The Exorcist

Chapter 55: Stalemate

As soon as Ruan Zhan finished speaking, he casually formed a fire mudra and patted Guan Zheng's face directly.

Guan Zheng didn't dare to be lazy. He waved his hand hurriedly and made two strange single sounds from his mouth. The red vines hidden in his sleeves sprang out and quickly formed a ball, blocking the first attack like a grass shield.

But the fire made by the fire hand seal was not an ordinary fire, it contained magic power, so it did not fall to the ground or go out because of the obstruction, but stuck on the 'grass shield' and drilled another inch into it. , and then it burst into flames.

The moment a palm-sized fire handprint burned, it expanded rapidly like a drop of blood dripping in clear water, igniting the entire shield and hanging like a big fireball one foot in front of Guan Zheng.

The red vines twisted in pain and made harsh friction sounds, but they did not spread out. They continued to burn and danced up and down at will under the command of Guan Zheng from behind, killing Ruan Zhan's second and third ones. All three fire hand seals stopped him.

This square formation is a defensive formation, because Wan Li, Xiao Xia and the holy object can only defend but not attack. Therefore, in fact, only Ruan Zhan is fighting Guan Zheng, and the other two can only guard their positions and be wary of Guan Zheng's actions.

Although Ruan Zhan's several attacks made Guan Zheng very embarrassed, he parried them all, and after adapting to the slight panic after the heavy setback, he began to fight back.

He manipulated the 'grass shield' with his right hand, not caring about how the monster was struggling and whining. He raised his left hand, and following his strange command, another red vine sprang out from the cuff, wrapped in the sound of the wind. , quickly rolled towards Xiaoxia again. Judging from the castration, it is not something that ordinary people can resist. If it is involved, it is not a matter of where it will be pulled, but it is simply possible to be squeezed to death.

Ruan Zhan was shocked when he saw this, and quickly raised the Blood Wood Sword to help. However, as soon as he took a step out of his position, he heard Guan Zheng sneer. He had already taken advantage of Ruan Zhan's attack to slow down, and sent the fireball controlled by his right hand towards Wanli. Push over there, and the method of attacking Xiaoxia is very different. If the attack on Xiaoxia was already very ferocious, then the attack on Wan Ligang was even more merciless. Almost in the blink of an eye, the fireball had already arrived in front of Wan Li.

Wan Li yelled and fell to the ground, barely dodging the blow. It's just that this fire is Ruan Zhan's magical fire, and it won't be extinguished unless he takes it back; and the demon vine is controlled by Guan Zheng, and he won't go back if he doesn't summon it, so the fireball hit the air and turned around to attack Wanli again. .

Over there, another demon vine had rolled up in front of Xiao Xia, and Ruan Zhan's Blood Wood Sword could barely cut it off. This demonic vine is the same as the previous one. One section is twisting and withering on the ground, and the other section is shrinking back like a living snake. From the appearance, it has not shortened after being cut off. It can still stretch and contract flexibly when attacking. It's so long that you can't see the root, and I don't know how it was hidden in Guan Zheng's cuffs.

After relieving the crisis on Xiaoxia's side, Ruan Zhan swayed and returned to his position. Because he used his improved small-scale time and space distortion technique, it seemed like he was teleporting, and Guan Zhan was about to rush from his side. The move was stopped halfway.

Seeing that Guan Zheng couldn't get out of the formation with these attacks, he couldn't help but get angry. He took a step back, and as if he was fierce, he used his right hand to attack Wanli with more force.

Wan Li immediately became nervous. He just relied on the strong and flexible body formed by regular exercise to keep hiding. He was not hurt for the time being. However, it seemed that without external help, he would still be able to hold on. If you don't move your position, you won't be able to survive two more rounds. As soon as Ruan Zhan tried to save him, Guan Zheng began to attack Xiaoxia.

Guan Zheng's super strength allowed him to attack two parties at the same time, but he restrained three parties at the same time. Just like playing chess, one left hand is watching Xiao Xia, and the right hand is alone against Wan Li. This makes Ruan Zhan hurt the other side no matter where he moves. This makes him like a loser. Although he is powerful, he is of no use!

"Clothes!" Ruan Zhan shouted, pointing the sword in Xiao Xia's direction with his right hand in defense, and raising his left hand in the air to draw a cross.

Wan Li on the other side didn't say anything when he heard the words. He just fell to the ground again under the attack of the fireball. But the moment he fell to the ground, he suddenly threw off the loose T-shirt on his body, leaving his upper body bare and his arms Subconsciously hold it in front of your chest. Immediately afterwards, the fireball and the cross drawn by Ruan Zhanxu turned around in the air at the same time, and here they are!

There was only a 'buzz', a 'pop', a 'ah' and a curse at the same time. In the lightning and flint, I saw that the fireball was pushed two feet away from Wan Li's body, and all the burning flames were outward. Inhalation will not burn Wanli's skin.

"What a good guy! You're so cruel to your love rival, you want my life!" Wan Li hid in a panic, but his face still looked like the sky was falling down and he was being used as a quilt. He rubbed the outside of his hands and arms vigorously, which were red and swollen. It was obvious that he had been hit hard. "You are so damn strong. Fortunately, my bones are strong, otherwise I would have to break them!"

At this time, the fireball seemed to be the focus of the stalemate between the two sides. It stayed in mid-air beside Wan Li, neither moving forward nor retreating, nor falling. But Wan Li's hands were empty, holding nothing, but a huge red talisman painted on his chest. His teeth and claws were open, echoing the cross drawn by Ruan Zhan in the void, sucking in the fireball and the flames on its outside.

"Why would A Zhan let me deal with villains with empty hands?" Wan Li said nonchalantly, "Have you seen this talisman? As long as it echoes his cross character, it can resist your level of magic, and this - ―" He raised his hands, "It can also resist any physical force, so you can't rush out from my side either. Switch sides."

Guan Zheng snorted and said nothing.

He attacked twice, once when he was blocked by Xiao Xia and actually Zanli Banner, and the second time because Wan Li's spell and his own strength failed again. Do he have to go head-to-head with Ruan Zhan?

He glanced at Ruan Zhan and saw that the latter was looking at him indifferently. There was no emotion on his face, neither pride nor panic, neither excitement nor fear. His calmness and calmness made him admire and admire him. Annoyed, her eyes looked as if he was already a fish on the board, and she didn't take him seriously at all.

He felt the insult, his heart changed, his hands increased their magic power, and he walked towards Ruan Zhan step by step. Because his hands were attacking the left and right sides, the door was wide open at this time. Ruan Zhan was in the same situation because he wanted to help Wan Li and Xiaoxia. As Guan Zheng got closer, both of them exposed their weaknesses in front of each other, as if they were going to fight hand-to-hand.

Wan Li and Xiao Xia were under the pressure of Guan Zheng at the same time and had to stick to their positions. They couldn't help at all and could only watch anxiously.

When Ruan Zhan saw Guan Zheng approaching, although he felt the pressure from the other party, he remained calm and stared at him without flinching.

Guan Zheng walked closer and closer. When the two people were less than two meters apart, he suddenly laughed.

He smiled sinisterly and viciously. There was no smile in his eyes, but his face was twisted, especially his wide grin. His mouth was pitch black, and even his teeth were black. At first glance, he thought they were black holes without teeth. Same.

He took another step forward, it was very difficult, as if the pulling force from all sides had reached its extreme, and then he started to retching. After a few times, a small snake spit out from his mouth.

The little snake was also black, only about four inches long. As soon as it came out of Guanzheng's mouth, it rushed towards Ruan Zhan's throat like a dart. Seeing that he had no place to escape, unless he left the position he was guarding.

Ruan Zhan remained motionless, his hands still pointed at the positions of Wan Li and Xiao Xia respectively, refusing to turn back to protect himself, and even closed his eyes the moment the snake bit his throat, looking completely indifferent!

Amid Xiaoxia's exclamation, the little snake stretched straight in the air. Under the illumination of the oil lamp and fire, it stayed in the air like a bright iron rod and made a 'hissing' sound.

From where Xiaoxia was standing, he could only see the process of Guan Zheng using sorcery again, but he could not see whether the snake bit Ruan Zhan. I saw the snake's head and the skin on Ruan Zhan's neck overlapping each other, while Ruan Zhan stood there with his eyes tightly closed. He didn't move, and neither did the snake.

She couldn't move away from her position, and she didn't dare to speak for fear of distracting him. She was extremely anxious, as was Wan Li on the other side.

Her eyes lingered on Ruan Zhan's face and Guan Zheng's back, but she couldn't see anything. After living like this for a while, she couldn't tell how long it was, but it felt like forever, she finally got a clue.

The snake still remained the same, but its tense body softened a little. Ruan Zhan's eyes were still closed, but beads of sweat had leaked out from his forehead, and his brows were frowned, because Guan Zheng had his back to her. , she couldn't see his face, only saw his shoulders shaking slightly, obviously using dark power.

So, these two people are wrestling. Although I don’t know if the little snake bit Ruan Zhan, at least he is okay now! And because they were all distracted, Xiaoxia felt that the pressure on her body had relaxed a little, and the demonic vine that had been pointing at her was a little further away. This gave her room to move, and she should do something to help Ruan Zhan.

But what to do?

She thought anxiously and looked up at Wan Li. Seeing that Wan Li also understood what was going on, a smile appeared on her face.

"Azhan is fine." He suddenly spoke, "Don't worry, the snake's fangs are still 0.01 centimeters away from him. You don't have to be afraid to speak. Only then did I understand that what they were fighting for this time was telepathy, that is, they were using telepathy. They control the snake. At this time, although they can hear it, no one can move. It's a stalemate."

"But-" Xiaoxia was still very anxious.

"I understand, I understand!" Wan Li raised his voice as if he wanted to let the two people hear him, "I also want to help A Zhan, but look, this uncle Guan who has parasites in his belly is using vines to look at you. Use this fireball that can't be burned for a long time to point at me, so that we can't move. And if something happens to us, A Zhan will be distracted to save us, and all three of us will be finished. Uncle Guan's calculation is very good, No losses at all!”

"I have an idea." Xiaoxia understood Wan Li's intention and raised her voice, "I can protect myself, but I don't know if you can?"

"Don't underestimate me, your husband and I are an amazing man!" Wan Li deliberately emphasized the word 'husband'.

Guan Zheng was fighting one against three in the formation they set up. Although he suffered a slight loss at first, he immediately turned the situation around. Wan Li admired this very much. But admiration comes with admiration, and the determination to eliminate Guan Zheng has not changed. The question is how can they help Ruan Zhan now.

Although this square formation is defended by three people, in fact most of the pressure is on Ruan Zhan's shoulders. The reason why he remained silent just now was because he did not see the situation clearly and did not dare to act rashly. Now he understands If the stalemate continues like this, Ruan Zhan will be at a disadvantage, and he must do something while the current situation is equal. After all, there are many of them, and Guan Zheng will always take care of one thing and miss the other.

He basically knew what Xiaoxia was going to do, and he was just talking so loudly to inform Ruan Zhan and to give Guan Zheng a blow to his mentality.

"Azhan, listen carefully." He said steadily, "Now you can safely take back the hand that protects us two and concentrate on dealing with Uncle Guan, because we have already thought of a way to protect ourselves. If you don't listen, , we will do what we want, and then the three parties will suffer. So this time, Xiaoxia and I are forcing you, and you must listen."

He waited for more than ten seconds to let Ruan Zhan digest the news and Guan Zheng's heart fluctuated, and then started counting. This is the tacit understanding between him and Ruan Zhan that they have had since childhood. In the minds of ordinary people, they will count three times and then attack when the third number is pronounced. But they were on full alert from the first blow, and didn't move at all from the third blow. If the opponent moves, they will stop and strike later; if the opponent does not move, they will strike when the opponent hesitates.

"Three!" Wan Li shouted the number.

Ruan Zhan didn't move, but Guan Zheng did. This time he chose to retreat and attack Xiaoxia again. Because he could see Ruan Zhan's unusual concern for Xiao Xia from Ruan Zhan's reaction when he attacked Xiao Xia for the first time. This made him jealous, and also made him understand the weakness of this man whose magic power was temporarily inferior to his, but he could not suppress it no matter what.

He was more powerful than Ruan Zhan, and he took the initiative to retreat during the stalemate and was not harmed. He just ignored the snake and let it fall to the ground.

As soon as the pressure in front of Ruan Zhan relaxed, he immediately withdrew his arm pointing towards Wanli and hurriedly drew symbols in the void to create an invisible barrier in front of him, so that when Guan Zhan came to attack, he would not have to fight with his mind power.

His other hand still took care of Xiaoxia, but this time Guan Zheng attacked Xiaoxia with all his strength, and the speed was too fast. He had no choice but to aim at the demonic vine that was reaching towards Xiaoxia, waved his hand and threw the blood wood sword!
