Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Snowy Night

Previous Chapter

More than ten meters away from Ji Zijian, the originally thick layer of snow suddenly exploded with a "Peng", and before a few people could react, an earth-shattering roar drowned out Qin Lanlan's screams and the sound of firecrackers around him.

It sounded like the sound of a child learning to recite the word "year", as if it was going to penetrate the endless years, which once again confirmed Ji Zijian's conjecture.

Ji Zijian hurriedly dodged and pulled Qin Lanlan aside, withdrew more than ten meters away, and stared at this year beast that came out of nowhere.

The body of the beast is about four or five meters long, with tiger stripes all over it, and its huge head looks like a full half meter in diameter, its eyes are like copper bells, and there are two things like tentacles on its head. With the roar of the Nian Beast, the night sky, which was originally only echoed by scattered firecrackers, became lively.

The people on the roof of the building seemed to be in a deserted wilderness, surrounded by the howls of unknown beasts and the shrill cries of various birds.

"Quick, the Nian Beast has appeared, don't do it yet!" Xu Tianfeng came back to his senses for the first time, kicked his feet, stepped back dozens of meters in a dashing manner, stood on the edge of the roof, raised his arms at the night sky, and ordered: "The sword array blocks this place!"

The two middle-aged men behind Xu Tianfeng unsheathed their bronze swords, holding their swords and running towards the Nian beast on the opposite side, the two figures staggered from time to time in the heavy snow, running out more than ten steps, their movements became more and more agile, and their figures became more and more blurred. Ji Zijian squinted, and secretly said in his heart that this is probably a kind of exercise with wind attributes.

At a distance of more than ten meters, the flickering figure of the two reminded Ji Zijian of the ninja in the island country anime, until the last moment when he approached the year beast, the figures of the two were almost blurry.

Probably frightened by the sound of firecrackers, the enraged Nian Beast stopped roaring, and two thin tentacles more than three feet long on its head stretched out in a certain direction in the sky. The two tentacles, one on the left and one on the right, met the two seemingly extraordinary bronze swords.

Like a child's house, quietly, the bronze sword slid gently along the tentacles on the head of the Nian Beast, but the two masters of the Transformation Realm who had just appeared were petrified for two or three seconds as long as they were shocked by electricity.

For a master, there are so many things that can be done in two or three seconds. But the Nian Beast seemed to disdain to attack the two of them. Raised his huge head again, and roared to the sky.

The echoes of various desolate beasts were heard in all directions. And at this moment, the year beast seemed to have become the king of all beasts, and its sturdy hind legs kicked and jumped into the air.

"Sword Formation!" Xu Tianfeng turned around and floated to the roof of another building.

Ji Zijian secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly hugged Qin Lanlan and floated out, Dong Yichuan on the side reacted faster than himself, and then he was still a step late.

The roaring Nian Beast jumped six or seven meters high with its huge body and jumped to the top of a building in the north, at this time, eight sword qi emitted from all directions around it.

In the eight directions that spread out with the year beast as the center, there was an old Taoist priest who looked seventy or eighty years old with white beard and hair, and they held their hands in front of their chests, and in front of each old Taoist priest was a bronze sword engraved with dense patterns, and it was obvious that the eight sword qi was emitted from these eight bronze swords.

The sword qi intertwined with each other, forming a sword net in the shape of a bowl, covering the Nian Beast, Ji Zijian, Qin Lanlan, and Dong Yichuan, who had rarely spoken.

Relying on sword qi alone to envelop such a large area, these eight old men are at least masters of the Transformation Realm, plus the two followers of Xu Tianfeng before, in order to catch this young beast, the Xu family dispatched ten masters of the Transformation Realm!

The angry Nian Beast was shrouded in a sword net, and landed on the roof with a "bang", splashing countless snowflakes. Seeing this, the two Transformation Realm masters who originally attacked the Year Beast did not advance but retreated, and the soldiers divided into two ways, holding bronze ancient swords in their hands, and each rushed towards Ji Zijian and Dong Yichuan, who were watching the excitement.

The Xu family's intentions have been very obvious, clearing the field. At this time, it would undoubtedly seem very naïve to let Ji Zijian confront a little kid loudly and confront the other party.

Ji Zijian smiled, looking like a peerless master and indisputable. Holding Qin Lanlan in one hand, he shot a green dragon at the Taoist priest who attacked him with the other. The other party seemed to be afraid of Ji Zijian's fat poison, and he dodged around a "several" figure and continued to move forward.

The Taoist priest saw that Ji Zijian was about to leave with Qin Lanlan, and his task of clearing the field had been achieved, so the next step was just a prepulsive feint, and there was no fighting intent in his eyes.

Dong Yichuan on the other side had already jumped out from the roof, and it seemed that he didn't want to clash head-on with the Xu family.

Of course, the furious year beast would not succumb to this unknown sword formation, and it erupted again in the direction where Ji Zijian was, and when it reached six or seven meters in the air, the sword formation appeared again, and there was even a sound of sword qi wringing on the body of the year beast "sneering".

With a "bang", the Nian Beast fell about two or three meters from the edge of the roof, and at this time, Ji Zijian had already jumped from the roof with one hand holding Qin Lanlan.

"Quick, shrink the sword formation!" Although Xu Tianfeng is young, he is not a mindless man like Xiao Fangshao after all: "Xu Ying, Xu Gong, be sure to entangle the Nian Beast!"

The Taoist priest named Xu Ying, who attacked Ji Zijian, heard this and hurriedly blocked in front of the Nian Beast. However, even if he had the strength of the Transformation Realm, how could he see it in front of this legendary year beast. For the first time, a playful look leaked from the furious eyes of the young beast, and its sturdy hind legs slammed into it, rushing straight towards Xu Ying.

Xu Ying, who knew that he was invincible, did not have the slightest obscene look in his eyes, and rushed forward with an expressionless face. It can be seen that the Xu family, as the first family in Huahuan County, is not covered.

As a result, there was no doubt that Xu Ying, who had the strength of the Transformation Realm, could not break through the ironclad defense of the copper wall outside the body of the Nian Beast, and was ruthlessly impacted and flew more than ten meters away, falling from the roof of the building in the form of a parabola, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

Before the sword net contracted, the year beast didn't think about it, roared, and its huge body jumped from the top of the building without hesitation.

"Young Master!" had already dropped halfway, and Qin Lanlan, who was in Ji Zijian's arms, hesitated to remind Ji Zijian, as if she was worried that the other party would not see the huge body of the Nian Beast that was falling, and she was afraid of disturbing Ji Zijian to make a judgment at a critical time.

"Alas!" Himeko sighed, "Hold on!"

Ji Zijian spun in the air, kicked his right foot on the windowsill at his feet, and jumped up from the air again: "Xiao Nian, if you don't want to die, don't deform quickly!" Probably now it is the body of the Nian Beast, but Ji Zijian and Qin Lanlan are the only people present who know that the Nian Beast has another body type.

In the new year, at midnight, the snow is all over the sky. In previous years, the sound of firecrackers was continuous, and the night of laughter and laughter was continuous, but tonight the chickens flew and the dogs jumped, and the ghosts cried and the wolves howled.

Ji Zijian was holding Qin Lanlan in his arms, and Qin Lanlan was holding a naked baby boy who looked to be two or three years old in his arms and running wildly in the midnight wind and snow, and the sound of breaking wind behind him was getting closer and closer. Ji Zijian knew that with his own foot strength, he was not the opponent of these old monsters, so he had an idea and shouted: "Xue Dun!"

With a thud, he jumped into the thick layer of snow under his feet. More than half a month of goose feather snow, plus the snow shoveled down on the roof of the building and piled up on the road, is more than three meters thick.

Ji Zijian and Qin Lanlan disappeared in an instant.

For the people of the Transfiguration Realm, the night is just more breathless than the day, and it can't hide it at all. Hiding in the snow, although the form is a little passive to himself, at least there is room for maneuver. As for the so-called snow escape, where can I do anything, it is purely to disturb the other party's mind.

In the thick layer of snow, Ji Zijian's eyes were dark, no different from the greasy man who drank inferior Pu'er tea before. However, Qin Lanlan in her arms suddenly broke free from her arms, turned around and put her face to face with Ji Zijian, made a silent gesture to Ji Zijian, carried Ji Zijian on her back, and held the Nian Beast in her arms.

The sound insulation effect of the snow was obviously not very good, and Ji Zijian clearly heard Xu Tianfeng's sharp cursing sound above his head, as well as the sound of Peng Peng's from time to time that seemed to be someone casting a spell to blow up the snow. However, it didn't take long for them to discover that the sensing nerves of more than a dozen Transformation Realms could no longer feel a trace of the breath of the Year Beast.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Tianfeng's fair face was red and blue, wearing a fashionable limited edition sneaker endorsed by a football star, standing on the top of a building, looking at the vast sea of snow, taking a deep breath, and slowly closing his red and terrible eyes. Standing in the wind and snow on the roof of the building, for a long time, motionless.

Three kilometers away, Ji Zijian was holding the little beast in his arms, and Qin Lanlan, who was squirming and plump under him, felt the feeling of the snow around him sliding over his body like water, and he was full of emotion.

I didn't expect Qin Lanlan to get such a strong talent after contemplating the celestial phenomena for half a month. Ji Zi moved her buttocks, changed into a comfortable and comfortable position, and was thinking about whether to sleep when Qin Lanlan under her suddenly stopped.

It wasn't until Qin Lanlan's plump buttocks twisted several times that Ji Zijian finally realized something, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly stepped down from Qin Lanlan's body, that's right, in order to avoid awkward physical contact, Ji Zi had to find a focus point with one foot first. And he didn't have Qin Lanlan's talent, so he naturally stepped on Qin Lanlan's body firmly and leaked his head.

"Wow, Lanlan, what's wrong with your face, why is it so red?"

"I, I, I'm probably tired, young master, I'm not as energetic as you, I haven't even opened the sea of qi now, and I can't last long at all. After speaking, Qin Lanlan's face turned even redder, she gasped exaggeratedly, turned her head to look around, and seemed unwilling to continue to entangle with Ji Zijian on the question of why she blushed, and hurriedly asked, "Young Master, where are we going now?" Do you want to hide in the snow for a while?"

"There's no need, since they can't find us, they won't waste any more time here, but it's possible to find some equipment or someone with a similar talent to you and come back, and then we really can't leave if we want to. Ji Zijian looked at the night sky, groaned for a while, and was about to think about where to go. Suddenly, I noticed that a big tree seemed to move thirty or forty meters away.

Huh? This world is really so bizarre that the trees move? No, how can it still bend? Huh? When did the cries of birds and beasts stop?

Ji Zijian frowned and thought about it, and suddenly there was a bang in his head, and some unforgettable pictures of his debut just appeared in his mind, as well as some scandals that he thought would never be repeated again in order to save his life, that was the big black dog in the forest in Hedong!
