Chapter 25: Turning Point

"Lao Zhang!" Xia Chongming let out a heart-wrenching cry.

The man in black saw Lao Zhang pushing Xia Chongming away, he was instantly annoyed, he snorted contemptuously, then covered the weird gourd, and said, "Hmph! Old fellow, who doesn't want a dead soul like you? Want to escape? No way! He didn't seem to be interested in Lao Zhang's soul at all, and insisted on taking Xia Chongming's soul away.

Fortunately, the man in black withdrew the gourd in time, and Lao Zhang's figure did not continue to slacken, but in this way, his figure has become very faint, and it seems that he will disappear when he touches it. Xia Chongming breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but although Lao Zhang had escaped, now she herself was unable to protect herself!

"Lao Zhang! Fast forward to the ring! Xia Chongming waved at Lao Zhang and dragged Lao Zhang over. Although Lao Zhang was reluctant to go into the ring to rest, now he was also a drag oil bottle outside, and he could no longer protect Xia Chongming, so he turned into a wisp of green smoke and got in.

The man in black seemed to be very disgusted with Lao Zhang's soul, and took his gourd to turn it over and wipe it, Xia Chongming saw this opportunity, and hurriedly ran towards the previous tunnel, now it seems that this tunnel is the only exit, as long as there is no illusion, she will definitely be able to escape!

But where was the man in black willing to give Xia Chongming time to escape, but he didn't rush to catch her back. A treacherous smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he whispered, "Run? It's okay, then run! Anyway, it can't escape the palm of my hand! When I run to exhaustion and despair, it's not too late for me to go to the harvest. Hahahaha, there's still a little bit of anticipation......" After saying that, he raised his hand with one hand, and suddenly an evil wind suddenly rose around him, and a strange smoke floated up from the ground.

Xia Chongming ran forward desperately, and the slippery ground under her feet made her run one heel after another, and her legs were bloody from knocking. But even so, she ran forward with all her might, regardless of the pain, and if there was a glimmer of life, she would not give up.

Running and running, Lao Zhang suddenly said in her mind: "Miss! Hurry! Speed up! There's fog in the back! Xia Chongming heard Lao Zhang's reminder, and looked back, well, a large cloud of smoke and dust was coming towards her, it seems that this soul refiner did not want to test brute force to catch her first, but wanted to stun her here, and then take away her soul without much effort!

Xia Chongming turned her head and quickened her pace, she wiped the sweat and tears falling from her face, and ran forward as fast as she could. It is said that people can stimulate the maximum potential in their bodies when they face death, and now Xia Chongming is like this, she has never run so fast.

But no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't match the speed of the smoke rolling over, plus the ground was already slippery and her feet were full of potholes. Xia Chongming didn't run far before she tripped over the gravel under her feet and fell to the ground, she propped herself up, and when she looked back, the smoke behind her had already pressed towards her, even if she got up quickly, she couldn't escape the smoke!

Sure enough, before Xia Chongming could get up, the smoke had already surrounded her. Xia Chongming choked suddenly, only to feel a hot pain in her lungs, she coughed violently a few times, trying to cough out this discomfort, but it was useless, as time went by, her limbs began to weaken. Xia Chongming sat paralyzed on the ground, her brain groggy, and after inhaling the poisonous mist, she lost the ability to resist and think. She slowly crawled forward while she still had some strength, her knees and palms rubbing against the ground, oozing blood, but her limbs were paralyzed, and now she couldn't feel the slightest.

In this way, she used almost all her strength, and after crawling for a short time, she could no longer crawl, and she collapsed against the wall. She covered her mouth and nose, trying not to breathe in the poisonous mist, and gasped slowly. It seems that she can't escape today, and when the soul refiner comes and drains her soul, her Xia Chongming's life will be over.

When she was dying, she smiled lightly and asked, "Lao Zhang, why did you save me just now?" Look at you, your life is not guaranteed. You could have left me here and run away on your own, you don't have to do it for me. ”

"Old man...... The old man thinks you are very much like my daughter. During this time with Miss, every time I see you, I think of my daughter. Hey, Miss, the old man's life is nothing, if you can get out alive this time, the old man will be worth it even if his soul is gone. ”

Lao Zhang's faint voice came from the ancient ring, his breath was very weak, and it could be seen that he was seriously injured, but he still wanted to protect Xia Chongming and be thoughtful. Lao Zhang's words made Xia Chongming a little moved. If she had a chance to survive, she didn't want to die here like this, and die so ugly. Her life has just begun, and there are her relatives and friends outside, as well as her own bewildering memories and mysteries waiting for her to solve. Her eyelids grew heavier, her breathing slowed, and her hands fell limply.

She supported her eyelids strongly, squinted a slit, and in the smoke not far away, the man in black slowly paced over, she couldn't see what this person's expression was, Xia Chongming guessed that he must be very proud.

Seeing Xia Chongming sitting on the ground, the man in black smiled, took out the gourd just now from his waist, opened the bottle, muttered a sentence in his mouth, and rushed to Xia Chongming in a daze. Xia Chongming only felt that the wind was raging in front of her, and she opened her eyes with the last of her strength and watched the man in black ask for her soul. A bloody tear was left in his left eye, and the red and blue light in his eyes was particularly bright at the moment!

Just when the man in black was being proud, suddenly a raging fire enveloped his strange gourd, and a lot of ice suddenly appeared under his feet, and he was frozen to death at once, and he couldn't move in an instant. The man in black was shocked, and hurriedly picked up a yellow talisman and pasted it on the gourd, trying to extinguish the fire, but the moment the yellow talisman touched the gourd, it turned to ashes. Seeing that the situation was not good, this person hurriedly turned the gourd aside, and the gourd exploded with a "bang" the moment he took off his hand, turned into scattered fragments, and scattered on the ground.

He looked at Xia Chongming with unbelievable eyes, and when he saw the light in her eyes flickering, he instantly understood that he was being attacked by her just now. He smashed the ice under his feet with both hands, jumped back, and looked at Xia Chongming thoughtfully.

At this time, Xia Chongming, who was extremely weak before, didn't know where he got his strength and stood up. She patted the dust on her body, and suddenly laughed out loud, and the man in black was very strange when he saw this, and hurriedly pushed back again, looking at her vigilantly.

Xia Chongming's smile was very bewitching, and he completely lost the temperament of Xia Chongming in the past. After laughing, she blinked her phoenix eyes charmingly, put her fingers around the green silk in her ear, and said in that proud tone: "Just because you also want to refine my soul?" Don't look at who I am! After speaking, a charming smile rose at the corner of his mouth, and he rushed over with a lunge raised his palm.

A little fire appeared in her palm, and the man in black saw that she was menacing, and at this moment he lost his killer tongs, so he calmed down and stepped back step by step.
