Chapter 4: Escape from Death
(a)
In the moonlight, the dark shadow revealed its roe deer face. ------
Zixia quickly stretched out the golden hairpin in her hand, and the golden hairpin turned into a sword that shone with purple light. This sword is called "Purple Light Sword" is one of the six treasures of the fairy world, and there is a sword called "Qingguang Sword" is Shang An's weapon, which is also one of the six treasures of the fairy world. If the two sisters' pair of divine swords are combined into one, they can release the mana of the earth-shattering ghosts and gods, so it is also called the "Heaven and Earth Twin Immortal Sword".
"Shang'er, take Anne away. With that, Zixia flew out of the window, brandished the divine sword in her hand, and fought with the vampire bat king.
Before Anne could fully understand all this, she was pulled downstairs by Shang An. But after the third watch at night, the door of the restaurant had already been closed, and Shang An had no choice but to pull out the golden hairpin, conjure up a blue light sword, and face those door panels is a sword. After only hearing a few explosions with a "bang", the wooden plank that sealed the door was washed open by the sword qi.
"Oh my God, what kind of sword is this? It's unbelievable. Anne said in surprise.
"Alright, the unbelievable is yet to come! Get out of here with me, quick. Shang An took her hand and ran out of the restaurant.
"It's not that easy to run," the Vampire Bat King said as he exchanged hands with Zixia, "Brothers, give it to me." β
In an instant, a large group of bats with roe deer eyes attacked Anne and Shang An overwhelmingly, and even the bright moon was dimmed by them. It was the first time that Anne had seen such a spectacular scene with such a large face, and she was stunned for a moment, as if she had seen an "alien".
"Third sister, you don't want to die, go quickly!" Shang An suddenly picked up Anne again and ran forward as he said, "That's a group of vampire bats! Hold my hand tightly, don't let go." β
"Okay------, I know the second sister. But Anne still looked back at the bats that were pressing down as she ran, and when she saw that she was about to be overtaken, she ran forward desperately with her head buried in fear. Shang An thought that it was not a way to run like this any longer, so he stopped, stood in front of the group of vampire bats, held the cyan light sword in his hand, flew up, and quickly swung the divine sword out in the night sky, the cyan sword qi exploded rapidly in the darkness, and there was a loud sound like thunder.
After the deafening roar, the moonlight gradually cut through the darkness, and as the light spread, the corpses of the bat demons began to fall in the sky, layer after layer were very spectacular. But as soon as the moon revealed half of its face, it was re-covered by the bat demon behind it.
"You wicked beasts, you are really stubborn. Shang An pointed at the bat demons who were pressing with his divine sword.
"Sister, don't entangle with them anymore, take the third sister out of here. Zixia said after avoiding the Demon Bat King's sunspot soul light.
"Yes, sister. Shang An said, "I'm not going to play with you, ah! β
Anne looked up at the night sky full of flowers, and couldn't help but think of the scene of herself and Kang Tai setting off fireworks on the sand dunes on Valentine's Day. She was enchanted by the sound of laughter, the laughter, the wine and the roses, and the breeze and the moon. Of course, these feelings are just superficial vanity, in fact, what can really make her feel intoxicated is only Kang Tai's warmth, but now Kang Tai is not by her side. Suddenly, the feeling of loneliness and loneliness violently shattered all her feelings, and she burst into tears. These are tears of longing, no doubt about it.
Such a big movement will naturally alarm the residents of the restaurant and some nearby residents. The roar and fighting frightened everyone from going out to find out, so they could only peek outside through the cracks in the windows. In the darkness, the owner of the restaurant and a few bold guys tiptoed down the second floor, squeezed to the door to see, on the dim street, there was a beautiful woman with a red light all over. Looking at the mid-air again, in the northwest corner, a monster with green light and teeth and claws is fighting with a beautiful woman holding a purple light sword, purple light and green light sometimes collide, sometimes separate, and the fight is very fierce. Not to mention the northeast corner, where layers of black clouds are falling downward, just like black snow. The rooftops, pavilions, and streets were almost entirely lined with the corpses of the bat demons, and the night wind mixed with the strong smell of blood hit the nose, making the frightened onlookers always feel like vomiting.
(b)
Anne stood in a pool of blood, staring at the corpses of the little bat demons and shivering, she was terrified, some of the novelty and intoxication just now were long gone.
"What a bunch of fools, go get that girl for me. As soon as the big devil gave the order, the group of little devils began to divide into two ways, dragging Shang An all the way and catching Annie all the way.
"It's not good, the third sister is in danger. Shang An struggled to break out of the encirclement, fell from the sky, and shouted loudly, "Third sister, run ------ danger------ run! β
When Anne awoke from her fear, she found herself surrounded by the little bat demons. What should I do? Will I still be able to see Kang Tai? Or will I be taken away by them? Just as she panicked, she realized that she was already several feet away from the ground. She began to desperately shout for help, but it was no longer enough. She felt like a bird caught in a dark net, powerless to struggle and resist. Since Shang An was still entangled by thousands of bat demons and couldn't get out, naturally there was no way to save her.
"Ha--- ha--- ha! I won't play with you, and the brethren will retreat. After the Vampire Bat King got rid of Zixia, Shuai led a large group of bat demons to quickly fly over the capital and flew towards the depths of a dark pine forest. As soon as they left, the corpses of those little bat demons turned into a black wind and swept through the entire restaurant, and few people would know what was going on here.
"Sister, the third sister was captured by them, what should we do now?" Shang An asked while standing in the clouds.
"My sister had expected this a long time ago," Zixia replied, "Quick, chase after the place where the red light is shining." β
"Good. Shang An answered, and hurriedly chased after him, of course, Zixia also followed.
Anne wept sadly in the black web woven by the little demons, and the resentment and longing in her heart overwhelmed everything, including fear. Where the hell is Kang Tai? Why hasn't he shown up yet? In fact, the current Kang Tai is not sitting still? The notice of the search has been posted for a whole day, but there is still no news, and he is about to go crazy in a hurry, standing in front of the palace lamp in the Yuanle Pavilion, holding the portrait of Anne in both hands and sighing. Princess Taiping saw his thoughts, so she stepped forward and asked, "It seems that she is very important to you?"
"Yes. Kang Tai replied sincerely, "She is the fiancΓ©e of the grass people." β
"Grass people, don't you think this four-rank official position is too small?" asked the princess.
"No------ no, no. Kang Tai hurriedly explained, "The official position of the fourth grade is already very large, but ------ but the grass people can't do it, and they don't want to do it." β
"Okay, that's enough, it's too late. Princess Taiping said angrily, "You should know very well that you have no jokes, and since you have accepted your mother's arrangement, it is impossible to turn back, Lord Kang." β
Princess Taiping's words made him tremble and tremble. He knew that there was danger everywhere in this deep palace, and he would lose his head if he was not careful, so he couldn't say the wrong thing again, otherwise he might never see Anne again.
"Please forgive the princess. Kang Tai hurriedly knelt down in front of the princess and said.
"All right, get up! You are not guilty. I understand how you feel right now, waiting is the most painful thing in the world, and you and I are now slaves to it. The princess frowned and said, "Yue'er, send Master Kang back to the house." β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess. After Yue'er saluted, she said, "Lord Kang, please!"
After Kang Tai also saluted and got up, he followed the maid Yue'er to prepare to leave the Yuanle Pavilion, but as soon as he walked out of the pavilion door for half a step, he was stopped by Princess Taiping.
"Wait," said the princess, who suddenly looked at him with a wistful look, "don't go, will you stay?"
"Princess. Kang Tai took a few steps back, glanced at Princess Taiping in a panic, and only spit out these two words.
"Answer me!" said the princess excitedly.
"This, I ------ my ------," Kang Tai said in a slurred manner.
His heart began to beat faster, and beads of sweat continued to ooze from his forehead and temples. It was terrible, and the princess was really going to think of herself as an appendage to the pony, or did she have other ideas. All this seems so ridiculous, I can't imagine it.
(c)
"Okay, forget it, in that case, I won't force you. The princess looked at her eyes and said, "Your mansion must have been set up, and I would like to see it." β
"This------ this, I ------, princess, how can this be? It's too late, if you ------" Kang Tai was only halfway through his words, and was interrupted by the princess.
"Why not, what are you afraid of?" the princess said emotionally, "No one in this Daming Palace has dared to refuse this princess in person, you are the first person." β
At this time, Princess Taiping began to be a little confused mentally.
"Hmph, you're too ignorant!" Yue'er stepped forward and reprimanded him, "Don't forget who gave you everything now, and besides, if it weren't for the princess to cover up for you today, your head would have already fallen to the ground." You must know that it is a capital crime to be good at breaking into the palace, and it is even more of a crime to deceive the queen of heaven. But the princess not only did not cure your sin, but also let the queen of heaven reward you heavily, and you are so ignorant of what to do, it is really in vain that the princess has a heart for you. β
If she hadn't looked like her dead husband, she would have died a long time ago, but then again, her life was saved by her, no matter what the reason, the facts are the facts. The more Kang Tai thought about it, the more contradictory he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he didn't know how to face the princess.
"Okay Yue'er, don't talk about it. Prepare a sedan chair and send Lord Kang home. The princess said with a sinking face.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness Princess, Lord Kang, please!" Yue'er took a step forward with the palace lamp and said.
"The princess's life-saving grace and magnanimity, I will never forget it, but ------,Hey! After Kang Tai said these words, he saluted and walked out of the Yuanle Pavilion, got into the prepared official sedan chair, and walked out of the palace from Chengtianmen under the escort of Yue'er and several guards, and headed west of the imperial city.
More than half an hour later, the official sedan chair pressed down in front of the magnificent Kangfu gate. After Kang Tai walked out of the official sedan chair in the moonlight, he saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and there was a momentum of greeting the VIPs with colorful lights. He stood flattered and watched for a moment before entering the courtyard of the mansion accompanied by Yue'er. Zhang Gui, the old housekeeper who was working in the courtyard, saw that someone was coming to the palace, so he recruited everyone to come and greet him.
"Does he ------ they all serve me?" asked Kang Tai in surprise.
"Yes, they are all princesses who have come to serve your lordship. Yue'er said, "This is Steward Zhang, and he will be responsible for arranging everything for the adults' diet and daily life in the future." β
"Old decay Zhang Gui, this is polite. "The old housekeeper Zhang Gui and those maids were about to kneel down and salute, but they were stopped by Kang Tai.
"Uncle, what are you doing here? Hurry up, I'm not used to you doing this. Mrs. Kang hurriedly stepped forward to support Steward Zhang and said, "Don't be too formal, let's get up quickly! I know that you are all here on the orders of the princess, and of course I can't say anything more, so I can only hope that you will be safe and do your job well. Oh, it's not early, let's all go back and rest! β
It's ridiculous that he treats this place as a recruit company, these subordinates as recruits, and himself as a recruit company commander.
Soon, everyone dispersed at his urging. Only Kang Tai, Yue'er, Steward Zhang, and a few maids waiting to be called were left in the courtyard.
"My lord, it's getting late, let's let the old man arrange for the adults to go back to the room to rest!" Steward Zhang stepped forward and saluted.
"Wait for me for a while, uncle. After that, Kang Tai said politely to Yue'er, "Miss Yue'er, thank you for escorting you all the way." β
"Oh! Yue'er was also ordered by the princess to send the adults back to the house, how can I thank you. Yue'er said naturally, "However, Master Kang's speech is really weird and funny! β
(iv)
"Oh, by the way, Miss Yue'er, you must be very tired after walking so far, don't you want to go into the house and sit?" asked Kang Tai hypocritically.
"Sit, I don't dare. The temple of the adults is so high that even the princess can't get close, and my little maid dares to overstep it?" Yue'er smiled and said, "Okay, it's late at night, so the adults should go to bed early! Yue'er has to go back to the palace to resume her life! β
"That's good! Miss Yue'er was careful all the way. With that, Kang Tai sent her out of the house.
"Okay, Lord Kang, please stay!" Yue'er took two steps forward, and suddenly turned back and said, "Oh! By the way, there are some things that Yue'er wants to remind Lord Kang that officialdom is sinister, and the helpless are not successful." Adults, don't go back empty-handed as if you entered Baoshan!"
Yue'er's words, how could Kang Tai not understand that the officialdom is dangerous, and it must be difficult to move an inch without a backer. But everyone has their own aspirations, maybe for some people to get such a favor from the princess, they will definitely take this opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, and even will do whatever it takes to achieve their evil goals. But Kang Tai is different, he is a man who must be principled in everything he does, and he can stick to the principles he stipulates in both business and life. Especially in terms of feelings, he has always adhered to the principle of uniqueness. And he loves Anne madly, of course, he doesn't want to hurt her because he doesn't handle some things well, so he doesn't dare to get too close to the princess, and even accepting Wu Zetian's reward is just a measure of rights, to put it bluntly, it's all to find Anne.
Yue'er is gone, but he is in boundless pain. This pain is none other than the waiting that the princess speaks of. He waited for the morning to dawn, for he would be able to go to Anne as soon as it was dawn. But God didn't do what he wanted, and the more he looked forward to it, the slower time passed, and he was about to go crazy.
"Annie, where the hell are you? Do you know that there's someone here who is worried about you? Annieβ" Kang Tai asked in a loud and painful voice as he looked up at the night sky.
This feeling of longing also touched Anne's heart.
"Kang Tai, where are you? Do you know that I really miss you. With tears in her eyes, Anne said, "Eldest sister, second sister, save me------ save me! β
The red light quickly approached the dark pine forest, and gradually disappeared into the sky. Immediately after, the purple and blue beams of light swept through the sky like meteors, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The deep and strange pine forest blocked everything from the outside world, and the surrounding Anne was numb except for the darkness and fear. She had nothing else to do now but close her eyes, avoid fear, and wait for Zixia and Shang An to come and save her.
"Hey--- hey--- hey! In a moment, the vampire bat king stood in front of a rocky cave and said to Anne, "Open your eyes and see!
When Anne opened her eyes, she found herself trapped by a group of small bat demons on a stone platform that shimmered green, and there was still no way to escape. She knew that after waiting for so long, the two sisters had not come to save her, and she must be hopeless. She was in great pain. Of course, it's not entirely because of his own situation, but more because he is afraid that he will never see Kangta, so he is so miserable. Suddenly, Anne remembered what Kang had said to her, "You can't think of Anne like that, and use your knowledge and wisdom to leave death to them." Thinking of this, Anne's state of mind began to gradually return to normal. She has only one idea now, and that is to rely on her own wits and courage to get out of this situation. But it is not easy to get out of such a predicament.
"Hey, what are you trying to do with me here?" asked Anne tentatively.
"Hey--- hey--- hey, it's a pity!" said the Vampire Bat King in a strange voice, "With such good skin and physiognomy, I really can't bear to turn you into an ugly corpse!"
"What? turn me into a dry corpse?" Anne asked in horror, "Hey, you and I have no grievances in the past, and no revenge in the near future! You must have a reason for doing this, right?"
"Reason, hey--- hey--- hey! It's simple, because I need your blood to practice magic skills. Now you see, your blood is more precious than gold. Hey--- hey--- hey!" replied to her with a strange look at the vampire bat king.

Anne observed the situation around her while talking to the demon king, and found that everything around her was very unfavorable to her. The deep and dark pine forest is full of dangers, and even if she is lucky enough to escape the clutches of this group of monsters, it will probably be difficult to get out of this dark pine forest. Therefore, Anne can only make up stories and play tricks to delay time.
The demon king got a little impatient and began to approach her step by step.
At the critical moment, she suddenly remembered that she still had a pistol hidden by Fang Dongsheng and their loss, which could just come in handy, even if she couldn't kill this monster, the loud gunshots might bring the two sisters in, and wouldn't she be saved at that time?
"Hmph! You want to turn me into a dry corpse, it's not that easy. β
With that, Anne pulled out her pistol from her high boots and struck the bolt twice in succession at the demon king, and with the crisp sound of two gunshots, two bullets wrapped in flames shot out of the chamber one after another, shooting lightning towards the demon king's chest.
But a strange thing happened again, the two bullets fired actually stopped in the demon king's chest, and then lost power and landed at the same time.
"Hmph, you dare to resist, it's really beyond your strength. The Vampire Bat King said, shaking his wide wings.
Such an attack was meaningless, and the demon king continued to approach Annie step by step.
"Don't come, don't come. She began to shout in a panic, "Eldest sister, second sister, where are you------ where are you?, come and save me------ come and save me." β
At this time, Zixia and Shang An, who were lost in the forest, heard Annie's shouts again, and of course naturally heard the two gunshots. But no matter how they walked, they were spinning in circles, as if they had entered a labyrinth. The voice of the cry for help was getting louder and louder, as if it was close at hand, but there was no way to find it, and in a hurry, the two fairies had no choice but to summon their respective divine beasts to open the way.
Speaking of mythical beasts, readers must want to know about them, right? Legend has it that mythical beasts are spiritual creatures in the fairy world. But this is only a one-sided understanding, in fact, these divine beasts are the same as humans, and they are divided into high, low, noble and low. Not only that, but they also have different missions and responsibilities. There are those who rank in the immortal class, such as the lord of the four spirits of the four spirits of the world's beasts. There are special ones for appreciation, such as Danfeng Qingluan and so on. There are also special ones for mounts, such as zodiac signs and so on. ------
However, the two fairy beasts of Zixia and Shang'an are different, there is no distinction between them, only the difference between attack, defense and temperament. They are the five divine eggs that naturally differentiated between the chaotic heaven and earth before Pangu opened the world, which are the Golden Horn Spiritual Light Beast, the Divine Wood Xuanhua Beast, the Crystal Mixed Light Beast, the Flame Qilin Beast, and the Earth Dun Unicorn Five Elements Beast System. Among them, the Golden Horn Spiritual Light Beast and the Flame Qilin Beast were the battle beasts of the two of them.
"The Flame Kirin Beast, appear. Shang An hung the sword in the air, folded his hands in front of his chest, and silently recited the incantation in his mouth. Suddenly, a fire began to burn all around, and the dark pine forest was deformed by the flames. In an instant, out of the burning flames, a divine beast with a deer antlers on its head, a lion-like face, and limbs like horses' hooves jumped out.
Fire Kirinmon: Attack power is 99%, lethality is 99%, protection is 98%, and the special move "Three-Yuan True Fire Wave".
"The Golden Horn Spirit Light Beast, appear. Zixia also hung the divine sword in the air, clasped her hands in front of her chest, silently recited a spell in her mouth, and the immortal mole between her eyebrows emitted ten thousand golden rays of light, enveloping her body. With a bang!, the golden light burst out, illuminating most of the pine forest. Then, in the dazzling golden light, a divine beast with a body radiating spiritual light, a golden spiritual light horn on its head, a silver-white scale armor, and a face like a white tiger jumped out.
Golden Horn Spiritual Light Beast: 100% attack power, 100% lethality, 99% protection, special move "Ice Explosion Golden Light Technique".
(f)
The Vampire Bat King found that on the east side of the pine forest, two golden and red spiritual lights were frantically devouring the darkness, and they would soon extend over.
"I didn't think they could break through my dark maze. Vampire Bat King said.
"Hmph! There are so many things you can't think of! Let me go, or I'll look good with you." Anne put the gun back away in her hand and said dismissively.
It seems that she has guessed that these two rays of light must have been released by her eldest sister and second sister, and now she can be saved.
"Hmph, don't be too happy. The Vampire Bat King said angrily, "I have killed and wounded so many brothers in order to capture you, and I will never spare you." Yikes!"
With that, it spread its wings and rushed towards Anne.
"Huh!" There was a slam on the ground, and a dazzling red light flashed, and it was actually struck back by the red light emitted from Anne's body. This angered the demon king, and after the guy covered his eyes and screamed a few times, he rushed up and wanted Annie's life.
"Ahh------h
With a "boom", the raging fire mixed with the cold rushed over. Soon, the demon king and some little bat demons were all swept to the ground by the shockwave, and even Anne was no exception. The two beasts burst out of the pine forest, hovered rapidly in the night sky for a few weeks, and then rushed into the black-pressed bat colony. At this time, the sky and the forest were again in a fight, explosions and screams. Colorful light waves shuttle, stagger, and collide in the dark space, which is very fantastical, as if entering an online game, which is confusing.
Oh my God, what kind of world is this, how can it be so detached from reality, is it all true? It's unbelievable, but it's really happening, you can't help but believe it, it's really a big world!
Anne hid behind a thick pine tree, observing everything in amazement. When the corpses of the little bat demon fell in front of her again, she could no longer find the fear she had at the beginning, and all her expressions were frozen on that pale face, she was no longer afraid of the dark and death.
"Tell me, what did you do to that girl?" Zixia asked as she fought fiercely with the demon king.
"Hmph, you're really good!" The Vampire Bat King said, "Since you can break my Dark Ecstasy Array in such a short period of time, it has also ruined Lao Tzu's good deeds. You're going to pay the price. Yikes!"
The enraged Vampire Bat King began to flap his wings frantically. Suddenly, a green whirlwind fell from the sky, forming a green pillar in the dense pine forest, and it continued to thicken and grow, forcing Monk Zixia to the treetops.
"Hmph, if I'm not mistaken, your Blood Devouring Demon Skill hasn't reached home yet. And you need to suck the blood of a young girl every night to help you reconcile yin and yang, otherwise you will be exhausted and in pain. Zixia stood on the treetop and said, "Isn't it like suicide for you to use your true qi like this? β
"Tied up, dreaming. With that, the demon king roared wildly, not knowing that the corners of his mouth were bleeding outward. With each enlargement of the green pillar, a large mouthful of blood gushed out. The Vampire Demon Bat King knew that he was physically exhausted and could not control such a powerful demonic qi, so he began to slowly shrink his mana, hoping that the demonic qi released could be gradually withdrawn, and the green pillar naturally changed from thick to thin, from large to small. Zixia and Shang An knew that the opportunity had come, so they launched a fierce attack on the demon king with their hands, and the demon king was defeated in less than ten rounds.
"You wait for me, Lao Tzu will come back, brothers withdraw. After the Vampire Bat King gave the order to retreat, he rose into the air again, and soon, the little bat demons on the ground and in the sky all followed it and disappeared into the bright sky.
The two fairies, Zixia and Shang An, summoned the divine beast, found Annie, asked her a long and short question, and then took her out of this dark pine forest. Along the way, Anne kept asking difficult questions such as: Are you immortals, why do you have Xuanmen spells, and so on. This made it difficult for the two fairies.
It was almost dawn, and the morning light drove the pre-dawn darkness to the horizon. There were still moons and stars in the hazy sky, but their appearance began to blur more and more, as if they were covered with a thin veil, and slowly even the outline could not be seen clearly.
Soon the sun rose in the east and dawned.
Anne, who escaped death, was protected by the two fairies and embarked on a journey to find her in the morning sun. At the same time, Kang Tai, who had not slept all night, also took the whole family to look for Anne's whereabouts early in the morning. ------
It's been so long, where did Fang Dongsheng and his gang of thieves go?------
