Shuoyue hugged the unconscious emperor, looked at Nalan Twilight a few steps away, and asked tentatively:

"Nalan, it's me, Shuoyue, do you still recognize it?"

In response, a fist that broke through the wind swept across her cheek with a "swish", leaving a bloody wound on the white skin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it is a fist, it is as sharp as a razor, relying not on some fancy sorcery, but on pure wrist strength, which is the way the vampire Nalan Twilight fights. If the New Moon fails to turn its head in time and avoid its edge, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Nalan Twilight's face, which was still a few steps away, was now attached to her face, as close as a sympathetic kiss. She looked at his godless, dead-like eyes, and sighed in her heart:

"Completely controlled by evil spirits, you idiot!"

Before Nalan could throw a second punch, Shuoyue quickly jumped back and opened up the distance. She glanced down at the unconscious emperor lying in her arms, and said in her heart:

"If this continues, the situation will not be in my favor!"

The storage room is too cramped, and there is no room for detours and dodging. Here, it is difficult for Shuoyue to play to her strengths. What's more, her hands were still restrained by the unconscious emperor, and she couldn't use them at all.

She needs an open field to fight Nalan, she needs to distance herself and use her air superiority to defeat Nalan, so she must leave here and find another battlefield.

"Come on, evil spirits!" shouted Shuoyue before Nalan Yu launched the next round of attacks, "Come with me, I will easily clean you up like before!"

With that, the new moon rose into the sky, flew straight upwards, broke through the roof, and disappeared into the clear winter sky.

Controlled by the evil spirit, Nalan stood in place, staring up at the sky leaking through the hole in the roof. After a few moments, I don't know if I realized something, or if it was the instinct of a hunter, he took a step and ran straight forward, breaking through the wall of the storage room like a piece of cardboard, and running into the snow.

Behind the storage room is a wide flat snowfield, and further away is the woods. Bo Li Shuoyue happened to be standing right in front of Nalan Twilight, white clothes and white hair, blended with the snow under his feet, visually unrecognizable, but after all, he couldn't escape the vampire's shark-like sensitive sense of smell.

Anyway, she had no intention of hiding.

The emperor, who had been lying in her arms, had been placed in a safe place by her. Now, she holds the imperial coin pole in one hand and a few pieces of rune paper in the other, and God knows how many weapons are hidden under her pure white kimono.

The snow away from the shrine has not been cleared since the beginning of winter, and by now, the snow is knee-deep. Ordinary people come here, it is estimated that it is difficult to walk, even if it is a vampire, it is impossible to be completely unaffected by it. On the other hand, the new moon can fly to the sky on tiptoe, and it will not be trapped at all.

The time and place are favorable, and the benefits that can be taken are basically accounted for, and the rest depends on how she plays.

Silence, a long silence, the two figures of black and white are dozens of meters apart, standing between a snow-white heaven and earth, staring at each other, not moving at all, not saying a word, like two ice sculptures.

"Whew!"

The one who broke the silence was Nalan Twilight.

The guy shrank up, then jumped up like a spring, and his feet lifted off the ground, bringing out a lot of snow by the way. With this jump, the distance between the two of them was shortened by half, and as soon as he landed, he sprinted again, and swooped like an arrow to the place where the moon was.

However, Nalan Twilight's movements were still too slow, because of this snow, the distance that could have been crossed in one second, now consumed two or three seconds of his time, and at this time, the new moon had already flown above his head. The moon was facing the earth and its back to the sun, casting shadows that covered Nalan Twilight's entire body. She spilled all the rune paper in her hand.

It has to be said that the decision of the New Moon is completely correct. In the snow, compared to Nalan Twilight, who can only walk on land, she has an overwhelming advantage in being able to fly.

"Realm・Double Enchantment!"

The rune paper that got out of his hand moved on its own, fell rapidly, and nailed to the four corners of the east, west, south, and north directions around Nalan Twilight, which was four points. Between these points and the dots, a light blue line of spiritual power was connected, forming a side. Beyond this side, a ring of red light rose up, enclosing the square barrier in a circle.

When the circle was closed, two thick walls of light rose high, surrounding Nalan Twilight like a cricket in a box. He stood still in the center of the barrier, staring at the wall of light around him with his empty eyes, as if he didn't know anything about his situation at this time. Is he conscious but unable to control himself, or is he completely unconscious and acting solely on muscle memory?

The answer to this question is probably known only to him. At least, under the control of the evil spirits, Nalan Twilight completely lost the agility and spiciness, but became dull and numb. Not to mention nearly a thousand years of combat experience and the ability to cut as a killer weapon, now he only has a good body left, and his intelligence can be regarded as nothing.

This did Shuoyue a great favor, after all, if he had a clear head, Nalan Twilight would never let this enchantment take shape - he knew the power of this move.

As soon as Shuoyue flicked her sleeves, three long silver needles appeared between her fingers like a trick. Then, as soon as she raised her hand, she threw the three needles towards the barrier.

The three long needles easily penetrated the two layers of light walls on one side, as if they were nothing, and then aimed at the back of Nalan Yu's neck and stabbed straight through. Although this Nalan Yu was delirious, his body was not affected at all, and as soon as his upper body was deflected, he easily and gracefully dodged this blow with a gap of not an inch.

However, that's not all.

He, or the evil spirit that resides in his body, obviously did not expect that the three long needles that he had dodged did not fall to the ground along the arc, but on the contrary, they flew some distance and disappeared abruptly the moment they touched the wall of light.

Then, a sharp pain came from his calf, and Nalan Yu looked down, only to see that the three long needles that shone with silver light had already pierced into his leg, and they were not half inside. What followed was a burning pain. Nalan Twilight, who had never said a word or shown an expression since he was possessed by an evil spirit, howled heartbreakingly at this time, and his handsome face was distorted like a walnut.

If he could speak, then he would have asked, "How did this needle get to me?" Unfortunately he couldn't, the evil spirit had invaded his mind and taken over his language, and he could only express his pain by roaring.

Although, most of this pain comes from the evil spirit in his body.

What pierced into his body was a magic exorcism needle infused with spiritual power. To deal with ordinary evil spirits, just these three are enough to make their souls scatter, that is, this one, and they can rely on Nalan Yu's strong physical ability to hold on for a while.

But what's the use?

"I'm sorry, Nalan, it's painful, isn't it?" Shuoyue muttered to herself, with obvious guilt, "Bear with me, I'll save you right away!"

With that, she threw the needle again.

This time, despite being deprived of a leg by the exorcism needle, Nalan Yu still flashed the new needle beautifully. Then, as they had just done before, they vanished into thin air, and then appeared somewhere else—this time, overhead.

Sensing the slight vibration of the air, Nalan Twilight rolled forward directly, and when he turned around, he saw three long needles piercing from above, and then disappeared into the snow.

He was just about to get up, when he suddenly felt a heat in his chest, and when he looked down, he found that the magic needle, which had disappeared in the snow a second ago, had now pierced his chest.

There was another wail.

Shuoyue frowned, and the pain in her expression was as if the person who had been pricked by the needle was herself. Despite this, she continued to throw the Exorcism Needle until she ran out of the last one.

This was the only way to save Naran, and she knew it.

A large number of long needles flew in the double barrier, unpredictable and never stopped. They do not obey the laws of space, they do not obey the laws of gravity, they do not obey all the laws that maintain the existence of the real world, they cannot be flickered, they cannot be stopped, and the means of countering them do not seem to exist at all.

Nalan Twilight also tried to get out of here, he passed through a wall of light in front of him, but ran out of another wall of light, and when he looked up, the sky was still full of silver light, and there were long needles full of spiritual power all around, and he didn't seem to move half a step.

He, or the evil spirit, realized that it wasn't the exorcism rods that possessed the power of teleportation, but the space around them was itself distorted.

"Double Enchantment", the evil spirit remembered the term.

This two-layered barrier, with a twist and a circle, has an inexplicable power that is enough to distort space, and it is one of the unique skills of the New Moon. Each wall of light that makes up the enchantment is like a portal that opens in the void, and if you enter from this end, you will come out from an unpredictable end. Those trapped in the barrier, even if they move in a straight line, end up just spinning in place, and they can't step out of the barrier even a single step.

Specifically, those who are trapped inside the "square" can never come outside the "square", those who are blocked from the "circle" can never enter the "circle", and those who are trapped outside the "square" and inside the "circle" can neither enter the "square" nor get out of the scope of the "circle", which is the double enchantment.

The magic needles she threw into the enchantment, once they entered the "square", they would stay in it forever, relying on their spiritual power, flying almost unlimited until they hit the target. They enter through a wall of light, and then come out of an unpredictable end, apparently from the same direction at first, and after passing through several walls of light, their trajectory is no longer elusive.

This square circle enchantment is like a small secret chamber with mirrors on all six sides, and the needles are like the sunlight that shoots into it. This light is infinitely reflected between the mirrors, so that Nalan Twilight, who is trapped in it, has nowhere to hide, no way to escape, and can only be completely exposed like a film negative.

Shuoyue closed her eyes and no longer looked at Nalan Twilight's tragic situation, but the screams hovering on the snowfield lingered in her heart like a resentful spirit.

I don't know how long it was, maybe a year, maybe a minute, but the sound finally stopped. Shuoyue opened her eyes and saw Nalan Twilight kneeling on the snow, covered in needles and bleeding profusely, like a red hedgehog. Blood poured out of the wound and dripped down the hundreds of silver needles to the ground, staining the snow beneath his knees red.

"Smack"

She clapped her palms, and the barrier vanished, and she herself slowly fell to the ground. Her purpose is to save Nalan Twilight, not to kill him, and for this, there is one more thing that has to be done.

That is, to completely destroy the evil spirit in his body.

The Exorcism Needle can block the movement of evil spirits, and wherever they pierce, the evil spirits will lose control of the place. However, if you want to completely eradicate it, acupuncture alone is not enough, and this matter needs to be done by the shrine maiden herself.

Nalan sat there on her knees as if she was dead, her head hanging down, motionless, bleeding silently. Shuoyue knew that he was still alive, but the evil spirit that controlled his body was sealed, so he was incapacitated. Still, she was distressed.

Give her a chance, she is willing to bear this pain for him.

Shuoyue stepped on the snow and came to Nalan Twilight. She crouched down, cupped Nalan Twilight's pale, blood-stained face with both hands, and stared into his eyes, silent and speechless for a moment.

She wiped the blood from her cheeks with her thumb, then leaned over her head, closed her eyes, and pressed her forehead against Nalan Tso's forehead.

The spiritual power was like a spring breeze, instantly blowing all over Nalan Yu's body, silently. The pure white brilliance emanated from the bodies of the two, turning into a little fluorescence, like flying fireflies, which looked extremely beautiful. Nalan Twilight's body trembled slightly—it was his natural rejection of spiritual power as a demon.

It is true that the witch's spiritual power is deadly poison for him. But if you want to force out the root of the disease in his body, you have to fight poison with poison. Shuoyue's idea was this: Nalan Twilight's life was undoubtedly harder than the life of that evil spirit, as long as the injected spiritual power was controlled to the extent that it was enough to destroy the evil spirit without endangering Nalan Twilight's life, the problem could be solved perfectly.

Anyway, that guy is a vampire, as long as he doesn't die, no matter how badly injured, he can recover intact.

In fact, she was almost on the verge of success, no, it should be said, she had succeeded.

It's just that she ignored a truth, a very simple truth. Even the weakest reptile will do her best to fight against the water when she is dying, even if it can only bury a small lump on the body of the enemy, not to mention, her opponent is an evil spirit that has been dormant in the shadows for decades.

When this evil spirit was about to dissipate under the expulsion of spiritual power, its long-lost life ushered in the last outbreak.

Nalan Twilight's right hand twitched, and then the entire arm full of silver needles was raised, and the five fingers were put together, aiming at Shuoyue's chest.

At this time, Shuoyue still closed her eyes tightly, and continued to continuously convey her huge spiritual power into Nalan Twilight's body, knowing nothing about what was about to happen.

It was a split-second thing.

The evil spirit in Nalan Twilight's body was completely destroyed, and Nalan Twilight's right hand penetrated Shuoyue's chest, and these two events happened dramatically at the same moment.

The last trace of spiritual power of the new moon, and the last wisp of demonic energy of the evil spirit, were entangled, annihilated each other, and finally disappeared into nothingness. The light covering the two of them gradually dissipated, and all that remained were two bloody shells.

When Nalan came to his senses, he saw Bo Li Shuoyue, who was sitting in front of him, and saw her pierced chest, and his own blood-stained hand.

"Are you alright...... Is...... Great......"

Shuoyue said, laughing, and fell on Nalan Twilight's body. Her blood gushed from the frighteningly large wound in her chest, staining their clothes red.

Nalan Twilight's mind went blank, unaware of what was going on or why it was the way it was. At this time, he only realized two things:

First, the new moon died.

Second, he was the murderer.

He wouldn't let that happen, never, if he could allow Shuoyue to die right under his nose, then he wouldn't be Nalan Twilight.

There was no time to think about it, and there was no need to think about anything, Nalan Yu bit his tongue, picked up Shuoyue's gradually cold body, and kissed her lips.

It was a deep kiss as hot as flowing blood.
