Giant trees are towering.

The demon tide gathered densely in the dark night, rolling in a steady stream.

They killed too deeply, and almost came to the hinterland where the demon tide gathered, and were temporarily separated from several other disciples.

"Why are you here?"

The snow-haired black-clothed girl complained, frowning, she waved the sword in her hand, and her true qi showed a faint red color on the blade, and the demon turbidity that attacked was dissolved, turning into black mist under her blade in batches.

"Hijacking on the road...... Well, I saved a few disciples and delayed for some time. ”

With Xiao He helping on the side, Lin Shouxi's pressure was reduced by half, and the action of swinging the sword and slashing was more comfortable, the tip of the sword was like the tip of a pen, and demons and evil could not enter outside the line.

"Am I late?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"You're early." Xiao He said angrily: "If you come later, I'll kill it alone." ”

"......" Lin Shouxi was silent for a moment and said, "I see, then I'll rest for a while." ”

As he spoke, Lin Shouxi put away his sword and jumped, and his figure jumped to the high branches of the big tree on the side.

“？” Xiao He was shocked, she looked up, and said angrily: "Hey, you're angry with me, right?" Believe it or not, I cut down the tree! ”

Lin Shouxi pretended not to hear it, and seized the time to breathe and heal.

The demon tide was still approaching, Xiao He had no time to deal with him, she looked around and swung her sword into a circle. The first batch of stronger, wolf-like demons have resisted the past, and the latter ones are much weaker, they are shaped like grasshoppers and leeches, but they are superior in numbers.

Xiao He killed for a while, and felt that her hands and feet were sore, she also stepped on the trunk of the tree and jumped up, pushing Lin Shouxi's back, "It's your turn." ”

Lin Shouxi didn't refuse, he fell in the air, twisted his wrist and waved, and the blood-snatching sword with red light swept through the demonic turbidity, and the sword qi was agitated, like a tidal wave washing away the dust.

In the darkness of the night, they rested against each other against the big trees, alternately drawing their swords to resist wave after wave of demon tides.

I don't know how many rounds have alternated, Lin Shouxi killed demons below, and never saw Xiao He come down from the tree, he thought that Xiao He had encountered some danger, and quickly looked up, but saw that she was sitting on a branch and dangling her legs and looking into the distance, very leisurely.

"You haven't rested yet?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Xiao He is too tired, rest for half a pillar of incense...... Xiao He stretched out on the tree and said.

"When you are rested, you can come down and collect the body of your senior brother." Lin Shouxi sighed.

"Senior brother, hold on!" Xiao He cheered up, but he didn't mean to come down to help.

Lin Shouxi took a deep breath and stabbed left and right in the encirclement of the demon tide.

"Shouldn't our senior brothers and sisters be trying their best to kill demons after they meet, why are they still intriguing?" Lin Shouxi asked helplessly.

"You didn't go up to the tree first?" Xiao He smiled and said, "How can you be comfortable up there?" ”

"Is the tree your senior brother or my senior brother?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Of course it's you." Xiao He said firmly.

Lin Shouxi finally got a little comfort.

Xiao He patted the trunk of the tree again, and swore that "Senior brother, if you unfortunately die in battle, I will cut it down and make a coffin for you!" ”

Lin Shouxi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally jumped up to the treetops and pushed Xiao He down.

This pair of friendly brothers and sisters worked together to get rid of the demon.

The demon tide is getting smaller.

Lin Shouxi was almost rested, and he also jumped back to the ground, taking turns with Xiao He again.

He fought for a while, and suddenly the crisp voice of a girl came from behind him.

"Senior brother, I'll help you."

Lin Shouxi was stunned, he didn't expect his junior sister to take the initiative to help, he turned back with emotion, but he was stunned again.

Coming in front of her was a girl in black clothes and black hair, the girl was delicate and cute, far less beautiful than Xiao He, and her figure wrapped in black clothes was not as delicate and convex as Xiao He. She called out to her senior brother and enthusiastically walked with her sword raised.

Lin Shouxi's astonishment was only for a moment, his pupils quickly returned to coldness, and he stabbed back with a backhand sword, piercing the girl's heart and nailing her whole person to the tree on the side.

"You...... Why ......"

The girl couldn't suppress the shock before she died, she opened her mouth wide, her mouth spitting black blood, but the follow-up words were indescribable.

Xiao He noticed the changes that happened below and jumped to his side, "Senior brother, what happened?" ”

She glanced at the black-clothed girl who was pinned to the tree next to her, and was also taken aback.

"How can she ...... with me" Xiao He wanted to speak and stopped.

"She took on your form and tried to get close to me and backstab me." Lin Shouxi took over.

"How did you recognize this? If you were wrong, wouldn't I have been killed by you? Xiao He pinched her face, and her heart palpitated, "This is too similar, isn't it?" ”

“……”

It was difficult for Lin Shouxi to describe the scene in his eyes, Xiao He sighed in amazement, 'true likeness', and praised the craftsmanship of the monster, but in his eyes, these two little girls looked completely different......

"No matter how powerful the demons and monsters are, I won't fail to recognize Xiao He, because you are my only junior sister." Lin Shouxi said without changing his face.

"Really...... Really? Xiao He's eyes widened.

"Of course." Lin Shouxi said firmly: "Senior sister is irreplaceable. ”

Although this sentence was simple, Xiao He's heart was still filled with wisps of emotion, she turned her head sideways, tied up her hair, and said firmly: "Senior brother, I'm rested, I want to fight side by side with you!" ”

Lin Shouxi nodded with satisfaction.

He glanced again at the girl who was pinned to the tree.

The monster that had transformed into Xiao He's appearance had risen black smoke and turned into a rotten human skin.

This monster is a monster sealed in this forest, and it has assassinated countless people in this way during its lifetime, and has failed only once.

It was more cautious after this awakening, and had been watching them in the shadows for a long time before the assassination began, mimicking every detail vividly.

But the sword was so crisp and sharp that it didn't have time to pull it out of the body of the new painting.

This old monster that should have been difficult ended up with confusion and hatred.

With the death of this monster, the screams of the demons in the dark night gradually became quieter.

……

……

Ah Shi didn't know if he was still alive.

He ran tiredly, his hands and feet numb, and there was a cry in his ears, it seemed to be the voices of twelve and thirteen, who seemed to be alive too.

Lin Shouxi didn't know what was going on, he hadn't heard him speak for a long time, only the faint sound of the demon being chopped up in the dense forest in the distance.

The demon tide was too strong, and they didn't dare to rush into the forest, so they could only take a detour.

I don't know how long it took, Ah Shi finally saw the firelight, and there were several disciples standing there, as if searching for something.

When they saw Ah Shi, they also waved vigorously.

Ah Shi and the other two hurriedly ran over, inquired a little, and knew what was probably going on.

They met a monster in a ruin, it was Xiao He who appeared to save them, and then on the way, they met two more disciples, after learning that the seal was invalid, the disciples wanted to escape back under the white wall, but Xiao He tried to defy the crowd and insisted on going north.

The reasons she gave were similar to those given by Lin Shouxi.

"What about Miss Xiaohe? Where is she now? Ah Shi asked.

"I don't know, there was a sudden movement before, and a large number of demons surged over, she asked us to hide here first, and go to the front to see by ourselves, and we haven't come back yet."

The disciple was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you see her on the way here?" ”

"Nope." Ah Shi shook his head and asked again, "Have you seen Lin Shouxi?" ”

"Lin Shouxi? Is that cartilage here too? ”

"Shut up!" Thirteen snorted and defended, "He's our savior!" ”

"Save ...... A lifesaver? ”

The disciple was momentarily frightened by the thirteen fierce eyes, and he didn't dare to ask anything, just shook his head: "We didn't see him either." ”

"Shall we go to him?" Twelve questions.

"Don't make a mess." Ah Shi repeated Lin Shouxi's words.

Several disciples gathered in a ruined ruin, anxiously waiting, and the night surrounded them as long as it seemed like it would never pass.

Such a catastrophe happened so suddenly that many survivors have witnessed the killing of their partners.

Some disciples were suddenly covered by the monster that suddenly appeared through the body, picked up like a meat skewer, twisted off their heads, and gnawed their limbs, some disciples suddenly knelt on the ground with their stomachs covered, and one after another spikes pierced out of his body like cocoons, dismembering them, and some disciples found that there was a blood hole in their lower abdomen when they untied their clothes, and a face in the blood hole was smiling at themselves......

These images are destined to be a lifelong nightmare for many witnesses, who are simply insignificant in the face of fearsome predators.

I don't know how many disciples of the Demon Slaying Courtyard have died, and the survivors are temporarily gathered in this ruin, trying to escape but can't find the direction.

The boundless darkness makes people dare not gaze, and death is like an arrow on a string, which can pierce them at any moment.

I don't know how long it took, the torches planted next to a few stone pillars shook, and in the firelight, a faint figure came.

"What people!"

Ah Shi reacted the fastest, drew his sword, and the others also stood up vigilantly and drew their swords in unison.

In the firelight, Lin Shouxi and Xiao He dragged their swords back.

Lin Shouxi's ink hair was scattered, his delicate and pale cheeks were stained with blood, and the long sword in his hand reflected the light of the torch, and he was singing to himself.

Xiao He was wearing tight-fitting black clothes, her petite but slender figure was vividly outlined, after a long time of killing, her body exuded a knife-like awe-inspiring killing intent, she was no longer a girl, more like a piece of new iron quenched from fire and cold water,

They walked together, with an indescribable sadness, and the jade plates around their waists turned a rich red color.

Behind them, although the black smoke and fog had not dissipated, the originally restless tide of demons had quieted down, and it was hard to imagine how many demons they had killed together.

"Are you alright?"

Ah Shiyi was stunned and immediately asked with concern.

"The demon tide has temporarily receded, let's rest for a while, please go around and inspect the surroundings, if there is any situation, you must tell us in time." Lin Shouxi said solemnly.

Ah Shi nodded vigorously.

The rest of the disciples looked at Lin Shouxi, their faces changing unpredictably.

They never imagined that this young man, who was looked down on on weekdays, would join forces with Xiao He to repel the demon tide, and judging from Ah Shi's story, this young man was terrifying.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He sat down against each other, Lin Shouxi meditated cross-legged, Xiao He muttered 'so tired', and then leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes tiredly, and fell asleep.

They themselves couldn't remember how long they had been killed.

The black tide turned into black smoke under their swords, until there was no more sound between the dense forests, and it was as dead as a grave.

After repelling the demon tide, he and Xiao He found their way out of the dense forest and found this place.

Ah Shi went to negotiate with the other disciples and assign them tasks, but Thirteen and Twelve came over, and the two knelt in front of Lin Shouxi together, each took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and handed it to Lin Shouxi.

"Thank you Lin Gongzi for saving your life."

After going through so many things, Thirteen is still a little arrogant, she lowered her head and apologized sincerely, and Twelve was not good at words, so she nodded vigorously, indicating that he was the same.

"What is this?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"This is the Jade Liquid Pill, which is the reward for slaying evil in the evil pool every month, and it took me half a year to save this." Thirteen explained carefully.

The Jade Liquid Pill is a unique elixir refined by the Wu family, and its effect is nothing special, it is nothing more than nourishing the spiritual veins and restoring true qi, but for cultivators who have not been getting started for a long time, this elixir is precious and abnormal.

Ah Shi also took out his jade liquid pill and handed it to Lin Shouxi.

"You are the strongest, and the consumption of true qi is intense, so don't shirk it." Ah Shi said.

"I didn't want to excuse myself."

Lin Shouxi smiled, took the porcelain bottle they handed over, poured out the mung bean-sized pill, and ate it.

The other four also looked at each other, and in the end, they also took out their cherished jade liquid pill and put it in front of Xiao He, thanking her for saving her life.

Lin Shouxi ate several jade liquid pills in a row, his chest and abdomen were hot, and his pale cheeks regained a little blood.

He looked at Xiao He's quiet side face leaning on his shoulder, "Why don't you eat?" ”

"I don't want to eat it." Xiao He said.

"Then I'll eat it for you." Lin Shouxi went to get the jade liquid pill in front of her.

"Hey!" Xiao He's head was erected from his shoulder, glaring at him, "Do you have a conscience?" ”

"Shall I feed you?" Lin Shouxi asked.

Xiao He was silent for a while, leaned back on his shoulder, his nose fluttered, and he snorted.

Lin Shouxi took out the jade liquid pill and sent it to Xiao He's lips, Xiao He took it into his mouth, chewed it carefully, and after eating one, he hummed softly, waiting for the next one.

When he ate a certain one, Xiao He bit it hard, licked it, and then felt a little wrong.

"You've bitten my finger." Lin Shouxi reminded loudly.

"You...... Excessively. Xiao He's eyes were round, a little angry.

The rest of the disciples laughed in unison when they saw this scene.

They didn't have any jealousy anymore, and when the two of them came back hand in hand, the words 'match made in heaven' almost passed through everyone's hearts.

The effect of the Jade Liquid Pill was better than expected, and after sweeping away all the Jade Liquid Pills, the true qi of the two of them recovered a lot.

"Senior brother." Xiao He suddenly called him.

"Huh?"

"If the youkai later are too strong, you will break the red rope I gave you." Xiao He said.

"Red rope? Does it serve any purpose? Lin Shouxi asked.

"Hmm...... Anyway, you can only break it when you have to, or I'll break you. Xiao He snorted lightly.

“…… Good. Lin Shouxi tied the red rope more tightly.

……

The darkness of the evil pool is boundless, and the monsters that have never been seen before are crawling out of the seal, each of them has a huge number of unique knowledge, and they take pleasure in killing people and bloodthirsty, but Lin Shouxi has no fear in his heart.

In the time that followed, the demon tide was surging several times, and the monsters attacked many times, but they were all killed by Lin Shouxi and Xiao He.

They cooperate extremely tacitly, and the interspersed moves and the transition between offense and defense are all smooth, as if they are not two people, but the same person's distraction.

The seven surviving disciples followed behind them, accepting their commands, and after saving the danger several times, they admired Lin Shouxi and Xiao He so much that they didn't have the slightest dissent, and they were also obedient to the decisions they made.

And most of the monsters that were killed were the same as 'Xiao Jiu', they thought that they had endured for hundreds of years, and once they were born, they would be able to stir up the storm, but before the morning sun was seen, they became the souls of the sword in the dark night.

The disciples realized that in the mutated pool, the identities of the hunter and the prey had changed silently, and it was no longer the demons who attacked, but Lin Shouxi and Xiao He who led them one by one into the lair of these monsters and killed them.

Over time, the disciples even felt that the two of them were the biggest monsters, and there was nothing that the sword could not cut through wherever they went.

No wonder the gods choose them.

There was a dead silence in the pool of evil.

They didn't know how long they had been walking through the barren forest and swamp, and suddenly there was a glimmer of light in front of them, and everyone's hearts hung again.

In the darkness of the night, the light becomes a dreaded thing.

The glimmer emanated from the end of a staircase, a dilapidated courtyard, the bronze statues and stone tablets beside the courtyard were all broken, and the figure stood between a tombstone, with a lonely back, as if mourning the deceased.

Lin Shouxi and Xiao He stopped.

The man seemed to sense the coming, too, and turned around leisurely.

After seeing his true face, the disciples breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to kneel and bow.

Xiao He also frowned, and his expression changed.

Only Lin Shouxi held the sword tighter.

Standing in front of the tombstone and smiling at them was none other than ...... Cloud real people.
