Chapter 829: Jixia Academy, Student Mo Cheng
[Dark Tide] A strange phenomenon that appeared hundreds of years ago, where darkness engulfs a certain area like a wave. Any creature that does not have time to escape from that area will be disturbed by the dark tide and undergo some kind of change.
Bloodthirsty and murderous, with the purest malice towards any life.
Each [Dark Tide] has rules that are completely different from the outside world, and at the same time, some kind of aliens will be born within the [Dark Tide].
[Underworld Demons], these creatures are not within the Five Elements and Six Paths, and it is even difficult to confirm whether they can be considered living beings. Some [Underworld Demons] appear as entities, while some [Underworld Demons] are simply a certain rule within the [Dark Tide].
The [Leader of the Dark Demons] are [Dark Demons] that appear in human form. They are bloodthirsty and murderous by nature, and have strong control over the creatures in the [Dark Tide].
The Hades demon that appeared in front of the two men was wearing heavy armor, and the warhorse he was sitting on was spewing black smoke with every breath. The four horse hooves stepped out of the flames of war. The leader of the Hades demons held a spear in his hand, and he looked like a ghost from hell.
The warhorse approached slowly and landed silently. Even its huge size did not seem to have any effect of gravity on it.
"Be careful, I may not be able to take care of you later." The white-haired woman looked solemn, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji with both hands, "The rules of heaven and earth in this place [Dark Tide] have been changed, and I don't know what will happen."
But I know.
In Mo Cheng's eyes, the Dark Demon Leader exuded a red light representing a threat. As an outsider, he could feel what had been changed better than anyone else. He knew clearly what rules had been changed in the [Dark Tide].
The Shura difficulty in Dynasty Warriors, or the Hell and Hell difficulty in Devil May Cry 5.
In other words, no matter whether it is our side or the enemy, one strike will kill them all.
Whoever gets hit first will die.
"Girl, I'm here to help you."
It was impossible for Mo Cheng to just watch the white-haired woman fight without knowing anything and then die. He was very unfamiliar with this world. Whether he could figure out what this place was like depended on the person next to him.
As he spoke, Mo Cheng raised his toes and kicked a wooden stick beside his feet up. Holding the stick, Mo Cheng immediately made a few sword moves to show that he was not powerless.
"I am a student from Jixia. Mo Cheng, the young lady has not asked for your advice."
There are not many memories in this body, most of which are trivial fragments that do not form a complete picture, but the identity of "Jixia Student" is clearly remembered.
Mo Cheng, a student of Jixia Academy, has achieved the title of scholar and is now traveling around the country to study.
This is the time when Mo Cheng can obtain all the memories about his own identity.
"My name is Shen Xueqi, and I am from the mountains."
Shen Xueqi swung her Fang Tian Huaji, and suddenly her feet became icy and frosty. Countless ice cones protruded from below and pierced countless dark tide creatures.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, several ice cones did not directly pierce the Dark Tide creatures, but simply scratched their fur. However, they were only slightly injured, and the Dark Tide creatures, which should have continued to be alive and well, died suddenly.
"The rules of this place may have been changed to [Kill on contact], so don't get hurt."
"Oh, that's insightful."
The Dark Demon Leader seemed to have heard the conversation between Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi. His voice was like the friction of steel, heavy and harsh. There was a strange corrosive force in his words, which constantly interfered with Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi's spiritual perception.
"Fang Tian Hua Ji, I wonder how capable the person holding this halberd is?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Cheng swung the wooden stick in his hand towards his side. His intention came before his sword came out. There was a sound of metal clashing, and the spear was shaken away. At the same time, the wooden stick in his hand was broken into two pieces by the huge force.
After all, it is just a wooden stick. It would be too difficult for it to use it to block the spear of the Dark Demon Leader.
But the spear was blocked for only a moment, and the next moment it opened its mouth like a giant python and bit towards Mo Cheng fiercely.
Holding a wooden stick that was less than one-third of its original length, facing the giant python with its mouth wide open as if it was about to swallow the sky, Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but in his heart he began to wonder whether he should risk his life here and exchange his life with that of the Hades Demon Leader in front of him.
He didn't know whether the rules of this place could apply to him, but even if he made the worst plan, he would still be affected by the rule of [One Hit Kill], and Mo Cheng could also be resurrected with the skill [Jue Ming Regeneration].
Although the cooldown time of [Absolute Regeneration] is a bit long, but...
Mo Cheng was still not happy about losing his life when he first arrived at this place.
Just when Mo Cheng wanted to retreat to avoid the attack, he saw the long spear swung vigorously, and it came across horizontally, as if it had nailed the giant python's vital point, leaving it with no place to exert force.
Along with the halberd came a cold voice, "Master once said that the Dark Demon Commander goes against life and cannot communicate with living beings. Since you can speak, you are just a Dark Demon, not a Commander."
"Humph!" As if some secret had been revealed, the Dark Demon snorted in response, "Killing you is enough."
He drew back the spear, then stood up on his horse, kicked forward with both hooves to force Shen Xueqi away, and at the same time fired a feint to force back Mo Cheng who was trying to attack.
Then the warhorse neighed loudly and ran into the dark tide with all its might. In this place where visibility was only five or six meters, it soon lost track of the dark demon .
But Mo Cheng and Shen Xueqi did not relax, because they could feel that the dark demon had not left yet.
The action just now was not an escape, but a preparation for the next attack launched by the Hades Demon, which required a distance to be created.
If it were somewhere else, the Dark Demon's idea would certainly not be so easily realized, but in this dark environment, visibility is only five or six meters, and spiritual consciousness and spiritual perception are suppressed to a range similar to that of sight. If you rashly chase after the enemy, you can easily be killed by a surprise attack.
When the Nether Demon disappeared, the dark tide of life around it seemed to have retreated as well. The environment in the dark tide was special. Once it was out of sight, even if the sound was as loud as thunder, people five or six meters away would still not be able to hear it.
The darkness all around seemed to swallow up everything; both light and sound disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, a figure rushed out from the darkness and charged towards Shen Xueqi like thunder. The speed was so fast and astonishing that Shen Xueqi had no time to react. When she was about to die, suddenly the spear of the Hades Demon stabbed into the air and the warhorse passed by Shen Xueqi.
It was fast, too fast, so fast that it was difficult to react. If it weren't for the abnormal and abrupt behavior of the Hades Demon just now, Shen Xueqi was sure that she would have no other choice but to die at this moment.
