The mummy flew into the air, and the Corpse Emperor on the ground finally reacted. A strange smile appeared on his skinny face, and he flicked his finger.
boom!
The mummy exploded directly in the air, with a loud bang, and immediately shattered into pieces. It turned into a black air current and swept towards the surroundings.
The energy gathered from Ma Cheng's mountain slash hit this airflow, and he was evenly matched, and his body somersaulted backwards and landed firmly on the ground.
No trace of running water!
Xiao Chenren was in the air, using the inner energy of Liuyun Three Shadows with a relaxed expression. The scabbard passed in front of him, bringing up streams of soft energy like flowing water, sweeping away the black airflow without leaving a trace.
When the black air flow dissipated, Xiao Chen and Ma Cheng stood together, looking cautiously at the Corpse Emperor in front of them. Although it claimed to be an emperor, it did not have the strength of the Martial Emperor, and was equivalent to the human Martial King realm.
But even so, the King of Martial Arts is not something that two people can deal with, not to mention that this corpse-turned-monster is even weirder and much more powerful than the average King of Martial Arts.
"Since you can survive one of my attacks, I'll let you go, quack, quack, quack." The Corpse Emperor laughed strangely, waved his right hand, and a steady stream of mummies poured out from the ground.
Looking carefully, these mummies are all from the missing miners. They were refined using special techniques and are much stronger than ordinary mummies.
The Corpse Emperor laughed strangely, "Play it slowly, I have to go beforehand, quack quack!"
His body slowly blended into the soil on the ground, and soon disappeared without a trace, but the ground was still as flat as before, without any gaps.
"Earth Escape Technique?" Looking at the way the Corpse Emperor left, Xiao Chen immediately thought of the Earth Escape Technique recorded in the Encyclopedia of Cultivation. The scene in front of him was almost exactly the same as the Earth Escape Technique.
However, he could no longer think about it at this moment. The mummies around him had already rushed over quickly. The narrow mine tunnel was densely filled with hundreds of mummies.
Plop, plop!
Xiao Chen danced the scabbard in his hand to make it airtight, and turned into running water to push back all the mummies that came towards him. He could also help Ma Cheng from time to time.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen remembered something and asked Ma Cheng behind him: "Senior Brother Ma, have you seen Junior Sister Mu?"
Ma Cheng's face was stunned, and then he said strangely: "Yes, where did Junior Sister Mu go, and when did she leave?"
Damn it, Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. After waiting for such a long time, he finally let her leave this place quietly.
Mu Xinya probably took the opportunity to leave when the two of them were attracted by Supervisor Wang.
Ma Cheng kicked one mummy away, sided to avoid the attack of the other mummy, and slashed the other mummy with a knife, making a clanging sound like metal colliding, knocking the mummy back but not splitting it into two ends.
"Junior brother Ye, what should I do? These mummies seem to be invulnerable, and there are too many of them. I'm afraid I can't think of a way. The situation is not good!" Ma Cheng said anxiously.
Xiao Chen was silent and thought carefully about countermeasures. The speed and strength of these mummies were just at the level of ordinary human martial arts masters.
If that was all, with Ma Cheng's cultivation alone, he could easily kill them, and with Xiao Chen, it was no surprise that he could wipe out all these mummies.
But what makes people more troublesome is that the skin of these mummies is like copper and iron bones. When the blade cuts on it, it can only leave a shallow mark. What makes people even more troublesome is that these mummies feel no pain at all.
If you can't repel it, he will ignore the wounds on his body and continue to attack you, which is very troublesome.
Xiao Chen himself could easily get out, but he just didn't want to expose too many of his trump cards in front of Ma Cheng. After all, he didn't have much contact with him, so he had to be on guard against others.
"Come out, Brother Ma, don't hide your clumsiness." Xiao Chen said calmly. He didn't believe that Ma Chenghui, who could complete several tasks in the mine tunnel and escape unscathed, didn't have any trump cards.
The reason why he didn't want to use his trump card was simply to preserve his strength and force Xiao Chen to take action.
There was a trace of embarrassment on Ma Cheng's face, and he smiled bitterly and said: "I'm not really clumsy, but I don't have much confidence. I need Senior Brother Ye to help me later, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted."
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Chen stood with a knife in his left hand, and punched three times with his right hand, easily repelling the three corpses that rushed towards him. His body had been tempered by the seven-leaf flower and had undergone hard training some time ago.
Even if he didn't use his vitality, just relying on the strength of his physical body, a full blow would have a force of more than two thousand kilograms. These mummies were hit by his punch.
There would be slight cracks in the copper-skinned and iron-bone skin, and when it flew backwards, it would knock several mummies behind it to the ground.
Ma Cheng, who was next to him, was shocked when he saw this scene. He couldn't believe that Xiao Chen, a low-level martial artist, could have such strong power.
"I don't know if Senior Brother Ma has any clever tricks that can help him break out of the encirclement immediately. If I need to take action, I'm bound to do it," Xiao Chen said.
Ma Cheng split the two mummies open and said, "I have a large-scale martial arts move that can probably open a path, but it takes a long time to activate. I need Junior Brother Ye to protect me."
"This is no problem." Xiao Chen said.
Using the Qinglong Soaring Cloud Technique, if a green dragon is wandering around Ma Cheng, the scabbard in his hand is used like a stick. The mummy that rushed towards him would immediately fly backwards after being hit by Xiao Chen.
Under Xiao Chen's protection, no mummy could pounce on Ma Cheng within ten meters.
Ma Cheng took a deep breath, a light flashed in his eyes, he suddenly took two steps forward, let out a light drink, and the surrounding spiritual energy rushed toward the blade like running water.
The flowing water breaks the peak!
In the mine tunnel, there was the sound of rushing water, and a river from the sky gathered on Ma Cheng's blade. Ma Cheng's right wrist holding the knife shook slightly, and a wave visible to the naked eye flew towards the surroundings. go.
The mountain-opening sword technique is only a very common sword technique in Tian Dao Pavilion, but few people can practice the ninth posture of Flowing Water and Breaking Peaks. Ma Cheng indeed has his own merits.
Boom!
The mummies flying around were immediately blasted away, and the river water was like a rotten corpse, sending all the mummies in the way flying away.
It’s not over yet, Ning!
The long knife in Ma Cheng's hand suddenly turned, and the scattered river water coalesced back together, and shot out in an instant. All the mummies on the straight line had their chests shot through, and the next moment they fell apart, their bodies shattered into pieces, and the dead could no longer die.
Flowing water breaks the peak, so it turns out that the flowing water is just the prelude, and the final breaking of the peak turns out to be the real killing move, Xiao Chen said thoughtfully.
The two of them seized this opportunity and immediately jumped out of the circle of mummies. The space opened up. The two used their skills to quickly get rid of the mummies behind them.
"Let's go, hurry up and inform Master Ye." Xiao Chen and the two ran towards the headquarters of the eighth floor mine tunnel.
But they didn't go far, but they discovered something incredible. All the miners they met along the way turned into mummies, making the two of them difficult to walk, and every step forward was extremely difficult.
Fortunately, these mummies do not have the physical strength of those mummies just now. With the strength of the two of them, they can easily split these mummies into pieces.
Another mummy rushed towards Xiao Chen desperately. Xiao Chen punched him in the face. The wind of the punch ruffled the hair of the mummy, revealing a pale face.
Xiao Chen's face changed and his hands stopped involuntarily. How could it be him? This mummy was actually the supervisor who begged Xiao Chen for mercy last night. In just one night, his premonition came true.
Including him, all the miners who had completed their five-year term at the end of the month were turned into mummies.
brush!
The moment Xiao Chen was stunned, a sword light struck, splitting the mummy into two halves with a swipe. Ma Cheng said anxiously: "What are you thinking, be careful if you get poisoned by corpse, you will also become a mummy."
Whoops!
Xiao Chen waved two blasts of wind from his palms, blowing aside the black liquid splashed by the mummy. The expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart felt as if it had been stabbed by something, and it hurt extremely.
"Let's go, don't be in a daze." Ma Cheng greeted Xiao Chen quickly when he saw Xiao Chen standing still.
Xiao Chen nodded, tried to calm down the fluctuations in his heart, cheered up and followed Ma Cheng, running quickly towards the headquarters.
More than 2,000 miners in the entire mine tunnel were all turned into mummies. The two of them did not hesitate to take action and rushed forward like a torrent.
It usually only takes ten minutes to travel, but this time it took more than half an hour to reach the headquarters.
But something unexpected happened to the two of them. The dozen or so warriors who usually guarded the headquarters all disappeared. The place was completely empty, not even a single person could be seen.
The huge stone chamber is filled with piles of finished low-level spiritual stones, which are filled with light and almost dazzle people's eyes.
There is a layer of light curtain in front of the door of the stone chamber. Both of them know that this is a special barrier. If you don't have a certificate, you can't enter at all, so there are so many spiritual stones that you can only take a look at.
After a long and arduous journey, neither of them expected such a result. After discussing for a while, they decided to find a place to rest first.
There must be no way back, as it has already been covered with mummies. The two of them killed these mummies with weak methods, and they really didn't want to do it again.
Taking out the map, the two of them chose a relatively remote dead end and prepared to rest there. After arriving at the place marked on the map, the two of them went a long distance before feeling relieved.
Ma Cheng fell to the ground, holding his breath and said: "I have been here for so long, this is the first time I have encountered something like this. This time I may really have reached a dead end."
Xiao Chen slowly calmed down and asked, "Senior Brother Ma, you are knowledgeable. Is there any way to do such a crazy move of turning living people into mummies on such a large scale?"
Ma Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Besides the corpse exorcism sect that has disappeared in Tianwu Continent, I really can't think of any other reasons, but this corpse exorcism sect has disappeared for almost a thousand years."
