Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 344 Rescue Shi Xiaohan

Gu Xu and Zhao Yan turned two turns and entered a remote alley.

At the end of the alley, there was a cloud of chaotic light, like a will-o'-the-wisp in a cemetery, blocking their sight.

According to the picture seen on the "Wangxiang Terrace", Gu Xu knew that there was the formation set up by Hu Yun to transform Shi Xiaohan into a "Ghost Attendant".

Reason told him that he should observe calmly first, make a decision before making a move.

After all, Hu Yun is not an ordinary ghost recorded in books, but a "ghost attendant" transformed from a practitioner.

His weakness, his fighting style, the moves he is good at...these are all unknown.

If you rush forward rashly, you may be in danger.

But in this situation, it is difficult for him to maintain absolute calm.

Because Shi Xiaohan's painful humming was coming intermittently from the chaotic light.Although he couldn't see her, Gu Xu could imagine the torture she was suffering.

So Gu Xu made a decisive decision: break in first, use the "Seven Burning Heaven Forms" to destroy the formation just like he did with the Kongxuan Sanren's promotion formation, and then play by ear.

Now he has the authority of "Heaven and Kun", and he can use the "Astrolabe" to determine the position. Although he cannot continuously build a space channel in a relatively short period of time, he can do multiple short-distance teleportation.

If you can't beat it, then take Shi Xiaohan and run away directly.

While thinking about it, he used his body skills, and rushed straight to the end of the alley like a ghost.

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, then spread the wings of the fire phoenix, and followed Gu Xu's pace.

This is her first battle after awakening her bloodline, and it is an excellent opportunity for her to hone herself and try out new moves.

She didn't want Gu Xuquan to steal the limelight.

…………

Within the formation, Yin Qi surged, and light and shadows were chaotic.

Shi Xiaohan stood in the center of the formation, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, his originally rosy lips also lost their color, and he looked like a reed trembling in the north wind.

Mr. Hu told her that this formation could keep her out of danger and teleport her to a safe place.

Perhaps it was because of his trust in the teacher of the academy, or maybe he was influenced by the bird seal mark on the back of his neck, Shi Xiaohan didn't doubt it, and walked into the formation in a daze.

Then Hu Yun began to chant the mantra.

Shi Xiaohan suddenly felt that countless dark winds penetrated into her sea of ​​consciousness, like knives, cutting her soul with pain.

If "Ling Chi" is a physical torture, then what she is suffering now is "a thousand cuts to pieces" mentally.

Somehow, she began to feel that something was wrong, and felt that this teleportation circle was different from what she had seen before—how could a normal teleportation circle torture people so painfully?
But at this time, her consciousness has gradually become dull.

As if taking a drug, the head becomes heavy, the thoughts become confused, the vision becomes blurred, and even the pain becomes distant, as if the pain is not oneself, but another person.

Vaguely, in the gloomy and dim light, she glimpsed a cemetery overgrown with vegetation, and a translucent figure wearing a crown and an imperial robe floating in the air like a ghost.

"Are you willing to be loyal to me?" Only the figure said in a majestic tone.

Shi Xiaohan's consciousness has long been chaotic, and he is unable to distinguish the danger hidden in this sentence.

Under the influence of the formation, the word "willing" has flowed out of her mouth uncontrollably.

Once she speaks, a contract will be concluded, and she will lose her self-awareness and become another "ghost attendant" of the Mangshan Ghost King.

However, at this moment, a mutation happened.

In the dim light, dots of orange-red light suddenly appeared, like fireflies in countless summer nights. They were not dazzling at first glance, but they contained scorching heat.

This scene was like a dream, which made Shi Xiaohan feel very familiar and close, but unfortunately, her thoughts were muddled, and she couldn't remember where she saw it before.

Afterwards, these firefly dots fell to the ground one after another.

The whole formation instantly burst into flames.

The pain receded and the gloom faded.

The surrounding temperature rose sharply.

The ghost in the imperial robe in the phantom also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared before.

This sudden change made Shi Xiaohan feel a little overwhelmed.

She wanted to raise her hand and rub her eyes.

But she found that a pair of heavy shackles appeared on her wrists at some point, binding her hands together.

There are many complicated runes carved on the shackles.

But Shi Xiaohan, as a talisman idiot, naturally couldn't understand the meaning and function of these runes.

She tried to run her true energy, trying to break the pair of shackles.

But the runes on the shackles suddenly flickered with gray-green light, blocking her true energy in her meridians, making her completely unable to use her strength.

"My true essence is locked." She realized.

She looked around anxiously, trying to find Hu Jiaoxi in the chaos, and wanted to ask him what was going on.

Suddenly, a familiar voice broke into her ears:

"Xiaohan, come with me!"

"Gu Xu!"

When Gu Xu's figure appeared in front of his eyes, Shi Xiaohan yelled out in surprise, and his mind seemed to become clearer.

He stood in the firelight, his clothes were loose, and his handsome face showed worry.

In his pupils as deep as a cold pool, Shi Xiaohan saw his own reflection.

Without even thinking about it, she ran straight towards him.

Although Shi Xiaohan often said things like "this heroine will cover you in the future", but when it comes to such a critical moment, Gu Xu will become the most solid support in her subconscious.

Not only is he knowledgeable, but he can always create miracles—every time he thinks that he broke the situation of Kongxuan Sanren on Yishan Mountain and made the two of them escape from death, Shi Xiaohan feels incredible.

However, as soon as he took a step, Shi Xiaohan felt his legs go limp, as if they had turned into cotton, and fell heavily to the ground.

She groaned in pain, propped her hands on the ground, and struggled to get up from the ground.

But she felt that the muscles in her legs were stiff and she couldn't control them, as if her lower body no longer belonged to her.

"Sorry." She said in a weak voice.

Gu Xu frowned.

He knew that this was the damage done to her by Hu Yun's array - although this array did not succeed in erasing her self-awareness, it made her soul so weak that it was difficult to flexibly control her body .

This scene made him furious, and made him want to crush Mangshan Ghost King and his "ghost servants" to ashes.

But his expression became more and more calm.

He knelt down in front of Shi Xiaohan and smiled at her gently: "It's okay, I'll carry you on my back."

Shi Xiaohan bit his lip and didn't speak, only felt his nose sore.

She has never hated her weak and powerless self like today.

Gu Xu lowered his head and looked at the pair of shackles on her hands.

The runes on the shackles are quite profound and complicated, and they must have come from the hands of an expert.Gu Xu guessed that among the group of "ghost attendants" of the Mangshan Ghost King, there was probably a talisman master with considerable attainments.

It takes a lot of time to decipher the runes.

So Gu Xu circulated his true energy and tried to break the shackles violently, but found that the shackles were stronger than he imagined, and there was not even a single crack.

In desperation, he could only grab Shi Xiaohan's bound arms and put them directly around his neck, then supported her thighs with both hands, and carried her on his back.

Shi Xiaohan lay limply on his back, with her face leaning on his shoulder.At this moment, she could clearly feel his body temperature and see the tiny beads of sweat on his cheeks.

Although they were engaged a long time ago, because Shi Xiaohan was more shy, she often blushed and walked away when Gu Xu teased her, so the two of them usually held hands at most, and rarely had such intimate contact. The first kiss is still kept.

But today, Shi Xiaohan no longer feels shy.

She just wanted to be close to him, as if his not-so-thick shoulders could continuously bring her a sense of security.

Gu Xu couldn't help sighing silently: This girl's weight is much lighter than I imagined.Who would have thought that such a thin girl would have a terrifying appetite comparable to that of an ancient ferocious beast?
However, for the convenience of action, Gu Xu took out a "Fashion Talisman" from "Xianyunju" and stuck it on Shi Xiaohan's body.

This made her body instantly light as paper, so that he could hardly feel her weight.

"Xiao Han, you may not know," Gu Xu used his spiritual sense to transmit voice to her, "Your physique is very special, it is the legendary 'demon god body', which is not weaker than Youzhou's 'flame spirit body' potential.

"Your teacher, 'Undefeated Sword God' Hu Yun, is actually the 'Ghost Servant' of Mangshan Ghost King.

"Because the Mangshan Ghost King took a fancy to your physique and wanted to turn you into his ghost attendant, he asked Hu Yun to lure you into this large formation.

"The function of this formation is to erase your self-awareness and turn you into a puppet who obeys the orders of the Mangshan Ghost King."

Gu Xu had already practiced the Soul Method.Now that he broke through the fourth realm, his spirit strength has been improved to a higher level. With his cultivation talent far surpassing that of ordinary people, he has mastered the art of spiritual consciousness and sound transmission without any effort.

His words, like a stone hitting a calm lake, made Shi Xiaohan's mood restless for a long time.

Mr. Hu...he turned out to be the "ghost attendant" of Mangshan Ghost King?
It turns out...he didn't want to protect me, but wanted to turn me into a "ghost attendant"?
Recalling all the details of the past, Shi Xiaohan became more and more frightened when he thought about it.

Her slender arms wrapped around Gu Xu's neck, and at the same time, she tried her best to drive her lead-filled legs, clamping his waist, just wanting to hold him tighter.

At the same time, Zhao Yan was already fighting Hu Yun nearby.

It was precisely because of her containment of Hu Yun that Gu Xu had the opportunity to destroy the formation and rescue Shi Xiaohan.

I saw Zhao Yan spreading the wings of the fire phoenix, floating in mid-air, holding the spear "Yizhangwei" tightly in her hand, surrounded by flames.

Her cold gaze, that awe-inspiring temperament, that fluttering dress, that plump and fit body, and the faintly visible pair of white and round long legs under the red dress, made Gu Xu involuntarily think of the myths and legends in her previous life. goddess of victory.

Hu Yun stood in front of her with a knife in one arm.

He was dressed in rags, his face was haggard, and his body still smelled of sweat. He looked like a beggar on the street.

His knife skills also look unpretentious, without brilliant light and shadow.

But when he slashed at Zhao Yan with a knife, the aura he displayed was no less than that of the Valkyrie-like Zhao Yan.

This is the special feature of "Ghost Attendant"——

While erasing the monk's personal will, it retains its cultivation and magical powers so that it can still fight like a human monk.

In addition, like Gu Xu's "Taishang Beiji Town Devil Killing Talisman", although it has a huge lethality against ghosts with Yin evil attributes, it has no effect on "ghost servants".

While Hu Yun was swinging the knife, in addition to the "swish" sound of the blade cutting through the air, Gu Xu also faintly heard a clear dragon chant.

"The first form of "Ping Tian Jian Jue", 'Dragon Howl'."

Gu Xu immediately thought of a sword technique.

"Ping Tian Jian Jue" is a high-grade martial arts handed down from Jiange in Shu land. It is said that it is powerful, but few people can understand it.Among the younger generation of Jiange, only Su Xiao and Qi Yuanshan can completely use the first three moves.

But he quickly realized that what Hu Yun used was a knife, not a sword.

Reminiscent of Hu Yun's status as an "abandoned disciple of the Jiange", Gu Xu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this person is truly a genius, able to adapt a difficult and difficult sword technique into a sword technique.

It would be great if he didn't become a "ghost servant".

Facing Hu Yun's fierce attack, Zhao Yan didn't retreat a step.

She swung her long spear in front of her, the flames of the gun were dazzling, blocking Hu Yun's majestic saber intent.

The dragon's roar stopped abruptly, and the phoenix's cry resounded through the nine heavens.

The two forces collided together, causing the frantic airflow to scatter and rush, blowing off the branches of the trees, tearing off the flags of the restaurants, and smashing the windows of the residential houses; cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, shaking off countless dust and gravel .

"I've become stronger." Feeling the surging power in her blood, Zhao Yan thought silently.

Hu Yun has the strength close to the peak of the sixth realm, and masters a superb sword technique.

Zhao Yan had just broken through the fifth realm, yet she was able to fight him [-]-[-] in the first round of confrontation, and even had a slight upper hand.

This was absolutely impossible before.

Regarding this, on the one hand, Zhao Yan lamented the amazing potential of the "flame spirit body", on the other hand, she became more and more grateful to Gu Xu.

Gu Xu, as a "human-shaped flint", ignited her hope when she was most disheartened, and made her see the bright future.

Without him, she might not be able to experience this powerful feeling in her entire life.

At this time, Gu Xu came to her side with Shi Xiaohan on his back.

He supported Shi Xiaohan's leg with his left hand, and held the astrolabe with his right hand. Without saying a word, he directly performed the second "Bright Candle" of "Seven Burning Heavens".

"Bright Candle" uses monks themselves as materials to construct formations.

Use true energy as energy, and spiritual will as the eyes.

Once the construction is successful, the range of more than ten meters centered on the monk will become a high-temperature field, enough to melt metal.

At the same time, all fire attribute spells used by Gu Xu will have about three times the original power, which is very suitable for dealing with enemies with a higher realm than him.

It's just that "Bright Candle" consumes too much real energy and cannot last for too long, so Gu Xu rarely used this trick before.

However, as his realm broke through, the total amount of his true essence rose sharply, which was already enough to support the operation of the "Bright Candle".

Three, two, one.

His eyes closed and opened again.

The billowing heat wave rushed to all directions centered on him, and soon flooded the entire alley.

Zhao Yan pretended to glance at him casually.

Looking at him and Shi Xiaohan on his back, and seeing how they trust and depend on each other, a hint of envy emerged in her heart.

Zhao Yan has been lonely since childhood.

Even though she has a beautiful appearance and a prominent family background, she has never made a real friend, let alone a lover she really likes.

In the eyes of men, there is often hidden fear in the appreciation; in the words of women, there is often alienation mixed with compliments.

Even her father, who is closest to her blood, has been hiding and deceiving her.

She couldn't help thinking: If one day in the future, I was the one who was captured by the ghost, would anyone be willing to get angry and become a beauty?And in the future, will I meet someone, someone who makes me willing to risk my life to save him?
However, before she could figure out the answer to the question, the true essence in her body boiled again.And the "Sacred Fire Totem" on her body also uncontrollably lit up with a dark red light.

"What's going on here?" Zhao Yan couldn't figure out what happened to her for a while.

Seeing this scene, Gu Xu who was next to him couldn't help being deeply surprised: "Bright Candle"'s ability to strengthen fire attribute spells seems to be effective not only for me, but also for Zhao Yan!
