The Exorcist

Duan Jin screamed and finally reacted.

But she didn't care. Facing the soul-binding flag that had absolute power over the soul, she was not immediately sucked in. Instead, under the illumination of the light talisman, it floated in the air like a red kite, resisting, Struggling and refusing to be taken back.

She thought Ruan Zhan was still the young boy with some special powers many years ago, but she didn't expect that in just ten years, he would become so powerful, which was beyond her expectation, and she immediately felt a little panicked.

"If you tie me into the banner, your formation will be broken!" she screamed.

"That's my business!" Ruan Zhan still had a tough attitude, enduring the pain in his body and adding a little more strength to the flag.

He didn't want to do this. After all, Duan Jin was the one he asked for help, and at the moment when he used the Broken Flag, he didn't know whether he could control Duan Jin with his current abilities. Moreover, subduing her would mean breaking the formation, so his carefully planned round-up operation would fail and even cost more. However, the sound of water rushing in his ears sounded like a reminder, and Duan Jin was determined not to. He was willing to help, forcing him to do this.

This time, Duan Jin almost screamed, and her whole body was stretched into a long piece, like a twisted rag, but she was still stubborn and refused to admit defeat, barely holding on.

Behind him, the sound of water indicated that Guan Zheng was about to reach the shore!

"You promised to cooperate with all parties to trap that bastard in the formation." Ruan Zhan said loudly, his heart was so anxious that he was on fire, but his voice remained calm as usual, "If the gate of life is broken, you will die in this formation. You What is this perfidious guy doing here?"

"I didn't! I'm not! I'm holding the line and I'm not leaving! Ah -" Duan Jin screamed again and was almost pulled out of the western position she was guarding.

"Strong words!" Ruan Zhan said, risking vomiting blood as he continued to increase his strength. "You have cultivated these ten years in vain. If you let him go, you will harm more people. Your sins are serious. Even if you cultivate for another hundred years, you will not be able to escape." I don’t know, don’t think about praying for those who died in vain, and don’t try to gather souls for your son!”

What he said was too harsh, and it hit Duan Jin's sore spot!

She has been practicing hard in order to atone for her sins and reunite her child's scattered spiritual energy, even if it is only a half-wisp of shapeless soul. For this reason, she has been practicing hard for thousands of years, but now she has blocked the only way to escape because of a little obsession with hatred? As soon as she hesitated in her heart, her strength relaxed, and she could no longer hold her position due west. She was sucked to a place only a few meters away from the broken flag. The red corner of the gorgeous shroud had already touched the metal flag. .

At the same time, the air within the square array began to flow abnormally in the opposite direction, causing the black mist to roll up laterally. This means that due to Duan Jin's departure, the four-square formation is about to be broken.

Ruan Zhan gritted his teeth and persisted.

At this moment, he is not only fighting for strength, but also for psychology. He clearly heard the sound of water behind him stop, and knew that Guan Zheng was judging and considering whether not to attack Wan Li and Xiao Xia due to the east, but to conserve his strength and wait for the shaky formation to collapse before leaving boldly. And Duan Jin is hesitating and struggling, swinging between obedience and resistance, revenge and relief.

This is like two high-speed cars approaching on a narrow road. Neither side is willing to give way. It depends on who does not flinch in the face of a lose-lose situation and dares to maintain this speed and head on fiercely. Hit it!

A few seconds, but it feels like hours! Finally, at the moment of collision, Ruan Zhan won!

The moment Duan Jin was about to be sucked into the Broken Flag, he formed a seal and used the power of the Yang Eye. I saw a very thin but very bright light suddenly penetrated the thick and indestructible darkness, pointing straight to the sky, as sharp and ruthless as a dagger, cutting out the black fog with a very long, A very deep wound!

Seeing this scene, Ruan Zhan did not hesitate anymore and took back the broken flag with a wave of his hand. At the same time, he quickly threw a light talisman onto the light pillar pointing straight into the sky. As soon as the light talisman, which could only illuminate a small area, hit the solstice ray emitted by the Yang Eye, it immediately emitted an unknown number of times the light, spreading outward in a fan shape along the light column, making the entire square array as bright as day in the blink of an eye. Same! As soon as Duan Jin got rid of the restraint of the broken banner, he immediately returned to the position he was guarding. The square formation returned to its original shape on the edge of being broken.

Ruan Zhan looked due east and saw that Guan Zheng had stepped onto the other side of the pool, raising a black wooden stick towards Xiao Xia, who had not yet adapted to the sudden light. He immediately drew a talisman in the void and pointed at Guan Zheng's feet with all his strength. As a blue electric spark exploded on the ground under Guan Zheng's feet, before his blow landed on Xiao Xia's head, his whole body was bounced up, and he fell into the water again with a scream!

All this was done in the blink of an eye. Just half a second later, the situation would have been completely opposite. It was really a critical moment. Although Guan Zheng's first wave of attacks was temporarily blocked, it was extremely thrilling and shocked Ruan Zhan. Covered in cold sweat.

"Thank you." He said sincerely to Duan Jin.

Duan Jin snorted coldly. The mask on his face was still there, covering his face and expression that was temporarily missing one eye.

"What are you doing? Beat the drowned dog with a stick!" Wan Li said loudly at the side.

Guan Zheng got up from the water, angry and resentful. Why is he obviously stronger than Ruan Zhan, why is he always able to seize the opportunity, but is always reversed at the last moment? What's the problem? Where does the problem occur?

He was holding a black wooden stick and stood motionless in the water, fully alert, fearing that if he moved, he would be attacked. He had never practiced martial arts, and those two vines in his sleeves could have allowed him to walk as fast as he could, but he didn't expect that Ruan Zhan would cut off his treasure in the Octagon tonight, forcing him to fail. body.

This formation is a defensive formation and cannot be attacked jointly. He didn't feel anything special when he was in the Octagon, but now when he was in the center of the formation, he realized that the formation was not just trapping him to death. Because the longer he stayed in the formation, the more clearly he felt the heat all over his body. However, the heat did not radiate to the top of his head, but to the soles of his feet, and then went straight to the ground and disappeared without a trace. It made people feel that the strength of the whole body was gradually increasing like this. Drain cleanly.

The formation in the Octagon is a fake formation, just to consume his strength and destroy his treasure, but this formation activated by a formal spell is truly powerful! Ruan Zhan basically adopts the strategy of ‘divide and eat’, which he only understands now!

Although the west and north sides of the opponent's defense formation cannot see the sun, and it seems that the formation time cannot be too long, he understands that he will not be able to withstand the sunrise, even if he will not be sucked by the formation energy by then. If a person works hard, he will do his best to the point where he will be slaughtered by others.

The reason why Ruan Zhan didn't take action first was just to wait for him to attack first, then strike later and wait for him to work! After all, only he and the female ghost Duan Jin in this formation have the strength to attack him, the other two parties are just defensive decorations!

In this case, he must find a way to get out of trouble as soon as possible, because every minute of delay makes his strength weaker. In terms of intelligence and toughness, he knew that he was no match for Ruan Zhan. He relied on his strength. When his strength weakened, he would be defeated miserably!

Thinking of this, he was heartbroken and used his last move. He pulled open the skirt of his clothes with his left hand, used a black wooden stick with his right hand to make a diagonal cross on his chest, and howled loudly.

The front end of the black wooden stick looked blunt, but with one stroke, Guan Zheng's chest was immediately torn open and blood burst out, as if he was almost disemboweled. Even the pool of water around him was quickly dyed red. .

And he screamed so horribly that at first listen, you would think it was the crazy cry of a wild beast trapped in a trap in the dense forest. And with this scream, his eyes began to change, from normal human eyes to A pair of eyes glowing white, like two silver balls.

Ruan Zhan immediately remembered what the village chief had said about when Guan Zheng killed more than twenty villagers in one night, and understood that he was about to fight a trapped beast. Although he did not make detailed preparations in advance this time, the power cannot be underestimated when he has already made a desperate move.

Guan Zheng carefully took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his clothes, rubbed it on his bloody chest, then cast a spell and threw it out. It was just a flimsy piece of paper, but when he threw it, it flew across most of the pool like an arrow. The moment it landed, it turned into a black shadow and rushed out quickly!

Black cat!

The black cat that had appeared many times before, the black cat that Abaya also mentioned, was actually replaced by a paper-cut cat by Guan Zheng! What kind of witchcraft is he practicing? It’s almost equal to witchcraft!

But I saw the black cat running directly towards A Wu as fast as the wind. But when A Wu put up a stance to repel it, he dexterously twisted around and rushed towards Duan Jin. When he was almost to her side, he also He left and came to Ruan Zhan.

As he got closer, Ruan Zhan could see clearly that the black cat was not running around. It was dragging a thin line behind it. Because it was transparent, it was extremely difficult for people to detect it. This thin line is weak but never broken, with a very light red color, and it is dragged from the pool to here, as if it is pulling a fence with it. Upon closer inspection, it turns out to be water vapor in the pool mixed with the blood of Guan Zheng!

The black cat flashed past like lightning and ran towards Wanli again. It circled the square array with the faint smoke, and finally handed the 'thread' back to Guan Zheng in the hands!

Guan Zheng held one end of the hookah, moved his lips, and at the same time retracted the invisible rope. Ruan Zhan felt a blur in his heart and involuntarily raised his feet, but before he took this step, he suddenly thought: He immediately took back his steps.

No, Guan was using the paper black cat and the hookah mixed with his own blood to hypnotize the people guarding the formation!

His hypnosis was so weird and advanced that he could influence people far away from him with sufficient preparation, and they would jump into the cliff at extremely fast speeds and unknowingly follow his command. Today, He was in a hurry and couldn't make those complicated preparations, but he used his own blood as a lure, and Ruan Zhan almost took the bait.

Looking in other directions, every defender has been hit by Guan Zheng's moves. Awu's feet moved forward desperately, but his hands hugged a small tree beside him, as if a person was split into two, one wanted to leave, but the other wanted to stay; Duan Jin is a soul body, and has many Although the strong spiritual power was not affected immediately, he moved hesitantly in position, obviously not sure whether to go or stay; Wanli was the most affected, his expression was completely dull, and he moved forward step by step, with one foot already moving forward. He fell into the water, while Xiaoxia was pulling him desperately behind him!

Perhaps because of the hasty move, or perhaps because Guan Zheng's skills were damaged, only one person in each direction of the square array was affected, and there were two people in the east, so Xiaoxia was spared.

Although she didn't have Ruan Zhan's insight, she understood what was going on, so she tried desperately to wake Wan Li up, but Wan Li's physical strength was far greater than hers. Not only was she unable to stop him, but she was dragged into the pool!

In desperation, she couldn't care less about anything and bit Wan Li's exposed arm hard enough to make Wan Li's arm bleed.

Wan Li felt a sharp pain in his arm in a daze, and the stimulation of his body directly activated his consciousness. With an instinctive flick, he pushed Xiaoxia down to the edge of the pool. When she woke up, she saw Xiaoxia getting up from the ground. Her whole head was wet and she couldn't stop coughing. She obviously lay face down in the water and drank the water.

"Did I do it?" He hurriedly supported her.

Xiaoxia couldn't speak at all, her face was as white as snow, she grabbed Wanli's arm tightly, and looked at Ruan Zhan.

Wan Li also looked over and said loudly, "It's safe here, you can worry about other things!"

Ruan Zhan saw that they were okay from a distance, and felt relieved. As soon as he stretched out his hand, a thunderbolt hit his palm. As the blue electric sparks hit the feet of A Wu and Duan Jin, the two parties suddenly woke up.

"What other tricks do you have?" he said proudly.

Guan Zheng said nothing and only made a gesture to the black cat. The black cat received the instruction, stood up and started running again with the hookah. This time, its speed was incredibly fast. Before I could even see its black figure clearly, it had already moved to the next direction.

"Let's see how many palm thunders you can hit!" Guan Zheng sneered.

He knew that hypnosis could not break this formation, because Ruan Zhan would definitely find a way to alert their people. However, there was a lot of water vapor in the pool, and it didn't matter if he controlled the black cat to run all night with his ability. However, Ruan Zhan's constant hitting of palm thunder would consume a lot of his own strength. He just saw that Ruan Zhan's physical strength was about to reach its limit. , so that’s why. Didn't Ruan Zhan want to consume his strength? He wants to repay him with his own way!

Unexpectedly, Ruan Zhan did not do what he expected. Although the thunder in his palm struck a few times, it did not hit Awu and Duan Jin who were hypnotized again, but targeted the black cat. After all, Guan Zheng has to rely on the black cat to implement his hypnosis. It is better to remove the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron than to treat the headache and the foot!

Seeing this, Guan Zheng quickly held one end of the waterline with one hand and controlled the black cat with the other. The black cat was already nimble, but under his control it became even more slippery as a loach. Several times he was about to hit him, but was twisted away by it.

After a few rounds, Ruan Zhan felt a little tired. His physical strength was already at its limit, and he was injured. Now he was only supported by his tenacious will, and it was good to have intervals between attacks. This continuous casting of spells left him breathless.

"You idiot! You don't know how to burn it with a charm. That would save a lot of effort!" Wan Li's voice came from the side, "This dead cat is just a piece of paper!"

It turned out that Xiaoxia bit him too hard, and the stinging, painful, and hot feeling kept him awake and he didn't get hit a second time.

Because Ruan Zhan was determined to eliminate Guan Zheng, he did not figure out the key to it for a while. After Wan Li reminded him, his mind immediately changed and he immediately sacrificed a fire charm!
