The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 777 Headless Ice Coffin
Each eye reflected in those bronze mirrors was small.

In comparison, the pupils in those eyes don't seem that small.

Even so, and despite the great distance, Leng Mei could still see the starlight hidden in those pupils, like stars in the infinite universe or a moving star map.

Upon seeing this scene, Leng Mei immediately thought of someone, and her senses turned alarmed!

These hundreds of eyes must be the left and right eyes of Du Ziteng, the boar god of the Temple of Gods!

It is said that Du Ziteng died from overwork while guarding Yunze territory and was subsequently controlled by Ji Mucheng.

Unexpectedly, Ji Mucheng not only preserved Du Ziteng's useful body, but also further utilized his Zhaozi's hypnotic pupil technique to set up a large formation.

With this in mind, Leng Mei naturally dared not meet the gaze of those hundred strange eyes across the distance.

Unexpectedly, when I tried to close my eyes, my eyelids wouldn't close.

I want to turn my head, but my neck won't turn.

He tried to shrink back, but his body was frozen and he couldn't move!

Just as he was wondering if he had been tricked, he heard a series of humming sounds from the rocks.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently beneath my feet, and behind me, rocks collapsed and tumbled down with a deafening roar!

Jiang Yichen snatched her hand from beside her, pulled her out of her immobile situation, and sprinted down the hillside.

Leng Mei glanced behind her and saw dark clouds covering the sky, and mountains collapsing and the earth splitting open!

Looking back down the slope, thousands upon thousands of corpse soldiers burst out of their tents, rushing and leaping forward like a raging black tide that threatened to engulf the two of them!

Leng Mei subconsciously tightened her grip on Jiang Yichen's left hand, only to be pulled into his arms and then violently thrown back at the falling soil and rocks behind her.

Soaring through the air, Leng Mei could hardly believe that Jiang Yichen possessed such strength!

But before she could think any further, she came to her senses and was already spinning and leaping among the falling soil and rocks.

She believed that with Jiang Yichen's current lightness skill, although it would take some effort, it would be enough to keep up closely behind.

However, when Leng Mei turned and leaped backward, there was no one in front of her.

Jiang Yichen is still trapped in the Black Tide.

Even though the heads and bones that had been cleaved off by the Iron Flower Sword had piled up into mountains.

But Jiang Yichen's back, left and right arms, left leg and right foot were covered with corpse soldiers with open mouths devouring food!
Seeing this extremely unreal and bizarre scene, Leng Mei felt as if her heart was being torn apart, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

She was too exhausted to maneuver or leap to find a way to survive.

But she wasn't scratched or crushed at all by the falling rocks.

She felt her body becoming heavy, as if she were constantly sliding and falling.

He slid down to Jiang Yichen's feet, saw him clear away the corpses around him, and then knelt down on the ground.

When he looked up at her, her face was ashen, her eyes rolled back, her pupils were not visible, and she was shaking her head, looking like a zombie!

Upon seeing this, Leng Mei's breath hitched, as if she too was about to be dragged into the abyss and drown.

At that moment, a giant hand on the horizon tore through the barriers and reached for her, accompanied by a concerned shout!

"Mei'er, wake up!"

All is silent, all phenomena are broken!
After closing and opening her eyes once more, Leng Mei could see that she and Jiang Yichen were still standing on the hillside.

The hundreds of tents on the hillside remained completely still.

Jiang Yichen did indeed pull his hand.

The nightmare just now was indeed an illusion created by the pupil technique. Leng Mei was so deeply immersed in it for twenty or thirty breaths that she almost lost her mind.

Because of his limited eyesight, Jiang Yichen had to use his internal energy to focus his eyes to see clearly what was reflected in the bronze mirror. He was able to react quickly and take timely precautions before calling out to the person in front of him.

But Jiang Yichen immediately withdrew his hand and instead slapped Leng Mei's palm, pushing her far away.

It seems to be very similar to the scene in my previous nightmare!
As the neat array of starlight streaked past where the two had just stood, a large, stout figure flashed into view.

Only then could Leng Mei confirm that she was not in a dream within a dream and had broken free from her previous state.

Despite his large build, Du Ziteng possesses remarkable agility and explosive power.

However, during his lifetime, he relied mainly on his pupil technique and close-range explosive physical skills to fight, and was not good at using hidden weapons. Unexpectedly, after losing his autonomy, he became even more powerful!
The air was filled with the mournful sound of something cutting through it, and Jiang Yichen flew up and down, dodging and weaving, his feet barely touching the ground.

As he turned and flipped, a hundred or so leaf darts grazed his hair, cheeks, the hem of his clothes, and the edges of his trousers.

In less than ten breaths of exchange, Jiang Yichen was almost certain that with Du Ziteng's current skill in using hidden weapons, entering the top ten of the Central Plains martial arts world would not be a problem.

Fortunately, even with his large pockets, Du Ziteng could only carry a limited number of hidden weapons, not enough to corner Jiang Yichen.

In close combat, Jiang Yichen could even close his eyes to discern and perceive Du Ziteng's attack patterns, rendering Du Ziteng's illusionary magic ineffective.

At the same time, figures emerged from three or four out of a hundred tents at the foot of the hill and came rushing over.

It's not hard to see that this corpse storage area mainly uses a bronze mirror array to amplify Du Ziteng's pupil technique for overall monitoring, and then deploys a certain proportion of living people to guard it to prevent accidents.

Du Ziteng was preoccupied with Jiang Yichen, but he didn't have the strength to drag Leng Mei into the battle. Leng Mei had ample time to calm down and think things through.

She and Jiang Yichen came to disturb the hornet's nest. At this point, they had only poked the corner of the nest with a bamboo stick, attracting a few wary bees. To truly shake the hornet's nest, they needed to increase their efforts.

So they made up their minds, determined their destination, and cleared a path forward.

Jiang Yichen understood immediately and, along with his burden, followed Leng Mei deeper into the Uncertain Mountains for a stroll.

The deeper you go, the flatter but not straighter, steeper but not dangerous mountain road becomes.

Given the terrain, the number of corpse soldiers that could be stored up was quite considerable.

From sunrise to sunset.

Leng Mei and Jiang Yichen were like the head of a centipede demon that had shaken the ages for thousands of years, leading a long body composed of countless corpse soldiers and poisonous Indians, seemingly wandering aimlessly through the vast mountain range.

Although Himekimoto himself did not appear, the entire Mount Buding had been completely awakened!

Compared to the Oirat people who had the ability to organize, plan, and adapt to the situation when they were chasing and intercepting Jiang Leng and his companion, the pursuers in the Unstable Mountains, mainly composed of corpse soldiers, were driven by the instinct of the corpse worms to run tirelessly all over the mountains and fields, while the living people with reason sought out space and opportunities to encircle them.

As a result, Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei found themselves in danger several times, but fortunately escaped unharmed.

From the perspective of the Poisonous Zhu people, these two invaders were audacious and reckless, and they would only end up in this hurried and scrambling state, losing their lives sooner or later.

However, when Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei led the long snake of pursuers back to the north entrance of the mountain, apart from being drenched in sweat and a little tired, they were unharmed.

Perhaps, given the intelligence of the Corpse Gu, it is unable to discern the ease and dexterity with which its two prey are positioned.

Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei, playing the role of prey, did not stop when they arrived at the north side of Mount Buding, and continued to flee north with their pursuers.

North of Mount Buding is the Buding River.

The Unstable River is six zhang wide and two zhang deep.

The fleeing prey did not escape to the stone bridge over the river.

Instead, they led hordes of hunters into the calm, still river.

Only then did Jiang Yichen slow down, giving Du Ziteng a chance to catch up.

In his lifetime, Du Ziteng, who preferred lying down to sitting and sitting to standing, and was so lazy that he filled his belly to the brim, could never have imagined that after his death he would travel over mountains and ridges for several hours, catching up with the mountains and ridges he had crossed in most of his life, all without blushing, panting, or having a racing heart.

As one of Ji Mucheng's most respected undead warriors, Du Ziteng's belly was much rounder than it had been in life, round like a ball, with a layer of flesh on top and bottom, and enough to stuff a ring of rats in the middle. This trip over mountains and valleys had cleaned up the sweat, mud and other filth that had accumulated over the past few months.

As Du Ziteng leaped forward to attack, Jiang Yichen not only saw a ball of flesh being flung into a pancake and filling his field of vision, but also smelled a foul stench.

Jiang Yichen, who was in relatively good condition, was almost choked by the pungent smell. Before the mountain of flesh could crush him, he slapped himself to wake himself up from the darkness, slid away, and strode towards the riverbank.

With a few quick steps, Jiang Yichen strode across the water, creating a water curtain as tall as a person.

Boom!
Du Ziteng had already jumped into the water, like a boulder exploding in a pond!

The water splashed up to a height of ten feet, almost covering the water curtain in front.

Just then, the water curtain suddenly turned into a wall of ice white!
Even a drop of water ten feet high freezes instantly upon contact with ice, adding bricks and tiles to the thin wall of the water curtain!

With a loud bang!
Jiang Yichen falls into the water, and Du Ziteng crashes into a wall!

The water droplets that had just risen were quickly frozen into ice.

Even if the ice wall were doubled in thickness, it couldn't withstand the impact of Du Ziteng's fleshy balls and would shatter at the slightest touch!
Whether the ice shards are formed from water splashes or from ice wall breakage, they are all given life.

As the gleaming silver sword pointed, hundreds and thousands of ice shards pierced Du Ziteng's upper body, who had not yet fully fallen into the water!
Ice shards are ultimately not as hard as metal; when they hit Du Ziteng's thick-skinned body, they were just like a tickle during a bath.

However, a dozen or so ice shards suddenly pierced Du Ziteng's eyes!

There were still many ice shards and chips clinging to Du Ziteng's thick face, his dark nostrils, and the corners of his wide mouth.

Two streams of jet-black tears immediately flowed from his eyes, hanging on his chubby yet ashen-white face, making him look particularly eerie.

Unfortunately, Du Ziteng didn't cry out in pain, nor did he know that his pupil technique had been destroyed. He seemed to only charge into battle blindly under the stimulation of the Gu worms.

Even though Ji Mucheng, the leader of the Undead Scroll, can control tens of thousands of undead soldiers and command a dozen undead warriors to fight for him, there should still be a limit to his abilities.

Therefore, with the collective wisdom and efforts of the righteous heroes on the front lines of Zhongzhou, they urged Jiang and Leng to make the situation as big and chaotic as possible.

Let's examine how precise the control is when the board is continuously expanded and the number of pieces is constantly increased. Will there be any issues with the balance between control and control?

At least in Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei's view, letting Du Ziteng chase him all over the mountain was a poor decision by Ji Mucheng.

If Ji Mucheng instructed Du Ziteng to follow him into the water, it shows his unwiseness.

If this wasn't Himekimoto's intention, it means that in such a chaotic situation, the other party couldn't fully control the undead warriors' specific actions!

Despite being half-submerged in water, Du Ziteng did not give up the pursuit of his prey and stubbornly continued forward, but his hands, feet and body were getting colder and heavier!
Whoosh!

Du Ziteng's body was still struggling to move forward, propelled by his limbs.

The executioner Leng Mei, who had swept in from behind, had already beheaded him!

With a splash, a huge ice coffin containing a headless body appeared on the Uncertain River, drifting slowly downstream...
