Staring in confusion, Jiang Sibai felt that he was starting to dream again.
The feeling of being in another world suddenly made him wake up, but it was very difficult to completely break free from the dream.
Now, for him, being gloomy and confused is just like this: enlightenment, sobriety, and calmness.
In the past, he was able to face the evil dreams directly and calmly in one step, so he could avoid the increasingly serious evil effects.
But now...
Although he could realize it, he felt like his brain was filled with cement, and it was very difficult to think clearly.
He only felt that there were countless tentacles tugging on his consciousness, trying to drag him into a sinking dream and never wake up.
Although his reason was gone, he instinctively fought against this pulling force.
This struggle lasted for a while, and suddenly I heard "Miaoran Hexinjue" recited by Taoist Mo Shang.
Jiang Sibai's consciousness woke up for a moment, and then he subconsciously followed the master's voice and recited this calming mantra.
"My heart is as clear as ice and I won't be surprised if the sky falls!"
"Things are changing but still stable, and the spirit is refreshing and peaceful!"
"The void is peaceful and empty..."
This comes naturally to Jiang Sibai. After all, this mantra to soothe the heart has many similarities with the method of keeping calm in "The Method of Keeping the Middle and Gu Yuan".
Jiang Sibai recited the mantra and gradually gathered his consciousness or spiritual consciousness. Then he became pure in his heart and got rid of the 'tentacles' entangled in his body bit by bit.
He just felt like he was pulling out a gorgeous white jade bit by bit from the mire. This jade was pure and white, and every time he got out of the mud, he felt refreshed and clear.
Until, he suddenly woke up, and then realized that the 'beautiful jade' was himself, and around him was a filthy nightmare world filled with all kinds of strange and twisted things.
This is different from the previous gloomy nightmare, which was just a fragmentary illusion, but now it is a very vast and relatively complete nightmare-like world.
That is, the nightmare world.
He saw Laicheng again before his eyes, and he seemed to be back to the day when he was standing alone at the gate of Laicheng.
The city is full of corpses, and the city is full of ghost soldiers and generals!
Based on Jiang Sibai's experience of entering gloomy dreams many times, he generally understood how to escape from the nightmare.
That's all you need to do is go ahead and knock out the place where the gloomy energy condenses!
Jiang Sibai took a deep breath, and then the Kunyu Sword appeared in his hand.
This Kunyu sword is actually different from the sword he used in reality.
It has not changed much in form, but the texture has been slightly adjusted, and at the same time it appears more agile.
This was Jiang Sibai's recent whim.
Since everything in Yinluo's dream relies on his cognition and imagination, then he can fully strengthen the form of the Kunyu Sword in the dream based on his continuous study and proficiency in "Kunyu Houde Chapter".
In particular, in the dream, he didn't have to worry about the impact of the materials used to cast the Kunyu Sword and the impact of the forging techniques, and could display everything perfectly.
In Jiang Sibai's eyes, the Kunyu Sword in his hand at this moment can be regarded as the 'Kunyu Sword - First Strike', which is very different from the real 'Kunyu Sword - Trial Strike' made of ordinary iron.
He picked up the Kunyu sword and rushed forward.
He thought that since he could get through it all the way in reality, it must be no problem in nightmares.
But the facts taught him a profound lesson.
He tried to recreate the sword that knocked down the city wall in reality during the day.
However, the "Earth Dragon Sword Technique" was interfered with in some way. The sword that should be much stronger in theory had no impact on the city.
This made Jiang Sibai stunned, but he also realized something.
The evil energy gathered in his body has undergone a qualitative change!
But how could this happen!
Even if he killed many ghouls along the way, no matter how many ghouls there are, they are just the lowest form of demons. How could they cause a qualitative change?
Then he belatedly remembered the startled look on Taoist Mo Shang during the day.
I remembered that all of this probably stemmed from the King Lai he stabbed to death!
King Lai should have been the gathering place of Lai's national destiny and the well-being of all living beings in the country.
And when the ghost concubine used King Lai to steal the country's destiny, she was stealing the welfare of a country and leaving all the bitterness and resentment of the country on King Nalai.
How much evil can those bitter resentments be transformed into?
Jiang Sibai didn't know.
It should be a very scary number.
"Hiss~"
He finally understood why it was so difficult for him this time.
I finally understand why practitioners are so polite to the emperors and nobles of the world.
Because the rich and powerful in the world, whether they are willing or not, are filled with the blessings or sufferings of many people, and no matter what it is, it will not be a good thing for practitioners to be contaminated by it.
Jiang Sibai found that he could not enter the city by his own method, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to the gate of Laicheng in this nightmare.
He looked up and felt that this Laicheng city looked so towering and towering?
Especially when he stood in the shadow of the city gate tower, the doorway seemed like a huge mouth of an abyss ready to swallow him up at any time.
This is the only place where he can enter the nightmare Lai City.
Jiang Sibai had no other choice but to walk in through the city gate and entered the city in the gloomy shadow inside the city gate.
What you see when you enter the city is the 'old acquaintance' ghoul.
The corpses transformed by the civilians in the city were still wearing their clothes when they were alive. They stood blankly on the streets of the city doing nothing.
Until Jiang Sibai appeared.
They suddenly had a target, raised their arms and ran over with all their strength.
When Jiang Sibai saw this, he felt something was wrong.
He remembered that he couldn't even cut down the city wall, so would these corpses become stronger?
He swung his sword very cautiously and brought up a surging earth dragon, crashing into the corpses.
However, something happened that troubled Jiang Sibai. The earth dragon's bombardment had been enhanced by the dream, and its power was also enhanced when it was blasted from a distance of more than ten meters. However, these corpses were not destroyed by one blow. Instead, they survived the earth dragon. The dragon rushed up after the impact.
Even if the body is covered in blood and flesh and no complete part can be seen, they can still run towards them with the same attitude.
Jiang Sibai had no choice but to draw his sword again, using horizontal, slashing, and thrusting swords to attack at close range.
He was going to try the strength of these ghouls.
With the sword moves in Luo Yun's sword technique, these corpses can't get close to him for the time being.
The corpse in the nightmare is obviously more than three times stronger, much faster, and its physical strength has been increased five times.
This is also the reason why Jiang Sibai failed to kill them with the Earth Dragon Sword Technique.
The Earth Dragon Sword Technique also showed him its shortcomings as a fighting sword technique.
That is, it is good at range attacks but has limited overall damage.
In fact, the Qi of earth spirits gathers on the Kunyu sword, making it as heavy as a thousand stones every time it is drawn.
This is absolutely terrible damage to living beings, but to these dead souls, the damage is limited.
They are not afraid of hard blows, broken bones or shattered internal organs.
They can move as long as they have breath, unless Jiang Sibai's Kunyu Sword can chop them into pieces at once.
Jiang Sibai fought very hard. He had to use the sharp reaction of these corpses to hit their heads with his sword and completely smash their heads before he could kill them with one blow.
For him, this naturally means that his killing efficiency is greatly reduced.
More than three hours later, he rushed all the way from the city gate to the central street near the outskirts of Nightmare Lai City, hacking to death nearly five hundred corpses along the way.
His killing efficiency was too low. Fortunately, when he was surrounded, he was able to shrink to an inch and once again widen the distance and space.
Until this nightmare space slowly turned white, as if the distortion of the entire world was stagnant in the white light, and then slowly dissipated.
Jiang Sibai opened his eyes suddenly, feeling a little dizzy and tired.
It felt like having a nightmare.
Beside him, the sound of chanting scriptures suddenly stopped, and his master was looking at him worriedly.
This time, he stayed in the gloomy nightmare all night!
