polar demon

Chapter 19 River Temple ([-])
In Jiang Yuan's room, the woman stared blankly at the long knife piercing her body, as if she hadn't fully understood the scene:
"Why are you treating me like this!"

Jiang Yuan slowly pulled the long knife out of the woman's body, looked at the blade and said:
"There is not a drop of blood, it seems that there is nothing wrong."

"My lord is really smart!" The woman covered her mouth and giggled.

After finishing speaking, the woman's neck suddenly stretched upwards, getting longer and longer like a rubber.

At the back, the neck has grown like a twisting boa constrictor, with the woman's strange head at the top, long black hair hanging down, revealing the woman's green eyes.

"Hee hee hee hee hee!" The woman's voice became sharp and strange, and the two fangs protruding from her mouth kept dripping mucus, "Young master is so courageous, he doesn't seem to be afraid of me."

Jiang Yuan is still sitting on the bed, he has been quietly watching the changes in the woman:
"It turns out that your true self is so ugly! Thank you for reminding me that beauty and ugliness are all subcutaneous bones; there is no difference between appearance and sensuality. From now on, you must not be soft-hearted just because of your beauty!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan slashed the long knife in his hand towards the woman's snake-like neck.

The internal force of madness is attached to the blade, and there is a red-black luster faintly.The blade trembled slightly, and the red-black internal force on it kept swallowing.

This move is exactly the second move in the "Mad Sha Saber Art" - horizontal knife mad slash.

"I'll take you guys to try, whether my "Krazi Saber Technique" is effective for you!"

The blade slashed on the weirdly twisting neck, and the huge force caused the woman's neck to be hit in an arc.

But Jiang Yuan was keenly aware that the moment the violent internal force on the blade touched the woman's neck, there was a slight "beep!" sound, which also made the woman's neck skin seem to be slightly damaged.

"It seems to have a certain effect, but this effect is still too weak!"

The woman's laughter is still ringing, her neck is wrapped around Jiang Yuan's long knife like a snake, and she swims along the blade, as if she is not afraid of the sharpness of the blade:

"What a lot of strength! For a man with such strength, the essence and blood must be delicious!"

While speaking, the woman's head had already swam in front of Jiang Yuan. She opened her mouth, and it opened wider and wider. The corners of her mouth were cracked to the base of her ears, and her mouth was full of long and sharp fangs:

"I'm so hungry! Let me eat you!"

A strong rancid smell emanated from the exaggeratedly large mouth, biting towards Jiang Yuan's face fiercely.

Jiang Yuan's eyes froze, and he bit the tip of his tongue violently.

Then, Jiang Yuan spurted out the blood from his mouth in one gulp, and the magma-like blood sprayed all over the head and face of the woman who was close at hand.

"what--!"

The long neck let go of the blade and kept shrinking, and a ball of fire covered the woman's head.

Pieces of rotten flesh continued to peel off from the woman's face. In a short moment, the woman's face was exposed except for the bones, and only the eyeballs in the eye sockets were left. As her lips were burned off, all her fangs were exposed.The woman at this moment looked so terrifying that it would make one's scalp tingle.

Jiang Yuan stretched out his left hand and grasped the crazily twisting neck.

Then he put the long knife in front of his mouth with his right hand, licked the blade with his tongue, and as the blood spit, the blade soon burst into flames.

The woman also realized the danger, and twisted her neck frantically, trying to break free from Jiang Yuan's hand.

Although the extremely long neck is extremely powerful, Jiang Yuan's strength is even greater. His hands are like iron tongs, firmly grasping the neck without any loosening.

"I like this head very much."

Jiang Yuan grabbed the woman's neck, pulled her head down in front of his eyes and said.

The flame on the woman's face had already been extinguished, and she now looked like a charred skeleton with black smoke still coming out.The remaining eyeballs in the eye sockets stared at Jiang Yuan with hatred and fear.

She seemed unable to figure out why a living person seemed to be more ferocious than a man-eating ghost.

Jiang Yuan was still thinking about himself and said:
"I once met a head, very similar to you. Back then, she made me grow by leaps and bounds. I hope you don't let me down!"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan slashed the long knife on the woman's head.

After cutting, the long knife didn't stop, stabbing into the woman's body or neck continuously, trying to make the woman's whole body covered in flames.

The surprisingly long neck twisted wildly, like a wounded centipede.

This twisting became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into a pile of black ash in the raging fire.

A ghost energy rose slowly and was swallowed by Jiang Yuan without hesitation.

Then there was some disappointment on his face:

"I can feel that my strength has improved again, but it seems that this ghost energy is not enough. No. I am constantly getting stronger, so I need more ghost energy to make my strength significantly improved."

At the beginning, a strange woman's head made it difficult for Jiang Yuan to parry, but after defeating it, his strength rose to a higher level.

And this time, the ghost he encountered was comparable to that weird woman head, Jiang Yuan was able to solve it easily, but even if he got the same amount of ghost energy, it made it slow to improve his strength from a large base.

Jiang Yuan thought for a while, then walked out of the house with a knife in hand.

He knew that there must be more demons waiting for him outside.

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Yuan stepped out, but there was nothing outside.

The wedding procession, those red boxes and sedan chairs all disappeared.

The entire backyard seemed to have changed from lively and festive to deep silence in a short moment, and the darkness was terrifyingly gloomy.

In the next two rooms, Lu Junsheng disappeared, and the old couple did not return.

Jiang Yuan walked out of the backyard with a knife and came to the front yard. The hall was also empty, and the ghost statue dumped on the altar seemed to be looking at him coldly.The fire in the hall has not been extinguished, obviously the people inside have just left.

The Yin wind was constantly circling, and it seemed that he was the only one left in the entire River God Temple.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment, and was about to walk outside the Heshen Temple.

At this moment, a small sound suddenly came from nearby.

The sound was like someone scratching the board with sharp nails.

Jiang Yuan turned his head and looked at the side room with the black lights off on the side of the main hall.

He clearly remembered that when he first arrived at the Heshen Temple, Yan Gudao was burning the dead bodies, and he told himself how many dead bodies there were in that room.

Without hesitation, Jiang Yuan turned and walked towards the dark side room.

With a sound of "squeak!", the door was pushed open by Jiang Yuan, and a stench of rotting corpses rushed towards him.

The room was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, Jiang Yuan pierced his index finger with a knife, and a cluster of flames suddenly burst out from the fingertips.

With the light of the fire, Jiang Yuan could clearly see several corpses lying on the floor of the room. They were male and female. The corpses were swollen and highly decomposed. It was not known whether it was because of being soaked in the river or because of the view of rotting giants.

What's creepy is that these corpses twisted slightly on the ground, and their teeth and nails were slowly growing out at a speed visible to the naked eye.The sound Jiang Yuan heard earlier was a corpse scratching the floor with its nails.

Jiang Yuan walked to the center of the corpses and looked down at them.

And those rotting corpses also slowly opened their eyes, their muddy and diffuse pupils turned around in unison, staring at Jiang Yuan coldly.

"It's still so painful to die, why don't you let me help you out."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan squeezed out blood from the wound of his index finger and dripped it on the corpses.

Soon the rotting corpse was burned to nothing, and the ghost energy was also absorbed by Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan has a clearer understanding of ghost qi.This thing seems to come from a demon, and it seems to be able to mutate the dead.If Jiang Yuan didn't have the ability to form the flame, he might not be able to understand this kind of ghostly aura.

This is just Jiang Yuan's rough judgment based on experience. If he wants to know more about ghost energy, Jiang Yuan feels that he should first strengthen his understanding of the world.

After doing all this, Jiang Yuan walked out of the Heshen Temple quickly without stopping.

"Are they gone... or are they dead?"

The carriage outside the temple had disappeared, and it was unknown whether Wang Li's family of three had left by themselves or had been killed by demons.

The north and west of the Heshen Temple are surrounded by the tall Jiuquan Mountain, the east is the road to this place, and the west is the wide Xuan River.

After leaving the Heshen Temple, the rocky beach came into view.

The moon is looming in the thick clouds, and the junction of the river beach and the east road is covered with reeds and weeds, swaying slightly with the night wind.

Jiang Yuan looked around, and saw a person standing faintly among the reeds beside the road.

The man just stood there quietly, motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

Jiang Yuan raised his knife and walked towards the man. When he got closer, he saw that the man was standing with his back to him.But with the clothes, it seems to be Lu Junsheng, a scholar.

A layer of white mist is wrapped around the reeds, like a layer of soft tulle.

In the air, besides the smell of soil and green grass, there is also a smell of blood.

Jiang Yuan pushed aside the half-human tall reed, came behind Lu Junsheng and said with a smile:

"It's deeper and the dew is heavier, and the road at night is dangerous. I didn't expect Brother Lu to be so elegant, and he was here alone in the middle of the night to enjoy the beautiful scenery."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yuan put his hand on Lu Junsheng's shoulder.

Lu Junsheng trembled all over, and he turned his head slowly, his handsome features were distorted due to fear.

"Brother Jiang, Jiang, it's you." His tone was lowered, and he became a little hoarse because of fear, "Look."

Jiang Yuan looked in front of Lu Junsheng, and saw blood dripping among the reeds.

The old couple had already turned into cold corpses.Their bodies seemed to have been devoured by wild animals, which was horrible.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes were full of coldness.

He remembered that the old couple was brought out by a young girl in the welcoming procession.

I only heard Lu Junsheng said in a daze:
"We stayed together at the River God Temple last night. Their grandson and granddaughter were lost during the night. They were too old and they were very inconvenient to move around. Today I helped them find them nearby for a day. I didn't expect it now."

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly, holding the long knife in his hand even tighter:

"Human life is worthless!"

The night in Taiping Town seems to be vivid in his mind, the world is so dark and depressing.

Lu Junsheng couldn't bear to look at the remains of the old couple anymore, he clenched his fists and panted heavily:

"I studied hard in the cold window, in order to gain fame and fame, but my ambitions are not rewarded! Now... what use can I be?"

The night wind howled and the grass fluttered, and both of them fell silent for a moment.

In the deep night sky, the suona sounded sharply.

The two turned their heads and saw that on the road among the bushes, the bright red welcoming team carrying lanterns and sedan chairs was slowly approaching them in the lingering mist.
