Chapter 257: Confrontation Mission (Part 2)

"What?"

On the other side, the devil merchant hiding in a tomb not far from Qingling looked up in astonishment. Although he was looking at the dark and damp soil, he seemed to see the scene in the night sky. The familiar flash of lightning tore through the night again and shone in the sky!

"How is it possible..."

He murmured, subconsciously grasping the black shroud on his body, and then his face twisted and he groaned in pain. The shroud stuck to his body tightly, and black thin lines extended from the shroud, densely packed, and pierced into the body of the devil merchant. Even the tour guide cloak could not stop the erosion of the shroud.

In fact, when the Qin-made shroud just flew towards him, it directly penetrated the tour guide cloak and automatically wore the innermost layer of all the devil merchant's clothes! Then those dense black lines penetrated his body skin. The most terrifying thing was that even if the devil merchant became an alienated state, the black lines were still there, and it had deeply penetrated into the soul of the devil merchant!

Even without the hotel's reminder and its identification of the level of the item, the devil merchant can guess it. The curse and power contained in this Qin-made shroud are definitely greater than any item on his body, even the magic mirror!

Wearing this level of terrifying props on his body, the devil merchant certainly has powerful power. He can hide here without being discovered by anyone, relying on this shroud.

But at the same time, his mind and spirit are also being eroded. The longer he wears it, the more he will be completely controlled by the shroud! He hasn't had a big problem yet because there is a layer of "Grandpa Zhi's" power between him and the shroud.

However, from the time he got the shroud to now, the black lines from the shroud have penetrated and occupied most of his body. Grandpa Zhi's remaining power will soon disappear. I'm afraid that after tonight, the shroud will be out of control! Especially in the Ming Tombs where the hotel rules disappeared. At that time, he will face a catastrophe.

Either seek help from Black Widow or Mia, or leave the journey early and return to the hotel, or go to a place where the shroud can be suppressed.

Or go to see Xiao Cui - this Qin-made shroud has a part of him, and transferring the shroud to him and handing over the curse is also a way.

But as Xiao Cui promised him before when they talked about cooperation... they will take a path that no one could have imagined.

"He is really, really..."

After being shocked, the devil merchant showed a complicated expression.

During the previous discussion, they all kept a hand, and no one told everything. At that time, Xiao Cui said that when the next heavenly punishment came, it would be the time for them to decide the winner.

The devil merchant thought that this duel would be later. Although Xiao Cui seemed to have mastered the trick of summoning heavenly punishment, it would definitely be beneficial for him to be later.

Wait until the two principals finish the negotiation with the Ming Thirteen Tombs, wait until the curse on the Qin shroud erodes the soul of the devil merchant, and wait until Xiao Cui has more of that strange spiritual pollution power.

The situation will become favorable to him.

The devil merchant boasted that even if he was eager to fight Xiao Cui, the more favorable conditions for him, the better. If it were him, he would probably wish to be dragged to the end.

But Xiao Cui is not like this.

The devil merchant took out his pocket watch, and the dark golden pointer trembled slightly.

It is now September 27th, 11 o'clock in the evening.

The heavenly punishment came early, not on September 29th, nor on September 28th.

At this time, the Qin-made shroud did not completely pollute his soul, and he could use the power of the shroud. It can be said that this is the strongest time for the devil merchant at present!

And now Xiao Cui may not be able to determine his location, but the devil merchant can. He is in the dark, Xiao Cui is in the light, and the situation is more favorable to him.

What's more, the lightning of heavenly punishment struck, and Emperor Taizong was angry. He alone could hold back * * * and the phantom cat in the Ming Tombs, and Xiao Cui could not get their support.

The time, the place, and the people are right.

But strangely, the devil merchant was not sure of winning.

"This is interesting."

He smiled, and at this moment the devil merchant felt that he understood Xiao Cui a little.

This feeling of giving up everything, putting all the backhands on, but still unable to lock in the victory... If it were before, he would feel anxious and powerless.

But now, as long as he thought that his opponent was Xiao Cui, and that he could really fight with Xiao Cui without being disturbed by others, the devil merchant was actually happy.

"Let me guess where you are."

The devil merchant sensed Xiao Cui's location in Qingling. But the place where the heavenly punishment thunder struck was Yongling!

Qingling and Yongling, one in the west and one in the east, are not close to each other.

It stands to reason that the princess would not make a wrong judgment, and the thunder can also be caused by the underground pollution of the Ming Tombs, which is not necessarily a heavenly punishment.

Should he believe in the princess' judgment in the 'confrontation mission', or believe in this heavenly punishment thunder?

Soon, the devil merchant made a decision!

* *

[Taizong does not need to be angry]

In the sky, at the moment when the thunder and lightning fell, the golden shadow of Taizong directly took action and slapped in the direction of Yongling. This slap was so powerful that it even caused the lightning to distort for a moment. If it was slapped, I am afraid that everything except the Ming Tombs would collapse and dissipate on the spot!

But a figure blocked the slap of Taizong's shadow.

* * *Still wearing the cloak with wave patterns, invisible air waves suddenly condensed between them, exploded, and swept in all directions. The incomparably terrifying power was no less than the appearance of the dragons last night!

But in this confrontation, Taizong's shadow stood still, but * * * took a step back. If someone has a deep understanding of energy, he can see that the momentum of the entire Thirteen Tombs is integrated with Taizong, and the aura of the Thirteen Tombs extends to the earth and connects with the ground veins.

In this case, Taizong's strength is absolutely superior, but the strength of * * * and other people in charge of the hotel will be greatly reduced!

[Lightning of heaven punishment can erase the pollution in the Thirteen Tombs——]

"No."

Taizong sneered and said domineeringly: "Have I agreed?"

The negotiations have not yet ended, and your hotel directly took action to cause lightning to strike Yongling. Is this to clear the pollution, or to hold hostages, with ulterior motives?

This is the Ming Thirteen Tombs, the territory he controls. If he says yes, it's yes, and if he says no, it's no!

[Taizong, please think about it again]

Although he said so, * * * pulled off his cloak. Without the cloak to cover him, the momentum of the person in charge suddenly descended, and the next moment, a silver harmonica appeared in his hand.

The harmonica was covered with dense cracks, like cracked ice, especially the crack in the middle was particularly terrifying. It was as if it had been violently broken in the middle and then repaired and spliced. There was no other decoration on the harmonica, only a blue-purple triangle pattern surrounded by dark red and almost black lines was printed on the right corner.

"Woo--"

The wind whistled past, and even though no one was playing, the melodious music still sounded. This music contained infinite power, as if it had substance, surrounding the three people.

Surrounded by the music were not only Taizong, but also the phantom cat.

"Bang!"

In Yongling, Wei Xun's heartbeat suddenly became heavier for a moment, like a butterfly fluttering in his heart, and he seemed to have some kind of premonition. He subconsciously looked up at the sky, but found that the place where * * *, the phantom cat and Taizong were originally was actually covered by thick clouds!

Nothing could be seen, even the overflowing power could not be perceived, as if there had never been anyone there.

"Boom!"

Thunder and lightning struck Wei Xun fiercely, and the first few lightnings had the destructive and terrifying power of the previous thunder tribulation when it was about to end.

But Wei Xun was standing next to the tombstone under the Ming Building. The tall tombstone was like a lightning rod, and the pollution directly eliminated the thunder and lightning! At the same time, the dark color on the tombstone also faded a little.

Just a little, compared with the short-lived emperor of the Fourteenth Emperor who only reigned for one month, the Jiajing Emperor reigned for forty-five years and was the emperor who actually held power for the longest time in the Ming Dynasty. When he was young, he was diligent in government affairs and wise and shrewd. In his later years, he was obsessed with cultivation and did not care about government affairs. There are many historical stories about him, and there are still many novels about the story of the Jiajing Dynasty.

His strength is far superior to that of the Fourteenth Emperor, and the pollution suppressed under the mausoleum is dozens of times more. If these pollutions are transformed, it will not be just a black gold dragon claw. Wei Xun suspects that it can transform into half a dragon.

But more pollution is good, the more pollution, the more it can attract the attention of the heavenly punishment.

Wei Xun touched his chest, thinking of the sudden increase in heartbeat just now, and suddenly smiled. He thought of the first time he met * * *, he had no power to fight back, but now after one journey after another, he chased very fast.

The day when we are on par with each other, the day when we can look directly at his face... is not far away.

"You are here."

The next moment, Wei Xun retracted his gaze and looked at the entrance of Yongling.

A tour guide wearing a dark blue cloak stood there.

* *

"Did he use the harmonica?"

On the mountain outside Yongling, October 10th chewed dried meat, looked at the sky worriedly, and the wolf tail swung behind her. From the back alone, she looked more like a werewolf.

"It's just that you don't need a harmonica for Taizong's words. Even if the negotiations fail, the relationship is still there, and they won't go to war directly. Could it be that the Ximing people took action?"

"The person in charge will not intervene."

Bai Xiaotian sat next to her, closed the book in his hand, and stood up.

"Go now."

"Okay."

Lu Shucheng packed her things neatly without much hesitation, then she walked to Bai Xiaotian, turned her back to him and wanted to carry him on her back, but was rejected by Bai Xiaotian.

"You go first."

"It's very dangerous."

October 10th frowned, but didn't say much, and said seriously: "Protect yourself, blow the whistle if something happens." After that, her figure disappeared in the depths of the forest in a few seconds.

Bai Xiaotian didn't walk in the same direction as her, but walked to the top of the mountain, but his speed was much slower. There was no light in the forest in the middle of the night. At the same time as the thunder, a strong wind blew. The whistling wind brought wet water vapor, rolling up dead branches and leaves, which was very scary. The sound of the wind was really like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Especially in this wind, there was also a strange "gurgling" and "gurgling" sound, like the sound of a block of gel full of water being crushed and crushed, and like the strange sound of something being swallowed and digested and rubbed against the stomach.

From a distance, it seemed that there was a squirming, oval-shaped foreign object among the dry branches and leaves on the ground.

Bai Xiaotian walked straight up without looking sideways.

"Don't step on the slime."

When he was about to step on the foreign object, the other party finally rolled lazily to the side and pretended to exhale: "It's dangerous!"

Bai Xiaotian ignored it and continued to move forward. The slime, which should not have appeared here, did not attract any extra attention from him. After rolling twice on the spot, seeing Bai Xiaotian walking forward, the slime hurriedly rolled to keep up with his steps, chewing something in its mouth.

One person and one slime moved forward, and three minutes later they reached the top of the mountain. From here you can clearly overlook Yongling. Terrifying lightning and thunder seemed to fall from in front of them. It seemed as if there were tens of thousands of bright silver electric spears hanging above the dark night sky, and the people who were stabbed could not open their eyes at all.

"Oh, it's so spectacular."

Bai Xiaotian put on a pair of sunglasses, while Slime opened his eyes wide and watched with gusto. It chewed more vigorously in its mouth, as if it was hungry for popcorn while watching a movie.

"Hey, do you want some?"

After eating for a while, he glanced at Bai Xiaotian who was still standing there. The slime seemed to be embarrassed, and stretched out a hand with some golden jelly on it.

"This is the most expensive orange jelly sold in the hotel. It is endorsed by Lu Shucheng. I heard that besides eating raw meat, she also likes this jelly. It's valuable!"

Slime lowered his voice as if showing off: "Let me tell you, this jelly powder was made for her by Guidu Baixiaosheng. Hey, that's Guidu Baixiaosheng, he can actually make jelly powder! I heard that no matter how much jelly powder is used, If you sprinkle it on anything, it turns into jelly and tastes just like slime!”

"Have you ever eaten slime?"

Suddenly, Bai Xiaotian spoke calmly. Listening to his words, Slime choked for a moment, then laughed: "Although slimes will eat anything, we still won't eat people of the same race. Normally, this is true for any race -"

"Yes, I have eaten people."

Bai Xiaotian said coldly.

Slime, who was choked again, muttered a few boring words, and then stopped talking. The examiner should not appear on the trip again after invigilating the exam.

But during this journey, the hotel's control was really very low, almost comparable to the journey to the 30th parallel north. It’s not surprising that the slime, or the Devourer behind it, appears again.

It was all within Bai Xiaotian's expectation.

It was also expected that the slime would be used to trip him instead of hindering the stronger Lu Shucheng. In the eyes of the other party, he is more dangerous than Lu Shucheng.

At the same time, in the Qingling Mausoleum, a silver figure was surrounded by tourists. The 'tour guide' who was almost attacked and killed weakly hid behind Taoist Ban Ming.

* *

Silver Moon Killer appeared in Qingling.

After receiving the news from Tong Hege, Wei Xun looked at the devil merchant. The devil merchant blinked his left eye at Wei Xun and coughed lightly.

"Isn't it agreed, Xiaocui?"

In response to Wei Xun's "You're here", the Devil Merchant didn't respond with a very martial "I'm here", but shrugged and held something in his hand.

Dark gold pocket watch.

"In other words, you are not Xiaocui."

The Devil Merchant's tone was brisk, but Wei Xun could see his complicated emotions - the Devil Merchant's happiness level fluctuated subtly between five and sixty, but it didn't matter. Wei Xun saw that his [Responsibility Value] was still stable at 80, so he didn't worry anymore.

"You can call me whatever you want."

Wei Xun also took out the golden necklace - removed the pendant, put it in a box with the devil merchant's pocket watch, and gave it to Emperor Jiajing who was standing aside for safekeeping.

"king?"

"up to you."

Hearing his answer, the devil merchant twitched his lips and smiled calmly.

The devil businessman is now sure that Xiaocui is the king and Bing250 is no longer the 'king'.

Wei Xun thought calmly.

Like him, the devil merchant who accepted the confrontation mission should also have two restrictions. Maybe one of them is something like 'the king can't attack you'.

No matter he comes to Qingling or Yongling, he will find that "Xiao Cui" is not equal to Bing 250.

The king can't attack him, but Bing250 can! Although Wei Xun is still affected by [King Shang Hung’s expectations: The princess carries the purest blood of the kingdom in her belly and is the future of the Shang Hung Kingdom. You will not be able to attack the pregnant princess! 】This influence, but the devil merchant does not know.

Attacking people first attacks the heart. As long as the devil businessman thinks this way, he will be more afraid and considerate.

"How long can it hold up?"

The Devil Merchant looked at the stone tablet. The punishment from heaven was so terrifying now that it was like a splash of bright lightning that flooded the entire Qingling Mausoleum. But in fact, it all fell on the pollution attached to the stone tablet. The seeping black gold filled with majestic power. There were dots of firelight in the pollution - the devil merchant had seen this firelight when he and Xiaocui visited Qingling together!

"Fight until you give in."

Wei Xun smiled.

"I really want to compete with you."

The devil businessman sighed: "I finally have this opportunity."

Opportunity to be undisturbed.

At present, the two principals are being restrained, and the passengers who have sealed the power are also 'contained' by the principals, and they cannot be completely unsealed for the time being to disturb them.

For a real showdown, now is the best time!

The devil businessman is really happy, which shows that Xiaocui values ​​him and is willing to fulfill his wish. He still wanted to be lyrical and couldn't help but want to say more, but was interrupted by Xiao Cui.

"bring it on."

A long knife appeared in Wei Xun's hand. It was not a fanatic's knife, but a Yanling knife from the Ming Dynasty!

"Zheng buzz——"

The arc of the sword was like a moon mark, and it suddenly slashed towards the devil merchant without any warning. The moment the blade fell, countless words "Ming" appeared on the blade, which turned into flame-like mental pollution. The fused flame was hidden in the mental pollution, scarlet. Thick slurry spread all over Wei Xun's body, and he transformed into a fire god in an instant. The flames burned crazily, so much that the blade made an overwhelming rattling sound.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down, the thunder and lightning stopped, the air disappeared, and it seemed that there was only this scarlet sword light in the sky and on the ground.

Show no mercy, this sword is meant to kill the enemy!

"Keng!"

"boom!"

Waves of air rose and spread in all directions, like a strong wind that instantly lifted up the broken branches and leaves around him. The devil businessman bent his knees and knelt on the ground with one leg pressed by the huge force, but he resisted the attack. In his hand was a strange weapon, a golden scale beam!

The Devil Merchant never took out this scale during the entire journey, and it was obviously his trump card. Wei Xun smiled. The two of them were extremely close at this moment. The devil merchant, who was trying his best to support him, could clearly see the little emerald blue eyes. Under this backlight darkness, they were almost deep purple.

"Let me enjoy myself."

He heard Xiao Cui laughing in a low voice, and the next moment flames suddenly burst out from the Yan Ling knife, and the flames were mixed with countless spiritual pollution and rushed towards the devil merchant!

"Skin it off!"

The Devil Merchant did not hesitate to throw out a large ball of scarlet mental pollution. Seeing that they were instantly engulfed by the flame pollution, the Devil Merchant decisively cut off the connection with them, sweating on his back.

Sure enough, Xiaocui's pollution can be passed on to other mental pollution!

Never fight him in close combat!

"Roar - peel, peel!"

The Devil Merchant released a large amount of Mr. Skinner's mental pollution. While Wei Xun was responding, he took the opportunity to retreat violently, directly to the edge of the stone monument's protective circle.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning struck the devil merchant's back, and half of his body was numb. There was no lightning falling at all, and the area within the absolute protection zone of the stone monument was only a circle with a radius of three meters, just like a small Colosseum.

Whoever gets out of the circle first will be out!

"call!"

Seeing that Xiaocui was about to cut off the mental pollution in a few seconds, the devil merchant flipped his hand and took out a dead spirit. Without hesitation, the devil merchant directly swallowed the undead. Death energy erupted in an instant. The devil merchant's hair turned pale, his eyes were cold and stern, his body completely turned into a ghost state, and his momentum suddenly increased.

False return to zero!

"Eve!"

With a sharp cry, the phantom of a girl suddenly appeared behind Wei Xun. At this moment, she had completely opened her eyes, staring blankly at the back of Wei Xun's head, and yawned.

Wei Xun's mind suddenly shook, and sleepiness surged up. It was at this moment that the devil merchant once again widened the distance, and countless undead souls attacked Wei Xun under his command.

fly a kite! He actually wanted to fly Wei Xun's kite!

but--

Just what I wanted.

The blade fell and killed an undead instantly. You can't hurt the pregnant princess, but you don't say you can't kill other things! The true fire of Samadhi ignited, and the burning undead screamed miserably. And Wei Xun smiled in the flames, with weird mental pollution burning in him. Compared with the undead, compared with the devil merchant, he was more like a devil!

You can't attack the pregnant princess, that's good.

Without the undead to stop him, Wei Xun instantly closed the distance between him and the devil merchant, and slashed at his throat with the blade. The Yanling Knife was not a magic weapon in the first place. After the flame pollution was instilled again, it directly shattered into countless sharp blades stained with pollution.

At the moment when the Devil Merchant tried his best to avoid the debris and pollution, Wei Xun's hand turned into a sharp claw and quietly explored the Devil Merchant's abdomen.

As long as he gets an 'abortion', it'll be fine.

Keng!

However, Wei Xun's hand hit a hard and smooth surface, which was the magic mirror!

The devil merchant seemed to have thought that Xiao Cui would attack his abdomen, and actually hid the magic mirror under his clothes.

"Let's go!"

The devil merchant's face was twisted in pain, and a strong suction suddenly came from the magic mirror. Wei Xun wanted to retreat, but in the blink of an eye he seemed to see dense, criss-crossing spider webs, and a woman sitting among the spider webs, smiling at him.

It's Black Widow!

The Black Widow, who hasn't appeared during this time, is actually hiding in the devil merchant's magic mirror! She is like a spider who has set a trap in advance so that she can wait for her prey to come to her.

Ever since Bing 250 promised the devil merchant that he would have a fair duel with him, this plan against him had been planned!

Wei Xun was completely unable to resist the suction of the magic mirror. In an instant, most of his body was sucked into the magic mirror. Not only him, but also the devil businessman was also entangled in the spider web. It was obviously his magic mirror, but now it was completely absorbed by the black widow. control.

The illusion of the black widow was smiling at him, with spider claws sticking out from behind, but Wei Xun was actually smiling at her too! At the next moment, Wei Xun's remaining hand took out the good brother's cloak that was about to expire, and put it directly on the devil merchant. He held the devil merchant's shoulder tightly. At this moment, it was a common crisis for both of them!

[The cloak of good brother will randomly recruit a brother who can help you tide over difficulties to help you withstand danger! 】

What brother does the devil merchant know? What kind of brother can help him and Xiaocui tide over the difficulties together?

This good brother's cloak came from Scarlet Cloak's adventure, and it has a special tacit understanding with the original owner!

In an instant, the devil merchant disappeared and suddenly appeared in mid-air, where *** and Taizong were confronting each other. The moment he disappeared, something changed under the cloak. His heart was slightly moved and he didn't have time to look at it. Wei Xun grabbed the back of the cat's neck with his backhand. Then, instead of resisting, he seemed to be fighting for it, and rushed forward with the cat. Into the magic mirror!

In the magic mirror, Black Widow's smile became a little stiff when she saw the expressionless cat in Bing250's hand.
