The Exorcist

Chapter 54: Square Formation

There was a 'bang' sound, and all the mud and sand fell from the top of my head.

Ruan Zhan, Wan Li and Xiao Xia instinctively took a step back and raised their heads.

I saw a hole the size of a bowl opened on the roof of the perfectly good building. A vine hung down, grabbing Guan Zheng's back like a monster long arm and lifting him up from the ground.

"Are you the only ones prepared?" He looked down at Ruan Zhan, "Your spell skills are far from enough!"

"Don't panic, stand still." Ruan Zhan ignored Guan Zheng's arrogant shouting and ordered calmly.

Hearing his voice, Xiaoxia calmed down from her panic and resolutely retreated to the corner where she should be.

The moment she felt dizzy just now, she knew in her heart that Ruan Zhan had cast a spell. Although it was true that the three of them were standing in front of the altar at the beginning of the wedding, when Guan Zheng arrived, they were moved to a pre-designed position by Ruan Zhan using an improved time and space distortion technique, and they appeared in their place. The plants in front of the altar were plants that Ruan Zhan had cast spells on beforehand.

From this incident, it can be seen that Ruan Zhan is indeed a genius in Taoism. At every critical moment, he can not only come up with good strategies, but also strengthen his potential and make him master without any teacher. What his father taught him was integrated with what he understood.

Controlling plants and animals is witchcraft, and Ruan Zhan is not good at it, but he used spells to make up for it, and combined with the illusion that he was very good at, he created a false image, and then used Guan Zheng's mentality to actually He deceived Guan Zheng for a while, and made him suffer a little loss from the beginning.

"However, our acting skills are pretty good." Wan Li said nonchalantly, "Although we are dubbing on one side, you are still fooled!"

Guan Zheng snorted coldly and began to recite the spell again. Within ten seconds, there was a sound of 'pah pah pah' on the roof of the bamboo building, and the vines binding Guan Zheng were broken and fell straight to the ground. Come up, and Guan Zheng quickly breaks free of the restraints.

Angrily, he held a branch hanging from the roof with one hand, and waved his other hand, and saw another strange red vine springing out of his sleeve and curling directly towards Xiaoxia.

Xiao Xia didn't move - Ruan Zhan once said: As long as she sticks to her position, he will take care of everything!

As soon as the red vines were wrapped around Xiaoxia's waist, a black sword suddenly pierced through at an angle, and with a "swish" sound, the vines were neatly cut off at the waist. , the person who came was none other than Ruan Zhan, who was holding the bloodwood sword.

The red vine seemed to be alive. It twisted painfully after being cut off. The upper section rolled up like a snake, and the broken section was raised high towards Ruan Zhan. The lower section fell from Xiaoxia's waist. On the ground, it quickly withered after twisting twice.

"A little trick." Ruan Zhan chuckled and retreated to his seat.

"Really?" Guan Zheng was unconvinced, "I must take her away today, can you stop me?"

"Don't talk nonsense. You should escape first. No matter what, I can't give up my wife to you." Wan Li prodded him again.

"She is not yours, she will never be yours, and it is easy for me to leave." Guan Zheng was extremely arrogant, "I leave from this roof, what can you do to me?"

"You can try." Ruan Zhan was still cold.

"I don't have to try, you're not qualified. Do you think I'm fooling you? I'm just playing with you."

"You want to hang yourself on the roof and hang sausages?" Wan Li smiled, "You really know how to play."

Guan Zheng was furious and reached into his arms to get out the Gu worm. But before his hand made the next move, Ruan Zhan had already drawn a swirling symbol on his chest with his right hand, flicked it in the direction of Guan Zheng, and then pointed it at the ground.

Guan Zheng only felt a strong force suddenly pulling him down. He lowered his head, but there was nothing, but he felt that his feet were as heavy as lead weights. Moreover, the pulling force became stronger and stronger, and gradually a super strong suction force formed under his body, as if there was an invisible vortex on the ground trying to swallow him, forcing him to hold on to the branches with both hands to prevent himself from falling.

He yelled and recited another non-Chinese spell, and the red vines from his sleeves danced out strangely. He wanted to attack the three people below, but as soon as it dropped to two meters above the ground, it was succumbed to it. The invisible force was sucked into the middle, and even after several attempts, he could not reach the person he wanted to attack.

At this time, it seemed that Guan Zheng's hands could no longer keep his body from falling, so he hurriedly whistled sharply. As if the red vine had understood the call, it suddenly rolled back, like Guan Zheng's third hand. It penetrated the roof and temporarily hung him there securely.

Xiaoxia, who had been silent and just watching, felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw this scene. Although Guan Zheng learned the art of witchcraft and Gu, when these things are used in his hands, they give people a very evil and strange feeling. I don’t know how the kind and gentle Abaya could have such a disciple.

But although she didn't understand, she knew that today was a life-and-death fight. Ruan Zhan's potential has not yet been fully tapped, so he is at a disadvantage in terms of absolute strength. Fortunately, he has detailed arrangements, and I hope this can make up for the lack of strength.

But Guan Zheng is not an idiot, and of course he is prepared. The situation is so deadlocked now, and the outcome is unpredictable!

Seeing that Guan Zheng had temporarily gotten rid of his disadvantage, Ruan Zhan decided to increase the strength of the spell, and immediately drew the same swirling spell with his left hand, pointing to the ground.

Guan Zheng now has the advantage of high altitude. He must not be allowed to free his hands to perform his witchcraft. They must press closely, otherwise they will be passive.

Now that he had made up his mind, the power of the swirling spell naturally increased exponentially. He could only hear the crackling noise in the house, and the suction force on the ground pulled away the bamboo pieces and building materials that were loose due to holes on the roof. It was also sucked down, like a chaotic rain of mud and sand. But before these debris fell to the ground, they were thrown into other places by the centrifugal force of the invisible vortex. For a while, the sound of ‘ping pong’ s ping -pong ’in the room rang.

Guan Zhengdeng felt nervous again, because his shoes were rolled up and fell to the ground, and his hair and clothes were blown around. He had to use all his strength to maintain his balance.

"It's better to come down, otherwise you will look like a sausage with its casings peeled off." Wan Li said jokingly, "There is a young lady down here. She is almost seventy years old. It would be too immodest to be naked. Got it!"

Because he knew the closeness between Wan Li and Xiao Xia, Guan Zheng couldn't bear every word Wan Li said, especially when Wan Li ridiculed him so much, which made him so angry that he dropped his hand as soon as he loosened it. The force of the vortex was too great, and it fell heavily to the ground with a 'pop' sound.

When Ruan Zhan saw that Guan Zheng had fallen to the ground, his air superiority had been reversed, and the situation was back under his control and on the track of his calculations, he immediately withdrew his hand.

As soon as his spell power stopped, the suction force of the vortex disappeared immediately.

"Welcome to the Quad," he said.

Guan Zheng got up in embarrassment, extremely embarrassed and annoyed. Since the day he learned the art of witchcraft and Gu, he has never suffered such a loss. It was always him who controlled others, and when he was set up by others, this made him feel extremely hateful, and his eyes turned red. But after all, he has been practicing for so many years, but his face is still calm.

"He's right. You are a person who gets stronger when you encounter someone strong. It's very difficult to deal with. You actually made me suffer twice in a row and I couldn't take any action to fight back." He smiled, "But you can't do anything to me. , and it makes me feel more and more interested. Originally, I just wanted to take Xiaoxia away and leave you a way to survive, but you don't know how to show appreciation, so don't blame me for being rude. "

Before Ruan Zhan could answer, Wan Li started laughing.

"Are you okay? You lied without even writing a draft. What's rare is that the expression on your face is still so pitiful. How could you let us go? We all know the fate of everyone who has offended you. Being a bad guy means Do it openly, at least I still admire your straightforwardness, hypocrites are the most deadly."

"You don't need to judge me, you are just a pretty guy who chats with others and makes money!"

"You make it sound like I'm the kind of person who works at night." Wan Li didn't take it seriously and continued to stimulate Guan Zheng. Although Guan Zheng is an experienced veteran, he is confident that he can make him angry and gain the initiative for his own side.

This is Ruan Zhan's request - he is not afraid of the opponent's furious attack, but is afraid of delaying time. His strategy has a time limit.

"But at least I won't force others, because I am confident that I can make amends in other ways. What about you? What else can you do besides killing people? We already know your background completely, and there is no need to put on a sanctimonious appearance. It is indeed a bit nausea."

Guan Zheng stared at Wan Li without saying anything.

Although Wan Li had a smile on his face, his whole body was on guard. He had already seen the hand Guan Zheng used to attack him in the illusion just now. It's very fast, and you may not be able to avoid it even if you concentrate on it, so you can't be distracted.

"Since I'm so bad, what are you going to do?" Guan Zheng narrowed his eyes, flashing dangerously. He looked around and finally landed on Ruan Zhan's face, "Where is the square formation that welcomes me? Why are there only three people there!"

Ruan Zhan didn't answer. He just stretched out his hand and struck, and the large bamboo door in the room slammed shut in front of everyone, as if someone had slammed it hard.

Behind the door, on one side is a statue of the God of All Things, and on one side hangs a small embroidered purse. The color is quite old, and its appearance is no different from the purses used by ethnic minority girls as tokens of love.

Three people and one thing, guarding the four corners, isn't it a square formation or what?

This is the formation that Ruan Zhan decided to use after thinking about it for a long time. Guan Zheng has super strong abilities, and there is no chance of winning if they don't gather all their strength.

His father had taught him a lot, but he just kept it in his mind as theoretical common sense and never used it formally. This time, he decided to use this formation after comprehensively considering manpower, environment, opponents and many other circumstances.

It's a pity that this square formation requires four people, but there are only three of them, and he is the only one with magic. He has tried his best to make up for it, hoping to eventually eliminate Guan Zheng.

"Is this the fourth side of the square array?" Guan Zheng scolded him contemptuously, "I'm not even afraid of the gods of all things. Do you think I'm afraid of a wooden sign and a - what is that?"

"Your master's relic!" Ruan Zhan replied.

Guan Zheng was stunned for a moment. For a moment, the beautiful and kind-hearted fairy-like woman flashed in his mind, and he felt an indescribable feeling of self-blame in his heart. However, this was just a fleeting thought, and he immediately returned to normal.

"It seems you know everything."

"Of course. If you forget anything, I can also remind you. After all, you are an old man. Although I don't know how you maintain your appearance in your thirties." Wan Li said.

"My master's relics are of no use to me!"

"Really? Then try breaking the formation." Ruan Zhan made a 'please' gesture.

Before he finished speaking, Guan Zheng suddenly jumped up, jumping forward like a frog to Xiao Xia, and instantly threw the vine ball that he had used against Wan Li's illusion.

He didn't know how many traps there were in the octagonal building, but he knew that he was too trusting, and he was worried that this place would not be good for him, so he was eager to go downstairs. There is a wild place with a large number of plants and animals. He will be at ease there, unlike a tree without roots indoors. After all, he is a son of the forest.

This square formation requires four people to guard the four directions of due east, due west, due south and due north to protect the energy in the four directions. He saw blood-red spells painted on the walls in these four directions, and knew that they must be used to suppress the formation, otherwise it would be useless to have only four people standing in all four directions.

This is not a force formation, but a battle of arts formation, so it mainly relies on spells, spells, telekinesis and manipulation. And if you want to break the formation, you have to break through one side.

Among this four-square formation, Ruan Zhan's side is undoubtedly the strongest. Although Guan Zheng believed that his strength was superior to Ruan Zhan, Ruan Zhan's performance just now was enough to make him wary. He didn't want to fight head-on. After all, he didn't want to fight to the death. He just wanted to return to an environment that was more beneficial to him.

Although Wan Li on the second side is a mortal, he has great brute strength, strong yang energy, and is very shrewd and scheming under the playful surface, so he is not easy to deal with. If his attacks failed, Ruan Zhan would attack him from behind, which would put him at the same disadvantage.

As for the fourth party, he is not afraid of the wooden sign of the God of All Things, but he is a bit taboo about the wallet. Although he didn't know if it was really something left by his master, Ruan Zhan dared to use it to guard the fourth side of the square formation. It should not be a mortal thing, so he couldn't take the risk.

After much deliberation, the only option was to attack Xiaoxia's side. She is a delicate woman with a strong Yin energy and no magic. Although she will definitely be prepared, she is undoubtedly the weakest link.

He doesn't mind Xiaoxia's body being destroyed. That's not what he wants anyway. He wants her soul to be with him forever. As long as he doesn't let go, she can't leave! So he decided to attack Xiaoxia Mamoru's third party.

In a blink of an eye, his attack has arrived!

He thought that Xiaoxia would definitely die at this moment, but he didn't know that Xiaoxia's hand had been placed in the cloth bag slung over his shoulder. The moment Guan Zheng hesitated, he already knew that he would attack him, so before Guan Zheng took action, He had already taken out the contents of the bag.

As soon as the thing was taken out, it quickly grew in size and was as tall as half a person in the blink of an eye. Therefore, although Guan Zheng attacked quickly, he hit the takraw ball on the thing in front of Xiaoxia.

The vine wood ball only made a loud bang, and even the phosphorus fire was not seen, and it spread like powder.

If you look closely, you will see that it is a rusty metal flag with a faint red light, and a cinnabar charm attached to the flagpole. Guan Zheng knew that Xiaoxia was not able to sacrifice something with such spiritual power. It must be the talisman that Ruan Zhan had placed there in advance to make the flag automatically grow bigger when exposed to light.

However, although Guan Zheng's attack was ineffective, the force of the takraw ball he threw was too great, causing Xiao Xia to take several steps back, and did not stop until her back hit the wall heavily.

"Xiao Xia!" Ruan Zhan and Wan Li screamed almost at the same time, and Ruan Zhan almost rushed out of his guarding position.

"I'm fine! Leave me alone!" Xiao Xia's face turned pale, but her expression was stubborn, "He will never rush out from my side!"

"The Broken Banner?" Guan Zheng said clearly, "This soul-binding treasure actually allows you to use it as a shield."

"Did Sima Nan tell you?" Ruan Zhan said expressionlessly, "It's a pity that you didn't die to tell him. After killing you, it will be his turn next!"
