The Exorcist

Chapter 35 Spiritual Fight (Part 2)

ah--

A small black shadow pulled away from the top of Zhao Jiayuan's head, and his body immediately collapsed to the ground, as soft as shed snake skin. Xinxin also did not escape, and was caught by Ruan Zhan, both human and soul!

"Let me go!" Xinxin shouted.

"Okay, but I have to teach you a lesson." Ruan Zhan forced himself to harden his heart, bit the middle finger of his right hand, and drew a curved spell on 'Xiao Xia's eyebrows. Hit 'Xiao Xia' in the face.

Along with the crisp sound of a slap, a shadow appeared on Xiaoxia's head, and then her body also fell limp, but Ruan Zhan's eyesight and quick hands caught her in a hug just as she was about to fall to the ground.

Looking at the shadow again, it seemed that it was pushed out by a huge external force. After leaving Xiaoxia's body, a thin line of powder was trailing behind it, like blood flowing out after being injured. She stumbled forward a few meters, until she hit a flower pond and disappeared. And the moment she disappeared, the blood charm between Xiaoxia's eyebrows also disappeared.

"Sure enough, there is something righteous." Ruan Zhan murmured as he watched Xinxin's shadow escape.

Xinxin's shadow is very complete, unlike other souls that have various defects, and the shadow is not black, but as red as a piece of red-hot coal. This proves that she has perfected herself through cultivation, and her resentment is natural. He is the deepest among these resentful spirits, so even if she is hurt by him, she can hide quickly.

And Ruan Zhan didn't let her leave Xiao Xia's body freely, and had to be shaken out by him, just to hurt her. It's not that he is cruel, but that he wants to safely return Xiaoxia's body to the tower and cannot place a time bomb behind him. Without this Xinxin, those resentful spirits are nothing but a piece of loose sand, which is the most beneficial to them.

Without even looking at the remnant souls crawling all over the floor, he bent over and held Xiaoxia tenderly in his arms, and slowly walked towards the tower.

In this way, the first step of his planned action was completed - resolving the black mist formed by resentment, no longer having to fight in a besieged environment, and getting Xiaoxia's body back.

He knelt on one knee, slowly flattened Xiaoxia's body on the ground, and gently stroked her face. Her delicate face was already red and swollen, and a palm mark was clearly placed there, which was the one he made when he shocked Xinxin just now. At that time, he had no choice, but now he was filled with regret.

How long has it been since he last saw her? He couldn't tell clearly. When she was at home, Xiao Xia always looked for opportunities to hang out at his bar, and they would meet up every now and then. Later, she was sent to do legal propaganda work. He was secretly worried that this was Sima Nan's conspiracy, so he followed her secretly so that he could see her often. Later, in this empty city, the feelings he had been trying to hide inevitably burst out, and she was still by his side.

However, his eyes couldn't see at that time, so he didn't see her, right?

Her face was as cold as ice, but still smooth and soft to the touch, which made his hands linger on, repeatedly rubbing her full forehead, thin eyebrows, tightly closed charming eyes, slightly upturned nose, and medium-sized lips. Plump red lips——

His thumb lingered on her lips. It was a kiss he had kissed twice, and each time it left him ecstatic. When did he fall in love with her so much? He once thought that he would never fall in love with anyone, but why did he fall in love without warning?

The red lips were too attractive to him at the moment, inducing him to slowly lean down and kiss her gently, but she was as unresponsive as a stone sculpture, which made him realize that her soul had not yet returned.

He forced himself to stand up and warned himself that now was not the time for love between children. There were still many difficult things waiting for him to do, many unresolved problems, and many battles waiting for him to face.

He adjusted his mind, then reached into his arms to get Xiaoxia's porcelain statue, but when he touched it, he realized that his pocket was empty! Touching the pockets on both sides again, Reporter Ma and Abai are still there! Only the porcelain doll possessed by Xiaoxia is missing!

Ruan Zhan kept his hand pressed on his chest pocket, his face expressionless, as if he was thinking about something. He stood like that for a while, then suddenly stood up, walked to the center of the hall on the first floor, and stood in front of the nine bronze bells, one large, eight small, and a total of nine. He quickly weighed it and selected the small bronze bell closest to the wall. Zhong, opened it with force, then turned back to hug Xiaoxia, quickly and carefully placed her soft body cross-legged, kissed her lightly, and then placed the porcelain statues of Abai and Reporter Ma next to her.

"Abai, please look at her." He said to Abai sincerely.

Originally, for fear of hurting these porcelain statues in the battle, he sealed all their senses and souls, but he understood that Abai was such a famous Yajin in the past. Even if his current skills have declined to almost zero, he is still better than ordinary people. If people have spiritual power, they can definitely protect themselves and Xiaoxia.

Abai's porcelain statue shook a few times.

"I can't remove the seal." Ruan Zhan understood what Abai meant, "The bronze bell here is not an ordinary thing. It has a strong aura and all souls dare not approach it, so staying here can protect you. If the seal is unlocked, you can no longer hide inside."

After he finished speaking, he took another deep look at Xiaoxia, and then covered her with the bronze bell.

After doing all this, he leaned against the wall and adjusted his breathing. This bronze bell was quite heavy. Although he was very strong, he had to handle it carefully so as not to injure Xiaoxia and not let the sound of moving be heard outside. He was still very tired.

However, at this time, Xinxin's sharp cry came from outside the tower, "Those named Ruan, get out of here!"

Ruan Zhan didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and fired three palm thunders in succession.

There were three loud sounds of 'Pap, Pap, Pap', and the three palm thunders merged into one oversized blue spark, which burst directly out of the door! But the strange thing is that this super-large palm thunder did not go in a straight line, but suddenly turned sharply when it left the center of the lake, and flew into the air!

The square outside the tower was already filled with, or rather filled with, grotesque human figures. Except for one that was bright red and had a complete shape, the rest were all burnt black and incomplete. Some had no heads, some had no heads. Some have no hands, some have no legs, some have no entire body at all, or there is a big hole in the middle of the body! From a distance, it looks like a pile of burned out firewood, with only an unextinguished coal at the front.

When the palm thunder was fired, the 'people' in the square were all startled. The fear of such righteous things made them instinctively scream out in surprise, and they instantly hid on the ground and did not dare to come out. Only the red figure standing at the front did not move away and witnessed the palm thunder turning strangely and rushing into the air.

"Sister Xinxin, Ruan's strength is about to run out." A relatively complete human figure with only one hand missing emerged from the ground, approached Hongying and said excitedly, "His electric sparks can't even be fired straight. ." The voice sounded exactly like the resentful spirit that occupied Zhao Jiayuan's body, named Dongzi.

Xinxin did not speak, because he had no face or facial features, and could not clearly see the expression on his face. He just said with some doubts in his tone, "I hope he doesn't have any conspiracy."

Dongzi flinched, obviously quite afraid of Ruan Zhan, "It shouldn't be possible, right? Is he looking for help?"

Xinxin gritted his teeth and said, "Whether he has help or not, the new town is closed anyway, and no one can enter or leave. Now we are fish in a fish tank, either eating him or being eaten by him. If even he is cured No, we don’t have to think about revenge! Are our grievances in vain?"

What she said was very loud, so that every resentful spirit below the ground in the square could hear clearly, and understood that the situation in front of her was the same as what she said, it was either you die or I live, there was no way out at all!

"We must take revenge! For so many years, isn't it just for revenge that we have endured the pain of being suppressed and persisted until now? Why do we have to die in vain while the murderer is at large? Now that our wish is about to be fully realized, how can we do it at this time? Back off! This is unfair, I insist on seeking justice, even if it turns into ashes!" Xinxin continued to say fiercely.

If her words just now made the other resentful spirits understand the situation, her words now inspired their resentment and fierceness, and they once again made up their minds to fight Ruan Zhan to the death! As a result, they all jumped out from under the ground and gathered around Xinxin again.

Xinxin glanced at her companions in the square, then slowly stretched out her hand to grab a hold of the flower pond beside her. Among the flowers, a small porcelain doll immediately flew out and fell into Xinxin's palm. It was Xiaoxia's porcelain statue.

"Ruan, if you don't come out, I will smash this porcelain doll and make your sweetheart die! I will count to three, one, two -"

Before she could say the word "three", the tower door, which had been damaged by the thunder in her palm, fell outward with a crash. Then, Ruan Zhan walked out of the tower.

He walked leisurely, with no expression on his face and no movement on his hands, but his whole person looked as cold and sharp as an ice blade, as if a king with the power of life and death was facing the weak rebels. Same.

"I'm here, what advice can you give me?" He stood by the lake and asked coldly.

Xinxin did not want to be overwhelmed by his momentum and raised the porcelain statue in her hand, "Do you want her life or yours?"

"It's not your decision." Ruan Zhan didn't even think about it. His black eyes as dark as a pool of water stared at Xinxin for a moment, "I said, you can't bear the consequences of hurting her. It seems that you don't believe."

Ha ha ha ha--

Xinxin burst out laughing wildly, and the other resentful spirits also laughed together, "Stop boasting, her soul is in my hands, why do you say that? Do you think the person who helped us wants to live?" Xiaoxia, don’t I dare to kill her? At a time of life and death, who can care about promises, just focus on the present. So, do you think it’s up to me to make the decision? "

Ruan Zhan shook his head, "Being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. This sentence is absolutely correct. If I had just dealt a harsh hand, you would have gone back to hell by now. Do you still have the right to threaten me here? ?" Although his face was still expressionless, there was a trace of anger, a trace of contempt, and a trace of compassion in his tone, "I would like to advise you again - it's time to turn around. If you stop now, I promise to find a way to kill the culprit. The culprit is brought to justice, and you all give yourselves a chance to be reborn. Nothing in this world can be buried underground forever, and the same goes for your injustice, but if you insist on forcing me, I can't just sit back and die."

Xinxin sneered and suddenly dropped the porcelain statue in his hand to the ground. Ruan Zhan involuntarily took a step forward and subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but then he realized that he had been fooled.

"That's right. Your magic power is very high. It's a pity that you have a treasure in my hands. Am I still afraid that I can't beat you?" Xinxin shook the porcelain doll in her hand, "How about this move?"

"Very mean!"

"Am I despicable? What could be more despicable!"

"What do you want? Just tell me!" Ruan Zhan said coldly, looking a little impatient.

Xinxin was very annoyed by Ruan Zhan's tough attitude, but there was nothing she could do about it. This man is too strong, even stronger than the person who helped them. It's not about his speaking power, but his strong and courageous temperament that is tough and cold and can't be overcome by anything. She now understands why that person wanted Ruan Zhan to die. No matter what disputes there are between them, as long as Ruan Zhan is alive, that person will never find peace.

She had always been at a disadvantage and could not turn over at all. Now she decided to go all out and use this magic weapon to its fullest! She wants revenge, and everyone who hurt her and the villagers will die! Besides, she was going crazy with jealousy now. Ruan Zhan and Yue Xiaoxia love each other so much that they would lay down their lives for each other! But as for her, she could also sacrifice for her sweetheart, but her sweetheart really sacrificed her without hesitation.

Why can Yue Xiaoxia, even though she is a woman, get something that she could not get even with all her life? This is also unfair, so she wants Yue Xiaoxia to be unfortunate too!

"Let me ask again, do you want her life or your life?"

"If you have to ask - it's hers!" Ruan Zhan replied immediately, as if it was a matter of course.

This aroused Xinxin's incomparable hatred. She waved her hand, and all the remaining souls behind her came close to her, as if connected by an invisible rope.

"I want you not to move and take my move first." Xinxin said softly, with a threat in her tone, "If you dare to fight back or defend or dodge, I will immediately throw this dead girl and take her to hell with me. If you can resist my move, I will give her back to you."

"Didn't you say that you wouldn't keep your promise in a life-or-death situation?"

"You have no choice." Xinxin said fiercely, "Also, stop threatening us. That is very stupid. For those of us who risk everything, if we die, will we be afraid of dying again?"

"I never threaten anyone, that's the truth, believe it or not!"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you agree?"

"Then hurry up. It's already over." Ruan Zhan put his hands in his trouser pockets, as if he didn't care about the other person at all.

Xinxin was so angry that she didn't know what to say, so she stretched out her hand to grab the ground as fiercely as possible. Immediately, a ball of black energy gathered in her hand and quickly turned into a sharp weapon, which was more than a foot long.

She was still holding Xiaoxia's porcelain statue high in one hand, and holding the sharp sword in the other hand. She raised her head and glanced at Ruan Zhan, and saw that Ruan Zhan was motionless and watching her indifferently.

For a moment, she suddenly felt a little unsure, but she knew she couldn't hesitate at this time, so she made a move of her heart and threw the sharp weapon towards Ruan Zhan like a javelin with all her strength.

The black weapon shot away with a sharp sound of piercing the air. Even the resentful spirit was sweating for Ruan Zhan, but Ruan Zhan really stood peacefully, as if all this had nothing to do with him, which made Xinxin For a moment, I thought Ruan Zhan would have some conspiracy or protection.

However, in the blink of an eye, there was only a "pop" sound, and the sharp weapon penetrated into his right shoulder without any hindrance. Ruan Zhan did not resist at all, and allowed the sharp weapon to pass through his shoulder, and then turned into a black air and wrapped around his shoulder. superior.

The blood instantly dyed half of Ruan Zhan's clothes red. He swayed, his face was white, but he did not move. He just stretched out his left hand to grab his right wrist and took his hand out of his trouser pocket. It was obvious that his entire right arm could not move.

"If there are any other conditions, come up with it together." His tone was still calm.

Xinxin was stunned. She didn't expect that his personality was so strong that he didn't take the loss of an arm seriously at all. The reason why she didn't hit his vitals directly was because she was afraid that although he promised well, he would still defend or fight back when his life was threatened. That's people's survival instinct and selfish instinct, and it's what she needs to be wary of the most.

She was actually afraid because Ruan Zhan had powerful magic power. She was afraid that the natural force of his counterattack would hurt their side, so she hit his right arm. She wanted to test, if he dodged, she could continue to threaten him with the porcelain statue in her hand; if he didn't dodge, she would cripple one of his hands so that he could not draw talismans, and their chances of winning would naturally be much greater. Now seeing that Ruan Zhan really didn't dodge, I felt a little regretful as to why I was so cowardly and didn't kill him directly!

But even so, she still has other ways to kill him!

"You can do it! I obey you!" Xinxin smiled sinisterly, "If I keep my promise to you, I will return this woman's porcelain statue to you!"

Before she finished speaking, she stretched her arms behind her head and threw the porcelain statue in her hand hard. Only this time, she was thrown not in the direction of Ruan Zhan, but in the direction of the lake. After that, she screamed loudly and weirdly.

As she screamed, those resentful spirits gathered around her in a well-trained manner, until they were all crowded together, concentrating all their resentment on her body!

This is her plan! She couldn't defeat Ruan Zhan, even if they all united, even if she had the magic weapon of Xiao Xia's porcelain statue in her hand, so she had to use a trick - first hurt one of his arms, and then throw the porcelain statue into the lake superior. In this way, Ruan Zhan must fly above the lake if he wants to save Xiaoxia's life. At this time, she used their remaining strength to give him a fatal blow!

He was in mid-air, unable to use one hand and trying to catch the porcelain statue of his sweetheart with the other hand. He had no energy left to fight back. Even if this blow did not kill him, or if he chose to save his own life and defended against their attack at the critical moment of life and death, he would definitely fall into the lake. After all, he is a human and cannot fly. It is good that his left hand can protect himself. There is no way he can reach the other side of the lake directly.

He may be able to swim, but he can't hide from the evil spirits in the lake who will devour everything! The person who helped them got it and put it into the lake. Let alone a human being, even the soul would be swallowed up if it fell into the lake!

That's a death trap!

As she thought this, she saw that Ruan Zhan, as expected, flew towards the center of the lake, stretched out his left hand, desperately trying to catch Xiaoxia's porcelain statue in his hand, without caring about the situation on this side of the square or below the lake. The door is wide open!

"Go to hell!" She screamed crazily, turning the powerful force she gathered into a straight stream of black smoke and hitting Ruan Zhan hard on the chest!

With a 'pop' sound, the black smoke hit Ruan Zhan's chest, causing his body to fly far forward in the air, and then fell heavily into the water!

In the air, there was a thin rain of blood; in the water, waves surged; in Ruan Zhan's hand, he held Xiaoxia's porcelain statue tightly!
