Alienated Martial Arts

late at night.

Cold wind and heavy snow.

Although spring has arrived, it is still bitterly cold in the northern wilderness.

Xiaoli touched her forehead to the ground, feeling the coldness of the ground, and her body became a little stiff.

Click!

Click, click, click!

A series of crisp sounds reached my ears.

It sounds like the bones and joints are moving.

"My maid, Congli, pays homage to Mother Xi."

Xiaoli took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, feeling a huge wave surge in her heart.

Not far in front of her, everything was changing drastically.

The middle-aged woman named Bi Fu slowly straightened her body, and with her body as the center, the cold night sky seemed to be boiling, and a large mass of thick and colorful darkness extended out, seemingly endless and endless.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Perhaps it took a long time in Yuli's perception, but in reality it was only a short moment.

Is this the power of Xi Mu?

Just standing here motionless made her feel tremendous pressure, and she didn't dare to show any resistance.

Therefore, all the plans she had made when she came to Beihuang might have to be scrapped and she would take another path.

"You did very well."

Quietly, a soft female voice sounded.

It slowly swayed directly in the depths of Yuli's consciousness.

Little by little, her anxiety and fear were relieved.

"It is my greatest honor to be recognized by Xi Mu."

Xiaoli kowtowed again and knelt down deeply.

But at the next moment, she suddenly covered her heart. She couldn't even maintain her kneeling position and collapsed directly on the cold snow.

"You did a good job indeed. You made all the slaves I sent at great cost die."

"If you sow, you will reap the fruit. As the saying goes, one drink and one peck are destiny. Since you are disobedient, you should be punished accordingly and you should pay the price of death."

The ethereal and soft voice of a woman sounded again, like the most gentle mother, whispering to her children full of love.

Blood gushed out from Qiu Li's mouth, and her face became hideously distorted due to pain.

But she struggled, slowly stood up straight, and stared at the motionless middle-aged woman not far away.

"Ha...I thought you were so high up, overlooking all living beings, but I didn't expect you are just a monstrous creature."

Xiaoli laughed, her voice getting louder and louder, without any scruples, "Go find whoever kills your person!"

"Why, you can only watch people walk away, and you can only stay here to be helpless and furious, venting your anger on your mother and me?"

"You're such a coward, and you still have the nerve to call yourself Xi's mother?"

"The dogs I raise at home are more promising than you!"

Quietly, the severe pain from the heart disappeared without a trace.

Before Yuri could really react, Ichika was in front of her.

The middle-aged woman's movements were stiff and twisted, but her speed was so fast that she could not react. She appeared in front of Yuli without any warning.

"Your anger means nothing to me."

"But I decided not to take your life for now, so I can take you to see what will happen to that person."

The cold wind howled and the snow fell heavily.

A flash of red flew through it.

Its speed is so fast that it creates a straight hole wherever it passes.

boom!

Wei Tao fell heavily, making a big hole in the snow.

He didn't move on.

Instead, he stopped and slowly turned his head to look sideways.

Where it can be observed and sensed, the night is becoming different.

The darkness was like substance, surging endlessly, completely covering a large area.

Wei Tao's face was as dark as water, and he saw light flashing in the darkness, as if two bright moons were rising.

One on the left and one on the right, they emitted a soft glow, reflecting on his body at the same time.

"This strange feeling..."

Wei Tao frowned slightly, "No, that's not right, this doesn't seem to be a full moon, but two eyes that have just opened."

"There is also an aura that permeates the darkness. It has many similarities with the ruby ​​spider sculpture, but it is much higher in level."

"So, I may be facing the so-called Ximu at this moment."

He observed the two bright moons, and the other party seemed to be observing him.

The weeping song sounded at this moment.

It broke the dark silence and reached his ears.

"Yiwei is at home, and the octopuses are at home; in the town's deer farm, the night is shining brightly..."

Accompanied by the chanting, the bright moon disappeared, the darkness receded, and two figures slowly walked forward.

"You two are very fast, and you caught up in such a short time."

Wei Tao's body slowly tensed up, coordinating himself to the most suitable state for an explosion.

He had a gentle expression and calm eyes, staring at the two women one behind the other.

They are strange.

Xiaoli seemed to have suffered serious internal injuries, with dark red blood still remaining on her lips, and her aura was declining faster than before.

But she was smiling, and she didn't know why she looked so happy.

The middle-aged woman named Bi Fu had an expressionless face and stiff movements, as if she had transformed from a living person into a puppet.

More importantly, if we continue to observe, we find that she seems to be constantly changing, and it is impossible to make a relatively accurate positioning.

"You're a little weird."

Suddenly, a disembodied voice sounded in Wei Tao's ears.

It sounds gentle and soft, making people involuntarily relax their vigilance.

He shook his head slowly, "I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing weird about me."

Since the other party didn't attack suddenly, but chose a mutual communication start, he didn't mind talking to it for a few words, so he could observe it in depth and make more complete preparations.

Wei Tao asked, "Are you the Ximu they mentioned?"

"Also, although those people you sent are weak and helpless, they still have to show a superior face.

So it makes me a little curious, where does a thing that can be slapped to death come from, and dare to look down on the warriors who refine their qi and blood? "

The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, then slowly blinked her dull eyes, "You are right, I am Xi Mu."

"As for those people, they are all my slaves, they offer me sacrifices and get corresponding strength from me.

The biggest reason why you can easily kill them is that they have just arrived here and do not have enough time to get rid of their imprisonment and restraint, so they cannot exert their full strength. "

Wei Tao thought about the meaning of his words, and then asked after a moment, "What are you doing here?"

“Look for opportunities to move forward further.”

She looked up at the sky, her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and look deeper.

“Only through here can we find their last traces. For me, this is an irresistible temptation.

In the already somewhat vague memory, this place was not originally so closed. It was just that a long, long time ago, all eyes on this place were forbidden, and all the signposts were destroyed. It was not until two hundred years ago that there were faint signs of loosening. "

Two hundred years ago?

Wei Tao's heart moved, and the node corresponded to the war period before the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

There are also various events in which Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Imperial Preceptor suppressed the evil traitors and established the rule of the world.

He quickly collected his thoughts and listened to her continue.

“However, it is said that before the new road sign was built, it suffered a devastating blow.

So another hundred years passed, and the forbidden zone was loosened again, and the seeds carrying various powers began to become active. However, before they could take root, sprout, and develop, they were once again brutally suppressed. "

“That’s why I said you’re weird, or a more accurate way of saying it is that you warriors are a little weird.

Because he had to fight against a stronger force, he embarked on a unique Qi and Blood martial arts path, which was also a path that gradually led to self-destruction and madness. "

Wei Tao took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"What I said is actually very clear."

She turned her blank eyes and focused her gaze on him.

"Compared with others of the same kind, my accumulation is not deep, and my strength level is not strong, so it was not until recently that I could really focus my attention on your movements and observe your movements, but I also know what happened a long time ago.

Your ancestors warriors learned to borrow their remaining power to make themselves stronger, in order to cut off the tentacles extending from the outside world, and to block the eyes that came in, even at the risk of driving themselves into madness, to change the controlled destiny. . "

"Their power, what are they?"

"You should know better than me what they are."

She was silent for a moment, with a stiff smile on her face, "Actually, strictly speaking, I should be the same creature as them, but I am far from the level they once were, so I have to look for their remaining traces as a way to continue to improve. opportunity."

At this point, she repeated, "You are really interesting."

"It's a pity that you shouldn't have killed my servant."

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes suddenly.

Without any warning, he dodged ten feet to one side.

Uh-huh!

A thin thread appeared where he was standing just now.

It sank deeply into the ground, leaving a straight cutting mark.

boom!

At the same time, scarlet silk threads danced wildly, completely wrapping the position where the middle-aged woman was standing.

It was like a heavy cocoon, leaving almost no gaps.

Wei Tao did not take this opportunity to leave. Instead, he stood silently and stared at the area covered with silk.

If he could leave, he would definitely leave.

But he had already tried it once before, and even though he had run quite a distance, he was still being chased by something called Ximu, which meant that it was impossible to get away.

Uh-huh!

Without any warning, all the filaments broke at the same time, losing contact with the main body.

Wei Tao narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on the middle-aged woman's body. Looking at the spider threads appearing on her body, some sudden thoughts flashed in his eyes.

He should have thought a long time ago that whether it is Ximu or Celadon, they are nicknames for some kind of creature.

It's actually a special spider.

And the sudden sneak attack just now was also a spider thread shot out like a blade.

"Let me see how high you can develop Qi and Blood Martial Arts by borrowing the remaining power from them."

boom!

The sound fell and the strong wind suddenly rose.

Although the middle-aged woman's body was stiff and twisted, her speed was extremely fast. She opened her teeth and danced her claws, bringing out afterimages. In an instant, she crossed a distance of more than ten feet and arrived in front of Wei Tao.

Bang!

The two bodies were thrust together, with almost no gap between them.

From a distance, it looks like lovers reunited after a long separation, cuddling and whispering to each other under the snowy night.

But with the sudden explosion of rumbling thunder, all the beautiful and beautiful reveries were shattered.

Wei Tao and Xi Mu collided with each other no less than a hundred times in an instant.

Hands, feet, arms and legs, head and shoulders, waist and back, every part of the body can be used as an offensive weapon.

They collided together without any fancy.

There is only one purpose, and that is to kill the other party.

At the same time, spider threads were woven into a web, and the threads were twisted and entangled, intertwining with each other in the small space centered on the two people, swallowing and annihilating them. The battle between the two sides became more and more eerie and strange.

After a dozen breaths, the middle-aged woman seemed to want to distance herself.

But every time he was tightly entangled by Wei Tao, he was never able to escape successfully. He could only continue the battle like a wild beast rolling, preying and biting.

Boom!

A thunder shook the void.

After another head-on collision.

He finally released his grip on her and let her retreat a short distance like lightning.

The heavy snow fell one after another, and the two looked at each other in silence ten feet apart. For a while, neither one took the initiative to attack again.

Wei Tao calmed his breathing slowly and let the snowflakes mixed with ice flakes fall on his face, moisturizing his hot skin.

Strands of blood seeped out from both cheeks, pooled together on the chin, and condensed into blood beads, dripping down.

And there are many such small wounds on the body, and the inside is shining with crystal light.

It's as if mercury has been poured into it, forming glowing bright lines.

They should all be spider silk.

It was constantly destroying his physical body, and was still emitting unknown fluctuations, trying to affect his spirit.

The blood network acupoints in the body are constantly expanding and contracting, swallowing up all these foreign objects. However, this process is not very smooth, and it will take at least a certain amount of time to digest all the spider silk.

Wei Tao observed the barely human-looking middle-aged woman, looking for her weaknesses.

In the battle where he just exchanged injuries for injuries, he relied on his yin and yang to unify his physical body and his strong recovery ability to a certain extent, but he still didn't take much advantage and was even injured by the opponent's attack.

Every time the opponent makes a move, there is some kind of weird power. Not only is it extremely high-level and can break his defense, but what is even more difficult to deal with are those spider threads. They seem to have spirituality and life, and can find flaws on their own without even realizing it. Soon it invaded his body.

Click!

Click, click, click!

A series of crisp sounds reached Wei Tao's ears.

The middle-aged woman straightened her head, which was twisted nearly 180 degrees, and looked over expressionlessly.

She spoke slowly, her voice still gentle, "You are indeed very strong, both in terms of physical strength and mental will, you are above the level.

More importantly, I can feel that you still have a lot of reservations and have not shown your full strength.

The emergence of this feeling even gave me a hint of danger. "

Wei Tao did not respond.

He took a deep breath of cold air, with a cold and indifferent expression on his face.

But in the deepest part of his narrowed eyes, there was a flash of uncontrollable excitement.

"I have reservations, and you didn't go all out. We are evenly matched, and no one needs to say anything about the other."

He spoke slowly, raising his hand to wipe away the saliva that had dripped out from nowhere, with a smile on his face, "You made me excited about the hand-to-hand fight just now. The energy and blood in my body were boiling with it. It was almost here." The level of uncontrollability.”

I haven't been feeling well all day today. I have a headache and feel like vomiting. I hope I'm not infected. I hope I'll feel better tomorrow.
