Volume II | CHAPTER XVIII

"Jingle Bell"

"Jingle Bell"

Tens of thousands of dark green darts fell from the sky, like hail, and the smashing sword array clanged, and the sword spirit flying outside, the original steel knife blade, was distorted by those small sharp weapons.

The swords and darts that were bounced off exploded in the opposite direction after a brief impact.

The two collided, and the spiritual power countered each other, like two pieces of burned translucent iron, striking each other in the air, the fire splashed everywhere, drawing a long arc, the blue and green shattered, and disappeared into the air.

There was the sound of swords and darts shattering in all directions,

Outside the formation, the horses that were not rescued in time in the formation screamed and tore a few times, fell to the ground and kicked their legs, and were killed by the random arrows outside.

The five monks, clenching their teeth, propped their hands on their chests, and continued to transmit spiritual power to the sword array.

I don't know how long this lasted, but they showed a bit of a hard look. Two or three of them were already trembling slightly with bursts of hot sweat oozing from their foreheads, and the hands that supported the enchantment were already trembling slightly.

There are more and more people in black outside, more and more.

"These people are so powerful!! I...... We're all going to die here today! One of the young men shouted with a panicked look on his face, his head clasped in pain.

The others also panicked.

"I don't want to die! Master Xie, please find a way to save us!! ”

The other person wanted to run over, but was accidentally tripped by the person next to him, and stumbled over in the last step, withdrew the sleeve of Xie Ci's shirt, and looked at Xie Ci with an unusually hungry and thirsty look for help.

Xie Ci tried to pull out the sleeve he was holding on to the young man's hand, but the man grabbed it so tightly that he didn't pull it out for a while. Her mind was distracted, and she wanted to calm herself down at the moment, and she didn't know how to answer this person's question.

Save him?

How to save ......

Everyone's lives are not in his hands, and she can't keep them alone.

Looking up, a group of people, all staring at her, with disdain, disdain, and help in their eyes.

She thought to herself, these entourage, who were in their twenties and thirties, were so flustered in the face of danger, they had originally come to escort her, but now these people had come to ask for her help.

But it's no wonder that they are, after all, they are just the retinue of the Xie Mansion, not as good as the well-trained guards and monks, they want to live, it is an instinctive desire.

Although the anger of being humiliated by them has not completely subsided, human life and personal grudges are two different things.

Instead of answering the man's question, he turned to the monks and asked, "Can you hold on?!" ”

"I'm afraid not!" One of the monks said.

"These people...... It's horrible! One of the monks standing at the other corner of the formation frowned and said with difficulty, as if he were saying to himself, as if he was saying to Xie Ci and his other companion.

The situation is critical, but there is no other way.

The man who had just grasped the corner of the sleeve of the thanksgiving, when he heard the monk's words, let go of his hands in a dejected manner, looked tormented, and began to become disappointed and desperate.

He walked slowly, step by step, dejectedly towards his original position, just as he walked back to his original position, his face changed suddenly, he raised his eyes to stare at Xie Ci, with a smile on his mouth, and the whole person was in good spirits, and his eyes were bright.

Maybe kill Xie Ci and they'll survive!

Xie Ci focused all his attention on the sword formation of the five monks. Because the sword array is the key to defense.

A large piece of darts pressed down, like a net from heaven to earth, enveloping the sword array.

They were in the middle of the barrier, and their eardrums were filled with the sound of tinkling iron against steel.

As time passed, the sword formation became weaker and weaker, like an onion, and the shell was torn off layer by layer.

Xie Ci turned the wrench in his hand, trying to think of a way to deal with it.

Suddenly, one of the entourages pulled out the sword in his hand, and the lion roared towards Xie Ci, "Xie Ci, I'm going to kill you!" It's all you! It's all you!! If it weren't for you, how would we be suffering this trip today!! Kill you and we'll live!! Xie Gou is going to die!! ”

The people around were all stunned, and the man said that if they killed Xie Ci, they would be able to get out alive, although it was not necessarily wrong. But killing Xie Ci is also a dead end for them, otherwise these monks who came to protect Xie Ci would all come to join in the fun.

Everyone's eyes widened, and their eyes were focused on Xie Ci.

However, this reckless and brainless method of killing people is simply extremely clumsy for Xie Ci, even if he is in poor health now, it is a piece of cake to deal with such a blunt attack.

"Thank you, sir!" A monk outside heard the movement inside and turned his head urgently, but he couldn't leave the sword formation, so he could only hurriedly shout to Xie Ci to be careful.

Xie Ci turned his upper body, the man's long sword attacked, grazed her shoulder, stabbed in the air, Xie Ci seized the opportunity, whirled down from the stone at the same time, accumulated strength in his legs, kicked in the man's abdomen, the man was in pain, fluttered and was kicked to the ground, holding his stomach, crying bitterly, while constantly scolding Xie Ci.

"You rotten!! You're shameless!! Bully me, an ordinary person who is powerless!! The way of the world!! And the won't let people live!! Bah!! ”

“.......”

How does it sound like a shrew scolding the street, and the words of thanks are speechless.

The others looked at each other, not daring to step forward.

Who would have thought that a person who had received dozens of whips would have the strength to kick and injure a burly man, and they had heard before that Xie Ci had already suffered from the wind and cold before he was arrested and put in the prison.

But right now, where is this like a person who has been beaten by the wind and cold?!

Rumors are really rumors!!

Not a rumor.

Thanks......

It's just a ghost!!

Everyone's faces were pale, and they felt that the breath of death was constantly approaching.

Only Xie Ci knew that she had used all her strength with that blow.

Although dealing with such impulsive and reckless people is a piece of cake for her.

She has this sense of ease, just because she often faces sudden sneak attacks on the battlefield, so she is comfortable with such sneak attacks. However, the lack of physical strength is another matter. For example, now, she feels that her bones are supported by gas, and now these gases are slowly leaking out.

Xie Ci's legs trembled faintly under the cover of his robe, not because of fear, but because of weakness.

She tried her best to restrain her weakness, cheered up, and scolded sharply: "You guys are like this, in the army, you have already violated the taboo!" If there is any more trouble, I will kick him out of the sword formation!! ”

The others listened in horror and were silent. After all, they were originally just servants who took care of daily chores in the Xie Mansion, and they weren't even low-level monks.

Xie Ci was able to become a general at the beginning, but he was selected after many competitions in the spiritual institute and broke through the ultimate difficulty, and he was a high-level monk who is rare in the world. If it weren't for the degrading and torture this time, I'm afraid that one finger would have been able to crush all of them to death now. Now the retinue finally knew what it meant to be an emaciated camel bigger than a horse.

"Ahh

"Ahh Thank you ......"

"Senior Brother !!"

"Senior Brother !!"

“!!!”

In an instant, two green lights flashed, and the two monks on the side of the formation were pierced through their bodies by darts at the same time, and the blades pierced through their bodies with a muffled sound.

At the same time, the formation instantly turned into pieces.

The sword spirits that swirled around them lost the power to control them in the dark. The sword flew in all directions, falling to the grass and the branches. The sword body dispersed with the aura and dissipated out of thin air.

Countless dark green darts outside took advantage of the void to enter, and then there were screams one after another around the thanksgiving.

Looking around, the entourage around him was pupa with their bodies pierced into bee chrysalis.

Their eyes, noses, arms, legs, abdomen, and chests all exploded with bloody flesh, and one by one they fell down, dying in panic and fear.

"You three! Come on in! Change the Golden Tower Formation! ”

One of the seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen teenagers, swung his sword to block the attack from outside, and took advantage of the gap to analyze Xie Ci: "Lord Xie! The Golden Pagoda Array has to use the ancient artifact magic weapon to defend it, so that it can be lined up into a formation, and we have nothing but a sword now! The corners of his eyes were moist.

The other shouted, "yes, we don't have anything now!" ”

"I've got a wrench!"

Although Xie Ci didn't know how long this ivory bone wrench could last, one more second was better than one less, at least a little more chance to escape, she glanced at the retinue who was lying in a pool of blood, and the old uncle beside him......

It's that I'm useless, I didn't protect you and you.......

"Bone wrench?!"

"Hmm!"

"Lord Xie actually has this treasure!!"

"Really?! So that we can send a signal for help to our senior brother! I don't know when they'll be able to arrive. ”

The three of them, while resisting external attacks, retreated to Xie Ci's side.

The wind blew the hem of their clothes to the sound of hunting, and the branches around them danced and trembled, and even the blades of grass on the ground were swept up into the sky, and the air, sand, dust, and branches were mixed together, and they scurried in the air.

Xie Ci silently recited the mantra in his heart, and the ivory wrench can only be used once.

He closed his palms, and a dazzling pillar of light, around his body, continued to expand, and the pillar of light shot straight into the sky, enveloping the other three in the formation.

Whether the people outside were slashing with swords or shooting with bows and arrows, they were all bounced away by the golden formation one by one.

Xie Ci stared at the black-clothed people tightly, his hands clenched into fists, he didn't know who sent them, but behind those black-clothed people, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, staring straight at them.

When thanking for urging the formation, when urging the formation, her mind must not be disturbed, otherwise the formation will be self-defeating.

And this process, without the support of spiritual power, will not last for half an hour.

So they have limited time.

Xie Ci thought silently in his heart: "I hope it's too late." ”

Because she didn't want to be killed by random arrows like that.

She can't die!!

In the prison, she received more than 80 lashes, plus 30 electric whips, and she did not die.

Since I can live, it is providence!

"Hope...... I hope they can come in time! One of them raised his hand and released a mystic bird, which flew up the pillar of light and flew into the sky.

"Yes, by all means...... Yes! ”

Each of them transmitted their spiritual power into the magic circle, and there were too many people outside.

As far as Xie Ci is concerned, being able to hold on until now shows that these monks sent by Qin Zhen are really not here to make soy sauce.

Sure enough, these black-clothed people are not bandits and robbers at all, they can control the aura of heaven and earth, they are either demon cultivators or monks.

Those who can afford to hire monks must not be weak, not only not weak, but also not weak. And there are at least 200 people here.

The monks are under the management of the spiritual seminary, if even Qin Zhen doesn't know where they come from, it means that someone is secretly cultivating spiritual cultivation, and Qin Zhen has to be asked about this.

Xie Ci raised his eyes and looked up, the golden magic circle, the spiritual flow was unstable, and the golden mangs were strong and weak.

If you are facing a great enemy, you dare not relax for a moment.

Little by little, time passed.

She became more and more difficult to breathe, and she became more and more unable to concentrate, and there was a force in her palm, which made her hands constantly repel each other, but once her hands were separated, the formation would automatically break, her wrists were already tight and sore, and the wrench fingers glowed faintly white between her palms, constantly spinning.

"Don't leave a single mouth alive!" The voice came from nowhere.

There are too many people in black, and Xie Ci can only figure out an approximate location.

Suddenly, the repulsion of the palm of the palm was magnified dozens of times in an instant, and a hurricane crashed into his arms, as if his ribs were about to be broken, almost knocking her down, Xie Ci's chest was relieved, and blood gushed in his throat.

The other three people were injured internally, the formation was broken, and the people outside kept approaching.

Who the hell are they, to drive her out!

Xie Ci's eyes widened, and his pupils contracted violently.

A man in black, unlike all the others in black, had a black mask covering his face, but when he flew over, the mask fell off unexpectedly, only half slipped, and was quickly taken by the man again, covering his face.

There is only one pair of eyes, but it makes Xie Ci feel particularly shocking.

In those eyes, there was only determination and ruthlessness, which were going to kill him.

"It's you?! You--"

Her body, from head to toe, instantly cooled.

She froze in place, as if the world had been shattered.

And the blade of the sword, facing the moonlight, pierced her in the chest.

Someone grabbed her arm and dragged her into his arms.

The two sword lights were staggered, the people who saw were dazzled, the swords struck each other, Qingyue clanged, sharp and piercing, the inspiration flashed, the sword qi swept away, and after several times, the man with the mask finally took off into the air, black clothes like a phantom, stepping through the void and disappearing into the vast night sky.

She was so ignorant and unconscious, letting the night wind blow violently, the majestic mountains and rivers, and the vast wilderness, flashed by in his eyes.

"Stupid?!"
