"Plop!"
Shang Xia fell into the pool, and the turbid water covered with sand instantly submerged him.
In the pool, apart from the ripples of the water, Shang Xia actually sank into the water and disappeared.
Sun Haiwei glanced at the pool in surprise, but was immediately beaten back by the zombies on the opposite side.
The third-level zombies have no such luck!
But the question is, where did this third-level zombie come from?
Sun Haiwei looked at the clothes on the walking corpse. Although they looked damp, they still looked clean and tidy, but they always gave people the feeling of outdated items taken out from the bottom of the box.
"Where did a walking corpse get such clean clothes?"
Sun Haiwei suddenly remembered the legend on Tongyou Peak, which happened to be next to the coral forest.
"Is he really from the Zhu family? He actually ran out of the coral forest!"
Sun Haiwei crossed the two iron thorns in her hands in front of her, and an orange-red ice wall condensed.
But then a huge force came in, and the ice wall exploded immediately. Sun Haiwei stepped back more than ten feet, but she still couldn't get rid of the incoming force. Her back suddenly hit the mine wall, shaking her throat. Sweet hair.
On the opposite side, the hand of the zombie withered to the point where only thick bones were left, a layer of skin was torn off, revealing the charred dead flesh underneath.
"Infinite strength, rough skin and thick flesh!"
Just as Sun Haiwei regained her breath, she saw the zombie on the other end let out a roar, and from a distance of more than ten feet, its arms suddenly showed an environmentally friendly posture.
Sun Haiwei was suddenly startled, and without thinking, she jumped away to the side.
On the mine wall where she was originally preparing for the exam, two earth pillars closed from both sides toward the middle. If Sun Haiwei had been slower to hide, her neck would have been imprisoned by these two earth pillars.
But before she could regain her footing, she saw the walking corpse stamping its foot down again.
A large section of the narrow passage opened along the mine wall suddenly began to collapse.
Sun Haiwei quickly jumped on the bulge of the mine wall to avoid the collapsing earthworks and rocks, but unexpectedly a rock spike protruded from the mine wall next to her, scratching her shoulder.
"Why doesn't Shang Xia come out? Is there any danger hidden under the pool?"
Sun Haiwei was angry, and the iron thorns were placed a little above the mine wall. Instead of retreating, she advanced. The pair of iron thorns instantly took on the form of ice and fire.
Facing the oncoming Sun Haiwei, the zombie roared loudly.
The earth and rocks that rolled down to the ground within three feet of it seemed to be pulled at this moment, floating up from the ground and crashing into Sun Haiwei like a torrent.
And at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the water pool that had calmed down for a long time. The person was still in mid-air, and a golden-red thunder light as thick as a bucket tore through the void, and then transformed in an instant. A thunder net was made to cover the walking corpse within a radius of three feet.
"Crackling——"
Amidst the exploding thunder, the painful roar of the zombies could be heard.
At this time, Shang Xia looked extremely embarrassed. Not only was he soaked to the skin, the turbid water also mixed a large amount of sediment into his hair and clothes.
To be honest, Shang Xia had never been in such a predicament before. Even when he was chased by Cangling martial artist Yan Ming, he was never as embarrassed as a drowned rat.
This made Shang Xia extremely angry, but he couldn't blame Sun Haiwei. He could only vent his anger on the zombies.
At the same time, the torrent of earth and rock that had lost the control of the zombies suddenly froze the moment it hit Sun Haiwei, and then the white cold current flowed backwards, forming a half-arc arch bridge.
Sun Haiwei rushed up along the earth and stone arch bridge. At the moment when the thunder net ended, she inserted another iron thorn with orange flames into the earth and stone arch bridge.
The vitality of ice and fire surged instantly, and then exploded together with the two iron thorns!
The half-solidified arc-shaped arch bridge immediately exploded, causing earth and rocks to fly all over the sky. Also severely damaged was the third-level zombie.
"Senior Sister Sun, how are you?"
Shang Xia asked loudly as he landed on the undamaged passage at the edge of the mine.
Sun Haiwei's face looked pale at this time, which was obviously due to the excessive loss of vitality in her body and the trauma to her internal organs.
"You can't die yet!"
At this time, Sun Haiwei also showed her resilience and said loudly: "Be careful, the third-level zombies will not die so easily!"
When the flying dust dispersed, Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia surrounded the zombies from both sides, only to find that except for some broken clothes, some scattered rotten flesh and broken bones, there were no zombies on the ground. Traces of corpses.
"Is it possible that they were dismembered just now?" Shang Xia asked subconsciously.
Before she finished speaking, Sun Haiwei's expression changed and she reminded loudly: "Be careful underground!"
The ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and a pair of rotten claws with two or three fingers missing suddenly came out of the soil and grabbed Sun Haiwei's ankle.
Sun Haiwei's face changed slightly, and the energy of ice and fire surged in her body. One of the claws of the zombie made a "chichi" sound, accompanied by thick smelly smoke, while the other claw had cold air coming out, and a thin layer of ice Begins to attach on paws.
But the pair of claws were still firmly grasping her ankles, even tighter and tighter. Sun Haiwei's face was filled with pain.
Shang Xia jumped up the moment the ground collapsed. When he saw this, he let out a slight roar and slashed straight at the claw holding Sun Haiwei's left foot with the Yuhe Sword.
The surrounding earth and rocks instantly flowed back, forming a rock bracer on the wrists of the zombies there.
With a "clang" sound, the rock wrist guard shattered, but Shang Xia's sword failed.
At the same time, Sun Haiwei's figure suddenly began to sink slowly. The zombies obviously wanted to drag her underground while avoiding Shang Xia's interference.
However, Sun Haiwei suddenly thrust her hands toward the mine wall, sinking her wrist-level hands into the stone wall, which also prevented her body from sinking.
Seeing this, Shang Xia did not dare to neglect, and the Yuhe sword slashed again, with a faint flash of thunder on the blade.
The rock wristband was once again wrapped around the wrist of the walking corpse that was exposed on the ground. With a "clang" sound, the wristband was broken again, but the Jade River Sword did not return in vain this time.
The burst of lightning penetrated through the broken rock wrist guard and directly penetrated into the rotten claws of the zombies.
The rotten claw suddenly straightened, and the painful roar of the zombies could be faintly heard from the ground.
However, Sun Haiwei also let out a groan of pain. Under the influence of the thunder, half of her legs almost lost consciousness, and then her wrist was grabbed again by the zombies who recovered first.
Shang Xia frowned slightly when he saw this, the energy in his body changed at will, the source of thunder dispersed, he used the Square Steel Sword Technique to strike down with one sword, but again failed, and the effect was not even as good as the previous sword.
Seeing this, Shang Xia changed his sword style again. The Yuhe Sword suddenly wrapped around the wrist wrapped in rocks and cut a deep depression in it.
But before he could cut the rock wristband thoroughly, rock dust was replenished around him, and the replenishment speed was even faster than the cutting speed.
"It's useless. This is a third-level walking corpse, and it specializes in earth and stone magic. It's not easy for you and I to work together to severely damage it to such a situation!" Sun Haiwei tried her best to use her hands inserted into the mine wall to stop her body. of sinking.
"There's always a way!"
Shang Xia still continued to use the Yuhe Sword to chop.
"There's no way to go on like this. Cut off both of my legs!"
Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sun Haiwei, only to see an ugly smile on her face.
"At least you can survive this way, right?"
Sun Haiwei's arms were trembling. It was obvious that she was reaching her limit and she couldn't hold on much longer.
Shang Xia suddenly struck down with another sword.
This sword originally seemed to be extremely powerful, and it instantly shattered the rock wrist guard.
And at this moment, the vitality in Shang Xia's body suddenly changed from hardness to softness, and the sword body instantly bent and wrapped, and while the rock formation was regenerated, it cut with the flow.
Then a heart-breaking sound was heard. The zombie's wrist bone was obviously injured, but Shang Xia's two sword moves were also exhausted.
This is the most difficult "hard and soft change" in the "Hard and Soft Sword Technique". What is required is the rapid transformation of the hard and soft polar energy. Once faced with the enemy, it is often difficult to guard against it. It is the most profound one in "Ji Sword Strategy" Sword skills.
Although the inheritance that Shang Xia received in Tongyoufeng Sutra Cave was only that of the Sutra Pavilion, and the hard and soft sword formulas happened to be incomplete, the concept of this set of sword formulas had already been thoroughly understood by Shang Xia, and the second half was deduced from the first half of the sword formulas. , it is not difficult for him.
It's just that although this second sword move can hurt the walking corpse, it is still a little short of letting Sun Haiwei break free.
"Good swordsmanship!"
Sun Haiwei obviously tried hard to laugh, but the severe pain from her ankles made her expression look ugly.
Shang Xia raised his eyes and looked at her, but his expression suddenly showed a slight hesitation, and his sword movement also paused. It was not like just now, even if he couldn't cut off the zombie's arm, he was still attacking the ground with one sword after another. The corpses are being consumed.
"The true understanding of the so-called 'hardness and softness' in the Hard and Soft Sword Art should be that the two poles of energy complement each other and complement each other. This Hard and Soft Sword Art seems to be a mixture of hard and soft sword movements, but in fact One sword is still strong and the other is soft, and when facing the enemy, it seems to be hard and soft, making it difficult to guard against, but in fact, the two extremes of strength and softness have not really been integrated into one!"
Thinking of this, Shang Xia wanted to slap himself on the head hard.
The balance of the two poles, the transformation of the two poles, and the fusion of the two poles, this is what he had already understood when he advanced to the Liangyi Realm.
But when practicing martial arts, why do we almost forget about these concepts?
The so-called "Hard and Soft Sword Art" has never truly achieved the "combination of hard and soft swords"!
The true "combination of hardness and softness" should be when the sword style is released, it should be both hard and soft!
Seeing Shang Xia's sword style suddenly break, Sun Haiwei thought that he could not make up his mind to cut off her legs, so she forced a smile and said: "Hurry, if it is later, I really can't hold on!"
At this time, she suddenly saw Shang Xia raise his head and glance at her. At that moment, his eyes were clear and full of confident joy, which made her forget that she was in danger for a moment, and she suddenly felt a little dazed.
Then she saw that Shang Xia actually drew his sword again, and this sword looked even more ordinary, with no strange phenomena accompanying the sword move.
"Zheng-puff-"
Before Sun Haiwei could even react, she felt her left foot suddenly loosen, almost causing her to lose her balance. She quickly took a step back before she regained her balance...
"Ouch——"
Even though there was a thick layer of soil, the roar of the zombies could still be clearly heard on the ground.
