Chapter 12: Entering the Demonic Barrier (2)
Xiahoudun immediately became alert, he gently pushed Chen Xuan away and stood up, "Who are you?" ”
"Who am I?" The red-haired man said arrogantly, "Does a dying man need to know so much?" ”
"Is there really a demon-like man......" Xiahoudun realized that the red-haired man in front of him should be a demon-like man, so he was ready to fight, he walked down the stairs and stood less than a meter away from the red-haired man, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Why are you asking me for?" The back of the red-haired man's dagger slapped into his palm, "The habitat that the boss built yesterday has broken in today." Our boss was going to let you go, who would have thought that it was the famous team leader Xiahou and his girlfriend, the boss said, if you don't solve you at this time, I'm afraid there won't be such a good chance in the future. ”
"What are you talking to him?" At this time, a woman with a green double ponytail came again, holding an iron rod in her hand, "Don't kill them quickly!" It's good to go back and turn it in. ”
"It's up to you?" Xiahou sneered and punched the red-haired man in the face. Although he was affected by the demon barrier, the enemy was strong and I was weak, but Xiahoudun had the power of fighting spirit after all, and he beat the red-haired man to the ground with one punch.
"Damn!" The green-haired woman on the side saw this scene and came up with a curse and a stick.
Xiahoudun waved his hand sideways, breaking the iron rod in the green-haired woman's hand, and kicked the green-haired girl down with a roundabout kick.
The green-haired girl who fell to the ground stood up, spit out two bloody teeth with a "phew", stood up again, picked up the broken iron rod, and stabbed at Xiahoudun, "Can I still lose to you kid in the Demon Barrier Array?" ”
Xiahoudun grabbed the stabbing iron rod, pulled it back, and lifted his leg and knee to hit the green-haired woman in the abdomen.
At this time, the red-haired man on the side also stood up, and seeing that the situation was not good, he waved his dagger and rushed towards Chen Xuan, who was still standing on the stairs. Seeing this, Xiahoudun pushed the green-haired woman in the direction where Chen Xuan was, and the red-haired man actually stabbed the dagger into the green-haired woman's throat, so frightened that the red-haired man quickly pulled out the dagger. I saw the green-haired woman with round eyes, groaned and fell to the ground, and then turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated.
"It's over, the boss is going to kill me," the red-haired man took a few steps back with a bloody dagger in his hand, "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it!" ”
"You can go and accompany her." Xia Houdun stepped forward and dragged the red-haired man's head to the ground, and at the same time that the head made a sound due to hitting the ground, Xiahoudun got up and stepped on the red-haired man's chest, and with the sound of broken bones, the red-haired man's head tilted to the right, and it also turned into a puff of green smoke and dissipated.
"Why are you so ruthless?" Chen Xuan stood on the stairs and said, "Even if they are demons, you can make them die better." ”
"If they duel with me in a dignified manner, I may consider letting them die with dignity," Xiahoudun looked back at Chen Xuan, "but if they do something like this, this is the only end!" ”
Chen Xuan sighed, she was not angry with Xiahoudun, she knew that Xiahoudun was so painful because of her, but she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she saw the two young people turn into demons and die so miserably.
"You don't have to feel sad for them," Xiahoudun seemed to see through Chen Xuan's mind at once, "You must know that a human being, if he does not do such things as murder addiction, murder, or stabbing his parents, he will not become a demon." Since they are subjectively demons, it means that they have given up their humanity and they are no longer human. ”
Chen Xuan didn't speak, just lowered his head and was silent.
"Let's go!" Xiahou waved at Chen Xuan and motioned for Chen Xuan to leave here, "Let's go meet their boss." ”
Chen Xuan was just about to go downstairs, when he suddenly felt weak and almost fell down the stairs, but fortunately, Xiahoudun stepped forward to help her.
"Are you alright?" Xiahoudun asked with concern.
Chen Xuan helped Xiahoudun, slowed down for a while, and said, "I don't feel energetic, and my head is a little dizzy." ”
"It's supposed to be caused by the Demon Barrier Array, we need to get out of here quickly." Xiahoudun said, then turned his back, "I'll carry you." ”
"No, I'll go by myself." Chen Xuan was worried that Xiahoudun would lose his physical strength, so he didn't let him carry it, but insisted on walking down the stairs by herself, she looked left and right, and asked, "In what direction?" ”
Xiahoudun also stood there and looked at the situation on the left and right sides of the corridor, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I can only take one step at a time." ”
Xiahoudun helped Chen Xuan and walked in the direction of the right side of the stairwell. The dim corridor illuminated only by the safety exit lights and the faint floor lamp, coupled with the fear in her heart, made Chen Xuan subconsciously grasp Xiahoudun tightly, only in this way could she feel a trace of security, but this could not alleviate the continuous influence of the Demon Barrier Array on her.
Walking and walking, Chen Xuan's body became even weaker, her face was no longer bloody, her lips were gradually white, she breathed weakly, and grabbed Xiahoudun tighter: "Xiaodun, I don't seem to be able to do it anymore." ”
Xiahoudun, who had been looking around and looking for enemies, turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, he hugged Chen Xuan tightly to his side, and deliberately slowed down his pace, "Breathe slowly, don't be nervous, we will definitely be able to get out." ”
"Xiao Xuan, I don't want to die," Chen Xuan became a little delirious, and her speech gradually became chaotic and unrestrained, she leaned her head on Xiahou Xuan's shoulder, tears flowed down her eyes, "I still have to marry you, and I still have to take care of my mother's ......"
"Stop talking, save your energy." Xiahoudun said to Chen Xuan, his eyes were also a little damp and hot, he once again regretted that he couldn't analyze the existence of demons as soon as possible, he also regretted that he was not fully prepared because of his conceit, and what he regretted the most was that he couldn't confess to Chen Xuan earlier and tell her how much he loved her. Xiahoudun finally couldn't wait any longer, he shouted regardless of it: "Come on! It's all out! What is it to hide! Give it all to me! ”
Xiahoudun shouted and shouted, and found that the echo that came back was mixed with the sound of footsteps. Xiahoudun searched for it, and saw a figure slowly walking towards him, he helped Chen Xuan sit on the ground, let her lean against the wall, and then summoned the Nine Infant Tooth Gun, ready for battle.
The figure was getting closer and closer, and Xiahoudun could see it clearly, and the person who came was a gray-haired man who looked to be in his sixties. The man was wearing a dark brown suit with a white pointed collar standing on the outside of the suit, and underneath it was wearing suit-colored trousers and dark brown pointed scalp shoes. The man was holding a thick-skinned book in his right hand, but instead of looking at it, he stared straight at Xiahoudun.
"Who are you?" Xiahoudun asked.
The man continued to stare directly at Xiahoudun, closed the book, and said, "My name is the source of the sin blade, and I am the staff officer of the 16th Legion of the Heavenly Devouring Demon Kingdom Expedition. Unexpectedly, after reading the information of Team Leader Xiahou, you came to the door in person, which is really fateful. ”
"Heaven Devouring Demon Kingdom?" Xiahoudun raised his vigilance, of course he had heard of the "Heavenly Devouring Demon Country", although he didn't know what it was, but he could be sure that the other party must be a pure demon, so he didn't dare to underestimate the other party, "Presumably the person who cast the Demon Barrier Array is you, right?" ”
"It's just a little trick." Sin Blade Yuan said with a smile, "Who knew that his subordinates didn't know how to use it, which made Team Leader Xiahou laugh." ”
Xiahoudun glanced at Chen Xuan, who was sitting on the side, and then glared at the source of the sin blade and said, "Then give you two choices: either take this magic barrier and let her out, and I will accompany you to fight; Either you're going to die here now! ”
"Sure enough, weak people prefer to talk harshly." Sin Blade Yuan smiled, he slowly opened a page of the book, waved his left hand forward, and while the palm of his hand slashed over the top of the page, he brought out three black spikes five or six inches long, stabbing at Xiahoudun at an extremely fast speed.
Xiahoudun raised the gun to block it, blocked one, sent the gun forward, and bounced another one away. However, the third steel nail caught him off guard, and stabbed deeply into Xiahoudun's left shoulder, causing Xiahoudun to kneel on one knee in pain.
"Do you have some skills...... Sin Blade Yuan said, then turned another page of the book, and sent the palm of his hand upwards and forward, summoning a long sword to stab at the injured Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun held on and stood up with the Nine Infant Gun. He dodged the sword sideways, and along with it, his body swirled, and he swung his spear at the source of the sin blade. The source of the sin blade retreated slightly, dodging Xiahoudun's attack.
"Interesting!" Sin Blade Yuan admired and continued to flip through the book, only to see a long dragon of purple light flying out of the book, filling the entire corridor and rushing towards Xiahoudun.
Seeing this, Xiahoudun hurriedly blocked with his spear, and was in a stalemate with the purple dragon, he exerted all the strength of his body, and did not dare to relax at all. The size of the purple dragon was huge, and the slight deviation of the body would hit the wall of the corridor, and Xiahoudun knew that if he didn't hold it, the purple dragon would definitely hurt Chen Xuan. He moved the head of the spear forward slightly, tilting the body of the spear slightly, and then swung the spear vigorously, and the purple dragon turned into purple powder and disappeared. And Xiahoudun, who was too violent, also found it difficult to stand firm because of his lack of physical strength, so he had to hold on to the Nine Infant Gun to barely stand still.
Sin Blade Yuan applauded on the side, "Yes, Team Leader Xiahou, if it's outside the Demon Barrier, it's not as easy for me to get rid of you. ”
Xiahoudun did not hesitate, teleported, came to the source of the sin blade, raised his gun and stabbed him in the throat. Sin Blade Yuan was taken aback, he couldn't believe that Xiahoudun still had such physical strength, and hurriedly dodged to the side, but after all, it was too slow, although he was not stabbed in the throat by Xiahoudun, but his face was marked with blood by the head of the gun.
"Damn!" Somewhat angry, Sin Blade Sources flipped through the book and summoned a scimitar from it. He held a scimitar in his hand and slashed at Xiahoudun.
Xiahoudun's first reaction was that Chen Xuan was behind him, of course he didn't dare to dodge at will, so he had to defend it within a limited range, but he couldn't dodge, and a large hole was cut diagonally on his body that ran through his left shoulder to his abdomen, his clothes were torn, blood flowed out of the wound, and a mouthful of blood spit on the ground.
"Die!" The source of the sin blade swung his knife and slashed at Xiahoudun again.
Xiahoudun held on and dodged the attack. At this time, Xiahoudun suddenly remembered that once when he was studying at the Secret Service Academy of the Spirit Recording Bureau, he had read a research report by Guo Jia on the Demon Barrier Array, which described that the Demon Barrier Array was filled with ionized gas, and there were free electrons and ions in equal amounts, and the soul spirit child was interfered with by electromagnetic force.
"Plasma ......" This gave Xiahoudun an inspiration, if the physical state of the medium of the magic barrier array is similar to the plasma of high-temperature flames, maybe the location can be transferred through the fire escape, although you can't escape the magic barrier, but you can suspend the battle and adjust it temporarily. Then he endured the pain, ran to Chen Xuan's side, put away his gun, picked up Chen Xuan, and fled in front of the source of the sin blade.
"Fire escape?" Sin Blade Yuan looked at the place where Xiahou Xuan and Chen Xuan disappeared in surprise, stunned for a moment, and then he turned a few more pages of the book, chanting the incantation in his mouth. The spell fell, and a spell spirit in the form of a girl in ragged clothes and a rotten face appeared next to the source of the sin blade, he glanced at the spell spirit and ordered, "Chase me!" ”
Xiahoudun fled to a place with Chen Xuan, and he was seriously injured and had no energy to think about what kind of place this was. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the unconscious Chen Xuan with tears in his eyes, not knowing what to do for a while.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps made Xia Houdun nervous again, and he looked up to see a tall and burly man walking towards him.
The man looked to be 1.9 meters tall, and his strong physique made his figure look very broad. He looked to be in his thirties, with medium-length hair, and although he didn't have wax, he stood on his head in layers, like a burning black flame. There was a hint of an arrogant smile on his majestic countenance, and a thick murderous aura was revealed in his gray eyes. He was dressed in a dark gray uniform, draped in a black cashmere trench coat, and wore leather boots similar to the color of the trench coat on his feet, which was the standard attire of the Soul Recording Bureau's special operations team leader. The man was holding a short-handled tic-tac-toe halberd, saying that it was a short halberd, but that was only for his tall and mighty physique, and for ordinary people, it was not an exaggeration to regard the halberd as a long blade. The tip of the painting halberd is sharp and dazzling, the small branch of the painting halberd is sharp and shiny, the halberd handle is carved and cast by the golden silk nan wood, the handle is inlaid with a golden dragon pattern, the name is "Fangtian painting halberd".
Xiahoudun recognized that person was Lu Bu, the captain of the third special operations team of the Spirit Record Bureau, he supported his exhausted body, and asked weakly at the figure that came by, "Excuse me, is it Lu Bu, Captain Lu?" ”
However, as soon as he asked this sentence, Xia Houdun began to feel that something was wrong. He thought to himself that if the special combat team is mobilized, it will usually be to the site of a large-scale mission, or to carry out extremely dangerous missions, and in both cases, a large number of team members will need to cooperate. But at present, in such a quiet corridor, it is obviously not like a special combat team member has entered. Could it be that Lu Bu came by himself? But the special combat team has never fought unprepared battles, so how could Lu Bu take risks alone and enter the magic barrier alone?
Xiahoudun thought like this, and it was when he was thinking about this that he saw that Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian painting halberd and slashed towards him.
