Chapter 1992: Strange Maze
General Chongwu swung his spear:
"Don't you dare! Just you and me!"
This sound was made with real strength, like a loud thunder.
He Lingchuan chuckled. He was indeed the one who rescued the three-tailed fox demon in order to complete the mission at Lingshan. However, at that time, King Yao suspected that Chongwu was the murderer of Xue Zongwu. This was not a deliberate trap set by He Lingchuan, but because he defected to Qingyang and implicitly stood on the opposite side of King Yao.
He Lingchuan lightly lifted the reins, and the Black King knocked down two small trees and rushed directly up the slope.
The Black Armored Army followed closely behind.
General Chongwu shouted, and the Bisha Knights roared and charged down from the top of the slope.
In the blink of an eye, the two groups of people collided with each other.
General Chongwu still used his most powerful spear. He Lingchuan had seen him fight several times before and knew that he liked to use bold, fierce and aggressive moves.
The knife was no longer enough at this time, so he flipped his wrist and drew out a long spear.
This halberd has three blades in total. In addition to the cold and shining middle blade, there is a crescent-shaped blade on each side. The overall shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. This shape is not only suitable for chopping, cutting, and stabbing, but also for horizontal hitting and smashing, with many variations.
It has a history. Its predecessor was the broken halberd that He Lingchuan took out from the Azure Dragon Underground Palace. It was originally the life weapon of the Yaksha King of Chaohai, but was broken by the Azure Dragon. After He Lingchuan picked it up, he gave it to Songyang Mansion to be re-polished and reconnected, and it turned from a trident into a double-moon halberd.
The halberd's shaft was made of a piece of wood taken from Qinglong's head. It was incredibly hard and had the toughness of wood.
As soon as this halberd was taken out, the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.
When General Chongwu started fighting him, he found that the power of the "Nine Nether Emperor" was really terrifying. He didn't look like a human when he stretched out his spear, but like a giant elephant. When the opponent's long halberd hit him, he was very reluctant to block it. His mount even neighed and almost lost its legs.
The halberd also exuded an icy aura, making people feel very uncomfortable.
He had seen He Xiao many times before, so how come he didn't realize that this man had extremely high attainments in martial arts and cultivation?
As the two of them fought, the deep voice of Emperor Jiuyou also rang in his ears:
"Remember Qu Ruhai? You had a duel at King Yao's birthday banquet."
General Chongwu remained silent because he was finding it very difficult to defend himself.
"He lasted a total of ten moves under my hands. Let's see how long you can last."
At King Yao's birthday banquet, General Chongwu and Qu Ruhai did not fight to the death, but He Lingchuan could still see that General Chongwu was slightly stronger.
After another three moves, General Chongwu's shoulder was swept by the heavy halberd, and he and his horse retreated three steps.
His shoulder was in excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth, swung his spear in a feint, then turned his horse around and rode away, holding his shoulder.
He Lingchuan naturally led his troops in pursuit.
The tree species in the woods ahead have changed. They are no longer small miscellaneous woods, but tall, broad-crowned ancient trees, shading the rugged rocks.
After chasing for another two miles, there is a pure stone mountain in front.
The road is getting narrower and narrower.
General Chongwu led more than a hundred cavalrymen and ran in front.
This mountain was probably more than a hundred feet long. The sentries of the Black Armored Army went over to scout first, but found no ambush. Then He Lingchuan led his troops in.
The pursuit was too fast, and the mountain road was narrow, so he had only two hundred elite cavalrymen behind him.
Behind the mountain screen is a stone forest. If you look from a high place, the layers of stone forests are like thousands of sails competing in a boat, separating countless paths.
Luo Xie whispered, "Are they planning to play hide-and-seek with us here?"
He Lingchuan's eyes turned slightly: "Don't chase, go back."
There looked like a trap ahead, and he didn't want to step into it. Besides, there were no more human voices or horse hoof sounds behind him, and he felt something was wrong.
Where are the other men?
However, everyone took a few steps back and exclaimed.
The way back has changed.
They came here through a flat valley, but when they went back now, they found that the valley had disappeared, replaced by layers of stone forests.
Situ He asked curiously: "Illusion?"
He Lingchuan shook his head: "It's not an illusion."
Otherwise he would have seen it at a glance.
Unless you use an extremely sophisticated illusion, there is no way you can deceive his energy.
interesting.
After all, he had fallen into the other party's trap. He turned back and pointed: "Keep chasing."
Since it's the same going forward and backward, I might as well keep chasing.
A black-armored warrior took out a fluorescent spore lamp, and He Lingchuan gently swung the tip of his halberd, throwing a drop of blood on it into the lamp.
That was General Chongwu's blood.
The fluorescent spore lamp itself has no temperature, but now it has turned red.
This is a magical power for tracking people. If the spore lamp is held in the right direction, the light will be red, otherwise it will turn back to light white.
"Let's go." He Lingchuan reminded everyone, "Be alert."
They kept chasing Chongwu, often knocking down a few Pisha people, and the two sides had several close combats. However, the terrain here was strange, and General Chongwu had several narrow escapes.
However, as he was chasing, Luo Xie suddenly said:
"Emperor, we seem to be short of people."
"Short of people?" He Lingchuan was startled.
It is normal to lose people in battle, but "the Wang brothers were originally walking on my left side. After the last battle, they disappeared."
Luo Xie added: "They were not injured."
At this moment, He Lingchuan also heard the voice of the Blood Demon:
"The blood here is very strong."
He Lingchuan stopped and looked around.
The smell of blood? But he smelled nothing.
He Lingchuan took out the soul-capturing mirror and put it on his arm: "Watch closely."
After walking for more than thirty feet, the Soul Mirror suddenly shouted, "The stone page behind the right side of the team has moved!"
The passage in the stone forest was very narrow. People shuttled through the stone pages and stone screens like fish swimming under lotus leaves. Not everyone could stay together.
He Lingchuan heard this and ran back at top of his toes, so fast that the black-armored soldier only felt a breeze blowing by his side. He aimed at the stone screen indicated by the mirror and chopped down twice with his sword, making a cross cut!
The mirror called out, "Gently, gently!"
Few stones can withstand Fu Sheng's knife, so this one was naturally split into four pieces. The henchmen behind him rushed over and broke the stone apart.
A black-armored soldier was wrapped in the stone, his eyes were closed and he was completely dead.
Everyone shook his shoulders: "Wake up!"
The soldier opened his eyes and took a deep breath, as if waking up from a dream.
When asked about it, he said that he was walking forward just fine, but somehow there was a stone wall in front of him, and there was no way forward. He naturally reached out and touched it twice, and then he knew nothing.
When I opened my eyes again, it was like this.
He Lingchuan stared at the stone page he had chopped off, and stretched out the tip of the knife to pick up something.
The feeling of splitting the stone just now was not right. It seemed to twitch violently.
"It's human blood, but it's not purely human blood! It's not the blood of your wrapped subordinates either!" The blood demon seemed to take a few sniffs and felt very curious. "It's like the smell of soil and metal mixed into the blood. Interesting!"
It has killed so many people and sucked so much blood, but this is the first time I have seen it.
