Corpses littered the ground and black smoke drifted in the air.
The three of them were on full alert.
After that tall mountain moved behind them without anyone noticing,
The road ahead finally revealed itself. The pitch-black forest was layered in a terrifying manner. From time to time, the strange cries of old crows could be heard. Xie Lian mobilized all his senses to guard against it while inadvertently holding Hua Cheng's hand. Who knew that this grip..,
He had actually discovered some bad news.
Hua Cheng was clearly a ghost..,
At this moment..,
His body temperature was boiling hot, as if he had a high fever. Xie Lian was immediately startled,
He immediately said in a low voice, "San Lang,
You ….. are you going to change back? "
Although Hua Cheng's forehead was burning hot from his fingertips, his expression still did not change,
He said, "Soon."
Hua Cheng was about to change back..,
In the current situation, this was definitely great news. However, the moment before he officially returned to his original appearance was definitely the most important and dangerous moment. Xie Lian made a prompt decision,
He said, "Set up the formation! I'll protect you. "
As soon as he said he would make a move, he ordered Ruo Xie to circle around Hua Cheng in a large circle.
Then, he inserted the heart in front of the circle as the 'door lock' to guard the circle. Hua Cheng sat on the ground,
He said, "Brother,
Take the heart for self-defense. "
Xie Lian said, "No, this formation can't be careless. There must be a weapon that has been stained with human blood to hold the formation … …"
Before he finished speaking,
He felt something rubbing against him from behind. When he turned around to look, he was immediately speechless. He saw a small silver scimitar standing behind him, blinking its large silver eyes. It was rubbing against him with the hilt of the scimitar, as if it was recommending itself.
"… …" Xie Lian squatted down and said, "Misfortune, how did you become like this?"
The famous scimitar misfortune had a slender blade, evil and frivolous. Right now, it had shrunk by at least half. That silver eye was originally long and narrow, but now it seemed to have become a child's eye. It was big and round, blinking. Hearing Xie Lian say this, it seemed a little wronged, but it still tried hard to send the hilt of the scimitar to his hand. Pei Ming also squatted down and said, "This is the famous scimitar misfortune?"
As he spoke, he seemed to want to reach out and touch it. However, Doom Exterminator's expression changed instantly, and the blade pointed threateningly at him. Fortunately, Pei Ming's hand moved quickly. Otherwise, he would have drawn blood on the spot. Xie Lian touched Misfortune and said, "It's better to let Fragrant Heart do it."
Her heart did not waver. She offered herself to Hua Cheng but was rejected outright. She wept and jumped back to Hua Cheng's side. Hua Cheng didn't even look at it. He gave it a backhand slap and said, "What are you crying for? It's all because you're useless. Trash! "
Doom fell to the ground like a piece of trash that no one wanted. He seemed to have fainted from the slap. Xie Lian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly picked up Misfortune and held it in his arms. He said, "No, no. Don't listen to him, you're not useless, you're very useful! "
Pei Ming couldn't stand the atmosphere in the circle any longer. He walked out and stood outside the circle. He slowly pulled out his sword again and said, "It wasn't supposed to be this tense. I didn't expect to meet such a troublesome and powerful character. Your Highness is really lucky."
Their group had come to Bronze Cauldron Mountain to get rid of the non-human beings that could become extinct. They were looking for powerful characters. Xie Lian didn't know whether this was good luck or bad luck. Hua Cheng said, "General Pei, why do you think that it's your Highness's luck? Have you ever thought that the Deadly Swift Saber Demon might be coming for you? "
Pei Ming laughed. "If it's a female ghost, I'll believe it's coming for me."
Unexpectedly, he didn't laugh for long before his expression suddenly changed. He leaped to the side. When he looked up again, blood was flowing down his face.
There was a bloody mark on Pei Ming's face!
He touched his face in disbelief. His entire palm was dyed red with blood. This wasn't a small scratch. The two of them had been on guard just now, but Xie Lian was unharmed. He didn't feel any killing intent directed at him. He said honestly, "It looks like … it's coming for you, General Pei."
Pei Ming was about to speak when the sound of a sharp blade came again. This time, he was prepared and swung his sword down. This sword really hit something. A figure appeared in the air, split into two. It fell to the ground with a thud. Half of its upper body and the other half its lower body. The upper body lay on the ground, staring at Pei Ming with a malicious gaze. It was Quick Deadly Blade Demon!
Pei Ming walked over and stepped on his chest. He pressed the tip of his sword against his throat. "What are you?"
This thing had said before that he was a spiritual monster formed from an executioner's knife. If that was true, he should have returned to his original form after being cut in two by Pei Ming. What kind of knife could still be used after being cut in two?
Unexpectedly, Quick Deadly Blade Demon's eyes suddenly widened. He sneered and broke Pei Ming's sword with his bare hands!
"Clang!" Pei Ming's eyes suddenly widened.
He wasn't the only one. Xie Lian had the same reaction.
Pei Ming was a Martial God that had officially ascended. Even if he was in Bronze Cauldron Mountain and his magic power was suppressed to the minimum, his artifact shouldn't have been broken so easily!
Swift Saber Demon laughed and said, "Such a useless sword, how can you even take it out!"
Pei Ming immediately used his fist to replace the sword. Quick Deadly Blade Demon slapped the ground with his left hand and soared into the air. He closed his right hand and slashed with his palm. Wherever his palm wind passed, there was a metallic glint. It was actually the wind of a sharp blade. It could be seen that his true body was indeed a sharp weapon!
Xie Lian stood within the circle and wanted to go out and help. However, Hua Cheng stopped him and said in a low voice, "Brother, look carefully."
Pei Ming also shouted, "Don't interfere!" He was the Martial God of the North. If he couldn't even defeat a Saber Demon at the outermost layer of Bronze Cauldron Mountain, how could he get over his own heart?
However, although Quick Deadly Blade Demon only had his upper body, he was extremely agile. He seemed to be able to predict where Pei Ming was going to attack first. This was very disadvantageous for Pei Ming. After a few hundred moves, Pei Ming's body was already covered in dozens of wounds. Xie Lian couldn't stand it anymore and said, "General Pei, come into the circle first!"
Pei Ming's expression became more and more unsightly. He wasn't willing to retreat, and Xie Lian couldn't rashly help him fight two against one. For some Martial Gods, asking for help in a one-on-one fight was a form of humiliation. Xie Lian could only say, "General Pei, come back first! Didn't you notice something strange? This person knows your sword art and movement technique like the back of his hand! "
Pei Ming naturally noticed this as well, but he couldn't believe it. But even Xie Lian, who was watching from the side, could see it. Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it. Xie Lian pulled out the heart and temporarily opened up a gap. He took the opportunity to jump back into the circle, his expression extremely ugly. Xie Lian put the heart back in and said, "General Pei, aren't you going to pick up your broken transcendent artifact?"
Pei Ming wiped away the blood on his forehead and said in a low voice, "That isn't my transcendent artifact. I just randomly picked it up. It's still quite convenient. "
Hearing this, Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief. Although the sword Pei Ming randomly picked up should be very valuable, it at least couldn't compare to a transcendent artifact. He then said, "General Pei, why didn't you bring a transcendent artifact here?"
Pei Ming said, "I didn't refine one."
Xie Lian was even more curious. "Why?" Most Martial Gods would choose to refine the weapon they were most familiar with into a transcendent artifact. This way, when attacking, they would naturally be like a tiger that had grown wings. Before Pei Ming could reply, Quick Deadly Blade Demon snorted coldly and said, "That's naturally because the sword he used the best was gone a long time ago!"
Pei Ming's brows furrowed. "Just who are you?"
Xie Lian said, "Aren't you going to ask what he is?"
Quick Deadly Blade Demon snorted. "Who am I? Ha! Pei Ming, when you broke me with a single palm strike, did you ever think there would be a day like this? "
Xie Lian slightly opened his eyes and said, "General Pei, do you know him?"
Pei Ming thought for a long time. His expression became more and more solemn as he probed, "You are … … Ming Guang?"
Hearing this name, Quick Deadly Blade Demon stopped smiling. The current him looked completely different from the little demon that had blended into the crowd in the beginning. Xie Lian said, "He's called 'Ming Guang'? General Pei, isn't it you who is General Ming Guang? "
In an instant, countless unimaginable stories quickly emerged in his mind, such as impersonating someone else, stealing a beam and swapping a pillar for a pillar, etc. However, because he repeatedly went to the Heavenly Court, it couldn't be considered unimaginable. He couldn't help but think, "Could it be another Geomaster Yi?"
However, Pei Ming seemed to see what he was thinking. Clutching his wound, he said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince, what are you thinking? I already said I'm the real General Pei. It's me! "
Xie Lian said, "Then why did you call him Ming Guang?"
Pei Ming said, "Because he was originally called Ming Guang. This is the name I gave him. He is my sword! "
Xie Lian exclaimed, "Could it be — — 'General's Broken Sword'?"
Pei Ming said, "That's right. 'Ming Guang' was my sword when I was a human. Several hundred years ago, I personally broke it! "
No wonder!
No wonder this' Quick Deadly Blade Demon 'knew Pei Ming's sword techniques like the back of his hand. It was as if he could see what he was going to do next. No wonder he could still move freely even though he was clearly cut in half. The wound on his abdomen also didn't have any effect on him. This was because this sword had followed Pei Ming through countless battles. Naturally, it knew Pei Ming's habits and routines like the back of his hand. This was because he had long since been cut in half!
Xie Lian said, "So, the previous sword wound, was he stabbing himself? Then what was the spiritual light on the wound? "
Pei Ming said, "Mine. Back then, after I broke him, I immediately ascended. I think it must have been stained at that time and can't be removed. "
Quick Deadly Blade Demon — — no, Ming Guang, began to use his hand as a blade, hacking towards Pei Ming's heart. The expression on his face was sinister, as if he was hacking at Pei Ming himself. Xie Lian couldn't help but ask, "That … … General Pei, why is your sword so resentful towards you? What did you do to him? What's going on with 'General Breaking the Sword'? "
Pei Ming touched the medicine bottle on his body as he said, "It's a trivial matter from several hundred years ago. Why are you still mentioning him now? Let's first think of a way to beat him back! "
Although there was Ruo Xie's circle, once Pei Ming's heart was cut in half, the circle would be broken. It would be like smashing a lock, leaving only the door. Xie Lian looked behind him. Hua Cheng was already meditating with his eyes closed, as if he couldn't sense the movements of the outside world. Xie Lian felt slightly relieved. However, Pei Ming's voice pulled him back. "Your Highness, can your sword hold on?"
Xie Lian turned around and said, "I don't know. After all, Pei Ming is very old."
Pei Ming said, "It doesn't matter. Ming Guang is also very old."
Xie Lian let out a sigh of relief and said, "Since it's like this, as long as there's no other help, it should be able to hold on for a while … …"
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the sound of extremely heavy footsteps came from the other side of the forest. Not long after, a burly man with dark skin and a ferocious appearance appeared in front of them.
That burly man was strangely tall. When they saw him, Xie Lian and Pei Ming both broke out in a cold sweat.
That burly man saw that there was a person who was madly hacking at a sword stuck in the ground with his bare hands. He seemed to be a little surprised and walked over. Xie Lian and Pei Ming simultaneously covered their faces and turned to the side. Meanwhile, Ming Guang saw a giant corpse walking over. It looked like he had a lot of strength. Ming Guang shouted at him, "Hey, big guy, help me out! Help me get rid of this sword and break this circle. I'll give you half of the heads inside! "
However, that burly man didn't seem to be born a person of the Central Plains, nor would he die a ghost of the Central Plains. He didn't understand what Ming Guang was saying, so he could only shout back at him. Both sides yelled at each other for a long time, yet they still couldn't understand what the other was saying. Instead, their veins bulged more and more. Pei Ming tried to make his posture of covering his face more natural and elegant. He said in a low voice, "Your Highness, what is this barbarian shouting about?"
Xie Lian also said in a low voice, "He thinks that your sword is provoking him and is angry. He said to quickly kneel and beg for mercy, or else he'll beat him to death."
Pei Ming said, "That's great. I hope they quickly start fighting. "
Unexpectedly, that burly man seemed to hear their whispers. He turned around and stared at them with a frown. Xie Lian and Pei Ming covered their faces even more tightly. They naturally couldn't care less about pretending. However, that burly man still recognized them. He stomped his feet, causing the entire ground to tremble. He shouted, "It's you! The Daoist who collects trash! Pei Su's boss! "
Seeing that he recognized them, the two could only put down their hands. After a moment of deliberation, Xie Lian said in the half-moon language, "General Ke Mo, calm down."
This strange burly man was naturally Ke Mo, who had escaped from Bronze Cauldron Mountain after the tens of thousands of ghosts became restless. He was captured by Xie Lian. Later, during the interrogation, he saw Pei Ming, who was standing on Pei Su's side. When enemies met, their eyes were exceptionally red. Without a second word, he kicked at her heart, causing the sword to tilt by an inch!
