Chapter 22: Save Xu Wanqing Again

It was not the first time that Chu He had seen Xu Wanqing in distress, before in the Shadow Forest, he had seen the beautiful woman being chased by a giant wolf, and it was almost to the point of running out of oil and drying up.

But this time, although Xu Wanqing has been fighting to the death for a day and a night, the situation seems to be much better than last time.

The last time Chu He saw Xu Wanqing, she had been chased by the giant wolf and was embarrassed, with colors hanging everywhere on her body, and her sword was a little unstable. But this time, although she was also chased up and down by more than a dozen ghost soldiers, she was not too seriously traumatized, she was not stained with much dust in white clothes, and her spirit seemed to be good.

This time, Chu He didn't dare to watch the play anymore, now he and Xu Wanqing are grasshoppers on the same rope, and it is not self-interested at all to harm others.

Chu He's movements were quite fast, and his arrival did not attract anyone's attention, Xu Wanqing's face was still grim, and she was engrossed in dodging the attacks from the ghost soldiers, looking for an opportunity to break through.

Xu Wanqing's cultivation is even weaker than that of Chu He, after all, she has entered the Qi refining period for a shorter time, but the ghost soldiers around her are all in the early stage of Qi refining, and they are not yet suppressed by cultivation.

The human cultivators of this era, due to the influence of martial arts cultivation, are generally not inferior in combat power even compared to the strong demon beasts, let alone these ghost cultivators who have no advantages.

Although Xu Wanqing's sword spirit has not yet been reborn, it has also fully awakened, and with a luxurious magic weapon on his body, it is not difficult to fight two or three ghost soldiers alone.

I saw Xu Wanqing gently shake her hand, and a jade bracelet on her left wrist automatically fell off, and it quickly smashed towards a ghost soldier. Before it could be smashed, the jade bracelet in flight was already glorious, and the holy and noble aura enveloped the audience, and the momentum of the ghost soldiers was stagnant.

It was this stunned god, and the ghost soldiers could only watch as the jade bracelet drew a bright light, and smashed it down on the head of an unlucky ghost soldier, and it was directly smashed into ashes!

Xu Wanqing seemed to have expected it, seeing that the jade bracelet had smashed out a way, her body moved, and she rushed towards this side without hesitation. While retracting the jade bracelet, I saw that her right hand raised the water sword, swinging out a series of water-blue ripples, gently blocking the surrounding ghost soldiers.

After all, the intelligence of the ghost soldiers was not as good as that of ordinary people, and it was not until this time that they really reacted, and they all roared angrily, brandishing their weapons and slashing at Xu Wanqing.

Xu Wanqing's Qinshui swordsmanship learned was mainly defensive, but the water blue ripples could not block the attacks of more than ten ghost soldiers of the same level, and they were blasted in an instant, and the three-headed ghost soldiers had already come behind her.

Her situation at this time is actually very similar to Chu He's before, but Xu Wanqing's methods are obviously more diverse, unlike Chu He, who can only rely on Liuli to resist.

After the jade bracelet instantly killed a ghost soldier, the brilliance had dimmed a lot, Xu Wanqing seemed to cherish this treasure very much, and did not use it again, but sacrificed a small seal.

The small seal was dark yellow as a whole, and its power was obviously not as strong as the previous jade bracelet, and it only smashed a ghost soldier back a few steps. But that's enough, as long as it doesn't prevent Xu Wanqing from escaping.

Xu Wanqing's escape technique is no worse than Chu He, as long as she gets rid of the state of being besieged, she will soon be able to get out of danger. However, there was only one small seal, and Xu Wanqing had just had time to take it back, when the other two ghost soldiers rushed behind her, and the two knives fell.

Su Mei frowned slightly, this genius girl who was not easy to practice was not in a hurry, raised her hand and took out a dark red bead from her arms, and smashed it behind her without looking back.

And the direction was wrong, Chu He, who was rushing towards this side, was already dumbfounded. Xu Wanqing used this series of methods, except for the Qinshui Sword Technique, he didn't even know any of them!

This person is more angry than people. He had the cheekiness to ask his sister for a magic weapon, and took the opportunity of the sect's mission to ask for a piece of clothing, but people took out a dozen of them casually...... Not to mention anything else, the grade of the jade bracelet will never be slightly worse than the glass clean clothes!

However, Chu He also knew that there was no way to do it. Most of Xu Wanqing's treasures were given by the family, and the treasures of the young master of his Chu family...... Ahem, when Chu Xiang killed the real Chu Sishao, he had already been taken by the other party to "resist stubbornly".

If it weren't for the big gap between the two sides, Chu Sishao wouldn't even have a chance to draw his sword, I'm afraid Chu He wouldn't have been able to set up the plan of abandoning the sword and following the sword.

Chu He moved forward at full speed with a gloomy face, now he doesn't expect the hero to save the beauty, just catch up with the other party. Since Xu Wanqing is so confident, it shows that the power of the dark red bead will not disappoint him.

"Boom!"

As in all novels, this kind of dark-colored beads are often explosives, and a loud explosion sounded, and the thick smoke suddenly blocked Chu He's vision. But he didn't need to look at it to know that the two ghost soldiers must have been pushed away by the impact of the explosion, and they were no longer a threat to Xu Wanqing.

Unfortunately, things always turn around at times like these.

"En?" Chu He obviously heard a sound of surprise coming from the thick fog, and hurriedly looked at it, but it was the ghost soldier who was smashed by the small seal before, and he didn't know when Lu Dao rushed up again, and it was a knife on Xu Wanqing's head.

Xu Wanqing suddenly fell into a dilemma. If you turn around to block this knife, it will inevitably slow down your speed, and the other two ghost soldiers will immediately catch up, but if you don't turn back...... Xu Wanqing also has a defensive magic weapon, yes, but what magic weapon can protect the head? This is not an online game, a piece of clothing and a whole body defense......

"Let's go!"

Just when Xu Wanqing was slightly bitter in her heart and was about to find another way to break through in desperation, a loud shout interrupted her train of thought.

The girl in white looked back in shock, but saw a bright red sword sliding down, directly splitting the ghost soldier in half. The strong wind was blowing, and the terrifying sword pressure made her faintly feel palpitations. But Xu Wanqing also knew that now was not the time to speak, and her footsteps did not pause at all, and rushed straight ahead.

With all his strength, he slashed a ghost soldier with a sword, Chu He was slightly satisfied in his heart, and followed Xu Wanqing's steps and rushed straight out of the dense fog area. With the speed of the two of them, since there was no ghost soldier to restrain them, they naturally easily got rid of the pursuers and quickly settled down.

Xu Wanqing took a heavy breath, and then she had a chance to turn her head and look at this lately arrived companion.

"Chu He, why are you!"

Chu He had already expected Xu Wanqing's reaction, and he didn't pay much attention to it, he took out a spirit stone and sat down cross-legged, recovering the consumed true qi, and said casually: "Senior Brother Zhuang came to send me the task sigil." ”

Xu Wanqing was stunned, and then understood what the other party meant. Her own introductory task was also issued by Zhuang Zheng personally, and it stands to reason that Zhuang Zheng doesn't need to do this kind of thing at all, but the other party did it.

Thinking about himself and Chu He, isn't this obvious?

A wry smile appeared on the face of the girl in white, and she secretly sighed in her heart: Senior Brother Zhuang, Senior Brother Zhuang, you tried your best to create a chance for me and this person to be alone, but I didn't expect that before the ice released the suspicion, I almost took my life into it......

After sorting out her thoughts, Xu Wanqing was slightly stunned, and looked at Chu He who was sitting cross-legged on the ground a little strangely.

She felt that Chu He had changed a little, and he had become very different from before, but she couldn't tell what was different. In the past, he didn't seem to be so sharp when he spoke, right? In the past, Chu He was arrogant and straightforward, and he didn't like to beat around the bush when he spoke, and he definitely couldn't do it like now, and he could give himself insight into the overall situation in one sentence.

What's more, he actually sat down by himself to recover his true anger?

Xu Wanqing could naturally see that the other party had just rushed into this small secret realm, and it was not easy to deal with the dozen or so ghost soldiers with different cultivation outside, but the overall injury was much lighter than her, so it was good to recuperate.

According to common sense, in such a dangerous environment, she should protect Chu He first, wait for him to adjust quickly, and then let her recuperate with peace of mind.

But...... How could he really do that!

Xu Wanqing suddenly felt a deep estrangement from the other party. The other party can rest assured that he will be in the hands of himself, which is a sign of great trust, but compared with his previous behavior, Xu Wanqing is a little difficult to accept.

Changing the previous Chu He, no matter how heavy his injuries are, no matter what the situation is, he will definitely let himself recover from his injuries first, even if it is more risky. For Chu He at that time, this was not only out of admiration for Xu Wanqing, but also a manifestation of the demeanor of the children of the family.

Of course, the current Xu Wanqing will not know that the person sitting in front of her is no longer the fourth young master of the Chu family, but an outsider who does not speak of grace at all......

"Could it be...... Did that really hurt him so much?"

silently put away the Qinshui sword, and the girl, who was still in a state of half-understanding about the relationship between men and women, muttered with some doubts.

I don't know if Lu Dao heard her talking to herself, a faint smile hung on the corner of Chu He's mouth, and soon he slowly opened his eyes, got up and arched his hand: "There is Senior Sister Lao, Chu's injury is no longer in the way." ”

The age difference between the two is not big, and it is not much important to say that they are brothers and sisters of the family or sisters of the family, but this title makes Xu Wanqing feel particularly harsh. If Chu He was still as domineering as before, the girl would not feel anything, but his anger was completely gone, and the attitude of a passer-by made her more and more unacceptable.

Chu He didn't know that the other party still had such complicated thoughts, he just considered it purely from the perspective of improving the relationship between the two parties. In any case, saving people is a foregone conclusion, if you take the risk to save people and still fight with the other party, isn't it a big loss?

Seeing that Xu Wanqing was silent for a long time, he thought that something was wrong with this woman, so he took two steps forward and said, "Senior sister, you have nothing to do, right?"

Xu Wanqing suddenly looked up at him, she felt that this scene was faintly familiar, but out of her mind for this title, this emotion was also suppressed: "Don't call me senior sister." ”

"En?" Chu He was slightly stunned, and finally understood the other party's thoughts, and replied with some amusement, "Then what do I call you?"

Xu Wanqing glared at him, snorted coldly, ignored him, and sat down directly to recover.

Chu He smiled bitterly helplessly, and said in his heart that this girl's temperament is really not suitable for being a heroine......
