Chapter Forty-Eight: A Desperate Encounter

Yun Xuelan felt that she was in an endless desert at the moment. The sun is scorching overhead, and the scorching yellow sand is under your feet. The boy seemed to have been running in this vast sea of sand for a long time, unable to distinguish the direction, and seemed to have been running in place. Yun Xuelan's mouth was dry, and her throat seemed to be stuffed with dead branches and bellflowers. At this moment, the boy has been scorched, and not even a drop of sweat will seep out.

The boy felt the hot yellow sand under his feet become softer and softer as if it had melted, and his feet were quickly swallowed up, followed by his knees. The sky swirled, and suddenly dark clouds covered the sun, and the sky rained. Yun Xuelan used the last of her strength to open her mouth, letting the rain fall into her mouth and then swallowing greedily.

"Phew...... Puff ......" followed by a weak coughing and wheezing. Yun Xuelan, who was lying flat in the ruins, turned her head with difficulty and spit saliva mixed with blood. Then search around with your eyes. Seeing the little beast tofu hiding behind Ding Ye and showing his head to look at him, Yun Xuelan saw the smug cunning and a little weakness in his eyes, and remembered that he had drunk the sweet rain like elixir and jade liquid before, and suddenly felt that his mouth was not retching a few times.

"Brother Lan, you're awake. Ding Ye's voice was filled with joy and fear.

Yun Xuelan squeezed out a sound from her throat, and the pain around her body made the young man regain some clarity. Only then did he notice the ruins he was in and the black-robed man who surrounded him and Ding Ye. These people were unmasked, and the young man under the moonlight could see the irrepressible banter under their indifferent expressions, as if he wanted to see the last battle between the two of them.

Yun Xuelan smiled bitterly, the severity of the injury and even the strength of the twitching of the corners of her mouth felt extraordinarily extravagant.

When he was besieged by the first wave of black-clothed men before, although the other party was all monks from the Lower Martial Realm, the other party was like a swarm of locusts, and he was not afraid of death. The other party obviously knew that Yun Xuelan had a square inch charm, and there were a lot of them. The other party's attitude is also extremely clear, not really to kill the boy, but to exchange human life for the square inch talisman in the boy's hand and consume his strength. Five lives in exchange for a square inch of you, no loss. If it can still disrupt or interrupt the flow of your breath, and make you overstretched, it will be a small profit. Anyway, the most important thing is human life, and the least valuable thing is human life. We have dozens or hundreds of lives here, but you only have one. If you're lucky enough to leave a wound or two in time to dodge, you're a big profit.

It's just that this group of people never expected that the young man not only had a square inch talisman on his body, but also a five thunder shock demon talisman. This talisman is recognized as the most lethal and one of the most difficult to draw in the Taoist talisman lineage. The people who can be completely drawn in the various veins of the inheritance of the talisman and the power is not too much shrunk, I am afraid that there are only two hands today, all of them are extremely high in the ancestral hall spectrum, and the five thunder shock demon talismans they draw are all regarded by the sect as the treasure at the bottom of the pressure box related to the life and death of the sect, so this talisman is almost extinct in the world, and its preciousness can be imagined.

And Yun Xuelan used the talismans obtained in the tomb before, and the talismans used to draw these talismans were the cyan runes that were left in the world when the Dao Ancestor rode a bull and ascended, which can be called the best of the best. There is a basis for the number of things that exist in the world. Use one and you'll be peerless. If those old guys in the Dao Gate know that there is actually a Heavenly Milk Realm martial artist who can't do his best to urge this talisman, and violently destroys the heavens to deal with a group of Lower Martial Realm martial artists, I am afraid that no matter how immortal the old man and the old immortal will be scolding the nineteenth generation of the ancestor of Shangyun Xuelan. Then he was so angry that he bled and knelt in front of the statue of Sanqing and cried for a few days and nights.

Yun Xuelan didn't know the preciousness of this talisman, and why didn't it hurt. If used correctly, a single golden rune paper with five thunder shock talismans can raze an inferior first-class force to the ground. What's more, it is the blue paper talisman held by Yun Xuelan. During the battle, the young man judged the other party's intentions, and knew that these people were just pawns, if they didn't clean up as soon as possible and wait for their means to press the bottom of the box to be forced out by the other party one by one, or if they were exhausted, the other party's real killing moves would be difficult for him to deal with. He gritted his teeth and threw the talisman. After all, there is only one life, and no matter how stingy you are with money, these are only things outside your body.

It's just that Yun Xuelan himself underestimated the power of the Five Thunder Shock Demon Talisman in his hand. Fortunately, he is still a monk in the Lower Martial Realm, and he uses the method of killing chickens and eggs to urge the talisman, and most of the energy in the talisman is lost. If you enter the middle martial realm and drive with vitality, there may be no more living beings in the entire mountain. Although the power of the talisman was drastically reduced, Yun Xuelan, who was also not as good as before, was also seriously injured. The flesh and skin of his body were almost scorched by the thunder, and several joints and bones were broken.

Fortunately, Yun Xuelan refined a round of moon spirit into the body, except for a few acupuncture points that had not yet been opened or showed signs of loosening. There is no serious damage to the inner world and meridians. Yun Xuelan also quenched his body with thunder in the tomb. Therefore, the physical toughness also allowed the boy to escape. It's just that the boy spied into the inner world, and the thunder arc circulating in it has long been gone. I can't help but feel some regrets.

Yun Xuelan looked miserable at the moment, but ninety percent of it was a wound, and it would be healed within a few days after taking some tendon-building pills. The boy lay on the ground because of his exhaustion of physical strength, and did not move. Let Ding Ye and the black-robed man not far away stare at his flesh and blood naked. Yun Xuelan, who didn't even have the strength to speak, used all the strength she had left to wink at Ding Ye, and motioned to her companion to find a fig leaf for herself. The few intact parts of the flesh on the body made this group of old men look good. It's just that Ding Ye didn't care, and mistakenly thought that Yun Xuelan's face was distorted because of the pain of his injury.

Among the black-clothed men surrounding the two people and the beast, one of them put the silk cloth painted with the portrait of Yun Xuelan in his hand into his sleeve. The man seemed to run out of patience, raised his hand and was about to wave it down, when a python roar sounded from behind everyone. Immediately afterwards, everyone present suddenly felt that the temperature plummeted, and it seemed that they were in the Nine Cold Pools.

Everyone dressed in black turned around in unison, only to see a dark giant python, spitting ice breath in the air and pounced on everyone. Everywhere the ice breath passed, the air condensed into frost, and then it was crushed into ice chips by the thick body of the giant python well.

Although everyone was a little flustered, they were not panicked, and they all struck out various vitality to resist the attack of the giant python, and at the same time dodged both sides of the python's impact trajectory. Everyone in the audience is the cultivation of the Zhongwu Realm.

The python turned several black-clothed men who had no time to dodge into ice chips, like white fireworks exploding in the night sky. The python shook its body, hovered in mid-air, and swam away in one direction. The people who came back to their senses took out their weapons and magic weapons one after another, and still retreated while fighting. The man who had previously compared the portrait with Yun Xuelan had a yellow seal flying out of his hand. The seal changed in the air to the size of a car cover, and the yellow light flashed on it, and a giant bull with a single horn in the earth-colored body took off the seal. The four hooves stepped into the air and confronted the giant python for a moment, and then raised their hooves and went straight to the python.

The unicorn above the earth-colored bull's head spewed a huge yellow wave, surging back into the ice breath of the python's mouth. The rolling Yellow Spring and the Nine Shadows Cold Pool converged in the air, and the aftermath spread, and several black-clothed people who were close to the place where the bull python confronted instantly turned into dust.

The earthy yellow giant bull stepped on all four hooves, and finally turned into a light and shadow and flew back into the hanging giant seal. The man in black who staggered back shook the yellow seal back in his hand with a big wave of his hand. He stared at the giant python, which was also a little sluggish, and the black light around the giant python flashed and disappeared.

A tall, thin young man in a black shirt stroked a bracelet on his left wrist that shimmered with a faint black glow. The young man kept walking towards the crowd. The young man, with his cheekbones raised high and his eye sockets somewhat sunken, swept his gaze from the field, and when his eyes met Yun Xuelan's gaze on the ground, a trace of brilliance flashed on his expressionless face. The young man frowned at first, then stretched his brow in relief.

Seeing this person, Yun Xuelan exhaled heavily, and seemed to have exhausted the last trace of strength in her body, and her eyelids drooped heavily.

Ding Ye realized that the young man who had previously controlled the giant python to show his might was Yun Xuelan's reinforcement, and his hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach. Although he was not out of danger, he was inexplicably relieved in his heart. Perhaps because Yun Xuelan looked fearless after seeing this person, the young man was at ease because of his youth, and the young man was relieved because of his youth.

The young man with a grim face did not speak, and a black-glittered four-foot long whip appeared in his hand, and the air at the blade of the whip condensed into frost.

Seeing the blade in this person's hand, the man holding the seal in his hand was stunned and said, "It's you, didn't you go to Nanliang?"

All he answered was the sound of the young man's footsteps getting closer and closer, and the chill emanating from his body.

The man seemed to think of something, laughed twice, and said with a little self-deprecation: "I didn't expect that I was so calculating and daring, and I deceived so many people." ”

Seeing that the young man still did not answer, the man held a chain in his hand, with a crescent-shaped curved blade at each end of the chain. "Up". The man snorted, and the chains in his hands flew out, and two moon blades struck the young man's shoulders.

At the same time, the rest of the men in black rushed towards the young man with their blades in hand. There were only three of them, and when everyone was besieging the youth, they went straight to Yun Xuelan and Ding Ye. The blade of the sword was close to the throats of the two of them. Seeing this, Ding Ye subconsciously fell on Yun Xuelan. When the boy thought that he was going to be chopped into pieces of flesh from behind, he heard three consecutive sounds of falling to the ground. Ding Ye looked sideways and looked back, only to see a black shadow burst out from the corpse that had just fallen to the ground.

The black-clothed young man swept the whip in his right hand, swinging the crescent blade away and taking the opportunity to block the weapons of the rest of the people. At the same time, his left hand was raised, and three cloud-shaped shuttles hit the hearts of several black-clothed people who wanted to attack and kill Yun Xuelan and Ding Ye one after another.

The man in black held an iron chain in both hands, and the moon blade at one end hooked the young man's ankle, and the other end slashed horizontally at his neck. The young man jumped up slightly, stepped on the crescent moon with his toes, and the long whip in his hand picked up the iron chain on his chest and castrated unabated, pointing directly at the door of the man in black. The blade of the blade trampled by the young man was like pressing a mountain, and the man in black was led forward and dodged the whip in the chest but was kicked by the young man in black.

The man took a few steps back and pulled back with his strength, and the blade that went back and forth slashed at the back of the black-clothed youth. The young man's body spun in mid-air, and the long whip in his hand slashed down in the air, and the whip shadow turned into a three-headed black vulture and pounced on the man in black. The whip shadow continued, slapping the heads of the two warriors who were approaching like playing polo.

The man in black threw the yellow seal again, fending off the black vulture that leaned over and flew towards him. The black vulture slammed into the yellow seal, splashing layers of ripples, and the ripples affected the warriors and fell to the ground injured. Seeing that the yellow seal was slightly declining, the man in black stretched out his palms and injected the yellow vitality into the giant seal. The yellow seal, which had trembled before, became as steady as a rock, and the black vulture condensed by the whip shadow in the stalemate was consumed into specks of light.

The black-clothed young man who fell back to the ground, his body spun around in place, and the whip wind swept through countless black snakes like feathered arrows in all directions. The blade that touched the black snake turned into a cloud of ice slag in an instant. Although the defensive magic weapon of acceptable grade can barely resist the bite of the black snake for its owner, its surface is also eroded with potholes, and its condition is not as good as the ornaments sold in ordinary markets.

The young man in black seemed to feel that he was not quick enough, and could only kill two or three people at a time, and those who fought with him also avoided his edge and could make a move or two with him. In addition, he also needs to be distracted and pay attention to the warriors who are trying to sneak attack Yun Xuelan and Ding Ye while he is facing the enemy. Although the little beast named Tofu is as elusive as a ghost and can often win by surprise, the martial artists of the Middle Martial Realm who are wary of it can avoid its sneak attacks. It's just that the little beast moves like lightning, and it is difficult for everyone to hurt it in the slightest.

Half of the men in black died either at the hands of the young men in black, or from the aftermath of their own companions fighting the youth. The black-clothed young man shook his left arm, and the black bracelet on his wrist lit up with a black light, and the bracelet that came out of his hand turned into a giant python again, and the cold waves swept through his head and tail, and all the creatures in his past returned to the Nine Hells.

Half an hour later, the man in black abandoned the yellow mark that had been severely damaged by the giant python and escaped from his injuries. Although he couldn't help the young man in black with his skills, he could still slip away early with some means of pressing the bottom of the box. The man who has licked blood from the knife for many years is thoughtful. His refusal to flee was not motivated by a desire to die, nor was it loyalty to the master who had sent him to assassinate him.

On the contrary, when the young man in black appeared, he knew that he would definitely fail in his trip. According to the rules, as a dead soldier, if he wants to go back alive, he can only take Yun Xuelan's death with him. So he made a calculation and looked for an opportunity to escape. The people who planned his trip should be wiped out, so that no one would doubt his plan to escape. So he waited for everyone with him to die. When fighting with the young man in black, he also deliberately let the aftermath affect the pond fish. Then he abandoned the yellow seal, which he used to buy time for himself to escape. I hope to leave this thing behind to confirm his death. Those who know the identity of men know the meaning of this seal for him, and everyone in the world thinks that a man would rather die than leave his body. But I didn't know that this was the cicada metamorphosis that the man had planned for today's move many years ago.

The man's name is Prison Niu, but from this day on, he named himself Qiu Cicada.

The young man in black did not pursue the shelled autumn cicada. There was no time to wipe the blood from his body. He hurried to Yun Xuelan and Ding Ye. The young man, who had never been willing to look at others, nodded at Ding Ye. He also saw the scene where Ding Ye used his body to make a meat shield for Yun Xuelan before, so he had a good impression of this young man with a black felt hat on his head.

The young man squatted down and investigated Yun Xuelan's injuries. Ding Ye saw that the young man's shoulders, which had been tense, relaxed after the investigation, and knew that Xue Lan was fine, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Is he okay?"

The young man shook his head as he took out a porcelain bottle and poured out three milky white pills and stuffed them into Yun Xuelan's mouth. Then he took out a black robe from his mustard seed and put it on the young man's body. Before Ding Ye could ask, he picked up Yun Xuelan on his back.

He recalled that on a rainy night in the cold forest, when he was carrying a young man who was also seriously injured, the young man whispered eight words in his ear before he fell unconscious, "Brother Jiang Yu, accompany me to perform a play." ”

The young man carried the boy on his shoulders and followed the boy by his side.

Rin Tan looked up at the moon lying on the back of the clouds, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and he finally accompanied the young master to celebrate the New Year.

Zhuang Zhonghe plays, Jun Yiqing's experience. is also a stranger, and the end of the world is on the king's side.
