Chapter 553 Life and Death in the Dark Night
“Crash!”
Outside the door of the ancient hall, the endless darkness that had been blocked by the weak light actually surged directly into the hall the moment the light was cut off.
The light that could dimly illuminate the entire room suddenly became even weaker at this moment, and the range that the light could illuminate was reduced by nearly half in an instant.
The light can only illuminate half of the room.
“You, what are you doing?”
“You really cut off the candle directly. You, you want to kill all of us. You, hurry up, connect the candle!”
In the ancient hall, everyone's eyes trembled with horror when they looked at Su Xiaofan's action!
Several figures who were originally hiding in the corner of the ancient palace also moved suddenly. At this moment, their eyes obviously burst out with terrifying anger and confusion!
They looked at Su Xiaofan and didn’t understand what Su Xiaofan was doing!
“This young man...is so fierce?”
The black donkey, I don’t know when, has also followed back to the entrance of the hall. It looked at Su Xiaofan’s action, and its eyes widened suddenly!
It was shocked to see it and was a little stunned!
“Isn’t this going to kill you?”
“How dare you do what I don’t dare to do, Mr. Donkey? Hey, young man, you’re going to die. That ancient bronze lamp doesn’t work! Mr. Donkey, I’ve seen it before!”
The donkey was shocked and said something else.
…
Almost at this moment, when Su Xiaofan was cutting off the candle, he suddenly felt an extremely cold and terrifying aura on his neck, which exploded instantly.
Su Xiaofan felt as if a hand was grabbing his neck directly from behind.
My own body also lost control at this moment.
When that hand was stuck on his neck, his neck and his body seemed to be in a weird and terrifying state of disconnection.
Out of control!
Su Xiaofan’s expression finally changed.
Wrong!
When I was consulting the bronze head just now, didn't the bronze head say that I could hold this candle and leave this hall alive?
Why, when I cut off the candle, my neck was instantly locked by something strange?
Is it that old lady?
When he just cut off the candle, did he trigger the old lady's murder pattern to kill him?
Thoughts were racing in Su Xiaofan's mind, and Su Xiaofan also burst out forcefully, wanting to use his spiritual thoughts to penetrate the blockade around his neck and forcefully regain control of his body.
At the same time, Su Xiaofan was also preparing to forcefully wake up the system at the last moment.
At this moment, when he was almost dead, Su Xiaofan didn't worry so much anymore. The system in his mind just fell into a deep sleep, and it didn't disappear.
It is extremely afraid of something.
However, he was about to die. At this time, Su Xiaofan naturally did not care about things that the system was afraid of.
Su Xiaofan burst out forcefully, but his spiritual thoughts were obviously unable to penetrate his neck and control his body.
When the pair of invisible hands grabbed his neck in an instant, it seemed as if the situation was out of control in an instant. That taboo and strange power seemed to be able to easily isolate his consciousness and body.
CE
The hand fell on his neck. The hand tightened horribly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Su Xiaofan only felt it in an instant, and his breath was cut off.
Furthermore, at this moment, his cervical vertebrae also suffered an extremely terrifying squeeze.
His own body has been trained to the point where even an ordinary magic weapon cannot be broken open by attack. His cervical vertebrae, under the full force of his tension, can withstand the full blow of the Golden Immortal.
But at this moment, in front of the invisible hands, his cervical vertebrae seemed to be like those of ordinary people. When the hands contracted, his bones made a sound of breaking.
Cervical vertebrae are misaligned!
"system…"
Boom!
Su Xiaofan did not hide it at this moment. Su Xiaofan directly pushed his thoughts to the limit. Su Xiaofan wanted to directly use his spiritual thoughts to attack the sleeping system deep in the sea of consciousness!
This is also my biggest trump card here.
Click! Click! Click...
However, just when Su Xiaofan was about to attack with all his strength and his neck was about to break completely, Su Xiaofan suddenly felt that a second, extremely strange and mysterious aura appeared around his neck.
As that breath of air appeared, the hand on his neck suddenly let go.
The hand holding his neck was like porcelain, strangely shattered, and Su Xiaofan could clearly hear the cracking sound.
Su Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Su Xiaofan also instantly felt that he was relaxed, and the communication between his brain and his body was directly restored.
Body, activities are normal!
Su Xiaofan’s face turned pale and he took a step back.
"My name is Su Xiaofan. When you hear this sentence, I will be dead."
“I was just attacked by a strange and forbidden ghost. At the moment of life and death, the bronze head in my hand just saved my life. It fulfilled its promise.
I also know that if I place it on the bodies of three dead strong men in a row, then it will block another attack on the creature for me! "
At this moment, Su Xiaofan suddenly heard that the bronze head in his hand suddenly spoke again.
It’s just that!
When it spoke this time, it seemed to have used a special method of sound transmission. The people in the hall seemed not to hear it, and only they themselves heard its voice.
Su Xiaofan could feel that the eyes of the people in the hall were all on him, and very few looked at the bronze head in his hand.
“Bronze head, can’t tell lies.”
“The bronze head may release a trap in the truth.”
At the moment when Su Xiaofan took a step back, his mind suddenly remembered again the two important pieces of information the system said before falling asleep.
Su Xiaofan quickly figured out what the bronze head said before in his mind.
Bronze Head, when answering its own question at the end, there is a problem with its word order.
In its word order, what it says first is that if you don't use it to cut off the candle, then it will provide you with a chance to resist the taboo attack.
However, secondly, it said that if it used an ancient bronze lamp to shovel out the candle, it would not die. It could live and leave this dilapidated ancient palace.
The meaning of these two sentences is simply not that when you use an ancient bronze lamp to cut off a candle, no horrible changes will occur.
The real meaning of these two sentences is that you will suffer horrific mutations, but it will help you block the blow and you will not die!
Every word it says is true, but does every true word carry a trap?
It just let itself be used up once. What chance did it have to take action?
Su Xiaofan's face was a little gloomy, and Su Xiaofan's eyes also glanced at the bronze head in his hand.
唰!
However, these thoughts flashed through Su Xiaofan's mind, but Su Xiaofan did not stop or explode.
Su Xiaofan just took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He still had to keep the bronze head. However, if he had the chance, he would also think of a way to find out what the bronze head was.
There may be traps in what he said, but you can try not to use this thing!
For example, the deal it is proposing now!
Furthermore, this bronze head obviously has something that it is afraid of. It just didn't want to use its body to cut off the candle.
Now weighing the pros and cons, this bronze head may actually be more beneficial to me.
In addition, this is a bronze head that the system asked itself to **** before it was completely silent. The system should also have thought that with this thing around, its probability of survival in this city should be greater.
After Su Xiaofan calmed down, he reached out and grabbed the candle that was cut off from its base on the altar in front of him.
On the base of the candle, bright red blood was dripping.
That blood smells fishy!
Su Xiaofan grabbed the candlestick, which was like a human hand. The candle was cold in his hands, as if there was a stream of air-conditioning that was going to penetrate into his body along his hand holding the candle.
Plop! Plop!
Just when Su Xiaofan picked up the candle, two more figures suddenly followed in the hall and fell to the ground without any warning.
The two men fell to the ground, and there were surprisingly two **** handprints on their left chests and left arms!
“In the main hall, the strange and forbidden ghost that kills people has accelerated the speed of killing? Or has it amplified the pattern of killing?”
“You, what on earth are you doing? Do you really want everyone to die? You…”
In the main hall, everyone's expressions were changing. They looked at Su Xiaofan and saw that the murderous intent among them had erupted again.
“Get out of here!”
“I said, if you don’t want to die, come with me!”
Su Xiaofan paid no attention to the people in the dilapidated hall. The moment Su Xiaofan got the candle, he turned around and walked towards the door.
“You just reminded us, weren’t you trying to save us?”
"Why are you doing this again now? Are you worthy of your conscience by doing this? Don't you feel that you are selfish?"
In the corner of the main hall, there was a young girl who looked like a college student on earth. She pointed at Su Xiaofan with a sharp voice.
“Did I say that I would save you?”
“I just told you what I discovered just so that you could follow me. If you follow me, when people continue to die, I may be able to discern some killing patterns from your deaths.
However, you can also gain some hope of survival in this situation.
Do you think, if I don’t remind you that there may be more than three weird and forbidden creatures here, what is the probability of you surviving?
You are all adults, or in other words, monks who have experienced many lives and deaths. I just gave you one more choice. Don’t you even understand this?
If you can’t even understand these, you can choose to stay! "
Su Xiaofan’s voice was cold as he spoke word by word.
Su Xiaofan had already reached the door before he could open his mouth. Su Xiaofan never wanted to be a Virgin in a place where there were many dangers and he could die at any time.
It is naturally impossible for Su Xiaofan to be restrained by so-called morality!
Going together is a choice, and at the same time, it is also a kind of mutual cooperation and utilization!
Shasha…shashasha…
Hold the bronze head in his left hand, the ghost lamp in his right hand, and the blood knife hanging on his waist. As for the ancient bronze lamp, Su Xiaofan had thrown it into his backpack.
Su Xiaofan had already reached the door of the main hall before he could speak.
In this hall, the taboo ghost that has been killing people since the beginning is still killing people, and the old lady who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair has also disappeared.
It is naturally impossible for Su Xiaofan to stay here any longer. Su Xiaofan feels that this hall may soon become a place of death.
Su Xiaofan could vaguely guess that the real function of this ghost lamp was to restrict strange and forbidden creatures and trigger death conditions.
For example!
That murderous handprint, if that murderous handprint is as I guessed, and the killing pattern is that the person who carries the fingerprint and the person who does not carry the fingerprint are triggered by a certain distance between the same printed fingerprint position, then the ancient bronze lamp has May limit the distance at which it triggers.
For example, one of the dead people has a handprint on his chest.
Originally, to trigger this law of death, another person needs to be at the same position on the chest and three meters close to this handprint to trigger the law of death.
With this ghost light, under the light, the triggering distance may be shortened to one meter, or even half a meter!
This is a limitation!
Of course, this is just my own speculation. You need to observe more things to verify the specific things.
Su Xiaofan's mind was heading straight out of the hall.
But at this moment, Su Xiaofan also heard a familiar rustling sound.
The blood-stained shroud that stood at the door for a long time actually walked directly into the hall when he walked out of the door.
In the main hall, someone originally wanted to stop Su Xiaofan.
However, they heard Su Xiaofan's cold words. In addition, Su Xiaofan had previously killed Zhou Zheng with a knife, and Su Xiaofan had just forcibly removed the candlestick. After all, no one dared to really step forward to stop him.
The people in the main hall obviously knew that under such circumstances, fighting here was almost looking for death!
"you…"
The young female monk, seeing Su Xiaofan speaking like this, was so frightened that her face couldn't help but turn red.
She wanted to speak, but a middle-aged female monk next to her held her hand.
At this moment, her eyes suddenly saw that when Su Xiaofan walked out of the room, the old and blood-stained shroud suddenly walked into the room.
“Let’s go, follow him, don’t talk nonsense!”
The middle-aged woman, while the girl was still scared, had obviously made a decision quickly, and the shock and anger in her eyes only lasted for a second.
She seems to know very well that in a place like this, any emotion is worthless in the face of absolute life and death and ghosts!
“He was already dead just now!”
“Why is he still alive? When he touched the lampstand, he had obviously touched the old lady’s killing rules. The old lady was not like that kind of mobile ghost that appeared once and then disappeared.
In fact, this old lady has been staying around the candlestick all these years.
She only rarely appears, and rarely kills people when the candlestick is still lit. According to the information I have, the candlestick, the altar table, and the two Taishi chairs should all be damaged, moved, or even damaged, which will trigger death. rules man.
Didn’t he trigger it just now? "
In a corner of the main hall, there was a middle-aged man. In this brief moment, he had already made a choice. He also quickly walked towards the outside of the room and followed him.
He seemed to know something, but when he looked at Su Xiaofan's back, his eyes were obviously full of doubts.
The bronze head in Su Xiaofan's hand. After entering the ancient palace, basically only Su Xiaofan could hear what he said. They did not hear the previous conversation between Su Xiaofan and the bronze head.
“Is that thing awake?”
The donkey was guarding the door. While looking at Su Xiaofan, it also looked at the shroud that looked like a cleaner. Its eyes were surprised, and then it said: "How did you survive? You blocked the attack of that ghost? You What are you using to block it?"
“Is there anything on you?”
“What can we do to stop the attacks of these weird things in the ancient city?”
Su Xiaofan did not answer the donkey’s question.
Su Xiaofan asked the donkey a question the moment he walked out of the hall door.
“What’s stopping me? How could I possibly know?”
"By the way, I see that you have a lot of things on you. Are you tired? Otherwise, how about I hold the candle in your hand for you?"
When the donkey saw Su Xiaofan asking, it immediately changed the subject, and its eyes suddenly fell on Su Xiaofan's hand.
Su Xiaofan’s eyes stayed on the donkey for half a second.
Subsequently, Su Xiaofan saw Donkey's eyes flickering and walked directly in the direction of Hong Feng, Hong Yuan and the twelve demon kings.
Those who can survive to this day may have secrets in many people here.
The donkey also has a secret.
Su Xiaofan could roughly tell that the donkey had most likely been attacked by the **** handprint. However, the donkey didn't know what method he used to survive.
Su Xiaofan had just experienced the extremely terrifying forbidden ghost attack. Su Xiaofan knew very well how terrifying this attack was.
Just relying on the strength of one's own body, it is almost difficult to resist these horrible killing rules that prohibit weird ghosts!
That donkey can’t do the same!
Su Xiaofan walked around and the lights flickered.
The weak light was almost in a weak state when it was in the house and could be extinguished at any time. After leaving the house, the light seemed even weaker.
The area illuminated by the lights is only about eleven or twelve flat.
“Boss, the Mammoth Demon King is dead, dead!”
“Its eyes turned pure white! Its eyes seemed to be filled with white wax!”
When the Buffalo Demon King saw Su Xiaofan coming back, excitement burst out from its eyes. Su Xiaofan had been gone for less than a minute, but the Buffalo Demon King felt as if a century had passed.
Following Su Xiaofan may not be very safe, but with Su Xiaofan around, the bison still feels safer around him.
"Walk!"
The lights illuminated, and Su Xiaofan could see clearly that the Mammoth Demon King had fallen down in the brief minute he left.
It's body is lying flat, and it has remained reduced to the size of a normal human even after death. Its two eyes have turned pale white.
Its two eyes were sealed with a thick layer of wax.
Su Xiaofan didn’t know. It had just stayed here, and it had touched some strange, forbidden creature.
Crisis!
In this endless darkness, there are indeed countless terrifying crises that cannot be seen at all. Su Xiaofan now wants to understand why Hong Feng, who was so arrogant before, was so anxious to escape before the night came.
“Did you take out the ghost-hand candle?”
While the Buffalo Demon King and the other demon kings were excited, Hong Feng couldn't help but look at the candle in Su Xiaofan's hand. Looking at it, there was also a touch of shock in his eyes.
Obviously, he also knew the meaning of that candle.
“Senior brother, there are some people in the main hall behind, following us!” Hong Yuan also glanced towards the back.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped…
At the same moment, the footsteps in front of them, as if they were real, seemed to have walked to the side of a group of people.
Su Xiaofan could clearly feel that the moss and strange mildew under his feet almost seemed to have spread on the ground.
The owner of the footsteps seems to be able to affect the surrounding environment.
“Old, boss, you, look, that person, what is that thing? He has no head?”
The Black Tiger Demon King's eyes are bright. The Black Tiger Demon King's vision is obviously higher than that of other demon kings without using any energy or magic.
At this time, its tiger eyes were round and wide. It looked ahead and took a step back. The hair on its body suddenly exploded in horror!
It turned out to be like an ordinary cat, with its fur blowing up!
Su Xiaofan had obviously seen clearly the figure coming step by step from the front when it was furling.
That figure has no head!
He was wearing a suit of armor, and every step he took was heavy. There was a moisture on his body. As he walked, the ground under his feet was covered with a layer of moss and traces of mildew at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He walked aimlessly, as if he had no goal or direction at all.
The lamp that looked like a human hand in Su Xiaofan's hand trembled with terror at this moment.
The light is brighter than before, and the lamp oil seems to be consumed faster.
but!
The surrounding lights that should have been able to illuminate a wider area suddenly shrank by nearly half when the headless man passed by.
This light can barely cover Su Xiaofan, Hong Feng, Hong Yuan and a group of monsters.
“This thing…”
The black donkey stood there, not daring to move. It stared at the headless corpse on the road ahead. It seemed to have thought of something, but its brows were furrowed. In the donkey's eyes, It was like endless doubts flashed through.
“Plop!”
At the back, among the dozen or so figures who had just walked out of the ancient palace, someone suddenly fell to the ground when the headless man appeared.
“Someone died!”
“Did you encounter a scary ghost when you just went out? Do we want to go back?”
“We have been hiding in this ancient city for so many years, are we all going to die here?”
The group of people who walked out of the dilapidated ancient palace were completely tense to the extreme. At this time, when they saw some people coming to the end again, some people almost collapsed in their hearts.
“Hong Feng, you lead the way.”
“Go to that place you mentioned earlier, the one closest to here, the safe spot you know.”
Su Xiaofan’s eyes passed over the headless man, and then, Su Xiaofan spoke directly to Hong Feng.
The light swayed in Su Xiaofan's hand. At this time, Su Xiaofan's state of mind was as calm as it was, and Su Xiaofan's thoughts were extremely clear.
"good!"
Hong Feng heard this and did not refuse this time.
He knew very well that if he did not walk to the next refuge point as quickly as possible, he would die sooner or later on this dark road!
He stepped forward quickly, and Hong Yuan followed closely behind him.
“Boss, I’ll go in front of you.”
The Buffalo Demon King saw Su Xiaofan and had already stepped forward with a lamp in hand. It volunteered and walked in front of Su Xiaofan, behind Hong Feng and Hong Yuan.
Su Xiaofan didn’t stop him.
Su Xiaofan knows very well that with the lamp in his hand, he may be safer if he is centered on himself and the closer he is to himself.
As for the front and rear, in this darkness, they are no longer so important.
Because weird and terrifying things may hit you head-on, or they may appear directly from the surrounding darkness or even from behind.
Just like the person who died among the crowd just now!
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped…
Hong Feng led the way. Su Xiaofan held the lamp and followed quickly. However, the heavy headless figure seemed not to notice the crowd at all.
Except for the demon king who died mysteriously at the beginning, and a person who died mysteriously among the crowd behind, no one else died.
Su Xiaofan couldn't tell whether it was the contribution of the ghost candle in his hand or the headless man who didn't notice the contribution of everyone at all.
The lights were dim and Hong Feng was very fast.
About a minute later, Hong Feng and Su Xiaofan suddenly returned to the main road.
Huhuhu…
Darkness surged, and the main road was dead silent. It was as if the people who appeared on the main road during the battle had disappeared in an instant.
The wind was blowing and it was a bit cold.
“We’re almost there. After passing the first intersection, we’ll see the abandoned brothel.”
“However, it is different from the main hall. You need money to enter the brothel. The brothel has three floors. To enter the first floor, you need three copper coins, to enter the second floor you need six, and to enter the third floor you need twelve!
Each level you go up, the more copper you need to pay.
The brothel has always existed since I entered this ancient city. As far as I know, in the past hundred years, the number of horrific changes in the brothel has not exceeded thirty times!
However, the charges in that brothel were too high, and copper coins were almost extremely rare in this world. Very few people actually spent their entire lives in that brothel. "
Hong Feng spoke quickly. Hong Feng was obviously very familiar with the refuge places in this area of the city.
In fact, it’s not just Hong Feng.
Those who have lived in the ancient city for a period of time are almost all familiar with the refuge places near them, because if they are not familiar with them, they may die if any accident occurs!
“How long does a darkness in the ancient city last?”
Su Xiaofan glanced at the street, and Su Xiaofan suddenly spoke again.
Among the crowd at the back, there was a middle-aged man, looking at the darkness around him. At this moment, he seemed to have been frightened and his mentality collapsed. He staggered towards the front, obviously speeding up.
He even randomly squeezed into the group of demon kings in front of him.
After the headless man left, the light in Su Xiaofan's hand returned to normal brightness. This light could almost cover all the demon kings.
However, the crowd following behind could only touch the shadows of some lights.
The light was squeezing toward the eleven monster beasts. One monster immediately glared at the man, and even the donkey glared at the man.
because!
When the donkey was moving forward just now, it also forced its way into the group of eleven monster beasts.
The eleven monster beasts were obviously a little afraid of the black donkey. They were not very willing to get close to the donkey, but the donkey occupied a position in the light on Su Xiaofan's right.
“This is uncertain. Some nights come and last for a normal seven or eight hours, which is no different from the length of a normal night.
However, there are also dark nights that can last for several days. I even experienced a dark night that lasted for more than half a year more than a hundred years ago.
After that dark night, almost three-quarters of the people I knew died!
Even my master’s Taoist temple has encountered ghosts knocking on the door. Fortunately, my master used some weird and forbidden things to attract the forbidden ghosts outside the door.
I feel that if it weren’t for this black hole world, which is constantly absorbing new people who cross the void from the outside world, the people in the ancient city would almost be dead! "
Hong Feng obviously ignored the changes that followed.
While leading the way extremely seriously, he quickly explained to Su Xiaofan.
Although Su Xiaofan had just entered this ancient city, Hong Feng always felt that following Su Xiaofan would be safer than being alone here.
Hong Feng vaguely felt that Su Xiaofan had the same special temperament as his master.
But then, Hong Feng shook his head again.
His master has already reached the first level of Void Walker. The Su Xiaofan in front of him cannot reach that level no matter what. Otherwise, he will not be able to take action.
Although my master has the ability to temporarily suppress his realm and fight at the peak of the Golden Immortal, his master has never dared to take a real action in these years.
Because, life is only once.
At that level, they will obviously put their own safety first.
The Void Walker will also perish here!
"You guys, are you buying mushrooms?" Hong Feng asked as he walked. Seeing that the road was relatively safe, he even breathed a sigh of relief.
In his opinion, the ghost candle in Su Xiaofan's hand must have played a big role.
if not!
In his understanding, it is impossible for a normal monk to walk this far safely on the street.
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, an old voice suddenly came from the front, and at the same time, a figure in the darkness also blocked the front.
He turned his head with difficulty and looked at Su Xiaofan.
The crowd in the rear also stiffened, and they obviously heard this sound.
"is her?"
The Buffalo Demon King and the remaining ten demon kings looked at the figure in front of them, and their expressions became a little strange.
They had obviously seen this old lady selling mushrooms before on the way to the ancient city!
Is this thing also a strange and forbidden creature?
If this is the case, then if they were able to survive outside the city before, could it be that they did not violate her killing rules and escaped unintentionally?
“How much does a mushroom cost?”
Su Xiaofan raised his head, and after a moment of stiffness, he asked directly.
“Seven cents a piece.”
The old lady smiled, her smile seemed very kind, and she handed her basket forward.
“Seven articles?”
“When you were outside the city, didn’t you sell mushrooms for three cents each?”
The Buffalo Demon King remembered the scene where Liu Haotian bought mushrooms on that white path.
“Things in the city are always more expensive than in the village.”
"There is a fee to enter the city, and some official errands in the city also need to be taken care of. And at my age, I have traveled such a long way. Is it reasonable to charge more?"
The old lady shook her head as she spoke.
She had a sad look on her face, and it seemed that her life was not going very well.
“It’s not expensive, he buys it.”
As Su Xiaofan spoke, he glanced at Hong Feng and asked him to pay.
“Me, I don’t have enough money.”
Hong Feng looked at the old lady in front of him, his throat felt a little dry.
“If you don’t have money, you will die.”
Su Xiaofan also had a copper plate on his body, but Su Xiaofan, who already knew the role of the copper plate, would not give it away easily.
Su Xiaofan naturally didn’t believe Hong Feng’s words.
Hong Feng knew the function of the copper plate from the beginning. Under such circumstances, how could he not carry a copper plate with him when he went out? He could only carelessly tell the story.
Hearing Su Xiaofan's tone, Hong Feng's movements froze.
Hong Feng was arrogant, but not stupid. He could hear a lot from Su Xiaofan's tone, and he immediately dug into his arms.
He took out a wallet made of folded yellow paper. There were some ancient and special formation patterns carved on the yellow paper.
He took out seven copper coins from the yellow paper and handed them over as quickly as possible to the seemingly harmless old lady in front of him.
“Those who are covered with silkworms are not sericulture people.”
The old lady took the seven copper coins, shook her head, and sighed. She turned and walked towards the depths of the ancient city.
Her body was stooped, as if she was silently enduring a miserable life.
"You are not very afraid of this old lady. Have you seen this old lady before?" Su Xiaofan asked again when he saw Hong Feng paying.
"I just forgot that I had money with me. There are too many scary things, and my mind is a little confused."
“I have indeed seen this old lady. In the ancient city, apart from some extremely weird and terrifying taboo objects, there are also some existences like this old lady that are not very dangerous.
They are more like the original residents of this city.
Like this old lady, as long as you buy her mushrooms, there is usually no danger. Facing this kind of original-like residents, we are not very afraid..."
Hong Feng was extremely nervous and rubbed his nose awkwardly.
Although he chose to go with Su Xiaofan at this time, he obviously did not regard Su Xiaofan as one of his own. In his opinion, going together at this time was more like a kind of cooperation.
"die!"
Hong Feng spoke, but before he could finish his words, an extremely sinister voice burst out in the darkness behind Su Xiaofan at this moment.
Stab it!
At almost the moment when the sound sounded, there was a long black sword. At this moment, it was like a bolt of lightning, directly piercing the clothes behind Su Xiaofan.
quick!
The owner of that sword seemed to have been holding back for a long time. At this moment, the sword suddenly exploded, and almost everyone did not react at all.
“Boss…”
The Black Tiger Demon King was behind, and when he saw this scene immediately, his expression changed drastically.
Almost subconsciously, it wanted to use its claws to catch the figure holding the sword.
However, the Black Tiger Demon King was very fast, and the figure who stabbed behind Su Xiaofan with his sword was even faster. The black sword broke through the air and had already torn Su Xiaofan's clothes.
The place where the black sword struck was also Su Xiaofan's back.
The sword fell, extremely cruel!
“Kill that person?”
“Zhang Feng?”
唰! Uh-huh!
The group of people following behind suddenly raised their heads at this moment. Some of them immediately recognized the figure with the sword drawn out.
Some people even called out his name directly.
The person who drew the sword was clearly a middle-aged man, the same middle-aged man who seemed to have had a half-hearted mental breakdown on the road before and kept squeezing past the demon kings.
It’s just that the demon kings didn’t give him a chance to squeeze in. He stayed on the outside and didn’t force his way in.
His face always had a look of extreme anxiety and collapse.
None of the demon kings were thinking about assassination!
After all, who wants to take action in a place like this? During the day, no battle dares to happen easily. At this time and in this place, who would dare to do it easily?
The middle-aged man's move exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
“That young man is going to die? A full-scale sneak attack?”
Among the crowd at the back, there were old men who saw that the sword had pierced Su Xiaofan's clothes at the back of his heart. An idea was calculated in their minds almost instantly.
quick!
That middle-aged man’s speed, timing, and strength when drawing his sword were all extremely fast.
He even used a weird assassination technique at that moment!
“You, die!”
The middle-aged man, at the moment he roared, his face showed a trace of ferocity and excitement!
Solve the battle in one second!
Kill in one second!
The assassination that has the best chance of success is to kill at the most unlikely moment. Before he was sucked in by the black hole, he was a terrifying monk in a big world with assassination as his specialty!
However, he did not expect that one day he would be able to display his true secret skills again in a place like this, in a purely physical way without spiritual thoughts.
At a certain level, it is very difficult to assassinate someone with the consciousness to scan the surroundings. Even at the level of the Golden Immortal, assassination has become almost useless.
Unless you can find a technique that can control your breath to the extreme.
He obviously didn't find that kind of skill before he came here, and he hadn't really used the assassination skill for a long time!
At this time, he stabbed down with his sword. He looked at Su Xiaofan as if he was looking at a dead person!
Click!
He roared and exploded, and the long sword in his hand was completely thrust forward!
The demon kings and the people behind them, including Hong Feng and Hong Yuan, suddenly saw at this moment that the long sword penetrated Su Xiaofan's chest!
"Roar!"
On the main road, at that moment, the air seemed to be quiet.
But the excitement on the face of the middle-aged man who was stabbed by the sword suddenly froze after the sword was thrust out!
The next moment!
He seemed to feel something, and he roared suddenly. His face changed drastically, and his body wanted to retreat crazily into the darkness behind him!
Buzz!
But he stepped back, and in mid-air, a red light that made people's hearts tremble suddenly appeared.
That ray of red light struck directly towards his head!
His sword just now was faster, this red light is even faster!
“No, not dead?”
"Impossible, did he escape? Was he already prepared? Zhang Feng's sword missed the target? How is this possible? Zhang Feng's cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Golden Immortal.
He used the assassination technique. In this situation, he exploded with all his strength. How could the young man dodge?
Does he still have the energy to guard against the people behind him? "
The dozens of figures walking out of the hall could see more clearly than Hong Feng. They had already seen the knife that Su Xiaofan had slashed when he turned around.
"Roar!"
Zhang Feng saw that he could no longer escape, so he forcibly blocked his long black sword in front of himself.
He roared, and the secret technique in his body exploded. He forcibly cultivated his body to the level of the late Golden Immortal, and the shock in his eyes also exploded.
He just took action, and his attack, at that moment, could directly severely damage the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal.
During the day, those who are above the Golden Immortal level do not dare to take action. During the night, those who are above the Golden Immortal level are even more afraid to take action.
He has been pretending to be sick and weak these years. In fact, he is confident that at the right time, he will launch a surprise attack and kill most of the powerful people in the ancient city!
But now, at this moment of life and death, he failed?
While he was retreating violently, he felt helpless.
哐丁!
A lot of things flashed through his mind, and Su Xiaofan's knife directly and terrifyingly hit his long black sword.
Zhang Feng's expression suddenly changed horribly again. He felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from that knife!
This feeling of oppression made him feel like he wanted to vomit blood.
Bang!
…
That knife pressed against the sword in his hand, and then hit his sternum hard. All the bones in his body were horribly broken in the terrifying impact!
His eyes widened suddenly, and a pool of bright red blood spewed out from his mouth!
His body hit the ground of this ghost town directly and hard!
The ground of the ghost city is paved with a special kind of bluestone. This kind of bluestone is extremely strong and can even withstand a full blow from the immortal.
But at this moment, Zhang Feng's body fell down, and there were even traces of cracks on the ground.
A lot of the bones in his body were broken again at this moment!
His whole body seemed to have been flattened, and bright red blood splashed unbridled on the ground!
"you you…"
Zhang Feng screamed, and the long black sword in his hand fell to the ground. His eyes looked at Su Xiaofan, and his eyes widened in horror!
“Okay, so strong!”
"Cut Zhang Feng with one sword? What state is he in? The peak of the Golden Immortal? No, even Hong Feng might not have been able to escape that blow just now. How on earth did he escape?"
Among the group of people at the rear, some people saw this scene, and their eyes could not help but glazed over with horror.
Many people in the ancient palace had never seen the battle between Su Xiaofan and Hong Feng before. Su Xiaofan's crazy and terrifying attack at this moment shocked many people!
“You human being, what are you doing?”
“Our boss took you to find a safe place, but you actually dare to attack and kill our boss?”
The Buffalo Demon King also came back to his senses. At this time, it was not amazed at Su Xiaofan's power because it was more terrifying than Su Xiaofan. It was just a little confused as to why this person dared to kill Su Xiaofan at this time!
“He wants to rob what is in his hands!”
“Especially, that lamp.”
Hong Feng seemed to understand something when he saw this scene. He looked at Zhang Feng lying on the ground and suddenly shook his head.
Hong Feng obviously understood Zhang Feng's thoughts, but after seeing through it, Hong Feng's eyes couldn't help but reveal some ridicule.
Even he was no match for Su Xiaofan. Zhang Feng, who was in the middle stage of Golden Immortal in front of him, actually dared to kill Su Xiaofan?
but!
Hong Feng looked at Su Xiaofan again, and his eyes became more solemn silently.
He had a vague feeling that Su Xiaofan didn’t try his best when fighting him before!
"Walk!"
Many people's eyes were on Su Xiaofan in this dark street. Su Xiaofan glanced at the darkness and suddenly spoke!
“Something weird has appeared?”
When Hong Feng saw Su Xiaofan speaking like this, his expression suddenly changed.
“I’ll lead the way!”
Hong Feng has been able to survive until now in such an arrogant situation, which naturally has his advantages and specialties. He spoke to himself, and at this moment, he seemed to have thought of a lot of things.
He turned around directly, walked towards the front of the ancient city streets, and continued walking quickly.
The Buffalo Demon King originally wanted to say something, but when it saw Su Xiaofan's face suddenly became stern, it clearly felt something was wrong.
Along the way, including more than 130 years ago, it had never seen such a solemn look on Su Xiaofan's face.
It also handed the cold candle in its hand to Su Xiaofan.
At the moment when Su Xiaofan was fighting, he handed the candle into its hand!
“Is there something approaching?”
Su Xiaofan looked at the candle handed over by the Buffalo Demon King.
Before, when the headless man passed by, Su Xiaofan clearly noticed that the candlelight suddenly increased.
Now, the battle has just ended, and the flame of this ghost-hand candle has also surged. In fact, the flame on this candle has surged even more than when the headless man passed by before!
The ghost-hand candle, the blood-colored wax oil in the candlestick, is also rapidly consumed at a speed visible to the naked eye!
The battle attracted the thing in the dark?
Is this thing even more terrifying than the headless man I met on the road before?
Many thoughts flashed through Su Xiaofan's mind instantly. At the same time, Su Xiaofan's body became extremely tense.
Hurrah!
At this moment, among the demon kings, standing at the back was a mutated black rat demon king. When Su Xiaofan walked forward quickly, its claws quickly swept over Zhang Feng's body.
The things on Zhang Feng's body also fell on the body of the mutant black rat demon king after its claws swept over it.
“What happened? Why did he leave in such a hurry?”
“Is he really that powerful?”
Behind the team, among the people who came out of the ancient palace, many were still in the shock of Su Xiaofan killing Zhang Feng with one move. Some people looked at the mutant rat king and what they had found from Zhang Feng. .
Many of them still haven’t figured out why Su Xiaofan suddenly accelerated.
Plop!
They opened their mouths, but in front of them, a fat middle-aged woman who had just subconsciously wanted to search for Zhang Feng's body at the same time as the mutant rat king suddenly fell to the ground.
Her heavy body fell directly in front of the mutant rat king.
The mutated rat king who had just finished searching the body froze for a moment. He was almost frightened and threw away everything he found.
died?
How did you die?
The Mutated Rat King went to search Zhang Feng’s body simply because it had almost developed an instinct to search for dead people when it saw them.
Under the heavy blow from Su Xiaofan, Zhang Feng's bones, flesh and bones were almost all shattered and exploded. In the end, he just roared twice and closed his eyes in endless fear and shock.
At that time, Su Xiaofan had no intention of searching for corpses.
The Mutated Rat King, when faced with such an opportunity, acted out of instinct and had no intention of letting it go. It took action out of instinct.
Su Xiaofan turned his head silently when he saw someone falling!
However, Su Xiaofan's footsteps did not stop at all.
Su Xiaofan didn't even check to see what characteristics the dead man had.
Su Xiaofan glanced at it and even quickened his pace.
The oil lamp in Su Xiaofan's hand suddenly became brighter at this moment!
Su Xiaofan even saw that in this battle ghost's oil lamp, almost a quarter of the oil in it had been used up in just one breath.
This oil lamp, before I took it away, the old lady sitting on the chair had just added oil!
Su Xiaofan just smelled the smell of corpse oil from the lamp oil. Su Xiaofan was not sure what the lamp oil was.
“Hurry up.”
Su Xiaofan's body was tense to the extreme. Su Xiaofan urged Hong Feng. At the same time, Su Xiaofan looked directly at the bronze head: "What is following here? What is its killing pattern?"
Su Xiaofan spoke. This time, he also used sound transmission.
Although Su Xiaofan cannot use his spiritual thoughts and cultivation to transmit sounds, Su Xiaofan can use his body and secret techniques to transmit sounds through his mouth. This is a secret technique created by warriors in this world to activate their blood and energy.
Based on this secret technique, I made a small change. In the body, I directly use blood to imitate the vibration of blood energy, which can also achieve the same effect.
"My name is Su Xiaofan. When you hear this sentence, I will be dead."
“Now, I am being targeted by an extremely terrifying thing. I feel that if I don’t make some preparations, I may die.
Now, I have thought of a way to solve the current crisis. I only need to pour one-third of my blood into the bronze head, and I can learn the rules of this thing that is coming. "
The bronze head responded, its voice still cold, as if it had no emotion at all.
One third of blood?
Su Xiaofan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard the condition of Bronze Head!
Su Xiaofan did not speak again. Su Xiaofan glanced around and held the bronze head firmly with his hand. Su Xiaofan naturally did not pour his own blood into the bronze head.
With one third of his blood, he won’t die, but his vitality will definitely be severely damaged.
Every drop of essence and blood in one's body is extremely precious.
Previously, in front of the gate, in order to take away the bronze head, I had poured one-seventh of the blood into the bronze head. Now, it still wants its own blood?
It has indeed not told lies so far.
Unfortunately, sometimes after thinking deeply, Su Xiaofan feels a feeling that makes Su Xiaofan feel extremely frightened after thinking about it!
“We’re almost there, just after passing this intersection.”
Hong Feng saw that Su Xiaofan kept accelerating. He was walking in the front, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't know what happened, and he didn't feel any changes in the darkness around him.
But Su Xiaofan didn't say a word, which obviously put enough pressure on him.
“This candle is suppressing, is that thing waiting for an opportunity?”
Su Xiaofan glanced around, thoughts flashing through his mind quickly.
The candle in his hand has less than half of the oil burned. The light is four times larger than its original state, but the area illuminated by the light only remains within a radius of less than four meters.
At this time, not only Su Xiaofan, but also the monsters and the people following from the ancient palace also noticed the abnormality in the lights!
“Auntie, why do we have to follow him?”
"He just fought, and before that, he took away the ghost candle in the main hall, and he also killed the ghost slave Zhou Zheng at the door. He must have been targeted by something weird."
"I, can we leave him? Can we choose a path by ourselves and find another nearest refuge point?"
The girl about the age of a college student stood behind a dignified middle-aged woman. Her body was obviously tense.
She had also ridiculed Su Xiaofan from the moral high ground before in the main hall.
She was not very willing to follow him.
“You are scared, but you have to forget your fear. In this city, the probability of people getting together is far greater than the probability of being alone.
That young man is very strong, but he has the capital to be strong. Following him, the probability of death is the smallest among all our current choices.
You need to wake up, our goal is to survive. "
The middle-aged woman next to the girl always seemed to maintain the calmest attitude. She asked the girl to follow her, while her eyes were fixed on Su Xiaofan's every move.
“You have brought a burden.” An old man beside the dignified middle-aged woman suddenly spoke.
“Who are you calling a burden?” The college student-looking woman immediately glared at the old man upon hearing this.
The old man did not speak. He continued to move forward. The aura on his body also quickly converged to an extreme at this time. He seemed not to waste any more time on the girl!
Ahead!
Su Xiaofan and Hong Feng's speed was almost like running. Su Xiaofan used his bronze head to block the candle in front of him to prevent the wind from blowing out the candle. Su Xiaofan's eyes were looking forward at this time.
Gucheng Street, on the east side of the first intersection, you can vaguely see a dark four-story building standing in front of it.
At the four corners of the small building, four bright red lanterns hang.
Su Xiaofan looked at the lanterns and thought of the two lanterns he saw in front of the ancient house when he was carrying the sedan chair.
Su Xiaofan had a vague feeling that the lanterns hanging at the four corners of this four-story building were somewhat similar to the two lanterns in the ancient house.
"arrive!"
"After this intersection, we will reach the brothel in the ancient city. As long as we enter the brothel, it should be safe. As long as we get through tonight and prepare in advance, the risk will be much less."
Hong Feng's body had been tense all the time. He looked at the small building in front of him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Plop!
But at this moment, from behind, among the group of people following from the ancient palace, a body suddenly fell to the ground again!
Another person died!
“Gu!”
Among the group of people at the back, the fear in the eyes of the girl who looked like a college student was almost overflowing.
“Don’t be afraid, we’re here!”
“As long as we enter this abandoned brothel, we should be safe.”
The middle-aged and dignified lady firmly held the girl's hand.
唰!
Hong Feng was walking at the front, and he had accelerated again.
He had suddenly crossed the intersection and rushed to the front of the Zhulou.
Dingling bell…
At this time, he did not say that he had no copper coins on him. He took out three copper coins directly from his body. He gave three to Hong Yuan behind him, and threw the three directly into the seed in front of the brothel. In a large tank with hydroponic lotus flowers.
Zhiah!
The door of this Zhulou opened automatically as he put money in!
The door of this four-story brothel is opened, and you can see from the outside that a soft light is emitting from inside!
Light, showing slightly yellowish color.
Comparing with the cold and terrifying darkness outside, the warm yellowish light in the brothel on the first floor is almost like a flame in the cold darkness.
It's like, a feeling of peace of mind.
Furthermore, at a glance, one can see that in the lighted hall, there is a young man dressed like a servant who is cleaning the hall.
唰! Uh-huh!
The group of people in the ancient palace who had been following the team, there were several figures among them. After seeing the scene in the brothel, their bodies immediately rioted.
Almost at sprinting speed, they each threw three copper coins into the fish tank with lotus flowers at the door, and then they rushed directly into the hall.
When Hong Feng stepped into the door, five figures followed him almost immediately and rushed in!
"Wait a moment!"
Su Xiaofan suddenly spoke at this moment.
Su Xiaofan's figure, at this moment, instead of advancing, took a step back!
In Su Xiaofan's book, the moment the ghost-hand candle approached the first floor, the flame on the candle suddenly grew stronger than before!
…
At the same time, deep in the ancient city.
“Brother, why don’t you come here?”
“Grandpa’s aura was lost from here. Aren’t you going to help me find my grandpa? Well, have you seen my grandpa?”
The little girl holding the candied haws in her hand seemed to feel something. She looked far away in the direction of the brothel in the city, with a blank expression in her eyes.
And in front of her, there was a dark coffin, blocking her way!
There is a lamp hanging in the corner of the coffin. There is a face painted on the lamp that looks like a smile but not a smile, and a face that looks like a cry but not a cry!
The wind blew by, and the lamp in the corner of the coffin swayed in the wind!
“Are you sure you can kill her?”
In the depths of the darkness, there were two figures. At this moment, their eyes were suddenly looking at the little girl. In the eyes of one of them, there was a terrifying murderous intention, which was silently surging!
