Chapter 160: Wounded
Not long after Ruihua Ruiying left the Demon Wood Valley, she heard a report from a subordinate named Huang Jie that the Jiutai Lotus placed on the sacrificial table was missing, and it was suspected that the two sisters had stolen it.
The Nine Lotus is a healing relic, and it was taken out and placed in the sacrificial hall three days ago in order to worship the heavens and the earth, and when the old woman saw that the guards guarding the Nine Lotus were also stunned to the ground, her anger was self-evident.
So, she took Xiaoyu and a few of her subordinates to ask for the guilt.
As the two sisters were walking on a remote path, they were not traced by the old woman until they left the green city on camels.
The old woman's heart was full of resentment, so she had used some tricks to trap several people for many days.
"Ruihua Ruiying, do you know what crime you have committed when you steal the sacred relics in the valley?" came the cold voice of the old woman.
The two sisters were so frightened that they couldn't say a word.
Seeing the two sisters like this, He Lang knew that he couldn't be silent any longer, so he said loudly to the old woman: "These are all what I have repeatedly begged the two sisters, now that the demons of the Central Plains Continent are raging, they are for the common people, what is the crime? If there is really something wrong, I am willing to punish them!"
"Huang Jie's guess is really right, it turns out that you two are really enough of this person, and you dare to betray your master for him!" the old woman pointed at Ruihua Ruiying and shouted angrily.
This is Ruihua trembling and whispering: "Old Ancestor, my sister heard from He Gongzi that the Central Plains Continent is currently flooded with demonic people, and that is our hometown, and we don't want to see it become dead and silent, so we have the courage to borrow treasures to rescue."
He Lang was already preparing luck at this time, and unexpectedly cut off the old woman first, and then attacked a few people around her, even if the fish died and the net was broken, he had to save Ruihua Ruiying's life.
But what he didn't expect was that his stunt Soul Condensing Qi, after transporting his spiritual power a few times, had no sign of gathering qi.
Since he woke up, he hasn't had a chance to use the Qi of Condensing the Soul, he didn't expect that he couldn't even gather the Qi, he was so anxious that he was sweating for a while, if he lost the Qi of Condensing the Soul, he would basically be a waste, seeing a few people on the other side, his cultivation would never be low, he was thinking about how to deal with it.
The old woman didn't wait for Ruihua Ruiying to finish speaking, and shouted: "Shut up! You steal holy relics privately, and you are full of quibbles, you really don't know whether to live or die, do you want to cut it off yourself or let me do it myself?"
The two sisters were forced by the old woman to shake their heads and retreat, and at this critical moment, suddenly a loud old man's voice came: "Old monster, I didn't expect us to see each other again! You are becoming more and more unreasonable now!"
The people around the old woman were stunned when they heard this, someone dared to call their ancestor an old monster, this person really didn't want to live.
"It's a tree demon, and it's not dead yet?" the old woman recognized the old man's voice as soon as she heard it.
He Lang was also stunned, he didn't expect that the old man who was with them in a mess would still know this vicious old woman.
"You are still alive, how can I die first? today we will settle all the previous accounts!" said the old man, shaking his body, and leaped onto the green disc, and the next moment he met the old woman with one palm.
It can be seen that the old man's skills are not weak, but he seems to have internal injuries, and his face becomes pale after a little luck.
During the fierce battle between the two, the yellow sand around them was lifted several feet high, and everyone was shrouded in the flying sand grains.
This dramatic turn of events stunned everyone present.
Especially Xiao Jin, his eyes were almost popping out, he couldn't imagine that the old man, who slept badly except eating all the way, turned out to be a master who hid deeply, and at the same time he regretted his disrespect to the old man before.
Over there, the old man and the old woman were already in one place, and the old woman, who looked so old that she had to be helped to walk, was now in good spirits, and her body was extremely flexible, and the cane in her hand was a weapon, and the old man's weapon was a thin wooden stick that he had been carrying in his hand.
These two seem to be two enemies, and as soon as they come up, they slam their lives at each other's life gates, and they are about to take each other's lives.
There are not a few master duels that He Lang has seen, and those masters are basically in the palm of their hands, and the brilliance of the sharp shadow flashes all around them.
And these two people are very simple when they fight, they don't have dazzling offensive techniques, but every move and style is a thrilling killing move for the other party.
After a few clicks, the old man and the old woman both hung up their colors, especially the old man's tattered coat, which had become rags flying in the wind.
The old woman raised her dragon cane and headed towards the old man's heart, and at this time her strength was poured into the top of the cane, as if she was going to kill the other party on the spot.
The old man did not hesitate, the thin stick in his horizontal hand was forced, and when the cane intersected with the thin stick, the harsh sound spread far away.
The people around the people watching the battle were also so unbearable that they rubbed their ears and couldn't stop complaining.
It wasn't a cane and a stick, it was the cacophony of steel colliding, like the sound of steel sliding onto glass.
The two jumped from the green disc to the sand, sometimes the old woman chasing and killing the old man, and sometimes the old man gaining the upper hand and forcing the old woman back a few steps.
The two have been fighting for half an hour, and they have not yet distinguished the superior, but He Lang can feel that the old man is holding himself up, and he is very worried that after the old man is killed, none of them will be able to escape.
From time to time, the piercing sound of metal clashing hit everyone's eardrums, and those present couldn't help but cover their ears in order to relieve the stimulation of the brain caused by the piercing ringing.
He Lang thought to himself, it is very unfavorable for his side to go on like this, they have been trapped in the desert for more than 20 days, and they are already on the verge of the limit of physical fitness, if the old man can beat the other party to death, it is okay, once they are defeated, then the rest of them will only have to die.
Thinking of this, he thought that he couldn't wait like this, so he whispered to Xiao Jin: "Is there a way to help that old man?"
He has a big goal himself, and he will definitely be discovered immediately if he moves, but Xiao Jin is different, he can be invisible, and he can secretly turn around and make some tricks for the old woman.
After Xiao Jin heard this, he also understood He Lang's thoughts, and he said in a low voice: "Brother, is the nine-section whip that pulled you up from the sand pit still there, I'll use it!"
He Lang hurriedly took it off his waist and handed it to the other party, saying, "Be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Jin disappeared in the same place.
He Lang's eyes followed the direction of the two figures, and he hoped that Xiao Jin could reverse the situation and help the old man defeat the other party.
At this moment, Xiao Jin's figure suddenly appeared, and with a shake of the nine-section whip, he wrapped the old woman's coiling dragon cane around the whip.
But he tugged hard a few times, but he didn't move.
The old woman is in a fierce duel with the old man, and the slightest wind and grass will affect the final victory or defeat, and the coiling dragon battle in her hand was entangled by a little girl from nowhere at this critical moment, just panicked, she hurriedly used her dantian qi, and slapped Xiao Jin's chest with her free palm.
And Xiao Jin fell out sharply in the next moment, and fell to the ground and fainted directly.
He Lang's heart was pinched and painful, he hurriedly rushed to Xiao Jin's side desperately, picked him up, and retreated to his side, patting the other party's face anxiously and calling softly: "Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, how are you, don't scare my brother, open your eyes quickly." ”
But no matter how He Lang shook and called, Xiao Jin closed his eyes and didn't react.
At the same time, the battle between the old man and the old woman also divided the winners and losers.
When Xiao Jin wrapped the old woman's dragon cane with a nine-section whip, the old man used his strength to hit the other party with eight strands of force at the same time, the old woman dodged seven of them, and the eighth strand hit her lower abdomen at once, and the next moment, she suddenly vomited blood and her body shook uncontrollably.
As soon as the old man saw that the other party was hit, he did not pause, and struck several times around the opponent with his palm, and the old woman retreated step by step under the defeat of one step, and because the lower abdomen was seriously injured, the dantian luck was stuck, and in the retreat, the body was hit several times.
"Xiaoyu, release the poisonous mist!" the old woman shouted to Xiaoyu behind her when she knew that she was going to be unable to support it.
The old man, who was chasing and killing the old woman, changed his face slightly when he heard this, and shouted, "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose!"
He knew the power of the poisonous mist, and he had suffered a big loss in this place.
Xiao Yu did not do what she commanded, she did not release the poisonous mist, but jumped off the green disc, held the old woman, turned into a vine in her hand and stretched out to the old man, blocking the route of his pursuit, and then as soon as she lifted her breath, the two of them got on the disc again, she glanced in the direction of He Lang, and there was unknown emotion in her eyes.
The next moment, the disc rose and disappeared in less than a breath.
The old man also sat down on the ground at the same time as the green disc disappeared, and only crossed his legs to breathe after a while, and it could be seen that his physical strength had just been greatly consumed.
In fact, the old man was also injured by the other party in many places, plus he himself had internal injuries, so he had just gritted his teeth and endured it before.
He Lang no longer had the heart to scruple about others, because Xiao Jin had not shown any signs of waking up since he fell into a coma, he shook and shook for a long time, and no one reacted.
In the end, Xiao Jin turned into a little golden python in his arms, and hung motionless on his arm.
He Lang had never seen such a situation happen to Xiao Jin, and he suddenly felt that one of his very close friends was about to disappear in front of his eyes, and he was so anxious that he was almost crazy.
The two sisters beside him were also surprised when they saw that the beautiful girl before turned out to be a little golden python.
Seeing that He Lang was so emotional about the little golden python, he also became anxious.
"He Gongzi, the Nine Lotus in my hand may be able to save Xiao Jin," Ruihua said softly to He Lang.
"Then ask my sister for help, he's going to be gone. ”
He Lang held Xiao Jin's python body, and he didn't know what to do, because he found that the python body was spread out in his arms, motionless and soft, as if he was dead.
Ruihua carefully took out the Nine Lotus from the storage bag, and said to He Lang: "Master He, you quickly put Xiao Jin flat on the ground, and I will use the holy water in this Nine Lotus to help her heal her injuries." ”
When He Lang saw that the ground was full of yellow sand, he hurriedly took off his coat, threw himself on the ground, and then put the python on his clothes, staring at it with a good look.
The nine lotus suddenly rose into the air in the sound of Ruihua's mantra, the lotus was surrounded by a faint pink light, slowly rotating in the air as it rose, and after a while, crystal dew slowly seeped out from its nine petals, and the dew slowly gathered, and the last drop fell downward, dripping onto Xiaojin's python.
He Lang found that Xiao Jin's head moved, and he shouted loudly in surprise: "Xiao Jin, my brother is here, look at me, hold on, you will definitely be fine!"
When the dew dripped a stick of incense, Xiao Jin's eyes opened a slit slightly, and he saw He Lang lying in front of him with a panicked look, and shouted something to himself, but he couldn't hear it at all, he knew that he had turned into a little python now, and he didn't have any consciousness on his body.
For a moment, he thought he would die like that, but he didn't expect to come back to life and see his brother again.
He Lang lay on the sand, gently stroked Xiao Jin's head with his hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Jin, it's my brother who is not good, let you hurt like this, you will be fine, don't be afraid, be good." ”
Xiao Jin saw He Lang's face full of tears, and he also raised his head with all his strength and licked the back of the other party's hand, saying that he was okay and not to be sad.
