Xiao Zhuo looked at the severed body hair on the old cat's chest, and hesitated for a while. He wasn't sure if the sword had hurt the old cat, and if it did, how could he not even see a trace of the scar; If it wasn't hurt, why didn't the old cat move?

Just a moment ago, Xiao Zhuo, who saw through the old cat's attack method, took the risk of selling a flaw, causing the old cat to jump up and attack from the side. In the face of this attack, Xiao Zhuo, who was holding a sword, had to adjust his movements if he wanted to carry it with all his might, but once he really adjusted his movements, he had no time to parry. So Xiao Zhuo quickly flipped his wrist, and the hand holding the sword quickly retracted, facing the attack of the old cat, and slashed down with a sword.

The old cat was also shocked by his sword, and quickly gathered more intense demonic power around his body, turning into a huge body to support his body, and his claws grabbed the sword body, half of which refused to back down, and the blue light and black qi immediately tore together.

One sword and one claw, no sound! But Xiao Zhuo clearly felt an invisible force dissipating rapidly in all directions, blowing his hair, the greenery under his feet, and the surrounding branches and leaves.

And Xiao Zhuo understands more in his heart that the current situation is completely dependent on the spiritual power of the ancient sword spirit, he has no mana, and he is not the sword master, if it continues like this, it will be a matter of time before he loses, but once the sword is withdrawn, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating.

Just when he was at a loss, Jin Ruo behind him suddenly stood up, and the water splitting spur shot out in an instant, shooting at the old cat's body. The old cat was caught off guard by Jin Ruo's sudden attack, his eyes looked at the water thorn slightly, Xiao Zhuo took the opportunity to cut the sword back to his forehand, and took advantage of the old cat to prevent the water thorn, and the hand drew out again, although the old cat was agile and knocked down the water thorn, but after all, he could not completely resist Xiao Zhuo's attack, and the body hair in front of his body was suddenly cut off by Qi Qi, but there was no bloodshed, and Xiao Zhuo did not dare to rush forward again.

"Meow!" The old cat, which had been silent for a long time, finally let out a cat meow, Xiao Zhuo hurriedly alerted, but the old cat had already jumped up and jumped into the distant jungle, and there was no trace, the two black cats got the old cat's order, and they no longer stayed, and disappeared into the night.

Seeing that the strong enemy was far away, Xiao Zhuo's heart finally let go, and he just turned around to check the golden carp's injury, but found that the golden carp's body had fallen to the ground softly.

"Fairy! Fairy! Xiao Zhuo gently picked up the golden carp and kept calling.

"Waterhole ......" Jin Ruo only left these two words, and then turned into a golden carp and stayed in his hands.

――――

At the edge of the pool, Xiao Zhuo stood staring at him for half an hour, but he didn't see the golden carp coming out of the water, during which he was also vigilant from the beginning, and gradually thought about his attitude towards the golden carp.

The last time he left, he had already made up his mind that he would always be dusted in this life and this life, although this determination was shaken on the way, but since he woke up that night, he has never hesitated, but now, the two have experienced a life and death together, and the cage he set for his heart seems to be beginning to loosen.

With a bang, Xiao Zhuo came back from his thoughts, but saw that the golden carp had already turned into a Yiren and walked out of the water.

"Fairy ......"

"Let's go!" Jin Ruo didn't wait for Xiao Zhuo to finish speaking, and pulled him towards the mount.

"Where?" Xiao Zhuo was confused, but tonight's encounter was also the first time in his life, and he didn't dare not listen to Jin Carp.

"Go back to Yan's house!" Jin Ruo said, his light body had already jumped on the horse's back, and he was stretching out his hand towards Xiao Zhuo, which obviously meant to pull Xiao Zhuo.

"No, you don't." After Xiao Zhuo finished answering, he stepped on the horse's pedal and turned over, and also got on the horse's back, but the golden carp sat in front of him, and he didn't know whether to reach out and pull the reins. "That, fairy......"

"My name is Jinruo, not a fairy." Jin Ruo raised one hand slightly, handed over the reins, felt the broad chest behind him, and finally made a decision after many hesitations in his heart.

"Oh! Drive! Xiao Zhuo originally wanted to ask why he wanted to go back to Yan's house, but Jin Ruo didn't let go because he wanted to stabilize his body, he wanted to drive a horse, just like holding Jin Ruo half in his arms, he was excited for a while, and he forgot to ask, and rode away directly.

When he arrived at Yan's house, Xiao Zhuoyu retreated from a group of nervous family members and walked straight to his yard. Jin Ruo only cleared the cat poison in his body in the waterhole, and the injuries on his body still had to be in a place like the Yan family where the earth spirit was abundant, so that he could recover faster.

"Uncle Chang, don't alarm the lord and the lady, I'll go and greet them tomorrow morning. Go and rest, too! Xiao Zhuo instructed Chang Bo, who was following behind.

"Yes! Young Master Cousin! The reason why Uncle Chang came up was to ask about this, but now that he was instructed, he stopped disturbing Xiao Zhuo's rest and turned to leave.

When Xiao Zhuo arrived in the courtyard, Jin Ruo was already sitting on the bluestone slab with his eyes closed and breathing, his expression was comfortable and his posture was charming, especially under the moonlight tonight, not at all like the appearance of forgetting life and death before. But the only thing that spoils the scenery is the pair of shoes that are soaking in the pool at the moment.

"To be honest, this wall is faster than going through the front door! You have climbed the courtyard wall of the Yan family many times! Xiao Zhuo said, and also sat down on the bluestone slab.

"I don't remember." Jin Ruo opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Zhuo, who was beside him, "Why don't we be together next time?" ”

"Forget it! Anyway, I'm also a cousin, do you still go over the wall when you go out? "Xiao Zhuo is noncommittal, he really hasn't done such an unseemly thing, and when Jin Ruo mentions it like this, he really wants to do it once." That's right! Why do we have to come back here? Wouldn't you be able to heal that waterhole too? ”

"Didn't I say it, it's a great place for people." Jin Ruo looked at Xiao Zhuo, but saw Xiao Zhuo looking at her with an expression of "Don't lie to me", and couldn't help but want to laugh a little in his heart, but seeing that he still kept looking at himself, he had to tell the real reason. "Actually, the most important thing is that I killed a black cat when I first came, and you know this, I stayed here with its Yuan Dan, and now the situation is urgent, and I can't allow for a slow recovery. Moreover, tonight is the night of the turtle's sleep, and as soon as the hour passes, the old cat's subordinates will rush over in groups, and then we will have no way to escape. ”

After Jinruo finished speaking, he began to close his eyes and breathe again. The black cat's Yuan Dan she used to give Datou and Ah Qing, but the two of them were restricted by Taoism and never absorbed too much, and today she returned with a serious injury, and they also sent Yuan Dan back as soon as possible. It's just that absorbing Yuan Dan is not a tonic after all, and you can't be in a hurry, and Jin Ruo can only try to absorb as much as possible.

"Immortal...... Jinruo, don't worry, as long as I'm still here, I won't let you have anything to do! Xiao Zhuo shook the ancient sword in his hand again.

"Xiao Zhuo, I just hope you're okay!"

Xiao Zhuo was shocked in his heart, and was figuring out the meaning of Jin Ruo's words, Jin Ruo spoke again: "Your sword is indeed very powerful, but unfortunately you are not the sword master, and you have no mana, even if you use the blood of pure yang to stimulate the sword spirit, at most, you will exert sixty percent of the power of this sword." When the old cat fought with me before, he consumed too much cultivation, so you could barely draw with it, but the old cat has entered the demon road, and there are not so many scruples about making up for the cultivation, and the next time you fight, you can't win it! ”

"And how will it make it up?" When Xiao Zhuo heard Jin Ruo say this, he wanted to give the old cat a salary, after all, he had the help of the ancient sword, and he didn't have to be afraid of the old cat for the time being.

"Soul Eater! This is the fastest way to do it. People themselves are spirits, so the demon clan cultivates people, in addition to eating people's hearts, it is to devour people's souls. But there is a lot of filth in the soul of adults, and they can't swallow it all, so it's best to ...... Burst! Jin Ruo thought of the consequences, and could no longer suppress his mood, and a mouthful of blood appeared on his lips.

What's best? Xiao Zhuo had already guessed it. Since the soul of an adult is not desirable, it is naturally a child!

Xiao Zhuo stood up suddenly, the old cat was so cruel, how could he sit idly by! But as soon as he moved, Jin Ruo had reached out to hold him.

"Don't go!"

"Why?"

Jin Ruo didn't know what to say. It's not that she doesn't want to stop it, but neither of them has the ability, and it won't be useful if they go. Besides, it took her half an hour to remove the cat poison from her body, how could the old cat be idle in this half an hour.

"It's too late! The time has passed! Jin Ruo reluctantly confided softly.

The time has passed! Xiao Zhuo didn't know the meaning of the first half of Jin Ruo's sentence, but the second half of the sentence had already understood, the time had passed, the group of cats had woken up, not to mention him, even if Jin Ruo went with him, I am afraid there was no chance of winning. But knowing that the children in the town were going to be murdered, he couldn't do anything, and for the first time he felt that his strength was so weak.

"Sit down first! I'll help you heal first, our danger hasn't passed yet! Jin Ruo pulled Xiao Zhuo and repaired Xiao Zhuo's damaged meridians with spiritual power.

Tonight and this night are destined to be peaceful!
