campfire swaying
Under the dim night, a part of the darkness was barely dispersed.
Xiaohe stopped moving, one hand had already been placed on the soft sword at his waist, and he looked around with concentration and vigilance.
finally.
Figures gradually emerged in the darkness.
I saw dozens of figures coming from all directions, surrounding the temporary wooden shed built by the two people. The movements of these figures were very strange, and they seemed very stiff when moving, and there was a faint smell of rancidity.
When the first figure gradually came closer and his figure was reflected in the bonfire, he saw that his body was a strange bronze color, his pupils were rotten and sunken, his body exuded a rotten stench, and his limbs seemed difficult to bend when moving.
Watch this scene.
Xu Hongyu’s pupils shrank slightly, but then she glanced around and said coldly: “Refining corpses? Sure enough, the corpse poison jade that flowed into Yucheng was not left behind in ancient times, but was newly made in recent years… You are lucky Have you obtained the secret method of the Heavenly Corpse Sect, or are there still remnants of the Heavenly Corpse Sect from back then?”
The evil thief Tang Quan once sneaked into the Yu family as a man and hid his identity for many years. Finally, he seized the opportunity and stole a copy of the rubbing thunder chart that the Yu family accidentally obtained. However, he was still noticed by the Yu family when he escaped. , although she slipped into the outer city, she still quickly found out where she was hiding and arrested her personally. Later, in order to escape, Tang Quan used a corpse poison jade in front of her.
That was the first corpse poison jade she had ever seen.
Although she had heard about the appearance of corpse poison jade in Yucheng before, it was not news from Nancheng. Secondly, the news was false and it was difficult to tell the truth from the false, so she did not pay attention to it until she encountered one in person. Then began to investigate the matter.
Later, during the battle of the Black Crow Cult Headquarters, she encountered the second one. She returned to the Yu family afterwards and mobilized some of the Yu family’s informants to investigate the matter more deeply. However, in the end, these investigations yielded nothing. She only knew that the corpse poison jade was suspected to have come from Inflow from outside the city.
At that time, she did not think about the Heavenly Corpse Sect. After all, it had been extinct for hundreds of years and had disappeared. Now its history is only recorded in some historical records. However, she personally seized one and ordered people to investigate it carefully. Later, it was discovered that the corpse poison jade was not left behind in ancient times, but was newly refined in recent years, so they suspected that the secret method of the Tianzhi Sect was born.
now.
Even the corpse refining appeared, so there was no doubt.
The only uncertainty is whether those who dare to use this method to refine corpse puppets have obtained the secret inheritance buried by the Tianzhi Sect by chance, or whether they are the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect that have been hidden hundreds of years ago.
These two situations can be said to be completely different. If it is the former, it is nothing. Hundreds of years ago, the power of the Tianzhi Sect spread to all areas of Daxuan. Some broken inheritances were buried deep underground and were picked up by future generations. , which is also normal.
But if it’s the latter…
The remnants of the Tianzhimen were still able to hide for hundreds of years under the siege of the Daxuan court. It is only now that the court has declined, that they have begun to surface. The situation will undoubtedly be much more serious.
“No comment.”
From the dark forest, a dry and hoarse voice came, with an indifferent tone: “You don’t have anything to know, the white-clothed guards of the Demon Slayer Division, huh… It’s just the right time for me to make two new corpses.”
As the words fell, the bronze corpses that were gradually approaching suddenly started to move. All of a sudden, they all exerted force, and their bodies stiffly jumped towards Xu Hongyu and Xiao He, but the force was quite terrifying. A strong wind.
However.
Both Xu Hongyu and Xiao He looked calm at this time. The two soft swords were swung up in an instant, and two pieces of sword light bloomed like raindrops under the reflection of the bonfire. They suddenly collided with the zombies coming from all directions. .
The sword light fell on the corpse puppets, bursting out with the sound of gold and iron, and sparks flying. However, even if the dozens of corpse puppets that rushed towards them all had copper heads and iron arms, they were invincible under the two soft handles of Xu Hongyu and Xiao He. Under the sword, he was still forcefully cut with gaps all over his body, and was knocked back one after another.
However.
These corpse puppets with holes cut all over their bodies didn’t seem to have much impact. After being repelled, they pounced on them again. Not only were their bodies as strong as copper and iron, but they were also able to ignore injuries all over their bodies.
Seeing this, Xu Hongyu still looked calmly. The soft sword in her hand suddenly swung a beam of sword light. In an instant, she slashed past and cut off the neck of a corpse puppet that came at him again, leaving its head missing. .
Plop! The corpse puppet with its head cut off finally stopped suddenly and fell to the ground like a kite with its string cut off.
“Sure enough, as recorded in the book, the corpse-refining bronze head and iron arms are invulnerable. Only by cutting off its neck, or destroying its head, and severing the connection with the corpse controller, can it be knocked down.”
Xu Hongyu looked at the corpse that fell to the ground and whispered in her heart.
Xiao He saw Xu Hongyu kill a corpse puppet with one blow, and immediately followed suit and swung out a sword, but the strength was slightly inferior, and it could not completely cut off the head of the corpse, only chopped off Most of it was broken.
But even so, there was still something wrong with the refined corpse. It staggered a few steps, fell to the ground and began to swing its limbs randomly, as if it was out of control.
After clarifying the weaknesses of the corpse puppets, Xu Hongyu and Xiao He’s sword skills became sharper, and their moves went straight to the vital points, causing five or six corpse puppets to lose their heads or fall to the ground in an instant.
The dry and hoarse voice in the dense forest came again: “The white-clothed guards of the Demon Slaying Division are indeed very skilled. It seems that these bronze corpses like mine are of no use… Well, these are not enough, so they can only be trained like this. “
There seemed to be some sigh in his tone.
Uh-huh! A cold flash flashed in Xu Hongyu’s eyes. She identified the location where the sound came from in the dense forest. She suddenly jumped up and tapped lightly on the trunk of a big tree. With the help of her strength in the air, she suddenly transformed into A beam of light shot straight towards the direction of the sound.
Although it was her first time to meet the corpse refiner and the corpse controller, she had checked various information in detail before. Not only did she know that there were “gold, silver, copper, and iron” divisions in the corpse refiner, but she also knew that the corpse controller’s actual strength was often not as good as the others. Strong, as long as it is killed, all the zombies will lose control and fall directly like puppets with disconnected strings.
However, before her figure penetrated into the dense forest, a gray-white corpse with a little silver light suddenly appeared in the darkness ahead. Its body movements were obviously much more flexible, and it swung a punch with unparalleled strength. , before he came, there was a fierce and vicious wind blowing in his face.
Silver corpse!
Xu Hongyu’s face changed slightly.
Among the corpse refining, the four types of corpse refining, gold, silver, copper and iron, can basically correspond to the four realms of skin, flesh, muscles and bones of a warrior. Like the previous bronze corpses, although the whole body is like copper and iron, their physical strength is far stronger than that of ordinary flesh-refined corpses, which is enough to compete with horizontal ones. The trained body is head-on, but it is not flexible enough and has no skills at all. Let alone power, it does not even have ordinary boxing skills. It just relies on physical strength. Therefore, in a one-on-one situation, a regular The Erba Jing’s meat training is perfect, and a martial artist who masters the power of the sword can handle it.
And for a being with perfect Yijin like her, it is naturally very easy to kill.
But Silver Corpse is different.
According to the records in the classics she read, the silver corpse not only has a stronger body than the bronze corpse, but the power it can emit is much stronger than the bronze corpse. It is also not as stiff as the bronze corpse and can become more flexible. .
Uh-huh! Xu Hongyu moved dexterously, and the sword force changed in the air, from a stab to a circle. The two sword states intertwined and formed into one, colliding with the fist of the silver corpse.
Accompanied by a dull buzzing sound, the sword light swung by Xu Hongyu suddenly exploded.
“It’s a little tricky.”
Xu Hongyu’s attack failed, so she took advantage of the situation to jump back, fell back to Xiao He’s side, and glanced at Xiao He.
When she tried to attack and kill the corpse controller just now, she mainly used it as a test. After all, if he dared to attack her, the white-clothed guard of the Demon Slayer Division, the opponent must be certain. At this time, the silver corpse took action, and she immediately retreated to the bonfire. By the side.
Xiao He fought off the corpse puppet in front of him and looked at Xu Hongyu. Neither of them spoke. The master-slave understanding for many years allowed them to understand each other’s meaning just by looking at each other.
Chen Mu hasn’t come back yet…
In the dark night, they didn’t know the situation in the mountains at all, and they didn’t know where Chen Mu was now. Since the other party attacked them, it was possible that Chen Mu was ambushed by some kind of ambush. Of course, it was more likely that they were on their way back.
The best thing to do now is to rendezvous with Chen Mu and then look for an opportunity to evacuate. After all, the enemy is outnumbered and we know nothing about all the situations. There is no need to take risks and continue fighting. However, Chen Mu is not here. If they evacuate at this time, they will be fine. , but when Chen Mu comes back later, he will be alone. If he is ambushed again, his situation will be dangerous! but.
Before the two of them could make any decision, a muffled sound suddenly came from the dark forest.
I saw a copper corpse in the dense forest. The whole body flew across like a cannonball. The whole body was bent and arched, as if it had suffered a very violent attack.
This bronze corpse was carried by a strong wind, and crashed all the way, falling into the battlefield. It directly knocked away the three bronze corpses in front of Xiao He, and then fell to all sides.
“The world has become so chaotic. Do the remnants of the Tianzhi Sect dare to besiege the Demon Slayer Division?”
Accompanied by this cold voice.
Chen Mu’s figure appeared in the direction from which the bronze corpse was flying.
Seeing Chen Mu appear, Xu Hongyu and Xiao He immediately felt certain. Xu Hongyu almost didn’t hesitate at all, and immediately jumped up and headed towards Chen Mu, Xiao He followed closely behind.
“Walk!”
Xu Hongyu spoke calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, she and Xiao He had already passed by Chen Mu.
Now that Chen Mu is back, there is no need to get too entangled with the other party and just evacuate quickly. The Demon Slayer Division is not responsible for this kind of thing. He only needs to report the information to Yucheng as soon as possible, and there will naturally be a bone forging. People from higher realms or even higher levels come to deal with it.
