The Exorcist

Chapter 46 The unexpected person appears

Seeing that Ruan Zhan was about to attack again, Sima Nan raised his hand and held up the cloth man and the mirror in front of him, forcing Ruan Zhan to retract the hand pointed at him.

"Everyone has weaknesses." He said proudly. He crawled for a while, but did not get up. He could only sit on the ground and panted. "You said that I worry too much and therefore lose. What about you? Don't you have worries? You do. , Emotions are your bond, you take people too seriously!" He waved the two things in his hand, "You didn't even know what they were, you thought it would hurt others, so you stopped attacking and let me Get buffer time. What if I cheated you with something useless? You just let the opportunity to kill me slip away? "

"I don't want to kill you, you keep forcing me and hurting others!" Ruan Zhan glanced at the things in Sima Nan's hands.

I saw that the small mirror was an unbreakable bronze mirror, the size of a palm, with simple patterns carved on the frame. It looked very ordinary, but what was strange was that there were ripples of water on the mirror, as if there was a pool of water in the mirror that could not flow out. Same.

As for the little cloth man, his workmanship was rough and his face and limbs were unclear, but there was a shocking shining steel needle running across his neck. It looked particularly dazzling. For some reason, Ruan Zhan suddenly felt that it must be Wanli!

"But you were very wise this time, and you were right not to take action." Sima Nan said in a thoughtful tone, "This bronze mirror is the foundation of my nightmare technique. If you break it, everyone in the old town will die in their dreams." inside; and this little puppet was made from your good friend’s clothes, with a piece of his hair sewn inside, and his birthday and birth date written on the back in my blood. Guess what? As soon as I pull it out With this needle, he will rot into a puddle of mud like a fish with a sting!"

"What do you want?" Ruan Zhan tried to remain calm, his expression unchanged, but his eyes still looked at the little puppet involuntarily, appearing to be quite concerned.

Sima Nan snorted lightly and held the little puppet tightly in his palm.

"I know this is more important to you, so I will watch it very seriously. You will never have a chance to take it away from me. I advise you not to think about it." Sima Nan returned to the game, and his expression returned to a superior one. appearance.

"I'm asking, what do you want?" Ruan Zhan said, "Don't worry about mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

"It's very simple." Sima Nan stood up holding on to the wall, trying to make himself less embarrassed, "Follow me out of the tower and do whatever I want!"

"What if?"

"Or I'll kill the whole town!"

"That has nothing to do with me."

"Does this have nothing to do with you?" Sima Nan raised the puppet again.

Ruan Zhan took a step forward, and Sima Nan immediately reached for the steel needle on the puppet's neck, "Stop moving forward, you are risking your best friend's life!"

"How do I know it's him?" Ruan Zhan stopped, thinking desperately about countermeasures, but found that he couldn't think of any good ideas at all.

"So - you want to take a gamble?" Sima Nan grinned maliciously and stretched out his hand to pull out the steel needle.

"Stop!" Ruan Zhan shouted urgently, his expressionless face showing tension for the first time, and he took a step back.

He can't gamble because he can't afford to lose. The fate of his life and death may be in the hands of others, and he has to choose to retreat. He had thought before that Sima Nan would threaten him with hostages, but he never thought that he would take the whole town. Moreover, he originally thought that Wan Li had escaped Sima Nan's threat. When he saw Sima Nan entering the town alone and Wan Li gave him a signal, he became more convinced of this, and then he let go of his hands and feet to fight with Sima Nan. Yong, I didn’t expect such a difficult situation to arise at this most critical moment.

Could it be that all his plans and previous efforts to save his life were in vain? But he couldn't resist, otherwise Wan Li's life might be in danger!

"I knew you didn't dare to gamble." Sima Nan's hand was still on the neck of the little puppet. Seeing that Ruan Zhan didn't move anymore, he sneered, "I can tell you responsibly that you made a wise choice. .”

This is how fighting is, especially in evenly matched battles. It depends on who can seize the opponent's weakness. It's like the push hand of Tai Chi. As soon as the opponent is weak, he will immediately seize the opportunity to attack. Ruan Zhan's shortcoming is that he is too affectionate. He may seem cold on the surface, but once he has feelings for someone, he will cherish them more than his own life. He has been using this method to restrain Ruan Zhan, and it has always worked.

He raised his chin to Ruan Zhan, signaling for him to get out of the tower, but Ruan Zhan suddenly frowned, "This is not witchcraft, it's the flying attack!" He didn't want to give up the last bit of hope, so although it seemed that Lai was very helpless, but he kept secretly observing the steel needle on the puppet. After careful observation, he found that the steel needle was trembling slightly, and there was a very unusual spell painted on the doll, which he still had a vague impression of. When Sima Nan urged him to leave, he finally remembered what was deep in his memory. .

This is a rare technique, similar to the flying sword technique used by monks to kill people thousands of miles away. His father once told him. The old man said: There are good and bad Taoisms. The people who created these bad Taoisms may not have had the intention. But after they are mastered, these Taoisms will be used for other purposes by people with ill intentions, and the consequences will be endless.

"Do you have any opinions?" Sima Nan asked, a little surprised that Ruan Zhan knew this technique. But after thinking about it, I realized that Ruan Zhan's father must have told him this. Given the special relationship between them, it can be explained completely.

"I'm not surprised that you use forbidden techniques." Ruan Zhan glanced at Sima Nan with contempt, "I'm surprised that you don't use it."

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of the tower now!"

"But it is said that this technique is flawed and requires someone to cooperate. If there is no accomplice beside the person who is being used, and you use your blood to paint a certain part of the opponent's body, your flying attack will not work. ! Pulling out the steel needle will not directly kill the person represented by the puppet, but the steel needle will fly away quickly the moment it is pulled out and attack the heart of the designated person, which will kill the person, right?"

"Yes, you are a good student, and your father should be proud of you. But -" Sima Nan smiled proudly, "Didn't you notice that Hong Haohao is not here?"

Ruan Zhan was speechless, and the hope that had just risen was shattered in his heart. The biggest mistake he made was that he never took Hong Haohao to heart. Since he had help, Sima Nan certainly had it too. Hong Haohao may be just a beautiful vase, but he can also be another murderer!

Before Sima Nan could say any more nonsense, he turned around and walked out of the tower. Compared with Wan Li's life, there was no need to hesitate or weigh. He just couldn't worry about Xiao Xia. He understood that Sima Nan would never kill him, and would not let go of his soul. In that case, he would never see Xiao Xia again, and the thought of this made him extremely sad.

No longer seeing her, no longer hearing her, no longer feeling her, no longer being able to remember her, this made him feel as sharp as a cone of pain!

No, we must find a way! He couldn't just give up and admit defeat! His father once told him: Losing is not terrible, what is terrible is that you are unwilling to look for opportunities in desperate situations!

"Stop!" Sima Nan said from behind Ruan Zhan.

At this time they were standing by the gate of the tower.

"What are your orders?" Ruan Zhan said coldly.

Looking at Ruan Zhan's face, Sima Nan was very angry. He expected to see Ruan Zhan's frustration, his frustration and annoyance, his fear, not his indifferent expression. After all, Ruan Zhan almost defeated him. From going through countless hardships, to almost achieving a complete victory, and then to a complete defeat, it was not a blow that an ordinary person could bear, but Ruan Zhan was so calm that he had no chance of victory. Feel!

As soon as he came out of the tower, he felt the rapid recovery of his spiritual energy. This was his advantage, so he waved his hand and hit it with a fire hand seal.

Ruan Zhan felt the burning sensation behind him, instinctively dodged it, and used a spell to draw the fire to the side. But after all, his magic power is not as good as Sima Nan's. Although he has greatly damaged Sima Nan's magic power with his wisdom and courage, he is still at a disadvantage. So although the fire handprint pushed him away, he was also swept away by the remaining tail, and he hit the pillar of the pergola with a bang, breaking the wooden pillar as thick as his wrist, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing Ruan Zhan like this, Sima Nan felt happy in his heart. This is the person he has always wanted to get rid of, and the person he has always been worried about. He even felt nervous for a time and did not believe in his own strength. Now it feels really good to see the thorn in his eye and flesh struggling to hold on!

"I'm not happy for anyone but myself!" He laughed, and struck out with a palm thunder, imitating the way Ruan Zhan used to deal with him, hitting him with one palm after another.

He did not stop Ruan Zhan from resisting. He was not interested in prey waiting to be killed. Only the dying struggle made him feel happy!

As for Ruan Zhan, he no longer had the slightest ability to attack with spells. He was just stubborn and refused to bow his head and persistently looked for opportunities. He felt that his strength was getting weaker and weaker. Sima Nan's heavy blow penetrated his protection and hit him. Finally, he couldn't stand anymore and knelt on one knee on the ground, supporting the ground with his hands.

His back was burning with pain. He knew he had been burned, but he was already jealous at the moment. So he gritted his teeth and rolled to the side. He picked up the remains of a burnt piece of wood on the corridor in the middle of the lake and threw his hand towards Sima Nan. Throw it in the direction.

His spiritual power was about to run out, and his body was seriously injured, but his body's strength was still there, so with his vigorous throw, the charred wood sticks shot straight towards Sima Nan with the sound of wind.

Sima Nan didn't expect that Ruan Zhan could fight back in this situation. When he saw a black thing flying over like an arrow, he hurriedly jumped to the side. Although he narrowly escaped, he almost fell into the lake. Extremely embarrassed, Ruan Zhan took this opportunity to jump up and ran to the pergola.

He understood that Sima Nan wanted to see him fight like a trapped beast, but he was also wasting Sima Nan's strength. It was difficult to escape in an open space. If Sima Nan killed him all at once, he would have no time to reverse the situation.

Sima Nan is also very proud. He must hope to kill his opponent with his own hands instead of relying on hostages. But when he is unable to attack for a long time, he will threaten Wanli's life and the life of the entire town. At that time, he will see if there is a chance to use his last move. If it succeeds, everything will be fine. If not, he will at least save his soul, so that he can still protect the one he loves!

That last move was not in his plan, because it was too forced for him, and he didn't even know if he could use it!

"You are looking for death!" Sima Nan was unexpectedly attacked and was extremely angry. He lost interest in watching the monkey show.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and drew a circle at random, and a deep circular mark immediately appeared on the ground surrounding him. He sat inside, gesticulating with both hands at the same time, forming strange handprints, and then raised his eyes to look at Ruan Zhan, who was on full alert.

"Because of the relationship between you and me, I am still hesitating whether to leave a way to survive, but you are seeking death on your own!"

"No need for false mercy. One of us will be unable to leave this city. You and I both understand!" Ruan Zhan stretched out his hand and pointed at Sima Nan, "If you have anything, just use it. If I want to be afraid of you, I, Ruan, will do it." Write!"

"Hard talk won't solve the problem!" Sima Nan snorted coldly, then pointed the complex handprint at Ruan Zhan's chest and waved it out!

There was no red light, no blue sparks, just an invisible whirlwind blowing from all directions. Before Ruan Zhan could figure out how to deal with it, he felt countless hands in the wind crawling up his body, pulling here and there, making his suddenly tense muscles feel extremely itchy, and all his strength suddenly disappeared!

The wind blew, and there were many more invisible hands on his body. They overlapped and trapped his body in just a few seconds. He understood that this was caused by Sima Nan's Taoist skills, but the invisible, soft attack left him at a loss what to do! He is not afraid of hard attacks! The bloody nature in his bones allows him to face multiple blows, but the current situation where he is unable to use his strength is really like the helplessness he had towards the snow girl back then!

He tried his best to mentally struggle, but it felt like his body was sinking into quicksand. The harder he tried, the more he sank!

"Idiot!" Sima Nan on the side saw that Ruan Zhan was only guarding against his powerful attack and did not expect that he would use a soft knife. Come on, you don’t understand!”

Ruan Zhan wanted to say something, but suddenly he felt dizzy and felt his legs lifted off the ground by those invisible hands!

"Would you rather be torn into pieces or chunks?" Sima Nan continued to say contemptuously, "For the sake of our deep connection, I'll let you choose!"

"You make the choice!"

Seeing that Ruan Zhan still had a calm expression at this time, Sima Nan couldn't bear to take action, but his hesitation was only for a moment, and then he put his hands together and started rubbing them as if he were crushing something.

Immediately, Ruan Zhan felt various forces pulling in different directions. His whole body was cut by invisible hands as if he was thrown into an ice crusher, which made him groan. But he didn't want to sit back and die, so he still struggled, but he couldn't raise his strength at all, and he only allowed the pain to intensify.

Despite this, Ruan Zhan still did not give up, trying to prolong the time for Sima Nan to kill him and consume Sima Nan's power to the maximum extent. Because he knew very well that if Sima Nan used this technique to deal with himself, the losses would be considerable.

He must endure the heartbreaking pain. Every second he gains, the chance of saving his soul increases!

Cold sweat broke out from every pore on his body. Ruan Zhan endured the pain without screaming. When he was lifted into the air, he turned his head to Sima Nan who was sitting at the door of the tower, trying to judge the situation. However, at this time , but he saw an unimaginable scene——

Among the small bronze bells on the first floor of the tower, the one closest to the door suddenly moved, and then slowly rose up, revealing a pair of feet under the bell!

Sima Nan was sitting with his back to the tower door, and he was concentrating on casting spells, so he neither saw nor heard any movement in the tower, but Ruan Zhan saw it clearly!

There is a person under the bronze bell!
