In Jiang Yuan's room, the woman stared at the long knife piercing her body in a daze, as if she hadn't fully understood this scene:

"You...... Why do you treat me like this?"

Jiang Yuan slowly pulled the long knife out of the woman's body, glanced at the blade and said:

"There wasn't a drop of blood, and it didn't seem wrong. ”

"Childe is really smart!" the woman giggled, covering her mouth.

After finishing speaking, I saw that the woman's neck suddenly stretched upward, like an eraser getting longer and longer.

At the back, the neck had grown like a writhing python, and at the top was the woman's strange head, and the long black hair hung down, revealing the woman's green eyes between the hair.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee!" the woman's voice became sharp and eerie, and the two fangs sticking out of her mouth kept dripping mucus, "Childe is so bold, he doesn't seem to be afraid of me." ”

Jiang Yuan was still sitting on the bed, and he had been quietly watching the changes in the woman:

Thank you for reminding me that your appearance is so ugly, and that your appearance is all white bones under the skin, and there is no difference between your appearance and appearance. In the future, you must not be merciful because of your beauty!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan slashed the long knife in his hand towards the woman's snake-like neck.

The frenzied internal force clings to the blade, faintly glowing with a red-black sheen. The blade shook slightly, and the crimson-black internal force on it continued to swallow.

This move is the second style in "Crazy Knife Method" - horizontal knife slash.

"Let's take you to see if my Crazy Sword Technique will work for you!"

The blade slashed at the strangely writhing neck, and the tremendous force caused the woman's neck to be slammed out of an arc.

However, Jiang Yuan was keenly aware that the frenzied internal force on the blade produced a slight "whoosh!" sound at the moment when it came into contact with the woman's neck, and even the skin on the woman's neck seemed to be slightly damaged.

"It seems to have some effect, but this effect is ...... It's still too weak!"

The woman's laughter was still ringing, her neck was wrapped around Jiang Yuan's long knife like a snake, and swam along the blade, as if she was not afraid of the sharpness of the blade:

"What a lot of strength! A man with such strength must have delicious blood!"

While speaking, the woman's head had already swam in front of Jiang Yuan, she opened her mouth, the more she opened it, the bigger it became, the corners of her mouth had cracked to the root of her ears, and her mouth was full of long and sharp fangs:

"Hungry...... I'm so hungry! let me ...... Eat you!"

An exaggerated mouth emitted a strong rancid stench, and it bit towards Jiang Yuan's face door violently.

Jiang Yuan's eyes froze, and the tip of his tongue burst into his mouth.

Then, Jiang Yuan squirted out the blood in his mouth, and the magma-like blood suddenly sprayed the head and face of the woman who was close at hand.

"Ah——!h

The long neck released and the blade shrank back, and a blazing fire covered the woman's head.

Pieces of rotten flesh kept peeling off the woman's face, and in a short moment, only the eyeballs in the sockets were left in the bones of the woman's face, and as her lips were burned off, her fangs were exposed. At this time, the woman looked so terrifying that it made people's scalps tingle.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his left hand and grabbed the frantically writhing neck.

Then he put the long knife in front of his mouth with his right hand, and his tongue licked the blade, foaming with blood, and the blade quickly burst into flames.

The woman also realized the danger, and her neck twisted wildly, trying to break free from Jiang Yuan's hand.

Although the strength of this strange long neck was extremely strong, Jiang Yuan's strength was even greater, and his hand was like an iron tong, firmly grasping his neck without the slightest loosening.

"I love heads like this. ”

Jiang Yuan grabbed the woman's neck, pulled her head down in front of his eyes and said.

The flames on the woman's face had been extinguished, and she looked like a charred skeleton, and black smoke was still coming out. The remaining eyeballs in their sockets stared at Jiang Yuan with resentment and horror.

She couldn't seem to figure out why a living person seemed to be more ferocious than a man-eating demon.

Jiang Yuan was still looking at himself and said:

"I once met a head that resembled you. She made me grow by leaps and bounds, and I hope you don't let me down!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan slashed the long knife at the woman's head.

After the cut, the long knife did not stop, constantly stabbing into the woman's body or neck, trying to make the woman's whole body covered in flames.

The strangely long neck writhed wildly, like a wounded centipede.

This twisting became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a pile of black ash in the flames.

A ghost qi slowly rose and was devoured by Jiang Yuan without hesitation.

Then there was some disappointment on his face:

"I can feel my strength increase, but it seems to ...... This ghost is not enough. Wrong...... It's because I'm getting stronger, so I need more ghost energy to make my strength increase significantly. ”

At the beginning, a strange woman's head made Jiang Yuan difficult to parry, and after defeating it, his strength rose to a new level.

And the demon he encountered this time was on par with the strength of the weird woman's head at the beginning, Jiang Yuan was already able to solve it easily, but even if he obtained the same amount of ghost qi, it also made his base very large and his strength increased slowly.

Jiang Yuan thought about it, and walked towards the outside of the house with a knife.

He knew that there must be more demons waiting for him outside.

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Yuan stepped out, but there was nothing outside.

The procession to greet relatives, the red cabinets and sedan chairs, all disappeared.

The entire backyard seems to have changed from lively and festive to deep silence in a short moment, and it is terrifyingly gloomy in the darkness.

In the next two rooms, Lu Junsheng disappeared, and the old couple did not return.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the backyard with a knife and came to the front yard, the hall was also empty, and the ghost statue that fell on the altar seemed to be looking at him coldly. The fire in the main hall has not yet been extinguished, and it is obvious that the people inside have just left.

The yin wind was constantly swirling, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the entire river temple.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and was about to walk towards the outside of the River Temple.

At this moment, a small voice suddenly came from nearby.

The sound was like someone scratching a wooden board with their sharp nails.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at the side room where the black light went out on the side of the main hall.

He clearly remembered that when he first arrived at the River Temple, Yan Gudao was burning the corpses, and told him how many were still in that room.

Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the dark side room.

With a "squeak!", the door was pushed open by Jiang Yuan, and the smell of rotting corpses rushed to his face.

The room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, Jiang Yuan used a knife to pick his index finger, and a cluster of flames suddenly came out of his fingertips.

By the light of the fire, Jiang Yuan could see that there were several corpses lying on the floor in the room, they were men and women, their bodies were swollen and highly decomposed, and he didn't know if it was due to the fact that they had been soaked in the river or because of the Rotten Giant View.

And the creepy thing is that these corpses are writhing slightly on the ground, their teeth and nails slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The sound Jiang Yuan heard earlier was that of a corpse scratching the floor with its fingernails.

Jiang Yuan walked to the center of the corpse group and looked down at them.

And those rotting corpses also slowly opened their eyes, and their turbid and diffused pupils turned around in unison, staring at Jiang Yuan coldly.

"It's still so painful to die, so let me help you get rid of it. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan squeezed out blood from the wound of his index finger and dripped it on the bodies of those rotting corpses.

Soon the rotting corpse was burned to the ground, and the ghost qi was also absorbed by Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan had a clearer understanding of ghosts. This thing seems to come from demons, and it seems to be able to mutate the dead. If Jiang Yuan didn't have the ability of the flame form, then he might not be able to understand this kind of ghost qi.

This is only Jiang Yuan's general judgment based on experience, if he wants to know more about ghost qi, Jiang Yuan feels that he should first strengthen his understanding of this world.

After doing all this, Jiang Yuan didn't stop and walked out of the River Temple quickly.

"They went on their own...... Or are you dead?"

The carriage outside the temple is gone, and I don't know if Wang Li's family of three left by themselves or if they have been killed by demons.

The river temple is surrounded by the tall Jiuquan Mountain to the north and west, with the road to the east and the wide Xuan River to the west.

After leaving the river temple, you will see the rocky beach.

The moon looms in the thick clouds, and the river beach meets the road to the east, overgrown with reeds and weeds, swaying slightly in the night breeze.

Jiang Yuan looked around and saw a person standing faintly among the reeds beside the road.

The man stood still, motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Jiang Yuan raised his knife and walked towards the man, and when he got closer, he saw that the man was standing with his back to him. But with his costumes, it seems to be the scholar Lu Junsheng.

A white mist swirls over the reeds, like a gentle veil.

In addition to the smell of grass in the air, there is also a ...... Bloody.

Jiang Yuan pushed aside the half-human-high reeds, came behind Lu Junsheng and said with a smile:

"It's more exposed, and the night road is dangerous. I didn't expect Brother Lu to have such a good elegance, and he was here alone in the middle of the night to enjoy the beautiful scenery. ”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan's hand was already pressed on Lu Junsheng's shoulder.

Lu Junsheng trembled violently, he slowly turned his head, his handsome facial features looked a little distorted because of fear.

"Brother Jiang, Brother Jiang, it's you......" His tone was lowered, and he became a little hoarse due to fear, "Look ......"

Jiang Yuan looked in front of Lu Junsheng, only to see blood in the reeds.

The old couple had turned into cold corpses by this time. Their bodies seemed to have been eaten by wild beasts, and they were horrible to see.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of coldness.

He remembered that the old couple was brought out by a young girl in the welcoming procession.

I only heard Lu Junsheng say in a daze:

"We stayed together at the River Temple last night, and their grandson and granddaughter were lost during the night...... They are too old to move. I also helped them find a day in the neighborhood today...... I didn't expect it to be ...... now."

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, and the long knife in his hand tightened:

"Human Life...... Like a mustard!"

The scene of that night in Taiping Town seems to be vivid, and the world is so dark that it is ...... It's depressing.

Lu Junsheng couldn't bear to look at the remains of the old couple anymore, he clenched his fists and gasped:

"I studied hard in the cold window, in order to win fame and fame by the people, but it was difficult to repay Sun Shan's ambitions......! Can I still ...... What's the use?"

The night wind was howling, the grass was flying, and both of them were silent for a while.

In the deep night sky, the sound of suona sounded sharply.

The two turned around, only to see that on the road in the middle of the grass, the bright red greeting team carried a lantern and a sedan chair, slowly approaching the two in the drifting mist.
