The majestic flames shone through the entire stone room, and the huge fire curtain turned the place into a blazing furnace, roaring and pressing on the woman in white with the golden light on her back.

There was a ripple in the air in the corner, and the man with Chinese characters stepped out of the [Shadow] with a pale face. He originally wanted to see if there was any chance of sneaking up on the Boss, but in the collision of fire and golden light, he did not intervene at all. Opportunity, and the air here is getting hotter and hotter. He tried to get closer just now, but was almost knocked unconscious by the scorching air waves.

The bespectacled man unfolded the [Barrier] and enveloped the remaining people to prevent the splashed light blades and sparks from accidentally injuring his own people.

"Qiang——" More than a dozen lightsabers merged into one, forming a huge flying sword suspended behind the woman in white.

Gu Lingxin also followed her example and compressed the scattered flames toward the center. The surrounding temperature suddenly increased by another level, and the center of the flame changed from orange-red to slightly yellowish white.

The lightsaber fired and the flames rushed.

"Boom——" The two forces collided.

There was a tremor in the stone room, and a lot of fine gravel fell from the ceiling.

Affected by the aftermath, a crack appeared on the surface of the [Barrier], and heat penetrated through the crack, making everyone breathless.

The flames swallowed up the golden light, and the woman in white was shocked and took half a step back. Her consciousness was even more scattered than before, but she still stood upright and maintained the posture of the seal, which was quite a bit like an immortal. The golden light regrouped and formed a sword formation around her. She no longer spoke a word, her language system seemed to have begun to develop in the direction of the infected, and her eyes were full of instinctive desire to attack.

Her Taoism has become a part of her instinct. Even though she has lost the "human" part of her consciousness, her use of Taoism is still exquisite.

But now these Taoist techniques are used to kill people.

The sword light split the flame from the middle, and the bright flames spread out in all directions. Gorgeous fireworks fell everywhere. The temperature in the stone chamber rose again. The girl standing in the center of the flames, her bright and charming little face tightened, her eyes twinkling. Thick white mist surged in his eyes.

[Awakening Ability: Hypnosis]

After using this ability once, Gu Lingxin made up her mind never to use it again, because [Hypnosis] would corrode the awakened person's own spirit, and Gu Lingxin felt that if she used it too much, she would become an idiot.

But the current situation is special. Although it is just a simple condensation of flames, she has purified and compressed the flames. Almost two-thirds of her power was injected into the attack just now. Now she is feeling tired and will launch such an attack again. An attack is unlikely.

On the other hand, Kun Dao, after an attack was neutralized, he immediately summoned his lightsaber again without any signs of exhaustion.

Among the abilities of the seven players here, only [Fire] is pretty powerful and can face this Kun Dao head-on. Once she is defeated, all seven of them will die.

If it were the last game, it wouldn't matter whether he lived or died, but Gu Yu was here.

If they both died here... Oh no, if Gu Yu died here, my father and stepmother would be so sad.

And Messiah, his family is so rich, he may be the treasure of a big family, and he is also the youngest scholar in the Scholars Association. If something happens to him, it will be an international loss.

After much thought, I decided to try [Hypnosis] again.

Hundreds of years of memories come flooding back.

The woman is extremely talented. She has achieved some success in Taoism when she was young. She has been traveling around and practicing, and she often does good deeds.

But she gradually discovered that she could not really get along with ordinary people because she was profound in Taoism and still looked like a girl when she was nearly forty years old. Many friends who had known her for a long time thought she was a freak when they discovered this.

She had been alone for so many years.

Until he helped a stupid boy from a wealthy family to summon the souls of his soul in this village. The stupid boy who had been stupid for more than 20 years suddenly turned into a gentle and polite young man, and became famous in the village for a while.

So she settled here and told people's fortunes. The wealthy family built a Taoist temple for her and built a statue for her. However, some people may have thought that her reputation and merit were not enough to receive incense, so they quietly destroyed the stone statue. She felt that She didn't care much, and she would try her best to help the villagers when they were in trouble. The villagers called her "Chengyun Immortal", and some even sent their children to be apprentices.

She accepted several apprentices one after another, but not everyone had her talent. The apprentices only learned a little bit, and were regarded as fake Taoist priests when they went out, and none of them became famous.

As the disciples grew old and died one after another, she still looked like a young girl.

The once foolish boy later made a lot of money by studying smart crafts, and married a girl from the city. When they got married, he even came to the Taoist temple to give her wedding candies. However, after discovering that her appearance was still as young as a girl, he didn't like to get along with her. Come and go.

Thinking that he was an orphan who was abandoned in a Taoist temple by an unknown family, Chengyun wanted to divine the origin of this child, but then he thought about it and realized that this child had been abandoned by his parents. Even if he was sent back, the family would not be able to live in the village. I have to accept her face, and I'm afraid it won't be good to her.

When we met, we were destined to meet her, so I thought about becoming her last disciple.

One day when I was with my apprentice, I was making a secret. After my relatives abandoned me, I thought about him day and night. I thought that being loved by others might mean that I would have great blessings in the future, so I thought about naming it.

Later, a strange virus broke out, and people in the village got the news early. Every household closed their doors. Chengyun opened a stone room in the Taoist temple. Some villagers and poultry and livestock became infected, so she secretly took them to the stone room. , to prevent other villagers from being injured.

But the number of infected people was too much. She was accidentally caught by an old woman who became an infected person, and then her power became out of control. Only then did she realize that she might also become like everyone else. Same.

She silently recited the Qingxin Jue, and persisted with her strong willpower. She did not lose control like others. Sometimes she couldn't hold on anymore, so she would eat mutated chicken, duck, cattle and sheep.

Until one day, after meditating all night, I woke up and found that the stone room was full of corpses of infected people.

He ate all the mutated villagers. He only ate the trunks of horned livestock such as cattle and sheep, leaving their heads in place.

Chengyun fully understood that he would not be spared after all.

The memory finally settled on Xiao Daotong's childish face, "Master, what's wrong with you...?"

Her cheeks are plump and round, which shows that Chengyun has taken good care of her.

"Paste these on." Chengyun handed out a stack of Taoist talismans, "In a few days, I'll teach you how to draw the Earth Escape Talisman... okay?"

Those Taoist talismans should be the ones hanging when entering the Taoist temple just now. In other words, that formation should be used by Chengyun to prevent himself from leaving the Taoist temple.

After thinking about it, he said "Oh", took the Taoist Talisman, and whispered: "Didn't you agree to teach me the Thunderbolt Talisman first?"

"You're too stupid. I'll teach you... the Earth Escape Talisman first. You can run away when you encounter danger."

"With Master here, how could I be in danger...ah!!!"

Chengyun's hand reached uncontrollably to Xiang Xiang's shoulder, tore off a piece of dark pink meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Lingxin covered her head, the clear pain stimulating her brain. Damn, you are an NPC, so you don’t need to write your background story so clearly...hundreds of years of memory...it takes up too much memory...

However, Chengyun can compete with the infected person's instinct, so how can he be affected by [Hypnosis]?

The fleeting memory only briefly passed through Gu Lingxin's mind before a golden lightsaber shot towards her eyebrows.

Sure enough, [Hypnosis] could not control Chengyun. I don't know if it was because the level was too high or because she had not completely become an infected person.

Gu Lingxin decisively gave up [hypnosis] and hurriedly dodged the oncoming lightsaber.

She had no strength left.

Gu Lingxin touched the pocket of her windbreaker, which still contained the revolver that Su Heng had given her some time ago.

Try a shot? She remembered that the bullets inside were quite powerful.

"Okay, if I continue to fight, I will be burned to death by you." Messiah spoke at the right time, not knowing whether he saw that she was not strong enough or that the heat was unbearable.

He took off his coat and threw it on the ground. The white suit outlined with gold thread was spotless, incompatible with the dirty blood on the floor. There is a special belt tied around the waist of the well-tailored suit, with a short sword on it.

Gu Lingxin watched Messiah walk up to Chengyun and pull out the dagger. The dagger was made of a translucent golden crystal. The specific material could not be seen. The blade was exposed in the air. , like a light that condenses reality and illusion.

She was wondering whether to shoot. Messiah actually planned to use a weapon that looked like a plastic toy to fight Chengyun, who was about to become an immortal.

Gu Lingxin glanced at Su Heng, and it was written all over her face that this captain seemed unreliable.

Su Heng didn't understand what she meant, so he raised his hand and fanned her: "Is it hot?"

Gu Lingxin: "..."

I saw bright golden light filling Messiah's eyes. He held a sword in one hand and stood upright in front of Chengyun. Under the influence of [Insight], Chengyun regained some consciousness and shouted sharply: "Run... run!"

Gu Lingxin took a deep breath. This old pervert didn't even tell her to run away after beating her like this, but he started to pity her when he got to the Messiah?

"Run?" Messiah raised his eyebrows, "I will kill you here."

"Not only can it not harm other villagers as you wish, but it can also help you get rid of the pain."

Gu Lingxin was stunned for a moment after hearing this. She couldn't believe that this was something someone from the same dimension as her could say. The Mandarin language co-authored by Su Heng is all taught by Messiah.

"I want to..." Chengyun gradually became quiet and opened her mouth to try to say some more words, but her consciousness quickly disappeared again, and the ten-round lightsaber behind her flew towards Messiah like it was out of control.

Messiah's expression remained normal, and he swung his dagger quickly. The translucent golden sword body was very tough. After ten clear collision sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang."

But in fact, his sword swing speed didn't seem that fast. Gu Lingxin activated [Insight] when Messiah blocked the first lightsaber. Observing carefully, when the lightsaber was still floating around Chengyun, Mi Saiyan's sword has already been extended to the position where she is about to attack. Looking at it slowly, it seems as if Chengyun is attacking in the direction where Messiah is blocking.

You old pervert, you'd better not be deliberately flirting with young men...

Chengyun didn't react at all, her emotions had completely faded away. If it were her in the past, she would definitely have a sparring match with this young swordsman.

But now she only attacks indiscriminately.

Messiah got the opportunity, ducked and stabbed Chengyun in the chest. Chengyun gathered a new lightsaber, but he did not rush to attack, but threw out two Taoist talismans.

Messiah instinctively tried to block again, but in the middle of the action, he was forced to stop and avoid it.

"Boom -" the Taoist talisman fell to the ground, exploding a large crater in the ground made of stones. The gravel was scattered and the soil was flying. Messiah took a few steps back in detail to prevent his suit from being splashed. Get on the dirt.

Thunderbolt Talisman... Gu Lingxin looked at the two pits in a daze.

Messiah raised his sword again. In Chengyun's current state, the instinct of the infected was mostly strong. He only wanted to attack and had no intention of defending. The thin and light translucent sword blade seemed to have no lethality, but it was on Chengyun's arm. A longitudinal wound of more than ten centimeters long was left.

It is no exaggeration to say that this short sword can cut iron like clay.

Chengyun felt the pain, and she formed a seal with her hands with a ferocious expression. The lightsaber behind her became more solid, spinning and attacking Messiah from all angles.

Messiah seemed to be swinging his sword lightly, but he blocked every light that attacked him, and even one of the lightsabers was cut in the middle by him.

Only Gu Lingxin, who had just experienced Chengyun's strength, knew how much effort it would take to do this.

——But other people don’t have to feel it. Just witnessing all this is shocking enough.

While calmly blocking the oncoming attacks, Chengyun gradually approached Chengyun. Although Chengyun had just been slashed by Messiah, she did not intend to retreat. In the end, all the lightsabers dispersed, leaving only one falling on her. palm.

This is going to be a sword fight.

Chengyun's sword light slashed down with a golden afterimage. Messiah used his old trick to block with his horizontal sword, but a strong soreness and numbness shook his mouth.

So strong? He frowned. He has loved fencing, archery, horseback riding and other sports since he was a child. After becoming an awakened person, his physical fitness has been greatly enhanced. However, the official has summoned many outstanding awakened people. Their awakening ability can directly become combat power. Messiah Although he entered the Scholars Association, he did not feel that he was weaker than other awakened people in actual combat, so he never slacked off in training his body and spear skills. Even so, his strength was still different from that of the Chengyun Immortal. Small gap.

He immediately drew his sword and dodged, no longer blocking Chengyun's sword, but instead dodging in anticipation.

Every time Chengyun drew his sword, it almost brushed against Messiah's body. The difference was only a few centimeters each time, but he could always avoid it deftly. And she herself was in a half-infected state, only attacking but not defending. Messiah relied on [Insight] to occasionally catch a flaw in her powerful sword moves.

So the scene changed, Messiah was able to dodge the sword force which was very different from his strength, and at the same time he was able to leave a few bloody wounds on Chengyun's body.

Every time the sword is drawn and retracted, it is as elegant and delicate as art.
