The Exorcist

Because he wanted to help Xiao Xia stop the pursuit of the two stone men, Ruan Zhan had no choice but to tip the bloodwood sword to his left hand and point it at them. When he tipped the sword back to his right hand and pointed it at Yang Muyou again, Yang Muyou was already like a marionette. Suddenly the ground stood up.

"Your Blood Wood Sword is useless to me. It can only deal with souls, but it can't deal with substantial things!" Yang Muyou said.

"Really?" Ruan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you leave immediately? Why don't you dare to let your dog bite me?"

"You - do you really think that the handprints you made stuck me in this skin?"

"Your magic power is profound, I don't expect that." Ruan Zhan said without any hesitation, "But I don't want to hurt your skin, I just want to hurt your soul root. If you are fine, you are not afraid of the Blood Wood Sword. If so, why doesn't the soul come out of it and leave this skin immediately?"

"I'm waiting, aren't you waiting too?"

"You are waiting to escape, and I am waiting to kill you. This is different."

"What's the difference? I don't care about immediate success or failure, but you have to know that you have made a lifelong enemy, a very strong enemy!"

"I won't come if I'm afraid of you!" Ruan Zhan showed no fear and refused to give in an inch of ground.

Yang Muyou smiled sinisterly, "Then before we take action, let me analyze the situation for you. Yes, you injured my soul root, making my super strength worse than yours now. But there are four people here. , you are one against three. If you hurt me with your magic bloodwood sword, those two people will take the opportunity to attack you. Although they are possessed by ghosts, they have the constitution of stone, are powerful and difficult to destroy. Well, even if your soul is attached to the stone man, what chance do you have of winning against two people?"

"I just bet that you are selfish and that you are in a hurry to leave your body and find a dark place to heal your soul roots. Because you know that the longer the injury lasts, the more damage it will do to your magic power, so I just need to keep an eye on you. Just die."

"Then look, I'm hiding in this skin and can't come out. How about letting those two brothers attack you first? I'll heal your wounds after I kill you. Although the damage will be great, it's better than wasting it here."

"If you could, you would have done this long ago. Since you know the Bloodwood Sword, you should know that if the person using the sword has a certain level of magic power, it is harder than steel and can pierce anything, including the flesh. Stone!"

"Are you confident that you have that skill?"

Ruan Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look that was both contemptuous and powerful, "To be honest, I don't know. Let's just take a gamble. How about it? Do you dare?"

Having an important person in your heart is a weakness, but it is also a great advantage, because it allows you to protect her at all costs and enhances your courage and strength. Yang Muyou was different. He only had himself in his heart and only cherished himself. Although he seemed to have no weaknesses, it still made him timid and did not dare to give it a try. This gave Ruan Zhan, who was at a disadvantage, a chance.

"Okay, then let's wait. You are determined to wear down my power, and wait until I am at my weakest before you strike. But do you think I will just sit back and wait for death? Do you think that ordinary man with thousands of miles can stop me? Destroy your body? Aren't you just as dead without a body? Will you be attached to this stone all your life? Can Yue Xiaoxia be safe after entering this underworld? This is my territory! Although my soul roots are affected by I'm injured, but it's not going to be easy for you either. What do you think, let's give it a try. As long as you agree, I'll guarantee that the three of you will leave safely."

"So you can heal your wounds, restore your damaged skills, and then find other opportunities to kill us?" Ruan Zhan said coldly.

He knew very well that if this undead spirit was not destroyed this time, they would be restless day and night in the future, at least until his soul root was damaged to a certain extent before they could have a chance to breathe.

"We are all cultivators, why don't you recognize me?"

"No need to talk nonsense, this is a big gamble. Everyone is a pawn, including you and me." Ruan Zhan was actually very worried about Xiaoxia and Wan Li, but on the surface he remained calm, "We check and balance each other here. , no one can move, but I suppressed the most trouble-making chess piece and two powerful lackeys by myself. Which side do you think has the advantage? If we really lose to you, we can only live our lives."

"Can you bear the thought of your delicate beauty dying?"

"She will be fine." Ruan Zhan hesitated and said slowly.

He had to leave her aside to face various dangerous and frightening situations alone. Although he felt so distressed, if he didn't do this, she would die even more when Yang Muyou recovered his mana and his ability could not be released. awful!

"Can't we reconcile?"

"Absolutely not!"

Yang Muyou was finally speechless, because this quarrel showed all his weaknesses.

His face was ashen, and his body was swaying like a stick on the ground, but he did not dare to move under the threat of the Blood Wood Sword. He did not dare to lose his soul and be chased by the Blood Wood Sword, nor did he dare to control it. The physical body left because he didn't dare to gamble on what Ruan Zhan's skills were, fearing that if he could turn the blood wood sword into a sharp weapon, pierce his shell and damage his soul.

They faced each other like this. Yang Muyou was thinking about how to escape in order to seek revenge in the future, while Ruan Zhan, under his calm appearance, was worried about the safety of the other two people.

\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026\u0026

Xiaoxia didn't know why Ruan Zhan asked her to run out, she just followed his instructions. She knew that she had no magic power and weak yang energy. If she stayed there, she would only cause trouble for him.

She stood in the sea of ​​flowers and thought for a moment, thinking that Ruan Zhan must want her to meet Wan Li, but where was Wan Li? The scene at that time was so chaotic that she couldn't communicate with him and was worried about his own safety as one against three.

His soul won't be captured and refined, right? But at least he must keep his body, so that he can have hope. With this thought in mind, she thought about looking for Wanli, but found that the scenery in front of her had changed.

It used to be a sea of ​​flowers, but now it was a large open space in a dense forest. Xiaoxia was standing in the middle of the open space. In the direction of the black stone house was a small hill behind her, surrounded by strange-shaped stones.

Unconsciously, it was already late at night, and the pale moonlight shone down, making the surrounding atmosphere even more weird and gloomy. Xiao Xia took a look at the dense forest and found that most of the trees here had snarling teeth and claws. They looked like ghosts in the moonlight, with little green lights flashing through them.

It’s just phosphorus fire! Xiaoxia comforted herself.

She didn't know where Wan Li should be, but she thought that since the body of Ruan Zhan he was protecting should be in a hidden place, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the densest place with trees on the left.

The bare soles of her feet were stinging, and she knew they were gravel and grass roots; the cool numbness on her feet, she knew, were unknown insects; she also knew that there might be more dangers when entering such a primitive and remote jungle. There were many snakes, insects, rats, ants, and even wild beasts waiting for her. She was scared to death, but she had to bite the bullet and do it because she believed that Ruan Zhan and Wan Li would definitely need help.

A gust of cold wind blew by, rustling the surrounding trees and weeds, and a whining-like bird call came from the forest, making Xiaoxia even more frightened. She paused for a while and continued to walk forward. Suddenly her foot was suffocated and she tripped over something and fell to the ground. When she lowered her head, she saw a wild vine.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but the wild vine suddenly slowly transformed into a pale hand, groping around her ankle.

She was so frightened that she screamed, and the sound sounded particularly shrill in the open space, but she couldn't care less, she just grabbed randomly, and when she caught a sharp stone, she smashed it without thinking.

She hit it very hard, and the texture of the strange hand was like dead wood, so the sharp stone nailed it to the ground with just one use. The strange hand struggled and made a squeaking sound like a mouse. Xiaoxia stood up and ran. She didn't hear the strange hand until she reached the edge of the jungle and made sure it wasn't chasing her.

But despite this, she found that she ran in the wrong direction. In order to escape, she ran to the opposite side of the hill, but she was originally going to the left. She hesitated for a moment and decided that in order to avoid the strange hand, she had to enter the woods from here first, and then circle back to the left, just to check that Wanli was not in this direction.

The dead leaves in the woods were thicker than those in the clearing, and they rustled when she stepped on them, as if something was following her. She didn't dare to look back to see what was going on, but she saw that there was nothing else but her own shadow and the mottled tree shadows in the moonlight.

This made her feel a little more at ease, but after taking a few steps, something grabbed her sleeve again.

She froze for a moment and forced herself to look back. Only then did she realize that the branch had caught her, and she quickly pulled the branch away. The woods made her extremely nervous. She wanted to find Wanli quickly, so she quickened her pace. But there were always branches hanging on her. She impatiently pulled the branches away again and again, watching the trees in front of her gradually become sparse, as if she was about to walk out of the woods and onto the mountain road. There was no trace of him yet, so she was sure that he was not in this direction. . At this time, she was caught again.

She rubbed her back with force in annoyance, and the branch bounced away, but almost at the same time it touched her arm. She wiped it again, but she felt that the touch of the branch was cold and smooth, not the warm and rough wood.

She habitually looked towards the shadow on the ground. She was still alone.

"Ghosts have no shadows." A voice came from behind her.

Subconsciously, she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms, just in time to see a pair of feet slowly moving in front of her. The embroidered shoes are white, with a hole in the toe, and a toe bone sticking out, standing there abruptly.

My feet didn't touch the ground!

She held the amulet on her chest and refused to raise her head, but the foot in front of her took a step back. Slowly, a head hung down, and it bent down to look at her.

He has long black hair, a skull, and flashes of phosphorescence in his eye holes.

"I am a ghost, I have no shadow!" She grinned.
