The skeleton's bone joints were held together by a little bit of dead flesh that had not been eaten cleanly. It moved quickly, and had a white Phalaenopsis orchid in its mouth.
The delicate petals of the Phalaenopsis orchid trembled in the breeze, like miniature commanding officers, silently giving orders.
Chen Ling has never felt this way before. It turns out that a delicate little flower can also become a deadly sword.
Those bones that should have been lying in the mud turned into the most ruthless killers. The five fingers lost the covering of flesh and skin and became sharp weapons. They only scratched the clothes lightly and left a long mark on the fabric.
Chen Ling dodged a spooky bony claw and kicked it hard. Before he could retract his foot, another skeleton pounced on him and hugged him from behind.
Jiang Yu was surrounded, but he was invisible. The skeletons had no sense of his existence and even moved around him.
Chen Ling was envious and jealous. The Yin God was indeed extraordinary. It was different from traditional ghosts, but was given some of the duties of a god. It was neither human nor ghost, neither ghost nor god.
But he had also seen ordinary ghost messengers, and he had seen three of them at a time. They all had a strong yin and ghost aura, which was completely different from the feeling his ancestor gave him.
He couldn't say anything more specific.
"Don't be in a daze, attack its rear sight." Jiang Yu grabbed the head of the skeleton that was hugging the young man's back, and his voice was stern.
Chen Ling came back to his senses, pushed away the skeleton claws that were holding his legs, turned around and chopped down with a knife.
The skull cracked, and the Phalaenopsis orchid broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
He rubbed the shoulder that was clamped by the skeleton twice, and before he had time to catch his breath, another one came towards him! Chen Ling was exhausted, and his body was a little unstable. He held Jiang Yu's arm with one hand and kicked sideways.
The skeleton staggered backwards and bumped into Wu Weiwei who had moved over.
Wu Weiwei screamed "Ah", and the bone-cutting knife in his hand moved faster than his expression changed. As soon as the afterimage passed, the skeleton fell to the ground.
He patted his chest, feeling a little scared, and said, "Fortunately, I acted quickly."
But having said that, the weapon that Brother Chen gave him was still the most useful. The bone-chopping knife made a crackling sound when it chopped bones, and it was the nemesis of hard bones. If he had used other knives, he might not have been able to use them so well.
Looking up, he saw Li Hongyu was surrounded by three skeletons. He lowered his head and rushed over with his shoulder, knocking the skeletons over.
Li Hongyu had never seen such a brutal and disorganized operation. He was stunned for a moment, then he grasped the knife handle with both hands, pressed down on the skeleton's shoulder and neck with his knees, and inserted the tip of the knife.
The three of them split into three groups and fought in three directions. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. After knowing the weakness of the skeleton, their fighting style became simpler and more brutal, just two words: beheading.
The scabbed wound on Chen Ling's arm broke open, and a little blood oozed out. He didn't bother to check it. He wiped the sweat that had rolled down his eyelids, held the knife, and gasped loudly.
The young man's heavy breathing sounded beside his ears, and Jiang Yu's eyes looked over uncontrollably, stopping on the face that was red due to the intense exercise.
Chen Ling glared at him, "Don't look at me, look ahead."
Jiang Yu calmly reached out and grabbed the skeleton's neck, and reached out with his other hand to pluck the flower from its mouth.
With the fingertips twisting, the bright and juicy Phalaenopsis turned into a small ball of mud and was thrown at the feet. The hand wiped across the young man's forehead, and the crystal sweat stuck to the palm and fingertips, with a warm and wet feeling.
Chen Ling's nervousness was dispelled by the man's agile and natural movements. He cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and looked in the direction of Li Hongyu and Wu Weiwei. The two seemed to be uninjured, but they were as tired and breathless as he was.
"Why don't they attack you?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Jiang Yu groaned, "Because I have no taboos, all evils avoid me."
Evil is anything that is not right.
Mountain spirits have committed sins, and skeletons that are still alive after death are all evil.
While he was thinking, a skeleton jumped down from the branch on the upper right and almost kissed Chen Ling face to face. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold the head, but he couldn't completely restrain the other party like his ancestors did.
The Skeleton's power is unexpectedly great.
Chen Ling pulled his hand away and shouted to Jiang Yu, "Catch him."
Jiang Yu raised his hand and easily held down the skeleton. Chen Ling directly pulled the Phalaenopsis out of its mouth, threw it on the ground and stomped on it twice.
There were not many skeletons left in the woods, so Chen Ling sat cross-legged on the ground. Knowing that Jiang Yu would not let him get into danger, he forced himself to calm his mind, closed his eyes, and clasped his fingers together to form a magic seal.
"Yuqing begins to turn green, the true talisman announces the alliance, pushes the two qi, mixes into one and becomes true, five thunders and five thunders, quickly meet Huang Ning, the mist changes, roars and lightning, hears the call and comes, quickly makes the yang sound, wolf Luo Ju Bin Du, Miao Lu Chun suppresses the evil spirits, hurry up and obey the command!"
The spell poured out from between his lips, and the clear voice was invisibly tinged with a sense of solemnity and richness.
After doing it three times, Chen Ling took out the Five Thunder Talisman, placed it on the fingertips of his closed palms, frowned, opened his teeth and bit the tip of his tongue, blood spurted out and all stained the yellow talisman paper.
Chen Ling knew that he did not have enough ability now, and it was a pipe dream to invite the five thunder gods to help him, so he put his own essence into the talisman, hoping to invite one more. Even if he could not kill the mountain spirit, at least it would be good even if he could just knock it unconscious!
The blood-stained talisman paper was blown by the wind that came from nowhere, making a rustling sound, like a tiny boat in the ocean, yet as indestructible as a rock.
The black clouds gathering on Sifang Mountain became thicker and thicker. In the dead air, the clouds that were originally almost still began to roll violently like waves. Wu Weiwei even heard a rumbling sound circling in the sky.
Kicking the freshly severed skull away, he looked up at the sky.
Purple lightning flashed like a dragon between the dark clouds, and the foggy sky and earth were illuminated by the lightning that disappeared in an instant.
The next second when the light dimmed, lightning that had hidden in the clouds suddenly fell from the sky!
The purple thunder dragon came towards Sifang Mountain swiftly, piercing through the sky and earth. With a loud bang, the southwest direction of the planting area was struck and the land was almost cracked.
Li Hongyu dealt with the last skeleton and looked at Chen Ling in surprise.
The young man's forehead was sweating uncontrollably, his hair at the temples stuck to his skin wetly, his cheeks were flushed red, and veins bulged on the back of his hands as he held the talisman and made a seal.
It can be seen that the use of the Five Thunder Talisman is not easy, but Li Hongyu still admires it.
He clearly realized the gap between himself and Chen Ling. The Five Thunder Talisman required a very high level of Taoism. The gods were high up in the sky, so how easy was it to borrow divine thunder from them? At least for him now, let alone asking for thunder, even drawing the talisman became a problem.
And as far as he knew, there was once an old senior who was good at the art of talismans in Longhu Mountain, but he was over 30 years old before he could summon the five divine thunders. And now Chen Ling is only 20 years old!
This is not just a matter of high talent and strong spiritual power, but also requires the Nine Heavens Gods to be willing to give face to such a junior!
Li Hongyu was terrified, and his gaze towards Chen Ling became more focused. He wanted to see if the young man could get rid of all five divine thunders.
Chen Ling gritted his teeth and held on. His whole body felt numb as if it had been electrocuted, his limbs were sore and numb, and his back felt like it was being pierced by countless needles. He almost couldn't hold back and had to release the hand seal several times.
Jiang Yu frowned slightly, and placed his right palm on the young man's head. The cool temperature of his palm suppressed the tense feeling in Chen Ling's heart.
"Calm down and concentrate. Don't try to hold on. If you can't hold on any longer, release the ten-finger seal." He whispered, "Don't let the thunder talisman backfire."
Chen Ling calmed down strangely.
The thunderstorm overhead surged again, lightning broke through the clouds and struck straight towards somewhere violently.
The ground was shaking and humming.
Chen Ling opened his eyes suddenly, and a cluster of tangled tree roots broke out of the ground and stabbed straight towards his face!
Jiang Yu picked up the sashimi knife with one hand and said, "Just relax and ask Lei to come. Leave the protection to me."
Li Hongyu and Wu Weiwei also ran over with weapons in hand. Before they started attacking, clusters of tree roots emerged from the ground and attacked the humans in unison.
Chen Ling's heart was pounding, his muscles and veins began to ache, and a bloody feeling came out of his chest. He swallowed a few times, suppressed the discomfort, and chanted the spell again.
The tree roots are very purposeful and want to block the arrival of the five thunders. As soon as they get the chance, they will go to where Chen Ling is.
Jiang Yu picked up the knife, chopped off the roots neatly, bit his fingertips, and smeared the blood on the back of the knife.
The ordinary sashimi knife instantly became filled with murderous energy, and the chopped roots fell to the ground with a snap, with green smoke rising, and turned into ashes all the way to the source.
The third thunder fell nearby.
This time, everyone heard Xiao Yang's miserable cry filled with hatred.
Many of the controlled trees in the forest quickly withered and collapsed because their roots were stained with Jiang Yu's blood. Xiao Yang appeared behind one of the trees.
After experiencing three thunders, half of her face was charred black, and the festering flesh made her face look even more hideous and distorted.
She angrily covered her torn face with her hands, her eyes dilated, her eyeballs enlarged, and the bones under her skin began to move again.
Chen Ling was in no mood to continue watching her expression change, and the spell in his mouth became faster and faster. As the four words "I will be here as soon as I hear the call" fell, thunder reappeared!
Xiao Yang dodged in fear, but the lightning seemed to have eyes, following her all the way and striking her head mercilessly.
The scalp was cracked and all the hair was burnt.
She covered her hair frantically. In her fear and anger, she no longer cared about expending more energy to cover it up. She allowed the skin on her face to crack, revealing her true face.
That face was extremely ugly, with a bunch of tiny tree-root-like things entwined together. There was only a black dot the size of the tip of a little finger as a pupil in the white eyeball. The nose was sunken, and when the corners of the lips were stretched, the mouth was as big as a small bowl used for eating!
Under the peeling human skin, her skin was like old tree bark, dry, rough, and covered with dark brown whiskers.
Xiao Yang was trembling all over, his five fingers stretched out and turned into sharp blades, and he rushed towards Chen Ling furiously.
Jiang Yu did not move, but his gaze was like a precise ruler, measuring the distance between the young man and Xiao Yang at all times.
The seals on Chen Ling's hands changed. He pinched the talisman paper with two fingers. When the opponent rushed towards him, he suddenly stood up, stepped on the opponent's knee with his toes, turned over and jumped up, landed behind Xiao Yang, turned around and stuck the talisman paper on the back of Xiao Yang's head.
The last bolt of thunder arrived in an instant, instantly knocking Xiaoyang to his knees.
Xiao Yang's body started to burn, and the lightning and fire spread on her skin inch by inch, but she didn't feel much pain. Her eyes were staring straight into the distance.
There stood a pine tree at that place. Behind the tree, Tang Siping stood there straight, his eyes seemed lifeless, and seemed filled with sorrow and pain.
The thunder and fire died out, and only half of Xiaoyang's body remained intact.
She turned sideways in fear, hugged herself, and murmured, "Don't look at me, you are not allowed to look at me like that!"
Tang Siping couldn't find words to describe his inner feelings at the moment. The only thing in his mind was the scene of his wife's skin cracking and peeling off Xiao Yang's face.
It’s so weird and unbelievable, that’s actually his wife
"When was it..." Tang Siping muttered to himself, stumbling closer.
Xiao Yang screamed, his voice was so sharp that it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman. "I told you to get out, get out! Don't look at me, I'm so ugly, you'll be scared if you look at me..."
"Master Chen, when was my wife... died?" The word "death" was too painful, and Tang Siping found that he couldn't even utter the word completely.
"It should be the day when Tongtong was cut by a fruit knife and fainted in the study." Chen Ling's muscles were tense and his forehead was wet with sweat, but his face looked relaxed and natural.
Jiang Yu glanced at him, reached out and held the young man's arm, "Can you hold on?"
"No problem." Chen Ling nodded and gave a pale smile.
It would have been fine if he hadn't laughed. Once he laughed, Jiang Yu's expression changed. He stuffed the slender sashimi knife back into the young man's hand and said in a semi-commanding tone: "In your current state, it is impossible to use the Five Thunder Spirit Talisman a second time. Use the knife to stab Xiao Yang's forehead. That is where her essence is."
Chen Ling tightened his fingers, lowered his eyes to look at the dark bloodstain on the back of the knife, and did not move.
After hearing Jiang Yu's words, Xiao Yang looked up angrily, but met Tang Siping's resentful eyes.
"Why, why did you want to kill her!" Tang Siping was so sad that he completely forgot that he was looking at a man-eating monster. He grabbed the man's shoulders with both hands and screamed, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
He turned to look at the knife in Chen Ling's hand, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he rushed over and snatched it with both hands.
The knife was stained with the blood of the ancestors and was filled with evil spirit. Tang Siping was already furious, and now affected by the evil spirit, his heart was filled with hatred. He raised the knife high and stabbed it hard towards Xiaoyang's chest.
Xiao Yang felt his heart beat rapidly and a dull pain appeared.
Her essence was not hurt, and the other wounds on her body would heal sooner or later, but she was still very sad. She had been wearing Mrs. Tang's skin and flesh for so long that she felt like she had really become Mrs. Tang.
Tang Siping has a handsome appearance, is humble and polite, and is extremely patient with her.
This was the first time Xiao Yang saw such a hurtful emotion on his face. Her heart ached and she felt unwilling.
She stretched out her hand, her pointed nails shining coldly, and gently fell on Tang Siping's shoulder.
Wu Weiwei was startled and was about to step forward when Li Hongyu pulled him back to his original position.
"I have lived with you for more than two years. Don't you have any feelings for me?" Xiao Yang's face showed an unusual, even crazy eagerness.
She shouted in a sharp and strange voice: "Siping, but I like you. In order not to scare you, I refused to sleep with you. In order not to affect your business, I never dared to hurt any employee in your company! Why do I eat people? Because I want to become a human as soon as possible so that I can live with you forever!"
