Xiao Yi hugged Zhao Ling and rolled to the lawn next to the bench, then looked up in the direction of the source force bomb.

At this time, on the driveway by the lawn by the lake, two people stood next to a silver-white car. One of them is Zhao Ling's brother Zhao Junfu. And the other woman standing beside him was Zhao Junfu's personal guard, Su Xue.

After Xiao Yi stood up, he blocked Zhao Ling behind him, and his eyes flashed: "Who are you?" ”

"Brother...... Brother" Zhao Ling, who was in Xiao Yi's arms, said in a weak voice.

"Brother?" Xiao Yi felt a trace of doubt in his heart.

Zhao Junfu took a step forward and snorted coldly: "Zhao Ling, I should have told you." You will have to stay in your room and not go out until the ceremony starts today. ”

Hearing her brother's reprimand, Zhao Ling was a little scared, and shrank behind Xiao Yi and didn't dare to move.

"Hey, even if you are Ling'er's brother, you don't have the qualifications and reasons to restrict her freedom. ”

"People from the Xiao family?" Zhao Junfu tilted his head, completely looking down on Xiao Yi, "What, you want to stop my Zhao family." ”

"What if you stop it!" Xiao Yi did not lose at all in terms of momentum, "I will see who can take her away from me today." ”

"Su Xue, you go and bring Zhao Ling over. ”

"Yes!"

Su Xue, who was preparing to fight against Xiao Yi, had a bad expression, her eyes were blank, and her words were like an emotionless robot.

"What do you want to do, do you want to use the source power without the 'Heaven Covering Array'?"

But Xiao Yi's words did not alert the other party, Su Xue shook her right hand, and a red and black talisman appeared in her hand. As the source power was infused into the talisman, the card directly turned into a metal fist with orange flames.

"Beast Charm!"

Xiao Yi immediately saw through the details of the opponent's moves, but at this time, Su Xue, who had no scruples at all, had already raised her fist and wanted to smash it on Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi couldn't dodge in order to protect Zhao Ling, so he could only block in front of him with both hands, and used the red overlord source power to build a pair of gloves and arm guards on his hands, and steadily received Su Xue's punch.

While blocking the attack, Xiao Yi's side appeared a piece of armor patchwork with a transparent body, and an overlord stand-in completely constructed from source spirit particles.

After the overlord stand-in appeared, it was a whip leg, and if Su Xue hadn't flashed fast, he would have to kick it directly in the face.

Xiao Yi shook his somewhat sour hand: "You can actually put dead things into the beast control talisman." ”

"Hahaha, it's really traditional as always, you old families. Zhao Junfu sneered disdainfully, "Our family's beast control talisman has already been dissected with science and technology, and we have a clearer understanding of the operation of the talisman seal. Not to mention dead objects related to particles, even everyday items can be put into card charms in the future. ”

After saying that, Su Xue took out two more rune seals and flicked them casually, and the rune seals that received the source power infusion ignited flames, and turned into two flame attack wolves that could levitate in mid-air and have flames on their bodies.

In a confrontation just now, Xiao Yi already knew that the other party's strength was weaker than his own. So next, she's going to take the initiative.

With a forward sprint, Xiao Yi approached Su Xue at an extremely fast speed, and the red source spirit particles continued to condense in the glove to increase the destructive power. The other party did not show weakness, and also raised his big fist gloves, and directly confronted Xiao Yi.

The two flame wolves didn't care about Xiao Yi, but flew directly towards Zhao Ling. Seeing the hungry wolf flying towards her, Zhao Ling was so frightened that she didn't dare to scream, so she could only close her eyes and hold her head tightly.

However, Xiao Yi was actually prepared, and the two flame wolves directly collided with the shield that Qiu Ni, the "shield bird" Qiu Ni left behind, with wings. It was Xiao Yi's guardian spirit, and there were four of them.

Qiu Ni is a special bird whose whole body is covered in steel recorded in the "Records of Experiences on the Four Continents", and is called "shield bird" because its wing joints can be twisted and combined to form the shape of a shield.

After the flame attack wolf's collision was blocked, Xiao Yi's overlord stand-in directly struck two knives and split the two fire wolves in half. The dead Flame Attack Wolf turned back into a sigil and was completely unusable.

The fighter plane was fleeting, and after the flame attack wolf was resolved, the source power of Su Xue's body, which was the source power provider, fluctuated, resulting in an oversight, and was hit in the abdomen by an elbow from Xiao Yi's sideways, and flew out directly.

Seeing Su Xue flying towards him, Zhao Junfu was unceremonious, and shook his right hand casually, knocking Su Xue aside.

"Are you planning to stop the Guqiu Ceremony, people from the Xiao family?" Zhao Junfu's tone was already filled with anger.

"Guqiu Ceremony, you are the Zhao family during the Imperial Period?"

This is a very famous ceremony in the history of China, and it also has a popular name, called the ritual of worshiping the heavens. It is to choose human beings with "ten thousand spirit constitutions" to perform living sacrifices, in order to pray for good weather and fewer disasters in the coming year. And the people who performed this ritual in ancient times were the ancestors of the current Zhao family.

Of course, this ritual was banned 30 years ago, but in the last 10 years or so, the country has been plagued by many disasters, plagues, earthquakes, locust plagues, and severe winters.

Therefore, the Zhao family proposed to the Monk Inspectorate to use the method of cloning people to perform living sacrifices. After several twists and turns, the Zhao family's proposal was passed, but the ceremony could only be carried out in secret. And tonight is the day of the first ritual with a clone.

"Impossible!" Xiao Yi said categorically, "Human cloning technology is forbidden to be studied in my country, and it is impossible for your case to be approved!"

"Hahaha, you're so stupid. Can't you see it? Zhao Ling is a clone of a half-goblin. She just has my 'All Souls Physique' genes, but it's enough for the ritual. ”

"This ......"

The so-called semi-goblin refers to the hybrids born from the cross between the goblin family and humans. The current human rights of this type of mongrel in human territory are not protected by national laws or the Treaty of Downer. To put it simply, it means that the identity is not legitimate.

"Enough!" Zhao Ling, who was behind Xiao Yi, suddenly shouted.

She ran from afar, hugged Xiao Yi from behind and said, "Xiao Yi, you have done enough for me." I'm glad to see you today. ”

"Yes...... But. ”

Zhao Ling shook her head and asked Xiao Yi not to speak: "I'm fine, from the day I was made, I existed to be a living sacrifice for the Guqiu Ritual. I'll go back with my brother. ”

"No!" Xiao Yi wanted to turn around and hold Zhao Ling's hand, but was thrown away by the other party.

Zhao Ling had a smile on her face, but the corners of her eyes were moist: "Didn't you say it before? So, let me go. Farewell, Xiao Yi. ”
