Soul Contract
Within the barrier, Yuan Feng's eyes turned slightly cold, and he slashed the black-gold long blade horizontally, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch. With one move, he actually forced Xie Lingyan back more than ten steps.
The hot air flow spread in the barrier, and the air seemed to be boiling.
Xie Lingyan chuckled and advanced instead of retreating. The sword light flashed across the sky, carrying the power of wind and thunder.
In the confrontation between the two forces, the light and shadow in the barrier became chaotic.
Suddenly, the head on the ground slowly spoke.
His voice was still as cold as ice, and his words were steady: "To defeat Xie Lingyan, Yuan Feng will have to fight for a long time."
"Being able to cut meteorite iron, Lu Xiyun's realm is above the third level. Fang Cun, you can't win, go."
The voice gradually became lower, and the words just spoken were like the last glimmer of light before a person's death. The eyes under the black iron gradually dimmed, and finally became silent, completely reduced to a cold metal body.
For the first time since entering the house, Fang Cun stopped smiling.
His eyes darkened slightly. Xie Lingyan's barrier completely isolated the inside and outside. It would take Yuan Feng at least a quarter of an hour to kill Xie Lingyan. It would also take him half an incense stick of time to break Xie Lingyan's formation.
But Lu Xiyun only needed one sword to kill him.
No hesitation.
Fang Cun jumped out and leaped directly from the house into the yard.
The sword light followed closely, and the courtyard walls and eaves seemed to be paper-pasted mud bricks, cracking in an instant.
Fang Cun was also affected by the sword energy and fell to the street.
There were cries of surprise among the crowd, and soon someone recognized Fang Cun.
“It’s a miracle doctor!”
"Someone wants to kill the miracle doctor! Go find the town mayor!"
“Protect the Miracle Doctor!!
For a moment, the streets were in an uproar. People flocked in and actually stood in front of Lu Xiyun!
A human wall is impossible to break through with swords or knives.
Lu Xiyun's eyes flashed, and he wanted to take action, but he stopped in the end.
The sword suddenly stopped in mid-air, and Lu Xiyun shouted angrily, "Get out of the way! This man is Yanshi. The large number of people missing in Sanxi Town are all caused by him!"
However, the people were not moved at all, and instead shouted back -
"What does the matter of Sanxi Town have to do with us?!"
"Besides, Sanxi Town is more than ten miles away from us by mountain road. What proof do you have?!"
"The miracle doctor saves lives in this town every day, and we're all watching! What gives you the right to slander him?!"
"My father was cured by a miracle doctor! If you dare to touch this miracle doctor, I will fight you to the death!!"
Lu Xiyun frowned and wanted to explain.
But can it be explained?
There is no way to explain, and no time to explain.
These Yanshis weren't in town to kill people, but they were always there to save people. These people had benefited from his kindness, so they only saw the good in him. Even if Lu Xiyun told them to do something, they wouldn't believe him.
The dead person has nothing to do with oneself, so the crime of murder is lighter.
Sometimes, the world is more absurd than the sword.
At this time, Ren Xuan also chased out, looked up and understood the situation.
Seeing Lu Xiyun's anxious expression, the first thought that flashed through Ren Xuan's mind was -
Damn it, this kind of thing should be left to Qin Shu.
Lu Xiyun was still too well protected. Someone like the Dog Emperor never had this kind of moral burden.
The next moment, Ren Xuan flipped his sleeve, and the mechanism in his sleeve opened with a "click".
In an instant, dense three-inch black thorns suddenly rose into the air and covered the entire street.
The sunlight reflected a cold luster on the surface of the black thorns, and shot out like a sudden rain with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
At this moment, reason is useless.
Even though the three-inch black thorn did not hit the vital point, in just a moment, the crowd that had just blocked the road fled in all directions!
The blood mist spread and the crowd collapsed.
Ren Xuan watched all this coldly.
It takes great courage to risk one's life to protect someone who is not even a relative or friend.
——Most people only dare to block the blades of good people, but dare not block the knives of evil people.
Ren Xuan narrowed his eyes. Fang Cun was terribly weak today. Since the beginning of the fight, Fang Cun had been fleeing, with almost no ability to fight back.
Perhaps, Fang Cun’s four puppets are not around at this moment.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Ren Xuan's mind raced, and he made a quick decision: "Master Lu, I am responsible for these people. I will never kill them. Just kill this man!"
In front of him, Fang Cun heard this and sighed softly, his tone filled with a bit of helplessness: "Tsk, this brother, how can you talk about life and death so carelessly."
Fang Cun slowly dusted off the corner of his clothes and stood up lightly: "Lu Xiyun, I admit that I can't beat you now."
"But if you kill me, no one in this world will be able to save Xie Lingyan."
He slowly spread his hands, his tone leisurely: "How about we both take a step back and stop the fighting today? I will help you heal City Lord Xie, how about that?"
Ren Xuan's eyes suddenly turned cold when he heard this, and he spoke urgently, "Master Lu, don't listen to his nonsense! If we open the barrier, he and Yuan Feng will be able to control the situation that City Lord Xie has worked so hard to control, and we will no longer be able to do so!"
Xue Yi and Ye Tu, one is a magician and the other is a martial artist, but one plus one is greater than five.
Once the situation gets out of control, Xie Lingyan's situation will become even more dangerous.
Fang Cun sighed: "Well, I'll tell you directly."
He said slowly, "Xie Lingyan's energy was taken away by the old contract. If you want to save him, you must sign a new contract with him."
Fang Cun's eyes were calm. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Just find a formation master you trust. There aren't many formation masters who know this kind of formation, but with your status and position, it won't be difficult to find one."
Ren Xuan was completely shocked.
It was a forced sale. If Lu Xiyun had a low sense of morality, Fang Cun would basically have no choice but to accept his fate.
Fang Cun was obviously not so innocent. He just curled his index finger slightly.
The next moment——
Suddenly, someone in the crowd jumped up, holding a rusty machete in his hand, and rushed towards Lu Xiyun like a madman.
The man looked extremely painful, but his movements were terrifyingly fast and cruel.
Lu Xiyun's eyes changed slightly, his body moved instinctively, and he raised the frost blade, the sword light was as cold as frost and snow.
The crisp sound of broken iron exploded in the air, and half of the man's arm was also shaken into a bloody mess by the sword energy!
The man screamed and collapsed to the ground with tears on his face, his voice full of pain and fear.
“Ahhhh!! What’s going on?! Help!!”
"I can't control myself! Help! Help!!"
The crowd gasped and stepped back in horror.
Fang Cun looked at Lu Xiyun, his smile faded a little: "Or, Master Lu, how about we continue the fight?"
He smiled softly: "Guess how many people I have 'cured' in this town?"
Ren Xuan's eyes turned cold and he slowly narrowed them.
——Using people as puppets, this is what Yanshi is.
Lu Xiyun was silent for a moment, then retracted his sword: "Untie your formation, and I'll let you go."
The heavenly formation and the painting of heaven and earth separate the inside and the outside, forming a world of their own.
If Fang Cun could untie his formation, then only Xie Lingyan's formation would remain.
If Lu Xiyun steps into the barrier, the situation inside the barrier will instantly become two against one.
Fang Cun didn't hesitate at all and withdrew his formation with his hand.
His quick shots and skillful movements are a model of selling out teammates.
"Not good!" Ren Xuan's face suddenly changed, and he shouted urgently: "Master Lu! We have to leave quickly! His puppet is nearby!"
The gray-robed Yanshi said that it would take time to determine the outcome within the barrier. If Fang Cun didn't deliberately let them kill Yuan Feng, then Fang Cun would have backup in half a quarter of an hour at most.
Fang Cun looked at Ren Xuan, his eyes carrying a somewhat inexplicable meaning: "Brother, it seems that you know me very well."
He spoke slowly, "Brother, I, Fang Cun, will remember you."
Ren Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Damn! Mad Dog remembered it!
Ren Xuanke didn't have time to talk nonsense with Mad Dog.
If all of Fang Cun's fourth-level puppets are nearby, they must retreat immediately. Any delay will lead to a rapid deterioration in the situation.
Ren Xuan decisively grabbed Lu Xiyun and said in a crisp and clear voice: "Jiang En has already gone to call for reinforcements. Let's go! Go and pick up City Lord Xie!"
On the street, as a few people left, the crowd of onlookers gradually gathered again.
However, at this moment——
In the crowd, a small figure suddenly broke free from his father's obstruction and rushed forward.
The child was only about eleven or twelve years old, with red eyes. It was obvious that the conflict just now had frightened him.
But even so, the young man still staggered towards Fang Cun.
The child's voice was a little hoarse from crying: "Brother Miracle Doctor, are you okay?!"
Fang Cun lowered his eyes, looked down at the child who jumped into his arms, and smiled gently.
He touched the child's head and said, "It's okay. The bad guys are gone."
The child lay in Fang Cun's arms and burst into tears: "If Daddy hadn't stopped us, Xiaoyi would have helped big brother deal with those bad guys! These adults don't keep their promises!!"
Fang Cun rubbed the top of the child's head and said, "Xiaoyi is a good child."
But the child rubbed his front and sobbed softly, his voice filled with reluctance and longing: "Xiaoyi doesn't want to be a good child... Xiaoyi wants to be a hero like the city lord! That way... Xiaoyi can protect everyone..."
Fang Cun chuckled softly, seemingly casually, "A hero like Xie Lingyan?"
The child nodded vigorously.
Beside him, the child's father stepped forward with a face full of shame, looking embarrassed, not daring to look directly at Fang Cun: "Master Divine Doctor, I'm so sorry..."
"I vowed to repay your kindness with my own death... but as soon as they pulled out their knife, my legs went limp and I lost all consciousness... I promise! I won't do that next time!"
Fang Cun listened, his smile still on his face, but his tone was still light and casual: "How can you take such words seriously?"
He looked at the man with a half-smile and said slowly, "I never take such words seriously."
The crowd suddenly fell silent. After a moment, someone couldn't help but shout, "How can this not be serious?! Master Divine Doctor, you saved us. We all saw it!"
"Next time you're in trouble, I'll protect you even if it costs me my life!"
The crowd was restless and oaths were uttered one after another.
Fang Cun just smiled gently, his tone calm and unperturbed: "Then I'll have to trouble you all."
Fang Cun lowered his head and said softly to the young man, "Brother will take you to buy some candy later, okay?"
Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and before he could say anything, his father nodded repeatedly: "Sir, take him with you. This child is very naughty. I feel at ease with him being with you."
Fang Cun nodded, picked up the child, and strode away from the messy street.
···
The light in the pharmacy was dim, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.
Yuan Feng, who was trapped alone in the barrier, had an indifferent expression, as if he had been isolated from this world and became a person in a painting.
Yuan Feng spoke in a cold tone: "Why do you want to break the formation?"
Fang Cun raised his hands innocently and smiled nonchalantly: "I am no match for Lu Xiyun. If you don't break the formation, you won't be able to see me."
As he spoke, he stepped into the house, brushed off his sleeves, and sighed lazily: "Tsk, bad luck."
"Originally, we were going to deal with Xie Lingyan. The four puppets were all in Yinshu City, but who knew Xie Lingyan would come looking for us, and we were able to cut off the source of the trouble."
Fang Cun rubbed his brows, looking helpless: "I still have to reattach Junior Master's head. It's troublesome."
Yuan Feng sat quietly in the barrier, looked up at him, and said in a cold tone, "The head was taken away."
The air suddenly stagnated and Fang Cun's eyes darkened.
The gentleness faded, and the murderous intent surged.
The man who was at ease just now suddenly had a different aura. It was no longer the leisurely look of a man with a hidden blade, but a murderous aura filled with white bones.
The child in his arms timidly grasped Fang Cun's collar, looked up at him, and whispered -
"Brother Miracle Doctor, you're so scary."
