Chapter 76: The Witch
Qi Xuansu didn't waste any words. He jumped up and climbed onto the beam. Then he stood behind the shadow of a pillar, holding his breath and concentrating. With Zhang Yuelu attracting attention from the front, even people with higher realms than him would find it difficult to spot him.
The two of them traveled together in the rivers and lakes. When they met an enemy, one was bright and the other was dark.
Zhang Yuelu still sat on the tiger-skin chair at the main seat of the god. On the altar below were the bodies of two ancient immortal believers, and around them were the bodies of those horse thieves who failed to escape.
A moment later, three people walked into the ancient temple. The leader was a woman with oil paint on her face. In the winter weather, she was barefoot and wore flowing beads on her wrists and ankles similar to those of the two female believers. Behind her followed two middle-aged men. Nothing could be seen from their clothes.
The woman looked at Zhang Yuelu and asked directly: "Who are you?"
Zhang Yuelu asked back: "Who are you?"
The eyes of the two women touched each other.
The woman with oil paint on her face gently uttered a strange syllable.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Yuelu snorted.
Two invisible sound waves collided in the air, exploding a circle of invisible ripples that spread to the surroundings.
Zhang Yuelu narrowed her eyes, finally stood up from the tiger-skin chair, and said: "It turned out to be a rare witch."
The woman with a face full of oil paint had a solemn face and slowly uttered three words: "Exiled Immortal."
The two middle-aged men behind her all changed their faces suddenly, and they seemed to understand what the exiled immortal meant.
Zhang Yuelu did not show any identity card and said: "If you surrender, I can spare your lives. As for how to deal with you, it will be handed over to Beichen Hall. Of course, you can also resist stubbornly, and I will execute you on the spot."
"Daoist dog!" A middle-aged man shouted loudly.
Qi Xuansu, who was standing on the beam, was slightly startled. He did not expect that the ancient immortal believers' name for the Taoist people was so "friendly" and down-to-earth.
Zhang Yuelu was not angry, but just said, "Stubborn."
The witch woman gave a delicate cry, and the two strings on her wrist shone brightly.
Zhang Yuelu did not dare to be careless, and a five-color aura surged around her.
Witches belong to the inheritance of immortals. Their strength depends not only on their own realm and cultivation, but also on the amount of incense and vows. If the incense and vows are insufficient, they can be said to be the bottom of the five immortals, but if the incense and vows are sufficient, they are not inferior to the exiled immortals of the same realm.
The next moment, Zhang Yuelu had left the seat of the god where the tiger-skin chair was placed, and came directly in front of the witch woman, took out his hand from his sleeve, and pointed out a finger lightly.
Qi Xuansu had long discovered that Zhang Yuelu's body movements were very strange. There were almost no twists and turns. His legs did not bend, his body did not shake, and his whole body remained still. Even the clothes on his body did not move at all, but his feet seemed to shrink the ground into an inch, moving back and forth flatly.
The witch woman had a sense in her heart, and pointed out with her index finger as required.
When their fingertips touched, the witch woman snorted slightly and floated back more than a foot. Zhang Yuelu also shook and praised: "What a magical power, it's even equal to my true essence, it's a pity that it's not used in the right way."
The five major inheritances have different levels of energy stored in the body.
The Qi Refiner is a breath of true qi, the ghost immortal is the soul and thoughts, the human immortal is the body and blood, and the witch is the divine power condensed from the incense and vows.
In the early stage, the exiled immortals are generally true qi like the Qi Refiners and the scattered people, but when they reach the stage of returning to the truth, they can condense part of the true qi into true essence, which is more pure than the true qi and is not restrained. After reaching the heavenly man, all the true qi can be transformed into true essence, and there is a "difference between heaven and earth" with the Qi Refiners of the earthly immortal inheritance.
At this time, Zhang Yuelu had already condensed part of her true energy into true essence. Just now, she pointed, seemingly casually, but in fact, she gathered half of her true essence in her body. However, she never expected that she would be blocked by the witch with her magnificent divine power. No wonder the immortal inheritance claims that as long as the incense and wish power are sufficient, it can rival the exiled immortals.
But even so, the witch suffered a small loss. Zhang Yuelu just shook his body, but she had to retreat more than ten feet, and the outcome was clear. She knew that the two of them were at the same stage of returning to the true nature, and she was slightly inferior after all. If they really fought to the end, she would probably die.
So the witch did not intend to compete with Zhang Yuelu in cultivation. A crossbow appeared out of thin air in her hand, but this crossbow was very strange. It actually put nine crossbow arrows on the crossbow string at the same time. In an instant, the nine crossbow arrows shot out in a fan-shaped momentum.
Zhang Yuelu dodged eight crossbow arrows and reached out to grab the last crossbow arrow that could no longer be dodged. At the same time, the "Six Void Tribulations" had penetrated into the crossbow arrows, dissolving the divine power contained in them. The crossbow arrows could not explode, and they were no different from ordinary crossbow arrows.
However, the other eight crossbow arrows exploded and turned into black water, which smelled like a rotting corpse and a large number of dead fish and shrimp. Some water droplets splashed on the walls and the ground, corroding small holes in a moment. If it fell on the body, it would not take much, just a little bit, and it would rot to the bone.
The Taoist sect vigorously developed firearms, conquered cities and plundered land, and was invincible, but this ancient method should not be underestimated.
Zhang Yuelu showed a little fear on her face. She was not afraid of being injured, but she thought that if this poisonous water fell on her face, the consequences would be unbearable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yuelu no longer held back. With a wave of his sleeves, countless paper cranes made of white paper flew out from his sleeves, filling the air with white.
There are two characters in the name of "Wu Xiang Paper", which means it has no form and no trace to be found. Therefore, it can be transformed into thousands of forms. It is not just a weapon, but can be transformed into anything as long as the person who controls it can visualize it in his mind. . In other words, if Zhang Yuelu can master the structure of a handgun and concentrate on it, he can even turn it into a handgun with "no photographic paper". Just a paper crane, of course.
I saw these paper cranes densely filling the space between Zhang Yuelu and the Wu Zhu woman. Even if the Wu Zhu woman fired the crossbow again, it could only hit the paper cranes.
In the blink of an eye, the surging paper cranes completely submerged the Wu Zhu woman, and at the same time divided their forces to attack the two middle-aged men.
The faces of the two accompanying middle-aged men suddenly changed. They shouted loudly and stretched out their four palms. A strong wind suddenly rose. The paper crane was scattered by the wind of the palms, but did not fall to the ground. It flew along the wind of the two palms. If there was any intelligence, Enter through the gap.
The two of them were shocked. They could only change their moves repeatedly to prevent the paper crane from getting close, but if they stayed for a long time, they would lose. However, the paper crane passed by, leaving a wound that looked like a sword wound. Blood gushed out, and they lost their voices. snort.
At this moment, the Wu Zhu woman who was wrapped in paper cranes gave a sweet shout, and suddenly all the paper cranes were shaken and scattered, turning into countless paper scraps and falling down, and finally merged into a piece of white paper.
I saw the figure of the Wu Zhu woman. Although the clothes on her body were in tatters, her skin was not damaged at all, and there was even a faint golden light flowing through it.
Zhang Yuelu caught the "no photo paper" and praised: "Wuzhu's golden body is said to have endless magical power and his golden body is indestructible. It is really powerful."
Before he finished speaking, the "photo paper" in Zhang Yuelu's hand turned into a long bow again.
Zhang Yuelu raised his long bow horizontally, used paper as arrows, fired nine arrows in unison, and then fired nine more arrows at a close range. They were as dense as locusts and there was no way to avoid them. That's all, Zhang Yuelu still hides the Taoist "Feng Yan Yi San" in the paper arrow, which is difficult to distinguish.
The Wu Zhu woman didn't want to dodge. The beads on her wrists and ankles lit up, and her whole body seemed to be inlaid with a golden edge. She moved her hands forward flatly, building an invisible barrier.
The arrow rain fell on the invisible wall, the roaring sound was endless, the red light was like fog, and the fireworks were like rain.
The two middle-aged men had to fend off the remaining paper cranes and dodge Zhang Yuelu's paper arrows and flames. They were already overwhelmed.
At this moment, Qi Xuansu restrained his breath, slid down the pillar quietly, came to the back of a middle-aged man, raised the "Dragon Hand Gun" in his hand, and aimed it at the back of the man's head.
For Qi Xuansu, the rivers and lakes are not good places, but a pond where black and white are indistinguishable. He is just a little pawn rolling and struggling in it. He is already covered in mud and has no interest in being upright.
As Qiniang said, if you can succeed in a sneak attack, you will never attack head-on. This is the same as the art of war.
Qi Xuansu pressed down the hammer with his thumb, hooked his finger on the trigger, and pressed lightly.
A ball of smoke and fire exploded from the magazine of the gun.
If you want to dodge a handgun, you must predict it in advance. If you try to dodge after the projectile is launched, it will be too late.
This middle-aged man, whose realm was even higher than that of Qi Xuansu, had a deep blood hole in the back of his head. He fell to the ground on the spot and died.
In fact, innate people will not die easily under the fire gun. Unfortunately, Qi Xuansu used the "Dragon Hand Gun" that can only be equipped by the fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priests. He also used special projectiles engraved with armor-breaking talismans. The key was to sneak attack from behind. , how can you not die?
Another middle-aged man was frightened and angry. He ignored the fact that Zhihe left several wounds on his body and went straight towards Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu didn't have time to reload, so he put away the "Dragon Hand Gun" and rushed outside the ancient temple.
The middle-aged man's eyes were already red and he was chasing after her.
Qi Xuansu walked out of the temple gate, turned around suddenly, flicked his sleeves, a cold light flashed in his sleeves, and ran towards the middle-aged man's face.
The middle-aged man frowned, raised his left hand, and held the cold light with his five fingers like a flower. When he looked closely, he saw that it was an iron awl.
It turned out that Qi Xuansu couldn't afford a flying sword, so he bought some iron awls and threw them using the "sword control technique". Although it is not as good as the "sword control technique" where everything can be turned into a sword, and the iron awl cannot change direction after leaving the hand, like an arm, it can make the iron awl contain sword energy and greatly increase its lethality.
The middle-aged man shouted: "It turns out he is a Taoist dog at the Kunlun stage. He only knows how to sneak attack. If he has the ability to fight me head-on!"
"Your Excellency broke my sword energy with just a raise of your hand. It is really powerful. You should have the cultivation level of Yuxu stage. But if the four swords come out at the same time, will you be able to catch them?"
"Qi Xuansu reached out and touched it from his satchel, then waved his hand.
Only a "whoosh" sound was heard, this time it was four iron cones shooting out.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, stretched out his hands, took all four iron awls, and at the same time used his divine power to completely dissolve the sword energy in them.
He used his divine power again and twisted the four iron awls in his palm into a ball of scrap metal.
