Chapter 9: Sacrifice

"You should have been allowed to leave first. Sukh hid in the shadows of the forest, staring at the altar in the distance, with some remorse in his words.

They shuttled through the Yanlong Mountain Range for nearly half a day before they arrived here and joined Yang Gang, but fortunately they didn't encounter any other obstacles along the way, and they couldn't even see a single beast, otherwise it might take more time.

"You know it's impossible, why?" Lin Yin'er asked, turning her head to look at Su He.

"I wasn't sure at first, but I guessed a little when I saw the altar. Su He's face sank like water, and the look between his eyebrows was not very good-looking.

"Door?" asked in a low voice from the lean man hiding behind the bushes, he was Yang Gang, who had been monitoring here before, wrapped in a pitch-black combat uniform, with a circle of flying knives hanging from his waist, and the most striking thing was his narrow fingers, which were thin and long, like chopsticks covered with patterns.

Su He nodded: "The pattern on the boulder behind the altar, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a big ...... Xiao Lin, what are you doing!" He looked at Xiao Lin in shock and anger, and shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Lin's eyes were staring at the altar a little distractedly, muttering something very softly, and the whole person was staggering towards that side, stopping and stopping like a marionette in someone's hand.

Liu Shan stepped forward and hugged Xiao Lin back.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin's eyes regained clarity again, and he was a little stunned, he found that Su He and the others were looking at him seriously, as if they were looking at a monster.

"You are probably depressed and want to go for a walk. ”

Su He looked Xiao Lin up and down, his expression was a little solemn, this is not a good phenomenon, they are not a short distance from the altar, but Xiao Lin is still affected.

"I don't know. Xiao Lin tilted his head and thought carefully, "There has been a voice calling me along the way, and I feel stronger and stronger when I get here." ”

After Xiao Lin came here, he found in a trance that there was a golden gate in front of him that exuded dazzling light, circulating colorful brilliance like silk hanging from the sky, and a warm and peaceful aura spread out to wrap him, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction, and the whole person was immersed in that divine breath, and involuntarily walked there.

It wasn't until Liu Shan woke him up that he realized that it was not a gate to heaven, but a ghost gate to hell, and the door was full of blood and fire, killing and destruction.

"I think we should retreat first and not make contact with them. Sukhmo said, rubbing his chin.

"But we finally arrived and left like this?" Lin Yin'er was a little unwilling, "It doesn't have to be related to Xiao Lin, maybe it's just that his cultivation is not enough, and he was affected by that breath." ”

"Can't take any chances. "Sukh is very cautious, they have no idea what the other party has planned, and they don't know anything about those strange gates, and they are afraid that they will suffer unbearable consequences if they act rashly.

"But ......" Lin Yin'er was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yang Gang's hurried words.

"Boss, there's a situation. ”

At the altar in the distance, everyone knelt down in front of the altar, and a priest in black robes wore a strange white mask painted with a strange suddenness, and held a red staff of metal in his hand.

The four women nailed to the shelves in front of the altar had long since turned into dried corpses, and the whole person was black and shriveled, and did not take a human shape.

Blood flowed all over the altar, and at this time, a blood-red light was shining from the altar, and the boulder began to tremble, and as time went by, it became more and more intense, and the blood-red gate engraved on it seemed to come to life, and there was a phantom reflected in the sky, and the shadow of a giant gate flickered.

With the emergence of the giant gate, Xiao Lin's whole person began to tremble violently, his mouth let out a painful roar, and there were some sporadic black flames on his body beating, and a huge shadow behind Xiao Lin quickly approached, turning into a huge vortex, and there was a strange sound in the vortex, and then there was a sound of something shattering, and a huge gate with blood was about to be squeezed out of the black shadow.

Su He's face changed greatly: "Lao Liu, you protect Xiao Lin, if the situation is not right, retreat quickly, and the others follow me to interrupt the sacrifice." ”

Everyone acted quickly, Su He rushed forward and swept towards the altar, in mid-air, the long sword in his hand was swung out one after another, and several brilliant sword lights roared towards the altar.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Suhe!" The one-armed officer who had been hiding in the shadows, holding a sword in his right hand, rushed towards Suhe like a bird of prey, and several sword flashes also stopped Suhe's attack.

"I'll leave this to me, and you go and destroy the altar. Su He shouted at Lin Yin'er and Yang Gang.

"Hehe, you can't stop the sacrifice once it starts, you're too slow, Suhe. The one-armed officer laughed triumphantly, his hands moving without stopping, and the long sword he swung into battle with Sukh.

Lin Yin'er and Yang Gang quickly rushed to the altar, and more than a dozen soldiers were waiting with swords in hand, and in the shadows in the distance, several soldiers with long-range guns were facing them.

"It's been a long time since I've done a big job. Lin Yin'er was not timid but a little excited in the face of this scene, the light flashed, her hands were covered with a layer of blue fur, and her entire palm turned into a beast claw, with a fingered tiger on it, and a long roar fought with more than a dozen soldiers.

"Old Yang, I'll hand over the miscellaneous pieces in the distance. Lin Yin'er shouted without looking back.

"Don't worry!"

There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Yang Gang's mouth, his movements were also not slow, the tips of his fingers as narrow as chopsticks opened a hole, his ten fingers moved, and the fierce fire rose into the sky, dozens of rapidly rotating bullets, making a piercing sonic boom, shooting towards the gun-wielding soldiers in the distance.

The originally calm mountain range was chaotic in the blink of an eye, with firelight and thunder intertwined, and shouts of killing were everywhere.

After Xiao Lin's severe pain, the whole person began to be in a trance, he was obviously in the center of the storm, but he felt that all the sounds seemed to be far away from him, and bursts of echoes sounded in the distance.

The giant gate behind him descended further, and the black gas in the sky gushed out, like a huge palm about to wrap him.

Liu Shan shouted, his palms were folded, the ground shook violently, and dozens of rock pillars rose from the ground, slamming into the giant gate, holding it to death, preventing it from coming to this world.

Xiao Lin roared, and with a wave of his palm, the pitch-black flames swirled and flew into evil ghosts, blasting towards Liu Shan.

"Xiao Lin?" Liu Shan didn't dare to slack off, this black flame was too weird, making him extremely afraid, and he didn't dare to resist so he could only retreat.

As soon as Liu Shan left, the huge rock pillar was suddenly crushed by the black flames, and the gravel was sprinkled on the ground.

Without the obstruction of external forces, the giant gate suddenly squeezed out of the vortex, and after a while, it came behind Xiao Lin, the black mist was like a sea, tumbling violently.

"Not good!" Su He was shocked when he saw Xiao Lin's change, and he wanted to rush over.

"Suhe, where are you going, stay with me, let's be closer. "How could the one-armed officer let Sukh leave at will, and immediately pestered him to hinder him.

"Get out!" Su He's face sank like water, and the Qingshuang Sword swung continuously, and dozens of sword lights weaved into a net, enveloping the officer.

The one-armed officer did not dare to slack off, holding a sword to meet the enemy, although his tone was frivolous, but he never dared to despise Su He in his heart, he was originally inferior to Su He, and now he has a broken arm, and his combat power is even more sharply reduced, and the slightest carelessness is the end of death in battle, but fortunately, his task is only to entangle Su He, but he can barely do it.

On the other side, Lin Yin'er and Yang Gang were also anxious, the light on the altar became more and more intense, and the phantom of the giant gate in the sky became more and more staring, far away from the giant gate behind Xiao Lin, and there were fluctuations in the void that were imperceptible to the naked eye, linking the two doors together.

But the dozen or so soldiers surrounding them did not entangle with them too much at all, and immediately fled away after missing the blow, trapping the two of them here in a dilemma.

The fire on Xiao Lin's body rose further, and the whole person was held up by the black mist, suspended in the air, followed by a giant door, he floated up and swept towards the giant door in the sky.

Liu Shan was in a hurry, his palms swung out in unison, and dozens of rock cones rose into the sky, bombarding the giant gate, and the "bang" sound was loud, but it couldn't stop the giant gate even the slightest.

Liu Shan gasped for breath, his eyes were full of anxiety, he had no ability to fly into the air, so he could only stomp his feet on the ground.

Hot and cold, two opposite feelings appeared on Xiao Lin's body at the same time, he hung in the air, his eyes were a little misty looking at the giant door in front of him that was emitting light, very familiar, feeling familiar, like shuttling through a long history, finally seeing each other again.

The two doors got closer and closer, and the people who were fighting stopped their movements in unison, and looked up at the strange scene in the sky in unison, but the officers were all happy, while the Suhe and the others had gloomy faces.

The two doors stagnated at a distance, Xiao Lin suspended between the two doors with his eyes closed, there was not a trace of sound between heaven and earth, and everyone stared at the sky without daring to breathe.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the two doors opened quickly, and from each of them stretched out a huge palm, and the black mist was rolling, and there were huge dark scales shining on them.

The two palms were closed in the air, and Xiao Lin's whole person was shrouded in it, and the huge black flame and mist spun rapidly, wrapping him into a large black cocoon.

A blood-red light lit up on the altar and rushed up, shining on the black cocoon, and the entire sky turned black and red, and almost everyone on the continent saw this abnormal change.

Four figures rose in the sky above the four empires at the same time, a strong man with a tiger's back, an old man with a fairy wind and bones, a dignified and elegant woman and a middle-aged man in a green robe, the four of them looked at this scene from a long distance with different faces, and were silent.

At the same time, in an unknown corner of the mainland, a towering mountain cliff stood, and a scholar in white with a folding fan in his hand stood on the edge of the cliff, carrying a pot of wine in his left hand, also looking up at the sky, with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and a deep voice came out of his mouth, as if whispering to his lover.

"I haven't seen you for many years, are you okay?"
