Chapter 27: Breakthrough
Even if Xu Zhen was mentally prepared, the monster in front of him still startled him.
If there is one word to describe this monster, the first word that Xu Zhen thinks of must be "pure white". He had never seen anyone so white, not the kind of white of the skin, but pure white. From the clothes, skin, to the hair, and the color of the eyes, it is completely pure white with a shimmer of light.
Dazzlingly white. No wonder it glows in the dark.
In addition to pure white, another strange thing about this person is that he is old.
is obviously about the same height as himself, but his old skin is drooping, and heavy wrinkles are piled up on his face, so that people can't even see his appearance clearly, and at a glance, it is all overlapping folds.
And the weird thing is that he is obviously a person with such an old appearance, but he feels strangely young.
The old child squatted on the ground, as if he was tinkering with something, and when Xu Zhen walked over, he just raised his head and smiled at him.
"I*, what is this?"
This exclamation attracted Ju Cailiang too, and he was frightened back a few steps after taking a look, and then he was shocked and said, "What is this?!"
"I don't know, I feel like it's dangerous here, just hurry up and leave. β
Shangguan Tingxue didn't know why, as if he was frozen, standing opposite the old child in a daze, looking ahead.
Xu Zhen said to grab Shangguan Tingxue's hand, it doesn't matter if he doesn't grasp it, as soon as he starts it, his skin is all loose and saggy, and it is full of greasy and slippery mucus, which makes him suddenly have goosebumps.
You don't have to think about it to know that it is not Shangguan Tingxue's hand that you have caught, and the girl's skin looks as smooth as clotted fat, which is definitely not the touch. His heart is not good, but sometimes the reaction of his body is faster than his thoughts, and at the same time as he reacts, he has already seen the old child he caught.
The old child was grabbed by the boy and pulled up, standing up straight, about the same height as the two of them, looking at his grabbed hand, looking very puzzled.
"I'll go!" he hurriedly threw his hand away, and took a few steps back away from the old child.
"Xu Zhen, what's wrong with you?" Ju Cailiang watched Xu Zhen grab the wrist of the old child squatting on the ground and pull it up, and was wondering, Xu Zhen dodged away like an electric shock, as if trying to shake off a poisonous snake, "What are you catching that person for?"
"I didn't know! I wanted to catch her and take her away," Xu Zhen finally calmed down after being shocked and walked back to the girl, "I don't want to touch that monster!"
After being thrown away, the pure white old child squatted back in place without saying a word. I looked down at the ground, not knowing what I was doing.
"Xiao Liang, you go and try her!" Xu Zhenchao listened to Xue Nunu's mouth, wanting to see what ghosts were here.
Ju Cailiang looked at Shangguan Tingxuelu's little hand outside, hesitated for a while, and closed his eyes ruthlessly and grabbed it.
A scream.
It is not from the body that is struck, but from the mind.
"Hey, it's weird!" Xu Zhen couldn't believe his eyes, Ju Cailiang obviously wanted to grab the girl's hand, but in a flash of his eyes, he directly grabbed the old child who was squatting on the ground and pulled him up. He watched the whole process carefully, and suddenly found something, "Xiao Liang, don't let go yet!
Ju Cai Liang Qiang held back the feeling of nausea and nausea, and screamed, "What?!"
The boy pulled the old child out of the way, allowing the other boy to see what he wanted to seeβthe old child was pulled away, revealing the place where he had been standing.
"Okay, I saw it!" Xu Zhen's eyes froze, and he saw what was going on clearly, so he exclaimed: "Jiang Zuo?!"
"What, Jiang Zuo?!" Ju Cai Liang forcibly endured nausea and opened his eyes, and through the old child's shoulder, he also saw what the place where he was originally squatting.
The missing Jiang Zuo was lying quietly on the ground, his eyes wide open, lifeless, judging from the shimmering footprints on his body, the old child was actually standing on Jiang Zuo's chest.
"Why is Jiang Zuo here, what the hell is this??" Ju Cailiang was startled, his hand accidentally let go, and the old child immediately jumped back and squatted on Jiang Zuo's chest again.
Xu Zhen looked at Shangguan Tingxue, who was solidified like a statue, and then at the old child squatting on the ground, and Jiang Zuo at his feet, and sighed: "Why is this happening, I don't know ......"
"But it's not a good thing to look at him!" the boy pointed to the old boy who was squatting on the ground and was not interested in anything outside of him, "We need to get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Xiao Liang, let's work together to hold Tingxue farther away, and when we come back later, you go and pull the old child, I'll help Jiang Zuo, and we'll run away before the old child reacts!"
Xu Zhen tried to give orders for the first time, but the first time he encountered obstacles.
"Why did I pull that old kid, I don't want to touch him at all!" Ju Cailiang was apprehensive about what he had just experienced.
After hearing this, Xu Zhen smiled bitterly: "Because I don't want to ...... either"
Because of the weirdness of the old child, the two were silent at the same time, and the situation fell into a predicament for a while.
Silence is not the way, Ju Cailiang decided to break the deadlock: "Forget it, let's do it with me!" The young man pointed to the motionless girl, "Let's move away first." β
Xu Zhen nodded, and when he just walked to the girl's side, the weird pure white old child suddenly spoke: "No!"
The sudden sound startled the two of them. At the same time, he turned around in a defensive posture.
"No, don't take it...... She!" the old child looked up and said in a staccato manner to the wrinkled faces of the two teenagers, "...... I, I'll give you everything, just don't, take her ......."
The boys looked at each other, then turned their heads away, ignoring the old child.
Seeing that his words were invalid, the old child was anxious, and hurriedly said to Xu Zhen: "You, you want the power to protect yourself...... I, I'll give, you!"
Xu Zhen was stunned when he heard this, his figure suddenly grew taller and stronger, and the clothes on his body were shattered, and he changed from a slightly thin teenager to a strong man in an instant.
The old child said again: "I will give you the strongest internal strength!"
Xu Zhen only felt that a wave of hot air suddenly appeared in his body, filling his whole body in one breath, which suddenly made him feel powerful and infinite.
"I can still give you the strongest weapon!"
The old child's words became more and more fluent, and as soon as his words fell, a sword that exuded a bright light appeared out of nothing and appeared in Xu Zhen's hand.
Can you say what you say?!
Xu Zhen turned his head to look at his companions in horror, only to hear the old child say again.
"I can create another Shangguan Tingxue who only likes you!"
"Is this what I want?"
Before Ju Cailiang could react, a woman hugged him from behind, blew softly in his ear, and whispered, "I'm completely yours!"
He was shocked: "He can really create people out of thin air?!"
"As long as you don't touch her, it's all yours!"
The most powerful temptation was thrown out by the old child, like a powerful killer shot, which immediately put the two teenagers in a dilemma.
"What to do...... Do you save Tingxue and leave here, or accept this invincible power and go away?" Xu Zhen felt the strong power from himself, and his heart was entangled, not knowing what to do.
He looked at Ju Cailiang, who was also silent beside him, who was also struggling with the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms.
β¦β¦
At the same time, a sturdy figure rushed into Pingdong Town and went straight to the small courtyard rented by Xu Heng.
The courtyard gate was not guarded, and the visitor pushed the courtyard door open and roared: "Where is Xu Heng?!
Although the momentum was sufficient, it was a pity that no one paid attention to the five people in the courtyard.
There were five people in total, in a large circle drawn with blood, two lying and three standing. Two of them were lying with peaceful faces, and three of them were standing in place with expressions of expression.
Turning a deaf ear to the roars of those who came.
"What's going on?" Du Yong was a little puzzled.
But now all he thought of was the man in Xuanyi, who ran into several rooms around the circle drawn by blood and searched for it several times, but there was no trace of Xu Heng at all, so he thought of the five people in the big circle, and was ready to step into the circle and catch them to ask what was going on.
As soon as he lifted one foot, an eerie voice sounded behind him, which made him feel a chill.
"If you don't want to die, I advise you, please don't step into that circle. β
β¦β¦
The old child looked excitedly at the embarrassment of the two teenagers, and his eyes sparkled under the layers of wrinkles. The feet squatting on the young man Jiang Zuo's body kept stamping around, and the young man in black didn't react, but when no one was paying attention, he started from the top of his head and slowly turned white. It becomes pure white like an old child.
Xu Zhen struggled for a long time, and finally, finally made up his mind, he clenched his fist full of strength and looked at Ju Cailiang. The latter tightened his hands around the girl's shoulders, his gaze equally determined.
The two looked at each other for a moment, looked at the old child, and were just about to say their decision......
The orange and yellow girl who had been stagnant for a long time suddenly exhaled, turned her head, looked at the two people around her, focused on Xu Zhen's strong physique, and the girl in Jucai Liang's arms, and said softly: "If you don't deserve to have what you have now, how can you do it?"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were shocked.
The old child stopped moving, stood on Jiang Zuo's chest and glared at the girl viciously, without speaking.
The girl looked at Xu Zhen: "The body, you can't exercise it yourself, even if you have it, can you use it freely?"
The boy's sturdy physique shrank in an instant, returning to its original state.
"Strength, you don't get it by cultivating yourself, others can give it to you, and you can take it back. β
The strong internal breath that was full of Xu Zhen's body quickly disappeared as if it appeared.
"The sword, it's not yours, you can't pick it up. β
The sword in his hand was suddenly extremely heavy, and Xu Zhen, who had recovered his original physique, couldn't grasp it at all, and with a bang, the sword fell to the ground.
The girl glanced at Xu Zhen, who was extremely pale.
The girl then turned to the young man with the warm fragrance of nephrite in her arms, and did not look at the boy, but at the girl in his arms. The latter desperately lowered his head and shrank into the young man's arms under his blazing gaze, not daring to look at him at all.
Shangguan listened to Xue and chuckled: "Ha, Ju Cailiang, if you really like me, come and chase me! Use your enthusiasm, martial arts, and talent to impress me! What's the point of being a fake?!"
The girl in Ju Cailiang's arms trembled under the words of the right angle, and in the last question, she turned into an orange-yellow mist and disappeared without a trace.
The girl turned around and looked at the old child standing on Jiang Zuo's chest.
"You have a familiar aura on you, but you're not my uncle!" said the girl, frowning.
"No, listen to the snow, I'm your uncle!" the old child screamed, the white on the young man's body under his feet spread quickly from head to toe, and his face became younger and younger, "I regret it, I didn't die, I want to live!"
The old child became younger and younger, he stood up, and began to faintly appear as a jade tree in the wind: "I gave you everything, now it's time to give it back to me!"
"No, you're not!" Although the person in front of her and her uncle's aura and appearance coincided more and more, the girl just decided that he was not the uncle she knew, and she remembered what her uncle said before he died, "My uncle said that he is dead, and anything that appears after his death is no longer my uncle!"
As she spoke, the girl pointed her finger into a sword, and with one step, a ray of light descended from the night sky, like a meteor, and stabbed at the old child at the same time.
"No, I am!" the old child, who had returned to his youthful appearance, roared angrily, and with a wave of his palm, the sword that had fallen to the ground flew up and met the girl's flying sword.
Both of them rushed out in the blink of an eye, and the two behind the girl couldn't stop them at all, and the two had already faced each other.
"Hey, it's finally here. β
When the two swords faced each other, a sigh quietly appeared, which was vaguely heard by Xu Zhen, and he looked at it in surprise, as if he saw a sword light flashing behind the old child.
The two swords intersected, and the light that burst out was like a scorching sun, so that the two teenagers had to close their eyes and block out the light.
After an instant, the light did not dissipate, but it no longer came from the intersection of the two swords, but from the great sun overhead.
All at once, the time changed from night to morning.
The three of them stood in the middle of the courtyard in a daze, Ju Cailiang and Xu Zhen were behind, Shangguan Tingxue was in front, and in front of the girl was a man who was lying flat on the ground. The man was dressed in pure white, almost transparent in the sunlight.
In front of the man, there was a turquoise broken sword, and behind him, a fist and a sword struck the left chest and the right lung.
"I didn't expect you to wake up from the dream I knitted for you, I didn't expect you to ask the sword projection of Wanjian Villa to help, I didn't expect someone to secretly stir up the situation, I didn't expect someone to break the formation outside......"
The pure white man didn't expect to say several times, and finally a resolute smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The last thing I expected was ......," he turned his neck and looked at the girl, "Why, why do I have the same breath as your uncle, the same appearance, and even the same spirit, why do you think I'm not your uncle?"
The girl answered the pure white man's doubts with the reasons she had said: "My uncle said that he is dead, and that anything that appears after his death is no longer my uncle." β
"What an obedient and good boy. The pure white man smiled reluctantly, raised his palm and slapped his chest, and the punch and sword that hit his back were forcefully shattered, and his body became more and more transparent, slowly disappearing.
"Don't you regret burying the last traces of your uncle with your own hands?"
When the man drifted away, a word slowly reached the girl's ears, and the girl went to check the young man's situation with concern, and there was no time to care about it in her heart, so naturally it did not cause any waves.
