Chapter 173 Who is the Villain? (Part )
Wei Canghao reacted incredibly quickly. He kicked forward and Huai Gu subconsciously raised his arm to block. In a flash, Wei Canghao grabbed Gu Yue Jiarong and Master Jiashan with one hand each and retreated.
Huai Gu raised his eyes coldly, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his dark eyes, red lips, and a pair of strange ghost pupils revealed a cruel light.
Although Li Yehe and Chi Jiangdong did not know why the "woman in red" was so malicious and murderous towards the five of them, since the other party had made her attitude clear, they naturally would not sit still and wait to die, and attacked from the side.
Huai Gu was best at playing with people's hearts. He stood still with a string of golden bells tied around his slender white wrists. He turned his hands and shook them, and a string of crisp sounds flowed out like a stream.
Chi Jiangdong's head exploded, and the swelling hit his forehead, making his eyes go dark. He felt that everything around him could no longer attract his attention. The only thing in his world was the magical ringing sound.
Bang!
The sword in his hand fell, and there was no expression on his face.
Huai Gu glanced at Li Yehe lightly and said with her red lips: "Kill him for me."
Huai Gu rang the golden bell again. When the rapid bell rang, Chi Jiangdong's body was no longer controlled by his will. He absorbed the long sword with his internal force and stabbed Li Yehe with his backhand.
Li Yehe was also bewitched by the bell, but his soul had just been moved, and his spirit had developed some "antibodies" to this kind of thing, so he still had some sanity left, and he was not completely bewitched like Chi Jiangdong.
Although he was conscious, his movements became mechanical and stiff. Even though he knew that danger was approaching, he could only move like a puppet and face the tip of Chi Jiangdong's sword without hesitation.
Huai Gu had clearly mastered this tactic of mutual slaughter.
At this critical moment, a sudden and fierce force hit Huai Gu's wrist. With a "crack", the golden bell tied on his wrist shattered and scattered all over the ground.
Huai Gu frowned and covered his painful hand, glancing in the direction of Wei Canghao.
He put away his bow.
As soon as the ringing stopped, Li Yehe's eyes widened, and he quickly took back control of his body and dodged...
Chi Jiangdong was also awakened instantly. Seeing that Li Yehe was about to die tragically under his sword, he hurriedly withdrew his sword, but he was unable to do so in time and the two of them collided.
"It seems that you are not as useless as I thought."
Huai Gu saw his "prey" escape death, and a trace of worry flashed across his eyes, but he was no longer careless. The smile on his face was twisted, like a poisonous snake locking onto a target.
"I wanted to let you die happily, but now... I think I was too kind. Death may be a gift to you."
Master Jiashan opened his "Heavenly Eye" and could naturally see the black energy on Huai Gu's body that was corroded and stained by evil spirits.
When the black air began to reveal its sharp "fangs", it indicated that a terrible disaster was about to befall them.
"We have no grudges against each other, so why does he have to hunt us down?"
Chi Jiangdong and Li Yehe ran back to Wei Canghao and the others. Chi Jiangdong was puzzled: "Also, is he a man or a woman?"
Li Yehe's dark eyes darkened: "I'm afraid it's because of Xu Shanshan."
"He's about to take action." Master Jiashan warned.
Huai Gu stomped his feet, and the black mist around him turned into talismans and flew up. Countless small snakes swam over from the ground. They were different from ordinary snakes, as they had black runes on their skin instead of snake patterns.
"Do you know what it feels like to be killed by a snake's bites?"
The talisman was suspended in the air above his head, forming a rotating sphere that emitted rays of light.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the talisman ball fell into Huai Gu's palm.
There were rustling sounds, and more and more snakes rushed in from all directions. Due to the large number, they formed a scene of a human pyramid, densely packed and stacked one on top of another. I don't know if there were thousands or tens of thousands of them. It was a sight that made people's scalps tingle and their hair stand on end.
He smiled at the five of them and said, "Don't worry, you will experience something unforgettable in your own life."
Completely...surrounded!
Gu Yuejiarong clenched her palms, only to find that they were already sticky with sweat: "Only Xu Shanshan can save us now."
"But now she can't even protect herself." Chi Jiangdong looked forward anxiously.
Master Jiashan said: "So we have to help her. Helping her is helping ourselves."
This is beautifully said.
Li Yehe followed up by asking, "How can we help in this situation?" Upon hearing this, the four of them looked at him in tacit understanding.
Again.
It's that look again, as if hesitant and full of meaning.
"Me?" he asked uncertainly.
"We will do everything we can to get you to her."
After Master Jiashan finished speaking, he took a step forward, took a deep breath, raised his palm, pulled Chi Jiangdong's sword, and cut his palm without blinking.
"Master Jiashan?!"
"I have devoted myself to Buddhism for many years. I have a special physique, and the blood in my body has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and removing filth. It is usually of no use, but it can help me out in this urgent situation."
As he explained, he sprinkled blood in a circle. The snakes smelled the blood and were afraid to come near.
Huai Gu closed his eyes and took a long breath, then opened his eyes and said in surprise: "Your blood seems to be a little unusual... No wonder it caught her eye."
But the more this happened, the more Huai Gu wanted to keep them.
However, among these small snakes, four big snakes that were more than three meters long and as thick as buckets suddenly appeared. They ran over the small snakes, swung their thick bodies, and pounced on Master Jiashan with their smelly tongues.
In order to protect the four people behind him, Jiashan did not retreat but advanced instead. Regardless of his own safety, he grasped the sharp sword and cut another blow.
The pain and blood loss made his breathing disordered and his lips pale, but there was no fear on his solemn face.
He stretched out his palm and put the bloody handprint on the big snake, but saw the big snake's ferocious mouth suddenly stopped in mid-air. After a while, it seemed to have suffered some fatal injuries, and its body began to roll violently, and the snake skin suddenly cracked during this period.
They stared in amazement, and then the big snake turned into a pool of pus, deader than dead.
This blood... is poisonous.
And it is highly poisonous.
"Quick, send Li Yehe to Xu Shanshan."
"it is good!"
Chi Jiangdong used the sword stained with Master Jiashan's blood to pick up the snake and swept a large area.
Although Gu Yue Jiarong was just a weak scholar, he had brains. Seeing that the snakes were afraid of Jiashan's blood, he dipped the blood on the soles of his shoes and stepped out a piece of open space with his feet.
Wei Canghao tore off the cloak behind him, rolled it into a stiff long whip, and swung it at the small snakes around him.
They worked together and finally opened up a relatively safe narrow passage. They were still trying their best to drive away and kill the snakes to buy time for Li Yehe to pass.
Although Li Yehe didn't know why they insisted on asking him to find Xu Shanshan, he didn't have time to think about it at this time. He could only do it, otherwise everyone would die here.
Seeing that he couldn't take down these people for a long time, Huai Gu's face darkened: "It's difficult to deal with them."
Seeing Li Yehe abandon his companions and rush towards Xu Shanshan, he said coldly: "Nangong Fei, stop him."
Even if he didn't confess, Nangong Fei would never allow these people to get close to His Majesty.
When Li Yehe saw "Wu Yi" flash out, his expression changed suddenly.
"If I had known that you had a relationship with her, I would not have kept you alive until now." Nangong Fei said calmly.
The grudge between Li Yehe and "Wu Wei" cannot be explained in just a few words.
The fact that she "transferred his soul" to him, almost making him the eternal sinner of the Li family, was enough to make Li Yehe and her fight to the death.
However, the "Wu 妸" in front of him had changed so much from the Wu 妸 he had met before, as if they were two different people.
Two souls in one body?
Li Yehe said bluntly: "You and that woman in red, no, the man, both seem to have special feelings for Xu Shanshan. Could it be that you are also a man?"
