Chapter 33: The Door of Life and Death

I never knew my heart could hurt like this.

After seeing Ruan Zhan's farewell to her and understanding what he said, Xiao Xia felt as if her heart had been taken away by life, and the indescribable pain made her faint directly to the ground, as if only the loss of consciousness and bottomless darkness could save her heartbreak.

"Natsu-"

Wan Li wanted to rush over to see her, but was stopped by Uncle Bao, "It's important to save Ah Zhan now, come with me." As he spoke, he rushed out of the battle first, because he was seriously injured, and if it weren't for the two brass support, he would almost be unsteady on his feet.

Wanli followed behind Uncle Bao with a big cloth bag, and in the bag was the things that Uncle Bao had collected after running around for so many years. In order to help his old friend, he did his best, and what he got was not only the strongest spells of each secret sect, but also some magic weapons and some spiritual treasures. Ruan Zhan took some of these things and used them to arrange this battle, and Uncle Bao put away the other things, because he also had his own plans in his heart.

In Ruan Zhan's opinion, this formation is called the Absolute Formation, and the book left by Master Long explains that this formation cannot be forcibly broken, but in Uncle Bao's opinion, he has gone through such a long life, he has seen everything, and he has also understood one thing - all things are born and die, and there is existence and restraint. No matter what kind of thing, no matter how powerful, there must be something to restrain it.

It's just that they don't know what is in the battle, but not knowing it doesn't mean giving up, so when Ruan Zhan was preparing for the final showdown, he commanded Wanli to prepare for a forcible break.

There is no door of life in this array, but there are doors of death and eyes of the array, and they are in one place, that is, the dead locust. Since you can't live, then it's better to attack the door of death, anyway, Ah Zhan and his old friends are also in ashes in the array, so no matter what kind of danger it is, it's worth a try.

He had long tied all kinds of spells, magic weapons and spiritual objects together with a rather special and powerful silk net, because it took different methods and different sects of spiritual power to sacrifice these things, but at a critical juncture, he couldn't deal with them one by one, so he used the spiritual net to make them communicate with their spiritual energy, and then used his own magic to let these treasures collectively attack a place.

He expected that he would be injured in a duel with his old friend, but fortunately, there was a young man like Wan Li, who had a unique yang qi and vigorous blood, to help him, and now he was even more fortunate to have two more evils, in this case, the one in 10,000 chance was also extremely precious and must be used. He could see clearly behind the stone that although Ah Zhan's method was very good and almost successful, there was still a wisp of evil in the heart of his old friend that did not come out, so Ah Zhan failed, and the father and son had to enter the battle together and face the situation of dying together.

It has passed the eclipse moment, and his old friend has become a demon, and he must not be able to save it, but he has made so many preparations just to see if he can save Ah Zhan's life, or his soul. This kid didn't do anything wrong, and he shouldn't have such a tragic ending.

That is, the timing is very important not to let Ah Zhan's attempt to destroy the demon fail, but also to be able to save Ah Zhan's life or soul. At this time, he can only grasp a small part, and more importantly, it depends on God's arrangement. It is necessary to let Ah Zhan be hurt by the formation after his father, that is, God must let the will of heaven be eliminated first, and then they can forcibly break the formation and save Ah Zhan.

If Ah Zhan dies first, or if both father and son die at the same time, everything is not to be discussed. At that time, he could only watch, so now he is very nervous, eager to see God and give this child a way to live. Let the Absolute Formation strangle his old friend first, and then he can try to see if he can keep his old friend's only descendant.

He asked Wan Li to take the spirit net and sit cross-legged not far from the eye of the formation, he put his hands on the heavenly spirit cover of Wan Li, and the two demons put their hands on the back of his heart, "Close your eyes, concentrate, don't care about the things in the array, just listen to my orders, I say it, and you will use your strength at the same time." He commanded.

This is also dangerous to Wanli, because all kinds of different forces have to be cast on the spirit net through Wanli's body as a wire, if the spiritual power is too large, or the counterattack force that hits the desperate battle is too large, Wanli is the first to be implicated. Wan Li understands this very well, but he still does it without hesitation, which reminds him of the friendship between himself and his old friend, the brotherhood that transcends blood and life and death, how precious it is!

"What are they doing?" Wanli couldn't help but ask.

After taking a look at Xiao Xia, Ah Zhan turned around, not knowing that Xiao Xia had fainted. And Uncle Ruan, who became a demon, was also very strange, and suddenly fell silent after a while, as if he was thinking about something, and finally squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. From outside the formation, he could see the changes in the formation, as if there was a strong wind inside, blowing the two of them unsteadily, and feeling that Ah Zhan had difficulty breathing.

"Do your own thing and don't get distracted." Uncle Bao instructed Wan Li, looked up at the moon and then looked back at the battle, and saw that the lunar eclipse was about to pass, and the array had slowly started, and it was about to burst out with an astonishing murderous aura.

He didn't know what was wrong with his old friend, but he suppressed his heartbeat and looked for the best opportunity. You can't miss a single penny, you have to wait until the best time, if the opportunity arises at this time.

And Ruan's father in the formation, in addition to enduring the increasing lethality in the battle, he also had to endure the scenes that flashed in his mind. Every time the scene flashed, he felt a knife split his head, and then poured boiling water into his skull, making him want to stick his head into the ground and pour it out. But although his head hurt, his heart was cold for a while, and there was a disgusting breath in his chest that was squeezed out of his chest by this coolness.

But those scenes were so fast, so fast that they passed with just a flash of white light, and he couldn't catch them anyway. Now he can feel the danger in the array, and he has evil thoughts several times, wanting to kill the kid in front of him first, and then find a way, but as soon as he wants to kill him, his internal organs are twisted together, and it hurts so much that he can't even straighten his waist.

Why? Why is that?

Ruan Zhan resisted the murderous aura in the formation on the side, feeling that his soul was about to be blown away from his body by this strong wind. But seeing his father squatting on the ground in pain, he couldn't help but step forward and pull him. Unbeknownst to him, Ruan's father's hallucinations all disappeared, and the hatred of being fooled and calculated occupied his entire body and mind.

He grabbed Ruan Zhan's neck, lifted him high above the top, and glared at him viciously, "Why would you rather take your life than kill me?" Do you have a blood feud with me? ”

Ruan Zhan's strength was already a lot different from his father, just now he only had a little upper hand by virtue of the right time and place, but now he was in a desperate battle, and he was beaten back to the prototype, and he was not on guard at all, so he was restrained at once. He was already blown extremely uncomfortable by the qi in the formation, and now he was choked by the vital point of the throat, and his qi could not come out, and his limbs were even more unable to exert force, and he was held up in the air like a rag doll.

He couldn't speak, just shook his head. I thought to myself, my father gave him life, so what if I let my father take it now. It's just that my father was merciful all his life, but he ended up like this; It's just, Xiao Xia, he's sorry for her!

Looking at his fearless eyes, Ruan's father was filled with anger and doubts in his heart, and his heart was troubled, and he threw Ruan Zhan out as soon as he stretched out his hand, and smashed it until it hit the invisible wall of the battle before stopping. However, before Ruan Zhan could get up, he stretched out his hand to grab the void, and Ruan Zhan was sucked back like iron filings under a magnet, and was thrown above his head for the second time, "Then you want to kill demons and eliminate demons, and figure out that false name?" ”

Ruan Zhan still shook his head, so he was thrown out again.

The third time he was caught, "Death is on the verge of death, tell me why." Father Ruan almost roared.

"I just want to save my father, it's as simple as that!" Ruan Zhan shouted.

These words smashed on Ruan's father's heart like a heavy hammer, he only felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't think of why, which made him crazy, and used a brute force to impact the formation, bumping into all directions, wanting to break the formation. His strength was extremely strong, and this time he used it in this formation that could not be rushed, and the fluctuation of power accelerated the operation of the array, and the impact made Ruan Zhan stagger, and the force of the rebound was even more like hitting him, and in a moment he was injured and vomited blood to the ground.

In confusion and pain, as soon as he raised his hand, he unexpectedly made a ring of night wind. It was a small spell, without any attack power, but it was very beautiful, and it rolled forward mischievously in circles and circles. For a moment, he remembered that summer night when he was a child, when his father played the night wind ring to make him happy, and the heavens and the earth seemed to stop moving at this moment, and he felt that he was back in that time.

In the murderous battle, the Night Wind Ring did not fly far before dissipating, but Ruan's father was stunned, and a needle pierced his brain. He stepped in front of Ruan Zhan in one step, and saw that his face was covered with blood, sweat and blood mixed down, and a trace of love was strangely born in his heart, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

He looked at the person lying on the ground with a gloomy face, and was about to ask something, when he suddenly heard a tense sound in his ears, as if something had shattered, and at the same time, a crystal light appeared in front of him.

For a moment, just a moment, in a time shorter than a second, but longer than a lifetime, the past suddenly became clear, and a scene appeared in front of me—the little pink thing when I was first born; stubborn and guarded eyes at the age of five; rebellion at the age of ten, deliberately learning everything he taught wrong, trying to make him angry; anger at the age of seventeen; The indifference at the age of twenty and the disguise at the age of thirty, as well as the gentleness when looking at the little girl. All of this was remembered at the moment when the crystal knife was shattered, and it was strung together by the night wind ring, and the past and the love of father and son that filled his chest cleared out the last trace of evil that remained in his heart.

However, it was too late.

The Absolute Formation is fully operational, the crystal knife has been shattered, and together with the murderous aura in this array, the father and son will be strangled cleanly, and everything in this Absolute Formation will never stop!

If it weren't for Ruan Zhan crushing most of the evil qi on his body before; If it weren't for the absoluteness in this array, which stimulated the deepest memories of his soul; If it weren't for the night wind that throbbed his heart; If it weren't for the shattering sound of the crystal knife that shook away the last trace of evil, he wouldn't have been able to gain this trace of clarity when his soul was scattered, and now, he knew that he couldn't save anything, only the instinct of father and son made him want to save his son.

If he does something wrong, let him bear it! He would rather have his soul scattered ten thousand times than his son to be harmed!

In front of him, the fragments of the crystal knife flew towards him with a fierce momentum, and Ruan Tianyi desperately pounced on his son, not protecting his soul body at all, but concentrated half of all his strength on Ruan Zhan's body, and the other half hit the dead locust. It was the eye of the array and the door of death, there was no door of life in this array, he had long understood, but he was a father, and he wanted his son to survive in death!

He didn't know if it would work, but his father's instinct made him do it naturally!

"Sacrificial net!" Outside the battle, Uncle Bao did not miss this fleeting opportunity.

With a roar of rage, the spirit net entangled in all kinds of charms and magic weapons also collided with the Death Locust.

There was a thunderclap, and the entire mountain seemed to be split, and an indescribable pressure hit everyone present. The wind was raging, even the rocks were blown and rolled, the dust was all over the face, nothing could be seen clearly in the field, the whole mountain glade was chaotic, but the lunar eclipse was completely over at this moment, and the cold moonlight quietly shone on everything in this world.

After Bao Datong completed the task, he hurriedly rushed over, and when the dust settled down a little, the first thing he saw was Xiao Xia who had fainted on the ground. It may have been that the explosion was so loud that she moved on the ground, as if she was about to wake up.

In the distance, my father and Wan Li were lying motionless on the ground, and the two demons didn't know where they had been shaken; Over there, Ruan Zhan lay on the ground, dead; The dead locust tree had been blown so that it could not even find the sawdust, and only a desolate broken root proved that it once existed; Around the dead locust, the black beads scattered all over the ground looked like they were formed by the evil qi that had been divided, and they were still wriggling at the moment; In addition, there was a silver-white thing on the ground, like a mist and a line of water, lying quietly in the crack of the stone.

"Datong, come and help." Uncle Bao shouted.

Bao Datong answered, dropped the seven-colored sword and the broken flag, and hurriedly ran to his father's side.

"Don't let the evil spirit go out!" As soon as Uncle Bao stretched out his hand, the white waterline-like thing automatically fell into his hand, he held the waterline in one hand, pressed the other hand on his eyebrows, silently recited the mantra with the authentic Taoism, and then threw it in the air. I saw that the waterline-like thing flew in the air, as if it understood Uncle Bao's meaning, it flipped and flipped up, and when the black beads on the ground were shocked by the spell, it strung them up one by one, and finally condensed into a necklace-like thing, and flew back to Uncle Bao's hand.

Bao Datong thought it was amazing, but before he could ask, Uncle Bao ordered again: "Help Ah Zhan up, I want to see how he is." ”

Bao Datong did as he said, while Uncle Bao squatted down and looked at Ruan Zhan, who didn't know what to do, and sighed after a while: "His body is dead." Look, Providence tried desperately to protect him, but a fragment of a crystal knife pierced his heart. ”
