Because he wanted to help Xiaoxia stop the pursuit of the two stone men, Ruan Zhan had no choice but to tip the bloodwood sword to his left hand and point it at them. When he tipped the sword back to his right hand and pointed it at Yang Muyou again, Yang Muyou was already pulling the strings. Suddenly it stood up like a puppet.
"Your Blood Wood Sword is useless to me. It can only deal with souls, but it cannot deal with substantial things!" Yang Muyou said.
"Really?" Ruan Zhan raised his eyebrows, "Then why don't you leave immediately, why don't you dare to let your dog bite me?"
"You - do you really think that the fingerprints you made stuck me in this skin?"
"Your magic power is profound, I don't count on that." Ruan Zhan said without any hesitation, "But I don't want to hurt your skin, just your soul. If you are fine, don't be afraid. As for the Blood Wood Sword, why doesn’t the soul come out of it and abandon the skin immediately?”
"I'm waiting, aren't you waiting too?"
"You are waiting to escape, I am waiting to kill you, this is different."
"What's the difference? I don't care about immediate success or failure, but you have to know that you have made a lifelong enemy, a very strong enemy!"
"I won't come if I'm afraid of you!" Ruan Zhan showed no fear and refused to give in an inch of ground.
Yang Muyou smiled sinisterly, "Then before we take action, let me analyze the situation for you. Yes, you injured my soul root, making my super strength worse than yours now. But here There are four people in total, and you are one against three. If you use your magic bloodwood sword to hurt me, those two people will take the opportunity to attack you. Although they are possessed by ghosts, they have the physique of stone, and they are powerful and incompetent. Easy to destroy. Well, even if your soul is attached to the stone man, what chance do you have of winning against two people?"
"I just bet that you are selfish and that you are in a hurry to leave your body and find a dark place to heal your soul root. Because you know that the longer the injury lasts, the more damage it will to your mana, so I just need to keep an eye on you."
"Look, I'm hiding in this skin and can't come out. How about letting those two guys attack you first? I'll heal you after I kill you. Although the damage will be great, it's better than doing it here. Consumption."
"If you could, you would have done this long ago. Since you know the Bloodwood Sword, you should know that if the person using the sword has a certain level of magic power, it is harder than steel and can pierce anything, including Flesh, even stone!"
"Are you confident that you have that skill?"
Ruan Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth, with a look that was both contemptuous and tough, "To be honest, I don't know. Let's just take a gamble. How about it? Do you dare?"
Having an important person in your heart is a weakness, but it is also a great advantage, because it allows you to protect her at all costs and enhances your courage and strength. Yang Muyou was different. He only had himself in his heart and only cherished himself. Although he seemed to have no weaknesses, it still made him timid and did not dare to give it a try. This gave Ruan Zhan, who was at a disadvantage, a chance.
"Okay, then let's wait. You are determined to wear down my power, and wait until I am at my weakest before you strike. But do you think I will sit still and wait for death? Do you think that ordinary man's Wanli can stop me? Have my people destroyed your body? Aren’t you just as dead without a body? Will you be attached to this stone all your life? Can Yue Xiaoxia be safe after entering this underworld? This is my territory! My soul Although Gen was injured, you are not having an easy time either. What do you think, let’s give it a try after thinking about it. As long as you agree, I guarantee that the three of you will leave safely."
"So you can heal your injuries, restore your damaged skills, and then find other opportunities to kill us?" Ruan Zhan said coldly.
He knew very well that if this undead spirit was not destroyed this time, they would be restless day and night in the future, at least until his soul root was damaged to a certain extent before they could have a chance to breathe.
"We are all cultivators, why don't you recognize me?"
"No need to talk nonsense, this is a big gamble. Everyone is a pawn, including you and me." Ruan Zhan was actually very worried about Xiaoxia and Wan Li, but on the surface he remained calm, "We have each other. There are checks and balances here, no one can touch them, but I alone suppressed the most trouble-making chess piece and two powerful lackeys. Which side do you think has the upper hand? If we really lose to you, we can only live our lives. ."
"Can you bear to let the fragrance of your delicate beauty disappear?"
"She will be fine." Ruan Zhan hesitated and said slowly.
He had to leave her aside to face various dangerous and frightening situations alone. Although he felt so distressed, if he didn't do this, when Yang Muyou recovered his mana and his ability could not be released, she would A worse death!
"Can't we reconcile?"
"Absolutely not!"
Yang Muyou was finally speechless, because this verbal exchange showed all his weaknesses.
His face was ashen, and his body was swaying here and there like a stick on the ground, but he did not dare to move under the threat of the Blood Wood Sword. Even if he did not dare to leave his body and be chased by the Blood Wood Sword, he would not He didn't dare to control his physical body and leave because he didn't dare to gamble on what Ruan Zhan's skills were, fearing that if he could turn the blood wood sword into a sharp weapon, it would pierce his shell and damage his soul.
They were facing each other like this. Yang Muyou was thinking about how to escape in order to seek revenge in the future, while Ruan Zhan, under his calm appearance, was worried about the safety of the other two people.
&&&&&&
Xiaoxia didn't know why Ruan Zhan asked her to run out, she just followed his instructions. She knew that she had no magic power and weak yang energy. If she stayed there, she would only cause trouble for him.
She stood in the sea of flowers and thought for a moment, thinking that Ruan Zhan must want her to meet Wan Li, but where was Wan Li? The scene at that time was so chaotic that she couldn't communicate with him and was worried about his own safety as one against three.
His soul won’t be captured and refined, right? But at least he must keep his body, so that he can have hope. With this thought in mind, she thought about looking for Wanli, but found that the scenery in front of her had changed.
It turned out to be a sea of flowers, but now it was a large open space in a dense forest. Xiaoxia was standing in the middle of the open space. The direction of the black stone house was a small hill behind her, surrounded by strange-shaped stones.
Unconsciously, it was already late at night, and the pale moonlight shone down, making the surrounding atmosphere even more weird and gloomy. Xiao Xia took a look at the dense forest and found that most of the trees here had snarling teeth and claws. They looked like ghosts in the moonlight, with little green lights flashing through them.
It's just phosphorus fire! Xiaoxia comforted herself.
She didn't know where Wan Li should be, but she thought that since the physical body of Ruan Zhan he was protecting should be in a hidden place, she mustered up the courage to walk towards the densest place with trees on the left.
The bare soles of her feet stung, and she knew they were gravel and grass roots; the cool numbness on her feet, she knew, was an unknown insect; she also knew that it was possible to enter such a primitive and remote jungle. There would be more snakes, insects, rats, ants and even beasts waiting for her. She was scared to death, but she had to go ahead and do it because she believed that Ruan Zhan and Wan Li would need help.
A gust of cold wind blew by, rustling the surrounding trees and grass, and a whimpering bird call came from the forest, making Xiaoxia even more frightened. She paused for a while and continued to walk forward. Suddenly her foot was suffocated and she tripped over something and fell to the ground. When she lowered her head, she saw a wild vine.
She breathed a sigh of relief, but the wild vine suddenly slowly transformed into a pale hand, groping around her ankle.
She was so frightened that she screamed, and the sound sounded particularly shrill in the open space, but she couldn't care less, she just grabbed randomly, and when she caught a sharp stone, she smashed it without thinking.
She hit it very hard, and the texture of the strange hand was like dead wood, so she nailed it to the ground with sharp stones. The strange hand struggled and made a squeaking sound like a mouse. Xiaoxia stood up and ran. She didn't hear the strange hand until she reached the edge of the jungle and made sure it wasn't chasing her.
But despite this, she found that she ran in the wrong direction. In order to escape, she ran to the opposite side of the hill, but she was originally going to the left. She hesitated for a moment and decided that in order to avoid the strange hand, she had to enter the woods from here first, and then circle back to the left, just to check that Wanli was not in this direction.
The dead leaves in the woods were thicker than those in the open space, and they rustled when she stepped on them, as if something was following her. She didn't dare to look back to see what was going on, but she saw that there was nothing else but her own shadow and the mottled tree shadows in the moonlight.
This made her feel a little relieved, but after taking a few steps, something grabbed her sleeve again.
She froze for a moment and forced herself to look back. Only then did she realize that the branch had caught her, and she quickly pulled the branch away. The woods made her extremely nervous. She wanted to find Wanli quickly, so she quickened her pace. But there were always branches hanging on her. She impatiently pulled the branches away again and again, watching the trees in front of her gradually become sparse, as if she was about to walk out of the woods and onto the mountain road. There was no trace of him yet, so she was sure that he was not in this direction. . At this time, she was caught again.
She rubbed her back in annoyance, and the branch bounced away, but almost at the same time it touched her arm. She wiped it again, but she felt that the touch of the branch was cold and smooth, not the warmth and roughness of wood.
She habitually looked towards the shadow on the ground. She was still alone.
"Ghosts have no shadows." A voice came from behind her.
Subconsciously, she squatted on the ground holding her head, just in time to see a pair of feet slowly moving in front of her. The embroidered shoes were white, with a hole in the toe and a toe bone sticking out, standing there abruptly.
My feet are not touching the ground!
She held the amulet on her chest and refused to raise her head, but the foot in front of her took a step back. Slowly, a head hung down, and it bent down to look at her.
Long black hair, skull head, and flashing phosphorescence in the eye holes.
"I am a ghost, I have no shadow!" She grinned.
