Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 63 The culprit (5)
An Xingmian felt Xue Huaiqing's soft hair brush against the back of her neck, then she lowered her head and kissed An Xingmian lightly on the cheek.An Xingmian couldn't help but her heart fluttered, but suddenly, a slight tingling pain appeared on her cheek, as if being pierced by a very thin needle.He was wondering, and then felt as if a tiny trickle pierced in from the stinging part, and quickly swam through his whole body.

"You have to live on," Xue Huaiqing said to An Xingmian, "No matter what, live on."

As soon as the words fell, An Xingmian felt that his limbs began to have a strange reaction, and a force that came from nowhere began to drive his limbs to move.He tore off the rope that had already been untied in his hand at once, and stood up.

The old man didn't expect An Xingmian to stand up, and he frowned slightly, but he didn't panic.He knew An Xingmian's strength well, and knew that even if An Xingmian was not poisoned at all, he would not be his opponent.An Xingmian, on the other hand, was extremely surprised, not understanding why she moved by herself inexplicably.But soon, he realized: this is Xue Huaiqing's corpse dance technique!
He recalled that when he was in the Illusion Forest, he disguised himself as Xue Huaiqing's corpse servant and sneaked into the corpse dancer workshop, but Xue Huaiqing was worried that others would see it. To be on the safe side, Xue Huaiqing added a little In addition to the "smell" of the corpse, she also infused her spiritual power into her body, which is the basis for the corpse dancer to drive the corpse servant.

Not long ago, when she was mentally disturbed due to extreme anger, it was Xue Huaiqing who used the mental power left in her body to help her calm down.And now, with the help of the kiss just now, she sent the poison to control the corpse servant into her body through the needle, and she was going to use the corpse dance technique to direct An Xingmian's body to fight!

Indeed, at this moment, I am afraid that only the Corpse Dance can work.One of the strengths of the corpse dance technique is that it can increase the strength of a body a lot, so the corpse servants brought by the corpse dancer often have strong combat effectiveness.Right now, An Xingmian's whole body is limp and weak under the influence of the poison, but with the stimulation of the Corpse Dance, this effect is offset.What's more, An Xingmian's strength and speed are only stronger than usual.

What he didn't know was that using the corpse dance technique to drive the living would double consume Xue Huaiqing's energy, because she not only needed to control An Xingmian's body to fight, but also had to fight with An Xingmian's own spirit all the time Powers counterbalance—there is no spiritual power in a dead body, but there is in a living person.She originally wanted to summon her own corpse servant, but the distance was too far, and she couldn't control the corpse servant to find its way at all. The only way now is to call An Xingmian as a corpse servant, although the other party's mental power is constantly fighting back, making her His brain was in excruciating pain as if it was about to burst.

But Xue Huaiqing still held back, she pursed her lips, said nothing, and concentrated on urging An Xingmian.After An Xingmian stood up, he stood there for a while, as if he was gaining momentum, and then suddenly, he rushed towards the old man and punched the old man directly in the face.The old man didn't seem to be moving at all. He moved his feet lightly and dodged the punch. At the same time, the purple flame in his hand swung out and entwined towards An Xingmian.An Xingmian lowered his head to dodge it, before he could turn around, he pushed his left elbow backwards and hit the old man's ribs.The old man had no choice but to dodge again, and the flame also missed.

Bai Qianyun watched the battle nervously, hating himself for being weak, otherwise, even if he was tied up with a rope, he would rush over and hit his head and bite his teeth, determined to kill this damn old man.After the two sides exchanged a few rounds, he also noticed that An Xingmian was originally good at small and flexible joint techniques, but now he played his favorite hard punching style, but this kind of fighting style is not suitable for An Xingmian. With Xing Mian's physique, he couldn't fully display the power of this boxing technique.But he quickly figured it out, Xue Huaiqing's corpse dance technique is not omnipotent, it is impossible to use joint techniques she is not familiar with, so she can only use her usual techniques.Fortunately, with the bonus of Corpse Dance, An Xingmian's strength has also increased greatly, and every punch is full of power and momentum.

Xue Huaiqing has put all her strength into the corpse dance.With her original strength, even if she controls five corpse servants, she is not the old man's opponent, but at this moment, An Xingmian is being driven, but there seems to be infinite power surging in her body, and An Xingmian's body and her spirit It has also achieved a wonderful fit, so that it can exert extraordinary power.Before she knew it, blood was bleeding from her mouth and nose, and it seemed that a sharp awl was constantly chiseling in her head, but she was worried that An Xingmian would be distracted, so she kept holding it back forcibly, and she didn't even hum. One sound.

An Xingmian also knew that the lives of the four people depended entirely on him alone, so he kept suppressing his mental strength forcibly, and chose to let Xue Huaiqing completely control his body.This is a very difficult situation, because he can't predict Xue Huaiqing's actions. Whenever he encounters danger, he can't help but want to control his body to dodge by himself, but in the end, he suppressed this impulse and completely put I became a marionette, fully controlled by Xue Huaiqing.

trust.This is a kind of trust, unconditional trust, trust of life and death.An Xingmian no longer cared about the outcome of this battle, he just kept reminding himself over and over in his mind: I am dead, I am a corpse servant, I do not have any ability to act independently, Xue Huaiqing pointed to Wherever I go, I have to fight there.

This over and over again silent recitation is like a curse, gradually making his resistance will become lower and lower, and finally reached the point of no resistance at all, no matter how dangerous the attack in front of him is, he believes that Xue Huai Qing can help him avoid it.He felt that he had really become a puppet, and Xue Huaiqing was the puppeteer who pulled the thread. His body danced and flew with Xue Huaiqing's soul, as if their souls had merged into one.

The old man began to breathe.Although his secret technique is powerful, the evil power of the corpse dance technique has greatly narrowed the huge gap between An Xingmian and him, making the two barely able to fight on a similar level, which he had never thought of before.And An Xingmian was much younger than him, but had an advantage in physical strength.He could only change the secret technique again and again, trying to make An Xingmian unable to react in time.

However, he overlooked one point, that is, An Xingmian didn't need to react by himself.And Xue Huaiqing didn't even have to open his eyes to see, he could make a judgment based on the flow of the old man's mental power. Under Xue Huaiqing's control, An Xingmian avoided his secret attacks again and again with superhuman agility. Containing him with a stormy attack made him have to use footwork to dodge all the time, which also affected his attack power in secret techniques.

"The blood of young people," he was able to sigh in spite of his busy schedule, "after all, I underestimated you and the power of the corpse dance. It seems that I can only lose some more life span .”

Following these words, An Xingmian suddenly found that the pressure on him had greatly increased, as if an invisible force had transformed into a hard entity and began to squeeze him, making him unable to even stand still.He hurriedly shouted: "His strength has increased! Be careful!"

Needless to say, An Xingmian, Xue Huaiqing could also feel that the old man's mental power surged like a surging tide. Even Tang He, who didn't know martial arts or secret arts, felt a huge pressure coming.Suddenly, the old man rolled up his long sleeves, and the air in front of An Xingmian instantly formed a whirlwind, sweeping him into it.After all, Xue Huaiqing's reaction was a step slow, unable to keep up with this invisible and colorless secret technique, seeing An Xingmian's body being thrown high, like a weightless feather, making a strange gesture in the air A few tumbled and were thrown hard against the wall. After a loud "bang", An Xingmian fell to the ground, his right wrist twisted strangely.He has always been accustomed to using joint techniques to dislodge his opponent's joints, but this time, he was finally thrown and dislocated.

At the same time, Xue Huaiqing finally couldn't hold on anymore, her head drooped limply, and her body slowly fell against the wall, falling into a coma.The power of the Corpse Dance technique disappeared. Even if An Xingmian wanted to fight with one hand while being injured, he had no strength to stand up at all.The only thing he could do was to use his left hand to move to the wall and hold Xue Huaiqing in his arms.

"That's how it ended," he sighed, "but at least you and I were together when we walked through the last door in our lives."

He hugged Xue Huaiqing tightly, closed his eyes, and still had a smile on his mouth.

At this time, he heard a "gudong" in front of him, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Qianyun fell at the old man's feet.He suddenly understood that even if he was exhausted after being poisoned, even if he was tightly bound, Bai Qianyun would never give in.At the last moment before he died, he tried his best to hit the old man with his body.Of course, this collision is impossible to have any results, but this is Bai Qianyun, the Bai Qianyun who will never give up resistance even if the possibility is zero.

"Brave but not resourceful, if you become the emperor, you will definitely not be as good as the Hongjing Emperor today." The old man shook his head slightly.

"Bah! Fuck your mother!" Bai Qianyun scolded viciously, "First, I am myself. It doesn't matter to me whether the emperor is an emperor or not! Second, if the country is destroyed and the city is destroyed, an emperor is not Taking up the sword to call on the people to resist, but bowing their knees and waiting to die, he is not worthy of being an emperor!"

"Your words are beginning to look a bit regal," the old man said appreciatively, "It's a pity that the god of fate has not favored you, but life is like the bright moon in the sky, there are always ups and downs, and it is difficult to be perfect. At least before you die, you know your life experience, know that you are of royal blood, and you can close your eyes with peace of mind."

"I don't want to close my eyes with peace of mind!" Bai Qianyun's eyes were bloodshot, "I don't care about the royal blood or the emperor's father! I don't believe in the destiny, I don't believe in the will of any god, I only believe in my own fist. After you have crushed every bone in my body, come tell me to rest assured!"

He suddenly jumped up and slammed into the old man again.The old man dodged away briskly, but suddenly, his body shook, and blood slowly flowed from his shoulder.

How is this going?Could it be that Bai Qianyun is actually a hidden magician who cast a secret technique to assassinate the old man at that moment?But it didn't look like much at first glance, because Bai Qianyun himself opened his mouth wide, a little at a loss.

However, when everyone was at a loss, the movable stone slab on the top of the stone room was suddenly lifted, and several figures jumped in.An Xingmian did not know the first two people, but he recognized the third person immediately.

That was Luo Xue, the head monk whom we met a few days ago!

"It seems that I'm not too late." Luo Xue slowly took off the scabbard at his waist and pulled out the knife.The blade of this knife is long and thin, and the blade is extremely thin. The strangest thing is that the whole body reveals a dark red color, as if it was stained red by fresh blood.

"Senior Luo, you can really surprise people!" An Xingmian exclaimed with joy.

Luo Xue didn't answer, but facing the old man, raised the bloody long knife: "I heard what you just said very clearly. In the past, I sealed the knife for Nagato. Today, I sealed it for Nagato. And draw the knife."

An Xingmian began to understand why this underground stone room is so huge. Only such a huge space is suitable for the master of the noodle maker to study and practice his secret techniques here.But right now, this huge space is an equal opportunity for both parties.The narrow space may make it difficult for a mystic to avoid the opponent's lightning attack, but it may also make a samurai caught off guard and directly knocked down by a mystic.But now, Luo Xue was standing opposite this unknown old man, and neither of them acted rashly. To the old man, the few companions standing beside Luo Xue were also a great threat.Just now, it was one of them who attacked the old man through the air with a secret technique, causing the latter's shoulder to be injured.

"There are six of my disciples guarding the outside of this stone room," said the old man, "I don't want to boast, but with their strength, six of them are enough to resist hundreds of people, but you... knocked them down?"

"Changmen monks never easily hurt people," said an unremarkable little man behind Luo Xue, "but for you, for your helpers, we are willing to make an exception."

He waved his hand violently, and a bolt of lightning struck the old man's head. The old man swung his right hand lightly, forming an ice shield to defuse the attack, but his body was also shaken by this, and the blood on his shoulder began to gush out again.

"It's such a powerful secret art of splitting chapters," the old man's face remained unchanged, "I didn't expect that there are so many crouching tiger, hidden dragon masters in Nagato."

"You think people in Nagato are not good at martial arts, just because Nagato has never fought with people for thousands of years," said the little man, "but if someone wants to destroy our belief, we will not be so pedantic as to sit still and wait for death." .”

"You will see Nagato monks in us that you have never seen before," said a middle-aged woman next to the little man. "Nagato is not a wolf, but he can't be a sheep either."

With a flick of her finger, a shining trace was drawn in the air, and the old man drew a circle with his right hand, using the air as a shield to block the curse, and his body shook again, which shows that this mediocre woman is also quite powerful in secret arts.The old man's face was a little gloomy, but he still didn't look flustered.

"Can you tell me, how did you find this place?" The old man asked unhurriedly, "Even if the Yuren who I defeated and escaped is still alive, I don't think he has the ability to track me down. But now It seems that I still underestimated him. It is not surprising that he asked you for help, but why are you still following here?"

"Well, you don't need to study it carefully, and there is no need," Luo Xue shook his head, "Let's settle the debt quickly, the debt you owe Nagato must be paid today."

An Xingmian fell into deep thought.From the dialogue between the two sides, it can be heard that although Feng Qiuke was defeated, he did not die. This is of course a good thing; secondly, it is not surprising that Feng Qiuke found Luo Xue. The meeting between Luo Xue and himself.

But what is interesting is that this time it seems that Feng Qiuke accurately provided his whereabouts again.The old man thinks that Feng Qiuke followed him in some unique way, which is wrong, what Feng Qiuke followed was himself.But he was obviously seriously injured and it was impossible to follow him anymore, so why could he provide the exact location of this place so that Luo Xue and others could find him?

Could it be that there is something special about me that Feng Qiuke can sense?An Xingmian guessed, but quickly ordered herself to stop irrelevant thoughts.There are more important things to pay attention to right now, such as asking Feng Qiuke or something, can be discussed later.

"Debt collection proves your courage, but whether you can collect the debt depends on your strength." The old man said calmly.

"One-on-one, you may be able to beat each of us, but if we work together, I'm afraid you have no chance of winning," Luo Xue said, "We are just long monks, not warriors in the market, and there are no rules to follow. We can only kill those who want to destroy Nagato's faith."

"It's really not too difficult for you to kill me," the old man smiled slightly, "but I'm not afraid of your killing, because if I lose to you, it just proves that I am a mortal, and the power of mortals sometimes But, if you are facing the power of God, can you still make me submit?"

"Stop joking!" Luo Xue smiled contemptuously, "Are you trying to tell me that you are the incarnation of God?"

"Of course not, how can I be worthy?" The old man's answer sounded pious, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "God is so great, so high, he controls everything in the world with his hands, and I can't even be his servant." They don't even deserve it."
