The Exorcist

Chapter 28 Showdown (Part 1)

Ruan Zhan was shocked to see his father's transformation with his own eyes. I saw my father's body suddenly straighten up, and the black energy surrounding his body that was in a diffuse state suddenly reversed, as if being sucked back by the powerful whirling force in his body, it shrank instantly, and all invaded his body in the blink of an eye. , even if Ruan Zhan uses his yin and yang eyes, he can no longer see the black energy. It seems that the evil energy has truly merged with his father's soul. The clouds in his Yintang have become as black as ink, covering it tightly like a piece of black energy. Ugly scars.

Looking at my father's face again, he was upright and kind a moment ago, but now he is twisted and ferocious, with his hair and beard sprouting out, his eyes as red as a ghost, and as sad as a ghost. This made Ruan Zhan unable to accept it for a moment, and he stood there sadly.

Before he could become a demon, his father was already like this. Not only had his appearance changed, but his mind had also become unclear. He didn't even recognize his own son. If that moment came, what would he become like? Is this still the father? Is life worse than death for him like this?

The sound of clattering kept ringing, which was caused by my father using powerful evil power to break free of those silver invisible chains. The chain was a magic chain set up by the father to imprison himself. The spiritual power was very powerful, but at this time, in front of the father who was already controlled by the evil spirit, it seemed that he could no longer be bound and was about to be completely destroyed.

Stone chips are flying and mud and sand are falling. Because those invisible chains locked the soul, they did not disappear even after being torn off. They hung on his father's body with a clanking sound. As he rushed forward, they were swept towards Ruan Zhan like weapons, forcing him to go from heartache to numbness. Zhongjing woke up and jumped to the outside of the cave, his whole body alert and alert.

It's not yet time, and my father has an attack early, so he needs to delay it.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and placed three barriers in front of him. Although he knew it wouldn't work, it could at least block it for a while. Then, he held the sword in his right hand and wielded it in his left hand, just waiting for the moment when his father would break free from the restraints. Although all the bad energy has been absorbed into his father's body, he understands that the Blood Wood Sword still cannot touch his father's soul body. However, the Blood Wood Sword has a deterrent effect on all soul bodies. At least he can rely on this power to deal with his father. For a while.

"I'm going to kill you!" Ruan's father roared again, broke the last chain, and rushed towards Ruan Zhan.

Ruan Zhan was prepared, so he immediately dodged when he saw any movement. However, Ruan's father was faster than he expected. He rushed in front of him almost instantly. The three barriers were broken one after another, like a wild beast knocking open three layers of paper. Just like the door, before the figure gets close, the cold air hits first.

Ruan Zhan's left hand drew a spell like a comet's tail in the air, flicked it backward, and immediately brought Ruan's father's hand that was holding above his head to the rock wall. With a strange sound, a large piece of the rock was brought down, and Ruan Zhan barely dodged the blow.

"That's right. Who are you? Tell me your name." The hit missed, obviously Ruan's father was surprised. He rolled his red eyes at Ruan Zhan and said half in admiration and half madly.

"I am your son." Looking at his father's appearance, Ruan Zhan's heart broke. He said solemnly: "Whether you remember it or not, whether we want to kill each other or not, I am your son."

Ruan's father laughed wildly, not believing Ruan Zhan's words at all. The evil thoughts in his body controlled him and he just wanted to do whatever he wanted.

"I pretended to be my son in order to escape. If it is true, then come and honor my father and make me happy! I want to kill someone for fun now. The more I kill, the happier I will be!"

At the same time as the last word, there was his second attack, which was not merciful at all, and the last illusion in Ruan Zhan's heart was shattered. My father has been completely controlled by the evil spirit. Although he has not yet reached the stage of becoming a demon and does not have supreme magic power, his true strength and the evil power aided by the evil spirit have made his father so powerful that he is invincible. He has only one way to dodge.

The power of this second blow was greater than the first. It seemed that his father was getting better and better at integrating with the evil spirit, but Ruan Zhan was still prepared, so even though he was embarrassed, he still avoided it again. The two missed hits made Ruan's father furious. He saw Ruan Zhan scurrying around in the narrow and deep cave like a swimming fish, attacking with one move after another. It seemed that he would not give up until Ruan Zhan was put to death. .

Suddenly, there were loud noises in the cave, the light of talismans, the uncertain red light of the blood-wood sword, and the green light balls of fireflies emitted from Ruan's father's palm were intertwined, and a figure flashed to the left on the ground. Ducking to the right, a black shadow flew up and down in mid-air, and the entire cave was in chaos.

Ruan Zhan only felt that it was extremely hard. Originally, every time he tried to dodge, he would miss his father's palm every time. But as more and more gravel hit the ground by his father, the obstacles under his feet made his actions difficult. It started slowly, and since he was jumping around so hard, his physical strength was also a problem. What's more, my father seemed to be familiar with his routines and understood his strategies, so he started to attack later and then arrived first.

He relied on the terrain to defend tenaciously, because the cave was not straight, but curved. There were protruding sharp rocks in many places, and there were quite some differences in height. Every time he dodges an attack, he always uses the next better defense as a guideline, and keeps darting around corners. Whenever his father forced him to a corner, he would cleverly use the terrain to escape back to his original place. Although he wandered around for a long time, fighting and escaping, in fact he didn't even walk through half of the long cave, which was a good execution of his delaying tactic.

But although Ruan's father was eroded by the evil spirit, he only completely lost his humanity and his intelligence was not damaged. Because he lost his humanity, he was less bound by emotions and became smarter and more alert. He quickly saw Ruan Zhan's intention, but firstly he was a little wary of the Blood Wood Sword. Secondly, Ruan Zhan did not hesitate to expend his spiritual power and would use small-scale time and space distortion when he was particularly critical, so he could not catch up for a while. .

But soon after, he got tired of chasing and began to turn his body into a flat shadow, like a black wave, running close to the top of the cave and the sides of the rock wall. From another angle, it looked like Ruan Zhan's shadow. Not only did he stick to him, but he also arrived before Ruan Zhan could avoid him and blocked him head on.

Although Ruan's father was worried about the Blood Wood Sword, the green light he shot was not afraid of the Blood Wood Sword, so later he simply used both hands to perform the spell, forcing Ruan Zhan to return the sword and knock down one, while he desperately dodged the other. This was very thrilling for Ruan Zhan, and because every time the Blood Wood Sword and the green ball of light collided head-on, he felt sorry for the baby who had followed him for so many years, and was shocked by the light ball with great inertia. Arms are numb.

As a result, his situation became more dangerous, and he almost ran into his father's palms several times. He didn't know what the move was, but he felt it was similar to Hell Fire, only much better than Hell Fire. When it came close to his body, he felt a feeling of extreme cold and heat, as if even his body and soul were about to melt. As soon as he got close, his steps became heavier, and he felt jerky when casting spells.

He staggered and kicked onto a piece of gravel, but before the pain in his feet could be felt, two gusts of wind from behind had already hit him, one hitting him on the back of his head and the other on the back of his heart. He swung his sword with his backhand and knocked down the green ball of light behind his head. He barely ducked and narrowly missed the second one.

But this time he felt a very hot tingling sensation on his back shoulder. When I reached out and touched it, it was warm and sticky, and it was obviously injured and bleeding.

This blood energy further stimulated Ruan's father. He raised his head, took a deep breath, and laughed: "The blood of young people is indeed a good thing. Give it to me!" As he said this, he shot four green light balls with his hands.

Ruan Zhan knew at the moment he was injured that there was no room for maneuver in the cave, so the moment his father hit the ball of light, he had already used the time and space distortion technique and stepped out of the cave in one step. Both sides launched their moves at the same time, and the moves took effect at the same time. Even though Ruan's father failed to kill Ruan Zhan, when Ruan Zhan came to the open space outside the cave, he didn't step out as casually as usual, but as if he was kicked out of the cave. Just like that, he fell to the gravel ground.

Xiaoxia was already frightened outside the cave when she heard the beast-like howling and the sound of cracking the mountain and the ground. Now seeing Ruan Zhan's appearance suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she exclaimed and almost rushed out to save him. Fortunately Wan Li caught him.

"Don't make trouble." He looked at the center of the field, but said to Xiaoxia: "You will distract him in the past."

Xiaoxia fully understood this, and it was just a subconscious move, so although her heart was in her throat, she just endured it and didn't move. Ruan Zhan seemed to be in great pain after landing, and he crawled several times before getting up. A piece of clothing on the back shoulder was burned off, revealing a piece of bloody skin.

"He's injured." Xiaoxia almost cried.

"He's still alive." Wan Li said very seriously, grabbing Xiaoxia's hand at the same time. Feeling her little hands were cold, she squeezed them hard, giving her confidence and courage: "This is what's important."

Xiaoxia nodded. She has long understood the danger and hardship of this battle, and she also knows that Wan Li is right, but no woman can remain indifferent when she sees her sweetheart being hurt like this. She knew that since she couldn't help, she should try not to cause trouble, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help it, so even though she wanted to look at that dear face and figure, she still turned around and huddled on that boulder. In the corner, he blocked his ears.

"I don't dare to look at it. If there is any change, you must call me!"

Wan Li agreed and took a peek at Uncle Bao in the distance.

Uncle Bao was also hiding behind a stone, but he was closer to the open space in the middle. He also knew that there was an accident, because before the calculated moment came, his old friend seemed to be unable to hold on. His eyes were not focused on Ruan Zhan like Xiao Xia and Wan Li, but instead looked at the entrance of the cave. When a dark shadow appeared there, he sighed deeply.

Yes, my old friend has been completely controlled by the evil spirit. Although he has not become a demon yet, his magic power has come out and he can no longer recognize people. This situation will be even more difficult for them. He saw Ruan Zhanbu's formation with his own eyes, and he knew very well that the formation could not be activated until the person setting it up entered the formation, which meant that Ruan Zhan had to start it himself after entering the formation, and no one else could help.

Moreover, activating that formation requires very strong spiritual power, which is definitely not possible with Ruan Zhan’s current ability. It must be at the moment of the lunar eclipse, when Ruan Zhan’s power reaches its strongest, and God’s ability drops to its weakest, only then can all this be achieved significance. So all he could do was help Ruan Zhan wait until it was time to enter the battle. Judging from the current situation, the situation is very unfavorable. It is unknown whether God's will can be prevented from becoming a devil, let alone Ruan Zhan's life.

But now there is no other way. We can only work together and fight hard.

In the blink of an eye, Ruan Zhan reluctantly stood up, and the hand holding the bloodwood sword could no longer lift. Uncle Bao ducked out from behind the stone, pulled out the sword from behind, scratched his own finger, and then wrote on the sword with blood. Cast a spell and aim it at your old friend's back.

"It turns out there is help, but what can you do to me!" Ruan's father didn't look back at all, and said arrogantly: "Then why are you scurrying around like a mouse in the cave and refusing to come out? If the two of them join forces, they will die more slowly. ? Ah, no, there should be three people, no, four, a person with no magic power but a special physique, a woman, and a person with some magic powers outside the barrier. What are you doing? Rounding me up? How do you know? Am I here? Why am I here? Did you catch me? Ah, I understand. You know that there will be a lunar eclipse in a while, which is the gateway for me to practice magic, so you came to kill me, right?" At the end of the sentence After a few words, his voice became sharper, and the red light in his eyes flashed horribly.

Ruan Zhan didn't know what to say. When he faced the so-called enemy for the first time, he felt very uneasy. He hesitated whether to take action and what moves to use. He was not at all as calm and calm as usual.

"You want to kill me? Then suffer death first!" Father Ruan took action suddenly without waiting for him to react. That gesture was so familiar, it turned out to be the palm thunder taught to him by his father. Ruan Zhan didn't know how to crack it, but he subconsciously used this trick.

Ruan's father's skill was already higher than Ruan Zhan's, and now he took the lead and had an overwhelming advantage. But when Uncle Bao saw his old friend's shoulders shrugging, he immediately used his most authentic and pure Taoist sword. The sword energy had the power of a soul-stirring spell, forcing Ruan's father to withdraw his strength to protect his vital points. The power of attacking Ruan Zhan was stagnant, giving Ruan Zhan a chance to breathe, and the thunder in his palm was released later. Also arrived.

In the mid-air, two palm thunders met, and on the other side, the sword energy and the green light ball collided. Only two explosions were heard. Uncle Bao's body shook, Ruan Zhan took two steps back, and Ruan's father was hit by the body. Despite the pincer attack, it didn't move at all.

"Haha! How are you? Are you convinced? You are no match for me!" Father Ruan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly.

"Azhan, wake up. He is no longer your father. If you continue to be weak, there will be no way for everyone to survive." Uncle Bao said to Ruan Zhan, who turned pale, without looking at his old friend.

The difference in strength in this duel was too huge, and he could not show any mercy. However, he sympathized with the child A Zhan, and even he did not dare to look at his old friend's face for fear that he would be swayed by his feelings, let alone this child? The family relationship between father and son, it is the blood relationship of destiny and cannot be separated. I really don’t know how Azhan faced this kind of torture when he was in the cave. If possible, he would like to love this child for his old friend. Although he is already an adult, now he has to force him!

The advantage was that he was familiar with all the fighting methods of his old friend, and he hoped that he could help the kid A Zhan fulfill his old friend's wish. In the end, A Zhan was given a glimmer of hope.
