Chapter 6 The Lost City Chapter 35 Spirit Fighting (II)
Chapter 35: Spirit Fighting (Part II)
Ahh
A small black shadow pulled out from the top of Zhao Jiayuan's head, and his body immediately fell to the ground, limp like a molten snakeskin. And Xinxin also did not escape, and was caught by Ruan Zhan and all the souls in his hands!
"Let go of me!" Shin Shin shouted.
"Yes, but I'm going to teach you a lesson." Ruan Zhan forced himself to harden his heart, bit the middle finger of his right hand, drew a curved charm on the center of Xiao Xia's eyebrows, and at the same time held down her left hand and let go, and hit 'Xiao Xia' in the face fiercely.
With the crisp slap sound, a shadow also appeared above Xiao Xia's head, and then her body also went limp, but Ruan Zhan's eyes were quick and he stopped her and hugged her at the moment when she was about to fall to the ground.
Looking at the shadow again, it seemed to be pushed out by a great external force, and after breaking away from Xiao Xia's body, a thin line of powder was dragging behind him, as if blood was flowing out after being injured. She stumbled forward a few meters until she hit a flower pond and then disappeared. And the moment she disappeared, the blood charm in Xiao Xia's eyebrows was gone.
"It's a bit of a way." Ruan Zhan watched Xinxin's shadow run away and muttered softly.
Xinxin's shadow is very complete, not like other souls with all kinds of mutilations, and the shadow is not black, to the point that it is as red as a piece of red-hot charcoal, which proves that she has cultivated herself, and her resentment is naturally the deepest among these resentful spirits, so even if she is injured by him, she can quickly hide.
And Ruan Zhan didn't let her get out of Xiao Xia's body freely, he had to be shocked out, just to get her hurt. It's not that he's cruel, it's that he wants to safely send Natsu's body back to the tower, and he can't put a time bomb behind him. Without this Xinxin, those resentful spirits are nothing more than a plate of loose sand, which is in their best interest.
He didn't look at the remnants of the souls crawling all over the ground, bent down and gently hugged Xiao Xia in his arms, and slowly walked towards the tower.
In this way, the first step of his planned action was completed - to dissolve the black mist formed by his resentment, no longer have to fight in the besieged environment, and to take back Xiao Xia's body.
He knelt on one knee and slowly laid Natsu's body flat on the ground, gently stroking her face. Her delicate face was already red and swollen, and a palm print was clearly placed there, which he had just hit when he shook Xinxin, when he had no choice, but at this moment he was full of regret.
How long has it been since he's seen her? He couldn't tell. When he was at home, Xiao Xia always found an opportunity to go to his bar, and they would meet every once in a while. Later, she was sent to do legal popularization propaganda work, and he was secretly worried that this was Sima Nan's conspiracy, so he kept following her secretly, so that he could see her often. Later, in this empty city, the feelings he had been trying to hide burst out irresistibly, and she was still by his side.
It's just that his eyes couldn't see at that time, so he shouldn't have seen her, right?
Her face was as cold as ice, but it was still smooth and soft to the touch, and his hand lingered, and he rubbed it again and againβher full forehead, thin willow eyebrows, closed charming eyes, slightly upturned nose, and plump red lips of moderate size.
His thumb rested on her lips. It was two kisses he had kissed, and each time he was mesmerized. When did you love her so much? He once thought he wouldn't fall in love with anyone, but how did he fall into it without warning?
At this moment, the red lips were too attractive to him, tempting him to lean down slowly and kiss gently, and she did not react like a stone sculpture, making him realize that her soul had not yet returned to its place.
He forced himself to stand up, telling himself that now was not the time for children to grow up, that there were still many difficult things to do, many problems to be solved, and many battles to be faced.
He adjusted his mind, and then reached into his arms to get Xiao Xia's porcelain statue, but when he touched it, he found that his pocket was empty! Touch the pockets on both sides again, Reporter Ma and Ah Bai are still there! Only the porcelain doll possessed by Xiao Xia is gone!
Ruan Zhan's hand kept pressing on the pocket of his chest, his face expressionless, as if thinking about something. He stood like that for a while, then suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall on the first floor, stood in front of the bronze bell with a total of nine large, eight small, and quickly weighed it, selected the small bronze bell closest to the wall, lifted it hard, and then turned back and hugged Xiao Xia over, quickly and carefully placed her soft body cross-legged, kissed her lightly, and then put the porcelain statues of Ah Bai and Ma Reporter beside her.
"Ah Bai, please look at her." He said to Ah Bai sincerely.
Originally, for fear of injuring these porcelain statues in battle, he sealed all their senses and soul energy, but he understood that Ah Bai was so famous in the past, even if his skill decayed to almost zero at present, he still had spiritual power compared to ordinary people, and he would definitely be able to protect himself and protect Xiao Xia.
Ah Bai's porcelain statue shook twice.
"I can't remove the seal." Ruan Zhan understood what Ah Bai meant, "The bronze bell here is not an ordinary thing, it has a strong aura, and all the souls dare not approach it, so staying here can protect you, if the seal is lifted, you can't hide inside." β
After he finished speaking, he took a deep look at Xiao Xia again, and then used the bronze bell to cover her in it.
With all that done, he leaned against the wall and adjusted his breathing. This bronze bell is very heavy, although he has a lot of strength, but he has to be careful to handle it gently, don't hurt Xiao Xia and don't let the sound of moving be heard outside, he is still tired enough.
However, at this time, there was a shrill cry from outside the tower, "The surname Ruan, get out of here!" β
Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, he only raised his hand and hit three palm thunders in a row.
'Bang Bang' three violent sounds, and the three palm thunders melted into a large blue spark, breaking out directly! But the strange thing is that this super-large palm thunder did not go in a straight line, but suddenly made a sharp turn at the position out of the center of the lake and rushed into the air!
The square outside the tower was already full, or floating, of strange human figures, except for a red one with a complete shape, the rest were all burnt black, and incomplete, some had no head, some had no hands, some had no feet, and some simply did not have a whole half of the body or had a large hole in the center of the body! From a distance, it looked like a pile of burned dry wood, with only a piece of unextinguished coals at the forefront.
When the palm thunder struck, the 'people' in the square were startled, and the horror of this kind of positive yang thing made them instinctively exclaim, and instantly disappeared from the ground and did not dare to come out. Only the red shadow standing at the front did not dodge, and witnessed the strange turn of the palm thunder and rushed into the air.
"Sister Xinxin, the strength of the surname Ruan is almost exhausted." A relatively intact humanoid figure with only one hand missing came out of the ground and approached the red shadow excitedly, "His electric sparks can't be straightened." "Listening to the voice, it is the resentful spirit that occupies Zhao Jiayuan's body, called Dongzi.
Xinxin didn't speak, because she didn't have a face or facial features, and she couldn't see the look on her face clearly, but she said in a somewhat suspicious tone, "I hope he doesn't have any conspiracy." β
Dong Zise shrank for a moment, obviously quite jealous of Ruan Zhan, "Probably not, right?" Could he be looking for help? β
Xinxin gritted her teeth and said, "Whether he has a helper or not, anyway, Xinzhen is sealed off, and no one can enter or leave." Now we are fish in a fish tank, either eating him or being eaten by him. If even he can't be cured, we don't have to think about revenge! Have we been wronged in vain? β
She said this very loudly, so that every resentful spirit below the ground in the square could hear it clearly, and understood that the situation in front of her was the same as what she said, either you die or I live, and there is no way out at all!
"Be sure to take revenge! For so many years, isn't it just for revenge that we have endured the suffering of being suppressed and persevered until now? Why do we want to die in vain while the murderer gets away with it? Now that the wish is about to be fully realized, how can you back down at this time! It's not fair, I have to ask for justice, even if it is wiped out! Xinxin continued to say fiercely.
If her words just now made the other resentful spirits understand the situation, her current words inspired their resentment and ruthlessness, and they once again made up their minds to fight Ruan Zhan to the death! So, they all rushed out from under the ground and regrouped around Shin Shin.
Shin Shin glanced at her companion in the square and slowly reached out to grab the flower pond beside her. Among the flowers, a small porcelain doll immediately flew out and fell into Xinxin's palm, which was Xiao Xia's porcelain statue.
"The surname Ruan, if you don't come out again, I will break this porcelain doll and make your sweetheart die thoroughly! I'll count three, one, twoβ"
Before her 'three' word could be spoken, the tower door that had been shattered by the thunder in her palm fell outward with a bang. Then, Ruan Zhan walked out of the tower.
He walked unhurriedly, with no expression on his face or any movement in his hands, but his whole person looked as cold and sharp as an ice blade, as if the king who held the power of life and death faced a weak rebel army.
"I'm here, what advice?" He stood by the lake and asked coldly.
Xinxin didn't want to be overwhelmed by his momentum, and raised the porcelain statue in her hand, "Do you want her life, or yours?" β
"It's not up to you." Ruan Zhan didn't think about it, his dark eyes as black as a pool of water stared at Xinxin for a moment, "I said, you can't bear the consequences of hurting her, it seems that you don't believe it." β
Hahahaha-
Xinxin burst out with a wild laugh, and the other resentful spirits also laughed together, "Don't blow nonsense, her soul is in my hands, why do you say that?" Do you think that Yue Xiaoxia, who helped us, will be alive, and I won't dare to kill her? At the moment of life and death, who cares about the promise, just care about the present. So, do you think it's up to me? β
Ruan Zhan shook his head, "Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, this sentence is not wrong at all. If I had done it hard, you would have gone back to hell by now, and would you still be entitled to threaten me here? Although his face was still expressionless, there was a hint of anger, a hint of contempt, and a hint of pity in his tone, "I will advise you one more word - turn back to the shore." If you stop now, I promise to find a way to bring the culprits to justice, and you all give yourself a chance to be born again. There is nothing in this world that can be buried in the ground forever, and the same is true of your wrongs, but if you have to force me, I can't stand still. β
Xinxin sneered, and suddenly made a gesture of throwing the porcelain statue in her hand to the ground, Ruan Zhan involuntarily took a step forward, and subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but then found out that he had been fooled.
"That's right. Your mana is very high, but it's a pity that you have a treasure in my hands, am I afraid that I won't be able to beat you? Xinxin shook the porcelain doll in her hand, "How about this trick?" β
"Very despicable!"
"Am I despicable? There are even more despicable ones! β
"What do you want? Let's get straight ahead! Ruan Zhan said coldly, looking a little impatient.
Shin Shin was very annoyed by Ruan Zhan's tough attitude, but she was helpless. This man is too strong, even stronger than the person who helped them, not the power of the law, but the tough, resolute temperament in him that is tough and cold, and nothing can overwhelm him. She now understands why that person wants Ruan Zhan to die, no matter what kind of trouble there is between them, as long as Ruan Zhan lives, that person will definitely not get peace.
She has been falling behind, and she can't turn over at all, and now she has decided to break the kettle and use this magic weapon thoroughly! She wants revenge, and everyone who hurts her and hurts the villagers will die! What's more, she's crazy with jealousy now. Ruan Zhan and Yue Xiaoxia love each other so much, they can give up their lives for each other! But what about her, she can also sacrifice for her sweetheart, but her sweetheart really sacrificed her, without hesitation.
Why is it that Yue Xiaoxia can get what she didn't get with all her life? This is also an unfairness, so she wants to make Yue Xiaoxia unlucky!
"Ask again, do you want her life, or yours."
"If you have to askβher!" Ruan Zhan immediately replied, as if this was a matter of course.
This aroused Xinxin's hatred even more, and with a wave of her hand, all the remnants of the souls behind her approached her, as if they were connected by an invisible rope.
"I want you not to move, take me first." Xinxin said softly, with a threat in her tone, "If you dare to fight back or defend or dodge, I will immediately drop this dead girl and take her to hell with me." If you can catch my move, I'll give her back to you. β
"Didn't you say that in a matter of life and death, you won't keep your promises?"
"You don't have a choice." Xinxin viciously, "Also, stop threatening us, that's very stupid, for us who give up everything, death is dead, will we be afraid of dying again?" β
"I never threaten anyone, that's the truth, believe it or not!"
"Don't talk nonsense, do you agree?"
"Then hurry up. It's early. Ruan Zhan put his hand in his trouser pocket, with an attitude of not taking the other party to heart at all.
Xinxin was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she just reached out and grabbed the ground like a ruthless one, and immediately a cloud of black qi gathered in her hand, which quickly turned into a sharp weapon, more than a foot long.
She was still holding Xiao Xia's porcelain statue in one hand, and the sword in the other, and glanced up at Ruan Zhan, seeing that Ruan Zhan was not moving, looking at her indifferently.
For a moment, she was suddenly a little unsure, but she knew that she couldn't hesitate at this time, so she turned her heart sideways, like a bidding gun, and threw the sharp weapon at Ruan Zhan with all her might.
The black sharp weapon shot away with a sharp sound of breaking the sky, and even the resentful spirits sweated for Ruan Zhan, but Ruan Zhan really stood peacefully, as if all this had nothing to do with him, making Xinxin think for a moment that Ruan Zhan would have some conspiracy or protection.
However, in the blink of an eye, only a 'poof' sound was heard, and the sharp weapon pierced into his right shoulder without any hindrance, Ruan Zhan did not resist at all, and let the sharp weapon pass through his shoulder, and then turned into a stream of black gas wrapped around his shoulder.
Blood instantly stained half of Ruan Zhan's clothes, and he shook it, his face was snow-white, but he didn't move his steps. He just stretched out his left hand and grabbed his right wrist and took it out of his trouser pocket, apparently his entire right arm could not move.
"What other conditions, let's open it together." His tone remained calm.
Xinxin was stunned, she didn't expect his personality to be so strong that he didn't take the loss of an arm seriously at all. The reason why she didn't directly hit him was because she was afraid that although he promised well, he would protect or fight back when his life was threatened. That is the survival instinct and selfish instinct of people, and it is also what she should be most wary of.
She was actually afraid in her heart, because Ruan Zhan had a strong mana. She was afraid that the natural force of his counterattack would hurt their side, so she hit him in the right arm. She wanted to test that if he dodged, she could continue to threaten him with the porcelain statue in her hand; If he hadn't dodged, and she had wasted one of his hands, making him unable to draw talismans, their odds would have been much greater. Now seeing that Ruan Zhan really didn't dodge, I regret a little why he was so timid and didn't kill him directly!
But even then, she had other ways to kill him!
"You can do it! I've got you! Xinxin smiled sinisterly, "If you keep your promise, I will return the porcelain statue of this woman to you!" β
Before she could finish speaking, she stretched her arms behind her head, and then threw the porcelain statue in her hand with all her might. Only this time, the direction she lost was not Ruan Zhan's side, but the direction of the lake, and then she screamed loudly.
With her shouting, the spirits were trained to gather around her until they were all huddled together, gathering all their resentment on her!
That's what she planned! She couldn't beat Ruan Zhan, even if they were all united, even if she had the magic weapon of Xiao Xia's porcelain statue in her hand, so she had to use a trick - first hurt one of his arms, and then throw the porcelain statue to the surface of the lake. In this way, if Ruan Zhan wants to save Xiao Xia's life, he must fly above the lake. At this time, she used their remaining strength to give him a fatal blow!
The other person is in mid-air, one hand can't be used, and the other hand wants to catch the porcelain statue of his sweetheart, and he has no strength to fight back. Even if this blow hits him and doesn't die, or if he chooses to save his life and defend against their attack at the moment of life and death, he will definitely fall into the lake. After all, he is a human and cannot fly, and it is good that the only left left hand can protect himself, and it is impossible to reach the opposite side of the lake.
He may be able to swim, but he can't escape the resentful spirits in the lake that will devour everything! That's the one who helped them and put it in the lake, let alone a human, even the soul body will be swallowed up if it falls into the lake!
That's a death trap!
Thinking like this, she saw that Ruan Zhan was as expected, flying towards the center of the lake, stretching out her left hand, desperately trying to take Xiao Xia's porcelain statue into her hand, not caring about the situation on this side of the square and under the lake, the door was wide open!
"Die!" She screamed wildly, turning the powerful power she had gathered into a straight puff of black smoke and slamming it into Ruan Zhan's chest!
With a 'bang', the black smoke hit Ruan Zhan's chest, causing his body to fly far forward in the air, and then fell heavily into the water!
In the air, there was a thin rain of blood; In the water, the waves surge; In Ruan Zhan's hand, he held the porcelain statue of Xiao Xia tightly!
