Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Line Between Life and Death
With the sound of a broken bone sounded, An Liu's right hand broke away from Xie Chen's control and retreated.
The spiritual flame was still spreading, An Liu took a brocade bag from his waist and sprinkled it on his right hand, the brocade contained some kind of dust, and after falling on his right hand, it actually extinguished the spiritual flame.
But he himself let out a terrible scream, and his right hand shrank visibly from his forearm to his fist, turning into a pair of skin and bones!
This scene looked a little frightening, Yu Bo gasped, and Xie Chen's eyes were slightly condensed.
If the powder was not sprinkled on An Liu's hand, but fell on Xie Chen's body, Xie Chen didn't know if he would become the same skinny appearance as An Liu's right hand.
"He's a master of the inner element! Fourth Brother Sacrifice Bell Gu! Escape! β
An Liu threw the empty bag aside, glanced at Xie Chen in shock, and shouted to An Si urgently.
"Nei Yuan?!" An Si's face changed drastically, as if these two words were terrifying to them.
"Fourth brother, quick!" Seeing that An Si was still hesitating, An Liu urged anxiously.
An Si gritted his teeth when he heard this, and took out a round box from his arms, and the moment the round box was taken out, Xie Chen's cold hairs stood on end, and he was terrified!
Got it! It wasn't An Si himself who made him feel dangerous, but this round box!
Xie Chen didn't know what was in this round box, but he knew that it was definitely not a good thing, judging from An Si and An Liu's previous shots, there might be something highly poisonous in this round box!
What can make him feel the threat to his life, he doesn't dare to be careless, and he won't give An Si this opportunity to open the round box.
At that moment, Xie Chen didn't say a word, his body almost turned into an afterimage, and he rushed towards An Si at the fastest speed.
But An Liu had already prepared, and set off almost at the same time as Xie Chen, although Xie Chen's speed was fast, An Liu was closer to An Si, so he took the first step in front of him.
"Poof-" A mouthful of blood spurted out of An Liu's mouth, and he was loaded on his chest by Xie Chen with his right shoulder, but he didn't retreat at all, almost using his body as a meat shield to protect An Si.
The end was that his chest was sunken, his face turned extremely red, and as a mouthful of blood spurted out, he turned pale again, and fell to his knees limply.
However, he bought time for An Si, who had already opened the round box at this time.
"Jingle Bell ......"
The crisp bell suddenly rang in the room, echoing around, and it was impossible to hear where the sound came from, but it was possible to guess that it had something to do with the contents of the round box.
Xie Chen's eyelids jumped, and an unprecedented sense of crisis rose in his heart, almost instinctively, and he stepped back at the speed that did not decrease.
"Ling Gu, kill him!"
An Si held the round box in one hand, forced out a drop of blood and dripped it in the round box with the other, the expression on his face became extremely hideous, and the hoarse voice came out, which was incompatible with the crisp ringing in the room, but it made Xie Chen's sense of crisis even worse.
Xie Chen had already seen what was inside the round box at this time, it was a worm the size of a thumb nail, which looked a little like a cicada, but it exuded a faint golden glow.
Its wings kept waving, but its body did not fly, and the bells that filled the house seemed to be the sound of its wings.
"Bang bang......" Xie Chen suddenly heard the sound of his heart beating, and this sound sounded in his mind, like a drum, very loud.
His retreating body paused, a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, and for a moment his brain seemed to be broken, and he lost control of his body.
He was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously bit the tip of his tongue to wake up, and did not dare to delay, turned around and ran out of the door.
"You can't run away!"
An Siwei smiled and took a step forward, his fingers flicking the round box containing the bell Gu.
Xie Chen, whose front foot had already stepped out of the door, slammed again, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
His face was bruised, and his mind became blurred.
The blood was tumbling in his chest, as if something was constantly stirring inside, and the sound of his heart beating in his head was getting louder and louder, making Xie Chen's mind swell and his consciousness in a trance.
An Si took another step forward, and he walked slowly with each step, as if it was a struggle for him to lift his legs.
But he still walked behind Xie Chen step by step, and an extra dagger appeared in his empty hand, which was slowly raised high and stabbed at Xie Chen's neck.
At the critical moment, a phoenix phantom appeared in the depths of Xie Chen's consciousness, and a phoenix roared out, and Xie Chen suddenly woke up!
Looking up just in time to see the dagger falling towards him, Xie Chen dangerously raised his hand to block An Si's wrist, and then grabbed his hand with his backhand, sent the dagger into his body, and stabbed him in the chest!
"No...... Possible...... Bell Gu ...... Don't ......" An Si couldn't believe that Xie Chen could come to his senses, he looked at Xie Chen with wide eyes, his eyes full of shock and puzzlement.
A mournful sound sounded in the round box, the bell Gu and An Si's life were connected, An Si was severely injured, the bell Gu was also injured, and the bell in the room disappeared suddenly.
Xie Chen didn't dare to be careless, he pulled out the dagger in An Si's body, and stabbed it at the position of his heart again, An Si's body trembled, and his eyes gradually lost his lustre.
"Fourth brotherβ"
An Liu's eyes cracked, he glanced at Xie Chen with a strong hatred to the extreme, took out a black pill out of nowhere, swallowed it in one gulp, seemed to have strength, and broke through the window of the living room without hesitation and fled.
When Xie Chen came to the window and looked down, he couldn't see An Liu's figure anymore.
He looked at Yu Bo again and found that Yu Bo had already fallen to the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
Walking forward to take a breath, Xie Chen shook his head, Yu Bo couldn't be colder anymore.
"Good danger......" After confirming that Yu Bo and An Si had both lost their breath and were not threatened, Xie Chen's body weakened and sat on the ground.
He was only a little away from death just now, and if it wasn't for the phoenix to save him, I'm afraid it would be him who was lying on the ground and turned into a corpse.
After this battle, Xie Chen's spiritual power in his body did not consume much, but the process was extremely dangerous, his brain was still aching faintly at this time, and his consciousness was groggy, so he did not pass out after holding on.
"Phoenix, you saved me again." Xie Chen smiled bitterly and opened his mouth, he didn't say any thank you to Phoenix, he couldn't thank him for saving his life, he just silently kept this kindness in his heart.
"Rubbish!" Phoenix's cold voice sounded in Xie Chen's heart, and he could hear that Phoenix seemed to be angry, and Xie Chen smiled bitterly again.
Without rushing to wake up Zhong Yue, Xie Chen meditated on the spot, expelled the residual toxins from his body, and used his spiritual power to recover his body a little, and after his consciousness was no longer so confused, he got up and went into the bedroom.
As soon as he took a look at his spiritual eyes, Xie Chen saw that Zhong Yue had been placed on his body, this kind of Gu and Bai Hansong's body did not seem to be the same, and it was harmless to Zhong Yue himself, but if anyone touched her, the Gu worm would be transferred to that person's body, producing some kind of change, which might be fatal.
After a little silence, Xie Chen cast a fire trick, attached a layer of spiritual flame to his palm, controlled the spiritual flame not to hurt Zhong Yue, and grabbed her forearm.
Several black silk threads appeared under Zhong Yue's skin, and before they could enter Xie Chen's body, they were burned by the spiritual flames.
"It's easier to solve than the Gu in Bai Hansong's body." Xie Chen withdrew the spiritual flame and clapped his hands.
Zhong Yue couldn't wake up for the time being, and Xie Chen was not in a hurry to wake her up, so he sat on the edge of the bed and took out his mobile phone and called Butler Bai.
Judging from An Si and An Liu's methods, Bai Hansong's previous Gu was estimated to be related to them, and Xie Chen felt that it was better to give Steward Bai a wake-up call.
The phone was connected, and Xie Chen asked first, "Butler Bai, how is Young Master Bai lately?" β
"Haha, thanks to Doctor Xie, after the Gu worms in his body were removed, the young master's body has gradually recovered, and now there is no major problem." The white butler smiled.
"It's fine, but you've got to be careful lately."
"Be careful?" Butler Bai was slightly puzzled: "After I came back, I investigated the people around the young master, and there are no suspicious characters, what does Doctor Xie want me to be careful of?" β
"I met two people today, who may be the ones who played tricks on Young Master Bai."
"What?! Thank you Doctor for meeting the person who gave my young master a trick?! Where are the people, I will immediately take people to Jinling! Butler Bai became excited when he heard Xie Chen's words.
"One died, one ran away, and I was seriously injured, these two are very powerful!" Xie Chen didn't say anything about Zhong Yue's arrest, but said: "They are good at using Gu and acting together with Yu Bo, probably because I saved Young Master Bai, so they will attack me, I can say that I am dead this time." β
Steward Bai took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Doctor Xie don't worry, you are the benefactor of my young master, and my Bai family will not put you in a dangerous situation!" In this way, I will take someone over immediately, and I will definitely protect you! β
