The phantom mirrors created by mind-threatening spells vary from person to person.
Some spells focus on eliciting the inner fear of the recipient, while others rely on the imagination of the caster.
What Huang Donglai is performing now obviously belongs to the latter.
And because imagination is based on cognition, and Huang Donglai's cognition is far ahead of this era, so... he created this kind of illusory mirror that Shi Xuanzi couldn't understand at all.
From our modern point of view, the illusion that Xie Xuanzi is in at this moment is not even the earth, but is on an alien planet with a very harsh environment. Just breathing the air here can make him feel lungs. My head felt as if it was on fire.
Of course, this is just the beginning. The real terror begins when an unknown creature breaks into Xie Xuanzi's sight...
It was a monster similar in size to a large dog, with a big body and a small head, standing on four legs, with a pair of hooks on its shoulders and a curved tail on its back. The skin on its body looked like muscle and shell, and it looked hard and tight. , full of a sense of strength; in addition to the pair of long hooks on its shoulders, its back, tail tip, four legs, and two jaws also have hard thorns of various sizes that look like ivory.
This thing is more like a "living mace" than an animal. Even if the lion, tiger, hippopotamus or elephant comes, it will be torn into pieces by it, let alone people.
Shi Xuanzi and the monster just looked at each other, and the latter rushed towards him at that time.
This monster ran... so fast, and arrived in front of Shi Xuanzi in the blink of an eye.
In an emotion that was almost frightening, Shi Yanzi activated his Nuo Huan Yin Palm and used 120% of his strength to fight the monster desperately.
But what's the result?
Let's put it this way...it's useless.
His martial arts, which focuses on using internal force to create "internal injuries" on the opponent, is quite powerful when hitting humans and martial arts practitioners, but hitting the "springtail" in front of him is almost like scratching an itch. It is better to just use The brute force beating was real.
Puff puff puff...
Two seconds later, the springtail used the hooks on its shoulders and the fangs on both sides of its mandible to open four bloody holes in the body of the corpse. It was not over yet, and the springtail continued to move forward. Lifting his body, he seemed to be drilling into the corpse's abdomen, disemboweling it and feasting on it.
This time Shi Xuanzi went crazy. With the stimulation brought by the pain, he cheered up, shouted loudly, and used a mouthful of original demonic energy from his Dantian to avoid the process of making hand seals and chanting incantations. Directly use his strongest killing move - the cannibal wind.
However, in the next second, Xie Xuanzi sprayed out two balls of black demonic energy from his palms, and rolled them towards the springtail in front of him.
This trick is said to be "cannibalism", but in fact it can eat any living creature, so it is considered effective.
In the blink of an eye, the evil wind had passed, and the springtail was no longer flesh and blood, but even its bones had been eaten away... Only four broken spikes were left, still stuck on the corpse's torso.
Zhi Xuanzi, who was temporarily out of danger, gasped and sat up cross-legged. He quickly sealed several of his meridians to stop the bleeding. When the blood in the wounds stopped flowing, he endured the severe pain and cut off the sections as thick as awls. The broken thorn was pulled out from the body.
"Haah... haah... what kind of phantom is this? There are no monsters like this in Senluo Hell... What on earth has this kid seen before?" Shi Xuanzi just sighed.
Unexpectedly, something else came into his sight at this time.
Under the reflection of the red sky, Xie Xuanzi saw in the distance that black spots suddenly appeared one by one on the distant wasteland. There were more and more black spots, and soon they became one and became densely packed. .
If you look carefully, you will find that each black spot is a springtail emerging from beneath the surface.
Shi Xuanzi's heartbeat almost stopped when he saw it, but it wasn't over yet...
As those springtails appeared, a shadow slowly appeared in the distant sky. When they were far away, it looked like a flock of migrating birds at first glance, but when these shadows came closer, it was clearly visible. "They" are not birds, but a group of large aerial monsters with centipede-like bodies and bat wings on their backs.
Just when Shi Xuanzi was stunned, this wave of "dragon and dog" combinations were already coming towards him in a mighty manner.
"ah--"
Shi Xuanzi immediately screamed wildly. Whether you say he was venting his emotions or panicking, you would have screamed anyway.
But howl returns, Shi Xuanzi will not sit still and wait for death. He knows that he is now in the illusion mirror. As long as he can break the illusion mirror and return to reality, he will no longer have to tangle with these creatures.
However, he also knew that the illusion in front of him was caused by the "Piluchou" that was burned out at once, and it was not that easy to break. Even if his cultivation level was higher than Huang Donglai's, he would still have to pay a considerable price. Just fine.
"The spiritual talisman shines in the cave of heaven, the strange jade falls at the gate of hell, the great envoy of Yuan Lang is safe, the blood light shines to see the false and the true, the bloody evil Tathagata is sacrificed by me, and he is as hasty as the law!"
After Shi Xuanzi made up his mind, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms. There happened to be a lot of blood on his body at the moment. He dipped his finger in the blood and quickly drew on the talisman, and then recited the incantation.
As he said the word "order", the talisman in his hand burned without fire. At the same moment, several wounds on his body that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again, and he also sprayed a big mouthful. blood.
Of course, this seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact it will not kill anyone.
Generally speaking, a person weighing 120 pounds has about four to five liters of blood. Losing more than one-third of the blood will be dangerous, and losing more than half of the blood may lead to death. So how much blood will come out of a squirt? Let's put it this way, you hold back a mouthful of saliva, and when you feel that you are about to reach the limit, spit it out and see how much it is...vomiting ten times in a row may not be as much as the amount of urine you make in one soak, and adults urinate 24 hours a day. The amount is usually only about 1.5 liters.
This corpse was tall and very human. For him, a little blood from the "sacrifice" would have an impact, but it would not be fatal.
After a breath, as he cast the spell, the surrounding scenery began to tremble. Those extremely "real" Chishan molten rivers suddenly became like a frame-dropping picture, with pieces stacked up like a puzzle, slowly shaking at a high frequency. The ground collapsed.
Finally, just as those "springtails" and "flying dragons" were about to pounce on Shi Xuanzi, the illusion mirror collapsed.
When he came back to his senses, Xie Xuanzi had returned to the streets of Jining City, and happened to see the "Mountain Top Arhat" He Yi being choked by Huang Donglai's sword.
He turned around and saw that "Black Wind Overlord" Jiang Ba, who had just been hit in the leg with a hidden weapon, had fallen to the other end of the street, a place far away from him. It seemed that this guy wanted to attack that guy. He ran away, but died of poisoning halfway through.
"Uh-" Two seconds later, Shi Xuanzi couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
At this time, he realized belatedly: all the injuries he suffered in the phantom mirror were still there, and the original demonic energy and blood he lost were all real... What made him even more angry was that at this moment There were five or six more hidden weapons on his torso. It was probably stabbed by Huang Donglai when he was trapped in the illusion mirror.
When Huang Donglai heard the voice, he immediately turned his head and looked at Xi Xuanzi: "Are you still alive? It seems you still have some strength."
It needs to be explained here that the illusion released by this "Biluchou" has certain special characteristics - the time in the illusion mirror is not equal to the time in reality, although Shi Xuanzi has just been in the illusion. It has been there for a while, but only about ten seconds have passed outside.
In the first five seconds of these ten seconds, Huang Donglai couldn't get close, because the powder of "Piluchou" had just exploded and dispersed. If he jumped down in a hurry, he would also be hit, so at that time he could only Neng was on the roof and fired another round of concealed weapons at Xie Xuanzi from a distance. When the powder on the street dispersed, Huang Donglai jumped off the roof.
Counting it all together, in the remaining few seconds, he should have arrived in front of He Yi and struck him with a sword. However, Shi Xuanzi retreated further away, and Huang Donglai woke up before Huang Donglai could get over.
"Hmph... You are so skilled, but you dare to do anything in front of me?" After all, Xi Xuanzi is a demon with a lot of cultivation. He has also learned some anti-drug skills, even if he took a few poisons from Huang Donglai. Dart, he can still hold on.
As he spoke, Shi Xuanzi took out two little figures tied with straw from his sleeves, brushed them twice, and threw them towards the two corpses that were closer to him. Before the little figures landed, Shi Xianzi quickly threw out two more steel nails and nailed the two straw men to the chests of "Invincible King Kong" Tong Gu and "Little Hansheng" Huang Zhong respectively.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
As soon as the steel nails fell, the two corpses jumped up from the ground and stood in a weird posture like the little scarecrow.
"If the spirit does not nourish the inside, it will act as an evil spirit outside, break it!" Huang Donglai reacted quickly. When he saw the two "people" getting up, he immediately threw a hidden weapon at each of them, and chanted the curse to break it. Corpse Manzi's manipulation technique.
But how could Shi Xianzi let him get his wish easily?
When Tong Gu and Huang Zhong were alive, they might not be able to avoid Huang Donglai's hidden weapons, but now they are under the control of Shi Xuanzi, just like two puppets on strings, and they don't need to abide by the rules of normal human movement. To make movements, they only need to be "pulled" around the little straw man nailed to their chests, so they can make incredible evasive movements at very fast speeds. Huang Donglai's two darts seemed to have failed.
"Haha..." Shi Xuanzi was actually not having a good time at this time. He had suffered a lot of internal and external damage in the illusion mirror just now, and it would be impossible for him to recover as before in a short time. However, he still forced himself to stay calm and bluffed, "Boy, you guys Is this what the Xuanqi Sect is capable of? I think you should go back to the mountain and practice for another ten or eight years, so as not to embarrass your sect."
"Ah -" On the other side, after Huang Donglai heard this, he showed his incompetent and furious state, shouted, and rushed over with his sword.
Seeing this, Shi Xuanzi hesitated.
He now has two choices: one, control two living corpses to fight Huang Donglai slowly; the other, join the living corpses himself and fight quickly.
The first option is safer. It can not only consume Huang Donglai's energy, but also allow him to carefully look for Huang Donglai's flaws. Anyway, even if the living corpse is hit, it will be fine, and even if Huang Donglai is only slightly injured, the severity of the injury It will also accumulate.
But...manipulating living corpses also consumes Dao power. Until now, Shi Xuanzi has been ambushing the opponent and defeated several of the opponent's techniques, which has consumed a lot of Dao power. Moreover, he himself has also suffered quite a lot. In terms of injury, if we talk about the cost, he is currently more consumed than the other party. If he continues to delay, it is hard to say who will fail first.
If you think about it this way... the second, more radical option doesn't seem to be bad.
Although this second method consumes more energy, and the corpse body also takes certain risks, there is a high chance that the battle can be resolved in a short time.
After some thinking, Xie Xuanzi finally chose the latter - a shot!
After he has made up his mind, his body moves.
This corpse man was tall and broad, and as soon as he stepped forward, he was like a big black iron tower pressing in front of him.
The two living corpses also jumped up in fright. They looked more like ferocious beasts than humans at this moment. They bared their teeth and claws and rushed towards Huang Donglai.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, didn't these two know martial arts during their lifetime? And Huang Zhong seems to be an archer, so why has he now become the kind of thing in zombie movies that can only attack people?
It's very simple, because the spell currently used by Shi Xuanzi can only control the corpse to do some actions that Shi Xuanzi can imagine. This is still under the condition that he concentrates on the control; if Shi Xuanzi does not concentrate, On the living corpse, for example, right now... he himself is also participating in the battle, so these "living corpses" can only execute some of the simplest attack instructions.
Techniques like "that can make dead people obey orders, have the ability to act independently, and completely reproduce the techniques they mastered during their lifetime"...that is, "reincarnation in dirty soil", which is not in this book anyway.
Chichi chichi......
Sooner or later, Shi Xuanzi controlled two living corpses three against one, and soon formed a pincer attack on Huang Donglai. For a while, his claws came and went, and his sword roared in the wind.
Huang Donglai's sword skills were not very good to begin with, and now facing the siege, his sword moves were even more clumsy. After only a few rounds of attack and defense, he could only dance with his sword wide open and closed, trying to force him to Retreat the other party.
Of course, this is what Shi Yanzi is least afraid of. After all, he has two "human shields" that are not afraid of being cut. As long as he is fine, it will be in vain no matter how wide the opponent's sword is.
After fighting for a few more rounds, Huang Donglai fell into a dilemma and started to fight and retreat.
Seeing this, Shi Xuanzi smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that he was right to choose the second strategy. He also pursued the victory with ferocious moves and deadly moves. Soon, Huang Donglai was half escaping and half blocking. Back off.
A few seconds later...
"Ah!" Suddenly, Huang Donglai screamed and fell down on his back.
Why is this?
It turned out that Huang Donglai had no time to take care of his surroundings as he kept retreating, so he accidentally tripped over the corpse of the "Black Wind Overlord" Jiang Ba who had just fled far away.
This scene almost made him happy when he saw it in Shi Xuanzi's eyes.
But Xi Xuanzi also knew that now was not the time to be happy. Only after the battle could he be at ease.
Therefore, in the next second, he caught the opponent's huge mistake, followed up with a step, and used almost all his remaining internal and Dao power to slap the palm down diagonally from top to bottom.
The palm force is everywhere, and black energy suddenly appears.
Huang Donglai was hit firmly in the chest by this palm. At that time, he heard a series of "kaka" sounds. Even a person standing two meters away could hear that this palm had hit his ribs in the body. , heart, lungs, etc... were all shattered.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Donglai fell to the ground motionless, without even a groan; and as he fell to the ground, the two living corpses also stopped attacking.
"Ha..." Xi Xuanzi looked at Huang Donglai's body and smiled proudly, "You dare to fight with me even if you are a bit of a Taoist, you deserve it!"
puff--
Before he finished speaking, an arm penetrated from the back of Shi Xuanzi's heart, pinched his heart, and then quickly passed out from his chest, displaying the heart in front of his eyes.
"Fighting is not only about Taoism, but also about intelligence." At this moment, Huang Donglai's voice sounded again.
But the person who said this was not "Huang Donglai" who was lying motionless on the ground at this time, but "Jiang Ba" who tripped "Huang Donglai".
"You..." Shi Xuanzi's eyes widened and he looked at his bleeding heart. When he was about to die, his thoughts became exceptionally clear, "...and...the array..."
"That's right." Huang Donglai knew what he was going to say, so he continued directly, "There are actually not only two 'formations' here, but also a third..." He paused, "The biggest formation is a 'can't enter' Out of the barrier, there is a 'Hundred Steps Demonic Trap Array' inside. You were aware of these two before you fell into the phantom mirror; but there is also a minimum 'Shadow Transformation Array', which I did not tell you about. Activate it in front of you, but wait until you fall into the illusory mirror created by 'Piluchou'..."
When Huang Donglai came here, Shi Xuanzi's pupils were already dilated. No matter how powerful the demon was, he would not be able to survive for a few breaths if his heart was stolen by a sneak attack.
But before he died, knowing what kind of trick he had fallen into did not let him rest in peace, but made him feel even more unjust.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Huang Donglai's "Transformation and Shadow Marriage Formation" is not as good as Shi Xuanzi's "Crawling Man" hand. Shi Xuanzi's hand can be used instantly and can control two bodies at a time. Corpses, but Huang Donglai's formation had to be arranged in advance, and could only control one corpse after activation. Of course, this formation also has a blinding effect that allows the appearance of the body and the corpse to be interchanged in the eyes of others. This is There is no such thing as Shi Xuanzi's spell.
After solving this evil spirit, Tong Gu and Huang Zhong, who were deceiving corpses, naturally fell down without the support of their spiritual power.
To be on the safe side, Huang Donglai burned a few pieces of yellow paper, recited some incantations, and quickly burned the corpses of Shi Xuanzi and several of his hall masters with Taoist real fire. He watched as their corpses all melted away. As the ashes dispersed with the wind, Huang Donglai ran towards the market entrance with peace of mind, preparing to see what was going on over there with Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan.
