Hell Emperor

Chapter 36 Hua Xiaomei - Body Technique
Three days later, Ye Jie and the others once again practiced together on the beach.

Under Xia Wei's careful instruction, even Nan Linghe, who knew nothing about the technique, gradually mastered the use of the soul-binding rope.

The dark rope was condensed in Nan Linghe's hand. She swung it hard, but the rope was light and fell to the ground within a few steps.

Nan Linghe glanced at the noose thrown out in confusion. Xia Wei just smiled faintly and reminded:
"It's not enough to gather the soul-binding rope. If you want to use the soul-binding rope to tighten the target, you need some skills. With the help of waist strength and skill, you can throw the rope farther. If you just rely on one force to do it, you can do it recklessly. no."

As she said that, Xia Wei stretched out her hand, and a long black whip was condensed in her hand. Her wrist shook slightly, and the whip was stirred by her dance. She swung the whip, and the shrill shadow of the whip whizzed past, Like a dexterous snake, it quickly wrapped around the rat that was trying to escape twenty steps away, rolled up its body, and quickly pulled it back to him.

Shuoshu responded with thunder and lightning, and the violent electric current followed the long whip and struck directly at Xia Wei's body. Xia Wei used her skills to absorb all the incoming electricity, and her body became whiter and flawless under the tempering of thunder and lightning.

On the side, Lucy seemed to have discovered something interesting, pointing at Shuo Shu and saying: "Su, Xu..."

"It's a rat." Nan Linghe ran over and corrected.

Ye Jie, who was standing there, was still recalling Xia Wei's exquisite gesture of throwing the noose in his mind. He saw Xia Wei's movements in his eyes and engraved them in his heart, only to feel his arms trembling slightly.

Xia Wei's demonstration seemed to open the door to a new world for Ye Jie. He had never imagined that the soul-binding rope could be used like this. The creativity that belongs to Xia Wei and the ability to understand the skills are talents that ordinary people cannot match.

Ye Jie closed his eyes and imitated Xia Wei's movements with his arms. Inspired by the inspiration in his heart, he now had a new understanding of the soul-binding rope that had not made any progress for many years. The invisible spiritual power penetrated his whole body. Hunsuo's understanding has also become more profound.

When Ye Jie opened his eyes, he saw Xia Wei standing still in front of him, looking at him with smiling eyes: "It seems that Master has also gained something."

"Of course."

Ye Jie smiled. He took out the broken page and saw that the [Soul-Restraining Cord (Introduction)] in the Kung Fu column blurred and turned into [Soul-Restraining Cord (Mastery)].

Xia Wei gently kneaded the hem of her clothes with both hands, with a hint of playfulness in her movements, and said with a smile: "It would be great if Xiaowei can help Master."

Ye Jie patted her head: "Your body has been tempered by lightning and has become stronger. With your proud talent, I'm afraid you will be able to reach the second level in a few days."

Hearing this, Xia Wei's eyes also flashed with determination: "When I advance to the second level, I will find the shrimp-headed man and avenge the death of Qi Feng."

Ye Jie said with some worry: "That shrimp-headed man, after all, has the strength of the middle level of the third level. Although you are the reincarnation of an immortal, your skills are not complete. If you want to fight beyond the level, I'm afraid it won't be that easy. "

"If you can't even defeat the shrimp-headed man, how can Xiaowei take revenge on the Hengshan bandits?" Isn’t your technique complete yet?”

Ye Jie smiled: "Do you know, among a series of internal skills, mind methods, five elements methods, horizontal training methods, fist and palm methods, sword methods, etc., which type of skills is most important to you?" Is that the most important thing to you?"

Xia Wei frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "The Five Elements method is the most powerful, and it can kill enemies from a distance, so it should be the most important."

"Wrong." Ye Jie corrected him, "For now, among all types of exercises, only body skills are the most important to you. Good body skills are enough to help you overcome the enemy. Enemy. There is an old saying: In the world of martial arts, only speed can defeat you. Your speed advantage is enough to catch your enemy off guard and take advantage of them."

After a pause, Ye Jie continued: "Not only that, body skills are also the prerequisite for escaping from strong enemies. Just imagine that the enemy can't even touch you and has nowhere to use his strength. How can he hurt you? As long as you keep it Don’t worry about your life, and you won’t have the chance to make a comeback in the future. For the sake of safety, before you challenge the shrimp-headed man, you’d better learn a superior body technique.”

Xia Wei nodded, showing a hint of understanding: "It turns out that body skills are so important, but where can Xiao Wei find a superior body skill?"

Ye Jie comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I already have some clues about the movement technique. It won't be long before I can find a movement technique for you. You can just practice it here with peace of mind."

"Master..." Xia Wei pursed her lips and smiled, her clear eyes shining with bright light like stars. Deep in her eyes was her deep trust in Ye Jie.

After saying goodbye, Ye Jie and Nan Linghe returned to the underworld and soon saw several familiar figures.

Hua Xiaomei in white clothes and white face is waiting here like a cedar tree. Poria cocos in Gua robe is fanning her folding fan impatiently. It seems that she has been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Ye Jie coming, Hua Xiaomei stepped forward, looked around, and said in surprise: "After a few days of not seeing you, you have broken through a small realm and reached the middle of the second level like me. No wonder you dare to summon us at this time to reunite. Go back to Xiexiu Cave to investigate, it seems you have a chance to win."

Ye Jie cupped his fists and returned the greeting: "As long as we work together, we will be able to overcome all challenges ahead. Not to mention, we will also have the help of the maid Chang Fuling on this trip. Taking down the pale evil soul is already a certainty. What awaits us, It will definitely be a rewarding experience.”

Listening to the compliment in Ye Jie's words, Poria's cold expression improved, she waved her fan and said:
"Don't be sentimental, I just went to confirm the death of Master Black Eagle. No matter what, he was the main culprit that caused the destruction of my family during my lifetime. Only by seeing his miserable death with my own eyes can I put an end to this knot in my heart. "

Just as he was talking, Nan Linghe also ran over and said hello: "Hello, Sister Mei."

"Hello." Hua Xiaomei smiled faintly, her eyes fell on Nan Linghe, and she suddenly froze, "Wait, how come you are already at the first level of peak? It seems that it hasn't been long since you became a ghost, right? "

After repeatedly confirming that she had read correctly, Hua Xiaomei had no choice but to look at Ye Jie with doubtful eyes, hoping to get an explanation from him.

Ye Jie coughed dryly and said: "She obtained a good baptism effect during the spiritual baptism by tearing off the remaining pages of the book of life and death, and her strength improved by leaps and bounds."

Hua Xiaomei accepted this statement and said with emotion: "I thought that the baptism of superior spiritual power was all a scam, but I didn't expect that someone could really use the baptism of spiritual power to reach the peak level of the first level."

After a pause, she continued: "However, if your strength increases too quickly, it is easy to make your own foundation unstable, so that your spiritual power becomes inflated. You have to settle it down, especially don't neglect the practice of the techniques. At least master them. Only with soul-breaking arrows and soul-binding ropes can one be considered a qualified ghost."

Nan Linghe nodded, his shining eyes falling on Ye Jie without blinking.

A few people chatted for a while, and then with the help of the power of the Shukuchi Stone, they returned to the outside of Master Black Eagle's cave.

The sky turned dark, dark clouds filled the sky, the light gradually faded, and a dull and depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone. The huge and deep cave at the end of the road was like a beast opening its mouth, about to swallow up all hope in the world.

Going deeper inside, the purple magic circle protecting the cave appeared in front of everyone again. What is different from last time is that this time the lines of the array are extremely dim, like a candle swaying in the wind, with the possibility of breaking at any time. Ye Jie looked around, took out the Green Ming Zhi and carefully inspected the surroundings of the formation. After a while, he came to the conclusion:

"There are traces of the Nether Spirit Array being hit many times. In order to maintain the operation of the array, the spiritual stones buried under the array are about to use up all their spiritual power. If we arrive a moment later, I'm afraid the array will completely fail. At that time, the trapped evil spirits can escape from it.”

Hua Xiaomei understood the situation clearly: "The pale evil spirit is very powerful and has killed countless people. If we can escort it to the Soul-Eating Abyss, I'm afraid we can get a lot of rewards for its evil virtues."

After saying that, she glanced at Nan Linghe again: "Since you have become an official ghost servant, I will not let you suffer. How much virtue you have gained by then will be divided equally between us. What do you think?"

"I have no objection." Nan Linghe replied quickly.

"Compared with Yin De, skills are the most important." Ye Jie reminded, "I checked the classics of the underworld. The body skills used by Master Black Eagle are the Xuan Ying Steps of the lower level. As long as the skills are used, The pace will become extremely vigorous, and the legs will be so fast that they can pull out the afterimage, which can be said to be a rare and superior body technique."

Hua Xiaomei was overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Is that the method of the ghost-immortal way?"

"Yes." Ye Jie nodded, "It's just that according to the records of the underworld, Xuanying Step has a shortcoming, which is that it consumes a lot of spiritual energy in the body. Second-level ghosts like us can't perform it for a while, and they will It consumes all the spiritual power in the body and can only be used at critical moments."

Fu Ling realized something in her heart and said with emotion: "I'll tell you why I was hung far behind him last time. It turns out that he still has such a skill. People who don't practice the body skill will probably not even have his body." You can’t even touch the corners of your clothes.”

"Be careful. After the magic circle is broken, what awaits us is probably a fierce battle!"

Ye Jie reminded everyone, and when he saw that everyone was ready, he took out the Green Mingzhi and gently tapped it towards the purple barrier in front of him.

As the dim dead branches came into contact with the mysterious magic circle lines, the purple barrier in front of everyone quietly shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks continued to spread towards the surroundings. The magic circle, which is already weak in spiritual power, is disintegrating at an unimaginable speed and will soon come to an end.

Everyone held their breath and concentrated, waiting for the arrival of a powerful enemy.

The brilliance of the magic circle gradually receded, and as soon as the ghost magic circle was broken open, what came oncoming was not a green-faced, fanged, extremely ferocious ghost, but a strong stench.

Looking around, several people quickly identified the source of the stench, which came from a mummy with shriveled skin and no longer a human shape. The mummy looked like a human, but had no arms, and there were still remains under the body that had long since faded. Dried blood.

"It's him. This mummy is Master Black Eagle... He has done many evil things in his life, so he dies well."

Thinking of the scene where the pale evil spirit tore off Master Black Eagle's arms before escaping from the cave, Fuling was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward, preparing to check carefully, but was stopped by Ye Jie.

"Be careful, the pale evil spirit that killed Master Black Eagle may still be hiding in this cave." Ye Jie said warily.

Looking around, I saw that the originally flat cave wall was covered with extremely sharp scratches, all the seats were smashed, and even Master Black Eagle's spiritual summoning flag was torn into several pieces. .

Ye Jie's reminder is not unreasonable. Just looking at the tragic traces, one can imagine how violent the pale evil spirit trapped inside is. If he acts rashly, it may cause unexpected accidents that no one wants to see.

Fuling also realized Ye Jie's concern, turned her head and said nothing.

Everyone explored the cave, but could not find any trace of the pale evil spirit, nor could they find any books. However, they found a few low-grade spiritual stones with hidden traps.

This time Hua Xiaomei learned the lesson and used the soul-breaking arrow to trigger the trap under the spirit stone before taking it into her hands.

"There are six spirit stones in total. If Poria cocos doesn't want it, we can get two for each of us." Hua Xiaomei quickly distributed the spirit stones and happily accepted her share.

Seeing that the pale evil ghost could not be found anywhere, Nan Linghe was a little scared. He hid behind Ye Jie, grabbed his robe and asked: "That pale evil ghost, where did she go?"

Ye Jie frowned: "Maybe there are other exits in the cave. The moment the Nether Spirit Array is broken, the cave is open to the outside world. Maybe she ran away from other locations."

"Brother Jie, don't worry about those evil spirits. It's more important to find the technique."

Hua Xiaomei stared at Master Black Eagle's mummy, with a hint of greed in her eyes. She rubbed her hands and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't find the classics. Wait until I summon Master Black Eagle's soul. Let's see what I do." Torture the method of practicing Xuan Yingbu."

A thin layer of black mist rubbed out from Hua Xiaomei's palms. She covered the head of the mummy with both palms. The black mist clung to it, as if a dark curtain was covering the face of the mummy.

"That's...Yun Zhemu? What are you doing?" Ye Jie was stunned and then asked.

Hua Xiaomei smiled confidently: "Brother Jie hasn't learned how to cover the eyes with clouds yet? This is my unique experience. As long as the eyes of the deceased are sealed with clouds, and then the soul is summoned, the effect of clouds covering the eyes will be directly transferred to the summoner. Come to the soul."

After saying that, Hua Xiaomei glanced at the mummy at her feet: "Master Black Eagle followed the path of ghosts and immortals. Several days have passed since his death, and he missed the best time to attract souls. Not only that, He had great resentment in his heart when he died, and I am afraid that his soul has turned into a ghost, so these preparations must be made."

"That makes sense." Ye Jie nodded and secretly wrote down the usage of Yun Zhanmu.

Fu Ling, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but urge: "Hurry up and start attracting souls. When you attract Master Black Eagle's soul, I will teach him a lesson."

Hua Xiaomei patted the forehead of the mummy and said softly: "The soul is back!"

The next moment, a terrifying momentum that caused everyone's expressions to change drastically erupted from the mummy. The terrifying pressure made it difficult to even breathe.

"What..." Hua Xiaomei was stunned. Before she could finish her words, she was swept away by the pale palm that came out of the mummy. Her body hit the cave wall heavily, and her soul was severely damaged!
