Xu Huaigu watched helplessly as Ying Ya drew a raging black mist with a snap of his fingers and rushed towards the Taoist priest. Immediately afterwards, a woman in blue clothes and a green sword slashed down in the sky with a sharp sword. The sword light blocked the path of the black mist.
Originally, the two spell trajectories would cancel each other out, but the black mist flashed for no reason and jumped over the sword light, heading straight towards the three people below.
Xu Huaigu's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Li Zi, be careful!"
Li Zi didn't see the black mist coming, but she knew that everything was useless and they had no chance of survival.
She turned her head to Xu Huaigu, her back facing the black mist that was rushing towards her.
Black fog was about to hit, and a strong wind blew quickly. All the taller trees in the woods were broken, and the sound of "crackling" was heard endlessly.
Li Zi's eyes were full of despair, and she looked at Xu Huaigu unwillingly. The sky and stars behind her were about to close like a curtain, revealing the life that was about to end.
The wind is blowing and the dust is flying.
As the wind falls, so does the dust.
Li Zi suddenly smiled sweetly at him for no reason.
In an instant, it was like peach blossoms blooming all over the mountains and plains, like the spring breeze turning the snow into melted water, and like the moonlight shining like a wash everywhere.
There are peach blossoms blooming ten miles away in the spring breeze, rock lotuses blooming in the mountains, and plum blossoms blooming in the corners in the cold winter.
The charm of this smile swayed through the ten-mile dense reed pond, through the small wood pulp that gently rippled on the lake, and then swayed into someone's heart.
It is truly the most beautiful scene in the world.
Seeing this bright smiling face, Xu Huaigu suddenly seemed to have lost the fear of death, and smiled foolishly. He didn't know what this smile before death looked like in Li Zi's eyes.
Xu Huaigu clenched the sword in his hand, closed his eyes, and waited peacefully for the moment that was just around the corner. What he thought of was still that smile, and there was no room for anything else.
He suddenly became a little greedy for life.
If you have enough time, you should be able to take another look at her, right?
He opened his eyes, his eyes turned from despair to shock, and he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Li Zi's face was peaceful, facing him, with his eyes closed, as if he was calmly waiting for the moment when the black mist came.
But she was not harmed in any way. Instead, her body rose slowly, her hair danced wildly in the wind, and her clothes fluttered and made a sound.
A small golden scale gradually stood out between her eyebrows, becoming more and more obvious. Then his body suddenly shook, his head raised, golden light emitted, forming a powerful aura.
Xu Huaigu stared blankly as the black mist collided with the aura three feet behind her, and began to dissipate crazily. It could no longer move forward, as weak as a ball of water vapor hitting a wall.
The black mist finally ended, and gradually dispersed after a bombardment. Li Zi returned to normal and fell to the ground suddenly.
Xu Huaigu hurried over and gently helped her up, with tears on his face. Then he brushed the messy hair from her cheek and asked with concern: "Li Zi, are you okay?"
Li Zi coughed for a while, weakly pointed to the blood on his knee after falling from a high place, and said with a trembling voice: "It hurts... it hurts..."
Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a skin injury, nothing serious.
He hurriedly asked her: "What happened to that little scale just between your eyebrows? It was the one that resisted this black mist!"
Li Zi's body shook suddenly and he looked at Xu Huaigu in disbelief. He frowned as if he was nervous. His forehead was dripping with sweat. He hesitated and said: "It's... it's a personal treasure given to me by Master..."
Seeing her look like this, Xu Huaigu knew that she was lying and didn't want to embarrass her. Moreover, this was not the time to delve into it.
He looked around. Under the night, the stars were dim, and he could clearly see that the surrounding area had been made into a deep pit by the black mist. Only the tower near where they were standing had not suffered any damage, and the rest of the place had been damaged. Turned into dust.
Xu Huaigu couldn't help but lament that one person could move mountains and seas with just one blow, and take away lives and deaths. Although this black mist is evil, this kind of power is still fascinating.
He quickly looked at the battle situation in the sky. A black mist rolled and hurriedly fled into the sky, leaving endless black smoke disturbing his vision. There are still three people and a sword flying in the air on the right side, and the outcome has been decided.
The three of them looked to this side and were surprised to find that the Taoist priest was immune to the blow and that there were two children standing next to him.
The three swords slowly flew over, and Xu Huaigu saw clearly that there was an unconscious woman in blue on the sword. She was the one who had failed to intercept the black mist with the green light sword energy.
Liang Chen, Murong Di and Luo Yiran all flew over, landed next to the Taoist priest, and looked at the unharmed three people carefully, with eyes that seemed to see through the deepest secrets in your heart.
A trace of reluctance flashed in Murong Di's eyes, just for a fleeting moment, but it did not escape the eyes of the two sect masters next to him.
Luo sighed angrily, ready to intercept Murong Di at any time.
Everyone on Dongfuyaozhou Mountain knew that although the Zixia Sect and Sun Xiang belonged to the same Taoist school, they had a deep hatred for Sun Xiang. This involved a secret history on the mountain between him and the Zixia Sect in their early years.
Anyway, the leader of the Zixia Sect and Sun Xiang are at odds with each other, so this time they failed to break through through seclusion. Instead, they sent Murong Di to come. I don't know if they are really in seclusion or have other motives.
But since Luo Yuran and Liang Chen are here, they will not allow Zhengdao to start civil strife before the demon clan invades, which will be of no benefit to anyone.
Murong Di also knew that there was absolutely no way he could kill Sun Xiang at this time, so he simply turned his hatred towards the two children standing next to Sun Xiang.
She narrowed her narrow eyes, glanced at Xu Huaigu and Li Zi, and said coldly: "How did you block Ying Ya's black mist just now?"
Li Zi became even more nervous and lowered her head, not daring to look directly at her. When Murong Di saw the little girl's appearance, his doubts became more serious.
She suddenly frowned and shouted angrily: "Are you guys in the same group with the demon clan? Is that why he let you go?"
Luo Yuran and Liang Chen had a headache. Murong Di clearly knew that this was impossible, but he still wanted to say it, just to embarrass these two children. He really did not have the demeanor of a dignified elder.
Xu Huaigu also knew that Li Zi's secret must not be known to others, so he held the sword in his hand even harder. He mustered up the courage to look directly at her, straightened his chest, and defended loudly: "Absolutely not! It was his golden thread that blocked it." , has nothing to do with us!”
Murong Di looked at the boy in front of him who suddenly hardened up. He was exuding power and force, forcing him to take several steps back. He deliberately made things difficult: "I don't believe it unless you let me search his veins."
Luo Yuran felt that she had lost her integrity by going against the child, so he advised her: "Elder Murong, why are you so angry with the child? It doesn't look good on your face."
Murong Di's momentum was not weak at all, and he retorted: "I am very grateful that Elder Deng of your noble sect can come to help today, but this matter is related to the layout of the demon clan in the Central Region. I have to be more cautious. Please bear with me."
What, does it involve the Demon Sect’s layout? This is really nonsense. He is obviously having trouble with the children around Sun Xiang, and he came up with such a high-sounding reason.
Luo Yuran, always outspoken, immediately said: "Only women and villains are difficult to raise. The ancients would never deceive me."
Before he finished speaking, thunderclouds rolled in the sky. Murong Di looked angry and said, "Sect Master Luo, are you trying to compete?"
Luo Yuran just couldn't control his mouth, and he immediately offended people with his words. He immediately lost his momentum and said haha: "You also know that I have this temper. I am very rough and always talk nonsense. Elder Murong also said Please don’t blame me.”
Saying this made him even more determined in his mind.
Murong Di gave him a fierce look, then looked at Xu Huaigu and the two of them, and said: "Since you two are innocent, you can find out by checking your veins for me."
Xu Huaigu looked at her angrily, feeling flustered and worried. He didn't know if Li Zi's golden scales could hide it from the prying eyes of the woman in front of him. If not, he might be in big trouble.
Murong Di felt unhappy when she saw Xu Huaigu looking at her angrily. Normally, even the two major sect masters around her would have some respect for her, but there was no trace of resentment towards her in this young man.
Murong Di stared back with a cold face and said: "What kind of attitude do you have, show some respect!"
I don't know whether it was because newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, or because he was too angry to restrain himself. Xu Huaigu's expression not only did not soften, but became even colder. He still looked directly at her and said, "I can't trust you, and you are not allowed to test her veins."
Murong Di was furious, could she kill him?
sure. But the consequences are very serious. Not only is it difficult to explain to the Taoist priests, but it will also seriously damage one's own reputation.
The great elder of the Zixia Sect killed a nine-year-old child with no spiritual practice for the sake of a quarrel. What's going on? He must not be criticized to death by the people of the world.
This is a weakness of the Zhengdao Sect, which attaches great importance to reputation. If it were the Demon Sect, they wouldn't have so many concerns and would just kill them. Anyway, people in the world have long regarded them as murderous demons.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, and a nine-year-old child actually confronted Murong Di. No one could do anything about it.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Liang Chen hurriedly stopped in front of Xu Huaigu, acted as a peacemaker, and said: "Elder Murong also considers the overall situation of the Central Region. This is right. It is reasonable to test her veins. If you are innocent, naturally I won’t frame you. Since you don’t want to, how about I feel your veins?”
Xu Huaigu glanced at Murong Di, who had a murderous look in his eyes, and then at Liang Chen. He gave in and said, "Okay, but let me come first."
Liang Chen looked at Murong Di, who also nodded, and he started to operate.
Liang Chen walked behind Xu Huaigu, put his index and middle fingers together, and pressed on the center of the back of his neck. Xu Huaigu instantly felt a green aura emanating from his fingers and entering the back of his neck.
The green spiritual energy was as ethereal as mist, gradually converging into a beam of green light, and then dispersed, starting to spread out from the back of the neck, entering different veins one by one, and flowing rapidly along the veins.
He suddenly felt a coldness in his body, which quickly spread all over his body along the veins. He immediately became more vigilant and gritted his teeth, a little afraid that Liang Chen would be harmful to him.
But as the green spiritual energy spread, nothing else happened. The green spiritual energy spread to every corner of his body, leaving no secrets to hide.
After reaching this step, Liang Chen let go of his hand, the cold touch dissipated, his body returned to warmth, and Xu Huaigu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Chen looked at him and kindly reminded him: "Don't casually check the muscles and veins for others in the future. As long as others have evil intentions or the skills to control the aura are not good enough, causing damage to the muscles and veins, then they need to practice It’s so damaged that it’s difficult to repair.”
Seeing that Liang Chen was kind-hearted, Xu Huaigu smiled and nodded, and then Liang Chen walked towards Li Zi.
Li Zi's face was also a little panicked. Xu Huaigu knew that the most critical part was coming, and his heart was in his throat again.
Xu Huaigu was not sure whether Li Zi's secret would be exposed under the investigation. After all, he had experienced the power of probing the veins lightly.
Liang Chen put his hand on the back of Li Zi's neck, and within a moment, his face became shocked.
Li Zi seemed to feel something, and his body trembled suddenly.
Xu Huaigu's heart was pounding and he looked over nervously, waiting for Liang Chen to speak...
