Chapter 39: Reunion
"Clang."
It was a crunching sound in the darkness!
Lu Xueqi's face was as cold as frost, blocking in front of Zhang Xiaofan's body, fighting to draw her sword.
Tianya came out of its sheath!
Blue light suddenly rose, a pure and brilliant pillar of light, reflecting the dark world.
In an instant, all the ghostly light of the Yin Spirits lost its luster in front of this blue light, despite this, these Yin Spirits did not seem to be afraid of it and still rushed over from all directions.
Lu Xueqi let out a soft shout, her pale face swept through a trace of pain, but was immediately replaced by a stronger look.
Under the master's urging, the Tianya Divine Sword bloomed with blue light, shining brightly as it swept across the sky to meet the Yin Spirits rushing in front of it.
Only to see in the blue light and those Yin Ling contact moment, immediately resounded "ZiZi" almost fried burst sound, when the first dozens of Yin Ling immediately into nothing, soul flying scattered.
The sound echoed in the open and dark place, creepy.
Just Tianya Divine Sword power is certainly overwhelming, but can not deter the rest of the Yin spirit, only in Lu Xueqi shot at the same time, there are a number of Yin spirit from the back pounced on the body of Zhang Xiaofan fainted on the ground.
Lu Xueqi looked out of the corner of her eye, returned to the body, Tianya Divine Sword only in Zhang Xiaofan's body flat swept and dispersed the few Yin spirit.
But the number of Yin Ling around is too much to kill, can not kill, Lu Xueqi and injured in the front, not a few rounds is drenched in sweat, breathing heavy. But feel a ghost face all around the flying ghost cry, teeth and claws, Tianya blue light gradually weakened, Lu Xueqi clenched her teeth, but is still a soft feet, fell to Zhang Xiaofan's side.
The roaming Yin Spirit in the whistling sound vaguely heard the sound of complacent ghosts crying, the ghostly white light is big, Yin Qi as weaving. Lu Xueqi turned her head and glanced at Zhang Xiaofan.
That teenager was unconscious at the moment, but there was a look of pain on his face, but did he think of something sad?
Lu Xueqi recited in a low voice, "I never thought that I would die with you today!"
She sat up straight, at the moment on the face is not the slightest blood, but she still refused to give up, the fingers of the right hand stretching, for orchid magic, with her gesture, Tianya divine sword in mid-air slightly pause, Huo Ran inverted and down, "clang" sound inserted into the ground in front of the Lu Xueqi, followed by the blue light and then, the ground appeared in a Tianya divine sword as the center! The two of them are surrounded by a circle of light.
Surrounded by Yin spirit see delicious flesh and blood in front of the eyes, where still cared so much, a road sprinted on, but a few moments later, on the ground that the circle of light suddenly upward a rise, suddenly see the blue light rise, Ruiqi steam, only to see that the blue light, such as spirit, in a circular arc from the two flashed above the head, and then the Yin spirit blocked on the outside.
But if it is clear-eyed people look, they can see that this circle of light light is too weak, which is also a gas Rui Qi, just Lu Xueqi dying struggle only.
See to the mouth of the food and was blocked, the sky is very angry, ghost cries louder and louder, countless Yin Ling hard to hit this fragile aperture, every hit, Lu Xueqi body shivered a bit, the face is pale a point, the Tianya Divine Sword's luster is also dimmed a point, the original two people high aperture, in just a short period of time, was pressed to less than one person's size.
Lu Xueqi face as white as paper, eyes outside the aperture of those Yin Spirit phantom human face reveals a hideous and horrible smile, eyes open their big mouth, her whole person is like plunged into the ice cellar in general.
Right at this moment, she suddenly heard, from the mouth of Zhang Xiaofan, who was unconscious beside her, suddenly speak indistinctly.
Lu Xueqi turned her head suddenly, there are no words to describe her mood at this moment, all along she has been fighting with these Yin Spirits alone, and suddenly hearing the voice of her companion, there is actually a kind of never-before-experienced joy that flooded her heart.
But before she could see Zhang Xiaofan's appearance, a sudden change occurred, the two of them were sitting on the ground, this is a piece of hard ground, at this moment, but suddenly in Zhang Xiaofan's place noiselessly cracked open a big hole, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly fell down.
Lu Xueqi's entire body froze for a moment, only to see that the hole was so dark that it was impossible to see clearly how deep it was, only in the depths, there was a pair of huge and terrifying blood-red eyes that flickered and flashed!
The next moment, without any hesitation, Tianya Divine Sword emitted a circle of light dissipated, in the roaming Yin Ling whistling sound, Lu Xueqi reached out and pulled up Tianya, more no two words, to the deep black hole, plunged and down!
A few moments later, mid-air all the Yin Ling, also follow and into, ear-piercing whistling, resounded through the hole.
The dull crash sounded in the hole, a few moments later, in the whistling sound of the drumming of the Yin spirit, suddenly sounded a sharp and ear-piercing long roar.
"Ow..."
The pained cry sounded a bit like a wild boar's furious roar when it was injured, and a moment later, a huge figure first leapt out of the hole, followed by countless Yin spirits scurrying out and flying all over the sky.
Lu Xueqi in the gusts of ghostly light, the left hand to help Zhang Xiaofan leaped out of the ground, the corner of the mouth out of a crimson blood, the left half of the body is a large area of red, it seems to be also injured.
And Zhang Xiaofan can only rely on Lu Xueqi to be able to stand at the moment, but his eyes opened, the burning stick re-lighted, although weak, but still exudes a metaphysical green color light.
This young man and woman, in the middle of this dark world, supported each other and relied on each other.
Lu Xueqi looked at the Yin Spirits that were flying angrily all over the sky but still didn't dare to rush down, her heart suddenly burst with indescribable joy, although she was not yet out of danger, it was really good to have someone standing by her side.
Afterwards, the two of them's eyes fell onto that huge shadow in front of them, lining the white light emitted by the Yin Spirit, they saw the appearance of that demonic beast after smelling a strong and extremely rotten odor.
It was a huge demonic beast that was only two people tall, with a pig's head and a dog's body, long and sharp fangs, its entire body was reddish-black, its brown hairs were as upright as steel needles, and its pair of huge eyes appeared blood-red in the darkness, which resembled the Red Devil Eyes of the Demon Sect's Demon Boss of the Year. (Note 1)
At this moment this demonic beast lying on the far side of the huffing and puffing, in its black dirty fur, left front paw at the flesh turned over, it seems to be by Lu Xueqi injured. And it also stared straight at the two hurt it human, eyes shot out bone-deep hatred, straight desire to swallow before fast!
The Yin Spirit danced in the sky, also flew past the body of this demonic beast, but did not attack it, apparently they have always been each other well water does not offend river water.
Lu Xueqi only felt pain and fatigue all around her body, almost wanting to just fall down and sleep like this, not having to think about anything anymore, but after a few struggles, she still held on and whispered to Zhang Xiaofan, "There are too many demonic beasts and Yin Spirits here, I don't know what else will come out in a little while, so let's retreat first."
Where would Zhang Xiaofan have an opinion, he nodded in agreement. The duo retreated backward, but unfortunately, when they took a step, the Yin Spirits in the sky followed them, and the demonic beast seemed unwilling to give up, and actually followed them as well. This kind of walk stopped, the Yin Spirit was concerned about Zhang Xiaofan's burning stick, and that pig-headed demonic beast seemed to have some scruples about the two of them, but refused to stop there.
Zhang, Lu two people originally body was injured, in this dark and humid death spirit abyss, and after a series of fierce fighting, has long been exhausted, at this moment, if not for the spirit of the Yin and the demonic beast bitterly forced, I'm afraid that the two of them a relaxation of the spirit, will be both fainted.
But at the moment he two people facing a life and death situation, the body also do not know where to come from the courage and vitality, actually struggled to the present.
This is never for the righteous people know of the dead spirit abyss, is actually a big amazing huge abyss, he two people here retreat for half a day, actually still only walking in the open space, not the shadow of the wall, do not know then fall down, how will fall to such a far place?
Just his two now also have no time to think about this problem, the front around are all the demonic beasts Yin Ling, life and death is really only in a moment. Zhang Lu two people are at their wits' end, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a pain in the back, actually hit a hard object.
Has been his two do not dare to the demonic beasts have the slightest carelessness, so they are just walking backward, this suddenly hit, Zhang Xiaofan ate a shock, hastily turned back, but accidentally saw actually is a large tree, tree trunk thick, looks like no three people can not be embraced over.
Zhang Xiaofan only then put down his heart, looking at the back of the Lu Xueqi said: "Nothing, a tree only..."
Words did not finish, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly felt a pain in the throat, the neck was a rope-like things wrapped around, the whole person was a huge force screwed up.
Lu Xueqi was shocked, turned back to look in shock, lost his voice: "Tree demon!" (Note 2)
Only to see this large tree growing alone in this clearing, at this moment, all the static branches were actually moving like human arms, and the one that entangled Zhang Xiaofan was one of the thick branches. In the darkness, the tree demon's sudden dancing posture was like a demon from the Nine Specters.
Zhang Xiaofan only felt that the tree on his neck was getting tighter and tighter, gradually gasping for air, Lu Xueqi just wanted to rescue, but only heard a distant roar that shook the sky and the earth, that pig-headed demonic beast seized the opportunity to leap up, the huge claws flashed with an ethereal green light, and struck his head, and I'm afraid that it still carries a huge poison.
Lu Xueqi had no choice but to turn back to fight, but the figure was blocked by it, several times want to go over to rescue Zhang Xiaofan and could not get, but instead, they are also even in danger.
Zhang Xiaofan was captured by the tree demon, throat pain, but see the tree demon issued a difficult sound of luzhu sound, think most of the meaning of joy, wrapped around the neck of the tree to pull themselves backward to the tree body, and at the same time there are a few branches over the body wrapped around his body, in addition to the two hands can dance, actually can not be struggled again.
Zhang Xiaofan heart anxious as burning, look to Lu Xueqi but found her self-care, turn around to see more dead soul, only to see the tree demon's trunk above, slowly cracked open a big mouth, inside the pungent fishy smell gushing out, and the tree is pulling him to that big mouth, I'm afraid that this is the tree demon's big mouth.
Zhang Xiaofan shivered, to death he had never thought that he would one day be a tree's fertilizer, this kind of death was really hard to accept.
But now the arrow is on the string, he did move towards the big mouth minute by minute, the stench is getting heavier and heavier, in the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaofan's forehead cold sweat beaded down.
See on the edge of the mouth, Zhang Xiaofan also do not know where to come from the strength, struggling to struggle, with his feet against the trunk of the tree refused to move forward, but unfortunately the tree demon power is unusually large, the tree pulls a few times, Zhang Xiaofan was exhausted, was sent to the mouth of the mouth.
The strong smell of fishy, I do not know this tree demon has killed many living beings, Zhang Xiaofan in this life and death of a hair, death struggle, struggling to raise his hand, holding the only weapon on hand fire stick, to the tree demon next to the big mouth inserted.
On the fire stick, especially on the round pearl at the front end, an eerie green light was emitted.
The originally thick and blunt fire stick, being swung by Zhang Xiaofan to hit the tree demon, was even like a divine weapon, chopping and slicing into the tree demon's extremely hard tree trunk. The branches of the tree demon dancing in the sky suddenly froze and did not move at that instant.
Zhang Xiaofan himself was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, in his heart, a sudden wave of fear flooded through him.
A familiar, cold sensation swam through his entire body, and then it brought with it a brand new aura, as silk warmth flowed from the Burning Fire Stick and into Zhang Xiaofan's body, as it had done some time ago, when Zhang Xiaofan had fought with the vampire, Jiang Laosan, in the Ancient Cave of Ten Thousand Bats.
Zhang Xiaofan's entire body was in mid-air, frozen!
He looked at what was happening in front of his eyes woodenly. After the originally unbeatable, arrogant and vicious tree demon was merely inserted into his body by a seemingly ugly burning stick, his huge body, which was disproportionate to the burning stick, withered rapidly, and all the branches and strips and even the trunk of the tree, as if all the water had been drained out of it, dried up and curled up, and the leaves fell down like a shower of rain, and after letting out the last roar of his life, the entire tree collapsed. After letting out the last roar of its life, the entire tree collapsed with a loud bang, and with that, it was turned into ashes.
Zhang Xiaofan landed on the ground and was stunned, he didn't even need luck to know that the gust of warmth sucked in by the burning stick was greatly beneficial to his body, the originally injured meridians were nourished by the new warmth of the breath, and greatly improved.
He looked at the burning stick in his hand, only to see that in the gentle rotation of the metaphysical green light, as if he had eaten his fill, the burning stick exuded a heartfelt glow, especially on top of the stick's body, the originally not very obvious blood filaments, at this moment, as if it had sucked up blood, it brightened and reddened with a point of hideousness.
"Dang", this horrible looking burning stick slipped out of Zhang Xiaofan's hand, fell to the ground, jumped twice, and stood still.
Leaving Zhang Xiaofan's palm, this miraculous black rod even looked like it had lost its parasitic host, all the light immediately disappeared, transforming into a plain and ugly ordinary black rod.
Zhang Xiaofan breathed deeply, his heart and mind were in turmoil, and only one voice echoed in his mind: what is this, what is this?
Just at this moment, suddenly there was a cry of pain from Lu Xueqi in the distance, Zhang Xiaofan was suddenly awakened and turned his head to look, only to see Lu Xueqi surrounded by countless Yin Spirits and that pig-headed demonic beast, the whole person seemed to have been struck by a heavy blow and flew backward, with a large portion of his clothes red, at a glance it was clear that he had been injured quite heavily.
Zhang Xiaofan was so agitated that he didn't care about the mess, he grabbed the fire stick in his hand and flew towards Lu Xueqi.
In mid-air, the burning stick was in his hand, as if with a hint of a smile, re-lighting an arcane green colored light that illuminated his face.
Wherever Zhang Xiaofan passed, countless Yin Spirits evaded and fled in all directions, in the blink of an eye Zhang Xiaofan caught up with Lu Xueqi, but the pig-headed demonic beast in front of him flinched at the Burning Fire Stick and roared as it pounced.
Zhang Xiaofan anxious, worried about Lu Xueqi injury, and then refused to retreat, the same roar, the use of down the mountain before the teacher's mother Su Ru passed on the Taoist law, the burning stick Huo Ran away from the hand, such as an arrow from the strings, to the pig-headed demonic beast rushed.
Pig-headed demon beast see this a small black stick rushed to, huge front paw swing, want to this nasty thing set aside, and then rushed up to this two nasty but delicious human swallowed into the stomach to eat a good meal.
Unexpectedly, the palm of the hand just swung out, will feel the palm of the hand a cold, a moment later, the heart is actually a cold, this pig-headed demonic beast was stunned for a moment, look down, actually saw the palm of the hand now a small hole, and the chest heart, actually also appeared in a small hole, his entire body, was actually by the seemingly inconspicuous burning stick through and through.
"Ow"!
The pig-headed demonic beast let out a heart-breaking roar, and its huge body shook for a moment, as if it pushed a mountain down, and landed heavily on the ground, dust flying. Then, it struggled on the ground for a few times, black blood flowing out from the corner of its mouth, and finally stopped moving.
At this time, Zhang Xiaofan caught Lu Xueqi, but saw that her whole body was cold, and she was already unable to support herself and fainted. While the burning stick that had killed another living being flickered with a metaphysical green color and flew back brightly, landing in Zhang Xiaofan's hand.
Zhang Xiaofan at this moment only feel God inflatable gas enough, the body's injuries is actually good for most of the time, and checked Lu Xueqi's breathing, but found that she was short of breath, look down, only to see her left shoulder wound skin has become black, obviously in the poison.
Zhang Xiaofan heart anxious as burning, but concerned about the surrounding although two demonic beasts have died, but there are countless Yin spirit, only to turn and look, unexpectedly a look, but see those Yin spirit do not know when, have been gradually far away, hidden into the darkness. Zhang Xiaofan was greatly dismayed, but this is a good thing to do, where to think so much, and quickly turned back to take care of Lu Xueqi.
In fact, Zhang Xiaofan did not know, this is all thanks to his burning stick on the "blood devouring beads" gift. Eight hundred years ago, the black heart old man light big demonic religion "refining blood hall" line, famous world, and in this ten thousand bats ancient cave underground labyrinth, founded the refining blood hall of the fundamental foundation.
And the black heart old man is the ferocious person, that year refining this blood devouring bead is the casualty of countless living beings, of which I do not know how many were killed by the grievances of the spirit gathered in the death of the spirit of the abyss, not to be born again.
Back then, they were all victimized by this blood devouring bead, although today, the blood devouring bead and the nameless ferocious stick become one, the shape has changed greatly, the ferociousness of the fierce aura convergence.
But once Zhang Xiaofan casting spells, the blood devouring beads of that ferocious gas immediately revealed, these Yin spirit one by one is scared to slip away, a few thought that the year that ferocious god of the old man of the black heart once again resurfaced.
Zhang Xiaofan put Lu Xueqi slowly into the ground, hesitate for a moment, looking at that has become a black wound, sighed.
※※※
It was as if the eternal darkness had returned to a calm, deathly silence.
Zhang Xiaofan slightly felt a little dizzy, but looked at the bandaged wound Lu Xueqi's face is no longer black, which is a sigh of relief.
He guarded beside this unconscious woman and sat quietly.
The Burning Stick emitted an eerie green light that enveloped them.
Silence surrounded them!
Silence!
Not even the sound of insects, there was actually no sound. It was as if there was really no living thing under the Necropolis Abyss, except for the Yin Spirit Demon Beasts.
However, right at this moment, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, suddenly sounded.
These footsteps in the darkness were soft and harmonious, but in Zhang Xiaofan's ears, they were like thunderbolts from the sky. He stood up with a huff and turned his head towards the place where the footsteps sounded, while gripping his Burning Stick tightly.
In the distance, in the darkness, there was a little bit of light that moved over, and then, a woman appeared in the light, dressed in a water-green dress, with fine eyebrows, jade-like skin that was frosty and snowy, as if it had a demonic splendor in this darkness, and it actually had a kind of stirring, eerie beauty.
Zhang Xiaofan suddenly opened his mouth wide, stunned speechless, this woman is actually when he went down the mountain, in the Heyang City Mountain and Sea Garden encountered that green girl.
