Si Ming's five fingers tightened, and his slightly narrowed eyes burst out with a cold killing intent.

The man was choked by the throat, and the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat, and he struggled to break free, but the hand that held his throat became tighter and tighter, and his eyes rolled white, and he almost lost his breath.

The neck under the five fingers is slender, the skin is smooth to the touch, and the tip of the nose smells a shallow fragrance, and there is a faint surprise in Si Ming's heart. With a flick of his sleeve with his hanging left hand, the candle flame extinguished in the room was instantly lit, and the yellowish candlelight illuminated the room and illuminated the faces of the people.

"Shao Huan?" Si Ming was shocked and hurriedly let go. Shao Huan's body was weak and almost fell, he stopped his waist and hugged the beautiful woman into his arms.

As soon as the hand on the neck was released, Shao frolicked and gasped heavily, and there were a pair of warm palms behind her back for her back, and it took a long time to gradually ease up.

Si Ming concentrated, noticed a movement outside the door, swept his hand, and the candle flame in the room was extinguished again, melting into darkness.

Shao Huan was surprised, and the next moment he felt that his feet were light, and the person had fallen on the couch, and then a figure covered his body. She opened her mouth slightly, but a finger pressed on Sakura's lips in time, and in the dark, Si Ming's eyes were dazzling and shining, signaling her to silence.

Shao Huan nodded again and again, and the hand was released.

Si Ming lay down beside her, pulling the thin quilt over the two of them. After a while, the door was gently pushed open.

There was a sound of footsteps, which seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet room, and the man seemed to have a clear goal, and walked straight to the bed.

Shao was horrified, and as the footsteps approached, a heart beat violently and almost reached his throat.

The room was not big, and she silently counted the footsteps of the people in her heart, and was secretly aware that she was close to the bed, but a bright light suddenly appeared in front of her. Shao Huan's eyes widened, and before he could react, he only heard a "bang", and the person had already fallen in response.

The person who came had been subdued, and Shao Huan violently lifted the quilt out of bed, but at some point Si Ming had already appeared at the table, and a cluster of flames was born from his fingertips, and he lit the candle unhurriedly.

Shao Huan quickly got out of bed, looked at the person who fell to the ground with horror, and then looked at Si Ming, and exclaimed: "This ...... Isn't it the shopkeeper in the daytime?"

The one who broke into Si Ming's room with a knife in the middle of the night with bad intentions turned out to be the shopkeeper of this inn.

"Is this a black shop?" Shao Xian's eyes rolled, and these two words suddenly burst out in his mind.

It is often said in the book that in some inns that appear in the deep mountains and remote areas, nine times out of ten they are black shops. The black shop made money and killed people, and after first scavenging those yellow and white things, it was inevitable that the news would leak, and most of the people who came and went to stay would become the souls of the knife.

Shao Huan thought about it and felt that this was the case, but he thought it was strange, it was expected that this was not a poor country, a place where there was no shop in front of the village and behind the village, and the second little man of this shop was very attentive during the day, so he didn't expect to break into Si Ming's room in the middle of the night to do it.

It's just that I'm afraid that the shop's little two thousand have not been calculated, and she and Si Ming are not ordinary mortals who are powerless.

There were some doubts in his heart, but after waiting for a while, he didn't see the person wake up, and Shao Huan was even more surprised. She stretched out her toes and kicked the shopkeeper, but the other party was like a sleeping dead pig, only with her kick and movement, there was no response.

This makes Shao Xian suspicious. She looked at Si Ming, who was sitting at the table for a long time, and at some point had conjured up a set of tea sets and was leisurely sipping tea, so she simply squatted down and turned the shopkeeper over.

This flip frightened Shao Huan, and he fell to the ground with an exclamation.

Si Ming put down the tea set when he heard the sound, and first helped Shao Huan, who was sitting on the ground with a frightened face, and then his eyes fell on the shopkeeper, frowning, and he didn't speak again for a long time.

He ...... How did he ...... Dead?" Shao Huan was frightened, stretched out his hand and pointed to the shopkeeper who was lying on his back, but his face was blue and purple, and his heart was like thunder.

"I didn't kill him. Si Ming opened his mouth lightly, feeling uneasy in his heart, like a fuse that had just begun, and there was something unexpected waiting for them behind him.

At the same time, a black gas suddenly emerged from the body of the shopkeeper, and after only going around in front of the two of them, he jumped out of the window with lightning speed, and disappeared in the vast dark night.

Shao Huan hadn't seen what that black mist was, but he subconsciously tightened Si Ming's sleeve: "What is that?"

Si Ming frowned, his lowered eyes swept away all the light, and after a long time, he muttered two words: "Ghast." ”

Shao Huan was shocked, and hurriedly took out the Soul Gathering Banner from the Liuyun Brocade, but at the moment, the Soul Gathering Banner was unremarkable and unusual.

The sorrow between Si Ming's eyebrows deepened, he grabbed Shao Xian's waist with one hand, and pinched the trick, and the two of them were already in the room, but they were outside the inn.

There was still a quarter of an hour before Yuzi, but there were no vendors on either side of the street, and the noise of the day was gone, and the night was silent, and the night wind was howling, bringing a chill that pierced the bones, and gave people goosebumps for a lifetime. Looking at it, the houses around were closed, dim, and even the Penglai Inn behind them had all turned off the lights, and there were only the two of them in the vast night.

The two of them stood in the center of the fourth street, Shao Xi held the soul gathering banner in his hand, and looked around with a pair of eyes. The night is silent, and there is no moon when you look up, but there seems to be a sense of oppression gradually approaching, which makes people upset.

"Si Ming. She turned around and called, but saw no answer.

Si Ming stood on the ground and closed his eyes, his brows were always frowning, and he pricked up his ears to listen, as if there were chaotic footsteps gathering from all directions, trapping the two of them in the middle.

"Be careful!"

Shao Yan drank loudly, Si Ming's heart jumped suddenly, and he opened his eyes suddenly. He raised his foot and kicked back, kicking the person behind him in the chest, and suddenly kicked the person behind him a foot away, and then stretched out his hand to pull it, and he had already protected Shao Yan behind him.

I don't know when countless mortals have gathered from all directions, each holding a sharp blade in their hands. The only thing that is abnormal is that everyone's complexion is blue and purple-black, with their heads hanging slightly, but their eyes are black, without any whites, which is exactly the same as the body of Xiao Er who died in the inn.

"What's wrong with them?" Shao Xi tugged at the corner of Si Ming's clothes, and his slightly squinted eyes looked at the people gathered around him. Clearly, everyone is still good, talking and laughing, but in the blink of an eye, the night has changed, first the shopkeeper, and then all the people in Qingping Town......

"Be careful, they may be possessed by ghasts. Si Ming protected Shao Huan behind him, and a cyan flame loomed in his hanging palm.

The mortals possessed by the ghast gradually approached, and the soul gathering banner in Shaoxi's hand also found a powerful red light more and more, she looked at the soul gathering banner in her hand, and then looked at the mortals who were approaching around her: "Are they mortals now, or are they puppets whose souls have been devoured by ghasts?"

There is a big gap between the two, if it is an innocent mortal, if it dies at their hands, it is killing, the Six Realms have their own laws, and Rao is a god clan cannot disregard the lives of mortals. When mortals die, they will become debts, and when they become resentful, they will be entangled for life and life until the debts are paid.

"I don't know. Don't frolic and protect yourself. Si Ming no longer entangled in whether these mortals were alive or dead, he turned his right hand, and a long sword appeared out of thin air, the long sword was sharp, and the cyan brilliance was scattered around his body.

Shao frolicked his head and clenched the soul gathering banner in his hand even more.

Black clouds suddenly filled the surroundings, and the approaching mortals suddenly roared in unison, and the shouts shook the heavens and the earth, like the voice of the darkest demon from the depths of hell, disturbing people's hearts and minds.

One person got up, and countless mortals suddenly rose up and launched a fierce attack on the two people trapped in the middle.

Si Ming raised the sword, and the sword fell, and a blue light slashed towards the mortals like a sharp weapon. I only heard a miserable roar, and everywhere the blue light reached, all mortals fell in response.

However, more people gathered from all directions, including the elderly, the weak, women and children. Si Ming's subordinates showed a little mercy, and once their hearts were soft-hearted, they were forced to disperse with Shao Huan, and Shao Huan fell into the encirclement of the rest of the mortals.

Shao Huan was not sure whether the mortals around him were alive or dead, and his subordinates showed mercy everywhere, but they were forced to retreat again and again, and gradually they were a little physically exhausted, and they saw that they were falling behind.

Si Ming was distracted, and it happened that at this time, the wound of fire and thunder punishment on his body was revived, he resisted with one hand, and pressed his chest with the other hand and suddenly felt a monstrous discomfort, and as soon as he cast a spell, a mouthful of turbid blood gushed out and spit out. The mortals around smelled the smell of blood and intensified the attack, and Si Ming's body was weak, and he was unexpectedly scratched by the sharp blade on his arm, and the blood suddenly came out, polluting the lake blue brocade robe on his body.

"Si Ming—"

Out of the corner of his eye, he let out a loud shout, and suddenly a bright yellow light spread out from his body and spread around, and the light hit the mortals around him, and he fell in an instant.

Taking advantage of the gap, Shao Fei sacrificed the Soul Gathering Banner, and silently recited the method of opening the Soul Gathering Banner taught by Yan Judgment. In an instant, the storm suddenly changed, and the Soul Gathering Banner emitted layers of red light from the inside to the outside, one layer more powerful than the other, and the blood-devouring light was emitted one layer after another, enveloping the surrounding mortals in an umbrella-like manner.

The mortals around them stopped all movements, and the blades in their hands were discarded, and they covered their heads and let out a louder scream. Countless black qi was sucked out from the top of the head at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then entered the Soul Gathering Banner one after another, but in an instant, the surrounding mortals had fallen to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

The black qi was all sucked into the Soul Gathering Banner, and a golden light suddenly appeared, and the Soul Gathering Banner lost its light and fell into Shao Huan's hands, and the surroundings returned to calm.

Shao Huan put away the Soul Gathering Flag, and hurriedly stepped forward to check Si Ming's injury, seeing that his arm was injured and blood was flowing out of the wound, his heart was even more anxious: "Can you still stand it?"

Si Ming squatted weakly on the ground, there were still traces of blood on his lips, his face was pale, he raised his sleeves to wipe the blood from his lips, and shook his head reluctantly.

A distant roar sounded in the dark, Shao Huan secretly sighed that it was not good, helped Si Ming, pinched a trick, and the two of them had disappeared.

In the darkness of the night, countless mortals possessed by ghasts appeared from the corners of the four corners, their eyes were black, and they were busy walking around the city aimlessly, and the black qi on their bodies rose sharply.

The black clouds on the top covered the sky, and the five fingers were not visible, and the huge black wind gusted, adding a bit of gloomy atmosphere.
