Chapter 230 Netherworld Ghost Soldier
Three Travelers Cave's plank road is not only in disrepair, but also narrow and smooth, no more than five feet wide, and the wooden boards are broken in some places.
Arrows were falling like rain, and there was nowhere to hide.
Li Yan's complexion changed slightly, and he turned sideways into the hole.
Bang bang bang!
On the ground outside the cave, arrows fell one after another. Although they did not penetrate the stone wall, they carved small holes and scattered gravel.
Li Yan Before he got up, he suddenly felt something cold behind him.
"Hehe..."
At the same time, weird and sharp laughter sounded in his ears, but a human shadow puppet was already approaching.
Human Skin Puppet Regardless of the refining time or difficulty, it is extremely amazing. It can be favored by many evil cultivators and regarded as a secret technique, so its power cannot be underestimated.
Once they take shape, they become bloodthirsty spirits.
Although Rampaging Soldiers is strong, in the end it only has its soul. Its advantages are obvious, but its weaknesses are equally obvious.
The body is the boat of the soul. If there is no body, the soul will be unrestrained, but it will also be restrained by the Gangsha Energy between heaven and earth.
Just like the Rampaging Soldiers that attacked Li Yan in Li Family Fortress, it would always be attached to the body of the evil wolf and turn into a soul to attack, unable to even enter the Li family gate.
As for Human Skin Puppet, it uses human skin as its puppet body, and Yin Energy as its soul. It is naturally stronger than Rampaging Soldiers.
The two Human Skin Puppets were flying up and down, entangled with Rampaging Soldiers, gradually drawing them away, while the other end took the opportunity to sneak attack.
The boatmen in the cave were all pale with fear.
In their eyes, a figure suddenly appeared behind Li Yan, dressed in red Paper Wedding Dress, with a face that looked like it had been painted with white powder, lips that were bloody, and eyes that were empty.
Weird laughter immediately echoed in the cave.
At the same time, Li Yan felt his whole body stiffen, and a cold, snow-white hand slowly came out from his shoulder, carrying the pungent smell of corpse.
Jingle bell bell!
Li Yan snorted coldly, and Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin Sword Tassel swayed.
The chill dissipated, and he regained control of his body. Severing Dust Blade held a knife in his hand and thrust his backhand backwards.
There is no doubt about the power of Severing Dust Blade.
The Shouyang Copper Essence is the core, and it has been bombarded by the sky thunder for hundreds of years. It has the Thunder Gang murderous intent. Coupled with the Huashan Hermit's exquisite techniques, it has been forged into a top-grade evil-destroying magic weapon.
"Yeah~"
Before the blade could reach, Human Skin Puppet screamed and retreated.
However, how could Li Yan miss the opportunity?
Wow!
The invisible Soul Hooking Chain roared out, Human Skin Puppet in the air suddenly froze, and then Blade Light flashed past.
Poof!
Human Skin Puppet was directly split into two halves, and Yin Energy dissipated and fell to the ground with a clatter, turning into two pieces of soft human skin.
He turned his head suddenly and looked at the human skin flying outside the cave.
"Yeah--!"
Feeling his murderous intent, the two human skins let out a scream and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
At the same time, on the plank road outside, Old Taoist, who was controlling Human Skin Puppet, groaned and almost fell down.
Controlling soldiers and horses will backfire, and this evil and cruel Human Skin Puppet will be no exception.
One of them was broken by Li Yan, which immediately shocked him.
What's even more troublesome is that, taking advantage of this gap, two wind sounds followed closely in the darkness, but they were the remaining two Human Skin Puppet.
Old Taoist was startled and quickly picked up the magic weapon in his hand.
A small gong and a Locust Wood pole.
The gong is used by the shadow puppet theater troupe.
The Locust Wood rod is used to control shadow puppets.
On the day the magic is refined, these two objects become the things that can restrain Human Skin Puppet.
Clang clang clang!
Intensive gong sounds sounded.
From what others heard, it was just a little noisy.
But the two Human Skin Puppet screamed in pain instantly, flew up and down twice, and then stopped moving.
When encountering such a weird thing, even if there are Long Xiang Army around, I can only feel hairy all over my body and a chill rising in my heart.
"Daoist Cheng, just block the opponent Rampaging Soldiers!"
Old Beggar's eyes flashed with displeasure.
These warlocks and killers all hid in Jingchu Mountain Area to avoid being wanted by the court, and were later hired by the Lord with large sums of money to assist him in completing his mission.
The harsh words are powerful, but none of them are useful at the critical moment.
The Old Taoist looked ugly, but didn't say anything more. He tried his best to control Human Skin Puppet and entangled with Wang Dao Xuan Rampaging Soldiers.
At present, Li Yan and others are forced into the cave, but the outer plank road of Three Travelers Cave is narrow. No matter how many people they have, it will not be easy to break in.
Old Beggar's escape skills are extraordinary, but after suffering a loss once, he did not dare to touch it and get close to Li Yan.
Thinking of this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Get ready, use Miasma Smoke!"
When several men in black heard this, they immediately stepped forward, took off the bamboo tube from their waists, and swung it toward the entrance of the cave.
At the same time, several archers fired arrows continuously.
Bang bang bang!
The bamboo tube was shattered, and pink smoke rose into the sky. Although a lot of it was swept away by the mountain wind, some also drifted into the cave.
"Back up!"
When Yuan Baihu saw it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Everyone retreated one after another, but two boatmen were so frightened that they were stunned and unable to dodge. They inhaled the pink poisonous smoke and immediately twitched all over and turned white, and their faces turned dark.
Fortunately, Three Travelers Cave is quite large, with large holes connected to small holes. After they retreated through two holes in a row, the poisonous smoke no longer filled the air.
Yuan Baihu said anxiously, "This is made by the poisonous barrier collected by the Jingchu people in the forest. It is very poisonous, and the imperial army in Yunyang also suffered losses."
"We must find a way to break out!"
"The hole is blocked, where are you going to run!" Sha LiFei roared dissatisfied, and then looked at Li Yan.
Although the packages containing gunpowder were soaked in water, he packed them separately and some of them were still usable. He could also block the enemy by blowing up the plank road at the entrance to the station.
It's just that the original hundred households are here, which is a bit of a hindrance.
Li Yan shook his head slightly, and then said in a deep voice, "Everyone turns around. No matter what you hear, don't turn around and look around."
Yuan Baihu and the boatmen were stunned, wondering what he was going to do.
"What are you doing so stupidly? Turn around!"
Sha LiFei looked anxious and cursed.
As for Wang Dao Xuan and Lu San, they had already turned their backs and closed their eyes.
They know that Li Yan is preparing to summon the Yin soldiers.
These are not ordinary soldiers and horses, but come from the Yin Division, equivalent to the existence of the Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect Lu Soldiers.
Ordinary soldiers and horses are Yin Soul Fierce Ghost, mountain spirits and evil demons. If they collide accidentally, Divine Soul will be damaged, or even seriously ill.
So when Shangjin City attacked the mountain stronghold, Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect troops arrived, and everyone was ordered not to move.
As for Netherworld Ghost Soldier, it's best not to even look at it.
If you are scared out of your mind, it will be a troublesome thing.
When everyone turned around, Li Yan had taken out the ultimatum, and said in a deep voice, "Qing Jia! Up to the black sky, down to the black earth, there is no light in the black sky, and there is no door in the black earth. The Yin people send troops, the Yang people avoid them, collect the evil spirits and retreat, collect the ghosts and ghosts to die, I entrust Northern Yin Fengdu, be as urgent as the law!"
As soon as the spell fell, a stream of cold Yin Qi shot out from the gou ultimatum, which was Celestial Decree used to summon the Yin soldiers.
Phew~
This yin energy fell into the ground, and a strong wind suddenly blew up inside the cave.
The coldness rose up, and the surrounding ground condensed with frost at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the coldness penetrated into the bone marrow.
They were originally holding torches, swaying in the movement.
At this time, the surroundings suddenly became dark, and the light of the torch seemed to be suppressed by this darkness, and then extinguished, making it impossible to see any fingers.
Then, something even weirder happened.
The sound of wind, rain, and the footsteps getting closer and closer outside the cave all disappeared, as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Even Li Yan's eyes were in darkness.
He could smell some breath, but it was vague and difficult to detect, and the sound of armor could also be heard in his ears.
Are these the Yin soldiers?
Li Yan felt a chill in his heart and clung to the ultimatum tightly.
He found that he was wrong.
This Netherworld Ghost Soldier and ordinary soldiers and horses are completely different concepts, even somewhat beyond his understanding.
Wow!
The sound of armor rustling became more and more frequent.
This time, even others can hear it.
It was as if an icy army appeared and passed by them, but they couldn't see or feel any presence.
At this time, there was even more chaos outside the cave.
Old Beggar's awakened Divine Ability is also very special. His eyes are flashing red, which is a bit like a clairvoyant eye, but he can see the flow of Qi.
He saw Li Yan and others being forced back by the poisonous mist, and thinking that the time had come, he ordered an attack, rushed directly to the entrance of the cave, and killed everyone with the poison barrier.
Anyway, what he wanted was something, and he had no intention of catching him alive.
However, as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the cave, a sense of fear arose in his heart.
Then, darkness visible to the naked eye spread outward.
This mass of darkness was very fast and accompanied by the sound of dense armor. Wherever it passed, all the men in black holding torches were swallowed up.
"Quickly retreat!"
Old Beggar roared angrily and backed away quickly.
He was shocked and puzzled, and couldn't figure out how these turtles in the urn could still have such powerful spells?
What is there in the darkness?
Old Beggar was curious and started Divine Ability with all his strength. His eyes suddenly glowed red, which was extremely obvious on a rainy night.
Then, his body stiffened.
"General!"
The young Long Xiang Army commander Lin SiLang shouted quickly and turned to look at Old Beggar.
However, Old Beggar did not respond. His face turned pale, cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and there was only fear in his eyes.
Lin SiLang felt terrified in his heart, but before he had time to think about it, the surroundings quickly fell into darkness.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of chains, and then his consciousness became dim, as if he was falling into a black ocean, sinking downward...
"Let's go!"
The three masters brought by Old Beggar naturally responded very quickly.
The Confucian scholar turned around and ran away, but his boxing and kicking skills were mediocre. He didn't even have Hidden Strength. He was swallowed up by the darkness before he could even take two steps...
The female assassin had the best kung fu, Hidden Strength was erupting under her feet, and with a whoosh, she jumped high from the plank road, turned over in mid-air, fell from the cliff, and was swallowed up by the rolling river with a pop...
And Old Taoist, who controls Human Skin Puppet, is the most unlucky.
He was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, but he forgot to beat the gong and drum in his hand.
Human Skin Puppet This thing is not like soldiers and horses. Every time it is used, it must not only be stimulated, but always prevent its backlash, and it must be suppressed again after it is finished.
The sound of gongs and drums stopped, and a Human Skin Puppet suddenly roared over and pressed directly against his back, as if he was carrying someone behind him.
Master Old Taoist froze, and Human Skin Puppet was swallowed by darkness.
Another Human Skin Puppet broke away from its restraints and flew in the air with a strange smile, as if it was trying to escape.
However, there was a sudden sound of chains in the darkness.
That Human Skin Puppet seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand and suddenly pulled into the darkness without any movement...
In just the blink of an eye, the entire mountaintop fell into deathly silence.
In the cave on the other side, no one dared to move.
Li Yan held the gou ultimatum and swallowed.
He could feel that the summoned Yin soldiers had completed their mission, and their aura was rapidly dissipating.
One Celestial Decree can summon a battalion of 500 Yin soldiers.
He wasn't afraid at first, but the Yin soldiers were far more powerful than expected.
There are nearly a hundred Long Xiang Army outside, all of whom are good at fighting. There are also four masters who are difficult to deal with in close combat and spells.
But facing the Yin soldiers, there was no way to resist...
Phew!
Suddenly, the sound of wind started coming around again.
The torches were still flickering, illuminating the light and shadow behind everyone. The atmosphere in this deserted cave was very strange.
However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared with just now, they actually felt as if they had returned to the earth from the Nine Netherlands.
Everyone looked at each other and walked out of the cave entrance.
The plank road was densely packed with dead bodies. Everyone's face was ashen, and there was even frost condensation on their faces. Their eyes were staring, and even the fear on their faces was frozen.
Those boatmen and bows were naturally frightened.
What they saw before them was beyond their comprehension.
Even Yuan Baihu took a breath and looked at Li Yan secretly, his eyes full of fear.
This kind of power may not be stopped by even a thousand households.
No wonder City God Temple attaches so much importance to it...
"Search and see what you can find!"
Li Yan had already picked up the ultimatum and said in a deep voice.
Although Sha LiFei and Lu San were also shocked, they knew what was more important, so they stepped forward and groped the men in black.
Li Yan is naturally no exception.
He turned on Olfactory Mystical Power. What was on these people could not be hidden from his nose.
Those black-clothed Long Xiang Army didn't care. Sha LiFei and Lu San found a few poisoned bamboo tubes and carefully put them away.
They had seen the ferocity of this thing before.
And Li Yan strode forward, groping directly on the dead Old Beggar, and immediately found several things.
The first is the other party's Erhu, which is an extraordinary magic weapon.
Then, there were medicine packs one by one, which should be used by the opponent to perform illusion escape techniques. Unfortunately, I don't know how to use them...
There is also a token and a letter.
The letter was wrapped in oil paper and had not been wet by rain.
The light here is not good, and the wind and rain have not stopped, so Li Yan simply put it in his arms and waited to check after entering the cave.
Then, he searched for the Daoist priest and Confucian scholar.
There were a lot of bits and pieces on the Daoist's body, including disposable magical implements, paper charms, etc. Some of them I couldn't figure out what they were.
The opponent's Human Skin Puppet was naturally suppressed by the Yin Division soldiers and horses. It was now in tatters and emitted an unpleasant corpse stench...
As for the old Confucian scholar, Li Yan was pleasantly surprised.
The other party carried a small bamboo box with him, which contained bottles and cans and a few books.
"It's a pity that one of them ran away."
Li Yan looked down at the dark canyon and shook his head slightly.
After returning to the cave, several people began to sort out the loot.
Li Yan first took out the letter and looked at it casually for a few times. His face became more and more solemn and his face became gloomy.
He didn't say anything and handed it directly to Yuan Baihu.
Seeing his expression, Yuan Baihu already had a bad feeling in his heart. After taking the letter and looking at it for a few times, his expression immediately turned ugly.
"You thief, how dare you harm me!"
