Bai raised her head and looked at Lu Chen, her expression slightly dazed, and then she said with a gentle smile, "It's Xiao Shen. She's grown so big. Do you still remember Xiao Ya? This girl really likes you."
"People cannot be resurrected after death. Even if everyone in Daoxiang Village loses their lives, they can't bring Xiaoya back." Lu Chen felt a great threat from the phantom.
Bai's eyes turned cold and his expression became indifferent, "Whether Xiaoya can come back or not is not your decision, and you alone can't stop me."
The shadow above her looked down at Lu Chen and let out a weird laugh. Lu Chen felt like his head had been hit hard and an awl was drilling straight into the back of his head.
Lu Chen's eyes were red, his muscles all over his body were tense, and his energy and blood were like turbulent waves. He shouted loudly to dispel the strange feeling, "I know that you and Lu Changhe both love your daughter deeply, but she is already dead!"
"Lu Changhe loves Xiaoya?" Bai Shi seemed to have heard a big joke, and her voice became sharp, "The old man believed in the rumors and thought that he could have a son by sacrificing his daughter. Do you think he loves Xiaoya?!"
She seemed to be greatly stimulated, her eyes moved violently, and her expression was sometimes distorted and sometimes crazy, "I just want all of you to die, all of you!"
Could it be that Lu Changhe killed his daughter, which directly caused Bai to go crazy? Lu Chen's eyes narrowed, and the reason for the whole incident was basically clear.
"I know you want to save people, but I won't let you succeed. If you save one, I will kill one." Bai's hair was disheveled and veins popped out on his forehead, "Kill until my daughter comes back to life!"
She suddenly waved her sleeves, and the scene in mid-air changed. A figure actually appeared. They were hung upside down in the air by slippery tentacles, and blood dripped from their eyebrows.
A rough count showed that there were at least thirty people hanging in the air. Their hands dropped weakly, making miserable sounds of pain. The more they struggled, the tighter the tentacles shrank.
Click, click, click... Accompanied by the ear-piercing sound of bone cracking, one of them's body was directly twisted, his head was weak and fell upside down, and his painful eyes looked at Lu Chen.
"Uncle Da Zhuang, Xiao Chen..."
Lu Chen took a deep breath. These were the people he had rescued before. He wanted to gather them together to resist the strangeness, but he didn't expect that they all fell into Bai's vicious hands.
However, he didn't find Ning Xiaochan, and just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Bai opened the coffin, and it was Ning Xiaochan inside!
"Xiaoya, please wait patiently." Bai touched Ning Xiaochan's face, her eyes full of love, the palm of the shadow above her head pointed at the coffin, and a stream of crimson sand spread from her palm.
The flowing fine sand suddenly spread and instantly fell on Ning Xiaochan, entering her body through her eyes, ears, mouth and nose. Her body was suspended from the coffin and floating in the void.
And with the injection of the strange fine sand, Ning Xiaochan suddenly opened her eyes and made a painful sound. The villagers hanging upside down in mid-air died quickly.
"You fucking stop!" Lu Chen strode forward, and his energy and blood suddenly burst out. However, the next moment, the surrounding scene changed, and he returned home.
"Is this...an illusion?" Lu Chen looked at the old beams and looked around, looking for a way to break the situation. However, the next second, his eyes were in a trance, "It's getting dark, hurry up and cook."
boom! He punched the table and felt filled with anger, but he didn't know where the anger came from. His eyes were a little dazed, and he walked to the kitchen to light a fire to cook.
As he started his daily routine of making fire, washing vegetables, and cooking, the energy and blood in his body became silent, the dark lines on his body faded, and he returned to his thin state again.
After dinner, he was surprised why it was so quiet tonight. Unknowingly, it was foggy in the village. At this time, there was a knock on the door in the courtyard.
"Xiao Shen, Xiao Shen, open the door quickly, I'm cousin Ah Wei!"
The banging on the door was violent and heavy, and the deep voice muffled something. Lu Chen hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, "Cousin, why did you come back from hunting in the mountains?"
"I gained a lot today. I brought a pheasant to give to you and Uncle Lu." There was a reply from outside the door.
Lu Chen was about to open the courtyard door, but his movement of reaching out suddenly stopped. He didn't know why, but he always felt empty in his heart.
He thought for a while, instinctively returned to the room, stuck the sharp hatchet in his back, and then walked out with peace of mind.
Reaching out to unlock the door bolt, Lu Chen looked outside the door...
…
Daoxiang Village, open space in the center.
The place where Lu Chen originally stood was wrapped in a large amount of blood-colored sand, forming a huge ball of sand. The shadow in mid-air apparently used most of its power to make him fall into the illusion.
"Xiao Shen, after entering this illusion, no matter how strong your martial arts is, you can only wait for death." Bai looked at the bloody sand ball, showing strong confidence.
She turned to look at Ning Xiaochan above the coffin, becoming a little anxious and puzzled. She saw the latter's red lips slightly parted and he was reciting something in a low voice.
As Ning Xiaochan chanted in a low voice, the influx of blood and sand accelerated much faster. As a result, the plan to invade her body and resurrect Xiaoya would undoubtedly be much slower.
This is intolerable to a mother.
"Shut up, shut up!" The blood vessels on Bai's neck bulged, and her eyes seemed to be biting. However, no matter how she shouted, Ning Xiaochan always remained calm.
Seeing that the obstruction was useless, Bai's eyes were extremely fierce. She took out the scissors from her sleeves and said, "When I tear your mouth to pieces, I'll see how you continue to read."
She is not afraid of minor damage to this body. As long as she prays to the gods afterwards, it is not difficult to repair this damage.
The sharp scissors reflected the red light. She climbed onto the coffin and held Ning Xiaochan down. Just as she was about to take action, a sound broke through the air nearby, and the dark scabbard knocked the coffin sideways.
Bai was unsteady on his feet and fell from the coffin, looking at the visitor with a look of hatred on his face.
The person who came was wearing a black red fish suit. He retracted his left hand to throw away the scabbard, pointing the black iron straight sword diagonally at the ground. It was Chen Jinnan, the captain of the Zhigui Division.
Behind him stood Feng Xi. The latter had recovered and could barely stand, but he did not have enough fighting power and could only assist at the side.
"Captain, Captain, you are finally here." Xiao Chen, who was hanging upside down, woke up from his coma and gasped when he was squeezed by the entangled tentacles.
Chen Jinnan flew up, the blade of the sword transformed into light and shadow, cut off the tentacles and saved Xiao Chen, "Cooperate with Feng Xi to save people and block the source of her power."
He was rich in experience and could understand what was going on just by looking at the scene. After saving Xiao Chen, he went straight to the Bai family. The black knife burst out with a dazzling cold light and went straight to the latter's neck.
The distorted shadow in mid-air was able to appear because of the Bai family as a link, and Ning Xiaochan, who was the center of the ritual, was obviously regarded as the evil god's container.
Judging from the current situation, Ning Xiaochan should have used some secret method to resist the invasion of blood sand and delay the arrival of the evil god.
This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for him. As long as he can kill Bai quickly, he may be able to solve this dilemma.
Sneak... The sharp black knife cut through the cold wind and was about to fall on Bai's neck. He heard a series of hissing sounds and black tentacles were approaching Chen Jinnan.
The first tentacle wrapped around the black knife, and the remaining three attacked Chen Jinnan's eyes and throat respectively. The handle of his knife shook, crushing the tentacles wrapped around the knife.
He immediately drew his knife and returned to defense. The blade of the knife resisted three tentacles one after another, making a clanging sound of gold and stone. He stepped back one after another, leaving deep footprints on the ground.
Only three tentacles knocked him back to the original position. Peiran's strength made the black knife tremble violently, and waves of numbness and severe pain came from the tiger's mouth.
Chen Jinnan's eyes changed, and with a flick of his wrist, he forced the black knife to steady, "The target's strength is the sixth level of blood accumulation. Feng Xi and Xiao Chen will assist me remotely."
Xiao Chen and Feng Xi's expressions changed after hearing Chen Jinnan's assessment of Bai's strength. They were actually at the sixth level of blood accumulation, while their captain was at the third level of blood accumulation!
"Damn it, how could he be so strong?" Feng Xi cursed, so angry that he vomited blood, "It's obviously just a low-level mystery, involving not only evil gods, but also the sixth level of blood-containing mystery."
Xiao Chen slit his palm and drew runes in the void with blood, "Stop talking nonsense. The more people sacrifice, the more powerful she will be."
As soon as the runes took shape, they turned into golden fireballs. Xiao Chen waved his palm, and several fist-sized fireballs flew up, hitting the black tentacles that were close to Chen Jinnan.
But the fireball exploded instantly, only blocking the tentacles for a moment and not even being able to crush them.
This made Xiao Chen's expression even more ugly, "The difference in strength is too big, and our role is very weak. We can only see if the captain can kill her."
Even he himself felt that there was no hope when he said this.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... Tentacles were coming towards him one after another. Chen Jinnan drew his sword and slashed forward, cutting off the leading tentacle, and quickly blocked the tentacles attacking from all sides with his sword.
With a screeching sound, his shoulder was hit by a tentacle, and it was instantly twisted and deformed, with bone spurs protruding from the blurred flesh and blood.
His tiger's mouth was cracked by the huge force, and the blood ignited into flames along the blade. It could block the tentacles from all sides, but it was absolutely impossible to go further.
"The difference in strength is too big. Her strength is still improving..." Chen Jinnan sighed, and was repelled by the tentacle again, with blood all over his body.
The scarlet shadow in mid-air looked down indifferently, as if looking at a tiny insect.
Behind the defensive network formed by many tentacles, Ning Xiaochan's chanting became weaker and weaker, almost inaudible, and the blood and sand poured into her eyes, ears, mouth and nose faster.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Bai knelt down excitedly, "Xiaoya, Xiaoya, please come back quickly. Mom misses you so much."
When Chen Jinnan saw Ning Xiaochan's performance, his heart was on fire. He quickly raised his sword and stepped forward. The blazing sword light surged again, instantly defeating a large number of tentacles.
But at this moment, a tentacle shot out of nothingness, hit his chest accurately, and dragged him into the air and hung him upside down.
"Captain!" Xiao Chen's face was filled with anxiety. Even the captain had been poisoned and he was probably going to be doomed.
…
Daoxiang Village, on the road to Shen's home.
Lu Chen clenched the hatchet behind his back and looked out the empty door. Feeling indescribably strange, he closed the door and turned around to return to the courtyard.
A monster with its human skin suddenly appeared, its shameless face looking at Lu Chen.
Tsk... Almost as a reflex, the hatchet in his hand fell down instantly and struck the bloody corpse hard on the head. Blood splashed all over Lu Chen's face.
