Chapter 313 Killing the Heartless
It turns out that after Qu Hongling woke up from the coma, she had long noticed that there was an aura similar to that of a monster lurking around her.
After seeing the corpse on the ground, he hinted to Yelu Miaomiao and deliberately staged a play.
As expected, the monster was tricked out.
What Qu Hongling didn’t expect was that the monster was transformed by the woman in black.
"Did you become like this after eating that monster egg?"
Qu Hongling asked.
The monster woman did not respond. The moment she realized that she had been fooled, she swung her snake tail, and the tail swept away fallen leaves like a strong wind, stirring up the surrounding gravel and splashing towards Yelu Miaomiao.
Then his body turned in the air and turned into a shadow, heading straight towards Qu Hongling.
No matter how Qu Hongling plotted against her, it was true that the other party was physically weak at this time, and the threat was far less than that of Yelu Miaomiao.
She planned to try her best to hold Qu Hongling hostage first.
But the next moment, the sedan chair exploded, and several flying swords that had been ambushed outside the sedan stabbed at the monster from all directions.
The monster was forced to retreat.
Behind him, Yelu Miaomiao waved his hand.
The monster screamed, and the claws on its belly dug into the ground, trying to get into the ground. But after only half of the body had penetrated, Yelu Miaomiao grabbed the tail and forcibly pulled it out.
"Be careful!"
Qu Hongling suddenly shouted.
Yelu Miaomiao warned in her heart and subconsciously let go of the monster's tail. Then, countless small thorns densely packed on the monster's tail shot towards her face.
Yelü Miaomiao used the power of Dharma to form a mask in front of her.
“Cut!”
Qu Hongling drives the Phoenix Sword.
The monster screamed, and a section of its tail was cut off.
But the severed tail suddenly swelled, and then exploded with a "bang". The venom contained in it condensed into a sword energy, surrounding Yelu Miaomiao and Qu Hongling.
Qu Hongling then remembered that the opponent was not an ordinary monster, but a master of the Xuanji Sword Sect.
Even if you transform into a monster, you can still perform sword skills.
"Broken!"
Qu Hongling picked it up with two fingers.
The Phoenix Sword rotates rapidly, dissolving the opponent's sword energy one by one.
After using its severed tail to block the two women, the monster quickly ran towards the depths of the mountain forest, throwing a severed hand from its abdomen as it ran.
The thrown severed hand either explodes into a cloud of smoke or turns into a weapon with sword energy.
Yelu Miaomiao and Qu Hongling were really unable to adapt to this novel way of escaping. After a few rounds, the monster actually escaped and disappeared into the deep forest.
“I don’t believe it, you can still run away!”
Yelu Miaomiao dodged a flying severed arm from the explosion, skimmed the ground with her toes, and quickly chased after him.
......
The monster woman used her hands and feet to deliberately leave traces to confuse her pursuers, while she quickly shuttled through the forest, and soon escaped into the depths of the valley.
The mountains and rocks here are rugged and craggy, making it perfect for hiding.
The monster woman looked around, picked a huge rock with a protrusion above it, and hid behind it.
The monster gasped rapidly, and black blood continued to seep from the wound.
Besieged by the four women of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, she was seriously injured by the lion's roar. If it hadn't been for the vision that came from the sky later, whether she could have left alive was another matter.
Now they are being chased by Qu Hongling and others, and they resort to self-mutilation to escape, almost losing half of their lives.
I didn’t expect that this journey of finding opportunities would be so bumpy.
The woman in black looked at her ugly and mutilated body, suddenly feeling a little confused.
In order to pursue the so-called swordsmanship, to compete for the position of head of the Mysterious Sword Sect, and to make a bet with Jiang Wan... is it worth it for me to do this?
Thinking of the words Jiang Wan said to her in the past, the woman's face became ferocious and her eyes gradually became firm.
Worth it!
Definitely worth it!
As long as you follow the method recorded in the secret method, you will definitely be able to stand at the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
The monster woman took a breath and prepared to continue running away.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly sniffed her nose, and her red and cold eyes slowly moved to a sunken pile of rocks not far away on the left.
The monster woman dragged her remaining body and silently moved to the pile of stones.
Then he saw three people hiding inside.
It was a young bride and groom, and a nervous-looking man holding a knife.
It turned out to be them.
The monster woman sneered at the corner of her mouth.
Previously, she left the realm of the Wanxiang Divine Sect and was weak due to hunger, and her cultivation level plummeted.
In order to fill her stomach and regain some cultivation, she attacked a wedding party. While eating others, several people ran away, including the bride and groom.
The couple was able to escape entirely because of this big man with a knife.
A big man is a cultivator, a first-class martial artist.
At that time, she was weak and worried about the other party, so she was too lazy to chase and allowed the big man to rescue the newlyweds.
I didn’t expect to meet you here again at this moment.
Judging from the groom's painful appearance as he covered his feet, it was obvious that his legs and feet were injured and he had no choice but to rest here.
"If God lets you die, you can only blame your own bad luck."
Seeing the delicious food in front of her, the monster woman's belly growled, and she stopped inking, directly Pounced in. In order to solve the problem, she pounced on the big man first.
Facing the sudden appearance of the monster, the three of them were frightened.
Especially the groom, who peed his pants directly.
The big man had some courage, shouted angrily, raised his knife and chopped off the monster woman's head.
But the next second, the big man flew out upside down and hit the boulder. Several bones in his body were broken and he couldn't move.
Although the woman was seriously injured, she had killed so many people before, and now she turned into a monster again. She was no longer afraid of the big man who was just a warrior.
The monster lay on the big man's body, buried its head and began to bite.
Blood spurted out.
Under the moonlight, this scene was extremely terrifying.
The monster's remaining body began to change, and soon returned to its human form, but because Qu Hongling had cut off its tail before, it was missing two legs.
However, as I eat, my two feet are also slowly growing.
The bride and groom looked at this shocking scene with no color on their faces.
Seeing that the woman in black only cared about killing the big man, the young and delicate bride mustered up the courage to help the groom whose legs and feet were injured, and carefully moved out of the pile of rocks without daring to breathe.
After putting some distance between them, the two quickened their pace slightly.
But at this moment, the woman in black suddenly raised her head.
“Can you run away?”
She licked the blood at the corner of her mouth, with a cruel smile on her face, and crawled after her with both hands.
"Help...Help!"
When the groom saw this, he was frightened to death.
Seeing that the monster's movements were restricted at the moment, he gritted his teeth and pushed the bride to the ground. He picked up a stone and hit the bride on the head, then dragged his injured legs and feet and ran away desperately.
The incapacitated bride fell to the ground, her face covered with blood.
The woman in black was stunned when she saw this scene.
Looking at the fleeing groom, she sneered, and then threw herself on the bride.
The groom was crying and running, ignoring the severe pain in his feet and running as fast as he could.
——
The night falls, the bright moon is in the sky, the stars are few and far between, and only a few cold stars are dotted in the deep sky.
Ran Qingchen leaned against a tree and stared at the bonfire in trance. It has been two days since she left the capital.
If you want to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains, even if you fly with a sword, it will take at least two or three days.
However, perhaps due to confusion and inexplicable timidity, Ran Qingchen did not choose to wield the sword, but walked forward on foot.
She hopes to use this journey to hone her state of mind, and at the same time think better about her relationship with Jiang Shouzhong. After meeting the other person, she will understand what she really wants.
Leaving Ran Mansion to find Jiang Shouzhong was somewhat impulsive.
She went quickly and saw the other person, and she didn’t know what to say.
Whether it is anger, anger, drawing a clear line or drawing a sword... I have not thought about these.
As time went by, the resentment in her heart faded a lot.
Of course, it may be a backlog in my heart.
The time has not yet come for complete catharsis.
The night breeze was blowing gently, the leaves were rustling, and occasionally a few crows were heard chirping, intermittent.
The woman closed her eyes and prepared to rest for a while before continuing on her way.
But at this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded from deep in the woods.
Originally the footsteps were coming from the other side. Maybe the other party noticed the light of the fire, so they turned around and ran towards Ran Qingchen again, accompanied by rapid breathing.
Ran Qingchen frowned and put on his hat.
What appeared in the forest was a groom wearing a festive red dress.
The groom's skin is fair and his temperament looks like he belongs to a wealthy family. But at this moment, he looked terrified, as if he was being hunted by something, and his feet were stained with blood.
After seeing Ran Qingchen, the young groom was stunned.
Although the woman was wearing a bamboo hat and could not see her face, her graceful and slender figure reflected under the bonfire still made him lose consciousness for a moment.
“Is something wrong?”
Ran Qingchen’s voice was cold.
The groom suddenly came to his senses.
When he caught a glimpse of the sword beside Ran Qingchen, the groom's eyes lit up and he realized that the other party was a traveling monk. He called for help urgently: "Hero, help me, there is a monster chasing me!"
Monster?
Ran Qingchen frowned slightly.
She did not feel the presence of evil spirits around her.
Seeing the other party's embarrassed appearance, and finding out that the man was just an ordinary person with no trace of cultivation, Ran Qingchen asked coldly: "What kind of monster?"
"I...I don't know either."< br>
The groom looked back, trembling and came to the fire.
He wanted to get closer to Ran Qingchen in search of a sense of security, but he felt the other party's cold aura that was far away, so he didn't dare to step forward, so he had to stay close to the fire.
The groom said in a trembling voice:
"Nvxia, I am the young master of Zhang's family in Gunzhou. I went to pick up the bride tonight, but I encountered a monster on the way..."
The man's face turned pale, and his voice was shaking as he recalled the horrific scene. Almost deformed.
"This monster is very ferocious. It will eat anyone it catches. Even a master invited by our Zhang family is no match for it."
"Midnight wedding?"
< br>Ran Qingchen narrowed his eyes.
The groom's official explained: "This is the custom here. In the past, there was war and chaos, and bandits would snatch the bride. People would pick up the bride secretly in the middle of the night. Later, the custom was passed down."
Ran Qingchen asked: " Everyone else is dead?"
The groom nodded bitterly: "Ying... they should all be dead."
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the distance. sound.
The groom's face turned pale instantly.
His eyes were horrified: "It seems...it seems to be Tan Mei's voice."
Looking at the festive groom's clothes on the other party, Ran Qingchen seemed to be touched by something. After hesitating, he raised his sword and pointed towards the tragic man. Go where the cry came from.
“Woman!”
The groom saw this and shouted.
Ran Qingchen frowned slightly, glanced at the opponent's injured legs and feet, threw a pill and said coldly: "Follow me if you don't want to die."
After saying that, the woman tapped her toes and flew through the woods lightly.
A moment later, she saw a dead body.
It is the body of the big man.
The corpse was unrecognizable. It seemed to have been eaten by wild beasts. It was shocking. The internal organs were flowing all over the floor, and there were blood stains all around. It was unbearable to look at.
“What kind of monster is so cruel?”
Ran Qingchen was secretly shocked.
Following the blood stain, she searched carefully all the way.
Soon, I saw the bride again.
The bride was lying in a pool of blood, her body was equally horrific, and her face was almost destroyed.
What surprised Ran Qingchen was that the bride was still breathing.
Apparently the monster heard the commotion and just left before he had time to kill her.
Ran Qingchen squatted down, put his hands on the bride's body to absorb some vitality, and tried to save her. Unfortunately, she was unable to save her and could only watch the woman's aura weaken.
"Mei Tan!"
The groom, who was following him desperately, saw the bride on the ground and made a sad sound. He didn't know whether it was sadness or guilt.
Perhaps because she heard the man's voice, or perhaps because Ran Qingchen's incoming vitality gave her some vitality, the bride's body, which had only one breath left, suddenly started to move.
She slowly opened her blood-hole-like eyes and slowly crawled towards the groom, her pupils full of resentment and grief.
"Zhang Lang, why...are you trying to hurt me...why are you...abandoning me..."
"Mei Tan?"
The groom was frightened. He collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.
"Zhang Lang..."
The bride trembled slightly and stretched out her hand bones, which were only connected to some flesh. Finally, she closed her eyes and stopped breathing.
After reacting, Ran Qingchen stared at the groom with cold eyes: "You deliberately left her here in order to escape for your life?"
The groom cried bitterly: "I... …I don’t want to either…”
“You really deserve to die!”
Ran Qingchen gritted his teeth. "You actually... left your bride and ran away!?"
The groom in front of her constantly overlapped with the man in the groom's uniform a few days ago, and the familiar murderous rage filled her chest again, eating away at her rationality bit by bit.
Damn it!
You all deserve to die!
The bridegroom officer noticed that Ran Qingchen’s eyes seemed to have red light floating in them, and a strong murderous intention permeated his whole body.
The woman who looked like a fairy before seemed to be a different person at this moment, her whole body was extremely cold.
The woman gripped the sword tightly, and the blade buzzed.
The groom was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Xia Xia, please forgive me, Xia Xia, have mercy on me. I didn't mean to abandon Tan Mei. I didn't..."
" Die!"
Ran Qingchen swung his sword.
When the woman gradually regained her senses, she saw that the groom had been chopped into pieces.
The festive clothes were also broken into pieces and scattered around.
Ran Qingchen staggered back a few steps, dazed.
She looked down at the blood-stained sword in her hand, and then at the red groom's uniform. In an instant, the woman had an illusion, as if she was killing Jiang Mo.
“Qingchen?”
Suddenly, a strange and cold voice came from behind.
Ran Qingchen was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw a woman in black standing not far away.
“Master?”
Ran Qingchen was stunned.
