Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Peak and the Loop (Part II)
Because he wanted to help Xiao Xia block the pursuit of the two stone men, Ruan Zhan had no choice but to pour the bloody wooden sword to his left hand and point at them, and when he poured the sword back to his right hand and faced Yang Muyou again, Yang Muyou had already stood up like a marionette.
"Your Bloodwood Sword is useless to me, it can only deal with soul bodies, but not substance things!" Yang Muyou said.
"Really?" Ruan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you leave immediately, why don't you dare to let your dog bite me?" ”
"You-do you really think your handprint is sticking me to this skin?"
"Your mana is profound, I don't expect that." Ruan Zhan didn't hesitate at all, "But I don't want to hurt your skin, I just need to hurt your soul root." If you're okay and you're not afraid of the Bloodwood Sword, why don't your souls come out of it and immediately abandon this skin? ”
"I'm waiting, aren't you waiting?"
"You're waiting to escape, I'm waiting to kill you, it's different."
"What's the difference? I don't look at temporary success or failure, but you must know that you have set up a lifelong enemy, a very strong enemy! ”
"I'm afraid of you, so I won't come!" Ruan Zhan was not afraid and did not give up an inch of land.
Yang Muyou smiled sinisterly, "Then before we start, I'll analyze the situation for you." That's right, you injured my soul root, so that my super strength is now inferior to yours. But there are four people here, and you're a pair of three. If you hurt me with your magic weapon, the Bloodwood Sword, those two people will take advantage of the opportunity to attack you. Although they are possessed by ghosts, they have the constitution of stones, and they are powerful and difficult to destroy. Well, even if you are also a soul attached to the stone man, then what are your chances of winning against two? ”
"I'm just betting that you're selfish, that you're in a hurry to leave your body, and that you want to find a dark place to heal your soul roots. Because you know that the longer you are injured, the more damage it will take to your mana, so I just have to stare you to death. ”
"Then you see, I can't hide in this skin, how about letting those two brothers attack you first? I'll heal your wounds when I'm done, though the damage will be too great to be better than wasting it here. ”
"If you could, you would have done it a long time ago. Since you know the Bloodwood Sword, you should know that if the person who uses the sword reaches a certain level of mana, it is harder than steel and can pierce anything, including flesh and even stone! ”
"Are you confident that you have that skill?"
Ruan Zhan tugged at the corners of his mouth, his expression was contemptuous and strong, "To be honest, I don't know." Let's take a gamble, how about it, do you dare? ”
Having an important person in your heart is a weakness, but it is also a great advantage, because it allows you to protect her at all costs, and increase your courage and strength. Yang Muyou is different, he only has himself in his heart, he only cherishes himself, although he seems to have no weaknesses, but it also makes him timid and does not dare to give it a go, so as to give Ruan Zhan, who is lagging behind, a chance.
"Okay, then we'll wait. You're determined to wear down my strength, and you won't let go until I'm at my weakest, but do you think I'm going to sit still? Do you think that ordinary man can stop my man from destroying your body? Isn't the loss of your body the same as death? Is it attached to this stone for the rest of your life? Can Yue Xiaoxia be safe when he enters this netherworld? This is my territory! Although my soul root is wounded, you are not having a good time. Well, think about it, let's stop in two hands. As long as you promise, I promise you three to leave safely. ”
"So you can heal your wounds, recover your damaged skills, and then find another opportunity to kill us?" Ruan Zhan said coldly.
He knew in his heart that if he didn't destroy this necromancer this time, they would be restless day and night in the future, at least until his soul root was damaged to a certain extent, and they would have a chance to breathe.
"They are all cultivators, why don't you recognize me?"
"No need to talk nonsense, this is a big gamble, everyone is a pawn, you and I are the same." Ruan Zhan was actually very worried about Xiao Xia and Wan Li, but on the surface he was still calm, "We check and balance each other here, and no one can move, but I alone suppressed the most troublesome chess and two powerful lackeys, which side do you say has the advantage?" If we really lose to you, we only have our own destiny. ”
"Do you bear to see your delicate beauty fragrant and jade incense?"
"She's going to be fine." Ruan Zhan hesitated for a moment and said slowly.
He had to throw her aside to face all kinds of dangers and frightening situations alone, although he was so distressed, but if he didn't do this, when Yang Muyou recovered his mana and his ability could not be released, she would die even more miserably!
"Can't you reconcile?"
"Absolutely not!"
Yang Muyou was finally speechless, because this rhetoric showed all his weaknesses.
His face was pale, and his body swayed like a wooden stick forked on the ground, but he didn't dare to move a little under the threat of the Bloodwood Sword, that is, he didn't dare to leave his body to be chased and killed by the Bloodwood Sword, and he didn't dare to control his body to leave, because he didn't dare to bet on Ruan Zhan's skills, for fear that if he could turn the Bloodwood Sword into a sharp weapon, pierce his shell and hurt his soul.
And so they confronted each other. Yang Muyou was thinking about how to get out in order to take revenge in the future, while under Ruan Zhan's calm appearance, he was worried about the safety of the other two.
&&&&&&
Xiao Xia didn't know what Ruan Zhan asked her to run out for, she just followed his orders. She knew that she had no mana, and her yang energy was weak, and if she stayed there, it would only cause him trouble.
She stood in the sea of flowers and thought for a while, thinking that Ruan Zhan must have wanted her to meet Wanli, but where was Wanli? The situation was so chaotic that she couldn't communicate with him, and she was worried about his own safety.
His soul won't be captured and refined, right? But at least he must keep his body so that he can have hope. Thinking like this, she tried to look for Wanli, but found that the scenery in front of her had changed.
It turned out to be a sea of flowers, but at this time it was a large clearing in a dense forest, and Xiao Xia was standing in the middle of the clearing, and in the direction of the black stone house was a small hill behind her, surrounded by strange-shaped stones.
Unconsciously, it was late at night, and the white moonlight shone down, which set off the weirdness and gloom of the surrounding atmosphere. Xiao Xia glanced at the dense forest, and found that most of the trees here were long-toothed and clawed, and they looked ghostly in the moonlight, and there were still a few flashes of green light.
It's just phosphorus fire! Natsu comforted herself.
She didn't know where Wan Li should be, but she thought that since the body of Ruan Zhan he was protecting should be in a hidden place, she mustered up the courage to walk to the most densely populated place on the left.
The bare feet tingled, and she knew it was crushed sand and grass roots; There was a cold tingling on the surface of her feet, which she knew were unknown insects; She also knew that entering such a primitive and remote dense forest might have more snakes, insects, rats, ants and even fierce beasts waiting for her, she was terribly afraid, but she had to do it hard, because she believed that Ruan Zhan and Wan Li would definitely need help.
A cold wind blew, the surrounding trees and weeds were rustled, and there was a whimpering birdsong in the forest, which made Xiao Xia even more frightened. She paused for a moment, continued to walk forward, and suddenly suffocated under her feet, tripped over something and fell to the ground, and looked down to see that it was a wild vine.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but the wild vine suddenly slowly changed into a pale hand, groping around her ankles.
She screamed in fright, and her voice was particularly poignant in the clearing, but she couldn't care about it, so she just grabbed it casually, and when she caught a sharp stone, she smashed it down without thinking about it.
She smashed it very hard, and the texture of the strange hand was like dead wood, so she nailed it to the ground with a sharp stone. The strange hand struggled, squeaking like a mouse, and Natsu stood up and ran, running until the edge of the dense forest to hear the strange hand's cry and make sure it wasn't chasing it.
But nevertheless, she found that she had gone in the wrong direction, and in order to escape she ran all the way to the opposite side of the hill, but she had to go to the left. She hesitated for a moment, deciding that in order to avoid the strange hand, she had to go into the woods from here first, and then circle back to the left, just in time to check that Wanli was not in this direction.
The dead leaves in the woods were thicker than those in the clearing, rustling on them, as if something was following her. She didn't dare to look back, but there was nothing but her own shadow and the mottled shadows of the trees in the moonlight.
This reassured her a little, but after a few steps, something grabbed her sleeve.
She froze for a moment, forcing herself to look back, only to realize that the branch had hung on her, and quickly pulled the branch away. The woods made her nervous, and she wanted to find Wanli as soon as possible, so she quickened her pace. But there were always branches hanging on her, and she impatiently pulled the branches away again and again, seeing that the trees in front of her were gradually thinning, as if they were about to get out of the woods and go up the mountain road, and there was no trace of thousands of miles, so it was certain that he was not in this direction. At this time, she was hung up again.
She frustrated it back, and the branch bounced off, but almost at the same time it was on her arm, and she wiped it again, only to feel the touch of the branch cold and smooth, not the warmth and roughness of wood.
She habitually looked at the shadows on the ground, and she was alone.
"Ghosts have no shadow." A voice came from behind her.
Subconsciously, she squatted on the ground with her head in her hands, so she happened to see a pair of feet slowly moving in front of her. Embroidered shoes, but white, with a hole in the toe and a phalange sticking out, protruding there.
Feet, no touching the ground!
She held the amulet on her chest and didn't look up, but the foot in front of her took a step back, and slowly, a head drooped down, and it bent down to look at her.
Long black hair, skulls, and a flash of phosphorescence in the holes of the eyes.
"I'm a ghost, no shadow!" She grinned.
