Chapter 565 The Boy Who Shepherds the Dark Snake
"You don't have to be afraid of the figures on this altar, these are like mirages. Duan Yu said.
"What is a mirage?" Kurokawa Mo, the Supreme Elder of Shenxiao Palace, was immediately stunned.
Duan Yu thought for a while, this is indeed the statement of later generations, he once heard in Pu Songling's story of Liaozhai, and in ancient times, this phenomenon was called "ghost market".
Without saying much, Duan Yu pulled out the Demon Breaking Sword behind his back, and used his internal force on the blade, ready to fight at any time.
As for the Qingfeng Slashing Sword and the Golden Sword, they were not in a hurry to pull them out, after all, Duan Yu planned to leave his left hand empty and adapt to the situation.
Most of the dangers that Kurokawa Mo has experienced over the years have encountered powerful demon beasts, and he has never seen such a strange scene. But when I saw the figures on the altar, they looked quite religious. The surrounding figures were meditating in a weeping voice, chanting ancient and obscure incantations. The dozens of people in the middle who were doing a fairly ancient dance were wearing demon masks, and there were many demon beast feathers on top of their robes.
What is even more terrifying is that these people's hands and feet are covered with blood and many complicated runes.
The old man can also understand that this is just a sacrificial scene that happened a long time ago, and then its phantom remained. Kurokawa Modao.
After thinking about it, Kurokawa Mo immediately carried the narrow purple-red battle knife, flew over, and directly slashed it over, intending to use the sword carrying the power of thunder to destroy all the phantoms in front of him.
"Snort~" The power of thunder above the sword spread, and a brilliant purple light appeared in front of him.
The strange figure was gone, and the altar still stood silently in front of me. And the ancient sacrificial songs, like Sanskrit singing, still linger around.
Duan Yu and Kurokawa Mo immediately flew onto the altar and placed themselves there. It's as if you've gone back in time like a long time ago. It may have been an era of slash-and-burn farming and blood-drinking.
"This altar is the only one in this stone forest that is the most special. Could it be that the so-called treasure of the land of Kyushu is hidden in this altar?" Kurokawa Mo muttered.
"I don't think you can bombard this altar at will, otherwise there is a risk that something unexpected will happen. Duan Yu said.
Both of them knew that in such a place, they could not act carelessly and arbitrarily, so they both stood quietly in place, carefully perceiving the surroundings.
The surrounding light is dim, and most of the situation needs to be perceived by divine sense, but the cold air here. It's as if even the divine consciousness can condense.
Suddenly, in the thick mist, there was a faint blue light flickering, and a thick fishy smell surged.
When they got closer, there were more than a dozen strange snakes, but each of them was more than twenty feet long, covered with dark green and black scales, and had a single horn and bulging sarcoma on their foreheads.
The strange snake's eyes flashed with a ruthless gaze, and he came at Duan Yu and Kurokawa Mo frantically slaughtered.
"Good fellows. The old man is worried that he can't find the guardian demon beast here! You send them yourself, it's really a way to heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell for you to vote for. Kurokawa Mo laughed, and swung the purple red sword to slash away.
There is no expected shun lì. The purple-red sword slashed at the seven inches of the strange snake, and it only sparked, above its dark green scale armor. It left a white mark, but it was not seriously injured.
See this. Kurokawa Mo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and several strange snakes suddenly entwined past. And they all open their mouths of blood, and the positions of their attacks are all the key points of Kurokawa Mo. He didn't expect that such a few strange snakes could make him feel a deadly threat in such a short period of time.
Kurokawa Mo exerted his body speed to the extreme, and the power of thunder was surrounding, so that he could keep himself safe.
Duan Yu on the other side didn't think of such a wolf bèi, because he had quite a lot of experience in fighting large demon beasts, and the evil qi contained in the Demon Breaking Sword had an instinctive restraint for such a demon beast full of gloomy aura.
Duan Yu found that these strange snakes actually had a very weak sense of their surroundings, and they relied on their brilliant blades to accurately find the opponent's location, otherwise they would not be able to attack the opponent's vital point quickly every time. After all, the strange snake is not a martial arts master, and he doesn't really understand the key points of people. Duan Yu tried his best to restrain the light of the Demon Breaking Sword, flickering around with the Freedom Wind Technique, and when he had to find a good time to make a move, he picked up the Demon Breaking Sword and slashed down decisively, the dazzling dark purple sword flashed away, and the head of a strange snake was cut off.
As long as it is done in one go, its scale armor defense is nothing, and if it falls into passivity, most of the attack power will be removed, so Kurokawa Mo is in vain.
"Attacks like mine are effective, so learn something. Duan Yu smiled lightly.
Kurokawa Mo struggled with the strange snake while watching the battle situation on Duan Yu's side, and after a while, he also understood the mystery. If you don't make a move, the sword will be dim, and once you make a move, the power of purple and red thunder will burst out on the sword, and you will be killed mercilessly, and the strange snake will all die.
A moment later, they had slaughtered a dozen or so giant snakes with sarcomas and horns on their heads.
A cold wind blew by, and the corpses of the strange snakes all disappeared, turning into wisps of black smoke rising in the night sky, so cold and fierce.
Only the smell of fish and blood still remained in the air, indicating that there had been a vicious fight here before.
"We'd better just wait at this altar, for what should come will always come. Duan Yu smiled lightly.
"The old man understands what you mean, it's really a hero's vision. If we walk around in this labyrinthine stone forest, we will fall into many unfavorable situations. Waiting at the altar, but waiting for work, the guardians are killed one by one. Kurokawa Mo nodded in admiration.
"I'm afraid that we won't be able to hold out to the end, if you brought a few more Void Realm powerhouses from the True Martial Land to come at that time, our chances of victory might be much greater. Duan Yu said.
"Hey, the treasure of the land of Kyushu, this is a big secret. How could our Shenxiao Palace be stupid enough to publicize it?" Kurokawa Mo said.
While they were talking, the sound of a bell suddenly came from the cold night sky.
The sound of this bell is not as irregular as the wind chimes that ring with the wind, just like the bell of the spirit, which makes people feel creepy.
An emaciated young man in a shabby black robe, holding a bamboo pole in his left hand and a small black bell in his right.
Duan Yu looked at him deeply, but when he saw this emaciated young man standing in front of him very coldly, he was like a deaf and dumb person. Looking at his cultivation again, he can't see the depth at all.
"Could it be that the Qiē Guardians who appeared around this altar are all hidden?" Duan Yu felt a pang in his heart, and suddenly felt a sense of tranquility.
"Little beggar, don't pretend to be a ghost, this altar is not the place you should come, it's better to hide. Elder Heichuan Mo of Shenxiao Palace said in a deep voice.
The emaciated young man in a shabby black robe, who turned out to be not a deaf and dumb person, suddenly raised his head, stared at Kurokawa Mo with eyes like dead fish, and said coldly: "Many of the snakes I shepherd are running in this direction, I don't know if you have seen it?"
Duan Yu and Heichuan Mo were both a little surprised in their hearts, it turned out that the strange snake they killed just now must have been the dark snake domesticated by this beggar-like young man. Killing the serpent raised by others is unreasonable.
Both of them pretended to be calm, and Hei Chuanmo actually asked Duan Yu directly: "Duan Shaoxia, can you see the so-called dark snake?" The old man stayed here for a while, and he didn't seem to see any demon beasts!"
"Yes, I didn't see anything, so let's help find it. Look how pitiful this young man is!" Duan Yu actually pretended to say.
Both of them felt very funny in their hearts, but in such a strange situation that was close to the land of the dead, it was better to keep a low profile and be careful.
"Hateful foreign warriors, you have to deceive. I already feel the blood of my serpents on your swords. Tell me, how many snakes have you killed?" said the black-robed young man in a cold voice.
"Hey, sixteen of them were killed. Duan Yu had no choice but to say truthfully.
"Then pay it back with your souls. The black-robed young man suddenly turned into a shadow and flickered.
With the strange sound of bells, Duan Yu only felt that his soul was about to leave his body and fly out in such a short time. He quickly gathered his mind and made his mind extremely tenacious.
The black-robed young man used the bamboo pole as a weapon, and when he waved it, he conjured up a colorful light.
His strength was not enough to deal with the combined power of Duan Yu and Kurokawa Mo, so he suddenly summoned more than a hundred large dark snakes out of nowhere to resist Kurokawa Mo.
Even if Kurokawa Mo had found a good way to kill the Dark Snake just now, these large Dark Snakes had greatly increased their defense and attack, and there was still a large amount of Netherworld Qi around their bodies, which could defuse most of Kurokawa Mo's attacks.
Duan Yu fought against the black-robed young man alone, feeling quite stressed, and he didn't dare to retain his strength anymore, so he held the Qingfeng Slashing Sword in his left hand and the Demon Breaking Sword in his right hand, and used his best trick "Sword Double Kill, Ninety-Nine Eighty-One Style".
In an instant, Duan Yu's body was flooded with dazzling sword aura, complex and exquisite.
Duan Yu's perception of martial arts is another layer deeper, after all, against such a strange master, every moment, Duan Yu's spirit is highly concentrated, and in his divine sense, the way of the sword and the way of the sword are constantly deduced. Many tricks that I didn't think of at all before are coming out at this moment, just like a stroke of genius, and there is no trace to be found.
"What a powerful sword, you are much more powerful than the warriors who came here before. What's your name?" said the black-robed young man suddenly.
"I don't change my name, I don't change my surname, I don't change my name, my name is Duan Yu. "Regarding the name, of course, Duan Yu is happy to say, after all, every martial artist has the consciousness of fame. (To be continued......)
