Chapter 176: Metamorphosis

The figure heard a low murmur of smoke.

His distant figure was slightly stunned, as if an invisible needle penetrated his heart, fixed him in the stagnant air, and also cut a trace of pain in his eyes, diffusing the three or five circles of red in his eyes.

The dim light was just right to hide this subtle change in him, like water on the ice, and the ice did not crack, but the edges and corners had already melted away in her voice.

"Like smoke, don't look at it."

Ning Jingchen's hand gently passed behind her ear, covering her flustered eyes with a jade-like temperature, and gently took her into his arms.

Qi Ruyan heard his breathing flow through her ears like a spring, and then slowly overflowed into the air, all in capital letters—the word "distressed".

With her eyes closed, she could clearly feel the unconscious trembling around her.

But because he was hugged very deeply and tightly by Ning Jingchen, this feeling of fear and sudden betrayal gradually dissolved into his broad embrace, penetrating into his unique warmth that belonged to her, and the sense of stability that made her feel at ease gradually replaced all the original uneasy emotions.

He actually tolerated all of this.

"Like smoke, are you better?"

Ning Jingchen stroked her broad palm through her hair, patted her back, patiently coaxed her like a baby, and whispered in her ear: "Some things, if you don't want to know the answer, don't touch them, but if you don't want to know everything, you have to be prepared to be hurt, understand?" ”

At that moment, her soft heart was violently struck by this sentence!

In that moment, she seemed to understand.

The man standing behind her may have understood everything from the beginning, but he protected her in his way and protected her innocence.

He made her laugh, he made her laugh, and he tried to keep her away from all the tricks.

The wind in the soul world was a little obscure and clammy and cold, but it became fragrant and slightly sweet because of the familiar faint scent of bamboo on his body, and it was also warm like spring because of the heat in his chest.

She slowly raised her eyes, and there was no longer the panic and hesitation in her eyes.

She smiled and said softly: "Ning Jingchen, no matter what the final answer is, I will remember that there was a day when you comforted me so much in this cold and warm place." ”

After that, the perseverance in her eyes was a little more than before, and she strode towards the two masked men guarding Ruo Canxue with the hexagram soul in hand!

She turned around too quickly, and she didn't hear Ning Jingchen's soft sigh and fell into the dust.

He said—

"Fool, that's not a relief......"

Seeing the murderous aura coming like smoke, the two masked men both showed fear and jealousy, unconsciously drew their swords in front of them and cowered back a few steps back.

"I don't care who your subordinates are, or which masters you work for. But you are wrong to hurt my friend today. You are aiding and abusing, which is against the morality of the world, and it is even more wrong! ”

After that, he raised his right hand in an instant!

The hexagram soul turned into a sword rainbow and flew out like a streamer, and in an instant, the entire dim light was illuminated white!

"Whew-"

"Whew-"

Where the white light flew, two bright blood rays splashed down in the dazzling white light!

In the red and white, the white light like a sword rainbow turned back and quickly fell back into the palm of the hand that was discarded like smoke!

Suddenly, the entire room, the time also fell suddenly at that moment, and it was dark to the bottom.

Only the strong smell of blood quickly diffused into the air, making people feel a burst of obscurity.

On the hexagram soul in her hand, a drop of bright red blood slid down and splashed into the air!

The bright red blood demon splattered on the white jade stone, and Huo Di spread out a shocking blood flower!

She stepped on the blood, and when she lifted it again, a bright red glare swept over everyone's eyes.

Ning Jingchen was behind her, silently staring at her back who was so resolute to carry the hexagram soul up the stone steps, and there was more than just a thrilling word in his eyes.

In his eyes, seven points of distress and three points of appreciation broke into confusion.

- He wished that she would always be the fairy girl who did not know anything about the world, but at this moment, he preferred that she would be a desert rose who could take charge of herself, fearless of storms and scorching sun.

In this way, even if one day, if he is gone, she can escape unscathed.

For him, this could not be better.

In his eyes, she walked up the stairs step by step, raised her hand brightly, and decisively slashed down at the iron chain on Ruo Canxue's body.

"Click—"

With a crackle of metal, the chain fell to the ground, curled up in a ball.

Ruo Canxue was overjoyed and rushed forward to give a full hug to abandon Ruyan!

Her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles from the first snow, and she hugged her tightly and said a choked word with anger-

"His aunt's, Ye Ningshuang, that woman dared to attack Lao Tzu, and also attacked the man that Lao Tzu fell in love with, I think she is tired and crooked!"

"Okay, okay, it's my family's Canxue who is the most powerful, and after a while, she will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, okay?"

Qi Ruyan smiled brightly, comforted Ruo Canxue and continued: "However, they should already be near the Soul Prison at this moment, we have to stop them from opening the Soul Prison as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Without further ado, let's go."

Ruo Canxue followed closely beside Qi Ruyan, and said as she walked: "I once heard Gu Beiyi say that there was a powerful hexagram array before entering the soul prison. There are too powerful formations in the hexagram array to fail, and only after passing the formation can you enter the soul bridge. And under the soul bridge is the fiery magma, if you don't have a strong cultivation, you can't pass through. At the end of the Soul Bridge is the Soul Prison. The soul prison is guarded by three ancient divine beasts, and it is extremely ferocious. If it weren't for Gu Beiyi's cooperation, they would never have approached the soul prison in such a short period of time. ”

"I hope so......"

As she walked, she replied casually with a faint sense of uneasiness in her heart for some reason.

At this time, Ning Jingchen, who was following them closely, felt a palpitation in his chest inexplicably, and a violent heart twitch followed, and the feeling of suffocation filled his entire chest, so that he had to stop and cover his heart with his hands with difficulty!

Hearing Ning Chen's footsteps, he stopped and looked back at him, only to find that he seemed to have a painful look on his face, as if he was a little sad.

"Ning Jingchen?"

Qi Ruyan felt that the uneasiness in her heart was even stronger, and she tried to call Ning Jingchen softly.

But at this moment, Ning Jingchen forcibly endured, paused for a moment, and when he raised his eyes again, he was already full of smiles, and replied without any pain: "It's okay, I just seem to have dropped something." ”

He glanced at Ning Jingchen suspiciously, but he didn't see anything abnormal, so he could only think that he was too careful.

But the moment she turned around, Ning Jingchen's forehead was already sweating profusely, and her face was as pale as paper!
