Chapter 49: The Endless Nightmare (Reflections) (Part I)
"This ...... It can easily shatter the body of our earth-level soul master...... Do you already have the power of the 'Supreme Soul Master'......"
The other cloaked man was timid and slowly stepped back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The man who fell to the ground, his heart no longer beating, and cyan filaments of light emanated from the man's body, all of which were wrapped and absorbed by the crimson filaments of Scarlet Leaf's arm.
Scarlet Leaf turned around, and her face, which should have been innocent, now had an evil smile on it.
She raised her bloody hand.
"Scarlet leaves?" Zixiu stood behind Scarlet Leaf and hugged her tightly.
The crimson smoke on Scarlet Leaf's arm gradually dissipated, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the man in the cloak also fled away.
"Zixiu...... Scarlet Leaf ...... Done...... Something excessive? ā
"It's fine. Scarlet leaves are just to protect her brother, and these people are all bad people. But the scarlet leaves...... The person who should protect you should be my brother...... So next time, no matter what, don't shoot again. ā
"Hmm." Scarlet nodded reluctantly.
Zixiu helped Scarlet Leaf wipe the blood stains on his body, dragged the cloaked man to the grass on the side of the road, covered his nose, and reached out to stir the cloaked man's flesh and blood where his flesh was blurred, so that the cloaked man's body was stained with his fingerprints.
Even if it is discovered...... They couldn't have thought it was the little girl's hand.
Zixiu thought.
This rain ...... Maybe it will also help clear up some of the evidence.
The bicycle was completely broken and could not be used, Zixiu held the umbrella, and the two of them slowly moved forward on the path.
Aren't you a little too calm......
Scarlet leaves possess great power, which is undeniable. They may have come here to seize the power of Scarlet Leaf.
They seem to know their father, and they say that he can't protect himself......
Zixiu tried to dial his father's phone.
Shutdown.
So...... Do you have to go back and check it out first?
If my father falls into their trap, if he goes back now, won't he fall into the net?
But...... I can't ignore my father.
There are no indecisive men in the Cao family!
Zixiu stopped, looked at Scarlet Leaf's misty eyes, and hugged her tightly.
"What if...... I can't be with my brother in the future, and Scarlet Leaf has to live strongly. ā
Scarlet Leaf's tears swirled in her eyes, and she pouted and shook her head.
Zixiu sighed, "Does Scarlet Leaf listen to his brother?" ā
"Listen."
"That's it."
"Brother has something to do now, I have to go back to the town first, Scarlet Leaf has to stay here obediently, wait for my brother to come back to pick you up, you are not allowed to talk to strangers, is it okay?"
"It's raining...... Scarlet leaves are going home. ā
"You say...... If you want to listen to your brother, your brother usually accommodates you in everything, but this time, you must listen to your brother, do you hear? Saying that, Zixiu took out his mobile phone, "Telephone, Scarlet Ye's mobile phone still has electricity, right?" My brother will call you all the time to make sure you're safe. If your brother hangs up the phone, he's here to pick you up, you know? ā
Scarlet nodded ignorantly.
Zixiu handed the umbrella to Scarlet Leaf and asked her to stand under a tree, and then ran into the rain without looking back. He picked up the phone in his hand.
"Hello?"
"Hey ......"
"Is it a scarlet leaf handle? I'm my brother. ā
"Hmm."
"You're standing under the tree, aren't you?"
"Hmm."
Zixiu finally ran to the town, and he was shocked by everything in front of him.
The townspeople were scattered in the streets.
Zixiu probed the snort of one of them, and his breathing was still steady.
It seems that he just fell asleep.
"Zixiu?"
"Na, na, Scarlet Leaf, you know what."
Zixiu changed his hand to hold his mobile phone, "The tree you are leaning on now is a maple tree." ā
"Maple?"
Zixiu walked in the direction of home. From afar, you can see a white glow in the vicinity of your home.
"Yes, Maple, look...... The color of its leaves, what color is it? ā
"Green."
"yes, green leaves." Zixiu paused, "But when autumn comes, these green leaves will not turn yellow like other trees, and then fall, but will become crimson colors, crimson leaves, that is, fiery red leaves, so ...... This tree is the guardian of the scarlet leaves! ā
"Guard?"
"yes. Guard, it is said that the leaves of the maple tree generally do not fall easily, but if you can catch the falling maple leaves, you can make a wish. ā
"Wish?"
"Yes, I wish anything."
"Let Mommy come back...... Is it okay too? ā
Zixiu was silent for a while, then replied with a smile:
"Of course...... As long as...... As long as Scarlet Leaf can catch it! ā
There was an electric light in the air, and Zixiu's mobile phone suddenly sparked, and he couldn't turn on it anymore.
"Rely on ......," Zixiu complained. In front of him was a huge electro-light cage, imprisoned by a total of four men. And the person in the cage is his father Cao Fushang, most of his clothes are scorched, and because of the raindrops, the air is full of turbulent electric fields.
"Sub...... Zixiu? Cao Fushang, who was struggling in the electric light cage, struggled to call out Zixiu's name, "What about Scarlet Leaf?" ā
Zi Xiu knelt down: "Father...... Scarlet Leaf ...... Scarlet Leaf was captured by strange people! ā
His tone was full of grief and indignation.
The four men who had set up the circle to trap Zixiu's father glanced at each other and stopped casting. Zixiu's father, Cao Fushang, fell from the sky and smashed heavily into the ground, and Zixiu hurriedly rushed forward to check on Cao Fushang's injuries.
"Even the 'Supreme Soul Master' Cao Fushang, who was famous in the Spirit Domain back then, in front of the new soul technique 'Wild Thunder Heavenly Prison' developed by our Spirit Domain, just relying on four Heaven Rank Soul Masters can make him unable to move!"
"Don't take it lightly. Now that Ke Heng and the others have completed their task, we also have to get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble. ā
Seeing that the soles of the four men's feet were shining and they fled quickly, Zi Xiu helped Cao Fushang up.
"What a shame, Daddy. Since he has been able to hide his identity in front of his son for so many years, he still hasn't shown the level of a worldly superior. Zixiu whispered in his ear when he helped Cao Fushang up.
"Hmph...... Stinky boy, I wish you could call me 'Father' from the bottom of your heart for the rest of your life. Cao Fushang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "The acting skills are good, and they look like our traitorous family." ā
"Alright...... Later, I'll go and get Scarlet Leaf back, and you can just rest at home honestly. ā
"Nope." Cao Fushang grabbed Zi Xiu's arm tightly, "Let's go together, if they find out that they have been deceived by you, they will definitely catch up with us soon." ā
Zixiu supported Cao Fushang, quickened his pace, and ran towards the location of the scarlet leaf.
"Dad, you hide so many things from your son, if you accidentally hang up, no one will inherit your mantle."
"Your father and I are in the prime of life, and there are still many dreams waiting to be realized, how can we say that we can hang up; As for imparting the mantle, it will be said when your father is in his last years. ā
"Cut...... Really narcissistic. ā
"Zixiu...... Judging from your reaction at the time, you did meet those two 'soul masters', right? Cao Fushang paused, "How did you escape from them?" ā
The smile on Zixiu's face gradually dimmed.
"Scarlet Leaves, She ......"
"The power of the 'Supreme Soul Master'...... Finally awakened and gone crazy......" Cao Fushang sighed, and his expression suddenly paused a lot.
"Dad?"
Zixiu faintly sensed a trace of uneasy feelings from his father's sigh.
This uneasy feeling finally became a reality through their eyes.
The maple tree, which only turns red in autumn, is now covered with crimson leaves in advance.
Stained red by splatters of blood.
Rain ...... Why can't the bloodstains on this tree be washed away?
Scarlet Leaf's pupils were once again covered with crimson tobacco, and the filaments of light wrapped around her arms threw down the corpse of the last soul master imprisoned in the air.
