Chapter 122 Ghost Ship (3)
"I don't have to deny it," said the figure in the ice cube, "but I don't have to talk to you about this topic anymore. Obviously Cangyinzhiyue and Saxigaro have fallen into your hands, but you put them It must be a conspiracy to send it to my door, so you might as well tell me what you want."

"What I want is not the same as what you want, but it happens to be related to these two magical artifacts," Xu Mizi said, "You want to possess these two magical artifacts, but the Cangyin Moon is okay, Sa Xijia Luo is not so easy to get, and you must already know the details of this."

"Yes, Saxigaro needs to be fed by the lives of living people. This is indeed a headache," said the figure in the ice cube, "but I will find a way to solve it."

Xu Mizi nodded: "Very good, this is more to my liking. After thinking about it, there are countless people with vain names in the mainland of Kyushu, but you may be one of the rare ones who are a little real, so I came to you , I hope to make a fair bet with you."

"What bet? And how did you know my strength?" Yuren asked.

Xumizi smiled slightly, and unabashedly recounted the experience of overhearing the song of death at sea. Although An Xingmian and the others knew that he had met a mermaid at sea before, he could manipulate more monsters than him. Corpse servant, but this is also the first time I heard him talk about the details.Mr. Yuwen sighed: "So that's how you learned about his existence. The young man on the deck is me. It was the first time I went to sea to deliver his dead body. Life is really a coincidence. Where is it?" We don't meet each other."

The shark's voice also sounded a little surprised: "It turns out that there was another incident, and I didn't find that there were any living people on board. Then what do you want to bet with me?"

"We are all corpse dancers. Of course, we will use corpse dance to decide the outcome. If you win, Cangyinzhiyue and Saxigaro will be yours. I will not entangle you any more. You can seek your eternal life with peace of mind." , "Xu Mizi said, "If I win, these two artifacts will still belong to you."

"What?" An Xingmian and the others exclaimed in unison.For them, the time of knowing Xumizi may be long or short, but they all know that Xumizi is a person who only wants to take advantage of it and is determined not to suffer.Now he can make a condition that no matter whether he wins or loses, he must give up two magic weapons, which is too unbelievable.

"I would rather believe that the sun rises from the west." An Xingmian murmured.

The merman was also silent for a long time, as if he was speculating on Sumeru's intentions, and asked after a long time: "If I lose, obviously you won't give it for nothing, there will always be additional conditions."

"Of course," Xumizi said, "if you lose, I want you to do something for me, which is within your ability. But I will tell you the specifics after the competition is over." .”

Only then did everyone understand that Xu Mizi gave the two magic weapons he got to this Merman, who was not related to him, but to some extent a competitor, in order to ask the Merman to do something.But this person's temper is also weird enough. He obviously wanted to ask someone to do something, but he refused to say "begging" to death, but made this gambling stunt.

"Is there anything for Xu Mizi to ask for help?" Xue Huaiqing asked softly.

"And it's the price of giving up two magic weapons," An Xingmian said. "So many people fought for these two treasures, but they seemed to be just two stepping stones to him. What he thought There must be some great secret hidden in the door to knock on."

"So he is actually quite suitable to be a long door monk," Xue Huaiqing smirked, "It's just that you pass through one door after another passively, but he actively looks for it, so he is better than you. "

"It's obvious." An Xingmian shrugged.

The merman fell silent again.Xumizi's proposal is undoubtedly very tempting, because whether he wins or loses, Cangyin Zhiyue and Saxigaro will fall into his hands, but he also has the risk of losing after all, and if he fails, God knows what Xumizi will propose problem.You must know that in this world, there are probably not many things Xu Mizi can't do, and now even he needs help from others, even if it is "within your ability" as he said, I'm afraid it will take a few layers of skin to be completed.

As if to tempt the merman, Xumizi took out the Cangyinzhiyue and held it in his hand as a gesture of appreciation.Xue Huaiqing couldn't help laughing out at this childish action, but to Yuren, it made him even more determined.Although his body was frozen in the ice, people outside the ice seemed to be able to feel his scorching eyes focus on the Cangyin Moon through the ice.

"I accept this bet." Finally he said.

When it comes to the scene where corpse dancers compete in corpse dance, An Xingmian can evoke many memories at once.More than a year ago, he and Xue Huaiqing met for the first time because of a conference where corpse dancers competed in martial arts. Fly, even fight with your life.Before and after this conference, he also saw many strange fighting methods unique to corpse dancers.

For example, in the first battle between corpse dancers he saw, the two corpse dancers each commanded the corpse servants to stand in the muddy water of the swamp as human stakes, and then each side manipulated a corpse servant to step on the feet of other companions. In the battle above the head, the corpse servant on the top is knocked down by the human stake to lose; the human stake is submerged before the top of the head is also considered to lose.This kind of competition not only tests the ability to control the kung fu of fists and kicks, but also tests the control of the weight of the steps. It is indeed ingenious and unforgettable.

Some of the subsequent fights were even more tragic, and the use of the corpse servants was also varied, especially those who completely used the corpse servants as self-destructive tools, all for the sake of winning at all costs.However, for An Xingmian, the biggest regret is that he has not yet seen the real confrontation between the top corpse dancers - because there is only one top corpse dancer in the world, named Xu Mizi.

And now, there is finally a corpse dancer who can compete with Xu Mizi, and may even be stronger than him. Always feel short of breath.He turned his head to look at the others, Xue Huaiqing could no longer hold back his excited expression, and Mr. Yuwen's expression was more complicated.Of course, he would not think that witnessing such a big battle was a bad thing, but since entering the tower, the merman has been talking to Xu Mizi all the time, and has no time to take care of him, and naturally there is no way to talk about the lifting of the contract spell.

"Although I always curse you in my heart, you'd better not die," Mr. Yuwen said to himself in a low voice, "otherwise I will have to be buried with you."

An Xingmian was guessing what method the two would use to compete. Xu Mizi had already turned around and walked out of the tower first, followed by his corpse servants.A group of people hurried out with them.

A large space was quickly vacated on the deck, leaving only a corpse servant of Xu Mizi and a corpse servant of Yuren, and a row of weapon racks next to them.Xumizi’s corpse servant is a feathered man, but his body is thinner than ordinary feathered people’s. His arms are as thin as a reed stick. It doesn't look muscular either, but it looks much stronger.

"Two wins in three rounds, the first round is a one-on-one martial arts competition." Xu Mizi said, as if to reconfirm the rules, and also seemed to explain to the few lucky bystanders around.

What's so great about it?An Xingmian was slightly disappointed, but it was just a sparring fight between a corpse servant.Such a one-on-one corpse servant has been seen countless times at the Corpse Dancer Conference the year before last.But Xue Huaiqing obviously didn't think so.She stared at these two corpse servants who were not really powerful characters, her eyes were full of excitement and tension.

The two corpse servants, one feather and one barbarian, stood facing each other. They stood there for a whole stick of incense, but they didn't move a bit.Just when An Xingmian was feeling a little impatient, Sumeru's feathered corpse servant suddenly made an attack. It kicked its right foot on the ground, its whole body shot out like an arrow from a string, and its left palm hit the opponent's chest.The merman's barbarian corpse servant was as angry as a mountain, and he swung his fist. The two walking corpses collided with each other, and then separated.

From this round alone, An Xingmian could see the strength of the two corpse dancer masters: the martial arts skills of these two corpse servants were not inferior to those of the living masters in Kyushu.The palm that Yuren slapped seemed to be light and lacking in strength, but it implied at least seven different back moves. As long as you don't handle it properly, you may be fatally hit.However, the barbarian's block took into account all the opponent's back moves, and it was almost the only position that could be safely blocked.

The two corpse servants quickly fought together. The feathered man's movements were light and quick, and his movements were so fast that even An Xingmian couldn't see clearly. There was a feeling of dazzlement; Although he was on the defensive, his defense against every move was impeccable, hardly revealing any flaws.

After a moment of fierce fighting, the two corpse servants clasped their palms, and with a bang, Yuren's body was thrown flying.It turned over in mid-air, landed firmly, pulled out a long spear from the weapon rack beside it, and stabbed the barbarian with it.The barbarian dodged to dodge and snatched a long knife, and the two corpse servants turned from hand-to-hand combat to blade-to-blade clash.

An Xingmian is good at joint techniques and rarely uses weapons, but just because he hasn't eaten pork doesn't mean he hasn't seen pigs running.After Xu Mizi's feathered corpse servant took up the weapon, his martial arts style seemed to be completely changed. The spear was calm and heavy, and each spear seemed to be slow, but there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.On the contrary, the barbarians controlled by the mermaids used the dazzling sharp knife technique. The light of the knife flashed countless white arcs in the air, giving people the illusion that even water could not be poured in.

The two corpse servants met their opponents, and they fought fiercely for less than half the time, and they were still tied.During this period, they have changed their weapons several times, and they can display completely different moves with each different weapon.But they are not living people, but dead bodies without thought or will. Every move of them is controlled by their respective masters through spiritual connection.Many ordinary warriors may not be able to practice a set of kung fu well in their entire lives, but for the two master corpse dancers, the wonderful martial arts are like continuous flowing water, flowing out through the fists and feet of the two corpse servants .

This is the real peak collision, An Xingmian thought, so I still know too little about corpse dancers, even if I go into battle, facing such a powerful corpse servant, I won't be able to resist for long.He thought again, with Xu Mizi's ability, he has been fighting Feng Qiuke for so many years, and Feng Qiuke is worthy of being the number one warrior of the Yu Clan.

Mr. Yuwen's face turned pale, and he sighed in a low voice: "I always thought that the only achievement in my life was to recruit many masters by my side. Now it seems that the word master should not be used casually."

Xu Mizi and the merman's corpse servant switched to countless types of weapons almost in a show of skill, then threw down their weapons again and began to fight with fists and kicks.At this time, the true characteristics of the two corpse servants are revealed little by little.Although the feather man chosen by Xumizi is short and thin, his body's sensitivity and flexibility have reached the peak. Xumizi can control it to make all kinds of unimaginable movements at will. The moves are naturally weird, insidious and changeable.The merman's barbarian corpse servant is just the opposite. It doesn't look very strong, but its muscles and bones are extremely tough.Such a scene reminds people of the Populus euphratica standing against the howling sandstorm in the desert. It is not known whether the strong wind finally broke the big tree, or the big tree is still strong, and the strong wind has no choice but to stop.

An Xingmian watched the situation nervously, and took a moment to glance at the two corpse dancers.Xu Mizi was still the same as usual, with a gloomy and expressionless face, but the disdain for the world that had been hanging on the corners of his mouth and brows in the past had subsided a lot. It seemed that he still recognized the strength of the Merman in his heart.And because the merman put all their attention on the corpse dance, the secret technique used to interfere with the line of sight was greatly weakened, allowing people to see clearly the shape in the ice.For some reason, even though he is a mermaid, his form frozen in the ice is a human form with transformed legs, his body is curled up, and there is a hideous mask on his face, so that people can't see his face .

"I'm afraid Sumizi will lose." Xue Huaiqing said suddenly.

"Why?" An Xingmian was puzzled, "Now he has the upper hand."

"Although a corpse servant doesn't have physical limitations like a living person, it doesn't mean that a corpse can be used indefinitely," Xue Huaiqing said, "Muscles and bones have limits. This feathered corpse is obviously Xumizi's proud work, with his light and weird body skills and endless physical strength, can deal with almost any living person, so he simply trained this corpse servant in this direction, and brought its characteristics to the extreme. I never expected that one day I would really meet an opponent who could withstand that kind of stormy attack."

"You mean, such a tug-of-war will make Xu Mizi's corpse body unable to bear it?" An Xingmian asked.

"I'm not sure, but depending on the situation, the possibility of this is quite high," Xue Huaiqing said, "The corpse servant used by the mermaid has a very special physique. I suspect that he used some deep-sea medicine soaked in it that I have never seen before. However, the muscles and bones are tougher than ordinary walking corpses. Ah, look!"

Without Xue Huaiqing's greeting, An Xingmian could see clearly that Xumizi's feathered corpse servant bent his right hand and grabbed the barbarian's throat, but the barbarian didn't raise his hand this time to defuse it. When it touched the skin, he suddenly lowered his head and opened his mouth to bite Yuren's five fingers.This kind of move, which is almost like a rascal in the market, should only be used by Xu Mizi, but no one expected that this barbarian corpse servant, who has always been known for his simple and powerful moves, would have such a change. Fortunately, Xu Mizi's reaction It was also extremely quick, forcefully manipulating Yuren to bend his elbow and retreat, narrowly avoiding the bite.

However, after this movement was done, there was only a crackling sound, and without being hit, Yuren's right arm was actually broken.Sure enough, as Xue Huaiqing said, after a long period of high-intensity combat, this body couldn't bear it, and the arm bone broke.

The sharks naturally refused to let go of this long-awaited opportunity.Under his control, the barbarian corpse servant took a step forward and punched Yuren's chest with all his strength.At this time, Yuren's body was unstable, and it was too late to dodge. It seemed that the only way was to block a blow with his undamaged left arm.But in this way, the left and right arms will be abolished at the same time, and Xumizi probably has no room to move.

But no one expected that Xu Mizi's corpse servant made a completely unexpected movement.It neither forcibly dodged nor blocked, but instead slammed into the barbarian's fist.With a muffled pop, the barbarian's fist pierced through the chest, directly into Yuren's chest, and then pierced out from the back.

Has the victory been decided?An Xingmian thought about it, but immediately felt that something was wrong. Xu Mizi would definitely not be the kind of person who surrendered easily. Such a seemingly direct death move probably had a deceit behind it.

Sure enough, there were a few strange noises from Yuren's body, it seemed that some changes had taken place in its bones, which caused the barbarian to yank his arm several times, but he couldn't get it out.Immediately afterwards, an obvious black line appeared from the barbarian's arm, and quickly began to move up to the shoulder, and then spread to the whole body, turning into black air permeating the skin.As the black air continued to spread, the barbarian's movements became sluggish and sluggish. After struggling a few times, the skin on his body cracked little by little, and black pus and blood flowed out.
