According to the records in Xuangang Taoism, ninth-level monsters are actually ordinary beasts, but they can passively swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and have the potential to become monsters.
The eighth-level monster has been born with intelligence, can think, and has some subtle powers. It can be called a spirit, but in the final analysis it is still the body of a beast.
The eye-catching tiger in front of us obviously belongs to the category of Baji monsters. It can drive ghosts and has some intelligence, but it is still a man-eating beast.
At the moment when the eye-catching tiger pounced on Jiang Hanlin, Gu Cheng was already holding a long sword, and still holding the sword with both hands, he slashed straight at the tiger's tail.
The spell-breaking sword has different ways of dealing with different opponents.
There is the lightness of a fast sword, and there is the heaviness of a heavy sword.
This eye-catching tiger is extremely powerful, and when facing it with the quick sword technique, it can only end up like Jiang Hanlin.
Feeling the strong wind behind him, the eye-catching tiger immediately changed its target and pounced on Gu Cheng.
The tail is its killing weapon, but it is also its most vulnerable point and cannot be used head-on with a sword.
The tiger's claw struck the long sword, and Gu Cheng suddenly felt a strong force coming, causing him to retreat step by step.
The difference in strength was still too big, but Gu Cheng didn't panic at all, and he blocked the tiger's claws with sword after sword, seemingly dangerously.
At this time, the tiger was already a little impatient. It opened its bloody mouth and bit Gu Cheng suddenly, and the tiger's tail was like a steel whip whipping towards Gu Cheng!
Gu Cheng had been guarding against this move, and rolled violently when he saw it, but instead of avoiding it, he actually rolled into the tiger's arms.
At this moment, Gu Cheng immediately called out the black arm in the black jade space. The thick black arm with sharp claws easily penetrated into the body of the eye-catching tiger. He suddenly raised it up and immediately
The eye-catching tiger was flipped over, and its blood and internal organs were spilled from mid-air.
The next moment, Gu Cheng immediately put away his black arms.
It's not because he's afraid of being seen, but it consumes too much mental energy.
However, the power is really amazing. Not to mention the sharpness of the zombie claws of the black zombie arm, the explosive power in that moment is simply amazing. Such a tiger weighing several hundred pounds can be easily overturned.
Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing both had their eyes widened with disbelief on their faces.
They didn't even see what was going on. This tiger that had become a spirit was disemboweled. Who is such a rogue?
At this time, Gu Cheng stood there stunned for a moment.
Because the moment he killed the tiger, there was a subtle black light emerging from the jade pendant, as if something had been taken away from the tiger's body, as if it was a void power.
These powers were brought into the black jade space, and part of it remained, but part of it was fed back into Gu Cheng's body, causing a surge of heat in his body. He could clearly feel that his physical meridians were powerful.
I have made some progress, which is greater than the progress I made by practicing Wu Gang Minutes for one month.
The most important thing is that the part of the power left in the black jade space actually made the jade pendant space slightly larger. Although it was only a little bit, it made the black jade space less full, which immediately made Gu Cheng happy.
extremely.
He was previously worried that the black jade space was full and could no longer swallow other ghosts. He would also be missing a trump card in the future.
But now it seems that this black jade space can actually grow. After killing monsters, it can absorb its power and grow, and it will also feed back part of its power to itself.
At this time, after the demon Zhao Xinghua saw the tiger being killed, he not only did not panic, but was extremely happy, muttering in his mouth: "Freed! Finally freed!"
Gu Cheng said calmly: "You are free, so you can go to the underworld to report? I am very curious. When people die, they become ghosts. What do ghosts become after they die? Are their souls scattered?"
Zhao Xinghua's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly knelt down and cried for mercy: "Don't kill me! I was forced to do nothing!
If I don't help that tiger kill people, I will turn into a ghost and suffer torture forever.
I just want to be free, what’s wrong with that? Anyone who looks like me would make this choice!"
Gu Cheng shook his head gently: "If you were more straightforward, you would still be a man.
Since you have already acted as a fool for the tiger, why should you be so hypocritical?
You scholars always like to make so many excuses for yourself, but the bad ones are not completely bad."
Gu Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense with such a hypocrite, but if you use a sword to kill people, what should you use to kill ghosts?
Thinking of the golden seal recorded in Xuan Gang Taoism, Gu Cheng dipped in the tiger blood stained with some unfamiliarity, drew the talisman on the back of his hand, and held the seal with one hand.
As soon as Zhao Xinghua saw something was wrong, he immediately wanted to run away.
But Gu Cheng's golden light seal had already fallen, and a golden light bloomed in his hand. Although it was very subtle, it was very obvious at night.
Zhao Xinghua was tainted by the golden light, and immediately screamed, the Yin energy outside his body dissipated, and he was completely out of his mind.
According to the level of ghosts, this ghost is almost the lowest level ninth-level ghost. It has no offensive power except to confuse people.
After killing the ghost, Gu Cheng could also feel that the black jade space had also absorbed a bit of the ghost's power, making the space a little bigger, but he was almost imperceptible.
Moreover, what was fed back to Gu Cheng was not the strengthening of his physical body, but a subtle yin force entrenched in Gu Cheng's meridians.
This made Gu Cheng slightly stunned. The power brought by killing ghosts and killing monsters is actually different?
I took a look at the wandering corpses behind me. Is this a ghost or a monster? But no matter what, if you kill them, the black jade space will also grow a part, right?
Gu Cheng said to Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing: "Both of you, you are both warriors, and you have seen the situation. If we don't deal with all these wandering corpses, none of us will be able to leave today.
If you can trust me, then help me protect the law and let me rush into the zombies and find the person behind them."
Jiang Hanlin was still hesitant, but Han Jingjing immediately picked up the sword and said, "I am willing to fight alongside you, Brother Gu!"
When Han Jingjing entered the martial arts world for the first time, she was filled with stars when she saw Gu Cheng killing the tiger with ease just now.
Jiang Hanlin was a little reluctant, even a little bit offended.
In the past, junior sister would only look at him like this.
Han Jingjing turned her head and looked at Jiang Hanlin seriously: "Brother, do you want us all to die here?"
"Okay, okay, okay, I promise."
Gu Cheng nodded and said to the guard commander: "Guys, use your bows and arrows to protect us from a distance. Don't let too many wandering corpses surround us."
The guard commander raised his hand to Gu Cheng and said, "Then I'll trouble Mr. Gu."
Seeing Gu Cheng showing off his strength, he even changed his title.
"Do it!"
As Gu Cheng finished speaking, several guards suddenly stopped being stingy with their bows and arrows and shot wildly at the wandering corpses.
At the same time, Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing were guarding Gu Cheng on both sides, their long swords shining with cold light as they attacked the wandering corpses.
Although Jiang Hanlin was a little embarrassed when he fought against the tiger before, the strength of these zombies was far inferior to that of the tiger, so they could still block it.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Cheng rushed directly into the group of corpses. The long sword in his hand was dancing. It was far less powerful than Jiang Hanlin's Qingyuan Cold Light Sword, but each sword could stab from the most suitable angle and cut off the heads of the corpses.
Without a trace of extra swordsmanship, Gu Cheng deployed the skill-breaking sword, which seemed a bit jerky at the beginning, but gradually became agile and natural.
At this time, the person controlling the zombies felt something was wrong, and immediately let a large group of zombies surround the three of them.
"Hurry up! I can't stop it!"
Jiang Hanlin was shouting.
Wandering corpses came from all directions, and his sword power was already a bit chaotic.
Gu Cheng wasn't much better either. No matter how exquisite the spell-breaking sword was, it only had one sword, but it was surrounded by dense zombies.
Calling out the Black Stiff Arm again, and using it for the second time, Gu Cheng felt waves of severe pain in his mind.
The black zombie arm swept across, and the powerful force immediately swept away all the zombies in the surrounding area, revealing a figure behind him.
It was a little old man wearing a gray linen robe, with a stooped figure, a pale complexion, and gloomy brows.
Seeing Gu Cheng's black and stiff arm, the little old man suddenly looked horrified.
"Xiangxi Wu family! Wait a minute, do it! I am..."
At that moment, Gu Cheng had put away his black arms, stepped forward, and slashed with his sword. Blood spilled and his head flew into the air.
The first time he killed someone, Gu Cheng still felt a little nervous and uncomfortable, but this time he no longer felt that way.
This little old man can control dozens of wandering corpses, but he himself is extremely fragile and cannot even fight back when he is approached.
Moreover, Gu Cheng has determined that the black jade space can only gain power when killing monsters and ghosts, but not when killing people.
He had just killed a few wandering corpses, but the power he gained was very little, almost the same as that of the demon.
At this time, as the little old man died, the wandering corpses also stopped.
Jiang Hanlin sat on the ground sweating profusely, but Han Jingjing looked excited.
This is the world of her dreams. Although it is strange and dangerous, it is full of unknown passion.
Just when she wanted to cheer, she saw Gu Cheng silently cutting off the heads of the zombies one by one, looking like a perverted murderer.
Gu Cheng was based on the principle that no matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat. However, in the eyes of others, it was so weird and horrifying.
Jiang Hanlin gently pulled Han Jingjing and said in a low voice: "Junior sister, you know people and faces but don't know their hearts. You must be careful when traveling in the world. You can't trust anyone."
Han Jingjing asked, "Then why did you believe that demon's words so easily just now?"
Jiang Hanlin: "..."
Alas, it’s hard to take care of my junior sister now that she’s grown up.
………………
Next to the official road at the foot of the barren mountain, after a night of fierce fighting, everyone went down the mountain all night and finally came to the official road, ready to say goodbye.
The young lady of the Xiao family gave a slight salute to Gu Cheng: "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for rescuing me this time. This little girl will keep this kindness in mind. When Mr. Gu comes to the capital, I, the Xiao family, will be very grateful."
Gu Cheng nodded and said, "Miss Xiao, there's no need to be polite. I was just trying to save myself."
After the Xiao family's team left, Han Jingjing also came over to say goodbye to Gu Cheng.
"Brother Gu, thank you very much for saving my senior brother's life this time."
At this time, Jiang Hanlin couldn't be proud anymore in front of Gu Cheng, but he still patted his chest and said, "Brother Gu, I will remember this favor. We are going to Jiangbei to explore. If Brother Gu has the opportunity, he can come to Donglin County to repay me."
The name Qingyuan Sword Sect definitely works!"
Gu Cheng smiled and said, "I remember, you two walk slowly."
Seeing the brothers and sisters disappear at the end of the official road, Gu Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.
No one in that mountain temple last night, including him, Gu Cheng, was a simple being. Only this pair of senior brothers and sisters were the simplest. Maybe until now, they didn't notice anything was wrong.
Gu Cheng looked in the direction of the Xiao family's team, twitched his lips, and walked straight to the main road where Donglin County was located.
At this time, on the other side of the official road, the young lady from the Xiao family suddenly stepped out of the carriage with an expressionless face and suddenly slapped the old housekeeper in the face!
"Trash! We couldn't arrange this little thing well and almost forced us to lift the ban.
If something unexpected happens in the next trip, you will just ignite the fire in your heart and burn yourself to death!"
