The palms of the four arms of the man slaughtering animals were formed with one hand each. The light between the eyebrows on the forehead was strong. In just one breath, the body of the remnant soul protruding between the eyebrows broke out of the skin and smiled ferociously at the young man.
Gu Xiao looked at the monster between "He Kui's" eyebrows. It was about the thickness of two fingers and looked like a human face. When it smiled ferociously, it showed a mouth full of fangs. It was laughing wildly at him, as if he had become his prey.
"Boy, I said, if you damage my body, you will use your body to repay..."
After the main body finished speaking in a hoarse and rough voice, he twisted the main body with his eyebrows raised. He Kui's body was like a puppet on strings, pacing towards the young man who was struggling to support his body.
It's not that this remnant soul doesn't want to take over Gu Xiao's body quickly, but that the long battle with He Kui Can Nian and the fierce battle with Gu Xiao made the remnant soul equally weak, but compared to Gu Xiao, it is still better. Quite a few.
Trying his best to keep his body up, Gu Xiao stared at the remnant soul that controlled He Kui and moved towards him. He kept scanning the spherical hidden weapon that Miss Jiang left for him with his peripheral vision, quietly waiting for the best opportunity to take action.
"Jie Jie... A blessing in disguise, it's a blessing in disguise. Compared to this He Kui, you are younger and have a higher martial arts level... Don't worry, I will make good use of your body..." exuding As Wu Mang's body spoke, it had already approached the young man more than ten feet in front of him. Seeing the young man's face sinking like water, his starry eyes seeming to shine with despair, he couldn't help but laugh wildly.
Seeing the remnant soul raising its snake-like body and laughing wildly, the young man's already dim starry eyes flashed, and he secretly said: "It's just the right time."
Following the movement of his heart, Gu Xiao's mind was fixed, and he summoned up his remaining internal strength and stepped out of the snow, aiming at the spherical hidden weapon embedded in the snow.
Seeing that the young man still had enough energy to escape with his light skills, the demon himself thought that the young man had no other choice but to escape with his life. His dark eyes were filled with pride, admiring the death struggle of his prey.
Until his eyes followed the direction of the young man's leap, his proud eyes finally changed. The half-spherical object exposed outside the snow made the demon's body uneasy. . . He immediately dispersed his hands and used the finger gestures in his hands. He immediately condensed the weapon and threw it at the young man's leaping figure.
Sooner or later, the sound of weapons piercing the air reached Gu Xiao's ears. He knew that the danger behind him was approaching, but the hope of defeating the enemy lay in hidden weapons, so he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Relying on his inner strength, Gu Xiao turned around and took out his palm, hoping to use the wind of his palm to deflect the incoming weapons. Unexpectedly, although the ax was not sharp, the sword was fierce. Gu Xiao was exhausted and weak at this time, and was penetrated by the long sword. Entering the shoulder blade, the remaining strength of the sword still carried the young man down on his back.
It was precisely because of the remaining power of the sword that Gu Xiao, who was still some distance away from the hidden weapon on the ground, fell on his back into the snow. Looking sideways, he saw that the spherical hidden weapon was at hand, ignoring the severe pain in his left shoulder from being pierced by the long sword. , reached out and grabbed the hidden weapon in the palm of his hand.
When the man slaughtered the animal saw that the young man was willing to pounce on the hidden weapon even if he was injured, and saw that he had already obtained the object, his heart trembled. Although he did not know what was wrong with the spherical shape, his uneasiness told him that he could not let the boy succeed, so he immediately used evil skills. Raise your palm and wave it far away.
Except for the long sword that penetrated the young man's shoulder blade, the remaining weapons instantly dispersed into the form of internal energy, gathering towards the palm of his hand. At the same time, his body followed his heart and jumped towards the young man quickly.
Seeing his opponent leaping towards him, Gu Xiao hurriedly followed Jiang Ningxue's instructions and channeled his full internal energy into the hidden weapon. When the internal energy was about to enter, he suddenly felt a monstrous sword intent in the ball and instantly hit his body, pulling all the weapons he had previously held. Suffering internal injuries, Gu Xiao's vision suddenly went dark and he almost fainted on the spot.
But in front of a formidable enemy, Gu Xiao tried his best to control his mind and glanced out of the corner of his eye. The monster was holding He Kui's hand, waving the sword in his hand and approaching him. He suppressed the sword intent scattered in his internal organs, mobilized his internal strength, and poured it in again. Among hidden weapons. . .
As the true energy entered again, the so-called "hidden weapon" in Miss Jiang's mouth opened on its own before Gu Xiao could throw it. . . Pieces of fish scale-like wrapped spheres, like budding flowers, bloomed in the young man's hand. The monstrous sword intent that was raging in Gu Xiao's body also quickly retreated from Gu Xiao's body as the sphere opened.
Gu Xiao also said that he had performed it improperly, and he wanted to throw it, but unexpectedly, the sword intention that stirred his inner breath just now seemed to be attracted by this hidden weapon that looked like a blooming flower. . .
But he said that people were slaughtering animals. He was already at least 10 years old, but he saw that the hidden weapon in the young man's hand was open. Although he didn't know what the power of the thing in his hand was, it was better to be cautious. . . With this thought in his mind, he turned sharply, ready to avoid the sharp edge temporarily.
After leaping back more than ten feet, I saw that the half-palm-sized ball was blooming like a flower, but there was no sharp weapon coming out of it. The humiliation of being played with suddenly swept through my body. . . Although the man slaughtered the animal was angry, he still did not dare to step forward. He could only look at the "hidden weapon" in the young man's hand with caution.
At this moment, Gu Xiao was also confused by Monk Zhang Er. Miss Jiang was definitely not a joker. When she handed this thing to him, her expression was solemn and did not seem to be fake.
Looking inside, I saw the middle of the fish scales blooming like petals. They did not look like various hidden weapons. They contained steel needles and copper beads. At the bottom lay quietly twelve and a half finger-long exquisite copper swords. Different shapes, neatly arranged. . . Gu Xiaoshi didn't know what kind of hidden weapon this was. Before he could recover, a rough and angry sound could be heard in his ears.
"How dare you trick me... I don't want your body this time, I want your life."
When he raised his eyes, the puppet-like figure of He Kui was already in front of him. At this moment, the twelve exquisite copper swords at the bottom of Gu Xiao's palm, which looked like an iron lotus, moved. . .
Right in front of Gu Xiao's eyes, he stood upright like a Taoist casting a spell. As the sword intention that invaded Gu Xiao's body followed the iron lotus in his palm, it was completely transmitted into the twelve half-finger copper swords, as if it was injected with life. He came out from the iron lotus, like a living being, watching the person attacking in front of him fly away.
Looking at the densely packed small copper swords flying in front of him, there was no trace of magical power on them, nor any weirdness that made him feel threatened. Human Butcher ignored them and waved the sword in his hand, preparing to swing away these half-hearted swords. Pointing to the bronze sword, he kept sneering: "So this is what you rely on, it makes me laugh so hard..."
Before he could finish his arrogant words, he suddenly felt that the body he was controlling was sluggish. He quickly lowered his head and looked down, only to realize that just when he was mocking him, his body had been silently pierced by those half-fingered copper swords.
The general's face, which was still laughing ferociously, suddenly changed color. He pointed his finger at Gu Xiao and said in horror: "You... what kind of evil method are you using?"
But it has forgotten that it has been the one who has been casting evil spells all this time. . . Gu Xiao was also frightened by the power of these half-fingered copper swords at this moment. He did not expect them to be so sharp. The monster had not noticed them just now, but Gu Xiao could see them clearly.
After the half-fingered copper sword absorbed the monstrous sword intent that disturbed his body, it pierced through the air silently. Before the opponent noticed it, it had pierced back and forth. By the time it came to its senses, it was too late. Fortunately, it is inhuman. No matter how high the martial arts level is, ordinary warriors can't survive if they are penetrated by these bronze swords.
Seeing the remnant soul controlling He Kui's body roaring ferociously, those bronze swords turned their sword tips and struck again, but this time they were not targeting He Kui's body they controlled, but the remnant soul's body between the eyebrows. location. . .
——
Five miles south of Zangbei City, under the same night, compared to the life-and-death struggle outside Hejiabao, it was extremely quiet. The moonlight was shining, and a faintly approaching horse broke the quiet night.
An old horse swayed slowly through the night mist. The clatter of the horse's hooves matched the slow pace of the horse, shaking the person on the horse into a drowsy state.
His face was covered with a bamboo hat, his feet were raised, and the old horse's reins were tied to his insteps. The man was half lying on the horse's back, holding a wine bag in one hand and playing with something in the other, feeling very contented.
"False sleep, the smell of wine is not as good as the night. It's better to get drunk when you return and retreat."
The man on horseback muttered something, shaking the wine bottle in his hand, as if he was complaining to the old horse who sat down and went on the road: "Where did I find trouble? The small gap between the royal father and daughter, but I have this little gap. Why are outsiders brought in to join in the fun... It's okay now. I have traveled thousands of miles from the south to come to this cold place, and my hot face is pressed against someone else's cold butt... Do you think it is... huh?"
While the man was talking, he kept tapping his mount with the instep of his feet. The old horse knew the way and was also familiar with human nature. He didn't care about the nagging of the master on his back. He just snorted and continued on his way.
The man saw the old horse snorting through the gap in the bamboo hat, and continued: "You think so too, don't you... I know that there is no place for me, an outsider, to interfere in the Tian family's family affairs. Isn't this what His Highness is doing?" He was driven back just like a child... It's all because of that old boy Tang Da's troubles. When he gets back to the south, he must be taught a lesson."
"Xilulu—" the old horse still snorted in response, but heard the man on his back continue to say: "I thought I could meet several Qiyun masters to fight with, but I didn't expect that Qiyun didn't meet him, but he did. From the Northern Jin Dynasty...it seems that old boy Zongwan has still not given up his wish to set foot in the Central Plains...Liger beasts...too lazy to care, too lazy to care..."
After the man finished speaking, he popped open the cork on the wine bag, opened his mouth and took a sip of Qi Yun's strong wine from the north, and continued to mutter: "I have drank too much of Qi Yun's wine, and it doesn't seem to be the same." It tasted so bad before... And the girls from the north taste much better than the ones from the south... Hehe."
Perhaps he was drinking alone and remembered happy things. The man stood up abruptly, swallowed the wine in his mouth, stood up from the horse, stroked the old horse's mane, and was about to continue speaking, when he saw something he had been playing with in his other hand suddenly moved away. He looked around hurriedly.
It was a ball half the size of a palm, and seemed to be wrapped in fish scales, but at this time, the simple seal characters in the center of the ball were shining brightly.
The drunkenness on his face suddenly disappeared. The man suddenly reined in his horse, with a rare trace of panic in his eyes. He looked back in the direction of Hejiabao and said to himself: "Didn't that man die by my sword? How could he?" In that fortress, there is still someone who can make her use the Tang Sword Lotus, and that guy doesn't look like a bad guy... Fortunately, I... am greedy for beauty, so I haven't stayed away from Zang Beicheng."
Before he finished speaking, he had already returned. The man put on his bamboo hat, reined in his horse and turned around.
"Friend, our fate has ended. Let me let you return to the mountains and forests." The man jumped off his horse and patted the horse's back. The horse felt a little pain and ran towards the forest.
Seeing this, the man smiled casually, stepped slightly on the ground, jumped up, and disappeared into the night in just an instant.
——
He Kui's body was riddled with wounds from the piercings of these half-fingered copper swords. Now he was still half human. The blood holes all over his body were oozing blood.
Gu Xiao was already stunned speechless by these half-fingered copper swords. Seeing that "He Kui" was unable to resist, and just when he was thinking about how to force out the monster's body, he saw a dark light flashing between He Kui's eyebrows, and then A palm-sized humanoid flew out, and it kept yelling and cursing.
"Boy... you are cruel, I will leave now, but you must not be complacent..."
When the sound came out, the demon's black light body had already flown several feet away. Gu Xiao knew very well that there would be endless troubles after letting the tiger return to the mountain. What's more, everyone in the Fuyuan Escort Bureau was still locked up in Hejiabao. He ignored the injury on his shoulder blades and tried his best to jump towards it. Broken Moon and Jinghong, who are crossing the ground, want to eradicate the weeds.
The general held the hilt of the sword, but heard the sound of screams. He quickly raised his eyes to follow the sound, only to see that the twelve small bronze swords were surrounding him, trapping the monster tightly in them. The cry was made by the monster trying to break through the siege.
Some people died, but not completely...
