Chapter 18: The Wind and the Clouds

When I returned to the inn, it was completely dark, as long as it was night in this kind of small town with a bad climate, every household would soon close to rest, the guys in the store cleaned up the lobby, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and greeted him, Xiao Qianye looked up at the quiet upstairs and asked, "Has the doctor been here?" ”

"I've been here, I've prescribed medicine, and now I'll let Ah Niu follow me to the hospital to get medicine." The guy replied seriously, but saw Xiao Qianye frowning, and asked suspiciously, "After reading it so soon, I went to grab the medicine?" ”

"Doctor Chen is the most powerful old doctor in our Fulong Town! Danzhen Palace didn't dig it up even if he wanted to! Obviously, he didn't understand the true meaning of Xiao Qianye's words, and the guy patted his chest seriously and promised, "Second son, don't worry, although the sparrow is small, the medicinal materials in our town are enough, or you go back to the house to see the eldest prince first, he said before that it was too cold for us to prepare a stove, which will make the house warm." ”

"Hmm." He answered casually, stepped on the stairs and was suddenly attracted by a thin spider silk on the handrail, and suddenly a bad premonition arose, Xiao Qianye instinctively clenched the sword spirit and quickly looked around the lobby, the guy "oops", followed with a hippie smile and ripped off the spider silk, and explained embarrassedly, "The store is too busy these days, and we all have serious cleaning in this kind of corner, hehe, hehe...... Don't mind, second son, I'll let people come over and clean it up again! ”

"Wait." Xiao Qianye shouted to stop him, and his eyes followed the spider silk and already noticed a green spider lying on the wall.

Wrong...... This feeling that makes people chill in the back, something is wrong!

In the next second, the sword spirit hooked out the sharp sword qi and swept directly across it, and the cold wind swept through the lobby, instantly forcing out dozens of spiders hidden in the shadows, and those same glow-green eyes were rolling around, as if something seeping behind them was staring at the two of them.

There was a low noise at the door, and the candle flame was almost extinguished by the wind, and the man shuddered with fright, and muttered, "Ah! How are there so many bugs! It's not, it's not...... We really cleaned every day, and we didn't be lazy! ”

"Insect control." Xiao Qianye's eyes were solemn, and he caught a glimpse of a similar fluorescence outside the gate that was swept open by the sword qi, and he gasped and raised his sword to chase it out, and a dark cloud suddenly shrouded over the dark Fulong Town, and in a blink of an eye, a blizzard swept in, and from time to time lightning broke through the clouds, showing an ominous and dull aura, as if he was deliberately trying to block his steps.

"Childe, Childe!" The guy who had never seen such a scene was so frightened that his voice was out of tune, and he hugged his arm and begged without doing anything, "Childe, don't go, thisβ€”Isn't this the legendary forbidden technique of the White Sect?" Oh, save me, I didn't provoke them! ”

The strange fluorescence swept away from the city, Xiao Qianye was anxious to shake off his guys, and then paused at the moment of rushing out of the lobby, and after a short moment of hesitation, he lowered his voice and told word by word: "Stay here and don't run around, besides...... Xiao Yibai is not allowed to leave, this is an order. ”

The guy blinked, and when his brain reacted, there was no longer Xiao Qianye's figure in front of him.

Before and after only a quarter of an hour, he chased from the city to the outside of the city like lightning, the night of the blizzard raging, the cold wind was blowing like a howling ghost, and the originally flat snowfield suddenly revealed an undulating shadow like a mountain peak, just at the moment of his hesitation, the spider's eyes flashed like ghost fire, through the dim halo, he immediately noticed Yan Ming and Xiao An who were swept into it by the inky storm a hundred meters in front of him and could not get out.

Xiao Qianye's heart was shocked, and he didn't have time to think about anything, he didn't hesitate to rush out a sword to stir up the strange wind, and with one hand he wanted to pull the two back to his side, but the air seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and the stalemate of just three seconds made his arm tendons burst out and produce violent spasms.

The spider on the left side actually showed a hint of a smile that only humans have, Yingying's eyes raised to look at him, the tentacles trembled slightly to reveal a sense of vigilance, and the seemingly slender spider silk in his mouth stabbed at the three of them like sharp arrows!

Xiao Qianye's fingers slowly tightened, and the seven-turn sword style accurately hooked the sword under his hands, and at the moment when the countless spider silks were cut off by Qiqi, the sword spirit turned around and smashed the nearby spiders, and finally pulled the two out of the strange wind.

"Xiao An, Xiao An!" Yan Ming, who escaped death, didn't care about the scars cut by the spider silk, holding the unconscious girl and constantly calling her name, Xiao Qianye stared cautiously around, and the afterglow swept over the two of them - the woman who was arguing with him just now was already angry, a spider silk pierced through her forehead, thin blood was oozing from that extremely small wound, and the bright red blood dripped from the miserable white cheeks into the snow, turning into weird big flowers, which made people creepy.

The spider on the right let out a short sneer, its mouth dragged the spider silk, like a marionette directly dragged the unconscious woman, Yan Ming was taken aback and wanted to pull her back into his arms, just the moment he subconsciously stretched out his hand, Xiao An's eyes suddenly widened, and the blood dripping in the snow before slowly solidified into ice thorns, which she grabbed as a weapon and stabbed it directly!

"Be careful!" Xiao Qianye pressed Yan Ming's shoulder, and the moment the sword spirit picked up the ice thorns, he smelled the same bloody breath as the night before, and the wind that had been stirred up just now took shape again, and the rolled snow beads were also dyed with a strong evil qi, and sure enough, one after another the same blood-red necromancer teeth burst out.

"Back off." Xiao Qianye ordered in a cold voice, and the sword qi spread overwhelmingly around him, and the white light was like the bright moon in the dark night, but Yan Ming did not hesitate to hold his arm and shouted out in a gaffe, "Don't kill her!" She's Xiao An, she's Xiao An! Son...... Childe, don't make a move! ”

At the last moment, the spider silk who seized the opportunity deftly avoided the sword qi barrier and attacked the two of them in a winding way, and the girl who was controlled mechanically swung the ice thorn, but after a while, the whole body was injured by the spider silk and the sword and the blood flowed.

Xiao Qianye could only be forced to pull Yan Ming back and retreat, the wind was a ghostly smirk, just when the two of them were about to retreat to the city wall, another chilling spell fell from the sky, like a thunderbolt falling directly along the spider silk crackling and burning the spider controlled by the insect control technique!

Who...... Xiao Qianye was secretly shocked, as soon as he looked up, he saw a white figure sweeping down the high wall, a small arrow was drawn from his sleeve, he instinctively wanted to raise his sword to defend himself, only to realize that the opponent's arrow was precisely slashed towards the wall behind him!

There was a loud "bang", and the wall was pierced by thin arrows, revealing a huge hole.

Xiao Qianye gasped, only to see a spider larger than a hound being pierced through the abdomen, and countless small spiders rushed out, and they were frozen in place by the spell and couldn't move.

Immediately, an unfamiliar voice came into his ears, obviously beside him, but it was so ethereal that it seemed to be isolated from time and space: "This is a female spider, only by getting rid of it, will no new little spider be born." ”

Xiao Qianye suddenly came back to his senses, the man in white had already withdrawn his weapon in this short second of distraction, passed by him and quickly cleaned up the scene, a few steps away, this person was shrouded in a layer of quiet white light, as illusory and unreal as a celestial man.

The man paused, raised his head at him, he couldn't see his face while wearing a white jade mask, but the thrilling ice blue pupils under the mask made Xiao Qianye feel a chill in his back: "Such a large female spider needs to be raised for at least ten years, although the power is not very strong, but the controllable distance can reach about 100 miles, generally used for surveillance and eavesdropping, this thing has been raised in Fulong Town for a long time, and it has never caused trouble." ”

Xiao Qianye's eyes were staring at this mysterious person who suddenly appeared without blinking-the white clothes only swayed slightly in the gale, calm and steady, making him strangely familiar, completely different from the sneak attack he encountered in Binghe that night, this person would actually give him a sense of gentleness like a spring breeze? What is the origin of the White Sect? No, if it's someone from the White Sect, there's no need to help him at all, Governor Gao? It's impossible, if Governor Gao's people should take advantage of the fire to rob, then who is he, why did he suddenly appear outside the city at such a time, and kill the female spider so skillfully to help him get out of danger?

The man in white seemed to notice his gaze, and deliberately avoided it and instead pointed to the scarred girl and reminded: "Fortunately, this female spider is not poisonous, as long as the spider silk is broken, it can cut off the control of the speller, but the skin injury should be quite serious, hurry up and take it to the doctor to bandage the wound to stop the bleeding." ”

"Yan Ming, come into the city to find a doctor." Xiao Qianye decisively ordered, and he stared at the mysterious man in white without moving, walked over with his sword, and said coldly, "Who is Your Excellency, how about taking off your mask to show your true face?" ”

The man in white waved his sleeves, and the seemingly gentle wind directly blocked his steps, and the ice blue pupils under the mask closed slightly helplessly, but his eyes were gloomy: "It's just that I saw you in distress when I passed by, so I just helped with me, don't care." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qianye didn't appreciate it, the sword qi was invisibly resisting the wonderful wind, and continued, "Although the White Tiger Legion has retreated, at the moment, Fulong Town is still under the control of the military pavilion, and I have the right to demand that everyone here obey the order. ”

The corners of Xiao Yibai's mouth twitched, and he was bitter in his heart - a moment ago, he disguised himself as a doctor and secretly left the inn in a blind way, but he didn't take a few steps before he noticed that the wind around him had a familiar spell atmosphere, which was undoubtedly the insect control technique that the Bai Sect was used to, as a person who had come here several times to negotiate with the Great Commander Cen Ge, he naturally knew that there were several large female spiders in Fulong Town that were used to monitor the movements of the White Tiger Legion, and he was a little worried about this younger brother who was not good at spells. He turned around and followed, and then it turned into an embarrassing situation that he could neither walk nor stay in.

Xiao Yibai quietly controlled the wind to prevent his younger brother from getting too close, the military pavilion did have this privilege, once the commander decided that he was a dangerous enemy, even if he helped one second, he might still be beheaded by the sword the next second.

He sighed irritably, he actually regretted it after instinctively making such a reaction, even if he didn't make a move, with Xiao Qianye's strength, he should quickly detect the location of the mother spider, his move not only exposed his whereabouts, but also delayed the best time to go to Qianji Palace to find Cen Ge.

While he was thinking about how to get out as soon as possible, there was a crisp "click" sound that broke the silence between the two, Xiao Yibai silently raised his head to look at the source of the sound, and his pupils also contracted violently because of shock - the wind barrier he condensed with spiritual power was hit by the sword spirit in the other party's hand out of a mirror-thin crack, and it was visibly suspended in mid-air with the naked eye, as if a special mirror really appeared between the two!

"It's so powerful, I used three moves in a row to use the Seven Turning Sword Style, and I only broke through such a small opening." Xiao Qianye stared at his movements, while turning his wrist again with ease, and after a few consecutive "clicks", Xiao Yi swept to the rear and retreated, without waiting for him to stand firm, the white sword spirit clinged to his cheek and almost directly slashed the white jade mask, he immediately stabilized his balance and waved his sleeves to fight back, and then took a step back, countless sword shadows suddenly appeared behind him, like an unbreakable high wall, he really felt that his back was clinging to something cold, and every inch of skin was faintly painful!

Xiao Qianye's eyes stopped on those ice-blue pupils, remembering something mysterious from the family, and an unprecedented inner fluctuation made him grit his teeth: "I repeat, take off the mask." ”

The other party's eyes were bottomless, and the ten fingers were jumping with wonderful spiritual skills, along with his movements, the little spider that was frozen by him actually moved again, Xiao Qianye was startled and could only retract his sword to defend himself, the spider spit out dense filaments, although it looked like a web of heaven and earth, but each one avoided him accurately, it seemed that he just wanted to trap him, the more abnormalities, the more suspicious Xiao Qianye became of this person's identity, just a few seconds later, his wrists and ankles were all wrapped around spider silk, And the mysterious man in the white jade mask also seized the opportunity and swept out without hesitation.

"Hmph." He stood silently and let out a sneer, not noticing that his pupils were also a flash of ice blue at this moment.

It was also at this moment that Xiao Yibai, who had not yet gone far, was stabbed all over his body by the sudden gaze, and subconsciously turned his head to look at him from afar, his heart stopped beating briefly as if he had been shocked, and his ice-blue eyes? It was the eye of the beast, a precursor to an outbreak!

The scene of the uncontrolled destruction of the door is vivid, and Feng Ji's reminder sounded like a nightmare - the ancient species, the legend is that it is a race that has been replaced by fierce beasts after devouring the gods, your bloodline is very dangerous, if you can't control it, it will evolve into the same indiscriminate killing as before.

In the next second, Xiao Yibai directly turned around and returned to him, but the wind pulled by ten fingers changed from cold to warm.

Since the destruction of the door, he has been secretly studying the method of restraint, whether it is magic or martial arts, if a person wants to reach a higher realm, he must try to break through his own limit, and the dangerous bloodline of the fierce beast will explode uncontrollably in this situation on the verge of the limit, only by finding a certain subtle balance point, he can prevent similar tragedies from happening again, Xiao Qianye is his only blood relative...... No matter what, he has to protect this only relative!

After the battle resumed, the figures of the two were staggered in the wind and snow under the city wall, and the confrontation between swordsmanship and spells was evenly matched, while Xiao Qianye had a special throbbing that he had never experienced before-at a certain moment just now, his body seemed to be rapidly changing several rounds in extreme coldness and heat, so that the swordsmanship that he had always been proud of had deviated from the angle several times, and he could not even accurately control the strength of the sword, but the opponent's spell always had the warmth of a spring breeze to soothe this strange restlessness again and again.

Until the sky shone slightly, the white long sword finally seized the opportunity to approach Xiao Yibai, the light of the tip of the sword seemed to rise to the eyes and directly attacked the white jade mask, Xiao Yibai tried his best to maintain his balance, and it was difficult to dodge the sweep of the sword blade at such a close distance, but in the next second, he felt a stinging pain in his neck, the sword qi cut through the skin, and the blood soaked his shoulders along the placket of his clothes, just when Xiao Qianye wanted to seize the opportunity to directly remove the other party's mask, the wind changed awe-inspiringly, and he was also difficult to dodge because of the distance, Hit in the chest by the gale, he staggered back dozens of steps in a row before he could barely stand firm.

The two looked at each other, the white mist raised by the wind and snow was getting bigger and bigger and obscured their vision, Xiao Qianye impatiently dispersed the fog, and then fixed his eyes only to find that there was no figure of the man in white in front of him.

He stood silently, with an uncontrollable suspicion in his heart, and immediately turned and hurried back to the inn.
