"Boom ......"

Violent tremors spread from behind along the ground under the feet of Jiang Yao and the others. Jiang Yao, whose center of gravity was unstable, stumbled and was almost knocked to the ground, but fortunately he was supported by Lu Xingyue on the side.

"Are you alright!?"

"I, I'm fine, let's go......" Jiang Yao gasped, and as the golden inscription on the back of his hand gradually faded, Jiang Yao's face became more and more pale.

Although he had relied on the cooperation of the three of them and the illusion power that Jiuya had lent to Jiang Yao to temporarily set up Qi Qi, Jiang Yao himself knew that this was just an expedient measure. What's more, at the moment when his body was weak, he used his god and mana one after another, and his body was on the verge of limit. And the situation of Lu Xingyue and Mu Jianyun next to them was not much better, and the continuous battle made the three of them already scarred.

"This shakes...... I'm afraid our trap has been broken, and he is about to catch up!"

Mu Jianyun said, looking worriedly at the dark wilderness behind him. Even if they had successfully passed through the 'Ghost City' barrier and followed the secret passage of the ruined temple to the outskirts of Xudu, this did not mean that the crisis had passed, and with Qiqi's strength, it would only be a matter of minutes to catch up with them.

"We must not let Qiqi enter the county seat of Xudu to harm the people, we have to go in the opposite direction of the county seat and lead him to the outskirts of the mountainous area where no one ......"

“…… Hmph, do you think you can still run?"

Before the words fell, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky, and the cold demon wind mixed with the icy and piercing murderous aura rushed to the ground in an instant, knocking the three of them to the ground at once.

"Uh-huh......!"

The extremely oppressive wind pressure caused Jiang Yao to fly upside down in an instant, and fell the edge of a rock. Jiang Yao only felt a tightness in his chest, turned his head and spat blood, but this bad luck was not over, before he could get up, his throat was violently choked by a cold claw, and suddenly a feeling of suffocation surged up to his head.

"Let it go...... Let go of my ......!"

Jiang Yao struggled desperately, but he couldn't remove the hand that was choking his throat at all, he felt that his body was being lifted in the air by the hideous-looking orange-haired man in front of him, and he couldn't do anything about it.

"Hmph, aren't you clever enough to be clever? Why don't you play at this time?"

Qi Qi stared at Jiang Yao's purple face and snorted coldly in a low voice.

"I'll let you know what happens to tease Uncle Ben!"

"Stop——!"

Mu Jianyun shouted angrily, and he drew his sword and was about to swing it at the poor Qi in front of him. However, Qi Qi didn't even look back, just stretched out his hand and waved it at will, and a fierce coercion swept in with a blade-like demon wind, flying Mu Jianyun and Lu Xingyue, who was planning to sneak attack, and blasted straight into the ruins in the distance.

“…… Now, I see who else can save you!"

Qi Qi sneered, he didn't choose to twist Jiang Yao's neck directly, but slowly tightened the hand holding Jiang Yao's neck inch by inch, as if admiring the other party's painful expression before he died. In the continuous state of hypoxia, Jiang Yao's vision has gradually blurred, and his body is extremely prostration, and he is no longer able to evoke the ocean of energy in his body at this time, and even the Chiyou consciousness that had awakened for a moment before fell into a deep sleep again after absorbing his fifth soul "Sparrow Yin".

Damn it...... I don't want to die...... I can't die!!

"Puff...... Puff ...... Puff ......

The violent heartbeat like a drum beat on Jiang Yao's eardrum, and in his blurred consciousness, he suddenly felt a hot energy gradually rising from his left pocket, as if something was responding to his heartbeat, and began to move with his accelerated heartbeat.

This, this feeling...... It's that black stone again!?

"Ka...... Kara...... Bang!'

The cracking sound continued to spread from Jiang Yao's pocket, and finally evolved into a loud bang! In an instant, I saw a thick black mist erupt from Jiang Yao's pocket, and then the mist accumulated into a black shadow like a dragon, turning his head and roaring away at Qiqi's front door!

"Roaring ——!!"

"What!?"

The sudden change made Qi Qi feel bad, and he had no choice but to throw Jiang Yao and fly into the air, which was able to avoid the attack of the black shadow.

"This is ...... 'Teng Snake'! You kid actually has the 'Teng Snake Egg' on you!?"

Qi Qi looked at the black giant shadow hovering beside Jiang Yao, and his face showed disbelief. I saw the monster bat wing snake body in front of me, ink scales and blood pupils, and the body of more than ten meters long was surrounded by mist, there was no doubt that this was the divine beast 'Teng Snake'. At this time, the newly hatched hatchling Teng Snake was standing on its body, surrounding Jiang Yao in an attacking posture.

"Damn...... Who the hell are you, and why do you have this!?"

Qi Qi, who came back to his senses, glared at Jiang Yao angrily, and Jiang Yao, who was confused, didn't have time to answer Qi Qi's question, so he was rolled up by the Teng snake next to him and instantly jumped into the dense forest in the distance.

"Bastard! Don't try to run!"

Seeing that the prey that reached his mouth flew again, Qiqi was simply furious. He immediately waved his bone wings and chased after Jiang Yao's back.

"Whew—"

The blade-like demonic wind mixed with the cyan poisonous mist swept through the dense forests of the mountains with a force that swept through the mountains, and the trees polluted by the poison of the poor also withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, those poisonous gas wind blades caught up with the fleeing Teng Snake and Jiang Yao, instantly cutting off the road ahead of the mountain and rock, and stopping them alive.

"Ahem...... Ahem, ahem, ahem, ......!"

Jiang Yao clutched his chest and coughed painfully. Although the protection of the snake prevented him from being killed on the spot, he inevitably inhaled a few puffs of poisonous gas during the chase, and now he felt that his lungs were burning and aching, and even breathing became a little difficult.

"Run, I'll let you run!Do you think a mere juvenile snake can protect you!?"

Soon, Qiqi's voice followed. After a series of unexpected misses, Qiqi's face was already full of impatience.

"I'll use your head to give it to the gluttony as a gift!"

"Hehe, I want you more than his head, Qiqi. ”

The lazy voice descended from the sky with a violent hurricane, and behind the poisonous fog dispersed by the wind pressure, a red phantom flashed out of the darkness like a ghost, and kicked Qiqi's head.

Qi Qi's expression changed slightly, and he immediately dodged to the side, only to hear a sharp sound of breaking wind brushing his scalp, and in an instant, the original location of Qi Qi was all in ruins.

"Gluttony, gluttony......!?Why are you here!"

Jiang Yao, who was half-kneeling on the ground, barely raised his head, but found that a familiar figure slowly appeared in the dust. The person who came was none other than the gluttonous who had mysteriously disappeared before.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for so many years, your skills have regressed a lot, are you stupid? ”

At this time, the gluttony did not pay attention to Jiang Yao's questioning, but stood in front of Jiang Yao, looked directly at Qi Qi's bloody face on his forehead, and said sarcastically.

“…… You've finally shown up. ”

Qi Qi gritted his teeth and stared at the red-haired man in front of him, his eyes were not only cold, but also mixed with a trace of resentment.

"For more than 100 years, I have been thinking about what you have become when you choose to become a human lackey!"

"Hehe, it turns out that you deliberately escaped from the 'Spirit Terrace' just to see me?" said with a gluttonous smile. "Now that you've seen it, you can get out. ”

"What, do you want to drive me away so much?" Qi Qi waved his bone wings, looking down at Tao Tao and Jiang Yao below with cold eyes, and his words were full of ill intentions. Or ...... Are you so afraid that I'll kill that kid?"

"It's up to you, save it. If you could really use all your strength, I'm afraid this alcohol would have been wiped out long ago. Tao Tao calmly looked into the air, his red eyes reflecting Qi Qi's indifferent face.

"Do you think I didn't see it? Your mana seal hasn't been completely unlocked. ”

"......" Qi Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't speak.

"Although I don't know who barely tore a hole in the seal on your body, forcibly using demonic power while the seal is still unbroken will only cause wear and tear on you. You don't know that, do you?" Gluttony shook his head and continued.

"Kill that kid at the expense of himself, how did he offend you? Or ...... That's what you mean by 'the guy behind the scenes'?"

"Hmph, I still need to explain to you what I want to do?" Qi Qi, who had lost his patience, didn't bother to answer at all, and as he spoke, the demonic poisonous mist that wrapped around Qi Qi's body gathered again, and the cold demonic wind spread around with a powerful coercion, even more violent than before.

"I'll ask you one last sentence, do you choose to continue to be the lackey of the 'Spirit Terrace', or do you choose to give up sheltering that kid and go with me!"

"Whether it's more than a hundred years ago, or now, I have always had one answer. ”

In the face of Qiqi's ultimatum, Glutton's expression was still calm. "Until I find 'that answer,' I'll clear any obstacles, even you. ”

"Good...... Very good!Since you have made up your mind to be a 'traitor', then don't blame me for being polite!" Qi Qi's face was hideous, and his body trembled slightly. "You're with that kid...... Die!!"

"Rumble——!!

The cold wind and poisonous mist erupted violently in the violent shock! In an instant, a huge demonic shadow loomed behind Qi Qi, and the fierce demonic aura that burst out even changed color from heaven and earth. It's just that this scene didn't last long, just when Qi Qi's demonic energy reached its peak, Qi Qi's own face seemed to become more and more gray, and how could this flaw escape the gluttonous gaze.

"As I said, you're depleting yourself. ”

Before the words fell, the gluttonous figure suddenly jumped up in the air again, easily dodging the flying wind blade, and rushed straight to Qiqi in mid-air.

"With you now, you are no match for me at all. ”

"You!?" Qi Qi was shocked, but it was too late to dodge at this point, he could only watch as the red-haired man in front of him tore through the poisonous mist of the enclosure and stretched his hand to his neck.

"Whoa!"

Just as the moment of the moment, two chains wrapped with strange golden light suddenly burst out of the thick fog and stabbed straight towards the gluttonous chest! The latter's expression moved, and he immediately withdrew his fists and dodged. With a piercing whistling sound, the two chains slammed into the rocks behind the gluttony, turning the entire rocks into powder in an instant.

“…… Oh, it's you again. ”

Gluttony stared coldly at the ghostly black shadow that appeared beside Qi Qi, and then moved his gaze to the object in the other party's hand that emitted a strange golden light, and his face gradually sank.

"I just didn't expect it...... This time, you've got a lot of stuff on your hands. ”

Gluttony stared at the skull-like white mask on the black shadow's face and said slowly.

"It turns out that the 'Soul Suppression Stone' is in your hand...... 'Puppet Undead'. ”
