"Let's end it cleanly."

Ling Yun held the knife in his left hand and launched an attack on Du Han first with a move. This seemingly rash move was actually to test the opponent's strength, and Ling Yun was not sure if Du Han, who was controlled by the monster, still had the original combat skills. The latter's stance seemed casual, but he was not indifferent to Ling Yun's attack.

Du Han simply took out his knife neatly, quickly blocking Ling Yun's attack, and he didn't just blindly resist. When the two blades were holding each other, Du Han's blade suddenly flashed with blood, and a violent and ferocious aura attacked him like a fierce beast.

"It's actually a demon sword——!

"Z-dang!"

Du Han took advantage of the moment when Ling Yun was out of rhythm and instantly pulled down the blade, wanting to attack from below. Ling Yun was surprised to notice that the pressure on the upper end of the blade had become lighter, so he reacted in time and hurriedly sank down the blade. However, Du Han seized this gap and suddenly pulled the knife back a distance, and then slashed out in another direction.

Although the two were close this time, the blade could not effectively attack the lethal position. But you must know that even a little injury in a real life-and-death battle is enough to determine the next victory.

"Demon Sword Pole [Shura]"

Obviously, Du Han activated the demon sword pole of the weapon in his hand. With a slash out, the blood-colored sword light slashed towards Ling Yun with a large cross. The blade is unsheathed and creates a graceful arc. The blade is a silvery white texture of cold metal, and it has

The angular blade and the ripple marks like sharp teeth, the inscription on its side: one knife and ten words, ten strikes and one hundred shadows, one hundred slashes and thousands of traces, and thousands of shadows.

The demon knife pole is the special ability that each demon knife has. Now, Ling Yun is on the verge of danger. However, due to the fact that Tian Congyun's demon knife was extremely domineering, if he used it, it was very likely that Du Han would be injured as well, so Ling Yun always chose to forbear.

But now is a time of crisis, he can't care so much anymore, he can only minimize the power of Tiancongyun to avoid hurting Du Han.

"Demon Knife Extreme..... [Divine Will draws the sword]"

Ling Yun sank subconsciously, and seemed to fuse himself and the demon sword together. A moment later, a knife slashed out. The eyes of the girl watching the battle from the sidelines became exciting, and she seemed to be very interested in Ling Yun's demon sword. However, then, there was no force that could cut off everything, and there was no brilliant and gorgeous light. Ling Yun's knife turned out to be an ordinary knife.

"Wh.... Whatever!"

"Bell ——!"

Du Han raised the knife to block it easily, and then the demon knife in his hand attacked directly beyond Lingyun with the intent of slaughter, this was the second [Shura]. This time, it was no longer an ordinary blood-colored cross, Ling Yun could feel that what was coming towards him was nearly a hundred pieces of sword light.

"Alas..... It's stupid. ”

The crisp but helpless voice pulled Ling Yun out of his thoughts, but the blood-red cross knife light was already close at hand, and Ling Yun had nowhere to hide. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and defend himself against the attack. However, Ling Yun knew very well that with the trick of eating hard with his physical body, even if he didn't die, he was already not far from death.

The sword flashed, different from the pain that Ling Yun expected, and there was no feeling of physical separation. Only a strong force of impact knocked Ling Yun away and fell backwards.

"It's my fault to overestimate your strength, so leave it to me next."

The girl first walked to Ling Yun's side step by step from the rear, looked at Ling Yun who fell to the ground with a faint blue light, and said helplessly. Then he ignored Ling Yun's dazedness and walked between Ling Yun and Du Han.

"Hey! Be careful—"

Lingyun Lingyun stood up and reminded loudly. I saw that Du Han did not stop his movements due to the substitution, and he quickly raised his knife to pose in a flat assault style. The center of gravity of the body sinks, the thumb and index finger of one hand are spread, and the back of the knife is slowly resting on it. His footsteps slowly moved back, and in an instant, he kicked to the ground with force, stabbing forward with a sharp blade and his body shot out with it.

The tip of the knife flashed with a sharp edge, and something seemed to be converging in that point. The extreme chill and dangerous aura seemed to condense several stabbing blows in that blow. Behind his stabbing body, he dragged countless afterimages with him.

However, in the face of this instantaneous attack, the girl chose not to make any movements, despite the sharp blade that was already close in front of her. Still making a blank expression, staring at the tip without even blinking.

"Whew-"

It seemed to be the sound of the body being pierced, and Ling Yun, who was lying behind, could also see it clearly, and the tip of the knife passed through the girl's chest, revealing half of it. His pupils widened, and a strange sensation spread throughout his body, as if his body was filled with anger and murderous aura. However, before Ling Yun could rush towards the girl, he saw that the latter's body was instantly shattered, turning into countless stars.

"Life is the end, life is the accumulating of suffering.

You who are ruled by the spirit of the beast, 'you' who are born of the bones of the beast.

Now is the time to punish your evil thoughts with the technique of creation. ”

As the girl's body turned into a "star" and drifted away, her voice slowly resounded through the corridor. The scattered stars seemed to dance one after another with her singing, each byte leaping out of a different step. They danced and marched forward, surrounding Du Han in front of them.

Then they converged into one point, all connected in a line, forming a circle of light, as if they were automatically drawing some kind of mysterious formation. During this time, the surrounded Du Han still tried to move, but the starlight became brighter and brighter, as if there was a strange magic power suppressing his movements, and he couldn't even wield his blade.

At his feet, there were two circles of light surrounded by stars, and the rings formed by the double circles contained obscure incantations, and at the top a six-pointed star used for the general formation. In the center of the array, the sole of Du Han's feet, was painted with a huge scorpion.

In a flash, all the patterns flowed as if they were spinning in a circle. After a crisp sound, the huge scorpion on the soles of his feet seemed to come alive and emerged from the ground. The thick chelicerae and the tail that stands like a steel whip are covered with numerous tiny burrs.

I saw him twist his body, and the two chelicerae clamped Du Han's legs like pincers, and the sharp stinger pierced his forehead. No blood flowed, no cries of pain. Only his slightly twitching torso, his eyes already widened.

"This is the terrible devil, and under its gaze and countenance, you will have to obey it, because you cannot resist its existence. This array is called the Fifth Magic Array of Mars, and it can expel and restrain non-self-spiritual forces. ”

The girl's voice appeared behind Ling Yun at some point, and she whispered everything that was happening in front of her. The voice was as quiet as water, as if everything in front of her had nothing to do with her.

Ling Yun's strange feeling that suddenly appeared had long since disappeared, and now he only had peace of mind and a little inexplicable fear. At first, he was staring at the magic array and Du Han, but as soon as the girl's voice sounded, he immediately turned his head.

"Just now.... What happened? You.... What was done? ”

Ling Yun was a little vigilant, because the things in front of him were too shocking, and he seemed to be in an illusion.

"Didn't I explain, I'm helping him exorcise demons and get rid of the spirit body engraved in his body. As for what happened to me just now........ You should think of it as an illusion, and people like you who have no magical foundation should be completely incomprehensible. ”

The girl said as she teased Ling Yun. But from beginning to end, she was staring at Du Han in front of her, or the magic circle at the bottom of his feet. Before Ling Yun could speak, he saw Du Han in front of him start to tremble. The scorpion was gone, and he threw away the demon knife in his hand and knelt down in the center of the circle. Holding his head with his hands for a while, and holding his chest for a while, he rolled on the ground in pain, and his mouth let out a heart-rending scream.

I thought that this state would last for a long time, but soon, Du Han lost his movement and fell sideways in the magic circle where the light gradually dimmed, leaving only the sound of gasping.

"The 'operation' is complete, and your friend should be fine now."

The girl no longer paid attention to Du Han's fading circle lying on the ground, but turned her head to look at Ling Yun, who was sitting on the ground with her back against the wall.

"You...."

After the battle was over, Ling Yun took a closer look at the girl and exclaimed:

"Did you just dress like that?"

It was no longer the previous shorts, but a long white dress made of silk. The girl's skirt fluttered, looking particularly white in this dark space, and the feather pendant still hung down from her neck.

"That's what surprised you?"

The girl was a little puzzled.

"Uh... Nope..."

Ling Yun stood up against the wall, obviously hitting him hard by the violent impact just now. He picked up the demon knife in his hand, leaned his shoulders against the wall and asked:

"You, what the hell...? Why...."

"'Who the hell are you?' 'Why did you come to save me?' Sure enough, that's all there is to it. Okay, okay, you don't have to speak, I'll explain to you why. ”

Before Ling Yun could finish asking, the girl interrupted, obviously understanding the cliché. She stood in front of Ling Yun, pacing as she spoke:

"To put it simply, I have something to ask you for, and I've been following you for almost a whole day, so I'm just in time to save you."

"Something? Track me? ”

Ling Yun listened to these strange words, and seemed to feel completely out of touch with her.

"This story is quite complicated, let me make a long story short, that is, I need to borrow a demon knife, a demon knife that can cut through space. And this demon knife is in the hands of your grandfather Ling Zhenghong. ”

Hearing this, Ling Yun's heart tightened, and the strength of holding the demon knife unconsciously increased, and he thought:

"It's still here, and sure enough, no matter where it goes, it's always his name....."

"My ancestors had an agreement with your grandfather that if they needed this demon knife, the people of my family could go and get it at any time."

Although the girl noticed the change in Ling Yun, she still said to herself.

"Then why are you looking for me, I don't have this knife, go find that old ...... My grandfather, just go to him and get it. ”

The more Ling Yun spoke, the more unknown anger he became, and he almost scolded in the end. However, he seemed to realize that something was wrong, and after saying that, he fell silent.

"That knife is no longer on your grandfather, and I can't contact him, so I can only come to find you, the only heir of the Ling family."

The girl who saw some clues still chose to say bluntly, and after speaking, she deliberately stared at Ling Yun directly.

"What's the use of looking for me, the knife is not with me, and I don't have his contact information. Besides, I have long since chosen to leave the Ling family and no longer be a demon hunter. ”

As he spoke, Ling Yun put away the demon knife, and he staggered the girl's gaze, as if he couldn't bear it.

"Perhaps.... You can give it a try with that knife of yours. ”

To Ling Yun's surprise, he thought that the girl would ask him why he left or something, but she started from the other side. After the girl finished speaking, she stared into his eyes again.

"I ..... I'm not going to pull out the knife again. ”

Ling Yun staggered his gaze again, and even his face turned a little red. However, regarding the matter, he hesitated for a while and chose to refuse. Now that I have decided to leave, going back again is like a lack of determination. However, the girl did not pay much attention to him, but asked again:

"Just give it a try, I won't force you to do anything else."

"I...."

"Not for yourself, at this moment, as your savior, should you also repay it."

"This ....."

"And your classmates, you should know that demon hunters have the physique to summon monsters. Even if you don't draw your sword anymore, you, as a former demon hunter, will endanger the safety of your classmates around you, just like today. ”

“.......”

Ling Yun was completely speechless at this time, she was right, the demon hunter would bring bad luck and cause the gathering of monsters. As long as there is a place where the witcher stays for a long time, then there is an infinite danger.

"It's no longer your time to continue as a demon hunter, let's go."

"Isn't that what you've been looking forward to, why don't you want to do it now?"

"Are you wondering why I know?"

"Not only that, but I also know that you have a strong anger and hatred right now."

"You want revenge, right?"

......

"Do you believe in your weak body?"

"Do you believe that you will always be directed on the right path?"

"Can you persist in fighting for the fate of all things?"

"Are you sure you can fight for good?"

"Can you give up your desires and go to battle without ego?"

Ling Yun recalled once again what his grandfather had said to him and what his parents had taught him. These two words always pop up in his head today, and even make him a little anxious and angry. But after a little thought, it seems to be less uncomfortable. He didn't want to look back at the words that had made him decide with the witcher, and he didn't want to think about what his parents had taught him.

At this moment, at this moment, he wanted to think about what choice he should make as himself. The thought didn't last long, but it was long enough for Ling Yun, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he was struggling to think for a while. In the end, he still raised his head, looked at the girl helplessly and said:

"Whether it's for the sake of gratitude or for the safety of my classmates, it seems that I don't have a choice."
