Wednesday, 10pm.
Li Miao and I were already lurking in the cabin next to the stone bridge on He Street.
As for the five sturdy young men sent by Yao Tianlin to help, I also arranged for them to hide in the nearby unharvested sorghum fields with the electric batons I managed to obtain.
At that time, as a backup force, whether Li Miao and I have never done that evil cultivator, or the other party wants to escape. These five people can be of great use...
In fact, sorghum is mainly grown in the north.
Unexpectedly, there are actually some in the fields along the river in the north of the town. This is a good place for hiding people!
Originally, Li Miao proposed to bring Heizi with him. It would be more convenient to have a dog.
But I thought about it and declined.
After all, although the black dogs bred by corpse hunters since childhood are powerful, they are mainly used to deal with ghosts, corpses, monsters and other evil things.
Or intimidate and attack general bad guys, thugs, etc.
But the mysterious evil cultivator behind Zeng Qingfeng, judging from the information obtained so far, is a desperado with great audacity and strong psychological quality!
Ask Heizi to help, pounce on him and bite him at close range, and he might be killed by the opponent.
It's just me and Li Miao ambushing in the wooden house, plus five good fighters leading the guys around the outside. It's a perfect plan!
Li Miao and I hid in the wooden house and waited quietly.
Time passed minute by minute...
Sudden!
There was a soft creak and the door opened.
"coming!"
My whole body suddenly became energetic and energetic.
He held his breath and concentrated on sensing the person's footsteps and movement direction from the moment he entered the door.
Da da da.
The footsteps stopped in the middle of the cabin.
After a few seconds of silence, a hoarse and harsh voice sounded.
"Zeng Qingfeng? I'm here, get out."
very good!
As soon as the evil cultivator who entered the room spoke, I followed the sound and completely determined his location.
"Take action immediately and catch him off guard!"
I suddenly burst into flames and suddenly ducked out from behind the stacked wooden boxes.
At the same time, the attacks on the left and right hands were launched simultaneously.
"Holding spell!"
"Puncture the acupuncture points in the air!"
Among them, the talisman was played with the right hand, and the special pebbles were thrown with the left hand.
Since Master once again told me to practice martial arts well some time ago, I have increased my practice in this area.
I have always found the acupuncture technique to be more useful!
I once had a sparring match with Lao Cao, and he finally won with one move [Feiyu acupuncture] - of course, it was originally a free-spirited fight.
But after this incident, I conducted more in-depth research on acupoints.
Essentially, it is a kind of paralysis of muscles and nerves caused by the corresponding acupuncture points being tapped! People can't move.
I deliberately picked up some small stones, ground them into round shapes and put them in my pocket for convenience.
Just throw it out and hit the person's acupuncture point.
Why not use marbles?
That thing is slippery and easy to miss. Where can I find pebbles with better feel and accuracy?
Speaking of which, the talisman and the pebbles attacked the blurry black shadow in the middle of the room at the same time, and I heard a burst of sound coming from behind...
Needless to say, it was Li Miao who was hiding in another direction who took action.
The black dog is on a leash!
This is also a tactic we have discussed long ago.
The black dog-hair rope used by the corpse digger is just like the phoenix rope worn by the coffin bearer. It is something that is always carried close to the body.
It is contaminated with the owner's aura and is often used to bind corpses, coffins and the like. It has become something like a magic weapon and is quite powerful.
Once it's attached, it's much harder to break free than an ordinary rope.
"We are waiting for work at leisure, so we can attack the enemy unprepared. Can we solve it at once?"
I still have some expectations in my heart.
However, the evil cultivator is indeed not a vegetarian!
puff!
He actually spit something out of his mouth.
In the darkness, there seemed to be a flash of cold light.
Immediately afterwards there were sounds of "chi" and "dang", and even small clusters of sparks exploded in the air.
"Spitting needles from the mouth!?"
I was shocked.
"Could it be that this guy... is actually the same evil cultivator who attacked us near the deadly demon tree that night?"
If you put it that way, it is indeed difficult to deal with.
However, no matter how powerful this evil cultivator is, he is still a mortal of flesh and blood. There is no such thing as a prophet with three heads and six arms!
Although he reacted very quickly by spitting out flying needles and knocking down my immobilization charms and hole-piercing stones, he couldn't dodge the black dog hair rope that Li Miao pulled from behind!
Uh-huh!
I could hear the sound of the rope hitting the right person.
Then there was another "click".
light is on!
Li Miao hid near the light switch of the cabin. After throwing out the black dog hair rope loop, he turned on the light switch.
The dim light of incandescent lamps illuminated the cabin.
So Li Miao and I both saw the appearance of this evil cultivator!
Well……
In fact, it is invisible.
Because this guy is indeed just as Zeng Qingfeng described, wearing a linen Taoist robe and a gaudy and weird mask on his face.
It looks a bit like the face-changing version of Sichuan Opera, but not exactly the same.
At this moment, he was trapped by Li Miao's black dog hair rope, and he did not panic at all. He just asked in a cold and hoarse voice.
"Who are you? Why are you ambushing me here to attack me?"
I was too lazy to talk to this evil cultivator at this time, so I took out the amulet again and planned to put two on this guy's body before talking!
When the time comes, when the five flowers are tied up, it won’t be too late to talk slowly.
When doing things, always try to take the initiative!
But just as I played another immobilization charm and passed over, the evil cultivator in front of me opened his mouth and spit out a pillar of fire, which was a foot or two long!
Burned my talisman directly to ashes.
"Ancient color magic? Fire-breathing magic? It's actually that piece of shit that sneaked up on us next to the deadly demon tree!"
A sudden realization dawned on me.
It seems that this guy is the evil cultivator who has been causing trouble near Lianghe Town during this period.
Although he is indeed very powerful, I am already much stronger than I was a few months ago!
And when I hit the holding talisman again, Li Miao, who was diagonally behind me, did not sit idle because he hit the target in one set. He held a long bamboo pole in his hand and stabbed the evil cultivator in the waist.
A three-piece set for the corpse hunter, including a black dog hair rope, a bamboo pole, and a dagger!
He has been fishing for corpses from the Sichuan River all year round. He is very sensitive to the use of bamboo poles, which are almost like an extension of his arms. When he poked it hard, he made a "woo" sound.
If he was stabbed, the evil cultivator would definitely collapse to the ground on the spot.
After all, the waist eye is also called the "Ghost Eye" among acupuncture points - it is one of the central acupoints connecting the upper and lower body of the human body.
Below the spinous process of the fourth lumbar vertebra in the waist, there is a skin depression about three and a half inches to the side.
Even if you are pressed hard, your waist will feel sore and your legs will be weak, making it difficult to move. Not to mention being stabbed hard by a hard bamboo pole!
It can be seen that Li Miao has been collecting corpses for many years and has a very clear understanding of the structure of the human body and acupoints and meridians.
But at the critical moment!
A long arm protruded directly from the evil cultivator's chest.
It seemed to be formed by the condensation of gray mist, vaguely exuding wisps of smoke-like substance. Looking back, the gray palm accurately grasped the bamboo pole that Li Miao thrust over.
Keep it steady and prevent it from moving forward at all!
"It's this damn evil hand again!"
My heart skipped a beat.
In the battle against the deadly demon tree a few months ago, the evil cultivator relied on this weird "ghost hand" to withstand Uncle Yuan Fei's ghost torture stick.
It’s like having an extra flexible helper!
Not only that, when the gray mist ghost hand coming out of the evil cultivator's chest blocked Li Miao from thrusting the bamboo pole, he himself seemed to take a sharp breath.
The entire chest and waist expanded in a large circle visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly shrank and became smaller in less than a tenth of a second.
Such an instantaneous expansion and contraction at high speed caused the black dog hair rope tied to his body to loosen its gap.
Whoosh!
The evil cultivator squatted and shrank to the ground very quickly, and was freed from the restraints of the rope.
Freedom was restored.
"not good!"
I screamed in my heart.
This bitch is really evil, and he knows so many fucking tricks!
All of this, Li Miao and I exchanged blows with this evil cultivator. It seems quite lengthy to describe in words, but in reality it only took a few seconds.
At this time, I had just rushed to the evil cultivator and was one meter away from him.
Keng!
He pulled out the dagger with his right hand, threw his arm away like a whip, and slashed towards his throat.
But just like last time, the small black snake with thin scales emerged from the evil cultivator's body and wrapped it directly around my dagger. The muscles of the body were twisted, and with a click, the blade broke.
"It's you! You've become so strong in just a few months?"
A hoarse voice that was slightly surprised and cold came out from behind Xie Xiu's mask.
Obviously, he has recognized me too!
Because the head-on confrontation between me and him just now was very similar to the fight in the dark near the deadly demon tree. It's almost a replica of that time.
The fighting methods we both use are almost the same...
The only difference is!
In the last fight that took place near the deadly demon tree, it was Lao Cao who faced off against this evil cultivator, and Yuan Fei was the one who assisted. And I only play a role in containing and plundering the formation.
But in today's match, I will be the one facing him in a head-on battle!
A head-on fight certainly carries greater pressure. Even if Li Miao was constantly attacking him from behind to contain him, it was definitely not something I could do a few months ago.
"Stronger than you think!"
In fact, when I slit his throat with the dagger with my right hand, my left hand also secretly pulled out the master's sword from the specially made close-fitting sheath on my waist.
When the thin black-scaled snake that emerged from his body used its body as hard as iron to forcefully break my dagger, the magic knife in my left hand had already struck his chest!
The magic sword is a blunt instrument without a sharp edge, and it is not heavy. For ordinary living people, it has almost no lethality.
So my bet is that this evil cultivator is not an ordinary person!
Seeing that something like a ghost hand appeared on his body, and there was a strange black-scaled monster snake hiding on his body... I am afraid that he has transformed himself to a certain extent using evil methods.
Compared to living people, I'm afraid it's closer to zombies and monsters!
If my guess is correct, then the magic sword's attack on him must be effective.
"hateful!"
The evil cultivator snorted coldly, probably because he didn't expect that I was still hiding my next move.
His big gray mist-like ghost hand pumped the bamboo pole forcefully. The powerful force caught Li Miao off guard. Not only did he take several steps back, but the bamboo pole also broke with a "click".
After all, this is not the one he used exclusively for fishing out corpses, but a new one. Naturally, it is not as strong as the "semi-magical weapon".
Then the ghost hand turned back and struck the magic knife towards his chest!
Judging from this, Li Miao and I finally gained the upper hand.
Because he had no time to grab my wrist and instead directly blocked the blade - this was already a way of trading losses for counterattack opportunities.
but……
"good chance!"
I was extremely happy.
Because I am sure that although this evil cultivator's ghost hands are powerful, they can block Yuan Fei's ghost cudgel and Li Miao's bamboo pole. But it is 100% unable to stop my sword from attacking!
Because this is my master's magic weapon.
Absolutely extraordinary.
Previously, in the Xia Family Courtyard, I also relied on this magic sword to turn defeat into victory. It can be said that it is my biggest trump card at the moment, the means to press the bottom of the box.
It's exactly what I expected!
As soon as the gray fog "ghost hand" was raised, it came into contact with the blade of the magic sword and was cut off directly. However, the force of my swing of the knife was hardly noticeable, and it felt like it was cutting through tofu as it continued to slash downwards.
"How can it be?!"
The evil cultivator finally lost his composure and let out a cry of surprise.
It seems that I can't believe that the magic sword in my hand can easily cut off his gray mist ghost hand.
At this moment, he and I were so close, it was impossible for him to hide away!
It's as if it has become a slow-motion shot in a movie...
The magic knife in my hand slowly fell down and hit him from the right shoulder to the chest.
Poof!
I felt like the blade was cutting through a thick layer of grease.
Then, I saw long knife marks on the linen robe on the evil cultivator, and the edges were charred as if they had been burned by fire.
Crimson blood flowed out from the knife mark on the torn Taoist robe.
Obviously, my knife really hurt him!
