"Master Shi, you...what is wrong with you?"

Xiao Xia was shocked when he saw the change in Shi Taoist Man's body. However, instead of going forward to check carefully, he took a few steps back and retreated to the entrance of the cellar. Because he could see at a glance that the black smog that rose from Shi Taoist Man's body was the ghost curse.

Although only talking about attacking power, the Mitian Ghost Heart Curse can only be at the bottom of the five strategies of the heavenly demon. No matter whether it absorbs human essence, blood and vitality to nourish one's own heavenly creation skills, the great destruction hand that breaks all is above it, and even the mysterious Heart Sutra of Pure Land has innate advantages and disadvantages. But that is one of the highest secret scripts of the Demon Cult after all. Xiao Xia has suffered a lot from this thing. Even if he is prepared for it now and has enough means to deal with it, he will never dare to be careless.

From the appearance of the black mist, the Shi Taoist, who was already almost foolish, immediately shook his whole body, and his expression that had been stagnant changed again. After being shocked and shocked, it turned into a strange twist.

"Yes... it was the man's hand... He had already put the ghost curse in my body... Why... Why is it suddenly..." Shi Taoist squeezed out his throat word by word. The expression on his face was extremely strange, or there was no expression at all, but every muscle seemed to turn into small snakes moving independently under the black mist, entangled and twisted and bite each other.

"Is it...because Shangguan Wenzhong is dead?" Xiao Xia could guess that it was probably the reason.

"No, I don't know..." Taoist Shi could not even say anything. The black aura that looked like fog and flew on him was churning. It set off layer by layer of small tsunami, as if it wanted to wrap him up. The muscles and skin of his body were also surging alone in the black wave, as if it was about to twist into an indescribable monster at any time, or to collapse into minced meat on the ground.

But until this time, Taoist Shi was not dead, and even from his eyes that were not completely lost, he was still able to maintain his reason, because two faint rays of light came out from his heart and forehead. They appeared and disappeared in the tide of black aura, but they firmly resisted and rejected them.

The black tide kept surging on the Shi Taoist's body, and strife with the two faint lights that appeared. For a moment, it seemed to be stalemate, but the body of the Shi Taoist's body could no longer bear it. Broken muscles kept collapsing from under the skin, and quickly turned into drops of thick juice in the black ghost curse.

Xiao Xia hesitated for a moment. He still pulled out a talisman from his waist. He threw it out with his hand. The talisman turned into a clear light in the air, and then condensed into a hazy huge light sword and slashed down towards the Shi Taoist.

The giant sword of Qingguang passed through Shi Taoist Shi's body, but there was no damage in Shi Taoist Shi's body. Instead, the boiling black haze was cut open to a gap, and the surging momentum was also curbed, and gradually calmed down and disappeared.

"Master Shi, how are you? Can you hold on?" Xiao Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Mitian Ghost Heart Mantra restrained all the Taoist martial arts and martial arts under the innate world, it still has a measure in the end. This ghost mantra, which is not directly controlled by the mantra caster, is a rootless water, and its power is greatly reduced. As long as you use the right method, there is still a way to deal with it. The "Shangqing Zanpo Sword" he used just now was specially prepared in advance. The Maoshan School's first-grade Taoist method has a great restraining effect on evil spirits and ghosts, and it really works in one fell swoop.

"I...I...I can't do it anymore. Now I just regret not listening to you..." Taoist Shi said these words with difficulty. Although the ghost curse has temporarily eased, the damage to him in just a short moment was too great. His body, which had already been full of holes, had already reached its limit. The body that had just broken under the ghost curse has been constantly oozing out blood, and even he himself could feel it. The vitality was quickly passing through his body along the wounds. Now he can still survive because of the two treasures buried in his heart and eyebrows.

But it was just an external object after all, and at most I could only help him hold on for a while. Taoist Shi knew very well that he had no time left and had no choice. He could only look at Xiao Xia and use all his remaining strength to say: "...Brother Xia, you and I have a fate. Now I am about to die. I just have an important thing and a wish to entrust you..."

Xiao Xia could only nod: "Please say, Taoist priest."

"...The person behind the scenes who instructed Shangguan Wenzhong to harm me was actually my two flying swords. Now the flying sword has fallen into the man's hands, but he didn't expect that the sword marrow of these two flying swords has always been on me. Without this thing, he could not drive the two flying swords, so he ordered the monkey to question and torture me..."

Following the words of Shi Taoist, two small swords about inch long flew out from his eyebrows and chest with a layer of hazy light, and flew in front of Xiao Xia.

"This is the sword marrow of my two flying swords. I have always been held in my heart and eyebrows, and merged with my true essence and life. Now I will give him to you. If you have the chance, go and collect those two flying swords. If you can help me get revenge, I will thank you in the nine springs..."

"This..." Xiao Xia was at a loss when he looked at the two small swords floating in the air in front of him. He had never heard of the flying sword marrow. Even if he got it, he didn't know how to use it. He didn't even know how to "take it". Looking at the shape, this was indeed what Shi Taoist's two flying swords looked like after shrinking several times, but it was floating in the air, surrounded by hazy light, as if it was real, as if it was illusory, as if it was real.

At this moment, the ghost curse that had just calmed down on the body suddenly swept over again, as if the black haze that rushed out of all the pores on his body swallowed him up with a momentum and speed ten times heavier than before. This time there was no force enough to resist. Xiao Xia didn't even have time to react, so he watched the Shi Taoist in front of him completely submerged in this extremely unknown black area.

There was a strange sound, as if countless limbs, soft or hard, dry or wet, squeezed and crushed each other at the same time. After a few blinks, there was no Shi Taoist in this world anymore. There was not even a corpse. After the black haze gradually dissipated, only a pile of black juice oozing out, emitting unpleasant and rotten flesh. The backhand of the ghost curse set on Shi Taoist seemed to be to wipe out all the things and traces on him.

After staying there for a while, Xiao Xia could only sigh and stretched his hand to the two small swords in the air.

Just as he held it, a light that seemed to penetrate all things bloomed out of the small sword, completely swallowing Xiao Xia and even the entire cellar.

###

In the canyon between the two cliffs. Just in the morning, a fog rose from the small lake outside the valley and began to spread among the valleys.

As the fog spreads, there is also a bone-black chill, although it doesn’t even fall. However, the unique wet and coldness in the middle of winter in the south has a bone-permeable penetration power than the wind and snow in the north. No matter how tightly you wear, the chill can be soaked into your clothes along with the water vapor, making people feel that the bones are frozen and clattered.

In this biting morning mist, dozens of figures were flexibly jumping among the rocks in the canyon. They only had a thin layer of tights, their bodies were flexible and erratic, and they were quick and light in their movements, just like a group of shadows dancing between reality and reality.

The rumbling sound gradually approached. A huge shadow rushed out of the fog and chased the people who were jumping and running. Although the figure was huge, it was not heavy at all. It was also walking like a flying place in the canyons covered with rocks. Eight legs stretched out quickly, supporting a body the size of an attic to move forward quickly.

As these people ran, the huge body rushed out of the fog, revealing all its figures, and it was a spider.

Of course, it is not a real spider. No matter what, it will not be several feet tall. Eight of them are nearly ten feet long. The outer body of the metal and wood structure is sharp, cold and hard, and this is actually a huge spider-shaped mechanism beast.

The more than ten people running around the huge mechanic spider, as if dodging, or seizing every opportunity to attack. These people often stirred up sharp and harsh sounds of wind when waved their hands. Countless hidden weapons flew at various angles toward the joints of the mechanic beast, or between the gaps connected, but they had no effect except for some futile ding-dong rebound sounds. Some people also had weapons in their hands, but no matter whether they slashed the sword or stabbed the sword, even if they brought their internal strength, they had limited effect on the iron-stone mechanic shell, leaving at most some not-deep scars. After all, the eight long legs of this mechanic spider were thicker than the human body, and it was not easy to cut off even if it was just an ordinary log.

The mechanical spider kept waving eight feet, with a flexibility that was as flexible as a real spider. He also slashed at the people around him while moving forward and backward. Judging from the huge size and the sound of the wind, even if the buffalo was hit, he could be smashed out. The people running and jumping around seemed quite afraid and did not dare to get too close.

"It's here, do it!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the crowd. The one who made a sound was a 16 or 17-year-old boy from the crowd. While shouting loudly, he rushed forward and rushed into the gap between the two front legs that the spider was waving, and rushed straight to the position under the spider's abdomen. He aimed at one of the spider's hind legs and used all his strength to slam it and slammed it over.

At the same time, the other two figures next to them also shot out hidden weapons from their hands, with a sharp sound of breaking the wind. However, the hidden weapons were not shot at the huge mechanical spider, but into the rocks under the legs the boy hit.

With two loud bangs, the hidden weapon shot into the cracks of the rock suddenly exploded, shattering the rock below. At the same time, the young man hit the mechanic spider rightfully and stepped on the leg of the rock. The leg originally supported most of the weight of the mechanic spider. It immediately fell deeply, and the huge body of the mechanic spider also tilted and lost balance.

This seemed to give people around them a signal. All the people who were just wandering around before rushed towards the mechanic spider. It seemed that a group of bloodthirsty ants finally found the flaw exposed by this huge prey. They changed their previous erratic harassment tactics, all with fists, legs, and body, and used all their strength to attack the other long legs of the mechanic spider. Their attack directions were also accurate and poisonous, and they followed the strength of the body when the mechanic spider was tilted. They were aiming at the joints with long legs.

With a few sounds, the leg of the spider who was deeply trapped in the gravel could not withstand the impact and the force of its own tilt, and it broke. The joints of the other legs were also damaged to varying degrees, and the originally flexible huge body also stopped.

Although there was no cheer, the people who gathered by the spider and had just made this round of siege had some excitement and joy on their faces. Almost all of these people were teenagers in their teenagers, including one or two girls. The old Taoist who had taken the siege before was decisive but was like a group of old martial arts who had been fighting for a long time.

But this is just a teenager in his teens. Faced with this mechanism monster that seems to be unable to compete with human power, they can still work together to knock it down, which still makes them feel excited.

But the excitement just came up. Before they could take the next move, dozens of iron tubes suddenly stretched out from the body of the spider, and then the overwhelming gray juice shot out.

There were many of these teenagers who were sensitive to the reactions, and almost immediately retreated backwards as the iron pipes were exposed. But these iron pipes were all around the body of the spider. This round of spraying covered all the spider's body dozens of feet, and nearly ten streams of juice were sprayed across the top, which was impossible to avoid. In a blink of an eye, this large area was sprayed everywhere by the inexplicable juice, and the dozens of teenagers were all poured thoroughly. After seeing the wind, the juice quickly became extremely sticky, and immediately turned the dozens of feet around into a very sticky mud. These teenagers were stuck on it like small insects flying into a spider web and could not move.

The teenagers all showed panic, some of whom had some mobility and were rushing to use weapons to cut the sticky juice. Some even took out some small bottles to pour some potion powder and other things that seemed to want to resolve it, but they couldn't get rid of it for a while. However, the huge mechanical spider had already stood up again.

Of course, the spider was filled with the extremely sticky juice, but it could not limit the huge force between the agitation of the mechanism. In addition to the one that was broken, the two feet were also seriously damaged. It stood up again with the other five long legs and stepped towards the boy who was stuck to the ground in front.

At this moment, a figure jumped up from the high cliff next to it and fell to the place. In the blink of an eye, it fell to the top of the head of the mechanic spider. While falling, the man had already clenched his fist in his hand and punched the mechanic spider with this falling force.

There was a dull sound, as if a huge incredible drum face that was hundreds of feet wide, and all the young men were dizzy. And the ground under the spider who was hit by this punch suddenly sank a large piece of it, and his whole body shook violently, and then he lay on the ground without moving at all.

The man jumped down from the head of the mechanic spider, and without taking a look at the mechanic monster behind him, the size of a whole attic, just looked at the boy on the ground and shook his head and sighed. This was a chubby middle-aged man, with an ordinary face and a very rustic dress. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing surprising, just like a rural farmer who could be seen everywhere, but the middle-aged man's hands were big, and his fists were even bigger, almost no smaller than his fat head. He used such a huge fist to completely stop the mechanic beast that was a hundred times larger than his body.

"Uncle Second." Looking at the middle-aged people, the young men who were stuck all looked ashamed.

"Mr. Tang Er, why did you take action? I, the Sky Spider, are just in the trial stage, but I can't stand your Yuan Zhen hammer."

The head of the mechanism spider turned open, and a man came out in a little embarrassed manner. As soon as he came out, he smiled and asked the middle-aged man below. This was a woman, tall and thin, about forty years old, wearing a strong outfit, with long hair tied up a bun behind her head without applying makeup, but she had a unique charm. There were already many wrinkles on the corners of the woman's eyes, but the cheerfulness between her words seemed to be more energetic than the young men below, and her whole body was filled with a capable spirit that was not inferior to that of a man.

The middle-aged man below also turned his head, his chubby face was full of a kind smile, and he bowed to the woman, and said with a smile: "President Fang, please don't blame me. If you want to blame, you must blame you for your mechanism. I also looked at itchy on it, so I couldn't help but try a punch. This round of competition was indeed your boys, and these guys from our Tang family are indeed not opponents of your mechanism."

"That is, these young Tang Sect's children are usually used to dealing with people and not to deal with such mechanisms." The woman smiled. This is not humble. The Tang Sect's hidden weapons and unique weapons are the only ones in the world, but no matter how exquisite the hidden weapons are, it is useless to face such a huge mechanism creation.

While speaking, the woman threw a bottle of medicine in her hand on the ground and broke it. A gray smoke rose from it and melted into the morning mist in the valley. Then the sticky sticky juice quickly dried into a layer of shell and fell off the boy's body layer by layer.

Seeing this situation, the chubby middle-aged man's eyes lit up again: "Oh? Shenjitang is not only powerful in mechanisms, but these potions are also quite extraordinary."

"This is the bonding potion prepared by our Tiangongying Workshop. Now we are trying to find a way to mix it with toxins such as paralyzing and dispersing skills. If it is done, the effectiveness can be further increased. Even the strongest person or monster can be controlled." The woman talked happily, and her words were spoken quickly, but it was also very clear, and her tone showed extraordinary confidence. However, when she looked at the middle-aged man, she couldn't help but smiled bitterly. "But our small mechanisms, such as the great masters like Second Master, are a little pale. My mechanism spider has spent 780,000 taels of silver, and now I've been beaten by Second Master, you're a punch. We are doing business, so you have to pay."

"Hahahaha, Master Fang spoke happily and was straightforward. He was indeed a man. But what are you, one or two mechanical beasts, what is the size of a man?" The middle-aged man smiled, and a savage face was indescribable. The big big palm fan hand dropped a large piece of eggshell-like thing. It was the bonding potion he had just pulled off from a boy before. It was originally extremely sticky, and the potion that made the boy stuck on him could not move was like a piece of clothes. It was gently lifted off.

The man scratched his head again, like a rural farmer who accidentally broke other people's things, and said embarrassedly: "What's more, this mechanism beast is not seriously damaged. The architecture design of this mechanism spider is based on a real spider, right? I looked at it for a long time and saw some of the famous ones. The punch just now just shook off the water pressure transmission points of all joints, and just take a little effort to connect them again."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Tang had quite a good at learning about the art of the mechanism, and could see the structure of me, a Sky Mechanism Spider." The woman raised her slender sword eyebrows, and a light flashed in her eyes. She stood next to a slightly short middle-aged man, and was half a head taller than the middle-aged man. Her cheerful and confident words sounded like an aggressive and intimate feeling. "Since Mr. Er is an expert, he should be able to see the strength of our Shenjitang. How about it? Can you talk about our cooperation now?" (To be continued...)
