Gu Xu and Zhao Yan turned two corners and entered a remote alley.
At the end of the alley, there was a chaotic and hazy light, like a will-o'-the-wisp in a cemetery, blocking their sight.
Based on what he saw on the "Wangxiang Terrace", Gu Xu knew that there was the formation set up by Hu Yun to transform Shi Xiaohan into a "ghost servant".
Reason told him that he should observe calmly first and make a decision before taking action.
After all, Hu Yun is not the ordinary ghosts recorded in books, but a "ghost attendant" who was transformed from a practitioner.
His weaknesses, his fighting style, and the moves he is good at are all unknown.
If you rush forward rashly, you may be in danger.
But in this situation, it was difficult for him to remain absolutely calm.
Because Shi Xiaohan’s painful groans were coming intermittently from the chaotic light. Although he couldn't see her, Gu Xu could imagine the torture she was suffering.
So Gu Xu made a decisive decision and broke in first, using the "Seven Burning Sky Techniques" to destroy the formation just like he had done against Kongxuan Sanren's promotion formation, and then acted according to the opportunity.
He now has the authority over the "Cosmos" and can use the "Astrolabe" to determine his orientation. Although he cannot continuously construct space channels in a short period of time, he can achieve multiple short-distance teleportations.
If you can't defeat him, then take Shi Xiaohan and run away directly.
While he was thinking, he used his body skills and rushed straight to the end of the alley like a ghost.
Zhao Yan froze on the spot for a moment, then spread out her fire phoenix wings and followed Gu Xu's pace.
This is her first battle after awakening her bloodline. It is a perfect opportunity for her to hone herself and test new tricks.
She didn’t want the limelight to be stolen by Gu Xuquan.
Within the formation, Yin Qi surged, and light and shadow were chaotic.
Shi Xiaohan stood in the center of the formation, his eyes closed, his face pale, and his originally red lips had lost their color. He looked like a reed trembling in the north wind.
Mr. Hu told her that this formation could get her out of danger and teleport her to a safe place.
Perhaps out of trust in the academy teacher, or perhaps influenced by the bird seal mark on the back of his neck, Shi Xiaohan did not have any doubts about this, and walked into Mimi Lake. In the formation.
Then Hu Yun began to recite the incantation.
Shi Xiaohan suddenly felt that countless evil winds penetrated into her sea of consciousness, like knives, cutting her soul painfully.
If "Ling Chi" is a torture, then what she is suffering now is a mental "death by a thousand cuts."
She began to feel that something was wrong. She felt that this teleportation array was different from the normal teleportation arrays she had seen before. How could it torture people so much?
But at this time, her consciousness had begun to gradually become dull.
It’s like takingAs if drugged, my head becomes heavy, my thoughts become confused, my vision becomes vague, and even the pain becomes distant, as if the pain is not my own, but another person's.
Vaguely, in the gloomy and dim light, she glimpsed a cemetery overgrown with vegetation, and a translucent figure wearing a crown and an imperial robe, floating in the air like a ghost. figure.
"Are you willing to be loyal to me?" I heard the figure say in a majestic tone.
Shi Xiaohan's consciousness had long been in chaos, and he was no longer able to discern the danger hidden in this sentence.
Under the influence of the formation, the word "willing" flowed to her lips uncontrollably.
Once she opens her mouth, she will sign a contract, lose her self-awareness, and become another "ghost attendant" of the Mangshan Ghost King.
However, at this moment, a change occurred.
In the dim light, dots of orange-red light suddenly appeared, like fireflies on countless summer nights. They were not dazzling at first glance, but they contained scorching warmth.
This scene was like a dream, making Shi Xiaohan feel very familiar and close to her. Unfortunately, her thoughts were hazy and she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
Subsequently, these fireflies fell to the ground one after another.
The entire formation instantly burst into flames.
The pain subsided and the dim light faded away.
The surrounding temperature rises sharply.
The ghost wearing imperial robes in the illusion also disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
This sudden change made Shi Xiaohan a little overwhelmed.
She wanted to raise her hands and rub her eyes.
However, she found that a pair of heavy shackles had appeared on her wrists at some point, binding her hands together.
The shackles are engraved with many complicated runes.
But Shi Xiaohan, as a rune idiot, naturally cannot understand the meaning and function of these runes.
She tried to use her true energy to break the shackles.
But the runes on the shackles suddenly flashed with a gray-green light, blocking her true energy in her meridians, making her completely unable to use her strength.
"My true energy is locked." She realized.
She looked around anxiously, trying to find Hu Jiaoxi in the chaos, wanting to ask him what was going on.
Suddenly, a familiar voice broke into her ears
"Xiaohan, come with me quickly"
"Gu Xu"
When Gu Xu's figure appeared in front of him, Shi Xiaohan shouted in surprise, and his mind seemed to become clearer.
He stood in the firelight, his clothes were ragged, and his handsome face showed worry.
In his eyes as deep as a cold pool, Shi Xiaohan saw his own reflection.
She ran straight towards him without thinking.
Although Shi Xiaohan oftenShe keeps saying things like "I will protect you from now on," but when it comes to such a dangerous moment, Gu Xu will become the most solid support in her subconscious.
Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also always able to create miracles. Whenever he thinks of how he defeated Kongxuan Sanren on Yishan Mountain and allowed the two of them to escape death, Shi Xiaohan would find it incredible.
However, as soon as he took a step, Shi Xiaohan felt his legs soften, as if they had turned into cotton, and he fell heavily to the ground.
She groaned in pain, put her hands on the ground, and struggled to get up from the ground.
But she felt that the muscles in her legs were stiff and unresponsive, as if her lower body no longer belonged to her.
"Sorry." She said in a weak voice.
Gu Xu frowned.
He knew that this was the damage caused to her by the formation set up by Hu Yun. Although the formation did not succeed in erasing her self-awareness, it made her soul so weak that she could hardly Be flexible and in control of your body.
This scene made him furious and made him want to crush the ghost king of Mangshan and his "ghost attendants" to ashes.
But his expression became calmer.
He knelt down in front of Shi Xiaohan and smiled gently at her, "It's okay, I'll carry you."
Shi Xiaohan bit his lips and didn't speak, only feeling a sore nose. Sour.
She has never hated herself as weak and powerless as she does today.
Gu Xu lowered his head and looked at the pair of shackles on her hands.
The runes on the shackles are quite complex and must have been made by the master. Gu Xu guessed that among the group of "ghost attendants" of the Mang Mountain Ghost King, there was probably a very accomplished Talisman Master.
It will take a lot of time to crack the runes.
So Gu Xu used his true energy and tried to use violent methods to break the shackles, but found that the shackles were stronger than he thought, without even a single crack.
In desperation, he could only grab Shi Xiaohan's bound arms and put them directly around his neck, then he held her thighs with both hands and carried her up.
Shi Xiaohan lay softly on his back, leaning his face on his shoulder. At this moment, she could clearly feel his body temperature and see the tiny beads of sweat on his cheeks.
Although they have been engaged for a long time, because Shi Xiaohan is shy easily, she often blushes and scoots away when Gu Xu teases her, so the two of them usually hold hands at most, and rarely do anything. Intimate contact like this, even the first kiss is still retained.
But today, Shi Xiaohan no longer felt shy.
She just wanted to be close to him, as if his not-thick shoulders could bring her a steady stream of security.
Gu Xu couldn't help but silently lamented that this girl weighed much less than I thought. Who would have thought that such a thin girl could have a terrifying appetite comparable to ancient ferocious beasts
However, for the convenience of movement, Gu Xu still took the food from "Xianyunju"Take out a "Fengxing Talisman" and stick it on Shi Xiaohan's body.
This made her body instantly become as light as paper, making him almost unable to feel her weight.
"Xiaohan, you may not know," Gu Xu used his spiritual consciousness to transmit to her, "your physique is very special. It is the legendary demon body, and you have a power that is not weaker than the Youzhou Yanling." The potential of the body.
“Your teacher, the undefeated sword god Hu Yun, is actually the ghost attendant of the Ghost King of Mangshan.
“Because the Ghost King of Mang Mountain took a fancy to your physique and wanted to turn you into his ghost attendant, he asked Hu Yun to lure you into this formation.
"The function of this formation is to erase your self-awareness and turn you into a puppet who obeys the orders of the Mangshan Ghost King. ”
Gu Xu has practiced the Divine Soul Technique before. Now that he has broken through to the fourth level, the strength of his Divine Soul has reached a higher level. With his cultivation talent far beyond ordinary people, he has mastered it effortlessly. The art of spiritual sound transmission.
His words were like a stone hitting the calm lake, which made Shi Xiaohan feel uneasy for a long time.
Mr. Hu turned out to be. The "Ghost Servant" of the Ghost King of Mangshan
It turns out that he didn't want to protect me, but wanted to turn me into a "Ghost Servant"
Recalling all the details from before, The more Shi Xiaohan thought about it, the more frightened she became.
Her slender arms were wrapped around Gu Xu's neck. At the same time, she tried her best to drive her lead-like legs to squeeze his waist, just wanting to hug him. Tighter.
At the same time, Zhao Yan was already fighting with Hu Yun.
It was precisely because of her restraint on Hu Yun that Gu Xu had a fight. Opportunity to destroy the formation and rescue Shi Xiaohan
I saw Zhao Yan spreading her fire phoenix wings, floating in the air, holding the spear "Yizhangwei" in her hand, and her whole body was surrounded by flames.
Her cold gaze, her awe-inspiring temperament, her fluttering dress, her plump and fit body, and her looming pair of fair, round and long legs under the red skirt made Gu Xu couldn't help but think of the myths and legends of his past life.
Hu Yun stood in front of her with one arm and a knife.
He was dressed in rags, his face was haggard, and he smelled like a street person. A beggar begging for food.
His sword skills looked plain and simple, without any brilliant light and shadow.
But when he swung his sword towards Zhao Yan, he showed awe. , but not inferior to the Valkyrie-like Zhao Yan at all.
This is the special feature of "Ghost Warrior"
While erasing the monk's personal will, it retains it. Its cultivation and magical powers allow it to still fight like a human monk.
In addition, like Gu Xu's "Tai Shang Arctic Demon Suppression and Ghost Killing Talisman", it can fight against ghosts with evil attributes. It has huge lethality, but it has no effect on the "Ghost Warrior"
While Hu Yun was swinging the sword, apart from the "swish" sound of the blade cutting through the air, Gu Xu could also vaguely hear it. There was a clear dragon roar
"The first move of the Pingtian Sword Technique, Dragon Howl."
Gu Xu immediately thought of a sword technique.
The Pingtian Sword Technique is a high-grade martial art passed down from the Sichuan sword pavilion. It is said to be powerful, but very few people can learn it clearly. Among the younger generation of Jiange, only Su Xiao and Qi Yuanshan can fully use the first three moves.
But he quickly realized that Hu Yun was using a knife, not a sword.
Reminiscent of Hu Yun’s status as an “abandoned disciple of the Sword Pavilion”, Gu Xu couldn’t help but sigh that this man was truly a genius, and he was able to adapt a difficult and difficult swordsmanship into a swordsmanship. .
It would be great if he did not become a "ghost waiter".
Facing Hu Yun’s fierce offensive, Zhao Yan did not retreat even a step.
She thrust her spear in front of her, and the gun's flames were dazzling, blocking Hu Yun's majestic sword intent.
The roar of the dragon stopped suddenly, and the cry of the phoenix echoed throughout the nine heavens.
The two forces collided, causing wild air currents to surge in all directions, breaking the branches of trees, tearing off the flags of restaurants, and breaking the windows of houses; cracks also appeared on the surrounding walls. Cracks, shaking off countless dust and gravel.
"I have become stronger." Zhao Yan thought silently, feeling the power surging in her blood.
Hu Yun possesses strength close to the peak of the sixth realm, and possesses superb sword skills.
Zhao Yan had just broken through the fifth level, but in the first round of the confrontation, she was evenly matched with him, and even had a slight upper hand.
In the past, this would have been impossible.
On the one hand, Zhao Yan lamented the amazing potential of the "Fire Spirit Body", and on the other hand, she became increasingly grateful to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu, as a "human flint", ignited her hope when she was most discouraged and made her see the bright future in the dark.
Without him, she might never be able to experience this powerful feeling in her entire life.
At this time, Gu Xu came to her side with Shi Xiaohan on his back.
He held Shi Xiaohan's leg with his left hand and held the astrolabe with his right hand. Without saying a word, he directly performed the second form of "Seven Burning Heaven Forms", "Bright Candle".
"Mingzhu" uses the monks themselves as materials to construct formations.
Use true energy as energy and spiritual will as the formation eye.
Once the construction is successful, the area of more than ten meters centered on the monk will become a high-temperature area, enough to melt metal.
At the same time, all fire-attribute spells used by Gu Xu will have about three times the original power, which is very suitable for dealing with enemies with a higher level than him.
Just because "Mingzhu" consumes too much real energy and cannot be maintained for a long time, Gu Xu rarely used this move in the past.
But as his realm broke through, his total amount of true energy increased significantly, which was enough to support the operation of "Ming Zhu".
Three, two, one.
His eyes closed and opened again.
Rolling heat waves centered on him and rushed in all directions.Soon the entire alley was flooded.
Zhao Yan glanced at him pretending to be casual.
Looking at him and Shi Xiaohan on his back, seeing how they trusted and relied on each other, a hint of envy emerged in her heart.
Zhao Yan has been lonely since she was a child.
Even though she has a beautiful appearance and a prominent family background, she has never made a real friend, let alone a lover she truly likes.
In men's eyes, admiration is often hidden with fear; in women's words, compliments are often mixed with alienation.
Even her father, who is closest to her by blood, has been hiding things from her and deceiving her.
She couldn’t help but wonder if one day in the future, I was the one kidnapped by ghosts, would anyone be willing to get angry and become a beauty? And in the future, would I meet someone who would make me willing? The person who risked his life to save her at all costs
However, before she could think of the answer to the question, the true energy in her body boiled again. And the "holy fire totem" on her body also shone bright red uncontrollably.
"What's going on?" Zhao Yan was confused about what happened to her.
Gu Xu, who was standing next to him, saw this scene and couldn't help but be deeply surprised by "Mingzhu"'s ability to strengthen fire-attribute spells. It seemed to be not only effective on myself, but also on Zhao Yan. ,
