The cold wind lifted the dust on the steps, and the dust floated in the air, fluttering under the shimmer of light, as if the busyness and tension had become some kind of distant memory, as if in another world.

Those confusions, rushes, and hardships will all turn into this fine dust, and merge with these floating dusts that are already floating in the air.

Han Chuang brushed away the dust that covered his eyes and slowly returned to the place where he came, Nie Qingqing followed behind him, his head lowered, his hands clenched into fists, and he looked nervous and frightened.

They could already see Dongfang Shuo's figure, a pitch black, falling in the distance, like someone's shadow.

"Don't be nervous, it'll be fine. Han Chuang comforted softly, and when they went further, this comfort suddenly disappeared, and Nie Qingqing's nervousness disappeared with it.

The two of them are like returning to the most natural state, quiet, balanced, and natural.

Dongfang Shuo couldn't help grinning when he saw the two of them coming, if that gap could be called a mouth, then he was laughing, although this laugh was more gloomy than crying.

"You're back. He greeted, and his tone was quite gentle, but Han Chuang heard a kind of gloom from this mildness, like lice lurking behind a gorgeous carpet.

Of course, Han Chuang didn't care, he was ready.

"Yes, I'm here. He replied.

"Everything is complete. Dongfang Shuo asked again.

"Of course," Han Chuang took Nie Qingqing's Soul Suppression Bottle, held it in his hand, and shook it, "No more, no less, exactly ten demon spirits." ”

The gap in Dongfang Shuo's face, which had no facial features, was even more open, like a deep chasm in the Hengduan Mountains.

"Bring it to me. He took a few steps forward and leaned forward, looking impatient.

His hand hung in the air, groping forward, and he wanted to snatch the Soul Suppression Bottle from Han Chuang's hand, but how could Han Chuang let him get his wish, with a wave of his hand, he put the bottle on his chest, and a sneer appeared on his face.

"It's a deal, you know what I mean?"

"You-" Dongfang Shuo's momentum suddenly weakened, because he saw Han Chuang holding the mouth of the Soul Suppression Bottle with only two fingers, and the entire jade bottle was hanging in the air like this, swaying left and right, like a water drop that could fall at any time.

"Of course, it's the deal. He said, his tone trying to remain calm, but the wind that blew between his teeth revealed his desire at the moment, and he was like a hungry beast that could not wait for a hearty meal.

That's it.

Han Chuang laughed, stretching with laughter, but behind this stretch, what was hidden was sarcasm and coldness.

"Then tell me how I can go up. ”

Dongfang Shuo stopped his body suddenly, staring at Han Chuang with empty eyes, as if he wanted to see him through, and after a while, he spoke: "The steps up the stairs are behind me, hand over the Soul Suppression Bottle to me, and I'll let you go up." ”

Han Chuang was not in a hurry to hand over the Soul Suppression Bottle, he stared at the mist behind Dongfang Shuo and sneered slightly, "Behind you, I didn't see anything. ”

That's right, all you can see is a chaotic mist, and no one knows what is hidden behind that fog?

Is it the stairs of the stairs, or the cage of the trapped man, or even the bottomless abyss of murder?

No one can say clearly, just like no one can fully peek into each other's minds, everyone is guessing, some people guess accurately, some people guess right, that's all.

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Are you doubting me?"

Han Chuang laughed out loud and said, "This is not suspicion, it is fairness. ”

"Fair?" Dongfang Shuo sneered, and after a while, his smile closed, and he said gloomily, "I don't understand." ”

Han Chuang pointed to the Soul Suppression Bottle in his hand and said with a slight smile: "I have already brought the bottle and put it in front of you, and you haven't shown the steps upstairs yet, how do I know what is behind you?"

Although he felt that Dongfang Shuo would not lie on this issue, Han Chuang would never easily trust his instincts, just as he would not easily believe Dongfang Shuo's words.

Even the eyes can deceive people, let alone the ears?

Dongfang Shuo said coldly: "I still don't understand what you mean. ”

Han Chuang smiled: "Seeing is believing, but it may not be, let alone hearsay?"

Dongfang Eye's eyes flickered twice, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you seeing?"

Han Chuang said in a condensed voice: "At least you have to see it." ”

A silence suddenly appears, like a blank space inserted into an otherwise smooth note, no matter how short the blank space is, it always feels verbose.

After such a long silence, Dongfang Shuo finally spoke: "No problem, it's a trivial matter." He turned around and began to seal, his two pitch-black hands dangling in the air in various gestures, full of psychedelic colors, Han Chuang believed that if he was a person with a weak mind, he would be easily confused.

Suddenly, he felt Nie Qingqing touching his hand, very slightly, but he did feel it.

"What's the matter?" he asked, lowering his voice.

"His technique is a technique of unsealing illusion, which I have seen in an ancient book. ”

"I see. ”

Han Chuang smiled slightly, and he was already in his chest.

Soon, a deep staircase leading to the upper road appeared in front of the two of them, and Han Chuang looked up and couldn't see the edge. He tried to look forward again, but was blocked by Dongfang Shuo.

"That's it here, I've fulfilled your request, now hand over the Soul Suppression Bottle to me. ”

Han Chuang smiled, "Of course." Throwing the bottle into the air, Dongfang Shuo took a probe step, his body twisted into a strange shape, and finally caught the jade bottle before it hit the ground, he carefully held the bottle, as if holding the hard-won source of life, anyone could see the desire in his eyes, as if there were two fires, burning.

Han Chuang smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Then I'll go up." As he spoke, he walked forward.

"Wait!"

Before he could take two steps, he was stopped by Dongfang Shuo.

"What's wrong?" Han Chuang frowned slightly.

Dongfang Shuo stared at him and sneered, "How do I know that you didn't use your hands and feet on the demon spirit?"

Han Chuang sneered, "Aren't you going to help them regain their senses?" ”

For some reason, Dongfang Shuo's heart was furious when he was stared at by Han Chuang's eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I won't hide it from you, I'm not helping them regain their senses, I'm going to absorb them." ”

"I know that there is no way in this world to help a demon spirit who has lost its mind to regain its senses, but there is a way to help a demon spirit maintain its sanity, and you just want to do it. ”

Han Chuang directly broke Dongfang Shuo's thoughts, since Dongfang Shuo was no longer ready to hide, then why did he still hide it? Open the skylight and say something bright, which is good for everyone.

Dongfang Shuo sneered and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, yes, I just want to use these demon spirits to maintain my consciousness, and I won't tell you that I have been trapped here for three thousand years, and for three thousand years, I have relied on these demon spirits to maintain my consciousness." ”

"I can't leave this square inch of land, so at first, I can only start with the surrounding demons, gradually, the surrounding demons are absorbed by me, I can only set traps, tempt the outer demons;

"So you've made up a lie and tried to use us to capture the demon spirits for you?" Han Chuang sneered.

"That's right!" Dongfang Shuo made no secret of his purpose, "I'm just using you, but you've already seen it, haven't you?"

"That's right," Han Chuang said with a smile, "I only want to enter the next floor of the pagoda, and as for the rest, it's not in my consideration." ”

"Hehehe. ”

Dongfang Shuo let out a cold laugh from his mouth, like the teeth of a poisonous snake entrenched in the depths of the mire, sharp, as if it could cut through Han Chuang's skin at any time.

"You don't have a choice, do you?"

"That's right, we didn't have a choice, so we brought you ten Wils. ”

Dongfang Shuo burst out laughing, and laughter shook every inch of the space. Nie Qingqing grabbed Han Chuang's arm and clasped his fingers hard to hide his fear.

Han Chuang took a deep breath and said coldly, "I seem to understand, you don't plan to get out of the way." ”

"Get out of the way, why should I get out of the way?" Dongfang Shuo sneered, "The Soul Suppression Bottle has already arrived in my hands, and your life and death are also in my hands, now, let me turn you into a powerful ghost in this exquisite pagoda!"

The Soul Suppression Bottle suddenly burst into a dazzling red light, Dongfang Shuo let go of the Soul Suppression Bottle, but the bottle did not fall, but floated in the air in violation of the laws of physics, vibrating violently.

Hearing a bang, the jade bottle exploded, turning into flying powder, and in the middle of the powder, there were ten blood-red balls of light floating.

"Relax, come to me, come to me!" Dongfang Shuo muttered in his mouth, and his eyes burst into two red lights, red like blood.

I saw him open his mouth wide and trigger a strong hurricane, which lifted the ends of his hair, and he looked like a hideous demon.

The blood-colored light cluster was sucked into Dongfang Shuo's stomach, and his originally pitch-black body suddenly lit up. Han Chuang clearly saw his hideous face, his eyes seemed to burn out all the anger, and the blooming blood light formed a flame-like backlight, surging and spinning, like a blood-colored roulette.

"You two!

Dongfang Shuo looked like he had lost his mind, slowly moving forward, and with each step, the place he passed through would surely become an ocean of fire.

Han Chuang frowned, but he still remained calm, took Nie Qingqing's hand, and quietly retreated, and Qingqing's voice came from behind him: "What the hell is he?"

Han Chuang pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "If I guessed correctly, it should be the Netherworld Ghost King." ”

The monk can't say that the ghost king can only exist in the land of nine yin, and it stands to reason that the Linglong Pagoda is a holy thing created by the saints of the human race, and it is impossible to have the land of nine yin, but-

"Why is there a Netherworld Ghost King?" Nie Qingqing asked excitedly.

Han Chuang sneered and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the one at the top of the tower." He seemed to see that behind the blood-red ghost fire, there was a black eye hidden, deep and venomous, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass.

"Demons. Nie Qingqing struggled to pop out of his mouth, and then quickly regained his composure, "What should we do now?" ”

Han Chuang sneered slightly: "Maybe the Nether Ghost King is not something we can deal with, but this one is an exception, have you forgotten?"

"Whew!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a roar from Dongfang Shuo's mouth that was not like a human being, this was by no means the so-called hearty laughter, but a howling sound mixed with pain, resentment, and outpouring hatred.

Han Chuang followed the prestige, only to see Dongfang Shuo half-kneeling on the ground, a strange green light blooming from his chest, and the flames that had originally erupted were actually a little dim.

"What have you done to the demon spirit!" Dongfang Shuo was shocked to find that he couldn't use all his strength, and there seemed to be a substance in the spirit body that restricted the growth of his strength.

Han Chuang sneered slightly and said, "There is a saying in the human world that it is indispensable to guard against people's hearts, and since I know that you are using us, I will be even more wary of you." ”

"What the hell?" Dongfang Shuo stared at Han Chuang closely, his eyes bloomed with resentful light, if his gaze could kill people, I am afraid that at this moment, Han Chuang had been pierced through his heart by ten thousand arrows.

"It's a soul charm. Han Chuang sneered, "I put a soul suppression talisman in the body of one of the demon spirits, although it is not enough to destroy you directly, but the strength to suppress you can still be moved, how much strength do you have left?"

Han Chuang didn't expect Dongfang Shuo to be a Netherworld Ghost King, he originally thought that the Soul Suppression Talisman could destroy it, but he didn't expect that although he was placed, he still had the strength to fight.

It seems that this battle is inevitable, Han Chuang thought to himself.

Sure enough, when Dongfang Shuo heard this, he stared at Han Chuang expressionlessly, as if he had finally found the object to vent his anger and stared at it.

He was still, motionless, like a silent sculpture, but suddenly, his stiff face had a little vivid expression, his eyes were bright, and a smile was on his lips.

"Soul Suppression Talisman?" Dongfang Shuo sneered, "As long as I kill you, it will be time for me to solve the Soul Suppression Talisman in my body." As soon as the words fell, Dongfang Shuo's head shook suddenly, and his long black hair twisted into two strands, like a sharp iron lock, and shot towards Han Chuang.

Han Chuang had expected it and had been secretly on guard. Seeing that Dongfang Shuo suddenly attacked, he didn't panic, the heavy sword appeared in his hand out of thin air, and with a flick of it, he heard the sound of "bell" twice, and the two braids were raised high, between the foggy fighting rooms, like two black shadows that frequently beckoned to him, making people feel creepy.

Han Chuang sneered and said lightly: "It seems that your strength is very limited, and the attack was actually swept away by my heavy sword." "You must know that even the demon boy has the ability to pick up Han Chuang's heavy sword, not to mention the Nether Ghost King, who is even more powerful than the demon boy, and now his attack has been swept away by Han Chuang, this is undoubtedly exciting news.

Dongfang Shuo was not flustered, but instead stared at Han Chuang with a sneer, and said in a low voice: "Do you think you have already won?" I was just testing just now, and the real battle is only starting now. ”

He raised his hands above his head and shouted, "Demon Flame!" The originally dim flame suddenly became extremely bright, and the edge of the orange spark flickered with green flames.

He is like a volcano that is accumulating strength, and his power is constantly climbing and climbing.

"I can't let him save anymore. Nie Qingqing shouted, and at the same time, Han Chuang had already swung his heavy sword upward, and saw him take a serpentine step in front of Dongfang Shuo, and the heavy sword was raised high and slashed down with all his strength.

The dark sword body split the flames and hit the top of Dongfang Shuo's head heavily, only to hear the sound of "bell", like the sound of metal colliding, the sword body burst out of a spark, but Dongfang Shuo didn't move at all.

"How so, why doesn't my epee work on him. Han Chuang thought to himself.

He was extremely confident in his heavy sword, believing that there were few people in this world who could not dodge or dodge, and still take the heavy sword from the top of his head without injury, but Dongfang Shuo in front of him made him doubt the heavy sword.

"Is it because I don't have enough strength?" almost subconsciously, he performed the same move again.

The simplest and most powerful of the heavy sword, he could easily split it even if there was a hill in front of him.

And yet—

There was another "bell", this time because of the excessive force, his whole body was shocked out, he didn't want to believe that it was true, but the pain in the tiger's mouth clearly informed him of this fact.

How can it be!

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were full of ridicule and sneer, "Nothing is impossible, at this moment, I am King Kong's incorruptible body, and nothing can hurt my body." ”

He slowly got up and threw a punch at Han Chuang, his fist spinning, triggering a violent whirlwind, and the flames that he was enveloping shot out.

"Be careful!" Nie Qingqing shouted.

Without Nie Qingqing's reminder, Han Chuang naturally twisted his body and flashed to the side, the flame grazed his shoulder, but it made an arc in the air and shot towards the back of his heart.

Han Chuang turned on his ability to enter the micro, knowing that this fireball would come back, he used a move Su Qin's back sword to block the heavy sword in the back of the heart, and the flames accurately hit the sword body, Han Chuang's body staggered, and he almost fell.

"Brother Han!"

Seeing this, Nie Qingqing immediately wanted to run over, so he heard a loud shout: "Don't come over." As soon as the words fell, a flash of fire stabbed into Nie Qingqing's chest like a sharp sword.

"It's good to come!" Nie Qingqing's eyes were cold, the short sword was unsheathed, and the wind and rain dancing on his chest were impervious, condensing into a mist-colored shield, but this light actually penetrated the shield and continued to shoot at her.

She was shocked in her heart, and said secretly: "This strength is extremely sharp, like a divine weapon, and it cannot be hard-connected." Between thoughts, his body had turned to the left, dodging the fire, but he was far away from Han Chuang.

Dongfang Shuo laughed loudly and shouted: "Dare to plot against the old man, today is the day you die!" His hands were abruptly separated, as if he was holding a jade pillar in his arms.

Just a few times, nine pillars of fire rose from the ground, trapping Han Chuang in the middle.

Dongfang Shuo sneered: "Boy, I'll let you taste the taste of demonic fire refining your heart today!"
