Liu Yuan had not expected that the effect of murderous intent would be so outstanding. The pitch-black sword in his hand was getting hot, and the fine cracks were glowing with fiery blood light again, making a slight sword sound, as if he was excited by the killing.
Liu Yuan thought to himself that in order to kill monsters, he really needed to absorb negative auras such as blood, foul air, evil spirit and murderous aura to strengthen himself. However, since he got the sword, Liu Yuan had never used it to kill monsters.
The only serious confrontation was with Ye Ci Ke's retainer, the old servant, but in the end he did not kill him, and not even much blood was shed.
No wonder it's so excited now...it's been holding it back for a while.
Although they encountered many rotten beasts along the way, Liu Yuan, the wounded man, was protected too well and didn't even have a chance to fight. He could only watch with a murderous intent - just like watching a food show in front of you eating and drinking to your heart's content while you only have a steamed bun in your hand.
Now if I were suddenly given a bowl of instant noodles, I would be extremely happy.
In addition, probably because Shen Tu Wu is a monster, he has an instinctive killing madness and his will is not very firm, so he was immediately affected by the murderous intent and fear.
In any case, Liu Yuan's goal of stopping Shen Tu Wu was indeed achieved.
Liu Yuan held the sword tightly and stood alone beside him, while He Qingmeng was trembling with fear and hid in the corner behind him. When she saw the monkey demon leave temporarily, she immediately rushed up to him with tears in her eyes and sobbed, saying that it was so scary.
Zhiying frowned, looked up at Liu Yuan who turned back and whispered to comfort He Qingmeng, and suddenly felt suffocated.
She looked at her body and found it was clean without a trace of blood or dirt. She thought to herself that if she had known earlier, she would not have dodged the blood splashed by the monkey demon.
At this moment, only a few breaths had passed since Shen Tu Wu rushed over, killed a man, and turned back. The two sides switched positions, and Zhu Qi and Liao Liu immediately fell into a fierce battle with Shen Tu Wu.
The former two were both thick-skinned and tough, while the latter was known for his agility. Neither side could do anything to the other, but Shen Tu Wu was injured by Jiying's sword and lost his wits. He only had a temporary advantage and would soon be defeated.
However, at this time, there were unusual movements on Tang Yuanhua's side.
"Watch out for the puppet!"
he shouted sharply.
When everyone looked, they really saw a blood-stained puppet made up of various broken parts standing up, and behind it, several other puppets were also staggering as they "woken up".
"what!"
Shen Tu Wu let out a sharp scream and was chopped by Zhu Qi's sword. He flew out and crashed into the bookshelf, knocking down several shelves with a bang. He rolled on the ground for several times, and blood flowed all over the place, smearing on the parts of the puppets on the ground.
When Tang Yuanhua saw the blood and the faintly glowing runes on the puppet, he vaguely understood the key. These puppets must be controlled by blood and energy, just like the puppets of those evil sects.
His expression was grim, and he said, "Don't let the blood touch the puppet parts on the ground!"
“Hahahaha…” Shen Tu Wu fell to the ground and laughed strangely. His monkey-like appearance looked particularly ferocious. “What kind of human Martial Emperor is this? Humans are kind, while monsters are cruel. They still use monsters for experiments and make them half-dead to be buried with him! Pah!”
He spat angrily to the side, suddenly jumped up, rolled on the ground, and covered all the puppets with blood.
Liu Yuan remembered the first strange beast he saw in the palace, which was a humanoid monster that looked like a monkey.
"Kakaka..."
The puppet parts on the ground that had been stained with Shentu Wu's blood stood up one by one.
There seemed to be a pale golden core floating and rotating in their chests and abdomens, constantly absorbing the blood in their bodies and converting it into power.
Those parts formed into a human shape, with weapons appearing in its hands, and it rushed towards the crowd.
These dolls were even more terrifying than the ones he had encountered in the tomb before. Their overall appearance was infinitely close to that of humans. Their skin looked soft and full of blood, their eyeballs could even move, and their open mouths were fully equipped with teeth and tongues. They looked a bit like the androids in the Ghost in the Shell that Liu Yuan remembered.
The most important thing is that the core on their bodies exudes the aura of spiritual energy, and so do the weapons in their hands.
“Hammer!”
By now, everything in the library that needed to be destroyed had been almost destroyed, and Liu Yuan had nothing to worry about anymore, so he threw the hammer away.
boom!
The huge body of the demon dragon instantly burst the entire library, and many puppets were squeezed into meat paste. These puppets seemed to be the initial form of Hong Fu, and they already had the shape of a "human".
In the air above the Sutra Repository, which was tens of feet high, from a distance, a small cloud of dust exploded and floated down, and all the bookshelves tilted and fell down. A dragon roared wildly and climbed onto the mechanical shelf next to it.
When Liu Yuan was holding He Qingmeng and grabbing the scales on Chui Chui's body, he turned his head and heard a loud noise coming from the platform where Hong Fu and others were in the distance.
crunch...
The mechanism lock was opened with a bang, and countless strange beasts rushed in, rushing towards Hong Fu, the little fox and others who were caught off guard.
Behind the strange beasts, an enchanting and graceful figure slowly walked in.
Liu Yuan's pupils shrank. The figure seemed to notice his gaze. She looked up and looked at him, twirling her fingers around her hair and smiling charmingly.
It’s Pang Ying!
Chapter 204: Emperor Wu Completed
Liu Yuan's sight was just a fleeting glimpse, but with his current eyesight, even without the support of spiritual power, it was enough for him to see several miles away. It would be easy for him to pick up a bow and shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred steps away.
Therefore, even though he was far away, he could clearly see that the figure among the group of strange beasts was Pang Ying who should have died long ago!
Regardless of his appearance or figure, he is indeed the evil disciple from the underworld.
But Pang Ying couldn’t possibly still be alive!
Liu Yuan was certain in his heart that in that situation, Pang Ying's legs were severed at the knees and she had no spiritual power at all. Even if she had healing medicine hidden on her body, she would have no chance of survival when surrounded by those strange beasts.
Is it someone pretending to be someone else, or is it like those half-dead beasts? As he guessed at the beginning, just like the Resident Evil, the symptoms of these beasts are contagious and they have also become the living dead?
But this is nonsense. Emperor Wu and Yanshi were studying the changes in human potential and qualifications, not a plague. Moreover, this "Pang Ying" had a relaxed expression on his face and his mind did not seem to have any problems. He was not like those strange beasts who only knew how to attack and kill. It seemed more like someone impersonating him.
Liu Yuan's mind suddenly turned, watching the tide of strange beasts attacking Hong Fu and others through the opened mechanism-locked door. Without time to think about it, he held He Qingmeng in his arms, climbed up the dragon scales' arm and used the force to stabilize his balance in mid-air. He quickly walked a few steps on the dragon's back and flew to place the descendant of Emperor Wu on top of Chui Chui's head.
He has no skills to use now and has to rely entirely on instinct. Despite this, his body has still memorized some moves and force techniques, because even if he has no skills, he will not be unable to move forward.
The girl in white followed like a shadow and landed on the dragon's back from somewhere. Her figure was as light and beautiful as a white crane.
Wow...
The last remains of the library were crumbling, with the dragon's slender body coiled on it, its four claws searching for a foothold, and the floor or beams under its feet constantly collapsing.
Among the few people left on the Qingfengfang, several screamed and fell down with the puppets. The others, including Tang Yuanhua and others, quickly jumped up and climbed to the library next door to take shelter.
Even in this situation, Tang Yuanhua did not forget to bring Shen Tu Wu out.
The monkey demon was hit by the hammer after it transformed. It was seriously injured and on the verge of death. There was a bloody hole between its chest and abdomen, which dyed half of its body red. Its face was as pale as gold paper and it was spitting blood. However, it was still tightly holding the scroll in its hands. It opened its eyes wide and muttered: "Demon... the demon race... should prosper..."
He suddenly closed his mouth, his face quickly turned gray and purple, and he lost his vitality.
It turned out that he had bitten through the deadly poison hidden between his teeth.
"Demon warriors!" Tang Yuanhua looked grim, staring at Shen Tu Wu's face with his eyes wide open. He had also encountered this kind of monsters before. They were all radical elements who put their lives at risk and were bent on fighting to expel humans from the monster clan.
This Shen Tu Wu must be originally a demon. He has a method to conceal his aura, and he is a race similar to humans. He has been lurking in the Qingxie Fang. Because the news that the Emperor Wu Cave was discovered in the Biluo Mansion spread, the Qingxie Fang needed to occupy it first and issued a mission. So the demon clan took advantage of the opportunity and sent Shen Tu Wu, who met the requirements.
Shen Tu Wu has been on the Qingxie Fang for quite some time, so he must have been a hidden pawn of the demon clan. Although Tang Yuanhua is not a good person, when faced with the greater good between humans and demons, he knows how to make the decision.
He reached out and took back the Xisui Jing from Shentu Wu's tightly clenched hands, and made up his mind that this matter must be reported to Qingxie Fang!
Shentu Wu's body was the evidence. Tang Yuanhua grabbed the monkey demon, jumped up several times, landed in a safe place, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if he didn't get the Marrow Cleansing Sutra now, grasping a subtle clue about the demon clan would be enough for him to upgrade to another level, or at least maintain his status quo.
Now that I have both, I can make a lot of money.
When Tang Yuanhua was secretly delighted, he looked back and found that the dragon was carrying two people above the library. Suddenly, his heart tightened. Their cooperation was now over, and all the advantages belonged to Liu Yuan's side. If Liu Yuan chose to take action at this time, Tang Yuanhua and others would not have any chance of resistance.
But it turned out that Tang Yuanhua was overthinking.
"Grab the dragon's horn, hold on tight!"
Liu Yuan shouted loudly to He Qingmeng, who looked back at him, nodded palely, and obediently grasped a dragon horn.
"Chui Chui! Go back to Hong Fu!" Liu Yuan turned over and slid down a little, landing on the dragon's back, and shouted to Chui Chui.
"Roar--"
The Red Scaled Dragon responded, placed its claws above the library, turned to the side and leaped into the air.
"Zhizhi!"
Good steel is used on the blade, and Liu Yuan finally called upon the spirits of mountains and seas again.
A white light appeared behind him, gathering into the shape of a translucent ignorant girl with red lips and white teeth, pure and flawless. Zhizhi, the only one with spiritual power, reached out and pressed her hand on Chui Chui's body, infusing the spiritual power into the demon dragon.
Whoosh!
The virtual spiritual flames rekindled between the gaps between the scales on the dragon's body. Chui Chui raised his head and let out a long roar, and the dragon's roar echoed throughout the Sutra Library.
The demon dragon soared into the sky at an extremely fast speed, and whizzed towards the platform where Hong Fu and the little fox were, approaching the latter in a few breaths.
Just when it was about to fall, Zhizhi instantly cut off the supply of spiritual power, and the hammer, relying on inertia and gravity, fell heavily to the ground with a bang, almost cracking the ground, and even shaking the Sutra Library.
This is really the most important thing...
Liu Yuan complained in his heart, hugged He Qingmeng, jumped up, and landed on the ground beside him, while Chui Chui rolled over, and his huge body crushed a bunch of strange beasts to death.
"Big bad guy!" The little fox Su Bi's delicate voice called out nearby. Liu Yuan looked carefully and saw that several people were safe and sound. Su Bi even raised her hand and greeted him with full energy, which immediately made him breathe a sigh of relief.
The two little foxes had good fighting ability, and Hong Fu was not bad either, and did not suffer any loss in the brief confrontation.
Liu Yuan drew his sword: "Wait! I'll be right there!"
Just as he was about to rush forward, the figure was faster than him. It flew up, tapped the bodies of several strange beasts with its toes, and appeared in front of "Pang Ying" in the center. It then spun around and chopped down with a bright sword.
"Jiyue!"
Like the bright moon and clear wind, this sword created a bright universe, opening and closing, with a vast artistic conception.
The sword instantly split half of Pang Ying's face, who only had time to step back half a step. Under his shocked and distorted expression, a dark, rolling mist was revealed underneath.
"She's a demon!"
Zhiying's tone was sharper than ever before.
On the "cliff" dozens of feet above the library, the mechanism that collapsed due to the destruction of the library was exposed. Tang Yuanhua searched the monkey monster's body and found a transparent bead.
Tang Yuanhua suddenly had an idea: "This thing also seemed to be on the table and was taken away by Shen Tuwu. However, we were so obsessed with the Marrow Cleansing Sutra that we only noticed the scroll!"
Suddenly, his face showed horror, and the bead shone brightly. First, a tall and burly shadow appeared, and then it turned into a white light and drilled into Tang Yuanhua's forehead.
Chapter 205: The Three-Headed Demon
Damn demons!
Liu Yuan put He Qingmeng down and was about to rescue his three lolis. When he saw a figure rushing out and was about to say "be careful", he saw the girl split the head of "Pang Ying" into two halves.
Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the word "demon", and the first thing he blurted out was a swear word.
Inside the split head of "Pang Ying" that looked like a parasitic beast, a ball of black mist as solid as a solid object was wriggling and tumbling inside.
Looks very familiar.
Liu Yuan's eyes widened. How could this not look familiar?
Almost two months ago, in Jiang Country where Chiyu Villa is located, in a cave in the valley next to the Jiuyuan Mountains, the former headmaster of Yuxu, Zhou Zhongzi Ding Huan, who sought benevolence and died for his own path, Gu Chang’s real master, possessed him——
Isn't it just a demon? !
This damn game planner screwed me!
It was said that the demon tide would erupt in the very late stage, and there would be an epic battle between humans and demons. It turned out that the hidden clues had already been laid in the early plots, and they were all plots that had not been revealed in the later stages, but now he has encountered them!
The eight-armed demon that possessed Ding Huan two months ago was already known among the players. This part of the plot was written clearly and without any obstruction, as if it was just to introduce the setting of the demon race to the players and pave the way for the later part. The ending of the eight-armed demon and Ding Huan dying together was also already doomed.
The eight-armed demon worshipped by the evil cult leader Luo Shengtian is nothing but a joke. He is not some omnipotent demon god with extraordinary magical powers. He is just a demon with a relatively high status in the Abyss Pond.
It is precisely because of this that the game plot later on has the destruction of the Demon Cult's faith and the alliance with the righteous side to fight against the demons.
But other than that, in the entire first and middle parts of the game, there are very few demons appearing...
But the "Pang Ying" that was split into two halves in front of him made Liu Yuan realize that it was not because there were few demons appearing, but perhaps it was because the demons were hiding better than each other.
Liu Yuan could almost imagine that this seemingly peaceful Upper Central Realm had actually been occupied everywhere by demons, and the sudden outbreak of the demon tide was actually premeditated.
And now, he is actually clearing mines.
Even in Emperor Wu's tomb, demons appeared, which was really frightening.
“Hahahahaha…”
As Liu Yuan's thoughts were racing, a series of overlapping sharp laughs came out from the chest and brain of "Pang Ying", with a strange rhythm and an invisible sound wave that spread out, pushing away the dust around.
This invisible sound wave swept over, seemingly gentle when it rolled up the dust, but when it really fell into the ears, it was like a sharp iron rod stirring the brain, making people dizzy.
A red light flashed on the murderous and evil patterns on Liu Yuan's hand, and his second buff "Ming Xin" was activated, which greatly weakened mental attacks, to the extent that it was basically the same as having nothing.
Although Liu Yuan was fine, the faces of the others showed a trace of discomfort and nausea to some extent.
