The laughter got louder and louder, and then there was a "rustling" sound coming from the woods. Looking for the sound, I saw a short figure slowly walking over...
I squinted my eyes and took a closer look, and saw that this man was of short stature and was wearing a dark robe that did not fit his body shape. His head was hidden in the hood of the robe, and the hem of the robe had fallen to the floor and was torn.
…
It looks like a child wearing adult clothes...
I tilted my head to see what he looked like, but the hood of his robe was so tightly covered that I couldn't see anything.
"Boy, you saved the bodyless ghosts, destroyed the resentment robe, and ruined my plan to refine the ghost head. I never thought that besides Huo Qiansuan's disciples, there would be a junior figure like you in Jiangcheng, haha..."
As soon as I said these words, I was confused. It seemed that this person didn't know who I was, so was he referring to Huo Qiansuan's apprentice... was I?
I looked at him steadily, pretending as if nothing had happened.
"Huo Qiansuan's apprentice? Who is it?"
He walked a few meters across from me and stopped.
"Of course he was famous in the mage world back then...forget it, I don't need to talk nonsense to you!"
Although he didn't finish what he said, I also knew that the person he was talking about was definitely not me, and was probably another disciple of the master.
"Then who are you?" I asked coldly.
"hehe…"
The man in black robe laughed hoarsely, and the black robe on his body trembled.
"Whether you know it or not is meaningless, because you are going to die soon!"
After saying that, he moved forward a few steps, and I subconsciously took a few steps back. I became nervous and at the same time pressed the tip of my teeth against my tongue, ready to bite the tip of my tongue at any time to save my life.
Although my Dharma body is broken, the soul-eating blood in my body will not be affected. If the opponent wants to fight hand to hand, I am naturally not afraid of him. If he wants to use any evil magic, the blood on my tongue can come in handy.
But the man in black robe suddenly stopped after taking a few steps forward. He paused for a moment and murmured to himself:
"No...it would be a pity to kill the monster. Huo Qian reckons that old man already has an apprentice...
Halfway through his words, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at me,
"Boy, as long as you promise me one thing, I will spare your life!"
I looked at him blankly, full of surprise, not because of what he said, but because I saw the hand under his robe...
The hand was white, tender, and very short, clearly the hand of a child!
I was shocked, it was obviously the voice of an old man, but how could his hands... Could he be a child?!
Just when I was surprised, the man in black robe suddenly withdrew his hand. He seemed to have noticed something strange about me, and asked through gritted teeth:
"Did you hear what I said to you?"
"Wha...what? What do you want me to promise?"
"Be my apprentice!"
"What?!"
I looked at him in surprise, and it took me a long time to recover. Although he was not weak in strength, in my eyes, he was left behind by his master. What's more, an evil mage still wanted to be my master.
It’s simply unreasonable!
But the current situation is very unfavorable to me. Of course I can't be such an idiot and confront him. I rolled my eyes and had some concerns in my heart, so I pretended to be difficult and said:
"I have seen your strength before, and it is more than enough to be my master, but...but I already have a disciple, if I join your disciple again, I'm afraid..."
"Hmph! Who is your master? Let me kill him. Then you can legitimately worship me as your master!"
I glanced around nervously, then took a few steps forward and whispered:
"Please keep your voice down. My senior brother is nearby, so don't let him hear you."
"Your senior brother? Then...ah!!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly let out a miserable scream.
At this time, I stared at him with a gloomy face, holding a peach wood nail in one hand, which had already been driven into his shoulder under the black robe. I leaned against his head and said in a deep voice:
"You attacked me with a black cock before and broke my Dharma Body. Now I will give it back to you!"
I was just about to use my other hand to pull off the robe and hat covering his head, but unexpectedly he made the first move, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed my neck and lifted me up.
I widened my bloodshot eyes, held his arm tightly with both hands, and uttered three words with difficulty:
"How...how could it be possible?!"
What was clearly a white and tender little hand before, now for some reason turned into a cold, thick arm full of cracks!
Moreover, the entire arm was blue-black and the nails were gray, like a dead hand.
His grinning voice came from under the black robe and hat,
"Hey...what a good boy! How dare you sneak up on me?! Although I like it very much, what I hate most in my life is betrayal! Die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the strength in his hand suddenly increased. At the moment when I felt that my neck was about to be broken, I used my last strength to bite the tip of my tongue and spurt out a mouthful of blood on his arm!
"呲呲…"
The moment the blood from the tip of my tongue touched his arm, streams of black smoke came out. The man in black robe screamed and immediately let go of his hand. I bent over and coughed violently a few times. When I looked up, I found that
His arms have been hidden in the black robe...
But there were drops of black liquid flowing out along the hem of the robe, accompanied by bursts of stench!
"Corpse stench?!"
I lost my voice.
The man in black robe was shaking all over and shouted in a hoarse voice:
"You...you have been broken by me, why are you still bleeding from the tip of your tongue..."
I didn't have time to chat with him, so I took out the remaining glutinous rice from my backpack and threw it at him. I ignored his roar, turned around and slipped down the mountain without looking back...
