Chapter 5 Secrets Chapter 54 The Quartet
Chapter 54: The Quartet
With a 'bang', the mud and sand fell above his head.
Ruan Zhan, Wan Li, and Xiao Xia instinctively took a step back and raised their heads.
I saw a hole the size of a bowl broken in the roof of the building, and a vine hung down, grabbing Guan Zheng's back like a strange long arm, and lifting him up from the ground.
"Only you will be prepared?" He looked at Ruan Zhan condescendingly, "Your spell is still far away!" ”
"Don't panic, stand in your seat." Ruan Zhan ignored Guan Zheng's arrogant shouting and calmly commanded.
Hearing his voice, Xiao Xia calmed down from her panic and firmly retreated back into the corner where she was supposed to be guarding.
The moment she felt dizzy just now, she knew in her heart that Ruan Zhan had already cast a spell. Although the three of them were standing in front of the altar at the beginning of the wedding, the moment Guan Zheng arrived, they were transferred to a pre-designed position by Ruan Zhan using an improved space-time warping technique, and instead of appearing in front of the altar, it was a plant that had been spelled by Ruan Zhan beforehand.
From this incident, it can be seen that Ruan Zhan is indeed a genius in Taoism, and every time there is an emergency, he can not only come up with a good plan, but also strengthen his potential again, and integrate what his father taught him with his own comprehension.
Controlling plants and animals is witchcraft, Ruan Zhan is not good at it, but he made up for it with spells, and combined with the illusion that he is very good at, he created a false image, and then used Guan Zheng's mentality to deceive Guan Zheng for a while, making him suffer a little loss as soon as he came up.
"Still, our acting skills are not bad." Wan Li said disapprehantly, "Although we are dubbing on one side, you are still fooled!" ”
Guan Zheng snorted coldly and began to chant the incantation again, but in more than ten seconds, there was a 'popping' sound on the roof of the bamboo building, and I saw that the vines that bound Guan Zheng broke inch by inch and fell straight to the ground, and Guan Zheng quickly got rid of the restraints.
He angrily grasped the hanging branch of the roof with one hand, and with a wave of the other, he saw another strange red vine burst out of his cuff and rolled directly towards Xiao Xia.
Xiao Xia didn't move - Ruan Zhan said: As long as she guards her position, everything has him!
Seeing that as soon as the red vine wrapped around Xiao Xia's waist, a black lacquer sword suddenly pierced through obliquely, and with the sound of 'swish' breaking through the air, the vine was simply cut off at the waist, and the person who came was Ruan Zhan who was holding the bloodwood sword.
The red vine seemed to have life, it writhed painfully after being cut off, the upper section rolled up like a snake, the broken part was raised towards Ruan Zhan, and the lower section fell from Xiao Xia's waist to the ground, and quickly withered after twisting twice.
"Insect carving skills." Ruan Zhan chuckled lightly and retreated to his place.
"Really?" Guan Zheng was not convinced, "I will take her away today, can you stop me?" ”
"Don't talk big, crush the cold. You run away by yourself first, no matter what, my wife can't let it go to you. Wanli stimulated him again.
"She's not yours, never will be yours, and it's easy for me to leave." Guan Zheng was extremely arrogant, "I leave from this rooftop, what can you do to me?" ”
"You can try." Ruan Zhan was still cold.
"I don't have to try, you're not qualified. Do you think I have taken your way? It's just to play with you. ”
"Play until you hang on the roof and hang the sausage?" Wanli smiled, "You really know how to play." ”
Guan Zheng was furious, and reached into his arms to take the Gu worm out. But before his hand could make the next move, Ruan Zhan had already drawn a swirl-shaped talisman on his chest with his right hand, flicked it in the direction of Guan Zheng, and then pointed to the ground.
Guan Zheng only felt a sudden strong force pull him down, and lowered his head, but there was nothing, but he just felt that his feet were as heavy as falling lead. Moreover, the pull grew stronger and stronger, and gradually a super suction force formed under his body, as if there was an invisible vortex on the ground that wanted to swallow him, forcing him to hold on to the branch with both hands so that he would not fall himself.
He screamed, and recited a non-Chinese incantation, only to see the red vine in his cuff dance out strangely, and he wanted to attack the three people below, but as soon as he fell two meters from the ground, he was sucked into the middle by the invisible force, and he couldn't reach the person who wanted to attack several times.
At this time, Guan Zheng's hands seemed to be unable to guarantee that his body would not fall, and he hurriedly whistled sharply, and the red vines suddenly rolled back, penetrating the roof like Guan Zheng's third hand, and temporarily hung him there steadily.
Xiao Xia, who had been watching without speaking, saw this scene and had goosebumps all over her body. Although Guan Zheng learned the art of witchcraft, these things were used in his hands, giving people a feeling of being extremely evil and strange. I don't know how that kind and gentle Abai Yaban could have such an apprentice.
But although she didn't understand, she knew that today was a life-and-death battle. Now Ruan Zhan's potential has not been fully tapped, so he is at a disadvantage in terms of absolute strength. Fortunately, he has a detailed arrangement, and I hope this can make up for the lack of strength.
But Guan Zheng is not an idiot, of course he is also prepared, now the situation is so deadlocked, and the outcome is unpredictable!
Seeing that Guan Zheng had temporarily gotten rid of a little disadvantage, Ruan Zhan decided to increase the strength of the spell, and immediately drew the same vortex-shaped spell with his left hand, pointing at the ground.
Guan Zheng now has the advantage of high altitude, and must not let him free his hands to perform his witchcraft, he must press him tightly, otherwise they will be in a passive position.
Now that he had made up his mind, the whirlpool of mana naturally increased exponentially, and he heard only the 'crackling' sound in the room, and the suction on the ground sucked off the loose pieces of bamboo and building materials on the roof because of the holes, like a chaotic rain of mud and sand. But before these debris fell to the ground, they were thrown to other places by the centrifugal force of the invisible vortex, and for a while the sound of 'ping-pong' in the room was chaotic.
Guan Zhengdeng felt nervous again, because his shoes were rolled up and fell to the ground, his hair and clothes were blown and danced, and he had to exert all his strength to keep his body balanced.
"Come down, or you'll be like a sausage stripped of your casing in a moment." Wan Li said jokingly, "There is a young lady down here, who is almost seventy years old, and if she is naked, it is too undignified!" ”
Because he knew the intimacy between Wanli and Xiao Xia, every word of Wanli was extremely unbearable for Guan Zheng, especially Wanli was so sarcastic about him, which made him angry all of a sudden, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he fell down, and because the whirlpool force was too great, he fell heavily to the ground, making a 'bang'.
Ruan Zhan saw that Guan Zheng had fallen to the ground, which had reversed his air superiority, and the situation was back under his control and the track of calculation, and immediately withdrew his hand.
As soon as his spell power stopped, the suction of the vortex disappeared immediately.
"Welcome to the Quartet." He said.
Guan Zheng got up in embarrassment, very embarrassed. Since the day he learned the art of witchcraft, he had never suffered such a loss as today. It is always him who controls others, and when he has been designed by others, which makes him extremely hateful, and his eyes are red. However, after all, he had cultivated for so many years, but his face was still very calm.
"He's not wrong, you are a person who gets stronger and stronger, and it's very difficult to deal with, so I even suffered two secret losses in a row, and I couldn't spare my hands to fight back." He smiled, "But you can't help me, and it makes me feel more and more interested." I originally just wanted to take Xiao Xia away and leave you a way to live, but you don't know how to lift, so don't blame me for being rude. ”
Before Ruan Zhan could answer, Wan Li laughed first.
"You've got it, right? I didn't even play a draft when I lied, and it was rare that the expression on my face was so compassionate. How could you let us go, we all know what happens to everyone who has offended you. Be a bad guy and do it openly, at least I still admire your straightforwardness, hypocrites are the most killable. ”
"You don't need you to judge me, you're just a little white face who chats with people to make money!"
"You say I look like the kind of person who works at night." Wan Li didn't care, and continued to stimulate Guan Zheng. Although Guan is an experienced veteran, he is confident that he will provoke him to get angry and fight for the initiative for his side.
This is Ruan Zhan's request - he is not afraid of the other party's fury and onslaught, he is afraid of delaying time, and his strategy has a time limit.
"But at least I don't force anyone else, because I'm confident that I can make up for it in other ways. What about you? What else would it do but kill someone? We already know your bottom completely, and we don't need to put on a sanctimonious appearance, it's a bit disgusting indeed. ”
Guan Zheng stared at Wanli and did not speak.
Although Wanli was smiling on his face, his whole body was on guard. The hand that Guan Zheng attacked in the illusion just now, he had already seen it. It's very fast, and you can't necessarily avoid it if you are engrossed, so you can't be distracted.
"Since I'm so bad, what are you going to do?" Guan Zheng's eyes narrowed, his eyes flashing dangerously. He looked around for a moment, and finally landed on Ruan Zhan's face, "Where is the Quartet that welcomes me?" Why are there only three of them! ”
Ruan Zhan didn't answer, only stretched out his hand and slashed, and the wide open bamboo door in the room closed in front of everyone as if someone had slammed it hard.
Behind the door, on one side is the statue of the god of all things, and on one side hangs a small embroidered purse, the color is quite old, and the appearance is no different from the kind of purse used by ethnic minority girls as love objects.
Three people and one thing, guarding the four corners, is it not a quadrangle or what?
This is the formation that Ruan Zhan decided to use after thinking about it for a long time. Guan Zheng's ability is super strong, and if they don't gather all their strength, they won't have a chance of winning.
His father had taught him a lot, but he had never used it formally as a theoretical common sense, but this time, he decided to use this formation after considering many situations such as manpower, environment, and opponents.
It's a pity that these four squares need four people, there are only three of them, and he is the only one who has a spell, and he has tried his best to make up for it, hoping to eliminate Guan Zheng in the end.
"This is the fourth party of the quadrangle?" Guan Zheng rebuked contemptuously, "I'm not even afraid of the gods of all things, you think I'm afraid of a wooden card and a thing - what is that?" ”
"Your master's relics!" Ruan Zhan replied.
Guan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and for a moment the beautiful and kind fairy-like woman flashed in his mind, and he actually had an indescribable self-blame in his heart, but this was just a fleeting thought, and then returned to normal.
"Looks like you know everything."
"Of course. If you have anything to forget, I can remind you as well. After all, you're an old man. Although I don't know how you maintain the appearance of your thirties. Wanli said.
"My master's relics are useless to me!"
"Really? Then you can break the formation and try it. Ruan Zhan made a 'please' gesture.
Before the words fell, Guan Zheng suddenly jumped up, jumped forward like a frog to Xiao Xia, and instantly threw out the vine ball that had been used on the illusion of Wanli.
He didn't know how many traps there were in this octagonal building, but he knew that he was too big, and he was afraid that this place would not be good for him, so he was in a hurry to go downstairs. It is wild, with a large number of plants and animals, and there he will be like a fish in water, not like a tree without roots indoors, after all, he is a son of the forest.
This quadrangular array is to have four people guarding the four directions of due east, west, south and north to protect the qi of the four directions. He saw blood-red charms painted on the walls in these four directions, and knew that it must be used to suppress the array, otherwise it would be useless to have only four people standing in the four directions.
This is not a force-type array, it is a fighting array, so it mainly relies on spells, spells, telekinesis, and manipulation. And if you want to break the formation, you must break through one side.
Among the four squares, Ruan Zhan's side was undoubtedly the strongest. Although Guan Zheng believed that his strength was above Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan's performance just now was enough to make him vigilant. He didn't want to fight hard, after all, he didn't want to fight to the death, he just wanted to return to an environment that was more favorable to him.
Although Wan Li of the second party is a mortal, he has a lot of brute strength, yang energy, and under the surface of laughter, he has a very shrewd scheming, and it is not easy to deal with. If his few attacks fail, Ruan Zhan will attack him from behind, and he will also be disadvantaged.
As for the fourth party, he is not afraid of the wooden card of the god of all things, but he is a little taboo about the purse. Although I don't know if it is really something left by the master, but Ruan Zhan dares to take it to guard the fourth party of the quadrangle, it should not be a mortal thing, and he can't take risks.
Thinking about it, the only way to attack Xiao Xia is this. She is a delicate woman, with a heavy yin qi and no spells, although she will definitely be prepared, but she is undoubtedly the weakest link.
He doesn't mind the destruction of Xiao Xia's body, anyway, he doesn't want this, he wants her soul to accompany him forever, as long as he doesn't let go, she can't leave! So he decided to attack Xiao Xia Shou's third party.
In a flash, his attack had arrived!
He thought that Xiao Xia would definitely die this time, but he knew that Xiao Xia's hand had been in the cloth bag on his shoulder, and he already knew that he would attack him at the moment when Guan Zheng hesitated, so he had already taken out the contents of the bag before Guan Zheng made a move.
As soon as the thing was taken out, it quickly grew larger, and it was more than half a person tall in the blink of an eye, so although Guan Zheng attacked quickly, he hit the rattan ball on the thing that was blocking Xiao Xia's face.
The vine ball only made a popping sound, and it spread like powder without even seeing the phosphorus fire.
On closer inspection, it was a rusty metal flag glowing reddish, with a cinnabar charm attached to it. Guan Zheng knew that Xiao Xia didn't have the ability to sacrifice such a spiritual thing, it must have been a spell that Ruan Zhan had placed there in advance, so that this flag would automatically become bigger when it met the light.
However, although Guan Zheng's blow didn't work, the force of his throwing of the rattan ball was too great, and Xiao Xia took several steps back, until his back hit the wall heavily before he stopped.
"Natsu-chan!" Ruan Zhan and Wan Li screamed almost at the same time, and Ruan Zhan almost almost rushed out of the direction he was guarding.
"I'm fine! Leave me alone! Xiao Xia had a white face, but his expression was stubborn, "He will never rush out from my side!" ”
"Broken Banner?" Guan Zheng said clearly, "The treasure of the soul is actually used by you as a shield." ”
"Sima Nan told you?" Ruan Zhan's face was expressionless, "It's a pity that you didn't have the life to tell him, after killing you, it will be his turn next!" ”
...
