Earthquakes are naturally nothing new to the Japanese. They have long been accustomed to small earthquakes that occur every now and then, but the current wave of shaking is... relatively subtle.
You say it's not serious. The ground is shaking quite hard. If you're not holding on to something, you're likely to fall instantly. But if you say it's serious, it only lasts about ten seconds before it calms down. .
And there is something unusual about this earthquake, that is, the scope of its impact is only limited to the vicinity of the mountain where the Zengxingzong main altar is located, and there is no earthquake felt in places a little further away.
Seeing this, many people may have guessed that this phenomenon is obviously related to the "Tsuji Bottle".
As mentioned earlier, the word "tsujima" means to converge from the four directions. Therefore, as long as money and grain are put into this vase, it can bring wealth and prosperity to the owner; but before, Huang Dong Lai Lai filled the bottle with excrement and stuffed the head of a human being like Cha Gen'er into a dead head without pulling it out in the end. So now this magic weapon full of filth will be It is reasonable to bring disaster to this place.
"Wow...it came at a really bad time..." Two seconds after the earthquake occurred, Chongzang secretly said something bad, because he understood that this kind of change would be detrimental to their already advantageous side.
And the development of the situation did develop in a direction that he did not expect...
When the ground under their feet suddenly began to shake violently, both Juzo and Xiaomei were unable to completely stabilize their bodies in a short period of time. At this time, by chance, Ren Gen, who was charging forward with the corpse doll, arrived. They come closer.
Although Ren Gen was also affected by the earthquake, he was already in a state of losing his mind, so it didn't matter this change. He still staggered forward with the corpse puppet... Unexpectedly, it was like this Regardless of his careless operation, his corpse puppet stumbled and accidentally pushed away Xiaomei, and fell to the ground entangled with Juzo, thus creating a gap for Ren Gen to escape. .
There was no way he would miss this opportunity. The next second, Ren Gen abandoned his last corpse and ran out of the grotto.
Although Juzo quickly cut off the legs of Rengen's corpse puppet after he recovered and kicked it aside, it was not appropriate for Juzo to pursue Rengen at this moment... After all, Yonggen and the other puppets Xingzong's miscellaneous fish also want to run out of the cave at this moment. If Chongzang and Xiaomei who are blocking here are left alone, more enemies may disperse.
Helpless, Chongzang could only ignore Ren Gen who had escaped for the time being, but regrouped and continued to block the exit with Xiaomei.
On the other side, Yong Gen was dumbfounded at the moment. His original plan was to laugh and watch Ren Gen be blocked by the second ninja and become cannon fodder, and he could escape through the gap created by Ren Gen's death; who? It was conceivable that a sudden earthquake caused the cannon fodder to escape by chance... After a few seconds, the shaking gradually stopped, but he himself happened to hit the muzzle of Chongzang and Xiaomei's guns.
But it was impossible for Yonggen to stop at this moment, because even if he didn't look back, he could still hear the screams caused by Shuangxie killing his fellow disciples from behind...
At this moment, Yong Gen had a roadblock in front of him and a life-seeking dog behind him. For him, the option with the highest chance of survival was to quickly break through the defense line of the two ninjas in front while the other sect members behind him were still alive.
Therefore, Yong Gen, who had made up his mind, had a look in his eyes, and he immediately controlled the two corpse puppets that he had left behind and let them get in front of him.
Swish——
Swish——
In the blink of an eye, the two corpse puppets sprinted out and turned into two phantoms. In an attitude that did not consider the extent of their own damage at all, they ran as fast as possible towards the waists of Chongzang and Xiaomei and hugged them. go.
At a glance, it was clear that Yong Gen was trying to use the same method as Ren Gen's escape just now, letting the corpse puppets push away Juzo and Xiaomei by "grabbing" to create an escape channel for himself.
This move is tantamount to cutting off the tail to survive. After using such a tactic, it is unlikely that he will take away the two corpse dolls again.
But this is indeed the safest strategy to ensure that Yong Gen himself can escape.
Despite the domineering and bellicose appearance of the people of Zhenxingzong on the outside, in fact, although they have experienced many battles, they have rarely faced "life and death" moments. After all, few people can threaten them. Experts above the cadre level.
Therefore, at this moment, the choice Yonggen made seemed very stable and conservative, and even far less brave than a samurai who had experienced several wars.
But... having said that, he is already like this, so this trick must be effective.
As we have said before, Yonggen's corpse puppets are of the type with enhanced "speed" and "explosive power", so when he made up his mind to use these two corpse puppets with the same attitude as "consumables", it was just to help. He dragged the two ninjas blocking the way, so that was no problem.
Juzo and Xiaomei were also in pain. Just now, they were knocked away due to the earthquake and bad luck. This time, they encountered the opponent showing their trump cards. Although the two of them were just knocked away and not seriously injured, they were unable to hold on after all. Forever.
After a breath, Yong Gen emerged from the intersection.
He ran all the way along the stone corridor without daring to stop. The screams and cries for help from the remaining comrades behind him sounded like farts to him.
Before leaving the maximum control range of the corpse puppets, he was slightly distracted and operated the corpse puppets, allowing them to attack the surroundings indiscriminately. However, this kind of operation outside the field of vision was just a random attack to delay time, and it was probably nothing. use.
Ten seconds later, he ran a long distance again. At this time, the corpse puppet was also out of his control, and he began to run away with all his strength.
Finally, a minute later, Yonggen arrived... at the stone steps leading from this floor to the previous floor.
Some people may want to ask, this guy has been running for a minute and hasn't left this floor yet?
Isn't that right? The terrain of their main altar is like this. But after coming to the stone steps, it will be easier to handle, because the passages up and down between each floor are very close. When he comes here, he will You can go up the stone steps and passages one by one.
Of course, we all know that Sun Huang and others... have a faster way to move up and down in this arena.
…………
"Haah...haah..." When Yong Gen ran all the way to the top, he was as tired as his grandson, but he did not dare to slow down at all.
When he reached this level, Yong Genkan caught up with Ren Gen, who had escaped one step before him.
Ren Gen had calmed down now and was not so panicked, but because of this, his crazy energy driven by the will to survive also dissipated, and he was out of breath even more than Yong Gen.
The two brothers and sisters didn't say anything, they just looked at each other and walked side by side.
They soon arrived at the ground level, the dark cave behind the entrance of the mansion that had not yet reached the underground stone steps.
The two of them walked towards the faint light of the entrance in the distance, their hearts filled with the luck and joy that they had finally succeeded in escaping, and the tension in their spirits also relaxed.
But at this moment, there was a flash of cold light in the darkness, and a flash of blade wind!
At that moment, a trident came diagonally. The blade of the trident penetrated through Yong Gen's right back, penetrated the heart from the left front, and continued to advance, piercing Ren Gen's spine.
The two monks were in severe pain, and just as they were about to scream, another figure approached like lightning. With just one slash of the sword, both of their heads fell to the ground.
At this point, more than a hundred disciples of the Zhenxing Sect, from top to bottom, had all been wiped out.
But the matter of double harmony is still only 90% done.
Next, the two of them asked Chongzang and Xiaomei to guard the entrance of the mansion, and then returned to the main altar of the Zanxing Sect to conduct a final search.
This time, they didn't care about the time it took, so they searched very carefully.
The two first went to confirm that there was really no one in the entire forum who had slipped through the net, and then returned to the grotto where the gathering was held and began to clean up the battlefield.
They either recovered or discarded some things, and counted the number of enemies. In order to prevent mistakes in counting, they added swords to each corpse.
After doing this, they went to the room of Ji Gen'er on the lower floor, where they found the roster and account books of the Zongxing Sect, checked the number of people killed, and repeatedly confirmed that "the evil had been eradicated."
Considering that Ji Gen'er is an expert in human body modification and masters the magic of controlling corpse puppets, there might be some way to fake corpse resurrection, so Shuang Huo followed the principle of caution and cut him into pieces and burned him. The ashes were then sprinkled into toilets throughout the base.
As for the Tsuji bottle, Huang Donglai thought about it and asked Brother Sun to smash it with a trident. After all, they were really not interested in cleaning it and taking it away. They could just wash the trident in a while.
In the end, the two of them finally came to a place they really didn't want to come to, that is, the "experimental field" in the Zengxingzong main altar.
Among them, there are also some children who have been "transformed" beyond recognition or have become half corpses. For these children, it is impossible to return to normal life, and just being alive itself is unimaginable. pain……
Shuangxuan ended everything here as quickly as possible, and then left silently.
After returning to the ground, Huang Donglai took some things from his luggage, tinkered with some explosives, and asked Sun Yixie to poke a few small holes in the rock wall of the cave and stuff the explosives in to ensure the explosion. Maximize the power at the time.
After everyone else retreated, they blew up the entrance to the Zanxingzong main altar and set fire to the entire Huiyi Village.
At this point, the evil sect Zengxingzong, which had existed for hundreds of years, was finally completely wiped out.
The sins and wounds it left behind will forever be buried deep in the abyss of corruption.
The next day, early morning.
A cloud of misty smoke rose in the sky above Huiyi Village.
The mist that was neither black nor white stayed in the air for a long time. Looking from a distance, the mist seemed to have transformed into the faces of many people. They were crowded together at first, and then slowly dispersed.
Some people say that this is just the gray mist formed after the large amount of old ashes accumulated in the village were burned by the fire, but others believe that this is the last glimpse of the soul that was freed from that land in this world.
