Chapter 33: The Spirit Fight (I)

Ruan Zhan walked down the tower step by step.

Outside the tower, the fog was already approaching the tower. The original gray mist had turned black at this time, drowning everything in it like ink, and emitting bursts of bloody gas, making those in it feel as if they were trapped in a boundless nightmare.

Ruan Zhan calmly opened the tower door, and immediately felt a bone-piercing cold wind coming straight in. It was not just cold, but also tingling with an indescribable tingling, like countless steel needles piercing his skin in the wind.

He did not panic, but as if he was dusting off his body, he casually brushed his hand on his chest, and immediately pulled something invisible out of his body. He silently recited a few incantations, coldly watching the transparent mist in his hand turn into a charred black hand, and at the same time he drew a finger of the Nine Dragons Transformation Bone Talisman with his other hand, causing the ghost hand to rot a big hole in the center of his palm, no matter how he struggled, he did not escape the fate of disappearing into invisibility like melting!

Ahh

There was a wail from the black mist, but Ruan Zhan was the most ruthless in the battle state, and he didn't pay attention to it at all, and the Void Talisman formed a protective barrier around him, and then raised his foot and stepped out of the tower gate.

There was not a trace of wind in the air, but the black mist rolled violently as if it was being blown by a strong wind, tightly wrapping around the outer side of Ruan Zhan's enchantment, constantly trying to rush in, making a 'bang, bang' sound. This brought Ruan Zhan a huge resistance, making it difficult for him to take every step like a boat against the current. He frowned, concentrated his strength on the palm of one hand, pushed forward, and walked forward with difficulty, as if pushing an invisible but extraordinarily heavy door, but after only a moment, sweat oozed from his face.

He knew that it would be detrimental to him to fight like this, because he knew very well that those resentful spirits were not only united, but also advanced and retreated in an orderly manner under the command of the resentful spirit attached to Xiao Xia's body, although they would not be able to set up a formation to kill themselves, but the fog and the aura contained in it proved that the resentful spirits were very united and desperate.

It was pitch black, and he couldn't see where he had gone, but by feeling, he felt that he had come to the middle of the corridor on the lake. This is not a safe distance, and there is a risk that the tower itself will be threatened in a fight. But despite this, it gave him room to expand outward.

So he stopped, held the barrier wall with one hand, and reached into his arms with the other.

As soon as he made his move, the black mist around him immediately contracted rapidly, retreating a little distance from the periphery of the barrier, and it was obvious that the resentful spirits were very taboo against him. This gave him a second to intermittent to prepare more fully, and then retracted the barrier in one fell swoop, while throwing the contents of his arms into the air in a pre-planned order and orientation.

In an instant, a red light flashed in mid-air, and dozens of charms stayed in mid-air, echoing each other, forming an invisible net above his head, although surrounded by black mist, the red light and rune power were a little weak, but it was enough to force the mist back to three meters away.

He drew those charms when the watcher was unprepared, and he didn't have any rune paper in his hand at that time, so he took the opportunity to tear up Mao Fu's white shirt and hastily draw it with his own blood, which is why he stayed in the dark room for so long after he defeated Mao Fu. Because of this, the mana of this spell was reduced, and it was only enough for him to support him for a while.

It's a must!

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved a palm thunder, hitting it in the direction of the center. Where the blue electric sparks flashed, with the sound of exclamation, the black mist flashed a crack, like a crack in the black curtain. But this was only a matter of a moment, and before Ruan Zhan could see clearly what was behind the black fog, the mist merged back into one.

Seeing this, Ruan Zhan didn't say a word, and continued to greet the palm thunder and fire handprint to the black mist. The direction of his swing is not certain, but a move will make a gap in the black mist, although the gap will be closed immediately, but he continues to fight like this, but it makes the mist scream again and again, obviously there are many resentful spirits injured under Ruan Zhan's palm, the thick black fog is gradually thinning, and in some places there are even some small hollows, like a whole piece of black cloth, because it has been stored for too long, it is eaten by insects, it is fragile, as long as it is pulled, it will break!

His continuous attacks had unknowingly forced the black fog to the edge of the lake, revealing the bricks on the square! He knew that it was a safe distance, and he could fight at will without worrying about destroying the tower of the soul suppressor, so he seized the opportunity and moved forward, his hands moving non-stop, while quickly approaching the lake.

As he walked, the spell on his head stretched as if consciously, and as the distance lengthened, the originally dense spell in mid-air became sparse, and the red light became fainter and weaker. Fortunately, the light was weak and not extinguished, the black fog was much thinner, and the space for light expanded a lot, making it less oppressive.

Ruan Zhan walked to the edge of the lake, stood firmly, stopped what he was doing, and secretly adjusted his breath.

It would be impossible for him to completely dispel the mist with the palm thunder and fire handprints, knowing that using this kind of spell would also consume his strength, and if he continued to use it, he would not be able to hold on to it in the first place. The reason why he forcibly did this was to push the battlefield farther away, and he could also create a space that was relatively uneroded by fog, which would be beneficial to his next move.

Although these resentful spirits are very afraid of his small spells, but at this time they are determined to fight with him, although they have no mana, but they have a sky-high resentment and crazy revenge resentment, plus a large number, one after another, one is injured by him, there are new resentful spirits to make up, as if endless, so it is not easy to deal with.

"Fight, why don't you fight? Running out of energy? A woman's sarcastic voice sounded behind the thick fog.

"You can try it." Ruan Zhan was bare-handed, but he made a strange decision with his left hand, and his right hand was on the vein of his left hand.

"Xinxin, fight with him!" An old voice shouted, looking extremely angry.

Only then did Ruan Zhan know that the female ghost who took Xiao Xia's body was called Xinxin.

"Third uncle, don't worry, he won't last long, what we have is energy and his consumption, after all, he is flesh and blood, what else can he do!" Xinxin laughed contemptuously, her voice shrivelling. She laughed, and the other wraiths laughed too. All of a sudden, the ghosts around were crying wolves and howling, and the wind was blowing.

Ruan Zhan knew that this was the resentful spirit named Xinxin who was exerting psychological pressure on him, but what kind of person was he, Ruan Zhan, he had dealt with a much more dangerous scene than this, how could he be affected by these little tricks!

He faced the black mist that came out of the voice, his deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the thick mist, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he actually smiled beautifully, but did not refute it soundly. But in the eyes of the resentful spirit, not only did he not feel that he was timid, but he was impressed by his confident and arrogant posture in an instant, and felt the strong pressure from him!

The two sides confronted each other like this for a while, and Xinxin felt that her momentum was about to weaken, and immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid of him, he's cheating!" He had only just recovered from his injuries, and he couldn't bounce for long. No matter what we do today, our blood feud must be avenged! And he hurt so many of us, and he even attacked with fire, and he couldn't let him go! ”

She was so agitated that she immediately stirred up the spirits again, and the ghosts and wolves howled in the square again.

"Killed so many people, forget it. Aren't these killings revenge? Ruan Zhan said calmly.

"Less cat crying mouse fake mercy!" Xinxin screamed, "If it weren't for that Yue Xiaoxia, would you have come to this town?" Does anyone know what we have all suffered, and who will redress our grievances? God doesn't have long eyes, let us sink into the sea, but let the wicked get away with it, and become a hero in the eyes of the townspeople, where is the heavenly reason? ”

"Yes, we will seek justice ourselves!" A man's voice called.

"Isn't that enough?" Ruan Zhan still didn't have any emotions, "The culprit or their descendants back then, only Reporter Ma is the only one who didn't die." ”

He tried to make the two sides less antagonistic, after all, these resentful spirits were only victims in the first place, and they had killed many people, but he did not mention Zode, who could not see anyone alive or dead.

"Stop, hatred will only keep your soul at peace." He said.

"Don't preach, it's not you who are wronged! Tell you, our revenge is not enough! Xinxin smiled darkly, "Everyone involved will die, including you and Yue Xiaoxia!" ”

"Why? She has nothing to do with it! ”

He was not afraid of death, and he knew that he would fight Sima Nan, but he wanted to rescue Xiao Xia. He believed that Wan Li must be waiting outside the city to cooperate with him at this time, and when the time came, he would hand over Xiao Xia to Wan Li, even if he died at the hands of Sima Nan, he would be at ease.

"Because of the people who helped us, let's exchange the bodies of you and Yue Xiaoxia for the masterminds of the year!" Xinxin said hatefully, "The mastermind must die!" Otherwise, we will never have peace! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, all kinds of angry screams rang out in the mist, repeating the words 'the mastermind must die'!

Ruan Zhan's heart was clear.

Sima Nan is really scheming! On the one hand, he cracked the feng shui array that suppressed the resentful spirits and tried to dissolve them, and sealed the empty city with an enchantment, cutting off the connection between the resentful spirits and the outside world, locking their pathways and leaving them to rely on him; On the other hand, by controlling Feng Yongzi and Mao Fu, he brought the participants of the year, or their descendants, to this new town, but specially left the mastermind, Mayor Yuan, so that he could use this most damned person to force the resentful spirits to serve him!

Sima Nan wanted to kill him, but he didn't want to do it himself, so he used these resentful spirits who were desperate and just wanted revenge. Sima Nan used Mayor Yuan as the sweetest bait, so that the resentful spirits would rather sacrifice everything than exchange his death for the mastermind! Even if it doesn't work out in the end, if he wins, he will be exhausted and even seriously injured, and then Sima Nan will easily defeat him, humiliate him, and get rid of him!

In addition, he felt that Sima Nan must have other tricks. For example, the problem of dealing with Xiao Xia.

If Sima Nan only wanted Xiao Xia's corpse, then the resentful spirit would have killed Xiao Xia a hundred times, so there was no need to occupy her body first, and then pour her soul into the little porcelain doll. And if he really targets Xiao Xia, he can do it himself. But he doesn't, because he understands very well that Xiao Xia has a lot of use value.

Xinxin must not have told the truth completely, Sima Nan must have asked the resentful spirit to kill him, but he wanted Xiao Xia to live. Because he was guarding against the worst outcome, that is, he not only won the wraith, but also retained the ability to fight Sima Nan. In that case, Sima Nan will use Xiao Xia as a bargaining chip to contain him and use Xiao Xia to make him submit!

Also, Sima Nan didn't just want him to die, a person with spiritual power like him, death doesn't mean anything, Sima Nan completely eliminated him and made him disappear, as if he had never appeared in this world!

This is in line with Sima Nan's consistent style - make foolproof preparations, use all available people, and drive out the opponent to extermination!

Ruan Zhan thought about this, but there was a hint of joy in his heart, because it meant that Xiao Xia's physical body would be safe for the time being. However, he still decided to act according to his plan in advance, and no one knew whether Xinxin would take risks in order to protect himself in the end!

"Let's make a deal, I'll give Mayor Yuan to you, and you let Yue Xiaoxia go!" Ruan Zhan proposed.

Xinxin didn't expect him to say this, and was stunned for a moment, but the third uncle suddenly shouted, "Don't be gullible, don't talk nonsense with him, kill him!" ”

This third uncle seemed to be a very authoritative person before his death, and he was particularly mobilized when he spoke, so as soon as he said this, the surrounding environment immediately underwent a huge change, and the black fog was only rolling slightly, but now it immediately surged, like a black wave, with the momentum of wanting to swallow Ruan Zhan alive!

Ahh

Xinxin screamed in a strange tone, only to see that the thin black mist around Ruan Zhan quickly converged to the middle, and gradually, the mist was no longer all over the sky, but exposed the gray sky and the square brick ground under his feet, but in mid-air, a black wall about three or four meters high surrounded Ruan Zhan, as if a fog rope trapped him firmly in it!

The two sides confronted each other again, but this time the atmosphere was extremely tense, and it was almost a touch-and-go trend. Because this fog rope concentrates the power of all the resentful spirits, it is extremely gloomy, dark and heavy, condescendingly covering Ruan Zhan's body, lining Ruan Zhan like a flat boat in the angry sea, as if it will be swallowed up at any time!

Ruan Zhan stood still proudly, shook his head regretfully, and looked at the two figures under the fog rope, feeling a little involuntarily. One of those two figures is 'Xiao Xia', and the other is 'Zhao Jiayuan', obviously all the grievances formed by the resentful spirits are controlled by the two of them, which proves that they are the most resentful among the resentful spirits, as long as they are defeated, the war can be stopped.

"What are you going to do now?" 'Zhao Jiayuan' smiled excitedly, but because the spirit and flesh did not match, his voice and demeanor could not express emotions at the same time, and the smile on his face was very distorted, weird, and even more weird and gloomy.

"Haven't you heard a word?" Ruan Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Capture the thief and capture the king first!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly strode over to the two 'men', his eyes fixed on them, not for a moment. The ruthlessness and coldness on his body frightened 'Zhao Jiayuan', and he didn't resist for a while, he took a step back and hid behind Xinxin.

And Xinxin didn't think that Ruan Zhan would move when she said it, but she was obviously calmer and more resentful than 'Zhao Jiayuan', so she was stunned for a second, then waved her hands forward and shouted, "Kill him!" ”

Like a beast about to move, the fog rope is waiting to devour its prey, so when the 'beast tamer' Xinxin gives an order, he immediately swoops down frantically with the momentum of thunder!
