Chapter VIII
I saw a sharp wave in the shadow on the ground to his left, and a figure had jumped out silently. I didn't expect to be attacked here, and several people were stunned on the spot for a while.
When the three of them found out that the enchantment had been lifted, Zhang Lie had already made a decision, that is, to forcibly rob people. Therefore, while several people were unprepared, he immediately attacked.
Zhang Lie is such a person, he has the intention to attack Zhuo Lingyu and the others at all. felt that there was a flower in front of him, and Zhuo Lingyu had been hit hard in his chest and abdomen, and he bent his body and fell out heavily. With a successful blow, Zhang Lie landed on the ground and shook a few times like a swimming fish, forcing Ying'er behind Zhuo Lingyu.
Seeing Zhang Lie pressing towards her, Ying'er was stunned for a while. was about to make a move, but he heard a low cry from Tianyue pointing at Zhang Lie, obviously recognizing him.
Looking at Ying'er's frightened face and remembering what she had said that night, Zhang Lie's heart moved, and he turned around and turned to Tianyue's side. The spell in his hand was pushed out with a blow and struck at him instead.
As soon as he recognized the enemy Zhang Lie, Tianyue was already shocked to feel a strong wind hitting his lower abdomen. His reaction was not slow, and he was about to avoid it when he was eager to turn to one side, but Zhang Lie, who should have been on the other side, had appeared beside him silently.
"Curse!" With a low snort, Zhang Lie stretched out his palm and wiped it on Tianyue's shoulder.
In an instant, it was as if he was bound by an invisible rope, Tianyue's hands and feet were restrained, and even his little finger could not move a bit, so he fell straight to the ground. Restrained Tianyue with one blow, Zhang Lie did not hesitate to use his body to cover the fallen body, and just shook to the right, and he had been bullied in front of Gu Shi.
At this time, Zhuo Lingyu, who was knocked away by the first blow, fell to the ground. Zhang Lie injured two people in a row, and they were both first-class masters of the young generation of the four major art schools, which shows that his actual combat ability is far beyond what people can imagine.
As soon as he realized that Tianyue had fallen, the comer had already attacked in front of him, and the opponent was far stronger than he imagined. Shocked in his heart, Gu Shi almost instinctively drew his sword out of the sheath, but as soon as the blade was halfway drawn, it was slapped on the wrist by the opponent's backhand, and sent Nan Ming's fire sword back into the sheath, and at the same time, one hand was pressed on the lower abdomen.
"I'm no match for this person at all...", this thought flashed through Gu Shi's mind for a moment.
Just as he was about to strike a blow to this kid, Zhang Lie suddenly felt the muscles behind him tighten, and he immediately waved his hand in front of him before he could think about it. At the same time, a beam of white light flicked in, and a crisp sound was heard, and Zhang Lie's wrists were in sharp pain, and the person involuntarily flashed away.
Once the attack was blocked, it could not continue, and Zhang Lie couldn't help but sigh a pity. Originally, he expected that it would be easy to clean up the four people, but he didn't expect to underestimate the opponent a little.
Looking up, it was Ying'er holding the two swords of Yuehua and Starlight, looking at him in shock and fear, the sword that rescued Gu Shi was sent by her. She opened her mouth slightly, and she couldn't help but pant rapidly, which showed the tension in her heart.
Zhang Lie stretched out his tongue and licked the small wound on his wrist, and couldn't help but regret it. I knew that I shouldn't have let go of this girl just now, otherwise I would have cleaned up the four of us at this moment. At the same time, he was secretly surprised by his hesitation, with his character, he would not have such a wrong judgment, why was he soft-hearted towards this girl?
But this is naturally not the time to blame himself, Zhang Lie said to the two in a deep voice: "If you don't want to die, get out." ”
"Who are you?" As expected, Gu Shi was unmoved, and drew his sword out of its sheath.
Ying'er only had a chance to see Zhang Lie's face clearly at this time, and couldn't help but be stunned: "It's you?" ”
"Ahem... Ying'er, do you know him? Who is he? Zhuo Lingyu, who was seriously injured, barely supported himself and coughed up blood, then asked with difficulty.
"He... I..."The relationship between Ying'er and Zhang Lie is far from being clear in one sentence, and with the nervousness in my heart, I don't know how to speak for a while.
Tianyue, who was lying on the ground, wanted to scream, "This is the monster who killed my uncle!" But because his whole body was restrained by the body curse, he couldn't even move his lips, so he could only be anxious in his heart.
"Little girl, let's meet again. Get out of here, I don't want to kill you. Zhang Lie waved his hand at Ying'er.
Ying'er shrank back in fear, but quickly straightened her sword and straightened her waist: "No, you hurt my two senior brothers, Ying'er will never run away alone." ”
"Really?" Zhang Lie smiled, and then there was a cold look in his eyes that made Ying'er shiver from the bottom of his heart: "Then after you arrive in the underworld, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
"Whew...", exhaling deeply to suppress the fear in his heart, Gu Shi said to Ying'er from afar: "Ying'er, you take care of Tianyue and Ling Yu, let me deal with this monster." "His cultivation is very solid, and he has recognized Zhang Lie's identity.
Knowing that she couldn't play a role, Ying'er retreated as she said: "Senior Brother Gu, be careful." ”
Although he didn't do his best, Zhang Lie didn't take this kid in his eyes, with Gu Shi's cultivation, he was confident that he could solve it within a few moves. Anyway, this place is some distance from the South China Sea Cliff, and I can calmly clean up these few obstacles and then rescue Annie.
Facing Zhang Lie, Gu Shi didn't dare to be careless at all, he stared at the other party with a solemn face, and slowly crossed the sword to his chest. He knew very well in his heart that this opponent would not lose to Anne, who had made them suffer so much that day.
Slowly took two steps forward, and under Gu Shi's nervous gaze, Zhang Liehu made a move. At the same time, all the shadows under his feet seemed to come to life, and they rolled upside down and wound around him.
Shocked, Gu Shi shook the hilt of the sword, and Nan Mingli's sword body immediately burst into a blazing flame. The sword returned to everything around him, and the "shadow touches" that rolled up had all collapsed.
I didn't expect him to be able to break the shadow touch so easily, Zhang Lie let out a low sigh of admiration, and at the same time, his body sank into the shadow of the soles of his feet, and he jumped out from behind Gu Shi in the blink of an eye. At this time, Gu Shi had just dispersed the shadow touch, and before he could take a breath, he felt that there was a flower in front of him, and he had lost the trace of Zhang Lie.
Shocked, almost instinctive, Gushi bent over and at the same time kicked forward and pounced. A strong wind swept overhead, and Zhang Lie's hand knife swinging towards his neck was almost empty.
With the power of the forward rush, Gu Shi twisted his waist in mid-air, and the person had already turned around in the air, and Nan Ming waved out of the fire sword with his backhand. Zhang Lie was about to pursue, and his vision was suddenly filled with a fiery red, and he was also slightly taken aback. He couldn't help but stop and pressed his palm, and then he heard a snapping sound, the flames dispersed, and Gu Shi had rolled several meters away.
Squatting and kneeling on the spot, Gu Shi gasped twice, and looked at Zhang Lie vigilantly. Although there were only two moves in the battle just now, it was more tiring for Gu Shi than the battle of dozens of battles, and the danger was even more dangerous.
Feeling that his back was soaked in cold sweat, Gu Shi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: "Although I knew that I couldn't beat it, I didn't expect that my strength would be so bad." ”
Shaking his hand to relieve the burning pain, Zhang Lie raised his voice and said to Gu Shi: "At your age, your cultivation is already quite good, if you still cherish life, retreat quickly, you should know very well that this is not something you can deal with." ”
Glancing back at Zhuo Lingyu and Tianyue who were lying on the ground, Gu Shi slowly got up and slashed his sword in his chest. He shook his head seriously and said, "Although I don't know what you want to do, but you are a demon and I am a human, since I was bumped into today, even if you sacrifice your life, you will not be able to succeed." ”
Looking at Gu Shi's tall figure, a figure that had been forgotten for a long time appeared in Zhang Lie's mind in a trance. Sighing secretly, Zhang Lie muttered, "It's really similar to that guy four hundred years ago..."
Knowing that it was useless to persuade again, and there was no time to entangle, Zhang Lie nodded: "In this case, I will let you die a happy death." ”
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Gu Shi inhaled sharply as if cheering himself up. It can be seen that he is by no means unafraid of death, but even if he knows that he will die, Gu Shi has no intention of retreating.
Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere became solemn, Ying'er seemed to understand something, and she couldn't help but scream: "Senior Brother Gu, he will really kill you, you get out of the way." ”
Turning a deaf ear to Ying'er's shouts, Gu Shi just shook his head firmly, while holding the hilt of his sword with both hands and whispering a string of incantations. In an instant, I saw a condensed flame like magma rise from the sword body, and it was whirling on the blade.
A hot breath permeated, and the molten flame of the sword body was tightly entangled. In a moment, a one-legged monster bird the size of a harrier eagle, covered in blue, but with a blood-like red beak, emerged from the flames.
Gushi was sweating profusely, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly, as if summoning this thing made him feel extremely difficult. Looking at what appeared on the sword, Zhang Lie also had a surprised expression.
"Bi Fang Bird? It turned out to be the Nanming Lihuo Sword of the Heavenly Master Sect, no wonder you have such a cultivation. It's a pity that you can only summon Bi Fang, one of the sword spirits, if you can summon the 'Golden Crow', you are qualified to play with me. ”
Ignoring Zhang Lie's words, Gu Shi just slowly raised his sword, as if he was ready to make a final fight. There is no way to take this brainless boy, Zhang Lie sighed, and said helplessly: "Fire to fire, let you die without complaint." ”
As he spoke, he saw his right hand raised slightly, and in a burst of light thoughts, a flame condensed, and a lifelike little vermilion bird appeared in his palm, fluttering its wings and fluttering, like a living thing.
With a sharp gaze, Gu Shiyun's sword swung fiercely at Zhang Lie. Seeing that the flame was separated from the sword body, the green flame flapped its wings in mid-air, and it was already slamming towards Zhang Lie with a beam of fire.
With a snort, Zhang Lie calmly stretched out his hand and pointed forward, and the little Vermilion Bird in his palm immediately came out of his hand. Opening his mouth and roaring silently in mid-air, Suzaku's body suddenly expanded, and in an instant, the flames scattered and flew in all directions, and the dark night sky was red.
The two birds collided, and before they could get close, the Vermilion Bird probed its claws and grabbed it. The huge gap in cultivation between the two was irreparable, and he saw Bi Fang's body twisting in the air in pain, and it had been wiped out under the Suzaku grasp.
Gu Shi couldn't imagine that Nan Ming's sword spirit from the fire sword couldn't even block a blow, he was stunned to watch the flames of the Suzaku flying towards him, the whole person was like a bath in fire, and his body was red.
At this time, Zhang Lie had already come to the door of the big house, and when Gu Shi turned into ashes, he had already calmly rescued Annie. Everything seemed to be in his anticipation, but... Things are always unexpected.
Suddenly, I heard a loud shout in the air: "Water Mirror Hide!" ”
In an instant, a beam of clear water appeared out of thin air in front of Gu Shi's body, and the thin water beam flowed lightly, and the head and tail had changed into a circle. At the same time, from the center of the water ring, a ripple-like bright glow swayed layer by layer.
Suzaku pounced into the water ring, but the water ring that should have been vulnerable actually absorbed the thunderous Suzaku like a pocket. At the same time, a little red glow suddenly appeared in mid-air, and the huge Vermilion Bird had flapped its wings and flew out of the void, marking the sky directly.
For a moment, everyone in the audience was stunned, and Gu Shi, who had escaped with his life, had an expression of disbelief. Zhang Lie was startled at first, and then said in a deep voice: "You are Chu Duan?" ”
"Who are you?" With the sound of speaking, a person slowly walked out, it was Chu Duan.
Seeing him, Ying'er exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Chu Duan, why are you here?" ”
"I noticed that there was something wrong with this breath, and I didn't worry about coming over to take a look, but I didn't know that something was wrong. Who is this youkai? Chu Duan asked Ying'er.
After thousands of calculations, it is still estimated that there is such a powerful character in the South China Sea Cliff, and he can detect the subtle changes in the aura of the fight here. Zhang Lie knew that the strength of the comer was far from being comparable to Gu Shi and the others, so he could only give up the idea of taking Anne away for the time being, and instead deal with the new troubles.
Turning his head and glancing at the destroyed house of the enchantment, Chu Duan seemed to have understood, "You're here to save her?" ”
At this time, there was no need to hide anything, Zhang Lie simply said: "That's right. It's not good for you to capture Anne, why don't you all take a step back and let her go, and we'll leave?" ”
After a moment of silence, Chu Duan slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
