05 Humble souls
Qing Zhan smiled faintly, and his usually arrogant smile was so amiable and soothing at this moment. He turned his gaze to the man who was kneeling on the ground, walked up to him, looked down at the man who looked so humble in front of him, and said, "Fang is the commander of Lu to protect you?" β
Wuluan nodded tearfully, "It's all useless to blame me, if I know how to do swordsmanship, I might be able to help him, but... But I can't do anything, but I'm so desperate to protect me, Iβ" He had a pain in his throat, and it was hard to continue.
"It's not your fault, it's only the demons that destroy humanity, what do you say?" Qing Zhan's words seemed flat, but they were so sharp.
When Wuluan heard this, he raised his head sharply, looking at Qing Zhan, his dark black pupils were full of surprise and confusion, and after a long time, he reacted, nodded in agreement, and said fiercely: "Yes, the most hateful thing is those demons, either for their own pleasure, or for their own selfish desires, or they think that they are very capable, and they always plunder other people's lives at will, this kind of demon is the most hateful." Wuluan's words were a little excited, he seemed to realize that he was talking too much in front of Shaojun like this, so he lowered his head again, returned to his cowardly appearance, and said, "I... I'm talking nonsense, so naturally I don't dare to compare it with what Shaojun said. β
Qing Zhan smiled faintly, his tone was a little gentle, "Get up, I don't have so much time to talk to you, no one can take care of you now, you follow me by yourself, as for whether you will be attacked by demons, I don't care, it just depends on whether you can keep up with me." β
After Qing Zhan finished speaking, he quickly turned around and returned to the camp, while Wuluan hurriedly followed, closely following him, afraid of being one step behind.
There were still hundreds of demons hovering in the air, waiting for an opportunity to attack the remaining people, and when those demons saw Qing Zhan, they seemed to be more interested in Qing Zhan, and they all rushed towards him.
Qing Zhan brandished the Bixuan Sword and slashed at these demons again and again, if in the past, with his own spiritual power, he could kill hundreds of demons with a single sword swing, but because of the battle for more than two hours, Qing Zhan's spiritual power has been consumed to the point that there is not much left, not to mention that when he was in the Northern Flame Land, he was seriously injured many times, and it is a miracle that he has not recovered from his injuries until now.
As the blade of his sword stabbed into the throats of demons again and again, piercing their heads, the power of the battle was disappearing little by little. His pale face now seemed so bleak and desolate, no one had seen him so embarrassed and haggard for so long, and now he had lost his former magnificent aura, and some were only a bitter battle mixed with flesh and blood.
Seeing that they couldn't attack him from the front, the other three demons went around behind him and attacked in three directions on the left and right sides, and Qing Zhan struggled with the demons in front of him, unable to take care of his back. Wuluan, who was staying behind Qing Zhan, saw the demon attack and said to Qing Zhan: "It's up to me to deal with them, Shaojun, be careful!" β
Wuluan picked up the sword that Qing Zhan had given him, and ran a few steps forward, stabbing at the three-headed spider monster. Qing Zhan didn't expect that he would dare to fight against the demon in order to save himself, a cowardly man, but for a moment he was stunned, he saw that the sword light behind him changed direction, and the sword was not stabbing towards the three-headed spider, but stabbing at his back heart.
The distance between the two was only a foot, and the distance between the sword blade was only half an inch from the back of his heart, Qing Zhan wanted to dodge the sword blade but it was difficult to dodge, he only felt a pain in the back of his heart spread to his brain, and finally to his whole body.
At the same time as the sword pierced his heart, he only heard a beautiful woman's voice in the air, the voice was familiar and kind, Qing Zhan looked up into the air, and saw that dark blue, reflected in his eyes like the sky, her face was still so beautiful, still so noble and arrogant, only to hear her shouting again and again: "Qing Zhan, Qing Zhan!" β
Qing Zhan looked at Jielan who came back from picking herbs, smiled softly at her in the air, and said softly: "You are finally willing to call me by my name, the first time I have heard you call me like this." β
His eyes were full of tenderness and joy, and he looked at the sky in a daze, facing the blue figure under the scorching sun, and his heart only felt so comfortable and soft.
And the young gentleman who was stabbed by himself behind him did not let out a cry of pain, did not struggle with death and despair, did not rebuke and grieve, but seemed so happy and relaxed, as if this sword did not cause the slightest damage to him.
Wuluan was a little angry, he drew his long sword, and Qing Zhan could clearly hear the dull sound of the blade rubbing against his own flesh.
Yin red blood spurted out, dripping on the yellow land, he looked back at Wuluan, there was no grief in his eyes, no hatred, at this moment he regained his former brilliance, he smiled proudly, his eyes were full of disdain, his hand suddenly reached out, like lightning quickly pressed down Wuluan's hand, and then slapped hard, the force on Wuluan's hand was actually pressed down by a strong force, his hand naturally opened, the sword detached from his hand, and fell to the ground.
He looked at Qing Zhan in horror and confusion, unable to believe that this man could be so calm and calm after being hit by his own sword. And subdued yourself so easily.
The corners of Qing Zhan's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a smile with a faint evil aura, and said, "If you want to kill me so easily, I'm afraid you're too naΓ―ve." β
Seeing Qing Zhan's look, Wuluan was surprised in his heart, he knew that if he didn't escape, he was afraid that he would die under the hands of this young monarch, he suddenly shouted, and suddenly, Wuluan's form began to change, his eyes were scarlet prominent, his mouth and face were protruding, his fangs were exposed, his ears were raised, his hands turned into sharp claws, and his body also had the fur of beasts.
He hooked his claws at Qing Zhan's wrist, and a deep blood mark was made, and Qing Zhan's hand hurt and let him go. Taking advantage of this, Wuluan jumped a few steps back, keeping a distance from Qing Zhan.
At this time, Jielan, Chengfeng and the others rode back to the ground on the riding beast.
Jielan and Tan Qi hurriedly rushed to Qing Zhan's side, while the Black Pig Qi Xue Chengfeng and the others joined the battle against the demons.
Jielan walked quickly to Qing Zhan's side, she looked at the seriously injured Qing Zhan and was a little overwhelmed, she only felt a faint pain in her heart, and she was about to cry, "You... How about you? Are you hurt? β
Tan Qi suddenly pushed Jielan away heavily, and said angrily at him: "Shaojun is so badly injured, are you blind and haven't you seen it?" It's not all thanks to you. Tan Qi was originally disgusted with Jielan, and Shaojun's injury had nothing to do with her, so he scolded Jielan so loudly.
Jielan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say? She felt extremely sorry, thinking that even if she said anything, it would be useless, she turned her back, for some reason, the tears that had not been shed for a long time were flowing down at this moment, silently, but she tried her best to endure it, trying her best not to let Qingzhan and Tan Qi see it, because she did not want to show her cowardice and grievances in front of them.
Jielan looked at Wuluan who had turned into a half-demon form in the distance, and millions of thoughts flashed in her heart, and she couldn't believe that the once cowardly but sincere and kind Wuluan had now become like this, she walked towards him, and Wuluan couldn't help but retreat in fear when she saw Jielan walking towards her.
Jielan paused and asked, "Why did you become like this?" Why do you want to sell your soul to demons, are you still the same Wuluan I know? Do you do this worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you? β
"Get out of here!" Wuluan roared loudly, "You made me like this, and now you are still talking big in front of me, kindness? Hey, what's the use of being kind? Kind people will only be used and trampled on, what good is it to be a human being? Incompetent and useless, you will only be forgotten, spined upon, and despised, when you were in the Holy Spirit Mountain, didn't you monsters who thought you were great just rely on your demonic power to escape? But what about me? But I can only be crushed alive under the boulder, I can't move, I can only wait for death, it is you who do not come to save me, it is you who have abandoned me, it is you who tell me that useless people should end up like this, so I don't want to be a lowly human being, I don't want you to look down on me anymore, I want you all to kneel at my feet, so that I can be happy, hey! Wuluan let out a weird and arrogant laugh, and that laughter made Jielan feel extremely heavy.
She never thought that it was just because she didn't save him at that time, so that he chose to sell his soul to let the demon invade his body, it was his own fault, but even if it was his own fault, he shouldn't have survived in this way, let alone sacrifice so many people's lives, just to prove that he was not an incompetent and cowardly person?
"Is that why you're going to kill so many people? Killing Luoma, Lu Yu, and even attacking Shaojun, do you just want to prove how capable you are now? β
"They're all the most hateful people? That man named Lhoma despised me, insulted me, and was the one who spoke out to stop you from saving me when I was attacked by the Bonebreaker, how could I keep such a hateful person? And that young king of the royal city, when I was crushed under the Holy Spirit Mountain, he didn't let you come to save me, I heard it, I heard it, ha, you see how ugly and evil you are, you are the same as me, no, more ugly than me, even more disgusting, now I am returning it to you, hehe, you have tasted this pain! "The hideous-looking Wuluan now looks like an out-of-control devil, walking here with his grievances, his curses.
Jielan didn't know what to say, in the face of such a fallen soul, she wanted to pull him, but she didn't know what to do? After all, this man killed so many people that he almost killed Luoma.
Qing Zhan stepped forward covering his wounds and asked loudly, "What about the commander of Lu You?" What about me? The next person you want to kill should be Young Master Xuanming, in this way, the army will be completely destroyed and disintegrated, and your mission will be accomplished, right? β
