The phantom mirrors created by mind-threatening spells vary from person to person.
Some spells focus on eliciting the inner fear of the recipient, while others rely on the imagination of the caster.
What Huang Donglai is performing now obviously belongs to the latter.
And because imagination is based on cognition, and Huang Donglai's cognition is far ahead of this era, so...he created this kind of illusory mirror that Shi Xuanzi could not understand at all.
From our modern point of view, the mirage that Xi Xuanzi is in at this moment is not even the earth, but is on an alien planet with a very harsh environment, just breathing the people here. Even the air made his lungs feel like they were on fire.
Of course, this is just the beginning. The real terror begins when an unknown creature breaks into the corpse's sight...
It is a dog of the same size and size A similar monster, with a big body and a small head, standing on four legs, with a pair of hooks on its shoulders and a curved tail at the back; the skin on its body looks like muscle and shell, and looks hard and tight, full of strength; except for its shoulders In addition to the pair of long hooks on its upper body, its back, tail tip, four legs, and two jaws also have hard thorns of various sizes that look like ivory.
This thing is not so much an animal as a "living mace". Even if the lion, tiger, hippopotamus and elephant come, I am afraid that it will be torn into pieces by it. Forget about people.
Zi Xuanzi and the monster just looked at each other, and the latter rushed towards him at that time.
This monster ran... so fast, it was in front of Shi Xuanzi in the blink of an eye.
In an almost panic-like mood, Shi Xuanzi activated his Nuo Huan Yin Palm and used 120% of his strength to fight the monster desperately.
But what’s the result?
Let's put it this way...it's useless.
His martial arts focuses on using internal force to create "internal injuries" on the opponent. It is quite powerful to hit humans and martial arts practitioners, but hitting the "springtail" in front of him is just like scratching It's almost like tickling, it's not as effective as beating with brute force.
Puff puff puff puff...
Two seconds later, the springtail used the hooks on its shoulders and the fangs on both sides of its lower jaw to open four times on the corpse. There was a bloody hole, but it wasn't over yet. The springtail kept moving forward, as if it was going to dig into the corpse's abdomen, disembowel it, and feast on it.
This time Shi Xuanzi went crazy. With the stimulation brought by the pain, he cheered up, shouted loudly, and used a mouthful of original demonic energy in his Dantian to avoid the problem. In the process of kneading and reciting the incantation, he directly used his strongest killing move - the cannibal wind.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Shi Xuanzi sprayed out two balls of black demonic energy from his palms, and rolled them towards the springtail in front of him.
This trick is said to be "cannibalism", but in fact it can eat any living creature, so it is considered effective.
In the blink of an eye, the evil wind has passed, and the springtails have been eaten away not only by flesh and blood, but also by bones...Only four severed spikes were left, still stuck on the corpse's torso.
Zi Xuanzi, who was temporarily out of danger, gasped and sat up cross-legged. He quickly sealed several of his meridians to stop the bleeding. When the blood in those wounds stopped flowing, he endured the severe pain. Pull out the broken thorns as thick as awls from his body.
"Haah...haah...what kind of mirage is this? There are no monsters like this in Senluo Hell...What has this kid seen before?" Shi Xuanzi just sighed like this One sentence.
Unexpectedly, something else came into his sight at this time.
Under the reflection of the red sky, Xie Xuanzi saw in the distance that black spots suddenly appeared one by one on the wasteland in the distance. There were more and more black spots, and soon they were connected. It became one piece and became densely packed.
If you look carefully, you will find that every black spot is a springtail emerging from the ground.
Zi Xuanzi's heartbeat almost stopped when he saw it, but it was not over yet...
With the appearance of those springtails, a patch of worms slowly appeared in the distant sky. When the shadows are very far away, they look like migrating birds at first glance. But when these shadows get closer, it is obvious that "they" are not birds, but a group of large centipede-like bodies with bat wings on their backs. Sky monster.
Just when Shi Xuanzi was stunned, this wave of "dragon and dog" combinations were already coming towards him in a mighty manner.
"Ah——"
Zi Xuanzi immediately screamed wildly. Whether you say he was venting his emotions or panicking, you would have screamed anyway.
But the howling returns, Shi Xuanzi will not sit still and wait for death. He knows that he is in the illusion mirror now. As long as he can break the illusion mirror and return to reality, he will no longer have to tangle with these creatures.
However, he also knew that the illusion in front of him was caused by the "Piluchou" that was burned out at once, and it was not that easy to break. Even if his cultivation level was higher than Huang Donglai's, You have to pay a considerable price. < /p>
After Shi Xuanzi made up his mind, he took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms. There happened to be a lot of blood on his body at the moment. He dipped his finger in the blood and quickly drew on the talisman. Then he recited the mantra and performed the ritual.
As he said the word "order", the talisman in his hand burned without fire. At the same moment, several wounds on his body that had stopped bleeding began to bleed again, and his mouth Li Ye spat out a mouthful of blood.
Of course, this seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact it will not kill anyone.
Generally speaking, a person weighing 120 pounds has about four to five liters of blood. Losing more than one-third of the blood will be dangerous, and losing more than half of the blood may lead to death; then a mouthful of blood will come out. What's the amount? Let's put it this way, you hold back a mouthful of saliva, and when you feel that you are about to reach the limit, you spit it out to see how much it is... If you spit it out ten times in a row, you may not be able to urinate in one go.The amount of urine is large, and the 24-hour urine output of adults is usually only about 1.5 liters.
This corpse is tall and very human. For him, the loss of a little blood in the "sacrifice" will have an impact, but it will not be fatal.
After a breath, as he cast the spell, the surrounding scenery began to tremble, and those extremely "real" Chishan molten rivers suddenly became like a picture of missing frames, and the pieces of a puzzle were stacked up. It slowly collapsed with high-frequency shaking.
Finally, when the "springtails" and "flying dragons" were about to pounce on Shi Xuanzi, the illusory mirror was shattered.
When he came back to his senses, Xie Xuanzi had returned to the streets of Jining City, and happened to see the "Mountaintop Arhat" He Yi being choked by Huang Donglai's sword.
He turned around and saw that "Black Wind Overlord" Jiang Ba, who had just been hit in the leg with a hidden weapon, had fallen to the other end of the street, far away from him. When he got up, he wanted to escape in that direction, but he died of poisoning halfway through.
"Uh-" Two seconds later, Shi Xuanzi couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
At this time, he realized belatedly: all the injuries he suffered in the illusion mirror were still there, and the original demonic energy and blood he had lost were all real... which made him even more confused. What makes him angry is that there are five or six more hidden weapons on his torso at this moment. It must have been stabbed by Huang Donglai when he was trapped in the illusion mirror.
Huang Donglai heard the voice and immediately turned his head to look at Xi Xuanzi: "Are you still alive? It seems you still have some strength."
Here I have to explain that the illusion released by this "Biluchou" has certain special characteristics - the time in the illusion mirror is not equal to the time in reality, although Shi Xuanzi has been in the illusion just now It's been a while, but to the outside world, it's only been about ten seconds.
In the first five seconds of these ten seconds, Huang Donglai could not get close, because the powder of "Piluchou" had just exploded and dispersed. If he jumped down in a hurry, he would also be hit. move, so at that time he could only refill another round of concealed weapons at Xie Xuanzi from a distance on the roof. After the powder on the street dispersed, Huang Donglai jumped off the roof.
Calculating, in the remaining few seconds, he should have arrived in front of He Yi and struck the opponent with a sword, but Xi Xanzi retreated further, and before Huang Donglai could get over, he had already woke up.
"Hmph... You are a small skill, but you dare to do it in front of me?" After all, Xi Xuanzi is a demon who has practiced a lot. He has also learned more or less some anti-drug techniques. Even if he took a few poison darts from Huang Donglai, he could still hold on.
As he spoke, Corpse Manzi took out two little figures tied with straw from his sleeves, brushed them twice, and threw them towards the two corpses that were closer to him. Before the little man could land, Shi Xanzi quickly threw out two more steel nails and nailed the two straw men to the chests of "Invincible King Kong" Tong Gu and "Little Hansheng" Huang Zhong respectively.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
As soon as the steel nails fell, the two corpses jumped up from the ground and stood in a weird posture like the little scarecrow.
"If the spirit does not nourish the inside, it will act as an evil spirit outside, break it!" Huang Donglai reacted quickly. When he saw the two "people" getting up, he immediately threw a hidden weapon at them and said: Understand the curse and want to break Shi Xuanzi's control technique.
But how could Shi Xianzi let him get his wish easily?
When Tong Gu and Huang Zhong were alive, they might not be able to avoid Huang Donglai's hidden weapons, but now they are under the control of Shi Xuanzi, just like two puppets on strings, and they don't need to obey normal humans at all. To perform movements according to the force generation rules during exercise, they only need to be "pulled" around the straw man nailed on their chests, so they can make incredible evasive movements at very fast speeds. Huang Donglai's two darts are like It was a failure.
"Haha..." Shi Xuanzi was actually not having a good time at this time. He had suffered a lot of internal and external damage in the illusion mirror just now, and it would be impossible for him to recover as before in a short time, but he still forced himself to remain calm. He said bluffingly, "Boy, is this what your Xuanqi Sect is capable of? I think you should go back to the mountain and practice for another ten or eight years, so as not to embarrass your sect."
"Ah. ——" On the other side, after Huang Donglai heard this, he showed his incompetent rage, shouted, and rushed over with his sword.
Seeing this, Xi Xuanzi hesitated.
He now has two choices: one, control two living corpses and fight Huang Donglai slowly; second, fight with the living corpses himself and fight quickly.
The first option is safer. It can consume Huang Donglai's energy and allow him to carefully look for Huang Donglai's flaws. Anyway, even if the living corpse is hit, it will be fine, and even if Huang Donglai is just Even if you get slightly injured, the damage will accumulate.
But...manipulating living corpses also consumes Dao power. Until now, Shi Xuanzi has been ambushing the opponent and defeated several of the opponent's techniques, which has consumed a lot of Dao power, and he himself Now he is also seriously injured. In terms of consumption, he is now more drained than the other party. If he continues to delay, it is hard to say who will fail first.
If you think about it this way... the second more radical option doesn't seem to be bad.
Although this second method consumes more money, and the corpse body also takes certain risks, there is a high chance that the battle can be resolved in a short time.
After some thought, Shi Xuanzi finally chose the latter - a shot!
After thinking about it, his body moves.
This corpse man is tall and broad, and as soon as he steps forward, he is like a big black iron tower pressing in front of him.
The two living corpses also jumped up in fright. They looked more like ferocious beasts than humans at this moment. They bared their teeth and claws and rushed towards Huang Donglai.
Some people may ask after seeing this, didn’t these two know martial arts during their lifetime? And it seems that Huang Zhong is still good at archery. Why is he now the kind of guy in zombie movies who can only shoot arrows?Where is the offensive stuff?
It’s very simple, because the spell that Zhi Xuanzi is using can only control the corpse to do some actions that Zhi Xuanzi can imagine. This is when he concentrates on control; If Xie Yanzi didn't concentrate on the living corpses, for example right now... he was also participating in the battle, then these "living corpses" would only be able to execute some of the simplest attack instructions.
The kind of technique that "can make dead people obey orders, have the ability to act independently, and can completely reproduce the techniques they mastered during their lifetime"...that is, "reincarnation in dirty soil", anyway, in this book There is none.
Chicking chiming…
In a matter of seconds, Shi Xuanzi controlled two living corpses three against one, and soon formed a pincer attack on Huang Donglai. , claws came and went for a while, the sword whistled and the wind roared.
Huang Donglai's sword skills were not very good to begin with. Now facing the siege, his sword moves were even more clumsy. After only a few rounds of attack and defense, he could only dance with his sword. Open and close everything, trying to force the opponent back.
Of course, this is what Shi Xuanzi is least afraid of. After all, he has two "human shields" that are not afraid of being cut. As long as he is fine, no matter how wide the opponent's sword is, it will be in vain.
After fighting for a few more rounds, Huang Donglai fell into a dilemma and started to fight and retreat.
Seeing this, Shi Xuanzi smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that he was right to choose the second strategy. He also pursued the victory with ruthless moves and deadly moves, and soon defeated Huang Donglai. Half escaping, half blocking, retreating step by step.
A few seconds later...
"Ah!" Suddenly, Huang Donglai screamed and fell down on his back.
Why is this?
It turned out that Huang Donglai had no time to take care of the surrounding environment as he kept retreating, so at this moment he was accidentally killed by the corpse of the "Black Wind Overlord" Jiang Ba who had just escaped to the distance. Stumbled.
This scene almost made him happy when he saw it.
But Xi Xuanzi also knew that now was not the time to be happy, and he had to end the battle to be at ease.
Therefore, in the next second, he caught the opponent's huge mistake and followed up with almost all his remaining internal and Dao power. He slapped his palm diagonally from top to bottom. Down.
The palm force is everywhere, and black energy suddenly appears.
Huang Donglai was hit firmly in the chest by this palm. At that time, he heard a continuous "kakka" sound. Even a person standing two meters away could hear it. The palm had shattered all the ribs, heart veins, lungs, etc. in his body.
Immediately afterwards, Huang Donglai fell to the ground motionless, without even a groan; and as he fell to the ground, the two living corpses also stopped attacking.
"Heh..." Xi Xuanzi looked at Huang Donglai's body and smiled proudly, "You dare to fight with me with this level of ethics, you deserve it!"
Pfft——
p>Before he finished speaking, an arm penetrated from the back of Shi Xuanzi’s heart.He pinched his heart, then quickly pierced it from his chest, displaying the heart in front of his eyes.
"Fighting is not only about Taoism, but also about intelligence." At this moment, Huang Donglai's voice sounded again.
But the person who said this was not "Huang Donglai" who was lying motionless on the ground at this time, but "Jiang Ba" who tripped "Huang Donglai".
"You..." Xi Xuanzi's eyes widened and he looked at his bleeding heart. On the verge of death, his thoughts became exceptionally clear, "...and... ...Array..."
"That's right." Huang Donglai knew what he was going to say, so he answered directly, "There are actually not only two 'arrays' here, but also a third one..." He paused. After a pause, "The largest formation is a barrier that can be entered but cannot be exited. Inside is the 'Hundred Steps Demonic Trap Formation'. You were aware of both of these before falling into the illusion mirror; but there is also the smallest one." I did not activate the Shadow Transformation Array in front of you, but waited until you fell into the illusion created by Piluchou..."
When Huang Donglai came here, the corpse Yanzi's pupils were dilated. No matter how powerful the demon was, if his heart was stolen by a sneak attack, he would not be able to survive these few breaths.
But knowing what he had been tricked into before he died did not let him rest in peace, but made him feel even more unjust.
Actually, to put it bluntly, Huang Donglai's "Transformation and Shadow Marrying Formation" is not as good as Shi Xuanzi's "Crawling Man" hand. Shi Xuanzi's hand can be used instantly. , and can control two corpses at a time, but Huang Donglai's formation has to be arranged in advance, and can only control one corpse after activation - of course, this formation also has an additional one that can make the main body and the corpse look different in the eyes of others. As for the blinding effect, this is not the case with Shi Xuanzi's spell.
After solving this evil way, Tong Gu and Huang Zhong, who were deceiving corpses, naturally fell down without the support of their power.
To be on the safe side, Huang Donglai burned a few pieces of yellow paper, recited some incantations, and quickly burned the corpses of Shi Xuanzi and several of his hall masters with Taoist real fire. The bodies of these people turned into ashes and dispersed in the wind. Only then did Huang Donglai feel relieved and ran towards the market entrance, ready to see the situation over there with Sun Yixie and Jiang Muchan.
