The warriors in the upper room of the inn can be considered as martial arts experts to some extent, some of them are first-rate masters like the one-armed mad swordsman Du Heng and the fierce knight Li Tongzhou, who have made a name for themselves in the martial arts world. Even though they were talking before, they were actually not distracted and their hearing was very sharp.
Just as we were talking, we heard a slight noise on the roof, which was immediately noticed by everyone.
“Crackle…Crackle…Crackle…”
It's the sound of stepping on snow, or there may be other sounds mixed in.
It was extremely cold in Jinzhou Fudi at this time. Not only was the temperature outside extremely low, but it also snowed frequently. The snow on the roof of the inn was at least one foot thick, and it would make a crackling sound when you stepped on it.
Du Heng's grip on the knife became tighter and tighter, and the veins on his back began to bulge, showing that he was not that calm.
A warrior with the best hearing nearby listened carefully, and then he stretched out one finger from his clenched fist, then two, three, four...
At the end, use your little finger and thumb to make a number gesture to tell your partner that there are seven different sounds above.
It's self-evident what the situation is.
Several warriors nodded to each other, and two of them quietly walked to the big beds, stretched out their hands and used their internal energy to wake up their sleeping companions one by one, even the four who were poisoned.
The seven people who fell asleep obviously had already had an idea of what was going on before going to bed, and had similar plans among themselves, so when they woke up, they didn't make any noise. Just by looking at the situation in the house, they knew that "it's happening again."
The few people who had just woken up took out their weapons from the bedside and lifted the quilts. They all slept with their clothes on, and some of them cheered themselves up or forced themselves to get out of bed.
Du Heng pointed to the table, on which there were many torches and a cloth bundle.
Thousands of warriors threw torches to their companions one by one and opened the cloth bag at the same time. Inside were sheep bladders filled with liquid. The liquid inside was shiny black and red, which was black dog blood mixed with kerosene.
There were a total of eleven warriors, some of whom were poisoned, injured, or looked exhausted. At this moment, their expressions became excited. Even though everyone's scalp was tingling and their faces looked ugly, some of them still had a sneer on their lips.
Although these "trump cards" have not been used yet, they are sure to give those inhuman, ghost, and immortal creatures a hard time.
During this trip to eradicate the evil woman, many friends in the martial arts world have suffered at her hands. Although they are afraid, they also have deep hatred in their hearts. They can no longer count on the government, and in the end they can only fight to the death on their own.
However, there were not many sheep urinals filled with a mixture of black dog blood and kerosene, only four in total. The four masters each held one in their arms. Except for Du Heng, the others all prepared weapons in one hand and torches in the other, and gathered around several charcoal stoves to start a fire at any time.
All these preparations may seem cumbersome, but in fact they only take four or five breaths.
Everything was ready at this moment, and everyone tried to hold their breathing down, but the feeling of nervousness was getting stronger and stronger. Everyone knew that it would be better to maintain normalcy or continue chatting to numb the other person, but they couldn't do it.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the corridor again, and two waiters walked out of the door, each carrying two buckets full of boiling water.
"Sir, the hot water is here."
“Knock, knock, knock…”
"Sir, please open the door. The hot water is here. We are carrying four buckets. Please open the door."
Everyone in the room was nervous, so naturally no one would wash up at this time, but the waiter couldn't ignore it.
Du Heng lowered his voice and spoke to his friend.
"Go and send the waiter away quickly."
If the group was not in such a bad condition and needed care, it would be best to find an empty courtyard to stay in, but there was no such place in this small county town, and going out into the wild was even more unbearable.
The roads in Jinzhou are now blocked by heavy snow, and all the merchants and travelers have left before winter. The inn in this small county town is the most deserted and least crowded place.
The warrior with obvious dark circles under his eyes walked up to the door and spoke to the outside.
"Put the hot water in the corridor, we will bring it in later."
After saying this, the two waiters outside looked at each other, but seemed reluctant to leave.
Because these guests who were trapped here by the snow and wind were generous, they paid them enough money to buy medicine for them, and they often got some benefits. They also gave them money for doing things like boiling water in the middle of the night.
You can leave, but you can still give me the reward!
"Uh, sir, it might be inconvenient for you in the middle of the night, so we'd better help you carry it in!"
"Yes, yes, this water is very hot and heavy!"
Two waiters were dawdling outside.
"Oh, if I tell you to put it down, just put it down. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
After hearing the roar from inside, the two people outside curled their lips at each other and uttered a reluctant word.
"Okay, let's put it outside for you gentlemen. It's so cold in the middle of the night, be careful that the water gets cold."
"Let's go, let's go back to sleep..."
The two men shouted a few times outside, but no sound of footsteps came into the house, so it was obvious that they had not left yet.
Even Du Heng was getting anxious now. He suddenly realized something and whispered to his companions, "Give them some money!"
His companions also suddenly realized it.
"You really just want money!"
After cursing softly, he was about to open the door, but another warrior beside him stopped him and shook his head. Now the other people in the room also felt that something was wrong.
"Hey, I forgot to give you the tip. Is it still there?"
No one answered from outside.
“Bang…”
There was a sound of a bucket overturning outside. Several warriors subconsciously looked towards the door and saw steaming hot water seeping in through the crack in the door, followed by a touch of bright red.
Several warriors looked at each other and kicked the door hard together.
"Bang~"
The door of the inn was kicked out along with the door frame, and hit the door opposite with a bang.
Looking outside the door, I saw two waiters lying on the ground. One had a big hole in his chest, and the other was so scared that he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over and peeing all over.
A black shadow dodged when the door panel was smashing down. It was a pregnant woman with a pale face but beautiful appearance. Her eyes were pitch black with two blood-red pupils.
All the warriors got goosebumps.
"Witch!"
"Come and die! Drink~~~"
Du Heng suddenly jumped up and swung his sword, his body moving like a gust of wind as he slashed towards the evil woman, the blade's energy even glowing red.
"Dang...Dang...Dang..."
The blade slashed on the woman's fingernails, creating a string of sparks. Du Heng moved very quickly, and the woman also looked like a ghost, fighting with Du Heng.
Du Heng's knife was fierce, and there was a kind of knife energy hidden in it that could make her feel threatening. However, in this situation, it was unclear whether to say that the woman was entangled with Du Heng or Du Heng was entangled with the woman.
“Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…” “Bang…”…
The roofs were broken one after another, and children wearing new cotton-padded jackets rushed into the inn and pounced on the warriors below.
"Be careful!" "Get out of the way!"
"Light the torches!"
The warriors quickly waved their weapons and dodged in all directions, then found the right moment to light the torches in their hands.
This inhuman creature is not only extremely fast, but also has extremely sharp nails. If you are not careful, you may be ripped open. It also carries a strange and deadly poison, so even a small injury can be very troublesome.
Fortunately, these things are straightforward and don't require any martial arts moves, so these masters can deal with them after getting used to them. If the opponents were not becoming increasingly difficult to "kill", they would have been crushed long ago.
"when…"
“Dang…” “Dang…” “Dang…”
“Bang…” “Bang…”
During the fight, the door and wall of the inn's room had been kicked open, and the battle between the warrior and the ghost child took place in this slightly narrow space, which was more beneficial to the warrior and prevented the ghost child from coming and going in a flash.
Li Tongzhou is indeed a great master. Even though his skills are less than half of his prime, his vision is still there. When he saw a companion blocking the attack of a ghost child, he swung the sword with his left hand to block the ghost child, then swung the torch in his right hand, and with a "bang" it hit the ghost child that had just been blocked by his companion.
The ghost boy and Mars were beaten and lost their original trajectory.
“Well done!”
Another warrior immediately took out a sheep's bladder from his arms and smashed it hard on the ghost boy.
“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…”
A sizzling sound, like cold water being poured on a hot iron pan, was immediately heard.
"ah… "
A child's scream suddenly rang out, causing the eardrums of the surrounding warriors to feel stinging.
"Damn, black dog blood really works! Burn him to death!"
At the same time, at least three warriors swung their torches fiercely and threw them at the ghost child who was covered in a mixture of black dog blood and kerosene. Even if the inn was burned down, they could pay for it later, but they couldn't care less now.
"Bang", "Bang", "Bang"
Because the ghost boy was corroded and burned by the black dog's blood, he was hit by all three torches.
Boom! Suddenly a big fire started.
“Ah…ah…”
An unusual scream seemed to scare the other ghost children, and they stopped attacking for a while.
“Hahahahahaha…I’ll burn you to ashes, let’s see how you can come back to life now, hahahaha…”
"Great!" "Great!"
The morale of the other warriors was greatly boosted.
"my child!"
"Witch, you'll be accompanying it soon!"
The woman screamed in surprise, but Du Heng did not stop his sword skills. He shouted loudly to disturb the other party's mind.
"Heheheheheheheh… "
After the woman exclaimed, she suddenly laughed coldly, but her voice was full of hatred.
"I have underestimated you heroes. I have won the heart of you, Hero Du!"
As the woman spoke, she retreated a few times like a ghost to distance herself from Du Heng. The latter was holding the knife, breathing and adjusting himself, and was in no hurry to catch up.
"Humph, that depends on whether you, a temptress like you, have the ability to do so!"
At this time, the warriors over there exclaimed again.
"What the hell?"
"not dead!?"
After the ghost child was burned, his clothes and body were burned beyond recognition, but he did not die. Instead, he turned into a black and gray shadow, and one could even vaguely see the scenery behind him through it.
Then the black ash on his body gradually fell off, and the ghost boy's body became lighter and lighter until it could no longer be seen.
The weird thing was that the crying sound of “Wow…Ah…” was still there, making everyone even more horrified.
“Hehehehe… You, the chivalrous men of Jianghu, have ruined my practice time and again. Now that things have come to this, at worst I can cultivate this skill again, but everyone in Tingshui County must die tonight!”
The woman gnashed her teeth as her voice rang. The bodies of the other ghost children also began to crack. The feeling of their flesh and bones falling off made the warriors' hands and feet cold, and for a moment they were at a loss.
No matter why these inhuman, inhuman creatures didn't use this trick before, how can they be fought if they can't see
At this moment, a warm breeze blew through the corridor of the inn.
"Oh? You're quite arrogant!"
A moderate, peaceful, yet deep and powerful voice came from afar. As the voice arrived, a person appeared in the corridor of the inn, standing next to the waiter who was so scared that he was shitting and pissing.
The man was dressed in a white shirt, with his hair loosely tied up with a black jade hairpin inserted on his head. His pair of pale eyes were particularly eye-catching.
Ji Yuan lowered his head to glance at the waiter, then looked at the woman and the ghost children.
"Mr. Ji!"
Du Heng's cry was full of surprise. When he saw Ji Yuan, his heart was relieved.
Ji Yuan nodded at him, took a step forward and appeared beside the first few warriors. With a wave of his sleeves, the seven transparent children were blown directly to the side of the woman, and at the same time, they were also close to the woman and the group of ghost children.
"What the hell are you? You're neither human nor ghost nor demon nor monster. Nine-child Ghost Mother? That doesn't look like you... Who taught you this evil method?"
Ji Yuan stood there and looked at the woman calmly. He could naturally tell that this was not some old witch who had lived for hundreds of years.
The woman had no idea how Ji Yuan came. In fact, if she couldn't see the person in front of her, it would seem that he was not there. She couldn't help but slowly step back, knowing that she might have met a master.
"kill him!"
The woman did not answer. She ordered the ghost boy to pounce on Ji Yuan, and then turned and ran away.
The other warriors and Du Heng were just about to remind Ji Yuan to be careful when they saw Ji Yuan gently blow out a thin stream of red-gray smoke from his mouth.
"Huh..."
The smoke cleared and the ghost children that the seven warriors could not see reappeared, but this time they were like paper figures on fire, turning into ashes the moment the fire lit up, and they could not even utter a scream.
"Being reduced to ashes by my Samadhi True Fire is a sign of respect for you!"
