In the Blade

A monster as tall as a three-story building was wreaking havoc in the south of the city.

The huge monster with a head like a teacup roared crazily, and the remaining hatred made it blind. It didn't know why it had fallen into this situation. It obviously did not do anything wrong - but now it has nothing, even just It didn't even have an enemy anymore. The corpse in front of it had already eaten most of it in one bite. It had become a monster and could no longer look back.

The bloody hatred made it completely crazy, so it threw out a lot of medicine bags and silver needles, throwing this hatred equally to everyone in sight.

Of course, for the Cuphead monster, it was just a medicine bag and a silver needle, but for ordinary people, there were silver needles the size of a throwing gun, and there were some that were much bigger than sacks, filled with rot. As long as the flesh and blood medicine bag is hit, the life will be lost on the spot.

For a time, the entire south of Jiankang City was littered with dead and wounded, and all residents fled in panic.

"There's a monster again!"

The people who were running away shouted like this. As for why they said "again", of course it was because similar things had happened more than once - just like now, in addition to the Cuphead monster, there was another one with a kitchen knife on his head. The pig-headed monster stood up in the distance.

The pig-headed monster with scarlet eyes pulled out the kitchen knife from its face, and there was another bloody storm in the distance.

In the past, although everyone occasionally heard legends about monsters, they had never seen them with their own eyes. But recently, monsters that only exist in ghost stories have appeared one after another - - They are just ordinary people, but they have no ability to resist these monsters that are often several stories high.

Fortunately, the person who can save them finally appears.

"The imperial commander is here!"

Several watchmen and policemen with loud voices shouted in the distance, and on the roof behind them, there were several people armed with various weapons, just like the knights who slay demons and monsters in gay stories. Traveling under the night.

Seeing the appearance of these people, the chaotic people became a little quieter. After all, in recent times, these people called soldiers have destroyed some monsters - but after all, people are still unwilling to regard these people as Officials look at it just because the origins of these people are really problematic.

Madmen, murderers, and gangsters who committed crimes were what people called them in the past. If it were in the past, these madmen who only know how to kill people should be imprisoned by predators. But obviously, times have changed. The murderer in the eyes of everyone in the past has now transformed into a so-called "soldier", and even wears official uniforms.

But can this group of people really save them?

"Buzz——"

Silver needles the size of spears were thrown over like water. Obviously, the Cuphead monster also discovered these people.

However, unlike ordinary people on the ground, these people flying on the roof are not powerless to fight back.

"drink!"

The figure holding a large shield at the head directly set up the shield wall, and the thick evil spirit condensed into a vortex in front of the shield wall. The scattered silver needle spears were actually guided by the evil spirit vortex, and their flight trajectories were twisted all the way, and they all hit the target. On top of that solid shield.

But this shield wall can block the silver needle, but it cannot block the poisonous gas on the rotting flesh and blood in the medicine bag.

"Bang!"

The package of flesh and blood, which was two sizes larger than the sack, hit the shield wall, and the rotten flesh and blood that exuded a putrid smell immediately scattered in all directions.

The man behind the shield just smelled a bit of rancid smell, and he immediately spit out a mouthful of blood.

But his actions finally bought some time for his companions. The remaining soldiers had already rushed to the side of the monster, and the swords, guns, swords and halberds in their hands were already glowing, and the monster's body was instantly covered with blood. There were dozens of deep wounds visible to the bone.

"Take advantage of his illness! Kill him!"

The monster was seriously injured in a single encounter, and the morale of the soldiers immediately rose. With their scarlet eyes, they once again swung the sharp blades in their hands, actually intending to cut the monster into pieces on the spot!

But this monster doesn't just know how to get beaten.

"Why...why! Why me! Why does all this have to fall on me!"

The crazy monster waved his ten arms, and more silver needles were thrown out like a rainstorm. Facing the suddenly crazy monster, the soldiers who lost the protection of the shield wall could only block and parry first, looking for Fighter for action next time.

Although this kind of overwhelming throwing may be extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of these palm soldiers who know how to use evil energy, it is just an ordinary level - as long as they block these flying needles and are not hit by the flesh and blood medicine bag , they will kill this monster as easily as killing a chicken.

But at this moment, there was a soldier holding a spear who noticed something was wrong.

The monster obviously has ten arms, why are there only eight throwing flying needles?

"It's closing the wound!"

When his eyes turned to the two unexplored arms, the spear-wielding commander's eyes suddenly burst into tears.

"It's buying itself time to heal!"

"What a bitch!"

For a moment, all the commanders began to curse.

The monsters themselves are not scary. Although these monsters are often rough-skinned and fleshy, they can still be killed with a few more cuts. Of course, many monsters will choose to devour living people to recover from their injuries, but as long as the living people run away, they can be killed. , the monster will not be able to last indefinitely.

Of course, that was for ordinary monsters.

This monster was obviously different now. It could sustain itself infinitely, which meant that the battle might become a protracted war.

No, it wouldn't even be a protracted war.

This was because the monster not only sewed up the wound, but also sewed more flesh and blood on its body.

Those were the bodies of ordinary people who had just been killed by the monster, but now they were all sewed into the wounds by the monster. With the addition of these fresh flesh and blood, the cuphead monster's body became two times larger, from more than three feet tall to more than five feet tall.

And the silver needles that were like spears just now were replaced by smaller but sharper scalpels.

Obviously, after the suture just now, the monster became much stronger, and the soldiers had a hard time blocking these thin-bladed knives that were smaller than the javelins but faster - because these blades were too sharp, and even had the ability to cut through the evil spirit. The soldiers who relied on the evil spirit to attack were restrained by this move for a while.

Moreover, the number of these thin-bladed knives was even greater than those silver needles just now.

"Swish -"

Finally, someone was cut open by the scalpel, but the wound was not red blood, but some dark brown and rancid liquid.

Those blades were obviously poisonous.

At this time, the shield-holding man who was coughing up blood finally came over. Although he was still coughing, he still smashed the shield on the roof under his feet. The roof was naturally smashed down, and the family hiding inside was half killed. However, it was this new influx of evil spirit that made the man's face look a little more sickly red.

"Hey!"

The man once again raised his shield, and the other soldiers retreated behind him. The flying thin-bladed knives were once again guided by the vortex of evil spirit and hit the solid shield.

The heavy shield could only block piercing and cutting, but the huge impact was still there. However, the more fierce the impact was, the more crazy the man's face became.

In the other hand of the man, an inconspicuous short sword appeared at some point.

"I'll kill your whole family, ah ah ah ah!"

Accompanied by the man's roar, the inconspicuous dagger flew out of his hand. The huge force not only came from the man himself, but also from all the impacts that the thick shield had received.

With such a huge force, the inconspicuous dagger turned into a stream of light in an instant.

"Boom--"

The dagger pierced the huge monster, but it did not make a sound of piercing flesh and blood, but a dull sound like a catapult hitting a city gate. The evil spirit wrapped in the dagger exploded, and half of the monster's body was blown into a blood mist.

With such an injury, it is naturally impossible to sew it up with only two arms, and when the monster drove the remaining fifteen arms to sew together, a group of soldiers finally saw a chance to win.

However, it was under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that a sword light came.

"Buzz--"

Under the moonlight-like sword light, the huge monster that was already seriously injured was immediately cut in half.

Then, countless crescents fell from the sky, sprinkled on the two broken bodies of the monster, and shredded it into pieces.

They had all been chopped into small pieces, so they were dead.

"It's the Sword Master of Qingyue! The Sword Master of Qingyue is here!"

The people who had suffered the disaster cheered immediately, and they no longer avoided or resisted the Armed Forces Commander. They were so enthusiastic about the person who fell from the sky, just like they were treating their relatives.

The Sword Master of Qingyue was a Armed Forces Commander who had recently become famous. As for the title of "Armed Forces Commander", it was naturally to distinguish him from the Armed Forces Commander - the one who used a sword was called the Sword Master, the one who used a knife was called the Knife Master, and the one who used a spear was called the Spear Master. At most, the name of the weapon or person was added in front to distinguish them.

Unlike the military commanders recruited by the court, these military commanders are often people who have achieved success in martial arts among the people. Whenever there are monsters, these military commanders with military power will stand up to fight the monsters - but they refused the court's call, because they disdain to associate with bandits.

Coming from the people, the people are naturally close to them. Not being recruited by the court makes the people think that these military commanders are upright people.

Especially these military commanders often have unique skills. Those monsters that the military commanders can't beat, these military commanders only need three or five moves to get rid of them. This battle power comparison is simply a clear difference.

Just like now.

"Pah!"

The man holding the big shield spat on the ground.

"If I hadn't severely injured this monster with a sword, what right would you kid have..."

"It turned out to be Brother Shan Bing!"

Hearing this shout, the Qingyue Sword Master, who was surrounded by people in the distance, turned around.

He waved his hand, signaling the people around to make way, and the Sword Master of Qingyue crossed the crowd and walked towards the soldiers.

"So it was Brother Shan Bing who led the team, I feel a little embarrassed... Did I steal your job?"

You know that too?

The soldiers glared at him, especially the shield-holding man named Shan Bing, who stared at the Sword Master of Qingyue in front of him.

Just looking at the opponent's moon-white robe, there is not a single stain on it. It is in sharp contrast to their team of people who are wearing black and red official uniforms and have even been beaten and dirty - feeling Shan Bing had also noticed the gazes of the people around him. This boy definitely wore this outfit on purpose, just to appear more exposed than them.

Especially the phrase "stealing your jobs"...

Why, we are working, and you are just saving people from disaster?

But after taking a deep breath, Shan Bing still didn't have an attack.

It’s not that I don’t want to fight, it’s that I can’t. You must know that he has just fought, and his mind is already full of killing intent. At this moment, facing this kind of strange yin and yang energy so close at hand, how can he endure it? But the problem is that he has to endure it. You must know that he faces The one who was right was the Qingyue Sword Master who ranked 73rd in the Hundred Weapons Library.

The ranking of seventy-three may seem inconspicuous, but it is already among the top 100 experts in the entire Nanchen. You must know that even with Shan Bing's strength that can be said to be "unbreakable", he is only ranked in the top 100. Eighty-fourth, eighty-four beats seventy-three, what should he beat?

"Hello."

Sooner or later it will kill you.

Gritting his teeth, Shan Bing finally suppressed his killing intention and did not attack on the spot.

After picking up the dagger he threw, Shan Bing finally left with his team. On the other side of Jiankang City, the pig-headed monster with a kitchen knife on its face had also been defeated. Fortunately, there was a sound coming from afar. Judging from the outcry, the team of commanders led by Jiang Wenyuan, the "Iron Ruler" who ranked 92nd in the Hundred Military Records, finally completed the crusade and was not upstaged by the civilian military leaders. .

But that's all.

There was no cheering or applause. For the military commanders, this was just work. In the eyes of the people, this was what they should do. They were destined not to enjoy the glory that civilian military leaders could enjoy.

"How about I take off these clothes and become a soldier?"

Shan Bing suddenly thought.

But obviously, this is impossible. Not only will the government not let him go, but the troops in charge will not let him go. If he dares to take off his official uniform like this, then what will happen if he lives deep inside the palace? Eunuch Cao, the "eunuch tiger" who ranks first in the Hundred Soldiers List, will definitely come out and skin him personally.

The first update arrived, and after two consecutive naps, I finally regained my energy, my brain became normal, and I finally became less stupid when writing.
