Chapter 57: The Soul Pact
The passage was quiet, unsettlingly quiet.
Su Jing clutched his chest and slowly stood up, looked at the vague black shadow in the depths of the passage, and said in an accentuated tone again: "You have touched my bottom line." β
The blue flames exploded with a 'poof' without warning, and the wisps of fireworks flew out with their long tails, circling around Su Jing twice like a spirit, and then regrouped together and floated towards the quietly standing figure, and disappeared. Immediately after the sound of light footsteps, the black shadow finally came over from the darkness and stopped not far from Su Jing, but it was a woman in palace clothes with a blank look, holding a black cat with blue pupils in her arms.
The woman's gaze paused on Li Yu, then fell on Su Jing's face, and said, "You also promised me to bring the Moon Spirit Bead back." β
"These are two different things!" Su Jing suppressed his anger and said, "Since I promised you, I will never break my promise." But until then, I don't want her to be hurt in any way. β
The woman still didn't have any expression, and said indifferently, "What if I have to mix it up?"
Su Jing's eyes behind the mask shot out a blade-like light, and he said word by word: "I will go to Southern Xinjiang again, even if I set foot in the Jiaye Temple, I will bring the Moon Spirit Bead back." β
The woman sneered: "In your heyday, you were still invincible, and now you are riddled with poison and only have half a life left, if it weren't for me using secret techniques to help you suppress the Gu poison in your body, do you think you would still be able to stand here and yell at me?"
Su Jing replied unceremoniously: "If it weren't for the group of wastes you sent to Tang Tingshan, how could you attract Lin Qi's attention." If Lin Qi hadn't suddenly appeared at a critical moment, how could I have missed. If it's just a mere innocent, I really don't pay attention to it. β
The woman's eyes moved, and she said, "So, you blame me for this failure?"
Su Jing didn't speak, and replaced what he wanted to say with silence.
The woman also looked at him quietly, slowly raised her right hand, and pointed at him in the air.
Su Jing let out a muffled snort, his body bent down in pain, and he wanted to suppress the crazy churning internal breath, but who knew that Fang Yiyun felt a sweet mouthful of blood in his throat turn up, but he didn't squirt out, but swallowed it hard.
"This is to punish you for being disrespectful to me!" the woman's expression did not change in the slightest, but the black cat in her arms showed an anthropomorphic sneering expression on her face.
Su Jing staggered to his feet, raised his head and laughed twice, and said, "If she dies, I won't live alone." When the time comes, you'll be trapped in this ugly body forever. β
"Meowβ"
The black cat suddenly jumped up, and its right paw was quickly pulled towards Su Jing's chest.
Su Jing's reaction was not slow, and as soon as his palm turned over, he already had a jet-black knife in his hand, and slashed towards the black cat's claws like lightning.
Both of them were lightning fast, but in the blink of an eye, the black cat let out a miserable cry and jumped back into the woman's arms, licking the wound on its paws while looking at the inconspicuous jet-black knife with hatred.
The woman lowered her head and gently stroked the black cat's neck, and said faintly: "It seems that I underestimated you." Then she slowly raised her head, her originally dark eyes turned blue, and her face was weird, "But you still can't escape from my palm." The soul contract is not so easy to get rid of, and if I don't let you die, you will never die. Also, I advise you to be kind to me, and if you annoy me, it will be your little lover who will suffer. After speaking, he didn't wait for the other party to answer, turned around and walked towards the depths of the passage.
A moment later, her voice rang out again in the passage: "I'll give you another chance." If you miss again this time, I'll let you watch her torture to death. "There was no more silence.
Su Jing finally fell to the ground, from the time the woman appeared to the time when she left for tea, it seemed like a century had passed for him, and the sweat had long soaked his clothes and clinged to his body. If he has any slackness in the middle and makes the other party see that he is cheap, not only will he fall into a miserable situation, but Tang Zixi, who he protects with all his might, will also be affected. He didn't doubt the other party's threatening words at all, because only he knew best how powerful the other party's strength was, and it was not an existence that could be dealt with without regard for his life.
He closed his eyes in some pain, and for the first time he thought of regret.
"Click!" There was a sound of stones rolling on his side, Su Jing didn't open his eyes, but just said, "Let's go, Xiaoxi is still waiting for you to save her." β
Li Yu got up from the ground with some embarrassment, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pretend to be dizzy, I just wanted to help you secretly." How are you? Do you want me to heal you?"
Su Jing shook her head, opened her eyes and said, "Don't mention me after seeing her, let alone let her know my current situation." β
"Why?" Li Yu said in surprise, "I also plan to come to you together after saving her." β
"Because I'll leave after you're gone. Su Jing stood up slowly by holding on to the stone wall, looked at the man opposite with deep eyes, and said solemnly, "Xiaoxi is a good girl, you should cherish it." β
Li Yu nodded and said, "I know!" He never doubted this, and even knew from many years ago that this was a good girl worthy of his best efforts to protect. It's just that at this moment, this sentence came out of the other party's mouth, which made him have a strange feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but say, "Where did we meet after we went out?
Su Jing took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Take her away after you go out, go as far as possible, and never come back!" After speaking, he waved his hand, and slowly walked in the other direction while holding the stone wall.
"Oh. Li Yu looked at his stumbling steps and couldn't bear to ask the bottom of it.
After the tea time, he stood in a huge cave covered with cobwebs, and couldn't help but feel numb when he looked at the dense scalp of the spider on the stone wall. He had suffered from this thing, and if it weren't for the automatic operation of the 'reincarnation technique' in his body at that time, he would have turned into a stiff corpse. Seeing this thing again at this moment naturally gave birth to fear from the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't help but retreat backwards.
But when he turned his head, his eyes widened in astonishment, and there were all swarthy holes in front of him, and there were a few of them, and each of them looked exactly the same, and for a moment he could tell which one was the one he had just entered.
Just as he was crying out in distress, the group of spiders on the stone wall suddenly stirred, and this discovery made him even more alarmed, and he gritted his teeth and casually slipped into a hole.
As soon as he took a few steps in, he stepped on a round thing under his feet, and suddenly he was unsteady on his feet, and a horse fell down on his stomach, and his jaw hit the ground so hard that he almost bit off his tongue. The pain made him forget about the temporary danger, and he kicked it away in exasperation, only to hear a gurgling sound, as if something had rolled into the depths of the cavern.
After waiting for a long time and not waiting for the expected collision, Li Yu couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue at the depth of this stone cave, and retreated in his heart, wanting to choose a new cave entrance and worrying about going out and meeting the Yin spider swarm.
Just as he hesitated, a sharp whistling sound came.
He chuckled in his heart, could it be that the situation had changed? He could no longer hesitate, and the reincarnation technique turned his whole body, and his body flew away as fast as lightning in the direction where the voice came from.
Fearfully rushing out of the passage, the expected swarm of spiders was not seen again, leaving only the ubiquitous cobwebs. He kept at his feet, and at the same time drew the long sword at his waist, chopping through the cobwebs like chopping melons and vegetables, and soon rushed to another hole.
This cave is no different from the others, except that there is a layer of hoarfrost at the entrance, which is clearly the passage of the vanished pubic spiders. He hesitated to go in.
But he didn't have much time to think about it, and the same whistling sounded again, mixed with screams, wails, and palpitating clatters.
He slipped his heart into it. As soon as Fang entered the cave, a biting chill surged from all directions, but fortunately, his reincarnation technique had already been cultivated to the second level at this moment, and it was effortless to deal with it. However, when he rushed out of the cave, he realized that his previous worries were definitely not superfluous.
As far as the eye can see, there are dense iron cages, and the cages are full of people and ...... Pubic spider. That's when he knew why the spiders were here.
The scene in front of him was so bloody that he couldn't bear to look at it after just one look. Although most of the people in the cage have died, many of them still retain the last of their senses, and they are bitten by the spider and let out a terrible scream.
Li Yu's long sword was raised and put down, not because he didn't want to save them, but because he couldn't do anything. Not to mention that most of those who are still alive are dying, even if they are saved, they won't live long, and as far as he has only now practiced the second level of reincarnation tricks, it is enough to protect himself, where dare he take the initiative to provoke those hell spiders.
His hands trembled violently, he could barely hold the long sword in his hand, and he kept saying to himself in his heart that saving people's lives was important, but he also had to do what he could.
It's a pity that he didn't last long after all, and when a woman's cry came, he couldn't help but make a move. For the woman did not wail like the others, but cried out with great clarity, 'Master!'
His gaze crossed the obstacles, and soon locked on an iron cage a few feet away, and when he saw the appearance of the other party clearly, he quickly flew up, and the silver needle that was still in mid-air and the silver needle in his hand had already come out of his hand, stabbing the female spider off with great precision, and falling into the gap between the railings.
"Gonghou, why are you here?" he had just landed on top of the iron cage, and before he could stand firmly, he swung his sword to cut the iron chain on it.
