He knew that the shepherd was coming for him, and all the people at Tianyuan Shrine died because of him.
And if he hadn't brought Su Anran and Song Jue back, I'm afraid that the people in Linshanzhuang would also die in a short time.Because in Linshanzhuang's situation, even if it is stronger than Tianyuan Shrine, it is still limited, and it is impossible to stop the full attack of the 24-string monster.
What's more, in the 24 strings, although the shepherd's individual strength is not strong, if he only talks about the ability to attack cities and fortresses, he can definitely squeeze into the top five.
So like now, Cheng Zhong still feels quite guilty for bringing Su Anran and Song Jue into the shepherd together.
Su Anran naturally noticed all the changes in Cheng Zhong's mentality.
Such a person is not inherently bad.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he was able to obtain the approval of Thunder Knife.
After all, "Lei Wei" in the island country belongs to the righteous gods of "Tianwei", and only those with a righteous heart can get the inheritance and recognition of relevant parties—unlike a river that claims to be extremely polluted as long as the bowl is dried. The dirty water scooped out can be recognized by the gods. Before the god of thunder and lightning was absorbed by the Buddhist mythology system and evolved again, his vicious side made him not care about his power. people borrowed.
"It's okay." Su Anran also said, "It's enough for you to rest here, and leave the rest to us."
"You..." Cheng Zhong was stunned.
"These soul-eating dogs?" Su Anran ignored Cheng Zhong, but looked at Song Jue.
Zhenyuanzong is not famous in the mysterious world for its thunder method, but for its five elements and yin and yang methods, which take into account the cultivation of martial arts.
Although Song Jue's sword-drawing technique was a yin-type technique mixed with the yin-yang system, and it was targeted against these soul-devouring dogs, but with such a large number of soul-devouring dogs, Su Anran was naturally more talkative. ask a question.
Unexpectedly, Song Jue rolled his eyes directly: "Although I like drawing swords, have you forgotten my real origin?"
Su Anran smiled embarrassedly: "Then I will leave these soul-devouring dogs to you."
"Okay." Song Jue said bluntly.
"I'll come as soon as I go." Su Anran waved her hand.
Song Jue didn't reply, but quickly made a tactic with both hands, and in an instant, a large amount of black mist spread around her body.
Yin method·All souls are shattered.
The black mist spread out at an astonishing speed, and before all the soul-devouring dogs could react, those soul-devouring dogs at the front fell into the black mist's range in an instant.
There was no wailing or screaming.
For almost all the soul-devouring dogs contaminated by the black mist, the red light in their eyes disappeared instantly, and then fell directly to the ground, lifeless.
At this moment, subtle panic began to spread.
Almost all the soul-devouring dogs ran away like crazy, no matter how the shepherd controlled them, they couldn't stop this collapse.
All the soul devouring dogs are out of control!
"Impossible!" The shepherd's calm and indifferent expression finally changed again.
"Why is it impossible?" A soft whisper suddenly sounded from behind the shepherd.
Subconsciously, the shepherd froze for a moment, obviously not reacting.
He looked sideways for Su Anran who was standing not far from Song Jue a second ago.
But at this time, there was no Su Anran beside Song Jue.
Until then, the shepherd seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly jumped forward.
It was another quick movement that was completely different from his aged figure.
Smooth and natural.
There is no trace of jerky at all.
It was as if it had been practiced countless times before.
only……
After falling to the ground with a forward pounce, the shepherd still felt a stabbing pain in his chest.
His heart had been pierced through at some point!
And the violent tumbling movement at that moment just now undoubtedly accelerated the speed of his blood loss, and a large amount of black blood spread all over the ground with his movements.
"how can that be?!"
"Why is it impossible?" Su Anran's voice sounded again.
The shepherd looked up.
I saw the icy sword light flashing away.
The next moment, his head flew high.
Chapter 212 Demon?monster!
The body fell to the ground.
The owl's head fell from the sky and rolled several times on the ground, covered with countless dust.
The shepherd's face showed a shocking and inexplicable look. Obviously, he himself did not expect such an end at all.
In fact, if it weren't for Su Anran and Song Jue, with his domain ability, he could indeed consume Cheng Zhong to death—with the power that the majestic Lei Guang needs to consume, even if Cheng Zhong does not hesitate to kill him, At most, he can only shoot five to six times, and then he will die due to exhaustion of vitality.
It was also Cheng Zhong's deeds that made Su Anran understand why He Lianpo, the owner and priest of Linshan Villa before, was like a candle in the wind even though he was not even half a century old.
It turned out that this happened because the foundation was seriously damaged due to excessive consumption of vitality.
This kind of problem that hurts the foundation, even if it is in the mysterious world, is almost equivalent to a terminal illness - the background of the above-mentioned sect, and the power and resources of the entire sect may be able to recover, but at most it can only Rescue one person, and the entire sect is basically declared shattered—not to mention the world of demons.
Therefore, if it wasn't for the shepherd who didn't look through the almanac when he went out, Cheng Zhong would have been determined by his strength alone.
Unfortunately, there are no ifs in the world.
So the shepherd's heart was broken and his head moved.
A large number of soul-eating dogs fled in all directions, the red light in their eyes gradually disappeared, and they fell to the ground like puppets that had lost their power.
Their flesh quickly turned into a puddle of foul-smelling black mud, without any skeletons.
The dark and lightless world of Yin also gradually dissipated.
It's just that at this time, the outside world has also begun to enter the darkest time, so even if the underworld begins to dissipate, it will no longer be bright.
The only thing that counted was the horrible atmosphere that was so cramped and depressing that it was almost breathless, and it disappeared immediately.
Cheng Zhong looked at all this with disbelief.
"This……"
He looked at Song Jue beside him, not understanding what Song Jue did just now.
Then I looked at Su Anran again, and couldn't understand why Su Anran, whose aura was weaker than himself, was able to kill a shepherd who was one of the 24 strings. He was a big monster equivalent to a general of a demon hunter!
Even if the demon-suppressing stone of Tianyuan Shrine has not been polluted, the demon-clearing effect in the shrine can still suppress the shepherd, at most it will only slightly reduce his individual strength, and it is impossible to suppress his other abilities at all, after all Priest Zhao who was sitting in the center had their heads removed.
Therefore, Cheng Zhong really couldn't understand.
As everyone knows, the shepherd's physical strength is not very strong, and it is purely relying on the soul-devouring dogs in the domain to run wild, and it happens that Su Anran, who is known for his lethality, can be overwhelmed to death by Jian Xiu.
The weakened effect of the demon-cleaning area is just enough to reduce the hardness of the shepherd's body to the level that Su Anran can also cause damage-to put it simply, it can break the defense.
As for the domain ability that cannot be suppressed, it is actually because of the limited effect of the shepherd's domain [Ranch]: if there is a war of attrition, let alone Su Anran only has one person, even if there are ten more, it may not help.After all, no one knows how long the shepherd has been famous, how many people he killed using this domain, and how many evil spirits are stored in the domain.
Just looking at the waves of soul-devouring dogs, if there were not tens of thousands of people, Su Anran would definitely not believe it.
But what the shepherd didn't expect was that Song Jue's spells might have crushed his soul-devouring dog to death.
Yin-yang spells, since the word "yin-yang" is used, there are naturally spells aimed at this kind of soul-killing - in the history of the development of the mysterious world, there are such things as gods and ghosts, deduction and divination, feng shui kanyu, etc. Spells can all be classified into the category of Yin-Yang Spells.So let alone targeting ghosts and the like, even if the shepherd can create creatures like zombies, Song Jue still has the means to deal with them.
Of course, the lethality of the Yin-Yang method in dealing with ghosts and living corpses is naturally inferior to the two major thunder methods, but it is more comprehensive in its methods.
Glancing at Cheng Zhong, who was stunned beside him, Song Jue walked towards Su Anran, her eyebrows frowned.
Su Anran looked at Song Jue, saw the solemn expression on the other party's face, and immediately said, "You can feel it too."
"En." Song Jue nodded.
"That doesn't seem to be my illusion." Su Anran took a breath, and her eyes fell on the headless shepherd again.
Although there is not too much evil spirit in the surrounding air——the demon-cleaning area laid down by the demon-eliminating rope can suppress the demon to a large extent because the demon-eliminating rope has the ability to cleanse and eliminate The effect of monster energy, which can naturally play a certain weakening role for monsters who strengthen their own strength by absorbing monster energy-but there is still a unique smell of monsters that has not really dissipated.
Su Anran and Song Jue didn't know what the smell referred to before, but they didn't know the source of the smell until Cheng Zhong revealed that there was a demon hidden in Tianyuan Shrine.Therefore, the stench still exists at this time, and Su Anran and Song Jue will show such a dignified expression.
Perhaps for Cheng Zhong, this smell of monsters that has faded a lot is the proof of the shepherd's death.
You must know that the judgment criteria of Su Anran and Song Jue are not as superficial as the unique demon hunters in this world: the unique smell of demons has indeed become much weaker, but the smell has been continuously continuing Distributed, but it didn't end just because of the death of the shepherd.
You know, the death of those soul-eating dogs turned into a puddle of stinky pus in an instant.
But if you observe carefully from the beginning, you can find that the death of the soul-devouring dogs that died with the death of the shepherd is completely different from those killed by Song Jue at the beginning.If we must make it clear, it is that the soul-devouring dog that has turned into pus looks more like it has lost the ability to survive after the domain supernatural power is released, so it has been transformed into the most primitive "raw material" instead of It was only after the magic power was interrupted that it was completely shattered.
There is an essential difference between the two.
Of course, the most important point is that Su Anran and Song Jue are both cultivators from the Mysterious Realm. They know the specific power of the ability of "Domain". What will become of the field.
"The heart was destroyed, and the head was cut off. Can you still live like this?"
Song Jue looked at Su Anran with doubts in his eyes.
It's just that she wasn't really stupid enough to say this, but communicated with Su Anran through spiritual communication.
The heart is the source of qi and blood.
The cultivators of the Mysterious Realm start from the energy-gathering state where they build up their strength, go to the Shenhai state where they start to grow their spiritual consciousness, and then step into the Tongqiao state where the viscera are condensed. Marrow exchange blood" these eight words.
And the most important thing is naturally the heart.
Even Su Anran, who became a monk on the way, knows this common sense.
Therefore, in the cognition of the mysterious world, no matter whether it is a human being or a monster race, before the second soul is condensed, as long as the heart is destroyed or the body is separated, it will be impossible to die. I can't save him either.
And what happened to the shepherd?
The heart was not only pierced by Su Anran's sword, but also crushed by the infiltrated sword energy, and even his head was chopped off.
How can I live with the foundation of my life gone? !
Even if the Shepherd is one of the 24 strings, equivalent to a cultivator in the Soul Condensation Stage of the Mysterious Realm, but the demons in the demon world do not have dharma appearances and second spirits, and it is impossible to survive facing such heavy losses.
Previously, Su Anran, as Song Jue thought, also did not think that the shepherd could still live.
But if he is the only one who feels that something is wrong, it can be said to be an illusion, and it is his own suspicion.
But even Song Jue said that...
Su Anran's eyes couldn't help becoming serious again.
But in the next second, he suddenly realized something.
He made a gesture with both hands together, and there was a cyclone circling around his fingertips.
Then move forward a little.
The cyclone sword flew out, and shot towards the head of the shepherd who rolled to the ground.
"Damn!"
The shepherd's head, which was originally horrified, jumped up by itself, dodging the sword energy released by Su Anran.
After the shepherd's head jumped into the air, his ears swelled and enlarged instantly, turning into a pair of wings, flapping wildly.And the originally old and ugly face, like a melting candle, melted and dripped bit by bit, revealing a beautiful young female face.
"What is this?" Song Jue finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
"Flying headman." Su Anran said in a deep voice, "This is a monster!"
He didn't expect that he would make an empiricist mistake and almost fail in success!
Su Anran cursed secretly in her heart.
The demons of this world, that is the way humans in this world are called.
Song Jue doesn't know how to draw swords, doesn't know the way of yin and yang, and naturally doesn't know the origin and identity of various monsters. Su Anran already knew this when she described Jiu Tun Douji before.But he didn't think about it carefully, and still followed the way of identifying monsters in this world to make inferences, so he didn't realize the most important and core problem.
subjective cognition.
And because of this cognitive bias, Su Anran never thought that the so-called shepherd might be a monster like Shuten.
Of course, he also had to admit that this flying man was indeed quite cunning and disguised himself as a bad old man.
According to the rumors, Flying Headman is a soul-type monster with no specific gender, but he especially prefers women, so he will follow the target and observe the target's behavior until the time is right, then bite off the other's head, and then transform himself into The opponent's appearance is attached to its body, so as to hunt more prey.
Therefore, the special ability of the Flying Man is to devour the soul and imprison the soul-this coincides with the supernatural power possessed by the shepherd's domain [Ranch]-it can even change heads and bodies constantly by fusing souls , After all, a dead body will rot.
