The number one military god of the Taiping Army, the invincible Sky Demon, truly lives up to his reputation and possesses extraordinary power.
The two masses of ice, formed with fire energy, quickly reacted with the surrounding air. After just a few seconds, one side turned into a big fireball, and the other side condensed into ice, and light snow fell. This amazing
This was the first time Xu Hezi had seen this scene in his life.
Moreover, what is really amazing is not just what is seen with the eyes. In the Qi machine induction, what Xuhezi senses is not as simple as two air masses. The energy of the two masses is rotating at high speed, constantly interacting with the outside world.
The connection and reaction are like two huge mountains, majestic and sublime, but can collapse at any time.
Obviously, the two positions just now were destroyed by this move. The raging fire and endless ice wiped out more than a hundred people in an instant. Xuhezi thought of a rumor that the Demon Sect of Middle Earth
There is a set of very powerful evil skills called Shura Tribulation. Each level of this set of evil skills,
They are all named after hell, imitating the various sufferings in hell, including ice and fire. According to the survivors who have experienced it personally, this set of evil skills is powerful and very terrifying, but... Xuhezi is sure
, no matter how powerful that set of evil skills is, it is definitely not as good as the scene in front of you.
"Hmph! What makes us choose? Do you think this is cat and mouse and you are sure to win?"
At the critical moment, Xu Jiangzi's sudden words were really shocking. Hearing his brother's angry shouts, Xu Hezi was secretly frightened. The pressure and restraint on his whole body was relieved a bit, and he was able to move. He first looked towards
Brother, look at the situation.
When he was in a desperate situation, Xu Hezi also thought about the hope of survival. Apart from having a top expert come to rescue him, another small possibility was that his brother's body had changed again. In the previous crisis, his brother's body had changed.
The danger has been resolved, but now death is imminent. Although my brother cannot defeat the sky demon no matter how much he transforms, there is at least a hope.
However, turning around and looking sideways, Xu Hezi's hope came to nothing. Xu Jiangzi's condition remained the same, no change. It was not like the transformation that day, with all kinds of strange things. He just had an angry look on his face and pointed his hand towards the sky.
The demon is just shouting in anger.
"If you are really a hero, don't act like a master on the top of the tree. Come down and take my move. Even if you die, our brothers will die convinced."
"...Ha, young people are indeed young people, they are very courageous!"
There was not much good intention in the Tian Yao's sneer. Normally, if he encountered such a request for a duel, he would have killed him casually without even saying a word. Otherwise, given the size of the world, everyone would
If you come here and ask for a move, even if you are the best in martial arts, you will be annoyed to death.
The reason why I didn't do this to Xu Jiangzi was because this young man was indeed a bit special. He was obviously suppressed by his own coercive Qi machine. He should have difficulty even breathing and panting, but suddenly he was not affected by the Qi machine and stood up and pointed at people.
Damn, this is really strange. Could it be...he has practiced some special Heluo martial arts?
"If you are not affected by Qi, I should reconsider your evaluation of Heluo's martial arts. Since a duel is a requirement that you spend your last life on, I will make an exception to see what the hot-blooded man has to offer.
What special skills can you use to save your life?"
Following the sound, the sky demon disappeared in an instant, leaving only the wind and snow in the sky, and a fire dragon circling down, heading straight towards Xu Jiangzi and the two of them.
Faced with an enemy attack and unable to avoid it, Xu Hezi's first reaction was to fight back with his sword. However, facing such power, the sword was like a dragonfly shaking a tree. He didn't know where to stab. After a moment of hesitation, the blazing fire
The energy is already coming.
Xu Jiangzi is facing the same situation. Although he looks brave and fearless on the outside, he is uneasy in his heart. However, the breathing method recorded in the kit works and relieves the pressure of the sky demon. Now he can only continue to believe.
According to the instructions in the brochure, the Liangyi Sword that has been practiced for a long time is used to thrust out this style.
"Tian Yao! Take the move!"
Holding out a form of "Liang Yi Qian Kun", Xu Jiangzi's sword pointed at the center of the raging fire. In front of his eyes, only a sheet of flames rose into the sky, and the sky demon could not be seen at all. According to the principles of the sword, this sword would first divide the hostility it endured.
Yin and Yang, after removing 40% of their power, are then borne by the swordsman. However, when encountering the sky demon, Xu Jiangzi did not dare to expect the effect of this sword at all.
The reality was indeed cruel. Before the flames reached the flames, the long swords held by Xu Jiangzi and Xu Hezi had been twisted and deformed. The tiger's mouth burst out and bled, the wrists were broken, and even the sleeves were burned by the contact with the hot air. Within seconds, the two brothers
It was the fate of being wiped out. Suddenly, the fire disappeared, leaving only frost and snow falling from the sky. In an instant, the two of them were covered in ice. They felt a biting cold and lost consciousness.
Before he fell into a coma, many things flashed through Xu Jiangzi's mind, which were absolutely confidential and even Xu Hezi knew nothing about.
At first, when Ximen Zhuyu mentioned the strategy to deal with the sky demon, his expression was very ugly. He hesitated to speak several times. In the end, he couldn't even say it, so he could only hand it over with a tips bag. Xu Jiangzi thought it was because it was too difficult, so he just said
It didn't work, so I wrote the whole strategy in the kit. Logically speaking, this kind of kit can only be opened at the most critical moment, but anyway, Ximen Zhuyu didn't give any special instructions, so he left with the front foot, and Xu Jiangzi left with the back foot.
Opened the bag.
"This guy, what kind of tips are you trying to learn from others? I don't have a good brain. If there are seventeen or eight steps in the tips, if I dismantle them temporarily and be dumbfounded on the spot, wouldn't I die without a burial place?"
In addition to this worry, Xu Jiangzi is even more worried about Ximen Zhuyu's unrestrained personality when playing. If this guy gets excited about playing, and there is only a grimace on the note in the kit, it will really
If you encounter a celestial demon, you have to make a fierce face at the celestial demon, then you will really die with your eyes open.
Fortunately, Ximen Zhu Yu was in advance of the incident and had thought of the time for Xu Jiangzi to open the bag, and the content recorded in the bag also took a long time to prepare and practice. If it was opened at the last moment, it would really be a dead end.
Xu Jiangzi read the note in the kit again, and his scalp was numb. Although there were instructions in it, there was no explanation at all. He read it several times, but he only knew what it was, not why, and he couldn't figure out what to do.
Use these things to deal with the sky demon.
The first paragraph of the note records two sets of exercises, one is the special breathing method, and the other is the Heluo School's Liangyi Swordsmanship. Although it is the swordsmanship of the Heluo School, the inner secret of the sword is
But it was completely different. The method of luck and hard work was completely changed, and it was more than ten times more complicated than before. It took Xu Jiangzi several months to complete both sets of exercises. During the practice, he also prayed to gods and Buddhas.
, be sure not to encounter the demon before you have completed your training.
The subsequent development of things gave Xu Jiangzi some courage. The explanation in the note was that if he encountered a sky demon, the coercive Qi machine emitted by the sky demon alone would be enough to render ordinary masters unable to move, and the breathing technique could dispel it.
The body is in a stiff state, and then the sword is drawn at the sky demon; if the sky demon does not emit coercive energy as soon as it appears, then the sword is drawn directly.
"If the sky demon attacks you directly as soon as it appears, then all the bullshit methods will be useless. You will be shattered into pieces and reincarnated directly. Don't take it for granted, Shang Xiang!"
These words had a great impact on fighting spirit. Xu Jiangzi tried hard to forget these words before he had the courage to prepare. Fortunately, these preparations came in handy. He was also lucky. The sky demon did not attack as soon as he came up. Ximen Zhuyu taught
The breathing technique successfully relieved the stiffness in the limbs, allowing him to thrust out the sword he had practiced so hard for many months.
Things were going smoothly until this point, until his whole body suddenly went cold and his vision turned black. Before he completely lost consciousness, Xu Jiangzi couldn't help cursing in his mind. Ximen Zhuyu's strategy of responding to the enemy was ineffective, and he was frozen into ice.
After being killed, the body was shattered into pieces and reincarnated directly. How could there be any chance to implement the subsequent strategy?
However, it wasn't until Xu Jiangzi regained consciousness and Yuyou woke up that he realized that the instructions in the kit were not meaningless.
When he woke up, he was in a wooden house. Judging from the flags hanging around, it was the Taiping Army's place. It was obvious that he had become a prisoner and was caught in the enemy's camp.
It's not a big deal to be captured by others, but it's incredible that I can save my life in the hands of the sky demon. Moreover, this has absolutely nothing to do with my own strength. The power of that blow at that time destroyed the earth and the sky.
, as if nothing in the world could stop him, his sword was melted, his wrist was broken, and he was not killed on the spot. It was really strange.
The only explanation is that the sky demon used his strength, otherwise everything would be wiped out with one blow, how could there be any physiology? The flames of that blow alone were enough to wipe him out into ashes, but he suddenly turned fire into ice, forcibly turning himself into ashes.
To freeze it, special skill must be applied, otherwise the extreme temperature difference alone would be enough to destroy the human body. These... all prove the fact that the demon is deliberately showing mercy.
What's more, Xu Jiangzi lowered his head and saw that his arm was fully bandaged. This was more powerful evidence than anything else.
It seems that... the strategy pointed out by Ximen Zhuyu is considered a success. As long as we follow the next few steps and carry out the strategy, we will have hope of survival. If there is any problem, it is... the advice in the tips bag
Those responses to the dialogue, Xu Jiangzi had no idea what they meant.
While I was thinking, the door suddenly opened, and a man came in from the outside. He was tall and thin, wearing a mask. It was the Sky Demon himself. He closed the door and stared at Xu Jiangzi. Silently, the inexplicable sense of oppression enveloped him again.
In the room, Xu Jiangzi was shivering all over, and it was even harder to breathe. He had to use the breathing and breathing techniques taught in the kit to fight against it. Only with a stroke of luck, the oppressive energy was immediately lifted.
"Sure enough, it's my sect's inner workings. I almost made a mistake and missed something important." The sky demon came to Xu Jiangzi's bedside and asked: "Are you our sect's chess piece?"
Xu Jiangzi didn’t know what the chess pieces meant at all, but this was the most important point in the instructions in the kit. He immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, the sixth period of Gengzi... uh! Why do you know? Could it be...
"
Pretending to be surprised is a hard job for Xu Jiangzi. He is not good at lying, so it took him a lot of time to practice. And the hard work of long practice has paid off today. When this question After the words were spoken, although the actual expression of the ghost mask with green face and fangs could not be seen, Xu Jiangzi noticed that the sky demon did have an emotional reaction.
"wrong!"
The sky demon gave a sharp shout, and murderous aura surged around his body, causing the temperature in the entire room to drop drastically. Xu Jiangzi was the first to bear the brunt, and his teeth were almost chattering from the cold.
"I also know a little bit about the chess pieces of our sect. Among the chess pieces produced by Gengzi in the sixth period, why have I never heard of a person like you? Chichengzi is not a fool, how can you infiltrate his sect? I want to You are talking nonsense in front of me, hey! You are really courageous!"
The sky demon slapped Xu Jiangzi's forehead with one claw, and the freezing ice temperature and huge pressure were exerted on the top of his head. It was worse than any torture. His brain seemed to explode, and he was too cold to think. If he hadn't already mastered the coping strategies. Keep it in mind, it's impossible to think of it now.
"Master, the master once had a request..."
"oh?"
The word "master" seemed to have a strange magical power. The demon relaxed when he heard it, allowing Xu Jiangzi, who walked around in front of the King of Hell, to finish the sentence.
"The leader once asked me that if I encounter someone in the Taiping Army who captures me but does not kill me, and recognizes my identity, I will hand this thing over to him as proof to prove my identity."
"What?"
The Tianyao's tone was stern. Xu Jiangzi knew that if he didn't handle it well, he would be shattered into pieces. He quickly reached into his arms and took out the object that had been stored close to him for more than half a year.
That thing is a thin piece of cloth, with tiny characters written densely on it, but no matter whether you read it horizontally, vertically, or even skipping, you can't effectively read the meaning. The material of the cloth is quite special, and when you apply force, you can't read it effectively. The stretchability of pulling is astonishingly good. Even if it is pulled thin, it will not be worn or broken. Although Xu Jiangzi has not tested it, but based on speculation, this piece of cloth may not be cut with a knife or burned with a fire. I don’t know what it is. thing.
For more than half a year, Xu Jiangzi has studied this amulet repeatedly, thinking about many possibilities, but still can't think of it. Now life and death depend on it. Xu Jiangzi held his breath and handed the piece of cloth up with both hands.
The sky demon took the piece of cloth and didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw the small characters on the cloth clearly, his body trembled and the hand holding the piece of cloth started to shake.
"This...this is...Bai Bian...of our sect..."
Xu Jiangzi was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat. He stared at the palm of the sky demon and found that the palm looked very young. It could not be more than forty years old at most. In other words, the actual age of the sky demon should be more than thirty years old. ...It is indeed a big secret in the world.
"Brother... no, the leader... well, this thing was given to you personally by the leader?"
The stern look in the sky demon's eyes was like a raging wave from the sea. In this situation, Xu Jiangzi could do nothing but nod vigorously, and when he nodded his head, the situation also became dramatic. After the transformation, the sky demon's murderous eyes, which were originally extremely sharp, became softer in an instant, and even... could be said to be like a spring breeze.
"It's true, you are a member of our sect... What a coincidence, the flood rushed to the Dragon King Temple, but at your age, Gengzi Sixth Period... It's strange, Chichengzi is not an honest and dull person, so you can hide it from him It’s extremely difficult, how come...”
Tianyao murmured to himself, seeming to still be suspicious, but Xu Jiangzi did not dare to answer a word. Soon after, Tianyao was relieved and said: "It's not surprising, the leader has great magical powers, and our sect's methods have always been good."
The ghosts and gods are unpredictable, and it is wonderful to be able to bury chess pieces next to the head of Heluo..."
Hearing this, Xu Jiangzi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally deceived the sky demon and saved his life. This time he passed the test.
"Um...please ask, my junior brother..."
This sentence was not included in the instructions in the kit. Xu Jiangzi was worried about his brother's safety and couldn't bear to blurt it out. However, in order not to cause more danger, he deliberately did not use the word "brother".
"You don't have to worry. I noticed my true energy in your Liangyi Sword before I took action. I guessed your identity, so I didn't kill you. I waited for confirmation. I also spared the life of the little Taoist priest. After all, he is
It's your blessing. You were able to lurk under Chichengzi and hold great interests of our sect. Fortunately, I recognized you. Otherwise, you would have wasted your life and ruined our sect's major events."
Tian Yao said: "You can't stay here for a long time. I will arrange for you as soon as possible. If you can escape from me this time, you will be famous in the world and your status in the righteous way of China will also rise. I hope you will make good use of the opportunity and complete it in the future."
The great cause of our sect.”
No matter how he answered, it was wrong. All Xu Jiangzi could do was nod. Xunsi Tianyao didn't know how to let the two of them leave, but with his status as a near-leader in the Taiping Army, it should be easy to give orders, right?
Tian Yao is obviously not a talkative person, and after getting the piece of cloth, his excitement is obvious. He even stood there, holding the piece of cloth tightly in his hand, in a daze, which made Xu Jiangzi tremble with fear.
, I am afraid that if I make a mistake in one response, I will lose everything and destroy the life path I have worked so hard to build.
"Well..."
Faintly, I heard the voice of the heavenly demon, muttering to himself as if unconsciously.
"The leader...how is he doing lately?"
Xu Jiangzi was shocked and didn't know how to answer. Fortunately, the sky demon woke up quickly and said with a dumb smile: "He has always been secretive, and no one will know his condition. It's in vain for me to ask you this."
After finishing speaking, the sky demon floated away. When leaving, Xu Jiangzi looked at his back from behind and felt that this figure was extremely thin and did not have the domineering power to kill the contemporary generation. Before the sky demon opened the door,
, and coughed a few times, which made Xu Jiangzi even more confused.
Normally, a master who has practiced martial arts to a certain level is invulnerable to diseases. At the level of a heavenly demon, let alone ordinary diseases, ordinary natural forces, water, fire, swords, etc., cannot harm him.
I have a cough, and it doesn’t sound like an ordinary dry cough. It sounds like a cough that I have suffered for many years. This is really strange.
Xu Jiangzi's heart moved. At this moment, he felt that he might have grasped the weakness of the undefeated demon. This man... I'm afraid he is not as powerful as he imagined. In the past, in the army, people only mentioned him, even though he was called
"That person", in my heart, I thought he was a ghost, but at this moment, it seems... he is still just a person.
As long as a person is not a god, he cannot be defeated. Xu Jiangzi firmly believed in this idea at this time.
However, in retrospect, it is really difficult to understand why the life can be saved now. The sky demon's mercy is definitely not a sign of mercy, but because he has mistakenly recognized his companion and regarded himself as his.
Fellow travelers, but... who are his fellow travelers?
When the world mentions the name of the Sky Demon, the only thing they know is that it is the undefeated God of War of the Taiping Army, who is invincible. As for the origin of this undefeated God of War, it has always been very mysterious and hidden under the shady curtain. From what I heard today,
It seemed that Tianyao himself belonged to another sect, and he still maintained considerable loyalty to this sect, so as soon as he recognized one of his own, he immediately took action to protect him.
So, what is this mysterious sect? The power structure of the Taiping Army is really a mess. Not only is there a black hand behind the scenes, but there is also an unknown shady secret behind the leader of the Tianyao.
, it was really dark.
In addition, what role does Ximen Zhuyu play? He obviously understands these things and is able to make these arrangements today. But looking at the world, it is impossible for anyone else to know about these things. Ximen Zhuyu can know them.
The most reasonable explanation for these secrets... is that he is Tianyao's "own one".
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this matter is not simple. I wonder how big a shady story is hidden behind it? To put down the chaos of the Taiping Army, we must first unravel this shady story. Although there are no clues yet,
but……
Suddenly, something appeared in Xu Jiangzi's mind. It was Ximen Zhuyu's expression when he handed over the tip bag. He must have felt deeply embarrassed about this matter, knowing that once the tip bag was handed over, many shady things would be revealed.
He could no longer keep the secret. However, no matter how difficult it was, he still handed over this tip to himself and tried his best to save his own life. There was a good intention here...
Thinking of this, Xu Jiangzi had to admit that this delinquent friend who held a sword against his neck every time he appeared was actually quite interesting, and...maybe even the most loyal friend around him.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door was suddenly opened again, but it was not fully opened, just a small crack. Xu Jiangzi initially thought that the door was not closed securely and was blown open by the wind, but he found someone hiding behind the door, through the crack.
Xiaosiao looked this way.
This is the territory of the Taiping Army. It stands to reason that the sky demon would not be so boring. Who is secretly peeking at this place really puzzles Xu Jiangzi.
Fortunately, this doubt was quickly solved. The wooden door moved, and a petite figure quickly walked into the room. Xu Jiangzi was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, the person hiding behind the door and peeking was not a combatant, but a soldier.
A girl of ten years old.
The girl's long hair hung down, covering half of her face. The half of her face that was exposed looked just delicate, not a very eye-catching beauty. Xu Jiangzi noticed that this girl's skin was very white.
He has the kind of pale skin that has not seen the light of day all year round, his skin quality is not good, and he is surprisingly thin. His thin arms are so thin that the bones are almost visible, and he looks malnourished.
Xu Jiangzi's first feeling was that this girl was not well cared for, but the clothes she was wearing were made of very expensive silk. There was no reason for someone who could wear such good-quality clothes in wartime and on the battlefield to be malnourished.
ah!
Moreover, the girl's hair was earthy yellow, her eyes were as green as jade, and her outline did not look like a Chinese native at all. Xu Jiangzi asked curiously: "Are you a foreigner from outside the territory?"
"Mud's hand...does it hurt?"
The girl's pronunciation was very strange, with an exotic accent, and her articulation was also unclear, which confirmed Xu Jiangzi's speculation. She pointed to Xu Jiangzi's wrist and made bandaging movements, letting Xu Jiangzi understand that his wrist was exactly the same.
After being bandaged with medicine, she quickly bowed and thanked him.
"Thank you ... uh!"
At the moment of bending, Xuan Jiangzi was shocked by a small jump, and he saw the other half of the face covered by the hair.
Unlike the semi -beautiful face that comes out of 'Lu', the half face covered by brown hair is full of scars of the scars on the pit.
I certainly see if I have seen Sessen's bones, but one of them is very certain, that is, in the eyes of the girl, there are no eyes, or even no eyelids. There is only a horrible pit.
There will be no natural disability to give birth to such a face in the world. It is 100 % harmful. This is like this. Xu Jiangzi instantly feels an indignation. No matter what the reason is, use this method to abuse a young girl.
It's all an angry thing. He wanted to ask the girl if the Taiping Army hurt her.
However, the girl reacted the first step. She laughed and seemed to see Xu Jiangzi's indignation. She smiled and patted Xu Jiangzi's shoulders and thanked it with a smile.
With such a smile, in the eyes of Xujiangzi, the beauty of Qingxiu's face could not be said, and even the damaged side did not look so scary, as if there was infinite magic in this smile.
"Mud ... is a good person."
The girl spoke in the fluent Chinese language, filled with a smile, and to Xujiangzi than the thumb.
Xujiangzi noticed another other thing. Usually, the female 'sex' that was damaged by the face should be very taboo, and the movement was shining, but in this girl's body, she could not see such a phenomenon at all. She laughed.
It's brilliant, natural, and don't take the disability on the face, which gives people a deep impression.
"Mud and stepping are all good people ... I, Shama ... the first time I saw Taxi like this ..."
The voice is vague and slow, and it is slow to say that the girl can't help but point out. Xu Jiangzi understands that the girl's name is Samma, and the "he" in her mouth refers to the sky demon that leaves soon.
Saying the heavenly demon is a good person. Do n’t say that there will be no one in officers and soldiers, that is, in the Taiping Army, I am afraid that few people will really echo it, but when Shama says this, the expression is very natural. I am convinced of this sentence.
No doubt, Xujiangzi immediately realized that the relationship between this woman and the heavenly demon was very special, and her status in the Taiping Army was also very special.
... The heavenly monster of the ghost is not only the side of the human "sex ', but it also seems to have weaknesses. If you can grasp this weakness, can you defeat the heavenly demon?
The thoughts that appeared in an instant made Xu Jiangzi's heart jump, but when he saw Shama's smile, he shook his head sharply, secretly blamed himself as despicable, and actually gave birth to this idea.
Pressing the thoughts, Xu Jiangzi had a correct expression, and thanked Shama seriously. Thank you for bandaging his wrist for herself. Samma heard the words and laughed with satisfaction.
"Shama, good at this ... Every time he is hurt, it is Shama ... it is dealt with."
Shama does not use words and phrases. I often stop in speaking. I think on my side and choose the appropriate word before I continue to finish it. The innocent expression can see that she does not involve the world affairs. Xujiangzi even feels guilty.
Because although he did not deliberately talked, this naive girl had already said too much.
"Mud, are you hungry?"
The girl's words relieved Xu Jiangzi's guilt, but compared to hunger, there was a more important thing at hand, which was the safety of his younger brother. Xu Jiangzi expressed tactfully that he wanted to see the one who was brought with him
I thought this was not an easy matter, but I didn't expect Shama to agree immediately, take Xu Jiangzi out of the room, and wander around to find Xu Hezi.
Shama said that Xu Hezi also bandaged his arm himself and talked to Xu Hezi for a while. These things made Xu Jiangzi feel at ease. The two met many Taiping soldiers while walking, and they all expressed their gratitude to Xu Jiangzi.
They cast strange looks at them, but no one dared to stop them, allowing the two of them to pass without hindrance.
However, when they arrived at the wooden house where Xuhezi was supposed to be under house arrest, he saw a crowd of people gathered there. The wooden house was half destroyed and the people inside were missing. Xujiangzi knew something was wrong and quickly asked Shama.
Ma Ze asked the officer in charge of this place and got a strange answer.
"They said that there was a strange masked man who took people away just now..."
