Chapter 17: The Shadow of Six Years
Jiang Zhou's speed was so fast that he came to Shen Lu as if he was teleporting, and raised his foot to sweep towards Shen Lu.
Shen Lu had no way to avoid this extremely fast move, and under the thrill, he had a whim, conjured up a wooden gun in his hand, supported the ground with the tip of the gun, and his feet were in the air, and he directly bounced himself into the air.
Jiang Zhou also changed his moves very quickly, after kicking the wooden gun with one kick, he kicked the other foot high and kicked upward, aiming directly at Shen Lu's chest and abdomen.
It's a stupid thing to do in the air, because you can only fall in the air, and you can't adjust your body's position. Coupled with the other party's angry shot, if this kick is hit head-on, Shen Lu will definitely suffer extremely serious internal injuries, and it is possible to break the eight veins again.
At this moment, Shen Lu remembered the despair he felt when he was interrupted by Yin Qiansheng six years ago. Six years ago, I couldn't put up any resistance, and I won't let this happen again six years later!
Shen Lu bought two cards in the system with great speed. One-star skill Wind Sand, two-star enhancement card. After strengthening the Wind and Sand with a strengthening card, the quality of this card has been improved to two stars, and the power has also evolved to the quadruple of Zhou Ying Realm!
After throwing out the skill card, the extremely strong spiral hurricane surrounded Shen Lu and Jiang Zhou, and Jiang Zhou's raised kick naturally couldn't withstand the violent wind, so he could only hurriedly fall down and use his feet to stabilize his body.
Shen Lu fell to the ground, crawled out of the range of the wind and sand, and shouted to Mu Chen on the side in embarrassment: "I'll drag him here, you go to the sect to move the rescuers." ”
"Okay, you wait here, I'll be right back. After Mu Chen finished speaking, he really flew away in the chaos.
The power of the wind and sand gradually decreased, and Shen Lu hurriedly turned over the system, and suddenly felt a burst of despair. Tempest Sand plus a two-star enhancement card costs 12 points. Shen Lu currently only has 11 points.
At this time, Shen Lu had run out of gas, and the items in his inventory were almost exhausted, and he had lost most of his counterattack ability due to injury.
But the strange thing is that Shen Lu did not feel any fear because of this, but felt that his mind was several times clearer than usual, and his various senses had also improved significantly. For example, vision, what Shen Lu saw in his sight at the moment became extremely clear. For example, hearing, many details of the surrounding birds and animals can be heard in the ears, and they can clearly distinguish their location.
[Ding, the mana attribute is about to awaken. Attributes: ???;Rarity: Seven Stars. 】
The mana attribute of the rarity of the seven stars, and it is automatically awakened, without any help from the system!
Wow, could it be that Lao Tzu is a legendary genius physique?
"You, why did you save Mu Chen?"
The wind and sand disappeared completely, and Jiang Zhou dragged his seriously injured body and walked towards Shen Lu step by step. He was furious, he was angry, but he couldn't figure it out. The two who were supposed to be enemies of each other, why did they not become enemies at their own instigation, but joined forces at a critical moment.
"You'll never understand. Shen Lu smiled indifferently, and once again conjured up a variety of wooden guns, put on a posture, and waited for the other party to attack.
Shen Lu is not Jiang Zhou's opponent, and it is wishful thinking to even take another move from the other party. But inexplicably, Shen Lu did not have the slightest panic and nervousness, and even faintly felt a sense of excitement.
This kind of extreme battle of life and death at any time seems to have triggered some kind of hidden potential in Shen Lu's body!
If the other party really attacks, it is not certain who loses and who wins!
"Do it!"
Extremely abruptly, Mu Chen appeared out of thin air!
While shouting for Shen Lu to make a move, he threw out a confinement talisman in his hand.
At the same time as the spell exploded, several chains sprang out from the ground under Jiang Zhou's feet, like a spirit snake under Mu Chen's control, circling and entwining Jiang Zhou's lower plate.
Jiang Zhou's legs were instantly imprisoned, but he reacted very quickly to dodge the chain that wanted to bind his right hand, and grabbed it forward, directly grabbed Mu Chen's placket, pulled him towards him, and said viciously: "If you don't run away if you have a chance, then die together!"
God knows how much Mu Chen wanted to run at that time, because staying here is very likely to cause the two of them to die together. The two of them were sent to death together, at most, it was delayed for a long time, and only a fool would die in vain like this.
But Mu Chen happens to be such a fool.
Jiang Zhou used too much force, tore the clothes on Mu Chen's chest, and immediately saw a tattoo on Mu Chen's chest.
"You...... You are!" Jiang Zhou was extremely shocked and glared at Mu Chen in amazement.
"Bow your head!" Shen Lu's voice came from behind, and Mu Chen lowered his head extremely cooperatively, leaving a gap for Shen Lu to attack.
Jiang Zhou's mentality changed greatly the moment he discovered the tattoo on Mu Chen's chest. He had planned to die with these two boys, but now he had changed his mind.
"Be sure to tell the castle keeper the news!"
Jiang Zhou pushed Mu Chen in his hand forward fiercely, crashing into Shen Lu, and at the same time tried his best to break free from the chains on his body.
Mu Chen and Shen Lu, who were thrown out, collided together, and the two fell at the same time. When the two of them got up in embarrassment, Jiang Zhou had already broken free from the restraints and fled to the depths of the dense forest.
Mu Chen gasped in pain, and at the same time scolded Shen Ludao: "Create such a good opportunity for you, you can't beat Jiang Zhou, what a waste!"
"What you said is light, Lao Tzu doesn't accept you, let your head hit the ground and open the scoop directly!
After the two scolded each other a few words, they both lay on the ground as if they had collapsed, and they no longer had any strength.
[Complete the main quest!!Rewards: 3 N cards, +60 points.] 】
[It's a pity that the awakening of the mana attribute failed, please keep up the good work.] 】
[Hidden Mission Trigger: Kill Jiang Zhou Alone!] Time limit: five days. Success Reward: Awakened Mana Attribute. Failure Penalty: None. 】
Looking at a series of system prompts, Shen Lu shouted pity in his heart.
Just now, he was close to awakening, as long as he could win the victory in the case of Jiang Zhou alone, he should be able to awaken. Who knew that Mu Chen suddenly came back to save himself, so he disrupted this hidden mission.
However, of course, Shen Lu would not be stupid enough to hold a grudge against Mu Chen, but was extremely grateful to him, smiled and said, "Thank you, senior brother." I didn't expect you to have an invisibility spell too, and you're willing to come back to save me. ”
Mu Chen was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "You have been following me incognito before, and you heard the conversation between me and Jiang Zhou. You didn't have to show up, but you suddenly attacked, why?"
"Half of it is to avenge Senior Sister, and half of it is because I don't want Senior Brother to let you be controlled by Yin Qiansheng again. ”
"Hah, why am I even half of it? You're such a weirdo. ”
Mu Chen reached out and touched the tattoo on his chest that was seen by Jiang Zhou, his eyes flashed a trace of desolation, and he secretly said in his heart: "Sister, my identity seems to have been discovered, and it seems that I am going to wander around again." Sister, where are you?"
......
In the evening, Shen Lu and Mu Chen reluctantly returned to Baili Sect with each other's support, and the two of them fainted outside the gate together.
It didn't take long for them to be discovered by a passing disciple and taken to the infirmary.
In a daze, Shen Lu suddenly felt extreme pain in his injured wrist. When I opened my eyes, it turned out that Yiyi was helping me rub the bruise on the injured area, and I was lying on the bed in the hospital at the moment.
"Ahh Shen Lu let out a scream like killing a pig, gritted his teeth and kicked his legs on the bed, like a fish thrown on land, jumping back and forth.
Dugu Yiyi rubbed the bruise on Shen Lu's wrist and said, "If you don't rub the blood away, your arm will be ruined!" Master, bear with it." ”
Shen Lu could only grit his teeth and endure it, waiting for Yiyi to be medicated, fixed, and bandaged. After everything was done, Shen Lu had the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief, and told what happened to him today, and finally said: "Jiang Zhou, Mu Chen, Lu Yanfei, and Tao Pengfei from the Eastern Courtyard, these four are all people who guard Yin Qiansheng too much. Now that Jiang Zhou has run away, Mu Chen has abandoned evil and followed good, and the remaining two must be arrested first, so that they have a bargaining chip to confront Yin Qiansheng. ”
Yiyi was shocked, she really didn't expect Yin Qiansheng to arrange so many chess pieces around her, including Mu Chen, the eldest apprentice she trusted before.
The world is sinister, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Who else in this world can be trusted? It seems that only Master is left.
"Then Master, you rest first, and I'll go and arrest people myself. Remember not to move, your injuries are severe. ”
"Wait. What about Mu Chen, how is he? And Fang Lan, is her hand healed?" Shen Lu stopped Fang Lan and asked.
"You're much more seriously injured than them, isn't it good to care more about yourself?" Yiyi complained distressedly before answering Shen Ludao: "Mu Chen just used too many talismans and overused mana, and he will be fine after two days of rest." Fang Lan's external injuries were very serious, but fortunately he did not hurt his meridians, and he could fully recover in less than two months if he recuperated properly. As for you, Master, your bones and meridians have been severely damaged, and if you don't have the best pills to treat you, it is very likely that you will be left with serious sequelae. ”
Yiyi said, her eyes were slightly red, and she almost fell into tears.
Shen Lu had seen this posture and hurriedly persuaded: "Don't don't, don't be, I'm really fine, this little injury is nothing." And you've forgotten who I am? It's a big deal that I take the time to go to the clergy guild and ask a psychic to go to the headquarters to ask for some elixir to eat, what kind of injury can't be cured?"
"Yes, it's okay!" Yiyi raised her eyebrows, hurriedly helped Shen Lu to sit up and said, "Let's leave now, your injuries can't be delayed." ”
Shen Lu smiled and said, "Aren't you going to arrest Lu Yanfei and Tao Pengfei?"
"Uh, yes, then I'm going to arrest someone. Yiyi's thoughts were already in chaos at this time, and he had already lost his master.
After all, she was only a young girl in her early twenties, and although she was the suzerain, she had never dealt with such a thorny civil strife. was already drawn into the entanglement of forces in Syracuse City, which had already exhausted her. At this time, coupled with the betrayal of the people around her, she felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.
Looking at Yiyi's somewhat dazed expression when she left, Shen Lu probably understood her dazedness.
This kind of loneliness was experienced by Shen Lu once six years ago.
At that time, the betrayal of relatives, the call of heaven at that time, and the loneliness and helplessness at that time all left Shen Lu's indelible psychological shadow. Today, six years later, Shen Lu's most important friend Fang Lan was seriously injured, and Shen Lu's most important apprentice, Yiyi, fell into despair.
And whether it was six years ago or six years later, the initiator of all this is one person: Yin Qiansheng.
"Old thing, I wanted to clean you up last, but I didn't know that you couldn't wait to die. Count the old and new hatreds together, I must make you pay the heaviest price!"
