Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Snatching a Person from the Tiger's Mouth
As the saying goes, when two meet on a narrow road, the bravest wins!
I don't have the authentic skills of my master, and the ability of the ceremonial officer is limited to theory. At this time, I can only fight with my own passion.
Since I have started, there will be no hesitation.
Fortunately, I acted suddenly, and the bear spirit was completely unprepared for me. In a blink of an eye, I crashed into its arms, and a fishy smell came to my nose. It was too tall, even if it turned into a human form, it was like an iron tower. I jumped up and used the knife it threw to me to kill it. I chopped it on the face. The blade had already wedged into the bones, and the skin and flesh rolled up, but it failed to split its head.
Aohou!
The bear roared and snarled. The blow did not kill me, but it aroused its ferocity. Its face became blurred, as if covered with double images, one layer was a human, and the other layer was a beast face covered with black hair. It swung its palm like a palm leaf fan and slapped me.
Its power was too great. When it slapped me, I felt as if my whole body was falling apart, and I was directly knocked to the ground.
Seeing this, it took advantage of the situation and stepped on my head with its big feet. I rolled along the ground and barely avoided it. I got up and ran away.
At this time, Zhiniang had already faced the thing covered by the black robe, and Lao Bai broke free from the rope that bound it and went to stop the foxy girl. Only the injured bear stared at me.
The demons and monsters around probably came to their senses at this time, and rushed up to surround us.
The situation was extremely urgent.
I knew I couldn't get entangled with him. If I continued to entangle with him, I would have no chance at all. After dodging the bear spirit's attacks several times in a row, I shook open the rag wrapped around the Tianguan Blade.
The situation was unforgiving, so I had to use this thing.
I was now in the state of a paper man, with no blood at all. I didn't care whether it was useful or not. While dodging, I reached out and rubbed the Tianguan Blade hard. This thing was not flat, and there were many bumps on it. When my palm passed over it, it scraped the paper skin in my palm and rolled up.
Then... I felt something tremble in my lower abdomen.
The next moment, flames suddenly burst out of my body.
The Tianguan Blade awakened and echoed with the Earth Spirit Pearl. The terrifying yang energy directly ignited me. The burning pain made me scream in pain. Even the ghosts and monsters that surrounded me retreated suddenly, fearing it.
Only the bear spirit had red eyes and didn't care at all.
This is a mad bear. It has become a spirit and still has a violent temper. It chased me and pounced on me again.
"Die!"
I roared, endured the burning pain all over my body, and swung the Tianguan Blade to hit the mad bear's head!
I swung this stick out completely by instinct. There was no accuracy at all. It didn't hit the head of the mad bear at all. However, the extremely dramatic thing was... the mad bear's head was not hit, but the knife hanging on the bear's head was hit squarely. The knife was originally wedged in the bone. This stick went over... The whole knife was completely immersed in the mad bear's head, and the skull was pierced. No matter how strong it was, it couldn't withstand such torment. It cried and fell to the ground.
I was not feeling well either. The moment the Tianguan Blade hit the opponent, the opponent also hit me hard. My tonnage was much lighter than its, and I was directly knocked away. I was severely injured, and the Yin Qi on my body instantly dissipated too much.
When I landed, the demons and monsters that had just been scared away by the Heavenly Official Blade surrounded me.
There were too many of them, like a tide. My eyes were suddenly shrouded in darkness, and there were ghosts everywhere. I was so desperate that I didn't think I could survive at all. I roared and waved the Heavenly Official Blade in my hand.
I heard screams, and I definitely hit something, but I was also scratched all over, especially the scars on my chest, which were at least one centimeter deep, and the paper skin was rolling...
However, this random waving scared away the things that surrounded me.
It seems that these corpses, ghosts, and monsters are also afraid of death, even more than the living. The living still have a chance to die, but they will be completely wiped out when they die.
Seizing this gap, I jumped up and viciously pounced on the corpses, ghosts, and monsters that were blocking here.
At this time, I was burned by Yang Qi, and I was suffering from great torment and pain all the time. I even felt that I couldn't get over this hurdle. When I was on the verge of death, my ferocity emerged. I roared like a wounded beast, and my head was full of crazy thoughts of dragging people to death. As long as I saw something that was not human, I would pounce on it and swing the Heavenly Official Blade to smash it.
In fact, my threat to these things was very limited. I was not a martial artist, and my fighting skills were not as good as those of gangsters. Even if I could knock down one or two occasionally when I rushed into the ghost frenzy, they were mostly small ghosts and monsters. Those with a little Taoism could easily avoid them, but they were frightened by my desperate posture and didn't fight me head-on.
A weird and funny scene appeared.
Obviously, I was a rookie with no means, but I was able to maneuver among a large group of vicious things. Wherever I passed, these things immediately gave way.
Seeing this, Zhiniang and Laobai stopped fighting with Hu Meizi and the black-robed man. After forcing them to retreat, they followed me closely.
"No need to fight to the death!"
The black-robed man suddenly raised his hand to stop the demons and ghosts around him. His voice was hoarse, revealing an indescribable viciousness: "It's just the last gasp of a spent force. The Yin body moves the Yang organ, and it can't hold on for long. We just need to follow it slowly, and it won't be long before its soul will be scattered. There is no need to fight with him at all. The things in his hand should be taboos. If you block it, you may suffer a great loss!"
Under the command of this black-robed man, I was really unstoppable here for a while. I rushed forward blindly, and the huge ghost market was messed up by me.
However, this black-robed man really hit my weakness.
The Yang energy burned my body, which was more painful than being burned to death. My soul was trembling. Under the severe pain, my thinking ability was almost lost, and I only knew to rush forward in a daze.
At first, only the cardboard on my body was burnt, but soon the burnt black layer disappeared, and my whole body became transparent.
This time I was injured much more seriously than the last time, even my steps began to shake, and my vision became more and more blurred. I felt countless tentacles in the air around me, grabbing me and pulling me madly, trying to tear me apart.
This... is probably a sign of death.
Lao Bai and Zhi Niang wanted to take the Tianguan Blade from me, but this thing was like sticking to my palm, and I couldn't pull it away no matter what. Instead, it hurt them. Zhi Niang's hand was burned black, and Lao Bai screamed, as if countless barbs grew on the Tianguan Blade the moment he held it, and his palm was bleeding.
I was no longer able to support myself, my vision was blurred, and I was about to fall.
The ghosts that surrounded us but never pounced on us began to get agitated. I don't know which ghost it was, but suddenly shouted "Wow". I thought they were finally going to attack, so I subconsciously raised the Heavenly Official Blade. However, the fact was not as I expected. Instead, these ghosts scattered like birds and beasts in an instant, running wildly towards the mountains on both sides of the valley.
Not only them, but even Zhiniang's face suddenly changed, and she fled with these ghosts.
The corpse ghosts and monsters that surrounded us gradually dispersed, and a slender figure fell into my eyes. He leaned on a sword in one hand and held a head full of green hair in the other hand. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his clothes rustled, but there were many damages on them, and blood was faintly seeping out. In the dim environment, only the pair of eyes were bright and deep, but also cold and scary.
It's my master!
He is finally back!
I don't know why. I was on the verge of death, but the flames on my body were still not extinguished. But after seeing my master, I felt inexplicably calm. I smiled softly and was about to step forward, but I couldn't help but fell forward because I was too weak.
My master threw away the head and turned into a stream of light. I only saw a black shadow flash, and then he appeared in front of me. He immediately held me with his hand and tapped my forehead lightly. The flames on my body immediately went out.
Dingdang!
The Heavenly Official Blade fell to the side, black as a fire stick. Where was the brilliant appearance just now?
Then, my master took out a pill that looked like it was rubbed with gold powder and stuffed it into my mouth.
The pill melted in my mouth, and the force pulling me disappeared.
I knew that my life should be saved.
"Hiss, you're willing to give this thing away?"
Lao Bai took a breath and said in amazement: "You've reached the point of breaking through recently, and this thing is what you use to save your life!"
I don't know what the pill is, but listening to Lao Bai, it must be an extremely precious thing. My master used it to save his life, but gave it to me!
I opened my mouth and wanted to say something to thank you, but... it seemed that saying thousands of words would be useless. I just felt sad and almost cried. If... I had tears.
Lao Bai wanted to say something, but was glared back by my master.
"Remember, he saved your life!"
My master looked at Lao Bai expressionlessly and said angrily: "Although I don't know what happened, I can probably guess that Jingzhe's fall to this point must be related to you. I checked him before he left this time. He was afraid of his life, but there was no sign of his physiognomy in the twelve palaces. It was not until you came that his life palace was faintly black. At that time, I knew that you might bring him an adverse effect on this trip, and it was definitely not the disaster he should have in his life. But you came to help after all. People have already arrived, and I can't say anything more. Unexpectedly..."
Lao Bai was embarrassed by what he said. He scratched his head repeatedly and coughed lightly. Then he said: "Okay, don't say anything. I owe Xiao Weizi a life. I recognize this favor..."
This bastard is very thick-skinned. He came in front of me and "crackling" was a crazy slap, saying that if he was an old woman, he would simply pledge his body to me.
I had survived a disaster, so I really didn't want to pay attention to him. I hurriedly said to my master: "Xinya and Brother Yaozi are still on that mountain. We encountered a big snake that was about to become a spirit, and also encountered ghost soldiers. A lot of luggage was left there..."
Unexpectedly, my master was very calm after hearing this, but showed a little strange color, and his words were very similar to Zhiniang's: "They... should be fine, but I'll go look for them. You wait here, nothing will bother you anymore. The mountain ghost king ran into me and was killed by me. The rest of the little demons should be busy running for their lives now!"
I subconsciously looked at the head covered with green hair not far away. That should be the mountain ghost king...
"By the way..."
Before leaving, my master suddenly looked at me and said with a smile: "Next time the painted Rakshasa shows up again, remember to tell her not to hide. Although I am a Taoist, I will not kill a little ghost who protects my apprentice everywhere for no reason, haha..."
After saying that, he held up the three-foot-long Qingfeng sword and left with his head up...
