Chapter 24 Chapter 23

The headless zombies kept shaking the ancient trees. Even the thousand-year-old trees could not withstand their brute force and were slowly disintegrating.Daoist Qingning watched worriedly, but there was nothing he could do. Suddenly, all the zombies fell silent.Daoist Qing Ning suddenly had the illusion that the blood cavities on their necks were their eyes, and they were staring straight at him with this huge eye. Swipe—swipe—as if something was slowly flapping its wings in the darkness, and it seemed that there was nothing but suffocating fear. Suddenly, a group of thick black shadows flew out of the blood cavity, circled along the trunk and flew towards the tree.

Daoist Qing Ning knew something was wrong, he hurriedly let out a clear whistle, and led the crowd to fly upwards. At this moment, the ancient tree cracked and smashed down Daoist Qing Ning and his juniors were extremely skilled in martial arts, they didn't panic when the old tree fell, and slanted up another tree.But the three generations of disciples who were on the same tree with him were not so lucky.It stopped abruptly after hearing a scream, and several heads flew up, and several headless corpses fell down. Blood, with a strong fishy smell, splashed on the tree trunk, like a messy splash-ink painting.

The crowd immediately panicked, crying and climbing to a higher place. Daoist Qing Ning suddenly said: "Wait a minute!" When he made a move, the sword light pierced through the air.The zombies that were shaking the tree trunks stopped together and fell to the ground like broken dolls.A smile appeared on the corner of Daoist Qingning's mouth. Master Shou Ru was overwhelmed with surprise, and asked urgently: "Senior brother Qingning, what did you find?" Daoist Qingning turned his sword light, and saw a butterfly strung on the long sword.The butterfly foot was the size of a palm, and it was pitch black.It doesn't look out of the ordinary.It's just that a few crystal-clear filaments hang down from its wings, and the other end is impressively connected to the zombie's body.Daoist Qing Ning said: "The mysterious killer we encountered in the forest is it!" "It?" Shou Ru Shitai was startled, "Butterfly? How is this possible?"

Daoist Qingning didn't answer, he reached out and broke off a branch, and drew in the air.The branch crossed the butterfly silk and was cut into several pieces silently.Even the sharpest sword is nothing more than that! Shouru Shitai's face changed color.Daoist Qing Ning said sadly: "Junior Brother Qing Yu didn't expect this, so he was plotted against by these Dies." The forest at night is extremely dim, and these butterfly silks are so thin and transparent that they cannot be detected at all.However, as long as it touches the slightest bit, it will be scratched; if it is gently pulled around the neck, the head will be severed.No wonder those heads hovered in the air, but they were brought up by these black butterflies.Needless to say, those zombies seemed to be alive precisely because they were manipulated by Diesi.After figuring this out, Shou Ru Shitai couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.No matter how scary butterflies are, they are much easier to deal with than ghosts.But why are these butterflies killing people?

Qingning Daochang flew out a sword, and cut open a zombie under the tree—a viscous and smelly liquid flowed out from the zombie's body, and through the extremely faint starlight, one could vaguely see that the liquid was mixed with countless A white spot the size of a finger. Daoist Qing Ning's face was solemn, and he said slowly: "That's an egg. These butterflies attack people in order to lay their eggs in the human body, feed on the flesh and blood of the victim, and breed the power of a secret demon." Daoist Qingning paused, staring at the dark night for a long time, as if realizing something.

Suddenly, he turned his head and knelt down facing Mrs. Shouru.Master Shouru was taken aback, and hurriedly supported him: "Brother Qingning, why are you doing this?" Daoist Qingning couldn't bear it, and said solemnly: "Today, I have a chance to make the righteous way prosper, but I need to sacrifice my sister, I wonder if my sister is willing? " "Our Buddhism and Taoism are originally a family, and we both serve the righteous way of the world. What can't we sacrifice?" Daoist Qing Ning kowtowed: "Thank you, Junior Sister. The breeze and bright moon don't shine on people." As he spoke, he made a sudden move and pierced Shou Ru Shitai's chest with a sword!At the same time, the disciples of Wudang all attacked and killed the Emei disciples in one fell swoop.Apparently, the phrase "the clear wind and the bright moon do not shine on people" is exactly the code word for the Wudang faction to kill people.

Master Shou Ru looked at him with surprise on his face, not understanding how this compassionate senior brother would suddenly do such a murderous thing.Daoist Qing Ning leaned over and sighed: "In the future, the world will be peaceful and evil ways will be wiped out, all thanks to the teacher." As he spoke, he kowtowed respectfully three more times. Master Shou Ru looked over his body, and saw several Wudang disciples clutching several headless zombies tightly.She suddenly understood what Daoist Qing Ning wanted to do, and she couldn't help but feel a deep-seated fear, and she was no longer able to struggle.

The bearded man took Lan Wan back and forth through the forest, but he never found any trace of Wudang and Emei.He killed some black butterflies again, but he still couldn't get out of this dense forest. He looked up at the huge, gloomy trees overhead.The leaves are thick, like a dark sky.He didn't even remember what a blue sky looked like.The sky, as if it had been black from the beginning, was only two or three feet high, pressing heavily on the top of the head. Suddenly, a person shouted: "My lord, are you safe?" He raised his head suddenly, and saw Daoist Qing Ning standing under the tree and looking at him with a smile on his face.

The bearded man smiled coldly.This time, he will not let these bastards go anyway. Daoist Qing Ning smiled and said: "I have practiced a new sword array, would you like to see it?" Six people walked out behind him slowly. It was too dark in the forest to see the faces of the visitors clearly. It can be seen from the clothes that three of the six people belonged to Wudang sect, and the other three were from Emei. The bearded man sneered.The True Martial Sword Formation is not invincible, especially when it is used by this group of trash.He is confident that he can defeat the sword array within ten moves, and take Qing Ning's head in twenty moves!

Taoist Master Qingning moved forward slowly.The six people behind him followed at the same time, and the real martial arts formation took shape. The bearded man swayed, approaching like lightning, and seven or forty-nine palms flew out!Once the sword array is set up calmly, it will be difficult to break it.Be sure to get ahead and catch them by surprise! Daoist Qing Ning was of course very aware of the weakness of the sword array, but he did not stop the bearded man. Bang bang bang, there was a muffled sound, all seven or forty-nine palms of the bearded man slapped on the six people, and these people didn't even hide.

The bearded man felt suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but slow down.Corrupted blood poured out from the bodies of the six people. Amidst Daoist Qingning's wild laughter, the actions of the six people suddenly sped up! Black butterflies flew out of the holes in their bodies, bringing out bright silks.The other end of Diesi was actually in the hands of Daoist Qing Ning.Daoist Qing Ning used butterfly silk to manipulate six corpses, together with himself, to set up an incomparably monstrous true martial arts formation. These corpses are not afraid of fists and kicks at all, and what is even more terrifying are those flying black butterflies.While flying in the air, they spit out extremely sharp butterfly silk, weaving a giant net in the air.As long as it touches the slightest bit, the limbs will be broken immediately.Under the cover of the thick night, this web of death almost merged with the darkness of the forest, making it difficult to distinguish.Normally, the bearded man could use his supreme internal force to break the butterfly silks one by one, but with the protection of the Zhenwu sword array, he couldn't free his hands at all. A total of 108 strikes were made by the Zhenwu Sword Array!The black butterfly fluttered, weaving the net of death more and more densely, and the purple mist condensed by the magical power of three flowers gathered at the top was split and exploded in groups.With the muffled sound of broken bodies, more black butterflies emerged from the puppet's body, flapping their wings and dancing. After a few tricks, a layer of cold sweat oozed from the bearded man's forehead.The True Martial Sword Formation had approached two feet in front of him.If he got any closer, his life would be in danger at any moment. This monstrous zombie sword formation is like a huge black web, and a huge death spider is hiding in the haze not far away, slowly manipulating the spider silk.While admiring the dying struggle of the prey, it tightened the net more and more.Let people have nowhere to escape. Suddenly, a black shadow rushed down from the sky.It was a broken wooden house full of long-rotted heads. The wooden house fell on the sword formation, Daoist Qing Ning was startled, the sword formation froze slightly, the bearded man took the opportunity to soar into the sky, and escaped from the bondage of the sword formation.Cold sweat had soaked his back. Daoist Qingning stopped the sword formation and looked at him from afar.The long and short butterfly silk hung down from the bottom of his sleeve, revealing a cold light: "I will hunt you until I kill you." There was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, which made the bearded man feel a little creepy. He didn't dare to stay longer, and fled away with Lan Wan.This was the first time that he had suffered a defeat at the hands of a second-rate master.But he wasn't annoyed, just terrified. Daoist Qingning stared coldly at the direction in which the bearded guest was leaving. The black butterfly withered slowly.Fall from the sky.Diesi also quickly changed from bright to gray.The few zombies driven by him have completely decomposed, and the dirty fluid in the corpses and unhatched butterfly eggs are dripping all over the ground.After a gust of wind, the butterfly eggs that lost the nourishment of the host's flesh and blood quickly withered. Behind Qingning, there were only a dozen or so Wudang disciples left, all of whom looked at him in awe. Although these black butterflies are extremely fierce, their lifespan is too short, they can't live for more than an hour.Butterfly eggs will quickly decay if they are exposed to the air.He needs more black butterflies.He needs more strength.He needs more hosts. He turned his head and said softly to his closest disciples: "Are you willing to sacrifice for the prosperity of the righteous way?" The black butterfly flew up from his hand, enveloping these disciples. Ran Wan was completely terrified, and never dared to take half a step away from the bearded man.The bearded man's confidence is also slowly disintegrating. This secret demon forest will swallow him sooner or later, no matter how hard he struggles, it will be of no avail.Hei Die and Qing Ning are just the accomplices of the forest.Sooner or later they too will be devoured.Become the host of the black butterfly before hatching, and then, corrupt. This time, is it really the end of the road?The bearded man couldn't answer himself! After an unknown amount of time, the bearded man and Ranmaru finally set foot on the edge of the forest. Suddenly there was a commotion in the bushes behind them.When the two turned their heads, they saw Daoist Qingning's extremely strange face - after a long time, his two eyebrows became extremely long, drooping from his forehead, and his eye sockets were deeply sunken, shrouded in a black shadow.The gray eyeballs protrude high, with countless cracks interspersed on them, dividing the eyeballs into tiny round holes, it looks like thousands of heels have been born. He hunched over and walked slowly in the jungle, like a giant butterfly walking upright!The dead leaves all over the ground made frightened crackling noises, and this humanoid butterfly staggered and approached in the darkness. His voice was extremely hoarse: "Did you know? This kind of power... this kind of power is so powerful, as long as you have it, you can be invincible in the world... Zhuo Wangsun and Yang Yizhi are all nothing to worry about! I will unify the martial arts, Everyone will sing about me, remember me..." He staggered forward, thousands of compound eyes shot out a strange light.But suddenly, with a plop, he fell to his knees and his head fell out. A black butterfly flew out of his body, and the crystal silk of the butterfly wrapped around his head.With a muffled splash, his head flew up through the air, hovering quietly in the air.And layers of butterfly silk wrapped his body, forming a huge cocoon. All the disciples are dead, this kind of black butterfly reproduces too fast, it needs too many corpses.In the end, he was left alone. Precious butterfly eggs cannot be exposed to the air for too long.Therefore, in order to capture this powerful force and bring the invincible monster out of the forest, Qingning had no choice but to plant butterfly eggs in her body.He originally thought that relying on his own internal strength, he could temporarily suppress the hatching of the butterfly eggs, and once he got out of the forest, he would be able to find other people as hosts and transplant the butterfly eggs there.However, the moment he found other living people, Hei Die had broken out of his body.He finally assimilated with this power! Seeing his tragic death, Curly Beard and Lan Wan couldn't help being horrified. But this power... but this power... The bearded man couldn't help looking at the black butterfly that was gradually approaching.With this kind of power, can he beat Yang Yizhi?Can it beat Zhuo Wangsun?Can he get back everything he lost? Even Qingning can use this to defeat him, what if this power is in his hands?The bearded man couldn't help but his heart skipped a beat, his eyes turned to Lan Wan. Ran Wan's face changed drastically, and he ran out frantically.But the bearded man caught him as soon as he made a move. The night, as thick as the juice wrapped on a butterfly egg, rolled in the belly of the forest. Dawn, when will it hatch?
