience in actual combat, and his sword skills were even more fierce and ruthless, and I felt very admired in my heart.
The black eagle lay on the ground, its wings stained with blood, but it was unable to get up. At this moment, the idol said indifferently, "Here we go." β
"What?" Lin Yi said blankly, and was about to turn back, when he suddenly saw the blood and water dissipating all over the ground, and the resentment was overflowing, and all the corpses of the townspeople disappeared mysteriously.
As the tide of resentment receded, the inside of the temple became clean, as if the battle had never happened last night.
Outside the door, the noise of people sounded again, and the townspeople all came to life and bustled towards the mountain road.
"Again?" Lin Yi jumped up, his legs trembling uncontrollably. The idol sighed, "Hey, how can this array be so easy to break. β
Lin Yizuo said: "The kid doesn't know the trick, so he asks his seniors for advice." β
"The local people have become one with the town. The stone sculpture was silent for a while, and Orr said: "Unless you can kill all the townspeople in one day, sooner or later, you will be like them, gradually swallowed by resentment and turned into dead souls." β
"Are they all dead souls?" Lin Yi muttered as his face turned earthy, "Kill all the townspeople in one day......
Black Eagle muttered: "It's over, it takes a lot of effort to kill a chicken, let alone so many living people?"
Lin Yi hurriedly asked, "Do your predecessors have any other methods?"
"I'm not in a rut, you're not a formation mage, you can only crack it with brute force. The idol replied gloomily.
Lin Yi was stunned for a long time, and Fang blamed himself: "Blame me for being reckless, I shouldn't have gone up the mountain that day." β
Gu Wanxi shook her head and comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, you are strong in martial arts, you will definitely be able to do it." β
"The kid will rest for two days and try again when he recovers. Lin Yi said tiredly, taking Gu Wanxi and Black Eagle with heavy steps, and walked down the mountain crookedly.
......
A few days later, two young men and women broke into the temple, and the townspeople cheered and danced around the brazier, one pulled the village woman to knock down and humiliate her, and the rest of the farmers rushed up with knives and slashed their heads.
Looking at the familiar scene, the man raised his long knife and smashed into the crowd, screaming and roaring endlessly.
......
"How many times?" Lin Yi asked himself, looking at the bones around him, and his mind felt a pang of pain. The Black Eagle landed on his shoulder and said weakly, "Thirty-four." β
The sun rose in the distance, Lin Yi's knees were weak, he knelt on the ground, his body was drenched in blood, his hands shook into a sieve, and he fell with a jingle of light.
"Miss Gu. He cried out in pain.
A few feet away, Gu Wanxi sat paralyzed on the ground, hearing Lin Yi shouting, but she didn't respond for a long time. Lin Yi screamed a few more times before she slowly turned her head and said in a trance: "Lord Lin?"
"Go back and rest. Lin Yi held his knees and stood up. Gu Wanxi was stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Good ......"
In the thirty-fifth round, Lin Yi tried his best to gather the townspeople and kill them all outside the temple, but there were still fish that slipped through the net. Seeing that it was dawn, he said in a dejected manner: "Miss Gu, let's go back." β
Strangely, no one answered.
"Wanxi girl?"
"Sister Gu!" Black Eagle also called.
Gu Wanxi turned her head like a puppet, looked at Lin Yi with a confused face, frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
Lin Yi's tired expression instantly froze at this moment, and he said in shock: "Miss Gu, don't scare me!"
"Who are you, why do you know my name?" Gu Wanxi took a few steps back, pulling away from her, her eyes a little panicked.
"Oops, Sister Gu is affected by resentment and is about to lose her mind!" Black Hawk screamed, but his voice stopped abruptly.
"Qin ...... Girl?" Lin Yi's heart pounded, and his face gradually darkened.
"Chirp-" The Black Hawk forgot to answer, and instead let out a long chirp, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, gliding away.
"Strange man, actually talking to an eagle. Gu Wanxi pouted, raised her hand and pinched her collar tightly, didn't even glance at the double hooks on the ground, turned around and left quickly.
Lin Yi stood in place, his eyes glazed and his lips pursed, but he couldn't spit out a single word.
"Boy!" the stone statue shouted from inside the temple, and buzzed, "Leave them alone, you quickly find a way to run for your life." β
......
The next morning, at the foot of the mountain, at the white fog, Lin Yi weighed the treasure knife in his hand, his eyes looked at the top of the mountain with gloomy eyes, and his expression became more and more distorted.
Suddenly, he took a step and walked slowly towards the town, and said indifferently: "Leave no one behind." β
In the warm spring breeze, there was a bit of chill.
