Chapter 55: Stalemate

As soon as Ruan Zhan's words were finished, he casually formed a fire handprint and slapped it directly at Guan Zheng's front door.

Guan Zheng dared to be lazy, hurriedly waved his hand, and two strange monotones came out of his mouth, and the red vines hidden in his cuffs burst out, quickly coiled together, blocking the first attack like a grass shield.

But the fire made by the fire mudra was not an ordinary fire, it had a magical power, so it did not fall to the ground or extinguish because it was blocked, but was stuck on the 'grass shield', and drilled an inch into it before it burned with a bang.

A palm-sized fire handprint expanded rapidly like a little blood dripping into clear water at the moment of burning, setting the entire shield on fire and hanging like a big fireball a foot in front of Guan Zheng.

The red vines writhed in pain, making a piercing grinding sound, but they didn't disperse, they continued to burn like that, and were randomly directed by Guan Zheng behind them to dance up and down, stopping Ruan Zhan's second and third fire handprints.

This four-square formation is a defensive formation, because Wan Li, Xiao Xia and the holy relic can only defend and not attack, so in fact, only Ruan Zhan is fighting with Guan Zheng alone, and the other two people can only hold the direction and be vigilant against Guan Zheng's moves.

And although Ruan Zhan's several attacks made Guan Zheng very embarrassed, they were all parried by him, and after a little panic after adapting to the heavy setback, he began to fight back.

He manipulated the 'grass shield' with his right hand, not caring at all how the monster struggled and screamed, and with his left hand, with his strange command, a red vine sprang out from this cuff, wrapped in the sound of the wind, and once again quickly rolled towards Xiao Xia. Judging from that castration, it is not something that ordinary people can resist, and if it is involved, it is not a question of where it will be pulled to, but it is simply possible to squeeze to death.

Ruan Zhan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly raised the bloodwood sword to help, but before he took a step out of his position, he heard Guan Zheng sneer, he had already taken advantage of Ruan Zhan's attack to slow down, and pushed the fireball controlled by his right hand towards Wanli, and it was very different from the method of attacking Xiao Xia. If the attack on Xiao Xia is already ferocious, then the attack on Wan Ligang is even more ruthless, almost in the blink of an eye, the fireball has reached Wan Li's face.

Wanli screamed and lay on the ground, barely dodging the blow. It's just that this fire is Ruan Zhan's magic fire, and it won't be extinguished if he doesn't take it back; And the demon vine was controlled by Guan Zheng, and he didn't summon or go back, so the fireball hit the air, and then turned his head and attacked Wanli again.

Over there, another demon vine had already rolled up in front of Xiao Xia, and Ruan Zhan's bloodwood sword was also able to cut it off. This demon vine is the same as the previous one, one part of it fell to the ground and writhed and withered, and the other part shrank back like a living snake, and it didn't seem to be shortened because it was cut off, and it still flexibly expanded and expanded when attacking, and it grew so long that it couldn't see the roots, and I don't know how it was hidden in Guan Zheng's cuffs.

Relieved of the crisis on Xiao Xia's side, Ruan Zhan's body flickered, and he returned to his position, because he was using his improved small-scale space-time warping technique, so it seemed to be an instant transfer, blocking Guan Zheng's move to rush out of his side halfway.

Guan Zheng couldn't get himself out of the formation when he saw this move, so he couldn't help but be angry, and retreated in one step, as if he was ruthless, and attacked Wanli with his right hand.

In this way, Wan Li immediately tightened, he just relied on the strong and flexible body formed by regular exercise to hide and dodge, and he was not hurt for the time being, but it seems that if there is no help from external forces, if he still sticks to his position, he will not be able to survive two rounds. And as soon as Ruan Zhan tried to save him, Guan Zheng began to attack Xiao Xia.

Guan Zheng's super strength allowed him to attack two parties at the same time, but he restrained all three parties together. Just like playing chess, one left hand looked at Xiao Xia, and the right hand dealt with Wan Li alone, so that Ruan Zhan would hurt the other side wherever he moved, so that it was like a waste, although it was powerful, it was useless!

"Clothes!" Ruan Zhan shouted, pointing the sword in his right hand in Xiao Xia's direction as a defense, and his left hand raised it in mid-air to draw a ten-character spell.

Wan Li on the other side didn't say anything when he heard this, but he fell to the ground again under the attack of the fireball, but the moment he fell to the ground, he suddenly threw off the loose T-shirt on his body, naked his upper body, and his arms subconsciously blocked his chest. Immediately after, the fireball and a ten-character drawn by Ruan Zhan's void turned around in the air at the same time, and it was here!

I only heard the sound of 'hum', 'pop', 'ah' and curse at the same time, and between the lightning and flint, I saw that the fireball was pushed away from Wanli's body two feet away, and the burning flames were all swallowed outward, and they would not burn to Wanli's skin.

"Good fellows! is so ruthless to the rival in love, you want my life! Wanli hid in embarrassment, but his face still looked like the sky had fallen and he was covered with a quilt. He rubbed the outside of his arms vigorously, which was red and swollen, obviously hit hard, "Your fucking strength is really great, fortunately my bones are hard, otherwise I would have to break!" ”

At this time, the fireball seemed to be the focus of the stalemate between the two sides, and it stayed in mid-air beside Wan Li, neither advancing nor retreating, let alone falling. Wan Li's hands were empty, and he didn't take anything, but a huge red charm was drawn on his chest, with teeth and claws, echoing the ten characters drawn by Ruan Zhan's void, sucking in the fireball and the flames on its side.

"How could Ah Zhan let me deal with the villain with my hands empty?" Wan Li said nonchalantly, "Did you see this talisman?" As long as it echoes his ten characters, it can resist your level of sorcery, and this—" he raised his hands, "can also resist any physical force, so you can't rush out of my side either." Switch sides. ”

Guan Zheng snorted and did not speak.

He attacked twice, once because he was blocked by Xiao Xia, who was actually the Broken Banner, and the second time because the spell on Wanli's body and his own strength failed again, did he have to fight Ruan Zhan hard?

He glanced at Ruan Zhan and saw that the latter was looking at him indifferently, and he couldn't see any emotion on his face, that is, he was neither smug nor flustered, that is, he was neither excited nor frightened, and that calmness and calmness made him admire and annoyed, and that look was as if he was already a fish on the board, and he didn't put him in his eyes at all.

Feeling insulted, he turned his heart sideways, increased his mana with both hands, and walked towards Ruan Zhan step by step. Because his hands attacked the left and right sides, the door was wide open. And Ruan Zhan is in the same situation because he wants to assist Wan Li and Xiao Xia. As Guan Zheng approached, both of them exposed their weaknesses in front of each other, as if they were going to fight hand-to-hand.

Wan Li and Xiao Xia were under the pressure of Guan Zheng at the same time, and they had to stick to their positions and not move, so they couldn't help at all, so they could only watch anxiously.

And Ruan Zhan saw Guan Zheng's approach, although he felt the pressure from the other party, he was still calm, and his eyes stared at the other party without flinching.

Guan Zheng got closer and closer, and when the two of them were only two meters apart, he suddenly laughed.

He smiled gloomily and viciously, his eyes did not have a hint of laughter, but his face was distorted, especially his mouth was very large, his mouth was pitch black, and even his teeth were black, at first glance, he thought it was a black hole without teeth.

He took another step forward, it was very difficult, as if the pull of all sides had reached the extreme, and then he began to retch, and after vomiting several times, a small snake came out of his mouth.

The little snake was also black, about four inches long, and as soon as Guan Zheng's mouth came out, it flew like a dart towards Ruan Zhan's throat, seeing that he had nowhere to escape, unless he left the direction he was guarding.

Ruan Zhan was motionless, his two hands still pointed to the positions of Wan Li and Xiao Xia respectively, refusing to return his hand to protect himself, and he closed his eyes the moment the little snake bit his throat, looking completely ignored!

In Xiao Xia's exclamation, the little snake stretched straight in the air, and under the light of the oil lamp and firelight, it stayed in the air like a shiny iron rod, making a 'hissing' sound.

From the direction of Xiao Xia Station, I only saw the process of Guan Zheng using demon magic again, but I couldn't see whether the snake had bitten Ruan Zhan. I saw that the snake's head and the skin on Ruan Zhan's neck overlapped, and Ruan Zhan stood there with his eyes closed, he didn't move, and the snake didn't move.

She couldn't leave her position, and she didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would distract him, and her heart was extremely anxious, and the same was true for Wanli on one side.

Her gaze lingered on Ruan Zhan's face and Guan Zheng's back, but she couldn't see anything. After a while, I can't tell how long, but I feel that there is such a long time, and she finally sees a clue.

The snake remained the same, but the taut body softened a little, Ruan Zhan's eyes were still closed, but fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead, and his brows were also frowned, and because Guan Zheng was facing away from her, she couldn't see his face, only saw his shoulders trembling slightly, obviously using dark power.

In this way, these two people are wrestling. Although I don't know if the little snake bit Ruan Zhan or not, at least he is okay now! And because they were all flawless and distracted, Xiao Xia felt that the pressure on her body was a little looser, and the demon vine that had been pointing at her was a little farther away. This gave her room to move, and she should do something to help Ruan Zhan.

But how?

She thought anxiously, looked up at Wanli, and saw that Wanli also understood what was going on, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Ah Zhan is fine." He suddenly spoke, "Don't worry, that snake's fangs are still 0.01 centimeters away from him." You don't have to be afraid to speak, I can see that they are fighting for telekinesis this time, that is, they use their mental power to sway this snake. At this time, although they could hear it, no one could move, and it was in a stalemate. ”

"But—" Natsu was still in a hurry.

"I understand, I understand!" Wan Li seemed to deliberately let the two people hear it, and raised his voice, "I also want to help Ah Zhan, but you see, this Uncle Guan, who has parasites in his stomach, looks at you with vines, and uses this fireball that has been burning for a long time to face me, so that we can't move." And as soon as something happens to us, Ah Zhan will be distracted to save him, so that all three of us will be finished. Uncle Guan's abacus is very fine, and he doesn't lose at all! ”

"I have an idea." Xiao Xia understood Wanli's intentions, and also raised his voice, "I can protect myself, but I don't know if you can do it?" ”

"Don't underestimate me, your husband and I are amazing men!" Wan Li deliberately put the word 'husband' a little heavier.

Guan Zheng was one against three in the formation they had laid out, and although he suffered a little dark loss at the beginning, he immediately reversed the situation, and he admired this very much. But admiration is admiration, and the determination to eliminate Guan Zheng has not changed, the question is how can they help Ruan Zhan now.

Although this quadrangle is guarded by three people, in fact, most of the pressure is on Ruan Zhan's shoulders, the reason why he didn't say anything just now was because he didn't see the situation clearly and didn't dare to move, and now he understands that if this stalemate continues, Ruan Zhan will lose the upper hand, and he must do something while the current situation is equal. After all, there are many of them, and Guan Zheng will always take care of one or the other.

He basically knew what Xiao Xia was going to do, and speaking so loudly was just to inform Ruan Zhan and to strike a blow to Guan Zheng's mentality.

"Ah Zhan, listen up." He said steadily, "Now you can take back the hand that protects the two of us and concentrate on dealing with Uncle Guan, because we have already thought of a way to protect ourselves." If you don't listen, we will do what we want, and then the three parties will suffer. So this time, it was me and Xiao Xia who forced you, and you have to listen. ”

He waited for more than ten seconds for Ruan Zhan to digest the news, which also made Guan Zheng's heart fluctuate, and then began to count. This is the tacit understanding between him and Ruan Zhan from childhood to adulthood, in the consciousness of ordinary people, they will count three times, and then they will attack when the third number is pronounced. But they were on full alert from the first time, and they didn't move at all at the third time. If the opponent moves, they will use static braking and rear-attack; If the other person does not move, they will do it when the other person hesitates.

"Three!" Wan Li shouted out the number.

Ruan Zhan didn't move, but Guan Zheng did. This time he chose to retreat and attack Natsu again. Because from Ruan Zhan's reaction when he attacked Xiao Xia for the first time, he could see Ruan Zhan's unusual concern for Xiao Xia. This made him jealous, and it also made him understand the weakness of this man who was temporarily inferior to him in mana, but he couldn't suppress it.

His skills were deeper than Ruan Zhan's, and he took the initiative to retreat in the stalemate and was not harmed. I just didn't care about the snake anymore and let it fall to the ground.

As soon as the pressure in front of Ruan Zhan was relaxed, he immediately withdrew his arm pointing to Wanli's side, and hastily drew a void talisman to create an invisible barrier in front of him, so that when Guan Zheng came to attack, he would have to use his mental power to fight.

And his other hand still took care of Xiao Xia, but Guan Zheng was attacking Xiao Xia with all his strength this time, the speed was too fast, he had to aim at the demon vine that stretched out towards Xiao Xia, and threw the blood wood sword out with a wave of his hand!
