Chapter Twenty-Three: Head to Head

Time passed minute by minute, cumulus clouds gradually spread in the sky, although the climate is hot, but often there are large white clouds drifting over just to cover the scorching sun, so that the whole mountain light changes darkly, there is a moment of coolness, from the forest to look up, only to see the sun through the leaves, the stars scattered spots on the fallen grass sprinkled.

At this time, there were three young girls in the forest who were sitting on the big rocks in the small grassy area and talking softly, the voice was so small that they could hardly hear what was said, but looking at their expressions and tones, they seemed to be in a good mood and did not look worried at all.

I don't know how long it took, but the sunlight shining into the trees was completely covered by the thick cumulus clouds in the sky, and even the entire mountain forest seemed to lose its color.

Just when no one was paying attention, an unusual white mist filled the forest from somewhere! You know, how can there be white fog in this kind of weather?

The white mist rolled and stirred, dense and heavy, and surrounded the three girls from afar, but the three girls were unaware, still talking and laughing about something, the white mist suddenly rolled at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, and immediately engulfed the figures of the three girls, and they couldn't see anything!

But a moment later, there was an angry roar from the thick fog! A black shadow appeared from the white mist, scurrying around inside, and the white mist that filled the entire forest suddenly shrank in the direction of the black shadow, quickly shrinking to a radius of three meters.

"Sure enough!" A pleasant voice came from behind a big tree near the meadow, and I saw a beautiful girl jumping out from behind the big tree, it was Jiang Xinyi!

Almost at the same time, a handsome young man jumped from the big tree next to him, and it was naturally Zhang Shuo.

The two glanced at each other, comprehending, Zhang Shuo took out a "ghost exorcism talisman" from the Qiankun bag and pinched it in his hand, and in the other hand there was an extra peachwood sword at some point, and Jiang Xinyi pinched his fingers and silently recited the incantation, and suddenly many colorful insects flew out from the ground and trees, buzzing around her head, presumably some Gu insects hatched from Gu powder.

The two of them were engrossed in guarding, Zhang Shuo was shaking, staring coldly at the black shadow in the white mist, "Where is the demon?" If you dare to bring disaster to the world and people's lives, and if you don't go back to your realm, I will beat you to the ground, so that you can't even be a ghost. ”

The black shadow that was originally scurrying in the fog suddenly stopped, and there was a miserable hoarse voice: "Ignorant junior.... Do you think you can fool me with just a few "puppetry"? ”

Before the words fell, a violent wind suddenly blew around the black shadow, blowing the leaves flying upside down, and in the exclamations of Zhang Shuo and Jiang Xinyi, the white mist and the black shadow rushed towards the two.

"Be careful!" Jiang Xinyi was shocked, hurriedly pushed Zhang Shuo away, and with a finger, the group of colorful Gu insects rushed into the white mist one after another, and at the same time dodged to avoid it, and could avoid this impact.

The white mist rushed over and stopped, and a strange laugh came from the black shadow in the fog: "Carving insect skills." As soon as he finished speaking, the group of Gu worms fell out of the fog and scattered on the ground and struggled for a moment before they stopped moving.

Jiang Xinyi was shocked, she never expected that her Gu Worm Array would be cracked so easily!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Three objects flew out of the fog and landed right in front of Jiang Xinyi, Zhang Shuo squinted and saw that it was three scarecrows the size of a palm, each with a hair wrapped around it, which should be Zeng Wen and others.

"It turns out that the puppet technique was performed by you, and it was this kid who stuffed the puppet into the puppet... Uh!!h ”

The black shadow suddenly screamed as he spoke, and a blue light flew out of the white mist and slowly fell on Jiang Xinyi's shoulder, the green light immediately dissipated, and a small black beetle "squeak, squeak" screamed, it was Jiang Xinyi's natal immortal Gu - idiot!

It turned out that just now, Jiang Xinyi summoned the little idiot out and quietly mixed into the Gu worm, and really hurt the demon by surprise!

The black shadow roared, screaming in rage.

"Silkworm - Soul !!"

The hoarse, shrill voice was bitter and resentful, and it was clearly furious.

"You actually have a "silkworm soul"!?You were the one who hurt my doppelganger last night, and I want you to die.....! ”

The mist suddenly dissipated, and a "humanoid" black shadow roared and rushed over, Zhang Shuo reacted the fastest, flashed in front of Jiang Xinyi, casually threw more than a dozen "ghost exorcism talismans", sealed them with one hand, and recited words in his mouth, "exorcism talismans" as if spiritually gathered in the air to form a "gossip map"!

As soon as the black shadow hit the rune paper, the rune paper suddenly shone brightly, colorful, and the shade of the surrounding trees suddenly brightened, and the black shadow was illuminated by the light, and suddenly the figure turned into a cloud of black gas, and was forced to retreat a foot under the light of the gossip map, roaring violently.

Zhang Shuo concentrated on chanting the mantra, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and he gathered the spiritual power of his whole body on the peach wood sword, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, pointing straight to the sky, and reciting it with difficulty.

"Heaven, earth, nothing, extreme!"

"Qian, Kun, borrow, law!"

The peach wood sword instantly lit up with several soft yellow lights, and the sword body was filled with the mighty righteousness between heaven and earth, at this time, Zhang Shuo's mana was like being reborn, and the peach wood sword pointed straight at the black shadow, and the aura broke out from the muscles and veins of the whole body along the arms and merged into the wooden sword, and then shot from the tip of the sword into the gossip diagram, only to see that the rune paper on the map suddenly burst out of a dazzling golden light! Forcefully forced the black gas back to two meters away.

The piercing and sharp screams came again, like the noise made by rubbing glass, which was indescribably unpleasant, which made Zhang Shuo upset and almost distracted, and the invisible pressure forced him to grit his teeth and insist, "Xiao Jiang, you go quickly, I'll take them here, take them away." ”

Jiang Xinyi was shocked when she heard this, "What about you?" ”

"Don't worry about me leaving, I can't stand it anymore!" Zhang Shuo let out a loud shout and pressed down the black qi that almost fought back.

Jiang Xinyi stared at Zhang Shuo deeply, a touch of determination flashed in her quiet eyes, her fingers slowly lifted like spring onions, and her ten fingers crossed to reseal.

"Let's go together!"

Zhang Shuo was taken aback, "You ......"

"Then let's all stay!!" The black qi that was originally compressed to two meters suddenly soared, and an invisible wave of qi rushed to his face, Zhang Shuo was caught off guard, as if he was hit hard, he didn't feel a muffled snort, and the gossip map in the air suddenly burst open, all the rune paper was burned out, and even the peachwood sword was shattered, turning into a pile of debris and scattered in the wind!

Zhang Shuo was hit by the air wave, and involuntarily bumped into Jiang Xinyi behind him, and the two of them screamed and flew out a few meters away at the same time, falling heavily to the ground!

Zhang Shuo's muscles and bones were about to break, his internal organs seemed to be twisted into one place, almost out of breath, but he still struggled to get up, blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, Jiang Xinyi's face was pale, and she couldn't care about the pain all over her body, so she quickly got up and supported him, "Are you okay?" ”

Zhang Shuo shook his head, a smile was forcibly squeezed out on his pale face, and cold sweat was still breaking out on his forehead, obviously not lightly injured.

Jiang Xinyi couldn't help but have a sour nose when she saw him obviously seriously injured but stubborn, the mist in her eyes was hazy, and the crystal tears were shaking in her eyes, shaking.

The black qi turned into a human form again, and sneered coldly: "Junior, with your little bit of Taoism, you want to do the Tao for the sky? You have done a lot of bad things to me, and you deserve to die for your sin, but I give you a chance, as long as you hand over those people, I will spare your lives! ”

Zhang Shuo's anger surged, and he was about to sneer at him, but he spit out a mouthful of blood with a mouthful, if Jiang Xinyi hadn't helped him quickly, he would have almost fallen.

"Hahaha....." The black shadow sneered arrogantly: "Although you have some ability to improve your mana with the help of the aura of heaven and earth, you must repay what you borrow!" Now that your mana is backfired, if you move your anger, you will definitely die, how about it? Hand over the man or die! ”

Zhang Shuo's whole body was in severe pain, sweating from pain, and he couldn't say a word, so he could only stare angrily.

"Demon, it's still impossible to count who will kill the deer, take it!"

Jiang Xinyi scolded lightly, took out a pack of red medicinal powder from her bag and threw it into the air, before she could see what was going on, the medicinal powder exploded in the air, and the black shadow was furious, retreating three meters backwards, and roared angrily: "Miao Jiang witchcraft!" ”

Jiang Xinyi turned a deaf ear, pinched her fingers and chanted a mantra, and the medicinal powder in the air suddenly turned into thick smoke and condensed into a reddish-brown "giant snake" in the shape of red smoke, boiling in the air, circling and expanding, and rushing down towards the black shadow!

The black shadow was unflustered, and from the shadow stretched out a ghost hand that was white and rotten, full of pus and blood, and pinched it hard in the air!

"Boom!" The red light danced, the "giant snake" exploded suddenly, and dozens of strange-shaped poisonous scorpions and poisonous insects fell out of the smoke, the smell was unpleasant, and it was already shriveled and dead before it landed, but before the black shadow could move further, the dissipated red medicine powder gathered like smoke, and the "giant snake" rolled and rolled, and the black shadow was tightly entangled with lightning speed.

Jiang Xinyi was waiting for this moment, and then sprinkled a handful of yellow powder and a handful of blue powder into the air one after another, and then picked up Zhang Shuo, who was about to be unconscious, and turned around and fled.

Before the black shadow could break free, it was shrouded in a puff of yellow smoke and a puff of blue smoke, and he suddenly became angry and roared, "You can't run!" ”

Let the demon shout and scold, Jiang Xinyi ignored it, she just wanted to escape as soon as possible with Zhang Shuo on her back, but she was a girl after all, and it was really laborious to carry a boy who was more than one meter eight on her back, but fortunately, she had been practicing since she was a child, so her physique was far better than ordinary people, and she finally ran a distance of several hundred meters with Zhang Shuo on her back, but she suddenly found that something was wrong while running, why was it in this range no matter how she ran? Even the position of the flowers and trees in front of me has not changed, as if they were spinning in the original.

"Ghost hits the wall!"

Jiang Xinyi's heart jumped, and she was horrified: "No wonder it trapped that demon so easily, it turned out that it used most of its mana on "ghost hitting the wall"!" ”

Secretly frightened, this demon can actually forcibly lay down the "ghost hit the wall" during the day, the Tao is already incredible, if it is completely unsealed, then who else in the world can accept it!?

"Well......" Zhang Shuo woke up from the pain all over his body, Jiang Xinyi was overjoyed, and hurriedly put him down and slowly leaned against the tree.

"Is it better?"

"Hmm... Hold on. Zhang Shuo stretched out his hand and took out two golden pills from the inner bag, one was handed to Jiang Xinyi, and the other was taken by himself, then he closed his eyes and crossed his knees to luck the dantian, and began to refine the medicinal power of the pill, and quickly healed the wounds, and after a while, a yellow aura floated out of his head, and his face was slightly relieved, with a strange flush, and Jiang Xinyi did not bother him, originally she was injured very lightly, and she didn't need to take the healing pill at all, so she just waited silently while being on guard.

About two minutes later, Zhang Shuo slowly finished his work, the scorching true qi on the top of his head gradually cooled and dissipated, and his complexion was obviously better, Jiang Xinyi was surprised and delighted, he couldn't imagine that this elixir was so magical, it made him recover so quickly!

Zhang Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Jiang Xinyi's excited and joyful look, a trace of warmth inexplicably surged in his heart, "Don't worry, I'm much better." ”

"Hmm." Jiang Xinyi helped him up, Zhang Shuo stood still and stared around, asking, "Where is this?" What about demons? ”

Jiang Xinyi worried: "I was temporarily trapped by my "Five-color Thousand Insect Array", but my cultivation is limited, and now I can only use the "Three Colors" to drive the hundred insects, and the power is greatly reduced, and it is only seven or eight minutes at most, but now I have encountered the "ghost hitting the wall" again, and I can't escape......

After listening to what Jiang Xinyi said, Zhang Shuo suddenly realized, "No wonder its mana has dropped so much, it was originally used for "ghost hitting the wall", and it was really incredible that it could forcibly lay down "ghost hitting the wall" during the day." ”

sighed to himself again, I thought that the yang energy was so strong during the day that it must have a great suppression of the demon, but now it seems that it still underestimated its terrible strength, and it also angered it, it seems that it is a murderous intention to leave them behind, "ghost hitting the wall" In addition to the intervention of external forces or forcibly breaking it, only by killing the demon can it be self-defeating, but even if it consumes a lot of mana, he and Jiang Xinyi are not opponents!

What's even more unfortunate is that the injury has just improved now, if you forcibly drive the spiritual power and the old injury will recur, the light will be more injured than the injury, and the worst will be killed on the spot, so the current Zhang Shuo can't use spells.

What to do? Is it true that you are going to die here?

Zhang Shuo thought about it in distress, estimating that the demon was about to be killed, but he couldn't come up with a way to break his head, Jiang Xinyi knew his thoughts, and said with relief: "Don't worry, senior, there will always be a way." ”

"Who's that?" Zhang Shuo suddenly pointed at Jiang Xinyi's back in horror, and there was almost no blood on his face!

Jiang Xinyi was shocked and hurriedly turned around, but there was no one in front of her except for the dense trees, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and before she could turn around, her back was inexplicably numb, and her whole body was already unable to move.

Jiang Xinyi's eyes were stunned, her heart was shocked and shocked, and she wanted to open her mouth, but she found that she couldn't even speak!

After Zhang Shuo sealed Jiang Xinyi's several meridians, he lowered his eyes and circled in front of her, avoiding her angry and puzzled gaze, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry Xiao Jiang, I have no choice but to do it, as long as you live, the nightmare will end one day!" ”
