Shen Xichen didn't make a move or even moved.
Because he knew that the black shadow was Jin Mu. Although the contact time was not long and Jin Mu rarely used his spiritual energy in front of him, he was no stranger to Jin Mu's spiritual energy.
Ayu, who was in the lapel of Shen Xichen's clothes, didn't feel any sign of fighting outside. He quietly reached out a little to make sure there was no danger, and then naturally fell back into Shen Xichen's hand.
Shen Xi lowered his head and was stunned again.
"Long time no see, Miss Yu, what's wrong with your Taoist Master Shen? He's become stunned just now." Jin Mu squatted on the treetop on the other side, still smiling. But his eyes looked at Shen Xichen.
"Oh, he's always been like this, stupid." Naturally, Ayu would not let go of this rare opportunity to tease.
After hearing this, Shen Xichen was stunned for a moment...
"Priest Jinmu, actually you can call me Ayu..." Ayu was about to fly up and say hello to Jinmu.
The stunned Qing Chen Xichen pressed Ayu under his palm with his backhand, interrupting her words with a bad tone.
"You guys also talked about how the Tong family branch is doing."
Jin Mu felt a spiritual energy hitting his face directly, but he didn't hide.
Although Shen Xichen was asking about the Tong family in his words, he clearly knew in his heart that he was warning Jin Mu. Even if there were evil spirits watching in the dark, don't even think about it.
Jin Mu withdrew his gaze, threw the exorcism bell back to Shen Xichen, and replied: "They are fine, and there is no aura of evil spirits. Now the only target left is Tong Er and Tong San. What about you, do you know where Tong San lives?" Okay, do you need me to go to Tong San's office to check it out?"
Ayu tried her best and couldn't open Shen Xichen's hand, so she simply gave up. If she was suppressed, she would be suppressed. She happened to hear Jin Mu's reply and rushed to speak, making Shen Xichen furious.
"Taoist Master Jin Mu, Miss Tong San has passed away. Now we just need to protect Tong Er."
died? That's interesting.
"Then can I think that this evil ghost is related to Tong San?"
The night is long and quiet as usual.
Jin Mu slowly raised an arm and spread his fingers slightly.
He raised his head and gently closed one eye, focusing his remaining sight on the silver main room through his fingers.
The lips parted slightly, swallowing the smile.
"磞"
A scream tore through the seemingly peaceful atmosphere of the Shi family.
The exorcism bell vibrated crazily, making a terrifying sound that pierced the eardrums.
The entire Shi family's magical weapons lit up at the same time, all of which indicated that the evil ghost was coming.
When Ayu came to her senses, she had already been hidden in the inner pocket of Shen Xichen's outer shirt.
The two figures on the tree flew towards the main house at the moment of sudden change.
Shen Xichen was surprised in his heart. He had obviously covered the Shi family with spiritual power, and the evil ghost would know it as long as he was close to him. But now, the evil ghost had obviously sneaked into the main house and successfully attacked under his nose. The evil ghost's strength successfully made him Shen Xichen was angry, so let him die again tonight.
Bang, bang...
The doors and windows of the main house exploded, and two spiritual energy hit the evil place.
Shen Xichen and Jin Mu turned over and entered the house, taking a clear look at the situation inside the house. They saw that the evil ghost had barely escaped the attack of spiritual energy. A group of souls surrounded by black smoke whose face could not be seen was now wrapped around Tong Er's body. On the ground was already Comatose Shi Maoyuan.
Tong Er stood dumbly on the ground, his eyes filled with fear, his mouth wide open, his pale soul was quickly sucked out and merged into the black smoke, and his whole body shrank rapidly.
Jin Mu wielded the halberd and swung it from bottom to top towards the connection between Heihun and Tong Er. Spiritual energy burst out from the tip of the halberd, the body of the halberd penetrated the soul's body, and the soft chair behind him shattered.
Shen Xichen reached out and wrapped his spiritual power around Tong Er's body, pulling him in his direction.
The two of them exerted force at the same time. Black Soul was hit by the spiritual power, and the force restraining Tong Er was slightly dispersed. Shen Xichen seized the opportunity to pull Tong Er's body, and at the same time snatched back Tong Er's soul that had been sucked away with his other hand. The soul returned to the body, and Tong Er slowly recovered his vitality.
Jin Mu quickly got close to him and waved his halberd to contain the black soul. Shen Xichen sent the bodies of Tong Er and Master Shi to a temporarily safe place outside.
"Chen Xichen, be careful." Ayu, who was hiding in her outer shirt, also used her spiritual power to help Shen Xichen pay attention to danger.
Seeing that his efforts were wasted, Black Soul let out an angry roar, and the black energy around him also rose up, flying around the room at extremely fast speeds.
At Ayu's prompt, Shen Xichen turned over and raised the barrier. The black soul passed by his side, and he pulled out the peach wood sword and joined the battle.
A sword and a halberd shuttled through the small room. It seemed that they did not hit any entities, but the two weapons were attached with spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy could directly hit the soul body.
Faced with the attack of the two men, the black souls suddenly gathered into a ball, exploded the moment before being knocked down by the spiritual energy, and shattered into hundreds of small soul bodies. Although the power of the scattered soul bodies was small, they increased in number and became densely packed. Attack the two.
Shen Xichen resisted with a barrier and slashed with the peach wood sword radiance, but this tiny soul penetrated every hole. Soon, there were many blood stains on the coarse white clothes. Jin Mu was not much better. The long halberd he used It's very difficult to work in this small space.
The wound is not deep and can be ignored, but if it continues like this, the most consumed thing is spiritual power. Black Soul obviously wants to use this trick to fight a continuous war of attrition.
Shen Xichen looked at Jin Mu, and the two looked at each other, as if they understood the look in their eyes at that moment. The barrier between the two was fully opened, and the detailed attacks of the black soul were isolated.
Jin Mu held the handle of the halberd and threw the tip of the halberd to the ground with the same force. The spiritual energy flowed around the handle and seeped into the ground along the tip of the halberd, causing the solid ground to fall apart.
Shen Xichen backhand slashed the palm of his hand with the blade of the sword, knelt on one knee with his palm touching the ground, twisted a long formula in his mouth, and formed a magic circle from the center of his palm.
Two rays of white light spurted out from the tip of the halberd and the formation.
The black souls surrounding the two men shrieked, regrouped and broke through the roof, escaping from the range of the white light.
This move is a commonly used killing array in the monastic world. It consumes a lot of spiritual power. Although the white light does great damage, the range is limited. Generally, before using this move, you often have to cast a spell to trap the evil object. Otherwise, as long as the evil object escapes from this in time, The range would not be fatal. Shen Xichen originally wanted to use this method to deal with Ayu, but this time he used blood as a sacrifice to make the formation more powerful.
Although it consumes a certain amount of spiritual power, it is better to quickly break the current situation than to continue to be consumed.
After the black soul escaped, the two quickly retreated and chased him out of the broken house.
Jin Mu conveniently took a dressing box in the house and attached a spirit to the box. Ghosts are not like monsters that can be killed with sharp objects. They have to be eliminated with spiritual power. But now we not only have to eliminate the ghosts, but also get back the souls of the Tong family first. , and the items with spirits are magic weapons. Only magic weapons can temporarily trap the soul in it, which makes it easier for them to retrieve the soul.
Although Black Soul was knocked down and injured by the white light, he was very capable and still had the strength to fight.
Black Soul did not flee far. He became interested in the powerful spiritual power just now and absorbed it for his own use like the dozen people before.
After the two caught up with the black soul, the black soul seemed to be waiting for them, breathing heavily and looking extremely excited.
With such a weird look, Shen Xichen could certainly think of the Black Soul's thoughts and could avoid his spiritual energy. Now he coveted his spiritual power. He really took Shen Xichen for something, and immediately rushed towards the ghost first.
Without the cramped environment, Shen Xichen swung his sword more vigorously. The black shadows dispersed and gathered in his swordsmanship, always in a defensive posture. Shen Xichen couldn't figure out why the black soul was like this, so he could only speed up the attack in his hand. Sword power.
After Shen Xichen scattered the black soul again, the black soul that was about to reunite was dispersed by a burst of spiritual energy. It was Jin Mu's halberd. At this time, Jin Mu, who was a little further away, was holding a dressing box with one hand and making gestures in front of him with the other hand. He closed his eyes. At this moment, he used his spiritual energy to divide it into two parts. He used his spiritual consciousness to control the halberd while maintaining his body shape and opening the spell. The weapon looks for opportunities to suppress the black soul.
With Jin Mu's assistance, the speed of Black Soul's reunification was significantly slowed down, and he tried his best to dodge.
"Jin Mu!!" Shen Xichen understood that the time had come, and shouted to Jin Mu behind him. The halberd quickly approached the black soul. Jin Mu frowned, and with the halberd as the center, a spherical barrier was derived, surrounding it. Keep the black soul in check and buy time for Shen Xichen.
Shen Xi lowered his head in the air, closed his eyes, covered his left face with a bloody hand, and touched it from the center of his eyebrows to the corner of his mouth. A blood stain spread on his left face. He put his hands together on his chest, and the blood stains on his face slowly showed through. When the light came out and he opened his eyes again, his left eye turned pale gold.
Ayu felt that the aura on Shen Xichen's body had changed. The aura on the left was extremely pure, or it could no longer be regarded as spiritual power.
Shen Xichen raised his left hand and grasped it tightly.
The black soul was sucked towards the dressing box in Jinmu's hand by a huge suction force.
Shen Xichen lowered his left hand, and a drop of blood flowed from his left eye and slipped from the corner of his eye. This move used up all the remaining spiritual power of Shen Xichen, and he could not even maintain his figure in mid-air. Ayu used her spiritual power to hold him up, and he landed in the Shijia courtyard.
Shen Xi was half kneeling on the ground, panting and looking up at Jin Mu. What he saw shocked him. Black Soul had obviously been seriously injured, so why was he behind Jin Mu at this moment.
The dressing box held by Chimu in mid-air had been split in half, and he was vomiting blood. The black soul was behind him in human form. The human-shaped hand penetrated Chimu's chest and was about to absorb his spiritual power. .
The halberd, which had lost control of Jin Mu's spiritual consciousness, also fell to the side of the courtyard.
Shen Xichen reluctantly stood up and wanted to use his spiritual power to save him, but was unable to do so. He was at a loss as to why this was happening. Shen Xichen tasted failure for the first time.
Although the black soul in the air was seriously injured, he was ready for victory, mocking the powerless near-mu in front of him. Suddenly he felt a familiar spiritual force behind him. The Taoist priest on the ground was clearly powerless. Black Soul did not dare to be careless and pulled out his arm. The seemingly powerless Jin Mu in front of him turned around and attacked him the moment he left, attacking from both sides.
The moment he was about to touch Black Soul, Black Soul not only did not hide, he turned around and choked the visitor with black smoke. However, he did not expect that the visitor was not Shen Xichen, but a shadow, a piece of jade attached to the jade pendant. Soul.
Near Mu behind him was also blocked by a column of black smoke. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
The phantom was Ayu. At that time, she didn't dare to think too much. She only knew that if Heihun was not stopped, his next target would be Shen Xichen, so she picked up Shen Xichen's peach wood sword on the ground and imitated his attack. Dark Souls.
Shen Xichen has always been proud of himself. He has never lost. He even dared to say that nothing in this world can scare him. So when he saw that the result of Black Soul was beyond his expectation, he was puzzled but not He was afraid, and when he thought that he might also be sucked out of his spiritual energy by the black soul, he was not afraid at all. He was still thinking of ways not to give up. However, when he saw Ayuti's sword flying towards him, he became afraid. Now , Ayu was captured, but he was unable to save her.
Looking at Ayu in the air, Shen Xichen kept scratching his left palm, which was already bloody and bloody, with gravel, trying to force out his spiritual power to save Ayu, but all that came out was blood staining the ground red. He was confused, thinking about his own Incompetent and hopeless.
In the air, the force holding the jade pendant became stronger and stronger. No matter how hard Ayu tried, she could not break free. The released spiritual power was also sucked away by the black smoke. She was almost suffocating...
"Tong Yang...'er, is it you, Yang'er... stop... stop... cough cough"
When Ayu called out Tong San's name, the black smoke that was holding her paused, and the main body, the black soul, came closer to look at her.
He really reacted to Tong San, she guessed it right.
"Tong Yang'er, if you continue to do this, you will only deepen your sins. As you can see, I am not a human being and have no reason to harm you. But if you continue, Tong Yang'er will never have another life."
Black Soul suddenly began to tremble at Ayu's shout.
"Tong Yang'er!!"
Seeing that this method was effective, Ayu called out to the black soul, but she had no confidence because she didn't know what to do next.
Perhaps due to the blessing of fate, the black soul trembled and ran around amid the sounds of Tong Yang'er, and finally dissipated in the air.
When she saw the black shadow dissipate, the lonely courage in Ayu's heart also dissipated. For the first time, she faced an opponent that even Shen Xichen had not defeated. She was scared to death, but if things went backwards, she would She thought it would still be the case, because she couldn't help but watch Shen Xichen die.
When Ayu returned to Shen Xichen from mid-air, she felt that he had been staring at her. It was obvious that she was just a figure and had not yet transformed into the details of her facial features, but Ayu felt as if he could see through her eyes and penetrate her heart. .
Ayu retracted the jade pendant again and fell into Shen Xichen's hand. His blood rubbed on the jade pendant. Ayu was startled and just about to float away again, but he held it hard.
Feeling the familiar atmosphere, Ayu finally calmed down and said to Shen Xi solemnly: "My performance just now was particularly brave, wasn't it...Oh, forget it, I can't pretend anymore, actually. , Shen Xichen, I was almost scared to death just now, the evil energy of the black soul seemed to suck out all my spiritual power and happiness..."
"sorry."
Shen Xichen's sudden apology disrupted Ayu's thoughts. This was the first time he spoke like this.
"Ah? Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?" Ayu felt that this was all an illusion, and he would probably start to break his mouth again in the next sentence.
"It's because I didn't think carefully. The Dark Soul thing made me very angry, so I didn't leave any room for the last blow. It's because I was too confident. If I could be calmer, you wouldn't have to take risks and almost lose your life. , this is not something you should face. I can’t imagine that if something happens to you... I don’t know what I should do..."
The more Shen Xichen spoke, the more frightened he became, and his whole voice was trembling.
It was also the first time that Ayu saw him like this, no longer the aloof and proud man of heaven.
Shen Xichen felt empty in his heart, and kept thinking about the scene that just happened. The black soul pinched not only Ayu, but also his heart. This was when he felt warmth coming from his palm, and the wound in his palm was also Heal slowly.
"Have you been taken over by a dark soul? Quickly give up your original self-confidence and return it! Come back! Come!"
"You are such an adult. You don't know how to recover when you are injured. You are bleeding so much and I haven't even been crushed yet. You are going to die."
"Oh, you just underestimated me. There is no such thing as a chance. You know, I can now confirm that the black soul is the third girl of the Tong family, Tong Yang'er!"
"We need to recover our spiritual power quickly now. Although the black soul has escaped, things are getting more and more complicated."
"Okay, the bleeding has stopped. Now, are you feeling better?"
