The old man was very strong, and he was not inferior in one-on-one combat. Ye Qin was not incapable of close combat, but she had no choice but to retreat when faced with the old man's fierce punches. Unlike Yao Ge, whom Lu Ning had dealt with at the Zaoyuanzhuang mortuary before, this old man did not just rely on the efficacy of certain spells to attack randomly. Every step he took seemed to affect a certain momentum in the entire room, and every punch he threw would Let everyone's pressure increase even more.
Lu Ning, Mr. Yan and Yan Zidan were so oppressed that they had to retreat outside the room and could only watch the battle inside from the door. Both Ye Qin and Xu Tong are more proficient in this kind of high-end combat than her. In fact, Lu Ning can almost make a judgment from this point - Ye Qin can be said to have learned since childhood, but if Xu Tong is just an ordinary How can a student be able to deal with a master like the old man after a few days of danger? She can't even get up there herself, right?
Three superimposed rests stopped the old man, but were smashed by a punch. In an instant, the old man came to Ye Qin with a grab cloth, and greeted him with an uppercut in the face. Ye Qin raised her arm, and a dark shield collided with the old man's fist. With a bang, she was knocked away and hit a shattered cabinet. At the same time, she opened her hand and released a circle of musical notation surrounded by notes.
"Arpeggio!"
The sound condensed into a physical blade and struck out from the ring-shaped musical notes. The old man waved his fist to fend off the sound blade, but Xu Tong arrived behind the old man at the right time and punched him right below the neck, which was also the most difficult position. That part of defense.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, the old man inadvertently moved three meters to the right, immediately out of the attack range of the two men. The sound blade stabbed Xu Tong and collided with her fist, causing her to take several steps back.
"Aren't you familiar with the cooperation? It's really ridiculous. Such a person dares to challenge my authority, so whatever, I'll send you on your way."
The old man finally said a long sentence. At the same time, his muscles began to bulge, his eyes became sharper, and his fists clenched. Ye Qin and Xu Tong felt a great pressure at the same time. Just now, the old man was just testing the two of them, but now it was a killer move?
"Ornament..." Ye Qin quickly raised her hand to cast the next spell, but the old man had already arrived in front of her in an instant.
"False spells don't work!"
The old man's punch easily shattered the spell that Ye Qin had just constructed, and hit her on the chin. The punch seemed to have been smashed into the soft mud, and Ye Qin's head shattered with a loud sound. Explosion.
boom!
Immediately afterwards, even Ye Qin's body began to explode. The old man flashed and rushed towards Xu Tong again.
"How--" Xu Tong didn't expect Ye Qin to be killed instantly, and she also showed some flaws. The old man's fist also hit her face. She hurriedly raised her hands to try to parry the old man's attack, but it was of no use- So far, there is no defense that the old man cannot break through.
But the moment the punch landed, a clear sound was released from her arm. The musical notes spread from her gauntlet, and the sound blade stabbed out again. This time, at the moment when the old man attacked at the extreme distance, he There was really no time to avoid it.
Even though the sound blade was smashed by the fist, several blood marks exploded on the old man's hand, and Xu Tong finally found a chance to dodge the attack. The old man held his bleeding fist with an angry look on his face.
"Ah, he is indeed an arrogant old man."
Next to Ye Qin's shattered and slowly dissolving body, a pair of black short boots stepped out. Then, the body began to appear on it, and Ye Qin in a gray and black cloak appeared next to it.
"Well?"
"Physical cultivation, I haven't seen you for a long time, Taoist priests. However, you believe in physical cultivation, but you don't study the development of Taoism at all. Even if you are very strong, you will slowly be eliminated by the times." Ye Qin flicked his cloak and smiled. out of hands. She wears a black shield on her left hand, and holds a short saw blade in her right hand. The side of the blade has black and white decorations like piano keys.
"Huh?" The old man had to step away a little and carefully observed the current Ye Qin.
"I really underestimated you, old guy." Ye Qin seemed to be quite annoyed at being smashed just now, "It's the second stage, let's do it again!"
"Pearl of rice!" the old man sneered and clenched his fist again, "I just changed my clothes, but I will still beat you to pieces!"
"So you guys who are stuck in your own ways of practicing physical education are really short-sighted!"
Ye Qin waved the saw blade and walked up to the old man. Around her, violent notes gradually began to appear.
The old man immediately dodged and used that move again to get in front of Ye Qin, but this time Ye Qin was already ready, turning the saw blade and piercing the ground.
"Pelancholic melody!"
A clear black and white formation is displayed on the ground. The traditional Taoist formation incorporates a unique personal style, and a small formation is constructed in the form of a staff in the form of a staff. , the old man's fist paused momentarily, and for the first time, his attack was intercepted.
The gray light swept away, and the saw blade and fist clashed in the air, making a sound of gold and iron. The old man took a step back, and Ye Qin's hand began to flash with black and white flashes.
"I can't beat you, and you can't take me down." Ye Qin sneered, "But I am enough to hold you back, do you still have time to take care of other things?"
"Little girl, you haven't noticed my speed... yet!"
The old man roared and appeared behind Xu Tong in an instant. She was startled and raised her hand to block it. She only heard a loud click. The gauntlet on one hand was smashed by the old man's punch, and the arm was also broken into pieces. At an abnormal angle, she let out a scream. The old man dodged again, returned to Ye Qin, and said with a ferocious smile: "No one can break through my defense. This is the reason why I am stationed here -"
Bang.
"Don't talk too much." Lu Ning said at the door, "Ye Qin is right. You may not understand all kinds of magical Taoism at all. You stay here just because you are a strong enough guard."
The old man slowly turned his head and looked at the basin in the corner.
"Ah, as a guardian, you should be guarding that place without leaving. With your ability, if you don't leave there even one step, no one will have the ability to do anything there. In terms of speed, no one can take a step beyond the limit. . But the pride in your heart still allows you to use your hands and feet to deal with us, because you feel that you can rush back at any time when something unusual happens, right?" Lu Ning said.
Yan Zidan held a long sword in his hand and penetrated the basin from top to bottom. The water inside also flowed out along the hole, and soon formed a puddle on the floor.
"Ah, it's true." Ye Qin said sarcastically, "You even ignored the 'weak' who were oppressed by your momentum, right?"
"You..." the old man glanced around with an angry face, "No one can leave alive today!"
"This is what we want to say!" Ye Qin waved the saw blade, and the musical notes hovered around, "The water mirror has been broken, you can't stop us anymore!"
"Don't think too highly of yourself, you stinky girl!" the old man yelled, but he had already flashed in front of Yan Zidan in front of the basin, and punched his face with an angry fist. The first target was obviously Yan Zidan, the ruined one. The person he protects his target.
However, as soon as the two parties came into contact, they disappeared together.
Although the old man was strong, he was still made of flesh and blood, so Yan Zidan became the person who restrained him the most at this moment. If the old man mastered some Taoism or evil magic, she might not be able to deal with it, but a complete physical cultivation is an existence that is precisely restrained by the world of death.
As for Yan Zidan, she is the only person here who can freely come and go between the worlds of life and death.
About three minutes later, Yan Zidan appeared again in the center of the room. She was dressed roughly and had some scars on her body, but she had a happy smile on her face, as if she had finally made a big contribution to the team.
"You're too tired, please take a rest." Ye Qin said stiffly and comfortingly.
"He... is still alive, but he may not be far from death. I don't know if he can escape from the realm of death, but he is already weak." Yan Zidan smiled, "We are safe, and Tongfang Town has also been lifted from the water. The threat of the mirror.”
The light outside the window symbolizes the town being restored to a normal world. The water mirror was shattered, but everything that was twisted was still covered in Tongfang Town, but at least the sun was here.
"This is the first time I feel so comfortable in the sun." Xu Tong used sheets and broken boards to fix her broken arm. It was impossible to recover from this injury for a while. Even if she didn't completely lose her fighting ability, she probably wouldn't be able to recover in the future. Involved.
"Xu Tong, you are no longer able to participate in the confrontation with Baligong." Lu Ning said.
"...I know, but I don't want it to be useless at all."
"Well, so I have another request. Maybe you can help me...solve it." Lu Ning chose her words, "The risk is at least lower than here."
"Speak." Xu Tong tore off the cloth. Originally, he should go to the hospital for proper treatment, but is there really a functioning hospital in Tongfang Town now?
"When we came here, we found a block where a 'vigil' was going on. Before this, there was no news about any relevant information in Tongfang Town, and as a modern heavy industry town, it is impossible to have that kind of information here. Tradition. In any case, the vigil is a very dangerous event, but it may not require much fighting, but requires using your brain... Can you handle it? "
"Don't underestimate me." Xu Tong covered his arms and twitched the corners of his mouth twice, as if he wanted to smile, but he was still in too much pain to smile.
"As for Bali Gong, we will deal with it ourselves. Mr. Yan, I think you can also go back to your home. If we can solve the problem here, maybe you will have a chance to recover your daughter's body."
"I... understand... I can't help you with anything..." Mr. Yan said dejectedly, "This is the last thing I want to do. When everything is over, I will surrender... Sigh..."
"Li Wenyue, Yan Zidan, you two..."
"Ye Qin, we must go there. One guard can make you suffer a little loss, but I don't think you can take down those gangsters from Bali Gong alone." Lu Ning smiled, "And the murderer is still waiting for an opportunity. Move? You are in double danger. I even think you broke in without thinking."
"You are right. I did underestimate the crisis here before." Ye Qin did not deny it, "Then, I hope we can get to the end together."
The group left the hotel and went their separate ways. Xu Tong rushed to the old city, Mr. Yan returned to Qixing Apartment, and Lu Ning and the other two were preparing to go to the real Baligong according to the guidance of fate.
It was neither the office building converted from the previous warehouse nor this hotel. In other words, Baligong itself is just a shell. This mysterious organization is located in the center of Tongfang Town, where it has the longest history.
Although it was daytime, the fog still did not dissipate normally. The thin fog made the surroundings look a bit dark, but the sunlight was still able to shine through. There were pedestrians in twos and threes on the road, but everyone looked dull and moved stiffly, as if they were walking corpses, but they did not show a strong desire to attack.
The three ate some portable food and then started heading to the center of town. Lu Ning called Zhang Xinqing on the way and made sure that the water mirror over there had been lifted. Xin Mi and others had already met up with Shi Danong and Qi Xugang in two groups. However, no one was working in the office building and it was still empty. They had already He left the building and returned to the street. Zhang Xinqing left early because she couldn't get along with the Taoist priest.
"Okay, the location we found is in the center of the town. Everything about them is entangled there. I think..."
"I have ki magic, don't worry I can't find it. Li Wenyue, don't die." Zhang Xinqing said happily and hung up the phone.
This guy... Lu Ning smiled helplessly. If she were a tourist, she would be happy to become friends with him.
Unfortunately, it won't go that smoothly.
The moment she stepped into the streets of the Central District, Lu Ning felt that she had passed through a certain "door". Then, the disgusting feeling coming from all around made her feel extremely repelled. Ye Qin immediately raised his hand, and a dark shield opened up a screen, covering the three people inside. Yan Zidan said directly: "Be careful, this is... the breath of the dead."
"Interception."
A man appeared on the other side of the street, wearing a crisp suit, holding a rubber stick in one hand, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looking at the three people with cold eyes. Surrounding him were a group of armed men wrapped in black protective clothing and holding two sickles.
"Yang Xiao." Ye Qin said the other party's name calmly, "I have been missing since I left the Yixin Sect. Is it just a monster that came here to seek refuge?"
"Outsiders cannot know the affairs of the sect, and your skills are not as good as the new disciples of the sect. So, you are the one above?" Yang Xiao raised his hand and pushed up his glasses, "But... if you don't count Individuals dispatching at the same time do not have the prestige to crush everything."
"So confident." Ye Qin raised the corners of her lips, "This is your project, right?"
"A time of crisis is also the time to prove who is worthy of supporting projects. If I solve you, I will have an extra bargaining chip in my hand." Yang Xiao started to take steps forward.
