Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 983 - 513: Above the Heroic Land, a Hundred Ghosts Claim Their Due (Part 2)
Though this wasn't Ning Qing, the Murong brothers remained on edge.
Because this signaled that the person coming was targeting him and Ning Qing.
The whistling persisted, piercing the eardrums and irritating the nerves.
With a crack, one brother of Murong swept out with a scabbard, sending the whistle flying.
The sharp whistle ceased instantly, and finally, the Murong brother took a breath.
He knew he couldn't fall into the enemy's rhythm, but in the next moment, a nameless rage burst from his heart.
It was because he clearly saw that around the neck of the kneeling paper effigy hung a plaque saying, "Disgraceful Ning Qing." It looked like a punished sinner.
Throughout, the Murong brothers were either "Sisterhood of the World," or "Pretty Girl First Under Heaven," then "Ning Qing First Under Heaven." All these are what he cared about most in his heart.
Suddenly seeing Ning Qing made into a paper effigy and humiliated like this, his anger came unrestrained, and he swiftly swept out with a saber.
The Blood Shadow Mad Blade unsheathed, leaving a crimson path ahead.
The lifelike paper effigy was immediately torn to shreds.
Yet, as it was torn apart, the paper effigy emitted a woman's scream, leaving the Murong brother pale-faced.
The woman's scream was brief, but he thought it sounded a bit like Ning Qing.
Could it be that Ning Qing was wrapped inside the paper effigy, and he accidentally killed her?
In the next moment, the Murong brother realized that there was no way Ning Qing could be inside.
Even blind, he could tell the difference between a paper figure and a real person.
His chaotic thoughts were a result of his disturbed mind.
Because from start to finish, he hadn't seen Ning Qing.
Murong brother gripped the saber tightly, staying alert.
Because to his understanding, once the paper effigy is destroyed, there could be concealed weapons ready to strike.
He waited for ten breaths, but nothing happened.
The paper effigy had no traps.
But just as he relaxed, suddenly a string of black needles shot out unexpectedly from the paper effigy's remnants, aiming straight for the Murong brother's face.
The creator of the paper effigy seemed to anticipate the Murong brother's expectation.
They predicted that his guard would weaken after ten breaths, and in that moment, launched a fatal hidden weapon.
As the second Young Hero of Yuzhu, Murong brother's reflexes were unmatched.
He moved with the Blood Shadow Mad Blade, generating a swirling vortex that caught the black needles on the blade.
The Twelve Layers of Spring Rain, though he hadn't reached Duan Yun's level, were extremely practiced and responsive.
For instance, the Spring Rain Blade Energy slashing out spiraled outward, while the inward pull of Spring Rain generated a peculiar suction.
This suction was enough to attract the poisonous needles.
"Trivial tricks... damn!"
Just as the Murong brother looked at the needles he had absorbed, they exploded instantly, releasing a thick black smoke.
He immediately held his breath and retreated, but the sudden onslaught of the poisonous gas made him inhale a little.
Even a little made the Murong brother feel discomfort in his chest.
Logically, with his current power, he was immune to all poisons.
But this only applied to ordinary poisons; uniquely toxic substances could still trouble him.
After all, in the Martial Arts world, there are top masters, like those from the Great Yin Yang Water Divine Palace with their "Divine Water," feared even by the best.
Though this poison couldn't compare to the "Divine Water" of the Great Yin Yang Water Divine Palace, it was still a unique toxin beyond ordinary poisons and affected the True Qi flow within him.
Patience was necessary—like an old sow wearing a jacket, layers upon layers, wickedly sly.
The Murong brother quickly stayed alert while using the blade to force out the poison.
Sure enough, the moment he forced out the poison, the enemy appeared!
A flash of azure descended from the sky.
It was the azure of a skirt's hem, beneath which were a pair of jade-like long legs.
Clearly, these were a woman's legs, white and smooth, firm and well-proportioned. Normally, the Murong brother might take a good look.
After all, such enchanting views are likely only those of beautiful girls; he couldn't help but look.
But at this moment, he had no such thoughts, as he sensed danger.
Because those legs opened wide!
The instant the jade legs beneath the skirt spread, a terrifying suction force assaulted him!
The Murong brother lifted the Blood Shadow Mad Blade, generating fierce sword light.
The blood-colored sword light sank violently, as if caught by those legs.
No, incorrect, those legs were open, unable to grip, almost as if a mouth between them was biting onto his Sword Qi.
What kind of person has a mouth between their legs capable of holding a blade!
At this moment, a mocking laugh came from the crotch.
"Laugh at your mother!"
The Murong brothers' strike was blocked, yet they showed no sign of retreat and continued to slash forward.
Indeed, after spending time with Duan Yun, they also adopted the habit of being reckless.
Right where you are proud, they will crush you!
With a boom, the Blood Shadow Mad Blade collided between the opponent's legs, bringing out a metallic clashing sound, sparks flying, and numerous holes appeared in the blue skirt, soaring high.
The mouth within the opponent's crotch was actually made of iron!
Iron mouth under the crotch?
Although this strike was blocked, it was obvious that the Murong brothers had superior skills.
The opponent's crotch should have been numb from the vibration, and their momentum still had extra strength.
Almost at the same time, the Murong brothers' hands began to tremble!
Terrifying vibration instantly spread from their hands to the blade, intending to deliver this powerful vibration to the opponent!
As the vibration started, sparks flew, and the owner of the skirt let out a muffled groan, their body already unstable.
But just at this moment, the Murong brothers swiftly jumped back.
With a swish, a swirling Sword Light flew past their feet, trailing a flying streak of blood.
It was a sword, a serpent-like twisted saber.
Just now, the saber suddenly emerged from the earth, slicing towards their right leg.
Although they reacted quickly and had Protective True Qi shielding them, they were still wounded by the opponent, leaving a cut mark.
Immediately after, a bamboo hat flew over.
A round bamboo hat, rapidly spinning, carrying a throat-sealing ferocity!
The Murong brothers' blade pushed aside the iron mouth under the crotch while the scabbard simultaneously blocked ahead.
With a sizzling explosion, the scabbard blocked that spinning bamboo hat.
Due to the hasty exertion, the Murong brothers couldn't help but retreat two steps.
But then, sudden change occurred once more!
Just when the bamboo hat was flipped by the scabbard, a hand crawled out.
Earlier, when the opponent slashed once, both person and sword disappeared, leading the Murong brothers to assume they had burrowed into the ground again.
Turns out, the opponent wasn't in the ground but within the bamboo hat.
The bamboo hat, though not small, was difficult to conceal a person and a sword.
Yet, the opponent indeed concealed themselves and emerged like a magic trick.
The serpent-like saber, treacherous like a serpent, in the Murong brothers' eyes, each curve represented a portion of malice, for each bend could claim lives.
Following the hand's twist, the saber slashed towards the Murong brothers' neck.
The Murong brothers dragged their sword down.
Despite the descending blade, upward Sword Qi emerged.
The red blade emitted white Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi curved, like a crescent moon.
"Crescent Moon Saber!"
The Sword Qi of the Crescent Moon Saber collided with the serpent-like saber, sending the person, bamboo hat and all, flying away.
With a crash, a cleft was dragged on the ground.
Only then did the Murong brothers see clearly, it was a dwarf.
They had seen dwarves, and among them, the smallest were those eunuchs.
Those eunuchs were undoubtedly formidable, but the dwarf before them was even more vicious.
This person wasn't a eunuch, but instead had a bald head, tied with a small braid on top, swaying left and right, resembling a child with a hanging tress.
Meanwhile, the woman with the iron mouth at the crotch also lightly landed, standing alongside the dwarf.
The pair, one large, one small, merely standing there, evoked an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
Then the woman couldn't resist laughing: "You Green Blade Demon, to persist till now, has some skill."
The Murong brothers gripped their sword, frowned, and said, "Under the skirt, wronged souls Beautiful Ghost, head-chopping ghost Dwarf. You belong to the Ghost Mother Sect."
"Hahaha... you've guessed right!"
As soon as the sound started, a suona sound rang out. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Along with the suona, lamps suddenly illuminated.
Crimson lamps, like opened eyes, densely filled the graveyard.
Under the lamp light, ghostly silhouettes were numerous, golden clothes and colorful skirts, chains flying with sedan chairs, musicians, at first glance, like hundreds of ghosts parading at night.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the ghosts come to claim their lives!
