Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Duel (I)

Ruan Zhan was shocked to see his father's transformation. I saw that my father's body suddenly straightened, and the black qi that surrounded the outside of his body and was in a diffuse state suddenly reversed, as if it was sucked back by the powerful whirling force in his body, it contracted instantly, and it all invaded his body in the blink of an eye, even if Ruan Zhan used the yin and yang eyes, he couldn't see the black qi, it seemed that the evil qi was really integrated with his father's soul, and the dark clouds in his seal hall also turned black like ink, firmly covering there, like an ugly scar.

Looking at my father's face again, one moment ago it was righteous and awe-inspiring, and very loving, but now it is twisted and hideous, his beard and hair are all open, and his eyes are as red as a demon. This made Ruan Zhan's heart unacceptable for a while, and he stood there sadly.

Before the moment of becoming a demon, the father is already like this, not only has his appearance changed, but his mind is also clear, and he doesn't even know his son, if he reaches that moment, what will he become? Is this still a father? Is it better to live than to die like this?

The sound of the rattle was non-stop, and it was made by my father as he broke free from those invisible silver chains with his powerful evil power. The chain was a spell chain set up by his father to imprison himself, and his spiritual power was very powerful, but at this time, in front of his father, who had been controlled by evil energy, it seemed that he could no longer be bound and was about to be completely destroyed.

Stone chips are flying, and mud and sand are falling. Because those invisible chains locked the soul, they did not disappear after being torn off, and they were hung on his father with a clang, and as he pounced forward, he swept towards Ruan Zhan like a weapon, forcing him to wake up from his heartache and numbness, and jump out of the cave, his whole body vigilant and vigilant.

It's not yet an hour, and my father has an early seizure, so it will take time.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and laid down three enchantments in front of him, although he knew that it would not work, but at least he could block it for a while. Then, with the sword in his right hand and the sword in his left, he waited for his father to break free. Although all the evil qi had been absorbed by his father, he knew that the Bloodwood Sword still couldn't touch his father's soul body, but after all, the Bloodwood Sword had a deterrent effect on all souls, at least he could use this power to fight with his father for a while.

"I'm going to kill you!" Ruan's father roared again, broke the last chain, and rushed towards Ruan Zhan.

Ruan Zhan was prepared, so he immediately dodged when he saw the abnormal movement, but Ruan's father's speed was unexpectedly fast, and he rushed in front of him almost instantly, and the three enchantments shattered one after another, as if a beast had smashed open the three-layer paper door, and before the figure was close, the cold air struck first.

Ruan Zhan's left hand slashed a comet-tail-like charm in the air, flicked it backwards, and immediately brought Ruan's father's hand that was grabbing the top of his head to the rock wall. There was a strange thud, and a large chunk of the entire rock was taken down, and Ruan Zhan barely dodged the blow.

"Yes, who are you? Register your name. "The blow missed, obviously beyond Ruan's father's expectations. He rolled his red eyes at Ruan Zhan, half admiring and half crazy.

"I am your son." Looking at his father's appearance, Ruan Zhan's heart was broken, and he said solemnly: "Whether you remember it or not, whether we want to kill each other or not, I am your son." ”

Ruan's father laughed wildly, he didn't believe Ruan Zhan's words at all, and the evil thoughts in his body controlled him to just do whatever he wanted.

"In order to escape for his life, he actually pretended to be his son. If it's true, then come and honor Daddy and make me happy! I want to kill someone for fun now, and the more I kill, the happier I get! ”

At the same time as the last word, there was also his second attack, and the attack was not merciless at all, which made the last trace of illusion in Ruan Zhan's heart shattered. My father has been completely controlled by the evil qi, although he has not yet reached the moment of becoming a demon, there is no supreme magic power, but the real strength and the evil power of the evil qi to help him make his father already strong to the point of being invincible, and he has only one way to dodge.

The power of this second blow was greater than the first blow, and it seemed that his father was getting better and better at blending with the evil qi, but Ruan Zhan was still prepared, so although he was embarrassed, he avoided it again. The two missed blows made Ruan's father furious, and he saw Ruan Zhan's dexterity scurrying around in the narrow and deep cave like a swimming fish, attacking one move after another, and it seemed that he would not give up without putting Ruan Zhan to death.

All of a sudden, there were loud noises in the cave, the light of the spells, the uncertain red light of the bloodwood sword, and the green balls of light emitted by Ruan's father's palm were intertwined, a figure dodged left and right on the ground, and a black shadow flew up and down in mid-air, and the entire cave was in chaos.

Ruan Zhan only felt that it was extremely hard. Originally, every time he dodged, he was a desperate move, and every time he brushed shoulders with his father's palm, but as more and more gravel was hit to the ground by his father, the obstacles under his feet slowed down his movements, and he jumped around so desperately, and his physical strength was also a problem. What's more, my father seems to be familiar with his routines, understands his strategy, and starts to come first.

He used the terrain to defend tenaciously, because the cave was not straight, but had nine curves and eighteen bends, and there were many places with protruding sharp stones, and there was a considerable difference between the top and bottom. Every time he dodged an attack, he always had the principle of defending better the next time, and he was always moving from corner to corner. Whenever his father cornered him, he skillfully took advantage of the terrain and ran back to his original place. In this way, although one by one escaped for a long time, in fact, he did not even walk through half of this long cave, and he implemented his delaying tactics well.

But although Ruan's father was eroded by evil energy, he only completely lost his humanity, his intelligence was not damaged, and because he destroyed his humanity, he lost the shackles of emotions and became more intelligent and agile. He quickly saw Ruan Zhan's intentions, but firstly, he was a little afraid of the Bloodwood Sword, and secondly, Ruan Zhan did not hesitate to expend spiritual power, and would use a small range of space-time warping techniques when it was particularly critical, so he did not catch it for a while.

But soon after, he got tired of chasing after him, and began to turn his body into a flat shadow, like a black wave, clinging to the top of the cave and the sides of the rock wall, looking like Ruan Zhan's shadow from another angle, not only clinging to him, but also reaching him one step ahead of Ruan Zhan before he was about to dodge, blocking him head-on.

And although Ruan's father was afraid of the Bloodwood Sword, the green light he shot out was not afraid of the Bloodwood Sword, so he simply cast a spell with both hands, forcing Ruan Zhan to shoot down one with his sword back, while he desperately dodged the other. This was very thrilling for Ruan Zhan, and because every time the bloodwood sword and the green ball of light collided, he felt sorry for the treasure who had followed him for so many years, and his arm was numb because of the inertia of the ball of light.

As a result, his situation was even more dangerous, and he almost collided directly with his father's palm wind several times. He didn't know what trick it was, but he felt that it was similar to the Hellfire, but it was much more clever than the Hellfire, and when he got close to his body, he had a feeling of extreme cold and heat, as if even the body and soul were about to melt. As soon as he got closer, his steps sank a little, and the spells were jerky.

With a stumble on his feet, he kicked on a piece of gravel, but the pain in his foot had not yet come, and two gusts of wind had already hit him behind him, one in the back of the head and the other in the back of the heart. With a swing of his sword with his backhand, he shot down the green ball of light behind his head, barely shortened, and narrowly passed the second one.

But this time he felt a very hot tingling sensation in his back shoulders. Reaching out and touching it, it was warm and sticky, obviously wounded and bleeding.

And this blood qi further stimulated Ruan's father, he raised his head and took a deep breath, and laughed: "The blood of young people is really a good thing. Give it to me! As he spoke, four green balls of light shot out of his hands.

Ruan Zhan understood that there was no room for maneuver in the cave the moment he was injured, so the moment his father hit the ball of light, he had already cast the space-time warping technique and stepped out of the cave in one step. The two sides made moves at the same time, and the moves also took effect at the same time, even if Ruan's father did not succeed in killing Ruan Zhan, when Ruan Zhan came to the open space outside the cave, he did not step out as usual, but fell to the gravel ground as if he was kicked out of the hole.

Originally, Xiao Xia was already frightened when he heard the beast-like howl in the cave and the sound of cracking the ground outside the cave, but now when he saw Ruan Zhan's appearance suddenly appeared in front of him, he exclaimed in surprise, and almost rushed out to save him, but fortunately Wan Liyi caught him.

"Don't mess around." His eyes were on the center of the field, but his mouth said to Xiao Xia, "You used to distract him." ”

Xiao Xia fully understood this, and it was just a subconscious move just now, so although his heart was in his throat, he couldn't bear it. I saw that Ruan Zhan seemed to be in great pain after landing on the ground, and it took several crawls to get up. A piece of the clothes on the back of the shoulder was burned off, revealing a bloody patch of skin.

"He's hurt." Natsu almost cried.

"He's alive." Wanli said very seriously, grabbing Xiao Xia's hand at the same time. Feeling her little hand cold, she shook it hard, giving her confidence and courage: "That's what matters." ”

Xiao Xia nodded. She had long understood the danger and hardship of this battle, and she also understood that Wan Li was right, but it was impossible for any woman to be indifferent to seeing her sweetheart being hurt like this. She knew that since she couldn't help, she should try not to make a mess, but she was afraid that she would not be able to help it, so although she wanted to look at the dear face and figure, she turned away and shrank in the corner of the boulder, and blocked her ears.

"I don't dare to look at it, if there is any turnaround, you must call me!"

Wan Li agreed, and peeked at Uncle Bao in the distance.

Uncle Bao also hid behind a rock, but it was closer to the clearing in the middle. He also knew that something had happened, because before the time of calculation, his old friend seemed to be unable to hold it. His gaze was not as focused on Ruan Zhan as Xiao Xia and Wan Li, but at the entrance of the cave. When a dark shadow appeared there, he sighed deeply.

That's right, the old friend has been completely controlled by the evil qi, although he has not yet become a demon, but the magic power has come out, and he can't recognize people, this situation will be even more difficult for them. He watched Ruan Zhanbu's formation with his own eyes, and knew very well that the activation of that formation could only be carried out after the person who arranged the formation entered the formation, that is to say, it had to be activated by Ruan Zhan himself after entering the formation, and others could not help.

Moreover, activating that array requires strong spiritual power, with Ruan Zhan's current ability, it will definitely not work, it must be at the moment of the lunar eclipse, Ruan Zhan's strength will reach the strongest, and the ability of Heaven's will will be reduced to the weakest, all this will be meaningful. So what he can do is to help Ruan Zhan drag it out until the time to enter the formation. Judging from the current situation, the situation is very unfavorable, and it is unknown whether it can prevent the will of heaven from becoming a demon, let alone save Ruan Zhan's life.

But now there is no other way, only everyone to work together and fight hard.

Ruan Zhan barely got up, and the hand holding the bloodwood sword was weakly raised, Uncle Bao walked out from behind the stone in a flash, pulled out the sword behind his back, swiped it on his fingers, and then wrote a spell on the sword with blood, aiming it at the back of his old friend.

"It turns out that there is a helper, but what can I do!" Father Ruan didn't look back at all, and said arrogantly: "Then why are you scurrying around like a mouse in the cave and refusing to come out, isn't it slower for the two to join forces?" Ah, no, there should be three people, no, it's four, a person with no mana but a peculiar constitution, a woman, and a person with some spells outside the barrier. Do? Round me up? How do you know I'm here? Why am I here, did you arrest me? Ah, I see, you know that there will be a lunar eclipse in a while, which is the gateway for me to practice magic skills, so come and kill me, right? As he said the last few words, his voice turned sharp, and the red light in his eyes flashed terrifyingly.

Ruan Zhan didn't know what to say, when he faced the so-called enemy for the first time, he was very uneasy, hesitating whether to make a move, what tricks to use to make a move, and he didn't have half a point of calmness and composure on weekdays.

"You're going to kill me? Then let's die first! Father Ruan didn't wait for him to react, and suddenly made a move. The gesture was so familiar, it turned out to be the palm thunder that his father taught him. Ruan Zhan didn't know how to crack it, but he subconsciously used this trick.

Ruan's father's skill was already higher than Ruan Zhan's, and at this moment, he struck first, and he had an overwhelming advantage. It's just that Uncle Bao saw his old friend's shoulders shrug, and immediately used his most authentic and purest Dao sword. The sword qi carried the power of the soul snatching spell, forcing Ruan's father to withdraw his strength to protect his vital point, and the power of attacking Ruan Zhan stagnated, giving Ruan Zhan a chance to breathe, and the palm thunder that came later also arrived.

In mid-air, the two palm thunders met, and on the other side, the sword qi and the green ball of light collided, only two explosions were heard, Uncle Bao's body shook, Ruan Zhan took two steps back, and Ruan's father was hit back and forth but did not move.

"Haha! How's it going, have you taken it? You are no match for me at all! Father Ruan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Zhan, be sober. He is no longer your father, and if you continue to be weak, everyone will have no way to live. Uncle Bao didn't look at his old friend, and said to Ruan Zhan, whose face was pale.

The difference in strength in this duel is too huge, and there can't be the slightest soft-heartedness, but he sympathizes with Ah Zhan's child, and even he doesn't dare to look at his old friend's face, for fear that he will be swayed by feelings, let alone this child? Father-son affection, that is the blood of destiny, it can't be parted, I really don't know how Ah Zhan faced this torment when he was in the cave. If possible, he would love this child for his old friend, although he was already an adult, but now he had to force him!

He is better than being familiar with all the fighting methods of his old friend, and hopes to help Ah Zhan, the child, fulfill his old friend's wish. In the end, it also reserved a glimmer of life for Ah Zhan.
