Chapter 21: The Powerful Ghost King
Qi Xuansu chose a secluded corner and flew over the high courtyard wall without making any sound, landing in the mansion. This should be a backyard, far away from bright lights. Except for a few scattered lights and patrolling guards, the rest of the place is dark.
Qi Xuansu walked quickly against the wall, avoiding the patrolling guards, and soon found the traces of the two carriages, but at this time the carriages were empty and the women inside were missing.
Qi Xuansu is not familiar with Jinling Mansion, and it is difficult to guess where this place is. There are many things these days, and he has not had time to complete the "Qi Watching Technique" and "Innate Divine Calculation" of the Sanren Holy Embryo Realm. Time makes it impossible to find the whereabouts of those women.
Just when Qi Xuansu felt a little hesitant, he suddenly felt a breeze blowing up behind him.
Qi Xuansu was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles. He was suddenly startled and had no time to turn around. He rolled forward and avoided the sneak attack from behind.
The person who attacked Qi Xuansu was an old man with white hair. Unexpectedly, Qi Xuansu escaped his attack. He was startled, and then he attacked Qi Xuansu with his five fingers like hooks.
When Qi Xuansu rolled forward, he had already pulled out the "Qingyuan" from his waist and stabbed it out with his sword.
To Qi Xuansu's surprise, the old man pressed his chest against the tip of "Qingyuan"'s sword, as if he was indestructible, and slapped Qi Xuansu's forehead hard with his palm.
Qi Xuansu's head suddenly tilted back, his forehead a patch of blue and red, but at the same time, he swept his sword across his hand, cutting a deep blood groove on the old man's neck.
The old man tilted his head and clamped the sword's edge with his neck.
Qi Xuansu simply let go of "Qingyuan" in his hand, then pulled out "Feiying" and stabbed it out.
The old man was still too conceited to dodge, and secretly planned to take the blow and kill the man with one hand.
It's just that "Feiying", as a top spiritual object, is as sharp as a treasure. Compared with it, "Qingyuan" can be regarded as a blunt weapon.
By the time the old man realized that this knife was unusual, it was too late.
"Feiying" just pierced the old man's chest.
Then Qi Xuansu pushed the knife forward, causing his feet to leave the ground, and his whole body suddenly fell into a wall.
The old man died on the spot and could no longer die.
Qi Xuansu withdrew his sword, his expression a little solemn.
This person is actually a returning martial artist. If Qi Xuansu is just an ordinary layman and does not have any weapons at his disposal, it may not be easy to win.
It's just that one wave has not subsided and another wave has arisen, and another figure follows closely behind.
Qi Xuansu recognized this person at a glance, the powerful ghost king of "Heavenly Court".
It's not that Qi Xuansu has dealt with this person, but the powerful ghost king is well-known in the world, and his realm and cultivation are second to none. The key is that his appearance is very special, with horns on his forehead and dark skin, just like in the storybook. Like a bull devil.
The reason for this is that this person once ate a bull demon alive. Although his level of cultivation has greatly increased, he has the characteristics of a demon, which made him famous far and wide, and Qi Xuansu also heard about it. Just as Qi Xuansu was not in Yujing in the past, he also knew that a young immortal was given a semi-immortal object.
As for the issue of demonization, Taoism has already studied this. The blood of ancient beasts has various magical uses.
For example, "dragon's blood" can cleanse the menstruation and cut the marrow after taking it. Even a disabled person with blocked meridians and destroyed Dantian can become a genius. Taking "Phoenix Blood" can lead to immortality, which is as mysterious as the rebirth of a warrior's flesh and blood. Taking "White Tiger Blood" can greatly increase your strength, increase your blood energy, and break through the limitations of the human body. As for taking "Kilin Blood", it can improve your state of cultivation.
It's just that whether these blood or flesh-and-blood demon elixirs have serious side effects, they are extremely dangerous when taken, and a little carelessness can endanger lives. This is one of them. The second is that after taking it, various animal-like characteristics will appear in the human body, or it will become crazy, or it will be cruel and murderous, or it will become lustful, or its temperament will change drastically. In the long run, this will Waiting for external objects to be detrimental to one's realm of cultivation.
The powerful ghost king gave birth to horns as a side effect.
Qi Xuansu didn't have time to think deeply about how he had exposed his traces, so he raised the "Feiying" in his hand and pointed it directly at the powerful ghost king.
The figure of the powerful ghost king suddenly moved, and his palms instantly occupied all of Qi Xuansu's sight. The wind from his palms hit his face like a strong wind, making people almost suffocated.
The key to this palm is not the strength of the palm, but the fact that this palm can capture people's minds unexpectedly. If the mind is captured and a palm hits the face, they will be seriously injured even if they are not dead.
Qi Xuansu, however, was not caught by this palm. He dragged out a long blade with his sword and chopped it down towards the head of the powerful ghost king.
The powerful ghost king stood still with both feet on the spot, and the spine behind his back twisted like a dragon. From the spine, a series of bursting and roaring sounds were heard from his chest, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and five fingers, and he pushed forward with a palm.
As this palm was pushed out, the air in front of him began to vibrate and twist violently, causing "Feiying" to be stunned, and his indomitable momentum plummeted.
Qi Xuansu seemed to have expected it. With a flick of his wrist, the sword swept forward.
The powerful ghost king had no expression on his face and struck out again.
A seemingly simple and direct punch changed twelve ways in an instant, and at the same time brought out a huge whistling sound, causing cracks to varying degrees on the surrounding ground and walls at the same time. If there was a flesh and blood body, it would be fine. Within the range of this palm, everyone will be crushed into a ball of blood mist immediately.
The blade and fist collided silently, and then they both retreated.
After the two men stopped, they seemed calm, but Qi Xuansu's right hand holding the knife was trembling slightly. However, the powerful ghost king was not much better. After all, he was a flesh and blood body. A deep wound was cut on the palm behind his back, and the blood kept flowing.
The next moment, the powerful ghost king attacked again, and one punch instantly turned into more than a hundred punches. Qi Xuansu's sight was full of layers of fist shadows.
Qi Xuansu used the "Dayan Spiritual Knife" with all his strength, and the layers of knife light were like mist. For a while, there were only fist shadows and knife lights, and then a series of dense metal and stone sounds were heard.
The two men's fight gradually slowed down from the extremely fast start. Qi Xuansu stopped without any warning and suddenly rushed forward, and the ground under his feet broke into pieces. The powerful ghost king frowned, his body motionless. When Qi Xuansu swung his sword, he put one hand behind his back and rolled up his left sleeve. It seemed to be a light flick, but there was actually a sound of wind and thunder, and it collided violently with the "Feiying" blade, rubbing out a large string of sparks.
Then Qi Xuansu raised his foot and kicked the powerful ghost king in the chest, and the powerful ghost king took the opportunity to hold Qi Xuansu's ankle, turned his body and threw Qi Xuansu directly.
Qi Xuansu was seen throwing a huge rock at the wall like a catapult, and forced his body to twist in the air, so that his feet stepped on the wall, and after slightly bending his knees, he stepped on a circle of web-like cracks on the wall, and then reflected back at a faster speed.
Between coming and going, it was just a breath.
The powerful ghost king slapped Qi Xuansu on the forehead, and Qi Xuansu also slapped the powerful ghost king on the face with the belly of the "Fei Ying" knife. The two of them exerted force almost at the same time. Qi Xuansu suddenly leaned back and flew backwards, then bent his knees and stepped on the wall again, and ran on the circular wall, leaving a string of footprints.
The powerful ghost king's cheek was completely red and swollen. He slowly rolled up his sleeves expressionlessly, and saw the blue veins on his arms bulging like tiny dragons, and there were strands of purple air flowing in them, dense and daunting.
Qi Xuansu ran several feet on the curved wall, stepped on the ground, and his figure swept across like thunder. The "Fei Ying" in his hand cut out a crescent-shaped knife energy, which hit the powerful ghost king like water.
The powerful ghost king hooked his five fingers and tried to crush the sword energy directly, but he underestimated the true energy contained in the sword energy. He had to let go as soon as he touched it, and then changed to a hand knife to chop it in the air.
With a loud bang, Qi Xuansu staggered back.
The blue veins on the face, forehead, neck and other parts of the powerful ghost king were bulging, like a dragon.
The body of the powerful ghost king creaked and burst into a continuous burst of explosions.
The next moment, he stomped hard on the ground under his feet, and a big pit exploded. He used the recoil force to turn into a long rainbow and punched Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu passed by him and was directly knocked away by this punch. However, he also cut a wound about a foot long between the chest and abdomen of the powerful ghost king with a knife.
After the powerful ghost king landed, he took a deep breath, and his skin, bones and flesh burst all over his body, and then his fists collided.
It was as if a dull bell sounded.
With the powerful ghost king as the center, the visible blood and energy rolled out in all directions. He bent his knees slightly, swept his body, and when he was still three feet away from Qi Xuansu, he punched out with both fists.
Qi Xuansu held the handle of the "Feiying" with his right hand, and held the head of the knife with his left hand, pushing the knife forward.
The two collided with a loud bang, without any fancy moves, it was a real head-on collision.
