Shang Xia fell into the pool, and the turbid water covered with sand instantly submerged him.
In the pool, apart from the ripples of the water, Shang Xia actually sank into the water and disappeared without a trace.
Sun Haiwei glanced at the pool in surprise, but was immediately beaten back by the zombies on the opposite side.
The third-level zombies have no such luck!
But the question is, where did this third-level zombie come from?
Sun Haiwei looked at the clothes on the walking corpse. Although they looked damp, they still looked clean and tidy. However, they always gave people the feeling of outdated items taken from the bottom of a press box.
"Where did a walking corpse get such clean clothes?"
Sun Haiwei suddenly remembered the legend on Tongyou Peak, which happened to be next to the coral forest.
"Is it really a member of the Zhu family? He actually ran out of the coral forest!"
Sun Haiwei crossed the double iron thorns in her hands in front of her body, and an orange-red ice wall was formed.
But then a huge force came in, and the ice wall exploded immediately. Sun Haiwei stepped back more than ten feet, but she still couldn't get rid of the incoming force. Her back suddenly hit the mine wall, shaking her throat.
Sweet hair.
On the opposite side, the zombie's palms were so dry that only thick bones remained, and a layer of skin was torn off, revealing the charred dead flesh underneath.
"Infinite strength, rough skin and thick flesh!"
Just as Sun Haiwei regained her breath, she saw the zombie on the other end let out a roar, and from a distance of more than ten feet, its arms suddenly showed an environmentally friendly posture.
Sun Haiwei was suddenly startled, and without thinking, she jumped away to the side.
On the mine wall where she was originally preparing for the exam, two earth pillars closed from both sides toward the middle. If Sun Haiwei had been slower to hide, her neck would have been imprisoned by these two earth pillars.
But before she could regain her footing, she saw the walking corpse stamping its foot down again.
A large section of the narrow passage opened along the mine wall suddenly began to collapse.
Sun Haiwei quickly jumped on the bulge of the mine wall to avoid the collapsing earthworks and rocks, but unexpectedly a rock spike protruded from the mine wall next to her, scratching her shoulder.
"Why doesn't Shang Xia come out? Is there any danger hidden under the pool?"
Sun Haiwei was so angry that she stuck the iron thorn a little above the mine wall. Instead of retreating, she advanced forward. The pair of iron thorns instantly took on the form of ice and fire.
Facing the oncoming Sun Haiwei, the zombie roared loudly.
The earth and rocks that rolled down to the ground within three feet of it seemed to be pulled at this moment, floating up from the ground and crashing into Sun Haiwei like a torrent.
And at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the water pool that had calmed down for a long time. The person was still in mid-air, and a golden-red thunder light as thick as a bucket tore through the void, and in an instant it transformed into
A thunder net was created to cover the walking corpse within a radius of three feet.
"Crackling——"
Amidst the exploding thunder, the painful roars of the zombies could be heard coming from it.
At this time, Shang Xia looked extremely embarrassed. Not to mention being soaked to the skin, the turbid water also mixed a large amount of sediment into his hair and clothes.
To be honest, Shang Xia had never been in such a predicament before. Even when he was chased all the way by Cangling martial artist Yan Ming, he was never as embarrassed as a drowned rat.
This made Shang Xia extremely angry, but he couldn't blame Sun Haiwei. He could only vent his anger on the zombies.
At the same time, the torrent of earth and rock that had lost the control of the zombies suddenly froze the moment it hit Sun Haiwei, and then the white cold current flowed backwards, forming a half arc-shaped arch bridge.
Sun Haiwei rushed up along the earth-stone arch bridge, and at the moment when the thunder net ended, she inserted another thorn with orange flames into the earth-stone arch bridge.
The vitality of ice and fire surged instantly, and then exploded together with the two iron thorns!
The half-solidified arc-shaped arch bridge immediately exploded, causing earth and rocks to fly all over the sky. Also severely damaged was the third-level zombie.
"Sister Sun, how are you?"
Shang Xia landed on the undamaged passage at the edge of the mine and asked loudly.
Sun Haiwei's face looked pale at this time, which was obviously due to the excessive loss of vitality in her body and the trauma to her internal organs.
"You can't die yet!"
At this time, Sun Haiwei also showed her resilience and said loudly: "Be careful, the third-level zombies will not die so easily!"
When the flying dust dispersed, Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia surrounded the zombies from both sides, only to find that except for some broken clothes, some scattered carrion and broken bones, there were no zombies on the ground.
Traces of corpses.
"Is it possible that they were dismembered just now?" Shang Xia asked subconsciously.
Before she finished speaking, Sun Haiwei's face changed and she reminded loudly: "Be careful underground!"
The ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed, and a pair of rotten claws with two or three fingers missing suddenly came out of the soil and grabbed Sun Haiwei's ankle.
Sun Haiwei's face changed slightly, and the energy of ice and fire surged in her body. One of the claws of the zombie made a "chichi" sound, accompanied by thick smoke, while the other claw had cold air coming out and a thin layer of ice.
Begins to attach to paws.
But the pair of claws were still firmly grasping her ankles, even tighter and tighter. Sun Haiwei's face was filled with pain.
Shang Xia jumped up the moment the ground collapsed. When he saw this, he let out a slight roar and slashed straight at the claw holding Sun Haiwei's left foot with the Yuhe Sword.
The surrounding earth and rocks instantly flowed back, forming a rock bracer on the wrists of the zombies there.
With a "clang" sound, the rock wrist guard shattered, but Shang Xia's sword failed in vain.
At the same time, Sun Haiwei's figure suddenly began to sink slowly. The zombies obviously wanted to drag her underground while avoiding Shang Xia's interference.
However, Sun Haiwei suddenly thrust her hands toward the mine wall, sinking her wrist-level hands into the stone wall, which also prevented her body from sinking.
Seeing this, Shang Xia did not dare to neglect, and the Yuhe Sword slashed again, with a faint flash of thunder on the blade.
The rock wristband was once again wrapped around the wrist of the walking corpse that was exposed on the ground. With a "clang" sound, the wristband was broken again, but the Jade River Sword did not return in vain this time.
The burst of lightning penetrated through the broken rock wrist guard and directly penetrated into the rotten claws of the zombies.
The rotten claw suddenly straightened, and the zombies' painful roars could be heard vaguely underground.
However, Sun Haiwei also let out a groan of pain. Under the influence of the thunder, half of her legs almost lost consciousness, and then the zombies who recovered first grabbed her wrist again.
Seeing this, Shang Xia frowned slightly, the vitality in his body changed randomly, the source of thunder dispersed, and he used the Square Steel Sword Technique to strike down with one sword, but failed again, and the effect was not even as good as the previous sword strike.
Seeing this, Shang Xia changed his sword style again, and the Yuhe Sword suddenly wrapped around the wrist wrapped in rocks, and cut a deep depression in it.
But before he could cut the rock wristband thoroughly, rock dust was replenished around him, and the replenishment speed was even faster than the cutting speed.
"It's useless. This is a third-level walking corpse, and it specializes in earth and stone magic. It's not easy for you and me to work together to severely damage it to such a situation!" Sun Haiwei tried her best to use her hands inserted into the mine wall to stop her body.
of sinking.
"There's always a way!"
Shang Xia still continued to use the Yuhe Sword to chop.
"There's no way to go on like this. Cut off both of my legs!"
Shang Xia suddenly raised his head and glanced at Sun Haiwei, only to see an ugly smile on her face.
"At least you can survive this way, right?"
Sun Haiwei's arms were trembling. It was obvious that she was reaching her limit and she could not hold on much longer.
Shang Xia suddenly struck down with another sword.
This sword originally seemed to be extremely powerful, and it instantly shattered the rock guard.
And at this moment, the vitality in Shang Xia's body suddenly changed from hardness to softness, and the sword body instantly bent and wrapped, and while the rock formation was regenerated, it cut with the flow.
Then a tooth-piercing sound was heard. The zombie's wrist bone was obviously injured, but Shang Xia's two sword moves were also exhausted.
This is the most difficult "hard and soft change" in "Hard and Soft Sword Technique". What is required is the rapid transformation of the hard and soft poles of vitality. Once faced with the enemy, it is often difficult to guard against it. It is the most profound one in "Ji Sword Strategy"
Sword skills.
Although the inheritance that Shang Xia received in Tongyoufeng Sutra Cave was only that of the Sutra Pavilion, and the hard and soft sword formulas happened to be incomplete, the concept of this set of sword formulas had already been thoroughly understood by Shang Xia, and the second half was deduced from the first half of the sword formulas.
, it is not difficult for him.
It's just that although this second sword move can hurt the walking corpse, it is still a little short of getting Sun Haiwei out of her restraints.
"Good swordsmanship!"
Sun Haiwei obviously tried hard to laugh, but the severe pain from her ankles made her expression look ugly.
Shang Xia raised his eyes and looked at her, but his expression suddenly showed a slight hesitation, and his sword movement also paused. It was not like just now, even if he couldn't cut off the zombie's arm, he was still attacking the ground with one sword after another.
The corpses are being consumed.
"The so-called 'Hard and Soft Sword Art', the true understanding should be that the two poles of energy, hard and soft, complement each other. This Hard and Soft Sword Art seems to blend the strong and soft sword movements together, but in fact
One sword is still hard and the other is soft, it seems to be hard and soft when facing the enemy, making it difficult to guard against, but in fact, the two extremes of strength and softness have not really been integrated into one!"
Thinking of this, Shang Xia wanted to slap himself on the head hard.
The balance of the two poles, the transformation of the two poles, and the fusion of the two poles are the principles that he had already understood when he advanced to the realm of two rituals.
But when practicing martial arts, why do we almost forget about these concepts?
The so-called "hard and soft sword techniques" have never truly achieved the "combination of hard and soft"!
The true "combination of hardness and softness" should be when the sword style is released, it should be both hard and soft!
Seeing Shang Xia's sword style suddenly break, Sun Haiwei thought that it was difficult for him to make the determination to cut off her legs, so she forced a smile and said: "Hurry, if it's later, I really won't be able to hold on!"
At this time, she suddenly saw Shang Xia looking up at her. At that moment, his eyes were clear and full of confident joy, which made her forget that she was in danger for a moment, and she suddenly felt a little dazed.
Then she saw that Shang Xia actually drew his sword again, and this sword looked even more ordinary, with no strange phenomena accompanying the sword move.
"Zheng-puff-"
Before Sun Haiwei could even react, she felt her left foot suddenly loosen, almost causing her to lose her balance. She quickly took a step back before she regained her balance...
"Ouch——"
Even though there is a thick layer of soil, the roar of the zombies can still be clearly heard on the ground.
