Chapter 398: Night of Slaughter (1/2)
The inheritance of Shenhua Old Demon is too tempting for the monks in Tianlan Sea Area.
Even if you know that the conditions for breaking the seal are seven elixirs, even if you know that Shenhua Mountain is dangerous, thousands of monks will still come here every time the Shenhua incident occurs.
These casual cultivators in the Tianlan Sea Area have not given up their desire for the opportunity of Shenhua Mountain, and the big forces in the Tianlan Sea Area have not given up either.
In other words, it is precisely because the big forces did not give up that the casual cultivators will remember the inheritance of Tianlan Sea Area and Shenhua Mountain again and again.
Their conspiracy and calculation, overtly or covertly, lasted for hundreds, thousands of years, or even longer, all for the inheritance of Shenhua Mountain.
So what is the arrangement made by the owner of Longjing Island?
How can he break the seal set by the old devil Shenhua, a man infinitely close to immortality, with his life?
Qin Ran looked at the black-clothed monks who disappeared into the darkness with knives, and thought about this matter.
What's hidden in that formation? What are these black monks going to do?
Qin Ran closed his eyes and felt that the soul mark he left on Tie Ruonan's map was still very clear. Without hesitation, he followed the direction of the mark.
The Primordial Soul Mark was walking down Shenhua Mountain at a very fast speed. It could be seen that Tie Ruonan was in a galloping state. And this galloping state lasted for a short time, and suddenly stopped without warning and began to shake in place. It can be known that Tie Ruonan stopped halfway up Shenhua Mountain.
Qin Ran increased his speed slightly and flew towards the direction where Tie Ruonan stopped.
Still far away from that place, suddenly the sea breeze blew up from the bottom of the mountain. When Qin Ran smelled it, he could smell the fishy smell of the sea and the smell of blood in the wind.
"Oh! Sure enough..." Qin Ran was not surprised at all when he smelled the smell of blood.
He had just seen the murderous look of the group of men in black, and he actually knew what they were going to do at night.
It’s a murderous night with a dark moon and high wind!
kill!
"What's the purpose of killing people?" Qin Ran thought as he used the movement skill "Time Past" to hide himself in the air, and continued to touch the direction where the smell of blood came from, "Does the arrangement of the owner of Dragon Whale Island require a corpse? ? A corpse, a dead soul? Or blood?
"But once a monk dies, the spiritual energy in his Dantian will automatically dissipate? The corpse of a monk whose spiritual energy has dissipated is not much different from the corpse of an ordinary person. Why should a monk be specifically brought in to kill him?"
He thought about it and suddenly realized that there was a kind of monk's spiritual energy in the Tianhai region that did not exist in the Dantian, but in the body and muscles! Even if you die, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be locked in the physical body...unless the physical body is also corrupted.
That is...the body refiner!
"Could it be that we only kill the body refiners?" He continued his analysis and kept walking, "Is it using the monk's corpse as a memorial? Or a formation? Or a magic weapon? Or some kind of strange spell or magical power?"
After thinking about it, he had reached something close, squatting on the top of a tall treetop, and saw a fierce battle still going on in the darkness in front of him.
And sure enough, as he analyzed, it was a battle between body refiners and body refiners.
It was Tie Ruonan who was holding a sword and fighting hand-to-hand with three monks who were either holding swords or empty-handed.
Kieran continued to look, and even though he used his pupil technique, he could still only see that the person in black clothes and holding a knife was Tie Ruonan, but he could not see her specific appearance and figure.
"Did you use any method to hide your identity?" He nodded secretly, "That's reasonable."
That Tie Ruonan was really powerful. Even though they were one against three, she was not at a disadvantage at all.
Not only that, Qin Ran clearly saw that there were two corpses lying on the ground, both with stab wounds on their bodies, the monks who had been hacked to death by Tie Ruonan.
There were three other monks with severed arms and legs. They were probably Qi practitioners and fell to the ground groaning. They had no fighting power.
The stab wounds of these people were all on their backs. It is conceivable that Tie Ruonan started with a sneak attack. She first made a sneak attack, slashing and slashing two body trainers to death, then she got close in an instant and destroyed three of them. Finally, she confronted the three living body trainers head-on.
There was actually a gap in strength between the two sides of the battle. Not long after the close-quarters battle, the three body refiners were also hacked to death by Tie Ruonan.
Qin Ran squatted on the treetop far away. Seeing how ferocious Tie Ruonan was, and thinking about how many times this woman had seduced him, he felt a chill in his heart.
After the battle over there, Tie Ruonan took care of his wounds a little, then tied up the still alive but crippled Qi practitioner, and then tied up the dead monk as well. Then she carried three living Qi practitioners with one hand and five dead body practitioners with the other hand, and returned along the original path.
Qin Ran watched, suppressing the chill in his heart, Gujing Bubo returned to normal, and continued to think:
It seems to be similar to what he thought before. Body refiners only need corpses, because all their cultivation is in the flesh; but Qi practitioners need to be alive, because dead Qi practitioners are not much different from ordinary people. .
...This cannot be said to say that Qi practitioners are better than body practitioners, because we don’t know how they will be treated after being brought back.
Qin Ran followed Tie Ruonan back to the formation place from a distance. He could see that other black-clothed monks whose faces could not be seen had returned. However, the prey they went out this time was only one or two, which were far inferior to Tie Ruonan's. Ruonan is so exaggerated.
They gathered outside the formation place, all silent. They had a strange tacit understanding, and it was obvious that they had done this kind of thing many times.
After a short wait, everyone who had gone out came back. Tie Ruonan counted the number of people. After confirming that they were correct, the group disappeared into the formation together.
"Such an honest killing..." Qin Ran continued to analyze, "After so many years, has no one noticed anything unusual?
"It stands to reason that killing so many people at once means that everyone knows there is a problem nearby. In addition, other forces may also be killing secretly, and there is no telling how many people will die in a Shenhua Mountain incident. However, the entire Tianlan Sea Area No one seemed to see anything was wrong.”
He rubbed his brows, feeling that he didn't quite understand the current situation.
Is it because a lot of people die every time, and then more people die, and they continue to die, and it is regarded as normal?
Qin Ran waited for a while, but didn't see Tie Ruonan and others coming out again.
"Only one kill a night?"
He understood a little bit. If he only killed a few people or a dozen people every night, then among the tens of thousands of people in the entire Shenhua Mountain, it seemed that they would not be that conspicuous. In addition, the time for action should be as short as possible...
Sure enough, Qin Ran waited outside the formation place all night, and Tie Ruonan and others did not act again.
It wasn't until the day passed the next day and night fell again that the team in black appeared again.
Qin Ran hid here and waited for a day and night. When he saw them skillfully dispersed in the darkness, he no longer followed Tie Ruonan, but randomly selected a monk in black and followed him.
This brother was probably a second-level body refiner. He was sneaking in the darkness with a knife and found no trace of Qin Ran.
He was walking along the road on the mountain. After walking for a short time, he saw a blazing bonfire on a huge rock on the edge of the cliff from a distance. There were five male or female monks surrounding the bonfire.
Seeing this, he didn't hesitate at all, holding the knife... he turned around and took a long way around the five people, and continued walking up the mountain from the forest.
After walking for a while, he finally found the goal of his trip. A body builder sitting on a tree and resting with a sword in his arms.
He remained calm and quietly approached with the knife in hand. He approached the tree and suddenly jumped up, striking the monk on the tree with a sword.
Few people could sense this sudden sneak attack in the darkness.
Who would have expected...
"Waiting for you!"
The monk on the tree reacted, or in other words, he was prepared. He opened his eyes with a "swipe" sound, and the sword in his arms was instantly unsheathed. The sword light split the darkness, and the sword energy was faintly visible. With a "dang" sound, the sword light split the black-clothed monk's sword light.
The sword-wielding monk didn't stop at all. After slashing the black-clothed monk's middle door wide open, he stabbed him in the chest with his sword.
"You night walkers are getting more and more arrogant. Do you even dare to take action?!" The sword-wielding monk's cold snort reached Qin Ran's ears.
He was watching the battle not far away and saw the black-clothed monk narrowly avoiding the sword-wielding monk's sword, then turning the sword around and engaging in a fierce battle with the sword-wielding monk.
The swords met each other, and the sound of intensive sword collisions sounded in the darkness; countless sparks could be seen flying around.
Although the sword-wielding man is very strong and can touch the edge of the sword energy, the sword-wielding monk in black can be sent by the owner of Dragon Whale Island to do such a thing, so his strength is obviously not weak... The most important thing is Yes, he has been killing people for a long time, and his fighting style is bloody and begging for death.
So the two of them fought, and there was a fierce stalemate for a while.
"Nightwalker?" Qin Ran thought it was appropriate when he thought about what this group of men in black did, "It turns out that the monks in Shenhua Mountain knew something about this kind of secretly hunting monks, and they even had a special name for it." This nightwalker The reporter has encountered a hard problem now, and I don’t know how he will deal with it. "
Body builders of equal strength were fighting in close quarters, and the swords were touching each other, which was very dangerous. In addition, it was in the dark, and the blades were cold, which made it even more dangerous.
In the darkness, the sound of swords clashing became faster and faster, like a thousand drums beating at the same time, which made Qin Ran's scalp numb. Another blood spattered out, and the blood was slashed here by the sword, light, and sword energy, making him feel wet on his face.
In this thrilling moment, when the two of them seemed to be deciding the winner, a fire suddenly shone from the other side of the forest, and there was noise again. There were monks holding torches and jumping up and down on the trees over there, rushing towards this side. come over.
Qin Ran turned around quickly and knew that they were the five people who were on the boulder just now. They noticed the fighting here and ran over to watch the excitement.
He looked at both sides of the battle again, and they were still fighting fiercely. He used the pupil technique "Illusion World" and could see clearly that there were many wounds on both of them. The wounds were bleeding and the bones were visible.
"Nightwalker, how would you deal with this situation?" Qin Ran opened and closed his right hand, and the Water Flower Pearl appeared in it.
The bloom beads condensed water vapor, extended to both ends, and slowly turned into a sword.
Both sides of the battle also saw several people rushing towards this side, so in an instant, the energy and blood in Night Walker's body suddenly rioted, and his combat power instantly increased by more than 70%. Fight with the sword-wielding man in the way of fate.
"Elixir?" Qin Ran could tell that Night Walker must have had the elixir in his mouth in advance to deal with such unexpected situations. And his elixir must be the kind of elixir that is only used to enhance combat power without any regard for physical damage.
Either live or die!
However, the sword-wielding man did have some strength. Even if Night Walker was 70% stronger, he still wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.
Qin Ran turned around and saw the torch getting closer...
"Can't wait any longer!" he said softly.
"Feixian asked!"
With a flash of his body, he came behind Night Walker in an instant. While Night Walker was in the middle of a fierce battle with the sword-wielding man and had no time to defend, he cut off his head with a sword.
The pressure of the sword-wielding man on the verge of death suddenly disappeared. He opened his eyes and saw the sword cultivator who suddenly appeared and killed the night walker. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was saved and survived.
He hurriedly said, "Thank you! Thank you for saving my life."
Qin Ran smiled at him and replied, "You're welcome!"
Then he raised his sword and slashed at the sword-wielding man's head.
The sword-wielding man was startled and hurriedly defended with his sword. He spun the sword in his hand and cut off Qin Ran's sneak attack.
However, he had just fought desperately and was already at the end of his strength. He suddenly relaxed. This sword was his "last ripple".
Qin Ran suddenly flashed, and the broken sword was reborn and inserted into the heart of the sword-wielding man.
The sword-wielding man lost his strength instantly. He looked at Qin Ran in confusion, wondering why he wanted to kill him.
Qin Ran would not explain to him. For safety, he cut off the sword-wielding man's sword hand and then casually inserted the sword in his hand into the sword-wielding man's brain.
He looked back at this time, and the Boulder Squad was quite close to this place.
The sword inserted into the sword-wielding man's brain melted and turned into water, then turned back into the form of a bead and jumped back into Qin Ran's body.
Then Qin Ran held two corpses in one hand and performed the flying fairy. After a few flashes, he disappeared in the swaying shade of the trees.
From a distance, he vaguely heard someone say: "That seems to be the young island master of the Evil Shark Island..."
"Young island master?" He immediately understood, "No wonder he has such fighting power and knows that the night walker is called the night walker. It's not unfair for him to die."
Qin Ran stopped after running quite far. He searched the things on the night walker and found that there was nothing except an identity token with a giant whale printed on it.
He thought about it, took off his clothes and put them on himself. Then he found that this piece of clothing was a magic weapon with the function of hiding his body.
He took the night walker's knife again and performed "Water has no mutual generation", sucking all the water out of the night walker's body, turning it into bones, and then smashed it into pieces with the knife.
"I should get some corpse powder. It's very inconvenient to deal with corpses."
As he thought, he picked up the body of the sword-wielding man and transformed himself into a night walker. His body also transformed into corresponding wounds according to the shape of the wound on his clothes. Then, he stretched out his body and rushed to the formation.
