Chapter 46: Fireworks Rain
A smell of blood spreads.
Lihong's footsteps gradually stopped, staggered, and finally hit the ground on his knees.
His hand hung down, and Ding Ruoyu hurriedly got up, protected in front of him, and stared at the person in front of him tremblingly.
"Ukishu," she heard the man's deep and cold voice, hidden with boundless hatred, "Have you ever thought that I would kill you with my own hands?" β
Li Hong smiled softly behind him, and laboriously pulled out his arrow, "I'm not a pontoon. β
"Who doesn't know that you are the best at quibbling!" A long whip of lightning flashed in the black-robed man's hand, knocking Ding Ruoyu unconscious and rolling to the side.
The tip of the blood-stained arrow pierced into the ground, and Li Hong stood up, black scales appeared on the back of his hand, his nails became longer and sharper, and his body overflowed with a terrifying and strange aura similar to that of a black-robed man.
He approached in a flickering manner, looked at the black-robed man and said, "I'm Lihong, we were made by the same man, have you forgotten?" β
The black-robed man saw him revealing the true body of the demon race, and the long whip in his hand was still pointed at him and said, "Even if it is Lihong himself, he deserves to die!" β
"If killing me really satisfies you, please do it, brother." Li Hong stood quietly in front of him, his expression was serene, and he didn't care about life and death.
Next to the half-cut tree stump, Ding Ruoyu, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes.
The black-robed man shook the long whip in his hand and slammed it towards Lihong's body. Li Hong didn't dodge or dodge, and Ren Whip Shadow left a series of burning blood marks on his body, until he couldn't hold it anymore and fell.
Ding Ruoyu got up and rushed over, holding the dagger in his arms, the tip of the dagger pierced the air and brought out a spark, piercing into the whip shadow heavily wrapped in thunder and lightning, and plunged straight into the heart of the flowing flame.
A layer of golden light burst out of her body, chanting the trick in her mouth, ten fingers sealing, and focusing the magic circle on the dagger, and finally with a "peng", she was covered in a rain of blood, and the body of the flowing flame disappeared without a trace, leaving only the black robe floating to the ground.
Ding Ruoyu dusted off the blood stains on his body, turned around and helped Lihong up, and walked slowly towards the depths of the woods.
"Five hundred years later, you're still so naΓ―ve. When your father was in the mortal realm, he didn't tell you that people are unpredictable? She glanced coldly at Lihong.
"He only taught me how to save people from danger, and the rest ...... No one but you will talk to me. Li Hong smiled, and the corners of his mouth kept bleeding.
Ding Ruoyu put him down, took out the gauze to stop the bleeding, and said expressionlessly: "This time I killed Liuyan, will you hold a grudge?" β
"You should say that you saved me, and I will remember to repay you for this kindness in the future." Lihong's face was pale, reflecting the bright red blood on the side of his mouth, showing a heart-wrenching poignant.
"Indeed, I shouldn't have taken advantage of the law and let you out in advance." After Ding Ruoyu bandaged the wound, he let him lean on his shoulder and hugged him carefully.
Li Hong folded his hand on the back of her hand, looked at the fallen leaves in the forest and said, "It is enough for you to appear in front of me." Time is running out, and it's time for me to go back to that place. β
Little by little, the scales on his body disappeared, and the person gradually lost consciousness. Ding Ruoyu hugged him tightly, leaned against a tree, and also fell into a coma.
In the middle of the night, the sound of fireworks sounded outside the forest, and colorful lights pierced the shade of the trees and shone on the two of them.
Ding Ruoyu opened his eyes from fright, saw the scene above, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She dreamed that she had fallen into a bottomless abyss, surrounded by countless chasing and biting spirits. She ran for her life, but she always spun around in the chaos, never finding an exit.
She got up, only to find that she was lying on Lihong's lap covered in blood, and the other party also tilted her head and looked at the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"Who's the pontoon?" As soon as Ding Ruoyu opened her mouth, even she was shocked by what she asked.
Li Hong stared at her like a ghost, suddenly covered his heart, and cried out in pain.
I really didn't dare to compliment such a bad acting act, Ding Ruoyu rubbed his eyebrows, helped him up and said, "Let's go outside to see, there are too many trees here, and the fireworks are blocked." β
"Swap your clothes." Li Hong took out a package from behind him like a trick, and there was a new red cloak inside.
Ding Ruoyu sniffed the strong smell of blood on his body, and obediently changed his cloak.
The two of them spread out on the small dirt slope behind the forest, and after a while, the fireworks stopped, and layers of light ash fell.
Ding Ruoyu stepped on Lihong's shadow and asked about the battle situation in the forest and his injuries.
Li Hong replied one by one, the black-robed man was dead, and the injury was fine, so let her not worry about it.
At the bottom of the slope, the witch cult was waiting and bringing a horse.
"What a Yan Xi, I've found it here." Li Hong said unhappily, got on the horse with Ding Ruoyu in his arms, and rode towards the headquarters of the Witch Cult first.
On the horse, he stuck to Ding Ruoyu and said, "Do me a favor." β
Ding Ruoyu turned his face to look at him questioningly, almost hitting him on the chin.
"Yan Ci found me a few women, you have to help me block it." Li Hong glanced at her, and the words he spoke were like orders.
"How?" Ding Ruoyu covered her face, if she was a beauty, it would be good to say, such an ordinary appearance that was even a little stumbling, it was too late for others to stop her.
Lihong came to the Chiyun Palace, carried her into the vermilion gate, and then the door was closed, and the two of them hid in the innermost closet and meditated outside. At dawn the next day, among the concubines sent by the emperor to serve, it was rumored that the new witch emperor had extremely special tastes, and only preferred the ugly ones.
So early in the morning, they rushed back to report the situation to the emperor. Yan Xi had no choice but to send all these women back to his harem.
Outside the door, a small sedan chair sent Ding Ruoyu back. She didn't sleep well, yawned a lot, and was listless when she practiced.
As she meditated in the afternoon, she closed her eyes, and her mind flashed back to what she had been after she had fallen unconscious the day before. Although it was only for a brief moment, she still saw that it was she who killed the black-robed man with her own hands and turned it into a rain of blood.
A drop of cold sweat rolled down the back of his hand, Ding Ruoyu was secretly frightened, did that powerful power really belong to him?
She looked at the transparent energy flowing in her palm, not knowing when it would turn into a dazzling golden glow.
It has been written in the witchcraft books that I have memorized before that only the Celestial Clan's Nian Qi will turn into a color like substance, among which the golden Nian Qi is the most refined, and it can be transformed into a solid armor when practiced to a certain extent.
Even if they have a cultivation method, their mind qi is still colorless and transparent, and they can't resist it at all when they encounter the Heavenly Clan.
But how did she do everything last night?
Ding Ruoyu thought about it desperately, his brain was buzzing, but he only remembered that he was whipped with thunder and lightning at the end.
After the electric light pierced into the skin, she didn't feel pain, and after fainting, it seemed that something intervened in her thoughts, dominating her, and bringing out all the potential in her body.
The wound of thunder and lightning healed in an instant under the golden light, and the wind under his feet and the fire in his palm all merged into one and rushed to the heart of the black-robed man......
The palm of her clenched hand was slightly tinged with a faint golden yellow, as if a piece of gold dust had been sprinkled on it, shaking with a soft light.
Ding Ruoyu calmed down, sat cross-legged in front of her, looked at her palms, and asked her if it mattered.
"It doesn't matter." The golden light in his palm faded and disappeared, and Ding Ruoyu also felt a little weak. She didn't know if the method she had figured out was right or wrong, so she didn't dare to try it again, so she had to continue to follow the tips in the book to consolidate and review the techniques she had learned.
That night, Lihong secretly sent someone to take her to the Red Cloud Palace.
Taking this opportunity, she voiced all her doubts.
"It's me...... The chosen ones. He didn't expect that she would be able to restore most of the details of the battle between the forest and the flowing flames.
Ding Ruoyu sat cross-legged on the ground, reading the air swirling, forming a tiny golden vortex in the palm of his hand.
The second trial seems to be a bit more than the previous one.
Li Hong took the sword hanging on the wall and drew a talisman in the air to suppress the mental power on her body.
Ding Ruoyu looked at him puzzled.
"I killed tens of thousands of demon soldiers back then before I raised my mind qi to the point of armoring, and it is impossible for you to ascend to the sky in one step." The spell was like a demonic spell, and the forbidden release trapped her body, emitting black smoke, and strange silver runes flashed everywhere.
"Try to break free of it before dawn." Lihong put away his sword and walked away.
Ding Ruoyu stretched out her hand and touched a subtle rune that she couldn't understand at all, and her fingertips suddenly hurt as if they had been pricked by a needle. She retracted her hand, knowing that it couldn't be forced, so she carefully observed the pattern of the flow of runes.
There are three types of runes, in addition to the most conspicuous silver runes, there are purple runes that appear after every third silver rune, and black runes that are hidden in the forbidden and are barely visible.
She drew her dagger and found that these things were like air, and she couldn't cut through them. She poured her mind qi into the dagger, and the fire flickered, but only the purple runes were temporarily hidden, and then continued to glow dimly, and the other two runes were not affected at all.
Ding Ruoyu put down the dagger and recited the magic trick silently, wanting to regain the feeling when the golden nian qi was cast, and after trying for more than half an hour, there was still only a transparent air flow in his palm, and it seemed that he could no longer find the previous state.
She couldn't just give up, she secretly determined. However, until the end of the Yin period, the ban was not loosened, and it was tossed stronger by her than when it was first laid.
Li Hong walked over with a smile and a smile, broke the formation, and handed her a pill that had been refined overnight.
The pill was green and looked like poison, and Ding Ruoyu swallowed it without saying a word.
A burst of thought power poured out from her palm, a faint golden color, and finally made her hope again. Not long after taking the pill, the fatigue of sleepless nights had completely subsided, and I was full of energy as if I had just woken up from a sound sleep.
She couldn't help but look at Lihong gratefully, this person often sleepless, I wonder if it's because of taking this miraculous medicine all year round?
"Come here every night until you can break the ban." Lihong patted her head and pointed to the side door.
The small sedan chair arrived at the dead camp in time before the end of the day, and Ding Ruoyu bypassed the instructors who were guarding, sneaked over the wall, and went downstairs into the obsidian hall, where she was the only one.
"I've become the supreme leader of the Witch Cult, how can I still act so sneaky......" She sat on the ground, remembering the experience of the night, and couldn't help but hide her face and sigh.
