It plans to transfer its core to another place where the light of hope cannot shine, then abandon the body here, quickly devour the people in Nightmare Town, and strengthen itself.
At that time, maybe there will be a chance to touch the threshold of the mid-Qing star level, and Pei Mengqing will no longer be suppressed.
Use force to defeat cleverness, and when the time comes, Pei Mengqing will have to retreat and release his strength.
But the frosty cold air has left many traces on the ground. If there is any disturbance, Pei Mengqing can clearly feel it through the 0.5 level of frosty cold air.
He pretended to attack forward and swung out his sword, but in fact he forced Shadow Touch's body back, turned around and counterattacked, stabbing the ground with a fierce and sharp sword energy.
The cold air of the sky and the sharp energy were activated at the same time, immediately forcing the core of the shadow touch back into the body.
"Damn it." It roared angrily and went crazy. It swung the Yanyue knife in its hand and forced Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong back.
Pei Mengqing, on the other hand, was not forced to retreat by this madness.
He jumped up, stepped on the blade of the Yanyue Sword with his toes, and reached out with the sword in an instant.
The shadow screamed in pain, and its left eye had completely exploded. It was as uncomfortable as a miniature bomb exploding in its head, and it suddenly became dizzy.
Fortunately, all parts of its body are originally transformed by shadows. Even if it is injured, it can be transformed again, without affecting its own insensitivity.
However, its body shape has gradually become smaller, from the original height of three meters to two meters.
Although he still looks like a strong man, the initial feeling of oppression is no longer there.
Pei Mengqing struck with her sword, but she knew not to act too hastily. It was still not the time to use the last move.
He commanded Li Yuanzhong and Wang Hongren to continuously attack the Touch of Shadow from three sides.
And this shadow touch kept roaring and changing its moves, rapidly improving the power and skills of its moves.
However, although this growth rate is very fast, it is still not enough to withstand the offensive of Pei Mengqing and others.
I'm afraid that before it can grow enough to deal with Pei Mengqing's sword moves, it will be killed by Pei Mengqing's sword moves.
"You want to kill me with just such a sword move?" It kept making manic roars.
The "human" side is fading away, and the "beast" and "Shadow Touch" nature is emerging.
"Oh? Can this kind of Lingchi sword move not hurt you? I want to see how long you can last?" Pei Mengqing chuckled, the Tianshuang sword in his hand kept changing, and the moves were clever, just like an antelope hanging its horns.
The sword of Tianshuang is both sharp and fierce, and the Tianshuang and Zhuxie and Suppressing Evil are simultaneously used. Pei Mengqing is like a meat grinder, quickly strangling the body of Shadow Touch until he is strangled to a height of one and a half meters.
The shadows shattered and were melted away by the light of hope.
Pei Mengqing continued to strangle, Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong continued to cooperate, the three of them became more and more tacit, and continued to reduce the body of Shadow Touch.
However, can things really go so smoothly?
In fact, Shadow Touch is not rage.
When it was in the other world, it was deceived by Pei Mengqing with the illusion of anger and urgency, and now it has learned this trick.
It planned to use this trick to deceive Pei Mengqing and others, and then take advantage of their unpreparedness to throw its core into the shadows, re-bulge its body, and continue its original thoughts.
In fact, it kind of tricked itself.
If you follow your instincts and use all your shadow power to defeat Pei Mengqing and the others at a cost, you actually have a good chance.
However, it is influenced by human books and three views, hoping to break through itself and become stronger at the last moment.
So it wanted to "challenge its own weaknesses."
It cannot be said that its idea is wrong.
If among the three opponents they encountered were not a swordsman with extremely talented swordsmanship like Pei Mengqing and a combat power comparable to that of the early Qi-level, but an ordinary late-stage Xuanqi-level warlock, it would have been impossible for them to defeat them so quickly. Suppress it firmly.
And if Pei Mengqing didn't happen to have a cultivation system and could bring out a treasure of the level of the Hope Lamp to suppress it, it would not have become such a small one.
Without the light of hope constantly melting away its shadow fragments, even if it is constantly injured, it can continue to re-fuse its shadow fragments and maintain its shape.
While practicing melee combat ability, you are also constantly consuming your opponent's physical strength. In this way, you will definitely win.
However, if is just if after all, the hypothesis can only be a hypothesis. There are not so many good things that can happen to it.
From the first time it encountered the accident when the horse thieves robbed Nightmare Town, it should have understood that it had an "accidental" physique.
This kind of accident causes it to always fail due to various unpredictable small accidents in the implementation of various plans...
But it didn't discover this, and instead chose to go against its own instincts and step out of its comfort zone.
Logically speaking, it should be a good thing for people who can step out of their comfort zone. Only in this way can they continuously improve their abilities.
Pei Mengqing continued to gain advantages, while the Shadow Touch retreated step by step, becoming smaller and smaller.
Until Pei Mengqing and the three of them joined forces and were about to cut it into four pieces...
The power of shadows is stacked layer by layer and detonated continuously, like a rocket pushing through layers.
Its whole body exploded directly, and the strong driving force directly launched the shadow core.
The speed was as fast as lightning. Pei Mengqing didn't even have time to react before he saw a flash of lightning.
"Not good! Xiaoriju Bureau!"
He yelled and tried to call Xiaori and Tachibana to intercept.
But the core of the Shadow Touch flew too fast and merged directly into the shadows. Tachibana and Xiaori had no time to stop it.
Shadow Touch learned a lesson this time and understood that instinct is a gift from God, and sometimes you still have to trust it.
So it decided to use all its shadow power to devour the people in Nightmare Town, become stronger, and then slowly consume Pei Mengqing and the others to death.
But in fact...this strategy will also encounter surprises.
Not to mention that Juju and Xiaori have enveloped all the people in purifying golden light, so it has no way to start. Just talk about the war of attrition, and it may not be able to persist.
In addition to Li Yuanzhong and Wang Hongren, with Pei Mengqing's points, he can buy at least nearly 50 Qi Gathering Pills. In addition, Juju and Xiaori can continue to help him gather spiritual energy. As long as his spirit does not collapse and his mind is still clear, You can keep fighting.
This method had a chance to be used when fighting the mantis monster, but at that time it was the first time Pei Mengqing used the Seven-Star Wandering Dragon Sword Technique. With the continuous consumption of energy, although he could gather the spiritual energy again, with his strength at the late stage of the soul nourishing realm, even if His spiritual energy was restored, but it was not enough to support him mentally to continue fighting.
But now that the soul-nurturing realm is complete, I have a lot more energy. In addition, I already have experience in using the Seven-Star Wandering Dragon Sword Technique, so the energy consumption is much less when using it.
So even if you use two sets of sword techniques, you still have a chance.
Pei Mengqing rushed back to help.
But the Touch of Shadow has already unleashed the power of shadow to attack Tachibana and Xiaori.
Several black spikes struck from all directions.
"You stay here, don't let the people suffer!" Xiaori stepped forward to meet the enemy, shining golden light.
Having been frightened by the battle between Pei Mengqing and others and the Touch of Shadow before, now seeing such an offensive, they were even more frightened, screaming and even crying for the dead.
Among them, the deputy mayor stood up and made trouble, asking everyone to disperse and run away in all directions.
Fortunately, Lu Mengcheng was awake and stopped the deputy mayor. The Orange Bureau also gathered the crowd in time and slapped the deputy mayor to death who dared to cause trouble at this time.
Let's say that Xiaori stepped forward to meet the enemy, transforming into a tiger, and then like a big golden Ciwen, he continuously fired the hair on his back, facing the hundreds of spikes tit-for-tat, and neutralizing the attack.
But the Touch of Shadow is after all the combat power of the early stage of Qi level. It is just an orange cat in the middle to late stage of Mysterious level. Therefore, under the surging power of shadow, it was thrown away and smashed through without being able to defend against a few moves. several houses.
In addition, after all, the people in these Nightmare Towns are not completely obedient, but have their own thoughts, so there are more than a dozen people staying in their houses, not under the light of purification.
At this time, several tentacles turned into shadows quickly appeared in those houses, and quickly devoured these people amid their screams and fear.
As the shadow grows stronger, it wants to continue to blow the Orange Bureau away and continue to devour the people here.
The surging power of shadows rose up, twisted into several fists, and were already outstretched. They were about to blow the Orange Bureau away, so that the golden light could no longer cover the people.
Seeing that Ju Ju was unable to resist and was about to be blown away, Pei Mengqing finally responded in time to help.
The sword shadows flew and the black fists flew. Pei Mengqing's sword light flashed, picking, hitting, slashing, hanging, and horizontally, neutralizing the attacks one by one.
Then he slashed out with all his strength, cutting off the surrounding shadows with one strike.
This gave Ju Ju and others a chance to breathe, gathered the people together again, and shrouded them in the light of purification.
Pei Mengqing, on the other hand, kept slashing with his sword, trying to force the opponent's body out.
But Shadow Touch learned his lesson and no longer appeared in person, but only used long-range attacks.
Pei Mengqing had no choice but to continue to defend passively.
The current situation is difficult for the Shadow Touch to solve, but it is even more difficult for Pei Mengqing and the others.
When the shadow touch body leaves the station, it can still be shrouded in this light of hope, blocking the body it has gathered from merging with the shadows elsewhere.
Now that it has given up its embodied body, it is like a fish entering the sea, unfettered. It is difficult for Pei Mengqing to find the core and solve it.
Pei Mengqing sighed, but still could only defend passively, constantly thinking about countermeasures in her mind, and with the help of Li Yuanzhong and Wang Hongren, she kept thinking.
But the touch of shadow is very cunning. From time to time, it will suddenly launch cold arrows, and suddenly sweep away one or two people on the edge, endure the sting caused by the purifying golden light, and devour them.
Pei Mengqing and the others were unable to fully defend themselves from all directions and take care of the safety of hundreds of people.
As a result, the people were even more panicked, like sheep encountering a pack of wolves. Wherever there was trouble, they ran in the opposite direction.
They panicked and ran around, which made it more difficult for Pei Mengqing and the others to take care of them.
So there were more casualties.
The more casualties there are, the more panic there will be, leading to a vicious cycle.
After the shadow touch devoured hundreds of people and grew a lot, finally, the number of people was maintained at a level where purifying golden light energy shrouded the surroundings, causing the shadow tentacles to stretch out before they could touch the people. Eliminate them cleanly.
In this way, he reluctantly settled down.
Pei Mengqing simply sat where she was and kept waving her sword energy to block the attack and temporarily regain her energy.
Under such a stalemate, Pei Mengqing and others could still maintain a stable mentality, but the same could not be said for Shadow Touch.
Its patience has been exhausted many times. After discovering that long-term plans always encounter surprises, it no longer wants to waste time and only wants to make short-term gains...
As a result, the shadow that had been unable to attack for a long time became urgent.
This time, it simply gathered all the shadow power it could mobilize, continuously strengthened itself, and planned to defeat it in one fell swoop.
Pei Mengqing was keenly aware of this and became more steady, consuming the other party's patience.
At the same time, the message was transmitted to the two heroes, and then Juju and Xiaori were asked to protect the people with all their strength to avoid accidents.
Finally, the shadow touch regrouped and transformed into a ten-meter-tall giant.
This giant is similar to the one that was more than three meters tall before, but the lines on its body are more complicated. You can even see a piece of its body beating continuously, like a powerful engine, continuously pumping energy for this huge giant. The body provides the power.
Just when Pei Mengqing and the others thought that the giant would take advantage of its size and attack with all its strength, the shadow touch continued to shrink its body until it was less than two meters tall, no different from an ordinary person.
But it was constantly steaming, and its whole body was as red as a soldering iron.
Pei Mengqing complained secretly in her heart. For those who didn't know, she thought it was Luffy from "One Piece" who had activated the second mode...
But you don't need to think about it to know that the other party is trying its best to accommodate the power of shadow on the basis of maintaining this body shape.
Wang Hongren and Li Yuanzhong were even more frightened, and a great sense of crisis enveloped them.
The two looked at each other and sighed, feeling that they might die here today.
But Pei Mengqing stood up, her eyes gleaming, and her aura kept rising.
The sword energy that was originally flowing horizontally was all gathered back at this time, with a restrained expression.
Although he does not look tall and majestic at this time, at a glance, he looks like a sharp unsheathed sword, soaring straight up into the sky!
"Li Bai, you still have a chance to surrender to me. Otherwise, when I defeat you, I will beat you into powder and then devour you."
Touch of Shadow doesn't know Pei Mengqing's real name yet, because Pei Mengqing has always been on guard, fearing that after her real name is exposed, the opponent will use some difficult-to-defend spells.
Hearing the words of Shadow Touch, Pei Mengqing shook her head:
"It's just a battle so far, so why bother saying more."
"Okay, very good. This is one of the reasons why I admire you humans. In the face of difficulties and dangers, you still respond with the courage of a mantis like a chariot and a cricket to shake a tree." Shadow Touch nodded, looking like I am very happy Admire the way you look.
Pei Mengqing was speechless. After all, it was not a good word to use a mantis' arm as a cart or a cricket to shake a tree.
I am afraid that I have only half-understood this touch of shadow, right?
